showers and thunderstorms. A little bit later this morning, it's just foggy, just kind of soupy. I have seventy eight today, gradual clearing as we get into this evening. Tomorrow morning's low sixty tomorrow's high eighty two, with Sunday being a pretty decent day. Monday too looks good with a lot of sunshine and high's right around eighty degrees. It is sixty one now at seven hundred WLW. There's a lot to celebrate this month, graduations, the end

of the school year in warmer months lying ahead. Really sick. They're different than us too. That's why the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is introducing the Deer to Dream Project, with the largest global clinical trial for kids with blood cancer.

Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you by NITSA and AD Council. Remember back when songs told stories before gangster rap? Hello, honey, it's me. What did you think when you heard me back on the radio. What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost

daddy, the great Harry Chabin w Olg. Remember how we listened to the radio and I said that's the place to be. And how I got the job is an FM job? To d you married me six four It was two kids and I was in the air rock but I just had to run around taking your request. Been eight years since electropy. Let me tell you about what's gone down. Tell me about what's gone down, Harry DJ at w l w w W OLD Radio Rip. Good Morning's good morning, Gary

gl oh Yes, So how are you receiving this this morning? And how's the day going so far? For you? Day's going great because you're coming in five by five and that's you know, that gets me up in the morning. This is from nineteen twenty eight. I love this radio nineteen twenty eight, nineteen twenty We are coming in five by five. That's quite an Accountlissment, tell me about it. Yeah, it's a good Intena too, But yeah, from the Grigsby Grunow Heinz Company of Chicago. Thankfully they didn't

use that name. It's a Majestic Model seventy two. It's what they call a high boy console, which means the legs are more than fifty percent as tall as the radio itself, and the radio and all of its components weigh a freaking ton as opposed to a metric ton, and the legs are spindle so you get to make sure all the glue is fresh and tight. Otherwise the thing that's turned to the kidney, but absolutely gorgeous cabinet with in mahogany

with two doors that close over the front. Because in nineteen twenty eight, heaven't forbid anybody knew you had a radio, I guess. But this thing has eight tubes, a lot of unique and innovative designs in it. It's a what they call a modified TRF three stage with a single tuning control and having only one knob for tuning in nineteen twenty eight was it was a thing to behold. It really wasn't a huge technological advancement. It was just a

really good idea that others hadn't thought of. But and it has. It's a separate AC power supply that fits in the very top where the speaker is and the radio is beneath that, So you still have to get on your knees to tune the thing while the sound is blaring you in the face. Being a TRF radio, the volume actually adjusts the antenna rather than the output, so if you have the volume turned down you can't pick up anything even quietly. You have to turn the intent to the volume up to get the

signal. And then as you're tuning slowly, if it starts to get really loud, then you have to back off with the volume and the other Well, let's go to the catalog, shall we? Oh aol. This is

one of my favorite parts of this whole deal. But it sounds like a pretty darned advanced radio for nineteen twenty eight and gorgeous, yes, and majestic that the Grigsby Grunow company, they made some incredible sets and they were ahead of their time, definitely, But well it was just a couple of comments, uh two one one power tubes connected in push pull in the power output stage. How many people knew what the heck that man's I don't know what

it means right now? Yeah, it gosh. And then single dial control supplemented by a secondary control for obtaining additional selectivity when occasion demands. This is actually cool. What it is is it's a I'd almost call it a squelch control. It's something to calm down the signal on the antenna if it's too strong. But it's mechanical. It puts this brass cup over the coil, so the coil doesn't work so well. It's it's something to be and it's

gorgeous even though it's under the chassis. It's like it's like a muted horn exactly, Yeah, in an orchestra. Yeah, except instead of muting the audio, this is muting the field that's created around the coil. Its wild design. Now, the most important thing I want to call out here volume control, instantaneous in action. Okay, I understand each of those words individually,

but not in that order. That's beautiful. And then finally, in beautiful wall of cabinet with front panels and doors of matched Burrow walnut, complete with Majestic electric power unit and Majestic dynamic power speaker. Okay, now, a couple of things cost two hundred and ten dollars twenty five cents. That's three eight hundred and fifty five bucks today for an AM radio. You get what you pay for, man, Well, no you don't because priced less tubes. Oh, no, tubes. The tubes were extra. The tubes

were really good. Yeah, they were typically in the late twenties nearly thirties, because the vast majority of these radios used the same tube types. So by doing that, somebody could save money by not having to spend the extra money on a radio if they already had the same tubes from the last radio which turned out to be a piece of junk or got obsolete six months after

they pot it in. You know it. I don't. I'm not completely convinced about all this, because if you're spending thirty eight hundred dollars on a radio, I think the tubes aren't going to send you back. Now, if you got that kind of coin in nineteen twenty eight, y're good, and hopefully and hopefully the next year you weren't diving off of building when the

stock market crashed up. Kidding well, thank you very much. It's very enlightening always, and I love I love the catalog descriptions of these beautiful old beasts. All right, some of the sentences have verbs. Old radio Rick at gmail dot com. If you'd like to get in touch with mister Washburn, it's twenty minutes past the hour seven hundred WLW. Is dear special time you like to listen to Scott Sloane. I listened to Sony in the shower. Tell me more, and I pretend he can see me. You mean,

seriously, whenever I'm down, I listen to feel better. Not a bad idea. I listen every day at work. My job really sucks. Yeah, and now we tell I listened all the time. The guy smart and funny. How about that? And he's sexy like a Chippendale. I guess anytime is the right time for Sloaney. That's what we've been saying.

