Your dry for your Sunday, mostly Sunday with an afternoon high close to ninety. From your severe Weather station, I'm nine First Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden Our News Radio seven hundred WLW,

currently seventy one degrees. Our next update is at six thirty. I'm Sean Galviagher, News Radio seven hundred W. Voltivia News twenty four Hours a Day was a radio seven hundred wl W into the first official hour of the Saturday morning edition for August twelve, twenty twenty three. I'm Gary Jeff Walker. This is the first official hour. What happened before six o'clock does not matter. Put that in the rearview windshield. Straight ahead, baby. We got

places to go this morning. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand and eight. Where we're gonna go first, I believe is Florence Park. Care to talk to our friend, the lovely Lynette? Good morning, Lynette, Good morning Darlene. How are you? I'm well, It's so good to hear your voice and you sound like you're a happy girl, and that's all that I want is for you to be happy,

my baby. Well, I went to the dentist on the camp and I'm going to get upper tease and lower teeth are ready to have upper but they were yellow looking. So you're gonna get new ones. Yeah, that's wonderful. I need some new teeth too, but I don't have time or money to go to the dentist. How are you affording that? That cost a fortune? I have insurance, and your insurance obviously covers that. I don't have dental insurance right now. Yeah, no, facts, I barely I

barely have medical insurance. What's that? What'd you say is that these new plants that adds down to do it for so much a mass? Now, well, I don't I don't know if I'm I don't know, if I don't know if I'm old enough for that. That's that's Medicare, I believe. And I'm not quite old enough to take advantage of that wonderful Medicare program. Like you in a nursing nowme, they got a nursing nown plant, and you can be young, but you'll be covered. Well, I mean

the time that you should be covered is when you're old. When I was young, I was pretty proud of my body. Yeah. Have you have you ever done? Have you ever done any dancing? Lynette? I mean serious dancing of course, back in the day. What was your favorite thing to dance to? What's your name? Santana? Oh you like Santana? Oh yeah, that's surprise. I thought maybe the Twist, maybe Chubby Checker. I did all day when I was fifteen, But Santana stayed with me,

and I never thought of Santana as like a dance band. That's cool. Well what are you doing today? Anything fun? Just being go? All right? All right? Well you keep going. Your phone sounds good, your voice sounds good. And have a song for me next week? All right? Okayla, al right, baby, love you the lovely lady Lynnette. Getting some new teeth. That's exciting. And I bet day from Harrison will be exciting too. We'll talk to him after the break along with

the old radio Rick as we continue. For the people doing, I'm Gary Jeff Walker. All this is my fault. In February of sixteen ninety two in Salem, Massachusetts, over two hundred people were prosecuted for witchcraft after an immunity deal. H Potter testify Dale guilty, and half of Hogwarts was sent to the electric chair. Out and you'll hear another great American moment when you listen to Bill Cunningham. I am a great American.

I see you know about your tooth there? Brother, It's all right, you know what it is? Better? I took it. I took a couple of aspirin. Uh shot at Jack Daniels, some some taylanol and some delotted. So I'm fine noway you get Chris, get a good pair of channel locks and put put her foot

So anyway, do you have anything for us this morning? David? Yes, I have a question for you. Where do cows eat? Where the cows eating well in the pasture? What do you mean where the cows eat? Where well they eat? They eat in the calf literia gyah, the

cafeteria. Why why why are mummy? Why can't mummies keep friends? I don't know? Tell me, well, because they're all wrapped up in themselves. Gary, I heard he was a mania went into the crow's nest there because he heard they had food. Yeah, and he goes in. He goes in and he asked, you do you serve crabs here? And you know what they told him. They said, of course, we'll serve anybody. Dave, Dave, I need to talk to somebody else. Now, Okay, okay, good goodbye, Dave, goodbye, Dolly, old radio

Rick, good morning, how are you? Good morning? Well, unfortunately you're coming in five by five. It's a bad thing after days on. Oh this is a weird one. So have my been elbow deep in several radios this week and none of them done so by special request, I pulled this one off the shelf. It's a nineteen forty eight filco of forty eight twelve oh one. For those of you playing at home. No one is to Bing Crosby, because he was in the advertisement selling this thing. It

is just goofy. It's an am phonograph and they call it the hardwood cheer drop cabinet. The top is it from the top in the back, it's about a foot tall and it just gradually slopes down to the to the bottom. In the front. On the top is the dial and the two knobs. Halfway down the slope is the speaker drill, and then the bottom is a little pull out a flip down door, and you flip it down and you slide your seventy eight record in there. You can't see where it's going.

You're just shoving it into a slot and little nomans take care of it and play the record. So for the catalog would have you think, well, yeah, how well did that work? You know, it's kind of like it's kind of like jukebox technology at the time. You know that the records are like in a in a a vertical kind of position, and it you pick one out and it, you know, lands it down on the player. And I mean, I understand the the method of how it would

work, but how how practically did it work? Well? The engineers who put this together maybe didn't understand as much as kido as you did, But overall it's not bad. Yes, theoretically it does work. The problem is,

of course, and it's age doesn't help anything. But there's so much stuff going on in there that unless you use it regularly and keep it properly lubricated and so forth, any one little feeler that doesn't move right, or if the tone arm doesn't quite figure out where it's supposed to go, then wackiness can ensue. But that actually wasn't the weirdest part of the design of this thing. For number one, the power switch, volume control. Most

of us can figure that out pretty easily. This thing that when it's off, the knob is in the middle. You turn it one way and that turns it onto phono, or you turn it the other way and it turns it onto the radio, and which has a few different problems with it, but the biggest one is you don't have a whole lot of volume control there because of the amount of it, and it's not a particularly big unit because

of the amount of stuff that's crammed inside. They only had room for a five inch speaker, so the sounds actually quite disappointing, and no space for an antenna, and it's from nineteen forty eight when everything had its own antenna, so that's kind of a pain. But you know, given the fact that in today's dollars, it only cost eight hundred and ninety dollars, I guess you can excuse that stuff. So it was relatively inexpensive at the time.

