They drop a walleye at midnight, A plastic walleye, A plastic one. No, no, they can't even get a real walleye. Come on, you're up there in walleye country. I guess I guess they save the real walleye for eating. They're hibernating. Oh, okay, whatever, So they drop the plastic walleye. What town is this for?

Clinton? Ohio? Fort Clinton? I know it will. Yes, Yeah, we're gonna be doing photo shoots there with a donkey whisper. Yeah, explain for people what this is, because you say donkey whisperer, like everybody knows what it is, and I still don't know what a donkey whisper is. Tim Lisa can talk to the donkeys, and they listen to her. How do you know that they're listening to me? How do you how do you know that they're listening to her? They behave for her? Okay,

I'm just another jack in the and they heard you're something. All right. I don't even know if I can say the last part or that, but that's what I am. Oh, it's okay, it's before six. You can say ass okay, Well that's what I am. Okay. Anyway, it's referring to an animal, not a body part, so that that

makes it that's a clear distinction. So so the walleye drop is going to happen tomorrow night in Port Clinton at midnight, where they drop the plastic walleye to signify the New Year, and the donkeys and the donkey whisperer will be there. Yep, there's tons of activities going on. They're going to have tons of food trucks there. It's a big deal. Oh it sounds like

But Dick, what happened with your Dick pick? Last week? The Bengals just collapsed? Jake Browning? Jake Browning went

from hero to goat? But you just looked pathetic last week. Oh, you can't say that you've never seen anything that bad. You were a Cleveland Brown fan for years, So what do you think about going up against my Mahomie in Kansas City tomorrow. I think I told I think I told Austin down to dial that they were going to win. I'd say, don't win tomorrow, twenty four to twenty three the Bengals by a single point in Kansas City. Yeah, I mean, I'd be surprised if they can score a

single point after last week that was ridiculous. Gott to run the football. What else is going on around town, Dick, not too much. I had a good Christmas and I'm looking forward. I got to play a little music yesterday. We were a little shorthanded because everybody's had that that sign the thing, but it was nice to then let's see, let's think it'll be another week to we'll get back. I'll get in the ban Joe group. I'm telling you what. The cold that I had, yeah, was worse

than either time I had COVID. And it wasn't COVID. I mean for me personally, Yeah, I mean, I just it just dragged on and on and on. I heard that Dave from Dayton came to see you Christmas Day. Yes, nice little Christmas visit. Yeah, he told me when he gets some time We're gonna try to get down, you know, get down to see you again, because he had a good time there last year. Yet I was nice, we had a great we had a great time.

Listen. We're asked from news radio seven hundred wl Johnson Jili out there this morning as temperaures are in the mid thirties with cloudy skies. We stick with the cloudy skies for the afternoon. As you warm the low forties, you're dry again tomorrow at tempas climbing to the mid forties. From a severe weather station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Right now, it's thirty six degree. Our next update is at

six thirty. I'm Whitney Harris, News Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day. News Radio seven hundred WLW. In to the first official hour of this Saturday morning edition for Saturday, December thirtieth, twenty twenty three, the last weekend of the year. Gary, Jeff Walker, how are you. It's about about six minutes past the hour, and we're doing our Saturday thing, and that part of that thing is to put this guy in the radio for what reason. Eh, it escapes most people, but it's

just something we do. Dave from Harrison, good morning, Good morning, darling. How are you doing. Your Lynette impression gets worse every week, but she gets better. Yes she does. Listen. How's what? How's your folks? My folks, my mom and dad, and I got my brother and my sister in law and my nephew and my niece. Yeah, we got to see everybody. It was great. What a what a fantastic visit. Man, there you go. I got just family time and a

good time. Speaking of family, I don't know if I ever told you, but we know a guy that he retired to run a dating service for chickens. A dating service for chickens. Yeah, but the business went under. He just he was having a hard time making hens meat. And I don't know if you saw this, but I'll turn the ocean. Apparently, no, hold on, hold on, hold on. That doesn't make sense

because it was a dating service. Unless it was a lesbian chicken dying service, you wouldn't be trying to put hens together, hens and roosters together. So, I mean, the whole premise of the joke is kind of faulty. That's all. I'm saying, what was the other thing that you were attempting to tell me? Out there on the ocean, there was this there's a ship carrying red paint and red paint and there was another ship carrying blue

paint, and apparently it was foggy or something. They crashed into each other, but both the crews were maroon. And and last week you're definitely not gonna believe this, but uh, actually right, I don't believe it already and I haven't even heard it anyway, Go ahead, I went to a seat. We went to a seafood disco. Last week. I did a seafood disco. Yeah, I pulled a muffle, though, that's just that's as good as dropping a plastic walleye to signify the new year, like they

do it port Clinton. A seafood disco. You wouldn't believe the images I have in my mind when you said seafood disco. Well, Christa just found out that I replaced our bed with the trampoline. She hit the ceiling. Ah ah. Yeah. You know, the easiest time to add insult to injury is when you're signing somebody's cast. Yeah, that's true, that is yeah, And uh people who use selfie sticks really need to have a good long look at themselves, don't you think? Yes, I do very good.

So no, you asked me, how is your Christmas? How is your celebration with your family? You've got a huge Dave has an incredibly large and diverse family. He sent me he and his wife sent me their Christmas card with a photo of them all gathered together. How many people are in that picture? It seems like about twenty five or thirty people in this picture? Dave? Is that about right? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, it seems like it. But we've been we've been extremely blessed

and we want to share that blessing with everyone. Yeah, espect for you guys, well and you always do and we appreciate that. But you had a great good Christmas, sir, yes, very much. So still lamb plan on continuing excellent, Well you can continue, but you'll have to do it without us, Okay, goodbye, all right bye, see you next here. All right, Dave from Harrison as always, he's He's always Dave above all else. Six ten seven hundred WLW. Who's the man you can

A message brought to you by NITSA and ad Council, your forecast on the last weekend of twenty twenty three, mostly clouding. Hello, honey, it's me. What did you think when you heard me? Do you remember how we listened to the radio and I said, that's the place to be the late HARRYT.

Shapin. Oh, we got the job, isn't fm jeah with a visit back to WOLD. You're on WLW quarter after the hour on a Saturday morning, and it's time to talk to our friend old radio Rick Washburn. Good morning, Ricky, how are you? I'm doing great. I hate to give a shout out to day from Harrison, but I have to admit in the early eighties I was in the garage band called Seafood Disco and we stunk.

No are you serious? No, of course, Okay, well no, I mean it does sound like a weird name for an eighties garage band, Seafood Disco. That's kind of that's kind of my go to thing. That that sounds like the eve of a grudge. I saw the second he said, I saw, you know, a lobster dressed up like John Travolta. No, I have the vision, I know. But you say, you say something like seafood disco and it instantly just paints a picture that's that

was beautiful, and it was totally unintended on his part. I'm sure he does not. He's he's not actually that far ahead thinking. I mean he does, he's a chess player, but I don't think he's that good ically done. So how are you receiving us this morning? What are you receiving us on? And what's the story here? Mister? Well, actually I'm going to share a story from yesterday that involves some folks from Carmel, Indiana,

Jack, Julie and Nick. And this is a nineteen thirty nine Sis silver Tone console in the In the blurb that was sent out to all Seers stores for the new nineteen forty lineup, it says the series one on one, five eight three, it's the new silver Tone super unit. The weird

as that is, this was the top of the line. It's a five band AM shortwave console, radio twelve and speaker eleven tubes, got the magic Itube tuning indicator in there, a four tone setting and all kinds of according to this blurb that they set out to the stores, all kinds of features that are actually defying the laws of physics. But that's because whoever wrote it didn't understand too much about radio, not exaggerations. Just wait a minute,

you're bragging about it having a feature from nineteen twenty two. I don't think that's what you meant to say. Well, it's kind of like reading the menu to a Chinese restaurant that you know they didn't quite get the English translations down when they composed it. Ken Well, at least that's funny a lot of times. Yeah, right exactly. The silvertone Superunit sounds like either a WWE wrestler or a porn star. I can't decide which. It could be

a crossover right crossing the coolest to see you, oh boy. The coolest thing about this, though, is that when I was there and put it all back together and everyone got to got to hear it, and I got

to do some some tweaks and apologize for what right screwed up. Ultimately, the neat thing was that Jack's father had given the radio to him many years ago, then had enjoyed it for years, and he had the cabinet redone and put in new grille cloth, and unbeknownst to me, while I was there, he was basically presented them to the third generation of the family, and I just thought that was really cool, and it's like, keep it

