You want to little see wondering, Oh can you feel it too? Shakakan also known as Vet Marie Stevens born on this day in Chicago, Illinois, Shaka Khan. He is seventy one. On this March twenty thirty, twenty twenty

four, they had a Gary Jeff Walker. Before we look ahead and look back at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history, including but not limited to these. This is a landmark day in American liberty history. This was the day purportedly in seventeen seventy five, when Patrick Henry delivered an addressed to the Virginia Provincial Convention. He said to have declared, give me liberty or give me death. Has there been a time that was more?

I don't know up to that moment, since seems like we're closing in on Patrick Henry time in this country. Eighteen o six, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, started their journey back. Nineteen nineteen, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy.

Also in this state, the German rece Tang adopted the Enabling Act, which effectually effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers the beginning of the Third Reich nineteen thirty three. On this date. Nine years later, during the Second World War, partly spawned by Hitler, nineteen forty two, the first Japanese Americans, in turn by the US Army during World War II, arrived at a camp in California this date. In nineteen sixty five, America's first two person space

mission took place. Gemini three blasted off with Virgil Gus Grissom and John Young aboard about a five hour flight not to be confused with a three hour tour, and the nineteen eighty one Supreme Court decision that ruled that states could require, with some exceptions, parental notification when teenage girls seek abortions. We're still fighting over this. Some forty three years later. Scientists found the runaway renegade

gene that causes Huntington's disease in nineteen ninety three. Seemed like that would be a perfect way to say we're on the path to curing Huntington's disease. There was a crash in Siberia between two jets this date, nineteen ninety four, loss of all seventy five people on board. A pilot's teenage son was allowed to sit in the cockpit, and that accidentally disengaged the autopilot, causing loss of controlled Nice work. Yes, your heart will go on and on and

on and on and on to distraction for most of us. March twenty third, nineteen ninety eight, Titanic tied an Academy Awards record by winning eleven Oscars for the song the Director You Know the Whole Kitten. And this was a movie about something where we all knew what happened from the very beginning. How odd and again in the column of Donald Trump was right twenty twenty, then President Donald Trump said he wanted to reopen the country for business in weeks,

not months. He asserted that continued closures could result in more deaths than the coronavirus itself. He was right. We're finding out every day. How right he was. The lockdowns were futile and did nothing but cause more misery for everyone involved. Movie director Mark Rdel has a birthday today. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson mentioned Shaka Khan, Amanda Plumber, Catherine Keener, Hope Davis, Richard Greco. Oh, that's an eighties flashback, Richard Greco. Let's

see Damon Alburn, who's in Blur fifty six. May tune into some of that later on. Melissa Erico, John Humphrey of the Nixons, not Richard in the Gang, the other Nixons. Let's see Randall Park, Michelle Monahan, Carrie Russell, Anastasia Griffith, and so one. Perez Hilton. How about that If it's your birthday, I Ope, it's the best day ever. You get to spend it with the people you love, doing things that you love to do. Happy Birthday. It's five point forty one to check

on weather and sports straight ahead as we get you going. On the Saturday morning edition on seven hundred WLW. This morning at nine, Mike Allen goes where other hosts dare not tread and don not talking about the men's room.

On seven hundred WLW, it's time to get a headstart on spring cleaning, get rid of all the dart and grime this winter brought to We won't get any warmer than forty seven for an official air temperature high, but the winds are gonna make it feel colder than that, mostly clear over night Tomorrow morning's low for palm Sunday twenty seven for Sunday sunshine and up to fifty four, and we're all the way up to sixty seven to start to work week on

Monday thirty seven, Now seven one hundred WLW Sports and here a new voice this morning. Sean McMahon is with us or the man I call McManus, and has some sports. We're gonna start with U. See in the basketball tournament that's not the NCAA's that's correct, Gary Jeff the not in tournament, tournament as it's love, as it's lovingly known to a lot of people across the country. U see moved on to the second round. They will play today at one thirty or I'm sorry at two o'clock. Pregames starts at one

thirty here on seven hundred WLW. They beat San Francisco Wednesday night in overtime seventy three to seventy two thanks to a last second shot by Simos Lukotius. And at fourh five today over on Fox Sports thirteen sixty you can catch the Reds against the Rockies. Pregme coverage begins at three to thirty with Dave Yeti Armbrewster and after the conclusion of uce, WLW will join coverage of Reds.

Yeah, they switch back to the Reds game spring training. We're just days away from opening days, so excited, and the situation looks more and more dire for this Reds team in their health. I mean, it looks like a mash unit for God's sake, So what's going on with that? Deed? Do I have any word on the injuries? I haven't heard any new updates at least I know it just seems like everybody's going down. You got Jelvie Marte suspended, Matt McLean's out now, Gosh, everybody's fallen, fallen

victim to something. Yeah, what else is going on this weekend? Sports wise? FC Cincinnati faces New York City FC, not to be confused with the New York Red Bulls. They played tonight at tql pregame at seven o'clock, kickoff at seven thirty on ESPN fifteen thirty. Tommy g has the call excellent. What else you got in NC DOUBLEA? Yes, Dayton, the Dayton Flyers. Our friend Drew Western, Heidi fellow producer, I know he

was happy. On Thursday night, Dayton made a seventeen point comeback against Nevada to win sixty three to sixty on Thursday. That's the largest comeback since and I hate to bring the stat up, the largest comeback since Nevada came back against Cincinnati down twenty two points in twenty eighteen, when Cincinnati was a two seed, a team that many people had slated to run all the way to the Final four in this town. That was a rough year for Cincinnati.

Xavier was a one seed as well and lost to Florida State Dayton. We'll move on to play Arizona at twelve forty five on CBS today. Yep. And we're into the round of thirty two now in the Big Dance, so we will follow that as closely as possible. Thank you. Sean. You are locked on to news radio seven hundred WLW. If you're in the market for window coverings, you need to call Slats, blind and shutter experts. Some news stories you may have missed because for some reason we're not covering them

anywhere else. The FAA has issued a warning for air travel disruptions during the total solar eclipse on April eighth. Is this another y two K thing? Anyway? The Federal Aviation Administration is telling people to beware because the eclipse apparently is going to affect your ability to get on and off a plane that day disruptions in air travel. The path of totality, as it's called, which course comes just about fifty miles from Cincinnati to the west of US and to

the north. At this time. Some thirty two million people in North America are expected to witness the event, and the FAA was issuing a notice to airman emphasizing potential impacts on air traffic and airports along the eclipse path from April seventh to April tenth, so not just on that day, but the days

on either side of the total eclipse day could be problematic. The Manhattan prosecutor the District Attorney Alvin Bragg, one of the Get Trumpers in New York State, asking the New York Supreme Court not to have any more delays in the trial, even though there's been a evidence dump of at least three hundred relevant to the case documents that have shown up, and Donald Trump's lawyers want time

to look at him, which seems fair. But nothing about the Trump persecution that's going on around the country and especially in New York State is fair. Anyone could agree with that a news we have been covering. And again, this is nothing against the royal family. I just don't know why we have to stop and pause and be a respector of persons and the cult of personality. But that's who we are as a society, much to our own detriment,

I would think. But Kate Middleton diagnosed with cancer. She came out herself in a statement. Yes, they interrupted the ballgame, so it must be important we all know someone who has been affected by cancer. That's a blanket statement, but I think we all know someone or are someone who's been a fan with cancer, and we know that it can be a diagnosis that is daunting at the very least, life changing certainly, and can be life

ending. My wife went through breast cancer and praise God, we made it through, and I know other people that are struggling with that right now. The fact that she's the Princess of Wales does not make her cancer more important, though, And it's just amazing to me how we look for personalities everywhere to champion a cause. It's good that they speak out when they have the opportunity and say to other cancer patients and those who have had the same diagnosis,

you know you're not alone. That's a good message. I don't know nothing against Kate Middleton whatsoever, in fact, praying for her, but she's no different than any other man or woman on the planet who's not royalty who has cancer. Ought to keep that in mind. Food for thought, don't eat too much. It's five point fifty two. Dick is hanging on the line. We'll get to him in just a few minutes here on seven hundred

WLW. My wife and I both been granted on a Saturday morning. Who better to fill this space in our our brains and in our hearts than the one and only Dick from Dayton. Good morning, Dick, good morning. I understand that our friend, our friend Dave from Dayton, Yes, finally tracked you down to give you your one hundred dollars. Yeah, congratulations. I haven't got I haven't gotten mine yet. I haven't got mine yet. Dave won't. Dave won't come to my house like he came to your house.

