That's why sound progy. I lost it that bad A blink of an eye then that voice is gone.

So what's been going on?

Well?

I got this walking marathon one legged woman, shad, I have a bad as old people say, a bad left leg. I'm laying am I main leg that I can? You know I'm getting a wheelchair. You put all the weight on it and bend it and flopped in the chair. Well, I can't do that now because I'm kept knocking my walker into my leg and now sore, and I got the needles in it and I felt the two knots some of the first two walkers. But I'm doing better. I did one hundred and seventy three feet yesterday, walked

I've only ever seen you in a wheelchair, so I would love to see you out walking.

Well, I don't walk aus I can't read. How do I walk in an elevator shaft or out next the door?

No, that's first time I've ever heard somebody say I don't walk.

Because I can't read.

Yeah, as a troop cru f.

True.

Oh cat.

Uh. The wife is is okay, she's recovering. She bruised her tailbone falling in the snow about two weeks ago, and the cat dog is at home right now taking care of her, making sure she has everything she needs.

You know, doctor Jender Snaps comes to the rescue.

Well, I'll suggest that listen, I gotta go, mammetry love you.

That'd be two bye bye, all right, thank you.

Five point fifty three. It's seven hunter WLW for some picking and some granted, and mostly some picking.

This morning, Good morning, Dick, Good morning, good Yip.

Are you I'm doing great? Day from Dayton. Our friend, our mutual buddy, has got to know what you think about wild card weekend in the NFL. He says, it's the best NFL weekend of the year. The divisional playoffs. We need a four pack of Dick picks. First Texans playing at the Chiefs, Dick, what do you think I think?

Kansas City thirty one. Let's see who was the who were they playing?

Now?

Good?

The Texans thirty.

One to seventeen. Okay to Kansas City.

Commanders at the Lions Washington at Detroit.

What do you think, Dick, Washington Detroit twenty seven, Washington ten.

Excellent? You think the Commanders are even going to score ten?

Huh?

All right?

Yeah?

Rams at the Eagles.

Eagles twenty six, Rams ten.

Okay, so not a close game.

And close and the battle of the MV Most Valuable Player quarterbacks Baltimore and Buffalo.

The Ravens play at the Bills.

I'll take the Bills thirty one twenty eight.

So home teams win all the games. Yes, and I like that you made that one a close one because I think it will be.

Yeah, all right, So what.

Else is going on?

Oh?

Not much. I've got some of my friends, you know, we haven't had much going on, you know, with all this now, and got my car fixed. But things are looking up for me. A couple of my friends are going to come over and help me. I'll get back to my places again. So everybody was concerned. That was very nice. So I'll get back to playing here when the weather gets better.

Yeah, we need a full schedule of that. Those concerts when you get a Dick listen, yep. We got to go though, unfortunately, so would you do me a favor? What would you say? Good night Dick?

Good night Gary, Ye have a good week.

Thank you brother. Talk to writer. Yeah, that's a Dick Dick from Dayton and the Dick Picks. Just in case you're ready to run to the sportsbook and or hop on your phone, you have the final scores of the divisional playoffs. Now more ahead, because well, I want to stay till nine and get paid seven hundred WLW. So we celebrate the first day back in the studio for Pink Floyd as they were recording Dark Side of the

Indeed, I'm turning fourteen because I only celebrate on an inauguration date.

Good for you.

It's not working for me at all.

Well, I mean, in your mind.

It's right Dark Side of the Moon. He left out the part with the this is My history ending up in someone's frat house with a bunch of the tight T shirts and the black light velvet posters and all the baked frat boys that were trying to get the Dark Side of the Moon SYNCD up with the Wizard of Oz to try to prove that little urban myth.

Oh yeah, well, supposedly when the chimes go off on time, that's you start the album right there? When she lands in munchkin Land? Is that the deal? And then it sinks up.

Supposedly they were doing something about the MGM lion roar at the beginning versus starting the album. It never worked. I say that there weren't enough brain cells in the room to figure it out either.

Maybe you weren't enhanced enough to hear it properly.

I wasn't enhanced at all or was I impressed? Goodness, Yeah, I was one of those kids. They halfway into it, they figured out I must be the nark because I wasn't partaking.

Oh jeez, you never told me about your undercover days as a narcotic s.

Well, usually somebody came to my defense by saying, you really want to see him enhanced?

What how are we listening today? And what on and all of that stuff.

Rick, I don't do this often, but this is one of the handful of exceptions. You're coming in five y five big shout out to Jim. This is a nineteen eighty two General Electric super radio, their model seven eighty five be as and boy, I don't often work on transistor sets or anything that's this particularly new, but the GE super radios are one of those exceptions because they are incredible. They have a moultiple RS and I have

It is.

It is wonderful and thanks to the internal oversized AM antenna, although it's directional as you have to turn the radio, it does it's well. Words. I don't have words, and yet I keep talking.

It happens quite often to me. I understand.

So now, Rick, here's here's the The question I have is can you get them?

Are they very rare? And are they very expensive? If you can find one?

When they sold new, they sold for Sony nine ninety five, which is no, I don't know about two hundred and fifty dollars today and you can still get them for between fifty and three hundred dollars. It all makes difference on the condition. And eBay is the greatest place to get them. And that's what this was. I helped this individual pick out several on eBay that I would recommend, and then they shipped to me and I did some

There you go.

