We could change it out, desk. It's it's it's tweet. It's

a tweet song. Right, it's fine. It's Tennessee birdwalk. It's it's a classic. There you go, listen, pump that applame. I'll pump it out. They'll have to whisper when they sing. Sure, chir that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. So anyway, is there a song you'd rather have as your walk up song, Dave? Not that I know of, No, Okay. I just feel very fortunate and blessed be able to orate with you together. Are we orating? I think so? Okay. I just made a smell sort of want a big whiff of that.

What are you talking about? Never mind, never mind. Here's the other day. I tried to hook up my phone h some bluetooth in the truck there, Yeah, and and it said I had the parrot. So I went to the the pet store, but they didn't have it. Okay, speaking of birds? Yes, what else? Well? Down there, way down there and uh the Black Line and hills Rellisa, Kentucky, Uh down there where you know. Rock regime pretty much did away with the coal mining

industry type stuff. There was some guys that worked all day and they come up out of them, you know deal, and they but they were thirsty. They decided to go to the local water and hole and and get them something to drink. You know. Well they went in there and their dirty covered coveralls and uh and you know there are helmets with lights on air, you know, and they sat down and Tender come over and looks at them

and says says, I'm sorry, says we can't serve you here. And one of the guys says, well why not, Tender goes, we don't serve minors. That was really long way, Dave. That was a long long way. One more, all right, what do you call a fish with two knees? A fish with two knees? Yes, no, pretty obvious. It's pretty obvious if you think about it. Yeah, you called

a towne fish. Jokes told by Day from Harrison are not necessarily considered funny by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to be a colossal waste of time. We deeply apologize. Now back to our

irregular programming. All the pretty girls listen to Hey, Hey, Hey, Pretty girls listen to the pretty Girls to Him, All the pretty girls listen to joined Me my pretty friend, Bill Cunningham, Monday at twelve noon, Pretty Girls on seven hundred w l W. When you get nacho taco and banata spicy caso with halopanos, Fato Bismo's there, Fapto Bismo provides fast. Oh goodness, So Radio Rick. Upon hearing the fact that Dave had his own theme music, I thought he might deserve someone. I think he does.

This isn't it. We're still working on that. Actually he wrote he Radio Rick rewrote the lyric too. She's not there by the zombies. I think that's what it was. And uh, we haven't been in the studio yet. Let's just put it that way. The provisions need to be made. Good morning, Chris to two point zero, Hello Brooksy, and Hello Radio Rick. How are you? Oh good morning? Well, I think you probably looked at those lyrics I threw together and realized it's a good thing

you didn't stay with music as a career. What me staying with music or you staying with music as me me staying with music? Yeah, the uh. I'll try to rewrite it a little bit, some more of the lines. And I found it. I found it on my phone. No one told me about power do not apply. I don't know it just I think it needs some some more lyrical work. It's more talent. Yes, So how are you receiving us and what are you receiving us on this morning radio?

Rick? Well, this is a solid five by five and for the price that it probably sold for, I don't know exactly, it better be a five by five. But this is a nineteen forty one company. You may have heard of, Crosley an am shortwaves three band ten two with phonograph. It's a floor model and it is gigantic, and it has the biggest just about the biggest dial I've ever seen on any radio. I think Zenith may have outdone Crawsley. Of course they were having a little fun competing with

each and other own stuff that really didn't matter. And of course on the giant dial there is one station listed. Can you guess what that would be? Seven WLW? How did you know? But I mean it is a It is a great radio. It's a beautiful radio. It's got lots of knobs and buttons and dials and stuff, and it's got an RF stage and a massive amazing three stage audio output. So it'll it'll peel the paint right off the walls without even trying, and sound great doing it. But more

importantly, let's go to the catalog, shall we? Sure? What is it? How is it described in the catalog? A double engineering achievement to redouble your enjoyment of radio and recording keeping thrill on thrill. This year's Crosley radio and photograph combinations bring you two startling advances. Okay, goodbye needles scratch no more needle changing. Greatest invention for phonographs since the record Change. You're

exclusive with Crosley. It's known as the floating Jewel Tone system and the line I particularly love Let's see yeah no, uh where did it go? Sorry? Plugging Jewel Tone system only gives records, not only gives records longer life, but makes possible renewed enjoyment of old records discarded because of excess surface noise and needles scratch tone arms so light you can't you can't even scratch the record

even if you slide the arm across the record. Well, first of all, that isn't true now, but I'm impressed that it actually will bring new life to a record you already threw out. Isn't that what discarded means? That's asking basically this whole floating jewel thing instead of the steel needles from the old hand crank, right, Patolas, et cetera, this has a sapphire.

