Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, how you doing. Welcome to It's the fine Friday
night sterling into the weekend. It's a foggy one too,
by the way headit home from the fifth third Arena.
After basketball, Bearcats get a ten point win over Georgia
State Panthers. Wes Miller glad for the wind, not real
happy with the way they played, but still undefeated. You
see place again in a few days and they get

(00:22):
tuned up fort Xavier one last night. So that's looking good.
Whole lot of high school football playoff action happening, a
lot of kids playing in the fog. Just be careful
driving around by the way in and around the tri State,
whether you're on seventy one seventy five. I saw fog
in a lot of spots, and you just gotta sort
of sloaded. Don't use the high beams. I mean, I

(00:43):
don't mean to be like a master of the obvious,
but I saw people, Oh, let me get the high
beams on, and you're not helping, You're making stuff worse.
So just to watch yourself in that regard. I'm here
to help, don't you know. Kevin Carr gonna join us
at Silver Get go on the substack talk about the
new Predator movie and who knows what else we'll get
into his head after your ten o'clock report. Good way

(01:03):
to go between then and now. Government's still shut down.
Let's see what else we can update you on. The
courts have said that they got to put money for SNAP,
the wins gotten it, moving it ahead, so people that
are secure when it comes to food issues aside from
hitting you know, the free store, food bank or whatever else,
will have those resources available to them sooner than later. Can't,

(01:27):
for the life of me make sense for why the
federal government at this point is kicking and screaming and
fighting with tooth and nail not to feed the people
that are already supposed to be getting SNAP benefits, which
also the money in some cases going to the food
banks just bewildering to me. Something else that's bewildering when
you think about it. Even in the best of times,

(01:48):
they're still in the neighborhood of a million and a
half people in the state of Ohio that get Snapped benefits,
which is you know, for aged, elderly, you know, parents, working,
people who a very few resources, not enough still when
it comes to poverty line income issues to be able
to qualify forward along with the disabled and a bunch
of others. But that is close to fifteen percent or

(02:12):
so of the Ohio population, which is a pretty disturbing anyway,
a good bit of ground to covered, and I'd like
to have a little bit of fun now that the
sadness has been discussed. Although if you're looking for your
snap benefit's money coming sooner than later is probably good news.
But I had a weird conversation, which is nothing new
for me, walking the dog in the neighborhood, going out

(02:36):
and getting the pumpkin out in front, which has had
the candle in it and was starting to deteriorate. And
as a teenager, what I used to do is abuse
those pumpkins and beat them with like a ball bat
and sometimes with fireworks, explode them and so forth. But
I'm grown now I don't do those things. But what
I did flash back I hadn't really thought about, which

(03:00):
made me feel like a tiny sterling again, is when
I was gathering up the pumpkin and a neighbor guy
down the way was out doing stuff in his yard
and he was talking about whatever, who knows what, and
I said, man, I love the smell of that burnt
pumpkin from the candle inside the jackal lanter. He goes, dude,
I love that too, he goes, you know what else
I love? I'm like, what? Man? He goes, I like

(03:21):
the smell of gatholine. And I paused and I was
thinking about it. I was like, there's a topic, there's
a conversation. I have had talks here and opportunities for
people to get interactive, which you can too now as
we open up the phones five point three seven four
nine seven eight hundred, the big one. I want to
know what unusual smell or scent you like or tolerate,

(03:45):
or appreciate, or maybe even I could be stretching the
adjective maybe you love a stranger unusual smell that other
people might be like, are you serious? You like that?
What is wrong with you? I mentioned to a friend
of mine about the pumpkin smell with the candle, and
she told me that she thought it was sick and repulsive,

(04:06):
which was not her describing her feeling towards me, but
the smell of the pumpkin. And I didn't even go
down the conversation rabbit hole of you know, gas on
lean like my neighbor said, which is pretty wild. And
of course that Drew Westerhide, who's producing the show tonight.
I asked him. And the first thing out of his
mouth he goes, gas, I like the smell of gas,

(04:26):
or he goes, he doesn't mind, doesn't you don't like love?
But you appreciate the smell of gas, I guess is
basically how he described it, which which is fine. Five
point three seven four nine seven eight hundred, the big one.
You can talk back the iHeartRadio app give you a
chance to get interactive. I'm curious, do you like the
smell of gas? Do you like the smell of the
jack o lantern that's been cooked a little bit inside

(04:48):
with the candle? If you still are old school and
actually carve a pumpkin like I did. I saw a
bunch of those in the neighborhood. I see a lot
of people that just sort of colored on the outside
and had other lights in and around their yard that
are still up too, which is a whole other thing.
So maybe that's not as a common of a thing otherwise,
but the other scent and this might explain a lot.

(05:10):
And I did not let me just preface this. I
did not spend a lot of time preoccupied in search
of the smell that I'm about to describe. But as
a kid taking the school bus home into school, when
I would get off the bus and then have to
walk another block or so, depending on which you know,
time it was for which school when I was going,

(05:32):
what I did like and I wasn't the only one,
because there was another kid like that. The smell, I
guess is what it was was diesel fuel or whatever
it is they gassed up the buses with. I kind
of like that smell too. Now, I mean I didn't
follow the gas plume and smell, you know, of the
exhaust for the whole way home. That would have been

(05:53):
probably serious brain damage over time. And I know emissions
have gotten better since the eighties, but I got to say,
I kind of liked that too, So unusual scent or
smell that sort of goes along with that. I like
the smell of like a hard boiled or what do
you call them, deviled eggs. I like those. I like
deviled eggs a lot. We're getting into the season of

(06:14):
the holidays and Thanksgiving and people getting together at Easter
time is maybe way in the distance, but that's when
we would see that a lot. And I kind of
like that smell, not so much if you eat too
many of the deviled eggs. That's another smell later on
that you get to share with friends and family. But
that smell itself of the deviled eggs is tremendous. So
from jack o' lanterns burnt inside pumpkins to the smell

(06:37):
of gasoline, which Drew Western Heidi apparently can appreciate. He
doesn't go in search of it. I don't want to
say that he's like sniff and gas can fumes. That
would be a problem. I remember working at the Putt
putt golf and games when I was a teenager, and
it was for another reason altogether, and I never believed it,
and they told me I had to look out for

(06:59):
it during the summer months especially, But then even after
school when I would go to work there, I'd ride
my bike after school to work and there would be
these people. I don't know they were wasting their lives necessarily,
but what I'm about to describe certainly does not bode
well for the future. They would come out of the
bathroom sometimes and I was told to kick them out
of off the property. They would sniff like paint, but

(07:23):
I think it was to get high. And the one
dude would do that regularly and he would get like
a huff in a bag and you could see like
the paint around his face. I'm like, dude, you can't
come in here like that. I don't know what's wrong.
You need to get help. And he's like, no, man,
I'm all right, I'm all right. I don't know when.
I don't think that's so much because they like the smell.
But at some point I guess they realized that was
how to get high, which is a pretty sad state

(07:44):
of affairs, I think in general for them. Anyway, odds
smells that you enjoy five three, seven, four nine, seven thousand,
eight hundred. The big one to Terrace Park and Mark
was Sterling on a Friday night. There was a good
one for those basketball Bearcats beating Georgia State by ten
seventy four sixty four to night Mark.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
How are you outstanding and getting better? I'll tell you
Gasoline is the classic, sure, but I'll raise you the
smell of a hardware store isle nothing like the whiff
of lumber and PVC glued to remind you you're still
a man. You know.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
You hadn't thought that. You're absolutely right. There is a
very It is a tremendous, like pleasurable smell when they're
in there cutting wood down for you or whatever else.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, well wait there's more. I mean fresh, oh, a
fresh can of of newly opened tennis balls.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Chlorine at the.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Pool, Yes, chlorine at the pool.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
It smells like childhood and lawsuits. But uh uh and
then and then my wife was just there tonight the
freezer section of Costco. Uh, no idea, no idea, why
But it smells like victory and and bulk regret all
at the same.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Time when you're stuffing the freezer full at the house
so you don't have to go out anymore than you
have to. I think it's a win all the way.
That smells like good times to me.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
And one more thing, you know, there's nothing that you know,
My wife's armpits smell good to me.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I just I like her smell, sure, no matter, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
So you gotta love life and your dogs and your wife,
and you know, make sure the bad smells don't go
to them to blow, you know. And of course today
my dog hunted like a monster catching those pheasants on
opening day because he has a nose a thousand times
stronger than us.