Firmacy of your weather station. I'm nine first winning meteorologist Cameron Harton on news Radio seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW. Sports FC Cincinnati goes for to three matches one in one week. Tonight, right

liamy FC Cincinnati hosts Saint Louis FC at TQL Stadium Tonight. Pregame couch begins at seven kickoff of stet for seven thirty on ESPN fifteen thirty. The Orange and Blue are currently second in the Eastern Conference, one point behind enter MIAMIFC and nineteen year old Kevin Kelsey looks to continue his heart hot start and score three goals in all games. And the weather looks fantastic for the march all the way through the match, So that's cool. The Reds are still on

the Red West Coast. Correct feels like they've been out there forever, but yes, they are still on the West Coast. After winning the first game of four games set against the Dodgers, they fall seven to three. Late last night, Mookie Betts got things started early for the Dodgers with a solo shot. Then Sho Hee Otani on Sho Hey Otani Day in Los Angeles,

launches a two run home run to extend the lead to three. The Reds tied up thanks to a Stevenson and Fairchild solo shot in the Mookie Bets throwing air, but Fernando Cruz and Alexis Diez gave up four runs in the bottom of the seventh and eighth combined. It has not been a pretty may. They're back at it today. Yes, Reds play at nine to ten the night, a little earlier than the nine to forty start last night at Dodgers

Stadium. Inside pitch begins at eight ten, and you can catch all the action right here on seven hundred WLW tell me about the PGA Championship in Louisville. Pg Championship at Valhalla has been interesting in all different aspects. On the course. Off the course, Xandershawflay leads the field at twelve under through the first two rounds. There's ten players within four strokes lead. There's plenty more

within five and six strokes. I think with the way Valhalla plays. The winner is probably gonna be at minus eighteen under at the end of the tournament, and Sanders Schoffle has known for choking leads, so we'll see how this goes. And after yesterday Scottie Scheffer managed to shoot five under after warming up in prison or in jail. I wonder if he'll he'll take the PGA Championship with the ankle monitor on. Lots of action in the NBA. The Pacers

force a Game seven with the Knicks. Yeah, Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks one sixteen to one oh three last night the force of Game seven. The home team has won every game in this series so far. I'm not really a New York Knicks fam but that atmosphere is awesome. So Game seven in New York with the celebrities and the fans should be exciting. Sunday afternoon is a total sports day. The PGA Championship. Close contention Pacers versus

Knicks Game seven in the afternoon. In Game seven between the Nuggets and Timberwolves at night. All right, it looks like we'll have to save that little

jam we talked about for another segment. But there was quite a contentious cat fight on Capitol Hill yesterday at the committee meeting to decide whether they were going to charge Attorney General Merrick Garland with contempt of Congress for not releasing the entire her been her Robert Hurr interview with Joe Biden when her concluded that Joe Biden couldn't be charged with any crimes because he was an old, old man, an elderly man with a poor memory, and we wanted the audio just in

time for the presidential campaign. It's six twenty seven. We'll talk to the folks in Ripley. There was a special day at Snapper's Saloon where this odyssey started. I don't know six seven years ago of them being on the radio from a bar early in the morning. Snapper Saloon is celebrating a milestone anniversary. We will cover that for you in moments. I know you're on the

edge of your seats. Seven hundred WLW. Here's what's trending from the Iheartsports Network presented by DraftKings Fantasy Sports. There will be a Game seven in the Eastern Conference semi Finals after the Basers answered coach Rick Carlile's challenge from Game five and blow out the Knicks in Indiana. In Major League Baseball, the Reds couldn't stab the Dodgers from pulling away with two separate two run rallies as they fall in LA and Ohio State appears to be in the race for a former

LSU commit white out. Nikorey and Moore at the five star Reproof will take an official visit on May thirty. Cards I'm Jendi haferan check out what DraftKings has to offer this season with Code Sports, because life's more fun when you're in on the action DraftKings. The crown is yours gambling. Probably they use four gaps. A few showers possible this morning as tempertures are around the low sixties. You warm to the mid seventies this afternoon, with once again a

chance for an isolated shower or a downpour. The good news is clouds decreased tonight and you're looking at a mostly sunny Sunday with temperatures in the low eighties. Firmacy of your weather station. I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW sixty one and fog right now here in the Tri

State and o rain on the radar. Our next update at seven. I'm Sandy Collins, News Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day, News Radio, seven hundred w l W. I'm toasting you, Sid Honey, we may meet through. You'll never care me. Complay goes at friends. No place is where the whiskey brown clad there, James, I'm blue. Yeah, No, one of those places where the whiskey grounds and the

We turn our attention east of Cincinnati through Hamilton and Claremont, and then how now Brown County to the lovely village of Ripley o' high, which at the moment does not have a police force. I couldn't believe it, but don't worry. The Sheriff's cut things under control. That'd be Andy and Barney's around there somewhere too. Let's go now to Snapper's

Saloon. And I got to tell you before we intro, before we introduce the gang at Snappers Saloon, I've got to I've got to say that I had absolutely Christ to two point zero and I had the best time this past Wednesday night at Brookies for the Queen of Hearts drawing. It was like Woodstock minus the nudity and mud thankfully. Uh and uh that's because Sherry wasn't there. If Sherry had been there, all bets are off. But anyway, Uh, it was a great time and the drawing, Uh, nobody won.

So it's a backup over likely over a quarter million dollars. I think next Wednesday night at Brookies. Get that out of the way. But it is a special It is a special morning, a special weekend at Snappers Saloon where this whole thing got started. Good morning, gang, good morning. Hey, we're full at you were continuing that good time at Brookies here this morning. But Snappers is on our mind though with their thirty fifth anniversary tomorrow.

What happened wasn't Jones up technical difficulties? How about that? Oh okay, we'll go with that. You told me last night you're going to be at Snappers, so I'm only going by what I was instructed. So we're back at Brookies where there was a wonderful, wonderful time to be had by all, and there will be again, I'm sure. I mean, if you look Google Earth this past Wednesday, Snappers, I mean Brookies was probably number one on the map in the entire Continental U United States. For the

crowd that was there, it was incredible. It was a great time. But we did mention that snappers thirty fifth anniversary is this weekend, with or without technical difficulties. What's going on in Brookies? Hey, tonight four guys, that's short of the five guys. The four guys band will be here at night. Fuck. And that's basically about it for the seasoning, but the build up is for next Wednesday for that quarter million dollars. Sherry,

how is the how's the beaver looking this morning? Well? I couldn't hardly find him because there's so much fog here, but he's growing around on the river bank somewhere. But anyway, the red Rocks that's gonna be pretty the next three days. Staffers is going to have a great time tomorrow for their anniversary party, so that's good.

