Although it's Memorial Day and I live two miles from the Indie five hundred and two miles in the other direction from Raceway Park, so we do not go anywhere during this weekend, but we can sit on the back porch and listen to the sounds of crash as any of theids that have driven from across the country to come see the race decide to drag race each other and go home.
And people really do that. They get to the Indy five hundred to watch the greatest spectacle in racing. And it's not enough the horsepower and the smell of motor oil and the sound inside Raceway Park, but they were actually racing on the streets of Indie. I'm pretty sure it was last year when we were sitting in a top light to turn. I remember, I remember you telling me this story. Go ahead and refresh my memory. Oh, oh this is I think this is a different one. Um Marie and I went
to get groceries and we took the old radio rick radio van. Okay, so it looks like a mini abduction van. Okay, there's no window in the back. It's wife. That explains.

you stay home. So this morning you are coming in the Tale of two radios five by five and four by four that this is really interesting because these are two of the radios I got done this week. One is a nineteen forty Motorola sixty x one. The other is a nineteen fifty silvertone fifteen. And what a difference ten years make. They're both am only radios.
They're both plastic or bake light cases depending ten years apart, the exact same six tubes, and both of them have an RS stage for better reception. What's interesting is the Motorola being the nineteen forty model you're coming in five by five. It's a smaller radio, has a smaller speaker, It sounds amazing. It's got incredible reception with its internal antenna and just a darn nice looking
radio. It's got a little dialite and everything. Whereas the nineteen fifty silvertone with the same six tubes and has a Marf stage also and also an internal antenna. I'm having a little bit of trouble hearing you, and it's not very allowed. Both of these radios are working with just the internal antenna at
their You know, this is as good as it can get. Interestingly enough, the Motorola I had about twice as many components in that thing as the Silvertone, So basically they were silvertone was Sears was focusing on whoever made the radio for them on cheaper And it's a little bigger and it looks really really
nice. It's mid century modern kind of a design, but as the radio goes, is really and Motorola, which by the way, was the name, came from mobile Victrola was the idea because they started their life as a car radio manufacturer. Yeah. See I did not I did not know that Motorolas were being manufactured in nineteen forty. I had no idea. I thought they later they were run of the twenties. Yeah, they were one of
the first car radio manufacturers. Very nice. Well, I know that you're gonna be staying in since you're in the middle of a a motor head a motor head kill zone. They're in Indianapolis. But I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Nonetheless, have you already been to the store for the weekend? Have you got everything? Oh? Yes, we have. Okay,
we have learned the hard way to prepare quickly. Very good. Well, you know, sit on sit on your porch and listen to the car crashes of the idiots who are coming from around the country to watch car crashes. Okay, so sometimes you hear sirens instead of the crash, but you know it's it's miss. It all goes to the same place, Old Radio Rick Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com.

But have you taken time to eat peek in even at it's called the usfluh? No?
I have not. There are games games this week, and there are games every weekend, and no one seems to care except the executives at Fox Sports who decided to sign the contract to broadcast the games. There's nobody usually in attendance, and the game is not even close to resembling the NFL. So you mean our listeners aren't hanging on my every word to see the updates from the USFL.

A new poll out this past week shows that sixty six percent of Americans think it would be a disaster or a setback if they didn't hear Steve from Etna's commentary this morning. So we don't want to be disastrous or set you back. So here he is, by popular demand, Steve from ETNA, Good morning, Okay, let's do it all right. I think here's
my start. Can I hear a call out there? Can I hear a call out there? For a drag queen death ceiling story hour at Joe Biden's grandkids house? Yeah? Oh my god, Steve, hold on, is that a grandkid that Joe Biden claims or a grandkid that Joe Biden doesn't claim? It's it's all of it because Hunter doesn't go ahead. One intelligent observation this week on that whole issue. An economist was being interviewed and he said,
where did where did Janet Yelling come up? With June first. On June the fifteenth, there is a massive income infusion in the federal coffers from estimated tax receipts. By the way, I'm one of the guys who has to pay those. The worst thing about the Biden boondoggle is that when we talk about the old days, we'll be talking about COVID proof that Joe is
not bargaining in good faith. His latest offer came in last night on the debt ceiling deal is a Trump pleads guilty to everything and only gets twenty years in Leavenworth and the Biden family crime probe must end. I don't think that's legitimate bargaining. Rhinos to the rescue. Here's their deal, we send Trump to Russia, putin buys up our national debt. I don't think that was
going to fly either. Florida Governor Ronda Santis, famous for talking or excuse me, famous for taking on the woke alligators at Disney World, announced for president this week. The Disney Democrats countered with Goofy from Disney announcing for president another Disney character, John Fetterman, will be his running mate. If you would notice that those two guys Spedderman and Goofy are never seen in the same room at the same time. Democrat House Leader Hakim the Bad Dream Jeffreyes said
this week this is an exact quote. We must pass Biden debt feeling increase at any cost. Last three words, at any cost. Interesting wording. I think that's kind of a Freudian slip if you think about it. So what he's saying is there is no limit to how much the national debt now thirty two point eight trillion, can be. There's no limit. Well, okay, how about fifty trillion, how about one hundred trillion at the current
rate of increases each year, that's no problem. As the debt goes up, ladies and gentlemen, the more the interest payments on it in each year's budget go up the breaking point. Nobody's asking, it's got to be one, don't you think pot calling the kettle black Award to CBS Sports. Oh, this is so beautiful for grilling live golf league players for playing at an
organization sponsored by those meetings in Saudi Arabia. How could you work for such an unethical government, the sports guy asked live players, wait a minute. Alleged journalists at CBS How could you work for CBS, which works for one of the world's most corrupt governments. Washington, DC Proof Durham Report. Okay, where are we here? Oh reports this week speaking of debt, Black Lives Matter, they have to declare bankruptcy. Oh those mortgage payments on those
houses out in California. I guess they exceeded their debt limit. If they do go belly up. Wonder who's gonna get stiffed by BLM A bank maybe or two or three? Will the Michigan Wolverine basketball team get those BLM shirts repossessed? Oh? Tru badity. By the way, Gary Jeff, this is so interesting. Most interesting sports story of the week involves Yao Ming. Remember him, Hey want for the Rockets. Yeah, he's back in China and he's trying to do you know, the negotiations here to basically set up
an NBA franchise in China. And I know at this point it brings up the subject once again of well that guy for the Lakers who's retiring and that scandal. But wait, wait, wait wait. Yao Ming is in a fight with a Chinese Communist party, which he says is interfering with the whole deal and he wants hands off whole lee cow God bless you Yao Ming. I want to know why China was offering to broke her a piece deal on Ukraine. Well, there's a gal named Morgan Ortegas and she was interviewed on
Friday on a conservative talk show. I know her. Yeah, she let it slip out in an interview, and she let it slip and then said, oh, oh that's another story. No it isn't, Morgan, this is a damn good story. What she said was that China and Ukraine are longtime trading partners. So that's why China thought, you know, they could get involved in this mess. Wait a minute, the US and China are also longtime trading partners. So why are we the hawks on Ukraine and China
turns out to be the doves. Nobody answers my questions. Nobody answers my questions except Gary Jeff Well maybe said Steve, Hey, have a nice Memorial Day. Hey you too. But maybe it's because the US is actually doing China's bidding for our joint trading partner Ukraine. And it's not about Vladimir Putin or Russian or about the freedom and liberty of a democracy, a fledgling democracy
in that corner of the world. Maybe it has all to do with we are doing, we are actually secretly doing China's bidding in Ukraine, perhaps ten minutes away. And it also makes you wonder where all the money we've sent to Ukraine is going ultimately, maybe to their favorite trading partners in communist China.