Yeah, I've got to go. I've got to go meet him at the Holy Grail on on Thursday to get my hunty. Yeah, supposedly, we'll see. Supposedly. So have you have you spent about the webs this year? I was. He was telling me something about He asked me how many games, and I told him I thought they'd win seventy I said, seventy two, seventy five are going to win this year? Seventy five, yes, Okay, Now that is less than Vegas has. Vegas has him in eighty two and a half games. So you're yeah, so you're going

less than Vegas. It's not going to be that great a season. You're thinking, huh No, I don't know. They're young yet, and I don't know. I just I think they'll be okay. But you know, i'd like, I said, to have the guys have the guys that are pinned in are injured right now, and we're just days away from opening day. It's Thursday, Dick. We gotta get well, get well soon. Gotta get well soon. Man, come on red. Yeah, looks like a mass unit. Oh. I wanted to tell you who came to a

band? Joe Lee often mincing, may came, making may came. That's great. How are they doing? Oh good? Let me tell you something. Some of the past people came. We've never been. I would say they had at least fifty people with the Melting Club. We were playing and playing and it was good. I got to do, oh maybe a couple songs. You know, I always do the Worried Man songs and John's dotz. We've got to put this in the program, he said. This year

And I remember when we got you your own Triangle set Dick all those years ago. Well, I mean, let me know when you record that Orange Bossom special with you on the Triangle, and then you know, we can advertise what date that is going to drop. That's what the kids say. Dave said he's got time out. You know, my birthday this year is on a on

a Sunday. But he said he's got time baby, that's Saturday, April thirteenth, to come down and see if he wants to go down there. He had a good time last time. Oh, we in a wonderful time and I can't wait to see you on your birthday if that happens. Listen, do me a favor and say good night Dick, good night, jeth all right, have a good week.

I'm Whitney Harris, News Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours your day News Radio seven hundred WLW into the first official hour of the Saturday morning edition for Saturday, March twenty third, twenty twenty four. Garry, Jeff Walker, We're just days away from Red's Opening Day, and I just hope there's a

team that's fielded with Red's uniforms on on Thursday, Great American Ballpark. My god, they're dropping like flies. Anyway, whether or not the team shows up, it's still opening day. I mean, you got the parade, you got the thronger crowds, you got people getting drunk at Holy Grail at

about eight o'clock in the morning, and I guess that'll be fun. About six minutes past the hour on this Saturday morning, the Saturday Morning Edition on the air, and our friend Dave from Harrison is chiming in like the dutiful regular caller that he is. Good morning, Dave, Good morning, heard Jeff. How are we doing? I'm fine. You didn't call me love. Of course, Lynette hasn't been on to call me love first, so I guess that's why. Okay, Darling, where is the love? Dave?

All right? What has what has eighteen legs and catches flies a baseball team? What is the difference between Yankees fans and dentists? I don't know. A Yankees fan roots for the Yanks. The other Yanks for the roots. H Yes, did you did you hear the joke about the baseball? No, it will leave you in stitches. Oh, I love it. What do you got? Well? I know a lot of jokes about retired people, but but none of them work. None of them work. Okay.

And and here's the thought to the person who invented zero. I think we should say thanks for nothing. Okay. And and you know you you know you don't need a parachute to go skydive. Did you know that? No, you need a parachute to go skydiving? Twice? Very good, Very good? David, how's your how's your week been? You sound a little down, You sound a little tuckered out. Has the grand has a grandchild been running you ragged? Or what's going on in the world? Grand

Harrison, the grand dog has been running us ragged? Actually? Oh really for dog sitting and uh oh dog sitting, yes, you need to be you'd be careful when your dog sitting or babysitting for that matter, very much. Yeah, but that's about it. Okay, Well, this has been this is this is more exciting than it usually is, Dave on a Saturday night. Well, that's because of your expertise, and you have a lot there, probably because I need to get another cup of coffee that Run Wilson

nice enough to make. There you go, okay, there you go one week to oyster, that is true, well a week in a day. Yeah, all right, Dave, Well, thanks for thanks for whatever. That was the inventor of zero day from Harrison, thanks for nothing. Six o nine at seven under w l C DC child in the shot in the Last Night Style doing anything my radio advised for every one of those late United Stations plans songs bringing to some of my eyes. I was seriously thinking about

I'd no receival when the switch broke because it's old. The same things that I can hard to believe they we're getting out of the told here is the man real who uh he ordered an Elvis sandwich and so they brought him a peanut butter and Nanner sandwich. He forgot to fill him as an Elvis Costello sandwich, which I believe is a peanut butter and sushi sandwich. Old radio.

Rick Washburn, Good morning, Ricky, how are you? Peanut butter and sushi is young butter and sushi only available in gas stations near you. Well, I mean, if you put it, if you put if you put enough was sabi on it, it really doesn't matter. And your and your nasal passages are cleaned out for the week. What the ketic with sabi is For the idiot sitting next to you that thinks it's avocado beautiful, just

just count to seven and you'll be fine. Exactly. You know, you just mention, you just mentioned gas station sushi, and I'd heard about it, I'd never really seen it until this morning. I stopped at this grab and go, which is across the street from the towers here in Kenwood where we broadcast from, and I stop and there's a Dunkin Donuts. First off, dunkin Donuts, it says clearly on the door opens at five am.

So I'm in there just trying to you know, I didn't do the Golden Arches, didn't do the Mickey DeSUS, and you know dunkin Donuts is open at five, and know they're open at five. I'm gonna get some good dunkin Donuts coffee and maybe a sandwich or something, you know, maybe some donut holes which are being lampooned broadly these days. Uh, And so they're not open yet, and it's like ten after five, and I'm thinking I got to get across the street and start working. And I don't mean to

whine about this, but it clearly on the door says five am. And there's two women in there and they're you know, they're getting it together,

just not apparently in time to open at the proper time. So if if you were going by the Dunkin Donuts that's next to the Grab and Go gas station there on Montgomery Road, it's right next to the Arby's, uh, maybe maybe snop and say hello to the girls at dunkin Donuts and ask them if they've got the correct time, because apparently they don't thank you very much

for not being available for me this morning. Got it well? First of all, I want to say that the gas station Sushi was actually the name of the garage band I was in in nineteen eighty three, And no, not really. And that's that I want my trips to Cincinnati early in the morning, kind of like you, Okay, this place says it's open, I go in, I want a cup of coffee. I got a cup of cold soap, and they weren't thrilled about giving me a refund. You

got a cup of cold soap. How do you confuse coffee with soap? Well, it was in the coffee dispenser. They charged me for it. I went over to the self service thing at hart Ease and there's foam, but not the kind of foam I want. Oh my god. So they they wouldn't give you your money back, or they fought with you. Oh, they eventually did, but oh, it was like such an annoyance to them because well, you know, we're really not open, and it's like

the hours, don't say five to seven, really not open? Said the yeah, really not open. It's sort of kind of open. Then how the hell and how the hell did I get in here? If you're really not open? That's right, I mean, lock the damn doors. Leave the lights off because obviously, obviously, even if you're here, the lights are off. Inside your head, what do you mean you're really not open? Geez rop inside your head. Sadly, this is the world we live,

and we have to joke about it because otherwise we'd cry. I choose not to. I choose not to participate most of the time. Yea, fair enough, And speaking of crying, yeah, they're the segue uh, this morning you were coming in I would say roughly three by three on a nineteen fifty six Gretz from West Pale in Germany. This is a non export radio, so it was built in Germany, or would have been in West Germany then I guess. And it's a wonderful AM shortwave and FM radio.

