Once again. Time to bring in the great prognosticator that happens to be my wife, christ to two point zero after Week twelve of the NFL season with her game picks. She doesn't do point spreads, just picks winners and losers. She bounced back and was twelve and four. So Week thirteen, baby, are you ready? Oh yeah? Seattle Seahawks play the Dallas Cowboys in Big d Dallas doesn't lose games at home? Do they lose this one? Now? The Cowboys got this one, all right. Colts play the Tennessee
Titans. I will have to go with the Colts, all right. Check Atlanta Falcons, who actually won last week? You missed that one? Playing the New York Jets. Who wins? Falcons Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, jay E Ts Jets, Jets Jets. Lions take on your beloved New Orleans Saints. Lions. Broncos against the Texans in Houston. Let's get with Let's go with the Texans, all right. Chargers play the hapless New
England Patriots in Foxborough. Chargers Arizona Cardinals play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers, sorry, m Miami Dolphins are in our nation's Capital to play the Commanders. You mean the Redskin, Yeah, that team. I'll go with the Dolphins, all right. The Carolina Panthers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Who wins the Chiefs Packers game the Chefs and the Bengals play the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. I'm gonna go with the Bengals. You think the Bengals are gonna beat the Jags? That a girl? Yeah, all right, Well we'll see how you do, my dear. It's like I said, it was nice
to bounce back week eleven. You did not do well. You were like four and eleven. No, it's not, but last week you had lots to give thanks for. And again, if you're way above five hundred on the season with these game picks, if you were betting fifty dollars for each of these games to win, you'd be ahead of the money. And I probably wouldn't have to do this. No, I wouldn't have to work this thing. Ah, there you go. Okay, but you'd share right,
right of course. Okay, baby, love you see you when I get home. All right, all right, be careful walker. And our old friend, and I don't mean to carp at his age, because I think I may have a year or two on him. But our old friend, old radio Rick Rick Washburn, who has been on this program many times in the past on our American History on the Radio segment. We've got another one of those tonight, and I'm excited about it. Ricky. How are you?
Hey? I'm doing great, Gary, Jeff And yeah, you got it warned a couple of years on me, buddy, But yeah, we're up there. You're not doing too badly for an old friend. What were we focusing on tonight? What are you going to talk about? So a little bit off of the history on the radio idea, This is more about
I call it the good, the funny, and the ugly. It is some interesting details about a few radio stations, including WLW, and then want to tell the three part tragic tale of a radio station in Atlanta that just proves that not just because you're in management, maybe you don't have all the answers. Indeed, there's no question about that. I see examples of that, not recently, but I've seen plenty. Anyway, Before I get myself
into a corner here, let's let's get with the good. Indeed, well, okay, so we got to give the shout out to WLW, and we know that that station, your station has been around forever, seemingly, and at one time it is the only station in the US that ever transmitted at five hundred thousand watts correct is during the nineteen thirties and with it was basically a government experiment, and it worked wonderfully well in terms of reception and
being able to even reach out to troops overseas and so forth. It didn't work out so well unfortunately for individuals who that lived near the transmitting tower. Let's say the stories about you know, picking up the radio station on your braces, on your plumbing toilets, right exactly. The RF can be incredible just with a regular one thousand wat transmitter or a tower near you. If you've got five hundred thousand watts coming at you, the milk out of those
cows is going to glow. There's no question. Oh yes. And you know they always say in the military, and even one of your guests on Saturday, the gym guy I forgot his name, Rocco. Yeah, Rocco. When you put the cell phone to your head, you're putting a transmitter right next to your brain. The military always says, don't do that. Ham radio operators learn, don't do that. I'm going with their advice,
so I use the speaker phone anytime I can. Yes, sir, I'm the same way now, and don't walk underneath the five hundred thousand transmitting tower. Trust me at one end. Well, all right, so that's that's kind of a good highlight. You said you had good, funny and ugly. What's what's funny? Well okay, well, okay, so I was going to call out one. I think it's funny because it's one of those weird contests like the University of Texas and Purdue University always argue about which one
of their marching bands has the world's largest based drum. That's a good use of time. Katie KA is credited with the first commercial broadcast, but there are those who claim that CBS in Los Angeles, it's me I actually had the first commercial broadcast. What's the truth, Well, since there were tape recorders around, there were not everybody cut every copies of every single transmission. Kind of hard to tell. And then another interesting fact about Katieka being the
only station with call letters starting with K that's east of the Mississippi. It wasn't because the standard didn't exist yet that W was east of the Mississippi and K was west of the Mississippi. But it was just that there a hope. They used to give call letters to maritime operators votes every single one of
them had a transmitter. They were running out of letters pretty quick, so they decided to stop doing that and they recycled them and KATIEKA was assigned in the station, had the opportunity to change to A to a W call letter and they chose not to. Yeah, Katieka is not the only one though. There's KYW in Philadelphia, and for an example of west of the Mississippi with AW, there is WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, and there is
WOW in Omaha, Nebraska. So there are some stations that crossed the line while crossing the line, but Katika, probably first and foremost, is the one that everybody thinks of because of that first commercial broadcast in nineteen twenty. The nineteen twenty harding Cock's election results were apparently commercially sponsored. Who would do that? I have no idea. I was just updating my biography to mention that as of eight forty seven this morning, I knew everything. I'm going
to have to take that down. You're the expert. You're supposed to know, all right, I haven't known everything since I was seventeen years old. That's great. I love that. What other stories do you have? For as old Rick on the Wow WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana, whoa there?
