While we on the air, remember I think maybe last week the man before he was talking about the ground hogs. I told you on the phone, did you gone tell him how to fry a ground hogs? You'd cut it in if the baby's cut them in four quarters. I'll put salt pepper on dipping flour and fry like a chicken. He'll gold in brown. It's a big old grandpa grandfather groundhogs.
You know how?
You do the same thing.
Flour, salt, pepper and butter or whatever, brown and then put it in a crock pot for maybe eat three hours on high to make it far tender. But yes, you can eat groundhogs year round.
We froze them in.
The honey season and they ate them year round. Raccoons, Mama is baked them. She put sealy and onions and apples in their carcats, and then a green apple in his smile, and we had to look like a baked ub dog on the plat. She did the possums the same way, Salary and I is in green apples.
We need to do a whole cooking section here. Yeah, we did, We just did. Thank you, Mamma Tree. I'm gonna go catch me some groundhog. Now I know how to fix them. Oh God, Love, you will be picking Dick's brain. Next, it's the.

Jokes told by Day from Harrison are not necessarily considered funny by the staff, management or advertisers of seven hundred WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now back to.
Our first weekend of the new year, and the first weekend with a winter's storm watch warning. Whatever you want to know, all of these sirens are going off here starting tomorrow today, partly clouding on high at twenty nine. It'll be dry overnight Tomorrow morning's load to twenty and then on Sunday it just says winter storm begins. Heavy snow accumulates during the day, travel difficult. As much as a tenth of an inch of ice could be covering
either underneath that snow or on top of it. Either way, it's not good. Can't do anything with eye. Expected accumulations in our area five to nine inches, So prepare. It is seventeen now, it's seven hundred WLW.
I'm a firefighter, a teacher, I'm a farmer. I'm a barber, a waitress, a mom.
We're all part of your community. Every day we move in and out of each other's busy lives.
It's easy to take for granted all the little moments that make up our every day.
Some are good, others not so.
Much, but that's life.
It's when you experience a moment of uncertainty.
Something or someone's behavior that doesn't seem quite right.
These are the moments to take uponis because if something doesn't feel right, it's probably not.
It's not about paranoia or being afraid.
It's about standing up and protecting our.
Communities one detail at a time, because a lot of little details can become a pattern.
We we we.
We trust our instincts, just like you should.
Because only you know what's not supposed to be in your every day.
So protect your every day.
If you see something suspicious, say something to local authorities.
On the verge of our.
First winter storm, I thought a little beach boys would be nice at six sixteen?
Dude, doesn't that make you feel better?
You see the waves gently crashing to the sore the shore, not the sore the shore.
The beautiful new bile young thing in.
Her wet suit emerges from the water, walks right to your towel on the sand.
Makes me think of old radio Rick he'll know what.
That's wrong. Hey, wallet the beach, make sure not to forget to bring your Automatic Radio Manufacturing Company models six C sixty portable AM radio.
Okay, could you take could you take that to the beach?
You could. It's a it's a little portable. It's a made nineteen forty six. It's a five tube low power to radio, so the battery should last a little bit longer, and it uses one ninety volt battery and one six volt battery as a leather plastic case. It looks kind of like a little portable from the Philadelphia story.
I was just gonna ask about that.
That doesn't have a doesn't have a front cover though, but it is a similar design, which it was a reasonably popular design, but new in nineteen forty six that sold for thirty eight bucks, which is just over six hundred dollars today for a portable radio. Yeah, and AM only. But I'll have a couple of catalog entries and then one that'll go back to this particular model, which, by the way, you are coming in, I'll give it a generous four by four.
Okay, it's but.
Okay, so first of all, from the radio and television retailing magazine from the year prior. Here they are. Wow, okay, we're after good. It's a good start. Get a load of these first post war automatic radios. Now, first of all, just the brand name is false advertising. There's nothing automatic about these at all.
But yeah, the description is a load in a of itself.
Yeah, well, loan is in quotes, so maybe they were realizing that. I don't know why is that in quotes? Of course, these are only a few of the models that will be available to meet your customer's demands. Well, that didn't work out for them, but that's another story. A word to dealers. Get in touch with us right away. We will refer you to the jobber in your territory. Get set to sell automatic radio. I guess there was only one. That's kind of sad. So now to the
more customer based catalog entry. Powerful portable operates on batteries an AC DC current five tubes superheterodine with seven to two performance. Well that's a stretch, but that's the debate point. Large built in autometoscope loop, thank Heavens, and equipped with automatic patented battery rejuvenator increases the life of batteries two to three times normal. We'll listen be where I go
back to this particular model. We were wondering why the heck there were flame marks in the battery compartment where patteries are not nickel cadmium, they're not lead acid, they're not rechargeable, and they kids, if you've ever put a regular flashlight battery and a recharger, it may have worked fine, the battery may have got really hot, or you may have ended up having to throw the whole thing in the trash when it cooled off. Not a good idea. And they built it right into the radio.
So they built a charger.
Batteries on fire.
They built a charger into the radio, a charger which would actually set the radio on fire.
There's a potential for it. You know, those are not rechargeable batteries, but they put a charger to charge them.