They didn't even go full diamond, so it's you know, the sapphire was kind of a cheaper alternative to the diamond and was a little bit larger. And so the big claim is that since the needle is fatter, it doesn't ride down where the steel needle was, so maybe there's still some sound just above it. It'll pick up and sound better. But yeah, trust me, kids, you can still scratch heck out of any record you own with this. Yeah, how come you can get clean needles for your heroin

but you can't get clean needles for your record player anywhere? It just doesn't seem right. Well, I think they're both single use items, but they tend to be reused and that's the problem, right, Well, hilarious. I tried, I really tried, Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com. Happy listening, my friend, and we'll talk to you soon. Working on that theme song for you. Is there a special time you like to listen to Scotsloan? I like to crack open a cold one, hop in the

hot tub and get my fill of Sloaney. Oh tell me, I like to listen when I'm washing my snake. I listen every day, well except for the day I went to the emergency room after I sat on that rake. I did that too, her Like Hell, I guess anytime is the

right time for Sloaney. That's what we've been saying.

Last Sunday, wife and I went and took a dip in the pool there, and uh, this Wednesday, we had oyster Fest at my friend Doug Bnson's house. This morning, the gang hanging out at Brookie Saloon. Good morning, gang, Good morning. That was a good time. The other evening that was something else. You you shucked and then I did the

We did char grilled on the halfshell and they were delicious. And our friend, our friend Matt Miller, brought pounds and pounds of shrimp and he cooked those on the blackstone. It was just a great day, man, it was. It turned out very well. I was shucking. You were driving, but I'm not sure what Matt. Matt was drinking. Usually, yeah, usually that's the case. Hey, we did, we did to do

a retraction. We're talking about food here. Last week I told you that farmer Dan named the corn Dogs this Bronco pup, But back it was our friend Gomer from way back in high school. So we'll get that retraction out of the way here. Yeah, the corn Dog people are looking to get into some litigation over the renaming of their famous snack Bronco pups, So the Corn Dog Association will now have to focus their attempts on Gomer, since Gomer,

since Gomer was responsible for the misnomer. He was, So we'll take care of that. Hay in down here this weekend. If Brookies no ban here, come down enjoy the Lions Club Festival runs this weekend for the fourth of July. They're doing it, you know, a few days early.

And Roger Bloomfield, if you're listened this morning, that joke was for you. Okay, Okay, babe, y'all have a great weekend and we'll probably see you sooner

than I expect. At six thirty nine at seven hundred WLW seven hundred L and I Heartwindio Station, the exclusive audio home of NBC's coverage of the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. A personal note, Liam killed the chunes there, please I found out yesterday during the day that on Thursday, the wife of Thomas Massey, Ronda Massey, had passed. I did not know Rando Massey.

I only know Thomas Massey because of of doing radio interviews with him and the fact that he is my congressman in the fourth District in Kentucky for the US House of Representatives and has been and I have been proud to call Thomas Massey my employee in Washington, d C. Looking out for the seven hundred and fifty thousand people that he represents in that district, and I still am. But just to Thomas Massey and his family and anyone who knew Randa Massey,

I cannot tell you how sad we are for you. And I can't say I understand, thankfully because I've never been in the position of saying goodbye to my spouse. But to Thomas Massey and his family are condolences. And I text Thomas yesterday and said, weeping for you and your family at this time, and really truly so, I just wanted to mention that, not to bring you down or anything. By the way, favorite headline of the week after the debate on Thursday night from the Babylon Bee, which is a

brilliant website. It's said Donald Trump indited from murdering elderly man on CNN. And with that we go to Steve from Aton, Ohio. Good morning, Stephen, Good morning sir. Yeah. On a brighter note, in forty eight hours, my dear wife of fifty seven years will turn the big eight zeros. Congrats, Becky. Yes, we got a whole gang. And here from Iowa, by the way, this weekend, coming to say you're in good tea birthday, Becky. You cannot believe, by the way,

the stories that they're telling about the rain out there. I am just a pull. I mean near where my brother in law lives. Eighteen inches in in twelve hours. Eighteen inches in Iowa in twelve hours. This is not Florida unbelievable. Okay, let's review the definition of news. It's not when a dog bites a man. It's when the man bites the dog. The unusual, the abnormal. My attitude toward the debate is that's ninety minutes.

I'll never get back and Joe never had. It's not excuse me, it's not news for Biden to be non compass mentis if anyone is aware of that and its effect on the US and the world. Here she I should have said, unaware of that. He or she or it or whatever preferred pronoun you have doesn't know what's going down. And it isn't food and car prices that's going down. But one socialist Democrat disingenuous read normal response to Biden's incoherence

was borderline newsworthy. Nancy Pelosi's nephew, Gavin Newsom, loudly praised Biden's performance and his record, while other top Democrats want to show him the door. Raises a couple of questions, doesn't it? So if you wanted to replace Joe from inside the capital cabal, what public attitude would you take? Well, of course, Gavin's right, you'd praise Caesar and stab him in the back. Since I didn't hear another brutus in the replacement pool utter something similar,

it looks like Gavin is still the front runner. By the way, my guess for the most despised Democrat by Democrats is Jill Biden. She of the doctor doctorate? Is she now Cruella DC because she keeps pushing Joe's candidacy knowing that it will and maybe Joe soon die, but to assuage Democrat loyalists, she thinks she will carry the vaunted Biden name into the vice presidential race with Michelle Obama's endorsement. That's my prediction. Questions to ponder if you don't

believe in coincidences but are a creative and curious soul. Here it is that Chinese weather balloon Biden left fly over our key military bases in the West until it finally made it all the way to the Atlantic coast. If it was a weather balloon, inquiring minds now asked, with all the crazy negative weather that we've been having, has anybody asked Fauci to check with his Wuhan business