Yeah, well they're on air. Talent was said, don't ever call it wo wo until in the nineteen sixties they had a contest for listeners to find the whoa sound in current songs on the radio when money was paid whatever, And after that it be kind it became wo wo and they embraced it is their thing. But what I thought was funny too about them was WLW World's loudest wireless or now as you would say, world's lowest wages. Yes, WGN was World's greatest newspaper, and WOO was dubbed Wayne as in Fort
Wayne offers wonderful opportunities. Well contrived, but they tried. Geez well, WSM and Nashville stood for we serve millions. Oh that's nice, not bad. And I'm trying to think of some other call letters that actually stood for something besides the station itself and identifying the station, and there are plenty of them out there. Also in Nashville, WLAC was owned by the Life and
Casualty insurance company. Oh, there you go. I think WSM in Nashville was the home of the grand O Lotpry was owned by an insurance company as well. At the start the speaking of insurance, well, okay, that's a stretch. But the WOHO always jokes about having the world famous fire escape, and part of that came because in nineteen seventy seven, when they were starting to get used to their new location. Back then, WOAH was a
fifty thousand watt clear channel station. There were a flame thrower, and the on air host was very popular. Bob Severs took his first on air walk out of the fire escape, and he was on the air when he did it, and people knew and every car driving by would honk and wave at him. And it's just showed how popular they were, especially in Fort Wayne. Not surprisingly, and of course they get the world famous part because they
were received up into Canada without any problem. But the thing I thought was funny is they still talk about and I don't think the situation is true anymore. I'm not sure, but they always talk about, you know, the
weather. They report the weather from the world famous fire escape. Well, it turns out that when smoking was no longer allowed in the studios was probably back in the eighties or early nineties, the world famous fire escape was where all the employees and on air talent whatever, they'd go out there to catch a smoke, but there was a sign on the door that required them to note what the weather was like and report back to the on air talent.
So instead of a meteorologist, which at the time they couldn't afford, they just got the up todate whether of whatever was happening at the studio. I mean, you know what media urologist is about the same as a chainsmoker. They just they just used different pointers. So so get to the let's get to the ugly. I want to get into this story because I love this
story. Uh okay, well, you know one of the you know, one of my favorite TV shows is WKRP in Cincinnati, And I bring that up because and I'm sure you're in the same boat if I expect you've watched
the show. But I'm sure you're in the same boat where some of the jokes really land because I briefly and your entire career has been spent in a radio station and there's always those situations that are either uncomfortable or unfathomable or whatever, and you just you really get the joke more than the average person was,
even though it's still funny. Kind of like watching Airplane. One time, I watched it with a retired air traffic controller and he laughed at jokes that I didn't think were funny, but once he explained them to me, it's like, oh, air traffic controllers and pilots would be the one who really got that joke. It's like telling plumber jokes to a plumber. Nobody else gets it but the plumber. Uh, you know, you're just You're
just one. You're just one p trap away from hilarity anyway, Yes, So what was the So the point is that the interesting thing I thought about the bu KRP is from the documentaries and the commentaries, they point out that they were never at a loss for plot point ideas because fans and other folk and friends and what have you. Advisors would all give them true stories of
what happened at different radio stations. Even the infamous Turkey Day celebration episode where they threw live turkeys out of a helicopter was loosely based on something that actually happened to the station in Florida. So I mean that there are some crazy stories that go on the stations. And now what I'm going to present here is in three parts, and it's not particularly funny enough to go to the WKRP ryder Droom plus is a little late. Can you do it? Can
you do? Can you do it? In five minutes? If I don't interrupt, I can all right, I can't go ahead? Go ahead? Okay, So we're talking twenty five or thirty years ago. There's basically three stations in Atlanta that do news talk. There's WCNN. They left the market soon after. Wen't enough advertisers WSB very much like WLW fifty thousand watt am flamethrower, mostly local talent, and they killed the ratings in every time slot. And then there was WGST, which actually stood for Georgia was the Georgia
State Technology University or something like that. It was a very low power AM simulcast on a low power FM station. You couldn't even pick it up all around Atlanta. But the very young management there were convinced that they were the smartest ever. They were going to make this station the greatest things in slice
spread and even put the fifty thousand flamethrowder shame. And the one thing that they did early on which was smart is somehow they got Rush Limbaugh from noon to three, right, and okay, so the interesting thing is this part
one, which is very quick. One day, during Rush Limbaugh's show, he was talking about an upcoming presidential election, talking about the primary candidates, what they were up to and some of the really stupid things every one of them said, and Rush just made an offhanded comment, at this rate, I should run for president. Well he was obviously kidding, but at the news break, WGST broke into breaking news and the news director announces, Rush
Limbaugh announce it is kendidate for president. Your candidacy for president now, no doubt people listening to WGST, like myself at the time, either called or emailed. I did. I was in the car. But when Rush came back after the top of the hour, he had this to say, Oh, actually you want to do the you know the story, you want to do the impression. Here in my formerly oxy cotton stained fingers, I have a fax from WGST in Atlanta. Apparently apparently they think that I'm running for
president. Friends, there is a great lesson to be learned from what has happened with this announcement. Those who can do, those who cannot teach, and those who can't do or teach apparently become news director at WGST in Atlantaka, you nailed it all right, So the rest of the story goes and so okay. Obviously the management WGST was none too happy about this quote unquote shout out that they got licking their wounds, and especially the news direct Oh,
they wanted revenge. Well, when the what is it the armatron ratings whatever, the quarterly ratings. Okay, they came out, and they noticed too. They noticed that Rush on their station was losing to WSB, who, because they couldn't compete with Rush with a political show, had Doctor Laura on. And they thought, wait a minute, Doctor Laura is syndicated by
the same company that owns our station. So they giggled in themselves and put in the requirement to move Doctor Laura off of WSB, move her to WGST, so they could trample WSB in the ratings, and and they tried not to tell WSB for a long time. Course WSB their managements treatment, you're taking doctor Laura away and we can pick up Rush. Okay, Yeah, Well, when the ratings came out, of course, Rush on WSB just it was a record breaker of ratings for that time slot for Atlanta for decades,
no doubt. But then again, when you're competing between fifty thousand watts and five thousand watts, your fifty thousand watch station's gonna have more listeners. And there's more too than that, of course, But anyway, Oh so now they're really embarrassed, and since Rush isn't there anymore, they start to hamorrhage advertisers and what little money they had coming in went down. Now there
was a young fella. They were going through morning hosts like Murphy Brown, went through secretaries, but they finally found a young guy named Sean Hannity who seemed to do okay, and he went syndicated and got them some fame in