Speaker 6 (09:32):
That's right there, you go.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's tremendous, Mark. I appreciate the call me and thank you.
That was fun. I like that chlorine at the pool.
I absolutely remember that, and it does. I love that smell.
It's invigorating. It just makes you feel good. Not so
much like when we would go to the rec center
when I was a kid and we would swim so
much in so long that it literally and apparently they
weren't offering like an eye drops at the House of

(09:55):
Sterling so much. My eyes would get so red and
it would be so like a bob by so much
of the chlorine in the pool, they get so like bloodshot.
Everything looked foggy. But I sure as I love that
smell too, Mark, that's tremendous, taking me right back to
my youth. Five point three seven four nine seven thousand,
eight hundred. The big one unusual sense or smells that
you appreciate that others might find to be offensive in

(10:17):
some type of way. Also, you know it. Hardware store
is a good one. Freshly cut lumber, love that too.
That is for sure. I like the smell of like
if you get a bonfire going, or you get the
fireplace going, just make sure you open the flu if
you haven't done that already. It's been cold enough already
this fall, right, but that smell of freshly burnt wood
also is tremendous. Five point three seven four nine seven

(10:39):
eight hundred the big one. It's a Friday night. Bear
Cats win tonight by ten, seventy four sixty four over
the Georgia State Panthers. Bear Cats with the wind now
two and zero undefeated, they play on. Uh, the season
just really getting started, so it's a beautiful thing. Appreciate
you being here. We'll hit the phones, we come back.
Kevin Carr going to join us. We'll talk on new

(10:59):
movies with him after the news, and a whole lot more.
Appreciate you being along the nation station seven hundred w
WELW fine. Friday night a good one for basketball Bearcat
fans well well and the Bearcats two for that matter.
It was seventy four sixty four, ten point win over
Georgia State. Georgia State's Panthers now o and two, Bearcats
two and o. Fifth third Arena was hopping here, Dan Horde,

(11:20):
Steve Logan, more Moegger of course, taking care of you
a little bit earlier on that roll until midnight tonight,
Kevin Carr goan enjoin me in a bit. We're talking
about to some odd smells and stuff I was cleaning up.
This leads to something else maybe later about decorations. And
so if we guy have neighbors, one house is all
decked out in Christmas already, and I say, listen, if

(11:41):
it makes you happy, do it. I don't care, but
it just seems crazy early for me. I've seen Christmas
stuff up in stores for weeks and weeks now, and
Halloween stuff was up in stores seemingly after fourth of July.
But so I was taking the jack o' landers at
a couple of those, into the scent of the burn
pumpkin inside from the candle which I wasn't regularly lighting.

(12:04):
They had just sort of started to deteriorate and look aged,
you know how they start to fold up on themselves,
And I was like, man, that smells great, and it
took me back to being a child, Like a little kid.
I remember when they stopped messing with the pop get
don't mess with the jack O Land and I used
to get in there so you can see how you
got the candle out and you spilled it. You're gonna
make a mess. And that smell took me back to
being a tiny sterling. Neighbor likes that smell too. He

(12:25):
mentioned he like gasoline. Drew Western. Heidi said he liked
that Mark called earlier mentioned chlorine at the pool and
the hardware store with freshly cunt lumber. If you go
to the lubber yard five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one. I want to know what
odd smells you can appreciate. Uh, there are many debain
Ridge and they hit the right button. Let's get James
here before your ten o'clock reports. Straight away here, James,

(12:47):
what do you have? What smells good to you?

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, Sterling, I'm a first time caller and I'm glad
to get through.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I appreciate you listening.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
I am a live bone McAdie and I at the
age of twelve, early in my grandfather's garage, I used
to go in and smell the grease and the oil
and the dirty rags. I love that to hell, and

(13:17):
it just it's invigorating for me.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
When you smell it, does it take you back in time?
Because there are certain smells that you can flash back
to events in your life that you know good the
experience is bad experience, and so forth. So I mean,
what does that remind you of? What does it take
you back to? If anything? Or is it just like.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
I love it?

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Oh, I just love to be in the garage. It
just I don't know, it's just something strange. But I
ended up being a mechanic my whole alliance. And but
I think early on, when I was like ten twelve,
that smell just.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Turned me on absolutely. I totally get that.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
I love that smell. Well, he ended up tinkering.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
It took you right in there. You had to like
the work too. You weren't just doing the work for
the smell, right.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
No, I love.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love the work.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
I was a mechanic in the army that's seeing Vietnam,
some great skills and it's carried you through.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
We appreciate your service, James. I hate to be brief,
but I'm against the wall in time. I appreciate you listening.
I hope you'll call back.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's all right, Stertling, and thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Take care of yourself and see if we got time
for one more here before the break and after ten
o'clock in the news, so we'll get an update on
what's going on around the Tri State fog issues. By
the way, if you're driving, just be aware here and
there skit flipping around channels here, also looking at high
school football and I saw a lot of fog in
some of those games too, Hillsborough. Mark, if you can
do it in about thirty seconds, we'll get you here

(14:53):
before the news. What smells good to you that others
might go, Really, why do you like that?

Speaker 7 (14:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Well, yeah, just in.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
General, fresh cut grain on the feed meal.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh feed mial, I thought you said, female, Yes, I
got your feed mill works Okay, I got you. Yeah,
I like that smell too, all right, Marsh, I appreciate.
I was like, man, you like the smell of women
at me too? I got it, And I was like,
I don't know, yeah, yes, it took us to another place. Mark,
I appreciate the call man. Thank you. Ten o'clock reports

(15:29):
straight away. Kevin Carr on the other side, talking new
movies and more, rolling till midnight Friday night, sterling bear
Cats winners Tonight, I appreciate you being here. We're all
winners together with a bye week for football Bearcats and
Bengals right here, seven hundred WLW all right to keeping
me online and on time as best as possible. And
Kevin Carr sober get go on the sub stack. You

(15:50):
can find him. You can read him there. He'll show
up in your mailbox. He's like that he did not
at the house. I mean, like virtually you won't go
to people's houses and just bring like comics and common
terry and odd stories and things. I mean, you're not.
I mean that's a stretch, right I will.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm not gonna do it for free. You gotta pay
a charge though. You know, you could be like uber eats.
You know, it could be like door dash. It could
be uh, you know they call it car dash or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Sure, that's a great ideaes car dash. That's that's perfect.
That's it. You better service market. Get proof that you
said it first before somebody else does it. We got
the podcast at the iHeart Well, you and.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I can do that too, and then you can sit
there and million if you want people to argue, we
can show up and argue for you or or or
and this would be perfect, yes, because you know we're
we're less than three weeks from Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
You know, we could rent ourselves out and just start
fights at Thanksgiving dinner, so you don't have to fight
with their own relatives. You can then just be spectators.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Dude, that would be great. That could I mean, people
would feed you until things in sideways. It would be
a show and it would alleviate their pain and suffering.
Or I actually enjoy the family dysfunction. We put the
fun in it at the House of Stirling.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah, and then and then then when they're finally done,
you grab a turkey leg and you make it run
for it.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
That's it. Now I have to ask something before we
get to the new movie stuff. And uh, but I
talked about this earlier, so I got rid of the decaying.
I guess it was no longer a pumpkin. It was
officially a jack o lantern at the house a Sterling.
I had a couple of them. Yeah, and I was
tossing that and I got a good whiff of the
burnt inside of the pumpkin, which is one of their
greatest smells on earth. To me, it took me back

(17:25):
to being a tiny like you know, third grade sterling
being yelled at for messing with the candle in the pumpkin.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
Do you like the smell?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
I do.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yeah, it's it's sort of yeah, it's it's well, you know,
the pumpkin's a type of squash, so it does kind
of smell like cook squash, you know, like if you
ever I'm not a huge squash fan eating it, I'll
eat it in a pie. Ex definitely put pumpkin pie.
I will eat a pie. But yeah, no, that that
that's good. But as long as the pumpkin hadn't like

(17:53):
gotten that like that black speckled mole all over it
yet that at that point, I don't want to smell
any of it.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, you get it with of that, I don't know,
that's a whole other thing. I mean, you end up
maybe you get stuff growing in your nasal passages. Yeah,
I wasn't snorting the black stuff off the inside of
the pumpkins just to like will no.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
To anybody.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
No, it's a bad choice, and I've made a life
of bad choices. Learned from my mistakes, all right, Kevin
car silver gecko on the substack, What did you see this? Week,
you usually pick one and then we go off the
rails and somewhere else. I have seen and I already
know the answer to this. All I can tell you
before you run with this is that in the last
three days everything I have watched, the analytics and the

(18:35):
algorithm apparently thinks that I am the target audience for
Predator bad Lands.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Well, and that makes sense because the original movie came
out in nineteen eighty seven, so you were in your
formative years back then.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
So you've been around for all the Predators and this
is the latest version. Now. What's what's interesting about this
is Dan Tracktenberg who directed it. He did like stuff
like ten Cloverfield Lane.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Uh, you know.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Quite a few years ago he did this movie called Prey,
which is a predator type movie where the predator comes
down during you know, before western civilization got to America
and so there was indigenous people that it was that
it was hunting and it's a great movie. It ended
up just on on Hulu and it got a lot
of buzz and then they said, well, this did well,

(19:24):
let's do and he did an animated version or an
animated Predator anthology of short stories called a Predator, Killer
of Killers, and that's also on Hulu. And so then
he did this movie that that's jumping to the big screen.
And in the story, the story is there's this predator
who's here's a runt. He's a young runt. He's the

(19:45):
smallest in his family, but he's trying to prove himself
as a hunter. So he goes to the most dangerous
world ever and tries to kill the most dangerous creature ever.
And he teams up with this android played by alf Fanning,
and and and here there they're already starting to dabble
in the connection between the Predator and alien universes because
she was built by Waylan Utani. But they are trying

(20:08):
to survive on this planet. And what I like the
most about this one is it's unlike any of the
other other Predator movies. You see, all those movies are
about somebody somewhere on Earth and the Predator shows up
and starts killing people. And yeah, they did the movie
Predators where they ended up on their training grounds, but
it still was just a bunch of people trying to