Steve FROMTNA coming up, prist ate Chevrolet buyers. It's a buyer's bonanza at

my castronger episode of your tax Dollars at work? Hid it? William, don't allow me to calm down because y'all talk and you were out of control. I'd like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Mershawn's daughter, please send me what it has to do with Mary Garland. Is she a porn star? Well, you don't want to talking about I think your fake eyelashes are messing up. That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you are your feelings? Her words down? Oh girl, baby girl?

Oh really don't even play. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's leach, blind, bad built bush body, that would not be engaging in personalities. Correct? Oh what now? That actually happened on the floor of the House of Representatives. Marjorie Taylor Green AOC and some other black congresswoman who no one cares about except maybe the few people in her district that

voted for So that is what's going on with yours and my money. I don't know if he'll have any comments on that, but he always has a comment on something, And here he is with those Steve from mett in, Ohio News of the Week and a fifty phone call. Good morning, Steven, good morning. You know all the congressional girls listen to Willie Okay, May, thank you. May is Mary's mouth? By the way, we forget that sometimes if you were raised a Roman Catholic, it's thirty one days

of honoring the mother of Jesus Christ. Let's see how a socialist Democrat and a conservative Roman Catholic differ in their view of how to raise adolescents to be good citizens. Kamala Harris, in an attempt to bring more class to the office of Vice President and Democrats in general, addressed a group of Asian American young people on the subject of how to get ahead. She assumed they needed to know that that there are barriers to getting ahead, unaware that they already

know how to overcome such with strong family ties. Studying hard and working smarter. That's why they are doing better than whites, blacks or Hispanics. But Kamala said, they probably need to quote kick the effing door down to get ahead. Her less than class a dropping of the F bomb. Maybe why Earlier in the week she failed to get a single vote for best in class at the Westminster Dog Show. Again she's an honorary participant. Hey, commy, don't let the effing door hit you in the fanny. On the way

out of Washington. By the way, those Asian Americans were cheering at what you said, because Kamala is the F bomb in Mandarin Chinese. Contrast her performance with that of Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison. Butker, the graduation speaker, had Benedictine Catholic College in Kansas, where he talked about being a Christian in one's personal life and career, and the importance of women, especially wives

and mothers in family life. His remarks were devoid of F bombs. He especially honored his stay at home and wife, who he said made him the man he is today. Page two. Since we are now now in a huge influx in our country of Muslim women and a tremendous Islamic influence on seemingly

all of our college campuses. All this talk about the role of women has got me to thinking Muslims in general are not particularly enamored of LBGQ that movement, especially so almost all of them, men and women alike, should be opposed to the trams craze, particularly involving parents not being able to interfere with the sexual mutilation of their children. I suspect Muslims of most stripes are also

not fond of abortion. Likewise, Muslims must be horrified by the idea of cross addressing biological males switching to women's sports teams, especially when they share the same locker room. Why do I not hear an outcry from American Muslims or Muslims anywhere. Isn't this more important than killing Jews? Interestingly, radical Muslims and Orthodox Jews pretty much share the same views on these subjects, don't they. How about reaching across the aisle, We could start with the menu for

a celebratory dinner. Neither one of those groups likes pork. I would also love to see an enterprising journalist, if there is one. Seek Muslim apologist comments on Harrison Butker's description of a holy life. How about a fellow pro athlete like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who lately has become unofficial spokesman for all things Islam. This isn't just a Catholic thing. Let's get ecumenical. Jabbar,

by the way, was raised a Roman Catholic. During the commencement address, this is peace, thank you, Harrison Butker also roasted the bishops of his Catholic church, thank God, implying the laity has to take control of the church. If so, they are going to have to hurry up. Pope Francis has probably been listening to New York Mayor Eric Adams, who joked this

week about illegals crossing the Rio Grande. Faced with a shortage of lifeguards at city pools this summer, Adams suggested using the illegals because they can swim. Wow, and people accuse Trump of loose lips. My God, and of course Eric Adams still has his job. Rumor has it, the radical left Pope for Francis may try to fill his vacancies of priests and nuns with swimmers that Adams doesn't hire. Since Catholic NGOs have been assimilating unvetted illegals, by

the way, using some federal money to do it. Page four. So how does a chronically corrupt Democrat senator treat his lady of the House. This week, Bob Menendez threw her under the boss, using that flip Wilson the devil made me do it defense. He laid the blame for all of his problems entirely on his wife. Didn't have anything to do with his using his political position to curry favor from a foreign government. Speaking of trading on his

political connections, Hunter Biden's trial in Delaware is now set. Rumor has it that the reason Papa Joe doesn't like Israel anymore is that he tried to get Hunter an eighty five thousand dollars a month job in the Israeli Energy Office that ended when Hunter possibly stoned told bb Netanyahu that quote October seventh was Israel's January six. Not a good analogy, Page five, But there is hope. Trustees at the University of North Carolina go tar heels. Have shut down the

DEI office and are using the fund saved to hire campus cops. This is why I have been advocating for decades that we vote for state university trustees in general elections. Here's one for you. We'll leave you with a quote, folks, this is well. I won't tell you who said this. Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the mouth. That is a beautiful piece of advice for Hamas, isn't it. And the guy who said that he should know, Mike Tyson Iron Mike Well. Have a good weekend,

everybody, and remember this is Mary's month. Bless you. Steve. Steve from at in Ohio. Good morning, Chris to two point zh just got my good morning, my love text from my wife and she absolutely echoes Harrison Butker's comments in his commencement speech at Benedictine because she is vowed to be a homemaker but not a mother. It's a little bit too late for that, thanks honey. Six fifty five seven hundred WLW. Weather got you worried he's

over ripping as you covered Paul five one three. Start with temperatures in the low sixties throughout this afternoon, a few isolated showers and impossible storm or two in the afternoon, high in the mid to upper seventies. Firma severe weather station I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harton on news radio seven hundred WLW. Most of the fog is on the outer belt of two seventy five, but right now there are no problems in the downtown Cincinnati area. Right now we're

looking at sixty one degrees at seven o five. Next news at seven thirty. I'm Sandy Collins on news Radio seven hundred WLWA News twenty four hours a day, News Radio seven hundred w l W. Jeff Weylerhonda dot Com into another hour of this Saturday morning edition for Saturday May eighteenth, twenty twenty four. I'm Gary, Jeff Walker. You are you, and that's perfectly fine with me. Go go go do you? It's all right? Uh, seven o six on a Saturday morning, and it's time to visit our environmental

engineer Steve Schulte some truth. I see tree seven green resist, I see them blue's five and I'm into myself what I wonder? Thank you, sir,

