Partner, Greg Jones, not a partner that way, my bro, my friend and west Side Jim checked in, and Dave from Dayton is in San Francisco waiting through the feces and the drug addicts on the streets to see the Lady Gaga concert this weekend, and he's visiting his ninety year old aunt. So hello today from Dayton's aunt and Dave Bachrath himself, who are tuning in waiting to hear
from Dick in just a few moments. If you didn't know already, you got the memo A bunch of road closures now in e fact as of yesterday until August third, in Cincinnati for president or Vice president. Getting ahead of myself, Vice President jd Vance's trip back home to his Cincinnati residence,
and they're unclear on what Jad's doing here. Maybe here too assist his half brother Corey Bowman in his mayoral campaign, which would be a great stride forward for Cincinnati if you would elect Corey Bowman, by the way, my personal thoughts. The News department probably doesn't think. So let's talk to lady Lynette. Good morning, Lynette.
I am bound for the prom.
Land.
I am bound for the promu plan. Oh, who will come and go? Met? I am bound for the pros lan.
Amen, Amen, beautiful, beautiful. It sounds like you've got a live audience.
It's there, yeah, one in those days.
Well, I mean.
I have a pill I could take.
Huh, you have a pill?
No, this is my nurse. She's scared to bring it.
Oh, okay.
You know I caught the COVID and I didn't know it, Gary Death. When we talked l this week, I had COVID.
Well, you sounded fine.
I know I didn't know it. The reason I know what my part Turney said, I heard, yeah, covid, I said, not mean we don't got no covid here we both had it. Nobody told me. I guess because he's my part turning. Yeah, but look like had an inkling.
Well you sound like you're doing just fine now.
Yeah, I'm okay. But just the thoughts I didn't know I had.
COVID's just a Coldlynnette, that's all it is.
But I didn't even have that. I sweek, I felt great.
You sounded great, you felt great. Don't worry about don't worry about the Covidlynette. There were worse things.
Because it's been twelve days. I should be free because most workers used to come back in seven. Oh yeah, I don't worry about it. Hey, Davy Crockett, how you bet on the San Francisco lady?
Well, it's actually Dave Dave Bakrath, but Davy Crockett'll do.
Yeah.
Do you know who Lady Gaga is? Lynette?
Uh?
The woman said, she calls her Stephanie. His mother used to say, I remember first she whatever started out and she called her Stephanie. What's his name? Her name or whose name?
I just know her by Lady Gaga?
And yep, I lost your number.
So oh no, this is.
All your number. The screener has my number.
Well, yeah, I'm looking at them. This is this is the home number? Is this your number? Or or the Florence Park Care number? Read the name, it says Lynette.
Well it's her number.
Okay, fantastic. I will I will copy the number down and I will give you a call. Listen, you have a good time, and and stay away from those those infected COVID people.
Bog down, baby, we can't get out of bar room.
Oh geez, it's just a cold.
I know.
I lost my box of gender cookie.
I have a box. I have a box of in your cookies for you from Ray Scott, so I will bring them soon. I gotta go bye bye.
Oh is over? Bring them? Well, you can't come in. I mean you can come in, but I wouldn't die. You stay home.
I'm not afraid of the COVID. Lynette. I gotta go bye bye. Last I love you after COVID didn't even know it. Well, there you go, five point fifty four. All right, now the stuff gets real. It's official. The first official hour of the Saturday Morning Edition for Saturday, July twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. Gary Jeff Walker at the Helm, you were there. We're glad we're all together. Cuckoo couchew. I uh I think next week, next Saturday, my friend Ken Carly said he may come down to
the studio to visit. So we will have a panel, including of judges, judging each one of day. From Harrison's one line jokes his dad jokes. So I'm just trying to alert him now that the pressure may be on more than usual next Saturday. Dave, you may have people judging in real time your attempts at humor. How do you feel about that.
Good morning there, doll, baby, how we're doing today?
You didn't hear a word I just said, did you?
Yes?
I did, but it sounded very judgmental.
And yeah, no, it's not not judgmental yet. But next Saturday, just wait, it could get it could get a little hot for you.
Draw the high, draw out the low, and I'll be somewhere in between.
Well, we don't have any East German judges, so those of you don't have to deal with that since the Cold Old War's over.
I see, I see, but.
You may have to compete against a biological female AI maybe, Well, yeah you are, you are definitely AI all the way anyway, Uh, Dave, what have you got for us?
Well?
Gary, Jeff, I was just wondering to what do you What does it do before it rains candy?
Hmm? What does it do before it rains candy? Yeah?
Before, not after? Before?
Dave?
What does it do before it rains candy?
The sprinkles?
Hey, Gared, Jeff, Dave, do mass garat and lipstick?
Ever?
Are you sure?
What's sure? They do? But then they make up.
And then Jeff wise mentor fella once instructed me that you saved the.
Best for last. You know, that was me go out of the big finish.
Yeah, that was my suggestion, David. It's it's good advice that you should heed always finished strong, finish with your strongest material and then you can drop the mic or the phone as the case may be, and uh and move on and leave a lasting impression with the audience. That's what you do. You build up. You don't build down. You build up. So no pressure, now.
Heed this young paddle on. I went to a smoke shop only to discover it has been replaced by an apparel store.
Closed.
But no cigar jokes told by Da from Harrison are not necessarily considered funding 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. Mister Rick Washburn Old Radio. Rick, how's it doing this morning?