(20:29):
figure it out, whereas this one kind of comes from
the Predator's point of view. And it's him doing something
very different than just trying to hunt man, which I
think is great because it's doing something different and there's
a lot you can do with this this universe, and
so that's one of the best things about it is
it takes such a different, unique approach to the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Talking to Kevin Carr, you can find him on Silver
Gecko the sub Stack talking about the Predator bad Lands. Now,
you mentioned the perspective of this predator, which is interesting.
Now are there. I'm trying to think occasionally you will
get a view like I can remember sitting like films
like Michael Miles, Mike I can't even say it, Michael Myers,
and you would occasionally see his view as he was

(21:12):
sort of moving through the world in hunting. But I don't.
I can't think of a lot of others that show
you the real perspective of the villain. Does this soften
your view? Could you mentioned him being the runt because
I think of puppies that are runts or cats that
are runs they usually are more aggressive. They got a
Napoleon complex, Like you said, the predator has to prove
himself to the others.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, Well, and and when I say, from their perspective.
I'm not just talking pov not just POV angles, which
is usually where you get it for like Michael Michael
Myers and that sort of thing, and and a horror movie.
It starts out with with the predators on with them.
It's it's not doesn't. I don't even think any scene
takes place on Earth. It's it's from it's it's a

(21:52):
movie about the predators, right, or the or the Yaucha
is the name of the creatures that they are, and
it's from their cultural perspective. So it's dubbed, you know,
because they're talking in their Yatsu language, and and you
get to know sort of like what this person's what
this creature's motivation is, why it's trying to do this,

(22:14):
whose relationships are with people? And then he kind of
has to go on this hunt alone. And that's it's
just a it's a unique approach to the story that
we've seen before, but not in the movies, because there's
loads of comic books and I think even written books
and a whole bunch of other things that deal with
the Predator and Alien franchise, but it just never has

(22:37):
made it into a movie like it has in this one.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Wow, so this act you sound excited like you're into
this of all of these, because I love the early
Predator stuff. I don't know how many they've done now.
It seems like they've made more than a few, but
I may be wrong, because there are some other creatures
that I have seen in other films that have looked
as if they were related to these type of creatures
that I that they were not really related by story.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, generally it's it would have Predator in the name
of it, because there was the first Predator with the
Arnold Schwarzenegger in the jungle, and then the second one,
which I really liked. By the way, This Predator two
is great with Danny Glover, yes, and it's an urban
jungle taking place in the distant future of nineteen ninety seven.
And then then they did Like Predators, and then they

(23:22):
did The Predator with Shane Black writing it, and they
did the Alien Versus Predator movies, which goes a little
more into that mythology. But those those movies are not very.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Good, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
So it's one of the best sequels, but that's not
a huge hurdle to get over. It's because there's some real.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Crap of This is not as crappy as the others.
This one knows who sounds good?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, I mean I know I will always say I
love Predator too. The first two Predator movies, I do
love me too. But this one, this one is the
first one that you're like, Okay, they're actually playing with
some of the ideas. It's not just a hunt again,
you know, not just oh we need to figure out.
Oh it's an alien. I know it's an alien. I've
seen the other movies. You know, we know what it does.

(24:07):
You know, you the characters, the character, he's not just
he's not like the bad guy. He's the car and
he's actually the protagonist in it.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Now, what about Allie Fanning? That kid, she's more than
a kid now, but I mean she's still young. She
has made a boatload of really good movies, and like
Super eight's tremendous that she's in this now and some
others too. How much of a face is she in
this and involved? I mean it sounds it looks like
actually an interesting cast as much as you may see
a lot of them with prosthetics and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Well, yeah, because she plays a synthetic or an android,
which we've seen in the Alien movies and of course
on on Alien Earth. If you watch Out on Hulu
and she's she's written in half, so it's just like
her top half for the whole for most of the movie,
carrying around like like Chewbacca carry C three po and

(24:58):
of course it's it's some kind of I heard somebody
describe it as a buddy cop film, only in this
in this universe, on this other plane, and it's kind
of works that way because there's a certain degree of
of comic relief and she brings a lot of She's
actually really good in finding the nuance of the character
and the relationship between a giant alien with this with

(25:22):
the face, fangs and everything that you can then relate to. So,
I mean it shows that she does have real acting jobs.
You know, you can go back to some of her
earlier stuff. She was just you know, the cute, little
blonde girl. And don't even don't even think about her
acting in Maleficent, because she was awful in that. But
I'd more blame that movie. But but yeah, she's really

(25:43):
really good in this.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Nice I'm looking forward to to seeing it now. I'm
Glen so glad that you actually said it was good,
because I you know, I hate it when I'm like
all geeked up and excited, and that's the one of
the things you take the hit for all of us.
Kevin Harbich had the way Silver Gecko on Substack with
Sterling on the Big One talking about Dtit or bad Lands.
Now there are no shortage of and we've touched on

(26:04):
this kind of thing before. There are sequel after seql,
variety of films. They've been reimagined, redone films over time.
That happens about every decade, it seems, right. Then there's
trilogy movies. Do you have a list or an idea
off the top of your head of best and worst
trilogies or sequels or something along those lines that you're like, yeah,
these are worth I mean Star Trek's the first one

(26:25):
of those that comes to mind, or maybe Ghostbusters, I
mean all the horror movies. There's tons of sequels and stuff.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Well, yeah, if a movie does well with the accept
with rare exceptions, and oftentimes there's contractual things like there's
never been a sequel to Et and I think that's
just because Spielberg holds on to the rights to that
kind of stuff. But if anything's successful enough, they'll make
a sequel. And that's nothing new. They've been doing that
literally since the beginning of cinema. I mean they you know, Drakila, Frankenstein,

(26:54):
those all had sequels and everything that and that was
in the thirties. So what I think I'm fascinating are
when they do reboots and remakes, Like reboots are less
We're less popular in the early cinema because there's nothing
to reboot. But now they're rebeing like, they're gonna reboot
the Mummy movies, not the one with Tom Cruise, Brendan

(27:15):
Fraser and Rachel Weiss, because they're gonna have them come
back and do the Mummy movies, which I think they
should redo them and have Michael or have a Brendan
Fraser come back in his fat suit.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
From the Whale.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, and well no, no, he was the he was
the swashbuckle in it. But still make him the swashbuckler,
but he like rolls down the hills and everything and
he eats pizza and binges and purges and all that
kind of stuff. But yeah, I mean they they you know,
everyone says, there's nothing new in Hollywood, but there is.
There's a lot of new stuff. But if you really
want new stuff, you got to go to the smaller things,
because no studio will put two hundred million dollars behind

(27:54):
something that's in their eyes untested, and half the time
when they do, it flops. So they need something to say, oh,
it was successful before. That's just the economics of Hollywood,
and people need to stop complaining about it, because that's
like complaining that taxes exist. You know, death and taxes.
They're gonna happen. Studios rebooting and remaking stuff, It's gonna happen.

(28:14):
And sometimes reboots and remakes are really good. I mean,
you know, Ben Hurr is a remake and it's considered
this great movie that's, you know, untouchable in a lot
of ways, but it's a remake. The House of Wax
was a remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum, which
in itself is not a bad movie.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
The thing we've talked I've talked at length about John
Carpenter's The Thing, which was a remake of Howard Hawks's
nineteen fifty one movie The Thing from Another World. So
just because it's a remake or reboot does not mean
it's bad. What I'm getting tired of is when they
make prequels of something that are a unnecessary and then

(28:54):
never deliver on stuff. I said, if they made a
Jaws series, if they said we're going to do Jaws
TV series on Peacock, it would be eight episodes long,
and it would be all about Brody and his wife
and the people. And then in the last scene of
the last episode, see a shark finn yep, And I'm like,

(29:14):
that's because that's how they do and it just drags
it out, and that's the stuff I get annoyed with.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I know I feel that annoyance too. What about the
Blade movies, Like I did, the first one was okay,
but Blade two was way better than they did like Trinity.
After that, I think, I don't know if they've done
more than three, right.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
They've been talking on they've been talking about doing another one,
and then Mherschela Ali was supposed to be doing a
new Blade for the Marvel Cinematic Universe because that he's
actually from the Marvel comics, but that never ended up
happening because they think they did put him in Deadpool
versus Wolverine or Deadpool and Wolverine Wesley Snipe shows up
as Blade. But those are okay. What's interesting? You know

(29:52):
who directed the second Blade movie, No General del Toro. Yea,
well he's got Franken's sign out. Now you can watch
that on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's not the plan yet, that's my plan tonight. I
was hoping to see it before, but things happened, and
that's sort of the you know, the life and the
way it goes, I guess, so yeah. I mean he's
done so much good work. Max who Boy's texts or
messages I should say, is all the Dead stuff like
Day of the Dead, the Georgia Romero stuff, and I
have Living Dead down in the Living Dead. I mean,

(30:23):
there's been so many spin offs and direct off of those,
and the Undead stuff Mission impossible too. Of all those,
do you think are the Bond movies the ones that
have had the most that have been in a series
of books and stuff. Do you think that have gone
to film in that uh?

