Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Sterling and Donade back Saturday afternoon, winning football bear
Cats earlier you're hurt it here on the Home of
the bear Cats thirty eight thirty over Iowa State the
Cyclones going back home to Iowa losers now five and one,
bear Cats adding another w and later on mikeywallspace dot com.
Going to join us right now on the line, because
(00:22):
maybe we're just juggling kind enough to give us some
time his off season, his time to run freely, to enjoy,
you know, riverboats along the riverbanks of the Ohio and
down by the Great American Ballpark. Tommy Thrall back with
Sterling and Donnade.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
How are you? How's everything?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Hey? You know what I'm doing? Well?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I've I think I'm back on schedule from the West coast.
So of course, what's the schedule this time of year.
I guess I could sleep till noon and it makes
no difference.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But no, everything's good.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's why you're my hero.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't want to dwell on what was sort of
a deflating, sad circumstance with not going beyond the wildcard matchup.
I think a lot of people, you know, it's in
that transitional mode of trying to think what next off
season acquisitions changes to bring more offense and all the
other stuff. But thinking about that in your experience in
(01:14):
the booth, which, by the way, what a joy to
listen to. You paint the picture wherever you are of
what's going on driving around two seventy five aimlessly as
I do too much and everything else. Whether you're working
with the Cowboy or Chris Welsh or during that first
game of the Wildcard Series with both those guys in there,
what a blast.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'm really really fortunate that
I get to work with such talented individuals. We're all
close friends, whether it's those two guys or Jim Day.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Or Sam Luckier that's in there.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I mean, it's really a treat to get to work
with everybody that I have the privilege working with. So
it was certainly a fun year in the booth, and yeah,
an entertaining year on the field as well. So it's
an exciting young group and the corp is certainly in
place to I think, have some long term success here.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's what we hope in without being too hateful about it.
What seemingly started in the beginning of the season and
lasted all season. Was the inconsistent consistency of a mnemic
offensive output. So, I mean, there'll be some gross south
Stuart obviously came up. He made an impact for a
(02:27):
kid who's like eight years old or something. It's unbelievable.
My neighbor by the way, was so devastated that he
ditched the stash. She's like, you got to talk to him.
I'm like, I don't know the kid. I mean, I'm
a fan, but I love the stash. I'm like, all right,
all right, but are you gonna go out and you
think and find another bat to try to to, you know,
(02:47):
to add to some more run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Scoring or what I think.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
So, I think the defense is another thing that I
think still needs a little work.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You'd like to see how he take a huge step.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Forward at shortstop, especially if he's going to be your
answer at shortstop every day. Uh, he's got to be
a little more consistent there. I think from an offensive
standpoint that that was a that was a huge void
in this Red lineup. I thought for for a couple
of months with with him just not I mean and
(03:19):
and consider this, I mean, as much as Ellie struggled,
he was still a guy that was an above average
player even while he was down. So uh, that's that
just kind of gives you an idea of just how
good he can do. We already know how good he
can be, but I think the ceiling is still there.
I think the potential is still there. I think that
(03:40):
he's the type of player offensively that, like we saw
this year, even when he's not necessarily the superstar Ellie,
he's still going to do little things that are going
to help you have a chance to win.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The other big.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Void for this team this year was Matt mcquain. So
the big question there is, all right, you cut date
with mc pane and move on and find something else
to play second base and maybe trade him or something
like that. I don't think personally that that's the answer.
I truly believe.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That he is still going to be a very.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
That talked with Lance about it when the team was
in Arizona down the stretch. That look last year, in
going into the offseason and during the offseason, I really
didn't expect for mcclaim to.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Have a very good year this year. He missed the
whole season.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
This is going to be a second big league year.
In essence, that's a year where a lot of guys
struggled to begin with. Not only that, but it's it's
also his second big league year after missing an entire season,
So I wasn't really surprised that he struggled the way
he did. Now what did surprise me a little bit
was that it was as sustained as it was. I
(04:46):
thought he would kind of take his lumps here and
there and then really take off it at some point
late in the year, and it just never really came
together for him on a consistent basis. So that was
one of the things that really surprised me. If you
get those two guys playing up to the potential.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
But I think if one goes, the other one goes too.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Just because in a perfect world, those guys are hitting
together in this red lineup. So when you factor that in,
getting those guys going would make a huge difference in
this lineup, then you have salth Stewart's back. Now again,
this next year is basically going to be his first year.
I don't think you can count on a first year
(05:27):
player to be a huge contributor to your offense. But
if you don't have to rely on him and you
don't have to hit him up in the order, then
maybe he can be a pretty big contributor, just because
we've seen the potential. But he's got to fit in
somewhere defensively. I mean, this is a team that can't
give away outs on the defensive side, They're still going
to have to play really good defense.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know right now.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Where you can put salth Stewart without him being a
defensive liability. So that's something that they're going to have
to kind of get figured out with him. It would
be nice to seeing a big bat in the outfield.
I don't know if that means shuffling guys around, but
I certainly like the way Martine looked in right field,
especially at the end of the year, and I think
(06:11):
he's going to have a really productive season next year.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
So that's interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
So Tommy, now that the Reds are out, I mean
they did they did well. They were in postseason, right
so they're out. Do you root for anybody while you're watching?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I mean we.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Have Have you tuned out or are you paying attention
to Brewers, Cubs, Blue Jay, Yankees, right Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Is there is there any second team that you.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Root for, not really.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I mean no, there's there's broadcasters. I root for the
guys around the league that I like more or that
I'm not that I like more than but I'm closer
with than other guys. Uh So sometimes I'll root for
those guys and their teams to go on and have success.
(06:57):
You know, an interesting story this year is the Brewer,
Bob Yuker passed away in the offseason. They've never won
it all, it would be it would be kind of
special if if this was the year where.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
They did it.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's that's one that you know, because of that tie in,
I think would be pretty special.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But for the most part, this this postseason, no, there's
nobody really that.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
That I will be keeping a real watchful eye on.
I'll watch the playoffs just because it's baseball and I
love baseball. Today, I'll be honest with you, I've mostly
just kind of veged on the couch and had college
football on, flipping between the games today, had the UC
game on earlier, and then I actually I turned it
off and had to go back to it when I
saw Iowa State making a little run there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But good to see, good to see, you see.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Hold on, But yeah, I'll still be dialed into the playoffs,
but just hoping.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
For some good baseball, no emotional investment. I totally understand,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Talking to Tommy throw a Voice of the Red Sterling
and dun and Die on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, you
mentioned bear Katsa thirty eight thirty winners over Iowa stateon
Big twelve Action.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't want to get too into this if it's
not something you want to talk about, but I know
that you made allusion to it, I think on the air,
which is that she said yes, and last night we
pined text back together you were going out with your fiance. Uh,
there are there seems to be a lot of wedding
bells and people looking to jump the broom and stomp
the glass and say I do in the air, whether
it's Taylor Swept and one of those Kelsey brothers, whether
(08:24):
which we'll talk to Mikeywallspace dot Com a little later,
Tom Cruise and his uh anis yes, who's like way
younger than him.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Good for him. They're gonna do it in space.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
So planning a space wedding.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So when it comes to your planning, wow, I mean,
what do you do. How do you beat that? Especially
if it doesn't work?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And she's like half half uh right, so we're not.
It's not like one of those apples to apples comparison certainly,
although maybe who knows you got red money? But what
type of like wedding? I mean, are you excited? Is
just like a long time in coming? How does one
do that? In mentioning it publicly is kind of a
weird thing too, because I'm dysfunctional everything. My longest relationship
(09:08):
is with the turtle I found in the woods when
I was eight years old, and it is not conjuble.
It's just me getting earthworms, crickets and occasionally a cicada.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Oh man, Yeah, no, we're very excited.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Shoot, it's been about two and a half years, so
now we got engaged over the All Star break.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
We travel a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We both like the Caribbean, so it's going to be
a destination leading the Caribbean this offseason. So we're excited
about it. Yeah, definitely, but no, nothing quite like space.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well, and then Taylor Swift's wedding is probably going to
be pretty big as well.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Are you a fan? Her new album came out is.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Breaking records of course, have you heard any of the
Taylor Swift record?
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Is it going to be your weddings?
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Think?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't think I could identify a Taylor Swift song
since she came out and like debuted as a country artist.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So good for them, Good for them, you know, really
really hope.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That that has some legs and it's a long, happy marriage.
But I can honestly say I don't have a whole
lot of vested.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Interest in that particular couple. So you know, whatever makes
them happy, they're good for Good for.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Them, Yeah, absolutely, Well we appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The only person that feels that way, but you.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Know, maybe there's one or two others maybe, Yeah, just
seem to be a very passionate support and love and
then also a lot of hate, So I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, you know she's doing something right. But she's
a hell of a businesswoman, that is for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A great talent. Thank you for making time for us.