partners to see what they have to say say about it? So, while we're all gaga over cyber attacks from overseas, maybe we've overlooked and underestimated the boys who gave us COVID. Yes, by the way, here in Columbus, it just drives you crazy. They complete lack of response to blacks killing blacks, but living proof that SeaBus folks don't know what the hell's going on. This has been going on for several years now. They like to call

their airport, John Glenn International. It is not an international airport. You cannot fly directly to Europe from Columbus, asked the Columbus Blue Jackets when they played a game in Finland several years ago. Two of my relatives were on that flight. Your first stop will be a city in the United States that does have a direct flight to Europe. This is what happens when you name your airport after a socialist democrat instead of oh, let's say the first man

on the Moon, who was also a born and bred Buckeye Rip. Yes, Neil Armstrong. The US electorate, is it really this ignorant turn out for primaries in some cases this week, like in South Carolina, less than five percent. You really don't give a damn. Can you learn Marxism at the drug store or at the grocery store. Yes, prices are up over thirty percent since COVID, But how many voters angry at inflated prices understand the

economics behind it? How many are surprised when they shouldn't be if they had studied Marx and the Soviet infiltration of American institutions in the last one hundred years. I mean, really, folks, Page ten. Thank you, Paul Harvey. Proposals to reinstate the draft to include women. This is the dumbest freaking idea I've heard in a long time. Bottom line, you wouldn't have to do it if you hadn't put a sign in the window that said white

males need not apply. Damn Okay. Back to Mother, Mothers of the Year, Mothers of Washington, d C. Masters of the Air, the book we were talking about last week. I wanted to mention, and maybe we can pick this up again next week. Also, I wanted to mention some of the incredible names that were dropped in this book. William Schier was a correspondent of the war in Europe. He was born in nineteen oh four died in ninety three. War correspondence famously after the war, published in nineteen

sixty, wrote Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. When I was in high school, this was mandatory reading if you wanted to know recent American history. Great great book. He worked for the Chicago Tribune and CBS Radio prior to World War Two, warning of the Nazi rise in Germany. He and Edward R. Murrow, his boss in London during that war, are credited with the first broadcast World News Roundup during their coverage of World War Two.

Raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. How about that? Yeah, more great radio people who come from Iowa. He graduated from co College there in nineteen twenty five. Murrow and Schier famously got CBS to end its prohibition of their correspondents talking on the radio, fascinating those sloppy reporting has hit the so called

conservative media. Hugh Hewett, attempting to explain why the Constitution allegedly bans the president and vice presidential candidates being from the same state, he brags by the way that he teaches con law, he cited the Eleventh Amendment in that prohibition. No, no, Hugh, if it's actually a prohibition, it's the twelfth which says that the presidential electors in a state with both president and vice presidential candidates as residents of that state, excuse me, cannot cast their votes

in that state's election. Now, that's in the first sentence of the twelfth Amendment, right, folks, don't go trying to read it. It's incredibly poorly written. As of right now, I can't tell you who's right and who wrong, who's wrong, but I can tell you it is the twelfth Okay, on MTD, a so called right wing outlet and anchor claimed the British House of Lords is equivalent to the US Senate. What not in this universe, my friend, the House of Lords has been reduced to mostly honorary

status. It's a debating society. Well that's the news of the week. I hope it's a hell of a lot better next week. Gary, Jeff, take care of yourself. Oh, thank you so much, Steve for met in Ohio with again another petyphone calling news of the week. Part of the news you may not have missed, even if you decided to devote ninety minutes of your time Thursday night to the so called presidential debate, which was one sided at best because the other side I wasn't awake or couldn't show up

or whatever after ten days prep. In the aftermath of the Biden debacle, on Thursday night, they had an after debate party for Joe Jill did his loving wife bitch on wheels? Anyway? This is Jill Biden after that awful performance by her dementia adult husband in the presidential debate, treating him like he's a five year old who just struck out in his little league game. Let's hear that league, Joe. You did such a great job. You answered

every question you knew all. Oh my god, let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do? That woman needs to be off the stage forever, on the trash heap of like following Hillary Clinton. She's horrid.

Chances for showers, maybe even a few storms are going to be popping in

and out throughout your afternoon. Especially you'll hit ninety feeling close to one hundred though for me severe weather station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harton on News Radio seven hundred WLW muns twenty four hours a day. News of Radio seven hundred WLW into another hour of the Saturday morning edition for this Saturday, June twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Curious about something What lies did Donald