The FM only goes up to one hundred instead of one o eight, because that's how they did it in Europe in those days. They just rolled a little differently. It's got a magic ittube which looks like a couple of curtains that open and close. Oh that's cool. Cool design from them, it really is. And the problem I'm having, and the reason why you were a three x three and out of five by five is because I need to align this but unfortunately, being a non export unit, it is this particular

model being known as the Comedia. Isn't that fitting? I have the service information, but it's all in German and I don't speak German. But luckily the Internet exists, so thankfully I can plug in the information for aligning the radio, which is what it means, and it tells me to connect half of a crocodile to the cheesecake button and encourage massive financial trajectory with obsolete tools. Why don't you just one word, babbel, We're doing it effectively right

here. Geez. I think I'll just turn those screws until it gets louder and see how that goes for me. All right, Yeah, call us back when you get to five by five, Okay, Rick, I will do. And by the way, we are in the path of totality, and now that I know what that means. And Marie said, seriously, you don't listen to anything other than Gary Jeff, Really, is that what's going on? Well, I mean I apparently I did did tell you about the path of totality for April eight, and we hope to see you on

the eighth. Indeed, well, if we don't go in Trenton, Ohio, apparently the mayor there is doing a mass marriage at the point of the the total solar eclipse, and Christa talked about renewing our vows. If we don't do that and fight those crowds, we'll be happy to drive to Indianapolis and spend the afternoon with you and Marie. If you'll have us, just let us know we'll have you and also just wanted to say I really enjoyed the call on Wednesday on the other station, but I think your stick about

the your car needs and updated extended warranty. I think that kind of went on too long. I don't know what you're talking about. I was on your reserve list for a call in. I'm pretending that a telemarketer called and I thought it was you. Okay, I got it now, Thanks Dave. If you'd like baseball and not funny if you If you get a chance and you want to get in touch with mister Washburn, try Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com. Thank you. Thirties only warming to the mid to

That's you know what, that's the guy. That's the kind of guy UK needs. They need somebody who actually can coach a team and get them places in the postseason as opposed to what they currently have. So you think Cali Perry's out, Oh, I don't

think he's out. I think he's gonna He's gonna limp by. I know a lot of Kentucky fans are calling for his head, and I think rightly so. But anyway, please continue.

In case anyone cares, the whoa whoa, you have the Cyclones winning the national championships. I do. Yeah, Yeah, they're very good. They plays very solid defense.

hundred perfect brackets. Yep. And so I mean less than two percent of the brackets were still intact after Thursday's action. So it's got to be minuscule. Now, Oh yeah, it's it's dwindle down to nothing. Now I think there's I don't think there's any left at this point, and you still have Iowa State is taking it all on your bracket.

Many of you have asked about our friend Steve Frommettna, as you may know because he asked me to tell you a few weeks back. Steve has been in the hospital dealing with some issues with his gut, and I got an email from him yesterday at Gary Jeff Walker at seven under WLW

dot com. Gary Jeff got home from the hospital late Thursday. Not to go into gory detail, not too much energy, Thankful it could have been much worse, and in true pithy style, he said, I could be John Caliperi. God bless all of you for your prayers. He writes, We all knew I had pancreatic cancer right off the bat, but didn't anticipate all of the scopes in a day surgeries, which went fine. This has

made me appreciate so many people who have it so much worse. Here I am lying in a hospital bed, and I see some gentlemen up at Indian Lake whose wife just got out of the hospital and then died in the tornado. And then there are the veterans in gold Star families. I am one lucky son of a gun, a lot luckier than lou Gerrig. The roadback is challenging, but I'm anticipating getting back on the air in April. Steve. Keep the prayers coming for Steve. He's been a welcome part of this

program. For a long even before he started calling in with some of his commentaries on Saturday mornings, he was writing these wonderful, what I call pithy emails about current events, news of the week, so brilliant and just I miss him a lot, and I'm sure many of you, in fact, you've expressed me that you miss hearing Steve. I'm in from at in Ohio,

and keep them coming because he is on the road to recovery. On the way back earlier, I was talking about Kate Middleton's public statement about having cancer after not being seen for a couple of months, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Kate Middleton or cancer. It does have to do with the royal family. And Dennis p emailed me and said after we I just had mentioned the news story because apparently it's a big story because a royal has

cancer. The liberal media just swoon over the royal family. I'm just waiting for them to ask the King when he is going to hire a DEI officer. Not a ton of diversity going on. Lol. Oh it's Megan Markle, but she pretty much has segregated herself away from the family, so you're right, Not a whole lot of diversity there. I've never understood the fascination with the British Crown, with the monarchy, the Royal family. I've never

understood. Even when Princess die was a worldwide celebrity, my opinion was always, yeah, okay, that's nice. Who cares? She does great charity work, wonderful, She's got plenty of time to do that. On the dole of the British family and the British people, the people who pay the taxes that keep this thing afloat, this outdated, antiquated political system where they don't really have any power. They just suck off the teat of public money.

That's what the Royal family is. That's what they do. And people just they come into a room and they come on TV and everything just stops. It's one of the royal family. Oh my god, the queen died. Yeah, people do that. Oh my god. Megan Markle has been allowed into the family. No, she's not allowed into the family. All of the garbage that goes along with the cult of personality in our society these

days actually sickens me. Not because they're getting attention I think I should be getting, but because they're getting attention that no one else gets and they do absolutely nothing other than be born to get it. It's ridiculous. Didn't we fight like a bloody seven year battle to break free of the tyranny of the British crown back when it actually had some power? So why are we sucking up to it now? And again, this has nothing to do with Kate

