Could you use a hand? 00:09:49 Speaker 2: Ahead of the top of the hour, Gary Jeff Walker back on the Saturday morning edition on 700 WLW. You know, the best part about this week, like from. 00:10:01 Speaker 2: Wednesday on, was the BS is over. The political ads, the yard signs. I mean, I guess it's over except for the people gloating and carping about the fact that that their guy or girl won, but man, it's such a relief, isn't it? Just have all that nonsense stop for at least a week until the 28 presidential campaign kicks in. And just one request. If you still have a yard sign up in front of your house, please take it down. Because even if your candidate won and you still got a yard sign the Saturday after the election, That means you're a loser. I don't want to see it. It's a blight on the land. Politics is kind of a blight on the land, too, generally. And I feel like that no matter who wins. Oh, the Lady Lynette is here, bright and early. Good morning, Lynette. Without a doubt, he is my savior. 00:11:15 Speaker 1: Without doubt. Amen. 00:11:21 Speaker 14: Amen, indeed. 00:11:24 Speaker 1: How you doing, babe? I'm great. 00:11:44 Speaker 2: I'm glad to be back with you. You know, I missed last Saturday. I was out of town. 00:11:48 Speaker 1: I thought maybe you were kidnapped and held for ransom, my love. 00:11:55 Speaker 2: Tied up, kidnapped, and held for ransom. Like Tom Petty in The Heartbreakers, Refugee. Anyway, go ahead. 00:12:02 Speaker 1: But then I thought maybe you were in Tennessee having country ham eggs and biscuits. 00:12:08 Speaker 2: Well, you got part of it right. We were in middle Tennessee. It was my father's 90th birthday last Friday. And Krista 2.0 and I left out early Friday morning and were there in time for his party at lunchtime and dinner with the whole family that evening. And then we came back about Saturday afternoon. So I missed the show. And I wanted to thank Donna D and Sterling actually for filling in and Hopefully making people appreciate me even more than they already do. 00:12:43 Speaker 1: Now, do you have a picture of me in my white Western hat and my white boots? 00:12:48 Speaker 2: I did get one of those, and it's absolutely darling, darling. 00:12:53 Speaker 1: Then that's a sterling. I told him I'm different now. I'm Lady Lynette. 00:12:59 Speaker 10: I will. 00:13:01 Speaker 1: With him, I was just plain old Lynette. 00:13:06 Speaker 2: You're always Lady Lynette to me. 00:13:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, I told them you upgraded my name. 00:13:11 Speaker 2: That's right. Well, I didn't call you Mama Tree anyway. 00:13:16 Speaker 15: Yeah. 00:13:17 Speaker 10: Yeah. 00:13:17 Speaker 1: I love them. 00:13:19 Speaker 2: So what else is going on, Lady Lynette? 00:13:24 Speaker 1: Well, we had a Halloween party. Yeah. I told them I wanted some of that hot cheese and salami and crackers. And we had olives, the red and green olives. 00:13:39 Speaker 2: You know, nothing says Halloween like salami, cheese, and crackers, and red and green olives. 00:13:47 Speaker 16: Yeah. 00:13:48 Speaker 1: That, to me, was the first time for those. 00:13:50 Speaker 17: Oh, really? 00:13:54 Speaker 1: I'm old, 37 years old. Later, I might forget. Just 37, huh? 00:13:58 Speaker 13: Yes, sir. 00:14:04 Speaker 2: Well, we'll go with that, okay? 00:14:07 Speaker 1: If Jack Benny could be 39, I'm 37. 00:14:10 Speaker 2: That's right. I bet my dad wishes he was 37. Well, tell. 00:14:17 Speaker 1: Him he has to be 42 now. 00:14:18 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll pass that along. Thank you so much, baby. I love you.

00:14:24 Speaker 10: Love you both. Bye-bye. 00:14:27 Speaker 2: Bye. The Lady Lynette. That's right. She's the Lady Lynette, and I do have the picture of her with her white hat.

If you're going to leave America, where would you go? 00:15:46 Speaker 6: I don't know. 00:15:46 Speaker 16: I always wanted to go where my dad's family was from, Italy. My uncle used to go with my aunt and see the gondola boats and the pretty mandolin music on the boats, you know? 00:16:00 Speaker 10: Right. 00:16:00 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:16:01 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound bad. 00:16:03 Speaker 10: All right. 00:16:03 Speaker 2: Now, here's the important thing that Dave wants to know, Dick.

Welcome back. 00:16:52 Speaker 18: Thank you. 00:16:53 Speaker 19: How are you doing? 00:16:53 Speaker 2: Gary Jeff Walker and Dave from Harrison. Three names. 00:16:58 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:16:59 Speaker 2: I think you've got to have three names to be on this show. 00:17:01 Speaker 13: I have a doctor in there, too. 00:17:02 Speaker 6: Doctor, that would be like four. 00:17:05 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Well, you can either call me Dr. 00:17:07 Speaker 10: Walker. 00:17:07 Speaker 2: You can call me Gary Jeff Walker. 00:17:11 Speaker 17: Well, you have a lot of patients, so. 00:17:13 Speaker 2: Well, sometimes, except maybe when you call. 00:17:17 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, there's reasons for that, my friend. 00:17:21 Speaker 10: There's a reason. 00:17:23 Speaker 2: So what do you got, Dave? 00:17:25 Speaker 10: Well, Gary Jeff, I was. 00:17:26 Speaker 20: Wondering, do you really suppose that koalas are really bears? 00:17:34 Speaker 2: I've heard that they're not actually bears, but yeah, what's the deal with koala bears, Dave? 00:17:40 Speaker 6: Well, they have all their koala-fications. 00:17:45 Speaker 10: So, you know. 00:17:48 Speaker 16: Hey, Gary Jeff, what do you suppose a good name for a mountain climber would be? 00:17:52 Speaker 11: Uh. 00:17:58 Speaker 2: I don't know. 00:18:00 Speaker 1: I'm guessing Cliff. Um. 00:18:04 Speaker 2: Did you say cliff? Did you say cliff? 00:18:06 Speaker 21: Yeah, cliff. 00:18:07 Speaker 2: That's what I thought you said. Okay, Dave. 00:18:09 Speaker 10: One more. 00:18:11 Speaker 2: Three is the magic number, Dave. 00:18:13 Speaker 10: Yeah. 00:18:16 Speaker 22: Harry, how come suntanning never caught on as an Olympic. 00:18:21 Speaker 10: Sport, do you suppose? 00:18:25 Speaker 2: I don't know, Dave. Tell me. 00:18:28 Speaker 6: Well, it appears. 00:18:30 Speaker 15: That since the best you can do is bronze. 00:18:39 Speaker 23: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered funny by the staff management or advertisers of 700 WLW or his parent company. 00:18:48 Speaker 2: I heart media. 00:18:49 Speaker 23: 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. 00:19:02 Speaker 24: Touchdown, Bengals! 00:19:05 Speaker 25: This week, the Bengals are going international as they make their way to Madrid to duel with the Dirty Birds of Atlanta, a game we hope will be known as the. 00:19:14 Speaker 10: Running of the Bengals. 00:19:15 Speaker 25: Can the orange and black overcome the overseas trip, or will the Falcons swoop in for the win? Honestly, isn't the Falcon just an oversized pigeon? Remember to set your alarm. The game kicks off at 9.30 a.m. with coverage starting at 5.30 a.m. Tomorrow morning, stream for free on the new and improved iHeartRadio app or on 700-WLW, home of the best Bengals coverage. 00:19:42 Speaker 2: Still a freeze warning in effect until about 9 o'clock or so this morning. We will warm up to a high of 55 this afternoon, likely frosty. again overnight tonight. Tomorrow morning's low 36. And 58 for the high here in Cincinnati. Partly cloudy and seasonable temperatures. Monday, sunny and a little bit warmer. Do you run a business? If so, this holiday season, I remember who Christopher Knight was. 00:20:10 Speaker 20: That was from my crazy upbringing. That was one of the shows along with