Trump tell during the debate on Thursday? What specific lies not not what the New York Times is saying, but what specifically were the lies? Can you point to I keep on hearing that twenty six lies, sixteen lies. I don't know what they're talking about, kind of like Joe Biden didn't know what he was talking about all night. But anyway, I digress. Let's move forward. Shall we time for a visit with our environmental engineer, Steve Schulte. I see trees so green, red roses too, I see them blue

following you, and I think to myself what I wander for? And miss you're shilty? Good morning? How are you? Good morning? Gearge Jeff? Better than I deserve? Yes, sir, uh, so we're we're continuing on your rant about hating evs. Yes, uh. You know this is not just from one source. Collected this information from a number of storess over the past couple of months, here, there, and everywhere. And I call it EV batteries, environmental devastation and massive human rights violations. Oh

wow. The Tesla Model Y battery weighs about one thousand pounds and takes up all the all the space under the passenger compartment of a car. So people want to know this is these batteries aren't like the little battery in that you

have in your combustion engine cars. To manufacture this battery takes five tons of cobalt mineral ore, which is the most difficult to extract and the most expensive mineral uh in the battery, twelve tons of lithium rock ore, three tons of nickel rock ore, twelve tons of copper rock ore, a total of four hundred and forty pounds of aluminum, more more rock ore, steel, more rock ore, and plastic, oh my god, fossil fuels, and last, but not least, one hundred and twelve pounds of graphite, which

again is either mined more rock ore or produced synthetically in New Zealand by a firm receiving Guess what, Gary Jeff, what they get tax pair of subsidies to do it. So very welcome from China and Africa. Much of the Africa labor is from children, is by children, and we know the chi com use forced labor and slave labor, and in both cases there's little or no pollution control, which asked the question, Gary Jeff, for many years. If you recall where are the fair trade advocates? You know much was

spent by these advocates a huge effort to obtain fair trade coffee. So I asked a question, what about fair trade EV batteries? And finally, it takes an average of seven years for an EV for EV cars to reach net zero carbon dioxide. However, the average life expectant to see of a battery is ten years, so only the last three years is there to quote unquote

reduce carbon footprint. And then it all starts all over again. And none of these estimates of C and two emissions include carbon docks had emissions from the energy to process all this material, manufacture EV batteries, and transport them all over the world. So, in my opinion, to these who want to virtue signal by buying an EV, stop telling us how awesome you are for

the environment and human rights. Am I agree? So it takes all of those tons of materials to make one battery one thousand pound battery, not all battery, many batteries more than a thousand pounds. Oh so yeah, the Tesla white battery is kind of an average type battery. It's just amazing. And I got another little tidbit real quick, got time. Last night I

was watching a science channel and there's a program that comes on. It's called What's on Earth And basically, you know, there's satellites around the world, and the satellites pick up something on the surface of the Earth and then they you know, all these people, you know, what is it doesn't look right? So on and so forth. Well, the one satellite, there's a satellite up there that looks for other zone concentration in the atmosphere, plus

other gases and whatnot. And the number of years ago it picked up this weird looking red blob over the United States and they're kind of pulsed and whatnot, and everybody's going, what the heck is this? You know, can't be a volcano, can't be this, can't be. That can't be here. What they found out it was the US corn belt and that during photosynthesis, it puts off all plants put off a luminescent light. But it's so so so low that none of our eyes don't get it. But the sate

I caught it. But here's the key, one little tibit. It said that during its peak, the US corn belt generates more oxygen than the Amazon rainforest, which also means that the US corn belt consumes the more carbon dioxide and its peak. This is the key at just peak than the Amazon rainforest. Corn's good for the planet. Baby, Thank you so much. We'll take a break, come back, seven hundred WLW. Listening to a man standing on a city sidewalk isn't funny. Listening to a man standing on a

Well, a biohacking is definitely on the you know, on the on the well agaenda today because they have there's a company h others called Transudon what is uh it's called what it's well, the company a uh, well, well a Yale University came out with with a brand new

test uh that tests the tests eleven organ systems for aging. And and I didn't I don't know if you notice, but all your organ systems, like you cardiovascular system, your brain, your your intestin check or your digestive system, they all age differently. So so if you' you know, a drank for a lot of your life, or you or you or you just ate uh, you know, garbage for most of your life, you uh, the different systems age at different rates and so so uh So these adoctors and

a scientists at Yale developed a test to to actually a test. It's a blood test, it's it's a it's a stool test, saliva test that that actually tests, so they can they can tell what the ages of each of your systems. In other words, just because you're driving or you're writing around in a seventy year old body, it doesn't necessarily mean it's seventy from a gastro intestinal standpoint, or a cardiovascular standpoint or a mental standpoint. And I

think this directly relates. And I don't know what has caused say, for example, President Joe Biden to be cognitively cognitively in ill repair at the age of eighty one and Donald Trump to be seemingly sharp and not affected at the age of seventy eight. I wonder what the difference is. And it could have had lifestyle choice differences. But they have definitely aged differently, wouldn't you

say? So? Oh yeah? And you can see and you can see that some people their biological age, right if you know, like the chronologically age, Like my chronological age is fifty nine, my biologically age is forty six. But that's all together, you know, like like all the different bio markers. That's an average age for me. Now I can now I can actually see exactly what the biological age is of each of my systems, and I can work on those systems, you know, like together or separately

independently, right right, Yeah, that's the importance of this. Well, thank you for sharing that with us. I ate a dozen chargrilled oysters on Wednesday night, and certain parts of my body were twenty five Again, rocco, have a good day. Time for the Tom Davis Diary, like you call these. The man here is Tom Davis. Good morning, Gary, Jeff. This week you might want to add some fiber to go along with that cement. But first, some weirdo in Bloomington just got caught stealing from

old people. Markenis Hartfield was dressing up as a woman to get close to seniors who were living in assisted care homes. Now, once they trusted him, he would betray their kind by stealing their credit cards. He used them all over Indiana and Kentucky before blowing town. He was eventually picked up by cops in Texas. He was no longer dressed as a woman. Things are looking up for a famous fat cat in Canada, No, not justin Trudeau.