Geez yep.
And they made a big deal about it, and they sent your lawsuit request to the following address.
And now we get to make a big deal of fun about it. Thank you so much, mister Washburn and stays. Are you guys supposed to get this winter storm in Indianapolis?
You're gonna miss it yet?
No, we're gonna get it in the farther south you go, the more you get, and it looks like in our area we're right on the borderline too. We're expecting right about the same amount that you are, six to ten inches.
Unbelievable. All right, we'll stay safe, my friend.
If you want to get in touch with y Washburn Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com.

River this morning. The gang at Brookie.
Saloon, good morning, good morning, good morning. So first and foremost, I know that the weather Rock has had an addition recently of the rockets, and which is right underneath the weather rock, the rockets, the Ripley Rockets, the Snappers rockets. And I understand that you guys are also under this winter storm morning tomorrow. So I want to emphasize it's going to be a beautiful day to day Chili, but a beautiful day, partly cloudy, partly sonny whatever, twenty nine for a high.
We've got nothing else to do.
Get out and drive to Ripley at some point today to main Street and check out the rockets before they're snowed over.
Is that good advice, Doug?
Yes, they must have had a heck of a time there in the last couple of days.
The rockets have just knocked the whole house down.
What happened?
They knocked the top off the house there, The whole weather Rock is on the ground. Everything it's it's just it's in bad need of maintenance. At the moment, we'll get buzzes nowhere to be found.
Well, is it is it?
Is it?
Is it just a weather situation? Or is it vandalism? Is somebody hearing us talk about weather Rock and the rock cats and purposely screwing up this landmark, this this major tourist attraction in Ripley in Brown County.
I mean it's a terrorist in that maybe, well, I don't know about.
It was a terrorist wind that came up the river.
How many rocks were killed?
No man, Actually the house fell off to the left of the rockets.
So everything's okay, they're fine.
But yeah, but I'm worried the rock cats are going to freeze their pebbles off.
Now.
You know, well that could happen in this kind of forecat, in this kind of forecast, you could easily have your rocks freeze their pebbles off. Yes, my personally, personally, I'm covering my pebbles.
Oh good, that's a good thing. Hey, listen, speaking about our friend Dick. You know, I've been praying for Dick for a long time.
I pray for all you've.

So yes, we're.
At seventy and eighty.
Eight day, seventy at night. I agree, I.
Agree, have a great time.
See you guys. I'm writing them six forty five on a Saturday morning again on the precipice of this major weather event. Supposedly, how many times have they been wrong in the past. Unfortunately, I don't think they're wrong this time. But we shall see, we shall see, and we will get through it all together. Right now, time for a fifty phone called News of the Week commentary. But my friend Steve Simon and at in Ohio, and here we go.
Good morning, Gary, Jeff.
Let's try to give the fascinating history of w l W in the allotted time, I think, of course, of Wendell L. Wilkie, the nineteen forty Republican candidate for President of the United States. Wilkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, just northeast of Indianapolis, in eighteen ninety two. Perhaps because both his parents were attorneys, Wendell was a fairly wild child who pretty much thought he could get away with anything. Mom and dad then sent him to a military academy, which toned him down a.
Little bit, but not much.
He read Marx in high school and petitioned for a course in socialism as an undergrad at Indiana University. His law degree with the Hunters from IU was held up when he openly criticized the school's curriculum, but the lawyers eventually relented. He made his mark as an attorney representing public utility companies in Ohio and Tennessee, so he generally
liked the New Deal socialism. During the FDR years, he fought to have the utilities, not the government, control the Tennessee Valley Authority Program, which brought rural electrification to the mid South. Despite ruffling the feathers of President Roosevelt in the process, and running for president in nineteen forty against FDR.
Both men respected each other's views on international relations. In nineteen forty two, and thus, right in the middle of World War II, FDR encouraged a seven week fact finding world trip for Wendell Wilkie, who visited thirteen countries and logged thirty thousand miles. He spent a good deal of that time in China and Russia. Russia had been communists for a quarter century, but China would still be free until their civil war wrought Marxism in nineteen forty nine.
But in nineteen forty two, Wilkie said, quote, the Chinese want to be free, and they want to free Asia. Okay, you got that one wrong. But he got to see communism in force in Russia, and he was not impressed, except to point.
Out that with both the schools.
And the press under government control, Russia was a force to be reckoned with sounds strangely like us. His book describing what he learned on that trip was called One World, and it is still considered must reading in international relations. Wilkie was an internationalist, while other top dogs in the Republican Party at the time, like Bob Taft of Ohio, he was an isolationist, and Tom Dewey of New York, a so called non interventionist, would dominate the party in
the forty four and the forty eight elections. Started out as a Democrat, much like future presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. One of the many things that soured him on Democrats was his experience in the nineteen twenties with the influence of the ku Klux Klan at Democrat national conventions. In nineteen twenty four, he proposed kicking the KKK out of the national convention.
He failed.
