As we wake up on this Saturday morning, August twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, I'm Gary Jeff Walker. Before we look ahead and look back at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history, including but not limited to these. On this day in eighteen fourteen, during our War of eighteen twelve, the British set fire to the still under construction Capitol in the White House and other public buildings. Still smarting from that revolutionary SmackDown, we gave
him a few years before I guess this date. Nineteen twelve, Congress passed measure creating the Alaska Territory. Amelia Earhart, before she got lost, embarked on a nineteen hour flight from la to Newark, New Jersey, making her the first woman to fly solo NonStop from coast to coast.
The year was nineteen thirty two.
Nineteen forty nine, the North Atlantic Treaty came into force NATO. Five years later, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act, outlawing the Communist Party in the United States. Looks like President Trump may have to do that again, if we're lucky enough to have him as our forty seventh president. Here in a couple of months, Mark David Chapman sentenced to New York to twenty years to live in prison for murdering John Lennon on this date in nineteen eighty one.
Nineteen eighty nine, Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti baned Pete Rose from the game of baseball for betting on his own team, the Cincinnati Reds. Let's see anything else. There's a bunch of stuff going on here. The family of John McCain announced he was a discontinuing medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer in this state in twenty eighteen. He died the next day, twenty nine. Let's see anything else birthdays Mason Williams. He mentioned Marshall Thompson,
who was in the shylights out of Chicago's eighty two. Today, WWE co founder Vince McMahon turned seventy nine, and Archer the Actress is seventy seven. Alexander McCall smith composer, Jean Michel, Jarre Jarrah, It's seventy six. Orson Scott Card, Let's see Kevin Dunn, former Arkansas governor, political commentator and Relaxium sleep pitch man. Mike Huckabee is sixty nine today. Actor writer
Stephen Fry Stephen Gutenberg has a birthday today. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Junior is sixty four, Marlee Martin fifty nine. Baseball Hall of Famer or Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller is fifty nine. It seems like years ago that Reggie Miller played in the NBA, and I guess it was, but only fifty nine.
That's enough. Listen.
Oh, Dave Chappelle's birthday today. Funny Man fifty one. Heavy birthday, Dave Chappelle. If it is your birthday, I hope it is the best day possible and you get to spend it doing the things you love with people that you love to be around. And that is truly my for you. We have sports and a check on the weather. In just moments or two, Mama Tree is already in the queue. Dick from Dayton will be here before the top of the hour. This is the Saturday morning edition on seven hundred WLW.
This morning at nine, Mike Allen goes where other hosts dare not tread and on not talking about the men's room on seven hundred WLW, Ohio.
Ready for some quick mental health facts.
Let's just me caught me in the middle of breakfast. Your forecast hot and humid, little to no rain. I mean for days and days, mostly Sunday today, a high in your ninety mostly clear overnight. Tomorrow morning's low sixty seven for Sunday, sun and clouds, a chance for some pop up showers and storms.
Again, this is not going to be the relief we need, but enjoy the heat.
Seven hundred WLW Sports, fresh off of his inaugural broadcast of the Danville Admirals is at the correct term.
Liam eleven time state champion Danville Admirals correct.
On a station called whir Liam, was you know my first radio station, Liam? My first pay job was at a station called WHIN in Gallatin, Tennessee. So you're on whir and I think the call letters play a vital role in the rest of your career. So one day, some forty years from now, you'll be sitting here talking to another breaking in kind of young producer on a Saturday morning show, wondering where the hell the time went?
Can't you wait for that? Forty years? Yeah? Forty years? Who I know. It's hard to even comprehend, isn't it.
It's hard to It's hard to comprehend how the Reds can get within a couple of games of five hundred, then go and display some offense north of the border and come back to play the flailing Pittsburgh Pirates who were in a tail spin of all tail spins, and get drubbed two games in a row like they did last night.
Wednesday night, you're down six to nothing, you come back score eleven straight amazing to win the game. And last night the opposite happened. The Reds were up five to nothing going into the fifth inning, and they were down down one going into the seventh inning, and they weren't able to get another run across. The Reds fell to the Pirates six to five. They moved to sixty two
and sixty seven on the year. They're now seven and a half games out of a wild card spot and just a half a game above the Pirates for last place in the division. Cincinnati plays game three of the team's four game set versus the Pirates this evening. Jake Woodford takes a mount for the Pirates, and most likely Julian Aguilar will pitch for the Reds. Inside pitch begins at five to forty. First pitch e set for six to forty. Catch all Tonight's action on the home of the Reds seven hundred WLW.