Hey, good morning Gary, Jeff. Yes, this is one of those occasionally moments you were coming in five by five between lightning crashes that we can hear over the AM dial. And by the way, a shout out to Brian, Hey, your dad's radio is finally coming home. And another shout out to Harry from Springfield and thanks for making it happen, buddy. This is a nineteen sixty two Zenith Royal three thousand and one. It is a Transoceanic. It is the second model that they made that was all transistor, that is
multi banned. It's actually got nine bands including a lot of shortwave AM and long waves and mettweather and marine and blah blah blah. But it also is the first one they made with FM oh and with the twelve transistors. Interestingly enough, it only runs on batteries, although you can get a little you know what they called a walwart. We called a walwart, a little transformer to a pug into the wall to connect in the circumvent the batteries.
There's no actual AC cord and I point that out because there's no power transformer in it, which is a very heavy item. Get this radio without batteries still weighs more than twelve pounds.
Oh yeah. The Oceanic or Transoceanic were very very heavy radios generally, weren't they even then?
Yes, and the tube models made sense that they were so heavy, But I don't understand why the transistor ones were. I kept looking for that lead brick in the bottom of the cabinet. I faked it out yet Anyways, these things sold to Actually yeah, this particular model was manufactured from nineteen sixty two all the way through nineteen seventy one. Gee must have been popular, selling for two hundred and
seventy five bucks about three thousand dollars today. This is the one that is oh my gosh, and luckily, in kudos to Brian's dad again for being smart, this is the one that's got the cool bake light handle with a flip latch, And when you sit the radio down, you hit that latch and then the handle flips up and it and the whip antenna pulls out from the middle of it. Cool idea, and unfortunately the bake light
shrinks a little bit. And also sometimes your thumb might find its way to that flip latch, and if that handle it comes free from the latch, then suddenly you find yourself holding a few shreds of bake light while the radio has crashed onto your foot and you probably have two broken toes.
No doubt. With twelve pounds, good.
Lord, don't use the handle, kids, Well, don't let your thumb hit that flip latch.
That just sounded good?
Is the kid?
Say?
Is there any catalog description of this radio?
There is?
And I was really trying to shred it a bit, and I could only find a couple of things to joke about. But number one, it says most compact lightweight FM AM band spread shortwave portable radio ever produced. Well, I was going to say, really, at twelve pounds and then you add the nine D sails after that, that's that's the most lightweight. Well, in all fairness, adding FM the first year that they did, yeah, it was the
first radio. It was the first thing anything like it, So they can say whatever they want to do.
Sure.
Then it was new FM radio reception and world famous all the news in the transoceanic radio, and I was thinking, how can it be world famous if it's all new? But no, again I got overruled because in nineteen fifty eight was the first transistor model, which was the one thousand and one, where this is the three thousand and one and it didn't have FM, but that was the
one that really well. And to be honest, like Grundig in West Germany and Sony and Japan, they both saw those and said, oh, we can do that, and eventually they did and actually took the market away from Zenith. Yeah, it took them fifteen years.
And they.
Basically Grundig and Sony both did two things. Number one was to add the digital tuner so you actually had a digital readout of the frequency, which is wonderful for shortwave. And number two they never did that stupid pay Clyde and tend to handle things well.
Thank you, Thank you for sharing the story and the radio with us this morning, at least over the radio. I did have something for you that relates maybe a little bit to your day job. Rick, would you like to hear this this story?
Yes please.
It's a story about the data center of the future. This data center runs twenty four to seven with only a man and a dog. The man's job is to feed the dog. The dog's job is to make sure the man does not touch the computer. Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com. If you'd like to get in touch with mister Washburn, it is six point twenty at seven hundred WLW forward to our times together on Saturday mornings. I mean, I look forward to this whole show basic.
It's basically a perfect show every week, and that's not my doing. It's everybody else who's on it, including this guy. And back to my original, I really look forward to these conversations. Actually more of a commentary, because I'm mostly just listening to the brilliance that emanates from one Steve Simon, Steve from ETNA, Good morning, how are you my friend?
Good morning, sir. When we deport illegal aliens who have established thriving businesses here in drug and human trafficking, and our own judges tell us we can't do that because it somehow violates their rights, I'm wondering about the rights
of the rest of us. When universities are turned into radical Muslim and Chinese Communist Party sells, and the courts tell us we can't stop funding their operations with federal dollars, one wonders who is running our country, and far left law schools are turning out lawyers using the system to weaponize their political foes. The system has always been a typically imperfect human invention, but like the case with your teenage kids. How much imperfection should you tolerate before it
becomes a comedy of errors. If you want a tragic case bordering on sheer farce, look no further than that of Laurencia and Them Benic of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born into a middle class family in nineteen fifty eight, Laurie she changed her birthname, got an associate degree in fashion merchandise management that apparently got her very interested in police uniforms, and she graduated from the Milwaukee Police Academy in nineteen eighty.