Middleton or cancer or cancer patience. I think she did a good thing knowing that so many people pay attention to the royal family for no reason, in coming out and saying, if you're suffering with what I'm suffering, you're not alone and we can have solidarity. That's a great thing. But the fact that the whole world stops and it's a major news story for whatever, more than the twenty four to seven news cycle, is utterly ridiculous. There's no

point in it, There's no reason for it. Why are we constantly just stepping and fetching to people that we are ancestors our forefathers fought to get rid of two hundred and fifty years ago. I mean, come on, give it up already. It's like any other cult to personality celebrity thing in this country and again, you can do what you want to with your time, and you can pay attention to whatever you want to, but don't expect me

to care other than to give a diatribe on the radio about it. I guess it's enough that I can talk about it in demeaning terms, so it must be that important to me. It's not really, And that's the whole point. Food for thought. Don't choke on it. Right a breaking back. It's six fifty two, it's seven utter WLD. It's time to get a headstart on spring cleaning. Get rid of all the dart and grime this winter brought to your floors, keep your family healthy, and make your carpet

happy again. Here's a hack to make your life easier. We have regularly occurring people and segments, as you know if you listen it on. They're Day from Harrison and Gang from Ripley, there's mo Egger. There's so many mores, you think, but the one not constant is usually the person who sits in the producer's chair. I've been doing this show for twenty seven years and I think we've had total about thirty or thirty one so called regular producers,

who then are gone in a couple of months. And I've detailed this many times before and I don't want to bore you with it again, but we have a new guy sitting in Sean McMahon on, you went to great links to prepare for this three and a half hours this morning and calling from all of the great minds and other minds who I'm not going to make the value judgment on in figuring out what we do here. You told me just a little while ago you got notes from Elliott, who was like two producers

ago. Yeah, he left probably in about April or May of last year. He's been gone for a while, but yeah, I borrowed notes from him that were forwarded to me by the great Alex Egan, who's here every once in a blue moon. Yes, so I actually got some notes. Elliott's notes are It's like an English paper. There's paragraph after paragraph detailing everything. It's great, it was perfect. It did everything I needed. So

I made my own little cheat sheet. I just simplified it down so I wasn't having to read an entire English paper to find every little detail I needed. Liam didn't give you notes, you know, he's been the regular producer now for quite. Did Liam help you at all? Did? I called him yesterday and he helped me out a little bit. But we got to check on him because that that Kentucky loss might be hurting him a little bit.

Did he did he seem like he was stoned? To you? Perhaps it sounded like it a little bit, But I mean even even when he's sober, he sounds like he's stoned a little bit. That's his demeanor. Oh No, that's his charm. You're right, that is his charm. I tell you what. I just appreciate your effort this morning. The sports sounds wonderful and you're doing a great job so far. We'll get the report card finished by nine o'clock. Okay, I'm excited. Yeah, Jim in

Southgate real quick? What's on your mind? My friend? Hey, jar Ja, how you doing this morning? I'm good man? How are you all right? Hey? First, I want to thank you for your tribute to Greg Girth last week the other week, you know, yeah, and my thoughts and prayers go out to Steven Eaton and Kate Princess, you know, Princess Kate, whatever you know. I wanted to remind you though, as far as workplace, hazards. I remember the time you were stuck in

an elevator. Oh geez, I'm doing a show for the from the elevator. Yeah, you remember that, right, it was it was it was myself, Jim Lebarbara and my wife Chris to two point zero and we were stuck in the elevator from like eight thirty five until the end. We didn't get out of there until like nine to thirty. And it took the Sycamore Township Fire Department in the elevator company to free us from our prison. See, yeah, you got you aways, make you aways. Make a smile

in the morning. Well it's good. Good to know that you're there, y. Yeah. And if you need a producer, I think i'd last at least a week, you know, which is about which is about the average time that they last. Jimmy, take care ins. You top out in the upper forties today before you warm back up to the mid fifties on your Sunday. From you of your weather station, I'm nine first Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW thirty five degrees. Right now at

seven oh five, I'm Sandy Collins. Update. It's seven thirty on News Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day, News Radio seven hundred w l W into another hour the Saturday morning edition for this Saturday, March twenty third, twenty twenty four. Gnory, Jeff Walker, that's me, you are you, and that's fine with me. That's just the way I want it. So don't change a thing. Don't change your hair for me, not if you care for me. My funny Valentine, it's time to

talk to environmental engineer Steve Shulty about the real climate news. I see trees so great resist, I see them blue fowing you, and I'm into myself. What a wonderfo Thank you, sach moo, mister Sheltz, good morning, Good morning, Jeff, Yes, sir, So what do we what do we? What do we have this morning? Mister Shilty. Well, once again another episode of scientific education, not in doctrination. First first up from this week, Sea Fact and others coalition are bringing suit to protect the

endangered right whales from Virginia offshore wind boondoggle. That's my word. Sea Fact, the Art Institute, and the National Legal and poly Center are taking legal action to protect the endangered Right whales and other marine life from the Biden regimes rushed to approve massive clusters and wind farms along the Virginia shores. Gary Jeff, I'm may be aware that the right whales have been washing up on the east coast at increasing rates in recent years, ever since construction began on those

wind f arms. Yeah, and so there's a lot of questions. The question is are you are these massive wind turbans And it's not the wind turbin is being installed, it's the sounding and whatnot that's going on to explore the uh the Steve Ford. So the question is are these issues having any issue with the marine animals? Someone just we're just asking the question. But of course our government watchdogs don't want to know and are rushing to approve these wind

turbans, skipping due diligence that the law requires. So of course, you know, if it if it's to your liking, you just ignore the law. So the law lawsuits going to demand offshore be halted until research is done to ask to answer the question using good science, is it or is it not an issue for the right Well, well, Steve what always kind of

just trips me up on this is the hypocrisy. The same people who are claiming that we need these wind farms, we need solar fields, we need to do anything but fossil fuels, and in the name of protecting the environment. And then when they wind up destroying the environment at twice the rate with the mining of coalbalt, lithium, whatever the minerals that it costs for the electric batteries, wind farms cause it wreaking havoc with not only whale population perhaps,

but birds for sure. They are nothing but giant bird killers for very little back as far as the energy that's released from them. The solar panels, which need to stretch out about the size of the city of Houston to power the city of Houston. I mean, if Houston relied, Houston, Texas relied on solar panels for their energy, there would have to be a solar panel on every building, every block of Houston just to keep the lights

on. That's a fact. So the people, the people who claim that this is all about the environment, which it is not, as we pointed out time and time again, are the same ones that will risk doing more damage to the environment than fossil fuels ever could that's right, and what's interesting, Not only do you have the crony crap lists who are backing these kind

of projects. Of course they want to cash in on the government mandates and subsidies paid by you and I. The so called green movement is fully behind us, Gary Jeff, and they're willing to destroy nature instead of saving it, Gary Jeff. Oh what environmental organization got it start many decades ago saving whales from whale ships? Green Peace? I guess who's missing from this coalition?

Green Piece Piece is missing? You know, green Peace long ago its soul for money, and that's why when doctor Patrick Moore, co founder of Greenpeace, left them in nineteen eighty, you will not see doctor Patrick Moore on their website as its co founder because they've just become nothing more than a money machine. No, I've talked to Pat, I've interviewed Patrick Moore a couple of times, and it's not that he left Green Pieces and they left

him left him. You know, that's it? Anything else? Yeah, just released yesterday for free viewing a new movie from seer two Coalition Climate The movie. It runs an hour twenty minutes. I haven't had a chance to look at it again or just released yesterday. You can go to www. Dot climatethemovie dot net. That's Climate Themovie one word dot net and you can view the film interviews a number of prominent scientists, including doctor William Happer.

