Gary Jeff Walker -- 12-23-24

I don't think this is going to work today. It is a Bill Cunningham show. That's his theme, bad to the bone, which he is, of course, But Bill isn't here today. It's two days before Christmas and a day after a special event in my life. Belated birthday party begins now on seven hundred WLW.

And I got older, losing my head many years from now, will he still be sending me follow time birthday greetings, bottle of wine. It let me down till quarter to three? Would you lock the door?

Will you you'll need me? Will you'll feed me?

Now?

I'm sixty four?

Gary Jeb Walker in for Willy on this December twenty third, twenty twenty four. A big show between now and three o'clock will include the music professor Jim Levarbara, who shares that special day with me December twenty second, and along the way, doctor John Hubert, Dave Tech, Guy Hatterer, Rick Robinson, some of my favorites, I mean, my favorite people to talk to on the radio, not named you, because I love talking to you on the radio.

A long way from nineteen sixty.

Here we are, and our first guest on this special belated birthday show is the one and only, well not the one and only, but my favorite.

Hey, well done. It's like Breakfast with the Beatles all over again. Yeah, the Beatle Thing.

Circa two thousand and eight.

Peter Brownson.

Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show and the belated birthday show for Gary, Jeff, Jim, Lebarbara and anybody else who's a winter solstice baby.

It's great to have you in the studio again. Yay, glad to be here with you.

You know, I was listening to that classic when I'm sixty four. You know how you can be absolutely sure that was written by somebody in their twenties, because he says, when I've been out till quarter to three, nobody who's sixty four?

I'm sorry, that's maybe quarter to three in the afternoon. I will listen. I'm late for the Early Bird special. It's two forty five. I'm going to lock the door.

At a quarter to three, locking the door. They're talking about the buffet. Yeah, Malden Crown, make sure lunch ins at two forty five. You better be here beforehand, mister, And you give me this wonderful book Happy from New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller I guess with his wife Kathy.

Yeah, wow, Timothy is he's really Tim Keller is just one of my favorite guys for really great.

It's your wife, Kathy, Yes she is? Yes, yes, all right.

So that's another A year of daily devotions in the in the Book of Proverbs, God's wisdom for navigating life. It's kind of like a little daily devotional, as you were saying, yeah, and I just randomly turned pages, but there's one for every day.

Proverbs are so rich, they're just fantastic and psalms.

But a kind hearted woman gains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth eleven sixteen. Wow, Well I don't have I have not accumulated much wealth, So I guess I'm not that ruthless. I do have a kind hearted woman. But who is here as well? Christ To two point zero is sitting back in the Cincinnati Harambe's chair. She is she is our door person, our door woman. She is going to make sure that there's proper crowd control. And uh, you know that none of the riffrafft come in.

Kind of the van of white sure, the Gary Jeff Walker show.

Well, I mean I've got specially selected riffraff on this show against It's gonna be fun. The phone lines are open. I don't know what you want to talk about, and personally, I don't know. My wife is still very concerned about possibly losing Frish's Tartar sauce. She told me this morning that she's got to go get a big Boy while they're still open. Oh yeah, And I would stock up on the tartar sauce.

I don't know.

Somebody needs to get on that and pick it up as a product, absolutely and make it as like something you can order online with all their other like their pumpkin pie. Sure wouldn't people, or their strawberry pie. Wouldn't that be like just a Frishes catering service. Here's the thing you swing by and pick it up on the holidays.

And they sell frozen white castles in the box. I don't know how good they are. I've always been a little afraid of white castle in general. But a bullet burger. Yeah, but they could sell fishes, big boys and frozen well.

I think they really do well with the pumpkin pie because it freezes pretty well from what I've seen. Yeah, and same with the tartar sauce, wouldn't it. I mean that be a nice frozen product, and the strawberry pie.

So think about it. You become a regular around here. You were on the Stooge Report last Friday.

Yeah, if I hang around here to get accused of loitering, well, no, be careful, they might put you on the payroll.

And you don't want that.

Oh, if you do not want that, because there are certain things that come along with it, certain strings.

Yeah, the ties that bind.

And so I haven't been on anybody's payroll in a very long I was going to say, see, you're not used.

Obligations to come with it are just not my game anymore.

So think about it. Well, we've got these few minutes together here in this half hour. What do you think who do you think was the person of the year? Do you think time finally got it right with Donald Trump being named Man of the Year. If you're going to have an award such as that in the first place.

No doubt, no doubt. Yeah, there's just nothing like this.

What's happened We've I mean I I've lived a little bit longer than you, Gary, Jeff, and in my lifetime, if I think back to all the things that have happened in politics and presidential races, There's never been anything like this. I mean, we can go back to Watergate. I was around for that as in my teens. That was pretty spectacular. But to see this kind of comeback, that was Nixon's big comeback, of course, and then Watery followed.

To try to put him in jail exactly.

And now we're beginning to find out for doing his job and dishonest. Those January six hearings were with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger and all those clowns. They were hiding evidence, shredding papers, destroying videotapes of testimony, unbelievable pollit bureau style star chamber stuff. They use a polite word, you held back, I saw you kind of bite your tongue.

Stuff. No, But.

The other thing and part of this comeback, I mean they they impeached him for actually doing his job.

Yes, for speaking to a foreign leader, uh huh, yeah.

About any corruption that may come in between relations between two countries and the United.

Perfectly reasonable question for a US president when he's dealing with the most corrupt oligarchy on the planet, perhaps next to the sort.

But they wanted to make sure that they got their puppet elected, no matter what they had to do to do it.

Yep, yep. And then you're compare pluding.

Stuffing ballot boxes, including massive voter fraud in twenty twenty, taking advantage of a scared public during the pandemic doing you know, don't let a crisis go to waste, the old rama manual. And they're bringing RAM back because they're in such disarray right now. They may never recover there at this point're in trouble, but they'll bounce back.