Several months into her probationary period, she was fired. Then Bennick would contend to her dying day that she was the victim of sexual discrimination. She then took a job as a campus cop at Marquette University. Soon after, she married Milwaukee Police Department officer Fred Schultz. Fred had just divorced his wife, Christine. On May the twenty eighth, nineteen eighty one, Christine Schultz was shot to death at her residence. Four weeks later, Laurie ben Bennick was arrested for the
first degree murder of Fred Schultz's ex wife. To no avail, Laurie claimed she was framed for the murder, so in nineteen eighty two, she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In nineteen eighty four, they now incarcerated. Laurie divorced Fred, but time, I guess, as in time served does sometimes heal wounds, and Laurie was introduced to Dominic Googliato, the brother of one of her inmates. In nineteen ninety, Dominic, now her fiancee, provided the getaway car when Laurie escaped
from prison via a laundry room window. Don't go away, It gets better, the former playboy Bunny became a folk hero despite her murder conviction. The newspaper headline screamed, Run Bamby, Run. That soon morphed into a folk opera of the same title, still pop and updated with fresh music. Laura Dominic were on the land for three months when Ontario police officers arrested them and began extradition proceedings with the United States.
Dominic wound up getting three months prison time, but Bamby declared herself a political refugee, citing her contention that she was a sexual discrimination victim framed in a murder case. The Canadians got a commitment from the United States that her case would be reviewed, and yes, it really was reviewed. In December nineteen ninety two, a Milwaukee judge reduced her life sentence to twenty years, commuted that to times served, and once she pleaded no contest to second degree murder
in that nineteen eighty two case, she was released. The prosecutor's office still believed than Bennick was guilty, but her lawyer had moved for a second trial, and the prosecution believed that some witnesses in the first were either dead, their memories unreliable, or they had simply embellished their stories. More significant, perhaps, was that the victim's son, who was at the murder scene, held to his belief that a
masked mail with a red ponytail was the killer. A serious question was raised about identification of the murder weapon, and Fred Schultz, the police officer ex husband of the victim, was actually allowed on the premises and searched the house despite being a person of interest. In twenty oh two, Laurie agreed to be on the Doctor Phil show. Given an apartment and a bodyguard. She had a prison confinement flashback, jumped from a window and heard a foot that had
to be amputated. In nineteen ninety six, she had moved to Vancouver, Washington, to live with their parents. The word was received in twenty ten that she had died in a Portland, Oregon hospice, suffering from hepatitis, ce liver and kidney failure.
She was fifty two years old.
You can still catch run Bambie Run at a Milwaukee opera house. So who did kill Christine Schultz? That kind of got long shuffle. Presently we have Jeffrey Epstein's incarcerated girlfriend playing Let's make a deal. There's got to be a folk opera in there somewhere. Anybody see a problem with a big picture? I think I do. Take care of yourself, Gary Jeff.
All right, interesting, interesting stuff. I've forgotten about that case completely. But she said she was fired, she was sexually discriminated against and framed, and the woman had a lot of excuses. Ray from leveland brother Scott. How are you this.
Morning, my friend, Gary Jeff, Good morning, doing great, doing great.
Steve always has the rest of the story.
It's awesome. Yeah.
The you know, the Fuedal Reserve, the good old Federal Reserve, Gary Jeff, you know it was to be in nineteen thirteen. Amazing, we made it till nineteen thirteen without a FED.
Another remnant of the Wilson administration.
Yes, indeed, and this is his follow up or trelude, I don't know which, to another atrocity in American history, to be the Federal income tax. I always thought it was interesting they both came to be in the same year. Nineteen thirteen not a good year. And you know, and yesterday we have our president, our American president that had the audacity to go check on the FED, and they're spending of three plus billion dollars on buildings, which you know,
a couple of things. Number one, the Fed's job is to control the flow of monetary moneys whatnot, and also to alleviate and or avoid financial crisis. Took less than twenty years for that first crisis. How that one turnout for us a great depression? Well, you know, and they are an independent banking system. Here's my question. Yeah, here's my question, Garrett, Jeff, Because you're a sharp guy, you're
a smart guy. If they're an independent banking system, why are you and I and all of us paying three billion dollars for a building?
Because Donald Trump wasn't in charge of the construction, and he should be.
Because he looked like the boss yesterday?
Was it? That was the best thing in the world. When the estimate the the estimate cost was two point seven and Donald Trump produces a piece of paper said it's three point one trillion dollars. And Powell is sitting there shaking his head. No, it's not yet, as look, oh, that's for the other building. He said, well, that's part of the construction. You notice he made him look like such a deer in the headlights. It was wonderful. I relished every moment of that. Jerome Powell. I'm not a
smart man, but I'm smarter than those guys. I'm smart enough to elect a president who knows how to run a government and a business. And that's the one we have currently in office exactly.
And the FED is in the red.
And if you notice the background in that shot that you're referring to, huh, look closely at the tent of the wood in the scenery.
It's red. It's in red. The FED is in the red.
So all the best parlor, God, bless you, God, bless.
You, thank you. And there is a huge Festival today in Lindsay, Ohio. Here to talk about it is one Tim shimming. Good morning, Tim, good morning. Are you live on the festival grounds as we speak?
Yes, I am.
Where are those festival grounds? Again? Where is Lindsay, Ohio? What road is that on?
Stay Route five?
Five?
It's by Fremont, Ohio.
I know where Fremont is. Okay, the home of the home of Rutherford B. Hayes. Yes, So tell me what goes on at the Sunflower Festival in Lindsay, Ohio.
Marathon, food trucks, crafts, arts, petting zoos, sunflowers, sunflowers, lots and lots of sunflowers.
There's a would the.
Acre sunflower field right next to the facility.
All right? This is off of five ninety in Lindsay, Ohio. Yes, And the world is coming to Lindsay. Do you know that? Also coinciding is the one hundred and seventieth Ohio State Fair. It may be a little bit larger than the Sunflower Festival, Tim.