some listeners. But anyways, they hit a lull after the syndication of Sean Hannity, and so finally they came up with a brilliant idea, and that was that there was a ten minutes after takeoff, the Value Jet flight five ninety two from Miami and bound for Atlanta crashed in the Everglades and every everybody
on board and perished. It was just, of course, they're all tragedies, but this one was just remember the news and went on and on and on because the FAA recovered the black box, and there was a long series of investigations. Well, when they were all done, the standard operating procedures, the FAA would release all the data from the black box, plus a
very extremely detailed transcript of the audio. Right, and keep in mind this is pre two thousand and one, pre nine eleven, so the cockpit door could have been wide open, so you're picking up a lot of audio. The GST management decided it would be brilliant to get their on air talent and other employees together and recreate the audio, and they hyped this. How horrific is that people are literally everybody on board lost their lives and they're recreating this
tragedy on it. That's insane. I tell you what. We're out of time, Rick sadly, but that is absolutely inexcusable and you could guess how it ended. Is the end of the story, yep, Rick Osburn, thank you very much. A little American history on the radio, more recent, and we appreciate all the help. Is always. We'll see you on the radio on Saturday morning. My friend got to take a break and come back seven hundred WLW. I have been looking forward to this conversation for quite
some time. It's been quite a while, so let's get right to it. Ryan Woods, Lady Maga USA joins us once again on the program, and Ryan, it is a pleasure. Thank you for making some time for us. There's a lot going on. We got a little bit of time, so let's get right into it. Tell me about Chloe Coles who Chloe is all right? Well, first, for those who are hearing us talk for the first time. I'm Ryan Woods. I play the character of Lady
maga Usa. I guess you could call it a drag character, dress up in a fabulous costume, but the message is you can dress up, but you're not a biological woman, and you should not be in women's bathrooms or women's sports or claiming that you're a woman. So Chloe Cole here in Utah. I worked with Senator Michael Kennedy and we testified and we got Senate Bill sixteen pass, which was the first legislation in America in twenty twenty three that
prevented the sterilization and the mutilation of children in the name of transgenderism. I testified with a young lady named Chloe Cole who was mutilated and drugged when she was a young teen, and of course, like most, she regretted what happened to her because it was in fact child abuse as a result of grooming.
So she's coming to Utah on the thirtieth. She's a hero. She has soccer, her youth, and her life to travel the country and warn people that these trans procedures on children are not benign, they are not medically necessary, they are in fact child abuse. So I just I really think the voices of de transitioners, which is what she calls herself, are so important, and of course they're ignored by the leftist media. And the reason, you know, I'm I believe in lgb not LGBT. I say,
cut the tea the heck away from common sense gay people like myself. I'm just gay. I don't represent this trans insanity that's happening across our nation, but I do feel fairly passionate about standing up against the sterilization and medicalization of children because I was the little boy that today they're telling is in the wrong body. So I've always loved pink, I've always loved princess. You know,
I still dress up with make up the whole nine yards. But I I am a biological man, and I have the blessing of living in my biological body as the man that I am, and children like I was are being told you're in the wrong body. You like pink, you like barbies, that means you're a girl. And it's just terrifying because they've actually completely eliminated the concept of you know, a girl who's a tomboy or a little
boy who's just a little light on his feet. You know, some little boys aren't into sports, they're not into Batman, And that doesn't mean they're in the wrong body. It just means they might have a more sensitive nature and they like toys that are smiling at them instead of toys that are based in conflict. So Chloe Cole is a very special advocate, and she and I are sort of similar in that, you know, we stand up against
the LGBTQ mafia with common sense and factual information. Actually, when I testified in favor of Senate Bill sick scene, afterwards, I posted this on my social media. People can just google Lady Maga USA, and I posted this video. There was a young girl with a beard and she was screaming, f you fu. You're ruining my life. You're ruining my life with your agenda. And I you know, the video is of this young essentially a
child screaming at me. Why is she screaming Because she's pumping her body full of testosterone. And even a man who pumps his body full of testosterone becomes more aggressive, more mentally unstable. And so I had to be escorted to my car by the Capitol, Utah State Capitol Police because a mob was forming around me. So they consider me a traitor because you know, I like
to dress up. I do the drag character lady Maga. I've been doing it for a number of years, even before I did it politically, and they militantly require, you know, that you adhere to their political agenda. It's a beehive. You cannot leave the hive, and if you do, they will come after you. They will slander you. You know, everywhere from Rolling Stone magazine all over the left just tries to credit and considers me a trader. Ryan. You don't dress up specifically for five year olds though,
No, exactly. No, I don't have any desire to convince other people's children to enjoy what I do. I do it for grown ups. And I think this drag queen story hour and this weird obsession with other people's
children is very abnormal and it's very predatory. There is no mainstream LGBTQ activist or organization like the Human Rights Campaign GLAD or even Equality Utah here in Utah that isn't focused on children, and their focus is trans children because it's a very convenient victim narrative that makes them look like the good guys savior of these potentially suicidal children, and it's nonsense. They need to leave the kids the
hell alone. I know the answer, but I want you to tell anyone listening the answer of why this is a globalist attempt to take down our society, the whole trans thing. Well, the end goal this sounds like a bit of a stretch, but it's not. The end goal of the global
elite is a police state. And so by destabilizing the mental health of a population, by destroying the traditional family, by destroying the very important concepts of gender and sex and the differences between the sexes and how they can compliment one another, by creating a drugged, mentally unstable, emotionally volatile population, we are more easy to control. So, just like black lives matter, just like an open borders, like the upcoming social credit scores, it's about control,
and it's about destabilizing what makes America strong. In China, they don't even allow of feminine men on public television. They are laughing as TikTok is pushing American and Western kids into this nonsensical, evil transagenda, and they have none of it. In China. So that tells you right there that our enemies are laughing as they destabilize and destroy the fabric of our families and of
our young people. And so that's what's behind the global elitists, you know, starting with George Soros, they are one, the World Economic Forum, all of it. They are one behind this transagenda because it ruins the lives and the minds of these young children. And if you have a mentally unstable population, it's a population that's easy to control and make them live in fear. I got thirty seconds, Ryan, tell me where people can find your
music. You've got four songs you've recorded. Yeah, they can go to LADYMAGAUSA dot bandcamp dot com. I've recorded four songs. I try to add up lifting and fun and patriotic pop music to the world. So LADYMAGAUSA dot bandcamp dot com. And they can just google Ladymaga USA and find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Ryan, You're the best, Ladymaga USA on seven hundred WLW. Listening to Scott Sloane keeps me from scratching my jocket.