Preseason fake football is over officially, the Bengals now pointing toward the regular season home oh, the start against the New England Patriots at pay Corpse Stadium, which is coming up in a couple of weeks.
What do you think?
Yeah, well, final cutdown day is Tuesday, and the Bengals made some cuts. Early cuts included the set, including the former second round pick Jackson Carmen, which there's a lot of question marks around him going into camp and I guess his performance at camp did not get the job done.
Yeah, what about what about James Burton? That guy has just really impressed during the preseason yeah, Jermaine Burton.
I mean, he's having twenty yards of catch nearly and his stats are amazing. But there's been a lot of questions about Supposedly, during the broadcast on Amazon, they said he slept during meetings. I don't know if they meant about in college, because there was always character concerns about him and his postgame comments. He was talking about how he needs to be better for the team. I was
plays don't really matter. So it's kind of interesting to see how he views himself and he'll be viewed on the roster because there's a lot of talent in the wide receiver room and he is a very talented player.
But well, you know, if Jamar wants to continue this nonsense, I think Jermaine Burton is is a great He's not gonna take up his slack. But it's nice to have another tool in the toolbox, you know what I mean?
Oh yeah, definitely. The talent's there. You can never have too much talent. What have we got on the FC Cincinnati front brother The Orange and Blue travel to Florida to night to take on the Eastern Conference leader enter Miami.

The haunting strains of Charlie dor from somewhere in the deep, dark, distant past. Here's our own pilot of the airwaves, Rick Washburn, Good Morning Old Radio.
Rick, Good morning Gary, Jeff. I am confused. Wasn't that a song from somebody else, some interesting redo, or was that.
Charlie Door was the original artist on Pilot of the Airwaves.
Okay, who redid it?
Then?
I have no idea, it's not important. That was the hit. That was the hit? That was it?
Oh that's fantastic.
Yeah.
Just remind me when I worked a car dealership many years ago and they were playing Turn the Page by Bob Seeker on the radio as we who what old guy redid that Metolka song?
It's like, no, yeah, you know what. You deal with kids and you got to use kid gloves. So anyway, how are you receiving this this morning? What are you receiving us on? And tell me all about the device if you will, sir.
I love this thing. This is from nineteen forty seven. It is a Sears Silver Tone model seven oh eighty five and it is bringing in WLW five by five this morning. This is an eight tube AM radio with a seven eight rpm phonograph and a wire recorder.
A wire recorder.
Yes, it's similar to a reel to reel tape deck, but instead of using magnetic tape, it uses a roll of steel wire.
Now, these were prominent. These were prominent earlier on forty seven. Kind of hadn't we really established the reel to reel as the format to record things by nineteen forty seven.
Forty seven and forty eight were kind of the years where both were out. The wire recorder did come first, and then when somebody designed the tape, the magnetic tape it it was an improvement in many ways, but it also had some issues, like the quality of the tape at the time because good plastic wasn't available. A lot of the tape was actually paper based. Oddly enough. Yeah, and whereas the wire was it had a it had a much better fidelity to it. Actually, it does have
a very crisp, clean sound. However, it's very difficult to use excuse me, because the head that read that records and plays back the sound is like a sewing machine bobbin winder. It goes up and down to wind the wire easily. So the wire is very thin and it has to be wound evenly otherwise it gets tangled up much. You've been through the world of splicing blocks and spicing tape unreeled real tape. Well, the with the with the wire recorder is much easier. You just tie a square knot.
It wasn't it seems to me like I recall that the Hindenberg disaster was actually recorded on a wire recorder and.
Not absolutely correct. Yes, yeah, in a in a portable wire recorder that only took three suitcases weighing a total of one eighty five pounds, if memory serve well at least. Yeah, Well, it was actually one of the very first times that somebody had gone out in the field to record a live you know, play by play on actual news events that they could then take back to the radio station. You're exactly right. Yeah, so it proved the idea that
they could go back and play it again. But yeah, the equipment wasn't really that practical.
So tell me, do you got anything else to say about this lovely serious silvertone radio that you're listening on this morning?