Just a little bit.
Okay, Well, listen you you have a great time today. How long is that run?
From nine to nine?
Nine to nine today?
The Sunflower Sure, I'm sure people will be you know starting to you know, simmer down around seven.
Okay, good night, Well boy, you guys really know how to kick up your heels and party. Listen, have a fantastic time, and thank you for checking in, my friend. We'll take a break and Steve Schulte returns with an environmental update right into another hour of this Saturday morning edition for this Saturday, July twenty sixth, twenty twenty five,
Gary Jeff Walker with you. Next hour, we will be speaking with Mike DeMoss, who has transitioned into a spokesperson for the Dell High Skirt Game, which is next Friday, the annual event featuring men and skirts playing softball. You know, it's the only time I want to see, uh, a guy with a beard dressed up that way to have fun for a great charity. But we'll talk more about that as we continue this morning. Right now, just back from his Alaska cruise with his beautiful bride, Robin, environmental
engineer Steve Schulty joins us. Steve, you got to tell me, how was it?
Oh, Gary Jeff, if you ever can do it, do it, I can say it is beautiful.
It's absolutely beautiful.
So what was was there? Was? Was there a highlight.
Uh well, while I talk about it was the highlight Glacier Bay to me was it was a great highlight. But uh, and we really lucked out. I mean every place we went to catch a cans you know, Skagway, Glacier Bay, sitcuff.
Everybody's saying, Man.
Usually it's rainy and foggy and cool around here. Even during the summertime. We had sun son son So that's great, no cool weapon and no humidity.
You know, it was great. It was great.
So in fact, we didn't we didn't have rain until yesterday morning when we when we got off the boat in Seattle heading home.
But at it was who cares at that point, right?
So you wanted to talk about how the glaciers of Glacier Bay changed before the Industrial Age.
So you know, I'm looking at a pro shore put out by the National Park Service because Glacier Bay National Park, and it was some something interesting there of tours. It talks about the Great Ice Age that ended about ten thousand or so years ago, I believe or not, when ice the glacier of about half a mile thick came
down into Ohio and ended stopped around Norwood today. But anyway back in sixteen eighty, they show a picture or it's not a picture, but you know, a graphic of what the area looked like, and it said, basically, in sixteen eighty there was no Glacier Bay, only a broad valley with the glacier moving down which was about half coming out halfway down the valley.
But there was no Glacier Bay as we know it today.
Now they say seventy years later, then the little ice Age came and went by geographic measures, by seventeen fifty to glacier, which is thousands of feet thick, reached its maximum, jutting out into what's called Icy Strait. So it moved another twenty five to thirty miles in a matter of seventy years. And it says when George Vancouver sailed here forty five years later in seventeen ninety five, that's where Vancouvernk gets its name, the glacier had melted back five
miles into Glacier Bay, which had gauged out. Then going another one hundred and thirty years eighteen eighty, this is before this basically just started the industrial Age. Yeah, and John Yore, he's considered the father of the National Parks traveled here in eighteen seventy nine.
The glacier had.
Retreated forty more miles.
Up the bay since Vancouver's visit, so way way, way before any real industrialization happened, This massive glacier retreated more than forty miles.
Are you telling me, Steve, that there are just natural earth and solar cycles that dictate glaciers and ice caps and sea levels and all the rest and temperature and it has very little, if anything, to do with man made emissions. Is that what you're trying to tell me in this particular example.
That's what this Glacier Bay is showing us. Obviously it wasn't doing. It wasn't because of our cars or our power plants causing the warming of the earth. Something was going on outside the van that warmed the earth so much that this huge glacier retreated more than forty miles. Now I get now today it's still retreating, but at a slower rate. We're now you have to go about six We have to go about sixty five miles up
the Glacier Bay before we saw glaciers. But okay, yeah, right right here out of the US Forest National Park Service brochure shows that there indeed was a little ice age and something happened that caused things to melt.
And it wasn't us. Thank you so much, welcome back, and we'll talk soon. Steve Schultz with us this morning. Dave Hatter on it. We have the the it professor from intrust It. Our friend Dave Hatter returns for a few minutes and Dave, good morning morning, Gary. Jeff. I keep seeing in my email the U the chance to unsubscribe to things that I don't particularly want in my inbox. And you think that's a bad idea. Tell me why if you hit unsubscribe.
Well, Gary, Jeff, I'm sure you have a ton in your mailbox that you don't want. Because we're all to lose with spam on a regular basis.
Yep.
And the bad guys know this, and they also know that people don't really understand things like spoofing, which is creating something that looks legitimate to the naked eye but isn't.
And a recent.
Tactic is they'll send you an email it might look very legitimate because they've copied an email from a retailer or something, and in this unsubscribed button or the unsubscribed link. It's it's basically designed to provide some kind of malicious functionality. So when you click it, thinking that you're going to
legitimately stop getting this spam you don't want. Instead, they either a steal your credentials because you have to log in right you click a link it wants you to log in, They're going to get your user name of pass word at AK credentials, or possibly b it might try to download some kind of malware like a lansomware or a keystroke blogger or something like that.
Simply hitting unsubscribed. This could happen.