People have made some strange claims about the Scott Sloane Show. Listening to Scott Sloane helped me become a playgiarist. We can promise you that Sloaney talks about the things you are talking about. Always ask the tough questions. Bud never forgets to have a little fun. Listening to Scott Sloan makes me feel sexy on the inside. Anything else is a Sloaney bonus. I swear it's true.
Scott Sloan tomorrow morning to nine on seven hundred w W Reds Fans, Now is the time to get your twenty twenty four season tickets so you don't miss a moment with a season ticket members. Also here he is Andy Furman. How's that for a short intro? Hey, that's great. I don't know if you'd like to have lists to say about Meia just I'm in the doghouse. But I got a question for you. It is amazing to me that more people in this community. I follow sports pretty highly and correctly the
way it should do. You said you follow it pretty highly. Is that what you said? Yeah? On my list of priorities. All right, yes, okay, more people are upset with the Bengals loss than FC Cincinnati's win. Think about that right, Am I right or wrong? I mean you mean more people are upset about the Bengals loss than they are excited about FC Cincinnati's moving on in the MLS. Play yes, yes, you got it, and I don't get it. And all of a sudden, now
Zach Taylor was there, ready to build a statue a year ago. I'm here in caller's on sports talk shows like they him gone. It's unbelievable. Hold on, what did Zack Taylor have to do with Joe Burrow's season ending injury? Nothing? I don't look, don't ask me, ask the callers that are doing this. They want him gone. They say we need a new coach. And look, there's a problem with the play call and we know that. And honestly, right now, I'm not going to blame Jake
Browning for the law school. I think he played admirable for a first time starter. You know, he got sacked, certainly through that interception, which is gunt wrenching, but other than that, he played good enough for that team to win. They can't stop the run, really, And there's another coach that the people are high and mighty on. A year ago at lou Ana Romo and now all of a sudden, they want him gone to Andy. And it had been fifty eight straight games since the Pittsburgh Steelers had four
hundred yards of offense against Eddy. They can't stop the runs. And you know, you talk about the Burrow injury and Jake Browning and all of that, that had nothing to do with that apps elude embarrassment at pay Court Stadium on Saturday or at Sunday against the Steelers. It had everything to do with the defense not showing up. Well, that's basically what I said. But that's okay, it's almost you second that that means I was right. Oh yes, the first one to tell me if I was wrong. I'm just
your little I'm just your little but boy agreeing with everything you say. What I know. It's kind of sad because basically it's the same team, did the same defense and the same coordinator. So I don't know what went south. I really don't understand the difference. I don't. I can't explain it. You know, I'm not a football maven. Let the coaches explain it. And obviously they can't seem to explain it either, because if they could,
they corrected. So since they gave up four hundred yards of offense to the Steelers, which you know that's that's a pitifully woeful audio offense in Pittsburgh, it really is. And they give up more than four hundred yards of offense to them. Is that Zach Taylor's fault? No, I mean, I'm he's the coast. I mean, anything that goes wrong or any success this team would have in any sport, it is the coach. The coach basically is the CEO, the head honcho of the business organization. It's all
about the coach. But I give you an example when Rick Pattino was coaching Louisville and Maddie's hookers going around had he kind of denied it. Hey, don't deny it. If you have to know what's going on twenty four to seven, you are the CEO of the operation. That's just the way it is. You have to know. Well, Rick Pattino seems to uh, or at least did at the time, like hookers and and some of them were masquerading as the wives of athletic trainers. I'm not going to go down
that road. I mean, you're you're saying something that could be alleged. I don't know it happened Rick Patino in a back room of a restaurant of a buddy of his having a tryst with the wife of of of like. Uh, it's one of these assistants, athletic assistance. I remember it was in Lexington. It was Italian restaurant. I believe in less. That was years ago, and they look, everybody has their fault. He's still a
great coach, and he's a Hall of Fame coach. But all I'm saying is this, I'm not I'm not concerned with his off the off the court antics, what he does in his private life, and that's his private life. I'm concerned with anything to do with his basketball business life. Anything that happens on the team has to fall back to him because he's the CEO,
and that goes with every coach and every sport on every level. Joe Paterno's entire career as as a championship head coach in college football was destroyed because one of his defensive coaches was abusing raping young boys. And they said, you know what, Jopa, you should know. You should have known about this. We think you did know about it, and now you're done. We're
going to tear down the statues. You know, you don't. You don't any of the credit for all of the wonderful things that you did, For all the wonderful men who came through Penn State and benefited from Joe Paterno's tutelage and everything that he taught them and gave them, that was all gone in an instant. It's called institutional control or lack of institutions. Was true, but that's just the way it is. That's his legacy. I'll go back
to this past weekend when Ohio State played Michigan and football. Honestly, I'm surprised there has been more pushback on the result of that game, because obviously Michigan won the game. I'm certain I thought for sure, maybe I'm really off face now. I thought somebody was gonna come out and say, well, Michigan won because they had to plays in advance, and no one said that, you know, allegedly, you know, they said that, you know, he was cheating, And I'll use the term allegedly, although there
has been some proof of some people have gotten fired over that. But I can't believe that getting plays in advance could really help. I'll give you an example, if Cincinnati had the plays against Kansas on Saturday, they still would have up bombarded because they're better athletes and better players. That's just the way it is. If Bowling Green State or Toledo were to play Georgia or Alabama and they had the plays in advance, they ain't winning. They're just not