around, folks, because this is a beauty. You know. The thing is that people who don't have an antique radio from that era don't understand, or maybe they do and they don't really care that we will never see the likes of those devices again except in museums and in the homes of people who you know, are proud enough to have them and keep them preserved. But

in one of these days, you're going to run out of tubes. I mean, it's all that they're not manufacturing these anymore, I guess, is the point, and it's it's precious when you have one in your possession, I know personally from my own experience, and oddly enough not to call you out on this, but just to say there's playing in tubes out there, shot because I believe it or not. For radios, the tubes didn't go

bad that often unless there was a manufacturing defect or somebody broke one. TV tube's very different, oh yeah, because they were run hot and so forth. But no, the radio tubes, I'm you know, maybe I'll never run out of them because I have them all. But no, that's not true. I do have a question that came up over the Christmas holiday. We're visiting my mom and dad and my nephew, Benton, who's just turned twenty one. But he is an old soul, and my wife said he

ought to be your son, not your brothers. But anyway, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But he asked me if I knew anybody who fixed or could repair suit for eight cameras. Oh. Interesting, So I want you to I want you to think about that and get back to me. So apparently they found a super eight camera that doesn't function, which is not surprising, and he wants to know if there's anybody out there who fixes them. So I guess I'm putting out the

bat signal not just talk to you, but generally here this morning. I know a fellow in Bloomington, Illinois that used to own a code at camera store for decades, and I will reach out to him and see if he's got any knowledge about that. All right, if you want to know more about antique radios and you've got one you'd like prepared, try old radio Rick at gmail dot com. Thank you, my brother, Rick Washburn. Check it in this morning. Listening to Scott Sloane keeps me safe from angry Dutch

people. People have made some strange claims about the Scott Sloane Show. Listening to Scott Sloane helps me forget about Mike Goiter. Promise you that Slooney takes on the real issues that affect you and your family as the interviews you want to hear, and always has a good time doing it. Listening to Scott Sloane keeps my feet from stinking. Anything else is a Sloaney bonus. I

swear it's true. Scott Sloan Monday morning at nine on seven hundred WLW iHeartRadio and ABC bring you New Year's Rocket Eves with epic performances by Green Day. If you do warm to the low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies, you start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds build in temperatures back into the mid forties. Match and I'm first wanting forecast. I'm Meteorologist Cameron Harden, seven hundred WLW Sport Liam Tomlinson in midst of College Football Bowl

Bonanza's we have college basketball as well. What happened last night? Yeah, Kentucky handle business first, Illinois State winning ninety six to seventy last night. Verge, it's no big deal, Antonio reeves. Illinois State transfer places for the Cats now being down to Evansville at halftime, you see Bearcats dominate the second half to beat the Aces seventy six to fifty eight at home. All right, Well, I mean that is pretty much expected. And again you

see has not touched the Big twelve schedule yet. When that happens, there will be losses after losses after losses, I predict. You know, you don't have faith in the Bearcats this year. You know what, It's the same thing as with the football team. Liam. You're in this new power conference playing levels of competition that heretofore you do not face on a regular basis. Yes, they will struggle. I don't disagree. All right, So let's get to the good stuff. And there was some good, ants and

bad in the college football bowls last night. The Cotton Bowl just very disappointing for Buckeye fans. Yeah, Missouri tops Ohio State fourteen to three in the Cotton Bowl last night. Ohio State's defense looked good for the first three quarters. But when your offense isn't scoring, eventually your defense is going to break. Well, No, no quarterback and no Marvin Harrison Junior and their quarterback got hurt. So you had a backup to the backup quarterback, and that's

not a good remedy. All right, what else we got? Kentucky fell to Clemson and the tax Player Gator Bowl thirty eight thirty five after a forty two point fourth quarter. It was barnburn. That was a good game. It was fun. You didn't know what was going to happen for the whole fourth quarter. And a slate of more today and into the weekend. Yeah, Mississippi faces Penn State and the Chick fil A Peach Bowl today at noon.

Auburn plays Maryland in the Music City Ball at two today, Georgia meets Florida State and the Capitol when Orange Bowl kickoff is at four in Toledo faces Wyoming and the Arizona Ball today at four thirty and the last chance for the Bengals to maybe stake a flag in the playoff picture with a win over Kansas City. There's still a possibility for the Bengals playing some bonus football this year, but it's a tough ride, especially after seeing that offense last week.

Yeah, just win, that's all you got to do. But the Kansas City Chiefs have lost their last three home games. The Kansas City Chiefs have kind of been in a similar situation of the Bengals. So if you go in and capitalize, don't allow explosive plays, which is a lot easier said than done with this Bengals defense. We'll have all the action here. Kickoff at four thirty tomorrow afternoon, and tonight in the NFL, the Lions playing the Cowboys in Dallas. That's sports for you. This is Katino Moby.

This is what's trending from Iheartsports Network, presented by DraftKings Fantasy Sports. Ohio States offense fails to score a touchdown in a defensive slugfest in their final game of the season as they fall to Missouri and the cotton Ball. Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase was limited again in practice on Friday, but head coach Zach Taylor said that he will wait and see if they'll be available against the Jeeves

and Broncos. Quarterback Russell Wilson said he hopes to stay with Denver long term, following the news that he would be benched this week against the Chargers. I'm JD. Hafran.

Have a great one. We didn't get a report from the beaver here we go, Oh well, I see him out there on the river bank. He's kind of wet down there because it's you know, missing here year. Nothing says a celebration like a wet beaver. Thank you so much.

Seven hundred WLW Steve from Etna, Ohio with a pithy phone call coming up in minutes. Seven hundred wl W Cincinnati available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app now Vember one for podcasting seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio station. How's your money feeling? It's about to feel happier with a certificate from Happy Money's partner, a

Lion Credit Union elevating buddy. The rest of the day pretty much Tomorrow New Year's Eve, a chance of rain and snow mixed pretty much on and off all day, a high of forty three, and for Tomorrow night, the actual New Year's Eve celebrations, whether it's karaoke, a wet beaver, or something else. Again, that chance of rain and snow mixing in. No accumulation expected out of this batch, but it's going to be just kind of messy. New Year's Day, mostly cloudy in the high of thirty eight.

It is thirty six now and seven hundred sport Liam Tomlinson. We have a full slate of football everywhere, and you know it's the culmination of the season with all the bowl games. Give me some results. Kentucky falls to Clemson the tax Player Gator Bowl thirty eight to thirty five. Missouri top Ohio State fourteen to three in the Cotton Bowl. Notre Dame dominated Oregon State forty to eight, and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Memphis beat Iowa State and

Autis and Liberty Bowl thirty six to twenty six. And today Memphis faces Penn State the Chick fil A Peach Bowl at noon start. Today, Auburn plays Maryland at the Music City Bowl at two, Georgia meets Florida State and the Orange Bowl at four. Toledo and Wyoming face off in the Arizona Bowl today at four thirty. And those college football games will take you to the NFL.

At night, with eleven win, Detroit Lions faced the eleven win Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas for a battle for the number one seed in the nfciate team playing in Jerry Land, and of course tomorrow, our Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Kansas City to take on the Chiefs and hopefully keep their playoffs alive with a victory. Mahomes and the Chiefs have been having some of the same struggles that we've seen the Bengals have this year, and that's with

their starting quarterback calling signals. So it'll be interesting to see if the Bengals can rebound, especially from that just terrible loss at Pittsburgh last week. That was decimation. Yeah, on Christmas, Man ruined some kids Christmases. I got to say yes, indeed. So we got college basketball today? Is there any games today? I know UK played last night beat Illinois State. UC came from behind to take on the the Evansville Purple Aces and route them

Xaviers off. There's no other games on the schedule. I'm working the UC women's basketball game versus Kansas State today and that is on Fox Sports thirteen sixty two o'clock. Okay, so there's no basketball today, six forty three at seven hundred WLW. Who's infinites New Wireless Technilo not writing then accord until the hour six forty five Eastern that is, and Gary Jeff Walker on the Saturday morning edition on seven hundred WLW. Let's go to our friend in at Ohio,

Steve Simon. Good morning, sir, Hello everybody, he love, good bye twenty twenty three go to hell? Okay, mediocre? Mike de Wine chose it shows us what it would be like if Joe Biden were governor of Ohio. After all, Mike and Joe are both Annie Trumpers, along with mainez secretary of nothing. So how does our former attorney general in Ohio, a lawyer course who lost his Senate seat to uh oh Sharon Brown in six My god, I almost forgot. How does he argue against putting limits

on genital mutilation? How the hell do you do that? And you're a good Christian? Right? Well, First, he talked to parents and physicians involved. Really the healthcare folks who make more money on doctor Mengele experiments with little chance of improving the patient's life. Where's the hipocritic oath? And parents anxious to go along with what we used to call child abuse when we were a nation of laws? Should we stop prosecuting and fantaside? Might that's a

parental decision? Oh my, I'm being bad. Second, you made a TV commercial during the last election opposing no holds barred abortion. I see a disconnect here, Mike. That's government interference with a citizen's medical decision, which yesterday you said government should never be involved in our medical decisions. Well, third, government shouldn't make our health care decisions for us. That's way too late, Mike. Since nineteen sixty four we've adopted Medicare, Medicaid, and