Seventy bucks and forty eight. Yeah, wow, relatively yes, but still a whole lot. That's still still a lot of coin. Yeah, you're talking about lubrication, a lot of stuff going in there, and be an elbow deep. I was I was hoping we were talking about radios. I would like you to be with us again next Saturday morning, and hopefully that will happen, and in data will and hopefully you'll be listening to five

I'm nine first Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW. I'm seven hundred of wl U Sports, making his debut

this morning, a day after his birthday. Yesterday one, Liam Tomlinson with Sports. The Reds finally bounce back, the Bats comeback, and Andrew Abbott looks like Andrew Abbott again. Last night, Liam, Yeah, five and two thirds inning. You've only given up who earned runs. At the end, it got a little shaky, but the nine k's he was perfect through four until a little bloops single. He looked good out there. Yeah, I mean this is the when Andrew Abbott is on his game. The strikeouts

come and they were back last night. He did look sharp, gave up the two runs, David Bell made the switch and the Reds fortunately provided a little bit more insurance. Big night for Ellie de la Cruz too. About time, Yeah, it was huge for him, especially getting a two oh lead to start the game, especially in the Sumpie's been. Moving him to third in the lineup, I think really changed his approach and I think that really helped him today or yesterday. Yeah, great preseason football last night.

Oh, by the way, the Reds and Pirates continue their series in Pittsburgh this weekend. What's our airtime? You got that? The time that the game starts at seven o five, So we'll do inside pitch around six ozho five or so. Usually it's about an hour, is that right? Six six h five or six thirty? Okay, six five six thirty. Last night, uh, preseason game number one for the Cincinnati Bengals against the Green

Bay Packers. Not really a contest, not that it matters anything. Stand Out Evan McPherson four for four from field goals along with fifty one and one for one on the extra point. He warmed up. He looked good. He can he would scored thirteen of our nineteen points yesterday. Tyson Anderson on the defense had two interceptions one pick six, all Cincinnati's own Sean Clifford.

How many how many first first teamers played last night for the Bengals. I think the Bengals like about half of the starting defense played like a driver or two like more. The young dbs played a lot more. Jordan Battle got a lot of reps. Dax Hill got some reps. Well, they go at it again next week against the Atlanta Falcons in the fake football games. That's uh, that's what we got for Sports on seven seven. Looking forward to talking to the gang in Ripley. I know they're up and about.

I never know if they're on the streets on Main Street they're in Ripley, Ohio, or if they're actually in the bar Brookies, but they definitely know and have their fingers on the pulse of what's going on in Brown County. I can't wait for that conversation. Looking forward to our friends Steve from Ette, Ohio with a fifty phone call News of the week. Steve Schulte should

be joining us with some environmental news. And boy, I tell you what with the wildfires going on on the island of Maui, the destruction, complete destruction of the town of Lahina. One more time people pointing at catastrophic man made climate change as the cause. This is wildfire season in Maui, number one every year around the shoreline of that Hawaiian island. For those of us

who don't know because we don't live there, but I've studied this. There is fifteen inches of rain a year in the mountains, three hundred inches of a year, So not much of a problem with the wildfires in the mountainous areas, but people diving into the ocean, and there are so many other reasons besides your fossil fuel emitting car that this is going on. To go there is just oh, once again what the crazy left always does. Speaking of which, news just ahead on seven d WLW, is it possible to

make my knee radio seven hundred WL down. We have a sixty percent chance of rain, showers likely, possibly a thunderstorm after four o'clock this afternoon, high eighty six.

Correct. Yeah, these guys are just fighting for a roster

spot. Not obviously not the talent of Joe Burrow tomar Chase out on the field, but I mean, I think it's fun to see some of these guys trying to make plays, but it's definitely a reminder that we're still a little bit aways from football sometimes Absolutely sixty five.

You had a solid six seven voices like his Sometimes wake me up in the middle night and I'm not talking, but someone's talking in my sleep, and it's usually not quite as pifthy as this. And to the point is this, So let's bring in Steve from attan Ohio. Good morning, Stephen, Hi, Gary, Jeff right away. I want to thank John the birthday Tuba man, for that telephone called the Last Saturday Night. Isn't he make it? Don okay for

the news of the week. Former Reds player twenty fifteen to twenty twenty one, Michael Lorenzen pitched a no hitter this week in his first appearance for the Phillies. That puts him in a unique category of major league pitchers in the modern era. But some of you recall that Lorenzen was famous with the Reds

for being a two position player. He was an excellent hitter. Notably, while here in Cincinnati, he became only the second player in MLB history to post a win in a game as a pitcher, play another field position in that game, and hit all run. It had been nearly a century since the first player to do that accomplished the feat. Who was it? I'll tell you later, but I just gave you a big clue. The Reds

have an interesting history, by the way, for hitters. Johnny Vandermere is almost all of you know well known for being the only big league pitcher to throw two consecutive no hitters. That was in nineteen thirty eight, but Vandermere was also in the dugout in nineteen forty seven, when Cincinnati's Yule Blackwell came just two outs from consecutive no hitters. Blackey or the Whip, if you will, had one of the greatest years for a pitcher in the game's history.