Yeah, yes it could. And again, the bad guys know this. They know people get tired of spam. And you know this is true, Gary Jeff. Really, whether it's an email that says unsubscribed or a text message that wants you to click a link or something to stop it. You know a lot of times with text, you know, reply with yes or no or whatever. If you get a text message and it wants you to click a link to stop those messages, you know you should have the
same sort of skepticism. I'm not saying, yeah, I'm not saying there's no legitimate subscribe options.
Out there.
And you know, technically, for legitimate businesses under the can Spam Act, you have to give people away to unsubscribe. But the bad guys know all of this, right and again they're just using this as a thinly veiled guys to get you to click a link and you know, steal your credentials or or give you some kind of malware because they're smart and evil.
Frankly, well of course they are. And when you say smart and evil, I picture a guy with a bald head petting a cat like Austin Powers.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it. So if you you've got the chance to unsubscribe to something, I think twice before you hit that, and and make sure you never go to a link to stop something, right, yeah, real, real quick.
Here's what you can do, Gary Jeff.
If you're concerned about that, you should be a go to the site, like go to Amazon or whoever you're trying to unsubscribe from, and then you use the features on the website because you went through yourself, or b just use the like a report junk or report spam option, pick the mail in whatever mail interface you're using, Outlook, Gmail, whatever, and just say, you know, block report, junk report, spam
or whatever. It'll still keep coming to you, but it'll go into your junker spam folder and then just do clear that out occasionally. Problem solved.
All right, very very good, Thank you for the advice. Dave hatterback with us this morning, little tech talk. How time for the Tom Davis Diary, or so I like to call it, the more Ozzie Wild Waggy weird stories from around the country and around the world.
Here's your corresponding Tom Davis. Good morning, Gary Jeff. This week beware the beer only diet. But first, Chelsea Robinson went to the Caribbean to have a what implant procedure
done and surprise, it all went so wrong. Now, she made it out of surgery without any problems, but when she went to the gym to show off her new backside at the squat rack, well, she must have exceeded the maximum PSI because her butt cheeks actually ruptured, the implant itself worked its way out of the incision, and the implant was just hanging there on the side of her leg. Chelsea then had to undergo corrective surgery to fix her busted elective surgery and that fix cost her
eighty five thousand dollars. A North Carolina road was recently shut down due to a toothpaste spill. The toothpaste mixed with sawdust created a messy and slippery mixture. The road was professionally cleaned before being reopened. Not sure if the final rents was listerene, but drivers did say it smelled nice while waiting in the backup. In Brooklyn, a forty year old man stripped naked before stealing a dinghy and led police on a nautical pursuit along the Hudson River.
Cops were chasing him from the shore, along the water, and in the air, where they undoubtedly were able to keep his dinghy in sight.
He was eventually dragged out of the water. He was believed to be.
Under the influence and finally, maybe drinking beer and only drinking beer, as exciting as it sounds, might not be the best idea. A man died after going out of beer only diet for over a month. Emergency workers found him lying in a pile of over one hundred beer bottles. Apparently his wife left him and he was having trouble moving on. The experts reminding you that beer lacks the nutrients for sustenance and should be consumed in moderation. Sounds
like they just want more beer for themselves. Next week Domino's showing off a new pizza protecting robot Dog.
Have a great weekend into another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday, July twenty sixth, twenty twenty five, GJ. Dubbs and without any further ado, because frankly, I can't stand a do Let's go to science Mike a science minute. As we started this.
Out, yes, as a night and scientist who is been surprising a Dell binding me.
With Michael, we are packed. I've got to talk to another mic from Dell High this hour about the Dell High Skirt Game, which is coming up next Friday.
Yeah, that's just up the hill, that's up the street here.
So what have you got here?
We be right to following up on.
Actually, I was listening to Steve this morning talk about the glacial formations here in Ohio, and this is kind of a local local science. If you ever want to read about the geology of this area, there's a paper written from two thousand and seven from Paul Edwin Potter exploring the geology of the Cincinnati and Orek, Kentucky region. And it's quite well done. It talks about all the stuff. But to quickly get to Steve talked about Norwood and
how the glaciers came down. Actually, the High River is only like two million years old. So prior to that, there was a river called the tays River and it spelled t a y s And it flowed from North Carolina north northwest, just north of Hamlet County up all the way up to Fort Wayne and then it kicked kicked north went west from there into Illinois. And that was a very deep river basin, but similar to the Higher River. But the Northwood they called the Norwood Trough.
That was actually a water tributary that flowed through Norwood and actually went up north into the into the Tayes River. And also the Licking River which flows north that they called that the ancient Licking River that flowed north also and came up to the to the Tayes River. And just where I'm at and Anderson Anderson Ferry, there was another river that came up through here that flowed all
the way up into the Tayes River. So when the glaciers happened to the Wisconsin and Rick Glacier formation came down through.
This area.
It pushed, it.
Changed the whole topography of this whole area and created the Ohio River basin, which changed all the flow of the dumped all that sediment, which created the Mill Creek and the Miami Rivers to flow then flowed south into into the Aye River. Now, you know, you can think about the Norwood Trough because you got Ridge Avenue, exit the ridge above Norwood, and then you come down Montgomery and you come down Ridge, you come down into the Norwood Trough, and then you come across Paddock and running
and you go back up the hill. Now that whole the whole purpose of the topic really is how that whole formation guided our development of this whole area because of the highway systems and train tracks they all followed this these basins carved out and formed by ancient rivers and the and the glacier as it came and receded back through up to the northern Ohio.