Axel Biggie Small's a forty three pound cat that's famous on TikTok. His owners put Axel on a diet and he's lost ten pounds since February. She says he is living a healthier lifestyle, but he's angry all the time and is lashing out of people who try to pet him. A woman from Iowa had a little fun with the Google Maps car as the privacy destroying vehicle came around the town of Barnum, snapping pictures as it rolled down the street,

she lifted the front of her shirt and brawl. If you look it up, the image is blurred, But the funny thing is there's some fat guy in the background doing the same thing. And finally, her name is Patrese Ramgulum and she's now famous for being addicted to eating sand, bricks, and cement. She calls them her comfort blanket. Her husband, who was unaware of her habits before they were married, was shocked to find her pigging out on a brick one day. Despite medical advice to stop, Pateresa's yet to

change her diet. Now, just imagine the concoction of Miral Axe Dulcalax fiber one bars that she's got to take to keep from clogging up her system. Next week, a hairless cat chosen as prom king in a small Pacific Coast town. Have a great weekend ah vacation time. You know, it doesn't matter where you go.

Let's talk to our friend science Mike, who has a Science minute warming up in the Bullpen Forest on a Saturday morning. Yes, but as a nightly scientist, is it surprising all blinding me with good morning, Michael. How are you? Oh? Pretty good? Gary? Yeah? How

you doing? I'm fine? Just sad news this week. I just found out this morning from another listener and this is not science related necessarily, although apparently he died of complications from Parkinson's disease, which is terrible, and they're looking for new ways to treat that all the time. The great satirist and parody performer Kinky Friedman passed away this past Wednesday. He was One of his most infamous concerts was a nineteen seventy three performance in Buffalo, New York.

When he was performing his song gets Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed, a song that lampoon's feminism. A group of what Friedman described as cranked up lesbians entered into a fight with the band and forced the concert to end early. The National Organization for Women awarded Freedman the Male Chauvener's Pig Award later that year, an award that he took with pride. He didn't come back to Buffalo until like almost forty years later, in twenty twelve.

Anyway, they were those all lesbians from the area, or they did they bust them in? Apparently there are a lot of cranked up lesbians in Buffalo. I don't know. But anyway, what have you got for us this morning? Yeah? All right, we're the first ever they're taxing the scientific term as they're taxing and terry fermentation. Terry fermentation is cow burps. Denmark in the first ever is now starting in twenty thirty taxing farmers for their

cows. The tax is going to be approximately seventeen dollars per ton of CO two. Who's gonna check. They're gonna have government checkers out there to see if the cows actually burping or they're just estimating. They're estimating because a cow will put out it's not CO two they put out. That's what they don't understand. They put up and they put out like sixty seven tons in a

year. So they're going to tax the farmers one hundred dollars and twenty thirty per cow on the average, and it's going to go up to like forty five dollars per cow. No, No, one hundred dollars per cow. So I've up to two hundred and fifty dollars per cow in twenty thirty five. It's the money grab, Gary jew of course, it's going to get like a billion dollars. It's no, it's like all of the green energy

crap. It's just a money grab. It's a redistribution of wealth and the people who are getting the money from us slobs are the ones who are the elites and the wealthy who are calling for it. Well, there's only six hundred thousand cows up there in Denmark area up there. We have nine million cows in this country. But the thing, the thing about if you took them, if you got rid of all our livestock and poultry were all over, it would only reduce global greenhouse gases by point three six percent. And

it's like, what do you what? What what what? What's the purpose of this? It's exactly That's all it's about is money grab and redistribution of wealth. The people at the u N and and the climate people at the u N have even admitted as much in the past couple of years. They've let it slip that it's all about the cash and taking away wealth from one group of people, i e. The middle and lower class and giving it

to the elites that are pushing it. It's ridiculous. The whole thing is, the whole thing is, the whole thing is a pack of lies just disguised as science and concern. And uh, I think it was last week, you know we had the heat wave, like yeah, yeah, everything news had the Bill Nye. They put Bill Nye on. He said, all we're going to see more uh more hot weather in the summer due to climate change. But you know I did not hear him the week before talk

about when we were head a low of forty nine degrees Sunday prior. No, you know. Now, Bill NY's an idiot and he just got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You can see what those people treasure science. Mike, thank you so much, my friend. Take care. Hi. I'm Rocky Woman from the Eddie and Rocky Show with a special poem just for you.

It was awesome, Gary, thank you. I'll walk up praying for you guys.