Interestingly enough, his hometown of Elwood, Indiana, was a hotbed of plan activity in the nineteen twenties. But in nineteen forty three and one World he wrote this, and this is a quote, the attitude of the white citizens of this country toward the Negroes has undoubtedly had some of the unlovely characteristics of an alien imperialism. He was referring to Japan, a smug superiority, a willingness to exploit an
un protected people. He went further saying the colonial system, which was rampant in the world at that time, had to be abolished immediately. That took a hell of a lot of guts, since allies like Britain and France had substantial colonial empires, but a wave of independence for the colonies started immediately after World War Two, So Wendo Wilkie proved prescient. Wilke was a classic liberal at a time
when that had a positive connotation in one world. He said another quote, it is the utmost folly to take the position that citizens of any country should hold their tongues for fear of causing distress to the immediate and sometimes tortuous policies of their leaders. Well, let's talk about experts.
Huh.
That's what we encountered during COVID, didn't we and they were proven very wrong. Here's Wendo Wilkie. Should we remain silent and allow our leaders and experts to solve these problems unmolested. This position threatens to become a tight wall which will keep the truth out. Experts and leaders must be constantly exposed to democracy's greatest driving power, the whiplash
of public opinion developed from honest, free discussion. Gary Jeff, last week you were talking to a guest about Jimmy Carter's taking over planning of that aborted attempt to rescue our Iranian hostages. That's the hubris rampant among politicians where they think they know everything, like Lyndon Johnson, another Democrat trying to run the air war in Vietnam from his
desk in Washington, DC, who ray for rebels like Wilkie. Sadly, in Wendell's case, he drank and he ate too much and he died one year after that book came out. He was only fifty two years old.
Wow.
He and his wife are buried in Rushville, Indiana. God bless you, Wendell Wilkie. Okay, Gary Jeff, have a good day.
Thank you, sir.
So interesting to pick the bones of history and to reconstruct them the way he does. It's like the t rex in the National Museum. Steve from EDNA, a true treasure on this program, thank you again. Coming up on six fifty three of my friend Ray Scott in Loveland tuning in this morning as always, How are you doing, my friend?
Good morning, Gary, Jeff, good morning, Happy do you're enjoying Indeed, this tremendous program of yours and Steve's always awesome, awesome piece, and you know, to to touch on that just the hair happened to catch yesterday on TV. Uh the Speaker of the House uh, speaking after as he was being sworn in during that ceremony, And I found it very very ironic and interesting that he read this.
Beautiful prayer, beautiful prayer.
That was you know in America, was was founded by some radicals, and and and we're and we're still radicals, and we're based on Judeo Christian and the original radical, Jesus himself. What a radical, what radical love.
He has for us.
And this this prayer that was pinned you know who, it was by Thomas Jefferson, one of the pillars and founding fathers of this great land. And I just find it ironic that the definition of freedom of religion, which is not freedom necessarily from religion. Yes, yes, yes, And that prayer was beautiful in the Speaker of the House may not be perfect, but may God be with him, and may may he may he work and work heartily on our behalf.
God bless a man.
Thank you, Ray, appreciate that. No, the Speaker of the House is not perfect. I'm not perfect. Ray's not perfect. You are not perfect. There is no one person who is perfect. We should not sacrifice good in pursuit of perfection because human perfection simply does not exist. It only existed in one man, and Ray referenced that one man, Jesus Christ, and the only perfect human being ever. And while Mike Johnson's not perfect, I'm not perfect, race not perfect,
You're not perfect. We shouldn't let perfection blind us from what is better than what we have, and anything, anything except the same thing, will be better than what we have as a government right now, particularly the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Congress. Don't worry about perfection. Let's get to the good or better than what we have had. And we've had a whole lot of bad,
not just the last four years either. All right, coming up on six fifty six, Steve Schulte in an environmental update a nuclear power right after the News at seven o'clock, we still have Tom Davis Diaries to come Raco with some fitness stuff. Maha make America healthy again?

Into another hour of the Saturday morning edition, the first of the new year, January fourth, twenty twenty five. Gary, Jeff Walker with you. I believe let me check, Yeah, it's me and here we are.
Well.
Just noticing in the news segment just passed the story that Juan Marshawn, the illegal judge in New York, is going to sentence Donald Trump next Friday, on January tenth. It's not going to stop Donald Trump from being president. Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. I gotta tell you, I don't worship at the throne of Trump. I know a lot of maga people who were very enthusiastic about the president. And I voted for
him a third time this past November. Yes I did, and I believe he is the best man for the job. I worship with the throne of Jesus Christ. So I'm not all Trump all the time like a lot of people I know. But what they have tried, and they, being the Democrats and the one world globalist, have tried to do to keep him out of Washington, d C again has been just It's been unprecedented what they have tried to do, including trying to kill him. And now they're going to try and use the narrative that he
is the first convicted felon to be elected president. Well, that's as important as the first African American president of the first woman president. It doesn't matter. Can he do the job, Yes he can I'll tell you this guy can do the job when it comes to the environment. Environmental energeerner Steve Shall.
See true some green.
Redrosies, I see them blue.
And I think to myself.
What a wonder what a wonderful world it is. Steve Shelty, Good morning, my friend.
How are you?
Good morning? Gary? Jeff better and I deserve hopefully a little bit clearer with the cell phone.