Little House on the Prairie. I was not allowed to watch. 00:20:17 Speaker 6: What? 00:20:17 Speaker 2: Why weren't you allowed to watch the Brady Bunch? 00:20:21 Speaker 10: You don't have time, buddy. 00:20:23 Speaker 2: No, and Little House on the Prairie? Yeah. These were family shows, and your family refused to let you watch a family show. 00:20:35 Speaker 20: Apparently a little too wholesome for their taste. 00:20:39 Speaker 10: Yes. 00:20:40 Speaker 26: Oh, boy. 00:20:41 Speaker 20: I'm still in recovery. I'm still in recovery. 00:20:44 Speaker 2: Well, give us a reception report. How are you listening to us this morning, and what are you listening on? 00:20:50 Speaker 20: Five by five. 1946 General Electric 5.2 BM radio model 103. It's a modest table radio that was a standard design Super Heterodyne, known to some as an All-American 5 based on the number of tubes, and that it was just a basic design that RCA owned all the patents for, which wasn't a big surprise since GE and RCA were sister companies. But I had to bring this radio up because, let's go to the catalog, shall we? Okay. 00:21:21 Speaker 2: Okay. Quickly. 00:21:22 Speaker 20: Of all companies, GE should have had at least passable ad copy, you would think. 00:21:30 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:21:30 Speaker 18: Okay. 00:21:30 Speaker 20: Multi-weave grill. 00:21:33 Speaker 15: All right. 00:21:33 Speaker 20: That's not bad. These radios will stay sold because GE quality construction. Okay. So this is the April 1946 issue of the radio and television retailing magazine. So the audience are the dealers, not the customers. 00:21:51 Speaker 13: Fair enough. 00:21:52 Speaker 20: Keeping radios sold depends on the performance of the sets you sell. Well, fair enough. But are radios coming back in and that's a problem? Because if you buy a car and you don't like it, you bring it back, you're trading it in for a new one. You're not swapping it out for a new one. 00:22:09 Speaker 15: Right. 00:22:10 Speaker 20: Trust me. 00:22:12 Speaker 15: Okay. 00:22:12 Speaker 10: Now, buckle up because it's about to get weird. 00:22:15 Speaker 6: Compare radios. 00:22:17 Speaker 20: This simple way to get acquainted with GE quality is to compare the General Electric radios with any of the better-performing sets. Remove the chassis from their cabinet, count the components and examine their ratings, inspect all parts and materials, look at the workmanship. Quickly, you'll discover why GE sets have greater sensitivity, selectivity, and far better tone. So in other words, the dealer is supposed to buy someone else's radio, take both of these brand new radios apart. 00:22:51 Speaker 2: Disassemble it. 00:22:52 Speaker 13: Look at every part. 00:22:54 Speaker 20: And by the way, it says, you know, buy a better performing set and discover why GE is a better performing set. How exactly are you going to explain this to a customer? Or how are you going to pay the technician that did this? Like, we're supposed to do what now? 00:23:14 Speaker 13: That is crazy. 00:23:17 Speaker 2: What crazy gobbledygook. Listen, I got to move along here, but we'll chat soon. 00:23:23 Speaker 20: That's all I got. 00:23:24 Speaker 2: No, that's all we need. OldRadioRick at gmail.com. 00:23:29 Speaker 27: Brothers and sisters, let me, Bill Cunningham, help you through these trying times. Maybe you're working from home or you have a house full of kids or you lost your job or you're worried about your family. 00:23:41 Speaker 2: Everyone is. 00:23:42 Speaker 17: I understand. 00:23:43 Speaker 27: We're all facing new challenges. 00:23:46 Speaker 2: I'll help you and you'll help me. 00:23:48 Speaker 27: And together, we'll not only face these challenges, we're going to conquer them together. 00:23:52 Speaker 28: Bill Cunningham, Monday at 12 noon on 700 WLW. 00:23:59 Speaker 11: How do you know that Claude won't become manipulative? 00:24:03 Speaker 6: This is a constant worry. 00:24:06 Speaker 2: And you can actually catch them all. 00:24:07 Speaker 6: One of the best Bengals coverage. 00:24:11 Speaker 29: It's the Bengals and Falcons battling it out in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. The action right here on 700 WLW. Bengals head coach Zach Taylor testing out his Spanish while there. 00:24:20 Speaker 19: Encanta, Madrid. That's all I got. 00:24:26 Speaker 29: Taylor hopes that the Bengals brand becomes well-known in who day in Spain. 00:24:31 Speaker 30: Our colors stand out, you know. is that our colors, I think our logo, um, is iconic to me. I, I, I like seeing that all over the world. Um, so I would encourage the Spanish fans to buy as much Bengals gear as they can and wear it proudly and say who day that's our, that's our saying who day. So, uh, you can utilize that all over Spain, all over Madrid, and we'll respond back with who day. And so let's get everybody in Spain yelling jude every time they see anybody wearing orange or black, that'd be great. 00:25:04 Speaker 24: And is he a fan of these international games in the NFL? 00:25:07 Speaker 19: I love it. 00:25:08 Speaker 30: I think growing our sport internationally is the right thing to do. I think it's once people understand it, it's a lot of fun to watch. And now that we're obviously expanding into more cities to go play games, I embrace it, and I embrace growing the Bengals brand as well. 00:25:27 Speaker 19: I think it's an important one. It's one I love dearly. 00:25:29 Speaker 30: Again, I think we've got a whole team full of players that, you know, a lot of. 00:25:35 Speaker 19: Them are known worldwide. 00:25:37 Speaker 30: And so I think it's really exciting to get them out here in a country like Spain and let people get to see that and embrace it and learn more about them. 00:25:43 Speaker 19: And they've got great personalities, as you all well know. 00:25:46 Speaker 24: And what does Taylor know about sports in Spain? 00:25:49 Speaker 19: Spain won the World Cup, right? 00:25:51 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:25:52

Speaker 30: I was here yesterday looking for it. 00:25:54 Speaker 19: It's not here. It's traveling around Spain. I learned that. It's on a little tour of Spain. But I did my best to find it. 00:26:03 Speaker 10: You know, I. 00:26:05 Speaker 30: Know it's a big soccer country. That's their number one sport. I'm not quite sure how much they know about our game yet. Hopefully they'll learn a lot over the course of this week. 00:26:14 Speaker 29: And as far as the Falcons are concerned, they enter the game at 3-5. They feature running back Bajon Robinson along with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. 00:26:23 Speaker 30: This is a really good team. They're really well-rounded in all phases. Obviously their running back is dangerous to get in this league. and they're able to focus a lot of things around that with stuff Kevin's always done a great job of, and Bill Callahan and all the guys they got with the run game and the play actions and the nakeds and the screens. I think Michael does a great job delivering the ball in a drop-back manner. 00:26:47 Speaker 2: With head coach Zach Taylor, Seg Denison, 700 WLW. 00:26:49 Speaker 29: You've been listening to Who Day Today on 700 WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage. 00:26:59 Speaker 2: At First State Bank, we know that every business has its own foundation. Whatever yours is built on, we are here to support it. Visit FSB for more information. 00:27:30 Speaker 6: I'll be okay. 00:27:32 Speaker 2: It's 636. I'll be okay as long as I got the gang from Ripley at Brookies. How now, Brown County? Good morning, gang. 00:27:41 Speaker 6: Good morning. 00:27:42 Speaker 2: Now, oh, who was that at the end there? Was that Buzz? 00:27:48 Speaker 22: He's on the other end, but the one end you're talking about is Matt. The younger alcoholic. Boy, we got some good bookends here, don't we? 00:27:57 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. And speaking of great bookends, right in the middle of the shelf, we have the oil baron of Brown County, Doug Bonson, who this week attended the retired ag teacher get-together. I didn't know that there were such things as retired agriculture teachers getting together, but apparently it's so. And you had a special shout-out, Doug, to someone that was there, didn't you? 00:28:25 Speaker 22: Yeah, and I'm sure he's on the road this morning. He's well-known in Columbus, Ohio, as the Buckeye Man, and that's Larry Lokai. 00:28:35 Speaker 2: Now, you can't tell the story here, but have you told the gang at Brookies about the Penny story? 00:28:42 Speaker 22: No, but I'll be glad to tell that any time off the air, yes. 00:28:49 Speaker 2: So, Green Hornet, you'd be especially interested in the Penny story, I think. 00:28:54 Speaker 31: Oh, is that right? 00:28:55 Speaker 22: Okay. 00:28:56 Speaker 13: Does it have a beaver in it or something? 00:29:00 Speaker 2: Well, there could be a beaver involved. I'm not sure. 00:29:04 Speaker 15: Yeah. 00:29:05 Speaker 31: You know, this is the month of the beaver moon, you know, November is. 00:29:10 Speaker 2: It's the month of the beaver moon? 00:29:12 Speaker 20: Yes, it's the beaver moon in November. 00:29:15 Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. 00:29:16 Speaker 6: It's called Beaver Moon. 00:29:17 Speaker 31: They're getting ready to put their little homes together and they're packing all their little suits and stuff in there so they can retire at the end of November for the winter. 00:29:25 Speaker 10: That's why they call it the Beaver Moon. 00:29:29 Speaker 2: Beaver Moon. I guess it depends on which direction they're facing. 00:29:35 Speaker 20: That's true. 00:29:37 Speaker 2: So let's ask. I wanted to ask you, I've not been to Ripley since the Riverfront project, the Front Street project got finished. How does it look? 00:29:49 Speaker 13: Well, it looks great. 00:29:51 Speaker 31: You know, it's too bad we're going into winter, but it looks great. 00:29:54 Speaker 1: Everybody was down here last night. 00:29:56 Speaker 31: They had a big dedication yesterday and had a band down there last night. 00:30:00 Speaker 1: At the entertainment center. 00:30:02 Speaker 13: So it was pretty good. 00:30:04 Speaker 2: Oh, man. I can't wait to go see it. 00:30:09 Speaker 22: You'll have to check it out in the dark. 00:30:10 Speaker 10: That way you can see the beacon. 00:30:11 Speaker 22: It'll lead you to snappers and burpees. 00:30:13 Speaker 1: That's right. 00:30:16 Speaker 10: You know what? 00:30:16 Speaker 2: I could find those places just by the smell. So what's going on at Brookies, if anything at all, this weekend? 00:30:27 Speaker 22: Queen of Hearts is the biggest thing on the agenda. Of course, that'll be Wednesday night at 7.30, the drawing. 00:30:32 Speaker 10: The pot is at 74,000. 00:30:35 Speaker 22: It doesn't look like there's a band tonight at all on the marquee, but plenty of good food, plenty of cold drinks, and all the good stuff. 00:30:47 Speaker 2: That sounds wonderful. All right, guys. Well, thanks for checking in as always. Any other little notes? 00:30:54 Speaker 10: Buzz, you got any? 00:30:57 Speaker 15: No. 00:30:57 Speaker 10: He's shaking his head no. Drink up. 00:31:00 Speaker 2: All right. Tip them back. It's 639. You can't stay drunk all day if you don't start early. 00:31:07 Speaker 10: That's right. 00:31:10 Speaker 2: All right. See you guys. 00:31:12 Speaker 10: Thanks. 00:31:12 Speaker 2: The gang at Tabrookie's on Main Street in Ripley, Ohio. Liam Tomlinson is live in Spain. We'll talk to him directly. 00:31:23 Speaker 6: Do you have. 00:31:23 Speaker 2: Three ex-wives and your current trophy wife wants a life? It goes into effect until 9 o'clock this morning on the way this afternoon. Partly cloudy, a high of 55 tomorrow. Partly cloudy and seasonal in Cincinnati with a high of 58. In Madrid, it'll be about 62. And speaking of Madrid. 00:31:44 Speaker 6: 700 WLW Sports. 00:31:47 Speaker 2: The Bengals are in Madrid, of course, playing the Falcons. All the action here on The