Or Goldberg would have been proud of this, because you've got the radio on one side. It's a it's a table top model, but it's huge, and the top lifts up like you would expect, like a record player would do.
But the thing is you can put the wire on the spindle and thread it, and the take up reel for the wire recorder is also the platter that you would put the record on, So You could record a record onto wire if you want to, but you've got to wind the wire first, okay, and possibly a throwback to your history depending excuse me if you've ever used a magnet quarter real to real tape, Dick safety goggles were requirement. The wire recorder pretty much the same thing.
If you're not careful, you're either gonna lose an eye or lose a finger.
Well, you know, all in preserving something for posterity, I guess you have to. You have to make sacrifices. Right close, kid, This recording cost me my left eye, but it's gorgeous.

Next to at iud by the way right.
There in the yeah, oh yes, I forgot about that. Democrats have never been accused of having good taste, and they never disappoint. And when they trot out Master Sergeant Tim Walls from behind the curtain and he tries to do his impression of Johnny Carson making a grand entrance in citing his Nebraska roots, you really have to wonder if Minnesota hasn't matriculated from radical Muslim caliphate to just
plain insane asylum. Minnesota Fats thought he'd bring his down Ham flavor to the proceedings, knocking the fact that his vice presidential opponent, JD. Vance went to an Ivy League law school, ignoring the fact that the Obamas and the clinton are also Ivy League lawyers. What the hell does that make you? Tim? JD proudly used the word hillbilly in his autobiography, We are now awaiting Minnesota fats bio
dumbass elegy. The more you see of horrible Harris and Fats, the more you sympathize with Hunter Biden being the main subject in that secret Service probe of cocaine found in the White House. Remember that all the usual suspects were right there at the DNC in Chicago. Come on, cops,
arrest somebody. Ah. Yes, the Windy City where terrorists burned the American flag twice and tore down barricades, But the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania passed over for the Aryan VP Nod feels right at home, addressing the convention as if nothing happened. How much did they pay you, Josh thirty
pieces of silver for betraying two countries? They should take this show on the road and call it the Wizard of Washington, complete with the tin man president who has no heart or other functioning organ, the Minneapolis scarecrow who has no brain, the cowardly lion who turned his back on Israel, and the wicked witch of the West elevated to the front of the Looney line after sleeping her way.
To the top.
Joe Biden is still hanging on to the presidency, but one wonders, why, Ah, the hunter Biden pardons, you can't just hang your son and business partner out to dry enter wheeler dealer Tim Walls, who will wrangle a Congressional medal of honor for his service to his country. Clearly he may have saved the lives of his men whom he deserted, since they could now have a commander who actually gives a rats ass about them. Yeah, so give them a medal, Joe, and save the last five months
of your sterling tenure. Who rape or holly would? There was Oprah Winfrey, billionaire god and self described victim of all kinds of discrimination, principally against fat people. So how in the world did she become filthy rich in such a terrible country? The Democrat solution is to put her on the reparations list. Yes, we're only thirty five trillion
in debt, we could afford it. But wait, wait, since Commie Harris wants to soak the rich and take us back to the ninety percent top tax rate of the nineteen fifties, I say, Oprah, open up your wallet and give back as they say. You go, girlfriend, If sleazy makes you queasy, voting democrat ate easy check out. Bear County, Texas Sheriff Javier Salazar, who two years ago tore apart the Harris Biden team for its lack of control of the border. Well, it's amazing how things have improved there.
He was this week at the Unconvention, praising the border Czarina and condemning trump bad timing Javier. The Department of Homeland Security this week said its lost track of thirty thousand miners who crossed the border illegally and could well now be victims of human trafficking. Want to bet some of those kids are in your county, Bear County, that's San Antonio. You know, I'd say the over under on that one is maybe one thousand. Xavier. Joey Vado was
not at the unconvention. He was the last of the original Cincinnati Reds of eighteen sixty nine. After one hundred and fifty five years, fifty two knee surgeries and two titanium hips, the Canadian Transplant has called it quits. Excuse me, I'm sorry I went for clump there. Actually it was just seventeen years in the bigs, but every dog on one of them was as a Cincinnati Red. So I salute you, Joey, one of the few immigrants who did
it legally. You took the time to learn our language, a get a good job, and hopefully paid a crapload of taxes so we can now pay reparations to Oprah Winfrey.