Speaker 4 (30:37):
You know the Bond book. Well, you know the Bond movies.
What's interesting about them is that I think it was
it was like License to Kill, I think, which was
one of the ones with Timothy Dalton. I think it
was the second one. It was like that one, or
it might have been another one very soon after that
that they finally exhausted all the original books and stories
that Ian Fleming had written. And because even some him

(31:00):
if you see some of the Bond movies, they like
borrow from different films. You know, the film it's like, oh,
it's this one, but it has these things and like
stuff like moonrak or is nothing like the book. But yeah,
they did that one. I would say that one is
generally the most consistent. I'm just worried that now that

(31:20):
Amazon has has the rights to it, and I'm just
worried we're gonna get like some long drawn out prequel
or they're going to be like, let's have this whole
background of money, penny and and and that sort of thing.
And I just want I want the good old fashioned
Bond movies back where it was. You don't need to

(31:43):
go into his his background and his history, because when
you get too much into character, you're like, well, you know,
this guy is kind of the sociopathic, womanizing murderer.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
He's just the job. He's just Kevin. That's right. They
just need to let him work and have a good time.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Yeah, don't, don't. Don't try to get into his PTSD
or anything. Nobody will. I don't want that from a
Bond movie.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Nope, I agree. We're brothers from other mothers. He's Kevin Carr.
You can find silver Gecko on substack. Thank you for
making time, and looks like Predator bad Lands will be
on my list as well. Enjoy your weekend. I hope
everything is good at the House of car and stay
away from the black mold inside your old jack O Lanner.
I will you too, take care of yourself more sterling
coming back after your ten thirty report. Seven hundred WLW

(32:26):
Cincinnay basketball Bearcat fans. They got a ten point win
over Georgia State earlier. You heard it here on the
Big One the Third Arena where it was having seventy
four sixty four two and oh they are Georgia States
Panthers roll home over for the season and Tuesday night,
Dayton's flyers make the trip down seventy five from their
spot and we'll venture into fifth third Arena to take

(32:49):
on the Bearcats on Tuesday night. You'll hear that here
on seven hundred w welw A good bit of ground
to cover. When I worked in a grocery store. Let
me let me set up this properly. So where is
the most unusual place or what place have you seen
a full on brawl.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Happened?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
A full on fight chaos? And I don't mean the
thing that made national news Downtown and OTR with the
drunks and everything else that took forever to get all
the video out for all of us to see the
full picture of it as it was being adjudicated. But
that would count as a big, full on brawl. Where
you've seen a fight that's gone crazy. The first one

(33:34):
that I can recall where and it wasn't like necessarily
a mob rules group of situation. But I worked at
a grocery store when I was a teenager. It's a
place called grocery Barn, which was not a barn, by
the way, I did have like barn aesthetics. I'm not
quite sure why they had to come up with a theme,
I suppose. And I worked there when I was like fifteen,

(33:55):
sixteen seventeen something like that, and you know, I push
card and bad groceries and that type of thing. Get
Christmas trees. I had to tie them to people's the
tops of their cars and stuff in the season and
everything that goes along with that. And I've mentioned this
before because it was traumatizing and it was sure as
how it was funny. And I can remember, as a
fifteen or sixteen year old sterling at the time, that

(34:18):
I was asked and requested to go to a certain
aisle to see if I could help with some type
of thing that was going on. And it wasn't like, oh, there,
you know, there's a spill in Aisle six, or a
customer needs help in Aisle five or whatever else. It
was that type of scenario. It was a full on
beatdown kind of scenario. Two guys going at it. I'm

(34:39):
not quite sure why they were fighting. How would he
got into fisticuffs? In fact, it had gone beyond fisticuffs.
Nobody in today's world it turned a gunfire or a
knifing or something. But what it did turn into was
a battle of can goods. One dude was wailing on
another guy with like canned salmon. I guess you know,

(35:01):
if you're looking for something to hit someone with, a
can good might work. I'm not advocating it I was
somewhat taken back by it. I watched from a distance.
I at fifteen, sixteen years old, making minimum wage. Why
the hell would I get involved to stop what looked
like two able bodied guys fighting each other in the aisle,
at which point I went to the manager and was like,

(35:22):
I'm not doing anything about that. You might want to.
And then he left his little like safe place up
in overseeing the whole store in his office and went
down there. And I think they may have called the
police or something, but I was not getting involved. They
weren't paying me enough to get a can of tuna
or salmon in the head, so I let them go
at it. Now flash forward to a story about Starbucks

(35:44):
and people fighting over apparently these new commemorative like Bear
East And this is not an advert. They're not paying me,
and I probably shouldn't have used the actual brand name,
but I'm doing it because you know what it is.
They have these little bears that you can get a
commemorative cup and they'll fill it with coffee or tea
or whatever else. And it looks like it's got like

(36:06):
a little tube pet like I wear in my bald head,
except it's got the Starbucks logo, and apparently people are
quite serious about getting these, so much so that apparently
it's caused a physical battle between customers a time or
two here or there. And then now here's another story
which is wild. Some guys at a bass Pro shop

(36:27):
in Texas. It doesn't say why they were fighting. This
was apparently last weekend in Odessa. If I'm not mistaken,
It apparently had gone. It says there was an argument
about a bathroom. I don't know what the hell that
could have been. I don't want to know somebody cut
in line, if somebody got weird with somebody else in
the bathroom. It's not really my problem, but it's kind

(36:50):
of crazy. The only thing where I've seen at a
bass Pro shop that had the big fishing tank or something.
And I know there was a guy at one of
the stores that I left some years ago where someone
jumped in for reason to swim around. I don't know
if they were trying to catch it. I don't know
if they were drunk. I don't know what their point was.
That's the strangest thing I've seen there. I've not seen
a fight, but there's video and still photos of these
guys going at it at this Bess Pro shop, so

(37:13):
I open up the phones. I'm wondering if you've seen
anybody come to fisticuffs in a fight situation for whatever reason,
at a strange or unusual place, or just in general
where you may have seen someone come to blows, maybe
an odd place that seems like a weird place to me,
not necessarily at like a bus stop after school with
a bunch of kids transferring to go to like their

(37:35):
respective homes or whatever that seems to make the news
in the last year or two regularly downtown Cincinnati, here,
up in Dayton or whatever. I know they've tried to
abate the problem, and that's almost expected at this point.
But you know, shopping at a grocery or at a
like a you know, like a some type of a
hunting or a fishing store seems a little bit weird

(37:56):
where you would see it. I remember I saw there
was a fight in a parking lot at a big
box retailer a couple of years ago. I showed up
to go shopping is it was being cleaned up. So
I don't know exactly what happened or how it happened,
but it seemed like a strange and unusual place. But
sometimes that'll happen. You know, people will take parking spots

(38:19):
or or have words of some sort. You know, I
don't know. I tend to be a happy, go lucky guy.
I don't tend to have these type of encounters on
a regular basis, but I have observed a few. The
one at the grocery barn will stick with me until
the day I die, because it is just a strange
occurrence and a thing to see. Imagining somebody, you know,
deciding that it was time to come to blows and

(38:40):
the only thing they could get that they wanted to
use against somebody else other than their fist was can goods, which,
by the way, a can good can cause you some harm.
You ever dropped like a big can a like Sauer
Kraut on your foot, it's not good. Five point three
seven four nine seven eight hundred, the big one. You
can talk back. The iHeart Radio app your chance to
get interactive. I'm also on X, not the party drug

(39:02):
from the nineties, but what used to be called Twitter.
At Sterling Radio. You can get interactive that way as well.
From fishing stores to grocery stores to parking lots, and
everywhere else. People fight for strange reasons. I was, let
me get a south Mac first. Here Bob was sterling
on seven hundred W welw. Where have you seen someone

(39:23):
come to blows? It's unusual or strange. How are you, man?

Speaker 8 (39:27):
I'm good, just coming back football game. You're kind of
helping make it through the fog out here?

Speaker 1 (39:33):
How bad is it on the way in? I mentioned
this earlier. People need to pay attention. No high beams.
That does not help with fog? How bad is the fog?
And where have you been.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Up? Up north?

Speaker 8 (39:43):
A little more towards Zena, that's real bad. It's get
closer to talent's better. I took some fetters of the
ball game, and a lot of times the players could
just like to see.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Their heads bopping through the cloud like tough.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
I yess.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
On the different temperature of the field, the fog was
like lapping the ground to fifteen twenty three. It's kind
of strange, yeah for sure.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Okay, so but now it.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Was maybe eight years ago.

Speaker 8 (40:08):
Uh here in town LaSalle was playing the Canada team
and like the Canada people, I don't know if they
have different rules or something, but they were clueless and
they were it was like you forty nine to nothing
with seven eight minutes less than the game, and especially
period the four suckers that weren't getting in the game,
you know, enduring a nine hour each way bus ride,

(40:29):
they were kind of cranky and play came over to
the sideline and uh continued across the track up into
the stands, as I remember normally got close to the sands,
and our guy, our ball player, took their ballplayer and
launched h into the stands. I figured all the guys,
all the frustrated ball players, all that would be ball
players really upset. Yeah, uh, and I happened to be

(40:53):
I was taking pictures at that time. I had to
be on you know, the only Lasalga on their side
of the field, and they were heading, you know, all
the guys that didn't have any other action they were
anxious to h found on our ball player that came
into their sideline.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, that's that's not the most inviting of locations. I
could see that getting a little harry, especially with guys.
I mean, at least you have some a gear on,
at least some equipment, So that's one of those things
you start punching people with helmets and pads on, you
can break a hand.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
Well they did.

Speaker 9 (41:19):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
I was a fall of the guy and the one
of their would be.