Two is hands down the greatest one. The first one and the second one are very similar, but the first one only had one speaker, so there is a difference in sound. And the third one isn't the bad radio, but it's a completely different design and it lost some losso performance and it was also cheaper. Gee tried to kind of reinvigorate the whole idea in the nineties and it was okay, but.

It was the one more bad, but it wasn't the one you're talking about that you're working on though.

This is the two, and it's just I mean, it is incredible with absolutely no one tend to help whatsoever. You're coming in like your next door, which is just that does not happen often in my basement.

Now.

Te started out with their trying to promote it by saying you can hear right down into the band noise. Now not an untrue statement, but not exactly Catsy's sloganism.

So they brought in.

The a students who said, bring Bach to the backwoods, Mozart to the mountains, or disco to the desert.

There you go. I love a little desert disco. Listen, man, have a fantastic rest of the weekend, try and stay warm, and happy birthday on Monday.

Brother, Hey, thank you so very much.

I mean, that's a real reason to have a party right there, Old radio Rick at gmail dot com if you'd like to get in touch.

Every day.

I thank god I live in America.

Thank God we don't live in some slop hole like Britain. And I thank god for Bill Cunningham. He's the voice of my America. He's the voice of my America too.

That's because he's the great American American.

Willie gives me hope for America.

He knows we can all achieve the American dream.

You just got to work hard and listen to Willie. Even my dog listens.

That's a great American dog.

You'll never care me.

Come play.

Goes.

I got friends and places were whiskey round land there, jem.

Yes, let's float away to happy Land and visit our friends east of town, all the way down fifty two to how now Brown County. The lovely village of Ripley, Ohio on the banks of the Mighty Ohio River. On Main Street, there is a place called Brookie Saloon, and they gather early on Saturdays just to talk to little old me.

Good morning, gang, good bye, good morning.

We have seven folks and a quarter, including Dinah. Before we get started, I've got you a voice and opinion. This morning, I get really upset with people who will not answer their phones or texts. This is a shout out, and I'm trashing Ronald Hord buzzing off at this morning.

He set up this deal.

Over Taters Saloon in Washington, Kentucky, which is a wonderful establishment.

Is that where you are? Is that where you are there?

No, we are at Brookie's if because he would not answer his phone all week. To confirm this, Douglas Tip called to Colin. I've tried to call him.

So I'm on my way.

Alleni and Dina's on our way down here, and he burns my phone up. Are you on your way to Tator's? I said, nope, I'm on my way to Brookies. Maybe you need to answer your phone. So anyway, we would have been a Tater's if Buzzul answered the phone. So okay, I'm done with my rant.

Here's Sherry oh Man. Yes he's wound up about that.

Let me I tell you.

I tell you what Brown County where the women or women, where the women or women and the men are nervous.

I do not want, I do not want to inspire the ire of that lady ever.

Burn Skippy, just answer your fune' that's my message today, all right?

Anyway, Well the money's up to how much today? One fourteenth one fourteenth five. But there's no drawing this week, Brookies getting out of town for a little bit.

Vacation rearch, So so you're not you're not doing the Queen of Hearts next Wednesday.

It'll be the following Wednesday, Is that right?

That's try all.

Right, one hundred and fourteen to five. That's nice.

Glad to have him back.

Well, I get yeah. I mean I was glad to see Doug this week too, after his uh, his extended cancuon vacation, you know. Being the oil baron of Brown County, he goes to all kinds of exotic places all the time.

And we've got.

Matt Miller back there hiding in the corner.

Yeah, and Lexi and likely back there be.

Able to drink like a yeah, I was gonna say, he's not hiding, he's behind the bar. He's stealing Darren Booze, I know exactly what he's doing.

Yere's kaplan.

I mean, I'm not angry Buzz. I'm just fussing outing.

That's all right. You can be angry at Buzz, I don't. It doesn't bother me if you're angry at Buzz. I do think that every once in a while you should do a welfare check if you can crawl up the hill to that house that he lives upon. I don't know how somebody like Buzz lives in a house where you've got to high halfway up a mountain when he's inebriated most of the time. I don't if Buzz was sober, I don't think he could make it up the hill. He can only do it drunk.

We're gonna hire you with you because everyone in this bar is taking him home more than once, and that hill is difficult for a sober person.

Yeah, I don't think. I don't know more than once in the what's the weather rock situation? We got to move.

Along here, okay, Well the weather rock. I went around the block and the snow's kind of melted down there. I don't even see it, so I don't know where.

It's that I'll have to if somebody stole somebody stole the weather rock in Ripley, it's time to This is an on air appeal. Get it back, put it back in its property.

Jerry might have picked it up somewhere or whatever. It was down under all that snow and it's kind of melted. I don't see it, but we're going to investigate again.

This is the number one tourist attraction in your town, so we need to get that restored to its proper place. Listen, I gotta go, Gang, but thank you so much for the report.

Goodbye.

That's that's it. Learn your lines seven. I don't know what Steve is going to talk about here. I don't want to steal his thunder. But March fourth, eighteen forty one one, William Henry Harrison of Ohio was sworn in as President of these United States. It was a very cold, very wet day. He would die thirty two days later of pneumonia. So maybe there is precedent for bringing the inauguration indoors. Don't you think it's been done before? Steve fromatt in Ohio, good morning, my friend.