Big One, the home of the best Bengals coverage in WEBN and ESPN 1530. Our reporter on the scene in Spain is Liam Tomlinson. Good morning, Liam. 00:32:02 Speaker 10: How are you? 00:32:04 Speaker 17: Bonjour, Gary Jeff. It's the greatest day of my life so far. How are you doing? 00:32:08 Speaker 2: Bonjour is French, isn't it? 00:32:12 Speaker 17: It might be, you're right. No wonder no one understands me here. That might be my issue. 00:32:15 Speaker 13: They're looking at me sideways. 00:32:17 Speaker 2: So did you, you text me, did you get into some kind of altercation with Spaniards at the train station? 00:32:24 Speaker 14: No, it was at the, the Bengals party last night. The bar was divided like three different areas. You know, the bourgeoisie where Tony Pike was the VIP area. Oh, this kid, I'm at the NFL experience. 00:32:34 Speaker 7: Sorry. 00:32:34 Speaker 17: A kid made a crazy catch. 00:32:36 Speaker 14: And then I was at the different bars for the regular town people, but all the Bengals fans were there thinking it was the Bengals bar. This lady threw a reservado on the table and wiped her hands at me. 00:32:45 Speaker 17: And I was like, well, do you have to be disrespectful? 00:32:48 Speaker 15: Yeah. 00:32:48 Speaker 14: And then we got into a little, I was like, well, I was going to leave if you ask, but since you did it so rudely, I. 00:32:52 Speaker 17: Don't want to leave the table now. There's out of principle, you know? 00:32:54 Speaker 10: Sure. 00:32:55 Speaker 14: And I was like, in another world, we all could be friends. And like they, the Spanish guy tried to like calm it. He didn't know what was going on. 00:33:01 Speaker 17: There was no, no, see Liam. 00:33:04 Speaker 2: Liam, this is the issue with people who have those stupid coexist bumper stickers on their cars. They're, you can't coexist with people who want to kill you. And I believe that this woman, this Spanish woman wanted to kill you. So you can't really live in peace and Kumbaya with somebody who, who on one hand says coexist and then wipes her hands or whatever she did to you. 00:33:29 Speaker 17: So the issue after that, she came over and hugged me. 00:33:33 Speaker 14: Oh, I'm trying to, after like as a joke and I was standing my ground, like I'm not mad, but now I got to stay here on principle. 00:33:38 Speaker 17: And I was next to my girlfriend here. They're not go over. Well, it was my girlfriend's. 00:33:43 Speaker 14: Like, you never hugged me that much in my life in our relationship time. She's like, I was giving her like an extra hug. 00:33:50 Speaker 13: I did not. 00:33:50 Speaker 17: I did not hug the lady. I did not hug the lady. I promise you. 00:33:53 Speaker 2: You didn't, you didn't hug her back. 00:33:55 Speaker 17: No, I did not. I had, I kept my arms out wide and she took the hat off my head. I was, some would say assaulted. 00:34:02 Speaker 2: Well, I, I, that may qualify as an assault. Have you talked to the Spanish authorities? 00:34:09 Speaker 17: They didn't understand me. 00:34:10 Speaker 2: Because you're speaking French. You're in Spain, and you're speaking French. No, what's it like? I've never been to Spain, but I kind of like the music. 00:34:23 Speaker 14: I was about to say, okay, Elvis, but Madrid's a beautiful town. 00:34:27 Speaker 17: I'll say that. It's very nice. It's just a nice city. It's not a town, obviously. Capital of Spain. 00:34:33 Speaker 13: It's awesome. 00:34:34 Speaker 17: I started off in Lisbon. Now I'm here in Madrid. It's just beautiful. 00:34:38 Speaker 14: I will give them that very clean. Like all the garbage on the street overnight cleaned up by the morning. 00:34:44 Speaker 2: Well, that's just because the Americans are there. They're trying to show off. 00:34:48 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:34:48 Speaker 14: They kicked out this whole encampment of protest right before the NFL game. 00:34:52 Speaker 17: So it makes sense. 00:34:54 Speaker 2: So, I mean, how's the food? 00:34:58 Speaker 17: McDonald's is awesome here. Don't tell me McDonald's. 00:35:01 Speaker 2: You're in Spain. You don't eat at McDonald's in Spain. You go to a local place where the locals go and you eat something that's culturally proper. 00:35:11 Speaker 17: They serve $ 2 beers at McDonald's. It's kind of awesome. But I only went there once. I got to try every McDonald's around the world. 00:35:16 Speaker 14: I got these tacos that were pretty good yesterday from TKL. 00:35:20 Speaker 17: It's been good. It's been solid food. 00:35:22 Speaker 2: All right. But, I mean, nothing like his locals. 00:35:28 Speaker 17: Oh man, I don't have that much money to be sitting at these cafes and buying all my money. 00:35:31 Speaker 2: I mean, if I, if I, if I was, if I was in Spain, I would make sure if I had nothing else, I had tapas money because I love tapas. I love little by love olives. I love the little, uh, you know, the, the canned seafood. I love all that stuff. 00:35:47 Speaker 17: When we were in Lisbon, they had a sardine store. They were selling sardines. It brought some back. 00:35:51 Speaker 32: Yeah. 00:35:52 Speaker 21: Yeah. 00:35:52 Speaker 2: So how long are you going to be gone in Europe? 00:35:55 Speaker 14: I'll be in Barcelona Monday through Wednesday, then Amsterdam Thursday through Saturday, back for Sunday night football versus Steelers. 00:36:03 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're going to Amsterdam? 00:36:06 Speaker 17: Yes, I heard it's a great culturally. Very deep thinking area. 00:36:10 Speaker 2: I'll ask you the same question I asked the new governor-elect, Amy Acton. Aren't you high enough already? 00:36:18 Speaker 17: Aren't we high on life? 00:36:20 Speaker 2: Okay, all right. Well, Liam, do you think that this report... We'll help you write off your expenses in Europe through iHeartMedia. Have you talked to the accountants in HR about maybe getting part of your trip expensed? 00:36:34 Speaker 17: We have HR. 00:36:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. We really