that good. They're not good enough. So don't give me the garbage about the plays in advance. Look, Deon Sanders said it the best, the coach of Colorado. You gotta do it on the field. They gotta go mono way mono. They got to play at the game. You gotta get one on one and do it on the field. No, there's no question about that. And that's where it all. Uh, that's where it all shows up. So I mean, right, well, what did you do
today? Did you do anything fun today? Andy? I don't think there's any of your business what I've done today, to be honest, but I'll tell you, did you did you go to the did you go to the point and work? Yeah? I did know the point? And uh, did you go to the Rotary Club? Did you go to Rotary Club luncheon in Covington? I missed the Covington Rotary Club today for the first time in
months. I usually go every Tuesday for a good lunch and meal. But I just had too many, too many errands, had errands to do. I had to get my allergy shot today. I got my allergy shot once in a month. I did today, and I had to do some banking and a little shopping. So you know, it takes his time. What are you What are you allergic to? If anything? Everything? You name it? You know, grass, mold, trees, dust, dirt, animals, you know, talk show hosts, you name it. I'm listen,
canna ask if you were allergic to me? Only when you talk to me, all right, for ball, Thanks for thanks for seven minutes, seven and a half minutes of my life. I'll never get back. I appreciate pleasure. It always is a pleasure. Thank you. Andy Furman with us on the Nightcap as we continue on seven hundred WLW on the Nightcap on this Tuesday evening, seven hundred WLW and Garry Jeff at your service, And
so is our friend Dennis wild Man Walker. He's back again, my friends, because as long as he has a book to sell and he's living, he will be on the air, I guess, but it's always great to have him and I love his perspective on sports and wild Man. I got to tell you, just got off the phone a few minutes ago with the man that we call the fur Ball, Andy Furman, and he says that apparently there are a bunch of idiots around town calling for the head of Zach
Taylor because of the Bengals recent losing streak. Your thoughts is that a smart thing to be calling for the firing of a head coach, which all the fans do anytime the team is losing. And you know last year, as fur Ball mentioned, last year, they want to do erect as statue to him, and now they're calling for his head. I don't think that he had anything to do with Joe Burrow's injury. He may have had something to do. And you know, lou Annarumo has been long is one of the
great defensive coaches. They didn't look too darn good defensively on Sunday, did they. Gary jeff In all the years when I was at WEBN from nineteen eighty three to twenty eleven, I never ever called for the head of a Reds manager, never called for the head of a Bengals head coach, never called the head for a UC football coach or Xavier basketball coach or UC Bearcats
coach. There's other ways to improve this team. Zach Taylor. Yeah, I mean he drives you nuts with some of the stuff that he does on the sidelines. I'd like to see Zach Taylor just coached the team. Mike Tomlin. If you saw the game, Mike Tomlin's not calling any plays, is he. No, he's got an offensive coordinator, brand new offensive coordinator because he fired the other one Matt Canada about two weeks ago or a week ago. Yeah, you've got an offensive coordinator, why not try something different?
I mean you hired the guy to be able to defend. Coordinator and Gary Jeff When the Bengals went to their first Super Bowl might be before your time. Forrest Gray was the head coach, the offensive coordinator was Lyndy and Fonte. When the Bengals went to their second Super Bowl, Okay, yeah, Sam Watch was the head coach, Bruce Coslet was the offensive coordinator. They both were lousy head coaches and Fontan and Coslt, but they were very,
very good offensive coordinators. When Marvin Lewis took over. Bob brat Kowski was the offensive coordinator, and he started out pretty good and then he just got terrible. And Marvin wouldn't let wouldn't cut it, wouldn't cut him loose. Now Zach Taylor comes to town. Yeah, the Bengals went to the Super Bowl with with Zach Taylor on the sidelines and and Callahan up up in
the booth. But Zach Taylor's calling the place. I think Zach Taylor needs to just check his ego at the door and let Callahan call the plays the rest of the year. And here's what just drives me up for Wall. You've got all these talking head heads in town on your station, another station on TV. They don't have the guts to go in there and ask Zach Taylor would he be willing to relinquish his play calling duties. They are scared,
you know what I'm saying, scared, scared to death. I guarantee you if I was doing radio on a regular basis, I would go in there and I would direct that question as Zach Taylor. Zach, why don't you just give up the play calling for the rest of the season to see what this team can do they need to do something? I mean, this game against the Steelers, Gary Jeff, the game plan was pathetic. Why not impose your will from the get go like they did against the forty nine
ers and run the football. You're paying Joe mixonone five million dollars and he gets the ball six times. I mean, that's ludicrous, that makes no sense at all, and you're setting up Jake Browning to fail. And wait, and how ironic is this? Jake Browning's first start in the NFL is against the Steelers. Let's harken back to David Klingler, remember that name. Oh yeah, when he played against the Steelers, he got sacked like fourteen times. He was are worth a damn after that? And Brownie took a
number of hits plus he also was sacked four times. But why not imposed the lie? Because they knew what the Steelers were gonna do. They were gonna they were gonna rush the quarterback. But they didn't try to run the ball at all, and they got a decent running game when they when they give Mixing the ball more than six times, I'm beside myself. I mean,
yesterday you would have called I probably would have blown a gasket. I want that to happen, and I know I owe you a dollar, so I'm gonna give you a two dollar billion and give me a dollar and change. Uh. Okay, So here's the thing. Okay, the play calling pathetic, the game plan awful, not imposing their will or trying to establish any kind of a running game with Joe Mixing. Absolutely the reason that the
Bengals could only muster ten points in that game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But how in the world do you give more than four hundred years of yards of offense to a team that has not eclipsed four hundred yards of offense in fifty eight straight game I e. Visa vive the Pittsburgh Steelers. How do you do that? As a Bengals defense? When you give up only sixteen points? Scary? You should win that game. You really should sixteen points. And then come on, man, you should win that game. And hey,