Obamacare. Want to roll those back? Mic God, Finally, your wimpy, unstructured argument killed an opportunity to deny marginal male athletes the glory of invading women's sports where they might actually win a medal or money. Hooray for stopping government interference. Oh, I'm not through. When you were a in Ohio, you led a Mexican national and an illegal guilty of first degree murder to escape Ohio courts. He was deported to Mexico, which did nothing because the

crime didn't occur in Mexico. Why should they congratulations? In some you are magnificently consistent, just like Joe Biden your mentor you're a disgrace. In twenty twenty three, we diverted money for veterans to border illegals. Oh, we have to take care of them. Yes, no surprise there, folks. Do you ever wonder when you're sitting in front of your TV about all those private charities God bless them, by the way, who are trying to help

grossly disabled veterans. Why not the government doing that? The government sent them into harm's way in the first place. Wow. Twenty twenty three saw the irrelevancy of the phrase student athlete. What a freaking joke. They've now morphed

as they should to professional athletes. In twenty twenty three, we now know that half of the US suffers from cognitive dissonance when confronted with the fact that this is good versus evil, that it is mao's third stage of guerrilla warfare that's taking to the streets like you know, Palestinian goons attacking Christmas carollers across from Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Yeah, and you didn't think anything about this, right, folks. I mean, it's free speech, right, And half

the country thinks it's Trump's fault because he's not a pleasant guy. Oh God, he makes me feel so unsafe that maybe there's a problem. And he makes you feel just terribly uncomfortable with the truth. The Palestinians remind me of Elijah Mohammed of Chicago, black Muslim fame, calling Judaism a gutter religion, the pot calling the kettle black democrats hamas communists are always named, calling opponents for what they are themselves. That's a Nazi trick, by the way.

But here's one that sticks to the White House, which is now the city dump of Washington, d C. It's analogy time, kiddies, pay attention. This is on the exam. Biden is to our nation's capital what the Pistons are to Detroit. The zero has something. I don't know what the ail it is now, what is it up to twenty seven? The zero and something NBA team is to the decline of Detroit and the auto industry.

What the Biden crime family is to the collapse of our federal government. The inmates running the asylum of war the White House not nosed Interns Award to the nasally challenged Generation dump fifth level employees going public telling Biden how he is wrong and they can make it worse. They missed it just a little bit. Outside Award to the conservative broadcasters jumping on the Bobby Kennedy junior bandwagon because he's actively pro Israel and anti Hamas. Hello, his father was murdered in Los

Angeles by a Palestinian terrorist. I've said this before. Why don't the commentators note that here's a factoy Bobby has gotten more money from GOP donors than Democrats, according to ABC News. HM, hooray for Bobby. But the fact is he's a Bernie Sanders socialist on everything from energy to foreign policy, not exactly in the image of his beloved uncle Jack. Joe Biden, Oh, this is the Factoid of the Year award. I had forgotten this and somebody

reminded me yesterday. Joe Biden, United States Senate nineteen seventy five. Oh, I love this. Voted to restore the citizenship rights of Confederate military Commander Robert E. Lee, a true insurrectionist. Maybe Joe was hoping that he'd be pardoned someday. Wow. Among the largest recipients of Chinese government money. Read that CPC I found out this year is Texas A and M University.

Are you crapping me? That's a school with a huge military component. It's got a huge r O. Okay, here's what i'd like to see in twenty twenty four, but of course it will happen, because I never make accurate predictions. The FBI, first of all, you have to know, has told the Democrats stop the assassination plots on Donald Trump. You'll just make him a hero. If any of these succeed, we'll make sure he's stumped into prison. Okay, just just get off of it. Well, here's

what Trump's going to do. And yes, he will be convicted on I don't know one hundred and fifty. I don't know charges. I don't know. He'll be in prison, but we'll vote for him, and he's going to get elected. He's going to choose Tim Scott, a true black conservative, as his running mate. Oh. I would just love to see that. Yeah, he'll be in prison. Trump will he will get inaugurated.

I don't know how he's going to do that with the main Secretary of State opposing, but one of the first things he'll do is he'll appoint as Attorney General Ron DeSantis. Oh. I would love to see that. And then we have that vacant South Carolina Senate. See don't weep Nicki Haley who hates Trump. Trump hates her. They'll sit down and they'll have a discussion, and the Donald will say, look, Nikki, we've got our problems. I don't care what you say when you're in the United States Senate about me,

but I want a Republican in that seat. That seat is empty. I'm going to support you, Nicki Haley, US Senator South Carolina. And finally the veck Ramashwami, what are we going to do with him? Well, the bike I mispronounced his name, I'm sorry, will be the new head of the Republican National Committee. Finally we get those idiots out of there and somebody in there who knows what the heck he's doing. Thank you, Gary Jeff Walker who will be will be our Saturday morning host in twenty twenty

four. God bless you. You know something I don't. Thank you very much, Steve from Metton, Ohio. Another fifthyphone call and the news of the week, I look back and a look ahead. Thank you so much for that. Billy Buck Roscoe, haven't heard this name in years? What's going on? Billy Buck? Mister Gary Jeff, Good day to you,

sir. I just wanted to wish you a belated happy birthday. Blated Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. My friend, I believe twenty twenty four is going to be blessed for this country and you and you are my favorite talk show host throughout this whole country. You're the only ones got SAMs.

Everybody else's a rhino. I just follow you every Saturday morning down here in Granbury, Texas, and I wanted to make sure I wish you well and yours christ the two point zero, my favorite gal pal of my favorite host. Oh Billy Buck, Thank you so much. It's so good to hear your voice, and thank you for all the kind wishes, and I return them to you tenfold. Happy New Year, and God bless you. I thank you. God bless you, God bless American, God bless my marine

course, Sir, Good day to you, Good day to you. Urrah Seer five seven hundred WLW AT six fifty six. From the creators of Atlanta Monster and Up and Vanished comes a brand new investigative podcast Radical. In March two thousand and two police officers were shot in one of about EV's and all the rest. I see three so green redross too. I see them blue following you, and I think to myself, what a wonderful Thank you Lewis, and thank you mister Silty for being a part of our morning again.

How you doing, Steve all right? Better than usual? Gary jep thanks for asking and happy New Year to you and Chris the two point zero oh well, thank you very much. And by the way, I just got the text she is there, Good morning, my love, Hello christ the two point oh hello Brooksy and Steve Schulte is you know, putting out the bad signal for you? So there go? What are we talking about? By the way, I got something bound two articles. It's from Cornwall Alliance

dot org. Cornwallalliance dot org. First one from about a week ago. This is a guest article from Steven Moore, so some of you may know of him. The last Green Dreams are going up and smoked. So a couple of weeks ago, Honda and General Motors announced an end to their two year collaboration and building a platform for lower cost dvs. Honda execs said it was quote unquote too hard. This despite that well less than ten percent of

new car sales or ebs over the last two years. This despite the fact that the US writes a check for seventy five hundred dollars to the people for buying an EV, and some states I'm sure, like California, are kicking in five thousand dollars or more. In fact, that Texas Policy Foundation calculates that if you take all in EV subsidies, some as many of them are hidden, can reach forty thousand dollars per vehicle, So the government is subsidizing

evs by as much as forty thousand dollars per car per car. Meanwhile, the news is even worse per winning Solar. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that quote unquote clean energy investment funds are tanking, with some down as much as seventy percent in recent months. Solar is one of the worst performing industry

stocks this year. And Gary Jeff despite all this global transition to green energy, YadA, YadA, YadA, and twenty twenty three, the world will will use more fossil fuel than any time in human history, even as developed countries like the US are spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to stop gas, oil or coal. So the question is are we transit what's this transitioning? And Steven Moore makes the comment, if there is a transitioning it's not

away from green energy. It's not away from it. It's that's where it is. It's away from the transition is away from green energy. Absolutely, it's a it's a future of fossil fuels for this planet because those are the most efficient and those are actually the cleanest. And then article from September says

no net benefit to EV mandate government emits. So last this past summer, the Department of Transportation put out proposed fuel standards basically divorced us into evs and buried in the fifty six thousand page Register, volume eighty eight in the The bottom line is after a denity did their environmental assessment of the proposed standards, the estimated that they would reduce the average global temperature by twenty sixty by zero

point zero zero zero percent. So all of this own bureaucrats say we're gonna do all this, We're gonna do all this to say of the planet, but in reality nothing, we're not doing anything exactly, which is what government does best is nothing most of the time. Listen, we're both for clean planet, clean air, clean water, absolutely and any source of energy that's efficient and is inexpensive for the entire world. We're in favor of it. Just ain't evs, it's not solar, it's not wind. Sorry, well

not yet anyway. Seven ten at seven hundred WLW. This is the game. Jay Browning got the ball over the goal line.