We know there's no contractual obsigation. We know that you're
often enjoying some off season time before you start ratcheting
back up and starting to think about getting to the
desert again. In the land of in and out Burger
and the comple out there with the Reds and some
Winter baseball or whatever else, anything else before we let
you hop you want to leave the people thinking about
here in the Tri State and those across planet Earth
(11:09):
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Well, you know, I just think if this year doesn't
get you excited for Reds Baseball for next year, I'm
not sure what to tell you, because I know it
was an exciting year. I would expect there to be
a little more consistency next year. I think this team
cleaned up a lot of things this year that were
problems for them in the past. And I hope Red's
countries just like me and really excited to get next
(11:32):
year started. And as far as I'm concerned, spring training
can start soon enough, so it should be a fun
off season. I'm sure the front office is going to
make some exciting moves and hopefully this team is ready
to again next year. And I have no doubts they're
ready to take some steps forward again.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, you can feel it. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Congratulations again on the broom trumping. Sooner than later, Tommy
throw a voice, Thanks for making time on this Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Man, you got a sterling Thank you guys, appreciate it
so much.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Terry care yourself, Stir and Donna de coming back. A
good bit of ground to cover, but first some hooda
today with the Lions in town. How will those of
Bengals striped tigers down on the river do here? Seven
hundred WLW here we are big Saturday afternoon, Stirling Donnade
hanging out Chick Ludwig after six big football Bearcat win
(12:18):
earlier at Nipperker here on the home of those Bearcats
seven hundred w WELW thirty eight thirty over Iowa State.
And they were kind of live for a lot, but
they suffered through it and got it done. A lot
of happy people, a lot of people not so happy
right now for some reason, for good or bad. Bad
Bunny who will kick off SNL's fifty first season tonight,
(12:40):
if I'm not mistaken, live from New York and on
Channel five and wherever else you you watch those type
of things. But it's supposed to be doing the halftime show,
and one would think that he will, although there's a
lot of hate about Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl show,
So I guess the question is Donna. Yeah, should he
be playing the super Bowl? And if not him, Taylor
(13:00):
Swift or who? What is the problem?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I think I think Taylor Swift would be a better call.
I know she gets a lot of hate, but she's
got a lot of love. She just released her album
and it's just breaking records. I don't understand, Like I
think Bad Bunny has good beats and stuff like that.
He's a great artist to add to a record. He
really is, you know, like a side artist kind of
a thing. I've never read, but I mean you feel yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
He also doesn't sing in English words, I got it,
which is okay. It's fine. He has a good vibe
to him.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
But if you can't name one song from a super
Bowl artist, I don't think they should be playing the
super Bowl. I mean we've had Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Beyonce,
you know, name the biggest you know you two and
(13:56):
bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Lady God.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I mean there's been you.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
You should have a pretty good catalog if you're gonna
be asked to go to the super Bowl. The only
thing I say is that he's gonna have so many guests.
I mean, his big hit was with Cardi B. I'm
sure she's gonna join him on stage. She's gonna have
a lot of people on there.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, it's an interesting thing, And I think some of
this is related to politics and his stance on immigration
issues right now, even though he's an American effectively coming
from Puerto Rico and so forth. I think there's a
lot of that politics hate going on too, aside from
what seems glaringly obvious to me, Great, you can dance
to it, whatever else, it's sort of the do you
(14:37):
know what he's saying?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you know what he's doing?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Can you sing along?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I mean I can't sing along with his songs. I
wish I could, I can't, and I don't know him.
I mean like you can tell I can have this
in the background and it sounds good.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I love it right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It makes me like I should be riding my bike
or walking the dog.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
But should he be performing right or should should he
be performing at the super Bowl right now?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
That it's a good call.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Maybe they couldn't get anybody as big who would do
it for free. Taylor Swift doesn't need money, she doesn't
need exposer. She can do what everything she wants.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
They would get.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I mean, I can't imagine, but if Maya Carrey would
turn that down at this point, I mean, yeah, it
could be bigger.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Absolutely it could be.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
But I mean they've never done it, and I don't
think would ever do it. As much as I think
it'd be great to see.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
That would be a great you know, and coming off
Kendrick Lamart, which I thought was I thought he was
very good.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I thought the whole show was really good.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
And then you know, but I think it could be
a you know, alternate, put a little cool rock band
in there.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I mean, it would be fun.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'm going to have an unpopular take, which is not
surprising on this to a point is that a lot
of times I just want to go eat and you know,
get away from it and then go eat and come
back and go How was it.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
If you watched the halftime show? I love the halftime
show Maroon five. What did justin Timberlake was a halftime show?
Janney Jackson? I mean, you know, some of the biggest stars.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Jane had a problem. There was the whole thing that
was not throwing star. It changed everywhere. How many meetings
doing this job did we have to hold a million.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
And that's that's actually when YouTube got started, was because
so many requested to see the video.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
That's seriously, it's been hurt more by a woman's breast
than us by hers.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I mean, it was not good.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It was so overblown though. I mean seriously, I didn't
think it.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I thought it was tacky for I really I don't disagree.
One of those people that were like, can I have
you undressed it? And they said it was all wrong.
I mean, Jane Ha handled that terribly. She just did
not do it that well what you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I mean, it was kind of like an odd thing
and for them to go, oh, it was a surprise.
We didn't mean to do what it was. It was
a malfunction.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
It was Dougley playing. It was literally set it out.
I'm gonna have you undressed at the end of the song.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, that's it. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Open up the phones here five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You can give it the finger if you checking us
out on the iHeart radio app streaming basically anywhere but
North Korea and maybe Russia. On the Soviet Union former
Soviet Union, on the iHeart radio app who should be
doing the halftime show if not Bad Bunny and uh.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Are maybe you are happy with that show?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Absolutely, maybe Bad Bunny is the perfect choice for you
and what your taste is and what is going on
in the world and everything else that goes along with it.
Because the question is, you know, comes Super Bowl time,
maybe the who they could be there? I mean, look,
there are two and two right now, the Lions are
coming to town. They're three and one, two and two,
five hundred record. After starting two and oh with the
bad toe, Joe goes away and now you know you
(17:40):
got to you know, a zero and two start, you know,
at this point with Jake Browning under center. Uh maybe
maybe possibly they could still get there. If there's a miracle, well,
and then they have hope. The you gotta have hope.
You gotta have hope. So I mean, why I just
again and my first of all, I just don't care.
(18:02):
I mean, I'm not that passionate about it. I mean, great,
if it's got a beat and I can dance to it, whatever.
I mean, I'd love Metallica to do it.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It would be fantastic, would be an awesome halftime shout.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, I'm old enough to remember that, Like when
Injustice for All came out, that album, that's when all
the sudden radio embraced it, and I'm like, well, where
have you been? Finally, and now they're elder statesmen that
are doing it, you know, kids are like Metallica. That's like,
you know, that'd be like somebody talking about a band
from the fifties for us. If something do it, you know,
(18:32):
it's it's a very strange circumstance. Let's say get it
going Marcus first with Stirling and Donna, d and Lebnon
talking about Bad Bunny. If not Bad Bunny, who are
you a fan? Are you you want Taylor Swift or
anybody else?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
No, I'm not a fan of Bad Bunny, but I
think that Bad Bunny is far more relevant musically today
than Metallica or.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Mariah Carey would be.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I don't think either of those approached the level of
gaining any new viewers for the show.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
That Mariah's got a new record and it's actually pretty
good other than Christmas though, who cares well?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I would?
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I'm right, I don't think that's where America is that too.
With Mariah Carey and I wouldn't debate whether or not
the album is good, but I certainly won't listen to it.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
So okay, Well, and I appreciate the call. I appreciate it.
I do think if you brought back a classic rock
wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, but you're also talking about, like Wanning, a younger
group of a generation. Although there's a whole lot of
kids that are going back in a brace mean no,
are they still relevant?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I would say yes they are, I mean defined a genre, but.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
There could be someone in the middle right carry and
Metallic I came off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
She does more Christmas time than most bands doing a
lifetime on the road. Seriously, it just makes that record
when you can hear their money now direct a positive
to her account and Christmas hasn't even happened yet. It'd
be great to hear from some women on this as well.
Maybe Keith Urban would play the super Bowl. Well, yeah,
he's in the news. He's relevant after twenty years of
(20:08):
a marriage and stuff. And boy, that's a weird thing.
You'll be talking about relationship stuff later with Doctor West.
You're doing it a two show day here with me
and then later to not midnight. Yeah, let's get to Mainville,
Ray with Stirling and Donna die on the Big One.
What about Bad Bunny? Should he be doing the super
Bowl halftime show or is this controversy all over blown
or what?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
No, it's not overblown. Thumbs down on Bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
I would entertain almost anyone other than Bad Bunny.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What's wrong with Bad Bunny? Because you don't know the hits,
You don't know the songs, or the politics or what.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
All of the above. And I don't think the majority
of the population would relate.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
You can't sing along, I mean exactly, not that that
is the entire purpose. I'm sure he's going to put
on a very electric and wild show, and you know
I'm there. Like Mark said earlier, they're trying to get
newer fans and so he does have quite a following.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
But I just think there was a bad call. I
just appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ray, Thank you man.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Thanks who sings at the halftime show along? I'm stuffing
my face with food and beverages and a part of
the huge rush to flush, if you know what I'm saying.
