Speaker 1

This morning, Happy eighty fourth to Mike Love run nice and nice where we be long, it's going to make it that.

Speaker 2

Would make you say nice? Maybe seeing happy times together week I'm gonna set every Christmas.

Speaker 1

You would. I am with a condition and my co acognition open.

Speaker 3

Amazing.

Speaker 4

We could be buried, we could, we could.

Speaker 1

We could be happy. Coming to you from the sixth floor of a nondescript bird killer building. It's the Saturday Morning edition one more time, La, let's see.

Speaker 2

Makes but let's talk about this.

Speaker 1

Oh and for the last twenty eight years, it has been real nice to be with you every Saturday morning, save for a few vacation days here and there. Today is the anniversary show. I believe we started actually in February of nineteen ninety seven. But we're gonna have the anniversary party supposedly today. And I say supposedly because there's always a fly in the ointment, there's always you know, a monkey in the wrench, to quote Bruce Willison, some

wonderful movie from the eighties. So we're planning on this party today. And I should have known better than to schedule a party on the IDEs of March. Who does that? Well? Speaking of the IDEs of March March fifteenth, forty four BC. On the IDEs of March, Julius Caesar, then the Roman dictator, assassinated by Roman senators at two Brute Brutus and Cassius, who feared Caesar was working to establish a monarchy. They cut him down a day that would live in infamy.

Hopefully today, with the weather forecast and everything else, does not live in infamy this date. In nineteen sixty five, then President LBJ. Lyndon Baines Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress called for new legislation to guarantee every American's right to vote. The result was the passage of the Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five. Probably the least egregious thing that LBJ did, something actually positive on this day.

In nineteen seventy two, The Godfather, the film based on the Mario Puso novel Francis Ford Coppola behind the Director's Chair, premiered in New York. This is the Day of the Godfather debut twelve. Just thirteen short years ago today, convicted former Illinois Governor Rob Blagoyevitch entered federal prison in Colorado began serving a fourteen year sentence for corruption released in February twenty twenty, at the end of President Donald Trump's

first term, and Trump would pardon Blagojevich. Then last month of this year, a pedestrian bridge under construction over a busy Miami Highway collapsed on this date in twenty eighteen, crushing cars beneath it. Six people died ten were injured. And in twenty nineteen, on March fifteenth, the gunman killed fifty one to two mosques in christ Church, New Zealand,

streaming the massacre live on Facebook. Now what I want to know is how does the country with some of the most strict gun laws in the world allow a gunman to walk into two moss and shoot fifty one people. Jud Hirsch, the actor, is ninety today mentioned Mike Love. Filmmaker David Cronenberg is eighty two. Sly Stone More with Sylvester Stewart of sly Stone in the Family Stone this

morning at seven thirty five with the music professor. He's back in rock and roll Archaeology, the guy who created the first digital album, musician Ray Cooter is seventy eight today. Francis Conroy seventy two, d. Snyder of Twisted Sisters, still not taking it at seventy. Baseball Hall of Famer Harold Baines is sixty six. Brett Michaels have poisoned as sixty two. We'll hear from Brett before the morning's over. Singer TV host Mark McGrath Sugar Ray is fifty seven. We won't

hear from him. Actress Kim Raver is fifty six. Eva Longoria is fifty. Uh will I am from Black Eyed Peas is fifty. We might sneak in some Black Eyed Peas this morning. Liam An actor kelln Lutz is forty. If it's your birthday, I hope it is the best birthday you could possibly imagine. You get to do the things that you love to do with the people you love to do them with, and that is truly my wish for you. It's anniversary Day on the Saturday Morning edition WOOO. It continues in moments.

Speaker 5

This morning at nine, Mike Allen bites the latest wave of ridiculousness with karatefe discipline on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 6

Over the years you've brought them into your home. You were prescribed opioids after the C section when Dad entered us back when your basketball star tore his acl Opioids helped with the pain, and you held on to them just in case. But did you know holding onto unused

obioids puts your family at risk. Opioids are powerful pain reduced prescription medicines, but most people who are prescribed opioids don't finish their prescriptions, So millions of unused opioids are sitting at homes across the country, and tragically, more than one hundred Americans die every day from overdoses involving opioids.

What can you do to protect your family? Remove the risk of unused opioids from your home, pills patches or syrups and drawers, purses and cabinets anywhere they might be hiding. To find out how to dispose of them properly, visit www dot FDA dot gov slash drug disposal.

She is so interesting? And then she started calling me. I don't remember at what point. The Lynette that was her name, then started calling me and just became a regular part of my Saturday mornings.

Into the first official hour of the Saturday morning edition for this Saturday, March fifteen to twenty twenty five. Gary Jeff Walker on Anniversary Party Day. That's right, we throw ourselves an anniversary party because nobody else would. I started that nine years ago on the nineteenth anniversary, and I thought, I don't know if there's going to be a twentieth, so might as well party now. And so this is nine years later. It is still the anniversary party twenty

eight now. Since we kicked on the air in February of nineteen ninety seven on the hallowed airwaves of this sacred great radio station. The party has moved. I repeat, the party is moving to another location besides Huddles. There are many a myriad of reasons which I'm not going to go all into right now, but we were going to be there on at Huddles on Main Street, where we've had it the last couple of years. We will

be at twenty four to oh one. Alexandria Pike twenty four to oh one Alexandria Pike at the corner of Willow and twenty seven, a place called the Sittin Bull Cafe. It's about a mile from Huddles. It's easy to find right there in twenty seven, right there in the corner. And I'm suggesting that the party go as far as everyone being there, you know, from one o'clock till about three, so the good part of the day without hopefully thunder and lightning and cats and dogs and armadillos raining from

the sky. So again the anniversary party is still on. Today, we are going to move it to twenty four to one Alexandria Pike. They're on Highway twenty seven in Southgate at the Sitting Bull Cafe.

The jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered funding by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia.

Now back to our irregular programming.

Bill Cunningham is all about the American dream. He wants us all to live it. What's your American dream?

Speaker 22

To marry a very rich, very beautiful woman so I can dedicate all my time to.

hail possible, and maybe even some flow. Hi today around seventy one cloud's early tomorrow, clearing late in the day. Cooler on Sunday fifty six and partly cloudy and fifty eight on Monday.

At U Line, they know going the extra mile takes hard work for companies pushing to go further.

Speaker 20

And also it's Christ's bartender versary.

Speaker 1

Yes, she began on Saint Patrick's Day exactly ten years ago. I had to be at work on the air for Willie or somebody and she had to fill in at the bar. Her first day was Saint Patti's Day, so you know, trial by fire.

Speaker 20

And you know what, I'll have it, you'll have a beer here.

Speaker 1

It's a quadruple anniversary day because it's also Chip Hart's thirtieth anniversary doing the big outdoors before this show, and he's going to be there.

Speaker 23

At the anniversary Chip.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I missed that. And it's the two hundred and two hundred and seventy sixth anniversary of Caesar getting stabbed in the back for the two thousand, the two thousand, seventy sixth anniversary of Caesar getting stabbed in the back, the eydes of March, and.

Speaker 23

You decided to schedule your radio anniversary show.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, I arbitrarily picked this date a couple of months ago forgetting that it was the IDEs of March. See, kids, this is why his is important to learn, so you don't repeat it. But anyway, I hope you're not.

Speaker 23

Gonna assassinated by the senators today. Oh, that's not what you meant.

Speaker 1

I'm feeling like this is all kind of a group assassination for the weather and the other events that have made us stuff. But you know what, we're going to have a good time regardless.

Speaker 23

Oh we are absolutely And speaking of the weather, you are coming in five by two. Oh oh loud, but it ain't clear because the storm's right over us right now and it's unlistenable. But the radio is still awesome. This is a nineteen thirty eight Coronado. These guys were smart. They went with the name Coronado because the name of the company is a gamble scogmo.

Speaker 1

Have you seen the latest gamboscagmo radio? Gosh, that's a real piece of h gaglos mockgmo whatever.

Speaker 23

It was actually a U auto part store chain that started in the twenties and and I think it fizzled out in the in the early eighties. But regional of course. But yeah, when they when they had their their home their house brand of radio, they decided to use Cornado instead. Unlike the Grigsby grew Now folks who didn't get the memo that it doesn't roll off the tongue. You might want to go with something else. Hey, this is a seven to tube AM shortwave radio.

Speaker 1

It's got this.

Speaker 23

It's a tabletop wooden cabinet. It's sort of a tombstone, but the speakers on top and that part of the cabinet slants backward, which gives an interesting look. The dial is oval and quite large, and it has too little well, the tune dial is the majority of the job. There are two little round dials on the bottom left and bottom right that show where your volume and toner adjusted to.

So cute little gimmick. And it also has an RS stage and two I S stages, so instead of one signal amplifier, it has three of them, making this thing one hot d xer and a pretty darn good looking multicolored dial radio two.

Speaker 1

Very nice, very nice. Well, I appreciate your bringing the receivers like you always do, and I'm sorry about the weather and the five x two thing. I guess that's the only advantage we have with streaming or with digital broadcasts. We're not nearly as affected by weather conditions with the terrestrial signals that are all subject to that. You know, whatever, the weather's like.

Speaker 23

Indeed, but at the same time, trying to listen to Wow often tells me what the weather's like between you and me, regardless of what the weather report might be, no.

Speaker 1

Doubt about it. Take it, take a look outside and give me a call. Uh old exactly old radio Rick at gmail dot com the way to get in touch. And I'm assuming you will be there at the new location today.

at seven point thirty. The Big Ten semi finals are set. Wisconsin and Michigan State face off in the first game, and Michigan and Maryland face off in the second game. Brian and Maine faceoff. In the American East Championship. Creighton defeated Yukon seventy one to sixty two, and Rick patinos Saint John's team rolled to a seventy nine sixty three victory over Marquette. So Saint John's and Creighton faceoff and

the Big East Championship tonight at six thirty. Is Rick Patino the greatest college coach of all time?

Kentucky was routed by Alabama ninety nine to seventy in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. Last night, Auburn squares off in games Tennessee and Alabama faces Florida.

Steve Frometta, Bye, Steve from Metta. With their way through this morning, and that is the table of the tape. This morning, we will have one round of some pretty good thunderstorms and there is a tornado watch in effect too. Doesn't mean we're gonna have tornadoes. We've had tornadoes seven okay, never mind? Is that just firing itself? Leam okay. Anyway, as far as the weather goes, we'll have the round

of storms this morning. Then we have a little window probably from say eleven to about three or four this afternoon where things clear out, and then even heavier stuff tonight. So just keep a weather eye out. It's a first alert day or whatever they say. Seventy one for a high today, only fifty six tomorrow after the storms in the front clears, and then fifty eight on Monday. Coming up. It's sixty six right now.

Speaker 7

Seven hundred WLW Sport And that's where that sounder goes.

Speaker 1

What's going on?

Speaker 29

Man?

Speaker 8

Yeah, I think there's a ghost somewhere. Garian Jeff Kentucky was routed by Alabama ninety nine to seventy in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. Last night, Auburn squares off against Tennessee and Alabama faces Florida in the SEC semifinals. Saint John's rolled to a seventy nine sixty three victory over Marquette. They'll face Creighton in the Big East Championship tonight at six thirty Miami, Ohio and Acron battle it out in the MAC Championship tonight at seven thirty f C Cincinnati.