You're listening to seven hundred WLW also available on ninety four five FMW two three three BG Cincinnati at six fifty four Saturday morning, Memorial Day Weekend and Gary Jeff Walkerwick You the State. Nineteen forty two, Doris Dorry Miller, a cook aboard the USS West Virginia, became the first black American to receive the Navy Cross for displaying extraordinary courage and
disregard for his own personal safety during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor, the attack that drew US into World War two, one of the most infamous attacks on American interests, even though it wasn't on the mainland. That never happened really on a massive scale until nine to eleven, of course, but just before eight o'clock in the morning Sunday, December seventh. United States was neutral at the time the Japanese attacked, and thousands of Americans lost
their lives. Nearly fifty eight thousand or a little over fifty eight thousand Americans lost their lives fighting in the Vietnam War. Almost a half a million American lives were lost in our own Civil war, Which are you know, kind of the roots of this weekend, the so called holiday that we observe the last Monday in May every year. The people who sacrificed everything, They didn't sacrifice some time away from their families. They didn't just put their lives in
the middle of the firing line. And believe me, those contributions are invaluable to us as a nation when it comes to preserving and keeping our freedom for everyone. But it is the actual sacrifice I would lay down my life for you. That's what this weekend is all about, always has been, from when it started as Decoration Day in the aftermath of that Civil war that I
aforementioned. And every year at this time, we as Americans pause, and if we don't, we should pause and think about what it means to really sacrifice, not go without a meal or even be homeless, but to sacrifice your actual life for your fellow citizens and for the ideal of American freedom and liberty. Memorial Day weekend, That's why I have a hard time saying Happy Memorial Day. Weekend. I want you to be happy. I want you to have a great time if you're gathering a family and friends. But it
just always seem to be a misnomer to me. Food for thought, don't eat too much. Steve Schilty On the other side of what's passing for news this morning, just past seven o'clock on seven LW for adults with moderate to severe placks arise this boor candidates for systemic or phototherapy. Now there's sky rizzy risk. But say keep on pounding that drum, don't say. Steve Shilty, environmental engineer extraordinaire, joining us as he does almost every Saturday morning.
Good morning, mister Schulty. How are you? Good morning here, Jeff, better than I deserve as always, Yes, sir, you know we've got another another some more lies again this morning. Let's come from see fact or see fact dot org. Recent already goal this past week, climate tsar carry emissions from agriculture must be front and center. So farmers and ranchers who assume that their main job is to feed us hungry people stand to be corrected.
John Kerry, the Biden regime so called energies are what's to enlist them with the global struggle to combat the quote unquote climate crisis. Now, of course, Jerry Jeff, you will not to remember. We started with global cooling and global warming and climate change. Now it's climate crisis. He goes on to say, quote, a lot of people have no clue that agriculture
contributes about thirty three percent of all the missions in the world. We can't get to net zero without agriculture, so it must be front and center. Is part of the solution. And here's where the lives come, the real big lies. He went on to say, quote, we are facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering more than ever from the impacts the climate crisis. And I refuse to call
it climate change anymore. It's not changed, it's crisis. So there's two lies in that. First one is record malnutrition and the second agriculture is suffering more than any other sector because of the climate. One of the books I've shared with you, Gary Jeff, over the last year or so is the
book ten Global Trends Every smart person Should Know from Cato Institute. Obviously, Don Carey is not so smart, and always all his data comes from the UN or the World Bank were concerning extreme poverty, which is defined less than two dollars a day. The World Bank estimated in nineteen ninety that one was a nine hundred million, that's one point nine billion for those in the Beatles were in extreme poverty. In two and eighteen that was down greatly to six
hundred and fifty million. Despite population growth. When we looked at dand of famine, UN said in nineteen sixty one, the world's average calorie intake per day was twenty two hundred. By two thousand and seventeen it was up to three thousand calories per day. In another measurement, again this is from the UN, under the category undernourished. From in nineteen seventy HADS estimated thirty seven percent of the world's population was undernourished. By two thousand was down to fifteen
percent, and by two thousand eighteen eleven percent. And regarding world production of food, global serial production in nineteen sixty one to two thousand and sixteen nearly quadrupled. In the yields in the same period, that is, pounds for acre almost tripled. I mean this is yet you know these are outright lies, and then you know, as I said many times, NASA satellites are telling us that on net the Earth is greening. Thank you a little bit warm, warmth and a little bit of C two. Yes, yes,
yes, listen. I'm sorry. We got a lot of good in for You've got a lot of good information from CFaCT dot Oregon, from these books that you're mentioning. But the real climate crisis can be summed up in two words right now in the United States, and it's John Kerry. That's the real climate crisis right there. Listen, Thank you, Steve. Yeah, don't listen to Lurch because he's not very smart. Seven twelve seven LW.
People have always craved entertainment. In the mid nineteen seventies, students at Michigan State Strip naked and jogged across the Camus. Streaking soon became a national fan. Men and women were running naked everywhere until a group of streakers at the Minneapolis Christmas Parade got their tender part stuck to metal lamp posts. Today, we have something better. Eddie and Rocky. They're very entertaining and don't even