That that's how halftime goes. But it's so true, it
is both, but I mean to the Bluegrass we go,
Anthony was sterling and donnade on the Big One. Are
(21:29):
your thumbs upper thumbs down for bad Bunny?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Absolutely not. Hey, I'm Latino and I don't like this guy.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
Let me tell you what, you know, you.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Could put Bruno Mars at every Super Bowl and you
it would be such a hit.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Yeah, so Bruno was would be great and he did perform.
I think you Anthony appreciate somebody.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And was on there too.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think Anthony was right. I mean, like,
you know, have a bigger you know, have at least
two or three songs that we can all know.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You think he'll do something that we do know or
like the masses.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Well, his biggest hit is with Cardi B and I
still don't remember the name of that. But yeah, I
think he'll have her out and I think he's gonna
have quite a few artists on stage with him and
explosives and fireworks and I mean he's got Yeah, I'm
sure it's gonna be a good show and he may
surprise everybody and say, all right, I think this guy's
actually pretty good.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I don't know, will they dump him because of the controversy.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I doubt that. I don't think that they're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Is there anything bigger than the Super Bowl halftime shows?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I mean McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
McDonald's still went with them loving it from justin Timberlake
and that was a bomb. No, I think this is
the biggest stage that a performer.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
They don't get paid anything for it, but how many
people see him? A billion?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
It's a ridiculous amount of people. So yeah, worldwide after this.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Let's get another call or two and five, three, seven, four,
ninety seven, eight hundred, the Big one, Sterling and Donna
de What about Bad Bunny? The super Bowl controversy? Be
it politics? Not knowing the hits, if there are hits,
if you will depending on where you are. I guess
to appoint demographically, what does the NFL want? What do
they need? And I'm still having like flashbacks to the
(23:18):
whole Nipplegate thing We're going a while back. I mean, seriously,
I had probably five or six different meetings I had
to sit through at dolls and continue, by the way,
years later, about things you can and can't do is
like my shirt off right now, and had a Chinese
throwing star on my left or right nipple.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
No one would care other than Donna. She might run
in fear and loathing.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Maybe it's my own personal loathing to Mainville again with
Ben hanging out with Sterling and Donadee on a Saturday afternoon,
What do you have?
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
All right?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So definitely no go on, bad Bunny.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
I mean, you know, the Spanish saying and the fact
that you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Know he dresses like a woman's kind of weird for me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But uh, I.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Kind of like the whole Snoop Dog and Chris Stapleton
thing they do on Thursday night football and and and
in general, why not a country montage maybe some Zac
Brown Band and Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood and just
the whole compilation of of of you know, modern country
Morgan Wallen.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
And you know Chris Stapleton that one year I think
it was years So yeah, thanks Ben, He's saying the
national anthem, and I told you how good he was
going to be. It was one of the greatest performances
with Chris Stapleton. And I don't think that that's a
bad idea. I think we should have different kinds of genres.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I gotta say. And this may not be popular, but
I love the guy. Jamie Johnson may not be great
for the super Bowl, but I would love to see
Jamie Johnson as you know who that is?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Who is that?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I don't have the time or the words right now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Joe Zach Others room for you, Sterling, don and d
coming back. If not Bad Bunny Who for the halftime?
I don't mean the band who, but why not the who?
They're saying goodbye for the EMPTI time two hundred and
twenty two years old and still making good music. But
if not Bad Bunny Whom? And if you don't like
Bad Bunny why? Saturday afternoon five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
(25:10):
eight hundred the Big One. Sterling Donnade coming up, Mike
Dwallspace dot com. We'll talk Jump in the broom saying
I do. Can you jump a broom and stomp a
glass in space?
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I do? If you can, Tom Cruise will be able
to do it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's probably too jump to broom for sure, Yeah, you
could do that, stomp the glass. I mean, you don't
want to look at an injury in space?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Sew up your foot seven hundred, WLW, Sterling and Donnadee
hanging out Saturday afternoon. Winning day for football bear caast
thirty eight thirty over a ranked Iowa State team. It
was unbeaten until they came into Nippurton home. They go, well,
it's a big l Tomorrow Bengals look to get a
win and bounce back with Browning under center after Joe's
(25:52):
toe issue with the Detroit Lions in town. You'll hear
that here on seven hundred WLW been talking about Bad
Bunny the halftime show at the super Bowl, and a
lot of uh, disgruntled of people, uh not a hip
to the idea Bad Bunny doing it either, don't know
the music, don't like the music, don't know the hits
if there are hits at all, and then then maybe
(26:13):
a little politics playing into it with the issue of immigration.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I suppose, right, Yeah, well, it's not political in any way,
shape or form for me. I just think, and we've
been talking about this, that if somebody plays the super
Bowl halftime show, you should know at least two or
three of their records and one I can't name one
Bad Bunny song, and he's usually like an ad in
(26:36):
for a bigger artist. You know, he does a lot
of those guest appearances and so so for me, that's
not super Bowl worthy. But surprise, well, I would I.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Would put Bruno Mars in there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I would put you know, maybe not Mariah Carey because
she's getting a little bit old and she can't do
it on stage anymore. I mean, she's got a good
new record out, so she is relev We talked about her.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But there's a ton of artists, for sure that can
do it. You know, absolutely, let's tix more costs. What
other people think to Moscow, Ohio not Russia, Well, I
mean they could call. I mean, if they could listen,
I don't know. Zach was Sterling and Donnadee on the
Big One.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Hey man, what do you think?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I'm a betting man, And I'm shocked that it was
in Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yes, that's my choice for it.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
But she is getting married, so she's she's she made
a statement and said I'm tired, and she toured all
it was like the biggest tour of the year and
now she's engaged to you know, one of the brothers, Kelsey.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Do you ever think about it? This weekend she released
her new album.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
I think you're absolutely right, Zach.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
What would be a giant thing for her to be
playing the super Bowl this year?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Thanks, Jach.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I mean you're right on it. I mean, she doesn't
need the help. It's not benefiting. I mean, she could
make more money. She could sell more records or a
stream more. I suppose possibly, Well, she have already a
billion streams.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's a breaking record, so, I mean the Spotify record,
it's breaking every Spotify record.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I mean, and I've listened to probably four songs, and
they're very good. They are so good.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She held that door open when talent was given out.
I mean as a business person and taking care of
her team, the people driving trucks for that huge production
and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
He pays them, well, she takes care of them the road.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
I mean, yeah, she's an overall good person and I
think that's probably why she's had the success that she's had.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I know, Sterling, if.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I could just pick some music, just let's get to
Joe and Batavia with Sterling and Dunnady, what about Bad Bunny?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Should he go?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Will he do the halftime show or will they punt
because of all this hubbum?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Well, I'll tell you what, guys, I don't really know.
I think Roger Goodell really fumbled on this one.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Go ahead, Yeah, both were like, I think it was
a good ball analogy though fumbled.
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Let me press this by saying this though I have not,
will not cannot ever afford a super Bowl ticket, so
unfortunately I will not be there in person this year.
And also I do have a remote control with fresh batters.
I guess I could change the channel if I wanted to,
but just really grabs my gears. I mean, Roger Goodell,
I don't even know what's going on here. I think
(29:22):
the perfect line up. This is how I would do it. Okay,
I would do Lee Greenwood, Star Stangled Banner. I would
do a coin flip. We ain't even talking about coin
flip yet. Dean King, that's Superman right there. That's Superman.
He's fighting for us, he's getting rid of these legal
Superman would would be awesome for the coin flip. Now,
mute halftime. I think I definitely think it should be
(29:46):
uh kid rock, you know, kid Rock. Maybe do a
little collaboration with Ted Nudget, Maybe do a solo, you
know what I mean. And I think it really brings
this country together. I don't know what we all.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Think we I don't like Ted Nus and I never
have liked him and great it was crazy. I'm just
the same and music wise, I've never been a fan
of Ted News.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I mean, there's so much for I mean, I asked
Anny about issues with going away for doing anything things
and you know what, there was a time when apparently
everybody seemed okay with that weird six stuff to.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Know, and nobody's ever okay, not a lot of people.
Is Joe still okay? Because I wanted to see if
he thought Keith Urban could have done it?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, well, there's just no time.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Sandy Collins has news the latest on this this horrible
circumstance with the former quarterback in the NFL, Mark Sanchez,
who's in Indianapolis to call that game, who's hospitalized after
being stabbed.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That and more was Stirling and Donna d coming back
mike ywallspace dot com. We'll talk getting married in space
and more before chick Ludwig steps here, uh and to
do with what he does uh in a bit, and
then Donna comes back later tonight while I listen and.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I listened to relationship stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, trying to get my life right seven hundred doule
Well w and stomp a glass and say I do
way up there with no gravity?
Speaker 10 (31:14):
I guess you can. I mean I'd probably be safer
just to kind of smash it with your hand. I mean,
if you have like a cloth napkin over it or something.
I mean you want to be stomping on stuff up there.