From the creators of Atlanta Monster and Up and Vanished comes a brand new investigative podcast, Radical. In March two thousand two police officers were shot in one of Atlanta's oldest neighborhoods and arrest was made and the leader of a local mosque was convicted. But that's not where the story ends. We knew that Campbell was willing to

plan out because he was a corrupt FBI agent. The gun was not on LEMI at the time he was arrested. They found the gun on the ground. I wouldn't why they didn't find the gun in the first place. Listen to Radical on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. In today's Marketers Report, Kate Cronin, Chief brand officer of Moderna weighs in on the

speed of audio productive. He wants to hear your body talk. His name is Rocco Costelano, trained with Roco dot Com and is our guest once again. So how are you. It was great to see you in studio yesterday. It's great to have you on the phone today. I mean, you probably feel like you should be getting a paycheck, but I haven't gotten that approved yet by management. No. I just love being with you, Gary Jackson. Oh well that's so nice. That is so nice, and I'm

a little bit creeped out by that too, thank you. Yes, and you should absolutely so. Yesterday we were talking about health optimization and you were talking about, uh, the sub The most surprising part of this for me, the whole conversation, was you said that the vitamin C that you take in a supplet, supplement, tablet or if you're just drinking orange juice whatever,

is kind of a junk molecule and it doesn't really assist you. I wanted to expound on getting actual vitamin C into your system, and you said something yesterday about an IV drip, But you know, I don't have a bag and I hate needles h for home house. So but but there is a fat soluble form of vitamin C and I just wanted you to give me that name again if if you want to, you know, maintain health,

Vitamin C is important. Maybe you know, and you mentioned vitamin D three and all of the rest, but but so, what is the vitamin C supplement that actually helps you that you don't just pee out after you take. Yeah, so vitamin C does help you. A scorbig acid, it is the garbage molecule that I was talking about because it is a water soluble and and you have to take so much of it. But the one that you want me to talk about is called a scorbelmitate scobel, a scobel pomititate.

Yes, a scorb palmitate is the fat sluble version of that that no one that literally no one knows about, that no one talks about, and the doctors will not tell you about either because uh, the fat soluble version or the liposolbal version of it actually uh stays in your body longer and and and stays with you until you need it. So when you're taking it as as as a daily supplement, that that stores in your fat cells until until it's

it's ready. And we and we don't need to be flushing our bodies with with a scorbic acid. We definitely uh need more of the score will pomitate. And and it's a it's a much easier way to take your vitamins. Actually, it's a little bit it's a little bit bigger than a regular vitamin C tablet. But but like you said, we all need vitamin C and I would rather you get it from you know, oranges actually, but not everyone can eat twelve oranges in a single sitting to get the same amount that

you can get uh in in the escorable pomatate of vitamin capsule. So twelve oranges you need the equivalent of twelve oranges of vitamin C bay every single bay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, reasonable. Well, but the thing is is that the is that our food supply just does not have the nutrients it once had, right the soil. And that's the problem. The soil is the big problem. We're over growing, we're over doing everything, and so our soils dead. The food we eat pretty much dead. We're just eating

things that don't have you know, the nutrients in it. And we really do have to supplement our our nutrition. And nowadays it's a you know, it's a hard thing to talk about sometimes, but we definitely don't have a good food supply. Rocco, thank you so much, as always, my friend. Happy New Year as well. It's time now for the Tom Davis Diaries. I like to refer to these as the with why, the old, wacky, weird news stories from all over the country and the world.

Here is Tom David. Good morning Gary Jeff. This week, finding love in the New Year might be tricky in a world full of freaks, but first in North Carolina, it's pandemonium. Has the New year approaches and they are ankle deep in sewer water. In Durham, fifteen thousand gallons of untreated wastewater were floating around the town square and wouldn't go back down because it was full of all things flushable wipes. Apparently they really aren't that flushable after all.

Cruise worked all night to clear the blockage before the stinky stew finally seeped back below. Some guy in New Hampshire looked like he had just robbed some wos when they carted him off to the hospital. John Williamson was on his way to a family holiday party, dressed as the Grinch, ready to deliver a car full of presents. That's before he slid off the road and into a house. He did ten grand worth of property damage and he's still in

the hospital. He can't remember the crash and is undergoing more testing. I'm not sure how your gift giving went, but I'm guessing better than hers. A twenty eight year old woman says she dumped her boyfriend because of his awful Christmas gift. She says she went to great links to make him feel special during the holidays, and all he could do is give her a cheap bottle of wine. She was so upset that she handed it back to him, told him it was over, and send him on his way. She says

that wine is quote cheap and vulgar. And finally, a lot of people are looking for love for the new year, and hopefully they don't run into this guy. A twenty four year old man who wishes to remain anonymous, says he still sleeps with his mommy. That's right, he snuggles up to his mommy in bed every night. He says, they are quote closer knit than most. And get this, this guy's got a girlfriend and all she can say about it is, yeah, it's weird. Next year, a

golfer searching for a lost ball finds a bite happy snake. Have a great New Year's Meanwhile, in the entrented forest, Hansel and Gretel. Wait a minute, where's Hensel? The wordle witch got him turned him into a stew. A stew I told him to stay away from the big boiling plot. How did you get away? It was simple. I turned on Eddie and Rocky and the witch started laughing so hard. I tossed her and a pie crossed and threw her in the oven. Oh Witch pie. It was delicious.

Eddie and Rocky. Give your day a fairy tale ending Eddie and rock Monday afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati's favorite holiday tradition is back. Visit Chrome Conservatory's Golden Days of Yule, presented by Shirzinger Pest Control. Kick things off. You do warm to the low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies. You start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds

build in temperaures back into the mid forties. That's your nine first waning forecast on Meteorologist Cameron Harden seven hundred thirty well w Disappointment for Buckeye fans last night and the Cotton Bowl. No offense for Ohio State at all. Yeah, Ohio State can only manage to get three points off a field goal in the first quarter. Sissy top to Ohio State fourteen to three. Last night. You know so you know if you don't have the players that made you an

elite program. This is what always gets me about the Bowls, players choosing not to play and what is supposed to be an honor at the end of your season. This is a reward for a good season, and players deciding opting not to play in those games just because I mean, you know, maybe protecting their future in the NFL. But I think if you're protecting your

future, you play. And then coaches who you know have decided that they're going to go somewhere else and you don't have the same players and the same coaches on the sideline or in the game. It makes for what happened last night to Ohio State. Yeah, I don't know. It happens more often than not at bowl season. That's sad. Yeah, And then bull season used to mean a ton like just even playing in a bowl and that was

just when the media picked the national champion. Before the college football playoffs, just going to the bowl game was like an honor. But now with the college football Playoff and it expanding, everyone just looks at his college football playoff for nothing, which I get that viewpoint, but I don't know, and I don't really don't know how to fix it either, but there were to change. There were other games last night college football wise, right, Yeah,

Kentucky fell to Clemson the tax Player gameable Sighting game. It was, you know, disappointing for Wildcat fans, but they scored what forty two points in the fourth quarter combined. Yes, it was under a just play after play if someone seemed to take it to the house. And I think all those points were after the last seven minutes or at least thirty five. What

were the other scores last night? From meanthis beet Iowa State in the Autos and Liberty Bowl thirty six to twenty six, Mississippi Notre Dame dominated Oregon State forty to eight, and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. And we got a couple of games today. Mississippi faces Penn State and the Chick fil A Peach Bowl today at noon, Auburn plays Maryland and the Music City Bowl to Georgia meets Florida State and the Capitol One Orange Bowl kickoff is at four.