Good morning Gary, Jeff. These wildfires in La these Acidine confirmation hearings. In literature, we would call this pitiful play a farce. Among the faithful, there is a call for deliverance from this evil and escape from the wilderness. When I observed a lesbian cult running the La fifty, where a wh male has to wait seven years to be considered for employment because he checks no boxes, I draw on my exposure to the Bible in Shakespeare to make

This means war.

Jack Falstaff naturally does not take his recruiting duties very seriously, accepting bribes to exempt slackers from military service while signing up the worst of the rest. Does not democrat VP Canada. Tim Walls remind you of Jack Falstaff. This is where Falstaff and the prodigals part ways. The prince reconciles with his dad over the son's wicked ways. Dad wins the war despite Jack Falstaff's personnel policies. The King, however, dies

Of the common wealth.

Ah, what did the Bible say? The sins of the father ps and a famous goodbye to staff in his crowd, Henry the fifth delivers a curse forever on de Ei quote, we will, according to your strengths and qualities, give you advancement, words to live by in any time and placemen, God bless everybody.

Bye, good stuff as always from Steve from Meton, Ohio, Ray from Loveland Race, got my brother, how are you this morning?

Good morning, Gary's you have good morning. She's coming in loud and clear in your award winning program, and I just a quick note, my friend. You know, I think it's we need to give the first ladies of our country their due. And you know there's there's been impactful first ladies more than others. And comes to mind Eleanor Roosevelt, bless her heart. She could be considered the the mother of the era movement and equal rights for women and

And clips, and you.

Know Nancy Reagan in her Just Say No to Drugs a great program, and not to be outdone, Michelle Obama.

Using her platform to show the world how the peaceful transition of power should occur with her slogan, I just can't go God, bless you, my brother.

Thank you, Ray. Maybe she should try some meta musal or something. I don't know. I will talk to Steve Schulty after the news at seven o'clock as we trudge on on a Saturday morning seven hundred WLW at into another hour of the Saturday Morning edition, January eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Gary Jeff Walker, that's me and you, and that's perfectly fine with me as well you. I think you're doing a great job. Time to talk to environmental engineer Steve Schulty.

I see trees, some green.

Red roses too, I see them blue.

Fuming you, and I think to myself, what I wonder?

What a wonderful world it day? Good morning, mister Shelty. How are you so?

Good morning, mister Gary Jeff, Yes, sir, yes, good morning, good morning.

It's it's a wonderful day, that's for sure.

No, no, no question.

Uh.

We're talking about the continuing ev debacle, and it is a debacle.

Uh.

And and there are all kinds of questions arising as to whether these these tax credits are going to continue for and whether the mandates are still going to be in place after Monday. God, let's hope not.

Anyway, Yep, anyway, this is uh. I saw this a couple of weeks ago. I thought, oh is this dear dear to Garret jes Haart.

Uh.

It's from reason dot Org, UH Reason Foundation Surface Transportation Innovations by UH, Robert Pole Jr.

And UH.

Title of the article is the electric vehicle debacle does in the last six months have been dismal for those hoping for US electric vehicle future. Here's a small example of news articles from this period. Auto industry retreat from evs hastens.

This is the Wall.

Street Journal of August twenty three, at twenty twenty four. Electric vehicle sales are stumbling. Here's why. Bloomberg September twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Low used eding crisis pinch dealers and owners. The Wall Street Journal, October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. The dream of cheap US electric cars fades Wall Street Journal, November.

Of eighteen at twenty twenty four.

And the last, but not least, things get worse for the ED startups The Wall Street Journal, December second. The last of these articles includes Grass showing the shrinking cash balances among EV startups and the dismal share prices of those companies such as Fisker, Lucid, and Rivian that are public get traded. The declining sales of electric vehicles have led to setbacks for plans to build huge ED battery plants, not only here but also in.

ED friendly Europe.

Volvo has put on hold plans to build a large plant to make batteries for its electric trucks, and the very ambitious startup Weedi's EV battery company, North Volt, filed for bankruptcy soon thereafter. These weren't designs to our federal and state governments that large subsidies to build.

Battery plants would not be a wise move. I go even further, Garrett Jeff.

They are nothing more than welfare boondoggles for rich crony crapolists.

But anyway, Douverle.

State governments have provided state a for evy batteries, but the most enormous substies come from us, believe your federal taxpayers. The latest was announced in November with great fan here when the Fighting Regimes Department of Energy at six point six billion loans and nearly bankrupt Ribbean for an EV plant in Georgia. I mean, if this wasn't our money, it's funny it built. It would have the capacity to

To a company.

The bill four hundred thousand SUVs and crossovers and last year not even I don't know what it did this year, but it's probably under fifty thousand. Department Andrew recently finalized even larger nine point six billion loans for the Ford EV battery plant in Tennessee. And as I've reported, it's been Ford has been losing tons of money on his tour selling at evs Again, Gary, Jeff, just you know, you'd be laughing at this if it wasn't urging.

Here's here's I think a pertinent question, Steve, and we need to kind of wrap it up. But the question I have, if someone can answer, did Henry four get subsidies for the government to put the assembly line together and to build the model.

T Did he No?