I like that one too.
I got to repeat that no up here at Seabas for the stoners is that they are paying a lot more at the pot shops for weed than they imagined they would. I think we're all agreed that this is disgraceful.
Crashed down on the black market. Crackdown on the black market.
Is disgraceful, I say, especially when Tommie Harris is promising price controls.
Where the hell are they? I'm sorry I got excited there.
I should calm down.
On this.
Weeed, they say, that'll make you do that.
She has also bragged about being a pothead to appeal to that constituency, which shouldn't be too hard to do. But folks forget that it was her father who called her out on that, saying it gives the impression that all Jamaicans are high on dope. Well, you know what, Papa is a retired Marxist professor at Berkeley, to whom I say, Dad, wouldn't it be better for Jamaicans to
be called dopers than a bunch of commies. I mean, in the twentieth century alone, Marxist governments killed more than one hundred million of their own people, and pot didn't even come close to that. I'm just saying. And if I may end it with this, I know everybody's saying, well, you didn't mention OURFK. Well, I have mixed feelings about this. Ask Robert F. Kennedy Junior if he supports the Green New Deal, which was endorsed by Tommy Harrison twenty nineteen.
If he says yes, the bloom is off the rows. The cost of that estimated ridiculous policy is conservatively estimated at fifty three trillion dollars that would buck us up to about ninety trillion in debt ourfk's politics are in line with Bernie Sanders and always have been. Even if he endorses Trump, which of course he did, none of his supporters will really did you see all that math they were trying to pull out, you know, the states that you know Trump will get. Now his supporters aren't
gonna support Trump, you know, Gary Jeff. Once again the most famous factoid out of twenty twenty four, Robert F. Kennedy's dad was killed by a Palestinian terrorist in Los Angeles, California. Yeah, nobody ever mentions that except our FK Junior, and I salute him. Right in the middle of that campaign he said, I am four square behind Israel, and he is one person who has said it who might be telling the truth. God bless you, our FK Senior. I gotta go take care of yourself.
Gary Jeff, thank you. And you do have to be high to vote for Kamala Harris. You scaled the Jeff Walker and you're not and aren't you glad? Hello to the Pisqually brothers at the River camp in Patriot this morning, and hello to our next guest Science Mike the Science Minute as the Minutes tick away on a Saturday.
Yes, as a nightly scientist.
Surprising Bell binding me.
Good morning, Michael, what's going on?
Well, first, let me say different Daton. I'm proud of you for taking managerial counting. I'm never too old to learn, Dick.
It's continuing education for the Dixter.
Hey, guy, I just saw this unusualately, the the shrouded turret is back in the news. And what's interesting is the article, the scientific article at this is this topic is based on the actually came out in March of twenty twenty two, and I don't understand why it was took over two years to get out in the main public. But anyhow, we all know what the shroud at Turin is is the burial cloth of Jesus.
But the in the eighties they.
Did a study for carbon fourteen dating and they said, no, it was just around twelve the twelve hundred to thirteen hundred eighty that's when the shroud was, when it was created created. And the thing about carbon fourteen dating is the samples they took are on the size of the centimeter size and they actually have to destroy the samples. And what they've done Gary Jeff, is they actually took these samples of the cloth with which are made out of cellulose, which is cellulose is a is a a
sugar chain, it's a polymer. And think of a bowl of spaghetti. So you have these long chains and they're actually crystalline in nature where they're actually oriented in straight lines. And as it tell you, those gets older in time, these these chains break down and by the amount of degradation of the chain, you can actually tell the age of the cloth. So what they did they did is we'll call wide angle X ray scattering a study, and they showed that actually the cloth is is actually the.
Time of Jesus.
Is interesting how they went about the study. They took samples of the actual time of Jesus, no samples, and they took samples from when they said it was supposedly created. And their analysis is spot on as far as the aging and the beauty of it is. You could take this sample which is a millimeter in size, and it doesn't destroy the sample, so you can repeatedly study this sample. Anybody can do it, so as far as looking at the sample.
Itself, So two WoRDSS repeatable measurements, so it or three words rather consensus consensus isn't science. When people say the science is settled, as they did it with a shadow, the shroud of Tuhran in the nineteen eighties, they didn't know. They did not know, and and science is always progressing and that's the wonderful thing about it.