Interesting stuff this morning, Michael, Thank you. I appreciate that. Real quickly. Let's get to Dave in Alexandria. You had a comment on Golden Earring. You actually bartended for them in Amsterdam.
Job, Yeah, sir, certainly did. How was it, hey, fantad It was funny. I was telling the screener that, oh, I served them guys for a few times. Never had any idea who they were, you know, till my boss one day, matter of fact, the name of bar Susie Saloon our thirty fifth anniversaries in March this year, and my Danish buddy that owns the place, he said, do
you know who these guys are? I'm like, nah, let's go with earrings and no kidding, because we had their song in our jukebox anyway, you know what I mean. I played Radar Love a zillion times like everybody else.

And today, Jared, we're coming from First Family Old chapter two, verse two. They say there is no one holy like the Lord. There is no one besides you, There is no walk like our God.
Amen. You know that's that's the whole thing is that we need to realize our place. We are all we are all creations of God, which means that we are not equal to God, and we cannot do the things that God can do. Yeah, and and when we try that with Gary, because.
I find no room for debates in that. In my opinion, I find no room for debate.

Thank you that, Teresa. I want to talk to my buddy Mike Demos, who has been involved with the Del High Skirt Game. I don't know how many years, but he's comfortable in address, which always makes me very uncomfortable. How are you doing, Mike?
Good morning, j J Hi you doing, buddy? Thanks for having us on YEP.
Next Friday Night right.
H Next Thursday and Friday Thursday, July thirty first, and Friday August first, Del High Park Field one run up Fully Road in Del High.
Thursday this year Thursday, you have like the warm up party and the band and and the home run derby. Is that right?
Well?
Thursday we switching up a few years ago. We actually play a real softball game now, which is kind of fun. So we actually have four local teams coming out to play for the right to play the ladies on Friday. Okay, so we have a little tournament goes on for that on Thursday. We're there six to ten obviously, all your usual festival games and stuff, kid big kid zone, playing food, drink obviously all that stuff. We have a great band from six to ten. I think you liked the name
of this band last time. That one party band, Yeah, is the name of the band going on again. And the ray is just amazing if you ever heard of them, they're they're definitely worth coming out to see you for.
Thursday all right, and then the Skirt Game on Friday itself, right, this is when the ladies come out.
The Ladies coming out on Friday six to eleven, same boosts and all the festival stuff. Obviously the Beers Kid Zone the biggest thing. Obviously we have the game, the Skirt Game isself. This year we're also going to have the firework show, which we always have, which is I think pretty much one of the best ones on the West Side at ten pm. But we're also adding the Drones Show into that as well. Everybody's big in the Drones Show that that should be a heck of the event.
And then we have Oh Halen Max, who's the local West Side cover band who every loves these guys. Another female singer of Nicky's a great singer, so that'll be a good time as well. So there'll be the band there for Friday night.
Now you say the ladies are all the ladies actually biological men.
They are, Yes, they are.
And so you don't allow any women in the skirt game?
We have no. There wasn't asked. So if someone asked to be, I don't think we'd say no. It'd be nice to have a real girl out there for a change.
How many years have you How many years have you done this, Mike? I know it's been I've been.
Involved for about ten or eleven. I actually had family members, actually a couple cousins actually play in the very first one forty eight years ago. But myself I've been involved like ten or eleven. Sherry, my wife always see you know her, Yeah, she's been INVOLF for about fifteen or sixteen now, all.
Right, and and again this game. The proceeds from this whole this whole festival Thursday and Friday in Del High, it it goes into a very special charity fund that helps actual families in the area.
Right, absolutely everything stays in Del High. Every money, every everything we're raised throughout the whole year stays in Del High to help people need in Del High, whether it be a someone gets six, someone you know, lose their job, they can't pay their mortgage, they can't pay their car, bills. They can't pay their electric. We don't actually pay medical bills, but we do pay things to keep them going, to get them back on their feet.
That's great. Dell High Skirt Game Field one, del High Park, del High Field rather and Thursday from six to ten, right.
Yes, correct, and then Friday from six to eleven with the fireworks at ten.
All right, fantastic brother, have a great, great turnout this year. It's it's it's one of those things that it was challenged a couple of years ago, but that controversy is over, thank god, and thanks to ww.
William was a big sport of the game, so he had a lot to say about that a few years ago when that happened. So that was great.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well listen, Mike, take care brother, and we hope to see you soon.
All right, all right, thanks for having me on me. I appreciate you.
Bet eight twenty three seven hundred WLW. This morning, I'm going morning kids time for gifts from Wally. This might have actually happened. I'm working at behind a bar after the show show last Saturday, and old man looks to be in his early eighties walks into the bar. He sits down and he starts crying. So I walk up and says, saying, Hey, what's going on? Ago? What's wrong? The old man looks at me through these tear stained eyes, and between sobs, he says, I married a beautiful woman
two days ago. She's a natural blonde, twenty five, intelligent, a marvelous cook, a meticulous housekeeper, extremely sensitive to my wants and needs, very giving, my best friend, and intensely passionate in the bedroom. I look at the old guy and I say, that sounds great, sounds like you got what every man wants in a woman. Why are you crying? He looked up at me and he said, I can't remember where I live at Into the wide world of sports. Sweet plunge headfirst and back onto the golf course with
mo Egger. This morning? Hey, mo.
Carry Jeff, how are we doing?
What time do you tea off? This morning?
Seven?
Seven?