I think he did that all on his own. And this was cutting edge technology at the time, especially the assembly line, which could produce these affordable cars for the common man. That the common man was not subsidizing with their tax dollars. So if it's a good enough idea, some entrepreneur, some builder should be able to make them on their own, and if they're so wonderful, they should be flying off the showroom floors. The fact is they're not,

Meanwhile, in the entrented forest, the princess is calling for help, which fightings beat our hero's Eddie.

The first dawn of fitness in the Tri State Rocco Costelano joining us once again on a Saturday morning. Rocco, we got something pretty serious. I mean, everything we talk about is kind of serious. But we're talking about heart attacks. And you just were personally touched by someone who suffered a massive heart attack at the age of fifty five. What do you know? What can you tell us about of the heart and heart attacks?

Well, so, a really good friend of mine, Steve Cotter. He was one of the like the godfathers of the kettlebell movement. He had a he had a big organization called on the ik FF. And and why I wanted to talk about this is because he was literally in the best shape of his life. And at fifty five years old, he won the master's division, like the championships in jiu jitsu. I mean, he just won it. And

Well, I mean, and and you can get you know, you can. What do you think about the cardiomobile things where you can check your your heart rhythm right on the spot.

Well, I think that any time that you can, you can test. I'm a big advocate for getting blood tests. I get my blood tested, you know, every four months. But you don't have to be that extreme. But I recommend, uh, yeah, do the cardio mobile, get your blood pressure tested. Don't be an idiot and say, oh, well, I don't really I'm I go, I work out all the time, and I'm and I feel great.

You know, there may.

Be an underlying thing that you don't know about. And this is this is our theory, is that there was something underlying and he was training so hard, so you know, and and many people after forty five they start getting into exercise so that they could you know, feel better and be you know, and live a better life. Well, if you're just starting to exercise or get, test it and get.

And make sure that you're in, you know, in the shape that you believe that you're in.

Here's Tom good morning, Gary Jeff This week, what happened to the evidence?

Oh?

The rats ate it, of course, But first, will the tyranny of the HSA ever end?

And book? A Ratan?

A Florida homeowners association is suing Lois Blake for feeding the ducks. Poor Lois probably moved down there to spend your last few remaining good years with good people having good times, not being dragged to court for feeding ducks who naturally migrate to nearby bonds. I hope she counters whos and wins up money to buy more ducks. Meanwhile, in the hometown of the Hoosiers, Bloomington, INDIANMA, some college kid must have had a major case of the late

It happened a.

Couple of years ago in New Orleans and those rats were reportedly out of control because they were so high. Next week, man calls nine to one to one after spotting quote mermaid in sewer system.

Have a great.

Temperatures and a temp of thirty eight in the morning. As for the rest of Saturday, that rain will change over to a little bit of mix into the afternoon as we fall from forty into the thirties.

By then at night cloudy.

In nineteen Sunday, a chance for snow showers and a high at twenty five. That's the forecast I'm nine First Warning Chief Meteorologist Steve Rawley.

Seven one hundred WLW Sports.

It's one of those weekends when all kinds of sporting action converging in just a finite number of days to run down some of what's ahead.

Sean McMahon is here, Sean.

Yeah, it's a beautiful weekend for sports. Gary Jeff here on seven hundred WLW. It's a two pm tip off, one thirty pre game you see hosting Arizona State looking for their second conference winning the Big twelve Xavier down the dial on fifty five KRC two pm tip, one to thirty pre game taking on the number seven Marquette Golden Eagles, and number four Alabama travels to Roup Arena to take on the number eight Kentucky Wildcast.

That game is a noon tip. You can hear that on fifteen thirty. Yeah, that's that's that's a big game, big time game, big time. There's lots of good games.

I think Auburn takes on Oh shoot, I forgot who they take on there. Anyway, big Top twenty five match up at Auburn today. We got lots of football as well this weekend. It's the NFL Divisional round in the playoffs, It's Chiefs Texans at four thirty and Commander's Lions at eight o'clock. Rams Eagles Sunday at three o'clock, Ravens Bills Sunday at six thirty. All those games can be heard here on seven hundred WLW, as well as Monday's college

Ohio and the Notre Dame fighting irish about it, and I'm predicting a victory, not necessarily because I want that, but that's just how I feel that it's going to go down. I would have to agree. And you know, but the fact that Notre Dames in this National championship game is just incredible. It's wild.

You wouldn't think after watching them lose to NIU they'd be in a national championship game, but here they are.

There. You go, well, Ohio State. The real kickstart for them was losing to Michigan. It was, and they've been bulldozing through the competition ever since. It's one heck of a fire underneath them. I'll tell you that, doubt seven seven. It's seven hundred WLW. Big Hits birthday bitch and more in Rock and Roll Archaeology on a Saturday morning on seven hundred wlw.

And men.

And men and had been lame man and sing it over men and men and men and man and seize the little quacky back.

Rapped in amaze, or a Christmas morning singing in a tim bout, talking with the elders.

To Borrow's house. Whiz then man, man, man.

Here they are the impressions singing Amen, hallelujah.

Brother.

It's rock and Roll Archaeology. Garriy Jeff and Jim Lebarber the music professor, prof good morning, tell me about this little ditty and this wonderful vocal group.

Yeah, this is the week.

This is the week in nineteen ninety one that the Impressions were inductive into the rock and roll Hall of Fame. And what happened to that song was well critis. Mayfield went to see the Sydney Poortier film Lilies of the

Go on on.