Is on the road in Charlotte. Kickoff is that seven thirty pre game coverage. It begins at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty. The Reds lost to the Diamondbacks and White Sox yesterday and split squad scrimmages. The Reds are back in action this afternoon against the Royals. First pitch is set for four oh five right here on the Home of the Reds, seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1

This is nol for stuff. They don't want you to know. If you could lose ten point four pounds in a single month, would you try well with future health? You can that Huddles was going to be closed, and now I just get a text that we're going to be open. Thank god, it's six forty five and nobody's really changed their plans. This is getting ridiculous. Anyway, let's get on with the show. Uh, Steve, good morning, how are you? My friend?

Speaker 29

Good morning, Gary, jeff. I We be getting class search up. A feast of Saint Patrick this coming Monday, which this year immediately follows Marty Gras, which means that a lot of folks will have been drunk for at least two weeks come next Tuesday morning. This is somewhat ironic since drunks are usually not very coherent, but kissing the Blarney Stone allegedly bestows the gift of gab and skillet flattery

on the recipient. The Blarney Stone is actually located at Blarney Castle in Ireland, where the proprietors claim that millions of people, including quote World Statesman, literary giants, and legends of the Silver Screen have partaken of that ritual, the most famous of which might be possibly Barack Whussein Obama no apostrophe please? On his trip to the Old Sod in twenty eleven, he was invited to an Irish celebration in Dublin and wowed the crowd with a sense of

humor or was it just plain barning? He began, and this is a quote. I've come home to find the apostrophe that we lost somewhere along the way. Whoops and cheers greeted him as he continued. I knew I had some routes across the Atlantic, but until recently I could not unequivocally claim that I was one of those Irish Americans. All rather interesting considering the recent progressive outrage over cultural expropriation exemplified by one of their own, Liz Pocahontas Warren,

the alleged Cherokee from the Massachusetts Indian Reservation. But back to Barry, it's entirely possible Barry Obama's white relatives on his mother's side really are Irish Americans. But it's interesting that in his three autobiographies, especially The First Dreams of My Father, a Story of race and Inheritance, he clearly favors Barack Obama Sr. Over his white grandparents, who actually raised him from the age of ten. His father wound up deserting the family.

Speaker 19

And moving back to Africa.

Speaker 29

Barry's mother wasn't around very much, but Madeleine and Stan Dunham were very much a part of his upbringing. Barry appreciated that, but he did not appreciate the fact that his grandmother admitted she felt uncomfortable around black ben That might have been due to a letter that Barack's black grandfather wrote to the Dunhams. When the Dunham's daughter Anne married Barack's father, he wrote that he did not want and this is a quote the Obama blood sullied by a white woman.

Speaker 19

Ouch.

Speaker 29

The marriage lasted a couple of years, and when Barack Senior went back to Africa, he managed, while drunk driving, to kill a fellow African. But he's still a hero in his son's eyes. Grandma Madeline Dunham, who died two days before her grandson was elected president in two eight, was a highly successful banking executive in her native Kansas and later in Hawaii. When she and husband Stan provided that home and education for Barry, Stan managed a furniture store.

So I find all this intriguing that young Barack Obama found much more to like in his runaway father than in his grandparents. Could it be that to be elected president required promoting his black background over that of a pair of white colonialists. It worked, and he became our first dei president. I'll say this, this man does have the gift of blarney, but I have to be fair.

It's widely believed that nineteen sixties weatherman underground radical Bill Ayres, who once killed a cop, actually wrote at least one of those Obama books, But that is not unusual at all for politicians. Another president who famously visited Ireland, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is the author of the Polserprize winning nineteen fifty six biography Profiles in Courage, but it was actually written by Kennedy staffer Ted Sorenson. Barack Obama himself disclosed

that wife Michelle's twenty eighteen book was ghostwritten. Hillary Clinton's It Takes a Village was actually written by Barbara Todd. A ghost write named Lyric Winnick. Yes, his name is Lyric, wrote Laura Bush's autobiography Spoken from the Heart. So how much money can you make doing this?

Speaker 20

Well?

Speaker 29

The Shakespeare among them?

Speaker 9

J R.

Speaker 29

Maringer, Yes, the word Ringer is in his last name, got one million dollars for doing the Prince Harry book. He also did autobiographies for tennis star Andre Agassi and Nike sportswear mogul Phil Knight.

Speaker 19

I got a question.

Speaker 29

Is California Governor Gavin Newsom next? I'm thinking he too visited the Blarney Stone before telling Charlie Kirk that he now opposes having biological males on women's sports teams. Could be a move to the center for a far out Golden State boy who wants to reload Okay to Washington.

Speaker 10

D C.

Speaker 29

Hey, Gavin, here's another presidential move. Announce that you are firing five thousand public employees. Then, so your far left bands don't get mad. Make it a bunch of state prisoners who can now get back on the streets where they can make some real money. Might be a ghostwriter or two among those guys. Hey, listen, I shouldn't laugh at the travails that you're going through with regard to where the party is.

Speaker 1

Well, here's the thing, Steve. Now it's back at its original location, huddles. I've been telling people that it was somewhere else for the last hour, and I just found out that we are going to be open today and tomorrow. I guess the morning closing will begin. Bud.

Speaker 4

Oh that's great.

Speaker 19

Listen, I will be there in spirit.

Speaker 23

God bless all of you.

Speaker 1

Thank you so much, my friend Ray and Loveland Race, Scott, how are you doing? This morning's been crazy already.

Speaker 11

Hey, my brother, good morning, Good morning, and happy anniversary, Gary, Jeff Walker.

Speaker 20

Let me tell you something.

Speaker 11

There is no Baseball Hall of Fame without Pete Rose. And it's not Saturday morning without those that voice of years lasting out on the w l W for me and for many many many, So congratulations and I'm so so happy you're almost it's almost a thirty, right, you're getting close to thirty here.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and you know who is celebrating his thirtieth anniversary at Huddles today is Chip Hart. The Big Outdoors has been on seven hundred w l W now for thirty years.