You know.

They're like the people, the scary guys in the Halloween movies. They're always popping back up somewhere around in a closet or something, and they'll jump out and try and cause as much chaos again as they can. But what the other reason, just going back to the pick for Man of the Year is the profound change This is already working in our culture, in our entertainment, in our daily life, in our national and international affairs.

Donald John Trump is the president right now, he just does not have the power of the executive order, which he will exercise in full on January twentieth, to negate to reverse all of the terrible policies that were enacted under the Biden administration. And people are just seeing them walk around, just wondering, where's the president, Where's Joe Biden. They could have been asking that question four years ago and been valid in asking that question, because he's never

Yeah?

And I don't know if you saw it, but the Wall Street Journal did a blockbuster investigative story the other day that said, Joe Hiden really wasn't confident as president for the past four years.

And it's like, really, now, you tell us, I mean, we were watching it.

We kind of noticed this if we were watching, And I wrote in the comment section, I said, so what's your next breaking news? Going to Dallas was probably a mistake. For John Kennedy. Really now we can.

Tell you jeez. So if I can ask how old a man are you?

Seventy one and I will be seventy two on January tewod, so you're getting there. I'm also right around Christmas birthday, which is less and less important.

Well, plus and there's a lot less physical exertion once you get into your seventies because you're no longer a sex juagenarian.

I'm not going to touch that one.

No, no, Peter, the book promised land is I guess doing well.

Oh, it's doing great. Yeah, and all the others as well.

The only person I know who actually bought airtime on this station to promote your book. You don't know any other author that I've interviewed who actually buys airtime. Yeah, you know. And when you got all this free airtime, well it works.

It works to get the word out for people and help them understand that there's something new on the market there for Chris Shore.

But also I like to do that because, as you know, but many of your listeners may not.

I'm also a publisher and I do about fifteen titles a year for other authors, So I like to do these advertising kind of test drives so that when my other authors come to me and they say, what can I do to promote my book? I can tell them this works, that doesn't. I can tell you some things really work and some things do not work at all.

Yeah, So Promised Land, how the Midwest was one about? You know, you think you got it tough today with your first world problems. You have no idea what it's like to come into a totally literally foreign land to you, Yes, to start a new life, to make your family a home in this vast wilderness that was the United States in the late seventeen hundreds, early eighteen hundreds, the mid eighteen hundreds. The Miami Valley and the Miami Valley, beautiful

Oh no kidding, The Miami and the shawn and so fearsome.

Even the other Indian tribes would not mess with the Miami and the Shawnee.

And they were they were evil to each other before white men ever got here.

Yes, they had perfected the arts of torture, of brutality. Look at they're a stone age people. They don't have the wheel. I mean, they've mastered fire pretty well, and they're really good at using that to torture people. But you know, for example, it would take hundreds and hundreds of acres to sustain a Shawnee, a small group of Shawnee people, because they would hunt all of the wildlife out of that area. And then that's why they were

But they took.

Thousands of acres to support a Shawnee village, whereas when the first settlers came, ten or fifteen acres could support their family, forty acres could support a whole village, one d two hundred acres could support a town.

It's too late for Christmas shopping on December twenty third, but if you're interested and haven't checked it out yet, Promised Land the latest by Peter Bronson available. You can go to your website, yes and order that as well. Right chilidog press dot com. I had some specials going.

I'm still doing that, so free shipping and up till Christmas we are running two day shipping. But now that's not as important because it's really too late to shoot them for the two day shipping.

Well, you know, and you can buy the book for Peter's birthday, which is January twod probably have it in time for Pete's birthday.

That's right.

Thank you so much for being with me this afternoon and.

My party of the later birthday to you, and Merry Christmas to you and Christa, and hope you guys have a great twenty twenty five. Jim Lebarbara will be here a little bit later on just past one o'clock, and my friend doctor John Hubert, forensic psychologists based out of Austin, Texas, is coming up after the news. A shout out to Nicole at Humberts. You just made our day. We're busting our bud at Humberts and I just heard you on

We'll take a break and come back.

Happy birthday to me seven hundred w l wid.

Happy holiday holiday, Happy holiday, while the merry bells keep ringing Happy holiday.

You know, I don't really mind people saying happy holidays.

Because they want to be inclusive.

I mean, that's fine, and that's very much a Christmas spirit kind of added to.

But I say Merry Christmas. No, it's wide on the ground. What do you say Merry Christmas exactly?

You can speak into the mic, it's the holid Well, no you can't, because she took the mic down, Kenzie. Just for future reference, please keep all microphones up. The entire show great because you never know there's going to

He's a mess.

Doctor John Huber is here as we approach Christmas, and doctor Huber, first and foremost, welcome to my belated birthday party.

How are you?

I am amazing and happy the amazing birthdays to you too, Thank.

You, thank you.

Very much.

Christ is here, She said, I want to hear doctor Hubert. So she slapped on a pair of headphones and.

And said, hello, get afternoon Christ.

All right, So, uh, what's going on? They're around the Hubert Hacienda as we lead up to Christmas Day on Wednesday? Oh well, you know.

The whip crackers got everybody vacuum in and and mowing the lawn and getting everything nice and ready for all the guests that we have coming in the next couple of days. And uh, you know, just just preparing. We decided no turkey or hand we did that for thanks and we were doing faidas for Christmas dinner.

Now what what kind of fidas?

Though?

B bce.

That's all That's all there really is. Everything else is, you know, just a cheap imitation of the original.

Now do you spice him up Texas style? How do you do your fadas?

He definitely marinate with jalapenos and beer.

And uh yeah good.

My wife has rolling her eyes because she can't have anything spicy in her mouth. Uh she'll start coughing like like she's choking.

Literally, No, yeah, I see.