And this song is a big, big hit with a big man seller, top seven hit in nineteen sixty four. And that's Curtis Mayfield and leads and comparable lead singer with great harmonies, Sam Goodman, Freddy Cash into the.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today.

All right, fantastic, moving on our list. This is almost the flip side of the coin of Amen, the bad Boys of rock and roll, the Rolling Stones in the spotlight.

Yeah, this was the week Rolling Stones were on the holy Grail of television, the Ed Tullivan Show. And you did what Ed said to do if you're going to be on that show. And they had a record Ruby Tuesday, and the flip side was getting pushed cold. Let's spend the night together, and Ed said, Okay, you can sing on the show, but you have to change it to let's spend some time together, and he gave it. Mick Jagger gave into him, but when he sang it. When they sang it on the show this week in nineteen

Soong isn't really rude, It's not perverted. When you hear it, you'll realize this. So is the song. Let's spend the night together.

Let's spend some time with the rolling stone, shall we.

I'm lord, I'm going right myself, time, time, my mouth.

Chas, spend those nicetygather.

Thatgather.

Let's spend the nicety gather.

I'm going a can.

Of span over and spend the nightgether. But I'm telling a job.

Bole's spend a nice things.

Don't rang me up, let.

Me down, let me down.

Oh yeah, Mick, what do you call fooling around? He's right there, Jimmy, he's talking about fooling around. It's not a this is not a pure song. So what amazes me about that story with Ed Sullivan is that Ed Sullivan banned them for the from the show, even though they did what he told them to do with the song, but mix rolling his eyes, that's why he banned him.

Oh yeah, he's really upset with him. That was a holy grail of television.

Oh I know, I know. The Beatles appearing seventy seven million people tuning in. Up next is the story of a temptation that no longer was a temptation and went solo. Tell me about David Ruffin.

Well, David Ulan in the spot length today we lost in the choice a number of years ago. As you'll like, Well, it sas here in Cincinnati today. He would to celebrate the birthday David Rufton, the great lead thing with the Temptations went to the Southern Guy went to Detroit nineteen fifty seven as a kid, and he meets Barry Gordy, junior songwriter, up and coming songwriter, and they become friends

At the time.

Wasn't showing up and he said, let's just knew the Temptations and you do. David Ruffin, well, he had a contract with Motown and he said, I'm leaving. I'm leaving, and they said, well you have some records. Because you have a solo contract with us, we want you to make some records. So he did make this record. Several hits, but this was the big one. This was his solo debut for Motown. And originally this was a Temptation song. He's supposed to do with the Temptations, but he's a

And this song is my whole world. And at the moment you left.

Me last week, my life, that meeting, it was beautiful and.

So sweet, but.

That wo to me the whole world in complete, cos.

I can't see you know all that was all that you say, but you do not is with our mail bas the God to.

The remembering the marvelous David Ruffin, on the anniversary of his birth, miss that voice.

It's rock and roll archaeology on seven hundred W l W. Gary Jenffen, Jim Lebarbara the music professor, were down to the last on the list today and uh, this is one of my favorites.

Yeah this this guy was celebrated. Well yeah, man, he's still a lot celebrated the birthday on Tuesday. Nay Clarence Carter is.

He still is he still stroking? You think he's still stroking?

Apparently he still performs everybody but once in a while.

He got there.

Graduate from Alabama State University and my Gunway Alabama. Uh, he made some great records stroking. Of course you mentioned slip Away was the first big head he had, but this is really his signature song came about This song was written by General Johnson, the chairman of the board, and he heard it on the album If I got to do that song and they did it the famed studios down the muscle sholes and it's the story of the boy who grows up on a family farm in Alabama.

Sherman of the boy.

He said, I got to do my own, and he said I wanted to Samuel Matural, and I guess I tried to.

Move too hard for some people.

And when he recorded the song, he didn't He didn't even know the lyrics, so somebody stood behind him whispered them to him when he did his vocal, and it became a number four million sellar in nineteen seventy. Patches Clarence Carter.

Oh, yeah, I was born and raised down in Alabama, on a farm, way back up in the woods.

Thanks proud.

I was so ragged the folks used to call him, and Patches Papa used to tease him by it, go step down inside.

He was hurt because he'd done all he could.

Papa was a great old man.

I can see him with a shovel in his hands. See education he never had. He didn't want us when the time got bad, they don't want it.

From the crops he raised fellow panes and bills we made who life that ricked him down to look out when he tried to get up life putting thing down. One day I was coming to his dying man put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said, he said, patches.

On your son. Through my shig side led up.

To two days later Papa passed to wind.

I became a man that day.

So I told Mama I was gonna quit school, but she.

Said that was Daddy's strictest ruth. So every morning when I went to school, I met the chickens in a chop bud too. Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on. I wanted to leave, just wanna wave him from home.

But I wouldn't remember what my daddy said. With tears in his eyes on his dying man, he.

Said, patches, I'm the bed, do your son. I tried to do my pass it's up.

Then one day a strong rain came and watched all the crops of weight and at the age of thirteen, I thought I was carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders.

And you know, Mama knew what I was going through because every day I had.

To work the pills because that's the only.

Way we've got our meal. See, I was the oldest self of family, and everybody has depended on me.

Every night.