And the beauty of the study is that it's not only that the scattering it, it was by infraredial spectroscopy and rama, yeah, proven that it's two thousand years old.
So science isn't a consensus. Consensus is actually the opposite of science. So we don't know what we don't know, and when we think we know, we still don't know. Thank you so much, sir. It's eight twelve at seven hundred WLW.

This is let's go to love the new intros for our friend, brother Rick Green. That happens to be your cousin's band, Reunion of Souls. Rick, How about that?
Oh?
I love it, Garry.
You know, I think Daddy would love the song too, because he loves music.
No doubt, no doubt. Now that is h Eddie. What's his name, Hedges? Eddie has a blue ass on all right, all right?
Originally was a member of Blessed Union of Souls And now that's a Reunion of Souls and they're out now with that. And that's the official YouTube video audio. And that's gonna be our intro on Saturday mornings for our Bible Verse. We'd like to be positive wherever possible on this program.
One of the ways in which we do that is by offering the Word of God for your discernment, hope and positive in a world that's not that way. It's not hopeful, it's not positive, but we are because of the Word of God. So what do you have for us this morning, brother Rick?
Today Gary, we have John Chapter twenty, verse twenty nine.
DN.
Jesus told him, because you have seen me, you have believed bless are those who have not seen me yet believed.
Amen, Gary, I'm one of them.
I never seen him, but I know he's real. I know he exists. I know he's almighty. I know he's the Son of God.
It's all about faith. And you know what, I'll tie this in.
Also from the Book of John, John eight twenty four, Jesus warned the crowds. I told you that you would die in your sins. If you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins.
It's all about faith. Yeah, seen and unseen always.
Now, Gary, once you get a little taste in Jesus, I just personally don't understand.
You cannot believe. It's just beyond my comprehension. I'm agreed. I'm agreeing. And it doesn't mean that because you believe you're a perfect person, you're still a sinner. But that's why we need more Jesus.
Now, I Rick got a line of mess wrapped up in him. I'll be the first one to say it.
If I go, I give into that mess. Yep, you can't. All right?
All right, brother Rick, have a fantastic blessed weekend, and God bless you, thank you so much.

Anyway, I'm there yesterday. Guy walks in, never seen before, and I greet them like I greet anybody else.
Hey, how you doing?
What can I do for you?
And the orders of I guess was a beam on the rocks or something or Jim beam straight up and you know, got his drink. We're talking a little bit because it was kind of slow, so I had a chance to chat find out he's originally from Milford, but he's back in town visiting. He's been.
In Smyrna, Tennessee, near Nashville for the last thirty years. Oddly enough, this is the summer that marks my thirtieth year that I moved from Nashville up here. So we kind of did the the swap never met each other, but he went from here to Nashville. I went from Nashville to here about the same time. So we Todd, that's kind of kind of an interesting occurrence. And he's in Smyrna, Tennessee. And I know that my younger brother John is in Smyrna. He works at a bar restaurant
called Chappies. And I said, uh, you ever go to Chappi's. He goes yeah. I said, well, you have to say hi to my brother if you're in Chappies in Smyrna, Tennessee.
His name's John. He said, you're John from Chappie's. Brother.
It's the first time in a long time that Gary Jeff Walker hasn't been the big famous person in the conversation. It was my brother John, who works as a cook and a server at Chappie's and has been there for a while. So we're talking and marveling at the small world status of our conversation and how wild it is. And then there are all kinds of other little parallels we never met. His name is Greg Jones, and he's back in town for a little while. He's a songwriter.
Imagine that a songwriter lives in Nashville, went to Belmont College. He's written a number of songs on the new Cody Jenks album. If you're a country fan, you know who Cody Jenks is, and a hit or two for Cody, and he's had a couple of other hits as a songwriter. And it was just a great chance meeting. He knew my brother Johnny, which I thought was just amazing. So shout out to Greg Jones if he's listening today, thanks for stumbling into the bar and hopefully we see each
other again soon. Mo Egger's coming up Gifts from a Wally and more. It's eight twenty six at seven hundred WLW.