During that forty seventh season he was twenty two and eight. There was a stretch this is amazing when he made seventeen appearances he was sixteen and oh he had a one point three four ERA A. During that streak, he led the league in complete games with twenty twenty three complete games and strikeouts with one ninety three. You can't imagine any pitcher you know doing that today. The twenty three complete games in his eight years with the Reds, Blackie made

the All Star team six times. Last week I mentioned Dick's doctor strange Glove Stewart and his bad luck in not making it to the designated hitter era. It was Blackwell's misfortune to have chronic shoulder problems early before surgery might have corrected that and prolonged his career. He never was as dominating after that seventh season, constantly played with health problems. He had to have a kidney removed in

nineteen forty nine. He also had the misfortune to have never played for a winning team in Cincinnati, a notoriously lousy lineup of hitters six six, one ninety five when he was healthy. At times he went down to one sixty five. With a sidearm delivery and a great sinking fastball, Blackwell was positively scary, quote unquote, according to Roy Campanella and Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner said he was the best pitcher in the National League in the nineteen forties.

Born in Fresno, California, nineteen twenty two, he attracted lots of attention while still in high school. In nineteen forty one, his dad and mom listened to the business of baseball. Here went shopping for a big league team for their seventeen year old. A bonus of five or six thousand dollars is not out of the question, but the Blackwells wanted a promise that Yule would

be invited to a big league training camp. The Cardinals branch Rickey and the Dodgers Larry McPhail, who had been by the way the REDSDM from thirty three to thirty six, balked, as did other clubs, not the Cincinnati Reds. In their deal, Yule got a seven hundred and fifty dollars bonus. Compare this today at a two hundred and fifty dollars kicker if he lasted the entire season at the Reds Class C Farm Club in Ogden, Utah. Good

negotiating by the Reds. It was Yule's mother's hometown, by the way, he got He got the full one thousand dollars, and he did make the red spring training camp. At forty two. He made the roster, but later got sent down to Syracuse. Never lucky, Yule started nineteen forty three getting drafted by the US Army and didn't return to the Reds until forty six, losing three years in the process. Blackie wound up with the Yankees at fifty two. They released him in fifty five. He was only thirty two

at that time. One wonders I do if Blackie ever faced Ted Williams in the American League. They had bet in a high school tournament game in California. Ted always, the professor of hitting at pitching, told Blackie, you're tipping off your pitches. You will stop making that mistake, and never forgot who told him. Blackwell died of cancer in nineteen ninety six. He had

retired as a liquor salesman in North Carolina. By the way, the answers to the quiz about Michael Lorenzen, the other player you've guessed that, Babe Ruth. I got to fooling around with those statistics on Blackwell, which I thought were absolutely unbelievable, and I quickly came across Bob Gibson and something called

the Year of the Pitcher nineteen sixty eight. I am constantly amazed at these sticks by Gibson Cardinals pitcher twenty two and nine ERA one point one, two complete games, twenty eight shutouts, thirteen strikeouts, two sixty eight and he appeared in only thirty four games. In the World Series versus Detroit, he was two and one. He had three complete games and an ERA at one point six seven. Unfortunately for Bob, his Cardinals lost to the Tigers.

But catch this Year of the Tie of the Pitcher. Denny McClain, the last pitcher yes to win thirty games of the season, was thirty one and six for Detroit, had an ERA at one point nine six, but he was only one and two in the World Series, but he did win games six In the regular season. He pitched three hundred and thirty six inning. Oh God, he will never see that again. But here's the here's the kicker. Neither Gibson nor McLain was the most valuable player in the World Series.

That was another pitcher. The Tigers star was series MVP Mickey Lullich. He was three and ozero. Yeah, he won three games, including the seventh game. He allowed only five runs in three complete games, and hit the only homer of his major league career. Anyway, I just thought i'd have fun with that. Thank you so much, Stephen. And the thing is I was lucky enough to it at the latter stages of his career. See Bob Gibson pitch in Saint Louis for the Cardinals. We lived there when

I was a kid, and there was nobody like him. You're right. He was fluid, you know, he had this big wind up and delivery and he was and he was scary as hell too. Yes, amen, brother, Because we may get in to h some more connections with Red's baseball and we'll update you on Branch Rickey and we'll cross the river and talk about Happy Chandler. All right, Hey, take care of yourself. Thank you so much. Steve from Eton, Ohio seven WLW at six fifty five.

You bet you good morning, Stephen. How are you do it? Moran, Garret, Jeff Better and I de own and you say it's getting better. The climate is getting better, save for example, in the state of Virginia. Correct, Yes, I have some date on that, and that's what I was going going to report. But with the tragic wildfires and Malli, Hawaii, and the reporting particularly is spreading again distortions and lies about climate

change, and it really hacked me off. This past Thursday, a couple of days ago, around one o'clock by wife Tad on the Fox News and who I to call their the regressive progressive Jessica. They're talking about the wildfires in Mali and whatnot, and she commented that the hurricanes are getting stronger due to man made catastrophic climate change. Not true. But really also hacked me off is that nobody had Fox Challenger about it. But all you have to

do is go to Climate at a Glance dot com. The seat of the data, and even the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that there's no increase in the frequency and severity of hurricanes. This is all based upon models, which, as you know we've talked about, have always proven to be

wrong. So but yesterday, thank god, one of your favorite organizations, the CO two Coalition, it came out with one of their newsletters with the the headline Hawaiian fires fueled by invasive grasses in a wet spring and human ignition sources the article by James Steele. He's a biologist and former director of the San Francisco State Universities here and had a field campus and you know some things

that I never realized, you know, not living in Hawaii. Hawaii is one of the most fire prone states in the US, and it gives in the articles data Asobal data on that lightning is rare in Maui, only a few per year and most occurring January and February. And there's no reports of any lightning during August. So mother nature is not the source of this tragic fire. But one of the things a doctor Klay Trauernick I think. He's