Toledo and Wyoming face off in the Arizona Bowl today at four thirty, and then the Lions and the Cowboys in NFL action this evening at eight fifteen. Tomorrow at four thirty, the Bengals on the road in Kansas City against the Chiefs, fighting for one of those last playoff spots, and both teams have

been reeling. Yeah, last few weeks haven't been pretty for either of these teams, the Chiefs and Bengals. When we at the beginning of the year, when this game was scheduled, there was a lot more excitement going into the Sure I thought we'd get Burrow Mahomes probably for the one seed, and now we're Browning versus Mahomes and a nine win team versus eight win team. But it still means a lot to both teams, and the home of the

best. Bengals coverage has coverage pretty much all afternoon, correct, Yeah, coverage begins at noon right here on seven hundred WOW and ESPN fifteen thirty. Penn Station likes to mix it up. Cold subs for launch, grilled subs for dinner, raps and salads, fresh cut fries, chocolate chump cookies. So whether we grew, we fried, or we bake, we like to give you plenty of options.

Richter and Phillips Jewelers has the Midwest largest selection of loose diamonds. G I a certified Loose Diamonds lifetime diamond at thew the home of the best Bengals coverage. All right, Tony Pike with us this morning, Tony, A good morning. Thanks for joining us here talking Bengals in Chiefs. Would it be safe to say, I know the Bengals have beat the Chiefs in Kansas City over the past few years, This is not This is not the same version

of either team in the past couple of years, right, Yeah. I mean, obviously with the Bengals you miss out on the Joe Burrow effect and what he brings to this game. But more importantly, this isn't the same Chiefs team in two ways. Defensively, this is a much better Kansas City

Chiefs team than the Bengals have seen to this point. This is one of the league's best defenses and a big reason why this team is still where they're at because the offense is not their weight, and that's really the big difference. It's not like the weapons are much different from last year. In fact, the only player you take away from last year was Juju Smith Schuster.

You did lose Eric B Enemy, though, and I do think that that is a bigger deal than maybe what people originally thought the loss of Eric B Enemy. They added Matt Maggie. There's been some disconnect there and it feels like week after week a lot of those that watch football are waiting for Okay, Kansas City's going to finally figure it out, and that hasn't happened throughout the season thus far. All right, how do you beat the Chiefs on

Sunday? Well, you've got to be able to run the ball. They give up one hundred and thirteen yards of the ground per game, So running the ball is going to do two things. It's going to obviously limit possessions. It's going to shorten the game, which you want to do as a road team. But it also keeps Jake browning in manageable situations second and five, third and three, those types of down and distances, or are you're

able to get the most out of the players around you. Ideally Jamar Chase would be able to play rely on t Higgins Chase Brown He needs more than six touches in this game. You can't win games with one of your best weapons barely touching the ball. So defensively, you know it's the same thing, Ben, but don't break. Try to force a turnover too. But offensively, they've got to be able to run the ball against Kansas City. All right, thanks so much, Tony Pike and our Bengals updates. Yes,

I know. I fell right in this vat of chocolate. I know. And I asked you a question, I said, what did you do when you fell in

the chocolate? I swam a lot. There's there's a thirty foot bat and we just full of chocolate. Cross No deep was thirty feet deep full of chocolate? I fell right into it? I or what is? What happened? What did you do after you fell in? Why? Uh? I even hate to think about it because the experience. What did you do? What did you do to get out? I just walking down down by my house there and there said, there's this a vat of chocolate over it. Now, what did you do that? First of all, there had to

be a restrained rail on the vat of chocolate. Well, I uh, I used to kind of balance on that rail. I used to walk on that rail, and someone evidently put something slippery on there because I fell right in there. Okay, then what happened Tom? What did you do after you failed? I yelled, fire, pile fire when I fell into the chocolate pile fire when I fell into the chocolate. But why did you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate? LOLLI dude down, well now I

want you to think about it. Tom. It must have been a very traumatic experience. Oh, it's just a horrible experience. That chocolate all over me and I was swimming around, Like, what possessed you to yell fire when you were out in this vat of liquid chocolate? There was no fire, you were in the chocolate. You yelled fire. That's pretty h ridiculous, he asked me. That certainly is. I just yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate. Tom, why'd you yell fire when you fell into

the chocolate? Why your fire? Because no one said you buy your chocolate.

I just love it? Oh, I love it? Yeah, great bit. I really liked that. Well, you know, smothers books were so funny, and they were, you know, under the radar, they were they were the young people's comedians. So Tommy Smothers they did the TV show in the fall of sixty seven, and then when that song, when that TV show came on, the network set it up to fail because they put up against Menanza and they were shocked. You know, they finally file excuses

for years later to get them off the air. But it became enormous success and for the young people, especially in that Summer of Blood during that time period. But after that sixty seven it was perfect and twelve and War their hippie generation with portrayers kind of nice kids, you know, hold different image, and they did it with that TV show. Now, the song we just played to open up this morning, Alex Chiltern on the lead vocals there,

and you got a story behind that particular song, right. Dan penned the first record and we talked about the box stops with the letter. That was a number one hit. So the record company was bugging Dan Penny produced it to come up with a follow up, and he was desperate. So he called his buddy Spooner older. He said, man, I got to do We got to do a follow up. And so they go to the studio, sat down and came up with some ideas. They kept throwing them

the gravy syrup all night. Anyway, in the morning, at the dad tired, they go across the street to get breakfast at a little little cafe. Was sitting in there and uh, Spooner puts his head on the table and he goes because he's so he said man, I'm so sorry. I couldn't help you. He said, I could just I could just cry like a baby. And Dan said, but what did you say? He said, say it again? He said, Oh, I like that kind of like a baby. I like that. They go across the street right the

song, and the next day they bring Alex jilt Man. He's seventeen years old at the time they do the song. It was notable, of course that as you listened to it that electric sitsar provided by Reggie Young it it came, of course, big million cellar, not quite number one, hit number two and next up on our list. For some reason, I thought that the Beatles album the double Album was released on December twenty eighth, nineteen

sixty eight. It was actually November twenty second, but by December twenty eighth the Beatles were on the charts again with an album. It was referred to as the White Album because it was just white in color and just had the Beatles, but it was simply called The actual title was just the Beatles, and it was actually four separate albums together because all four Beatles, you know, had their own time basically in the studio. They were like Ringo Star

solo songs. There were George Harrison's solo songs, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was like they did four different solo albums and crammed them onto these two records. Set What do You Got for Us? On the white album Jim how about Blackbird? Blackbird written by Paul McCartney feature on that album.

The lyrics he said, we're inspired by hearing the call of the Blackbird, but he was with Mohreshi in India, by the racial tension in the southern part of the United States, and the first three notes of the song inspired

by Bach and then was the guitared with that happened. So he's sitting in Scotland and he gave different reasons why he wrote the song and the inspiration behind the song, and one was as I mentioned that the mahare Shei and then hearing the blackbird one morning in India with a maha and in Scotland he's writing the song and he's upset with reading the news about the Little Rock nine incidents and the civil rights movement in the United States, and one of the writer

song that they were dedicated to the people who had been affected by discrimination and he wrote the song only a few weeks after doctor Martin Luther King was assassinated, and the whole imagery in fact, it depicted the black people's struggles and the blackbird itself. Bird in England the British is bird for girl, you know that girl and then a black black girl, so it could be interpreted

as a black girl. And he had thirty two takes on this. It was just Paul the acoustic guitar, his vocal and they're tapping sounda tapping its put on the ground and the floor in the studio and the Birds dubbed it later using a sab effect record and it became one of the more popular cuts among the kids from that album, the double White album. I love this song Paul McCartney from the Beatles White album Blackbird, black Bets singing in the

Dead album Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life. You were only waiting for this moment to arise, Blackbirds singing in the dead arms night, tap the sunken eyes, learn to see all your life. You were only waiting for this moment to be free. Black Bird fly, black bird, Fly into the line of a dark, black night. Black Bird Lie black bird, lie into the line of a dark, black night black the singing in the dead um, take these broken wings and learn fly all

your line. You were on you waiting for this moment doing rise. You were only waiting for this moment to rise. You were only waiting for this moment to a ride. Oh Yes, Rock and roll Archaeology. On a Saturday morning, Jim Lebarbara up next Roebuck Pop Staples and his family. Yeah, this weekend in nineteen seventy five hit number one, and then a day after hit number one, Pop Staples is celebrating the birthday. And it's called

Let's Do It Again. That was the title song also from the soundtrack of the movie Bill Cosby Sydney Portier's comic movie The and it was written by the great Curtis Mayfield. It was the second of the two number one hits. Of course, the follow up record too, I'll Take You There Now.

This song shocked the Staple singers fans, the gospel fans because of the sexual lyrics over this very sensual groove, and it was pretty obvious what they wanted to do again and again and again, and Pop and Staples had to be persuaded to do this part. I mean he's the patriarch, and zardter Mada said in the studio, Curtis Mayfield said, Pops, this is your part. I like you, lady, so fine with your pretty hair and pop statement because no, Curtis, man, I'm not saying man a church man.