should, with you on staff, have HR. 00:36:43 Speaker 10: Yeah, I know. 00:36:43 Speaker 14: I probably could have reported some things by now, but we live and learn. It's old school at iHeart. 00:36:49 Speaker 2: All right, Liam, fantastic report. You got anything else for us this morning? 00:36:54 Speaker 17: Good day. Go Bengals. You know, the energy is awesome here. A lot of Bengals fans. 00:36:58 Speaker 14: I've seen a lot of people just rocking the shield straight NFL logo. 00:37:03 Speaker 17: I'm at a wide receiver challenge right now. And these guys couldn't catch a cold out here. I'm about to show them all. It's an awesome experience. The NFL experience around here has been cool. I got to see the Lombardi trophy. 00:37:14 Speaker 10: It's been fun. 00:37:16 Speaker 17: That's the closest I'll probably ever get. 00:37:17 Speaker 2: So did you hear Zach Taylor? He said, Seg asked him what he knew about Spain, and he said, well, didn't they win the World Cup? I came here, and I haven't seen it. I've been looking for it. Have you seen the World Cup, Liam? 00:37:31 Speaker 14: I've not seen the World Cup yet. 00:37:34 Speaker 2: Okay, good luck. 00:37:36 Speaker 17: All right, see you, Gary Chapman. 00:37:37 Speaker 2: See you, Liam. Thank you so much for the check-in. Liam Tomlinson, live in Madrid at the NFL Experience for Bengals Falcons tomorrow. and then heading to Amsterdam to do his best Amy Acton impression. 00:37:49 Speaker 11: Podcasters, you've already done the hard part. You've got the idea. You've built an audience. You keep showing up and publishing. Now you're asking. 00:37:56 Speaker 18: Dr. 00:37:56 Speaker 2: Walker in the house. Is there a doctor in the house? 00:38:00 Speaker 17: Of course. 00:38:01 Speaker 2: It's me. Anyway, we're just kind of having fun. Liam Tomlinson live from Spain. How about that? And my friend, Brother Ray Scott from Loveland on the line. Good morning, Ray. 00:38:15 Speaker 15: Good morning, perhaps future comrade Gary Jeff. 00:38:20 Speaker 2: No, that'll never happen. 00:38:24 Speaker 15: You know, there's so many nuggets in that little piece with Leo. 00:38:27 Speaker 10: That was so cool. 00:38:28 Speaker 15: But did you catch the McDonald's that he had a $ 2 beer at McDonald's? Now, that is pretty groundbreaking. I'm just envisioning him walking up to the beer fountain, I guess, in Madrid at McDonald's. 00:38:48 Speaker 2: I almost went through the drive-thru at McDonald's this morning, but the line was, like, taken forever, so I backed out. But, you know, they have the $ 5 breakfast deal at McDonald's right now, and I think you get, like, a sausage McMuffin and a hash brown and a small coffee or whatever. Can you imagine the $ 5 meal deal including a beer? 00:39:11 Speaker 10: It's funny. 00:39:12 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:39:13 Speaker 15: Oh, look. Listen, hey, my election ballot is half full, so I'm taking the high road all the way. I'm celebrating the fact that, I guess, voter suppression, has

that ended now? 00:39:29 Speaker 13: Is that right? 00:39:32 Speaker 2: You know what I noticed too, Ray? With the Democrats sweeping all the important races that gave them the balance of power in Washington, D.C. and the Congress, what I didn't see... in the aftermath of those announcements was mass writing in the streets by angry Republicans. I didn't see anyone threatening to leave the country because the Democrats had won power. I didn't see any of that. And it was just, it was odd. It was a, a great juxtaposition from what we see when the Republicans are in the, the front and, and they wind. 00:40:13 Speaker 22: Yeah. 00:40:13 Speaker 2: You didn't see any kind of violent protest or, even mostly peaceful protest by Republicans in the aftermath of, and it wasn't because we were necessarily happy about the outcome. It's just, we don't do that. Did you notice that? 00:40:30 Speaker 10: Yeah, just a little. 00:40:31 Speaker 15: Well, and, and on the downside now, uh, Rosie O'Donnell has said she might, might come back to America. So we're going to have to deal with that in some fashion. Well, you know, the other celebration that we can have is the fact that, uh, Amy Acton, apparently they're not going to shut her out of being on TV and being filmed now so we can actually see her speak and hear her speak. And so there's no more war on getting her out there. 00:41:00 Speaker 2: Well, she is one of the great orators in American politics. There's no question. We have enough evidence just with the acceptance speech alone, which, of course, we ran live on Tuesday night when I was on with Dan Carroll. And I tell you what, she is just such a great speaker, and she made so much sense, I couldn't understand a word of it. 00:41:25 Speaker 15: Makes me dream about Kamala. 00:41:27 Speaker 2: Oh, it was very Kamala Harris, which means that maybe the Democrats will decide to run her in 28 for president. 00:41:35 Speaker 18: I'm not sure. 00:41:36 Speaker 3: I don't know. 00:41:37 Speaker 15: We've got to go with a high note here somehow. We did wish your pops a happy birthday last week. So that's really, really cool. You got to go to the Ville and see your folks like that. And what a beautiful occasion. That's fantastic. Congratulations. 00:41:55 Speaker 2: The best thing truly, Ray, about the aftermath of the election on Tuesday night was that at least for a week or two, there are no political ads. There's no debating. I have purposely stayed away from watching any news or commentary from anywhere, from right or left, and it's been a lovely respite. 00:42:24 Speaker 15: And this week, by the way, not to be missed, And the biggie is I believe Wednesday is Veterans Day. 00:42:32 Speaker 10: Yes, it is. 00:42:33 Speaker 15: So as I say that, I take my hat off and I salute you and thank you. And God bless our vets and our fallen. And I am, all kidding aside, very thankful that there was a good turnout on voting because that is the one thing. true way to thank a

vet is take advantage of this freedom that people have fought and died for for 250 years so good to talk to my brother God bless you and God bless America. 00:43:01 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you always my friend Ray from Loveland on a Saturday morning Steve Schulte coming up in a few minutes and we got Science Mike later on the Tom Davis Diaries all the things that you may or may not love about the Saturday morning edition are all compacted here and The great Drew Westerheide, who has probably the best name in broadcasting with us this morning, as you heard Liam, is in Spain making the Spaniards absolutely crazy with his antics. It's 6.55 on a Saturday, November 7th. I'm Dr. Walker, and you are you, and that's perfectly fine with me. 700 WLW. Well, the holiday morning edition for this Saturday, November 7th, 2026. 00:43:51 Speaker 10: Dr. 00:43:51 Speaker 2: Walker in the house. Gary Jeff Walker with you. And my friend Steve Schulte, who usually shows up our environmental engineer with the truth about climate and the environment, is actually on a pilgrimage in Italy today in Assisi with his wife. And so he left it to me to do our little environmental update we do every Saturday morning at this time. The latest news from cfact.org. And, you know, C, of course, standing for climate, and fact standing for actual facts instead of stuff they make up. 00:44:38 Speaker 10: And, well. 00:44:40 Speaker 2: I'm doing my best to be as apolitical as possible this morning. A few things you should know about people who won elections this past Tuesday, like Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed, saying, we need 100% renewable energy, and we did it yesterday. James Tallarico in Texas, once comparing leading in oil and gas to being the leader in cassette tapes in the 1980s. North Carolina's Roy Cooper, who won the Senate seat there on Tuesday, signed an executive order as governor demanding net zero emissions by 2050 and 1.25 million zero emission vehicles on state roads by 2030. Sherrod Brown voting against the Keystone XL pipeline, not once but twice. Kansas Adam Hamilton, the megachurch pastor who won that Senate race, preaching in a 2020 sermon calling for repentance over climate change and suggesting to his flock rethink foods like cattle. And Troy Jackson, the cousin lover in Maine, helped pass the state's climate laws and sat down for a Q & A with a group pushing public ownership of Maine's energy system. Then the campaign started and the position suddenly changed. Correction, the stated position changed. El-Sayed not only deleted his 2019 post, I believe in a Green New Deal, he flip-flopped and said, look, I'm not going to defend the Green New Deal. 00:46:21 Speaker 15: What? 00:46:23 Speaker 2: In 22, Tallarico said fossil fuels are destroying the planet. By September, his campaign was assuring Texans he knows how essential oil and gas is to Texas' economy and backs an all-of-the-above strategy. Tallarico now says too many people in our party talk about eliminating