Professor of NAT's Resources and Environmental Management at the University of Hawaii. He notes that wildfires have quadrupled in Hawaii in recent decades, and that's probably where some people say about climate change, but it's not climate change. His assessment is that unmanaged invasive grasslands have flourished in Hawaii after decades of declining agriculture. Malui used to have a new number of pineapple and sugar plantations that have been abandoned.

What these invasive grasses have done is taken over and and these grasses that fire experts they call them a one hour leg fuel, meaning that within a half a day of dry weather, that the half a day they become highly flammable, allowing fires to rapidly spread in even moderate winds. And of course

we're in Maui's rainless period dry periods. And what makes things worse than the Lahaina area, the town that really got hit hard is it situated on the leeward side of the mountains of Maui, which means the winds come from the east. They the mountains, they ring out all the moisture of rain on east side of the mountains. We're only fifteen inches of rain occur in the

Lahina area. Yeah, I was mentioned in that earlier this morning, Steve, We're running a little bit long here, but it's important to comment real quick. Wet seasons create make more danger. According to the data, this past spring was cooler. Gee, what about global warm this corner and winter the normal leading to a high grass load. It's again Mother Nature and this

disaster was unfortunately just waiting to happen, and unfortunately it happened. And I also saw a report just as an addendum, that arson has been Incidents of arson have almost doubled in the state of Hawaii over the last few years. As well. Something else these grasses, something not native to the Hawaii No, the olifers bringing these grasses that you were talking about, these invasive species of plant life, which is dryer end is like gasoline on a fire.

The Reds bats come alive last night in Pittsburgh and Game one against the Pirates, and Andrew Abbott is back to be in the Andrew Abbott we always knew he could be, right Liam, of course, Yeah, I mean, this is his career long and inning so far this year. So at the end of the start you can kind of see

him wearing down. But before that he was on fire. Nine strikeouts he was dealing, Yeah, I mean, but he's young enough, he's still he could still be a hundred pitch pitcher, you know, just depending on the wear and tear of the game a specific game. But nine strikeouts, like you said, and back to form that we had come to expect, almost like a Greg Maddox with a better fastball. And speaking of bats coming alive, we mentioned Ellie de la Cruz. Last time Spencer Steer had Luke

Maley the three run homer. But Will Benson was a three hitter last night against the Bat And I love I love the energy of Will Benson. I love what he brings to the team, the speed and they and the bat. Yeah, at the beginning of the season, I saw his interview when he first came to since he talking about wanting to play. He was a career minor league player, and I was excited for him. And then he kind of just crabbed the bed to start. But man, he came went

down triple A and came back up and it's been awesome. Yes, Indeed, the Bengals lose the preseason game last night against the Green Bay Packers, but you know, at the end of snow Joe Burrow, no Jamar Chase.

He was a radio seven hundred W l W remembering those who have passed, those who are still with us. And number one with the bullet it's the music professor me Gary Jeff Walker and rock and

Roll Archaeology. On a Saturday morning on seven hundred W l W, I'll be in sunlight, Save the eyes of your want more eyes that can hold. Then she swept me on, bee made my way. Since m bees, I'll never have to look them. I found that I had been looking against for deed and mine wants and learn all the child of last my line. Now I see it dearly I can do. Then my home see me shine yes, remembering the eyes of a New York woman in the voice of b. J. Thomas, who Standley we lost just a couple of years

ago. He would have celebrated a birthday this week. For that and more, we bring in the music professor Jim le Barbara, good morning, prov tell me about BJ Thomas, Billy Joe a great time from Houston, Texas. Sang in the church choir and then in high school had this little band he had called the Triumphs. And there was another guy in Houston we know Roy had had the Treats. Who had treats were right thing? And the two of those those are the two bands always ended up in the band the

Battle of the Band contest in Houston, Texas. And that's where they really got the big break. And he made a record, of course, the first record, I'm So Lonesome I could cry the song you just heard was the Mark James song The Eyes of the New York Woman, one of those records that probably should have been a bigger hit. Mark James wrote the song, and then the next record Mark James wrote for him was a smash called Hooked on the Feeling. But that's a great song you just played because you

can't look to love. It just kind of happens. And BJ had told me the reason he did I'm for Lonesome I could cry the Hank Williams song was because his dad was an alcoholic, a bad alcoholic. That was his favorite song, and he loved Hank William's music. And he said that was all the problems that BJ had. He said, I can trace back to my father who was this alcoholic. And then BJ fell into the drug scene

and alcohol scene, and thank god his wife Gloria stayed by inside. At one point BJ told me he was taking over a hundred pills a day and she saved him many times in the evening because he was choking to death. And then he found Jesus and became a Christian and that that turned his whole life around. He made some Christian records and had a lot of pop records. That was one of the good records he had. He had a whole bunch more as you know, you know, but that was one of those

records probably should have gotten more recognition. I think I've always loved it. Talking with Jim Lar Barbara rock and Roll Archaeology, we lost Robbie robertson this week, man the driving force behind a pioneering rock and roll group, the band. Now when you think of Robbie Robinson, we've talked about the different things in rocker and roll. But he had a band called the Hawks.