Seven seventeen, our friend Rocco, the first the dawn of the first Costellano fitness family in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, joins us on the line cooking with Rocco on a Saturday morning, and Rocco, good morning. We wanted to talk about the eighty percent rule. I have no idea what it is, but you gave me that choice.
So what's the eighty percent that rule? Well, let me just tell you, Gary, Jeff, I really don't want to hear anybody's body talking anymore because it is sometimes it says some really, really bad stuff. The eighty percent rule was made uh well, well is made popular by the Blue
Zones author Dan Butner. Uh there were a five Blue zones back well, I mean it's been a little while now, but the Blue Zones were places like um Korea, Greece, Okinawa, Japan, Sardania, Italy, uh, Nicoya, Costa Rica, and right here in the United States a Loma
Linda, uh California, and all five Blue zones. They found that every single uh, all the people in those Blue zones that lived to be a hundred years old always I did something called the eighty percent rule, and it was when are they any meal that they sat down to eat anyone it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They always uh uh like did the eighty percent rule and they would never fill themselves up to like one hundred percent full.
So you're saying like they would eat eighty percent of what it would take to be totally full. That's what that is. Yes, the eighty percent rule is about a never filling up your belly to one hundred percent because it takes about it takes about twenty minutes to actually feel full. So if you if you felt full hello, no, you went yeah, and then you went to one hundred a percent. If you went to one hundred percent full, then twenty minutes later you would be at about one hundred and twenty percent
full. Does that make sense? So okay, let me I think I'm getting what you're saying. The eighty percent rule says that you want to take your time eating and say, eat eighty percent of what you think is going to fill you up, because you will feel you will feel more full within twenty minutes of actually eating that food if you continue to eat until you just are stuffed and you can't eat anymore, then you're actually over the top.
You're a one hundred twenty percent. I get that. I thought the eighty percent rule, well, I thought the eighty percent rule was that if the eighty percent of your food fell on the floor, it was okay to eat it, just pick it back up. But that's not the eighty percent. That's the five second rules I know. But even and that that has been dispelled as well. That has been dispelled because most people's flaws are disgustedly dirty. The eighty percent rule, the eighty percent rule has uh um has kept
people from over nourishing themselves for literally centuries. So if you if you want to live, if you want to live a long, longer, healthy life, it's it's all about your intake when it comes to food. I mean, that's that's a big component of it, is what you're saying. Because these blue zones are where there were a greater percentage of the population that lived to be one hundred or more. You know whose birthday it is today, and he's some one hundred, Henry Kissinger. I wonder if he isn't I
wonder if he used rule. Well, if you look at Henry. I don't know if he has one. Not hot, but yeah, that's true. He's still he's still he's still a little pump. He is. He's more likely the exception and not the rule. Okay, And and there are many, There are many, because there's people out there, you know that I drink whiskey every day and they smoke cigarettes and they still live to be a hundred. That's not that's not the general population. That's not the norm.
I got you. Listen, Rocco, Rocco, we gotta go. Uh. I want to let people know that we're planning on talking having an extended conversation on Monday night. There's a special nightcap on Memorial Day night from nine to midnight, and Rocco Costallana will join us in. You can get more information train with Rocco dot com, or see Rocco at his fitness center

I'm nine first warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW,
seven hundred of wl M. Let's do it sports below. Then the Reds shut the Cubs yesterday nine to zero and Wrigleyville Hunter Green gave a big reminder of how high his ceiling is. Spencer Steer and Matt McLean were also terrific. The entire lineup was just productive yesterday. Gary Jeff, I don't know if you happen to watch the game, catch out here on the radio. Caught it, caught it a little bit at the bar when I was working,
And man, this Matt McLean kid is absolutely going bonkers. And you know, and you wonder how long before the Reds aren't tempted to bring up a Dela Cruz from Louisville. And it's just murdering triple A pitching, and I'd love to see what he can do in the majors. But anyway, go ahead. Well, so yesterday nine to zero and Wrigleyville. Today they're gonna play at seven fifteen, So let's see if they can get it done again. Tonight it's Brandon Williamson on the mound for the Reds against Jamison Tyone
for the Cubbies. Our coverage begins with the inside pitch at six fifteen. Again, first pitch at seven fifteen. I'm Alex Egan. You are Alex Hyden. Time for the Tom David Dirie of a madness standing by with news from around the nation you won't hear anywhere else. You aforementioned Tom Davis, and here we go. Good morning, Gary, Jeff, imagine saying goodbye to civilization. But first, I got a real character in Illinois. There
was a guy who was arrested for stealing a bacco. He says he was late to catch a flight, so he stole a bacco from a construction site and then used it to make the ten minute drive to the airport. He even dropped it off in the departure's parking lot and then attempted to board his flight with get this his guitar case in tow. Unfortunately for him, he was busted before he could board. A man in Kentucky was arrested for shooting
his roommate. The alleged gunman, who was only identified as mister Williams, was angry that someone ate his last hot pocket. Apparently, an argument broke out, and when the roommate tried to leave, mister Williams shot him in the buttocks. A software developer named Guy Hupont has created a pair of smart jeans the unique feature the fly alarm. You will get a notification on your