oil and gas. Like you. Before you went in front of the voters. South Carolina's Annie Andrews ran with the League of Conservative Voters endorsement, calling her committed to bold climate action. A week before the election, she said, I'm an all of above approach. Switcheroo. And Hamilton, the pastor who preached repentance over beef, campaigned on an all-of-the-above energy production. A campaign slogan costs nothing, a Senate vote goes on the permanent record, and the American public pays the bill. And by the way, nobody in this election voted for the Green New Deal. They voted about high gas prices and groceries. The economy was the top issue, followed by the state of democracy and immigration issues. Climate didn't make the top three. For years, Democrats described standing up to the people in charge was the highest form of patriotism. And every time the caucus pushes a rule that raises a power bill, they should hear about it. Every time a pipeline permit stalls, the Kansas rancher and the Texas trucker deserve to know whose desk it's sitting on. Voters gave the keys to the Senate, not a blank check for the Green New Deal. So if that was your issue, you're definitely in the minority, even if the candidate you're pinning your hopes on won on Tuesday. Okay, politics over again. But just saying, don't read their lips. Don't hear what they say. Watch what they do and see if they go back to their craziness once they're in office, now that you've voted. 7-11, 700-WLW. 00:48:36 Speaker 25: It's a Saturday special when the Bearcats and Cougars claw it out in the Lone Star State. It's big-time gridiron action as UC and Houston tangle on the turf in what is sure to be pigskin pandemonium. 00:48:49 Speaker 6: Get the call live today at 2.30 p.m. on 700-WLW or stream 700-WLW on the iHeartRadio app. 00:49:03 Speaker 2: When I hit my 50s, I felt like things. Good morning. Good morning, Krista 2.0. My love, my heart, my everything. I see my friend Alan Cleaves. 00:49:18 Speaker 6: Al, is that you? 00:49:20 Speaker 13: Yes, hold on a second. I didn't know you were going to put me on live, but I turned my radio off. Hey, hold on, hold on. 00:49:26 Speaker 1: There. 00:49:27 Speaker 18: Okay. 00:49:28 Speaker 2: Can you turn the dog off? 00:49:30 Speaker 13: No, there's no turning Gizzy off. She is always vocal. She has to let her presence be known. By the way, good morning, Gary Jeff. 00:49:40 Speaker 10: Good morning, Al. 00:49:41 Speaker 13: Thank you for taking a call from the west side of. 00:49:43 Speaker 20: The Great Miami River. 00:49:45 Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Are you on your way to Connersville, Indiana today? 00:49:49 Speaker 13: No, not yet. I'm not leaving until 8. 00:49:52 Speaker 2: Well, you are going, though. 00:49:53 Speaker 13: I am going to stop off. I just want to let you know I'm going to stop off at the McDonald's in Brookville to pick up breakfast. 00:50:00 Speaker 2: I wonder if they've got $ 2 beers like they do in Spain at the McDonald's in Brookville. 00:50:06 Speaker 13: And as a further report... I have been to Paris, I have been in Germany, and they do have McDonald's in both of those countries. I don't recommend the McDonald's in Paris, but I do recommend the McDonald's in Kaiserslautern in Germany. 00:50:21 Speaker 15: Why? 00:50:21 Speaker 2: What was so great about the McDonald's in Kaiserslautern, Germany? 00:50:26 Speaker 10: They do have beer. 00:50:29 Speaker 2: Okay. This seems to be a recurring theme this morning. Liam was talking about $ 2 beer at the McDonald's in Spain and Madrid. Now, Al, explain to folks what you're doing. You have a love and affinity for trains. You are a former electrician, but you're helping out because of the floods they had about a month and a half ago there in Indiana on the railroad tracks. 00:50:56 Speaker 19: Yes. 00:50:59 Speaker 2: You're volunteering, obviously, but this is a passion of yours, is it not? 00:51:07 Speaker 10: Yes, it is. 00:51:08 Speaker 13: They have been calling me, wondering when I was going to come back. Of course, last week, instead of going to Connersville, I decided to go down to your state and spend some time in the hills in and around the Red River Gorge. 00:51:22 Speaker 2: Oh, it's beautiful there, especially this time of year. 00:51:25 Speaker 10: Absolutely. 00:51:26 Speaker 32: All right. 00:51:26 Speaker 2: So a fire going and what exactly will you help them with when you're at the the train tracks were washed out there? 00:51:36 Speaker 13: I'm not I'm not doing any any of the actual track work. Those I'm leaving that to the professionals that know what they're doing. 00:51:43 Speaker 10: Right. 00:51:44 Speaker 13: I mean, I'm an electrician. So what I'm doing is electrical work, rerouting stuff because they don't want anything more to get into something called water. 00:51:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. It's not a good combination, water and electricity. No, no, no, no. 00:52:01 Speaker 13: You know, my first experience. 00:52:04 Speaker 2: Your first what? 00:52:06 Speaker 13: My first experience, I showed up right at realm a couple of months ago and talked to the volunteer coordinator. She said, I got something to show you. 00:52:14 Speaker 18: Can you come with me? 00:52:15 Speaker 13: And she introduces me to a three-phase 480-volt transformer that had been three feet underwater. 00:52:23 Speaker 2: Very nice. 00:52:24 Speaker 13: And I've seen things like that before. I worked in a very wet environment. You already know all that story. 00:52:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. 00:52:31 Speaker 6: And I'm not going to go into that. 00:52:32 Speaker 13: But, yeah, I just said one thing. 00:52:35 Speaker 2: Get me a maker. 00:52:36 Speaker 13: Now, I know nobody knows. 00:52:38 Speaker 2: What a maker is. 00:52:40 Speaker 13: It's a thing that you can hook up, put a voltage to it, very high volts, very low amps, and it lets you know if the insulation is good on whatever you're checking. 00:52:51

Speaker 2: Very good. Very good. Well, Al, I know that you will do them well, and you will help them in their recovery efforts, and I laud you for that. And I just wanted to end the phone call with one thing. 00:53:06 Speaker 10: Yes, sir. 00:53:06 Speaker 2: You know what I love most about electricians? 00:53:10 Speaker 1: What? 00:53:10 Speaker 2: They'd rather switch than fight. Time now for the Tom Davis Diaries. I like to refer to them as the. 00:53:21 Speaker 2: And that crazy madman is Tom Davis himself, here with an update. Wacky stories from around the country, around the world. 00:53:28 Speaker 10: Tom? 00:53:30 Speaker 2: Good morning, Gary Jeff. 00:53:32 Speaker 34: This week, an unthinkable outcome during his 97th birthday. But first, the BBC is reporting that an Italian chef was fired for refusing to put pineapple on a pizza. The chef reportedly said that it was, quote, offensive to his culture, unquote. Apparently, this was an ongoing problem. He refused to put pineapple on pizza three times in the past four years. He tried to get his job back during a hearing for unfair dismissal, but the committee sided with the restaurant, saying he should have put that pineapple on the pizza. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Linda Gipp is a busy tenant. So far, she's caught 42 mice in her apartment. She says it's an invasion, and she's spent hundreds of dollars over the last few months trying to get rid of them. The local housing authority says they are working on it at the speed of government. It's another bridezilla story going viral. A bridesmaid who is using the name Jackie O says that she was asked by the bride to gain 125 pounds so the bride would look skinnier in her wedding photos. She was also told to hunch over during photos to make the bride look taller. Jackie O says that she's going public telling her story to stop other bridezillas torturing their maids. And finally, let's celebrate 97-year-old California native Vito. This poor guy was dancing at his 97th birthday party to You Can't Make It Up to Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees and then died shortly afterwards. He actually died just moments after everybody sang happy birthday to him. His buddy, Baker Eden, who was at the party said, if there's any way Vito could have chosen to go out, It would have been like this. 00:55:30 Speaker 2: Very touching. May Vito rest in peace. 00:55:34 Speaker 34: Next week, thieves steal 5,000 endangered ants. 00:55:40 Speaker 2: The insects, not your uncle's wife. Have a great weekend. Are you fed up with being the shortest in the room? 00:55:47 Speaker 10: Yeah. 00:55:48 Speaker 2: The experts at the Minsk Institute want to help. 00:55:50 Speaker 10: Oh, yeah? 00:55:51 Speaker 2: With their instant height procedure, you can be stretched 6, 8, up to 12 inches with minimal pain or bone loss.

And I thought UNFL players were tough. You're kind of wimpy compared to those guys because most their careers end when they get goarded. 00:58:47 Speaker 2: It's kind of ugly. 00:58:49 Speaker 36: Yeah, it's incredible. It's the third largest bullfighting arena in the world and the largest in Europe. Just under 24,000 people go in to watch this. And as you mentioned, like, a majority of a bullfighter's career ends fatally in the arena where they're gored some way. way or another by a bull. They're literally putting their life on the line. But the history, and you mentioned kind of the Lambeau Field, it's kind of centrally right in the middle of the city, which is really unique. It's not off the beaten path anywhere. It's smack dab in the middle of the heartbeat of the city. But really cool to see and something that they take a lot of pride in here. 00:59:29 Speaker 6: Okay, on to the Bengals tone. 00:59:30 Speaker 35: Let's talk about how, not how the game's going to go, but how this team is going to fare after traveling. We left Tuesday night, flew all night, got to Madrid on Wednesday morning, not into the hotel room until probably 10.30 or so. They had a light workout on Wednesday, another practice on Thursday. How do you think this game is going to go overall? Is it going to be like maybe a Thursday night game where everything's just a little bit sloppier than normal? 00:59:55 Speaker 18: Yeah, I think it is. 00:59:57 Speaker 36: And that's kind of what you know with the product and you've watched any of the international games. But I do think getting in a little bit earlier helps. I think the London trip, I think, was a Thursday they got in. So getting in earlier, I know Wednesday night, last night, they let the guys go out and do dinner themselves. So you got to kind of see the city. So it doesn't feel like you're just getting in to play a game and getting out. These guys actually feel like they can maybe unwind just a little bit, see more of Madrid, and also get a normal practice schedule. You know, you're able to do light work on Wednesday. They got a good day of work in yesterday. They'll get some more work in today. I think that's going to help. But these guys are creatures of habit. 01:00:36 Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. 01:00:36 Speaker 36: And, you know, that's why Thursday night product is what it is. It's why the international games have been what it is. It's not going to be the normal crisp level of play you see on Sundays. And that's from both sides. But they're still going to put on a good show. Some of the best playmakers in the world are going to be on display for both of these teams on Sunday. 01:00:53 Speaker 10: It'll be fun. 01:00:54 Speaker 25: You've been listening to the Bengals Update, brought to you in part by Cincinnati Tax Resolution, powered by Toph Sheldon on 700 WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage. 01:01:07 Speaker 37: In the heart of downtown, Richter & Phillips Jewelers offers an experience unlike any other.