Good Morning Kids, Time for gifts from Wally Let's set sail One fine day, Brave Captain Smith and his crew of sailors are sailing the ocean blues. Suddenly on the horizon there looms a ship with a skull and crossbones raised on the mass. The crew's frantic seeking refuge and asking the captain what they should do. Brave Captain Smith looked at the approaching ship for a moment and said, bring me my red shirt. The call was taken up
at once by a cabin boy. As soon as Captain Smith had the shirt in his possession, he ordered the men at the wheel to head straight for the pirate ship.
In the ensuing fight, the pirate ship was all but destroyed. The sailors afterward recounting their individual triumphs. Afterwards, when someone asked Captain Smith why he had asked for his red shirt before the battle, he responded, if I was wounded and bleeding, I did not want your confidence to weigh that way. You would keep fighting no matter what happened to me. The crew had a new found respect for the captain, and they talked all night about his bravery
and his red shirt. About a week later, there loomed a horizon of ten pirate ships. Once again, the crew looked to its captain for leadership. Calmly brave, Captain Smith told the cabin boy boy, bring me my brown pants.

Every really had plan. Okay, everybody know where I stand in and all my friends I see the same kind of crazy as man.
That's Cody Jinks and the same kind of crazy written by my new friend Greg Jones from Nashville joining us to talk sports in there is you know, it's the convergence of all of these wonderful times of the year right now today with football and baseball and high school.
Football and everything else going on. Moeggers here to discuss much of that. Hey, Mo, what's going on?
What's up?
How are we doing good? I saw that Shohei.
Otani became a member of the forty to forty club as a Los Angeles Dodger, and I always was betting.
On him to do that.
With a walkoffrand slam.
Yes, a walkoff grand slam, Steele.
I mean, we talk all the time about the potential and the great talents of La Dela Cruz, and those are there too. I mean, he's what the third player since I don't know how long, or one of the first five players. I can't remember all the stats with La because he's setting so many records in the middle of this mediocre season for the Reds and sometimes wishy
washing for him. But you know, to have to have twenty home runs and sixty steels and all of that in the company of the great Rickey Henderson and others. But shoe Atani is just I mean is there is there a bigger superstar in Major League Baseball right now?
Aaron Judge would has something to say about that. I think definitely. You know, Bobby Wood Junior in Kansas City, who we saw last weekend, would have something to say about that. But as a general rule, no, he's he's must watch.
You know.
You know, back when Barry Bonds was at his at his absolute peak of his powers, a Barry Bonds at bad to me was something you stopped whatever you were doing to watch or if you were flipping around him he came to the plate, you watched, and shoe Hey Otani is similar.
You know.
He he hits the ball to all fields. It feels like he has no weakness at the plate. And by the way, he's not pitching this year, right, I mean, he's you know, he's the dual correct guy not pitching this year. He is awesome in every sense of the word. And you know, baseball being such a regional sport, a lot of folks don't pay very close attention to, you know,
players who aren't playing for their own team. I'm hopeful that Shoeo Tony gets the massive stage of the World Series because as many people need to see him as possible. He is awesome and by all accounts, an incredible teammate, a fun loving guy. And you know, very few things in sports live up to the hype. You and I have talked about this in regards to a number of different things. Yes, sooo, TONI came to the United States accompanied by a lot of hype and he somehow exceeded it.
Yeah, and you mentioned Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge looks like two guys. I mean, I've never seen somebody so huge at the plate in Major League Bay. It's just incredible. But and you know, we have to address just a couple of days down the road from the official announcement by Joey Vobb his retirement, which we have all seen coming maybe before Joey. But I just love his candor. I love the fact that he's just so honest when
he's talking about it. You know, I'm just not good anymore man to be able to do that, though.
You know, he's seventeen seasons with the Cincinnati Reds, a National League MVP, all the All Star selections, and you know, more than three hundred home runs, more than a thousand RBI, more than two thousand hits. He's in very select company himself.