Good morning, Steven, How are you? Good morning, Gary, Jeff ben And on this great day, you know you you were just speaking you kind of you text me after my little comment about Harrison Butker uh and the comments he made at Benedictine College this week that were so supposedly controversial for some reason, and the NFL had to distance themselves from his comments about traditional UH norms of faith, his Catholic faith and the role of men and women

and all the other things that some people took exception with because they have mental issues. But you said that you've been blessed with two superb wives and UH and knowing knowing the history and knowing the fact that you lost your Connie and found Robin is just amazing. And it's a I think it's to me, it's a testament, a tribute to your faith in God, in God's grace and goodness. You got it. Yeah, So congratulations, all right.

This weekend of scientific education nondoctor Nation comes from sea fact dot org from this past Thursday, May sixteenth. The article title facts Gaining Ground on climate and the first one Gary Jeff I want it. It's from an wolf Ugin of the University of Cambridge. He got dis published in Nature magazine, so I got to quote it. It's really super It says I see potential conflicts when

scholars use information selectively and over attribute problems to human cause. Warming and thus politicize climate and environmental change without self critique and of diversity of viewpoints, scientists will ultimately harm the credibility of the research while they are now and possibly cause

a wider public, political, and economic backlash. I find it misleading when prominent organizations such as the UNIPCC in the latest summary for policymakers, tends to overstate scientific understanding of the rate of recent human cause warming relative to the range of temperature and variability over the last two thousand or even one hundred and twenty

five thousand years. The quality and quantity of available climate proxy records that's like tree rings and ice core samples and whatnot are merely too low to allow for a robust comparison of the observed annual temperature extremes in the twenty first century against reconstructed long term climate means of the last Holocene, which is basically the last since the last ice Age and before. Like all science science, climate science

is tentative and fallible. And this is huge because Nature magazine has been cheerolating may have made catastrophic climate change for years, so there's year for them to have this published as something else. Well, they're actutely choosing alternative views. Yes Yes next. From Mammouth University, they did a poll this past April.

The percentage of Americans between ages eighteen and thirty four who see climate change as a various series problem has dropped from sixty seven percent in twenty twenty one to fifty percent today. And this is a generation, Gary Jeff, that since kindergarten, has been indoctrinated on man made catastrophic climate change, and it's fallen. Ages thirty five to fifty four have gone from forty eight to forty four and fifty five and older, that's our generation, Gary Jeff, from

fifty four to forty four percent. And finally, only one third of voters agree that the UN exists. Experts agree with the UN expects that climate change is mainly a human cause, and only fifty percent of voters you climate change is a determining issue on voting in this year's president. And that's just what I was about to point out. Pole after poll has showed that it's not in the top five of most people's reasons or issues that would cause them to

vote one way or another. It is not a top of mind issue, and it's not even a top of mind issue for the eighteen to thirty four group. It's usually not even Usually it's at the bottom of the top ten. I've seen it at bottom of ten. It should be about number one hundred on most thinking people's you know, categories of importance. Thank you so much. As always great information. Not in doctrination.

High in the upper seventies,

gradual clearing overnight. Tomorrow morning's low sixty as you get up, partly cloudy and warm on Sunday, and nice day eighty two and in the upper seventies again on Monday with some pretty nice weather ahead for his couple of minutes of fame, every sort infamy, depending on what he says and where you stand on the issues our physical fitness, our personal trainer, our Spartan recovery guy, and our biohacker. Rocco Costellano joins us once again on a Saturday

morning. Good morning, Rock, How you doing good. I'm doing a great day, Jeff. I'm in Tampa Bay, Florida right now. For using a stadion our race. It's a very different race, okay. Now, explain the difference between a regular Spartan race and what you're doing this weekend with Tampa Bay. So so, a stadian race is basically run in a stadium. We're at a Raymond James Stadium where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and actually

play. And then they and there's obstacles and you are run through and on you know, all the different you know on the field, in the bleachers all over the place, and you have to run through obstacles. No, No, is there is there a portion of this since it's in a football stadium where there's a streaking part of the Spartan race where you have to take off all your clothes and run across the field, will people chase you? Well, there's no, uh, not one part. Do you have to

be streaking? Not one? Just curious? That would be exciting though. That's usually what I think of when people are racing through a football stadium. Is that and then and then the cameras listen, and and the announcers aren't supposed to talk about it, to give them their you know, their due. But anyway, what else is today? Yeah? Today? Besides the Spartan stadium raised, I didn't want to talk to the audience about a Prime. H. Well, there's a drink out there called Prime and it's it's

actually been I've been marketed to children and uh. And there's been a few lawsuits against the company because they touted as a natural energy drink and they and and uh and a law suit has found that this this a particular energy drink has about nine forever chemicals that are in it. And so I recommend or I'm going to tell the audience, absolutely do not let your children drink Prime because there are many of the forever chemicals have to do with with stunting uh

brains growth, a bone growth and all of that. So, okay, now, what what are the what are the forever chemicals that are in Prime? Can you tell me this racco the forever I can't. I don't have the exact names of them right in front of me, but if you look it up, you'll see the lawsuit and they have uh, the specific chemicals in there. There are some obbutterates in that that definitely uh that definitely work

on the brain and diminished of the brains of capacity for memory. And so we wanna we want to limit our our our exposure to anything anything that stunts of the brain's growth at all, you know, especially in a right exactly. And the thing is that children's brains are still forming in fact into early adulthood. And that's one of the reasons that people have discouraged young people, especially from smoking marijuana, for example, because it has a profound fact on

brains that are still being formed. And so these forever chemicals much in the same respect, right, yes, And also there's actually a three phases of a growth in a child's a brain. So when they're a three to six, and then when they're they're about like twelve to well, like ten to twelve, and then when they're teenagers, you know, like sixteen to eighteen to nineteen. Those are the biggest growth at times in a child's life.