Robert Bretton worked at a grocery store for a long time before buying a small plot of land in Hawaii and building a treehouse. He now lives amongst the trees, using solar power exclusively and growing his own vegetables. He says that sometimes when people spot him they
call him Tarzan, and he has no plans to return to society. I say this is a positive development. We need more crazy hippies to wander into the jungle never to return. Next week, that classic love story a girl from Texas and an emu from Australia have a respectful memorial. Training your vehicle

As you kick off your Saturday, tempters go from that fifty degree mark all the way up to the mid seventies for your afternoon high with a lot of sunshine Tonight, dropping down to only the mid fifties with some more cloud cover to move in, maybe even seeing a few scattered showers for your Sunday as tempters only top out right around
the low seventies. From a severe weather station, I'm nine First Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on NewsRadio seven hundred WLW clouds and some sunshine this morning, fifty three degrees in Cincinnati. I'm Sandy Collins. Our next update at eight on news radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day. It was a Radio seven hundred WLW rock and roll rtology for this Saturday morning edition starts out Grooven here, Liss Cavalerian the Rascals. I'm a Sunday heaven. Ye.
I couldn't get awaitches. I can't imagine anything with the world is I will never win. Ain't a place I elected. Beads both down a clouded avenue to anything. We lots to do. The only lots of things that we can see we can't be getting when we're elected. All the happy people we could meet to do that on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, couldn't get away too soon. No, no, no, We'll keep on spending sunny days.
This week we've Colin Socking left on Samuel, I feel it coming day that day, not wi me, It's to seed you and me end listening. What was the original word they were using when they wrote the song? For maybe a little insight into that and why we're playing Rascals. At seven thirty eight on the Saturday morning, the music professor jim La Barbara joins us Rascals
Grooven. What's the significance and him boy, that song. You know, if any song that we play today sounds like today the weather today, that song sounds like the weather forecast today. I mean just a nice breeze, sunshine mid seventies or so. That's perfect. Groove and weather was the word actually originally grooven that they were going to use, jim or who's that a euphanism for something else? Well, I heard something else, but that's that's
the story. Felix told me that it was groove and it was number one record today in nineteen sixty seven. I hung around but four weeks on the charts, and you're right, great, great song. Felix told me the story. Felix said he had this girlfriend. Her name was Adrian, and he wrote the song about her because well, Sunday afternoon that was the only time they could see their girlfriends. He met this young girl bell the head
over heels over in love with this girl. And that's the storyline. We're grouping on the Sunday afternoon because Friday and Saturday, it said Jimmy, we're musicians, that's when we got to work. So they're in love with this girl. They wrote the song here along with the Eddie Burgadi sat Dan wrote the song and it became this, this giant hit record, grooving on the Sunday Afternoon Grooven And when they did the record, there's no drums on it.
There's no drums on the record. And Jerry Wexler at the record temper, he did not want to release this. He said, man, you guys, you're a white soul group. This is not this is not this is not for you. And Murray the kay that this jockey in New York overheard it, heard to take the recording session and said, you know what, this is going to be a number one record. I'm loaned to the
group. At that time, Philix said, Murray got on the phone, got with Jerry Wexler and said, hey, you gotta release this record. They did, and it became this number one hit, second of three. It was in between Good Levin and Late Before People Got to Be Free. And a backstory to this. Joey Jeff Loki Robinson loved this song and he got the idea for the song Cruising from this record, and his original hook
and Cruising was I love it when we're grooving together. But then he thought Krusen was more intimate and of course he had at one elected, but prosing I know, I mean, I I can hear the distinct similarities between the two records. And I'm surprised that Marvin Gay's family didn't sue somebody thinking it was a Marvin Gay song, because they're suing everybody. Up next is a
quintessential example of what we called beach music. And people know there's a distinction between beach music like the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean and Carolina beach music, and this is definitely Carolina side. Um and uh, well, just just tell me about the General and the next track we're gonna hear. Yeah, his real first name was General General Johnson, General Johnson from Virginia. That was his real first name. Yeah, his real first name is General
Johnson. Yeah, General Morman Johnson. And well he would have celebrating the birthday on Tuesday. I love the beach music stuff he did, and of course this is this is a prime example of it. Here group called The Showman and a couple of records back in the middle sixties, early sixties,
actually sixty four sixty five. It will stand. And I loved the song I Fell on my jukebox thirty nine twenty one forty six Shag Music, Shagging music down in the Northfolk, Virginia, Virginia and the Carolina's chamin of the Board. That what happened was after writing one hundred and thirty songs charting songs
for Motown Records, the production songwriting team of Brian Holland Lamont Dozier. Eddy Holland left the label in sixty eight and the disputable royalties that Barry Gordy refused to pay and they formed their own record labels, and the premier group was that Sheairman of the board. They gave him the name General Johnson came up with the guys gave him the name because Lamont said, you know, we're calling them that because of the extraordinary talent that they have. They played instruments,
they sang their road songs and that was it. And this record has a distinct of Motown sound. They used the Holland, some Hollows musicians from the Funk Brothers from More Time that is Party on the lead guitar and I'm marvel when I hear this song. I love that little birth thing that he does at the end, Oh Johnson, And as she listened that trill,
the trill. General Johnson's voice said exactly two minutes in sixteen seconds into the song, I don't think I've ever heard this has done in any other song. I mean, he is just a master interesting creative choice of his vocal technique and the emotion in his voice is what makes this song so amazing. You can feel that the singing awards with his heart and begging, pleading for was that distinctive respe voice seating forwards. Just a little more, a little
more time. You know what else I love by the chairman of the board in General Johnson is a song that was not as big a hit. You got me dangling on a string, But let's shag one more time to give me just a little more time on rock and roll archaeology love surely because a little more time over surely row nice too short to make a mistake. I think of each other, hetate, young, invatition. We may be, that's no need to act farshly. If we bought I ut for forget it