There's a lot of sense of.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Equipments of blood and stuff not good.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
Yeah, I haven't heard of anybody else getting yet getting
married in space. That's probably a first.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Very cool, so there's something to look forward to. I
guess if you have Tom Cruise money and you are,
like Donna just said off the year, he's Tom Cruise,
meaning I guess he can do anything.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Well, no, he was like, well, we would think Jeff
Bezos would do something like that before Tom Cruise. But
Tom Cruise is, you know, an adrenaline junkie. He flies
motorcycles off cliffs and has a parachute, So why wouldn't
he go to space? I was, I mean, it's crazy
that you know this woman who was a great actress.
She was in a very good movie with Ben Affleck
called deep Water. It was really good and a dearmis
(32:06):
twenty six years younger than Tom Cruise.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know, how do you marry?
Speaker 6 (32:10):
We're talking with Mike to wall about this, but how
do you marry such adventurous It would be exhausting in
my book, I mean, how do you do that?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Would you ever get married in space or remarried or remarried?
Speaker 10 (32:25):
I don't think so, Like, I don't know. I mean,
I I just I'm more of a simple person with
simple taste, and I don't have Tom Cruise's energy, so
I think, I, yeah, that's that's a little too much
for me.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
He isn't exhausting. Actually think about it.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Here's something I always pepper you with all these questions,
like about what's going on? So before we go further,
and I know Donna has other stuff to ask you,
I'm curious about what jumps out at you since we've
last spoken. Stuff that's monumental that matters in space news,
perhaps even budget issues with what's going on with the
shutdown and how that affects NASA in the future of
spaced off.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yeah, that's really depressing, you know, I mean with with
the shut down, you know, NASA has actually furloughed fifteen
thousand employees out of about eighteen thousand an agency.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
So it's the same story with a lot of different agencies.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
You know, a lot of people are going without paychecks,
and that means a lot of like a lot of
work is also not being done. You know, a lot
of science is not being done. And there's a lot
of collateral damage from this, you know, like the Juno
Jupiter orbiter, which has been yeah, been orbiting Jupiter and
studying it for years now apparently might be on the
chopping block or might be on its last legs, and
(33:35):
not just because of the shutdown, but that that hasn't helped.
It's just yeah, it's just depressing. It's it's like a
lot of things in the country, like things things are
just like yeah, not like working necessarily how they should
and it yeah, has ripple effects all the way across everything.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I guess, Unlike others who have a choice to either
show up to work or not whether they're getting paid
or not. In this case on Tarra Firma and in
the space and the space station situation, they're not getting paid,
but they can't like just walk away from the gig.
So they're just going to go on as business as
usual and their family will get their money, I guess
whenever they get it right.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Yeah, there are certain there are certain activities that are
exempt from the shutdown stuff, Like, yeah, if you're an
astronaut of Space Station, obviously you you bill need stay
up there. You're not going to just like like jump
out and come back down to Earth. Like you're a
work in mission control in Houston, and to support the
Space station astronauts, you know you you are continuing to
(34:31):
work because that's viewed as Yeah, obviously mission critical people's
lives are at stake. And they exempted a few other
things too, you know, like the Artemist program that like
trying to get get people back to the Moon. All
the planning.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And development will.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
Work for the Artemist program is continuing more or less
on the same schedule, and that's they're trying to hit
like a pretty ambitious launch schedule for the second Artist
mission Artists Too, which is supposed to launch this spring
and send four people around the Moon and back, not yea,
not to land, but to do kind of like a
like a loop around the Moon mission and come back
(35:05):
to Earth. All the people are the vast majority of
the people working on keeping that on schedule are still working,
still coming into work. So there are a few things that, yeah,
that are deemed like mission critical to NASA and to
the country, and those are still continuing.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
And so you know, I always ask you an Elon
Musk question, Mike. So he's got he's got the SpaceX
launch coming up October thirteenth, How how is that looking?
And is that going to be you know, tell me
about why he's doing. This is going to be his
eleventh I think the eleventh launch from from from SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Yeah, the eleventh flight test.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Are they getting closer and closer to you know, landing
on the moon on Mars?
Speaker 10 (35:48):
I mean, well, yeah, this is it's going to be
the eleventh. Yeah, it's the eleventh test flight of Starship,
which is there the big Mars rocket. You know, Elon's
always said he founded SpaceX a long time ago to
help humanity colonize Mars. That's like the main deal, that's
the main driving force for most of the stuff that
he's doing with SpaceX, and this this is the rocket
(36:09):
that he thinks can make that happen. And it's also
like the rocket that actually NASA has chosen to help
astnauts land on the Moon with Artemiss three mission, which
hopefully launches in twenty twenty seven. So there's a lot
there are a lot of reasons to like root for
this thing to work. You know, NASA is definitely rooting
for it to work. They have a lot investment in it.
And yeah, it's like the tenth test flight was August
(36:31):
twenty sixth and it actually it like went well, and
that broke a streak of like three straight test flights
where the upper stage of Starship didn't survive. It was
supposed to land in the come down off the coast
of Western Australia and it didn't make it that far.
You know, it broke apart three straight flights in a row.
But flight ten worked really well. So I'm sure that
(36:51):
gives SpaceX like a lot of reasons for optimism. And
they're gonna they're going to try to match that again
on flight eleven, which yet, like as you mentioned in
October thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
So they did when SpaceX did win seven hundred and
fourteen million dollars from the Pentagon, And so they think
this is the best shot to get to Mars. Is
that why they're putting this money behind it?
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Well, I yeah, Like I think that the Pentagon has
other ambitions for Starship. You know, they don't care that
much about colonizing Mars. I think what they see what
they see with Starship is a chance to are a
real opportunity to launch lots of cargo like around the
Earth very quickly and have that land.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I mean, you can.
Speaker 10 (37:33):
Launch a ton of stuff in Starship. It's really really big.
You can imagine all the things that the military might
want to launch and get to a place really fast.
So I think they see it as like points to
point transportation here on Earth. Wowy lost, but like some
tanks or a bunch of missiles, there something you can
put it can load that all up in the starship,
which is gigantic, and it could be on the other
(37:54):
side of the world in like ninety minutes, you know,
And that's that's so are There are a lot of
companies that are thinking about stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
There are a lot of militaries around the world.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
That are thinking about stuff like that, like what can
we do with space launch that's not just in space,
but can help us do stuff here on Earth.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
So ninety minutes around planet on Earth, and I can't
get a pizza to my house in less than an hour,
and so I got to go pick it up.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
It's the first time I've heard anybody talk about that
of were why are we all in space? Well that
makes sense to be able to move things quicker around
this planet.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
That is crazy, real quicker.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Before we let you bounce, Mightywallspace dot Com with Stirling
and Donnade on the Big One. This is I look
at the Moon all the time. Don't look at the
Sun directly anyway, but the moon is fine. International observe
the moon. Night is tonight. I don't what's different about
tonight than any other night before we let you go.
Speaker 10 (38:51):
I don't think the moon will look any different. But
it's just a way to kind of raise awareness about
the Moon. I think most people know that it exists,
but like just to it's it's sort of I mean
kind of ticket for granted, and it's just so it's
like it's the Moon. It's up there. But there are
a lot of scientists who are very investments studying it.
You know what I can teach us about sources some history,
and now that we're trying to get people back there
(39:13):
for the first time since the Apollo days, you know,
there's a lot of interesting stuff, both in terms of
science and exploration, and it's just like it's just one
of those things that people who care about like astronomy
and space science do to try to convince other people
to care a little bit and to look up and
to maybe, yeah, just just kind of think a little
beyond themselves observes a wonder.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
I mean, Mike, I went out onto my back deck
the other night and literally there were so many stars
and I just sat in my on my chair and
looked up into the sky and it was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I love the reminder. I love it it is.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
It's pretty.
Speaker 10 (39:49):
And each each one of those stars, you know, each
one of those probably has at least one planet, and
you just don't.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Know what those worlds are like.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
It's it is really crazy now that we're learning so
much about extraplanets that the yeah, seeing all these stars
in the sky, it takes on like a new meeting
because they're all pretty much all solar systems, just like
our solar system, and they many a lot of these
stars probably have Rocky planets and some of them might
have water. Yeah, it's just it does put things into
perspective more now that we know a lot about them.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
For tiny, little insignificant like sands in the hour glass,
it's unbelievable. Mike y Wall, it's always great to talk
to you for bringing a space to life and it's
relevance to us here on Taro firmat space dot com.
The website always great reading, a fantastic resource and a
bunch of really really big brain people making things easily understandable,
(40:35):
which I need help as much as I can get
on that. Thanks Mike, take care of yourself. Enjoy the
rest of your weekend you too.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
He's Mike d Wall Sterling and Donna Dee. You're back
tonight after Chick. He follows us, and then you're gonna
talk relationship with doctor West.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Check is next A good show to great calls and
straight away from Brendan Jones talking baseball playoff season sands
the Reds win for the football Bearcats Bengals in action
tomorrow there's a lot on a play on a great
weekend to be here in Cincinnati, on the home of
the Hooday and the Bearcats in Stirling and Donnade, seven
hundred WLW, Cincinnati,
It's Sterling and Donade back Saturday afternoon, winning football bear
Cats earlier you're hurt it here on the Home of

Cyclones going back home to Iowa losers now five and one,
bear Cats adding another w and later on mikeywallspace dot com.