I've heard my mama pray loud, haven't spread to make good other day though he is a pass and all the kids are wrong.

Then he just took me, Mama to a brand new long those.

People I shed his chees.

But my dad and his boy has kept me through the years saying, Patches, just.

It's up.

You know.

I always believed that was an autobiographical song myself. Not so Clarence Carter. Patches just had a birthday this past week. And one extra from the files on Rock and Roll Archaeology. This was the date of nineteen seventy three that Pink Floyd reconvened in the em I now Abbey Road Studios to complete Dark Side of the Moon, their landmark album released in March of that year. So a few moments of Zen with Pink Fluorid speak to me breathe in

I don't want to stand out in that cold weather?

Oh my god. It was the most logical thing to do. And now I guess some are framing it as a negative against Donald Trump that the decision was made to take the inauguration inside. These people will stop at nothing when it comes to finding ways to complain about Trump, even now. It's amazing.

You know the last president who had inside, don't.

You, Reagan nineteen eighty five. Yeah.

I think there's some snaffoo about the data sell on a still had it outside event afterwards, But they had to do it. They had to do it on that day to follow the Constitution or something of that nature. I thought that's the way it was. Anyhow, Happy birthday, Radio Rick.

Help you get my.

Bouquet of color coded resisters, so that'd be a perfect gift, you know. I was just listening, like for I'll listen to Radio Rick in the morning. I actually I listened to on my radio shock alarm clock radio that I got when I was twelve years old. So I actually I'm still living some of that old radio history with Radio Rick.

Every morning. Somebody sent me a picture. Mike sent me a picture at Gary Jeff Walker at seven out of WLW dot com of his ge super radio. He has one sent me a screenshot of it, and it is a gorgeous little piece of marvelous modern technology.

You had your little segment with Steve. Real quick before we get to the topic. You asked about the Henry Ford getting government money. But one of the most amazing facts about you know, inventors is, and we just spent a whole show on this, but real quick, the Wright brothers they spent one thousand dollars of their own money for the first developing flight, and Langley at the same time got seventy thousand dollars of government money.

And couldn't get off the ground.

So that's that tells you every That tells you everything you need to know about government subsidized projects.

Anyway, well what do you got ours?

So we got the you never know what shows up on your ring doorbell, Gary Jeff Back, July of twenty twenty four. Last year, a couple up in Prince Edward Island in Charlott'stown. They were walking their dogs outside and when they came back home, they saw just a total like something like all this debris over the front patio at their door entrance. And someone in neighbor him or

It is a non metallic.

Mineral that is forms actually formed from the early Solar system made that made planets up. So these this couple that has on the ring camera meteorite crashing onto the front doors through Luckily there was an Amazon being delivered at the time.

No doubt, no doubt, Michael, have a wonderful weekend and stay warm as we get the full effects of the polar vortex.

Rain today, a winter remixeszy.

Caverns, kinds, sharons time and.

And let's go to brother Rick Green on a Saturday morning. Try to be positive wherever possible on this program. And one of the ways in which we do that is by bringing you the Word of God Bible verse and something to think about. Brother Rick.

Good morning, Hey, good morning Gary, Jeff.

I woke up praying for you and your listeners.

I need it.

I'm having an awesome day. Me and God have been talking all morning.

All right. Well, see that that's the thing. Maybe this just gets in the way of me talking to God because I have to talk to everybody else.

I'm sure you find your time, yes.

Yes, sir, Yes sir during the commercial breaks for sure. What have you got for us?

Rick?

Today? We're coming from First Peter chapter three, verse eight. It says, finally, all of you be like minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be campassionate, and humble.

Amen.

Amen, indeed those are from awesome qualities.

Yeah, the patients and the humility are the tough ones, probably for most people.

We need to find time to work on them, Garrett.

Yes sir, Yes, sir. I had one for you too, And it's something else to think about. Since we're we're gonna be dipping down into below zero temperatures, it's going to be tough for a lot of people. And I can't imagine the people that you minister too that are outside. But this is from Romans five three four. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character hope.

Amen.

I hope it warms up real soon.

Me too.

Death.

I'm praying for all of those that have no work to go. It's all breaking, yeah, it is.

It is all right, Rick, you keep up the good work in the Lord's work and we'll talk to you soon.

All right, all right, you all have a blessed back.

You got it. Eight seventeen. Our friend Dave Hatter will join us in just a few this morning at nine.

Mike Allen goes where other hosts dare not tread and on not talking about the men's room on seven hundred w welw.

Very often on my Nightcap program. And then you see him and hear him all over town from Intrust our tech guide as he says, the foil hat guy Doomsday. Dave Hatter joins us for a few minutes on this Saturday morning to talk some stuff to look out for in the world of cyberspace. Well, David's finally come. According to the Supreme Court, the law can stand. TikTok goes

Yeah, it has Gary, Jeff and I bet you know. Well, I'm about to say next with is to TikTok, don't let the door hit you with a good lord, splitchet brother can't be gone soon enough for my money. And you know I'm generally against this kind of regulation, but you nailed it's it's PRC spyware badly. Now we've got this red note thing that's kind of taking its place, which is the same thing, right essentially. I mean, I don't know exactly what the inner workings are because it's

Right.