Next in our list is one of my favorite all time groups in any era, and they still are. They still are touring in some form or fashion to this very day. Earth Wind and Fire number number one record, number one record today in nineteen seventy five belongs to Earth Wind and Fire. Uh. This is
from the album That's the Way of the World. Maurice Maurice Whites. Uh. They were recording this that the Love joh a lot of people recorded at the Caribou Ranch in Colorado outside of Boulder. Maurice White, they was walking, came up with the idea for the song after taking a walk one night and seeing a shining star in the sky. Took the phrase directed towards a positive message for the lyrics that the Caribou rants the place is perfect because of
the scenery and the lack of distractions. That he got together with the guys in the group, Larry and Philip Bailey, and they sat down and completed the song and it became this giant hit. And he took that phrase, that signing star that he saw and he directed towards a very positive message for
the lyrics. And one of the things that Earth Wind and Fire did with a lot of the groups during that disco wrote fun songs meaningless lyrics, but Earth Wind and Fire with Maurice White, considered all of their songs meaning for and this one project the very positive message they got in the session they were all together, they were jammined full blast, and they signing stars of them at a hot part from the jame of the dance Board group and one of
the best intros to a funk song ll Ever, Let's do it Love is walking up with a guitar Man cattle belt seven forty eight and seven hundred l W. Yeah We'll take it yet, dream that may not fun, This ain't gonna yeah, please shutting the store See all right, we want to get to our last cut here, Jim. We don't have a whole lot of time, but we wanted to, I guess be the last this week to feed and salute and to remember May Bullock. Tina Turner, who just
passed earlier this week of natural causes at the age of eighty three. Yeah, because the queen of rock and roll, no question about that. Tina Turner. She came out of this little town Netbor. City Limits is a record she She wrote the song I Can Sina turn and did it. It was one of the final songs that he did. Not one of their biggest hits. I mean this was like a number twenty two songs in nineteen seventy three, not one of their best known songs, but certainly one of the
most endeared songs that well, this is the song she wrote. It was a kind of semi onto black rappable about nut City Limits. That's where she grew up, this little place in Haywood County, Tennessee. And incideally, Mike Bulling, the frontman for the group Key Rex Yeah is on guitars and that's because of girlfriend. His girlfriend, Gloria Joe was at that time was a backup singer with With with their band. And so even though she's eighty
three, she passed away a Swiss citizen. Her journey really started in this little town, Nutborst, Tennessee. And the lyrics speak for themselves. And in that town. Around that town there's actually a flag Groves School. That's where she went to school, a little elementary school, one room schoolhouse, and they have a museum. She has a museum there. I didn't know
that found that out. And mom used to take the shopping in Knoxville, and she said, I was like four or five years old, and I listened to the mom that said the kids were the help of the store would say things, think it's the song team, and she'd get up on the most box and shoot things of the people. So she had all of these great memories going back to Nutfors and Nutbors. City limits is well and vigorous
sentiments and limits is the keyward as she sketched this life. Church house, gym house, the schoolhouse, house, Highway number nineteen people keep the city clean. Twenty one was the speed limit. Motorcycles not allowed in. You go to the store on Friday, you go to the church on Sunday. It's a little hamlet on the highway. Nineteen and her story has been been told so often, you know where you mentioned Bullock. That's her real name,
well, Tina's Turner. But I got together with her, she's like sixteen, just turning seventeen, and he just her the main Tina Turner because it was the way of controlling her, beating her up and controlling her. That name, Tina's turn her. He owned the name. He owned the name, so she couldn't leap. I mean, she had to take that
name. He gave her the name. And that was before they even got married, so that, you know, like I guess, before her a lot of people left him, you know, and he went the whole on her. And this was her personal song and not the most popular, but certainly, oh I've loved this song. I've loved this song since the very first time I heard it.

I'm Gary, Jeff Walker, you are you, and that is perfectly fine with me. Live like you want to live. Baby. It's a free country, well kind of and quite as free
as it used to be. But anyway, that being said, at eight minutes past the hour, time for a science minting our friends Science Mike's dangling on the line right now as a night of scientists surprising if the bell blinding me. Well, good morning, Michael, how are you. I'm good for the Pisqually brothers taking a drink every time they hear the phrase death limit. You know, I wouldn't put it past them. Wouldn't put it past
them. No, that Ron and Rick and Paul are all out of out at Patriot, Indiana at their little river camp where I hope to be spending the fourth fourth of July. Last year, the last two years, Chris to two point zero and I have gone to see the Pisqually brothers on the fourth of July at the river camp. And it's the coolest thing in the world. Golf carts with American flags just going down the little river road in front of all the trailers. And last year I got to drive a golf

But Gary one in sixty thousand infants are born with
the disease or a vastal deformity called vein of gallon mouth formation. What this is is in the brain, the artery connects directly to the vein and bypasses the cells and it doesn't give good blood flow to the to the infants uh um a brain. And so when they're born, they have a hot, lot of throwing, a lot of stress and they have to go through a
special operation to to reconnect the vessels correctly. And so what they did is they decided to, uh, hey, let's uh, let's do it in in uh in the room and uh, by gosh, they they corrected this uh this blood flow to the brain using an ultrasound technique. And UH and the and did the uh the embolization with the the the uh the advanced structure and uh the kid that this has done a thirty four weeks uh the uh
the baby now is uh no issues at all? The kids eating fine and uh and it's just quite a step forward with uh, with saving the life of a human being once again through medical Uh. The wonders, Well, yeah, I mean, what what the thing I love most about this story personally is It's like, see that thing inside the woman is not a thing, it's a human being. It's a baby, and they're doing surgery in the womb, so that that that collection of cells must actually be a human
being. It might may, it must be a human life. That's what I love about that story. Mike, thank you very much. Have a great weekend. If the insurance cover, if the insurance company cover, and it must be a person, yeah, no doubt, no doubt about it. I love that. Brother.