So they shouldn't they should have been doing anything that inhibits the growth of the brain cells or or go, you know, against what the brain wants. So what exactly happened to you as a child? Rocom kidding? Lots of lots of really bad all right, brother, I have a good weekend in Tampa at the Spartan Stadia Race. Time now for the Tom Davids Diaries. I like to refer to these as the diary reading from that dear diary, the afore mentioned Tom Davis Wild and wacky stories from around the world. Good

morning, Gary, Jeff. This week it's one small bite for mankind, one big bill for you. But first, if you're going to use a fake ID, you might want to at least proofread it. Some drunken Iowa was pulled over for swerving down the highway. When officers asked him to hand over his id, they noticed that it listed him as an astonishing eight foot five instead of the more accurate five foot eight that he is in real life. Once they got him out of the car, he did the dance.

He went to jail for a whole bunch of stuff. Hey, what's a diaper to the face? Amongst brothers, Damien Caston was arrested in Saint Petersburg for throwing a dirty diaper in his brother's face during an argument. Ye now, it was a full diaper that was described as splattering all over. He was hauled off to jail, but they eventually let him go a couple hours later. Her name is Angel Queener, and she's locked in a vicious legal

battle with the city of Chariton, Iowa. The city has banned geese, but Angel says that Blue, her pet emotional support goose, should be exempt from the restriction. Queener, who openly admits to battling mental health issue, says it's vital to keep her goose around. So far, the city has made no decision. And finally, imagine eating in space and not just nibbling on something and taking down some tang. I'm talking a full on fine dining

experience. Outside the confines of the atmosphere. Chef Rasmus Monk will serve a space inspired menu to six guests on the spaceship Neptune, floating one hundred thousand feet above Earth, and you will pay for the privilege of being one of the first to consume while you zoom four hundred and ninety five thousand dollars per person.

Mike in a Science minute as a night scientist. He was surprising all blinding me with so, uh, Mike, how are you doing? You like the you like you like the Real Housewives of the House of Representatives. That was fun. You know that was a double take for me. I missed that one on this is this for real? Comber is going you know, I've got I've got hearing aids. I didn't hear what. I didn't understand anything that was just said. He was like, he's a guy caught in

the middle of these of this cat fight. It was crazy. It was wonder Get up and get a drink, a drink water, come back a few minutes. Let him just close the doors, let him. I love what Marchie Marjorie Taylor Green asked her if her feelings were hurt hilarious anyway. So what's going on in the world of science with our science min this morning? Michael oh, Gary Jeff. We got the University of Michigan study,

and I'll get to the point what the study is about. Let's get the twenty twenty two the Inflation Reduction Act, which I kind of find oxymoronic, but anyhow, it comes from one hundred percent of the cars if you manufactured to be electric vehicles by twenty thirty five, Well, right, normal Honda Cord, A normal one has forty pounds of copper. An evy Honda Accord takes two hundred pounds. Wind turbines take out the twenty tons of copper to

to to work for than the workout Gary Jeff. We can't produce enough copper to do all this planned switch over. Here's here's an astonishing fact for you. From twenty eighteen to twenty fifty, we are going to just for our normal usage, is one hundred and fifty fifteen percent more copper than we use

in all of history up until twenty eighteen. In other words, just in our normal what we're going to use in a regular day in life, we're going to use more copper in the next forty years than we've ever used before. That doesn't include the EV's. It takes twenty years to bring a copper mining facility up online, and they estimate if we want to meet this ev mandate goal mandate, we're going to need six new copper minds every year for

the next thirty years. Well, I wonder what all that copper mining you'll do to our carbon footprint. Mike, Well, how do you think we're going to get it out of the ground? I mean exactly this, it's like the Labor Act to do this. This isn't about anything but another redistribution of wealth, and the Chinese and the Indians of the benefactors because they are not having to do it here to the same standards and mandates that they're requiring

of us. This was always, this was and this is a boon for you know, the Charlatans that are grabbing the government subsidies to go full stop with this. It's a boone doggle for the average person, the taxpayer and the person who was footing the bill, which is all of US copper on February ninth was three dollars and sixty two cents of pounds more than it is today. No, five dollars and five cents a pound. So from February to May, this commodity has gone that high. Oh yeah, yeah,

yeah, And it's it's just going higher. And that's because we had the Inflation Reduction Act. We work here's the last thing. It's we just we just put one hundred percent tariff on China's evy cars right right to subsidize, so they don't bring cars in So a weekend, government subsidize the ev industry. So we can put out more money for something that's not working. So don't lower the price on it. You don't. So let's let's remember.

Let's remember Obama and Clindra. That was only the tip of the iceberg of wasted money over something that doesn't work. The solar, the solar company, I forget the solar first solar. It's up off of seven ninety five. When you go up to a Port Clinton up there. In the next five years, I think they're going to get eleven billion dollars alone in government subsigies and then bill and then then when it's not financially feasible, they'll go out

of business and the eleven billion is just wasted. Thank you so much, Michael, appreciate the update. It's eight eleven and Mike McConnell. In each of our lives, there are very few special moments.

two. Now when our truck stops in front of your home, you'll know it possible on this program, although sometimes it's difficult with the chaos that is this world. From the Rick Green standing by for the word of God this morning, I'm going let it shine, lot, I go it shine, miss La mine. Oh yeah. In everyone's life, there are trials and

tribulations that you just can't even account for, you don't expect. And brother Green, last week you told us about some problems you had with your foundation of your house, the basement, and that you thought it was repaired, and there were cracks that you found last week and you were on the air looking at it as we were talking, and you didn't get great news.