they've got problems of covering tight end, as they really do. They have big time problems covering the tight end, and the Steelers exposed them on it. I mean, friar Mouth looked like all all world tight end, you know, and they're talking about, well, you know, he really hasn't shown up that much, but he is. He is their best tight end. But friar Mouth looked like a world beater against the Bengals. Yeah, it looked like the Bengals never even looking, you know, knew about
that guy. You think they would have, especially after that first long pass to begin the game, that they would have put somebody on him, locked him up as he was coming off the line. But no, they just let him run around out there and a Steelers running game. I wasn't surprised by that, but you know, they gave five hundred and they gave up five hundred yards, four hundred yards plus whatever they got sixteen points. Steelers'
offense stinks. They ain't going anywhere anybody, any Steeler fan things are gonna win a Super Bowl. They are delusional. We should get off the crack. Sixteen points. Come on, man, sixteen points the Bengals. You want to give up sixteen points? You should win the damn game the Bengals. Well, you know what last night, the Vikings gave up twelve to the Bears. Yeah, what about that? Well, I turned that game off. That was putting me to sleep. I went to I turned it
on and started watching Kojack the heck with that. So next week, the Bengals travel to Jacksonville to play Trevor Lawrence and the Jags. How much of a debacle is that going to be? Unless things change dramatically? Dramatically and you know, do you see it happening? I don't. I don't see Taylor, you know, really wishing me the calls to Callahan, who I'm told you know, draws up the plays and then it gives them. Then they look at it, and Taylor says, I'll call him whatever if I
can believe that. I just like to see Callahan earn his money and be the OC for the rest of the year. But Taylor won't do it. He won't do it. Well, how about this? How about this, wild man? How about this? How about Joe Burrow's on the sidelines. Why don't you let him call the damn place? Good question? And why is it? And when Joe Burrow comes back and good health, he should call the plays. I agree with God the man. He called the plays for God's sakes. Yep, all right, wild man, it's always always
enlightening. I appreciate your time tonight, wild man Walker, go ahead, Well, I see you at Redsfest. Uh, probably not unless I can get a media pass. I'll be there Friday. All right, talk to you soon, all right? Wild man Walker at Red's Fest on front. Folks, there he is seven hundred WLW. This is the nightcap. Meanwhile, in the enchanted forest there's a fairy godmother. I bet you're gonna see Cinderella. I suppose are you going to make her a beautiful dress for the

What if you put a radio in her pumpkin carry? We could all listen to Eddie and Rocky. Excellent idea. Eddie and Rocky give your day a fairy tale. Ended Eddie and rock Tomorrow afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW. File interest rates are on the rise everywhere else. At Genesis Diamonds,
we've got just the relief you need. This on seven hundred WLW. Joining us now Professor Bruce Gilly and Professor Gilly has a new book called The Case for colonialism. Yes, that word colonialism. It's supposed to be a bad word. We've all been told that about how the British and the Europeans went into these poor, oppressed countries and just further oppressed the peoples that were already living in those countries in Africa and the Middle East and elsewhere, and because
of that we have entire generations of victims. Maybe that these people became victims because they veered away from their colonialists or the people that had occupied and traveled to these places, and got away from the rule of law, from structure and society that colonialism provided. And I mean, this is totally against the grain of what you'll hear from most people when it comes to I mean, colonialism is a four letter word with a lot more letters to most people.
But doctor Professor Gilly makes the case in this book that it was actually a good thing. Professor Gilly, welcome to the program. How are you hi, I'm good, Nice to be here. Yeah. So this really turns what we have been told about modern history on its head, doesn't it. You're in the conclusions that you draw on this book and the research you've done. Tell me why you started out on this quest in the first place.
Well, I guess I studied political science and comparative developments, and I increasingly realized that the countries that had been colonies, especially British colonies, that had been held for longer, that had held onto their colonial inheritance more fast than places that had tried to demolish it, are today richard, more democratic,
more stable, have a better rule of law system. So, you know, you're not supposed to say this, but every one knows it in my world of political science, that that, you know, colonialism left behind great legacies. But why are we not allowed to say that anymore? Well, we were our country was a group of colonies, and we rebelled and revolted
against the British colonizers. Would you say that the United States of America benefited from turning away from those colonial masters or because of their original their original you know, presence on this continent is the reason the United States has survived as long as it has. Well, that's right. So if the United States had not been a British colony, it would have been a theocracy run by pilgrims and some native allies. It would not have been the great country it
is. So let's be clear that the greatest thing that ever happened to the United States was being called becoming a colony of Britain. And the fact that the independence of the United States came through a struggle was not unusual. The timing of self government was always something that was contested at the last moment. But the United States never decolonized in the sense of the United States gave up on the rule of law, on constitutional government, on markets, on property
rights, on accountable government. I mean, that was all something that came with being a British colony. So it's important for us to understand what did and did not happen in seventeen seventy six, lest we fall into the camp of thinking we're victims of colonialism and the best thing we ever did was to get rid of British well countries in Africa and in the Middle East that were
at one time colonized by sometimes the Bridge, sometimes the Portuguese. I mean, the Portuguese were famous world travelers four and five hundred, six hundred years ago, and they established colonies in flung places. What about the places in Africa and the Middle East where the colonizers were totally overthrown, and their way of government or governing was totally overthrown. How are those countries doing today?