Tonight, more clouds start to move in. Tempters only dropped down to the load of mid fifties. But you only see an afternoon high on Sunday in the low seventies with a few chances for
some scattered showers from a severe weather station. I'm nine first warning meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW seven hundred of W. Let's do it sports, HeLEX, how about those Reds yesterday afternoon? Gary, Jeff? How about them? A complete shutout I'm hoping for today. Do you think we can do it twice? Brand new murderers row. No, But someone
observed at the bar because they're walloping the Cubs nine to nothing. They said, Okay, they're gonna shoot their water and they won't be able to score any runs for the next five games. And yeah, that's always the concern. You know, we've wasted our energy yesterday. Yeah, now, wasted though it was, it was a wonderful win. Hunter Green gets his first of the season as a starter, and the series continues in Chicock. Absolutely
what a way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend. For the second time in his big league career, hunter Green kept an opponent hitless as he pitched six innings and tied a career high with eleven strikeouts during the Reds nine and oh victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field yesterday afternoon. Tonight, it's Brandon Williamson on the mound for the Reds against Jamison Tyone for the Cubbies. Our coverage begins with the inside pitch at six fifteen, with first pitch at seven
fifteen. Thanks Sir, forty six years ago tomorrow, May twenty eight, nineteen seventy seven, one hundred and sixty five people lost their lives, more than two hundred others were injured, and the people who were there who were not physically injured, were changed definitively forever by the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire. Now it's a construction site, but on the precipice of this commemoration a
Memorial Day weekend, no less David Brock joins us. David was a I believe a teenager at working at the Beverly Hills supper Club at the time. He'll correct me if I'm not right about this, But David, good morning. And as we come up on another anniversary of which you've been a part of many observances, do things change for you? Do you still get the chills down your back? Do you still the hair rays still on your arms?
All these years later when you think back to that night. I spent forty six years, Jeff, and yes we are, Gary, I'm sorry we never forget what happened that night. It was like a war zone that evening. It was seventy eight degrees that night, nothing gone wrong at all. Now a sudden backdraft door got open and fire spread out through the hall
to sell pretty quick smoke and fire. Now you believe you saw the men who were actually responsible for that fire, at least physically on the ground, Not the ones calling the shots, but the the workmen who were working they said, on ac or electrical stuff in another room when there was no stuff to work on there. I mean you observed that, correct, before the fire? Yes, I did. That morning. I observed them from an
eleven AM to about quarter till one o'clock. And we found out years later, after going through all the files and stuff like that, that there were the ex air conditioned company of record and they were working on a filter washing system directly underneath the Zabra own. They set the time and devices to go off on a PM versus AM. Should have been an AM on Sunday morning
six o'clock instead of six o'clock on Saturday evening. Well, I mean it's still heinous sabotage either way you slice it, but at eight am Sunday morning, there's virtually no loss of life, just loss of the property. And the owners of the Beverly Hills Separate Club, what maybe a week or two before the fire, had been warned by some nefarious elements, i eat the mafia from new from Detroit, that they wanted to buy the business back, and uh the owner at the time refused. Is that that the way it
goes. They came in about a month prior to the fire in April, met with mister Shelling and his son, Rick Shelling Jr. Said they they leased the building to the Shillings. They still owned the land of four, Yeah, okay, and best They said they want the business back they had from nineteen thirty six to nineteen sixty one. It set dormant for eight years, and the Shillings bothered in nineteen sixty nine to business and remodeled it.
At another fire in nineteen seventy which is Arson fire as well, remodeled it and got it going. Um, they're going four thirteen and a half million dollars. In nineteen seventy seven, mister Shelley took two guys that I have no desire to sell it. We're doing great here because I'm getting ready to go to a two hundred and fifty room street hotel, five thousand to sea,
convention center and retail shops up here. And the gentleman at that time two suits guys from Cleveland, said well, maybe we'll just become partners. He said, no, I have my three boys, a chef, chandler. And at that time the guy said, well about that, maybe we can't have it. You won't have no more either, So mister Shelley walked him out of the building and told me to get out. Well. This was this was a This was a big component of the way the mob worked
in northern Kentucky at the time, and you know as signals. As you mentioned the other arson fire in nineteen seventy at Beverly Hills after the Shillings had bought it, and then the fire at the Lookout Club, that's correct, which was also mob connected. Yes it was. I was also considering an arson fire too, but that business as closed at that time in nineteen seventy
three. Yeah. Um, what's is there one person? I mean, of all the hundreds of people as you helped them escape sure death that night, David, because you did to lead a lot of people to safety that night. Is there I mean, do you remember the looks on people's faces? Do you remember the panic? And is there any anything about a survivor
that you remember to this day? Well? I will that evening standing in front of the Zebra room to watch the doors get kicked open became it was a backdraft and a bus boar came down a small spiral staircase, kicked both
doors and we pulled them out. We could not get the door shut and at that point the the claims and the heavy smoke was exploded out of the room and went up to the spiral staircase into the crystal rooms and I probably stood there mister junior Brick Schilling Junior asking for me to stay there and exit the people out the front, which we did, and after they stopped coming after three or four minutes. I had determined at that time as fire is
not going to get put out. So at that time, by the time we got outside and got back into the garden area by the cave Bret room, is when Paul Schuberg comes to me and says, basically, had rocked their trapped, So what do you mean their trapped? We can't get them out. And at that point it was it was pandemonium. People are panicking. These fire went straight down the hallway, but two hundred feet shot straight
into the garden rooms. Wipe that out. And then there's the smoke itself and got the fifteen hundred degrees in the building filled into the cave Bret room. And that's how people of parish I just taken. Once a smell of it got gotta be like hell on earth. Um, well, David, just tell me real quickly about tomorrow and what you're doing and what's going on all right, if you don't mind, I like to mention Dana Stalin Zoo. She was there that night. It was her twenty first birthday. She
came up with seven other members of her family. She went out the accident to the right side door, her family went out to the left. Not one of them made it back. I see her every year, she comes up. Every year, she'll be here far. Oh okay, what what
what? What time is this? David Tomorrow? Tomorrow starts at two o'clock unveiling the uh, the monolists and the memorial from two to four, and then from four thirty to seven at the bottom of the hill, we're going to have a meet and great and you'll be able to go up to the top of the hill as well as you know. I'll head my my election as well. People are welcome to see all the photos. Let's stop up the place you still look like back in the thirties, all the way those
saturdays. Well, thank you for sharing the story with us again. And wow, the woman who you mentioned, who would who lost the rest of her family that night and she survived, Dana Sullens twenty one. Yes, Kentucky, David Brock, thank you so much, Thank you so much. Gary, appreciate what you do all right, what's passing for news? Just