And I was going to send you a Bible though. But my roller coast, I mean my phone jumped off a roller coast for a sixth class California. I never lost my phone in fifty years. It fell off. Yeah, well, well, did you have it out or something? Were you taping yourself doing a selfie on the roller coaster? What was going on there? I didn't know flip loop and spend all at the same time, and I don't even know when it came out. So I was about a phone for like four days. Wait, we did, I did, but I

really didn't even try to call last week. I just figured you're in California. You're not hitting the airport until the next day on Sunday, and you're having a good time with your son, so I figured we just leave you alone. I found a verse, and I found one this morning.

We got to Disney Thursday morning at eleven am.

We left at twelve thirty. That nine, come here, Ricky. We have to ride every ride at the park. I lost nine pounds because I went to six amusement parks and we rode every ride. I never walked so much in my life. But great, just to see him smile, it was worth it. Oh that's fantastic. So did you work on any music while you're out there. I know that that was part of the reason you were going. Oh yes, most definitely. I already chose six songs for

the movie. But Eddie's catalog was just so long. The cat been writing like fifty years. But yeah, we're working a lot of songs for the movie, and he's really blessing me that dude can write. So this is Eddie from Blessed Union of Souls. Right, yeah, lass home and he's had this. Yeah, he's doing the sounds right, that's fantastic. Uh. Any any word on when the movie might be ready, Well, we're

Oh yeah, I believe me. I will be clued in. So let's uh, let's do our Bible verses. You've got one, I've got one, go ahead, Okay. Today we have Luke, Chapter one, verse thirty seven. I love it. Gary. It says, for nothing will be impossible with God I sent.

I sent that. I sent that to somebody this week who's been you know. And I feel like I need to remind myself of that all the time. You know, nothing is possible if it's just left up to me, but nothing is impossible if you leave it to God. Amen. And that's mine mineus John six twenty nine, And it says, Jesus answered, the work of God is this to believe in the one he has sent? Oh? Amen? Amen? Same area you do. I keep getting a Rick Way, and I know that's my weakness. I keep getting it my own

way. Yeah, yep, it's it's one. It's one thing you're gonna to say, you're gonna give it all to the Lord. It's another thing to do it. Yeah, two different talks.

FC Cincinnati is on the road in Dallas tonight. The Orange and Blue look to bounce back from their loss to the New England Revolution last Saturday. FC Cincinnati is currently second in MLS standings, two points behind Inner Miami. Kickoff is at eight thirty to night. Pregame cover begins at eight.

Listen to that game on ESPN fifteen thirty. But Messi's out. Yeah without Messi, A couple players or a couple of players on that inter Miami team are playing internationally for the next month, so it's time to make up some ground, no doubt. The Red Legs were shut out by the Saint Louis Cardinals last night, one to nothing. Frankie Montass got the loss such a pitching six innings and only giving up one run. The Red Legs are back

in action against the Cardinals this afternoon. Carson spears one in one on the year with a three point four to five ERA is on the mound for the Reds, and former Reds Sonny Gray is nine to four with a two point eight one ERA takes the mound for the Cardinals. Inside pitch begins at one to ten. First pitch is at two fifteen cats the action right here on

the home of the Reds seven hundred WLW. The Reds are currently eleven games back of the division, and they are four and a half games back of the last wild card spot, which is being held by the Saint Louis Cardinals. And tonight see three oh three Supposed to be headlined by Connor McGregor and Michael Chandler, they were replaced by a light heavyweight title fight between Alex Piira, the current champion, Jerry patchaka whatever Happened to Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson got sick, you had sepsis? Well, yeah, I mean so you get over that, don't you. Yeah, But I mean it does when you're in camp training, It throwes off your training you're on set schedule, trying to get to a certain weight by a certain time, being a certain shape. Jake Paul probably was gonna win anyway. I think it's best for I don't want to see Mike Tyson go out like that. I wanted to see Iron Mike do a hangover on James little Phil Collins on

your face, Davy A twenty four sneaking of faces? What was the face that Joe Biden was making on Thursday night and at lant that debate with Donald Trump, somebody called it twenty fifth Amendment face? And the Democrats have total melt down the next But you know what, Democrats shouldn't worry. They should just put Hillary Clinton in charge of Joe's palliative care and they won't have a problem in about a week. Clintons know how to take care of people,

so I've been told. So there were some definite low lights. Baraco Obama, who who's actually been in control during all three and a half years of this Biden term, because obviously Joe hasn't been from the very beginning, said bad nights happen, I know, referring to his first debate with Mitt Romney back in twenty twelve, which was widely his performance widely panned. Then it didn't matter because Obama obviously one in the election that November again re elected to

a second term. But he said, and I quote, but this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself, Between someone who tells the truth, who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight, and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. All Joe Biden has done is fight for himself and his family the entire time he's been in

Washington, and lies through his teeth for his own benefit. I think Barack was trying to say that was Donald Trump. They always point the finger at someone for what they're doing, they being the Democrats and the leftists. It's part of the playbook. Anyway, Aliam, do you have that one stunning moment when Joe Biden was a deer in the headlights and worse at the debate

on Thursday? And let's listen to that will make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the at the COVID scuse me with dealing with everything we have to do with We finally beat Medicare. Thank you, President, Thank you, Thank you President Biden. What did he say? And I love the point in the debate where Donald Trump looked at him after Joe had stuttered and stammered on again about nothing about nonsense. He said,

I don't know. I don't know what he just said. Frankly, I don't think he does either.