He was Ronny Hawkins' backup band. Ronning Hawkins was this rock and Billy Stingler from it did marry Lou a bunch of records from down in Arkansas, and they was backup band. And then Bob Dylan heard him and they became the band to backed up Bob Dylan on the electronic shows. And Dylan really liked them. And then Dylan had a motorcycle accident, said come on live with me, guys, let's create, and he bought when he runted this house

called the Big Pink in Woodstock and it was that creative little area. They had a little recording studio there, and so Robbie Robinson is diddling with his guitar news Lee, and trying to come up with a song for an album they were Drew called the music from Big Pink, and he looked inside his Martin guitar and he saw the standard Martin imprint that said the instrument was crafted

in Nashville, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and the name of the town's back memories of a trip that he made with the Hawks down from Canada, the Mississippi Delta, where he's like sixteen years old, and he thought of all the characters he met on the trip, and that would become in his mind the basis of the song, and the song's course was about these people. And if you listen to the lyrics of the song,

there's young Anna Lee. Anna Lee is really Anna Lee Ampston Lee Von friends, Levon Helm's friend and then share a girlfriend, Carmen, and she was from Levon Helms's hometowns Jerkey, scratch Rock, Kansaw and Crazy Chester. Was this euthentric restident Fayetteville, Arkansas. H carried it around to actually have a capgin was on his wrist, on his waist and Chaudie Hawkins when he'd come into the bar and he said, man, he to keep the piece,

suggest her keep the piece at the barber, he claimed. And those those characters together made up a song that became the first first single that came out of the music from Big Pink, and it was the White remembering Robbie Robertson of the band one I pulled in the nasurement. Wasn't meaning about hand fast day. I just need some place where I can leave my head and like a can you tell me where a man might kind of man?

Moving along. Another birthday this past week or is it this week or this week ahead, you'll be celebrating a birthday of somebody that you got to know very well from the Cleveland area, right Jim, Yeah, Friday, Friday, yesterday, yesterday was Eric Kleiman's birthday. And I arrantually I never met Eric klement but I know the guys in his band. He's kicked from outside of Cleveland, Minnhurst, Ohio. And he was classically trained on the piano.

And then, like so many kids watching TV one Sunday ninety sees the Beatles and his whole life changes. He decided to take up the guitar, and it doesn't like with his teachers teaching him, and he buys one of those Beatle chord books, learns how to play the guitar, goes to John Kell University and joins a band called Cyrus Erie. And there was another band in Cleveland and I worked with all the time, with a bunch of guys that we're some facial musicians. We had a number one record for seven weeks

called It's Cold Outside of nineteen sixty seven. The choir, So with Wally Bryson and the guys see Me von Fontane and David Smiley, they combined together our theory and the choir and became the Raspberries, And of course the first big record they did, and Eric wrote the songs and he was the creative force behind this group, Go all the Way to tell how God by all the sensors, and Eric went under their solo stuff all by myself and a

bunch of records. Wrote songs for you Sean Cassidy That's rock and roll and Hungry Eyes were Dirty Dancing. And then another record they did with the choir, that er that Eric Carmen wrote was a song that he said, and he admits that he based the song on the guitar part on Todd Rundgren song Couldn't I Just Tell You? And he did that because he said, hell Todd Stoll, aspects of the Raspberry songs that I wrote I can remember into his song I saw the lights and he said, I just I just did

that. Now, if you listen to this song, this song is a perfect song for Paul McCartney, absolutely perfect for him as a great little catchy hook to it, and it's power rock and roll that uncorts like a the Captain and just explodes. And there's that other urgent the machine gun. That's how the stair drum that opens it up, and that's my friends would be bum bunting on drums. And this is a raspberries as I want to be with you, baby, love it. If you're right though, it's perfect

power pop. Man. If we were, we wouldn't not to be worried with you. I want to be with him. We just like something's long and were waiting so long to me, I want love be with you, be with him. I want to be with you. I want to be with him. What to night to night Night West with you? So might

I love you tonight when we're two and his side he doesn't be si wh oh yeah night queen, it would be you know, I'd love to hear like a good punk band do that song, and you know I think it would fit and you mentioned earlier that you know, this would be a perfect song for Paul McCartney. Absolutely, man, they captured it. Eric Carmen and the Raspberries. Happy birthday, Eric Carmen. Yesterday on the eleventh. We have one more

and it's a number one song. Jim tell me about it. Yeah, number one this week in nineteen seventy five to bjs uh, they're they're they're making an album. They're working on an album, and they would drive over this bridge and then this came Bay crossing. This came Brain Bay near Miami, and the rhythm was inspired by the chunky, chunky chunk of sound of

a car rolling over this bridge, and that's where this came from. They got the studio and they had that scratching guitar intro and that was done by Barry and the funky bassline was Mortist and the pulsating synthesizer bassline's actually one of the earliest uses of synth base on a pop record. And they get they get to the studio and they have this thing almost then, and they talked to the producer and he said, what's the title of the song, and

said when they well, yeah, you know, it's a dance. You danced with your eyes and he saw you know. That's what it's all about. It says now on the way of the second, hold on, guys, what's the title is? He said, you're talking about it's a black expression for bing. Oh oh really? Okay. We're telling lines and thatchings some of the lyrics in the song and Barry GiB on this track talking about this frustration on a woman telling him life and he's like a big fool and

he's sick of it. And it becomes this this record that comes out originally called Drive Talking, and they changed the title and this was the first big disco hit to the BJS to the BJS, and they became the iconic stars of the era with that falsetto harmony they had over the heavy dance beats. And then they had seven more number ones in the disco era. And this happened actually four years almost to the day of their first number one hit called

the How Can You Mend the Book and Heart? And I'm talking about Drive Shocking to became Jarve Talking. Thanks prop, great stuff. Let's beg it out.