Speaker 20

That guy's a treat.

Speaker 11

He squeezes more into that time slot than it's humanly possible, in my opinion. And he's a nice you know, he's kind of like you're Jerry Lee Lewis, you know, he kind of warms us up a little bit, you know, before Chuck Berry takes page.

Speaker 1

My favorite Big Outdoors show of all time Ray was not too long ago. He had a guy who was an expert at cooking possum and other game, meet raccoons and had some really really interesting ideas for roadkill recipes. And I just loved that. In fact, I want to get that guy in one of my shows.

Speaker 20

But no, I remember that.

Speaker 11

If I had lived in some of the hollers down in Tennessee, where I hail from long ago, I would.

Speaker 20

Have thought that was a joke.

Speaker 19

But that's really true.

Speaker 20

That's stuff you're talking about.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, yeah, all you need is Ellie May and some of those cement biscuits that she makes to go along with him.

Speaker 11

Ellie May would always be welcome, right. I'm in round by the way. I got a little treat for you, so I'll be anniversary of my brother.

Speaker 4

God bless you.

Speaker 1

Thanks Ray same to you appreciate it. So yeah, we're back at the original location at Huddles. Now this is all turned around in the last hour. We are back at Huddles for the anniversary party. And would we just call it one to four? All right? Oh man, I just want to go home and go to bed.

Speaker 30

In this edition of The Marketers Report, Corey Marcisoto, chief marketing officer of Elf Beauty, founding partner of Iheartwomen's Sports, talks about finding the right partners for your brand.

Speaker 17

I see Browns as antennas, and every antenna sends out a frequency. We call it the ELF signal. So we send out the Elf signal, and what comes back is people who want to be a part of this story. Once you know firmly who you are, you've codified it and you can put that out into the universe. What happens from there is it begins.

Speaker 8

To attract kindred spirits.

Speaker 17

Why are we partnered with Billy Jean King because she champions a quality. Why are we partnering with iHeart because we want to advance women in sports.

Speaker 30

Every day we move in and out of each other's busy lives.

Speaker 17

It's easy to take for granted all the little moments that make up our every day.

Speaker 1

Some are good, others not so much, but that's life. It's when you experience a moment of uncertainty.

Speaker 21

Something or someone's behavior that doesn't seem quite right.

Speaker 1

These are the moments to take a poise.

Speaker 8

Because if something doesn't feel right, it's probably nuts.

Speaker 1

It's not about paranoia or being afraid.

Speaker 17

It's about standing up and protecting our communities.

Rain In sixty four right now in Cincinnati. I'm Sandy Collins. Our next update at seven thirty on news Radio seven hundred WLWL.

Speaker 7

News twenty four hours a day. News Radio seven hundred WLW in to.

Speaker 1

Another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday, March fifteenth, twenty twenty five. The IDEs of March and the date of the twenty eighth anniversary party for the Saturday Morning Edition at Huddles Cafe. Once again this year there a newport. Yes, it's gonna be there. How about we talked to our environmental engineer Steve Shulty for just a moment. I see tree seventh green red roses too, I see them blue, and I think to myself, what

a wonder what a wonderful world. Indeed, Steve Shulty, good morning, my friend, how are you?

Speaker 10

Good morning, Gary?

Speaker 4

Jeff has always better night is earned and a lot of praying for today's.

Speaker 1

Oh, no doubt about it. We'll be talking to your son who has been Is he the president of the Hibernian Society. What's what's his actual position, What's what's his actual title?

Speaker 20

This is his eleventh year as chairman of the parade.

Speaker 1

Charity, chairman of the parade committee.

Speaker 4

Okay, yeah, he's also wanted the directors of the State Hibernians, and.

Speaker 20

He was a past president of the local.

Speaker 4

Hibernians, but pretty much state it's the parade committee right now.

Speaker 1

So it's possible then to get termed out as president of the Hibernians. Yeah, okay, all right, but ay, yeah, we'll be talking to Christialty next hour, about eight twenty or so about today's Saint Patrick's Day Parade going on rain or shine in downtown Cincinnati. That's what they always say, and they are true of their word.

Speaker 4

So uh this week, first of all, do one again. This comes from the Heartland Institute heartland dot org their Climate Change Weekly number five thirty seven that just came out just yesterday, what they call.

Speaker 19

Video of the week.

Speaker 4

Why are experts rethinking the tipping point of one point five degree sea warming. So, Gary Jeff, you probably burd you know, if we've been told this for quite a bit a number of years now, that if we exceed one point five degrees celsius over pre industrial levels that's two point seven degrees fahrenheit for those in uh in real Linda, Uh, that we're going to have all kinds of problems. You know, we're just you know, you know, catastrophe,

catastrophic weather and all kinds of stuff. But but where did this quote unquote tipping point come from?

Speaker 19

Uh?

Speaker 4

In this video, Leah Lucan from the Partland Institute breaks it down the origins and exposed a shaky scientific foundation. And you would think, Gary Jeff, that the un would spend millions upon millions upon millions of dollars in order to figure this kind of you know, this thing out, because everything's ending on it. The idea wasn't the result of bigorous climate research. It was a political decision largely shaped by a German advisory board in the nineteen nineties.

This board of eleven people, only one a meteorologists. They kind of did a thought experiment and they basically asked themselves, well, what do we need to do to preserve the present climate in its present form, and that's what the UN had adopted several years later.

Speaker 1

So it wasn't it wasn't SCIENTI it wasn't scientific at all.

Speaker 4

It wasn't scientific at all. And of course we all know from historical data that the Earth has warmed and cold and ice ages have come and gone and whatnot for billions and billions of years. So there has never been static climate.