This week you found out it was going to cost some sixteen thousand dollars to repair the foundation in your house, and sixteen thousand you don't have, obviously. So I want to start this morning by just asking everyone to pray for Rick Green and his family and that they can find a way to find this money. We're not begging for the money, We're not asking for the money.

Just please for a brother Green and his situation. You know it's funny, and it's not funny, Rick, but you told me what you found out about your basement and the cracks there and what it was going to cost to repair it. My friend Jim Lebarbara this week also found out because of a serious plumbing issue, it's gonna cost him about seventeen grand that he didn't

have on hand to fix that. So maybe maybe you should pray for the music professor and for Rick Green. But I mean, this kind of stuff happens all the time, and with more and more Americans living paycheck to paycheck these days. You have an emergency expense like that, and it's like, oh my God, where am I going to come up with this money? But you know what God provides. He's provided for you to this point, and we're just gonna believe that He's going to provide for your family in this

crisis situation. So I wanted to I know you want to get that out there, but because there are other people who are suffering or hit with bills that they can't pay all the time. Rick, It's it's not too singular for you or me, but everybody at one time or another is faced with this kind of a crisis, a financial crisis. So I you know, if I had it, it'd be yours. You know that I don't because and if something like this happens to me, I'm I'm up the same creek

you are. But we always have God. With God, all things are possible. What have you got for us for a verse this morning? Rick? Amen? Gary, thank you for saying that. I'm always gonna start with Gary. I woke up this morning praying for you and your listeners. I don't focus on things I can't control. I'm always gonna give God the glory. Okay, that's that's what we all do. They were coming,

yeah, and today we're coming this morning. Three thirteen says, who is wise and understanding among you, Let them show it by their good life, by the deeds done, and the humility that comes from wisdom. One more time. Read that verse for me, Okay, James, three thirteen, Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by these done in humility that comes from wisdom. Amen. Amen, Thank you Garry if for mentioning that I'm trusting God. She's proved too

much to me. There's no going back here. No matter how I turn out, I'm still going to trust and love that well. Brother Green, again, our prayers, everybody that listens that cares about you are praying that God will make a way for you to get this fixed. And you know that's all we can do. And then all right, brother man, thank you, Jerry, last day, you too. Man. That's a tough

situation. And then Prop tells me about his plumbing problems. I'm like, geez, have you got an extra seventeen or sixteen grand if something happens to you your family. I don't, but you know what, you gotta have faith eight eighteen, seven hundred WLW. This morning at nine, Mike Allan Rands raves and then calms down with a virgin lime.

Let's just put it that way. And what four people within a few strokes of the league,

rightly and ten people within a four strokes amazing. So May eighteenth, nineteen eighty, my wife, Chris to two point zero was eleven years old and she was living with her mother in Washington State in Kennewick, and Mount Saint Helen's exploded. Yeah, we're talking about a major volcanic eruption blue half of the top of the mountain off and she is with us now to recount what it was like to be in the uh within a couple hundred miles of this

major major earth event. Christa good, good morning. How are you dear? Good morning, my love. I'm good. How are you doing fine? So re tell me again what it was like. Did you hear the explosion? Now you were a couple hundred miles away? Is that correct? Is set the scene for me just under just over two hundred miles away east And no, we didn't hear it. But at thirty in the morning, watching TV, knowing this was gonna happen, it blew and it just let

go throughout the whole north face of the mountain well. And so you say, you're watching TV because this had been expected because of the seismic activity and the fact that this was an active volcano, as Mount Saint Helens was. We've seen the movies where people were still like within spitting distance of this place. I mean, it was the wrong place to be at the wrong time, no question about it. But to fifty seven people, fifty seven people

died. A man named Harry Truman, not the president lived on that mountain. He said he was born on that mountain. He said he would die on that mountain, and he did no doubt. Yeah, it was a beautiful day. Saw it happen on TV. And I was grounded as usual, but thought, well, I thought, you know my mom, so that explains that. Yes, I thought, I'm going to go out and play while I still can. So a bunch of my friends we all met up and just kind of hung around and waited to see what was going to

happen. About two and a half three hours later, this guys started getting dark. It was a strange darkness. It was gray clouds. But under the gray clouds were what looked like dirty cotton balls. They were a darker gray, yeah, with white on the very bottom, and they were neatly arranged like they were in rows. It was, like I said, very

strange. And then all of a sudden, the ash started falling when we were outside, and this was like babies powder, fine, but when it landed on you, if you went to brush it off, it was gray and it left a black streak after you sure or lost it off or spread it off, and it was oily. How about we all went inside and it continued to fall. We ended up getting about two feet of ash. Sorry I keep saying it's sorry. So after that everything was closed down.

You couldn't start your car because it would just destroy the engine. There was no more school for the rest of the year. The emergency vehicles couldn't move. Yeah, that was it. That was the beginning of our summer. Two weeks it took to get rid of all that stuff. Well, you're you're very fortunate you weren't closer to the explosion, because yeah, I love you and I'm glad you're here today. Thank you, dear for the report and one more real quick call. You saw the hole in the mountain from

the sky. Yeah, you know. I My name is Ransom. I h I used to be a flight attendant for t w A and we had I had a flight and uh, the pilot came on and said, hey, guys, we're getting close to Mount Saint Helen. I'm sure you guys know by then this is you know, of course the faith that already blown off, and you know all the news coverage and stuff like that, but

it wasn't It wasn't too long after it happened. And so what he said is that they had gotten clearance from the FAA that they would they let us fly over the uh the actual mountain, you know, so you had to. So what we did was, I mean, I'm a flight attendant, you know I want to I want to see it too, you know,

So basically what we do we let everybody turns. I can't really I think we were on the co pilot side where you could see the uh uh you know, down into the the volcano and you can see all the destruction of the rock forest formations that were blowing away. So and what was cool about it was as you look down you could see that another volcano was growing up where the old one was. Oh wow, wow wow, Dan, Thanks for sharing. Man, that's a cool story on a very very life changing

kind of climb. Uh. You know class what am I saying? Uh? Clat is? You know what I mean? Uh, it's a major event. Eight at seven under WLW. This is Chris Bruce Art.