Going to join us right now on the line, because
(00:22):
maybe we're just juggling kind enough to give us some
time his off season, his time to run freely, to enjoy,
you know, riverboats along the riverbanks of the Ohio and
down by the Great American Ballpark. Tommy Thrall back with
Sterling and Donnade.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
How are you? How's everything?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Hey? You know what I'm doing? Well?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I've I think I'm back on schedule from the West coast.
So of course, what's the schedule this time of year.
I guess I could sleep till noon and it makes
no difference.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But no, everything's good.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's why you're my hero.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't want to dwell on what was sort of
a deflating, sad circumstance with not going beyond the wildcard matchup.
I think a lot of people, you know, it's in
that transitional mode of trying to think what next off
season acquisitions changes to bring more offense and all the
other stuff. But thinking about that in your experience in
(01:14):
the booth, which, by the way, what a joy to
listen to. You paint the picture wherever you are of
what's going on driving around two seventy five aimlessly as
I do too much and everything else. Whether you're working
with the Cowboy or Chris Welsh or during that first
game of the Wildcard Series with both those guys in there,
what a blast.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'm really really fortunate that
I get to work with such talented individuals. We're all
close friends, whether it's those two guys or Jim Day.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Or Sam Luckier that's in there.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I mean, it's really a treat to get to work
with everybody that I have the privilege working with. So
it was certainly a fun year in the booth, and yeah,
an entertaining year on the field as well. So it's
an exciting young group and the corp is certainly in
place to I think, have some long term success here.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's what we hope in without being too hateful about it.
What seemingly started in the beginning of the season and
lasted all season. Was the inconsistent consistency of a mnemic
offensive output. So, I mean, there'll be some gross south
Stuart obviously came up. He made an impact for a
(02:27):
kid who's like eight years old or something. It's unbelievable.
My neighbor by the way, was so devastated that he
ditched the stash. She's like, you got to talk to him.
I'm like, I don't know the kid. I mean, I'm
a fan, but I love the stash. I'm like, all right,
all right, but are you gonna go out and you
think and find another bat to try to to, you know,
(02:47):
to add to some more run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Scoring or what I think.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
So, I think the defense is another thing that I
think still needs a little work.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You'd like to see how he take a huge step.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Forward at shortstop, especially if he's going to be your
answer at shortstop every day. Uh, he's got to be
a little more consistent there. I think from an offensive
standpoint that that was a that was a huge void
in this Red lineup. I thought for for a couple
of months with with him just not I mean and
(03:19):
and consider this, I mean, as much as Ellie struggled,
he was still a guy that was an above average
player even while he was down. So uh, that's that
just kind of gives you an idea of just how
good he can do. We already know how good he
can be, but I think the ceiling is still there.
I think the potential is still there. I think that
(03:40):
he's the type of player offensively that, like we saw
this year, even when he's not necessarily the superstar Ellie,
he's still going to do little things that are going
to help you have a chance to win.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The other big.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Void for this team this year was Matt mcquain. So
the big question there is, all right, you cut date
with mc pane and move on and find something else
to play second base and maybe trade him or something
like that. I don't think personally that that's the answer.
I truly believe.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That he is still going to be a very.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
That talked with Lance about it when the team was
in Arizona down the stretch. That look last year, in
going into the offseason and during the offseason, I really
didn't expect for mcclaim to.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Have a very good year this year. He missed the
whole season.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
This is going to be a second big league year.
In essence, that's a year where a lot of guys
struggled to begin with. Not only that, but it's it's
also his second big league year after missing an entire season,
So I wasn't really surprised that he struggled the way
he did. Now what did surprise me a little bit
was that it was as sustained as it was. I
(04:46):
thought he would kind of take his lumps here and
there and then really take off it at some point
late in the year, and it just never really came
together for him on a consistent basis. So that was
one of the things that really surprised me. If you
get those two guys playing up to the potential.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
But I think if one goes, the other one goes too.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Just because in a perfect world, those guys are hitting
together in this red lineup. So when you factor that in,
getting those guys going would make a huge difference in
this lineup, then you have salth Stewart's back. Now again,
this next year is basically going to be his first year.
I don't think you can count on a first year
(05:27):
player to be a huge contributor to your offense. But
if you don't have to rely on him and you
don't have to hit him up in the order, then
maybe he can be a pretty big contributor, just because
we've seen the potential. But he's got to fit in
somewhere defensively. I mean, this is a team that can't
give away outs on the defensive side, They're still going
to have to play really good defense.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know right now.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Where you can put salth Stewart without him being a
defensive liability. So that's something that they're going to have
to kind of get figured out with him. It would
be nice to seeing a big bat in the outfield.
I don't know if that means shuffling guys around, but
I certainly like the way Martine looked in right field,
especially at the end of the year, and I think
(06:11):
he's going to have a really productive season next year.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
So that's interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
So Tommy, now that the Reds are out, I mean
they did they did well. They were in postseason, right
so they're out. Do you root for anybody while you're watching?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I mean we.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Have Have you tuned out or are you paying attention
to Brewers, Cubs, Blue Jay, Yankees, right Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Is there is there any second team that you.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Root for, not really.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I mean no, there's there's broadcasters. I root for the
guys around the league that I like more or that
I'm not that I like more than but I'm closer
with than other guys. Uh So sometimes I'll root for
those guys and their teams to go on and have success.
(06:57):
You know, an interesting story this year is the Brewer,
Bob Yuker passed away in the offseason. They've never won
it all, it would be it would be kind of
special if if this was the year where.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
They did it.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's that's one that you know, because of that tie in,
I think would be pretty special.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But for the most part, this this postseason, no, there's
nobody really that.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
That I will be keeping a real watchful eye on.
I'll watch the playoffs just because it's baseball and I
love baseball. Today, I'll be honest with you, I've mostly
just kind of veged on the couch and had college
football on, flipping between the games today, had the UC
game on earlier, and then I actually I turned it
off and had to go back to it when I
saw Iowa State making a little run there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But good to see, good to see, you see.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Hold on, But yeah, I'll still be dialed into the playoffs,
but just hoping.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
For some good baseball, no emotional investment. I totally understand,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Talking to Tommy throw a Voice of the Red Sterling
and dun and Die on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, you
mentioned bear Katsa thirty eight thirty winners over Iowa stateon
Big twelve Action.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I don't want to get too into this if it's
not something you want to talk about, but I know
that you made allusion to it, I think on the air,
which is that she said yes, and last night we
pined text back together you were going out with your fiance. Uh,
there are there seems to be a lot of wedding
bells and people looking to jump the broom and stomp
the glass and say I do in the air, whether
it's Taylor Swept and one of those Kelsey brothers, whether
(08:24):
which we'll talk to Mikeywallspace dot Com a little later,
Tom Cruise and his uh anis yes, who's like way
younger than him.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Good for him. They're gonna do it in space.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
So planning a space wedding.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So when it comes to your planning, wow, I mean,
what do you do. How do you beat that? Especially
if it doesn't work?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And she's like half half uh right, so we're not.
It's not like one of those apples to apples comparison certainly,
although maybe who knows you got red money? But what
type of like wedding? I mean, are you excited? Is
just like a long time in coming? How does one
do that? In mentioning it publicly is kind of a
weird thing too, because I'm dysfunctional everything. My longest relationship
(09:08):
is with the turtle I found in the woods when
I was eight years old, and it is not conjuble.
It's just me getting earthworms, crickets and occasionally a cicada.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Oh man, Yeah, no, we're very excited.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Shoot, it's been about two and a half years, so
now we got engaged over the All Star break.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
We travel a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We both like the Caribbean, so it's going to be
a destination leading the Caribbean this offseason. So we're excited
about it. Yeah, definitely, but no, nothing quite like space.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well, and then Taylor Swift's wedding is probably going to
be pretty big as well.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Are you a fan? Her new album came out is.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Breaking records of course, have you heard any of the
Taylor Swift record?
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Is it going to be your weddings?
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Think?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't think I could identify a Taylor Swift song
since she came out and like debuted as a country artist.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So good for them, Good for them, you know, really
really hope.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That that has some legs and it's a long, happy marriage.
But I can honestly say I don't have a whole
lot of vested.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Interest in that particular couple. So you know, whatever makes
them happy, they're good for Good for.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Them, Yeah, absolutely, Well we appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The only person that feels that way, but you.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Know, maybe there's one or two others maybe, Yeah, just
seem to be a very passionate support and love and
then also a lot of hate, So I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, you know she's doing something right. But she's
a hell of a businesswoman, that is for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A great talent. Thank you for making time for us.