Brendaman and Jones on Baseball Just ahead on the Saturday morning edition the seven hundred w l W I'm not going very through in Southern Financial Group presents Brendaman and Jones on Baseball brought to you and Park Box, Nappa Barns and by Ralph's American Grill, Wilmington, Ohio on

seven hundred l JBN. You the Home of the Reds. You mentioned this guy's name the other day in passing, and I'm glad you did, because I think we need to point up I think a great value to this club and to this organization who has flown under the radar all year in the wake of being one of three catchers on this club. Kurt Casali has had some physical problems lately that has resulted in Luke Mailey going behind the plate pretty much

on a daily basis. And I think despite his recent defensive shortcomings, I think this guy has done a heck of a job for this club. He's done a real nice job. I happen to have met Luke a couple a few years ago when he played against Hunter at covecath Really a nice boy. Yeah, family did a great job brace and they shared the class actor. Yeah. But my point is this, when you were a backup catcher, you'd better be a hell of a nice guy. Don't you agree with that?

The backup catchers are always the best guys on the team. Is just where we're going with the show. Yeah, because I think you could give an example Bill Plummer, great guy, great guy, sal Buttera couldn't play a good guy. Oh, Grandpa was a nice guy, lady. But it is weird how you get that if you're number two catcher, you're just the You make the team, right, You're you're part of the present club. Now, let's don't minimize Oh I know, I know, but you

got to be a good guy. Seem like I would never be a backup catcher because you're not a good guy. That's right. We'll be back with more of a moment. The roar of our engines, the pump of our hearts, the pedal to our metal, the sparks that ignite us the piston. Let me give you an example of a backup catcher. He played ten years in the big leagues. He played in one hundred and forty games, four clubs. He was fifteen years as a coach. I'm talking about a

guy, Matt Sinatro. Do you ever heard? Okay, he was a club organization guy for this club. He was. He was a terrible hitter. He was terrible at being a catcher. I don't think he could throw a lick, but he was positive. He was funny. Do you know what his lifetime average is? One ninety eight hit an ops of four seven D eight. Did you ever play in the big leagues? Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I guess he did ten years, is my point.

Okay, it's amazing I don't remember. Isn't that amazing. Luke's a little bit better than that. Well, he's a lot better. And I'm telling you Luke's going to play a long time. Yeah. I don't disagree. And I think he would be the kind of guy that could if he wanted to walk the same road that Matt Matt Sinatro did, and that is to be an organization guy with the hope one day of becoming a big league coach.

I think he could do that. Don't you think it's easy? Not I'm not talking about Malli so much, but being a backup catcher, you mean be even nice guys? Yeah, you know. You bring it up, and I start to think, in my mind's eye, some of the other guys have been backup catchers on this club, and I can't remember a guy that was a jerk. Well, no, Plumber only played if Johnny Bench didn't want to play. Or the second game of double head, well

it was against Steve Carlton and JR. Richard because that's what Plumber told me. Suspens didn't want to face those pitchers. You have three home runs in a game off of Steve Carlton. You know my first big link hit was

on Steve Carlton. Do we ever talk about that? That's a story for another days the radio, we've been listening to Brennaman and Jones on Baseball, presented by Western and Southern Financial Group and brought to you in part five the Ohio Department of Public State and by eighty Door in Window coming on seven hundred W L job at the Home of the Red in the age of the impersonal mega dealership.

Okay, all right, so how did you get involved Sam in all this? Well, you know, I work in the mornings actually at Minuteman Press and Corane

and I'm a graphic designer. But in the afternoon, I'm a Christian education teacher working with the public schools. And we had an outreach that we started called Pivot three sixty Care Center and it's a Christian based faith collaborative and we work with our local nonprofits in the area and local area churches in Colorine Township and the care centers located at Northwest Community Church next to col Rane High School. We help families that need critical care, so if they need food,

clothing, shelter, all of those types of things. We try to help stabilize those families. Then we also offer wraparound services connecting them to what can be complicated agency processes and helping them through those and navigate so that they could have a better outcome for their family. You know, once we get them past that stabilization, then we also try to work with him on coaching for positive mindset. Maybe it's a job, maybe it's you know, helping their

child get the tutoring that they need. So there's a variety of wrap around services that we also offers. It's along the lines of, you know, feed a man of fish and you got him fed for the night, Teach him and to fish and he'll have food the rest of his life. It's it's the same kind of prospect I would think, Brian, you're a former you're a former Cincinnati police officer and yeah, I retired in twenty twenty after twenty years of faithful service to the county, city and Green Township and that's

Scottish born Mark Freudter knop Fler celebrating birthday seventy four on this Saturday morning, still enjoying the walk of life, Liam, can you turn that down? I can't hear myself. Thank you? That's perfect. Oh man. Remember a few years back, this was all the every everybody in sports US at sports stadiums,

walk up music. You heard Walk of Life everywhere and it's one of those jock jam things. Well, let's talk about some jock jams on fields and on the scoreboards. Moe Egger joins us for that. Hey Mo, how you doing? I'm good man, how are you? You remember when Walk of Life was like everywhere in every sports video, every stadium in the country. It's like, what was it? The Parsons Project had that I