Speaker 10

For the Earth.

Speaker 1

Yeah, nothing has ever and nothing has ever stayed the same.

Speaker 4

Right in some regions of the Earth, such as Europe, their temperature has already increased more than this. It actually Europe has gone above two point zero degree celsius or three point six degrees fahrenheit.

Speaker 20

That has already happened in Europe, and there's no catastrophees.

Speaker 4

Going on over there. In fact, life expectancy, economic growth, agricultural production have all improved in recent decades, you know. And so you got to ask yourself, well, why does the media keep on telling us this narrative? And it's all about revenue and ratings as far as I'm consumed, you know, fearmongering, uh creates lots of revenue and ratings.

Speaker 1

So why why do you think Steve, Why do you think the television station's news departments spends so much money and have so many meteorologists on staff to scare the bijeebers out of all of us and keep us watching. That's why. Anyway, continue, you got it? Continue? Do you have anything else that?

Speaker 20

Oh?

Speaker 1

I thought you were I didn't know you were done.

Speaker 4

Well, I got a real quickie. If you got we got time.

Speaker 1

I got time for a quickie. Always have time for a quickie.

Speaker 4

Oh, this is Watts up with that dot com? That's wattfs And I think you've had Anthony Watts in your program as I recall. Maybe he's the research with Heartland Institute at heartland dot org. He has his own site.

Speaker 20

Back in March third this year.

Speaker 4

Earlier this month headline new study shows that one than two hundred miles of Antarctic ice covered coastline has grown slightly over the past eighty five years.

Speaker 20

Of course, we've been told.

Speaker 4

Antarctica shrinking, but by using hundreds of old aerial photographs dating back to nineteen thirty seven, combined with computer technology researchers and the University of Copenhagen, they have tracked the evolution of glaciers in East Arctica and have determined that these glaciers have not neither retreat it or advanced or whatnot. The study reveals that they've remained stable but possibly growing slightly over the past eighty five years to do increasing snowfall.

Speaker 1

So no shrinker jan Antarctica. No shrink of Jean Antarctica, and the warmer temperatures are making us healthier and more prosperous. Thank you so much, Steve. As always, we'll hope to see you later and we'll talk to keepsake Kim. Next. So, my buddy and I were at the basketball game last Saturday. Why didn't you go to the hockey game?

Speaker 10

What?

Speaker 1

You hate hockey because you're an ice hater. Look, I'm just telling a joke. You're an ice hater.

Speaker 7

No, sometimes it feels like it's not safe to say anything, but not with Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 31

Good morning, Gary, Jeff. This week a new Hampshire Wiener warning. But first it's a new record. Gary Dishell of Virginia Beach has set a Guinness World Record for the long longest chewing gum rapper chain. He started in nineteen sixty five and now has three million rigly rappers rapped together. We're talking a legit, twenty three miles of gum rappers twisted together. He says they simply started as a kid

and he's never been able to stop. Also, in Virginia, a scary story about a gorilla escaping the Virginia Zoo was posted on social media. It starts on social media and then people start posting and sharing that they are also seeing the gorilla running around town. Just one problem, the zoo never had a gorilla. It was just some good old fashioned fake news fun. Cops arrested six people after they tried to steal a mummy. The mummy is

not Egyptian but has some sort of Christian origins. Police caught them red handed, with the mummy being found at the home of one of the co conspirators in a cardboard box in his garage. And finally, he stripped naked before running across the New Hampshire Highway. The aptly named and you can't make it up Sean Wiener arrested for indecent exposure, ludnus, reckless and disorderly conduct. And the best part, he's actually Sean Wiener senior. Yes, there's a junior Wiener

Speaker 21

Yes as a night of scientists.

Speaker 16

Surprising of Bell blinded me.

Speaker 1

Good morning, Michael, how are you?

Speaker 10

I'm a staple just like your oats in the morning. Huh.

Speaker 1

Speaker 10

All right, how you doing topic anniversaries all the way.

Speaker 1

I'm good, I'm real good. Yeah, that's now now that I know, Now that I know, now that I know for sure where the party is going to happen, I want to be unclear on it this morning. But yeah, we're we're good.

Speaker 28

We're maybe you're just like going to hold it, hold it at the sitting bowl and like not tell it, not to only tell me.

Speaker 10

And then I go there and nobody's there, and I figure you guys were ditching me or something.

Speaker 19

Whatever.

Speaker 1

No, no, no, what do you got for it? This morning?

Speaker 20

We got the U.

Speaker 28

So I want to talk about this for a couple of weeks. Aspiring aspering is known for years that the low dose ASPRON has reduced a spread of certain types of cancer like breast and bow and and prostate cancer specifically mistaticized UH tumors. But uh, I never understood understood why, why, baby, why the sad one milligram low dose aspron did this function? But now they they found it accidentally. Actually they were looking at let's give you a little information here, like

how this works. T cells in the body seek out the metastasized cancer cells that are UH cells I break off from them from the main main tumor cell.

Speaker 10

And there's a gene.

Speaker 28

That is produced in the body that produces a protein called I'll just give it to you a r H G E F one.

Speaker 10

And I won't get into anymore.

Speaker 28

And then we'll call it our that suppresses the T cell. Okay, So remember the T cell kills the cancer cell. Well that the this protein is activated when T cells are exposed to a clotting factor called from boxing.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 28

Now, now from boxing is a it's produced by by platelets and in the in the in the in the body, and platelets help help the body clott and and stop bleeding. Sure, well, what what does aspron do. Aspirin reduces the production of this t X the term boxing UH that is activating

one that that helps suppress the T cell. So the aspirin allows this UH this protein to not be created and it so it will not inhibit the T cell production, which you need to obviously do its job to to help the body keep its immune system going and fight these break off cancer cell. So now we know how exactly the astrom works, which I think is you know, it's a simple thing sometimes, like we always talk about Gary Jeff, that the simple.