Who was standing? But which is? This is another fabulous thing about this morning show. We have a great callback from the golden days of the Saturday Morning edition. Uh but Liam, you had a chance to go to Kenny Chesney tonight at t QL Stadium and you can't. Where else would I

rather be? When you got you've got free tickets, the chance at free ticket and you can't go to the show. Why someone else step up, man and run the sc games on the radio. And I guess I'll be that guy. Oh so you're working for the Death Star tonight and can't go and this morning Double Duty had a boy rus would I'd rather be? Eat, sleep and breathe I our radio? Yeah, I remember what it was like to be young dumb in twenty two or whatever. I bet Austin Elmore

does too. It wasn't all that long ago. Ae, Audie. How you doing this morning? I'm good, Gary, Jeff, thank you for having me. And I am acutely familiar with Liam's five am Saturday morning and seven pm Saturday night shift. It's one of the worst that we ever do, but Liam does a great job doing it. Well, that's what it's like at the bottom of the pole there, all of the stuff runs down

the pole. But so listen, this is great. This is monumentous for me because it's a callback of immense proportions to have you back on this Saturday morning show the way it used to be, and it hasn't been all that long. What two three years ago, maybe four years ago, Austin Elmore was the producer. You were Liam then I was, yeah, I remember it well. I really don't know how long it's been, but it hasn't been that long. Feels like longer. Probably we were in a different studio

then. I mean, it's been a while. And I will say this, and I'm not doing this to blow smoke up your skirt, because you're probably not wearing a skirt right now, but Austin Elmore, I mean like after the second Saturday, it may have been after the first Saturday. And you know, I've broken in a lot of producers over the last twenty seven and a half years doing this show. I mean I get a new one almost every year, and it's always the youngest guy here. But I looked

at somebody and I said, oh, this kid gets it. He's and you can always tell, you know, they were the There are the Gillies of the world, and they are the Austin Ellmoor's of the world. And I knew from the very beginning that that you had what it took to stick around and the desire to do that. So congratulations on your ever ascending journey here at iHeart Media. But anyway, that aside, the Olympics are coming and we're going to be doing some coverage of the Olympics here on the Big

One at least, you know, highlighting events and stuff. You may even be talking about them as they're occurring in Paris. I don't know. But there are sports that have been omitted and sports added this year in twenty twenty four, and I wanted to get your your read on a couple of the sports that have been taken away this year. Baseball and softball. I mean, they've never been, you know, consistently on the They were played in

the Olympic Games from nineteen ninety six to two thousand and eight. They've van from the programs the next two games, and they were back on the summer stage in twenty twenty, but no baseball and softball. And understand that Major League Baseball is in the middle of their season, but still in all the College World Series has concluded they can have the best players from America face off

against you know, players from around the world in the Olympics. And I just when I think about the sports that have been omitted and the sports that have been added. I just kind of a head scratch. Are any thoughts

on that? Yeah, I mean, I know that the World Baseball Classic has been around since two thousand and eight, maybe even before that, maybe like oh Stitch O seven, and that I think is a bigger deal to the teams, to the countries to play in the World Baseball Classic, much like in soccer, it's a bigger deal to play for the World Cup in the men's game than it is to play in the Olympics. So I think

that they just value that tournament more. And if you were to do baseball in the Olympics, it would be a lot of young college players and in very again very similarly to soccer. Soccer in the Olympics is all like twenty two and under, twenty three and under, and they have like three spots on the roster for veteran players. So I think it's difficult to do that with so many people in minor league baseball, not only in the United States

but also across the world in their professional leagues. I just don't know how there's an easy way to do that that the players would feel like it's worth it. The WNBA has taken a break for the Olympics. Karate the open hand, karate the martial arts. Kobayashi somewhere is fuming that karate has been eliminated from this Olympic game. I didn't even know that karate was an Olympic sport, to be honest with It made a debut four years ago. And yeah, I mean it's a martial art. I mean, you want to

talk about participate all around the world and people at the highest levels. I mean, you know, seventh and eighth degree black belts, but no chance to win a gold medal at a Paris Olympics. Golf. Golf has been excluded from the Olympics in exchange for something called breaking whatever the hell that is. Yeah, I don't know what breaking is. Is it really breakdancing? Liam? Oh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I

was talking about this the other day. Break dancing. Yeah, that is like a new Olympic sport that is like all the it's hot right now people

break dancing and music and competitions and all this other stuff. Yes, I do remember reading about this that I don't know exactly what it's going to look like on a competitive format, but yes, you have almost like I think it's almost like the gymnastics where you have like the open floor to kind of do whatever you want to do, or like ice skating or whatever, and you go up against another team I think, like head to head or whatever it might be. I don't know exactly the format, but yes, break

dancing is in the Olympics. Tug of war has been eliminated from the Paris Olympics, and I find this this was this was like one of the original Olympic events. Yeah. Uh. The exact reasons for exclusion from subsequent Olympic programs are not specified in the provided information. The continuation of tug of war. The discontinuation of tug of war reflects the IOC's evolving criteria for including sports

in the Olympic Games, and solo now hold solo synchronized swimming. I thought the whole idea of synchronized swimming was to have a teammate, so I can understand why solo synchronized swimming is no longer a part of the Olympics. That makes no sense. Solo synchronized swimming, yeah, I mean the only thing, the only other thing you could synchronize too is the music. And I don't know if anybody cares as much much if you're doing it by yourself.