Oh yeah, you're fine, And we explain that. I'm not going to go into great detail. You were using a landline phone that was a portable phone, and what I've often found with those is that you turn one way or another and the signal will cut out on those portable phones. I mean, yeah, yeah, So it's no big deal. But this morning we're talking about how nuclear power actually saves lives.
Right.
This is an article from the this month's issue of Reason magazine. Their tagline is free markets and Free Minds. Article from Ronald Bailey nuclear power saved lives and basically talks about that after the catastrophic meltdown at the Chernobyl in the Soviet Union in nineteen eighty six resulted in
nearly four hundred fewer nuclear power plants are built. Basically after that, the building of nuclear plants flatlined, and that the extra air pollution killed far more people than the meltdown by several orders of magnitude, according to a recent study issued by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The research found that new nuclear power construction flat line after Chernobyl. If we had continued to go on the path before that, they would have estimated we'd have more one hundred and
seventy new nuclear reactors in the US alone by now. Interesting, back in the sixties, the Atomic Energy Commission anticipated we'd have more than one thousand, mostly fast breeder reactors supplying seventy percent of America's electricity by the year two thousand. Unfortunately, we're down at twenty percent. And interesting is a sideline, Gary Jeff We talked about this last week. Fast breeder reactors are fueled by slightly used nuclear fuel from today's
light water reactors. In essence, fast breeder reactors almost give us almost give us unlimited power. But using air pollution data from satellite and as well as estimates from the University of Chicago's Air Quality Life Index, what they found is that for each nuclear power plant, by reducing air pollution saves an average of eleven thousand people expecting the life expectancy of seventy three years. Worldwide, the reduction was
three hundred and eighty nine. Power plants would have saved four million, three hundred and fifty six thousand people in the US alone. We would have saved almost two million people if we have built the power plants. Now, they caution that their estimates are intended just to illustrate what would happen with the newer plant. Power plants constructed if Chernobyl did not happen, but the end with quote, air pollution would have likely been much lower, which in turn
would have had significant health benefits. Once again, nuclear power is one of the great ways for humanity to go. And for those who have drinken the the net carbon footprint kool aid, good for them too.
All right, I just had one question. We got to go, But yes or no? Were you one of those no nukes people in the late seventies?
No?
Okay, all right, so you haven't turned around that much, all right, Steve Shulty, thank you, God bless you. Have a good morning. It's seven twelve, It's seven hundred wl W.

What's up, everybody, I'd nam orcuary type of a new podcast.
It's NHL unscripted with Birkin Divers, Jason Emmers here and half.
They're playing seven HUNDREDHLK Jr.
The new Health and Human Services Secretary, if he's confirmed by the Senate, we'll be attacking the health of our food and the safety of our food. What the most vulnerable among us are babies. They have no cheat, they have no choice. They get what we feed them. And in many cases what we are feeding our babies is just as bad or worse than what we're eating. Why rock go, Why tell me why our half of baby our half of our baby foods are unhealthy?
What's going on here?
Well, that's right, Well it's actually us. So there was a study from about six hundred and fifty one of the baby food products that are out there that sixty percent of them don't be just the basic and nutritional requirements for protein and and and unnecessary vitamins like vitamin D, vitamin C and other minerals that are needed. And then and it also found that that that more than seventy percent don't have the necessary protein.
Now, what that means is that is obviously that that i that the parents are feeding of these kids most of the time they think that the baby.
Food companies are doing what they're supposed to be doing. But the baby food companies life Warma don't really give, don't really care about, uh what they're doing. That they're shoving the processed foods.
Uh you know, is this why baby poop smells so bad?
Uh? Yes, actually yes it is.
And and you're feeding, uh, you know, like the parents that feed like the processed foods that baby food basically is is you know, like the feedium poison and they don't even know it.
Okay, let's we we know what the problem is.
Give me in one minute a solution for parents so they can feed their babies health food.
Well, I read the labels first of all, right, and and and if you can, like me and my wife did. We made our wont baby food so we knew exactly what was in it, and baby you know, and baby food. All all baby food needs to be is is use a blender and and cooked up you know, and cooked up food that you that you actually I can't cook Rocco.
I cannot wait to taste you and your wife's strained peas Roccocostelano dot com. Ladies and gentlemen. Time now for the Tom Davis Diaries. I like to refer to these.
As the.
Here he is our reporter Tom Davis, with wild, wacky stories from around the world and around the country.
You go, sir, Good morning Gary Jeff. This week he thought it was funny to spike the Holy water. But first, what to do with all these Christmas trees? People everywhere are trying to figure out what to do with their real Christmas tree now that the holiday has come and gone. If you know a Lama farmer, you're in luck. You can hand it off to them. Apparently, Lamas love the taste of Christmas trees, which provide vital nutrients and even help to keep their teeth clean.
Who knew.
A Texas high school is starting the new year on the wrong foot. Apparently a coach got a little worked up in practice and made the football team do four hundred pushups. Twenty six of the players suffered something called a muscle breakdown, and a couple of them ended up in the hospital.
The schools now facing a lawsuit.