And Curtis said, oh, Pop's the Lord won't mind. And the sisters really had to convinced Pop to do this song, kept Adam and they said, that is just a movie score. You're not leaving the church. Finally gotten to do it, and it's been despied. This group is a gospel group and not identified with sexual arc Yep, Let's do it again. Let's do it again. Before you do it again, do it, do

it, Let's do it again. Sometimes rain even when I hit like you and they get me down with the sounds of ring it smell out the morning as we passed away, I want to do it, do it. Let's do it in the morning, Sweet breeze in the sun the time, They're all sweet thing, only a mess line the sweet love in the midnight could see it come Ba, No, I think we get the message. The

Staples singers, Let's do it again from nineteen seventy five. Jim Lar Barbara the music professor here with us. All right, let's go to last on our list today as we get ready to celebrate the new year. Definitely a holiday feel to close out. Great song to a number nine hit nineteen eighty one, Same Old Langzine by Dan Fogelberg. Now this song of biographical when you know the story, it might take a little different meeting. He's visiting

his parents for Christmas, his family home in Peoria. Nineteen seventy five. He wasn't of his old girlfriend from high school, Joe Anderson, at the convenient food store. Now, following his death from plastate cancer in two thousand and seven, this woman in the song, Joe Anderson, stepped forward with

a story. I told how she and Dan had dated in high school, and she explained, you know, we were part of that class Woodwood High School class of nineteen sixty nine, and after graduation went to different colleges and following college, she got married, moved to Chicago. He's out in Colorado and making music every successful career. And they're back home in Peoria of visiting and their parents at the same time. In nineteen seventy five of Christmas.

They ran into each other in this little convenience store in the Admonton Hill district and they bought a six pack of beer. Couldn't find a barlet it was open, drinking in her car for two hours. Thought that during this time in the car, about different things that they did. Five years later, the song is released, She's on living in Chicago, the school teacher.

Here's what I'm the radio for the first time, but keeps quiet. Didn't want to get anybody to know that this was about her because she thought might disrupt Dan's marriage. And she said Dan took the artistic license. Her eyes were green, not blue. Her husband was a phys ed teacher and not an architect, and he wrote this song in a melody based on the eighteen

twelve overture by Scharkowski. It ends with old Langzie with that soprano saxophone by Michael Records, So wonderful and now so old lang Xian traditional song, of course, with the New Year's Eve come on night. But that's a reference in the title that the song takes place on Christmas Eve. But they shared a toast anyway, because they were living in the good old times. That they had together in that line we drank a toast to innocence that we drank

a toast at time. Here it is Happy New Year, prop, Happy New Year to you, and one more time with Dan Fogelberg. As we close out our rock and Roll archaeology segment, that my own love Grostmas Suma starling Christmas Eve. He had her in a dozen boots and a touched her on the step. She didn't recognize the base at first, but then her

eyes were open Wald and she went to her me inches older burst. Then we laughed, and Bill we cried, look the fast is a jack got step who was toned up back and stood there lost in her embarrassed as the conversation. Dray went to have ourselves a thing to now, but couldn't find an open ball and wall a six pack at the Leader store, and we draged in her cold. The clang goes to sense weird drag as trying to read me all the happiness, but me the one new She switching Mammy her

I was a shower and by so, don you set your sobbing in my backroom store the man I want to be doing well. I set the audience. So I was held a name, but the trial the name was had Ray gonna go still? Weed? Since way does an hour trying to reach basing happyness

As I got it, and I watched to drive away just for a molded dollars back at school, it felt that awful familiar pay and as I learned to make my lavy by all the snow turned in way. This is the latest weather forecast from news Radio seven hundred wl jh oh. It's chilli out there this morning.

As temperas are in the mid thirties when you kick things off, you do warm to the low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies. You start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds build and temperaures back into the mid forties. From a severe weather station. I'm nine first Warning Meteorologist

Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW. Some light rain across the tri State right now, mostly in Hamilton County, and there is a light snow mix as well around Forest Park and just to the south of Blue Ash, but the rest of it is fairly dry. To be careful out there. Roads are wet right now. It is thirty seven degrees. Next updated eight thirty on Sandy Collins on news Radio seven hundred WLW, His News twenty four hours a day, News Radio, seven hundred WLW. God Bless President Trump.

Welcome to another hour the Saturday Morning edition for Saturday, December thirtieth, twenty twenty three. Gary Jeff Walker with you. That's me and you or you and that's perfectly fine with me too, seven hundred WLW. Lots of stuff going on, and as we close out the year. I'm glad this is going on right now because I talk to people who listen to the show and they always invariably mentioned this guy Science might back in for an end of

the year Science minute. Yes, but night blinding me, Good morning, Michael, I'm not I'm not fooling if people talk that people talk about the show, they talk about the gifts from Wally, they talk about the music professor segment, and almost always they will mention science. Mike, I like that science, my guy. So you have a lot of you have a lot of fans out there. How many years have you been doing this anyway, Michael jes a piece that's at thirteen now, is it thirteen? Yeah?

So about so about equally half the time I've been on the air on Saturday mornings, You've been doing these little science shots for us, and we got we actually have plenty of plenty of time this morning, so that don't feel rushed. But it was how Billy Billy Joel says when we wore a younger man's clothes. Yeah, absolutely, Actually no, I don't really change

my wardrobe that much, and I'm actually just wearing old clothes. It's funny because my buddy sent out a pictures from nineteen eighty seven we went on a fishing trip. I still have the hat, I still have the shirt. I think I threw away the shorts, but it's like I had two thirds of everything I was wearing. I still found in the basement. I still have my I mean I don't. I don't buy clothes. I wait for my wife to do it for Christmas. And she did. She up and

she could be some nice little pullover shirts that I like. The students in this country have it easy. Oh, there's no question about that. I think back to the taking the SATs, the SAT test to get into colleges. Now it's like it's a three hour test. But I was looking online and I've read this before, but I was fully with the Sun Young Test,

the College Scholastic Ability test. To see that test that's offered in South Korea's it runs from a forty am to five forty five pm only on the only it's only given on a Thursday, okay, and this year was November seventeenth. They do it on only on Thursdays in order to get the test out. You know, it takes a week to get the test out to the different areas that they're going to administer the test. Now, when this test is they take this test that no construction, there's no air the airspace

is closed. They don't want any distractions for these kids at all. The stock market is even delayed from opening, and the teachers have to wear special shoes. They don't make noise when they walk and when they when the teachers build the test, they are sent off into a secluded location for a month and no no phones, nothing are allowed, taking nothing with them electronics and build the test questions and then they're allowed to come back into society while they

take they format the test structure. What's interesting this year, Jerry Jeff is there's the test that says is a several parts obviously math, science and English and languages, the things that were not teaching kids anymore in this country. Yet they ended the first test ninety seconds early. Okay, the students are suing for fifteen thousand dollars apiece for this one location where they cut the first

section off ninety seconds early. They're suing for like fifteen thousand dollars. Whoever the test administrators were, because they they ended ninety seconds early on this like hour and a half portion of the test. My gods, I mean, they take this stuff very serious. Like I remember taking my ACT and I didn't I didn't find it tremendously difficult. I didn't do tremendously well. I

did it well enough to, you know, get into a college. But I can't imagine eight nine hours of testing and the teachers wearing certain kinds of shoes and in the whole right, Yeah, it's it's, it's, it's it's. I look at some of the questions and I don't. I just sad, there's no way. Well, I mean, this is another example of why the United States is falling so behind in every almost every educational discipline

and subject. And Asians, uh, you know, and you're talking about South Korea here are excelling and you know, have long since passed American students by for the most part. It's because of there's this dedication to education that they have that we simply do not have in this country anymore. We even some of the entrances buying will require the ACT or SAT scores anymore. Just write a really good letter or something on that nature, you know, well,

especially if you check a certain box. Although I hopefully the Supreme Court is into that. Uh. And I wonder in South Korea if they call this standardized testing racist. Probably not, Michael, Happy New Year. I'll look forward to twenty twenty four when more science minutes and people asking about you. Okay, yes, sir, I appreciate it. Take care. Seven hundred WLW.