For Saturday, November the 7th, 2026, I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and you're not, and aren't you glad? I would be if I were you. Six minutes past the hour. It's great to be back with you after the one-week hiatus to go and visit my father and my mother on my dad's 90th birthday. And I got to tell you, I had not seen my dad smile for that long, that long a period of time, in a long time. Any 90-year-old has some health issues. My dad has several. He's still of sound mind, but his body is breaking down like bodies will do, like mine, like yours, like anybody's. But he had all four of his boys there. He had spouses. He had grandkids and great nieces and nephews. Mom is still just cooking along at the age of 89. And it was just a grand time. And I tell people all the time I feel so grateful and so blessed that I've got my parents still around. Because I'm no young pup anymore myself. But to have mom and dad and to be together, the whole family, it was just wonderful. So thank God. Praise God for that. Anyway, about eight minutes after the hour, it's time for a Science Minute with our friend Science Mike on a Saturday morning. 01:03:30 Speaker 23: Yes, but as a known scientist, it's a bit surprising that the girl blinded me with something. 01:03:35 Speaker 2: It's a bit surprising indeed. Michael, good morning. 01:03:39 Speaker 12: I think my dad would always say, like somebody would make a comment like, oh, another day. 01:03:43 Speaker 10: And my dad would look at him and say, thank God. Yeah. You know? 01:03:47 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:03:47 Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, just to see my dad that happy with everybody there, that was worth the trip in and of itself. But it was just a great time. To be with family. 01:04:00 Speaker 10: I'm glad for you. 01:04:00 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, sir. So what do we got? 01:04:03 Speaker 12: I'm not going to get preempted by any stalker shows or something. 01:04:08 Speaker 10: Am I? We're good? 01:04:11 Speaker 2: Stalker shows? 01:04:13 Speaker 10: Yeah. 01:04:15 Speaker 2: Are you referring to the incident of last weekend when I was not here? 01:04:22 Speaker 10: Maybe. 01:04:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just calling that... We're calling that the Halloween incident of 2026. Yes, we'll write that one off. From now on. I heard it was extremely scary. I'm not sure. 01:04:39 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, maybe. I'll shut it off. 01:04:42 Speaker 12: Anyhow, I usually don't quote studies, but this is a 43-year-old study that is related to the ability to– the effects of drinking coffee and related to the decrease of dementia risk. 01:04:58 Speaker 10: So we'll just give a straight facts here. 01:05:01 Speaker 12: People who drank higher amounts of caffeinated coffee, the dimensional dementia occurrence was at 141 cases per a hundred thousand people. And people who rarely or never

drank coffee, it was 330 cases per. 01:05:15 Speaker 10: A hundred thousand. 01:05:16 Speaker 15: Wow. 01:05:16 Speaker 2: But it has to be caffeinated, right? 01:05:19 Speaker 10: That's right. 01:05:19 Speaker 12: So coffee drink is the, And also, coffee drinks with caffeine less likely to report even some memory decline or cognitive decline for getting some simple things. 01:05:31 Speaker 10: I don't know. Not specifically dementia-related. 01:05:34 Speaker 12: And it's not really related to– this also helps. 01:05:36 Speaker 10: Even if you have a. 01:05:38 Speaker 12: DNA or heredity-type structure for your family that's dementias in the family, it even improves those people's less occurrence of dementia cases. Now, it's not just, okay, I'm going to start drinking a bunch of caffeinated coffee. It's only two to three cups is the optimal amount per day that has the best effect for decreasing the dementia cases. 01:06:07 Speaker 10: Related also, people drink tea. Now, tea has the same benefits, and. 01:06:11 Speaker 12: They relate it to one to two cups per But interesting, for tea, they did not differentiate between caffeinated or non-caffeinated tea. So actually tea may have the same effects for some reason, but it's not really related to caffeine. So, you know, go out and start that brewer up. 01:06:32 Speaker 10: And have a couple cups. 01:06:33 Speaker 2: You're saying remember to drink your coffee or you won't remember to drink your coffee. 01:06:40 Speaker 10: Right? Just put it out there. Okay. 01:06:43 Speaker 2: All right, cool. Well, you know, we, we can't drink caffeinated coffee at my house. I'm, I'm, I'm slugging some down this morning here, but, uh, my wife can't do the caffeine. So, uh, I'll just, yeah. So, so when she, when she loses her mind, uh, I'll say, well, honey, I'll go, I'll get you, I'll get you some more decaf. 01:07:05 Speaker 18: Okay. 01:07:06 Speaker 6: All right. 01:07:06 Speaker 2: Thanks, Mike. It's coming up on 12 minutes after the hour, 700 WLW. 01:07:12 Speaker 6: JeffWillerNissan.com.

And don't we all need positivity in this awful sinful world in which we live? The Word of God brought to you every Saturday morning, at least the Saturday mornings I'm here. Rick, I want to start with just apologizing to you for not alerting you to the fact I wasn't going to be here last week. And I should have. I know you waited on hold quite a while, but they wouldn't put you on. I don't know why they wouldn't. See, the thing is, I gave specific instructions to the people that were filling in for me. This is how the show goes. And they just decided to ignore it. But that's okay, I guess. But I told them about

you. I told them about everybody. And not everybody got on the air. So I am sorry about that. 01:08:37 Speaker 21: Hey, Gary, it is okay. Really rarely that things get to me. Life is too short. 01:08:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I agree. 01:08:46 Speaker 21: Gary, I got a good one today for you. I love this one. We have James chapter 1, verse 19. It said dear brothers and sisters take note of this everyone should be quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry and gary i'm praying that over myself because i fail at that one it's probably everybody on earth do But I'm going to meditate on that one all week, Gary. 01:09:19 Speaker 2: This is James 1, 19? Yes. 01:09:24 Speaker 21: Quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 01:09:30 Speaker 2: You're talking about it. You're telling this to a talk show host. That's what's funniest about it. You know, I've heard it said other ways. We'll go with what the Word of God says, Rick, but The way I've heard it is God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. 01:09:52 Speaker 21: See, Gary, that's what I grew up with, too. 01:09:56 Speaker 13: And I said, God, I'm 53, and I struggled with that many times. 01:10:01 Speaker 2: No doubt. 01:10:02 Speaker 17: You can't lie to God. 01:10:03 Speaker 10: Can't lie to him. Oh. 01:10:05 Speaker 21: That's the word for the day, people. Let us digest on that all this week. 01:10:10 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thank you, Rick. 01:10:13 Speaker 10: All right. And we'll blow up the day. 01:10:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, what a blessing he is. I love that, man. All right. 817 and some change. 01:10:21 Speaker 38: You spend hours raking the leaves from your yard only to have to rake them again and again and again. If only all the leaves could fall at once.

I've discovered something that... It should be obviously apparent to me being born at the tail end of 1960. I'm a 20th century guy living in a 21st century world. And, you know, it's like somebody who was born after the civil war, finding themselves still alive with the industrial revolution going on and cars on the road for the first time. It's, it's kind of similar, I guess. But I get a little sick and tired, and maybe some of my fellow boomers, as we're called, can relate to this. Please stop blaming the baby boomers for the problems of today. Because that was several generations ago. I mean, if you're going to get the blame game going, I'd say in 2026, you've got to blame the millennials. Because they have sparked Gen Z and Alpha. Not us. We're like the kindly old grandparents who just want the best for the next generations. We've not spoiled the punch or the soup or anything else. I'm proud. I wear my Boomer badge like a badge of honor. And I'm proud to do so. So, you know, the next time you're looking at somebody like me and calling me a geezer and blaming me for your problems, you know, maybe, maybe look to the generation before you. Not because, I mean, you could blame us, I guess, for Gen X or you could blame us for millennials. So I guess we're back to square one, aren't we? Gifts from Wally on the way and a visit with Mo Egger before we're done on the Saturday morning edition. It's 825. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and I'm proud that I'm a geezer. 01:15:10 Speaker 10: 700-WLW. 01:15:10 Speaker 39: Hey, it's Mo Legger. Schools are back. So are school injuries.

The home of the best Bengals coverage. 01:15:43 Speaker 29: It's the Bengals and Falcons battling it out in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. The action right here on 700 WLW. Bengals head coach Zach Taylor testing out his Spanish while there. 01:15:53 Speaker 19: In Cantha, Madrid. 01:15:57 Speaker 6: That's all I got. 01:15:58 Speaker 29: Taylor hopes that the Bengals brand becomes well known in who day in Spain. 01:16:03 Speaker 30: Our colors, um, stand out, you know, is that our colors? I think our logo, um, is iconic to me. I, I, I like seeing that. 01:16:12 Speaker 19: All over the world. 01:16:14 Speaker 30: Um, so I would encourage the Spanish fans to buy as much Bengals gear as they can and wear it proudly and say who day that's our, that's our saying who day. So, uh, You can utilize that all over Spain, all over Madrid, and we'll respond back with who day. And so let's get everybody in Spain yelling who day. Every time they see anybody wearing orange or black, that'd be great. 01:16:36 Speaker 24: And is he a fan of these international games in the NFL? 01:16:39 Speaker 19: I love it. 01:16:41 Speaker 30: I think growing our sport internationally is the right thing to do. I think it's once people understand it, it's a lot of fun to watch. And now that we're obviously expanding into more cities to go play games and I embrace it, and I embrace growing the Bengals brand as well. 01:16:59 Speaker 19: I think it's an important one. It's one I love dearly. 01:17:01 Speaker 30: Again, I think we've got a whole team full of players that, you know, a lot of. 01:17:07 Speaker 19: Them are known worldwide. 01:17:09 Speaker 30: And so I think it's really exciting to get them out here in a country like Spain and let people get to see that and embrace it and learn more about them. 01:17:15 Speaker 19: And they've got great personalities, as you all well know. 01:17:18 Speaker 29: And what does Taylor know about sports in Spain? 01:17:21 Speaker 19: Spain won the World Cup, right? 01:17:23 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:17:24 Speaker 19: I was here yesterday looking for it. It's not here. It's traveling around Spain. I learned that. 01:17:29 Speaker 30: It's on a little tour of Spain. But I did my best to find it. 01:17:35 Speaker 10: You know, I. 01:17:37 Speaker 30: Know it's a big soccer country. That's their number one sport. I'm not quite sure how much they know about our game yet. Hopefully they'll learn a lot over the course of this week. 01:17:47 Speaker 29: And as far as the Falcons are concerned, they enter the game at 3-5. They feature running back Bajon Robinson along with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. 01:17:56 Speaker 30: This is a really good team. They're