Kia is recalling twenty five thousand electric SUVs because of a seat belt problem. Apparently they're not bolted down. They've narrowed it down to a single worker who didn't put the bolts in for the seat belts. I mean, you got to know it's dangerous to drive one of these things, right, Kia? Kia killed in action. And finally, one prankster with a lot of names got caught spiking the holy water. Thomas Camby Bowling von Getz was being disrupted before he poured
whiskey into the holy water at two Maryland churches. He was kicked out of the first one, and in the second congregation they were made it tougher stuff. Parishioners there teamed up and held him down to the cops got there, and who knows, maybe he hit the confessional on the way out. Who am I to judge? Next week, people curing the common cold by wearing wet socks, have a great weekend.
The holidays are a book.
So Bengals Update brought to you in part by Ross American Grill and Kember Credit Union on seven hundred WLW, the home of the best Bengals coverage.
Tony Pike joins me and Tony. First time around Bengals and Steelers, Bengals had no problems scoring. The problem was they couldn't stop Pittsburgh from scoring. Russell Wilson for some reasons able to pick them apart, and they couldn't figure it out. The Bengals defense has played better down the home stretch. U. They have some young players in there. But does it make a difference that you have just about a whole season under your belt, so it's tough to call you a rookie anymore?
Yeah, I mean the rookie wall Is already has already passed for a lot of these guys. I mean, it's a process because you go from finishing your college season right into training for the Combine, and then the you know, the Combine is happening, and then pro days are happening, Draft is happening, mini camps for rookies, OTAs. It's just a process that you never really get that time off. So the rookie wall has already been hit and already been pushed through by a lot of these guys. So
there are no more rookies really in the NFL. And I think the biggest question, as you mentioned the Bengals defense, the ability of Russell Wilson to just get the ball out quick and the underneath throws against the Bengals killed them. And I think many people are wondering now since that
game you said this defense has played better. Is that a result of playing some lesser competition quarterback and then a rookie quarterback in bow Knicks have hit that rookie wall or is it a process of Okay, they are getting better. I think this is the perfect week eighteen scale to figure out really where they are defensively.
It was just interesting how they couldn't figure out but underneath row they never adjusted for it. They hit it all day long.
Yeah, and that was the frustrating part is that, you know, the Pittsburgh offense has struggled for much of the NFL season, and on that day it looked like they were one of the best offenses in the game. And they didn't do anything crazy. They allowed the defense to drop back, and they threw the ball underneath and occasionally Russell Wilson took his shot down the field. But it wasn't this
offensive scheme that is reinventing how football is played. It was very basic and there were no adjustments, and it was the culmination if you think back to that week of just a very bad stretch of defense from the Cincinnati Bengals and another frustrating loss where the offense scored over thirty and still lost.
It looks like they'll be without Chase Brown because they brought up Kendall Milton from the practice squad. As far as we know, t Higgins is still a question mark, correct.
Yeah, right now. I think that everything will clear up pretty much by.
The end of today.
But they did make a move, you know, as the season went on for Khalil Herbert, when the Zach Boston news came out and I thought a little underrated aspect of that Denver Broncos game. Khalil Herbert had some nice plays late in the game when he got the opportunity. So I think it is a great opportunity for Khalil Herbert.
But we know what it is at this point. If this team is going to win, if they're going to continue to compete and keep their playoff hoops alive on Saturday night and force some pressure on Sunday, it's going to be Joe Burrow as it has much of the year.
All Right.
We'll see how things pan out. If they win and all the other pieces fall together, I'll talk to you next week, same time.
We'll see what happens. Thanks you bet.

Yes, as a night of Scientist.
Is it surprising it?
Bell behinded me with good morning, Michael, How are you? I'm good?
Did I understand it right that Steve Shulti is using like a nineteen ninety two phone that he got from a Sports Illustrated subscription film know.
Where he got the plug in the portable landline phone he had been using previous weeks, but he just id to get with the times and use his cell phone and he was totally discernible this morning, as opposed to the last couple.
I'm glad he pulled didn't didn't bend the antenna when he pulled it out of the phone.
Kind of hated those things.
What's going on?
Hey?
Hey, Gary Jeff?
First, Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you, sir.
Okay, So in eighteen thirty one August of eighteen thirty one, we had a a weather event in the in the whole around the whole world. The sun dimmed and uh temperatures dropped by one degree centigrade over two years, and they kind of they figured it was a volcano and this this this volcano actually killed like over half a million people over two years because of famine, a lot of cross for damage because it.
Yeah, the lack of sunlight will do that too.
Yeah, it'll do that. And they kind of thought it was new it was a volcano, but they didn't know which volcano where, what volcano did this, And they they thought it was like, you know, typical volcanoes are along to you know, Philippines or like Krakatoa, that that big enough to do that kind of damage. But they did ice core samples and for years they had the samples and it was very low in potassium, and they knew that potassium low potassium and ice core samples were evidence
of volcanoes. Typically it came out of Japan, but there were no evidence. Japan had no recorded evidence in eighteen
thirty one of a volcano. And then they realized. Then they went looked at these islands that were north of Japan and the Curls and they found ice ice samples, ash ash samples from the from the expedition that was a US Japan Russia expedition in the early nineties and these samples chemically matched exactly to the core samples that they were pulling out of Greenland over the years, and they finally matched the this volcano up it's called Ski volcano
and the curls. And the point about all this scientifically is these volcanoes pop up out of nowhere, and these you know, you could be a dormant volcano all a sudden can change the whole complexity of the global climate, like kind of Tuba did in ninety one. So they don't typically happen where you think they're going to happen. They could happen anywhere on the planet and even under sea, as we saw a couple of years ago that one blew up in the Philippines.