Yeah, I'm not either. But but the thing is, if you do it right. You can actually flavor them with the jlapenos and not add spice to it. So you need to know your audience. And sometimes usually what we do is we make some that are spicy and some that are not spicy. You know, any of the white membrane on the inside of the pepper or the seed, you scrape all of that out.

See I know that, but that's still she she thinks the meat of a jalapeno is too spicy. No, if I ribon seed it, you should be good. Yes, exactly. Uh So, doctor, this is a tough time of year for a lot of people. Maybe somebody who's listening right now, But do you have any recommendations as someone who who practices psychology for people who are struggling with maybe a loss of a family member or perhaps who knows. Corporations really don't care much most of the time about what

Find a word that rhymes with doc, and you you know what I mean.

It's just one of those things that I've had some low points around the holidays, around Christmas before once or twice in my life, but mostly I've been blessed by God with a great family and enough bounty to at least sustain myself and sustain my joy. But what's a recommendation from a doctor John Huber for people who are I mean, are there any are there any quick fixes at all?

Well, one thing I say is do your best to not be alone. I know it's hard sometimes when you're away from family or you know, the bottoms dropped out, but you're not the only one who's going through that. And the fact that you're alive and breathing, you know, I can testify to this gives you an opportunity to make your world a better day tomorrow. Just make everything a little bit better, even if it's just one inch better, that means it was better than the day before, and

Well, you know, ken Brew had a guest on earlier before I came on the air talking about and you mentioned the COVID lockdowns and the mandates and everything else that occurred for a numbingly long time in our country and in our world and in our lives, and how much that isolation hurt, especially kids who need socialization. They need to attend a classroom in person, They need to have interaction with other people, They need to see people's faces, yes,

You, oh, absolutely, And you know it's crazy. You know, we've known for a very long time. We're talking like thousands of years that covering one's face makes you less likely to stand up for yourself and significantly less likely to stand up and help or protect other people. So putting on this mask that Fauchi's own research from two thousand and four showed that it's ineffective at stopping the virus pandemic or any type of a pandemic like that.

The other thing I want to.

Tell you to do is get outside. Sunlight is an amazing anti viral. So get get outside. Plus it's also an amazing antidepressant. When sunlight hits your skin, your body, you know, starts making vitamin D and the byproducts that your body makes vitamin D out of will go into the blood brain barrier into your brain, and your brain then can make those neurotransmitters like dopamine, nor upenephrin serotonin and balance out your normal hormonal and neural transmit mission.

Yeah, during during the lockdowns, when the governor of Kentucky where we live, Andy Basheer, was telling people if they attended a church service that was open, they they might and they actually sent agents to church parking lots to get license plate numbers of people so they could track and trace them who had been disobeying the governor's directive

Oh absolutely absolutely, And it was a big social experiment experiment. I mean, they were able to control and shut down close to one hundred and eighty countries and nobody raised the gun, nobody pointed a barrel at anybody. They just hey, it's a pandemic. Listen to me. I know better than you.

Yeah.

Well, and they admitted that the six foot rule was just something they made up.

They were just, well, what should we call it? Twelve feet?

No, that's that's that's no, that's too much, six feet. Yeah, let's go with six feet. And there was no scientific basis for any of it. And they have admitted that, Yeah, what else will they ever admit?

Doctor? That's the other thing.

Is, well, let's see, the six foot rule is something they did at during the Spanish fluid epidemics that happened in nineteen hundred early early nineteen hundred.

Yea, it was like nineteen seventeen, wasn't it something?

Yeah, something like that, And it's kind of crazy we go back to there and just because they did it then it's like, wellsbout you when they hadn't did it again. It's like n because he even said on his way out that he just kind of pulled that out of the air somewhere. And there's the history lesson is where he pulled it out of what eventually stopped. Believe it or not, the Spanish flop pandemic is when they finally told everybody to forget it, just get outside. Everybody go outside.

What I was saying, doctor, is that during these lockdowns when we weren't supposed and they closed businesses and the whole thing and the economy collapsed and people were you know, driven to suicide in many sad, terrible cases. My wife and my wife and I purposely we called it asphalt therapy. We would get outside, we'd go for a ride in the car. We go fifty sixty miles. We'd interact with anybody we saw. We purposely broke their non laws just for our own sanity. I called it asphalt therapy, and

It is amazing how that can do it. You know, getting outside, getting away. You know, if you start feeling better and your attitude gets picked up and you start having a positive attitude because you feel better and not feeling depressed, it actually boost your immune system. You know, this time of year, you know, we're not having a big, you know, pandemic thing we do have. Like here we're getting ourselves beat up overseat fever here in Central Texas.

Nobody ever saying I'm dreaming of a yellow Christmas. Sound like Snoopy got busy in the snow or something. And by the way, watch out, watch out where the huskies go. Don't you eat that yellow snow? That's what I'm saying.

Absolutely.

Uh, Well, Doc, I treasure you as a friend and as a guest. Do you have any advice for people going into the new year?

Don't make resolutions there? They're a way to beat yourself up because the whole you know, doing that kind of a resolution, uh, is kind of a setup for yourself because we tend to pick huge, huge goals and we never meet them, and then again we beat ourselves up and we start spiraling down that I'm worthless kind of mentality. And what you need to do is make a plan to make small changes. And if you make one little change every day for a year, by the end of the year, you'll be a different person.

It's that's excellent advice. One little change a day. And now I got to I got to remember to remember that every day now, which will probably keep my mind active and will benefit me positively in that way. Well and may or maybe I'm just talking, maybe I'm just making stuff up.

What Yeah, after talking with Chris, I would say, you know, if you would just say one nice thing a day, it would change you one hundred percent. By the end of the.

Year, you're not allowed to provide your own rim shot. Oh that's great. Well listen. Merry Christmas to you and happy New Year.