Speaker 10

Things are we overlook.

Speaker 28

This is not to say you should go out and start taking eighty one milligrams of ask.

Speaker 10

For you should always talk to your doctor.

Speaker 1

But well I have been a religious aspirin taker, not even eighty one milligrams. They got some three twenty fives on me this morning. Really, I just I think it's a miracle drug. If you're not allergic, you ought to take aspirin. I recommend it.

Speaker 10

Highly, Yes, sir, and I'll be seeing you around one o'clock.

Speaker 1

All right, brother good, okay, good looking out that Teresa is on the line. Will have a chance to perhaps talk to her in just a moment. And Brother Rick Green is waiting for a little bit of truth on a Saturday morning. Coming up in minutes.

Rain and sixty three degrees in Kinwood. Right now, there are some heavier pockets of showers and we'll continue to be so for the next couple of hours around the Tri state area. We get a break in the afternoon, and then about four or five it kicks back in in earnest and there are some possibilities of severe weather thunderstorms, hail, heavy or high wind, and the ever slightest possible of a tornado somewhere in the area. But we'll just kind of keep an eye out and check that for you.

Seventy one today, only fifty six tomorrow for a high partly cloudy, and fifty eight on Monday arches here and that could mean freezing tempts one day.

Speaker 1

You know, And that's it. As a Christian, as a Christian believer, and you and I both are we confess to be. We know that without Jesus, no matter, there's no way we can make up for our sin. There's no way. And every single one of us human beings has that frailty, that fault, that weakness, and the only way to get right with God is through Jesus Christ.

Speaker 10

We know that, and that precious mighty and holy name.

This morning, at nine, Mike Allen goes full thor and wields his mighty Devil of Justice on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 20

Speaker 15

A busy weather day around the Tri STATEA tornado watch is an effect until ten am for the majority of the area. We've also got a floodwatch and effect from most of the area and a wind advisory. Showers and storms will be possible this morning with a severe threat and then again this afternoon evening. Make sure you are staying weather aware and keeping up to date with WCPO. From a severe weather station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred w WELW.

Speaker 1

As we continue on this Saturday morning, eight twenty two, it is and on our phone line is Chris Shalty. If the last name sounds familiar, well you're right. His dad, Steve, has been a part of this show almost since the very beginning. And now Chris, who is a chairperson of the Saint Patrick's Day Parade, which steps off in downtown Cincinnati on the IDEs of March. A little later this morning, is on the line with us to tell us about the parade and what we can expect this year outside

of the weather. Good morning, Chris, How are you?

Speaker 20

Good morning, Gary?

Speaker 10

Fantastic?

Speaker 1

Yep, So rain or shine, this always happens. I mean, what, what what kind of weather we have last year for this parade? Chris? I can't remember.

Speaker 4

So last year it was actually fairly sunny, just chilly, it was. It was the height of high was forty three. But really when the paride stepped off, we were we were kind of in a high thirties.

Speaker 20

It didn't feel bad begin to begin, because.

Speaker 4

The sun was out and and you know, we're blessed down on the along the banks. You know, there's not a lot of trees, so you get you get sun beating right on you, so does it kind of it didn't feel too bad all we I would say, I would take that normally over the majority of the other weather incidents we've had over the years.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you're no stranger to having rain sometimes and all kinds of snow. Probably a few years. Yeah, now what times.

Speaker 4

Just two years ago, we were our parade went on and was in the teams, you know, and I know you know that a lot of people, you know, a lot of people you know, for safety reasons, didn't come out when it's that cold. But there was still quite a big presence that Cincinnati. Whether they're Irish or not, they still showed up even.

Speaker 20

When it was cold.

Speaker 1

Warm today, But we've got the weather possibilities. What time does the parade began, Chris? What time do you step off and where from?

Speaker 4

So we we step off at noon at least that is the planned time. Look, you know, safety is still important to us, so we're we're thankful that we've got some flexibility with.

Speaker 20

That start time.

Speaker 4

The planet to start at noon starts at Marrying and Central, so right there at the southwest corner of Paul Brown Stadium and then proceeds all the way along Marrying again. If the weather should be an issue, and we've we've got some condigency plans to be in communication with CPD and CFD, you know, we can.

Speaker 20

Delay the parade a little bit.

Speaker 4

Our paray takes about an hour and a half hour and forty five minutes, but we actually have a four hour window with the city to get our event done, so we can be flexible should should the weather forces to push off. But I'm optimistic, and it looks like the forecast is going to break for us.

Speaker 1

Yeah, looks looks like you're going to get that break that window between like ten thirty eleven o'clock in about three or four this afternoon. We wish, we wish a great weather, We wish safety for everyone who attends. And again, it's a Marringway and where does it begin?

Speaker 4

As it goes all the way along Marring Way, so all the way past Small Park and then cuts up north Joe Nuxall and then returns all the way down Freedom Way, so cutting through the.

Speaker 20

Heart of the banks.

Speaker 4

So you know, the ideal places usually are somewhere along Smelle Park or a long Freedom Way in front of any one of the numerous establishments there, or the parks and patios out there.

Speaker 1

Will you be throwing lepre cons to the children.

Speaker 20

Not leper cons.

Speaker 4

There could be green beaves in people's futures, that's for sure, okay. And this year we've we've got Hall of Famer Anthony Munos is our honorary Graham Marshall.

Speaker 1

So he decides to make fifteen dollar bills, which he is wonderful at perfect But who's he going to pass off a fifteen dollars bill to? So he goes he tries to find some small town roubes.

Over the years you've brought them into your home. We were prescribed opioids after the C section, when dad injured us back, when your basketball star tore his acl Opioids helped with the pain, and you held onto them just in case.