Speaker 8 (41:25):
Players says, I'm going to get that little en. I said,
they're not, and I, luckily I had to be embraced
and he was off the ground. I took him and
tossed him into the couple other other ball players of
from Canada, and their coach started yelling at me, so
I don't touch my ball players.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
It could be that they're you know, it could be
that they're familiar with hockey and people like hockey fights.
I mean, maybe they brought a little of that hockey
mentality down to play some football on the state side
of the border. That's crazy, Bob. I appreciate the call
me and thank you to bond Hill and Rafael. It's
been a week or two since we talked. Raphael har A,
you sterling on the Big one.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Straight, doubt much.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
You see a strange fight somewhere I have, I.

Speaker 9 (42:03):
Have, you know, Well, one thing is sure, you couldn't
see a fight in this fog right now. Geez, it's
like thick, like London thick.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bro.

Speaker 9 (42:11):
But but yeah, man, I was a. I used to
be in Ohio basketball official, you know, high school basketball
official for the state of Ohio, and did high school
games of course, junior high games, and also you know,
do rec league games and whatnot from you know age

(42:33):
you know, four or five on up for rec league
to adult. So I'm doing some rec league games over
the weekend. I'm in Lincoln Heights and you know, going
over for the games in Lincoln Heights. You know, I'm
on my p's and Q so to speak.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
And so this is.

Speaker 9 (42:52):
Back in I'm gonna say maybe around nineteen ninety ninety nine,
you know, I almost say between two thousand and two
thousand and three, and right right, and so Sterling, you know,
you had a team, not necessarily favorite and everything, but

(43:13):
one team is getting the best of the other team.
And I think, if I'm not mistaken, they were about
fifth graders, okay, right in there, and man, Sterling, you
got the fans and the fans family members and whatnot,
and so they're not appreciating that their you know, kids,

(43:34):
sons and you know, nephews or whatever are getting the
business handed to them. So, you know, me and my partner,
we're referencing everything.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
And we could just hear people in the.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
Stands making little comments and things like that. I'm seeing
guys getting agitated, you know, just like that, and you
know you're in Lincoln Heights, and I'm telling my partner,
I say, hey, I have to be on the ready
here because something might get ready to pop off. Man
s thoroughly. No sooner than that. Just a full fledged

(44:06):
all in out fists the cuffs throw down beat down
just takes place, not only at half court, but then
adults start coming from the stands, no and fighting in
the stands. And I took maybe two steps towards the fray,
looked at my partner. I said, no, not today. So

(44:28):
I told the coaches, and the coaches they're trying to
get in too, I said, no, you need to call
Lincoln Heights Chinas and get them here right now. Because
it was maybe I will say, maybe upwards of twenty
five to thirty five people, including the basketball players now and.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Most of the how many adults see That's the thing
that's always weird. You see parents. I've seen it even
like in a rec league or like you of soccer
or even whatever you know, football basketball where the parents
are so involved and it's so engaged and that they
are called up and almost forget that they're supposed to
be grown ups who know better.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (45:07):
Yeah, And I just think the whole atmosphere and environment
and people were getting kind of you know, roued up
in sure, you know, kind of juiced uff in the
stands the adults. A quick glance when I was looking,
I saw maybe between six seven adults.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
See that's a tough spot. And yeah, I don't blame it.
You don't want to get involved. I mean, you want
to do the right thing and you don't want to
take it into a beating if you don't have to.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
Well, verbally, I.

Speaker 9 (45:35):
Just called out to you know, people that I saw
in there like that. I just called out, you know,
back off, I said, stop it, back off.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
But no, no, I don't blame it, Refael. I appreciate
you sharing. You know, Chick Ludwig does a lot of
officiating too. I appreciate the call. And he's always got
stories of like crazy stuff happening in that which is
always a blast. Let's get one more here before the break.
H D white Oak and Charlie was sterling on the
Big One talking odd places people have thrown down with
a fisticuff brawl scenario. What do you have, Charlie.

Speaker 10 (46:03):
Hi Sperling about about fifty years ago. Now, friend and
I we're going to a dance Savior, but it didn't
work out, so he wanted to go over to Newport
to the strip clubs.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Okay, so wait, Anut, you go from Xavier like, I'm
gonna go Xavior. That'll be great. Noe, We're going to
the strip club after that. That is some balance and
Yin and Yang go ahead. I'm sorry, that's the best.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (46:26):
And so we were at the ass and uh, we're
of coursitting sort back, but there's some guys up by
the stage, and all of a sudden, the two of
them stand up and went on me, I was your
son of a bee, And all of a sudden, well,
they're wailing on each other, and all of a sudden,
half a dozen linebackers come out of the woodwork with

(46:47):
bac old baseball bats, banging them on all the tables,
and they go and drag those two somewhere. But they
helped them break up the fight.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
So yeah, uh, I said, they put an end to it.
They put the kibosh on it.

Speaker 10 (47:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you know, you know, fight
in front of the strippers.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
So no, the hands off. There's a lot of rules
Chris Rock talked about. There's no you know, love in
the champagne room. Uh, you know, you got to always
look out for crillic keels and so forth. You did
not see Tracy Jones. Were you in and around the
brass ass?

Speaker 6 (47:20):
Were you? Oh?

Speaker 10 (47:22):
Yeah, but yeah, I a champagne room story too.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
But if you want to hear that, you got about
a minute. If you got it, it's got to be
quick and not dirty.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (47:35):
The friend of mine, you know, buying me up with
a bet girl. I'm sitting there. She's stuffing solder popcorn
and putting her elbow in my ribs. And her story
is Mike Dennis said, if I come back in with
one more case of gum disease, he's gonna.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Pull on my teeth.

Speaker 10 (47:53):
Oh that's a conversation he's like to hear from a
big girl.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
So yeah, that's wow. There's all kinds of layers to
wrong there, Charlie. I appreciate the call men, thank you
for sharing. And I'm glad you didn't get involved in
the battle with the bats out and so but it
is a way to clear a crowd, by the way,
I would imagine better than going to the the firearm,
but that'll get people moving too. Eleven o'clock reports straight away.

(48:19):
More to do, another hour to go before Red Eye Radio.
A good night for the basketball Bearcats. They beat Georgia
State by ten, seventy four to sixty four. Bye week
for Bearcats and Bengals football, and well, lots to do
tomorrow afternoon. I'll give you an update on what's booked
and set for tomorrow, but the time for news coming
up here sooner than later. Seven hundred WLW. Well are
together find Friday night it was already a good one

(48:40):
for basketball Bearcat fans, a ten point win over Georgia State.
You heard it here earlier on seven hundred WLW now
on meeting two one O got the day flyers in town.
Come Tuesday night right here on seven hundred WLU. Georgia
State goes home feeling not so good. I'll try to
find to win another time. Glad you're here, Joe Western
High to keep me in line on time. Travis Laird

(49:01):
with news in about twenty two minutes, give or take,
and rolling till midnight with Red Eye Radio after that
and then back tomorrow afternoon. I will be following ken Brew.
It's a bye week for the Bengals, bye week also
for football bear Cats. Is they enjoy some time off?
I don't know what do you do during the bye week?
I mean, I care about other football somewhat, but you know, Bengals,

(49:25):
bear Cats, oo Hio State playing. They already had theirs
right their bye week. But I think there'll be a
lot of people, aside from the fact, I think we're
expecting wintery pseudo wintery weather, flurries and whatever else, starting
to feel closer to November and getting closer to Thanksgiving
time than it has been lately. I mean it's in

(49:46):
the fifties now. A lot of people enduring issues with
fog on the road. A lot of the High School
of Football tournament action playoff action was going on as
I was flipping around watching some of those before I
took to the year and then after a lot of
fog that at a couple of people calling on it.
So just whatever you're doing, allow a lott to extra
time if you're driving around and you encounter the big
fog bank or whatever else is you're rolling. I saw

(50:08):
some on seventy one. I saw it on seventy five,
And there is a tendency, I think, in an automatic
response that some people have to hit the brights in
that situation because you want to see and think it'll
help you like it would with darkness. But fog it
does not act that way, So do not hit those
high beams anyway. A good bit of ground to cover
and stuff to get to appreciate you being along. I'm

(50:31):
kind of curious as we are here in sort of
navigating this life that we have and trying to figure
stuff out. The Mega Million's jackpot is over eight hundred
and forty million dollars right now, and we've all heard
those ads and so forth. You know, you got to
be in a doing it, you got to be in
adoing it. And what's bewildering to me is when people

(50:53):
do win it. So often many of them, if they
win the big prize and a short window of time,
end up worse often they were before they hit the
big jackpot. In many cases, somehow they find their way
back to a destitution or near destitution or bankrupt or
the poorhouse or whatever, even though they've had more money
than most of us could ever imagine navigating in our

(51:15):
entire life. That's a hefty sum of money, eight hundred
and forty million dollars. It won't be that cash payout,
but over a period of time if you take the annuity.
That's one of those things people like to do sometimes.
I'm just curious, what's the most you've ever won, and
how did you you know, have you had a life
changing win of money. I think the most I've ever won.

