Xavier, with all this weird stuff going on, they were in the perfect place to be if this was just the start of stuff hitting the fan. They were playing at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, which, for those too young to remember, was the emergency presidential bunker during the Cold War. They were playing in a ballroom there at the Greenbrier. 00:06:25 Speaker 8: What? 00:06:26 Speaker 5: They were playing in a ballroom at the Greenbrier. 00:06:28 Speaker 9: I heard you. 00:06:28 Speaker 10: Yeah. 00:06:29 Speaker 6: Against Mississippi State. And it was all Xavier in this one. X rolled to an 81-63 victory. They improved to 4-0 on the season. I will tell

you that Yid was very happy when they lifted the ground stop. Because they were going to have to bust back. From the Greenbrier, which is a seven-hour drive. 00:06:48 Speaker 1: No, you don't want to. 00:06:49 Speaker 9: And not fun. 00:06:49 Speaker 5: No, you don't want to do that. 00:06:50 Speaker 1: UC is on the road football in Iowa State today. Is that correct? 00:06:54 Speaker 6: They are at Iowa State today. That game time, air time, 11 o'clock here on the big one. They did make it there in the air, by the way. 00:07:02 Speaker 5: They got out. 00:07:03 Speaker 6: I talked to Dan Hoard last night. They did get out just before the all. The ground stop began, so they were able to make it to their– Purdue, not as– Lucky they were. 00:07:16 Speaker 5: Actually, had to bus to Iowa. 00:07:19 Speaker 1: How about that? 11th ranked Kentucky. 00:07:20 Speaker 5: Tonight plays Florida in Lexington. 00:07:23 Speaker 10: 6-15 kickoff. 00:07:24 Speaker 6: Pre-game starts at 4 on ESPN 1530. Also today, you got Ohio State hosting Northwestern. Number 9, Indiana welcomes USC to Bloomington. And number 5, Notre Dame takes on Boston College. Of course, the biggest game of the NFL season. Tomorrow night, we'll be here in Cincinnati. As the Bengals and Steelers play on Sunday Night Football, our best Bengals coverage kicks off tomorrow at 3. Mo Egger, Austin Elmore, and Tony Pike, all live from the Holy Grail. 00:07:50 Speaker 1: Sounds fantastic. 548, you from Dayton. Russ, if you would do the honors, please put Dick on the air. I haven't got my little call screen up yet. Good morning, Dick! 00:08:02 Speaker 2: Well, good morning, Gary Jeff. How are you? 00:08:04 Speaker 1: You know, I'm okay. It's kind of weird. You know, I usually fly in to work from Southgate, Kentucky here to Kenwood. But with the ground stop, that flight was delayed. The three-minute flight was delayed. So I had to drive in. How about you? Has it affected you at all, Dick? 00:08:27 Speaker 3: No, no. 00:08:29 Speaker 2: All I know, it's gotten a little bit colder, though. 00:08:31 Speaker 11: Oh, my gosh. 00:08:32 Speaker 1: Gee. I don't think that had anything to do with the grounding of airplanes, the cold. 00:08:39 Speaker 3: No. 00:08:40 Speaker 1: No, probably not. How are things at Stony Ridge? 00:08:45 Speaker 4: Good. 00:08:45 Speaker 2: I've been, uh, helping out a lot, uh, you know, just with the activities like bingo and, uh, we've got various guests come in. Well, they had a good group yesterday. They had, they called Debray. They were sort of country and, uh, And the oldies, they were really good. 00:09:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, so when you say you help out with activities, what exactly do you do to help out, like with bingo, say? I mean, do you call numbers at bingo, or do you pass out the cards? 00:09:14 Speaker 2: No, I help with that, and then when she has music, I have to get a bunch of chairs, because we get like 40, or maybe 10, 12 people, you know, or more dance, and they come into the lobby there, and they have a piano, and it's. 00:09:32 Speaker 4: It's kind of nice. 00:09:34 Speaker 1: It sounds beautiful. It sounds idyllic. So anyway, tomorrow's the big game, Dick. The one everybody's been talking about. The one everybody's been waiting for. It's a rivalry. Well, less of a rivalry than we'd like it to be. I mean, we'd like it to be more of a rivalry if the Bengals would just win more often. The Steelers come to town tomorrow night, Dick. We need a Dick Pick score. 00:09:57 Speaker 2: 27 to 24, the Bengals will win it. 00:10:04 Speaker 1: 27 to 24? 00:10:06 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:10:06 Speaker 1: I think that's the first time you've ever picked that score as a final score in any of your predictions. 00:10:11 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:10:13 Speaker 2: Oh, have you talked to Dave lately? 00:10:16 Speaker 5: No, no. 00:10:16 Speaker 1: I haven't had the pleasure of talking to Dave recently. 00:10:21 Speaker 4: Well, as I said, hello. 00:10:23 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's tuned in. Mr. Bachrath is tuned in somewhere this morning enjoying this immensely. 00:10:31 Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to come and see your new bar sometime, buddy. 00:10:35 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That would be great. I'll be there after the show show this morning from 11 to 2. But don't try and get a flight from Dayton down to Southgate, Kentucky, because things are going to be snarled up for days. You probably wouldn't be able to get a flight till Tuesday. 00:10:53 Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah. 00:10:55 Speaker 2: I'd like to see the new place. How are you doing down there, buddy? 00:10:58 Speaker 1: That's okay. It's a bar, Dick. What can I tell you? Listen, do me a favor, brother. We're running over here. Say goodnight, Dick. 00:11:06 Speaker 2: Goodnight, Gary, Jeff. 00:11:08 Speaker 10: Have a good day. 00:11:09 Speaker 9: Okay? 00:11:09 Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you. Dick from Dayton. You know, the great thing about Dick from Dayton is that he never changes. We have all these chaotic changes. I mean, Russ Jackson removing a break where I thought there would be one and then weather. We have the ground stop of the transportation system with flights grounded, you know, for hours, flights delayed, people having to sleep in airports and the like. And all these changes, you know, that are life-interrupting, if not life-changing. But Dick is solid. He is solid. He is always the same. And it's something you can count on. And there are a lot of things you can count on. As I always like to say, there's change and there's God. Change always happens. God never does. So dickiness is obviously next to godliness or something like that. The rest, and I'm waiting on Lynette to phone in. Coming up on 5.57 on a Saturday morning. And if you think this is nuts now, just you wait. Welcome to the first official hour of the Saturday morning edition. Anything that you heard before 6 o'clock was merely a test. Now the real thing has begun. I'm your host, Dr. Gary Jeff

Walker. And that's right, Dr. Walker, please. Because all you have to do is self-identify as a doctor and people have to call you that. We've learned that from politics and elsewhere in our society in 2026. And now, thanks to my friend Mike Carr, I actually have a nameplate. He brought it to the After the Show show last week that says Dr. Gary Jeff Walker. So if you don't mind, Dr. 00:13:10 Speaker 4: Walker. 00:13:12 Speaker 1: Gary Jeff, if you're nasty. And speaking of that, it's time to talk to our friend Dave from Harrison. Good morning, Dave. 00:13:22 Speaker 10: Good morning, Doc. How are we doing? 00:13:24 Speaker 1: Doing fine. Doing fine. 00:13:26 Speaker 10: I got the epizooty. 00:13:28 Speaker 1: You got the epizooty? 00:13:29 Speaker 4: No. 00:13:30 Speaker 10: I got the epizooty bad. It's got me all over. 00:13:35 Speaker 1: Well, my prescription for you is to take two jokes... And call me in the morning. Wait a minute. You did call me in the morning. You're on your way to recovery, Dave. Isn't this fantastic? Aren't you feeling better already? 00:13:51 Speaker 10: Yes, I certainly am. 00:13:53 Speaker 1: From your phone consultation with Dr. 00:13:56 Speaker 12: Walker. 00:13:57 Speaker 2: Hey, Dave. 00:14:01 Speaker 1: Yes. Why did the chicken take a nap at noon? Because she was exhausted from the morning. Exhausted. 00:14:12 Speaker 10: I get it. 00:14:14 Speaker 1: How often do you get it? 00:14:17 Speaker 13: All the time. 00:14:18 Speaker 10: I mean, sometimes. 