We know there's no contractual obsigation. We know that you're
often enjoying some off season time before you start ratcheting
back up and starting to think about getting to the
desert again. In the land of in and out Burger
and the comple out there with the Reds and some
Winter baseball or whatever else, anything else before we let
you hop you want to leave the people thinking about
here in the Tri State and those across planet Earth
(11:09):
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Well, you know, I just think if this year doesn't
get you excited for Reds Baseball for next year, I'm
not sure what to tell you, because I know it
was an exciting year. I would expect there to be
a little more consistency next year. I think this team
cleaned up a lot of things this year that were
problems for them in the past. And I hope Red's
countries just like me and really excited to get next
(11:32):
year started. And as far as I'm concerned, spring training
can start soon enough, so it should be a fun
off season. I'm sure the front office is going to
make some exciting moves and hopefully this team is ready
to again next year. And I have no doubts they're
ready to take some steps forward again.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, you can feel it. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Congratulations again on the broom trumping. Sooner than later, Tommy
throw a voice, Thanks for making time on this Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Man, you got a sterling Thank you guys, appreciate it
so much.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Terry care yourself, Stir and Donna de coming back. A
good bit of ground to cover, but first some hooda
today with the Lions in town. How will those of
Bengals striped tigers down on the river do here? Seven
hundred WLW here we are big Saturday afternoon, Stirling Donnade
hanging out Chick Ludwig after six big football Bearcat win
(12:18):
earlier at Nipperker here on the home of those Bearcats
seven hundred w WELW thirty eight thirty over Iowa State.
And they were kind of live for a lot, but
they suffered through it and got it done. A lot
of happy people, a lot of people not so happy
right now for some reason, for good or bad. Bad
Bunny who will kick off SNL's fifty first season tonight,
(12:40):
if I'm not mistaken, live from New York and on
Channel five and wherever else you you watch those type
of things. But it's supposed to be doing the halftime show,
and one would think that he will, although there's a
lot of hate about Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl show,
So I guess the question is Donna. Yeah, should he
be playing the super Bowl? And if not him, Taylor
(13:00):
Swift or who? What is the problem?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I think I think Taylor Swift would be a better call.
I know she gets a lot of hate, but she's
got a lot of love. She just released her album
and it's just breaking records. I don't understand, Like I
think Bad Bunny has good beats and stuff like that.
He's a great artist to add to a record. He
really is, you know, like a side artist kind of
a thing. I've never read, but I mean you feel yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
He also doesn't sing in English words, I got it,
which is okay. It's fine. He has a good vibe
to him.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
But if you can't name one song from a super
Bowl artist, I don't think they should be playing the
super Bowl. I mean we've had Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Beyonce,
you know, name the biggest you know you two and
(13:56):
bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Lady God.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I mean there's been you.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
You should have a pretty good catalog if you're gonna
be asked to go to the super Bowl. The only
thing I say is that he's gonna have so many guests.
I mean, his big hit was with Cardi B. I'm
sure she's gonna join him on stage. She's gonna have
a lot of people on there.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, it's an interesting thing, And I think some of
this is related to politics and his stance on immigration
issues right now, even though he's an American effectively coming
from Puerto Rico and so forth. I think there's a
lot of that politics hate going on too, aside from
what seems glaringly obvious to me, Great, you can dance
to it, whatever else, it's sort of the do you
(14:37):
know what he's saying?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you know what he's doing?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Can you sing along?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I mean I can't sing along with his songs. I
wish I could, I can't, and I don't know him.
I mean like you can tell I can have this
in the background and it sounds good.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I love it right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It makes me like I should be riding my bike
or walking the dog.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
But should he be performing right or should should he
be performing at the super Bowl right now?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
That it's a good call.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Maybe they couldn't get anybody as big who would do
it for free. Taylor Swift doesn't need money, she doesn't
need exposer. She can do what everything she wants.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
They would get.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I mean, I can't imagine, but if Maya Carrey would
turn that down at this point, I mean, yeah, it
could be bigger.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Absolutely it could be.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
But I mean they've never done it, and I don't
think would ever do it. As much as I think
it'd be great to see.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
That would be a great you know, and coming off
Kendrick Lamart, which I thought was I thought he was
very good.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I thought the whole show was really good.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
And then you know, but I think it could be
a you know, alternate, put a little cool rock band
in there.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I mean, it would be fun.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'm going to have an unpopular take, which is not
surprising on this to a point is that a lot
of times I just want to go eat and you know,
get away from it and then go eat and come
back and go How was it.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
If you watched the halftime show? I love the halftime
show Maroon five. What did justin Timberlake was a halftime show?
Janney Jackson? I mean, you know, some of the biggest stars.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Jane had a problem. There was the whole thing that
was not throwing star. It changed everywhere. How many meetings
doing this job did we have to hold a million.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
And that's that's actually when YouTube got started, was because
so many requested to see the video.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
That's seriously, it's been hurt more by a woman's breast
than us by hers.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I mean, it was not good.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It was so overblown though. I mean seriously, I didn't
think it.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I thought it was tacky for I really I don't disagree.
One of those people that were like, can I have
you undressed it? And they said it was all wrong.
I mean, Jane Ha handled that terribly. She just did
not do it that well what you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I mean, it was kind of like an odd thing
and for them to go, oh, it was a surprise.
We didn't mean to do what it was. It was
a malfunction.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
It was Dougley playing. It was literally set it out.
I'm gonna have you undressed at the end of the song.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, that's it. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Open up the phones here five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You can give it the finger if you checking us
out on the iHeart radio app streaming basically anywhere but
North Korea and maybe Russia. On the Soviet Union former
Soviet Union, on the iHeart radio app who should be
doing the halftime show if not Bad Bunny and uh.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Are maybe you are happy with that show?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Absolutely, maybe Bad Bunny is the perfect choice for you
and what your taste is and what is going on
in the world and everything else that goes along with it.
Because the question is, you know, comes Super Bowl time,
maybe the who they could be there? I mean, look,
there are two and two right now, the Lions are
coming to town. They're three and one, two and two,
five hundred record. After starting two and oh with the
bad toe, Joe goes away and now you know you
(17:40):
got to you know, a zero and two start, you know,
at this point with Jake Browning under center. Uh maybe
maybe possibly they could still get there. If there's a miracle, well,
and then they have hope. The you gotta have hope.
You gotta have hope. So I mean, why I just
again and my first of all, I just don't care.
(18:02):
I mean, I'm not that passionate about it. I mean, great,
if it's got a beat and I can dance to it, whatever.
I mean, I'd love Metallica to do it.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
It would be fantastic, would be an awesome halftime shout.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, I'm old enough to remember that, Like when
Injustice for All came out, that album, that's when all
the sudden radio embraced it, and I'm like, well, where
have you been? Finally, and now they're elder statesmen that
are doing it, you know, kids are like Metallica. That's like,
you know, that'd be like somebody talking about a band
from the fifties for us. If something do it, you know,
(18:32):
it's it's a very strange circumstance. Let's say get it
going Marcus first with Stirling and Donna, d and Lebnon
talking about Bad Bunny. If not Bad Bunny, who are
you a fan? Are you you want Taylor Swift or
anybody else?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
No, I'm not a fan of Bad Bunny, but I
think that Bad Bunny is far more relevant musically today
than Metallica or.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Mariah Carey would be.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I don't think either of those approached the level of
gaining any new viewers for the show.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
That Mariah's got a new record and it's actually pretty
good other than Christmas though, who cares well?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I would?
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I'm right, I don't think that's where America is that too.
With Mariah Carey and I wouldn't debate whether or not
the album is good, but I certainly won't listen to it.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
So okay, Well, and I appreciate the call. I appreciate it.
I do think if you brought back a classic rock
wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, but you're also talking about, like Wanning, a younger
group of a generation. Although there's a whole lot of
kids that are going back in a brace mean no,
are they still relevant?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I would say yes they are, I mean defined a genre, but.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
There could be someone in the middle right carry and
Metallic I came off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
She does more Christmas time than most bands doing a
lifetime on the road. Seriously, it just makes that record
when you can hear their money now direct a positive
to her account and Christmas hasn't even happened yet. It'd
be great to hear from some women on this as well.
Maybe Keith Urban would play the super Bowl. Well, yeah,
he's in the news. He's relevant after twenty years of
(20:08):
a marriage and stuff. And boy, that's a weird thing.
You'll be talking about relationship stuff later with Doctor West.
You're doing it a two show day here with me
and then later to not midnight. Yeah, let's get to Mainville,
Ray with Stirling and Donna die on the Big One.
What about Bad Bunny? Should he be doing the super
Bowl halftime show or is this controversy all over blown
or what?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
No, it's not overblown. Thumbs down on Bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
I would entertain almost anyone other than Bad Bunny.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What's wrong with Bad Bunny? Because you don't know the hits,
You don't know the songs, or the politics or what.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
All of the above. And I don't think the majority
of the population would relate.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
You can't sing along, I mean exactly, not that that
is the entire purpose. I'm sure he's going to put
on a very electric and wild show, and you know
I'm there. Like Mark said earlier, they're trying to get
newer fans and so he does have quite a following.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
But I just think there was a bad call. I
just appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ray, Thank you man.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Thanks who sings at the halftime show along? I'm stuffing
my face with food and beverages and a part of
the huge rush to flush, if you know what I'm saying.