We just talked about doctor Patrick Moore and doctor John Klauser, who's the twenty twenty two Nobel Prize winner in physics. So, needless to say, the film exposes the climate alarm is an invented scare without any basis immeasurable facts and science, all right, and so I'm looking forward to seeing it and hopefully report on what I see on a future episode. I'm trying to line up, but I'm trying to line up doctor Gregory Wrightstone for the Nightcaps this week

to talk about that and much more. Thank you so much, mister Shilty. As always good information as opposed to all of the propaganda that's out there everywhere. Seven to twelve, that's seven hundred WLW. Listening to a hiker in the woods isn't funny. Listening to a hiker run for their life after trying to get a selfie with a grizzly is funny. Any and rocky are all funny. So when you think of a moron who's about to get more. Think of Eddie and Rocky. Eddie and Rocky. Monday afternoon at three

on seven hundred WLW. I'm Tiffany. I have some tips for you on how to quit smoking like I did. First, I did some reading about it. I found a lot of great advice on how to quit smoking and picked out the ways I thought would work best for me. I started by setting a quit date. Then I threw out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I did other things too, like exercising more, and it

worked, but I'd still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help me with that, I put a picture of my mother in my car. She died of lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a sixteen year old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds me that I don't want to miss all the things my daughter is going to to do in her life, including turning seventeen. You can quit for free help call one eight hundred quit Now a message from the US Department of Health

and Human Services and CDC. And this guy always wants to get physical. He's such a brute fitness trainer and biohacker Roco Costellano on a Saturday morning. Hey, let's get physical, Rocos seven seventeen. We're talking about sour dough bread, one of my favorite things in the whole world, and it's actually can be good for you, right well, Gary, Jeff, it can be very good for you. And because our food supply is actually garbage.

So when you can talk about good things like sour dough bread, I'm very you know, I'm very know, I'm happy about it. It's so a salad though bread if most people don't know, it's a much much healthier source of your carbohydrates. And the reason why is because it's way it's way lower

in a gluten and gliadin. It's also made with wild yeast and not the bakers or the commercial a yeast that most of bakers use, and and it's it's usually made with with a much h taller and a much harder wheat because the American dwarf wheat that most breads made out of is it just beats up your gut and salur though actually, because it is a fermented it it tends to be much less uh less harsh on your gut. It actually helps,

uh with the bio with the bioavailability of minerals like calcium and magnesium. So and and if people do have a gluten sensitivities because not everyone's uh, you know, got celiacs, but because of the American dwarf wheat that's out there and the GMOs and and and all that, most people have a gluten and gliadin uh a sense of you know, a sensitivity. So and and actually a solid though bread you can make it a lot of people think that it's

so much harder to make at home because you need the starter. You gotta feed the starter, you gotta discard and all that. But you know, once you actually do it, it's a very very easy of bread to make. Well, I mean, once you got the starter, the starter can last one hundred years, right, Well a buden you know, like the very popular San Francisco based Asudo company. Every single loaf of bread comes from or is a descendant of the first starter made one hundred and fifty years ago.

There you go, it's a good idea. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Check out train with roco dot com to learn more. Thank you, Rock, we appreciate that time. Now for the Tom Davis Diaries. I like to refer these as the man Tom Davis stopping in again on a Saturday morning with the wild, wonderful, wacky news stories from across the world and across the country. And here he is. Good morning, Gary, Jeff this week. If you're going to scam the insurance company, you need to

think it through. But first, doctor saved a man's life by removing a foot long eel from his guts. He thought he would swallow it and all would be well, but after intense stomach pain, he drove himself to the hospital. One of the nurses said that, and this is a quote, it looked like a Sigourney Weaver movie when they were taking it out. Assistant Glitch had a bank in Ethiopia led to a bunch of people withdrawing a bunch of money that they didn't actually have in their accounts. In total, forty

million dollars was withdrawn in a single day. The bank is now tracking customers down one by one to recover their lost funds. So a lady in the UK who was married to a cop had her credit card stolen, but this cop didn't actually go after the thief because the thief was spending less than his wife was. The officer was monitoring the spending and realized, hey, this dude was saving him money. But the cop is now in trouble with the

credit card company for not reporting it. And finally, speaking of scammers, this dude is absolutely He faked frostbite to get a payoff from the insurance company. He subjected his legs to dry ice for ten hours, resulting in a double amputation. The insurance company paid out one point two million dollars, but investigators wondered why his frostbite was symmetrical, so they started looking into it. Sure enough, he was caught. He lost his legs, he lost the

money, and now he lost his freedom. Next time, the good people of Mississippi flee when a truck cauling bees overturns in town. Have a great weekend. When do you like to listen to Scott's loan?

That song came out was a hit, first top twenty hit for the guys, and that that provided the template for the future Temptations songs

and that featured. Matter of fact, the song was written by Smokey Robinson and Bobby Weiser's are the Miracles when they were on tour. This word box and they're going back and forth, goof and up uh, doing these lyrics back and forth, and it became the first big hit for the Temptations. David Ruffin was on the album, but that that was the great voice of the falsetto voice of the Eddie Kendricks on the record, and the lyrics are

just outstanding romantic poetry. Maybe not Shakespeare, but very effective. To go to smile so bright, even though you could have been a candle. Oh, you know, Shakespeare's overrated. Up next, we want to defeat the wicked picket. Let's get it. Let's get wicked. Yeah, this guy, I said, wicked. How did you get the name wicked? What he said?

He would have celebrated the birthday on Monday. That's why we're talking about him. Great songs. I mean, he grew up in the streets of Detroit

That's where he learned his style, that cashmate style that he had told me, he said, you know, the first group that he was with that really being the noise was the Falcons, he said, we were based in Dayton. In Dayton in nineteen fifty nine was Eddie Foyd the group, and he wrote a song called I Found the Love and it's like this kind of crazy because he suffered from alcoholism and cocaine addiction,

and Little Richard loved him. He was good friends of Little Richard and he gave the eulogy and his histreuneral Now this is a song that Dyke Christian did with Dyke in the Blazers.

They had five top ten hits including Stop, Look, Listen, You're Everything, bet You By, Golly Wild, break Up the Makeup, and You

Make Me Feel Branded. This song, this was just outstanding. Linda Creed wrote the song and she did. I felt brand new when I wrote the song because she was engaged, very giddy about it. Every line she wrote. You jump up and say I loved it, I love it, and I love you. Got married in nineteen seventy two and then the next year this song was a nice wedding gift for her. Climbs to the number two on the charts in nineteen seventy four, a romantic ballad. He feels blessed,

rejuvenated by this woman, how much she means to him. And this was the very first Kay Jeff. This is the first popular full song that led to the emergence of that client storm format where you didn't have emotional lyrics, the sensuous arrangements, sexy sound, seductive music. And this is the only ballistic song which Russell Thompkins Judi, you have the lead singer shares the lead with every young love. Oh, there you go, you make me

I'll never find the words my love to tell you how I feel my love. Mere worlds could not explain precis for you, hold my life with in your hand, created everything. I taught me how to leave again.

The stylistic you are you are everything, you are everything and everything is you. Yeah, break up to make up, Yes to make up? And

it was it was all that signature sound though. I mean, the songs all sounded very, very similar because but they were such signature sounds for that particular period of popular music. We are up to the we're up to the last song on the list this week, and uh, you know this is where the this is where the sopranos ended in that in that diner. Yeah, you're right. Hey, Forbes came out with an announcement this week and a lot of people in the business were very surprise. We have officially a

new song. Officially record's been declared, The song's been declared the biggest song, the biggest song of all time. Eighteen times platinum certified single. Song became the best selling digital track from the twentieth century with over seven million downloads. Didn't say record, they said song. So the biggest song of all time by Forbes, and it belongs to a group that in nineteen eighty one

didn't hit the top five. He went on number nine journeys Don't Stop Believing, which is a lot of people are surprised about this, but you know, if you go back literally everywhere you went since the nineteen eighties on the radio, every car you've ever owned, every major sporting event, you've heard this song Don't Stop Believing. And Steve Perry who wrote the song, said, you know, I always thought it was a hit with live audiences. He said, we know that, and it didn't get great radio play when

it came out, but somehow just hung around forever. And that lyric is such a strong lyric. Garry Jeff, you know, we were reminded about how good it was when the Code did thing hits. It's all about having hope, not quitting when things get tough, because things do get tough for everybody. In this song twenty twenty was like an ansom on the anthems we

COVID nineteen and I'm surprised. I was very surprised that it's like the biggest, the biggest song of all time that's certified by the Recording Industry Association in America. Doesn't get any better than that. No, I don't believe so. And I remember I remember the first time I played this on the radio, and it was one of the first times I ever played a CD on the radio was from this Journey album Don't Stop Believing. Let's Crank it up.