00:14:21 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:14:22 Speaker 9: All right. 00:14:22 Speaker 1: Well, Kathy's a brave woman. 00:14:24 Speaker 4: All right. 00:14:25 Speaker 1: So what do you got, Dave? 00:14:27 Speaker 10: Well, I was just wondering here, Jeff. 00:14:29 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:14:30 Speaker 3: If you might know, what kind of dog swims the best? 00:14:36 Speaker 1: What kind of dog swims the best, Dave? Please tell me. 00:14:40 Speaker 10: Okay. 00:14:41 Speaker 11: Well, those. 00:14:43 Speaker 9: That would be a lap dog. 00:14:49 Speaker 1: A lap dog. Okay. 00:14:51 Speaker 9: Yeah, they're pretty good swimmers. 00:14:54 Speaker 1: Number two? 00:14:54 Speaker 9: So we got the big game, you know, tomorrow night. 00:14:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bengal Steelers, you bet. 00:15:00 Speaker 13: Where do you suppose that Joe Burrow keeps his notes on his passes at? 00:15:07 Speaker 1: His notes on his passes. I don't know where, Dave. 00:15:13 Speaker 10: Um, he keeps them in a spiral notebook. 00:15:16 Speaker 1: A spiral notebook. Yes. I, I, yeah, I see where you're going there. Last chance, Dave. Last chance. 00:15:26 Speaker 11: Well, it's gravity. 00:15:28 Speaker 9: Um, I had a book fell on my head earlier. Uh, yeah, it's, I have only my shelf to blame though. 00:15:39 Speaker 1: Did you, did you say you have only your shelf to blame Dave? 00:15:43 Speaker 10: Yeah. 00:15:44 Speaker 1: That's what I thought you said. 00:15:46 Speaker 14: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of 700 WLW or his parent company, iHeart Media. If these attempts at humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now, back to our irregular programming. 00:16:09 Speaker 1: But the reverberations, the ripples are continuing this morning as of 6-14, 3,000 flights are canceled today, 1,000 delayed. And, you know, the trouble's not over yet, even though the ground stop has been lifted. To discuss this for just a couple of minutes, our aviation expert, Jay Ratliff, joins us this morning. Jay, thank you for taking time out to make this early call at 6-15. How are you doing? 00:16:38 Speaker 4: Doing well, brother. 00:16:39 Speaker 15: Anytime you need anything, you know that's going to be the issue, and Sleep's kind of been the interruption of my day for. 00:16:45 Speaker 4: The last 12 hours or so, you might imagine. No doubt. 00:16:49 Speaker 15: I'm glad that that is over, but you're right. We're going to be seeing quite a few delays that are going to be taking place. We had a lot of flights last night that were supposed to be last flights in, originating flights out this morning that never arrived, so those morning flights have been canceled. 00:17:05 Speaker 4: And we're going to be seeing for the next day, day and a half issues. 00:17:09 Speaker 15: I'm hoping by Monday we'll be back on track. But obviously, if you're flying through this weekend, make sure the airlines have a way to get a hold of you in case your itinerary is impacted due to this aftermath. 00:17:19 Speaker 1: Well, the biggest problem right now, as I understand it, Jay, is getting the flight crews to the places where they need to be to take off. And that's a logistical nightmare in a way, isn't it? 00:17:33 Speaker 13: It is. 00:17:33 Speaker 15: I'm just glad we're not closer to the end of the month, A, because pilots have a certain amount of hours they can fly a month. And when we get close to that, it becomes a little bit more problematic when you're trying to adjust those schedules back and forth. 00:17:47 Speaker 4: But look, airlines can do this. They've done it before. This wasn't something like. 00:17:53 Speaker 15: A weather event that they could plan in advance because they. 00:17:55 Speaker 4: Saw it coming. 00:17:56 Speaker 15: So there was a bit of scrambling as they tried to, you know, adjust on the fly, so to speak, to get everything squared away. And, you know, it's funny, the people that I was talking to yesterday through the day talking about, you know, the possibility. 00:18:11 Speaker 4: Of a cyber attack. They were almost, you know, just hysterical. 00:18:15 Speaker 15: And I kept thinking 400 plus airports use floppy disks. 00:18:20 Speaker 4: Still. So if anybody can hack into that, Gary Jeff, they're good. So that's why I figured. 00:18:26 Speaker 15: It was a computer

issue more than anything. Plus, if it was an attack, they wouldn't have done it yesterday. They would have waited until the busiest travel week of the year and Thanksgiving to. 00:18:35 Speaker 4: Pull it off. But I'm just glad the president has made that technology a priority. And he is moving back. 00:18:41 Speaker 15: We've got two airports, one in Alaska, one in Florida that are now digital, upgrading it big time. And hopefully other airports around the country will soon follow. And we're pointed in the right direction. 00:18:52 Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a misappropriation of these needed infrastructure funds. I mean, we had this huge multibillion dollar infrastructure bill. during the Biden administration that Congress passed, and it didn't address any of this, really. It was all about the Green New Deal. It was all about sustainable energy. It didn't do anything for the actual infrastructure that we're using now. 00:19:16 Speaker 4: No, it was bringing a lot of people back. 00:19:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was very short-sighted. And now Sean Duffy and Mark Wayne Mullen in their press conferences insisting that Congress actually do something positive And give them the money that they need. It could be as much as $ 50 billion to update these 22 centers around the country, Jay. 00:19:40 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think $ 12 billion has. 00:19:41 Speaker 15: Already been allocated, and they're after more, and they're certainly going to need it because of just how antiquated, and I'm being kind of the word antiquated, the air traffic control system is here in the United States. Because you and I have talked about it for years. The aviation industry is an integral part to the nation's economy. And it deserves the attention and the money to make sure that it operates as smoothly as possible. Plus, we've also talked about, you and I, the next 10 years, they're talking about aviation doubling. 00:20:09 Speaker 4: As far as the number of people traveling. 00:20:11 Speaker 15: So if our systems are overloaded now, buckle up, brother, if things get more busy, because this system will not tolerate it. 00:20:17 Speaker 1: Well, thankfully, Jay, my flight up I-71 from Southgate, Kentucky, was not delayed, and I made it here on time. 00:20:25 Speaker 15: Well, that three-minute flight, like you said, probably not a whole lot of traffic this. 00:20:30 Speaker 4: Morning, but I'm glad you made it okay. 00:20:32 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Jay, and you'll be around, I know, if we need you again. I appreciate your time. Absolutely, brother. Jay Ratliff with you on 700 WLW. Time for a reception report from old Radio Rick. How are the flights in and around New Point, Indiana, Ricky? 00:20:50 Speaker 8: I'm still thinking of the, hello, and thank you for flying Primus Airlines. And you'll notice the exit doors are, never mind, we've arrived. 00:21:02 Speaker 1: So how are you receiving it? I cut out a lot of your time, and I apologize for that. 00:21:08 Speaker 8: I can be more concise than usual. You're coming in five by five in a 1928 Atwater Kemp. 00:21:12 Speaker 10: What? 00:21:13 Speaker 9: 22 GRF Radio. 00:21:13 Speaker 8: 28? 00:21:15 Speaker 9: 28? 00:21:19 Speaker 10: 1T8. 00:21:19 Speaker 8: It's a TRF. It's housed in a metal cabinet, weighing in at 41 pounds. It is referred to as a bathtub model, you know, because it's metal and has a lid and is full of tubes. 00:21:31 Speaker 1: I don't know. 00:21:32 Speaker 8: But let's go to the catalog, shall we? Swing wide the door. 00:21:37 Speaker 2: Oh, great. 