Good lord? So you're on the second hole.
I know we are. Uh, you're finishing up the sixth.
All right, fantastic. You know I I shot at seventy two once, but it was for nine holes. Likewise, yeah, so I mean, I mean you got to you when when weather is this intense. You've got to get out as early as possible, I would imagine.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean it still gotta you got you gotta be on the course before eight this time of year.
Yeah, it's still pretty steamy even at that. Right.
Uh, we're getting there, man. You know, it's temperature's gone up. I think I heard Sandy Collins in the seven o'clock news say it was seventy four degrees. It ain't seventy four degrees.
Right now.
I got you. I got you. Well. As as you continue to go through. Uh, you're just finishing up the sixth you say, have you putt it yet?
I putted while I was uh, while you put me on the air.
Okay, did it go in?
Uh?
No, But they.
They gave me, they gave me the putouts of that. So we're good.
All right, fantastic. So going to the seventh t we talked to Moggar this morning. Shamir Stewart finally signs after this h this elongated rookie holdout. What was the problem. What was the hold up with Shamir Stewart?
The road up was Yeah, so the hold up was contract language. You know, basically the way the NFL works. It's not like it was, you know, twenty years ago, where every player who was drafted could negotiate essentially their salary, their guarantees, which there weren't many back then, the number of years on the deal. You know, you and I
are old enough to remember. When you know, almost every year the Bengals would have holdouts with rookies with first round draft choices, and typically they were haggling over the
raw dollar amount. Now that is pretty much set in stone with what Shamar Stewart and the Bengals were at odds over was the language of the contract, and basically with the Bengals trying to do is what a lot of NFL teams have done, which is we're going to put in some clauses that enable us to void some of the guaranteed money, if you know, and Mike Brown use an extreme example this week on Monday and Media Day, if a player goes to prison, well, we don't want
to guarantee his money. This is kind of becoming commonplace around the NFL. Schamar Stewart's position was, well, the Bengals have never done this, why do you have to start it with me?
So that was the sticking point.
Ultimately, my understanding is Schamar's side eventually caved on the language, and the Bengals guaranteed more money upfront, put more of the signing bonus up front, and so you know, the two sides did what we have been hoping they would do for months, which is they reached the compromise, and now Shamar Stewart can get the camp and he's got to play catch up, but not nearly as much as he would have had this holdout.
Continued, and Henderson continues to hold out and be fined fifty thousand dollars a day.
Yeah, he's under contract, so not coming to training camp. The way the rules work, if you're under contract, the team can find you.
Now.
Often what will happen is if the two sides come to an agreement, the team will say, look, let's forget about the fine and let's move on. We'll see if the Bengals do that. But Shamar Stewart signing his deal kind of takes away at least a little bit of
Trey Hendrickson's leverage, right because they needed one. And so now if you're the Bengals, you go, look the guy that we drafted with the idea of maybe replacing you one day is in camp and so maybe that compels Trey to come to the negotiating table willing to take a little bit less. We will see. My guess is this doesn't have a conclusion anytime soon. But I think a lot of people were saying that about Shamar Stewart midweek, and last night we found out he signs, So we'll see.
Well, my question to someone else this week mo was, let's see, even with the remarkable season that Trey Hendrickson had and has had he's older, did the Bengals make the playoffs with that wonderful season Trey Hendrickson that I mean to me, it all, it all, It all matters. The only thing that matters ultimately are wins and losses. And if he's not helping them win games and get to the playoffs, then what's the point.
Yeah, I think that's that's kind of their position to a degree. And if you look at some of the upper restaurant edge rushers who have been paid big this offseason, you know, Miles Garrett's team didn't make the postseason. T J Watts team made the postseason and got beaten in Game one. Max Crosby's team didn't make the postseason. There are there's validity to that. At the same time, if you're Trey Hendrickson, you go, look, you guys had an atrocious defense last year.
I was awesome.
Do you really want to try to see if you're going to have a significantly better defense this season without me?
We'll see.
I've said to you many times over the last couple of months. I think the basic premise of each side is not unreasonable. Trey had a great year last year. He's been a marvelous Bengal. He wants a significant pay raise that is reflective of how the market has changed, and the Bengals who have offered him a contract, who have made multiple offers that would represent a pay raise, look at him and go, man, you have been awesome,
but you're probably a depreciating asset. While we like to keep you, we're not necessarily interested in paying for twenty twenty four production in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven.
A young man named Nick Kurtz last night for the Oakland Athletics, so rookie who was drafted the same year as our Chase Spurns, had a career night last night. If he doesn't do anything else in his career, that night will be engraved in Major League Baseball history. Six for six with four home runs in a game, amazing.
One of the most remarkable individual games of all time. Jay Jeff, I almost made a hole in one while I was talking and you, I'm not gonna lie to you while you were asking about Nick Kurtz. I think I just hit the greatest golf shot of my life on the seventh hole of California and it nearly went in. And my friends TJ. John and Barry could attested that.
So how many how many yards? How many yards?
What was the yardage on that one? Wow? And what do you think of like a foot away?
Wow?
Did you hit the did you hit the flagstick?
Or I'm right next to it?
Man, Oh that's beautiful. See. We ought to do this. We ought to do this more often if you're gonna.
Hit shots like I called David John, Sorry I called that.
I screwed that up.
But yes, Nick Kurt's an unbelievable history making game last night, and now in the same draft class, Chase Burns is going to have to one up them by It's something like a perfect game or something.