I just got down praying for you and your listeners. Girl, I

gotta tell you something. When you put me on hold, God just opened up and started speaking to me, and it just hit me, Gary, this segment isn't a Rick thing. It isn't a Gary thing. It's a God thing. God said, say my name, spread my word, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do to well. Praise Jesus, go, Oh my God. The Book of Galatian, chapter six thirteen, Gary, I pray that we close the year with this and open twenty twenty four with this. God says, Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good

to all people. We have to hear that, Gary, all people, it's nefew to those who belong to the family of believers. That's God's word. Gary, It's a good word, and You're right.

Rick Green, thank you for being a part of my twenty twenty three and I look forward to twenty twenty four spending some time on Saturday mornings with you and the word of God. God bless you.

Gary. I love you all and have a great gay, fantastic breaking Come back in a moment seven under WLW this morning at nine, Mike Allen Rands raves and then calms down with a Virgin LIMERICKI on seven hundred WLW, iHeartRadio and ABC. Well, it's chili out there this morning. As tempaters are in the mid thirties when you kick things off, you do warm to the

low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies. You start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds build in temperas back into the mid forties. That's your nine first won in forecast, I'm meteorologist Cameron Harden's seven hundred WLW one Sports. That's an entirely different forecast than what I've been reading old. But you know what, they're only right about twenty percent of the time anyway. Here's a guy who's trying to get it right every time. Liam Tomlinson

with a report on sports, Sir. Kentucky falls to Clemson to the tax Player Gator Bowl thirty eight to thirty five yesterday afternoon. Both teams combined for a forty two point fourth quarter. Missouri tops Ohio State fourteen to three in the Connon Bowl last night, Notre Dame dominated Oregon State forty to eight Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Memphis at Iowa State in the Autazone Liberty Bowl yesterday thirty six to twenty six. Rocky Boyman our own seven hundred WLW host on

yom And face off in the Arizona Bowl today at four thirty. And of course on New Year's Day, we get the College Football Championship games, Yes, Alabama Michigan to start the day and to end at Washington and Texas too. I think that's two very exciting games. I'm very much looking forward to watching this all right, fantastic. We got uc a winner last night at home against Devonsville. They came back in the second half to cruise to victory,

and UK also with a big, big win on the courts. Yesterday, the Wildcats continue their march against Illinois state in the game last night, and the Bengals play the Kansas City Chiefs. Are begin our coverage and the Home of the Best Bengals coverage begins at twelve noon, kickoff at four point thirty as the Bengals still trying to stay in the playoff picture Lim I wanted to tell you as we close this new year, it's been a pleasure getting

to know you. And I'm sorry that you're leaving because all my producers eventually leave after a few months, but we don't know exactly when that'll be. But I'm looking forward to next year with you, and at this stage of my career, one of the great joys I have is like introducing young people, people who are new to the business, to the business and letting them know, if not how to do it right, how not to do it. And I hope, I hope that tutelage has been passed on to you

sufficiently and it will continue. Yeah, I've definitely learned a lot from you, the Gary Jeff Walker. I don't know if it's good or bad yet. I guess we'll figure out more down do this more, Like I said, sure, if it's do this or do not. Definitely do not do what Gary Jeff does. Either way, it's instructive and I feel like I've helped another human being on the planet. As as always do as you will, you will again eventually leave. They all leave me, They all jilt

me. So I'm not expecting you're the problem. Twenty seven producers in almost twenty seven years. Yeah. Maybe gifts from Wally up in a few minutes and also a conversation to end the year with Moegger on the way on seven hundred WLW. This is Katino Mobley. This is What's trending from Iheartsports Network presented by Draft Kings Fantasy Sports.

climbing to the mid forties from a severe weather station. I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW thirty seven degrees in Cincinnati. Next News at nine, I'm Sandy Collins on news radio seven hundred WLWB News twenty four hours a day. He was a radio seven hundred WLW Good Morning Kids. Time for gifts from Wally helping the homeless guys. Walking down the street, he's accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby looking homeless man who ask

him for a couple of bucks for dinner. The man gets out his wallet, takes a ten dollar bill out, and says, now, if I give you this money, will you buy beer instead of dinner? He said, No, I had to stop drinking years ago. My liver. Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food? No? I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive. Well, will you spend this on say greens fees at a golf course instead of on food? Said? Are you nuts, I haven't golfed in over twenty years.

Will you spend the money on a hooker instead of food? The man asked, So, what kind of disease am I going to get for ten lousy bucks? The homeless man says, I said, well, I'll tell you what. I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a wonderful, home cooked dinner made by my beautiful wife. The homeless guy is astounded. He said, won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty and I'd probably smell

awful. The man replied, that's okay. It's important for her to see what happens to a man after he's given up beer, gambling, golf and sex.

The last Saturday of the year seven under WLW Saturday Morning Edition, Gary jump Walker with you at eight thirty nine another one of those segments that people always talk about when they talk about this show. This is unsolicited that they just always say, yeah, I heard you with Mo. Love the segment with Mo. I've got questions

for Mo. Here he is one more time this year, Mo eggar, Hey, Mo, look up serious people and this appointment listening radio show. This is one of the appointments that a lot of people make. I'm not sure why, but apparent apparently people like you. They really like you, like Sally Fields when she won an oscar. Today Today Mo is tiger Wood's forty eighth birthday. And I suggest to Liam. I suggested to Liam after the show that we should go to a waffle house and maybe he can pick

up a waitress in honor. But it's never over. It never ends, No, it never ends. All right, So the question I have for you first off, and when we'll go through each one of these, I'm sure you've talked to your jaws off about all of these topics at the end of the year kind of stuff. What do you think was the biggest local sports story in Cincinnati? Was it Joey Vodo's last track around the basis for the Reds? Was it the Joe Burrow injury. Was it FC Cincinnati's incredible

MLS season? What do you think? I think the biggest story was the fact that the city fell in love with the Reds this summer. You know, everything you just mentioned, all those things were huge. You know, the Joe Burrow injury, Jake Browning's ascension, Joey playing his last game as Red sc Cincinnati's run, all of that awesome. But you know, the Reds in twenty twenty two, it was it was hard doing what we do and trying to engage people in a team that people just checked out on.

And I said often this summer that what was so great about this year's team from a professional standpoint was when we talked about baseball, we actually talked about baseball. We didn't talk about ownership or selling the team or why people weren't going to games. It was, you know, you don't want to see it. It came from from out of left field, because the Reds have

been accumulating some good young talent for a while. But the fact that the Reds went from losing one hundred games in twenty twenty two to being in first place in August and being in playoff contention until the final Saturday of the season, and doing it with this collection of young guys that just, you know, it felt like every single time a guy got promoted to the big leagues, he stepped in and contributed almost immediately. The fact that the foundations for

the future seems so bright. I think that was the story of the year, because if I would have said to you one year ago today, the Reds are going to get through a season, and they're going to be in first place late in the summer, and they're going to be in playoff contention through game one sixty, you would have said, there's no way. And yet that's exactly what happened. I tell you, Moe, and I guess I'm just you know, going along the tide with everybody else in town on

the Reds. Is that I actually made plans to watch games on television. I mean plans to listen to the game the Reds are on. I wanted to hear. I wanted to see what was next in that lineup of these young kids who had just come up, and all this promise for you know, wait till next year kind of took on a whole new meaning as the season closed because there was something actually to anticipate for twenty twenty four, and it was because of all the things you just mentioned. I agree, just

incredible. Today is also Lebron James' birthday and this could be his last season. And I know you're an NBA fan of sorts, you love basketball. As Lebron James turns thirty nine, which is just unfathomable to me that Lebron James is thirty. You know, I remember the eighteen year old or nineteen year old manchild coming in, you know, and you know, Lebron really hasn't cracked much. So, I mean he is the NBA's elite players still

to this day at the age of thirty nine. Just to reflections on Lebron and what could be his last NBA season, no player in the history of the NBA has had a longer prime. You know, I think people I hate the silly Lebron Jordan debate because it's not used to prop up either guy. It's used to denigrate one or the other, and it's lazy, and you know, I just it's the most trite played out debate in all of sports. What I think is an arguable is no player has ever had a

larger, longer prime than Lebron James. His rookie season was two thousand and three. We're about to cross over into twenty twenty four, and he's still easily one of the top five players in the sport. There has never been