00:21:39 Speaker 16: What? 00:21:40 Speaker 1: What did it say? 00:21:40 Speaker 10: Swing wide the door. 00:21:45 Speaker 8: Atwater Kent 1928 electric set gives you the thrill of radio at its best. Admittedly, I have gotten the thrill of radio from Annette Water Kent, but that was due to a lack of shielding on the power transformer. Good thing I wear insulated shoes. The satisfaction of more than 1,700,000 Atwater Kent owners must impress you. Must impress you? Must was even in capital letters. 00:22:12 Speaker 1: Who wrote this? Kamala Harris? 00:22:15 Speaker 17: What? 00:22:16 Speaker 10: I don't know. 00:22:16 Speaker 18: Jeez. 00:22:17 Speaker 8: Probably Atwater can't. A trial in your own home with all the family gathered around to share the fun will prove conclusively that here is the 1928 all-electric set. Take the whole family to your home with a demo to prove the radio exists. 00:22:40 Speaker 9: Wow. 00:22:41 Speaker 8: $ 77 in 1928, which is about $ 1, 445 in today's money. And you still had to buy the tubes and the speaker and the antenna. 00:22:52 Speaker 1: So none of that came with the radio. 00:22:55 Speaker 9: Nope. 00:22:56 Speaker 1: So what exactly did you get for $ 77? 00:23:02 Speaker 8: Let's see, three transformers, the tube sockets, seven coils, three tuning condensers, two knobs, one switch. 00:23:13 Speaker 1: And that lovely cabinet. 00:23:17 Speaker 13: Yes, and the bathtub with a lid. 00:23:20 Speaker 1: What were the first three words of that catalog entry? 00:23:25 Speaker 8: Swing wide the door. 00:23:29 Speaker 1: That's great. 00:23:30 Speaker 4: I love it. 00:23:31 Speaker 1: Well, you're coming in loud and clear, sir, as always, and I appreciate it. If you'd like to know more about some of these beautiful antique radios, you can consult oldradioric at gmail.com. You can drown your sorrows, but you can just get happy. How about that? Let's travel down 52 to how now, Brown County? The lovely village of Ripley, Ohio, on the banks of the mighty Ohio River just steps away. From the brand new Front Street Riverfront development in Ripley, including a beacon that is shining your way to a paradise on earth. Brookies on Main Street and the gang is waiting. Good morning, gang. 00:24:16 Speaker 4: Good morning. 00:24:19 Speaker 5: Paradise on earth. 00:24:22 Speaker 1: Paradise on earth. That's right. So I've got to ask, do we have any special shout-outs

this morning? 00:24:35 Speaker 4: No, not that I can think of. 00:24:37 Speaker 9: Okay. 00:24:40 Speaker 1: What's that? 00:24:42 Speaker 9: Billy One Fish. 00:24:43 Speaker 1: Billy One Fish? 00:24:46 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:24:47 Speaker 1: Okay, tell me about Billy One Fish. 00:24:51 Speaker 9: We can't go there. 00:24:51 Speaker 1: Oh. 00:24:54 Speaker 9: That's Billy Leonard, the infamous Billy Leonard. 00:24:58 Speaker 1: Billy One Fish. Was that his Indian name? 00:25:08 Speaker 9: No. 00:25:09 Speaker 1: I am Billy One Fish. 00:25:11 Speaker 9: How? 00:25:13 Speaker 19: Buzz was a little delayed getting here this morning to do that flight schedule. 00:25:16 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:25:17 Speaker 4: He made it. 00:25:19 Speaker 1: Well, he's got a shorter flight than I do. He just has to go down the hill Main Street to get to Brookings. 00:25:27 Speaker 4: He just comes in on the glider. 00:25:29 Speaker 1: I would imagine so. Is anything going on at Brookies this weekend? 00:25:39 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:25:40 Speaker 19: Hey, this afternoon at 5 p.m., there is a benefit for the Caitlin Hamm and her family. 00:25:49 Speaker 4: So that begins at 5. Food, raffles, silent auction. That'll go on at that time. 00:25:55 Speaker 19: The family's in Could use some assistance there. 00:25:59 Speaker 4: Tonight, 8 o'clock, Joe Cowell's band. 00:26:02 Speaker 19: And, of course, the wonderful Queen of Hearts drawing will be on Wednesday at 7.30. And the pot now stands. 00:26:09 Speaker 14: At $ 76, 500. 00:26:10 Speaker 4: Getting up there. I mean, I. 00:26:16 Speaker 1: Wonder how long before the TV stations catch on again. You think they'll wait until it gets up to a million and a half? 00:26:22 Speaker 4: We're ready for it. 00:26:23 Speaker 9: We're ready for it now. 00:26:24 Speaker 8: Absolutely. 00:26:25 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 00:26:27 Speaker 9: Bring it on. 00:26:28 Speaker 4: All right. 00:26:28 Speaker 1: Have you got enough bar staff? I'm always available, Darren, if you need extra bartenders on Wednesday. 00:26:36 Speaker 20: That would be fun. 00:26:38 Speaker 1: It would. I'm just kind of locked up until about 7 o'clock at the crow's nest. I don't think I'd get there in time. 00:26:46 Speaker 7: All right. 00:26:47 Speaker 21: The Cincinnati Enquirer, the beavers, they had to run them out of those sewer pipes down there. On Old Riverside Drive where they're working. I saw that in the paper yesterday. The beavers have taken over. 00:26:59 Speaker 1: Was your beaver there? 00:27:01 Speaker 21: Well, he knows. He knows who they are. 00:27:04 Speaker 1: I bet he does. No, I never determined, and it's hard to tell. You say he when we refer to the beaver, but I've seen the beaver in a dress. Is the beaver a he or a she, or is it binary, Sherry? No. 00:27:20 Speaker 21: Well, it sounds like that last one you just named. 00:27:23 Speaker 9: Oh, boy. 00:27:24 Speaker 1: Whatever that is. 00:27:26 Speaker 9: Whatever that is, yeah. 00:27:29 Speaker 21: He's got his Bengals outfit on right now, so it could. 00:27:32 Speaker 4: Be either or. 00:27:33 Speaker 1: What's the weather rock telling you? 00:27:37 Speaker 21: Oh, the weather rock. Well, now I haven't checked the weather rock. I think it's behind Brookies still, isn't it? 00:27:42 Speaker 9: Yes, it is. 00:27:43 Speaker 10: Yeah, in the. 00:27:44 Speaker 21: So I haven't checked it lately, but I think we're going to warm up a little bit maybe next week, just a little bit. But I think we're doing good this year so far. 00:27:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been very blessed, yes, with warm weather. 00:27:56 Speaker 21: Yes, we have, and I wish we could bring it out somewhere else, but I don't think we can put it on the landing. 00:28:02 Speaker 4: No, not now. 00:28:06 Speaker 1: So before, for people, people have actually driven because they heard you guys on the air, and they've driven to Ripley to look for the weather rock. I know this. 00:28:17 Speaker 10: Okay. 00:28:17 Speaker 1: It used to be hung kind of close to snappers. 00:28:22 Speaker 4: Real close. 00:28:24 Speaker 1: On the riverfront, right? Right. And then somebody either vandalized or damaged the weather rock. or the wind took it down or something, and then so the weather rock had to move. 00:28:38 Speaker 21: Yeah, it had to move, and then when they started construction, we just had to take it away from there for right now. 00:28:44 Speaker 9: Buzz was the original engineer on that project. 00:28:46 Speaker 10: That's right. 00:28:47 Speaker 21: That's why it fell over. 00:28:49 Speaker 12: That's why it fell over. 00:28:53 Speaker 1: That was obviously during one of his more sober engineering moments. All right, guys. Well, listen, it's always great to talk to you. 5 o'clock again this afternoon. Doug, you talked about that special benefit for whom? 00:29:08 Speaker 4: Yes. For Caitlin, Ham, and family. 00:29:12 Speaker 1: Okay. And that'll be at 5 o'clock at Brookies there on Main Street in Ripley. It's 642. On a Saturday morning, why blink 182, you would ask? And I would say because it's their drummer, Travis Parker's birthday today. So happy birthday, Travis. Thank you. We can go away. 00:29:34 Speaker 10: Now. 00:29:36 Speaker 1: It's time for a new possible recurring segment on the Saturday Morning Edition. A visit from the Spotted Owl, who's in a tin can somewhere on the other side of Cleves. Good morning, Spotted Owl. How are you? 00:29:54 Speaker 22: Good morning from the west side of the Great Miami River. 00:29:57 Speaker 1: Okay, fantastic. What's going on there? 00:30:01 Speaker 9: Uh, nice clear skies this morning. 00:30:03 Speaker 22: My cat ran out when I put my flag out, he's back inside. I saw the, uh, solar, solar light come back on the porch, knew he was back on the porch and he ran right back in. 00:30:13 Speaker 9: I guess it's a little chilly point. 00:30:15 Speaker 1: Well, you know, that cats do come with a fur coat unless they're, uh, unless they're