Give me a couple of examples if you can, well. I mean, the greatest examples you can see today are the terrible despotisms in Zimbabwe, which of course used to be the bread basket of Southern Africa until they threw off first colonial rule and then white minority rule in nineteen eighty and promptly decided they were going to decolonize Zimbabwe, which means starvation, one party rule, dictatorship, and half the population fleeing to South Africa. That's actually a pretty classic
story. It's not that unusual. Ghana, which was really the jewel in West Africa as a British colony called the Gold Coast, came to power with this guy called Kwami Nakruma, who JFK thought was just a well guy leading his country like the George Washington of the Gold Coast. But he was a
tyrant. He was basically a puppet of the Soviet Union, nationalized the cocoa industry, sent this prosperous economy into a tail spin, and he didn't recover from one party dictatorship until well into the nineteen nineties, by which time there wasn't much left of this former flourishing, humane and wonderful place called the Gold
Coast. You make an excellent point, and I guess that's the reason you wrote the book, because it's full of excellent points which are obvious to anybody if they're being honest, intellectually honest, Professor Gilly in that when these one time colonial outposts our overrun, overtaken, revolution happens and they get rid of the colonialist, it almost always leads to a dictatorship, to a despot, to just totalitarian rule that benefits no one but the person who's the titular head
at the time. Correct. Yeah, you may have heard of a place called Yemen. You may know that Yemen has been in a civil war since more or less the mid nineteen nineties. The British had a colony in Yemen. It was called Aiden, based in the Port of Aiden and Aiden Protectorate, which was the surrounding areas most of what is now southern Yemen. The British created one of the most flourishing, busiest ports in the world at Aiden. It was the second busiest port after the port of New York in the
nineteen fifties. It was a crossroads of East and West. The Arab cultures were thriving, prosperity instability, but you know, the United Nations and the Soviet Union, and even to some extent the New York Times decided, well, Aiden was an example of colonial repression, so the British needed to be forced out. They tried to fight the insurgency, but they obviously were standing
alone. They abandoned Aiden, and Aiden then descended into civil war, was taken over by at North Yemen that was run by East Germany, and the country's been a failed state for thirty years. So colonialism starts to look a lot better in retrospect. Yeah, maybe without with the British still in control of Yemen, maybe we don't have hooty rebels firing rockets at our troops in Iraq right now, Professor Bruce Gilly. The case for colonialism, it's available
everywhere, and I appreciate your time tonight. It's very interesting. Thank you, good to be here. Absolutely, the Nightcab continues in moments. You're on seven hundred w If time wants again to talk to our guy about the climate, about the climate crisis, about the green breakdown that has yet to come, and we're actually seeing in little bits and pieces right now the one
and only not carbon neutral. Steve Gorum the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of four books on energy, climate change, sustainable
development, over one hundred thousand copies in print. Again I mentioned the latest one is green Breakdown, And Steve, we're going to talk a little bit about the UN Climate Conference that is right around the corner, and the calls for climate emergency and all the other hysterical, superstitious, not true things that are going on right now and being you know, actually perpetrated and then disseminated
by mainstream media, which we're proud not to be a part of. But Steve, good evening, how are you, hey, Dary, great to join you. Yeah, we have another climate conference starting up here, the thirty eighth I'm sorry, the twenty eighth conference of the parties at these have been going on for This will be the twenty eighth year. They started nineteen
ninety five, and this year we're gonna have set a record. They're going to have more than seventy thousand delegates that are going to go to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. They'll be flying there on their private jets and their commercial aircraft, and for each kilogram of jet fuel burned, that jet will admit about three point one six kilograms of carbon dioxide. And then they'll take limos and taxis to the Dubai Expo city and those are fueled by gasoline and
diesel fuel. There may be some electric vehicles, but they're going to be charged by the UAE electricity, which is eighty two percent produced by natural gas. Is this going to be one of the biggest carbon dioxide emitting events of the year, And when they all get done with it, it's not going to have a measurable effect on global temperatures in any case. Now, it is kind of ironic, isn't it that the Kingdom of Jubai, the riches
came from oil and fossil fuels. Correct. Yeah, it's one of the most opulent places on the planet, all fueled, no pun intended by fossil fuels and carbon emissions in the first place. It's just odd that we'd have all the handwringers there in the heart of oil country in the world talking about how we've got to get rid of evil oil and fossil fuels. I just find that it is. Yeah, they're going to push for a big statement
by everybody saying we have to get rid of hydrocarbon fuels. Fatti Fatig Biol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, will be there in twenty twenty one. He stated, and I quote, if governments are serious about the climate crisis, there can be no new investments in oil, gas and coal from now from this year. And a lot of people support his statement.
But mister Birel has a cell phone and everyone else at the conference does made from plastic from oil and gas that we're wearing suits, tie shoes, and other clothing which are mostly composed of synthetic fibers from hydrocarbons. They're going to dine on food produced on farms that use synthetic nitrogen fertilizer created from ammonia, which is produced from natural gas and coal fuels coal if you're in China, and hydrocarbons driver modern society. So it's one big convention of hypocrisy in
many many ways. Yeah. I mean, anytime you see characters like al Gore flying across the globe, on their private jet and then lecturing you on the use of fossil fuels. It just it has to make people laugh. I mean, it would be funny if it weren't so damn serious about what they're proposing and the lies that they keep pushing about CO two in particular. Two is CO two is not a pollutant. It is a natural occurring gas on Earth, and it's necessary for life on Earth. I think that these
people are anti human. Well, well, yeah, along with the water, vapor, and oxygen, and carbon dioxide is one of the three essential elements or compounds for life, you know, and there's just a vast amount of wasted activity. We have people that spend their whole lives trying to figure out how to reduce carbon dioxide. We have a battle going on in Iowa and South Dakota and Illinois right now North Dakota over carbon dioxide pipelines. Now
farmers are fighting the pipelines. Nobody would be building pipelines if it wasn't for this misconception of climatism where everybody's trying to do hydrogen hubs and produce hydrogen, a very flammable gas which is going to cause a lot of safety problems. If we try and install that everywhere, there are just literally probably hundreds of billions of dollars of wasted human effort. All these people are doing these jobs and it is going to have any effect on global temperatures. And you know,
there's so many other problems to solve. We have five about six hundred million people that don't have electricity. Another two billion people have blackouts or brownouts every single day. There are hundreds of hospitals across Africa and Southeast Asia and other places that don't even have electricity, and yet we were wasting our time
on carbon dioxide. It really is a very sad waste and misdirection of resources that the world is involved in. There was kind of a little victory for sanity when I saw that I forget which state was it on the East Coast decided to abandon a wind farm project offshore. Can you tell me anything about
that? Well, it's actually the builders of the wind farms. We've had a number of these folks that bid and had bids accepted, I think in just about every state now New Jersey, Massachusetts, off Connecticut, off New York and there. Because the interest rates have gone so high despite massive subsidies that have gone high as well. These companies can't make money and so they're pulling out, and they're actually paying penalties of its high as one hundred million
dollars to pull out of these projects. And this is one of the first first examples of the common green breakdown. I think Zieman's Energy, a big wind producer in Germany, just got ten billion euros from the German government because theyre because their their wind systems are losing so much money. They just held a auction in the UK for onshore wind and they didn't have a single bitter.