That that's how halftime goes. But it's so true, it
is both, but I mean to the Bluegrass we go,
Anthony was sterling and donnade on the Big One. Are
(21:29):
your thumbs upper thumbs down for bad Bunny?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Absolutely not. Hey, I'm Latino and I don't like this guy.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
Let me tell you what, you know, you.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Could put Bruno Mars at every Super Bowl and you
it would be such a hit.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Yeah, so Bruno was would be great and he did perform.
I think you Anthony appreciate somebody.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And was on there too.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think Anthony was right. I mean, like,
you know, have a bigger you know, have at least
two or three songs that we can all know.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You think he'll do something that we do know or
like the masses.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Well, his biggest hit is with Cardi B and I
still don't remember the name of that. But yeah, I
think he'll have her out and I think he's gonna
have quite a few artists on stage with him and
explosives and fireworks and I mean he's got Yeah, I'm
sure it's gonna be a good show and he may
surprise everybody and say, all right, I think this guy's
actually pretty good.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I don't know, will they dump him because of the controversy.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I doubt that. I don't think that they're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Is there anything bigger than the Super Bowl halftime shows?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I mean McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
McDonald's still went with them loving it from justin Timberlake
and that was a bomb. No, I think this is
the biggest stage that a performer.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
They don't get paid anything for it, but how many
people see him? A billion?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
It's a ridiculous amount of people. So yeah, worldwide after this.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Let's get another call or two and five, three, seven, four,
ninety seven, eight hundred, the Big one, Sterling and Donna
de What about Bad Bunny? The super Bowl controversy? Be
it politics? Not knowing the hits, if there are hits,
if you will depending on where you are. I guess
to appoint demographically, what does the NFL want? What do
they need? And I'm still having like flashbacks to the
(23:18):
whole Nipplegate thing We're going a while back. I mean, seriously,
I had probably five or six different meetings I had
to sit through at dolls and continue, by the way,
years later, about things you can and can't do is
like my shirt off right now, and had a Chinese
throwing star on my left or right nipple.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
No one would care other than Donna. She might run
in fear and loathing.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Maybe it's my own personal loathing to Mainville again with
Ben hanging out with Sterling and Donadee on a Saturday afternoon,
What do you have?
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
All right?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So definitely no go on, bad Bunny.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
I mean, you know, the Spanish saying and the fact
that you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Know he dresses like a woman's kind of weird for me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But uh, I.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Kind of like the whole Snoop Dog and Chris Stapleton
thing they do on Thursday night football and and and
in general, why not a country montage maybe some Zac
Brown Band and Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood and just
the whole compilation of of of you know, modern country
Morgan Wallen.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
And you know Chris Stapleton that one year I think
it was years So yeah, thanks Ben, He's saying the
national anthem, and I told you how good he was
going to be. It was one of the greatest performances
with Chris Stapleton. And I don't think that that's a
bad idea. I think we should have different kinds of genres.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I gotta say. And this may not be popular, but
I love the guy. Jamie Johnson may not be great
for the super Bowl, but I would love to see
Jamie Johnson as you know who that is?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Who is that?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I don't have the time or the words right now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Joe Zach Others room for you, Sterling, don and d
coming back. If not Bad Bunny Who for the halftime?
I don't mean the band who, but why not the who?
They're saying goodbye for the EMPTI time two hundred and
twenty two years old and still making good music. But
if not Bad Bunny Whom? And if you don't like
Bad Bunny why? Saturday afternoon five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
(25:10):
eight hundred the Big One. Sterling Donnade coming up, Mike
Dwallspace dot com. We'll talk Jump in the broom saying
I do. Can you jump a broom and stomp a
glass in space?
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I do? If you can, Tom Cruise will be able
to do it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's probably too jump to broom for sure, Yeah, you
could do that, stomp the glass. I mean, you don't
want to look at an injury in space?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Sew up your foot seven hundred, WLW, Sterling and Donnadee
hanging out Saturday afternoon. Winning day for football bear caast
thirty eight thirty over a ranked Iowa State team. It
was unbeaten until they came into Nippurton home. They go, well,
it's a big l Tomorrow Bengals look to get a
win and bounce back with Browning under center after Joe's
(25:52):
toe issue with the Detroit Lions in town. You'll hear
that here on seven hundred WLW been talking about Bad
Bunny the halftime show at the super Bowl, and a
lot of uh, disgruntled of people, uh not a hip
to the idea Bad Bunny doing it either, don't know
the music, don't like the music, don't know the hits
if there are hits at all, and then then maybe
(26:13):
a little politics playing into it with the issue of immigration.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I suppose, right, Yeah, well, it's not political in any way,
shape or form for me. I just think, and we've
been talking about this, that if somebody plays the super
Bowl halftime show, you should know at least two or
three of their records and one I can't name one
Bad Bunny song, and he's usually like an ad in
(26:36):
for a bigger artist. You know, he does a lot
of those guest appearances and so so for me, that's
not super Bowl worthy. But surprise, well, I would I.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Would put Bruno Mars in there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I would put you know, maybe not Mariah Carey because
she's getting a little bit old and she can't do
it on stage anymore. I mean, she's got a good
new record out, so she is relev We talked about her.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But there's a ton of artists, for sure that can
do it. You know, absolutely, let's tix more costs. What
other people think to Moscow, Ohio not Russia, Well, I
mean they could call. I mean, if they could listen,
I don't know. Zach was Sterling and Donnadee on the
Big One.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Hey man, what do you think?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I'm a betting man, And I'm shocked that it was
in Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yes, that's my choice for it.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
But she is getting married, so she's she's she made
a statement and said I'm tired, and she toured all
it was like the biggest tour of the year and
now she's engaged to you know, one of the brothers, Kelsey.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Do you ever think about it? This weekend she released
her new album.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
I think you're absolutely right, Zach.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
What would be a giant thing for her to be
playing the super Bowl this year?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Thanks, Jach.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I mean you're right on it. I mean, she doesn't
need the help. It's not benefiting. I mean, she could
make more money. She could sell more records or a
stream more. I suppose possibly, Well, she have already a
billion streams.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's a breaking record, so, I mean the Spotify record,
it's breaking every Spotify record.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I mean, and I've listened to probably four songs, and
they're very good. They are so good.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She held that door open when talent was given out.
I mean as a business person and taking care of
her team, the people driving trucks for that huge production
and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
He pays them, well, she takes care of them the road.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
I mean, yeah, she's an overall good person and I
think that's probably why she's had the success that she's had.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I know, Sterling, if.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I could just pick some music, just let's get to
Joe and Batavia with Sterling and Dunnady, what about Bad Bunny?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Should he go?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Will he do the halftime show or will they punt
because of all this hubbum?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Well, I'll tell you what, guys, I don't really know.
I think Roger Goodell really fumbled on this one.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Go ahead, Yeah, both were like, I think it was
a good ball analogy though fumbled.
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Let me press this by saying this though I have not,
will not cannot ever afford a super Bowl ticket, so
unfortunately I will not be there in person this year.
And also I do have a remote control with fresh batters.
I guess I could change the channel if I wanted to,
but just really grabs my gears. I mean, Roger Goodell,
I don't even know what's going on here. I think
(29:22):
the perfect line up. This is how I would do it. Okay,
I would do Lee Greenwood, Star Stangled Banner. I would
do a coin flip. We ain't even talking about coin
flip yet. Dean King, that's Superman right there. That's Superman.
He's fighting for us, he's getting rid of these legal
Superman would would be awesome for the coin flip. Now,
mute halftime. I think I definitely think it should be
(29:46):
uh kid rock, you know, kid Rock. Maybe do a
little collaboration with Ted Nudget, Maybe do a solo, you
know what I mean. And I think it really brings
this country together. I don't know what we all.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Think we I don't like Ted Nus and I never
have liked him and great it was crazy. I'm just
the same and music wise, I've never been a fan
of Ted News.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Thirteen year old girl.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I mean, there's so much for I mean, I asked
Anny about issues with going away for doing anything things
and you know what, there was a time when apparently
everybody seemed okay with that weird six stuff to.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Know, and nobody's ever okay, not a lot of people.
Is Joe still okay? Because I wanted to see if
he thought Keith Urban could have done it?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, well, there's just no time.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Sandy Collins has news the latest on this this horrible
circumstance with the former quarterback in the NFL, Mark Sanchez,
who's in Indianapolis to call that game, who's hospitalized after
being stabbed.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That and more was Stirling and Donna d coming back
mike ywallspace dot com. We'll talk getting married in space
and more before chick Ludwig steps here, uh and to
do with what he does uh in a bit, and
then Donna comes back later tonight while I listen and.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I listened to relationship stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, trying to get my life right seven hundred doule
Well w and stomp a glass and say I do
way up there with no gravity?
Speaker 10 (31:14):
I guess you can. I mean I'd probably be safer
just to kind of smash it with your hand. I mean,
if you have like a cloth napkin over it or something.