Well, he's gonna have to quit giving up home runs in between the strike ass.
Uh huh uh yeah, no, you you with him. You see the upside, right, you see brilliant. You see what he can do. You see his stuff, right, I mean he can, he can, he can, Uh, he can fluming hitters who are far more experienced. But I don't know if he has lapses or I don't know if he just hasn't figured out a way to not thro fastball center cut at times to big league hitters. But they're really high on Chase Burns. I think most Reds fans are really high at Chase Burns, and they should be.
But yeah, it would have been nice to have Nick Kurtz last time.
Well, you think was somebody who has uh has the location abilities of an Andrew Abbot on the squad. Maybe, uh, maybe Andrew can help Chase out. Maybe.
You know, Andrew abbit has a big start today. Obviously he has kind of assumed the mantle of staff Ace. They lost his last start. But you know, Andrew Abbot froze hard. But when you think of Andrew Abbot, the first thing that pops into your mind is not velocity, right, it's it's not man, he can get it up close to one hundred. It's control, it's getting ahead of the hitters. It's not screwing around, it's hitting his spots. And there's
something that some of these other guys can learn from that. Frankly, I think Nicolodolo has kind of learned that Nick Goodola's having a really good year. Maybe not quite the caliber of Andrew Abbott, but again, he throws hard. But I also think he kind of proves that you need more than just a blazing fastball to get hitters out of the big Well.
Yeah, man, he's not throwing one hundred miles an hour Andrew Abbott. I mean he's to me, he's still and I know I'm an older guy. He still reminds me of Greg Maddox at his zenith with the Atlanta Braves. He really does.
Yeah. With Greg Maddox, what do you think of you think of efficiency?
Right?
We call now complete game shutouts that take less than one hundred pitches. The term for that is a maddox because the reason he was able to go so deep into games is he didn't screw around, and maybe he wasn't piling up huge strikeout numbers, but he was efficient enough with his pitches that he was still often in the game in the inning and pictures don't go as deep into games anymore, but something similar does apply to Andrew Abbott.
Somebody was mentioning this, so I just wanted to get your take as someone who's in the business and you've done play by play, and you've done color commentary on certain things, particularly basketball and some football too. Who is your Do you have a favorite? Do you have a go to guy, a goat in the broadcast booth that
you always look at? And I mean somebody like Marty Brenneman is a perfect league and it's a perfect le good answer if you want to go there, But I mean, do you have somebody that you've always emulated in our business who does sports.
From a play by play perspective? Not so much because I'm not really a play by play person. I'll fill in for Dan Born on Bearcat games, yeah, but that's not my primary gig as a sports talk radio host. And I've said this to his face. I think Andy Furman is one of the best two interviewers I've ever heard. I think he and Dan Patrick's when it comes to conducting interviews are the gold standard. I have listened to some of Andy's old interviews because obviously I'm interested in
the subject. But I think he perfected years ago the art of interviewing. And I know this is going to be a controversial statement to some. I think Colin Cowhart is a brilliant sports talk radio host. And the reason why is when I turn them on, I never know what his take is going to be. And my favorite hosts, whether it's sports or otherwise, are the ones that when I turn them on, I might be surprised by what they have to say or I don't know what their take is going to be, and that's why I put
them on. And that's why I used to always say about Mike McConnell too nonsports, like I would turn on Mike not really knowing what his stance was going to be. Sometimes I could predict it, but sometimes he would surprise me. And those are are those are the hosts I love the most.
Yeah, to me, it's the art of the question. Asking you talking about Andy doing interviews, and that's kind of like what I focus on is wanting to hear what someone has to say and getting to an interesting point of getting there, you know what I mean? Sure and find in that place. So what did you think of? Oh I wanted to tell you I was, Did I tell you? Last weekend? I was in the the open little phone pool we did with friends that were about
twenty five thirty people involved. And at the beginning of the open, I picked Scotti, Scheffler, Rory McElroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and yes, Chris got her up and got her up was the key I won going away in that pool. I was fifty under with my four players in the open move a new record.
Yeah, gratulations.
Now, can I ask what that pays?
Well? I have the I have the undying gratitude adulation of everyone in the pool. I mean they all, they all text me and and you know, we're just effusive in their their praise. And I'm sure there will be a reward coming soon.
Now, there's no greater currency than the praise.
Of your peers, right exactly. And uh, I always enjoy our conversation. So enjoy the rest of your round.
And see I made the putt.
Well, let's hope. So I mean you were a foot away? Good lord? All right, Moe, take care, enjoy the rest of the golf game, counselor what's going on.
I'll tell you what, I'm pretty impressed by most golf game. That's pretty cool.
Almost a hole in one while doing a radio interview. You know what, can you imagine if he would have got it? What's on the show to I have to credit you a little bit.
Hey, we're going to talk about Donald Trump's Some really good numbers came in this week, very comprehensive. Wall Street Journal Paul Trump's looking good, but also sticking it to Columbia. They settled University, They settled that this week. It's unbelievable. I'm going to talk to Christopher smither and Kevin Burton James Bogan about another victory on the boys pretending to be girls in Women's Sports issue.
You had me at Smithers. I love Smithers. I do too. All right, Saturday Midday with Mike Allen coming up next after the show show at Huddles. Yes, we will be slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others. Hope to see you there. Het non attorney spokesperson pay for Baction matters texting