shaved like your Chihuahua, you have a Chihuahua as well as a tuxedo cat. 00:30:26 Speaker 9: Yes, and Gizzy, the Chihuahua, is, I guess, oh, here she comes. She heard her name. 00:30:34 Speaker 1: Yeah, Gizzy was trying to interfere with your call last weekend. 00:30:38 Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, she's right now in between the bedroom and the living room trying to check out what the heck is going on. 00:30:47 Speaker 9: She heard her name mentioned. 00:30:49 Speaker 1: Right, exactly. I understand you've got two cats. One you claim is yours, one that belongs to someone else, and the cats get into it, and Gizzy, the chihuahua, tries to referee the cats when they get into an altercation. Is this correct? 00:31:04 Speaker 9: Yes, sir. That seems to be the case. But right now, she's not happy. She's up early. She's not a morning dog. She prefers to stay under the covers. 00:31:15 Speaker 1: All right, so you're not going to Connersville anytime soon, are you? 00:31:20 Speaker 9: Maybe next weekend. 00:31:22 Speaker 1: Okay. Al has been helping the folks in Connersville. The train there, the train tracks, got washed out from the incredible flooding that occurred during the monsoon season. What was that, a month and a half ago or whatever, Al? 00:31:38 Speaker 13: A month ago, yes. 00:31:40 Speaker 1: About a month ago. 00:31:40 Speaker 9: Back in September. 00:31:41 Speaker 1: Okay. But anyway, one other thing to report. Yeah. 00:31:47 Speaker 9: The shutdown that happened yesterday. 00:31:49 Speaker 13: Yes. 00:31:49 Speaker 9: It had no effect on trains. 00:31:52 Speaker 1: That is correct. 00:31:55 Speaker 9: Al is crazy. 00:31:58 Speaker 1: Al is a train aficionado. He even has a little train set. Are you going to set that back up now? 00:32:05 Speaker 9: Yeah, I've got to clean it up. 00:32:07 Speaker 22: There's a bunch of stuff on it, and I've got to clean it off so I can put the trains back on the tracks and run them. 00:32:12 Speaker 1: That's very nice. I was watching, I think it was Local 12 the other morning, and they were at the museum center where they have the huge train set there. And, Al, I've got to tell you, it is an amazing train set. and, and little town that used to be in the CG and E building, I guess, down on Ford street. And now it's the museum center. And Al, as you are my witness, at least I thought I saw a mini owl in the town that the train was going around and a little Mercedes in front of one of the houses. Did you, did you yourself model for that? 00:33:01 Speaker 9: Not that I'm aware of, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised. 00:33:05 Speaker 1: You are ubiquitous. You're everywhere, including in miniature. Al, it's a pleasure to hear from you this morning. Thank you. 00:33:14 Speaker 22: I'm very glad to hear you. 00:33:18 Speaker 4: All right. 00:33:18 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see you. What's that? 00:33:23 Speaker 9: It's great to see you on the radio. 00:33:25 Speaker 11: Yes. 00:33:25 Speaker 1: Good to see you, too. 00:33:26 Speaker 2: Al? 00:33:28 Speaker 1: Who has a face only a mother could love if that mother had astigmatism. Our brother Ray Scott has chimed in this morning from Loveland. Good morning, Brother Ray. 00:33:38 Speaker 9: Good morning, Dr. 00:33:39 Speaker 1: Walker. 00:33:41 Speaker 3: That was a nice little sundial he gave you there. Nice to see you. 00:33:46 Speaker 1: On the radio. Sometimes he comes to visit me at my other job, and when he leaves, I said, I'll see you on the radio. So that's kind of become our thing. 00:33:58 Speaker 10: Nice. 00:34:00 Speaker 3: You know, it's rather interesting. Well, there are several topics, but don't you find it ironic that the one government agency, I guess, that just refuses to go off budget, and as Jay said earlier, 400 airports are using floppy disks, which, you know, maybe that's quiet genius. I don't know, because it's impenetrable, you. 00:34:25 Speaker 4: Know, for hackers. But isn't it ironic? 00:34:29 Speaker 3: Is this the one government agency that drew the line and said, no waste, we're going to make budget come hell or high water. We don't care what it takes. They've taken our stand with the FAA. Is that what's going on? 00:34:41 Speaker 1: Maybe so. Maybe so. But I don't know. After the press conference last night when Sean Duffy said, we need another $ 50 billion like now. So maybe they're going to break away from their– From their frugality and their watching of taxpayer dollars. But you know what? When that many taxpayers are affected, Ray, at one fell swoop because of just a lack of infrastructure and modernization, maybe it's time to spend some money where the money should be spent instead of all these other places. 00:35:19 Speaker 10: Exactly. 00:35:20 Speaker 3: And all kidding aside, I'm quite sure that our president... several years ago mentioned this very subject. He'll never get credit for it, but, you know, I, I don't know. I just find it amazing. I can't, you know, we, well, we, we can't let a crisis go to waste either. You know, this, this is a crisis. Then we should get the money now, right? 00:35:45 Speaker 1: Well, as someone who does not fly, I mean, the last time, the last time I flew was 2021. When Krista 2.0 and I flew down to West Palm Beach to visit my youngest brother in Jupiter, Florida, and then flew back, obviously. But, I mean, I see a story like this, and I understand how it affects so many different aspects of our society, from people trying to get to see relatives that are perhaps sick or on their deathbed, to go visit grandma. to do any number of things for business and the like, I think this is probably one of those things that should have been addressed years ago. On the other hand, as you mentioned, a lot of these air traffic centers, 22 around the country where everything was grounded yesterday for about four and a half hours, causing this backup this weekend. But maybe having, as you kind of hinted at the beginning of your conversation, Ray,

maybe having this on floppy disks and CD-ROMs is something that the hackers cannot penetrate and cause a bigger problem. 00:37:05 Speaker 9: You know? 00:37:06 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. 00:37:09 Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to ask Dave Hatterman. I'll pull out some of my old PCs down in the basement that have dust on them and start using those and not have to worry about my ID being stolen. I don't know. 00:37:20 Speaker 5: Maybe. 00:37:22 Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you mentioned Dave Hatter. I will talk to Mr. Hatter here in just about 20 minutes on the latest on the Microsoft outage and anything he can proffer or offer on the grounded flights. It's always a pleasure to talk to you, my friend. Thank you so much for being a part of the show and a part of my life. 00:37:44 Speaker 10: God bless you, brother. Take care. 00:37:45 Speaker 4: All right. 00:37:45 Speaker 1: Ray Scott from Loveland. It's the Saturday morning edition. 00:37:49 Speaker 9: Dr. 00:37:50 Speaker 1: Walker in the house and so much more to come, including Jim LaBarbera, the music professor in rock and roll archaeology, right around 735 this morning. 00:38:00 Speaker 17: Dr. 00:38:00 Speaker 1: Walker is back in, even though Elvis has left the building. Coming up on seven minutes after the hour on this Saturday morning, the flights have resumed around the country as best they can. I wonder if I wonder how many people actually had to pay $ 1, 000 or $ 2, 000 to stay at a hotel in New York last night because of the grounded flights. It was a crazy, crazy day on Friday the 13th. They had the Microsoft outage earlier in the week. They had the riverboat that was crashed into by a barge on the Mississippi down in Louisiana. And then the nationwide ground stoppage, pretty nuts. And it's Saturday. What will be the next crisis? And are you prepared for it? That's the question. I got a guy who's always prepared to talk on Saturday morning, except when he's in Assisi, Italy, on a pilgrimage. But he is back now, our environmental engineer. Steve Schulte joins us. Good morning, Mr. Schulte. 00:39:14 Speaker 2: Good morning, Dr. 00:39:15 Speaker 13: Gary Jeff Walker. 00:39:17 Speaker 1: So how was Assisi? 