(51:39):
I'm trying to think lottery related Christmas time, and Ex's
family did something that I had not done, but I've embraced. Subsequently,
we're no longer together, but I loved her family and
I loved her, and you know, hopefully I think she's
happy and doing well. We've all moved on. But they
bought lottery tickets for everyone as stocking stuffers, and that
was a new endeavor for me. So everybody's getting together

(52:01):
around having some drinks or whatever else holiday season, and
you know, doing the scratch offs. And I'm not really
much of a lottery player, scratch off player or whatever,
but I'd gotten some, so I'm scratching off and I
don't think anyone else that was a part of this
deal at their house, won anything, and I won like
five hund five hundred bucks, which is like the most

(52:22):
anything like that. Lottery wise, I've ever won a card
game here or there. I've won more at a time
once or twice, given away more otherwise, just try to
hold my own. But I'm trying to think of it.
If I won, you know, thousands and thousands of dollars,
how I would navigate my life, let alone a big,
massive jackpot by this? So I'm wondering, one, have you

(52:43):
won big money? How have you dealt with it? If
you did win big money, what would be your plan
and how you would navigate it? I would hope to
god I didn't, you know, didn't end up? You know
in one of those cautionary tales of did you hear
about that guy he had all that dough When I
left Ohio and went to Nevada, and I worked on
the radio there, and I also worked at a car store.

(53:03):
And there was a guy I work with who I
had met once or twice and he was not working
at the same place anymore. He had quit, he walked out.
He came in with an he won like I don't
know if it was like a half million dollars but close.
It was a lot of money, one of those wins
that you get where they give you like an oversized
check as a prop so. And people showed me like

(53:26):
on their phones, they're like, oh, yeah, dude came in,
he had his big check, but he broke again. I'm like,
what are you talking about? And so they're showing me
pictures of him with the big check. And within like
three or four months, he was back on the job
in the building and navigating stuff, and he had had
a bit of a sour attitude, which is great. He
was a high performer. I mean, you know, he got results,

(53:48):
he was successful. But what he did is he came
in with the big check and basically gave everybody the
big f you. You won't see me again. I'm a
big winner, see y all later. And then within six months,
less than a year whatever it was, he was back
on the job because he had blown through all that money.
And that wasn't even like big like fat money like
we're talking about with like the big jackpot from the powerball,

(54:10):
mega million whatever. It is kind of scenario. So and
I never talked to him about it, but you know,
others would mention it and sort of like smacked him
around verbally about it because they thought it was hilarious.
But you know, he was back to work, and I
would imagine, you take a break, maybe he saved some
money or whatever else goes with it. Five one, three,
seven four nine, seven thousand, eight hundred the Big One.

(54:32):
You can talk back the iHeartRadio app. What's the most
you've ever won in general, lottery, card game, whatever it is,
money that you've come across, and did you blow through it?
How did you navigate that? I'm trying to think there
was someone else that I worked with at some point
that had won. It wasn't like the big fat lotto,

(54:53):
but I mean it was like a million dollars or
something and they kept on working, which is always what
I I thought I would do if I in fact
won the big massive jackpot. I mean, I'm lucky that
I do something that I like here and then away
from here, So I mean, I mean, I'm passionate about it.
So like I wake up, I'm excited to do the work.

(55:14):
I'm doing the work. I'm not hating it. I'm done
with the work, and I'm not miserable thinking I don't
ever want to do that crap again. I feel I'm
pretty well, you know, situated that way, but pretty blessed generally.
And I've joked about it, and I've told people, they said,
what happens if you went to like the big Lotto?
And occasionally and they used to include me in this,
but I'm not in here every day like that, you know,

(55:35):
here a few days a week, so I don't know.
If they still have the big money pool, there could
be a corporate edict we're not supposed to do that anymore.
My nightmare had always been that, you know, I had
not gotten in on the big lottery. Everybody else got
in on it, they got paid, and then I'm on
the outside looking in. You know, one of those things
where they show you all the lottery tickets that are

(55:56):
bault so everybody has the numbers, so they know where
they stand, they know how much they chipped in, what
the percentage of the winnings should be theirs, and so forth.
And you know, that can sometimes get hairy with somebody's
on vacation or somebody didn't you know, get their money
in on time, because people, you know, you start messing
with people's pockets, people get serious and they get serious fast.

(56:18):
But my own thought would always be that, I mean,
since I like what I do, I don't think i'd quit.
Would you stay on the job if you won life
changing money? You know what I mean? It might be
one of those things like I'm going to work on Thanksgiving.
I I've always since I was like sixteen years old.
Fifteen years old, I think I've worked probably the vast

(56:41):
majority of Thanksgivings and Christmases in one way or another,
rotating them. But you know, if I give people a
chance to get the day off because they've got family,
they've got kids, or whatever else, it doesn't bother me.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
I Mean.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
The only situation then is maybe I might be a
little bit quicker to be like, yeah, I don't feel
like going in today because you are in that situation.
If you've got that kind of resource behind you, you
might just go, I'm not taking this crap anymore and
just bolt. You know, I'm not one to walk out
and burn a bridge that way, And I don't want
to make life more challenging or difficult or miserable for

(57:15):
somebody else in that situation. But you hear about that
on occasion too, So I'm just kind of curious. Most
of won if it was like a changing money for
your life, if you didn't have to work anymore, would
you work? And if you've blown through it, I mean,
you know the payout And I haven't looked this up yet,
but I'm gonna guess that. You know, the LATTO now

(57:37):
for Mega millions is about eight hundred and forty three
mili cash payouts, probably somewhere around half of that, right,
maybe even if it was two thirds a third of that.
So let's just say two to three million dollars two
I'm sorry, two to three hundred million dollars. I could
survive on that pretty good. I think I could probably
live off simple interest on that and laugh maniacally. I'd

(57:58):
always have a smile on my face. But I don't
think I quit my job. Five one, three, seven, four nine,
seven thousand, eight hundred, the big one. You can pick
up the phone, give it the finger. You got us
on the iHeartRadio app, click on the microphone. You can
leave a message there. Kind of curious, what's your experience is,
or if you know somebody in that situation. That dude
in Vegas killed me and he got it was just
funny because He was sour about it because people would

(58:21):
bring it up to him. But you gotta love the
fact that you're in a situation where you can come
in and tell everybody else to go screw off. But
you're good enough at the work that when you come
back when you're ready, they take you back with open arms.
That's how you know that you were living right. But
I would hate to think I'd treat people that way
going you know, out the door, let alone having to
come back and you know it's ah, I missed the work. Really,

(58:43):
you missed the work or you ran out a dough
to Anna Ohio. And Mike was sterling on seven hundred
WLWB on after that and room for you. It's seven nine,
seven eight hundred, the big one, Mike, how are you?
I'm no complaints man? Have you have you won big money?

Speaker 9 (59:01):
Well?

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (59:01):
The biggest I ever want was actually when I when
I moved back to Chicago from from Vegas. I lived
there also.

Speaker 7 (59:10):
I was working in public safety at the time. That
particular day, I was working parking enforcement and want to
ticket out to a parking ticket out to a car
that had a city sticker with the same four numbers
as the last four of my sole security number.

Speaker 6 (59:30):
Okay, all right, so I thought that was kind of
an all and so I played the tag four for
the day.

Speaker 7 (59:37):
Wow, you know, left for my social I played it
straight box and then straight box and ended up winning.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Oh wow, so you hit. So when you do that,
you win all of those different ways, right right?

Speaker 6 (59:51):
Yeah, it was straight was straight was five grand, and
then the other two was twenty five hundred piece.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
That's not bad, quick, trand that's beautiful. How much investment
do you have to win the ten grand and then
like five bucks or ten bucks or something.

Speaker 6 (01:00:05):
It was a dollar apiece at the time. Three bucks and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
That's a good day.

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
So it was, Yeah, it was a good day. It
was a good day.

Speaker 7 (01:00:16):
And I ended up buying your car with it, you know,
and yeah it was a one year old at the time,
but yeah, I ended up doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
That's pretty good as far as the big dough.

Speaker 7 (01:00:29):
You know, if I ever won the Mega Millions or
power Ball, I would keep everything the way it is.
I would I'm sorry, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
I was just going to ask, would you tell people
or would you keep it on the download? I would
try to keep it on the download as much as possible.
Just because you hear all these stories about people coming
out of the woodwork to like suck your blood.

Speaker 7 (01:00:48):
Marrow, right exactly. I keep it on the download for sure.
The only thing I might change is I might I've
never owned a brand new car.

Speaker 6 (01:00:57):
I would buy a brand new Honda or uh, you know,
maybe a pilot passport. But you know, other than that,
I would keep everything the same.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
Keep working, I stay on the uh downlow. I you know,
kake the money in the bank and off the interest.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Yeah, yeah, and that. I mean, that's a great plan
either case. I just I can't imagine life changing money
like that. Those cautionary tales. So many of those people
end up just like broke later, which is amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
I appreciate the call man. Thank you for being a
part of the show. B what's going on house Florence.
She got a lot of fog, Oh my goodness, so true, true, true,
so much fogged.

Speaker 11 (01:01:39):
Even when I was driving, it was worse.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
And now that that's post, I can see it in
the outlining areas well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Hopefully everybody else is careful. I'm glad you got where
you were going safely, and I appreciate your calling and
listening to the show. What about you be if you
got a big money winner or what have you dealt
with with? Like a windfalls?

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
I just had a story, a couple of stories real quick.
I was traveling home and from philand from Highland Heights,
so I was on two seventy five and was very
very foggy.