Speaker 1

But did you know holding onto.

Speaker 6

Unused opioids puts your family at risk. Opioids are powerful pain reducing prescription medicines, but most people who are prescribed opioids don't finish their prescriptions, so millions of unused opioids are sitting at homes across the country, and tragically, more than one hundred Americans die every day from overdoses involving opioids.

Speaker 30

What can you do to.

Protect your family? Remove the risk of unused opioids from your home, pills, patches or syrups and drawers, purses and cabinets anywhere they might be hiding. To find out how to dispose of them properly, visit www dot FDA dot gov slash Drug Disposal.

One of our Saturday Morning family for a number of years now, Moeger, and we are proud to call him part of our Saturday Morning edition family into its twenty eighth year now. And I've known Mo for those entire twenty eight years. He wasn't on the Saturday Morning program, accept at the very beginning when he was the producer

of this program. And now he's here with us again for a second, we like to call I don't know how we came up with this name.

Speaker 19

Hey Mo, congratulations, Thank you twenty eight years man. That is awesome.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it is, you know, And and you've been around the entire time you were you were a kid, and you were producing Jim Scott Show and producing Mine on Saturday Morning and uh I'm proud to say that you were hardly ever late for my show.

Speaker 19

I was late, but hardly ever is a fair hardly ever? I I was Uh you know, I was late for Jim Scott show exactly twice. And after the second time, uh my guy made it known as that happened again, I might as well not even come in. You were a little bit more understanding. You were late once when I was producing.

Speaker 1

Absolutely, And see, that's that's the whole that's the whole dynamic there that people don't think about if they get upset with someone for being tardy or late for a job, is that the next time the shoe will be on the other foot and you will be you will be eating humble pie. So I try, I try to be as as as easy going on that liamspin late, Yes he has. I see that the dog is on time this morning.

Speaker 19

A dog is on time barking at something outside.

Speaker 1

Yes, oh man, I miss I miss my cat dog. He didn't bark, but you know he did all the other things that dogs do. Uh So anyway, uh, I wanted to start with this. A good coach can be a good coach anywhere, regardless of regardless of the school, that they're at. And I'm talking about college mainly college basketball coaches, but college football coaches also. If if there is quality there, you've got to have great players or good players to achieve. Good are great things, no doubt

about it, in sports. But they you know, these guys show up in different places at different times on their coaching career and they're still great. An example a right now is Rick Patino at Saint John's.

Speaker 19

I think he's the greatest coach in the history of college basketball. And I know there are going to be some people who don't like to hear that, but he's never gone anywhere at the collegiate level where he hasn't won. You know, this is a guy who took Providence to

a Final Four in nineteen eighty seven. The success he had at Kentucky, and you know, you might go, well, yeah, it's Kentucky, but I you know, I think there are people who don't remember when he took over at Kentucky what had happened to that program because of NCAA probation.

He had insane success at Louisville in multiple conferences. You know, he was he was the coach at Louisville when they were in Conference USA, when they were in the Big East, when they in the American Athletic Conference, and took Iona to the NCAA Tournament a couple of years ago. And he's got Saint John's as a bona fide Final four

caliber team. But I think what's most interesting about Rick Patino specifically at Saint John's, you know, when you think of you know, certainly his years at Kentucky, he was the first coach to really embrace the three, or maybe not the first, but the first coach to embrace the three and have large scale success where they were pressing, trapping and shooting threes. Well, now in college basketball, everybody is shooting threes, and if you watch Saint John's, they're

a little bit more of a throwback, right. They don't shoot the three nearly as well, They don't shoot the three nearly as much. They played really physical basketball. They played really hard nosed basketball, And to me, that's the sign of a great coach, somebody who can take his players and go, Okay, here's the system we're going to have around these players. I know he has said and done a lot of really controversial things. I know, the national title at Louisville was vacated, which I think is

a stupid punishment. But I think he's the greatest coach in the history of college basketball. And by the way, folks are going to say, well, he failed with the Boston Celtics.

Speaker 18

And he did.

Speaker 19

He also had success in the pros with the New York Knicks, which he who he coached after he left Providence. I think he's great for the sport. I'm glad he's back in the sport.

Speaker 20

And you're right, there are a lot of.

Speaker 19

His contemporaries who have acclaimed to that title. But I think that the number of schools that he has won at the influence the ways he has won. I think he's the greatest coach in college basketball history.

Speaker 1

Hey, you know, and here's just an addendum to that. And I don't think that he's anywhere close to Patino. And a lot of people don't like him, Bruce Pearl. I mean, look at what he's done at Auburn.

Speaker 19

Correct, Yeah, one at UW Milwaukee, one at Tennessee. Has an Auburn team that when they're going offensively, they are some see you know, to behold has had him in final fours. Yeah, I you know, it's it's funny. Over the last five or six years, we've had some absolute titans of the of the sport leave. Mike Ryzewski has retired, Roy Williams has retired, and I think many have wondered, like, all right, well, you know who's going to fill that void?

Jay Wright retired, who won two national titles with Villanova last decade. There are still some awesome coaches. NATO's at Alabama. You know you saw last night if you're a Kentucky fan, what what Alabama can do offensively? They are something took be hold when when they are clicking on all cylinders offensively. Danny Hurley at Yukon, who is a very polarizing personality. Uh, there's some great ones. Bruce Pearl is obviously on that list.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. You mentioned Alabama. Uh, they're one of the few teams that can give Auburn fits or is proven to you know, and that a that Auburn team is just man, I don't I don't know who's gonna beat them, but the SEC will have a good shot at having three out of four final four teams. Do you still think that possible?

Speaker 19

The story of the year in college basketball is how good the SEC has been.

Speaker 10

Where you know, if you.