the University of Chicago campus. The Institute of Politics building was surrounded by pro Palestinian protesters yesterday afternoon, and some of those protesters got into the office a former Democratic Senator Heidi Heidkamp. Speaking to ABC News on Friday, she described what happened when those masked students entered her office. I think it was three students came in, two initially and then three eventually into my office mass you

know, basically saying I needed to leave. I'm like, well, no, I don't, I'm doing and they said, no, you have five minutes to leave. I said, no, I really don't, I'm not going. And then eventually kind of realize what this was, that this was an attempt to occupy the Institute of Politics. Hi Camp says that she tried to engage in dialogue with the students to find common ground, and they just kept asking, aren't you worried about your safety? Not long after campus police

showed up, the trio took off out of the office's windows. Later, a statement from the group says they're protesting in the University of Chicago's ties to Israel. She wasn't hurt in the incident.

little slice it. Believe me, I won't miss you and I won't live to come back girl you mam me, ye won't it me because I don't love you now you by then I got some property. One of the greatest names in country US no doubt about it, and will tear I'll I'll see your George straight and raise you a mule egger who was also possibly one of the greatest names in country music. Here he is, Hey, mo,

I don't look good as good in cowboy boots or the hat Man. You know the signature George Straight hat and he just Garth Brooks always talks about George Straight being one of his heroes because he said, you know, I'm I'm here, running here and running here, and I'm flying all over this stadium. All George has to do is just sit in the middle of the stage with his guitar and cock his head and sing. That's how good George Strait

is. So anyway, you know, usually the number one player in the world doesn't let a bad hook handcuff him, and yet we had yesterday morning at Valhalla. The first thing that Scotty Scheffler said when he had a chance was he mentioned the man who was killed in the accident that he wasn't a part of and that so, I you know, I thought that was class all the way on his part. And you know, there is a part of us that think the people who have that don't you know who I am.

Mentality is it supersedes everything else, And there may have been a little bit of that with Scotty Scheffler yesterday. But there's also some questions about the actions of the police. Apparently the patrolman who was there who wound up arresting and was assaulted by Scotty Scheffler wasn't even supposed to be there and did not even know the detail or what was going on. He just happened to be

there as a police officer in a yellow suit. Now, granted, I'm one of those people who always says, you know, cop tells you to do something, you pretty much do it, and you worry sort things out later. And Scheffler did not, for his part, immediately follow those instructions. On that, I say bad on Scotty Scheffler. As far as him being charged with assault on a police officer when the guy did a Starsky and Hutch and jumped on his car. You know, I mean, come on,

your thoughts on this whole mass moo. Well, my first thought was the dude went out there after an extraordinarily chaotic day and shot five hundred. I know, I mean, I don't know how in the wrong he is. I've I've got to think there's bodycam footage that will be part of the process here that will very much clear up what happened and what didn't happen. But I have a hard time concentrating on the golf course if, like I get a phone call from somebody that you know tells me like, hey,

we we had to move our dinner reservation. No, I remember, I remember, I remember the morning that you were out on the course and you were trying to do this segment with me, and the results weren't good. The results were not good, probably a bad segment and certainly a bad round. So say, what's the one about what happened? And yeah, at the center of all this is an extraordinarily tragic element, and I'm I thought it was cool that that Scotty went out of his way to reference that first.

But it requires some insane concentration to go out at the end of that sort of day and put yourself in contention and win a PGA championship. And yes, he is a number one rank golfer in the world, and so you know, coming into this tournament, you certainly expected him to be in contention. But I don't think anybody would have been surprised that he played poorly yesterday. So that was my first thought. My second thought was, Man,

I don't know, I don't know. I reserved judgment, And you know, could there have been some sort of miscommunication among the police officers involved in the middle of what I'm sure was a chaotic and weird, tough scene that even if you prepare for it can't be easy to navigate. I buy that was there may be an element of, hey, look, do you know who I am involved here? I guess we have to allow for that possibility. I don't know what I can tell you though, is I then

watched him go out there yesterday afternoon and shoot a five undreds. That to me was amazing. Well, apparently there were at least three or four or even five other golfers that had already gotten around the city had been waved in. He's in a player's only card. Why didn't Why didn't they just wave him in? And there are all kinds of questions that I want to know.

Yeah, yeah, no, I I remember I was in Indianapolis once and I was at an Indiana Pacers game and navigating my way through some downtown construction and there's a bunch of different police officers directing traffic, and one officer tells me to go make a left and go straight before I can get on

the interstate. And I start to do that, and then there's another police officer who starts screaming at me for driving down that road and I'm like, well, yeah, but your buddy back there one hundred yards or so back told me to go here, and so, you know, fortunately the guy then, you know, told me how I can turn around. And so one guy was white, right, one guy was long. Nobody jumped into my car. So I could see there may be on behalf of the police

officers there being some form of miscommunication. But I mean, yeah, those cars are clearly marked. Those cars are the credential, he said Scott, he said, was very clearly displayed. And so I don't know. I do know that yesterday, man, watching that unfold on ESPN, that is like two and a half of the most bizarre hours of television I've ever watched, you know, I mean, what's like, well up to it? Yeah, this isn't you know, some some dude who's hanging onto his tour

car. This is the number one rank offer in the world, right at the PGA Championship, not some five on night tournament amid all the calendars. So it was pretty pretty crazy. Well, another thing that I gleaned from all that experience after watching Scheffer's press conference is that apparently the Louisville jails are a perfect place for stretching before you go out and play with and watching TV because you talked about how he watched coverage of himself, yeah on on ESPN

while all sitting in the cell. No Dad, I mean, this isn't puff Daddy here, this is Scotti Scheffler. Uh. So that being said, you were talking about the Indiana Pacers, who have now tied your New York Knicks as the series goes back to the Garden tomorrow for a Game seven, but no team has one on the other one's home floor. So it looks like your Knicks are going to advance in the NBA playoffs tomorrow. Any thoughts on that? I think Indiana is gonna win? What? Uh?