Yes, as a night scientists, it's surprising A bell blinded me with good morning, Michael, how are you? I'm doing great? You doing

doing fine? I think that keepsake. Kim finally has the book, the Anniversary Book together and I'll have to. I'll have to show you once once we get that, if there's an opportunity to get together and do that, I think we're going to have to have an anniversary book signing party at Huddles and have everyone who is there for the anniversary comment. And there's actually she's including an extra page in the back for signing purposes so that we can sign

better than the shirt. Well no, no, I didn't even know what was happening with that shirt. That was a Pasqually brother thing that they were just passing around this shirt having everybody signed, but well, the book's all was so cool. And Kim Rice, God bless her. She does this out of the goodness of her heart because she and her husband Bruce listen to the program and that she does wonderful pictures of everybody who's there. She does

wonderful pictures period. That's her job with Keepsake Photography. But she puts together this book every year when we have the anniversary party for the Saturday morning edition, and it's pictures of everybody who's there, you know, as best she can figure out names of people, which is hard for me even but you were prominently featured. I believe in several shots, and it was always it's

always good to see it. But I usually see you once a year, so I'll swing by, okay, all right, all right, so what do you got this morning? Michael uh the Shawn McMahon. Don't take any uh uh picks from Elia though he left the law notes, but don't don't go against don't use any of his uh work A team picks, right, no kidding, This guy who's a you know, a borderline degenerate gambler,

cannot get a game to save his life. But the picking My first pick was, uh was Dan Canyon. My second pick was was Yale, and I picked James Madison and uh what else? Did I pick? Oregon? So I picked some winners. That's very nice. Usually when usually when I pick winners, I've got to wash my hands immediately afterwards. All right, let's see here, We've got something coming up between now in September. We

don't know exactly when, but it's all once in a lifetime event. And it's not the eclipse obviously, it's we have we are going to see an actual nova occur in the sky. So what's going to happen? Three thousand light years away in the constellation Corona Borealis. There are two stars that are

circling each other. One is a yellow super giant that's spewing out healium and hydrogen, and right next to it is a white dwarf called t Corona Borealis, and are spinning around each other and the gas, the gas that is spewing is getting absorbed onto the white dwarf with a lot of gravity. And once it gets all this gravity, this healium and everything accumulated, it's what

they call recurring novae, and it's going to explode again. And last time Kurt was nineteen forty six, So it's going to occur this year exactly where. But it's in the constellation Corona Borealis, and that's up but in the northern hemisphere, so we'll have a good view of it. And it's going to be as bright as the northern as the north star Polaris. Oh no, kidding. The way, yeah, the way you're gonna kind of the way you find it. If you follow the handle the big Dipper has a

little little arc to it, you know. Yeah, if you follow the handle, the arc down, follow the arc down, you'll find a star called our tourists. It's pretty bright and it's going to be up to the left of that, so you got two or three it's only going to be invisible for like three or four days, so it's going to be uh, you know, it could be could be during our show time, It could you know, some sometime between now and September. This is set down.

Yeah, yeah, well hopefully uh, hopefully getting warmer weather and better better viewing will won't be obscured by clouds or anything like that. But we'll have a heads up on that by the bye. Where are you planning on? Uh? If you are planning on viewing the total solar eclipse, Well, I got two locations based on the weather. So I'm either going to go up to actually what ok Harbor? Who's the guy from Oh, there's Tim

Schimming from ok Harber that there's my friend farmer Dan Jensen there. My friend Doug Bonnson who's in UH, who's in Ripley and was on the air this morning, is graduate of Oak Harbor High School. So so I'll either be going up there, I'll be going out to Uh. A friend has a place in Brookville, so I might might might go out there. So depending on the weather, so north or north or west? What are the other?

All right, Michael, have a good weekend. We'll talk to you next Saturday, seven hundred w l W. Did you know that if you miss any part of our shows, you can catch the podcast of that show on the iHeartRadio app. Did you also know that Canada eats more macaroni and cheese than any other nation? We need to fix that, so listen to our podcast, have some mac and cheese, and let's beat those Canadians. Everybody you s A U S A U s. Yeah. If you look

under your bed, find stuff under there? What about jobs? No? Now, try your basement. There's a pair of overalls that overall you're not so into anymore, a perfectly good laptop that hasn't sat in your lap in months, and even more stuff but still no jobs. Well you really have both. See stuff is defined as household articles considered as a group. Sometimes

this stuff is no longer needed. Wait, no longer needed. That can't be right, because remember those jobs you were looking for, Those are really needed, and they're the stuff inside your stuff, even inside that winter code that moved with you to Phoenix. Our job is to unlock those jobs, and it starts when you donate your stuff to your local Goodwill. Here's how we do it. When you donate to Goodwill, we sell your stuff to

provide job training for people right here in your community. So just by teaming up with Goodwill, you help create jobs. And isn't that worth parting with the leftover key tar from your eighties cover band? Goodwill? Donate stuff, create jobs. Find your nearest donation center at Goodwill dot org. A message from Goodwill in the ad Council. In this chaotic world, we try to

be positive wherever possible on this program. And one of the ways that I like to do that is bringing in my friend brother Rick Green, Spirit Works Cincinnati with a Bible verse from the Word of God, Light of Mine. I'm going to let it shine, light of mine. I'm going let it shine, mister, lot of mine. I'm going let it shine, shine it shine shine. Oh yeah, by the way, hello to uh brother brother Ray. Scott is at exit thirty eight on I sixty five. We

know what that means. Christ to two point oh and I so good to hear from you, brother Ray. Now, brother Rick Green, good morning, how are you my friend? Good morning Gary I'm doing good. I just got down praying for you and your list. Nurse. Thank you need it every day, every day, every day. And we're coming from the Book of Luke today, Gary, after one birth forty nine. It's a short birth, but I love it. It says for the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is his name. I love that.

You know, we've been studying Luke at the church where Christ and I have been attending, and you know it's leading right up to you know, obviously Palm Sunday tomorrow and Passover in Easter. It's such an important time for all

of mankind. I mean, even if you're even if you're not a Christian, which I highly recommend, even if you're not a Christian, Jesus still died for your sins too and defeated death and rose from the grave and means that the rest of us can look forward to the same future if we believe and follow. But then it's wonderful. By the way, we've been doing a podcast Rick and I have been called but God, and you can find

it on YouTube. If you look Rick Green on YouTube and Spirit Works Cincinnati, you should be able to find those podcasts We've done three episodes and hope to do another one tomorrow afternoon. All right, Rick, hey man, thank you Gary for always loving on me and my family. You really bless us. Well, You're easy to love my friends and plus you know, if I'm a Christian, I'm commanded to do it anyway. Have fun, Rick, Thanks Bobby and Cincinnati. You wanted to say something about the eclipse.