Doctor.

I know we will be in communicado very very soon again, as we usually are. And uh, my wife really appreciates the memes and the really bizarre things you send her via face about. I know, I know, and I'm not going to go through it right now. It wouldn't be appropriate, uh doctor, And Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, doctor John Huber, who is currently coughing, and.

Uh, yes, I'm sorry.

And you were, as always amazing. Thank you for being a part of the Bladed Birthday show.

Doc, Thank you, my friend, have an amazing holiday. I'll talk to you soon.

All right, Doctor Hubert there and coming into the studio moments ago. The other birthday boy, Jim Lebarbara, how are you, my friend?

Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. Yeah, good, really good, feel good today.

So we're gonna we're gonna in the next hour, you and I are going to spend some time talking about that. Our friend Dave, Dave Hatter is coming up right after the news here in a few months. I thought it was terrific. Oh, Peter, I'm listening. Does he write like a book a week?

Then?

Really?

And then they looked at he's got chilli, he's got his own press. He's been very prolific late. And what happened to inquire He leaves in selling. It's a whole different direction.

I think.

I think the Inquirer's problem is way bigger than just the lack of Peter Bronson. But you're right, it didn't It didn't help at all. All right, More with Jim Lebarba, the Music Professor, Dave Hatter and the belated Birthday Show on the Bill Cunningham Show continues Gary Jeffan for Willie and It's our birthday.

When do you like to listen to Scott's Sloan?

I love to listen to Sloaney when I'm at my cubicle because I couldn't care less about my job if I see someone smiling at work, I instantly know they're listening to Sloaney as everyone else looks like they're on prison work details.

I listened to Sloney when I was in prison.

Did you really a bunch of us would drink the hoochs we made in our toilets and have a slony party?

Sloney and toilet booze might be fun. Scott's loan Clony Yes, toilet drinks.

No Tomorrow morning at nine on seven hundred WLW, and check out his podcast on the three iHeartRadio ad Well, when you're.

Standing in the shower but the water won't get hot, and well, a water heater problem is what you've got.

We can fix that.

Twenty third, twenty twenty four The Bill Cunningham Show, which today is being pre emptied for the belated Birthday Show Gary, Jeff Walker, Jim Lebarbara celebrating our birthdays yesterday and again today because we just can't get.

It up and got the losing my head only in.

Your case Jim, it would be when I'm eighty three.

I was thinking, are we born on the scene? We're born on the same day? Was it the same year you and I have were in the same year too, is that? No, Oh, not exactly you wish.

So you're born in December twenty second, nineteen forty one, that's right, Yeah, just fifteen days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. And my dad went out that day and bought me a Lineell electric train. I still have it. That same day. But I was born when happened bought his son of electric train. I still have that train. So that is so cool.

That was cool. That's great. You know, I was thinking back on birthday gifts that I remember the birthday gifts, and you know what, I don't remember, and I don't remember it. Did it ever happen to you? I don't remember ever in school, all through school, they never sang Happy Birthday to me because we were always on Christmas.

Break well, hold hold on just a second. Never happened.

Somebody may want to sing Happy birthday, Dave had or please stand by just for a moment. It's Mametry, who's a regular caller on this Saturday morning edition, who was called in today and real quickly, Mametree, this is your moment in the spotlight. Give us what you got.

Baby ady, birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday professor and Gary Jeff.

And I.

Thank you very nice.

The lovely lady Lynnette also known as Mamme Tree from Florence Park here.

Now, uh, what what's Christmas going to be like? At at uh at the place? Mamme Tree?

Right, I thought, say, cause brought me and I got some new.

Hair today, new hair.

And it was my secret Sannah and they're my age. And the other age said, did you get your hair? Oh, you're wearing it. I said, yeah, I guess Santa brought it because I thought, Christine, you know one give me my wheelchair for my birthday. She said I have been over there. I said, okay, must be my secret ten and it was. And I said to this lady that told me, I said, you know I have a white boyfriend. She said, I'm sawing child.

He's a hunk.

Said oh, I those a little breath hair bat white man.

Well, he's signing blonde and brown hair and he's a hunk. Out do I have to sign autographs?

I appreciate it so much. You both by buying I love you too, all right?

Uh?

Dave had or how in the world do you follow that?

Oh? You literally took the words right out of my mouth. Skairs chest. I'm like, really, you're gonna put me on after that? Come on, that's malurkey, my god. But a happy birthday to you, I mean, two radio legends.

Well, it's just amazing. I was talking with somebody else about this. What's amazing is we're born nineteen years apart

Go ahead, you know.

For I was just going to say, for a Cincinnati area native like me, I mean, you guys are birth legends. I listened to a lot of talk radio. I think that's pretty cool. And again, happy birthday to both of you.

Well, thank you very much.

As we are approaching Christmas, you sent me something at Gary Jeff Walker at seven hundred WLW dot com about well, it was about scams and especially around this time of year. The twelve cyber Scams of Christmas twenty twenty four a holiday cyber survival guide.

Can you give me some of those days? Well, carry Jeff.

You know, sadly it's hard to get it down to twelve. But I put this article together hopefully. I was probably a little late to the game. I should have got it out earlier, but you know, hopefully for those folks that are out there doing some last minute shopping, maybe it'll do some good. And you know, the intent before I dive into some of these is really just to help raise awareness, because the best offense you as an individual have against most of the scams that are prevalent

A healthy amount of skepticism should be exercised at all times when you're dealing with somebody online, especially if you don't know who they are really, and the only way and the only way to know who they are really is maybe to go to the actual site yourself. If they're spoofing a site, go to the actual site and see what they say and see what is on the

Yeah, you're exactly right there, Jess. And these scams won't all year around, but they become extremely prevalent between Thanksgiving and Christmas because they then more people are shopping online. You have these days like Cyber Monday and Black Friday where you're going to have an enormous amount of online shopping. Some recent stats I saw and they're they're in a different, actually different article I wrote about Tamu and why you should not be using these Chinese shopping sites. We can

But you know, let's not do that right before Christmas, your head.