Without questions, seven time on base percentage leader, and you know,
to me, there's two different things you addressed there. One is I always I always got excited when I saw that Joey Vado did a sit down with one of the local beat writers yp or was going to be on MLB Network, because you were going to get something good, and you were going to get something insightful, and you were gonna get something honest, and you were gonna get a glints into, you know, how seriously he took his craft, and you were gonna get to get a glint sometimes
in recent years into how frustrating it was for him to, you know, to turn the key and just not have
the engine come on. He did an interview yesterday with Dan Patrick where he outlined and described the moment where he realized I'm done when you know, he's playing for the Buffalo Bisons the other night and the manager says, hey, you haven't at back coming up, and he said, I don't want it and sat there on the bench next to his childhood hero, Devon White, is now a coach with the team that he was playing on, and Devon
White says to him, what are you gonna do? And I think he was referring to, you know, maybe adjustments he was going to make in a swing, and Joey says nothing, and he goes there was this full circle moment where here was this guy that I revered as a kid, and I'm now sitting next to him, And as I'm sitting next to him, I hit the realization that I'm done and I can't do this anymore. I'm washed. And so you always got really good, thorough, deep, honest answers.
And then as a player, you know, unfortunately he's the best Reds player to not really be identified with team success because they just simply weren't that good all that often while he was here. But on the occasions where he was on the Reds and they were good, he was the main reason why that twenty ten team, which is my favorite Reds team of all time, that surprised
a lot of people and won ninety games. Joey was the MVP that year, and he was he was awesome, and if you recall, initially didn't make the All Star team and still won the MVP, which is remarkable. And then when they were bad and they were often bad. He was one of the only reasons to watch. And if you look at his CARETCH twenty fifteen, sixteen seventeen, he finished in the top seven of the MVP voting in each of those seasons. He finished in the top five of the MVP voting in two of those seasons,
and they lost ninety four more games every year. In many respects, they wasted his best seasons, but he at
least gave you a reason to still watch. And you know, he's always been a real kind of interesting guy because he was at the epicenter of, you know, maybe eight nine years ago, what was a real interesting debate in baseball, you know, where we had kind of reached an intersection of older ways of evaluating players and measuring them statistically, and in some of those cases, you know, Joey for
some was a little bit disappointing. And then newer methods of evaluating players were on base percentages valued a little bit more, and not making outs is valued a little bit more. In that regard, Joey had no peer, you know, as I mentioned, led the league on base percentage seven times, and I think that's going to be what thrusts him in the Coopers Town. He checks a lot of boxes.
MVP cold Glove, you know, finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting in two thousand and eight, and frankly, he was robbed six All Star teams, three hundred and fifty four home runs. You know, the shame of his last two years in Cincinnati was his performances were so poor that it dipped his career batting average below three hundred.
But still two ninety four is awesome. But I think what's going to carry him to Cooper's Town is that the people who are voting by the time he's on the ballot will really really value on base percentage and when you have are in the sort of company he is in terms of guys who led the league and that statistic as many times as he did, there are going to be a lot of people, I think over
seventy five percent who check his box. And he's going to be in the Hall of Fame and his induction speech will be awesome.
You do sports here in Cincinnati for a living, MO and high school football, and we've talked about just how special high school football is anywhere around the country where you know you've got a lot of teams playing a lot of allegiances and a lot of you know, legacies. You know that the Elder, the Molers, the Highlands and all the cuvcafs and all of those things. But so is there a certain buzz about high school football that doesn't exist in other sports that you cover around here?
Yeah, you know, I was watching last night And this is no discredit to the other television stations in town, but I was watching the Fox nineteen final quarter last night as they had camera crews and reporters that I think twenty one or twenty two different games, and it's really fun to watch. And I think all the TV stations do a good job of this, but it's really fun to watch them kind of zip around and cover so many teams, so many games, tell the stories of
so many athletes. It's a lot of fun. And I think what gave this year's opening in the college football or the high school football season a little extra punch was the resumption of the Molar Princeton rivalry, which you know, if you go back in the day, was just such a great rivalry with you know, Jerry Fows and Steve Clowne and yeah, and and UH coach man q soot at Princeton And there's a terrific film that was made a few years ago by a filmmaker named Branson Wright
who produced him thirty for thirties for ESPN, and he did a terrific film about the history of the Molar Princeton rivalry. And it resumed last night. Moller won the game that I think gave that the season a little extra punch. And look, man, I live on the West side of Cincinnati, so when high school football season gets underway, you know, all commerce stops here because of because of Elder.
But yeah, it's it's different, it's unique, it's a lot of fun, and uh, it's we don't talk about it nearly as much on on on sports talk radio because it's it's just kind of hard. But it is a unique slice of life in Cincinnati that you know. Obviously, high school football is big in a lot of places, but the way it's talked about, the way it's covered in a major league town, I think is pretty cool.