Bobby, Good morning, Gary, good morning. You wanted to say something about the eclipse? Right, Yeah, yeah, I didn't. I had a question. Maybe someone can maybe call in later if they have a good idea on that. But I live in Centerville, heading down Tennis. I saw the eclipse in seventeen down there, which was amazing. I guess if you're going to live in Ohio the rest of your life, this is

your last chance. So I'm gonna go up to Wapakanetta. Some people may not know where that is, but it's a little place up northwest, a little bit, you know, straight north of Cincinnati, but home of you know, the Armstrong Museum up there, and prayers for them. I haven't checked in and see how they did with the tornadoes and all. But that's the that's on right, and pretty much in the direct past. Give you

a chance to watch the eclipse for a long time. Right. I have a girl Lis in Belle Fountain, which is not far from there, so I might set my telescope up there, which frees me, I guess. So my question, Gary is I've got an eight inch about sony in telescope. I've been trying to order solar filters and I'm going to still one place didn't have them. After I ordered them, they said, hey, there

was a problem with it and we had to recall. And so I'm thinking, why don't I just get a mil ar balloon and tied around the end of my telescope. Hmmm, that's an interesting that's an interesting idea. Well, if science Mike is still listening, maybe he will call back and I will get you some response, thank you very much. Just get one that says happy birthday. Nobody will be the wiser. Twenty minutes after the hour, Well, this morning, at nine, Mike Allen bites the latest wave

of ridiculousness with karate like discipline on seven hundred WLW. Steve here from USA. Insulation. Is your home already insulated, but insulated poorly? Don't go through another cold winner like that. It's going to be a chilli and windy one out there today. We're starting off in the low thirties only warming to the mid to upper forties. Much better for your Sunday topping out in the mid fifties. Form a severe weather station. I'm nine first Warning Meteorologist Cameron

Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW. Seven hundred WLW sport here. He is a substitute teacher, not throwing spitballs at Sean McMahon. We got UC basketball still in the nit Yes, sir, second round of the n I T for the UC Bearcats. They host the Bradley Braves at two o'clock. Pregame begins here at one thirty on seven hundred WLW nowhere Bradley plays their home games. I have no idea Peoria, Illinois. I don't even know where that is, and if it's a pretty large town in the middle of the

state. Man, I've been to Illinois one time in my life. I was in Springfield a couple of years ago. That's the only time I've ever been there. And the way the government is in Illinois, you don't really in fact, driving to Missouri or Iowa. I try and find a way

around Illinois anyway. Yeah, that happens, and there's Reds baseball too, so that'll start on another station, and then at the conclusion of the UC Bradley game, then we'll have Reds here on seven hundred correct, so three thirty pre game for Reds on WSAI also known as Fox Sports thirteen sixty first pitch at four oh five pm. At the conclusion of UC against Bradley, Wow will pick up coverage of that game and the Reds against the Rockies and

Fantastic and full slate of NCAA games here in the round of thirty two today. Yeah, we got Dayton playing Arizona, go Flyers. Flyers, Gonzaga takes on Kansas, Michigan State takes on North Carolina, sort of a battle of the out of a second. Did you see that call at the end of the Kansas game. Oh, it was

terrible. Yeah, that was that was bat I'm surprised that's not something they can review. I thought that was something they could reveal. They review everything else. Yeah, I mean they stopped play in a game I was watching yesterday to review and wound up calling a foul that they never called in the in the middle of the You know, it's just it's ridiculous. But anyway, I digress. Please go ahead, we got Yeah. So, Michigan

State takes on North Carolina at five thirty. Iowa State takes on Washington State, my national champion in my bracket. Iowa State Cyclones take on Washington State at six' ten. NC State takes on Oakland the Horizon League champion Oakland Golden Grizzlies at seven to ten. Tennessee takes on Texas to battle for who the real ut is in this country, and Illinois takes on Ducaine at eight forty PM and a capitol off. Oregon takes on Creighton at nine forty.

All right, fantastic, thank you sir. It's eight twenty six. Here's what's trending from the Iheartsports Network presented by DraftKings Fantasy Sports. All three of the number one seeds who were in action on Friday had moved on to the second round after Purdue beat Gramberg State. This Mount Stetson in Houston ran all over Longwood. Dayton opens up the second round of the NCAA tournament looking for a major upset of the number two seeded Arizona Wildcats and over in the NIT.

Following their buzzer beating win on Wednesday night, the UC Bearcats will be at home this afternoon against the Bradley Braves. I'm JD Hafrin sec out Good's not the big dance, but they're still dancing in the second round of the NIT. And I'll tell you what, this guy knows as much about that basketball team as anybody else because he's watched them all year. Moegar Round two of the NIT, and now the Bearcats face the behemoth Bradley Braves at Fifth

Third Arena. It's going to be colossal. How are you, hey, Mo, what's going on? I'm doing well. Yeah. So you're there at fifth Third today with the basketball Bearcats as they continue their run to possibly New York City, the Big Apple. Well, you're kind of right. The NIT semifinals, though, are not in New York this year. Uh, they're in Indianapolis. Iconic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Yeah, so starting last year.

Last year, the NIT Final Four was in Las Vegas. This year it's going to be in Indianapolis. And actually, there was a representative from the NIT at the game on Wednesday, and I asked her where's next year's Final Four going to be? And she said, I don't know, So I guess I could return to the Garden. But nonetheless, yes, the Bearcats have a chance to a dance today against the Bradley Braives, a rematch

of an iconic seven overtime game in nineteen eighty one. None of those players obviously will be on the court for that, but yes, that's that's a piece of history. I did not know. So excitement. Excitement abounds here on seven hundred WLW as the Bearcats continue their postseason run to Indy. And you know, the way things have been going to New York City, probably

better to happen in Indy anything. So I gotta ask you what's the health like of other Major League clubs as we come to the end of spring training as compared to the Reds. Do the Reds have more injuries per capita than most other ball clubs at this point. Boy, Joe doesn't it. I mean, you look at there's there's gonna be if you if you if you include Noelve Marte, who has popped eighty games for Beeds. That's one, two with Frayley, three with McLain, uh four or not Freeley, TJ.

Friedel McLain, Alex Young. I mean, there's Brandon Williamson, Nick Wodola will not start the season in the rotation. That's you lose count. That's six seven guys who you thought were going to be on the opening day roster. Now, other teams are dealing with injuries, but I'm not sure there's anybody who's had just this run of things happened to them. And you

know, there are always injuries that maybe linger from last season. Whi's been so bizarre about what's happened with the Reds is there's been injuries that have occurred in spring training games or in spring training workouts. And then you add to it Edwin Arroyo, who is you know, one of the best three or four prospects. He's going to miss the entire season, right which was going

to cause him a year of development. It's it's uncanny, and it does cut into the depths, and it does cut into the optimism that so many of us have felt about the team this year. I mean, is there a problem with the training staff or the medical staff. I mean, it just seems to me like the Reds almost every single year go into the opener and you know, the team that you expect to be on the field doesn't show up till like June. And it's not the first year this has happened.

Mo. It just causes me to ask some questions that maybe you're uncomfortable. You know what I mean. Well, t J. Friedel broke his wrist diving for a ball, I know, is that the trainer's fault. No, Matt mccleanin hurt his shoulder diving for a ball, is that the team doctor's fault Edwin Arroyo busted his shoulder diving back into a bag on a pickoff attempt. Is that the trainer's fault. I mean, I think that's a place that we've default to sometime, and it's I think usually dramatically unfair.

I think what's unfortunate is the manager of a team. Obviously, in this instance, David Bell is always the one that's kind of the press secretary for the club, and so on a daily basis, he's asked about injuries that he's probably not qualified to speak on. So what often happens is the manager will say something like, well, we don't think it's that big of a deal. We think it's going to be okay, and then it turns

out to be something worse, and I think that amplifies everybody's frustration. I think it would be best if if David just sort of punted on all injury related questions because he's qualified to speak on baseball matters, not medical matters.