really well-rounded in all phases. Obviously their running back is as dangerous as he is in this league. and they're able to focus a lot of things around that, which is stuff Kevin's always done a great job of, and Bill Callahan and all the guys they got with the run game and the play actions and the nakeds and the screens. I think Michael does a great job delivering the ball in a drop-back manner. 01:18:19 Speaker 24: With head coach Zach Taylor, Seg Denison, 700 WLW. 01:18:24 Speaker 2: You've been listening to Who Day Today, brought to you by Western and Southern Financial Group on 700 WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage. 01:18:34 Speaker 6: Not sure about that repair or estimate? 01:18:36 Speaker 11: Get a free second opinion from Bartels Heating and Cooling. 01:18:39 Speaker 6: No cost, no pressure. We'll inspect, explain your options. 01:18:42 Speaker 2: This is for Mike Allen. A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other in a flight from L.A. to New York. The lawyer asks if she'd like to play a fun game. game. The blonde, who's tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer is persistent and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, I'll ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $ 5 and vice versa. Again, she declines, tries to get some sleep. The lawyer is agitated. Now he says, okay, if you don't know the answer to my question, you pay me $ 5. And if I don't know the answer to your question, I'll pay you $ 500. Well, this catches the blonde's attention and figuring there'll be no end to this unless she agrees. Says, sure, let's go ahead. The lawyer asked the first question. What's the distance from the earth to the moon? The blonde doesn't say a word. She just reaches into her purse, pulls out a five, hands it to the lawyer, and says, thanks. The lawyer says, okay, your turn. She asks the lawyer, what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs? The lawyer, who's puzzled, takes out his laptop, searches for all of his references. No answers. He taps into the earphone with his modem, searches the net, Library of Congress to no avail. Frustrated, he sends emails to all of his lawyer friends and co-workers. Still can't get an answer. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, hands her $ 500 in cash. The blonde says, thank you, and turns back to get some sleep. The lawyer, who is more than just a little miffed at losing $ 500 to the blonde, wakes her up and says, well, what's the answer? Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $ 5, and goes back to sleep. 01:20:32 Speaker 11: News Radio 700 WLW, an iHeartRadio station. 01:20:36 Speaker 6: Guaranteed human. 700 WLW. iHeartRadio. 01:20:42 Speaker 33: It is Ryan Seacrest here. There was a recent social media trend which consisted of flying on a plane with no music, no movies, no entertainment. But a better trend would be going to... Or

as Matthew McConaughey says, all right, all right, all. 01:20:55 Speaker 11: Right, all right. 01:20:55 Speaker 2: 8.41 on a Saturday morning. And now, live from Houston, Texas, the man who will be doing his best Dan Hort impression, calling the Bearcats game, Mr. Mo Egger. 01:21:15 Speaker 10: Hey, Mo! 01:21:17 Speaker 18: Gary Jeff, how we doing? 01:21:18 Speaker 2: Doing fine, man. So, Houston, beautiful Houston, Texas, on a Saturday morning. How are things in Houston? 01:21:27 Speaker 8: Sunny, warm, and should set the scene for an interesting game for the Bearcats, who, you know, a week ago, they were coming off the high of the big upset victory over Texas Tech. And then that was quickly evaporated by a 42-6 deficit against Houston. So hopefully not something similar today. 01:21:47 Speaker 2: Well, not, they weren't, 42-6 deficit, not to Houston, but who'd they play? Utah, yeah. Well, Utah is what, the second ranked team in the country? third Utah's unbeaten. 01:21:58 Speaker 22: Yeah. 01:21:59 Speaker 8: Uh, really, really good. Um, Bearcats were very complicit in their own demise. What's interesting though about Houston is Houston's last game came against Utah and the Cougars shut out the Utes for the entire first half. 01:22:14 Speaker 2: Well, it is a 60 minute game as, uh, as the Bearcats hopefully have learned by now. And there are a lot of teams that should learn. It's a 60 minute game. Uh, a few Bengals opponents, uh, to name of, to name one or two. So, um, Dan Hoard is actually in Madrid with the Bengals for the broadcast tomorrow. And I heard that the last I heard he was, uh, he was with Zach Taylor searching for the world cup because did you hear that from, from Zach? He said, I, I've never been to Spain. Spain won the world cup. I haven't found it yet. So I, I didn't know that that was one of Zach's missions while he was over in Madrid was actually searching for the world cup. 01:23:03 Speaker 8: Well, uh, I hope he realizes his goal. I hope that mission takes a backseat to not getting beaten by the Atlanta Falcons and, and, uh, we'll see. But yeah, I, I have talked to Dan a little bit. I know he's having a blast. I've talked to Tony Pike. 01:23:18 Speaker 18: Who's over there. You know, the, the, the fun thing about Tony, Tony has the, the pallet. of like a six-year-old boy. 01:23:25 Speaker 10: Oh, really? 01:23:26 Speaker 8: He is the least adventurous eater of all time. So from the moment we found out he was going to be doing Bengals games this year, I've been wondering, how's Madrid going to work out? How's he going to handle the local cuisine? And so he has found a few things, but I don't think either he or Dan or Zach to this point have found the World Cup. 01:23:45 Speaker 2: Mo, looking for food in foreign countries is something that, well, I've never been to a foreign country, so... But it's something that I would definitely be adventurous in doing if I were there. Just from watching like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern go to all these places all over the globe and see them sampling the different delicacies in certain countries. But Spain has always interested me as a food destination because I love tapas. I love little bites of anything. You know, and I see this. I see the olives in there. the canned fish and oil and all that stuff. And I go, man, yeah, that's me. I want to try that. I want to do that. And the few places around here, there was an Argentinian restaurant here for a little while that featured tapas, had a whole tapas menu. And I went there once and thoroughly enjoyed it. But I'd have to pack a lot of tapas money if I was in Madrid, I think, this weekend. I talked to Liam Tomlinson, who's there earlier this morning, Had a live report from Madrid. And he was crowing about the Madrid McDonald's. He thought it was the coolest thing that they had $ 2 beer at the Madrid McDonald's. You know, nothing says a party like Liam and $ 2 beer at McDonald's to me. 01:25:15 Speaker 18: Well, I can confirm. I haven't been to Madrid. 01:25:18 Speaker 8: But I went to Amsterdam when the Bengals played in London in 2016, a group of us went and two of us took a little side overnight trip to Amsterdam and our hotel was next to a McDonald's. Now the McDonald's food did not taste like McDonald's food that you get in. 01:25:34 Speaker 18: The U S but they had beer. 01:25:36 Speaker 8: I don't remember if it was $ 2 beer, but I had to get one. 01:25:38 Speaker 18: I did. 01:25:40 Speaker 8: Uh, coincidentally, that's exactly Tony Pike loves McDonald's. So when they got to Madrid, that's the very first thing he did. He didn't tell me about the $ 2 beer, but he did say that the McDonald's in Madrid was not as good as the McDonald's that he visits in Kenwood. 01:25:52 Speaker 18: I think every single day. 01:25:54 Speaker 2: So the, did the McDonald's in Amsterdam also have girls in the window? 01:26:01 Speaker 18: No, but everywhere else too. 01:26:02 Speaker 21: Yeah, right. 01:26:03 Speaker 2: Exactly. Okay. So, uh, the Cougars, do they face certain particular issues for the Bearcats? I mean, you never know until you get on the field and you watch them play, but what do you think? 01:26:17 Speaker 8: Best team in the country at converting on third down. And the reason is because they're awesome on first down. Scott Satterfield talked about it this week that, you know, they're great at converting on third down because they're not facing third and 10 and third and nine, they're facing third and one. And so They don't have the world's most explosive offense, but they're really good at, okay, it's first down. Now it's second and five. Now it's third and one. Now we can convert their quarterback. Connor Wigman has 20 touchdowns against just two interceptions. 01:26:46 Speaker 18: And so offensively, they're very, very efficient. 01:26:48 Speaker 8: When you look at them defensively, there's nothing that really jumps off the page with the exception of the fact that they