Am the Sky the opening from that. The Bulls used that during their championship runs in the nineties, and there's is there a favorite jock jams song that was prevalent that you still like? Not burn out? It felt to me like in the nineties you couldn't go to a sporting event without hearing two things. Two songs. You would hear bang on the drum all day, right, Todd run Gring and every single sporting event would feature Rock and Roll Part

two by Gary Glitter, Gary Glitter and then Yeah. And then when we found out what Gary Glitter was really all about, that song just completely went away. But there was a stretch for five years where you could not go to a sporting event without hearing Rock and Roll Part two incessively. Now now now, now, yeah, I love that, you know, and you

know what, the song didn't didn't molest anybody, just Gary Glitter. I mean, maybe maybe it should be re recorded by someone who is not a pedophile or a child pornographer, and then it'd be okay to play again. Perhaps I would be okay with that. Okay, But Mark Knopfler's birthday and before we had a story about Mark Knopfler I have not told, at least in a long time. That's the other thing is the older I get.

I keep worrying that I've told these stories so many times that people are going, oh, no, not that story again, because everybody knows that guy, especially an older guy like that. But anyway, I'm sitting at a place in Nashville when I worked there. It's back in the eighties, late eighties called the Pancake Pantry or whatever it was. You know, they have one of those in Montgomery, I think, or they did, But you know, were the lines out the door on a Saturday morning, people going

to get their cakes and their breakfast and stuff. And I was there with the music director of the radio station and another buddy having breakfast on a Saturday morning, and as we are sitting down at our table, these two guys walk in and Louie Kaplan looks at me and said, you know who that is? And watching them looks like looks like Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler.

And it was at the time when Knopfler was in Nashville recording some stuff with the great chet Atkins, who has since passed, of course, and we're sitting like fifteen feet away from Mark Knopfler and Jet Atkins. I guess that stuff happens a lot in a place like Nashville, but it was just my eyes is kind of bugged outing. That's the Sultanous Wings guy. I'm watching that. That's the money for Nothing guy right here in front of me at

breakfast. So that was kind of cool. Eating some pancakes, eating some pancakes last night. The Reds deserves some pancakes. Finally, it looked like the Reds team that we saw on the Streak of twelve, remember that before the All Star break, and Andrew Abbott returned to his but what we had come to expect out of him, you know, before the last two outings, and was on it again. Nine strikeouts again, and the bats came alive. I really really like Will Benson. And I had somebody arguing,

said, yeah, they ought to sit him more. Man, I don't. I don't think he you know, blah blah blah, and said, are you kidding me? He's like, he's like one of the energy sparks of this team anytime that he's in the lineup and he's just making and he did last night, Ella Dela Cruz. I mean it was one of those occasions where the bats and the pitching all came back to like, Wow, now this is this is what excited us in the first place. What do

you think of the performance last night? Or were you wrapped up in the the USFL games that was posing as an NFL game. No, what the Reds did last night looked like Jim, you're right. First of all, you started with the starting pitching Andrew Abbott. Andrew Abbott had sort of struggled a little bit over his last few starts. He was terrific last night. I'm with you on Will Benson. You know he I think we've talked about

this. He represents one of the cooler feel good stories of this team, because you know, he was a guy to the Cleveland Guardians essentially gave up on and the Reds acquired this offseason, brought him the spring training. He had a killer spring training, made the opening day roster, and then for

those first two weeks could not have looked more clueless at the plate. They set him down, and I think there were a lot of us who thought, we're never going to see Will Benson again, And obviously we have, and he's been terrific. And I think there's the tangibles. You know, his swing is so pretty, He's been really good in the field. But

I think he's a part of the emotional core of this team. You know, we've talked so much about their chemistry and their togetherness and all that stuff, and that those things being a big reason why this team has remained in contention. I think Will Benson's a major reason why. And he is. I don't think people realize this because you know, he was an outside acquisition. He's a rookie too. You know, we've we've marveled over, you

know, some of these guys, and what they've done is rookies. Will Benson got a cup of coffee last year with Cleveland, and then you know this is his first full season, essentially, I guess, his first full season in the big leagues. No, there's no reason to sit him. I don't know who you would play in his place, and he had a big night last night. I don't think it's a big deal either. Where

where La de la Cruz hits in that lineup? Mo I? You know they moved him off of the leadoff spot, which I thought was, you know, an okay move on David Bell's part. But I think you could hit La de la Cruz at the bottom of the lineup and it it might be more productive. What do you think about that idea? I think hitting him leadoff was an experiment that completely failed, and they waited too long to

take him out of the leadoff spot. Look, I think you could hit him anywhere, and he's gonna have to learn to be more selective at the plate. He's gonna have to learn how to hit breaking pitches and change ups. But you know, that's fine, that's part of being a rookie. But those are things that lack that his game lacks. That simply don't mess with batting leadoff, and I think was him individually. They sort of messed

with something that wasn't broken. You know, when he was when he was hitting clean up his last day as the cleanup hitter, he was sitting with a batting average of two ninety seven. He was getting on base at a reasonably good clip as a leadoff batter. I think the on base percentage was something around two seventy or two eighty. And he that may work for him one day. He may one day turn into a guy that you want batting leadoff. I certainly understand, you know, the speed quotions that he brings

to the table, but he simply is just too uh. He's too much of a free swinger, and he doesn't take enough pitches, and he's not good at hitting breaking pitches. And you know, all that right now is fine. All those things may come. But I think batting him leadoff was was something that didn't make any sense. And I do think, you know, perhaps it's best for him to bat somewhere else lower in the batting order.