Much Football Week zero, What game are you looking at today that really piques your interest?
Florida State and Georgia Tech. You know, Florida State obviously was the team that was on the outside looking into the College Football Playoff last year. This is a season unlike any other because of obviously the expanded postseason field. It's a conference game in August in Week zero, which we typically don't get. So I'm really looking forward to watching that. I'm really looking forward to just seeing how the expansion of the college football Playoff impacts how we
talk about the regular season. And in some respects, it's gonna be great because you're going to have teams that might slip up early that don't have to worry about their national championship hopes going out the window. But you're also going to have some teams that you know, you know. In recent years, we've talked a lot about how well, geez, you can pencil in Alabama, or you could pencil in Georgia, or in some years you can pencil in Ohio State
to make a fourteen college football playoffs. Well, do you mean to tell me that either Georgia or Ohio State's going to slip out of the top twelve? And so I think the meaningfulness of some of those games is going to take a hit. But you're going to have more fans who feel like their team has access to the tournament, to the national Championship, and I think as a whole that's really really good. And I think Florida State, you know, based on what I read, they expect to be a part of that mix.
There's one player fighting for a roster spot this weekend on yours, Cincinnati Bengals, that I am rooting for to make the club. And it's just because he has been a lone, shining offensive weapon that we may or may not see this Jermaine Burton.
Your comments on.
Jermaine Burton, Samay, Burton's had a really interesting last few weeks because when he's been on the field, he's been terrific. But when he's been on the field, he's been playing against guys that, you know, frankly, are probably not going to be NFL players. And so what has stood out has been when he has entered the games, it's late, it's with the backups to the backups, and from an athletics standpoint, he should dominate those guys. Third round pick,
played at Alabama, played at Georgia. He should be dominating those guys. But you know, as somebody said to me last week, follow the reps, well, Jermaine Burton hasn't been getting first or second team reps. And the reason for that is Number one, they have a lot of depth at wide receiver.
Yeah.
Number two, you know when Joe Burrow says after Jermaine Burton's first NFL preseason game, he's got to get his head in the playbook, what does that tell you? Tells you the quarterback really doesn't trust him. Al Michaels and Chris and A kirkurb Street the other night on the TV broadcast animated that maybe Jermaine Burton isn't from a maturity standpoint, what the Bengals want him to be right now.
And so here's the beauty of it. Jermaine Burton's going to play for the Bengals, and and there's a lot to like about him, but they're not desperate enough to put a guy on the field that maybe hasn't earned the quarterbacks draft, or maybe isn't doing the things in the meeting rooms or off the field that they need him to. And the cool thing is he's got a lot of guys above him on the depth chart that if he follows their example, follows their lead, has a
chance to get it. And if he does, you saw the physical profile, you saw the speed, you saw the explosive this saw the ability to go get the football. And so I think his long term upside is really immense and the short term feels like there's some stuff that he has to figure out in terms of, you know, how to be a pro that I hope he does because we all know physically what he can do.
Yeah, no doubt about it. We have a fantastic weekend.
Thank you, my friend Mike Allen counselor Saturday midday, just ahead, get the microphone up there and got you buddy. So you really enjoyed watching Kamala Harris, I get.
I mean it was just spellbinding.
Nah.
But the truth of the matter is, as I mentioned to you, I can watch that woman. I can't know.
I can't listen to her. She's just there is not an ounce of sincerity in her bones. She's not genuine. I can't do it now I talk about it. So I did read the transcript. I can't listen to her, so that overrides the fact that she may or may not be a cackling COMI ho.
Well that yeah, that too. I mean at the bottom line is I never did like her. I don't think I ever will.
There's nothing authentic about, nothing real about any of that. Nothing Jim Waltz, the assistant coach. Oh that guy, that's all Tim. Uh what did he say? Socialism is another person's neighbor leader.
Yes, nice. Tell that to the people in Cuba that suffered under Castle. Tell that to the people in Cuba right now where seniors are receiving ten dollars a month for pension. I saw that. Yeah, that'll go far. Yeah, a fantastic show, Mike Allen, Saturday Midday. I know you got a bunch of great people on. I got to run after the show, show at Huddles and we'll see you there. Celebrate Labor Day weekend this year with a bag