So well, the Earth is, among other things, a seething, savage beast underneath it's crust.
But I took them a hundred years to figure out where this volcano came from. So they finally I think.
Right now, right now in this part of the country, believe it or not, Even in this part of the country, which you think may be a moon immune from major eruptions and the like, right now beneath our feet is a bubbling cauldron of of hell fire that could spring up at any time.
On this phone call.
We could be interrupted right now by a seismic blast that no one expected out of nowhere, and be consumed by the raging lava that is that is.
No, I don't know.
I gotta run the Kroger, get some eggs, milk.
And the bread.
So okay, but good luck. It's more dangerous at Kroger than it will be driving on Monday, believe me. Ten minutes after the hour, the Battle of.

They got to get in their time now because they don't do hardly anything the rest of the year. Winter storm begins tomorrow a winter storm watching effect for the entire Try State. Heavy is now accumulating throughout the day and into Monday, as many as ten to twelve inches in areas around here, along with the thread of ice, and that will obviously make travel difficult. Tomorrow's high only twenty eight. It is seventeen at seven hundred WLW, and let's go to the truth in the word. Try to
be positive wherever possible on this program. One of the ways in which we do this is by bringing you the Word of God, Bible versus. That's right on a secular radio station. The corporate sponsors are shrieking with horror right now. It's eight fifteen and seven out of WLW. Brother Rick Green from Spirit Work Cincinnati is with us as always, And Brother Green, I know the work you do year round with Cincinnati's homeless people, just by providing food.
You know, your sack lunches once a week and you go out downtown and you do this. This is one of those weekends where there's a lot more than food that is in need. We're talking about shelter from the cold. And we pray that everyone has a place to go that is warm and is out of the snow and ice that we're about to get, don't we.
Oh?
Yes, I pray to God that he helped ove Yarry. It's funny you said back, because I'm leaving at nine o'clock to go feed the homeless. Yeah, I have to put out the public service announcement. If anyone is going to help me feed the homeless by sending a donation to me. Please write the check a money order to Rick Green. Gary one of your listeners, Vicky Stacy. I've never met her, but she's a lovely lady. She sends us a check and our bank won't be positive or
cassid because this rolled out the Spirit Works. It's now rolled out to Rick Green.
I want to and it's r I C K G R E E N E yes. All right, so people, people understand. But we said Spirit Works Cincinnati, so I understand how she would do that. But to Rick Green, it is Rick Green's mission. Oh, it's it's God's mission that Rick Green is performing. So yeah, just to if you if you want to do that, there you go. That's how you that's how you make the cash available so they can continue their mission of feeding the homeless
every week. All right, Rick, what have you got from the Word of God this morning?
Today? We're coming from Josua Chapter one, verse nine. It said, this is my command.
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with.
You wherever you go. Amen.
Don't you love that?
Ary?
Oh?
Yeah, Well, there's so many people telling you to be afraid of this or that. If you've got the faith in God, then you shouldn't be afraid of that or this.
Amen.
Whether it's whether it's a disease, whether it's whether it's disease, whether it's weather, anything, You're right, girl.
You have to learn how to tune them out. Don't let them take over your mind. Let the war to God take over their minds.
There you go. Amen.
All right, Brother Rick, thank you so much for what you continue to do for Cincinnati's homeless, and we'll be thinking about you and especially them this weekend as the weather comes in eighteen at seven hundred WL.

A little surf music I think is good on the first weekend of a winter storm morning in Cincinnati. Man, can our mind set on other things, more pleasant things, even if it's a surfing bird by the trash man?
Hey mo, how are you? I'm good?
What's going on?
I'm not getting down to the surfing bird man. You know it's it's seventeen degrees expecting six to ten inches.
A know, in the next twenty four to thirty six hours.
I gotta have my mind on other things, you know, tasty waves in a cool buzz, as Pacoli.
Would say, Yes, sounds good to me.
Okay, so wintertime here in this place. Now, we've already had our first snowfall, and people would absolutely berserk over like a half an inch? Was it like a month ago or something? I can't remember, but you know that they're taking They always take us to show us the pictures of the salt piles.
Why do they do that?
Yeah, we the.
Salt piles are there year round, but all of a sudden there's a winter start.
We want to let you know we've got salt. Don't blame the salt pile. We've got and the drivers will be working twelve hour shifts. Oh my god, twelve hour shifts.
It just seems like it's a lot of ado about nothing most of the time. Now, I don't like driving in it, and I'm not particularly fond of this kind of weather. We do get it every once in a while. Do you have a bad weather story that you can remember and relate quickly to us?
A bad weather story?
Well, lying back from the we had an ice worm that blanketed like the entire Midwest, Midwest and extending into the southern part of the United States.