But you know what we do this sometimes where we you know, if a team has a rash of injuries, we've got to blame somebody blame the fact that baseball players get injured playing baseball sometimes, you know, I mean, Aaron Judge has a Garrett Cole in New York, the reigning American League Cy Young warl where it's going to miss probably the first twelve weeks. Is that the fault of the Yankees team doctor or is it just think something that happens

and unfortunately, you know for the Reds it's happened here in waves. But again, baseball players get injured playing baseball sometimes Yeah, it just it just seems it seems to be one sided against one particular team, and they happen to play in Cincinnati their home games. That's all I'm saying. And maybe it would make a difference in the rehab of some of these injuries, you

know, like an oblique injury that last six months. But anyway, is it more difficult, even if you're at the most cunning of linguists, to pronounce Russian women's tennis names or to pick the NCAA tournament? What's more difficult? Have then tried to do both? I'll say pick the NCAA tournament winner. That that that has a degree of difficulty that I have have yet to consistently overcome, and so far this year is no exception. I thought Auburn

was going to go far in the n c Double A tournament. Didn't happen. I thought Kentucky from an offensive perspective, had a chance to go deep, and I still think they would have. They just couldn't guard anybody. I didn't think Kentucky was going to get to the final four. I did think they would be playing today. Not gonna happen. It's but it's it's what makes this event so awesome. It's the unpredictability. It's if they're not best of five or best of you know, the sports want and done.

You have a bad shooting night, you have foul trouble, or you have another team that just has figured out a way to game plan against you, or a guy that just goes on a roll. You get a result that's hard to predict. And that's that's what makes this event great. It's also if you're a fan of one of those teams that's out early. It's what

makes this event so frustrating. Well, Thursday, after Thursday's games, the NC double A of course coming out with I don't know who it was, is, ESPN, whatever, They had twenty two million brackets that were filled out and only eighteen hundred were intact after one day, one day. Isn't that nuts? That's crazy, It's insane. It's it's incredible, it's incredible. I'd like to know what that number is after two days. Uh yeah, but just one day having it cut down by twenty one million, nine

hundred and forty thousand to you know whatever, just astronomical numbers. Boy, somebody really wanted Kansas to win that game. And there's been a lot of talk about the officiating. You know, this is a showcase for officials all over the country who've been given the privilege of officiating the largest tournament in major college sports. And I just I don't know about some of these calls, man. And it's not ever one call that makes or breaks a game.

But if it's the end of the game and all of a sudden there is a phantom foul where no one is touched and that decides the game, as it did in the Kansas Sanford contest, did you see that? Did you see that it did? And what were your thoughts? Honest? Bad call? Bad call? Stanford was robbed. Yeah. I always ask this whenever

officiating comes up. It is is there a league right now where we would say, God, the officiating is really good, Because we're getting ready to start the baseball season here and uh, that's going to be six months of griping about home plate on fire. It's it's coming. NFL fans on a weekly basis seem to be disaffected by the league's officiating. NBA fans seem to

be unhappy with the league's officiating. As a college basketball fan, I could tell you there are times I find major issues with the officiating, including in that Kansas Stanford game. But is there a sports entity or is there a league where fans sort of all agree, you know what, the officiating is really really good. I don't think the answer is yes. I don't. I don't. I don't know that officiating now is any worse than it was thirty forty years ago. We just we have we have more info at our

disposal, we have more replay angles, we have more scrutiny. I think gambling legalization of gambling being so widespread has increased the amount of scrutiny on on officiating and umpire. I think that's fair. I mean, yeah, yeah, sure, no question. I don't. I don't know what the answer to that question is. Is there is there anybody who the officials on the sport they love the most as being on top of their game. My guess is the answer is no. So it is college basketball really that different than

any of the other sports? Is it different than pro basketball? Is it different than professional football? I don't think the answer is yes. Well, young Sean McMahon, who was engineering for me, producing for me this morning, says he has Iowa State going all the way? What are the odds? Pretty good? I think they were the best team that I watched in the Big Twelve. Now, Houston won the Big Twelve, but Iowa State hammered Houston in the Big Twelve title game on Saturday last week. I think

with Iowa State, and you can apply this to Houston as well. Speaking of officiating, you need the game officiated a certain way. I've always felt like, as good as Houston has been in recent years, because they're so physical, you need a crew in a big game that's going to let them play. I think Iowa State is sort of like that. But yeah, I think Iowa State to win the whole thing. They were the team that won the conference tournament of the best tournament in college basketball. So why not?

All right, one last thing here before we move along. What do you know about this Otani scandal? I know that I don't know enough. I know that it's complex and weird and bizarre and the antithesis of what baseball wanted. Right, If you're going to have a gambling scandal, it can't be involving your sports premier player in all likelihood. I don't know. I know it's not good. And I know it's going to raise a lot of questions about show hey Otani, whether someone is taking the fall for him,

and ultimately what the appropriate punishment should be. But this is a weird I asked this on the air on Thursday. How would you explain this story to someone who wasn't following it? And I don't know what the answer is. It is bizarre, but it ain't good. Well, maybe Otani needs to retire for a year the way Michael Jordan was forced to in nineteen ninety five by David Stern. Maybe that's what it's to happen. Okay, that's the answer. Have a good weekend. We'll be listening this afternoon. Moo.

Okay, thank you. Take care MO with the UC Bearcats and Mike Allen counselor how are you turn on Mike Mike's Mike Lee Just turn there we go. I'm doing great, all right. So, by the way, I just talked to my Congressman Thomas Massey, because he had put into the law that if there is no new budget by April thirtieth, all governmental departments had to be cut by one percent. I like that they came up with the

last minute deals. So that's dead, but it's still law and it'll go into effect next year if they start himming and hawn around and screwing with the American taxpayer like they always seem to and their constituents, the people that they work for, supposedly, but Thomas Massey had that put in and I asked him, said, does this budget deal mean that the one percent cut across the board is no longer effective? He said, it's dead, no longer

effective, but it's still in law for next year. That's what they really didn't want. Hey, you know what if they can't cut one percent, they can't. Something's wrong. No, because their idea is to spend all the money they have and all the money you have, and they'll just keep doing it and they'll keep kicking the can down the road. And it's all not all, but a good part of it is earmarks, little pet projects for all the congressmen. What are you coming the show today? Got a

lot on the show. You ever hear of Christine Blasi Ford geg, Yeah, I remember she's back in the news. I remember her more than she remembers anything. Well, that's the point. She's on a book tour now hitting all the cupcake talk shows and she she's making money on the book tour, going to talk about that, she's cashing in. Let me say three words, duty on her country? Did you hear about it? No longer in effect at West Point? Unbelievable. And I'm going to talk to Orlando

Sons at ten o'clock. You better and he's a former west Pointer. I'm gonna ask him about that. That's crazy. Also, Gary Jeff a west Side institution is turning ninety four this year, and that is Phillips Swim Club. I spent a lot of my misspent you there, so did a lot of west Siders. We're going to talk to doctor Jim Donovan. He's the president of the board there. It is now a nonprofit, but if you're from the West Side, you're from my generation or even close. It's a

big deal. And I'm looking forward to talking doing another West Side institution that I have some knowledge of. The crowsen Est will be turned next year, will be turning one hundred and thirty. You're kidding, I am not. I would not have guessed since eighteen ninety five. Baby Listen Saturday Midday Mike Allen coming up at next the after the show show at Huddles. See you there if you get a chance to get out and have a wonderful weekend.

Spring is right around the corner and the team over at West Shore Home is helping homeowners beat the remodeling rushing