I think a more impressive physical specimen. And you know, look, he's had some team failures that he has obviously been complicited when it comes to, you know, his NBA Finals record, but the fact that you have a player, and look, Lebron, if he wants to play into his forties and still be an effective player, still be an All Star caliber player. With the way he has sort of continued to refine his game and have it evolved, I wouldn't put it past him to be a really good player in

this league for years to come. He's that good. He takes that kind of care of his body, he's that physically imposing. And I think the other thing about Lebron that I've always really appreciated in an era where and the NBA has gone out of its way to sort of legislate this, in an era where many of the stars don't play, Lebron consistently has led the league in minutes played now not so much in recent years, which you can understand

as he's moved in to his late thirties. But he plays a heavy workload. He plays at times every position. He's had the longest prime in the history of the sport twenty years, a twenty year prime, and he's still

going. Has the College football Championship diminished the other bowl games? And we have so many bowl games going on, and you see players more and more in Malvern Harrison Junior, for example, in the olhih State game with the Cotton Bowl not playing and the quarterback who started the season for Ohio State is

transferring and it doesn't play in the game. But do you think the College Football Championship, the way it's set up now has has diminished the what used to be an honor if you earned a bowl berth in college football previously, even if it wasn't a major bowl game, you still that that was a big boon for your university, for the players. The players got pumped about it. I just don't see that kind of enthusiasm anymore on the bulls that

aren't part of that championship. You yeah, you're right, you're right. The answer is yes, now, I think this has been happening for a while. I think the first thing was, you know, we started to have too many balls, because I think we're both older enough to remember when there were, you know, not a handful of balls, but there were there were only so many balls, to the degree that it made each one of them a little bit more special. Well, when you have close to

forty the more you have of something, the less special anything is. So I think you start with that. And then just the way the sport has evolved. You started to have coaches leaving for one school and bailing on another before they played in a ballgame, and the coach not coaching in the ball game. Okay, well that's that sort of sends a signal these games aren't that meaningful. And then the hyper focus on the playoff, the expansion of

the playoff to four teams, next year's expansion to twelve teams. Yes, I mean there's such an intense focus on the championship in the playoffs and who's going to compete for the whole thing that these ball games their meaningfulness and their prestige has just taken a major hit. And then, look, I think there's one way to fix it. I think there's one way to help fix it, and that's for the ball games to hand out a peering seize the players. Because you're right. I mean, you look across the sport.

You know dozens and dozens and dozens of players have checked out of bowl games. Florida State, which you could argue should be playing for a national championship. This weekend, they're playing Georgia in a bowl game, and nearly every good Florida State player has either opted out or already hit the transfer portal. That game is likely to be not at all representative of the season that Florida

State had, So you're exactly right. I think what you do is just say, okay, the bowl games can pay appearances to individual players, and then maybe not all, probably not most, but at least some of the better players on each team would be compelled to actually play well. And to that point that you just made, the idea of a student athlete is completely dead in college sports, I think because of the nil because of appearance feel. It's been dead for a while, but we finally just coming out in

the open admitting it. There are no such thing as student athletes anymore in major college sports. Well, I don't know if I agree with that. I think I know plenty of student athletes who choose to be a student athlete. I think what has happened is, you know, first of all, I'm a huge proponent of everybody being able to get paid whatever they can get paid. It's happening out in the open though now right we know, maybe we don't know where the specific dollar figures are, but we know that the

guys and in many respects the women are getting paid. So I'm here for that. I think what has really thrown the sport in the chaos, and again I'm a proponent of this as well, is the ability to transfer and do so without having to sit out a year now you know, full transparency. I believe that should be the case. I don't think you should have to sit out a year of competition for transferring. But it has created, along with nil free agency, call it what it is, it's created pay

for play, call it what it is. Has that diminished the student part of student athlete for many Yes, But I can also tell you being around the UC program the way I am, there are no shortage of young men who take the student part of that very very seriously, that doesn't get as much attention. And you know, you do wonder when you have athletes skipping around from three to four schools at a time during their college career, what

impact does that have on their academics. But yeah, a lot of what we have suspected about college sports is now out in the open, and I think the players have sort of wrestled control away from the coaches and from the schools. And I'll be honest with you, I kind of like that, are you a proponent of us getting paid as much as we can. I'm a proponent of anybody getting paid as much as they can. I am anti salary cap, I am anti maximum salary, and I am anti restrictions on

name, image, enlightenness compensation. Yeah, I'm anti minimum wage because I'm anti maximum wage. I'm with you in that one too. So the last question, two weeks left in the NFL season, let's kind of steer clear of the Bengals for a second. God knows, we talk about the Bengals all the time. At the Home of the Best Bengals coverage. We're our flagship station here for the Men and Stripes, the Houdaeites. But let's talk about the last two weeks of the NFL season, starting with tonight Lions at

Cowboys. Dallas plays great at home. Detroit has been maybe the surprise of the entire NFC this year. What happens well, Dallas is at home where you're right, they've been amazingly good, averaging nearly averaging nearly forty points per game. I think what's interesting about the Detroit Lions is, you know, they can score with anybody. They've got Jamier Gibbs, They've got a Monree Saint Brown. Defensively, I think their secondary leaves a little bit to be

desired. But I think we've sort of talked about the NFC the way we talked about the AFC last year, where it's three teams, right, it's San Francisco, it's Stilly, it's Dallas. Can the Detroit Lions go on the road with their division title wrapped up and beat a really good team that has won fifteen straight games in their own building and kind of enter the conversation as legitimate NFC contender. And you know, look the Cowboys tonight, they're

at home. If they win, everybody's gonna say yes. Because they're at home. Chances are. They're going to be the five seed, which means they're going to have to win multiple playoff games on the road if they're going to get to the super Bowl. And I can't find anybody who thinks they can do that. The Baltimore Ravens clearly the class of the AFC. Yes, clearly, Yes. Now, I think tomorrow is going to be a great game between the Ravens and the Miami Dolphins. I certainly lean bolt more.

Feels like Lamar Jackson wrapped up his MVP. Defensively, they're just so fast, so quick to the ball. But the Dolphins do have the number one scoring offense in the NFL. They'll have a bit of a rest advantage because Baltimore is coming back home after playing on Monday Night on the West Coast. And the Ravens have had a lot of injuries. You know, Mark Andrews, they're tight end, suffered an injury against the Bengal. Keaton Mitchell,

running back was injured two weeks ago. They lost Kyle Hamilton during that game on Monday Night. It feels like he's avoided any sort of serious injury. But yeah, I think if you were if you were to look at the AFC and say I'm going to take one team versus the field. It would have to be the rave. All right, we we'll have a great have a great New Year's celebration, and we'll talk to you next year.

I hope I look forward to it. Thank you all. Fantas Moegor with us and Mike Allen here now Saturday midday is just getting ready to commence in a few moments. Michael, how you doing, buddy? How about that

rest conference yesterday by the governor of Ohio. I am still really one of the weakest things I've seen him do, and I've seen him do a lot of weak things, including remember during COVID cow tewing to that woman who no one elected, and following these instructions that were we have been proven now to be ridiculous and futile in the face of a cold virus. And now what he did yesterday was guarantee to veto legislation that would prevent the most heinous kind

of child abuse. And it's not about medical decisions or important decisions that family should make. You know, That's the same thing as Governor DeWine saying, well, it's your they're your children, and if you want to have sex with them or want to invite the neighbor next door to have sex with them, It's okay. That's an important family decision. The state doesn't need to be involved in that. I'm still reeling. The question I would like to

ask is why you know you and I are talk off the air. He did a three page statement to supplement the press conference as to his reasons for vetoing the bill, and it was two parts. It was the part you just talked about the gender transitioning, but the second part were biological men playing in girls and women's athletics. He didn't even comment on that. He didn't even touch it. I mean, did anything. Does he say anything in the statement about it? Nothing? Nothing, unless I missed it, and

I looked at it more than a couple of times. I mean, the overwhelming majority of this country, and the great overwhelming majority of Republicans do not support that. We're supposed to be the ones. The overwhelming majority of the country does not agree with child with child to transitioning. No, not transitioning,

it's mutilation. Just call it what it is. I mutated before before puberty even starts puberty blockers because before kids have a chance to actually grow inform their idiot parents or some doctor can decide that they need to have their stuff chopped off. It's it's absurd. It's Joseph Mingela type a Nazi Germany crap and he just said it's okay because it's a family decision. We're supposed to

be the ones Republicans stopping this crap, not permitting it. I've got Genie Schmidt coming on at eleven o'clock ten thirty, and she's gonna tell us I believe that they're going to get their act together and try to override this veto, and it looks like they might have the votes to do it. Well, you know the biological men playing in women's sports, Well that's unbelievably heinous

too. It's nothing like the child mutilation that goes on. You know, did you, in your wildest dreams, this is say, five ten years ago, think we'd even be talking about this, Not in my wildest nightmares. Mike Allen, Saturday Midday, come up up next, thanks to Liam Tomlinson, Thanks to you, and after the show show on it huddles, come on out and joy some football. There's plenty of it on TV. You should be able to earn money with your money and with more control. Solo funds makes it simple.