Is two thousand and four and.
U S played in the fort Worth Bowl and so well, I flew out early because we knew the ice worm was coming. We did the fort Worth Bowl. Dan Horde and I flew back. The fort Worth Bowl was played on December twenty third, and Dan Horde and I flew back after the game Christmas Eve morning, and we had to connect in Memphis and then fly back to Cincinnati. And when we got to Memphis, the airport was closed and no flights were getting out. It was Christmas Eve.
We go to a.
Rental car line. There were no rental cars to be had, and fortunately we found some very nice people who offered to drive us. And in the middle of an ice storm on Christmas Eve. It took us about fourteen hours to get from Memphis to Cincinnati back in time, not
really in time for Christmas. But I remember that ice storm and how brutal it was and how it screwed up Christmas, and that was something that was something that's probably it's a good bad weather story, but that's the first story that comes to mind.
As a kid. We lived in the Chicago suburbs. And this is the winter of the Blizzard of nineteen sixty seven, which I'm sure you weren't around for yet, but I was like six years old, And what I remember about that is that the snowdrifts were up to the roof of our ranch. In other words, you couldn't get out the front door. You had to tunnel your way out of the front door onto the front porch just to get outside.
And this is.
Chicago area, you know, they kind of know how to deal with snow and stuff, but not on this level. This was of a magnitude that you usually don't but when you've got to tunnel your way out of the front door through the snow drift just to get outside that And I.
Do remember a freezing.
About three hours up near Dayton when I lived in Dayton for the short time I did in ninety three and early ninety four, and I was driving it was borrowing someone else's car and got a flat tire and there was no spare in the back. It was about twenty below with the wind chill, snow on the road, snow on the side of the road as I pulled over, and I was trying to change that or get the tire off that was flat, and hoping someone would come
up long and help me. And the lug nuts were seized onto the tire because they had rusted on, and all I had was the little tire tool. So I was stuck there for about three hours until someone came along with a jack and a doughnuts bear and got me to where I knew. And all the mean time, I've got to tell this person that I borrowed their cars, that you know, your cars stranded on the road, and so am I what do we do? And this is before widespread cell phone use, so you know, you kind
of sol at that point. So we're looking at one of those kind of weekends for some people. But there's plenty to keep us interested inside. And while we warm to the last weekend of the NFL season, Week eighteen, here we are, and here's a scenario. The Indian Yeah, the Jets defeat the Tuillus Miami Dolphins, and the backup Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Denver Broncos, and the Bengals still lose to Pittsburgh. I mean, the thing that has to happen first doesn't happen, and then the other two
things that needed to happen, those dominoes fall. It just would seem so Bengals like for that to be the end of the season.
Your thoughts, There's president two thousand and six. Bengals needed to beat the Steelers and they needed three results to go their way. This was on New Year's Eve. The three results the Bengals needed went their way, and they lost in overtime to the Pittsburgh Steelers and missed the postseason, finishing eight eight. So it's happened before. I think the way this plays out for the Bengals, I think the fact that they're playing tonight is a good thing because
you know, human nature dictates. You know, you're playing a game, but you know other results have to go your way, and so maybe you're mentally a little bit preoccupied what's happening in Denver and what's happening with the Jets and Dolphins, And I think them playing tonight gives them a chance to sort of solely focus on the game against the Steelers. And let's face it, the first time they played Pittsburgh gave up forty.
Two points, So this is a lot to focus on tonight.
Playing the Steelers team that, regardless of what happens with the Ravens and Browns, is going to have something to play for, certainly doesn't want to go into the postseason with four straight losses. So it's going to be enough of a challenge tonight. So I like the idea that they could play this evening and focus on what they've
got to do. But yeah, I think every Bengals fan has kind of rolled through the same thing in their mind, like, Yeah, the most Cincinnati thing ever would be they lose tonight and their chances and then we sit back tomorrow and watch the b team the Chiefs put on the field win and we watch Aaron Rodgers turn into Aaron Rodgers again, and the other two results we need end up playing out the way we wanted to, and it still doesn't matter.
Yeah, there you go. But again, you cannot give every other team in the NFL a four game heads started at the beginning of the season or a five game head start, as the Bengals did again this year. You know say, well, you know, you know, Joe Burrow was injured, and this happened, and this happened, and this wasn't you know, after about four or five seasons like that in a row.
You go, this, this has to change and there can't be any more excuses of why you start one in three or four in eight, and you know it's not it's really down to this this weekend obviously to see if they get in the playoffs. But this season was lost a lot earlier, and we all know that. I mean, how do we get out of that mentality of giving everybody else a four game heads start at the beginning of the season.
It's frustrating, Yeah, you know what, I think?
What excuse me?