I keep my Gary Jeff Walker authorized duct tape nearby just in case my head explodes while listening to the radio. Yeah, but on on that front, On that front, you know, they know people are doing more shopping than ever. Again, any objective measure shows you that, and they know again it's it's really easy to send a text that looks like it came from any phone number. It's really easy to send an email that looks like it came from

Now, Dave Patter, you said, unless you're a nerd like me, do even nerds like you have a possibility of being scammed.

Well, absolutely, Gary Jeff, because you know, sometimes you get in a hurry, sometimes they do catch off guard. One of the favorites, you know, I do a lot of public speaking on these topics, and one of my favorite things to show, as you know, Gary jeffs on my spare time, I'm the mayor of Fort Wright and begetting enormous amount of spam and so forth there. And one of these funny emails I got was supposedly from a

And you've told me many many times, if at all possible, stay as far away as possible from Google and anything Google related.

I am not a Google, and I would encourage people to find other more privacy and suddenly oriented products, platforms, service.

I've got a Safari on my iPhone.

Safari okay, yeah, that's Apple's native browser. And Apple while every one of these big tech companies hance their problems scary Jet, none of them are without sin. It's just a question of which one is or which ones are the most privacy and security friendly. And when you look at the big players out there, you've got to understand companies like.

Google or their parents' company, Alphabet, you are not the customer, You are their product.

Right.

The whole model of surveillance capitalism is based on collecting and monetizing your data. There's very few things they can actually sell you, right versus Apple or Microsoft. Now I'm not saying they don't collect your data, but that's not the fundamental part of the business model. Right. Apple is selling your hardware and software. Microsoft is selling you software, so they generally tend to be more privacy and security friendly because they're in sin are different. Does that makes sense?

It makes perfect sense.

They've they've got a business model that is not based on just feeding off of you. Dave Hatter, I wish you a very blessed merry Christmas, you and your family, and thank you so much for being a part of our belated birthday party.

Jim, you had one question, and I'll get the answer from Dave.

I have Google, and all of a sudden, like four or five months ago, I have all these things come on from security, things that I need to upgrade my security, and all of a sudden, all these things are on my on my computer screen and I can't get you. I slide them off, they can write back on and it's all from some security system. You're you're you're being hacked.

Real quick sary.

Jeff gives him my contact information. We haven't contact me off Wine we'll talk about it.

I will absolutely Dave had her with us on seven hundred W l W.

It's the most wonderful time of the year now through December twenty fifth.

Jeff Ruby, It's.

You were of telling me this past Saturday morning about this song. We had it featured on our Rock and Roll Archaeology segment, and how did it come to be?

Well, nineteen sixties when it came out, but you know a lot of radio stations didn't play this, uh for whatever reason, maybe because the Italian language in the song, so it kind of just sat around and then and then later started being played on radio stations. Monty Lou Monty had a penis.

A few Italians didn't have Potty Mouse. It wouldn't have been an issue.

Well, that's the thing they didn't understand.

You know.

The tella is a dance, littellantella and Nicole is saying Nick and Paisan is your your neighbor, your your friend? Yeah, and the cure is the little donkey, the little ass. So that's you know, and that's what the song's about. This and it's kind of confusing because he's in Brooklyn. He's making all the toys in Brooklyn. And then the reindeer you would.

Did you just say that lou Monty is singing about a little ass for Chris, a little donkey, a little donkey, okay, and it's in the.

Yeah, right, and the deer would fly, but for some reason they couldn't get.

Up the hills of Italy.

So you needed the I don't know.

We have a we have a special guest in studio and Kenzie, all Mike's up, please, all Mike's.

Up, including that one. All right.

This is a gentleman who has been I don't know how many years he's been doing it. We'll find that out in just a moment. But he's called mister Birthday Tuba. Mister Birthday Tuba's mission in life is calling apparently from God Almighty is to call people on their birthdays and play Happy Birthday on his tuba. And today, mister Birthday Tuba also known as j C. Hartsja, Yes, is going to grace us Jim with a rendition here live in the studio on the blated birthday party for Gary, Jeff

M h uh uh uh h.

M hmmm.

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uhm m.

H m hm h Yeah, well boo boo, that's exceptional. That is exceptional. And have you do it live? Is even better? Now if you can maybe this is going to sound awful. Maybe Christa or I can hold your horn and you can screwed up to the mic a little bit more and just set your set your piece down there, JC, all right and into the microphone. How long have you been playing the tube of JC? That's quite interesting.

I trained as a trumpet player and still do that, And that goes back to June of nineteen sixty two.

Oh very long time. I was a year and a half old, Yes.

And.

Somehow I sort of slithered into doubling on low brass.

Well, low brass is better than no brass at all. I've always say, very good line, Gary, Jeff. And I've been doing the birthday tuba since at least two thousand and seven, and it's at approximately four hundred tuba ings per year.

Tuba ings is at the actual official term. That's the term that I have invented.

And since I'm the birthday Tube, I can invent the terms gramerion something like that, or like me a cunning linguist.

Oh by it? Okay? Yeah, so you you play tuba, you still play trumpet? Right? Still play trumpet? What else do you play? Okay?

And this is a meaningless statistic, but I think I have played more notes on bass trumpet than anyone else in Cincinnati. Really it's a it's an obscure instrument anyway, but it does what a trombone will do, but it's physically compact.

Now, do you also play a trombone? Have you ever played a trombone?

And I have not recently?

What about a flugelhorn? I play that a lot, awful lot.

Right, yes, So what's your What you're saying, in essence, is even a man of a certain age you can still be a very horny fellow.