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
And as I was listening to you, I thought to myself,
you know what I might be.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Able to fit into this storyline.

Speaker 8 (01:02:17):
So let me just go back to goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Uh, four years ago, five years ago, and I had
divorced my husband and we had a business that we
we he he bought me out of, so he gave
me a little bit of money. And then eventually I
was supposed to pay taxes on this and I thought,

(01:02:43):
well ahead with that, you know they'll never find me.

Speaker 9 (01:02:46):
Well they found me.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
That well, Well, I hit for fourteen thousand dollars on
a jackpot at the casino.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
There's this the what is that downtown?

Speaker 6 (01:03:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Rot?

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
So I went thousand And it was really by accident.

Speaker 9 (01:03:13):
I was playing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
I went into uh the bigger games, during the bigger, higher,
higher bet and I accidentally higher steak chest.

Speaker 5 (01:03:23):
I accidentally hit the fifteen dollars button.

Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
But I thought, oh my gosh, what have I done
well to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
Roll spending ate.

Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
Later it's ding ding ding ding ding, and it saw.

Speaker 8 (01:03:36):
Me that I won the whole grand prize nice, and
all I'm thinking myself is I'm not going to get
any of this.

Speaker 7 (01:03:46):
I'm not going to get any of this.

Speaker 8 (01:03:48):
And uh, well behold, I got none of it because of.

Speaker 9 (01:03:52):
The correct which took everything.

Speaker 6 (01:03:54):
Well, the dolment knew UH was my name.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
So now further on, now, closer to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Now, about got about thirty Just so you know, you
got about thirty seconds. I'm not trying to make you nervous.
I just want you to be able to get through
your story.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
Okay, okay, So about three months ago I was playing
at uh and I don't go to the sino a lot,
I mean maybe once every six months.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Sure, so I just feel that I have a rock
show now. But about three months ago I hit for ten.

Speaker 11 (01:04:31):
Thousand dollars at a little bit more than ten thousand
dollars at the where the Church Way casino is.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Yeah, you were just reading a couple years ago, Yes, yes, sir,
And so I received all my money minus the taxis
that I had to pay.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
On it, which is about two thousand dollars. But I
was able to the money that I had.

Speaker 6 (01:04:54):
I was able to pay off several things I owed
money on.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
I felt so wonderful I was able to get out
a little bit of a jet and I so thretty
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
That's fantastic. See, that's good. I mean, you weren't happy
about getting having them get their cut or the other cash,
but at least they found you and you had the
resources rather than you having to figure out with nothing
how you were supposed to come up with it, and
you got a ten k win after that. You're my hero,
B I appreciate you listening. I hope you have a
great night. I'm against the wall in time. You're eleven thirty.
Report coming up sooner and the later. Travis Laird more

(01:05:26):
to do before red Eye Radio. It was a Friday
night and a good one for those basketball Bearcats. They
won tonight, they got Dayton come Tuesday right here on
seven hundred w WLW seven hundred WLW. Glad you're here
at Stirling, Travis Laird about twenty one minutes and forty
eight seconds. Give you a chance to get Interactive. It's
closer at just say twenty two minutes. Another news report

(01:05:47):
there at midnight and Reddeye Radio to follow back tomorrow afternoon.
I will be following ken Brew. I don't know were
you paying attention to the news if you heard the
story about the talking about and with pictures of his
kid that was tied up in a van. Now Cincinnati
public schools are investigating as to what the situation was

(01:06:11):
at the Roberts Academy yesterday talking about his kid. Apparently
the allegation was he was acting up, didn't want to
go to some other school or something like that. So
rather than calling parents, rather than I mean, I don't know,
getting someone mental help wise involved, they apparently duct tape
the kid, which you can see a picture of him

(01:06:31):
in the back of a vehicle. It looks like in
some seat situation or whatever else around his wrist almost
it looks like his feet too, not quite hog tied,
but his legs as well as his hands, which in
today's world I think not allowed. Probably over the top,
probably was never appropriate regardless of how the kid was acting,

(01:06:53):
and maybe you get authorities involved, but then I mean,
Cincinnati police need to be involved in that on the
front end. Now in the back end, maybe so. I mean,
I'm kind of curious. I don't have any kids, no
little Sterling or sterling ats by design at this point,
but there could be an oops in the future. You
just never know. I'm looking at the point now where
I'll be like the old dad on the sideline, you know,

(01:07:15):
in the hover round when the kids, like in high
school or whatever, playing sports or something. I don't know.
It may have just made the choice that this is
the way I'm rolling at this point, which is kidless,
which is fine by me. It's okay. But I can
recall when I was a kid in the eighties being
in a situation I was paddled. I got in trouble

(01:07:36):
twice as a student once I was late three times,
at which point, then after being late three times, which
I thought my getting there and busting my ass to
be late, after handling what I had to handle beforehand
to get to school, was showing that I was trying
to get there no matter what they thought differently, and

(01:07:57):
then wanted to spend suspend me for three days because
I was for three days or late, you know, And
even as a kid then I don't think it wasn't
even I don't think it was high school. It might
have been high school, could have been middle school. It's
been a while and I can remember the argument then
that I had is, let me get this straight. So
I I could have just skipped today and would have

(01:08:18):
had no problem and not been in trouble. But I
showed up like ten minutes late or less, and you're
gonna want to kick me out for three days? They go, yeah,
that's the rules. I said, do you realize how dumb
your rules are? Which they frowned upon because I've always
questioned everything. Nothing's changed. They just give me a microphone
here at the big one now. And I don't tend
to get suspended too often this place.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
But it was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
It was bewildering and it made no sense. And I
was always raised to question authority and question everything, and
still do I have not gotten beyond that. Generally, there
was no fighting to get out of that. It just
I got a three day vacation, which made no sense.
And then I've subsequently talked to you know, school people,
and they, oh, yeah, they don't do that kind of thing. Today.

(01:09:03):
I was in elementary school at E. J. Brown in Dayton,
as a kid and was at a lunch table and
it was one of those you know, it was a
lunch table, so there's I don't know, maybe enough seats
on both sides, probably ten kids on each side of
the table. Was one of those tables that folded up
with individual seats, not benches. Some of the kids were

(01:09:24):
acting up, doing dumb ass kids stuff, and one of
the school officials, I don't know if it was a principal,
vice principal, I don't know, a dean. They got a
lot of titles, a lot of layers to the authority
in that situation, and they grabbed up everyone at the
table because some of the kids were acting up. I

(01:09:45):
was not, My friends were not, but we were at
that table and they gave us a swatter. I think
we got two swats each. I was none too happy
about that too. I wanted to object. I said, I'm
sitting here eating my lunch, and you're gonna paddle me
because you couldn't eyeball who always you know, in the
process of being bad. So we were all a part
of it. And I tell my mom that she wants

(01:10:05):
to make a big stink. It didn't go anywhere. It
didn't matter. Today, they probably would have gone to jail.
My guess, is this a duct taping or taping of
this kid in the back of the car is gonna
get weird. I'm just wondering, compared to what your kids
have gone through, or what you've gone through, what type
of punishment have you had, what has crossed the line.
It's kind of a strange situation in today's world. It's

(01:10:27):
almost a hands off thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
The idea of corporal punishment is. You know, it's unsettling
for some like some kids, some humans, some adults even
need a slight physical correction to get their attention, to
let them know maybe they ought not be doing the
dumb stuff that they're doing. On occasion. Not everyone. Some

(01:10:50):
people just need an acknowledgment. And I look a roll
of the eyes when I was a kid, and it
still happens to me. When I'm mounting about in the
grocery I will hear so someone snap their fingers in
the grocery store, and I kid you not. I flash
back to being a tiny sterling, and I knew that
if I heard the finger snap, that it was my
ass that I was doing something that I should not

(01:11:11):
have been doing, and I got to I checked myself
to come correct because I think maybe I've crossed the line.
And it still happens to me. But I can laugh
about it now when I'm running around Kroger or Walmart
or whatever it is that I'm doing the shopping, uh,
because you know, no one's really gonna punish me now
from working in the grocery store. I'm so obsessive compulsive
if I'm grabbing stuff off the shelf now, I still

(01:11:33):
front and face going back to my time at the
grocery barn. That's how sick in the head I am
about this anyway. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven,
eight hundred, the big one. Pick up the phone, give
it the finger. I'm kind of curious the iHeartRadio app.
Click the microphone. You can talk back. Leave a message
there as well out x at Sterling Radio. I'm just wondering, Uh,

(01:11:54):
this is a horrible story. My guess is in the
days ahead, we're going to uh hear more about the
story about this child, this kid and what happened to
get him into a situation where someone at this school
thought it was a good idea to somehow subdue him
with tape and try to transport him. It's very strange,

(01:12:20):
just bewildering to me that that would be somehow the
way that you like to talk about it. I mean,
I don't know, if you put a kid in a
straight jacket, what do you do with the kid who
melts down? If that's actually accurate in what happened, the
school's going to investigate, parents are going to investigate. If
you listen closely, you can almost hear the litigation in
the documents being printed and navigated to move ahead to

(01:12:43):
some type of lawsuit situation. Because we are in litigious times.
People are looking to get paid for all kinds of things,
legitimately or otherwise. And this may be a legitimate case
where somebody is going to look for a payday or
some type of penalty for somebody making a bad judgment.
Perhaps someone has to act like more of an adult
than a child who's going to act out in some