What's frustrating about it is they did handle this past offseason and this past year's preseason differently than the past couple of years. You know, we talked about at a bunch they started oh and two in twenty twenty two, they started oh and two in twenty twenty three, and so what could they do to ensure that they hit
the ground running more week one? So they had a more physical training camp by every account, they played some of the starters in the preseason, they went through a more normal offseason program, and yet it still wasn't good enough. You know, you talk about all the different what if this season losing to the Patriots Week one at home
remains inexcusable, and you're right. Look, they're eight and five over their last thirteen games, which you know, maybe isn't awesome, but it's pretty good, you know, pretty good eight and five, and yet they've had to go eight and five just to get themselves back to five hundred and time for
the last game of the season. It is going to be question number one this offseason, once they figure out what they're gonna do with players like T Higgins and free agents they retained and free agents they acquire, and what they do in the draft, because they can't keep doing this and it has caught up to them. You know, you go back two years ago, you could say, well they were covered and finished twelve and four, and they did, but they still had to go on the road in
the AFC Championship game. Heck, they had to go on the road the week before when they played the Buffalo Bills. You could say, well, they started zero to two last year, but they recovered, Yeah they did. They finished nine to eight and barely missed the postseason. It's going to catch up to you when you get off to a slow start.
And you're absolutely right, as the season has played out the way it has and if they end up being on the outside looking in, especially if they do end up winning tonight, that's what we're going to come back to, not beating the Patriots, not finishing the game Week two against Kansas City, and defensively just getting works by the Washington Commanders. Until that changes, the ceiling for this franchise remains not as high as it should.
Be, no doubt about it.
We're down to a final four in college football, in
the playoff Championship. And a buddy of mine who's a Buckeye alum, who of course lives and dies with the OSU Michigan game every year and died once again this year, only to see his team now being one game away from the championship game, suggested after after seeing the Michigan game and then seeing what the Buckeyes did afterwards, suggesting that perhaps the Buckeyes laid down against Michigan just so they would have a lower I don't know, says, so
the seating was we would be different in the playoff game in the CFP. What do you think of that scenario? Because this has been a totally different looking Ohio State team since the Michigan game.
I mean totally so they didn't won a first round by and they wanted to play a second round game against the top ten.
I know, I know, I looked at him the same way and just shook my head. I said, I don't think so. But again, it does look like and I believe Ohio State truly now has a legitimate chance to after losing to Michigan, which is the only game that matters to most Ohio State football fans of winning the national championship. And I think their pass will ultimately be through Notre Dame your thoughts on my predictions.
Here, Vegas agrees with you. They are the odds on favorite, and I think you have to give Ryan Day and his team a lot of credit because when they lost to Michigan, you know, you heard from some very unreasonable people who would say, well, it doesn't even matter if they play for the national championship, or you know, when they played Tennessee, there's going to be thirty thousand ball fans there and they're going to get booed when they charge out onto the field. And they have played two really,
really good games. They have looked focused, and I think with the walls closing in around Ryan Day. His team rallied around him, which says a lot about him. Look, I understand the frustration of seeing their team lose to it's our rival every year.
I get that.
I understand the importance of rivalry games and of the Ohio State Michigan game. I think it is ridiculous though, that, in an era where we have diminished the importance of regular season college football games, that we've amplified this game to a degree that it's never been amplified before. It just doesn't make any sense to me. And look again, it's something Ryan Day is going to have to figure out if he's ever going to be universally accepted, I guess by every Ohio State fan. But the goal is
to run a program and compete for championships. And let's face it, no one cares about conference championships anymore. They're in a position to win a national championship. I have heard Ohio State fans, who I don't think represent the majority, but I have heard Ohio State fans say I'd rather beat Michigan than win a national championship. Well, okay, fine, then sit on the sideline and watch your team compete
for one, because they have a really good chance. And I think it'd be actually a really cool story if they did pull this off, with with the the buzzard circling around Ryan Day to get his team to play the way it hasn't finished this off, I think would be a really cool story.
Ohio State Notre Dame is my prediction, and the Buckeyes beat the fighting Irish.
So we will see.
Moe have a great weekend, and I hope you have a nice warm place to stay.
Thank you you too. All right, thank you, counselor was up? I'll tell you what.
I'm with you on that prediction for the National Championship game. I would just flip who won and who loses? Though, Uh, but you know what, you're a Golden domer.
There are teams.
Thanks man. No, I'm kidding. That hurts No, No, but yes, you're right. I mean that's gonna great the game.
What's on the show today, Well, I'm gonna be talking about the Biden legacy as it is and will be.
He seems to think it's going to be good. I think not.
We're also going to be talking about the All States CEO Tom Wilson. I don't know if you heard about it, Gary Jeff. He made an idiotic statement before the Sugar Bowl. It was at first he paid homage to the victims of the tragedy in New Orleans. Then he talks about, well, we got to get over our addiction to divisiveness and negativity and learn to accept people's imperfections and differences. Now, what in the hell that's got to do with fifteen
people dead? You got me, and he's catching crap. They pulled the statement off their website already.
Islamis terror is the greatest threat to American society.
There's no question.
Oh no, it's white supremacy. I mean, come on now, islamis terror. And they don't want to say it. Tongue in cheek, brother, they don't want to. I know, FBI certainly doesn't want to say it. They have to be drug kicking and screaming before they say it.
You have a great Saturday midday, Michael, and good luck to your fighting Irish Okay, huddles after the show show, Today will be your last day to get out anywhere and drink, So come celebrate the last day of society outside your home before armageddon hits. We'll see you there.