Maybe it takes a little pressure off him, Maybe he has a better chance of hitting with guys on base, and so he sees more fastballs. And if he's getting fastballs, he's obviously got the opportunity to crush them. But him batting leadoff was something that simply didn't work. And honestly, I

think they waited way too long to take him out. Well, you know, if if he got Friedel leading off and you got Ellie de la Cruz and then say in the nine spot later on in a game, that's that's keeping keeping the batting order alive for the top of the lineup and at the top of the order. I think there's some maybe you look into that as far as the Bengals and Packers go. Last night in the preseason game,

I always always have told you. I mean, I think it's wonderful for the guys that are, you know, fighting fighting their guts out to make the roster. But I really don't care to watch anything. I really don't. I checked in just for like, I don't know, maybe two minutes to see what was going on, and it was earlier in the game, and it was just like, okay, ho hum, I'm going back to

the Reds game, which I did. And I mean, do you what is the value of preseason NFL football other than the teams can make a lot of money? I think to a degree, I mean from an entertainment standpoint, there's there's zero value. Uh you and I know that. I think coaches will tell you that it does aid in the evaluation of younger players. I buy that, but you know, I said this the other day, we only have three preseason games now. The days in which they had four

preason game preseason games are thankfully over. We've had three preseason games now for three years. It feels like now you look back and you're like, wow, they had four of those. And then you go back even further back in the seven and they had six of those. Can you imagine did they really have six preseason games? They used to play six preseason games and fourteen regular seas. I remember the fourteen regular seat, but I know they were

playing six preseason games. They would play six preseason games. There's no value aside from maybe the ability to evaluate younger players. For the coaches, there's no value. And I think also to give younger players who might not make your team, you know, they can put something on tape and now it's you know, circulates throughout the league and uh, you know, teams get a chance to pluck them and add them to their team atsu cutdown day. I think it serves that purpose. But you know, to me, I'm

sort of like you. I went through those games just hoping that there are no major injuries, and the obviously teams have have sort of gone in the direction of not playing most of their main guys. Dax's Hill for the Bengals was really the only starter who got major snaps last night, and really only for one series. Everybody is wisened up to the fact that if you if you lose a key player during the preseason game, it's just devastating. And

so the main guys for the most part don't play. And I'm okay with that. And and once again, for one reason or another, Joe Burrow doesn't have to worry about even being tapped on the shoulder for preseason. You know, if it's not an appendec to me, it's a strained calf, or maybe it's you know whatever. It's just good that that the Bengals franchise marquee player gets to take a little bit more time off. He's it's not

like he's not working on his game, you know. Yeah, you know, he's missing the practice time, which you know, I don't think is is insignificant. He's never had a normal tleaning camp. But you know, he has appeared in preseason games very very briefly, and when he has, most of us have been holding our breath. And so there is a part of me I certainly wish that Joe wasn't dealing with a calf issue, but believing that he is going to be okay to play a week one, I'm

not upset that they're not. They don't even have to wrestle with the decision as to whether or not he should play it. No, it doesn't count. It's all out of their hands. It's beautiful. And besides, mos as Alan Iverson instructed us years ago, we're talking about practice. We're not talking about a game, talking about practice, right, Yeah, alright, have a Fanta. You're playing any golf this weekend. I'm thinking about it. They had to work on it, all right, Have a great weekend

regardless of what you do, and we'll talk to you soon. Moe Egger with us on a Saturday morning, and Mike Allen has popped in this to you a few minutes early for Saturday midday counselor. How's your week? It's pretty good. It's kind of uneventful on the political front. Door really did your buffalo some judges and get your clients off pretty cool. Usually you don't come with that resounding about like, wow, it's a great week. Now. It was a busy week, a very busy week. But in the

political world, you know what, I don't know where to start. When I first started doing my show about six years ago, I would have to like think, well, gee, what am I gonna talk about Saturday? Now? I gotta wait till Friday to figure it out, because who the hell knows what's gonna happen. Well, six years ago was the twenty seventeen something like that, Yeah, we're down there. Well, we we had

an actual we had an actual president in the White House. Really in twenty seventeen we did yeah, I know, And Joe's on the beach again this weekend, enjoying a sunny weekend. There was there was kind of a victory for Donald Trump from this judge who took the gag order that they wanted to impose, the blanket gag order said no, you can't do that. So

at least a presidential candidate is allowed to speak in public. But here's the thing about that, And I'm going to talk to Janice Hill of the Epoch Times at ten o'clock about this, I'm gonna ask she's as signed of a Trump campaign. Yeah, the judge kind of split the baby and said Trump can't speak about quote sensitive unquote issues. What does that mean? We'll see. That's think they're going to need some clarity. That's it. What is

sensitive and what isn't. Well, and it may be a contempt trap too, for they want Trump to walk into that judge is no Trump fan. Well, the whole thing is is designed to keep him from campaigning during the primaries at all. The way they've set up the trial dates January the second. I mean commad seven months that it would take you three years to get ready for that thing, No, no doubt, and it should. Yeah, so when he's president and they prosecute him, he can pardon himself.

Mike Allen, Saturday midday Nicole's birthday party today at Huddles. Our friend Nicole is celebrating. We invite you out to celebrate with us.