00:39:20 Speaker 13: Well, actually, that was our last week. We had four days in Rome, got to see the Pope in person. 00:39:27 Speaker 4: Oh, wow. 00:39:28 Speaker 9: Yep, Assisi. 00:39:30 Speaker 13: And Florence and a couple other towns in between. So a great pilgrimage. The only thing I brought back, quite honestly, was a Roman cold. 00:39:39 Speaker 11: Oh, no. 00:39:42 Speaker 1: That's more exotic than an American cold, isn't it? 00:39:48 Speaker 13: It's been a doozy, I'll tell you. 00:39:51 Speaker 1: This morning, we're talking about PFAs and the problem with calling everything a PFA. What do you got? 00:39:59 Speaker 13: Science Mike is going to love this. This comes from the American Council of Science and Health, ACSH.org. So if you want more information about this, you go into the search bar and put in PFAS. So the article is the problem with calling everything PFAS. 00:40:20 Speaker 4: Whatever. 00:40:22 Speaker 13: Politics models the scientific question. And it's a cohort of environmental, I call them chicken little groups, has run a panic-inducing campaign against a remarkably useful class of chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. 00:40:37 Speaker 9: So don't worry about it. 00:40:38 Speaker 10: P-F-A-S. 00:40:40 Speaker 1: Okay. 00:40:42 Speaker 13: Erroneously, forever chemicals, they're used for everything from firefighting foams and critical medical devices. I mean, you name it, they're in there. And there's no evidence they cause a risk to public health. But once again, scare monitoring overshoots. 00:40:58 Speaker 4: The evidence by a mile. 00:41:00 Speaker 13: And I'm willing to cover two points because this article goes through a lot of stuff. 00:41:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. We only have time for two points. So go ahead. 00:41:07 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:41:08 Speaker 13: One is, what is a PFAS? So this is chemicals that have a fluorine molecule in it and a carbon. So that kind of gives you an idea. 00:41:19 Speaker 9: Just keep it interesting. 00:41:21 Speaker 13: The Biden administration EPA ruled that if you only have one carbon in this compound, it's not a PFAS under the Toxic Substances Corral Act. And the Trump administration is using the same precedent. So here we've got two different politically opposite administrations. saying the same thing. Now, what does that mean? Well, if you say it's only one, you need to have two or more carbons to be a PFAS. You only have about 268 individual compounds to look at. However, there's this NGO out there that you, Gary Jeff, that you love, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Boy, that doesn't even sound like something in the. 00:42:06 Speaker 9: Health, does it? 00:42:07 Speaker 13: But anyway, in 2021, they said, well, if you have even one carbon and fluorine atom, you're a PFAS. So we go from 268 compounds to over 7 million. 00:42:25 Speaker 4: So that's one problem. 00:42:28 Speaker 13: The other problem is, well, where did they come out with this forever chemical thing about it? Now, Gary, Jeff, you and I said, well, if you hear that, well, the assumption would be that I guess somebody did a great, you know, through the scientific method and study, they went through and they determined that these chemicals don't degrade. Well, they do degrade, but here's where it came from. It came from a 2018 Washington Post editorial by a Joseph Allen assistant professor at Harvard School of Public Health, and he said, quote, these chemicals Toxic chemicals are everywhere, even in your body. They will never go away. Well, Gary Gaff, they do. They're not easy to degrade, but they do. One of the chemicals called PFOA has a half-life. That means, you know, how much time does it take for half of that to be

broken down? It has a half-life in the environment of about six months and in our body 2.7 years. So it does break down, not very rapidly, but they do break down. The The bottom line of using this forever chemical thing is a strategy to scare the public and create urgency around chemicals previously known only to eggheads like science mice. 00:43:44 Speaker 1: Or to bolster NGOs that only just steal money from people. Thank you, Steve. I appreciate it. And by the way, wildfires are declining. Must be the global warming. We'll have Dave Hatter coming up next and Tom Davis Diaries on the way on the Saturday morning edition on 700 WLW. But it really messed a lot of people. It messed me up when it occurred earlier this past week. To talk about that and maybe a few other cyber things this Saturday morning, Dave Hatter, who was your name was mentioned earlier, Dave. So I figured we needed to call. We put out the bat signal and here you are. Good morning. 00:44:29 Speaker 8: Good morning, Gary Jeff. 00:44:30 Speaker 16: I appreciate you having me on as always. 00:44:32 Speaker 1: Yes, sir. There's a report I just saw from the Epoch Times. And it's titled Why Most Americans Couldn't Last 72 Hours in an Emergency. And it's pretty stark as far as. It describes a cyber specialist who came home from a conference shaken enough to warn people close to him to keep 90 days of provisions for every member of their household. Would you recommend same? 00:45:04 Speaker 16: Well, 90 days might be a lot, but I will say this, Gary Jeff. When you look around at what I would describe as the fragility of our now extremely digital, extremely interconnected, extremely interdependent society. You mentioned the Microsoft outage. I know we'll come back to that. I have a lot of concerns. And I think, you know, you don't have to look any further than FEMA and their ready.gov site to see, you know, the government has been telling people they should have at least 72 hours of supplies on hand just to deal with natural disasters and that sort of thing. Now, so 72 hours, that's essentially three days, right? That gets you to a concept known as day four. So there's an organization, and there are others out there, but I'm familiar with these guys, the Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience, FIR, Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience. You can look them up online. This is a lot of former military people and that sort of folks. And it's actually a spinoff of an organization called InfraGard. InfraGard is a public-private partnership with the FBI geared around protecting critical infrastructure, sharing information, both from private sector people like me and the FBI, have actually belonged to the local Cincinnati InfraGard chapter. FUR, Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience, spun off of that. And yes, they are deep into this idea of how do we build a society that's resilient because you increasingly see cyber attacks that impact the physical world, like the freezers and so forth in France. You've seen DHS, FBI, others warn about adversarial nation states and the telecom grid and the electrical grid and the idea that this stuff gets shut off far as far as deep into this and they have been they introduced a concept i hadn't heard before called day four the idea that after that 72 hour period assuming you're all prepared you're good to go you got your own stuff what happens in the event of a serious disaster on day four when no one's coming fema's not coming national guard's not coming because the grid is down or whatever And I know this sounds far-fetched to people, Gary Jeff, but it doesn't have to be a cyber attack. You know, I'd encourage all your listeners, look into the Carrington event. I don't know if you and I have talked about that before. 00:47:12 Speaker 9: I don't remember. 00:47:13 Speaker 16: But in 1859, a solar flare hit the Earth, and it was so strong, it actually set telegraph wires on fire and shocked telegraph operators. This is really very well documented. Smith-Semien has a very interesting article on it. 00:47:26 Speaker 1: Now, think about that. 00:47:27 Speaker 16: You know, the only thing really of any sort of real technical nature then was the telegraph system. Imagine a solar flare like that, what it would do to today's technology. Then you get into EMP, electromagnetic pulse. I encourage your listeners to look into Starfish Prime. This was a nuclear test the U.S. government did back in the 60s. And there are folks who have been warning about EMP for a long time. If you set off low-grade nuclear weapons at the right height, you don't even have to care whether the blast doesn't damage or not. 00:47:59 Speaker 9: On the ground. 