I mean you want to be stomping on stuff up there.
There's a lot of sense of.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Equipments of blood and stuff not good.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
Yeah, I haven't heard of anybody else getting yet getting
married in space. That's probably a first.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Very cool, so there's something to look forward to. I
guess if you have Tom Cruise money and you are,
like Donna just said off the year, he's Tom Cruise,
meaning I guess he can do anything.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Well, no, he was like, well, we would think Jeff
Bezos would do something like that before Tom Cruise. But
Tom Cruise is, you know, an adrenaline junkie. He flies
motorcycles off cliffs and has a parachute, So why wouldn't
he go to space? I was, I mean, it's crazy
that you know this woman who was a great actress.
She was in a very good movie with Ben Affleck
called deep Water. It was really good and a dearmis
(32:06):
twenty six years younger than Tom Cruise.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know, how do you marry?
Speaker 6 (32:10):
We're talking with Mike to wall about this, but how
do you marry such adventurous It would be exhausting in
my book, I mean, how do you do that?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Would you ever get married in space or remarried or remarried?
Speaker 10 (32:25):
I don't think so, Like, I don't know. I mean,
I I just I'm more of a simple person with
simple taste, and I don't have Tom Cruise's energy, so
I think, I, yeah, that's that's a little too much
for me.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
He isn't exhausting. Actually think about it.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Here's something I always pepper you with all these questions,
like about what's going on? So before we go further,
and I know Donna has other stuff to ask you,
I'm curious about what jumps out at you since we've
last spoken. Stuff that's monumental that matters in space news,
perhaps even budget issues with what's going on with the
shutdown and how that affects NASA in the future of
spaced off.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yeah, that's really depressing, you know, I mean with with
the shut down, you know, NASA has actually furloughed fifteen
thousand employees out of about eighteen thousand an agency.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
So it's the same story with a lot of different agencies.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
You know, a lot of people are going without paychecks,
and that means a lot of like a lot of
work is also not being done. You know, a lot
of science is not being done. And there's a lot
of collateral damage from this, you know, like the Juno
Jupiter orbiter, which has been yeah, been orbiting Jupiter and
studying it for years now apparently might be on the
chopping block or might be on its last legs, and
(33:35):
not just because of the shutdown, but that that hasn't helped.
It's just yeah, it's just depressing. It's it's like a
lot of things in the country, like things things are
just like yeah, not like working necessarily how they should
and it yeah, has ripple effects all the way across everything.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I guess, Unlike others who have a choice to either
show up to work or not whether they're getting paid
or not. In this case on Tarra Firma and in
the space and the space station situation, they're not getting paid,
but they can't like just walk away from the gig.
So they're just going to go on as business as
usual and their family will get their money, I guess
whenever they get it right.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Yeah, there are certain there are certain activities that are
exempt from the shutdown stuff, Like, yeah, if you're an
astronaut of Space Station, obviously you you bill need stay
up there. You're not going to just like like jump
out and come back down to Earth. Like you're a
work in mission control in Houston, and to support the
Space station astronauts, you know you you are continuing to
(34:31):
work because that's viewed as Yeah, obviously mission critical people's
lives are at stake. And they exempted a few other
things too, you know, like the Artemist program that like
trying to get get people back to the Moon. All
the planning.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And development will.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
Work for the Artemist program is continuing more or less
on the same schedule, and that's they're trying to hit
like a pretty ambitious launch schedule for the second Artist
mission Artists Too, which is supposed to launch this spring
and send four people around the Moon and back, not yea,
not to land, but to do kind of like a
like a loop around the Moon mission and come back
(35:05):
to Earth. All the people are the vast majority of
the people working on keeping that on schedule are still working,
still coming into work. So there are a few things that, yeah,
that are deemed like mission critical to NASA and to
the country, and those are still continuing.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
And so you know, I always ask you an Elon
Musk question, Mike. So he's got he's got the SpaceX
launch coming up October thirteenth, How how is that looking?
And is that going to be you know, tell me
about why he's doing. This is going to be his
eleventh I think the eleventh launch from from from SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Yeah, the eleventh flight test.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Are they getting closer and closer to you know, landing
on the moon on Mars?
Speaker 10 (35:48):
I mean, well, yeah, this is it's going to be
the eleventh. Yeah, it's the eleventh test flight of Starship,
which is there the big Mars rocket. You know, Elon's
always said he founded SpaceX a long time ago to
help humanity colonize Mars. That's like the main deal, that's
the main driving force for most of the stuff that
he's doing with SpaceX, and this this is the rocket
(36:09):
that he thinks can make that happen. And it's also
like the rocket that actually NASA has chosen to help
astnauts land on the Moon with Artemiss three mission, which
hopefully launches in twenty twenty seven. So there's a lot
there are a lot of reasons to like root for
this thing to work. You know, NASA is definitely rooting
for it to work. They have a lot investment in it.
And yeah, it's like the tenth test flight was August
(36:31):
twenty sixth and it actually it like went well, and
that broke a streak of like three straight test flights
where the upper stage of Starship didn't survive. It was
supposed to land in the come down off the coast
of Western Australia and it didn't make it that far.
You know, it broke apart three straight flights in a row.
But flight ten worked really well. So I'm sure that
(36:51):
gives SpaceX like a lot of reasons for optimism. And
they're gonna they're going to try to match that again
on flight eleven, which yet, like as you mentioned in
October thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
So they did when SpaceX did win seven hundred and
fourteen million dollars from the Pentagon, And so they think
this is the best shot to get to Mars. Is
that why they're putting this money behind it?
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Well, I yeah, Like I think that the Pentagon has
other ambitions for Starship. You know, they don't care that
much about colonizing Mars. I think what they see what
they see with Starship is a chance to are a
real opportunity to launch lots of cargo like around the
Earth very quickly and have that land.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I mean, you can.
Speaker 10 (37:33):
Launch a ton of stuff in Starship. It's really really big.
You can imagine all the things that the military might
want to launch and get to a place really fast.
So I think they see it as like points to
point transportation here on Earth. Wowy lost, but like some
tanks or a bunch of missiles, there something you can
put it can load that all up in the starship,
which is gigantic, and it could be on the other
(37:54):
side of the world in like ninety minutes, you know,
And that's that's so are There are a lot of
companies that are thinking about stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
There are a lot of militaries around the world.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
That are thinking about stuff like that, like what can
we do with space launch that's not just in space,
but can help us do stuff here on Earth.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
So ninety minutes around planet on Earth, and I can't
get a pizza to my house in less than an hour,
and so I got to go pick it up.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
It's the first time I've heard anybody talk about that
of were why are we all in space? Well that
makes sense to be able to move things quicker around
this planet.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
That is crazy, real quicker.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Before we let you bounce, Mightywallspace dot Com with Stirling
and Donnade on the Big One. This is I look
at the Moon all the time. Don't look at the
Sun directly anyway, but the moon is fine. International observe
the moon. Night is tonight. I don't what's different about
tonight than any other night before we let you go.
Speaker 10 (38:51):
I don't think the moon will look any different. But
it's just a way to kind of raise awareness about
the Moon. I think most people know that it exists,
but like just to it's it's sort of I mean
kind of ticket for granted, and it's just so it's
like it's the Moon. It's up there. But there are
a lot of scientists who are very investments studying it.
You know what I can teach us about sources some history,
and now that we're trying to get people back there
(39:13):
for the first time since the Apollo days, you know,
there's a lot of interesting stuff, both in terms of
science and exploration, and it's just like it's just one
of those things that people who care about like astronomy
and space science do to try to convince other people
to care a little bit and to look up and
to maybe, yeah, just just kind of think a little
beyond themselves observes a wonder.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
I mean, Mike, I went out onto my back deck
the other night and literally there were so many stars
and I just sat in my on my chair and
looked up into the sky and it was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I love the reminder. I love it it is.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
It's pretty.
Speaker 10 (39:49):
And each each one of those stars, you know, each
one of those probably has at least one planet, and
you just don't.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Know what those worlds are like.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
It's it is really crazy now that we're learning so
much about extraplanets that the yeah, seeing all these stars
in the sky, it takes on like a new meeting
because they're all pretty much all solar systems, just like
our solar system, and they many a lot of these
stars probably have Rocky planets and some of them might
have water. Yeah, it's just it does put things into
perspective more now that we know a lot about them.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
For tiny, little insignificant like sands in the hour glass,
it's unbelievable. Mike y Wall, it's always great to talk
to you for bringing a space to life and it's
relevance to us here on Taro firmat space dot com.
The website always great reading, a fantastic resource and a
bunch of really really big brain people making things easily understandable,
(40:35):
which I need help as much as I can get
on that. Thanks Mike, take care of yourself. Enjoy the
rest of your weekend you too.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
He's Mike d Wall Sterling and Donna Dee. You're back

straight away from Brendan Jones talking baseball playoff season sands
the Reds win for the football Bearcats Bengals in action
tomorrow there's a lot on a play on a great
weekend to be here in Cincinnati, on the home of