From a severe weather station, I'm nine first Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW.
Checking out CVG right now fifty seven degrees. The radar is clear. I'm Sandy Collins with our next update at nine on news Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day he was a radio seven hundred WLW Good Morning
Kids, Now time for gifts from Wally Hymns by Word Association. A ministered a small country church decides to do something a little different one Sunday mornings, in front of the congregation, says, today in church, I'm gonna say a single word, and you are gonna help me preach whatever word I say. I want you to sing whatever him comes to your mind. The pastor then shouted Cross. Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, the old rugged
Cross. Then the pastor hollered out grace, and of course the congregation began to sing amazing grace, how sweet the sound. The pastor then shouted power, and the congregation sing there's power in the blood. And then the pastor said sex, and the congregation fell into total silence. Everyone in shock, all nervously began to look around at each other, afraid to say anything.
And then all of a sudden, from way in the back of the church, a little lady, seven year old grandmother stood up and began to sing Precious Memories.

Cubs in game two of a Memorial Day weekend series. And they're in Shytown, the windy City, or what's some people call. Oh yeah, beetlejuice is disaster. Moe Egger is standing waiting in the wings to talk to us. Hey, Mo, Derry, Jeff, how you doing, good man? Are you actually in Chicago now? I'm driving north to Wisconsin. Oh I thought you were in Chicago. I was. I got bad information. I was in Chicago. Yesterday and today it's gonna play for golf in Wisconsin
and then go watch some baseball in Milwaukee. My god, it's the Moegger
Midwestern Baseball Tour. This is outstanding. I love it now. The thing I will the thing I will always remember about Wrigley Field, and thank god it's still standing and it's still the icon that it is, is that when I was a third grader, in fact, third and fourth grade, we lived in the western burbs of Chicago in Naperville, Illinois, and our field trip every year, they would load us up on buses, a bunch of seven and eight year olds, take us downtown to the museums and then to
a Cubs game because they were still playing all day games at Wrigley. And I just remember as a seven and eight year old walking in the first time to actually see the vine covered walls that I'd seen on TV in person, and the place had it. It had an atmosphere like nothing else. It is it still that way? Mo? Yeah, you know, I said
this to the people that I was with yesterday. As much as they've modernized it, and for a lot of us, they've made it maybe a little bit two hundred number one, the vibe before and around a Cubs game is
unlike any other. And also you can still stand out there in the bleachers look toward a home play and have a sense of what the place looked like in the nineteen twenties, you know, for those of us at a certain age, you know, in the eighties, the Chicago Cubs were on television every single day if you had table ONGs two twenty, two twenty every single
day. And so as a kid, you know, I was no cup stand by any stretch, but I remember watching Harry Carey seave Stone sometimes they would broadcast in the bleachers, and as a kid, I'm like, I gotta get there, I gotta go. And you know, the places rarely live up to what you build them up to be. The first time I went to Wrigley, it definitely did. And it's you know, you mentioned day games. They play mostly night games when on Fridays they play at one
twenty Central time, and it's the absolute best time to go. It's it's a blast and even more fun yesterday because Hunter Green was terrific and the Reds, the cups around of it. That was that was cool. Yeah, hunter Green finally gets off the snide with a win for the first time this year. And the Reds, boy, they were they showed. They showed up for the rest of the team showed up for a hunter. I mean, you get a nine run support, then you ought to win the damn
game. And they didn't just win, they throttled the Cubs. The question somebody else asked was like, Okay, have they shot their wad for the next five games? And that's what you always worry about it after an offensive explosion from a team like the Reds, don't you, well, well, yeah, look what happened on Wednesday against the Cardinals. They scored ten runs, they had eighteen hits. The kind of feel like, all right, the teams about to take off offensively, and then the next afternoon they were
shut out for eight innings against Miles Michaelisson the Cardinals. So that's kind of how the sport works, right, I Mean, you know, one day it feels like you have it all figured out and you dent the scoreboard a bunch. He put up a big number of the next day, maybe against the pitcher who's not all that good, you can barely hit the ball out of the infield. Hopefully that that's done the case, but I thought the
important thing yesterday. You know, Hunter Green has really kind of pitched unevenly this season, and there have been moments of brilliance, and then you know, he runs into these innings where the pitch counts lay up, or he loses command or struggles with his control. His last couple of starts, you really haven't seen them. And you know, Hunter Green is an otherworldly talent. He's you know, a huge part of the foundation of this franchise.
But you want to see like significant progress, and the last two starts I think you have. Yesterday, him throwing six no hit innings, not against the great team would certainly represent progress, and hopefully it continues because Hunter Green, they have no choice. He's got to be great for this team if what they're doing is going to work in a long term. Yesterday he was
terrific. Is it too early to say that Matt McLean has been nothing short of sensational since his call up, been terrific, held his own in the field, he looks the part of the play is that as quick he's done a great job getting on base. You know, I kind of question why they haven't called up Ellie Della Cruz, who right now ESPN ranks as the best prospect in all of baseball. Um, Ellie Della Cruz is gonna play
shortstop, which is where Matt McClean is playing. And all right, so when they call up Ellie mask gonna play second base, I would start that now. But yeah, I mean he's been He really has kind of helped them at the top of the order. With TJ. Friedelback, they have a nice little one two combination at the top of the batting order. Matt mcclein is a guy, you know, for for all the talk of all the other prospects Day have taken in the first round in twenty twenty one,