No. I remember an old parody from Saturday Night Live. It's Martin Short and I think Kevin Neeland in a pool with nose plugs on in the water doing so and I swimming and they're pointing out you. You, I know you, I know you. Sport climbing has been added this year to the Olympics. Surfing and you know I is there. I mean, are their chances to catch a wave in Paris? I doubt it. I'm gonna be interested to see how they how they've come up with that venue, I know,

and maybe on Cala. Yeah, I have no idea, all right, So you're making me think about things I've never thought about before. The Olympics is great because I don't think about it until it's on, and then I turn it on, I realize, oh crap, there's break dancing and surfing. I had no idea. That's what makes the Olympics great is that you really have no idea what to expect every time you turn on the TV except for swimming. Very good, very good? All right. Austin turned

just a little bit to the Reds when they scored the eleven runs. On Thursday night, I said, Okay, they're not going to score anymore this weekend in Saint Louis, and last night proved to be at least partially true for this four game set against the team they really need to beat if they entertain any hopes at all of being in a wild card race at the end of the season. But I wanted to talk specifically Jonathan Indy has been red hot. Obviously, it's nice to have Martee back. But I'll tell you

who's really impressed me is Fairchild. And here's why. As my wife says, he looks like he's twelve, but he plays like a man slamming against the wall, you know, getting timely hits. I mean, I've really been impressed by Fairchild. Your thoughts on Stuart Fairchild, Yeah, you're one of the few that I've ever heard say that. Stuart Fairchild certainly has moments defensively on balls in front of him, he's not very good. He makes a lot of mistakes in the outfield on balls in front of him, but

on balls behind him and balls in the gap. He's got great speed. He's shown the ability to be fearless around the wall. And he has made some game saving, game changing catches on those balls behind him. He plays every outfield spot, which is certainly a good thing to have for the Reds. He's been awful over the course of his career against right handed pitching, but on the other side of that, he's been really good against left handed

pitching. I think Stuart Fairchild is the classic case of a guy who is like a four to a player, like he's too good to be in the minor league at Triple A. He's not quite an everyday player in the major leagues, but he will give you those moments where you think, gosh,

this guy might be able to have it. But if you play him every single day over the course of a season, which the Reds basically have been forced to do because of all the injuries, yeah, you will see some of those shortcomings, those problems with not knowing how many outs there were. He's done that twice already this season, running into stupid outs on the base pass those moments. But then on top of that, he's had some big

home runs, he's had some big catches. He's just so much of this back and forth between what he could be and what he might be and what he actually is that it's been frustrating for the REDI and I think they've had a lot of that on their roster this season because of you know, filling all those spots due to the injuries. Yeah, and there's a youth factor. I mean you could say the same things about La Day La Cruz on a week two week basis. Sure, But God, there was one other

thing I wanted. Oh, I wanted to ask you, are you still on the Dave Keaton diet. I tried not to be anything involved with anything Dave Keaton. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, Well, I know he plays a lot of tennis. I know he plays a lot of tennis supposedly. Yeah, okay, Austin, Well, is there anything that you're looking forward to covering? I mean coming up real soon. It's just well, I mean we're less than a month away now from training camp.

I do think it's interesting if Ellie Da La Cruz makes the All Star team or if he doesn't, if he's asked to participate in the home run derby. I would really like to see that. Yes, that I think is interesting. The All Star Game I always love talking about and All Star weekend Major League Baseball. It's one of the few things they do really, really well. And then after that, actually, Gary Jeff, next month, I'm going to be in Atlanta to watch the Reds. First time seeing

the Reds on the road this year, So looking forward to that. And yeah, right after that, we get right into football season training camp. I'm fired up, no doubt about it. Good reason to be. Hey, thanks a lot for your time this morning. I appreciate you filling in for MO. And the next time you're on with me on a Saturday, I expect you're playing like MO did last week. All Right, I'll see if I can arrange that. Thanks for having me here. You bet, you buddy, Oh, counselor, how are you? I'm good? How

about you? I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just ready for another day of slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others at the bar in a really humid day. I mean, you need to be inside and get hydrated. There you go, sure and drink some drinks. What's on the show. Hey, we're going to talk debate. I think that'll be the overwhelming subject today. Gonna talk to Orlando Sanza. He's a guy that's got his finger on politics. He's going to critique the debate for US. Jannis Heisel, the National

reporter assigned to the Trump campaign. She was in Atlanta for the debate. We're going to talk to her, and of course at eleven thirty we're gonna talk to you about the Cincinnati Retz. All right, fantastic, sounds like a great show Saturday midday. After the show, show with me if you want to come on by at six twenty eight Mama Street. And just remember Liam has our our words to live by Today, Liam I go crazy every time. Oh you gotta give him that dude spent all that night