00:47:59 Speaker 16: The blast itself creates three types of electromagnetic waves that will basically fry every piece of electronics for hundreds of miles, possibly across the continental United States. This is all in congressional testimony. Everything I'm telling you is easily verifiable. So it doesn't have to be a cyber attack, although that's the thing I'm personally most concerned about. And certainly having some supplies, being prepared, When you see the things we went through this week, FAA. 00:48:27 Speaker 1: Had this outage. 00:48:28 Speaker 4: Microsoft had this outage. 00:48:30 Speaker 16: Our society is incredibly interconnected now, heavily reliant on computers and digital technology, much more so than even 20 years ago or when I was a kid. And the risk just keeps going up because, in my opinion, as a society, as a government, we are not doing the right things to secure this stuff. So, again, 90 days might be a stretch, probably going to be out of reach for most people. But certainly a week, two weeks, 30 days does not seem unreasonable to me. 00:49:00 Speaker 9: All right. 00:49:01 Speaker 1: Running kind of short on time. Workday is now out. That's how I get paid through iHeartMedia. Workday is out today, a day after the ground stop, and a day after the

Microsoft outage. 00:49:18 Speaker 9: Well, you're just making my point, Ken. 00:49:20 Speaker 7: Jeff. 00:49:20 Speaker 16: And interestingly enough, this weekend is Queen City Con. It's a hacker conference here in town. I was there yesterday. I'm going down there today to give a speech on the abysmal state of software security. Sort of the stuff we're talking about today. So, I mean, the Microsoft thing was all the talk yesterday. The FAA thing happened so late in the day that the conference was mostly over for the day. It's interesting and concerning to me, and I wish we would get a lot more serious about this and, frankly, slow all of this technology down and make sure that what we're building is robust and resilient as opposed to something that can just go out and cause chaos. I mean, think of what the cost is going to be in this Microsoft adage, Gary Jeff, just in lost productivity. Almost 20 hours. 00:50:03 Speaker 11: I mean, I. 00:50:04 Speaker 16: I have several Microsoft accounts. All of them were down for roughly 20 hours. 00:50:08 Speaker 1: That's my basic email. That's the email I use is Microsoft Outlook. And now Workday, I may not get paid for this. Now, I mean, there could be arguments about whether I should get paid for this show. But I'm just telling you, this will be a great day. I know what the impact will be for me cost-wise. Dave Hatter, thank you so much for your time this morning. It's great to talk to you as always. Maybe we'll re-up on a nightcap coming up next week if you're available, okay? 00:50:42 Speaker 12: Absolutely. 00:50:43 Speaker 16: Always a pleasure, and I'll talk to you soon, and I'll let you know how the conference goes. 00:50:47 Speaker 11: All right. 00:50:48 Speaker 1: Time for the Tom Davis Diaries, or... Diaries of a madman. And that madman is here, our correspondent with wild, wacky stories from around the world and around the country, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Davis. 00:51:02 Speaker 5: Good morning, Gary Jeff. 00:51:03 Speaker 1: This week. 00:51:04 Speaker 23: I have a cold. And also, aliens are landing in Peru. But first, a 21-year-old man in London injured himself while getting ready for work. Samuel Johnson was trying to get ready when a wet towel wrapped around his head got snagged on something and yanked on his neck. Sam says he heard a crack, and by the end of the day, the pain was unbearable. He called his mom to take him to the hospital. Doctors say he had a pinched nerve and sent him home with pain pills. A crazy couple in Spain set a Guinness World Record for running together. Jessica and Paolo were handcuffed together while they ran 62 miles. And this wasn't flat ground. The course was designed by the Spanish army and went up and over a mountain. Despite the difficulty, the couple did set a new record. Meanwhile, there's a woman getting famous for punching herself in the face. 18-year-old Tallulah Robertson is going viral for hitting herself to reposition her own jaw. She has a condition in which her joints are unstable, so she has to deal with hundreds of painful dislocations every year. She says it's tough to deal with, especially when it comes to eating. She sometimes has to set her jaw just to chew. 00:52:17 Speaker 17: Oh. 00:52:18 Speaker 23: And finally, villagers in Peru say they're being invaded by aliens. They say the visitors are seven feet tall, and they have nicknamed them the Face Peelers. According to witnesses, the aliens have large heads, yellow eyes, and are immune to. 00:52:33 Speaker 1: Their hunting weapons. 00:52:34 Speaker 23: They are convinced the Face Peelers feast on human faces, fat, and organs. Villagers are speaking out in hopes that the military will send soldiers to help them fight off the invasion. And just to be clear, this is a real headline. Tough times for the Peruvian villager. Next week, college professor scams woman out of $ 83, 000 on Christian Mingle. 00:52:55 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. And the call letters WLW. Not WLW. But it's WLW. Just so you know. 00:53:24 Speaker 9: Dr. 00:53:25 Speaker 1: Walker is. 00:53:28 Speaker 10: In. 00:53:28 Speaker 1: You know who else is in? Science Mike is in. Science Mike is always in. You know, other fads may change and come and go. But Science Mike is always in. Especially a little after 8 on a Saturday morning. A Science Minute. Science Mike, W-L-W. Can you say it properly? 00:53:53 Speaker 10: W-L-W. 00:53:56 Speaker 9: It's W. W. 00:53:59 Speaker 1: No, not W. Dubba is not correct. It's not W. It's W. W. W-W-U. 00:54:10 Speaker 9: W-L-W. 00:54:11 Speaker 1: So what's going on this morning? 00:54:14 Speaker 7: Allow me just one lead in. I never do this, but I got to do this for today. 00:54:18 Speaker 10: Hold on. 00:54:18 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:54:19 Speaker 9: Okay. I'm done. Thank you. 00:54:21 Speaker 4: All right. 00:54:22 Speaker 17: Go ahead. 00:54:23 Speaker 4: Top ten. 00:54:23 Speaker 9: Let's get to it. 00:54:24 Speaker 13: The top ten canned foods to. 00:54:25 Speaker 4: Purchase if you want to stockpile. 00:54:42 Speaker 7: Not in any order, Gary Jeff, but we're going to go diced tomatoes, corn, green beans, baked beans, tuna in oil, chili with beans, canned roast beef, as opposed to non-canned roast beef, I guess. Yeah. 00:55:01 Speaker 10: Beef stew. Yeah. 00:55:03 Speaker 7: Chunk chicken breast and a tie for number 10. And I apologize for this. However, spam and or my wife's meatloaf. The dessert would be a Twinkie. 00:55:16 Speaker 1: Spam and or your wife's meatloaf? 00:55:19 Speaker 9: Yes, yes. 00:55:21 Speaker 1: Right there. 00:55:22 Speaker 7: And a couple things to note here. Make sure you write the date on the can you purchased it and rotate your stock. Meat, poultry, and vegetables, cans last about a year and a half. The tomatoes, fruits, the pickled vegetables, they last about 12 to 18 months. Rotate your stock. Make sure you've got a can opener. If you don't have a can opener, you might as well not buy any