Speaker 19

Follow people who project brackets, bracketologists, if you look at you know, in the one seed line or the two seed line or the three seed line, there hasn't been a lot of movement, may mainly because it's so populated by SEC teams, right. I mean, they obviously didn't win last night, and the game kind of got away from them in the second half. But I thought, if Kentucky can win the SEC tournament, that's one of the greatest

feats in the history of the program. Winning that league with its depth, as good as Florida is, as good as Tennessee has been this year, they were number one in the country for two weeks, as good as Auburn is, as good as Alabama is the top of that conference, and then you kind of go through the middle of it, where you know, Texas obviously has a chance to make the NCAA tournament. Entucky is probably going to be a three seed, at least a four seed. Offensively, the Wildcats

are very very good. Uh, it's a great, great league, But yeah, v.

Speaker 1

Vanderbilt Commodorees are going to make the NCAA to with a twenty and twelve record and like a five hundred record in the SEC during the regular season. I mean, yes, sure are Yeah.

Speaker 19

So I think if you were to sit down and go, okay, here are the teams you're gonna make a bet and go okay, here are the teams I want to bet on to make a final four, uh, you would start with at least three SEC teams and maybe four. I think, depending on how you feel about Tennessee.

Speaker 1

What is it going to take for a team like the University of Cincinnati Bearcats to reach this level?

Speaker 19

A lot of money? Yeah, you know, I mean that's that's the obvious answer. It's gonna take a lot of money. Programs down a crossroads. I think it's fair to say, you know, west Miller has I thought it was first three years, did a really good job of stabilizing the program, which is not easy to do. This year, though, goes down as a huge disappointment. I think there are really talented individual players on that team, but the pieces just

didn't fit. And so I think Wes is going to have to spend this offseason figuring out a way to put together a roster that is more experienced, that is older that has more players who can do more than one thing, and then figuring out how to get the pieces to fit This season was not so much. We went into the season thinking UC can make the NCAA Tournament. And I think if I would have said to anybody back in October the Bearcats aren't going to make the

NCAA Tournament, I would have been laughed at. They were supposed to make the NCAA tournament, not because they are ready to compete with Houston or Arizona or the upper tier of the upper tier teams in the Big Twelve, but they were supposed to take care of business against teams like Kansas State were they lost to Kansas State twice, Oklahoma State, they lost to Oklahoma State, the lower rung or middle of the pack teams in the Big Twelve.

And they couldn't do that. And so I think they're gonna need a roster overhaul.

Speaker 10

I think they're gonna need.

Speaker 19

They're gonna need in the Big Twelve. You need NBA players. Now. They may get one this offseason, a young man by the name of Shawnabiev who is McDonald's All American. But I think this offseason is gonna unfold and this season's gonna unfold with West Miller dealing with a lot of pressure because the fan base is impatient. Cincinnati hasn't competed

in the NCAA Tournament since twenty nineteen. If we are still saying the same thing a year from now, I think we're going to be having some very unpleasant conversations about West Miller.

Speaker 1

Are we going to see high school players get paid like college players? Have we gone to that level with the nil? Or with competition among high school kids? I mean, or is the competition really for these elite teams, these prep schools where some kids from high school are going now in lieu of public schools and whatever.

Speaker 19

Well, if somebody's willing to pay, and then the answer is yes, you know, NIL in college sports is about to change, at least to a degree where we're about to have revenue sharing in college basketball and in college sports overall, where schools are going to be able to share revenues with the athletes. We're not going to have that at the high school level, but sure if a shoe company or someone wants a high school kid to endorse. Now this is going to vary. I think from state

to state. Every state has different rules, but absolutely we're going to have nil in high school sports. And I think to a very large degree across the country you could find cases what we already do.

Speaker 10

Yeah.

Speaker 1

I was just trying to figure out how Lebron James say, a kid, you know, twenty years ago, I was driving a Hummer when he was a senior in high school. It's mom's car. Yeah, okay, sure. So what else we got on the table? We got the free agency in the NFL. How of the Bengals. How would you rate the Bengals so far as far as signing players and attracting free agents or looking at free agents to help for twenty twenty five?

Speaker 19

Well, I think if you were to pay attention to the last seven days, let's just make it about the last seven days and what the Bengals have done and what they haven't done, you would arrive at the conclusion that the Bengals offensive line last year was really, really good because it's gone untouched. And obviously you and I know from watching the season that's not the case. And so the most frustrating thing for me is that they

haven't acquired a guard in free agency. Now you'll hear the name Pevin Jenkins this weekend, who is somebody that they're apparently interested in. But he is going to meet with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. If on the Bengals, I don't let him get to Seattle. I don't let him take that meeting. And you know this week there's two different issues. Right there's acquiring players from outside who can help them. And they did sign a defensive tackle

by the name of PJ. Slayton, who I think is really going to be able to help against the run. But that defense was bad last year. We thought they were going to overhaul it. They haven't used free agency to overhaul it. There's that issue. But then there's also the issue with retaining their own guys. And they brought that Mike MIKEDSICKI that's a good signing. They brought back Joseph Osai. I think that's a pretty good signing on a one year deal. They brought back Cody Ford to

give him some offensive line depth. I think we would agree that that's pretty good. There's momentum if you followed some of the national reporting last night that they're going to get extensions done with Jamar Chase and t Higgins here very soon, which is great, but those players were already under contract for twenty twenty five. They really haven't done all that much to improve the twenty twenty five season relative to what we watched in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1

It would be nice to see Trey Henderson back, you know, doing his thing, especially if Aaron Rodgers is going to be playing for the Steelers. I mean, Trey Hendrickson just looking at his chops chopping down that statue on a regular basis. All right, Mo, we'll talk to you later.

Also, you see, they made the list of sixty colleges that have received letters from the Department of Education, the soon to be defunct Department of Education, that they're under investigation for tolerating acts of anti Semitism.