(01:13:03):
type of strange situation. I get that. I'm just wondering
what you've dealt with or what you've seen, and if
you're an educator, because a lot of times, you know,
we talk about police and you know fire and first responders,
but you want to talk about public servants. It's our
school teachers. It's those people on the front lines teaching
kids today as they always have been, to try to
get them ready to go out into the real world

(01:13:24):
and navigate the life in which we are all in
this big sandbox trying to make our way through the
world and try to make it a better place. And
they got to deal with stuff all the time, in
many cases, crazy things, outrageous things, and you know, people
like ah, they want to blame teachers. Well, you know,
this could be a crossing in the line of an
educator or an administrator. There is no question, and that'll

(01:13:47):
have to be investigated. I'm not trying to you know,
mix facts or litigate the case publicly, but it's a
way to springboard into conversation about corporal punishment, times and
how they've changed and stuff we've had to deal with
or navigate our lives. So I'm just wondering what you've
dealt with, what your kids have dealt with, and if
you're a teacher, one how times have changed, and two
what you've dealt with and how you deal with the

(01:14:09):
kid if in fact they don't want to do what
you tell them. I mean I remember from gum on
the on the blackboard or the wall in a school
when I was in elementary school, if you were chewing
gum in class, and here's the irony of this, before
I get to Ray and Bill and Room for You
at seven four nine, seven thy eight hundred, the Big
One Talk Back, the iHeartRadio app. I can remember there

(01:14:30):
was a teacher who liked to watch her soap operas.
And it was a noon to one like english or
writing class that we had in so half the class
was like super intensive and in at twelve thirty five
or twelve thirty after the news, she had a TV
that was wheeled in there that stayed there all year,
and she would watch her stories as she called them,

(01:14:52):
which was Young and the Restless. At twelve thirty and
then at one I bounced to another class. I don't
know what. I guess the first one o'clock class got
the first half of their class and watch the soap
opera or something. I don't know. I would go to
sleep or study. Times have changed, but that same teacher,
if you chew gum, would make you take a piece
of that gum in your mouth and stick it on
your nose and stand against the blackboard or the wall,

(01:15:15):
which probably would not be allowed today. To West Side Ray.
Your first was Sterling, Bill and Fort Thomas and room
for others here all before we roll at midnight to
Red Eye Radio with Sterling on seven hundred Wlwray. What's
going on.

Speaker 11 (01:15:27):
I got a guy that my wife and I graduated
with and is now an art teacher in CPS and
I told him. I said, yeah, Ohio, Ode is really
trying to get more teachers into the state. I said,
I got enough academic credits I could do that. And
all Patrick told me is don't do it. My daughter's

(01:15:48):
told me, don't do it. My wife said, don't do it.
And Patrick gave an example.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
Of current processes.

Speaker 11 (01:15:56):
If you have a kid that's ACKed enough, he said,
the rule is you don't touch them. You have to
walk with your arms out and basically guard them and
keep them and then move them to the principal's office.
This is current practice. My story is going back to
about nineteen seventy seven in the old days.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Yes, well, the mayor of Cleves was my teacher.

Speaker 6 (01:16:21):
It was a really good teacher.

Speaker 11 (01:16:22):
Everybody liked him and we were goofing off in his
classroom after hours and he was bent down the hall
getting something done. He was going to come back close
up the room, and some kids shoved me out the window. Whoa,
it was a first floor thing. It was no big deals.
Grass six foot.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
No big deal.

Speaker 11 (01:16:43):
But the problem was is I was doing my gator
arms out. My German teacher was closing the windows across
the hallway, across the park the grass from me. So
I knew I was going to get burned. And I
knew that the mayor of Kleaves was really enjoyed showing
off his paddle.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Oh yeah, And I knew I was going to have.

Speaker 11 (01:17:06):
It coming in the morning. Now this is nineteen seventy seven.
Corduroys were still coming. Then I had leather, two pair
of Jim shorts, the corduroys, and I think a pair
of Jean shorts, all staffs underneath my hands.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Preparation.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
I I know I got it coming.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
That's tremendous I did. Now did he check that? Because
I mean that you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Had to be not the only No, no, no, no,
the mayor. The mayor wasn't that active that part of it.
He just wanted to make an impression on purpose.

Speaker 6 (01:17:41):
Yeah, that was the whole point.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
Of course, my uh the teacher two years later for history,
he literally had a lawsuit against the school board and
him he was not allowed to give his watch.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
See there's a crow there. There's that fine line, you
know where you know some people would get off on it.
There was a movie Heven Help Us. It was a classic,
and they sort of showed where that line is, where
someone would be abusive, and you know, and common sense,
I think is what's been lost in general.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
You know he's a wrestling coach. Yeah, but the whole
point is.

Speaker 11 (01:18:13):
When you know you got it coming, you know you've
been bad.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
That's true. I might have been sick the other day,
is what I might have been. I would have certainly
handled the padding. But that's tremendous that that's pretty strong.
My mom tells me this story, at least she told
me when I was a kid regularly. In fact, she
told me when I got the paddling that I mentioned
just a little bit ago, it's the only time I
ever had one in school. And she said that she
had a teacher that they in the shop class, they

(01:18:39):
made a paddle for him or he made it that
had holes in it, and it hung up on the
wall right out by the door in the classroom, and
he would grab it and to go to talent somebody
when they crossed the line. But the holes were there too,
I guess accentuate the pain in the sting of the swat,
which I think today would probably be outlawed.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Though.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
What's going on. How's the fog in Fort Thomas?

Speaker 6 (01:19:01):
It's bad?

Speaker 10 (01:19:02):
Yeah, I'm on the highway, so, yeah, I got the phone.

Speaker 12 (01:19:05):
Down, so I'm talking to you to the speaker here. Yeah, definitely,
I got a couple for you. You're talking about the
paddle with.

Speaker 6 (01:19:14):
The holes in it. Yeah. Our principal in.

Speaker 12 (01:19:17):
Grade school, we're probably about the same age, just.

Speaker 6 (01:19:19):
As probably early eighties, yep or so. This principal used
this paddle, okay, in this thing.

Speaker 12 (01:19:26):
I mean I got a couple of paddlings, you know
what I mean. You would feel this for two days,
you know, that's how tough it was. And then our
English teacher, she was probably teaching.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Way too long.

Speaker 6 (01:19:42):
She's up around eighty years old.

Speaker 12 (01:19:44):
She had one of the old style paddles that had
the rubber ball that was up to it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
It was like a on a ping pong thing or something.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Or other.

Speaker 8 (01:19:54):
Yeah, she's like they're like, oh, she's too old, she
can't hurt if she paddles you.

Speaker 6 (01:19:58):
I'll tell you what. The old woman had a swinging
on her.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Now she went to work. Oh yeah, Now did you
come correct after that? Was that an attitude adjustment for you?
Or do you think that was abuse?

Speaker 6 (01:20:12):
I don't think it was abuse. I think, you know,
if they paddled kids.

Speaker 12 (01:20:16):
In school for some of the things they do now,
we might not be into shape we're in in a
lot of places.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
See, And that's I think it's a subjective thing like
some kids react to.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
My biggest thing was never wanting to disappoint my family
right or an authority figure in that regard. So my
mom telling me that I disappointed her was much worse
in me trying to explain why I did some dumb
ass thing to her, because she always wanted to be
explained why I thought it was a good idea. I
would have preferred to get the smack or the beat
down rather than the verbal assault.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Well, when we were growing.

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
Up, you got it in school and then when you
got home you got it again.

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
Yeah, you know exactly, because you were dumb enough and
did something ridiculous enough to get in trouble there, then
you'd get the double whammy. Absolutely, That's how my mom
would have been too. That's terma.

Speaker 12 (01:20:58):
No, no, none of that or anything.

Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
Now another one I got for you know, this one
was kind of crazy. I was probably a junior in
high school.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
I'm not going to say what high.

Speaker 12 (01:21:08):
School, or what teacher or nothing else, but we were
in physics class. Who takes physics in high school, but
I guess we did.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Aced.

Speaker 12 (01:21:18):
Yeah, we had tape like laptops, brand new like tables,
you know, for chemistry and stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:21:24):
They were brand new, they hadn't been three weeks old.

Speaker 12 (01:21:28):
And the teacher was the trainer for the football team,
like the uh he did all the sports medicine and
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:21:38):
Well, anyways, this kid, he was always messing up, always
messing up. And he was back in the back of it,
sitting in it like a lap chair, scratching into the
table with a we're protractors writing.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
His name in it.

Speaker 12 (01:21:51):
And this teacher went off, grabbed him, threw him in
the floor, kicked him a couple of times.

Speaker 6 (01:21:57):
I said, well, that's you know, everybody, it sounds like
you need to do something. He never did anything, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
It times just got.

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Washed under the table. Yeah, that was the craziest thing
I ever seen. But yeah, thanks for taking my call.
But yeah, I mean, you know there's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
Yeah, it is the line. You know, this is very subjective,
but I mean you got to have it. It was
Doug taping the kid, or taping the kid and put
him in the back of the car by hands and foot.
Not quite. Hog tide is probably across it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Bill.

Speaker 1 (01:22:27):
I appreciate the call me and thank you for listening

Eye Radio to follow. Thank you, Drew, great calls tonight.