cans. 00:55:47 Speaker 1: My friend in Oak Harbor, Ohio, Dan Jensen, we call him Farmer Dan, had a can of peaches degrade in his cabinet that had been there. The peaches ate right through the can. 00:56:02 Speaker 11: Yes, the acid will leap right through the can. 00:56:04 Speaker 4: It's amazing. 00:56:07 Speaker 7: Don't eat those bulging cans. They're bulging for a reason there. All right. 00:56:14 Speaker 9: I hope Rick Green has a good. 00:56:17 Speaker 1: He'll have a good word of God Bible quote, I'm sure. All right, Science Mike, thank you. 00:56:25 Speaker 7: We have work day at work also. 00:56:27 Speaker 1: Oh, geez. Yeah, they better get that fixed because I'm going to get paid for this one way or the other. The Lady Lynette is standing by. And let's go to Brother Rick Green with probably my favorite part of the show, maybe. No, without question. There's so much weirdness and chaos in this world. I like a little grounding. I like to be positive wherever possible, and we do that by bringing you the Word of God through my brother Rick Green every Saturday morning. Good morning, Brother Rick. How are you? 00:57:22 Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Gary, Jeff. 00:57:24 Speaker 11: I just have to touch on what you just said, the chaos and stuff in the world. Gary, you just remind me why now, 14 years, I don't look at no news or no media. I just don't miss it one bit. 00:57:39 Speaker 1: Well, that would include us. 00:57:44 Speaker 10: Father, I know you have to, Gary. 00:57:46 Speaker 9: You have to. 00:57:47 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:57:48 Speaker 11: We have a good one today. We have 1 Chronicles chapter 16, verse 24. 00:57:54 Speaker 1: All right. 00:57:56 Speaker 11: It says, declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all people. 00:58:03 Speaker 10: Amen. 00:58:05 Speaker 9: Read it. 00:58:05 Speaker 11: Declare his name. 00:58:06 Speaker 1: Declare his name. 00:58:10 Speaker 11: It says, declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all people. 00:58:18 Speaker 10: Amen. 00:58:19 Speaker 1: Amen, indeed. God is great. 00:58:24 Speaker 13: All the time. 00:58:25 Speaker 1: Praise great. 00:58:25 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:58:26 Speaker 1: You know what? There are two constants in life, and I was mentioning this earlier. There's change and there's God. And the only difference between the two is that God never changes. 00:58:36 Speaker 11: Amen. 00:58:37 Speaker 4: I love that. 00:58:38 Speaker 9: I'm at the ball that year. 00:58:39 Speaker 4: I like that. 00:58:40 Speaker 1: You may. It is yours, my brother. Have a blessed rest of the weekend and enjoy, and now you can tune out again. Okay? 00:58:49 Speaker 4: All right. 00:58:50 Speaker 9: Have a blessed day. 00:58:51 Speaker 1: You too. Rick Green this morning. And the lady, Lynette. Good morning, Lynette. 00:58:55 Speaker 18: Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I thank you, Jesus. I thank you, Lord. 00:59:10 Speaker 4: Lord. 00:59:10 Speaker 17: Oh, you brought

me, yes, you brought me such a mighty, a mighty long way, a mighty long way. You've been my mother. You've been my father. You've been my doctor, my lawyer, too. 00:59:36 Speaker 10: Oh, you brought me such a. 00:59:40 Speaker 17: Mighty, a mighty love. 00:59:49 Speaker 10: Amen. 00:59:51 Speaker 1: Good morning, sweetheart. How are you? 00:59:53 Speaker 10: I'm fine, but the phone's gone crazy. 00:59:58 Speaker 1: Well, it's probably part of a cyber attack, maybe. Maybe it's a cyber attack. 01:00:04 Speaker 10: It came on my phone three days ago, and I thought, what is he talking about? I know now. It's arrived. 01:00:13 Speaker 1: What has arrived? 01:00:15 Speaker 10: This cyber attack. 01:00:18 Speaker 1: Ah, okay. 01:00:18 Speaker 10: Did you hear me okay? Because it sounds terrible on this end. 01:00:22 Speaker 1: Well, it's just because I sound terrible. That's why I've only been on the radio for 46 years. 01:00:27 Speaker 10: No, no, baby. 01:00:28 Speaker 1: That's what it is. 01:00:28 Speaker 10: It's like electronic. You're somewhere. 01:00:31 Speaker 1: You sound great on this end. 01:00:34 Speaker 10: As they say, thank you, Jesus. 01:00:36 Speaker 2: Amen. 01:00:37 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus. 01:00:39 Speaker 10: But this phone was working good until about 2 o'clock in the morning. It started chattering like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, shut up. I got to call Gary Jeff. 01:00:50 Speaker 1: So your phone was chattering to you? 01:00:54 Speaker 10: Yeah, we're just talking. Huh. That's why I know something's going on in the atmosphere beyond my control and yours and ours. 01:01:04 Speaker 1: Do you think it's the Boone County air or is it something else? 01:01:08 Speaker 10: No, it's bigger than Boone County, darling. 01:01:13 Speaker 1: Well, it's great. 01:01:14 Speaker 10: You know, like a satellite, something, something. Going on to us little cheap phones of America. 01:01:21 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, and really expensive computers around America and really expensive phones. Everything has been just foobar. 01:01:31 Speaker 10: That's terrible. 01:01:33 Speaker 1: Yes, it is. 01:01:35 Speaker 10: I just think about it. What is it like? It's not a 9-11. 01:01:38 Speaker 17: It's 11, 13, 26. 01:01:38 Speaker 20: Yes, ma'am. 01:01:39 Speaker 10: A day that will live in infamy. 01:01:47 Speaker 2: Yeah. 01:01:48 Speaker 1: All right, baby. 01:01:48 Speaker 10: Well, like I say, we got to pray and pray for our bingos. I love you, America. Over and out. 01:01:55 Speaker 1: I love you, too, Lynette. Over and out. Roger that. It's time for Give Through, Wally. Getting a kick out of duck hunting? Cincinnati lawyer goes duck hunting in the great Miami River Valley. Well, he's only out in the field about a half an hour. He shoots and drops a bird, but it falls into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer is climbing over the fence, an elderly farmer drives up on his tractor, asking what he was doing. And the attorney says, I shot a duck, it fell in the field, and I'm going to retrieve it. The old farmer says, this is my property, son, and you're not coming over here. Now, the indignant lawyer says, Listen, I'm one of the best trial attorneys in Cincinnati. You probably heard my name. And if you don't let me get that duck, I'm going to sue you and take everything you own, old man. The farmer smiles and says, apparently you don't know how we settle disputes around here. We settle disagreements with the three-kick rule. The lawyer asks, what's the three-kick rule? He said, well. 01:03:01 Speaker 1: Because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first. I kick you three times, and then you kick me three times, and so on back and forth until somebody gives up. The attorney quickly assesses the situation, figures he could easily take the old codger. He agrees to abide by the local custom of the three-kick rule. The farmer slowly dismounts from his tractor, walks up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and drops him to his knees. The second kick in his stomach sends the lawyer's last meal gushing out of his mouth. The lawyer's on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end sends him face-first into a fresh cow patty. The lawyer summons every bit of his will and remaining strength and slowly staggers to his feet, wiping his face with the arm of his jacket. He says, okay, old man, now it's my turn. The old farmer smiles and says, nah, I give up. You can have the duck. Run DMC. Their cover of Aerosmith's Walk This Way. As we bring you some sports. Like this. 01:04:19 Speaker 4: Hey, Mo. 01:04:21 Speaker 7: What's up? 01:04:21 Speaker 20: I'm just jamming a little Run DMC this morning. 01:04:26 Speaker 4: How about that? 01:04:27 Speaker 6: I love it. 01:04:28 Speaker 12: I love it. 01:04:29 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:04:30 Speaker 1: So, I know that you have been I've seen the Instagram reels and the other ads for OTR cigars. But today, there is a special kind of reunion that harkens back to two years ago, more than two years ago, when Strauss Tobacconist downtown on Walnut Street closed. And they're inviting the past denizens of that establishment, and I believe... The retired owner is going to be there as well at Arnold's Bar in Covington on Pike Street at 4 o'clock this afternoon. And some of the folks that frequented Strauss Tobacconist when it was down there on Walnut Street are going to be kind of getting back together and reminiscing a little bit. Did you ever head into Strauss back when it was open downtown? 01:05:38 Speaker 12: I did. 01:05:39 Speaker 24: And the first time I ever walked in, there's Andy Furman and there's Oscar Robertson. 01:05:45 Speaker 15: Yeah. 01:05:45 Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? 01:05:46 Speaker 13: Yeah. 01:05:47 Speaker 12: Pretty cool. 01:05:48 Speaker 24: Yeah, it's neat. It's neat. Yeah, I frequented that spot often when I lived downtown.