Oh by it?

Okay, okay, well I liked about that. It wasn't just a happy birth, it was a virtue also.

Oh no, a special arrangement courtesy.

And then when I'm sixty four, very good also in the studio for this half art no Stooge Report. But you know what, just for the sake of all of you who've listened to the Stuge Report all these years and thought you were going to get a chance to say it, I was astonished today and kind of heartbroken when I found out when I walked in the studio that Seg wasn't here. I'd planned the show completely around also doing stooge reports, and now no Seg, no Stuge Report.

That's right.

Quality. You can feel the stud Huge Reports. Uh so I've got these these guests in here. We have Paul Pisqually. Hello, Paul, Hi, Gary Jeff, and your brothers Rick and Ron Pisqually.

I grew up in excuse Brentwood very young, and then slow Township McKee's Rock seven miles west of Pittsburgh.

So what was it like growing up in the U.

I guess fifties, since you you know, you came into puberty in the fifties.

And I was wonderful, wonderful. Holiday season was special because no, we had no television. There was no television. We all go to Grandma's house and we all sang. Our entertainment was around the piano and my grandpa played the mandolin, and I had a little mandolin that he gave me and which drama and play. And my cousin Joe would be home from college and he'd have a tuxedo on and he'd played the violin. And my aunt Dora was a classical piano player. She'd played the piano.

Was just like a movie. And then it was like crazy.

We had the seven course Italian dinner, which was absolutely magnificent. So that went on during the day.

Seven course Italian dinner.

Had the fish and the meat too. You had the fish and meat and of course the pasta of the pasta and then red wine. We had red wine when I was a kid.

But what were the other courses besides you had.

A salad everything, you know, the salad and the pasta, all the stuff just met up to the meat and then the you know, the fish to the fish. And then Grandpa would be at the head of the table and the youngest would be the person who would hand at The youngest child would hang on. They hand out the gifts, and Grandpa's gift was always wrapped with newspaper and uh and a rope, so we knew it was

You know, there's nothing better for Christmas than sensible underwear.

And Grandpa will always shake hands with you. My grandpa shake hands with you, and you get a silver dollar, silver dollar, and think about them all the time, silver dollar, and you know, you'd get back and he would catch on the third time, you know, and give you a quarter. But that was great. That was a wonderful time. And then as I got older, my dad worked for Harris Brother's floor So starting on my birthday, you know, i'd help my dad out when I was like twelve years

By the way, I want to do a shout out to Tony Rosiello, who is our friend from Frittita.

For telling you need it Italian brothers.

And I missed the breakfast last Friday. I wasn't feeling good. I know, Marty was there and who else Jansen? Denny Jansen was a keynote speaker. It was terrific. Buddy lo Rose is still there.

I sat next to Mark and Mike Michaelrose, and Mark was there and Buddy was there. And then there was a guy forgetting his name. He's ninety eight years old and Buddy's ninety five. And somebody said let's do this Senior Olympics and had the two because they boxed together when they were younger. They boxed together, and they said, let's have a Senior Olympics and get you guys together. We'll charge money and go go to charity.

Well that's kind of tough.

You know, they're still in obviously decent shape to be that age. Unbelievable, this guy, but but you know, past ninety, past ninety, you can break a hip just getting out of your chair.

He watched. I was sitting next to Marty Brennan and I said, watch this guy. I said, when he comes in. You got to see him as he walked straight, doesn't hence over Just incredible, absolutely incredible. Yeah, Buddy, buddies, he probably could ride a bike too. Buddy's very impressive. You watch you watch him. He's got like twenty pounds of gold hangings. Yeah, he's got that gold hanging.

We nobody I've got ance, Jim, since you brought out the Italian and the wine. Uh our mom and dad Italian also, and that we we grew up, they had a glass of wine every night. Yep, the Paisano and uh their entire life, our entire life. And uh so Ron and I had to we had a surgical thing done and we were like in the second grade.

Since one of us had to do it, the other one did too.

And and uh so in the hospital they asked us what we wanted to drink, and we said all wine.

And uh so.

When mom and that came in, they said, hey, your kids want wine and you know, eight years old and they go, oh, we drink wine every night, but we give them grape juice. And so you thought we thought we were drinking wine, you know, as we were growing up.

And that was the first time that you met the people from child Services.

Well, you gotta get you guys to for Telly. You've never been to the Fertelli. Yeah they are Italian. Okay, you've been for Tellian. You've never been there. We're gonna get you guys.

Hell Now, now the guy from Pearl Jam who you can't understand the word he sings. Okay, this is one. This is one that's going to test your musical abilities. Tim Harden.

And from Louisville the Golden Boy

I love people who aren't from this part of the country.

Only louis Vale, Louisville, Lewisville, Louisville.

No, it's Lobville Louisville. That's that's the you know, the joke to play on.

Everybody's pronounced the capital of Kentucky Louisville or Louisville, Frankfurt. There you go anyway. So the thing about Louivillians is that there are some parts of people who've lived in that city all their life, and it's almost one syllable when they said, oh yeah, Loo Yeah, that's what I when when there are people that come to town from from out of town, that's exactly what I tell them. Pronounce it as if you were saying one syllable.

No, no doubt about it.

We mentioned hockey and the player's birthday from the Washington Capitals Ken Carly, how are you, my friend?

I am marvelous.

Thank you.

It's also my nephew's sixtieth birthday today. Oh really, young Piker. Yeah, he I was ten.

I was when he was born, So all right, been around a while.

Yeah, no doubt about it. Will happy days to him as well. H you do work with the Cincinnati Cyclones.

I actually work for the league. We get paid by the Cyclones, but we worked for the league. We're what they call off ice officials. So we we do the stats, we do the penalty box, we do the gold judges, run the clock, things like that.