But what's the what's the UK government going to do? They're going to raise the price by seventy five percent so they get more bidders to do this thing, and then the rate payers will pay for it. And of course we have the ev slowdown, we have stock market collapses. The Renix Index, which is an index of thirty of the top renewable companies of the world, is down about forty percent this year and has dropped three years in a
row. So there are a lot of indications that that we may be starting to forward this green breakdown, although I still think it's going to take a decade or two to play out. Yeah. Green Breakdown, by the way,
is the latest book by mister Gorham and available everywhere. I still love the mad, mad, mad mad mad world of climatism, but you have expanded so far since that, since then you went outside the green box and now we have the Green Breakdown. And that is your prediction based on science and economics of how all of this, including EVS, is going to come to a sudden, abrupt halt when people realize that they just don't do the job that fossil fuels do. We're going to have four big impacts. So
one is higher energy prices. Electricity, especially California Pacific gas electricity just got another rate hike improved approved rather by the government. Over the last three years, California's rates have passed of New England, now the second highest in the country, about twice as high as Ohio and just behind Hawaii. We're gonna have electricity blackouts. We've seen those in Oklahoma, Texas and California, and
we're going to get some in New England. And the Department of Energy keeps track of the outages each year for the average electricity user and back about ten years ago was about three and a half hours a year of outage. Now it's running over seven or eight and that's going to go higher and higher. The more intermittent renewables we put in. Of course, we're getting less freedom.
I was just talk to scientists. This friend of mine this other day in Connecticut is now looking the latest state that wants to ban gasoline vehicles by twenty thirty five, along with the stove bands a lot of other things. And people aren't going to put up with this. It's going to be very, very expensive the alternatives are and finally we're going to have these transnational energy shocks, which Europe is in the middle of a very cold winter this year,
and it would be very very tough on the people of Europe. They're already paying about four times the price of the United States for natural gas in England. If you talk to the people, they don't want to turn on their ovens, they don't want to turn on their gas furnaces. It's just it's way way too expensive, no doubt. Well, Steve Gorham, thanks for your time as always and your expertise and the actual data that shows us we're not in a climate crisis, but we sure as hell will be if
we continue down this green energy path. That'll be a climate crisis for everybody. Yeah, we sure will. And you know, folks have a gasoline car, they've got a gas stove, they use electricity. They really should know what's in store for them if our political leaders don't get back to some sanity. And that's all. Those are the things I talk about in Green Breakdown.

Yeah, you'll be up twenty four hours from now. You'll be wrapping up your show, just like I'm doing with you right now. Is you get ready to say I'll be back again tomorrow night? So the Thursday night edition of the Midweek Prist Okay, just had Steve Gorham, my friend
Steve Gorham, whom I've had on the air for years. He's one of the truth tellers about climate and green energy and CO two and he has a new book called Green Breakdown. And we were talking. In fact, when I talked to you earlier today, you were you were getting gas and I said, well, what's Dan Carroll going to do? What any of us going to do? And here's what I think is going to happen, because I've been wondering what distraction or what great crisis they're going to throw at us.
They had COVID in twenty twenty, you know, that facilitated all this at home voting or absenteeva or mailing it or whatever. With the presidential election just ahead in twenty twenty four, Joe Biden does have the executive power to declare a climate emergency, and that would give them all kinds of powers to change whatever they wanted to for there. I think that's what it's going to be. It's not going to be another round of COVID like some have predicted.
Dan. I think it's going to be this declaration of a climate emergency when there is none, and that will restrict our movement, our freedoms, and our ability to actually choose our government this time around. What do you
think about that? You may very well be right about that, Gary, Jeff, and I've got a SoundBite from John Kerry who was absolutely swinging for the fences right now when it comes to putting forward you know, their version of climate change and how it is up to people like John carry to take the lead on this and tell the rest of us what we have to do. You know, this guy, of course, is not about to give up his private jets he's not about to give up any of his luxuries,
but the rest of us must do so. And they're talking about depopulation of the planet and all the rest of it. So you've got an entire administration that is hell bent on sacrificing the greatness of America on the altar of extremist environmentalism. And I've got you know, the Biden administration is already spending billions of dollars Gary Jeff Walker to fix all those racist roads. You remember when Pete Buddha Judge was out there talking about racist highways. Yeah, apparently that
money is being spent right now. So that's one of the that's one of the items I'm going to talk about. And he talked about the election that's coming up. We are nowhere, not even close to where we need to be when it comes to making sure that the twenty twenty four election is going to be one that we have confidence in. You've already got key counties that are sounding alarm bells on voting machines ahead of the twenty twenty four general election.
You've got over twenty million immigrants who are now set to vote in twenty twenty four, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. So there's all kinds of shenanigans already going on with the twenty twenty four elections. But Dan, they're not the illegal immigrants are not citizens. How in the world can they possibly vote. They're going to make it happen. They are again.
They are the Democrats and the far left extremists in this country are absolutely determined to make sure that all these that's been the goal from the very beginning. Get all these the illegals to the polls, and they'll vote Democrat early and often, and Democrats will remain in power for as far as the I can say, Well, that sounds like a midweek crisis, and it has a
lot more teeth than a climate crisis, which does not. Dan Carroll, have a wonderful show tomorrow night, and maybe maybe if you find time, we'll have a little nip tomorrow night. Maybe a little nip. A nip is always in order. Gary, Jeff, thank you, and God bless it. God bless you too. And with that we close out tonight's night cap the playing of our national anthem, Donna America on seven hundred WLW