have 12 takeaways in the first half. I think here, what they're talking about is can Houston stop Cincinnati running back Cole tab, who averages nearly 10 yards of carry. Bearcats are really going to have to lean on him today. This team, when they've been competitive, it's been because they don't turn over the football. What happened last week in the first half, Utah scored on every possession, but I think the Bearcats still could have at least hung in the game had they not given Utah two defensive touchdowns. If that happens today, I think today is going to follow a similar script. If the Bearcats can hang on to the football and find a way to win on first down on defense, I think they've got a shot. 01:27:31 Speaker 2: Well, you know, and you talk about following a similar script and that's not something you want to read out of this Bearcats team, uh, this week, what you're describing, but man, there, there are some similarities between, you know, if they lose today, there are similarities between this season and last season with the Bearcats. 01:27:51 Speaker 18: And the year before and the year before. 01:27:53 Speaker 19: Yeah. 01:27:54 Speaker 12: Yeah. 01:27:54 Speaker 8: You know, Scott Satterfield has just one win in the month of November. Um, They play at Iowa State next weekend, which is not going to be easy. They do have a home game against Colorado, which I expect the Bearcats to be favored in. And the season ends up with a game against BYU. And so, you know, they're a win away from bowl eligibility. I think all things considered, most would say that that is at least a mild. 01:28:18 Speaker 18: Success for this season. But the track record is what it is. 01:28:21 Speaker 8: And I think what last week did, you know, if you go back to last season, they played Utah on Halloween weekend. They were 7-1. They got destroyed. And things snowballed from there. I think there's a very legitimate fear that we may see something similar this year, and that is not going to help the already built in fan discontent that exists when it comes to this program. 01:28:43 Speaker 2: Yeah. I, you want to talk about fan discontent? Uh, you could look no farther than, uh, than Columbus for Ohio state fans, but they're, they're discontented unless they blow everybody out every game. So, uh, I think the big success story that people are pointing to in this area in college football has to be the fighting. Will Stein's the Kentucky wildcats who are going for, uh, another sec victory today against Tennessee. It's going to be a tough game. And that's the, the state line rivalry every year, the border rivalry of, uh, UK UT that Tennessee usually has the upper hand in, I guess, over the, the full course of the time they've been playing. But, uh, Number six in the country against number 13. And the Wildcats, man, they have really, really surprised a lot of people. 01:29:35 Speaker 26: You? 01:29:36 Speaker 8: Best story in the sport, as far as I'm concerned. For Kentucky to go into November in college football playoff contention, I think in year one of Will Stein's time in Lexington is pretty awesome. They're one of these teams, if you just look at the statistics, there's not a lot that really wows you, but they just. 01:29:56 Speaker 2: Find ways to win. 01:29:58 Speaker 8: They have just found ways to figure out how to score one more point than the other team. I think that sort of undercuts how good Kenny Minchie has been at quarterback. I think they have a quarterback advantage in this game. 01:30:11 Speaker 18: We'll see. 01:30:12 Speaker 8: I mean, the SEC has been insane this year with all these two lost teams, which would suggest that if Kentucky stumbles today, they still have a chance to make the college football playoff. 01:30:24 Speaker 18: But if they win today, boy, we. 01:30:26 Speaker 8: Really kick it in a hyper drive because I do think this is their toughest remaining game that they have. They still have to play Missouri. They still have to play Florida. They still obviously have the game against the University of Louisville. But yeah, I think what has been a fun story so far this season really turns into something different if they win today. And I don't know anybody who's watched Kentucky find ways to win again and again and again and again this year. I don't know that anybody, based on that, would discount their chances tonight. 01:30:53 Speaker 2: How do you feel about the prospect of a 2014 playoff for the national championship, Mo, that's been floated? 01:30:59 Speaker 18: I don't like it. 01:31:02 Speaker 8: I think this season we've had so many awesome Saturdays that have a direct impact on this year's playoff field that I think that that severely gets diminished in a 2014 field. I think if you look at the first college football playoff rankings this year, you'll see three lost teams like South Carolina. You'll see three lost teams that have resumes that aren't all that impressive, that have multiple three touchdown losses. Those teams would not only have a chance to make the college football playoff, some of them would make the college football playoff with 24. It's not providing an entryway to smaller schools. Um, we're going to get 23 playoff games and I'm a big believer in playoff games are supposed to feel special. I don't think when you have 23 of them, they feel special. I just, the special thing about college football to me has been to compete for a national title. You've always had to be excellent. Now it was too exclusive with two teams. It's too exclusive with four. I think they've kind of found the sweet spot with 12 where you have to have a great year. But it's forgiving enough that you could have a loss or two. I think everybody feels like they have access to it right now. 24, I think, just torpedoes the regular season. There's going to be no incentive for teams, for programs to schedule good non-conference games. We're going to have four, and I don't think it's

beyond the realm of possibility, five lost teams competing for a national championship. There's nothing about it that I like. 01:32:32 Speaker 2: All right. Fair answer. Listen, I wanted to talk about NFL playoffs. and trades and deadlines and the like. Is there anything on the horizon for the Bengals you see? 01:32:45 Speaker 8: You know, it's the thing we've talked about now for a week. There has to be, because I think you could look at the standings right now, look at the seven teams that occupy playoff spots. Those are the seven teams that are going to be in the postseason, and the Bengals are one of those teams. So how do you differentiate yourself between yourself and the rest of the contenders and You got to address your biggest weaknesses. Other teams already have. The Bengals' biggest weaknesses continue to be linebacker play, defense up the middle. 01:33:14 Speaker 18: They could use help at corner. They could use help at safety. 01:33:16 Speaker 8: Now, a lot of people are writing about Jonathan Taylor, the Indianapolis Colts running back, somebody who comes here, and marvelous player. And he would certainly give them one more weapon on offense. But to me, prioritizing him at the trade deadline leans further into what you've been now for a few years, which hasn't worked. Which what was last week? Last week was we're not going to stop anybody. We're not going to tackle anybody. We're not going to block anybody. But Joe, Jamar and T are just going to do some awesome stuff and we're going to skate by. They have to continue to make upgrades on defense at five and two in the thick of things. 01:33:51 Speaker 18: There's no excuse for them not to. We'll see. You know, there's lots of reports. 01:33:56 Speaker 8: Of how active they've been when it comes to reaching out to teams that are looking to sell. 01:34:01 Speaker 18: Other teams are going to get better. Will the Bengals? It's the big question as we get closer to four o'clock on Tuesday. 01:34:06 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, the biggest impact I saw of a player that got traded from one team to another is Jeffrey Simmons. Putting that guy in the middle of that Bears defense at defensive tackle is Unbelievable. That guy we've talked about having the luxury of having Dexter Lawrence here, and he's made a, he's made a difference upfront for the Bengals. There's no question about that Mo, but Jeffrey Simmons. He, he almost single-handedly won that game for the bears. He was so dominant. Wasn't he? 01:34:42 Speaker 10: He was awesome. 01:34:43 Speaker 8: The first play of the game, it gets a sack and, and, and an already really good Chicago team goes to Seattle and beats the defending world champions. And it's interesting, if you look at the Las Vegas odds to win the NFC, even before that game, they switched dramatically in favor of the Chicago Bears. A guy like that, at that position, can make a world of difference. You saw it in Chicago. We've seen it here with Dexter Lawrence. I mean, Dexter Lawrence saved the game last week against the Tennessee Titans. So you're looking for impact players. You're looking for depth. And here, you're certainly looking for upgrades at areas where, for a while now, you simply haven't been all that good. 01:35:23 Speaker 2: We'll listen to your play-by-play today with the Bearcats and the Cougars, and have a great time in Houston, Mo. Thanks a lot. Counselor, real quickly, what's on Saturday midday? Drew, can you turn on mic four, please? Okay, go ahead, Mike. 01:35:40 Speaker 26: It's going to be a recap of the debacle on Tuesday night. Just kind of talking about it, I'm going to give my opinion as to what maybe some of the reasons are, but. 01:35:51 Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is, Mike. It was bad. Take heart in this. Voters did not reject conservatism. 01:35:57 Speaker 8: No. 01:35:58 Speaker 2: They did not. They rejected high gas prices and grocery prices. And they rejected maybe the Iran war. But they did not reject conservatism. They did not vote for socialism. I agree. 01:36:10 Speaker 26: I agree. 01:36:11 Speaker 2: That may be what they're going to get, but that's not what they voted for. Hey, listen, it's going to be an interesting next couple of years. That's for darn sure. All right. Listen, we've got to run. After the show show at Sitting Bull there in Southgate, I'll be there from 11 to 2. Mike Allen in Saturday Midday is next. 01:36:31 Speaker 27: Brothers and sisters, I know you're worried. I know you're going through trying times. We all are because we're all in this together. Let me, Bill Cunningham, help you. Let me help ease your concerns, keep you informed, and raise your spirits. 01:36:47 Speaker 2: I'm here for you. All you have to do is listen to me, the great American. 01:36:51 Speaker 28: Bill Cunningham, Monday at 12 noon on 700 WLW. 01:36:57 Speaker 6: Could you use a hand with gas?