Yeah, I think Indiana is gonna win. The Knicks basically have five and a half players. They've had three players get injured since the beginning of the postseason two since the beginning of this series. Last night there do Everything. Shooting guard Josh Hart left the game with an abdominal issue. We'll see how significant that is. The game got out of hand and so the Knicks did

empty their bench. But for those who have followed the series, what you have watched, as you have watched a good Indiana team, but an Indiana team that has like eight guys that can play, and frankly, over the course of the series has been the better team versus a gritty, cutsy New York team that they basically play five maybe six guys. And so what I

worry about as a diehard Knickson is the quick turnaround. I think if they were going to win the series, they had to do it last night, when the period between Games five and six it was the only time during this series where there was more than one day of rest. Now there's a very quick turnaround from late last night to three point thirty tomorrow afternoons. Indiana was awful in Game five, but I think over the other five games they've outplayed

the Knicks. They have more players, they're deeper. I think Indiana's going to win tomorrow. I hate to say it. That's not me being a fatalistic Knicks fan. The Garden crowd is going to be incredible. Obviously, there's always an advantage the home team has in the NBA and the Game seven, but I think the Pacers just because of depth and quality, it's not just that they're healthier, uh, they're really really good. Well, maybe

they have a player Tyrese Halliburton who's outstanding. Miles Turner in this series has been awesome. Former UD Lottery pick, former National Player of the Year. Obi Toppen has been a big factor in this series. I like Indiana. Maybe maybe the Knicks can pull out a hologram of of Willis Reied hobbling out at halftime or something, you know, pull out if the hologram told, if the hologram can give them fifteen minutes, I take it. I'll take

I'll take Patrick Ewing in his two fake knees right now. Anybody who could just give him some minutes? All right? So there's another Game seven in the NBA playoffs tomorrow night. Your thoughts on that that the series in the West well remarkably interesting. So it's Minnesota and Denver. The Nuggets won the NBA title last year and then lost the first two games of this series on their home floor. And that Minnesota team has a young man by the name

of Anthony Edwards who now people get mad at this. He's twenty two years old. He is doing things reminiscent of Michael Jordan. Now that's not to say he's gonna win six titles. But frankly, the comparisons are apt. He has accomplished things at twenty two that Kobe Bryant, Lebron James Steph Curry had come close to accomplishing by the time they had been in the league as long as Anthony Edwards. So they win the first two games on the road.

They then go to Minnesota and Nikola Jokich, the league MVP, spends the next three games absolutely schooling Minnesota. So now the series goes back to Minnesota for Game six and the Timberwolves win by forty five points. Yeah, right, right, And now we go back to Denver for Game seven. It's the defending champions trying to outlast and upstart Minnesota team that has been really fun to watch all season long. And we get a Game seven. We

get a pair of Game sevens tomorrow. If you're a basketball fan, it's going to be a lot of fun. Well, there's another young player who's obviously making her debut this week in the WNBA named Kaitlin Clark, who did things on the court in college that had never been seen before. And it's

been kind of a rocky beginning, but I kind of expected it. MO. Yeah, you know, Diana Tarassi, the legendary women's basketball player, said on a podcast, I think during the NCAA tournament that a rude awakening is waiting for Caitlin Clark, and a lot of people got really mad at her, and my thought was, Yeah, rude awakening probably is awaiting Caitlyn Clark because making that jump from college to the pros is really really hard,

and I think we've I think we've seen that, and that doesn't mean she's not going to be insanely good. My guess is she is, but it's a significant step up in competition. It's that she's playing against adults, she's playing against pros, she's she's she's playing at the highest level of women's basketball, certainly in this country and perhaps in the world, so you would expect some some built in struggles. And she's acknowledged that, her coaches acknowledged that.

But everybody got mad at Diana's Rossis for saying that, and I thought, like, that's not the most nuanced observation. Player is going to go from college to the pros and it's going to be it's it's going to be a bit of a struggle. We see in the NFL Major League Baseball seeing the NBA, why wouldn't we see it in the w NBA And we are all right, very good. One last thing, mo Obviously, we had

all kinds of coverage with the release of the NFL schedule. Name for me the one one game that you think will determine the Bengals season positively or negatively. Give me one game on the schedule. Well, if I were to boil it down to one that I think is going to determine the season, I like that early Baltimore game, right because they play Kansas City Week two, but in the first four games they're the heaviest favorite of all NFL teams.

Week one against New England. They might be double digit favorites weeks three and four Washington and Carolina. So even if they take a loss in Kansas City, they should be three and one when they host the Ravens here, and if they can beat the Kansas City Chiefs, they might be four and zero before they host the Baltimore Ravens, who beat the Bengals at Pei Corp

last year. Joe Burrow was not quite himself. I think that game is going to go a long way towards shaping the AFC North race toward possibly shaping the AFC overall playoff picture. I think they have a great opportunity to do something they haven't done the last couple of years. And let's get off to a great start and play from ahead. And if you could extend that with

a win over Baltimore, right, I think that's really really big. I think the most interesting game on their schedule is the game at the Chargers, but I think the most impactful game I'll say that first Baltimore game here. All right, thanks Moe, have a great weekend, Mike Allen. Saturday midday, just ahead of who you got on the program too, Well, we're going to talk to Russ Mock local Gopachair. He's going to let us know about an instance, frankly, a rare instance of media bias, obvious

media bias I think on the local level. Going to talk to him about some local races, going to talk to him about the debates presidential debates that are coming on. And at eleven o'clock we're going to talk to Orlando Sanse. He has a brief announcement to make. I don't want to spoil it, but let me tell you something that Race is getting on people's radar, and Orlando Sanza is being taken very seriously. We'll talk to him at eleven

o'clock. All right, fantastic, sounds great after the show, show at Huddle's Cafe. You like to come back. And, by the way, met some buddies of yours last Saturday. Huh oh, I think I know who good guys man, all of them very much so. And whatever they said about me not true. Well what they had to say about you, I've witnessed myself. So have a wonderful show man.