01:05:54 Speaker 12: It was great. Good cigar store. Always characters in there. 01:05:59 Speaker 24: Obviously, Andy was there all the time. 01:06:03 Speaker 1: Jeff Ruby was famously there. 01:06:04 Speaker 12: He was there. No, that was a. 01:06:07 Speaker 1: Very cool spot. Michael Plummer, the foul-mouthed attorney. 01:06:11 Speaker 12: Of course. 01:06:11 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. 01:06:13 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:06:13 Speaker 1: But anyway, I just wanted to mention that because I told my friend Lou who's put this together today, this event today at Arnold's in Covington, that I would mention it at some point this morning. So I got that out of the way and used you to help do it. All right. So, boy, I tell you what, the UC football season is going the way we were talking about it not going last week. And today they're. in Ames, Iowa, to face off against Iowa State Cyclones. Any kind of hope for this squad? Yeah, there is. 01:06:51 Speaker 24: They're playing an Iowa State team that has given up a ton of points to other teams, gave up 42 last week, excuse me, 42 to Baylor, 50, I'm sorry, 42 to Baylor last week, 49 to Oklahoma State prior to that, 39 to Arizona prior to that, two weeks prior to that, 45 against West Virginia, so It's an Iowa State team that you can score against. It's an Iowa State team that you can run the football against, which the Bearcats are going to probably have to today because they're going to be without their top wide receiver, JV Gibson. 01:07:20 Speaker 12: But look, it's the month of November, right? We've talked about this a lot. 01:07:24 Speaker 24: Cincinnati hasn't won a November game since 11-11-23. They had a chance to win last week in Houston, and unfortunately, as has so often been the case, they just don't make the play, and sometimes they make the wrong play, which they did toward the end of the game. They are, you know, if you look at their, their two most recent road losses, um, the West Virginia game was there for the taking. I would argue they should have won it. And the game last week against Houston was there for the taking. They tied the game with about six minutes to go in the fourth quarter. And then they immediately give up a big play for a touchdown. That game was there for the taking. And so If they make maybe four plays across those two games, we're talking about a team that's 7-2 and we feel pretty good about the season. Instead, 5-4, you're underdogs today. By the way, everybody was looking ahead to next week in Colorado at Nippert Stadium thinking, well, that's one they can win and maybe they can, but Colorado beat Houston last night, played really, really well. And then the Bearcats have to go to BYU and Provo the final week of the season. If the idea is for the season to end with Scott Satterfield feeling safe about his job, I think they have to win today, and I think they have to win next week. 01:08:34 Speaker 12: Beyond that, I think there's going to be perhaps some conversations. 01:08:37 Speaker 1: So let's switch sports here. Let's go to the basketball court. What about this year's version of the UC Bearcats and what you know so far? 01:08:49 Speaker 24: Uh, what I know so far is that the other night when they played Minnesota and the golden gophers went to a zone defense, UC didn't look ready for it. 01:08:57 Speaker 12: And that's why they lost a game in which they only gave up. 01:08:59 Speaker 24: 63 points their biggest deficiency was a problem on monday and that's rebounding and i think we knew going into the season this wasn't going to be a great team on the glass but then they lost their best front court player 30 seconds into the first game I think the good news though, is for the most part, the way in which they play offense and the way in which they deploy a pressure defense, those things are going to be assets. They have a kid by the name of Tylan Riley, who I think as the season moves on is going to be able to get the shots that he wants. I don't, I don't know though, that they have like a guy that would contend for an all big 12 spot. And, you know, let's face it. They had one last year, Bob Miller, Bob Miller's playing in the NBA right now at, It goes to show how hard that league is. I don't think Cincinnati has a guy like that. Now, I've been very impressed by what Jared Calhoun has done in a short amount of time in sort of installing his system and getting guys to play his way. I just don't know that they have yet enough guys to really win games in the Big 12. They've got a road game tonight against the Dayton Flyers, a program that They just lost to Siena the other night, coming off a loss to Northern Illinois. I know in Dayton they're chomping at the bit to have the Bearcats in their building for the first time in over 20 years. I am interested in the bounce back from UC tonight. 01:10:23 Speaker 10: All right. 01:10:23 Speaker 1: I was just kind of waiting to see what would happen when Kansas took on Kentucky in that tournament that was held this past week. And Kansas obviously just blew the doors off the Wildcats in that game. And a big part of the reason... was Kansas freshman class, which includes Tyron Stokes and a player out of Newport, Kentucky named Talon Kinney. These were two of the top recruits in the nation. And for the people in Campbell County, you've got to say Talon play up to, I think, his sophomore year at Newport, which he was crazy. He was out the box great. On that level, before going to the prep school and playing with Tyron Stokes in the AAU league, he had a field day feeding the ball to Taylor. And there's going to be a lot more out of this guard. Do you know much about Talon Kenny, this kid out of Newport? 01:11:24 Speaker 12: Not nearly as much as I probably should, but you're right. 01:11:26 Speaker 24: He had eight assists in that game on Tuesday night, and it was Tyron Stokes and Trey White. 01:11:30 Speaker 12: Those guys combined for 53 points. 01:11:33 Speaker 24: Talon

Kenny had eight assists and ran the offense extraordinarily effectively in Kentucky. Kentucky nearly lost to Northern Arizona last night. Three from Alex Wilkins with like three seconds to go to, to win the game. Uh, in that event, which I always call college basketball's opening night, Michigan state looked like Michigan state Duke for stretches of their game against Michigan state look like Duke, Kansas looked like Kansas. Kentucky did not look like Kentucky, uh, totally overwhelmed by a handful of players on Kansas's team and the wildcats on neither end of the floor had much of an answer. 01:12:07 Speaker 1: Somebody who was, uh, a UK fan. And of course, where I live, if you're not a UK fan, you're looked at like you got two heads. Um, so I get those looks a lot, but anyway, uh, at the bar yesterday, somebody saying, well, Mark Pope has abandoned his offense that he started with, uh, you know, players change. So you, you change your, your offense according to the talent you have on, on hand. But he said it looked more like a Calipari audio, uh, offense and that did not work obviously against Kansas. 01:12:41 Speaker 24: So I don't, yeah, I think it's, I think it's a fair criticism because I watched Mark Pope's teams at BYU play Cincinnati played him when they first moved into the big 12. And I think the thing that was so exciting about Mark Pope coming to Lexington was he was going to bring that offense with him. Now you need guys, but you're, I think that observation is, is completely fair. It looks like a John Calipari sort of outmoded, outdated, easy to defend guy. as opposed to what we saw at BYU, which featured a lot of passing, a lot of cutting, open threes, the ball being moved from one side to the other. And you don't see as much of that, and you haven't really since Mark got to Lexington. 01:13:20 Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, so I've been just hemming and hawing around waiting for this. It's terrible towel time, also known as a whiteout for Bengals fans, tomorrow night at Paycourse Stadium against the Steelers. I've talked to season ticket holders who routinely will sell their four season tickets for the Steelers game when Pittsburgh comes to town, two Steelers fans, because it's a huge payday, and they pay for the rest of their season tickets by selling for that one game. And will it be the same with both teams at 6-2? Are we going to see a massive amount of terrible towels in the stadium tomorrow night versus Bengals fans? Is it going to play to form? Are we going to have more Bengals fans in the stands? 01:14:16 Speaker 24: I think we'll have more Bengals fans because the Bengals are good. You're certainly going to see terrible towels. There's no getting around that. You always do when the Steelers come here. They have a massive fan base. They're a fan base that's willing to pay. They have a lot of fans who live here in town. And so, you know, you're going to see yellow. I would imagine that a Bengals fan who has done what you just outlined, which is unload the tickets so you can pay for the rest of the season, would be a little bit more reluctant to do that. 01:14:44 Speaker 12: Because their team is good this year. And this game has a lot riding on it. 01:14:47 Speaker 24: The Bengals and Steelers have played against each other in their respective histories three times where each team is coming in having won four consecutive games. You have to go back to 2014 to find the last time these two teams played against each other were both were at least four over 500. So first place is on the line. There's a lot riding on it. So I would have to imagine that a, a Bengals season ticket holder would be maybe a little bit more reluctant to miss this game at the same time. You know, maybe the stakes of the game is going to jack up the price. 01:15:18 Speaker 12: I don't know. 01:15:18 Speaker 24: Here's what I do know. First game against the Steelers. I feel like the Bengals offensively didn't know who they were. I think they know who they are right now. It's, Forget putting Joe Burrow under center. Put him in the shotgun. Let him diagnose and let him do it behind a good offensive line. The other thing about that first Pittsburgh game is Bengals committed two massive special teams mistakes. 01:15:37 Speaker 4: Yes. 01:15:38 Speaker 12: Roughing the punter and they had a muffed punt. 01:15:41 Speaker 24: Special teams since that game has been really, really good. I think this is likely to be close. If the Bengals avoid those sort of mistakes, I think they're going to be okay. 01:15:48 Speaker 1: The line yesterday was three and a half, which means that the bookies think it's basically going to be a flip of a coin. Because Bengals get three points at home. 01:15:59 Speaker 24: Yeah, I think any more because home field advantage in the NFL isn't quite what it was 20 years ago. I look at that more as a point and a half. But I think it's close to a coin flip game. I am not entirely sold on Pittsburgh's offensive explosiveness, but Bengals couldn't tackle Jalen Warren in the first game. They couldn't tackle Darnell Washington in the first game. And if you can't tackle guys, suddenly what are supposed to be moderate gains turn into explosive plays. 01:16:33 Speaker 12: Does that repeat itself tomorrow? 01:16:35 Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed. We will see. Mo Egger, as always, thank you, my friend. Counselor, what's on Saturday midday today? 01:16:41 Speaker 20: We got Jay Ratliff leading off. I heard media aviation expert. Perfect person to have. Short show today because of the UC game. We're out of here at 11. Janice Heisel of the Epoch Times is going to be a guest. And Ken Kober, FOP president. 01:16:56 Speaker 1: All right, fantastic. That's Mike Allen coming up next right after 9 o'clock. After the show, show at the Sitting Bull Cafe on 27 there in Southgate. I'll be there from 11 till 2. And at 4 o'clock, Arnold's Bar. On Pike Street in Covington for the Strauss Tobacconist Reunion Party. 01:17:15 Speaker 21: 700 WLW.