This is a big money position with the EHL.

Right, it used to be a volunteer position until somebody got struck in the eye up and I think it was Fort Wayne or something, and then they decided when that guy sued the league, they decided they better make us all employees so they'd have workmen's comp then. So, but yeah, we're technically employees of the league.

Now, yeah, I wouldn't claim to be employees of the Cyclone side. Well, so how far do you go back on that? Do you go back to the Stingers days or are you do you just just cyclones?

Just the Cyclones actually got involved with them when they moved from the gardens downtown. I grew up and didn't grow up on the east side of town, but we moved to the east side of town and that was when it was closer to go to the game. Just down what was you know, Riverfront Coliseum, the Crown, what else has it been? First Star Center?

Yeah, all of that. Yeah.

You know, people people sometimes forget some of the great players that played on those old Cyclones teams.

Bring it up.

I mean he was he actually won a Stanley Cup first year in his in the league when he was a rookie.

With and our gardener was there, Uh a lot of guys.

Yeah, they were.

When they had the i h L, they were more of a league where the the players that were in the NHL came down and played for the Cyclones for.

A while just to rehab or to their career.

Yeah, it was when it was the International and now it's more up and coming players. Yeah, it's that are aspiring to be in the big time. What the what it is is the Double A Hockey League. Okay, so there's a there's one step above up to the majors. Completely off topic, my friend shar confirmed what we'd already found out. It looks like fishes, don't it doesn't own the tartar sauce recipe. It sounds like food Specialties will continue to make it. It will be a merry Christmas

If you're a TV buff, there was an episode of Murphy Brown a long time ago where they actually went and stole a.

Big boy type.

Yeah, we'll see big boys all over the country. They were I don't know what they were. They were Bob's big boy in California.

Was in the South.

In Tennessee when I was growing up there, and they are no more either, the Shawnees and a lot of those.

They're still show neees, but they're not the big boy type. I think they're independent how well.

And I know that they took the Shonees down in my hometown a long long time ago. But yeah, they tore down the show neees and they put up a parking lot. Don't it always seem to go You don't know what you got till it's go on. Rick, So you were commenting on the news the report on Matt

You know.

I mean it's not like it hasn't happened to presidents before. I mean, look at John Tower when John Tower was nominated to be to be the Secretary of Defense and turns out he just really really enjoyed drinking and lumonizing, and that would be the time for the tuba by the way. So you know, I mean there's a you know, if you do this stuff without doing a full vetting first, you're going to end up with some Matt Gates on

That's a town of freaks. And I tell you what.

And the longer they are there as elected officials, the freakier they get. I can't wait for Jeffrey Epstein's files to come out and we find out about who all went to the island and who flew on the Lolita Express. I took a boat over. I wasn't on the plane. Rick Robinson, the way that we came to actually connect was he published this book nineteen sixty eight, and we scheduled for an interview for that, and I just founded a fascinating book, and we found out that we had

What was America doing this day? December? This day, second, this.

Day, eighteen sixty eight, Tell me this day in nineteen sixty eight. The year of nineteen sixty eight was saved by Apollo eight astronauts as they circled the moon, sent back pictures and forever made Madeline Murial Hare pissed off because they read from the Book of Genesis on Christmas Eve as they circled the earth with a full Earth in the background. I think Madeline Murio Hare got her due anymore?

Oh she did. She ended up suing over it.

Well, no, I mean because he took a Bible on board, ultimately got her due and she found out that she was wrong all those years. We'll break for news and come back with more on the belated Birthday show on The Bill Cunningham Show on seven hundred w LW.

It's never changed. And that's a nice establishment.

The Pasqually brothers have nothing to do with the restaurant. They're not part of the families that did the Pasqually from Pasqually's Pizza was a was a first name, Theresqually's last name.

I was one of the outsiders along with Dan Saint Charles, and we were in charge of handing out name tags when the when they came in and all the the limos and this the secret guys that were with them for this bodyguards. But what was funny about the whole thing is when you hand out these name tags it

You're you're waiting for like Joe Pesci or or what's his name, Rayleiota to come in at any moment and start shooting the.

Place that was.

I think there was a lot of guys that looked like Joe Pesci who came in there.

To be quite honest with you, well, we can't hide our jeans.

We can lot take time about one hundred and twenty five to one hundred and fifty, I would, he had to guess.

And it was a super time.

Tony Rosiello and Joe Cita a couple more tally on those They put on a heck of a show. You've been to it many times and we did miss you.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there last Friday, but listen, happy belated birthday, Jimmy.

Thanks for calling.

It's always good to talk to you, and we will we will speak again, all right.

Uh.

Next up on the list is a guy I talked to quite often on my night show whenever that airs the Nightcap and we we do sport for the out of Sorts along with his good buddy Andy Furman. But today we've got the wild Man, wild Man Walker. Good afternoon, and welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show on seven hundred WLW.

Well, good afternoon.

That happy belated birthday, Gary, Jeff and belated birthday. Be still there, Jim Barbara.

Oh, absolutely, And the prof was here a little bit earlier. He had to go and do some radio because well, what he's eighty three and he told radio.

What Yeah, but what what is the secret for him?

I mean, that guy is so spry, he's got you know, he's still got it upstairs. What's the secret that he's been able to be like eighty three and he's like thirty eight.

I give all the credit to his bride, Sally's that's where, Yeah, I'm just going to give the woman the credit because they they'll take the credit regardless. My wife is here and she's the only reason that I'm still here. So I'm going to give the credit where credit is due to our respective wife. Sally and Chris to two point all right, and I'm surprised you're still here because you don't have a great woman like that.

Uh.

No, I don't have one right now, and I'm sorry. I don't need one, and I don't need one right now. Well, somebody sent me this wild man. Uh the perks of being over sixty and heading towards seventy and beyond. I'm going to read a couple of these if you don't mind. All right, kidnappers are not very interested in you. Correct in a hostage situation, you're likely to be released first.