Well, here's the thing that I wondered about the law. Is the law just speccifically TikTok. Were they that blindsided? Because any other app that, as you said, is owned basically by the People's Republic of China. The Communist Chinese Party is going to do exactly the same thing. Wouldn't Red Note be included in that law and shouldn't have there been?

Well, as I understand it, carriage Yet, I think that's a good question, as I understand that the law fans or at least has the capability to ban any app that's owned by a foreign power. So in theory, red Note and some of the other Chinese controlled apps that have picked up the slack for TikTok in the past few days, as this has been imminent, I think would fall. You know, I'm not an attorney. I took a look at what it says. I believe they would all be

Until early last.

Week, I'd never even heard of Red Note neither, right. I just it sort of came out in as people started to say, well, Okay, if I can't use TikTok, I'm going to go to one of these other things. And apparently people and I think this is suspicious, people on TikTok influencers quote unquote, it's got I'm telling people will go to red note is that because of the very thing that you and I and others have warned about on TikTok forever, that it's basically a CCP spyware

This other app?

Probably, But as far as the law goes, you know, I would hope this thing would come under scrutiny as well, and you know it will. It will go away too.

But again, these.

Things move so fast now, and when you get millions of people on a given platform saying okay, fine, then go to this one, you know it's going to be a difficult challenge to stay ahead of this until Americans wake up and realize, Hey, when the PRC patents technology to cut your undersea cables, when they infiltrate your telecom networks, when your own government tells you that you have to use in end encryption to protect yourself from them, and

Yeah, you have no doubt about it. What I mean, why can't TikTok users just use the other platform? Why can't they use Instagram reels for example, or anything like that.

Well they can. And you know, people will always argue with me, Well, you say you don't like meta they have all the same problems Google, et cetera.

And they do.

They do have many of the same problems. But at least they're American companies collecting your data. And yes, I know they sell your data to data brokers who might end up selling it to the PRC too, But they're not subversive adversarial nations trying to propit and dies you with anti Western and pro CCP narratives. You know, it's a different threat level. We wouldn't have let the Soviets put a device in your house during the Cold War that could listen to you and talk to you and

Well, you know it's I don't think you sound crazy at all, but I once dated a girl with Tourette syndrome. So Dave, Dave Patter, have a wonderful, wonderful rest of the day and weekend, and for gosh sakes, stay warm with the blow zeros coming up.

Thank you, Gary, Jeff, always my pleasure.

Look forward to chat with Look forward chat with you soon too. Good morning kids, Time for gifts from Wally. Snow emergency. Michael and his wife live in Minnesota. One winter morning, eating breakfast listening to the radio, they hear the announcers say, we're gonna have eight to ten inches of snow today. Please park your car on the even numbered side of the street so the snowplows can get through. Michael's wife gets up, goes out, and moves her car.

What?

What kind of program has Arizona State got this year? In hoops? In the Big twelve?

One that has the exact same Big twelve record as Cincinnati one in four three consecutive losses. Cincinnati is a big favorite today at home, at least big relative to the Big Twelve and their recent struggles. I think last night the point spread climbs to ten points. I haven't seen where it is this morning. UC's got to win their home games, you know. I mean that sounds obvious, and when you are where they are in the least,

And obviously you're happy that the game is inside, as most as most college basketball games always are. But yeah, this is not a And I bring this up, mo, because we're gonna have this like life threatening cold here the next few days. And I'm not a fan. I don't know who is exactly. You know, you know the joke about the little polar bear. Ask his mother, am I Am I really a polar bear? She said, well, your father's a polar bear. I'm a polar bear. Yeah,

The AFC Championship game in Kansas City two years ago, the one that the Bengals lost, which what was remarkable about it was, you know, we had looked at the forecast and seen that it was going to be insanely cold, like they were talking about the coldest day in Kansas City in forty years. The night before, on Saturday night

Yeah.

Well, what always confounds me mo is watching a game in cold weather and bitterly cold web like no, no one should be outside, much less outside for three or four hours, and the people with their shirts off to prove the they're tough. What what is that all about? What is that mentality? Do you know somebody like that? And and what do you if you're a good friend, what would you tell them?

I would tell him he should have been cut off five or six years ago, because that's that's my assumption. Like nobody does that sober, Like nobody who's bac is zero point zero zero says you know what I'm gonna do? Now take my shirt off. It's frigid. We're in the single digits. Wind shows are below zero, and and without any sort of liquid or other influence, says, I'm gonna go ahead and take my shirt off. And and like, what are the people around him supposed to say, like, wow, man,

Mike Allen just came in here, he's coming in for a show after we're done, and he just said, what did you tell me your mother?

What your mother was at the Freezer Bowl? I guess it was the early eighties. She certainly didn't take her shirt off, But did your mother have a pension for taking your shirt off? And published who knew? She'll strike me dead from heaven if I say that. So, Mike Allen's mom was at the Freezer Bowl. How many people have told you that they were at the Freezer Bowl and you just don't believe them.

Most of them? Most of them? Yeah, you know, I joked about this on social media this week when it got really cold, because people who went to the Freezer Bowl oftentimes not all the time, but if you make the remark that man, it's really cold out, like I did this that game in Kansas City, I talked about that this is the coldest I've ever been. I don't recall specifically what the wind show was, but it was

So I.