his improvement this year from a power standpoint was impossible to ignore. And he gets to the big leagues and he looks the part, and he also is a very big part of what they're doing moving forward. Yeah, no, no, no question about that. I think what Dela Cruz isn't it an option situation where they don't, you know, worried about paying him and all the other stuff. And I think that the temptation if the rents continue to be kind of middling like they are and still in some kind of contention to
have something other than a hundred loss season. I think I think that the temptation to bring Dela Cruz up is going to just increase as we get closer and closer to maybe the All Star break. Well, Ella Dela Cruz is going to play for the rent at some point this season. So it's it's a matter of when and not if. I guess the thing for me, you know, even in spring training, everybody acknowledges he's got every tool he can hit. Get it for power. The exs of the velocity of the
balls jumping off of his bat are unseen in the sport. I think nobody hits the ball as hard as he does. He can run like a gazelle. He can feel he might have the best throwing arm in all of professional baseball. So the physical tools, the physical skill is undeniable. The reason why they would tell you they couldn't bring him to Cincinnati when the season started was he's got to learn to be more selective at the plate. Can't be
such a free swinger. He's got to take more pitches. That has happened. He's drawing more walks, you know, he is. He's still a swing and miss guy in an era in which swings and misses are not that frowned upon like they used to be. Fighting, he has shown a more selective eye at the plate and he's taking more pitches, he's working counts and so, okay, if that was the only box he really had to check
and he's checked it, what's the weight, um? And so, But he's going to be here, and when he's here, you know, I expect him to make an immediate impact. He certainly is going to generate buzz. I mean, I remember when Jay Bruce got called up and that was Hights, and I remember when Joey Vano got called up and that was Hykes
and Almer Bailey and a rold As Chapman and Johnny Plato. Frankly, I don't I don't think there's ever been the sort of fervor for a prospect being called up by the Reds that there will be when Ellie Dela Cruz finally gets here. And again it's it's only a matter of time. And I think I think if you're kind of targeting right around the All Star break, that's that's probably a pretty good bet. That's still you know, six seven weeks away. Every week on the PGA Tour. You mentioned you're gonna go play
golf every week on the PGA Tour. With exceptions of people like John Rom and Scottie Scheffler, there are there are players who win tournaments, they're in the contention, they're in the top ten, and then the next week they failed to make the cut. Michael Block last week at the PGA Championship put on that performance, that amazing hole in one as his club pro, finishing in the top fifteen, which you know immediately qualified him for next year's PGA
Championship. And then comes to the Charles Schwab Invitational and shoots eleven over in the first round. But you know, as a golfer, that happens. I mean, you have those those days that are just unbelievable and you're hitting the ball and you know you're right down right down the fairway and you know Tita Green and you're you're doing well, and the next time it's like you've never seen a golf club in your life. So Michael Block experienced what most
even professional golfers experience. Right. Uh. Last year I was playing around with our colleague Todd Curliss at Miami Whitewater. Yeah, and for the first time in my life, I hold one out from about maybe thirty yards right, I'll shift it in for a Bertie. Yeah, and I'm thinking, here we go and the next hole I parted at nine of works Man and and so so when you ship one in for a birdie, you celebrate it. And when UH you make the cut and you're kind of in contention at
the DCA Championship, you cash that check. And I hope that the next week you can have a similar ruckman, as is the case that that often doesn't happen. Doesn't doesn't happen for mere mortals, that's for sure. And here's the important thing. In the NBA playoffs tonight, I'm really excited to see what happens in Game six of the UH the Boston Heat series because no NBA team has ever come back from an O three deficit to win a playoff, and and this year it's the Celtics chance to do so. Of the
Red Sox did it against the Yankees in baseball. It's been done in the NHL, but never in the NBA. What are the Celtics chances now? I think pretty I think pretty good because they had the more talented team. Yeah. Now Miami has an absolute killer in the postseason and Jimmy Butler who has been terrific in the playoffs, and I think they have a coaching edge. They've also had some injuries. You know, they had a key player, Gabe Vincent not play in Game five. There's a really really good,
kind of complimentary guy for them, hurt his knee. I mean, the Boston Celtics were you know, seated where they were for a reason and excellent regular season. They were a team in the finals last year, with the exception of the head coach. It's basically the same that they had a year ago. So I like their chances and if they win tonight, they're gonna
host Game seven. But you know, the Miami Heat are kind of the Pittsburgh Steelers of basketball and that they're you know, even when they're not great, they're really formidable. I think they have a decided coaching advantage. It's still, you know, really hard to win four straight games, which Boston is going to have to do. They've got a shot. They've got a shot because from a talent perspective, they have to have the better team. Well, hey man, go eat some cheese, play some golf, enjoy
some more Midwest baseball, and thanks for taking time with us. Mo okay, man, see them, you got it. Mike Allen, Saturday midday, Just ahead, real quickly.

Godspeed, hey kids, Time for another story from Uncle Willie's Big Book of Great Americans. Today, Brothers Peter and Thomas McDonald in eighteen ninety eight, they worked in a bar next to the Hall of Justice in San Francisco. Lawyers would stop in and tell them about their clients and could not afford
the bail. Their brothers started loaning these people bail money for a fee, of course, and became the first commercial bail bondsman. So, kids, if you ever need a bail bond money, thank Peter and Thomas, two
great Americans like me. You can be a great American too.