No, this is probably true. No one expects you to run anywhere, and I know that's true for you.

Oh that's one.

Yeah.

People call it nine pm or nine am and ask did I wake you? Because it's always a possibility.

Well nine am, don't call nine pm.

I'm up.

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. They know you're telling the truth. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. You've already done all that heavy lifting. Oh, been there, done that?

So have you?

Yepin things that you buy now will never wear out Here to that point, this is the last one of these I'm ever gonna have to buy. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

Yeah, that's true. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

And here's one you can live without sex, but not your glasses. Well I don't wear glasses. Well obviously the other is not a problem. So you know, you're always out there swinging. So talk to me real quick about Bengals Browns yesterday and where we go from here, wild Man.

Well, it was a nice win by the Bengals. They had to win that game. The defense, you know, made.

A big play there in the first quarter. That brother was almost like a fourteen point swing. Bob Bell punching out the ball, Benal's recovering and going down the field, and after the guy ruined sixty six yards from scrimmage on the first play of the game.

You had to do something at that point. Well, they had to and that was that was huge.

That was really huge.

It's a fourteen point swing right there, and then he went down and scored.

Joe Barrow had another good day.

Uh, Jamar Jamar Chase is going to probably win that triple crowd of receiving the defense. Like I said, they had what three I think three picks yesterday or is it two pick two picks or maybe I mean it was two or three, doesn't matter. But they beat the Browns. They won two games in the division, but they have yet to beat a team with the winning record. And here comes on Saturday, the Denver Broncos. It's the last game of.

The year period.

If the Bengals make the playoffs, they're not playing any home games.

It'll be on the road.

This is the last game.

The plays is going to be going crazy, and the Bengals with a chance still as slim as it is because the needle didn't move much yesterday because the Colts won and so the the Dolphins. And you know what the scenario is, the Bengals beat the Browns. I mean, the Bengals beat the Broncos. And if that's going to beat the Steelers, well we'll worry about that later.

But let's say they win.

They're next to They've got the hope that the Colts of the Dolphins lose a game and the Broncos lose out, which they could because they're gonna play the Chiefs. But the Colts, Gary, Jeff, the Colts are going to play. Listen to this now that this is sad. They're going to play the Jags and that and the uh let's see, what are the giants down here? The Giant Yeah yeah, good luck and the Giants.

Good luck, Bengles, good luck to two.

Lousy teams, and then the and then the Dolphins are going to put the Browns yet, I mean.

Well, Aaron Rodgers has made a resurgence.

You never know, you never know.

I just don't, like I said, the needles didn't move yesterday much at all. It's still slim and none, and I think Slim has left town. But it would be great for the Bengals to finish the season at home, beat and a team with the winning record, and Denver can be beat. I'm sure Zach Taylor watched that game last week when the Chargers I played the Broncos.

We'll see, we'll see.

We'll see.

On that, wild man, I have a guest in here who says you made his son's day at certain point in the past. Rick, what's the story. Oh, it was a good I am sure, wild man. You will not remember this, but it was in the old days down at Riverfront Stadium, when when when Queen Marge used to sit down in her chair, I go down there with my son to watch a game. He has a baseball. He wants to make sure it's autographed by somebody. He tries to go down and get marched to sign it,

Uh.

He even now has his own kids.

He talked about going to that ball game and uh, wild Man Walker signing the baseball for him.

Oh.

I was always willing to sign anything for kids, and especially March's turned him down or got chased off by one of that Gestapo security.

Yeah, it's chased off by the Gestapo.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Does he still have the baseball?

That's a good question. That's a good question. I'm gonna have to dig through his next time I go over. He should still have it. You know in his possession, you would think wild man, any anything that you would like to say about Christmas or my birthday or anything else on your mind, anything else on your mind.

Well, I mean, I thought you were going to ask me maybe about the college football playoff games, and you know all of them really were routes. I'm sure up in Columbus the monkey is off the back of right now Ryan Dave where everybody was, you know, saying that he was going to be be fired, that he didn't win this game.

Ryan Day is going nowhere.

Well, Ryan Day is going to stay at Ohio State. I do have a major case of the goo about how the game ended the other night with the Xavier, with Xavier and Marquette, when that was a deliberate tripping foul and the referee was following the play and he didn't have the guts to call a foul which would have been a two shot foul to force the game in the overtime.

It was blatant.

It was a blatant tripping penalty, and of course Sean Miller doesn't come out and bitch about it, none of the players come out and bitch about it. I'm sick and tired of the officials screwing Cincinnati teams.

I mean, we constantly get it it. We get it screwed by the and then in the NFL we get screwed in college basketball. If you watch that game, that guy stuck his foot out and deliberately tripped up that kid.

Well, Mike Tomlin's still coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's a respected coach. And he tripped a player from the other team on this when he was running down the sideline.

You know, yes he did, Yes he did.

I mean Woody Hayes gets in trouble for one punch, and you know, Mike Tomlin is allowed. Mike Tomlin's allowed to trip players on the other team when they're racing towards a touchdown.

I mean, I don't care. Once once a cheater, all was a cheater.

They are the they are the Pittsburgh cheaters, and they will get their come up and they will not win a Super Bowl this year.

I am standing on that ground firmly right now, Mike.

Kansas City Chiefs just continue to win regardless of the situation. And they got a twelfth man on the field wearing stripes, for God's sake, they got their first holding penalty and the whole season.

Three three pete three peas City Chief's gonna gonna lay down when they play their last game, or they're gonna go out and you know, give a full effort.

And let's say the Bengals chances need a live or the Chiefs to beat the Broncos. Well, you know, the Chiefs is gonna play hard, They're gonna lay down. The Chiefs are my team.