Often roll my eyes when I start to hear a Freezer Bowl story because it usually includes an admonition if you are complaining about the current cold temperature. So this week, if you didn't go to the Freezer Bowl and you remark that it's cold and you run into someone who did, chances are you're going to get a lecture about how it's not really as cold as it was on that January Day in nineteen eighty two.

Anytime below zero, it's too cold for me. Yes, period, end of story. Let's real quickly run down the divisional playoff games this weekend. I think that Kansas City probably takes care of the Houston Texans at home today, which the game will be here on the air after you see basketball it's done. I think they take care of them. But I think it's pretty much the way Kansas City is one all year long. It will be close, but at the end, Kansas City will make the plays and

Guess as well. But I think there's two interesting dynamics I'm I'm curious about. One is the main guys on the Chiefs haven't played in three and a half weeks, you know, since Christmas, which feels like forever ago. So what impact positive or negative does that have on their performance?

Breaking away from that that storyline, just for a moment, you mentioned the Steelers saw a report that Russell Wilson really wants to come back next year. Is the Steelers quarterback? Do the Steelers want Russell Wilson back? I want him back.

I want him back in Pittsburgh. I think Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson are a new version of Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton, which there's some good to that, right. They playoffs every year, Mike Tomlins never had a losing record, Russell Wilson has had a terrific career. I don't think that combination is gonna win a championship and so so I think they're kind of in quarterback purgatory because if you're a Steelers fan and you say, no, I don't

The Lions handled the count the Commanders tonight.

I think it's an interesting game because Detroit's got a lot of injuries now and defensively, they were terrific in their last game against the Minnesota Vikings, but they weren't great all season long.

You know, the Commanders are kind of in this house money, you know deal where they go on the road and win last week, come back against the Bucks. They won twelve games this season. It's been an uber successful year. But the Lions are the one seed for a reason. They were the best team in the NFC. They can come at you in a thousand different ways on offense, and so Detroit's heavily favored for a reason.

All Right, NFL tomorrow, as the divisional playlayoffs continue, We've got the Eagles playing the Rams. The Eagles come out victorious or the Rams surprise somebody else.

I think this is the game that is most difficult for us to wrap our brains around, because offensively from Philly, what do we get. What impact is the weather going to have on the game? And the Rams. I think you and I talked about this that the Rams. You know, what you don't think of when you think of the LA Rams is grind it out December January football. And yet that's kind of how they've played here. They have

Talk about that game. It's in Buffalo, and that always seems to me to give the Bills the edge, except maybe this time.

Well, not in the playoffs last year against Kansas City, and not in the postseason two years ago against the Cincinnati Bengals, And so I think there's a fair amount of pressure on the Buffalo Bills to rectify that win this game. You know, Baltimore and Buffalo played Week four and it wasn't close and Josh Allen wasn't very good.

Yeah.

At the same time, Lamar Jackson's playoffs track record is checkered at best. They played from ahead last week against the Steelers, jumped out to a twenty one nothing league Derrick Henry was awesome. Buffalo's defense was porous for much of the season.

This year.

The Ravens are favored for a reason, but there is the playoff history of Lamar Jackson that looms over this game. I'm going to guess Buffalo wins, but I believe, and I know you're not gonna like to hear this. I believe the AFC champion comes out of this game tomorrow night.

Yeah, I see. The thing is unlike other fans of some teams, I don't live and die with everything that Kansas City Chiefs do or don't do. I just appreciate them and follow them as my chosen team, regardless of the outcomes. However, a three peat is still possible, and I'd like to see it just for historical reasons.

Three peat is definitely possible and would be a remarkable feat as much as folks listenings and probably don't want to admit that.

All right, well listen, you keep your remarkable feet as warm as possible, and we'll talk to you on the other side.

Right, you got it, man, Thank you?

Yep Moegar who will be with the UC Bearcats today on the broadcast against Arizona State this afternoon. Our coverage begins at one point thirty Mike Allen, Saturday midday, Round the Bend. Next at nine o'clock, counselor how are you?

I'm good?

How about you doing fine? Good?

Good?

Tell me about what's on your on your dock. Oh we got it all chock full of good stuff.

Going to talk about the three ring circus that was the confirmation hearings this week, and we're going to feature the head clown, crazy Mazy Herono from Hawaii.

He's unbelievable, you know.

Joe Biden, we're going to talk about him giving the country the finger on his way out the door. Also, want to spend some time on Moss renigging on the peace steal.

Also going to talk to Orlando Samsa. He's going to be at the inaugural. I don't know how putting it inside is going to affect him. I hope he still gets to go. Also, finally, you want to talk to Steve good In, legal analyst about the legal roadblocks to Trump overturning Biden's DOJ cases and his executive orders.

They're throwing some roadblocks up on that stuff. Well, I mean the roadblocks are you know, they'll be the Democrats have a whole army of lawyers, right, you know, ready to sue Trump for whatever executive order he signs, and he's going to sign about one hundred of them. That's what Monday afternoon and Tuesday that his penhand is going to be cramping you know what good for him. Man, We've been waiting a long time for it. Last day

Today.

We'll see you there hopefully Saturday midday. Mike Allen coming up next on seven hundred WLW.

Did you know that running a dumpster for a remodeling or downsizing project isn't hard to do? Don't get stuck at home with a pile of junk called driveway dumpsters, and we'll take care of you. Don't hang on to what you don't need called driveway dumpsters. At five point one three six hundred and twenty six three seven.
