  Speaker 2: There we are.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: What I was thinking it would start the show, although
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: tradition requires us to play at least some part of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Anama followed by the Vince Garraldi trio. It is the
• 0:50

  Speaker 1: a Rob Ryder, who will be in studio in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: six o'clock hour, for spending the rest of the time
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in studio here and playing his guitar and singing some
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Christmas carols and tunes and welcome in calls this morning.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: If you have a Christmas wish, you'd like to say
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: something about the holiday season, generally not to overlook my
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Jewish friends. Happy honeka to you. So we'll call this
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a holiday special. Call it what you want. Trying to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: have some fun and games in the last work day
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for me of calendar year twenty twenty five, looking forward
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to finishing out nineteen years and starting my twentieth and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: year radio next year. Man, I just just thinking about
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: how fast time has flown, and it's really mind boggling,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just mind blowing. Five one three seven, four hundred eight
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: just say, you know, since again this is my last day,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do best of programming. That'd be Christmas Eve,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Christmas Day, that day after Christmas, so repeats of prior interviews, conversations,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: et cetera. And I always any kind of funny, you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I someone will send me an email. I won't be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in the studio, but when I come back and log
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: into the email, program would be put people to email,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know, talking about what's what I'm talking about in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this recorded interview and asking me to ask the person
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the recorded interview questions real time. That stuff is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a recorded interview, so you get the concept. But always
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I always find humor in that. Kevin Gordon's going to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: be covering for me on the twenty ninth and the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: thirtieth and then on Christmas or on Neear's Eve in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ne Year's Day. We got best of again because everybody's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: taken off. So thank you Kevin Gordon in advanced for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: taking care of the twenty ninth and thirtieth. So five one, three, seven,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: talk or pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: If you'd like to call wish somebody happy, or Merry
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Christmas or happy hon a card listen. I don't care
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what you celebrate, as long as you celebrate and don't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: be a jerk. Let's start with that one you ready
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Christmas theme, We'll call this person Lord Almighty. After yesterday's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: need of the dump button, I'm a little worried that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I can even say anything out loud. I violated the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: rule for the first time in nineteen years in radio. Anyhow,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: going back to my dad, he did it a bunch
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of times over here his cran radio, so I didn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: feel necessarily as bad, but I was trying to make
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it a perfect record. When I retire, I wanted to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: look back and say I never needed to use the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: dump button to save me from the FCC. Well, okay,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I broke that yesterday. Anyway. British supermarket place called Sainsbury's.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of like a Kroger or a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Publix or a Meyer or whatever. You get the idea
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of supermarket pulling what many believed to be a humorous
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Christmas card from its shelves. Why one single human being
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: claimed that it was transphobic. One It was a Doctor
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Seus's themed Christmas card featuring the Grinch character, with the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: caption this Christmas I'm identifying as a Grinch. Oh my god,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm so blown away. I can't believe it. Oh my god,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm offended here. Let me curl up in a ball.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The one singular described as transgender journalist. Journalist is in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: quotes too, which makes me think that that would be
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a person with access to the Internet who posts stuff
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: which is you know, honestly arguably journalism. Sophie Molly, this
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: transgender quote unquote journalist start complaining on some web some site.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care, it's called blue cry whatever. After spotting
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the card in the supermarket, writing transphobic Christmas card in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: my local Sainsbury's, please do better Sainsbury's in letter remarks
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to an organization called Pink News. Yep, certainly, she said.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The card belittles the identity of trans and non binary people,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: saying trans people don't choose to identify as their gender.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It's part of who they are and being trans is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not a choice. The Grinch is a made a made
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: up character. You can't be a grinch. Well, although in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a world full of furries where people go around and think,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I guess that they're animals of some sort, do they
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: really believe their animals or they just like dressing up
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: as them. Have they taken on the identity of, say,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a poppy or a horse or a blanket unicorn. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: really don't think so, So let's knock it down that road.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Let's just realize the Grinch is a fiction made up
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: by doctor Seuss. She went on sis people saying that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I identify as something like a tomato and attack helicopter
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: or a grinch invalidates the lived experience of trans people.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It tells the world that they think it's a choice
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to be trans, something you can switch in and out of,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a little like playing dress up. This is not true.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Well wait a second, and credit to the Steve Watson
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: at Modernity News for making this parallel and seeing right
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: through that nonsense from this whining transgender quote unquote journalist.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: We'll call her a Karen. Apparently, lived experience tells the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: world they think that it's a choice to be trans. Well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: as the author points out, no Wait a minute, isn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that what gender fluid means.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: There's a certain.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Fluidity about it. Today I feel a little more heterosexual
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: than homosexual, and today I feel a little bit more
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like a woman and a man. Just don't do label me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Don't you tell me what I can think of, what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I can believe that's gender fluid? Right? Okay, points out
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: after all, you make the rules literally making them up
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: as you go along. She also added quote being trans
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or non bine area is something you can switch You
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: can't switch or being trans or non binaria is not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: something you can switch off of the same way a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: SIS person can't switch off being cis. When you consider
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the current UK climate of trans hostility, I feel that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's a worrying site. There's that word again, it's a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: blanken Christmas card. I feel it's a worrying site only
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: because you choose to feel badly about a joke. Lighten up, Francis.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It gets worse. It's not just this one single transgender
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: quote unquote journalist. One single person raises this to people's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: attention through posting this complaint on social media, and what happens.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Apparently a one named Genie rut Or the creative director.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I guess at the cards publisher emotional rescues the name
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of the publisher. She's the creative director there. Speaking again
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: with Pink News, it was in no way our intention
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to cause anyone in the trans community offense. We were
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to move this design from our range immediately.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't your intention to cause anyone in the community offense.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You didn't believe it did it was even offensive. It's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a subjective creation of offense. There is no legitimate objective
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: offense there. It's merely one subjective determination that Oh my god,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I feel that it's a worrying site. Nick Okay. Moving
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: over to the operations director at Paper Salad. Apparently the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that created the illustration of the little Grinch character. In
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: other words, did the cartoon. Jack Wilson quote, due to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: our contribution to the card, I'd like to apologize on
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: behalf of Paper Slid for any offense caused. It was
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: not our intention. Here we go again, and we've removed
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the design from sale and destroyed all stock with immediate effect. Again,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you went ahead and published this and you did the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: illustration for this card because you, in your wildest dreams,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: couldn't imagine that there was someone out there like Sophie Mali,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the transgender quote unquote journalists who would get all offensive
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and actually get traction enough to get other people to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: capitulate on this one, including a grocery store.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: At sainsbury Is, we are committed to being an inclusive
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: or a retailer where people love to work and shop.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We offer a wide selection of Christmas cards, and our
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: ranges vary each year, so there's something for everyone. Except
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this card, which was something for people who got a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: kick out of it and thought it was funny to say,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to identify as a grinch this year. So
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you can't have that kind of card, but you can
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: have another card, I guess, and I suppose it probably
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: transgender coming out cards where you know, you have a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: guy wants to be a woman and there's a card
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: celebrating the you know, it's like the reveal party for birthdays?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Right now? Would that be offensive if I were to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: express offense over it? And no, I never would because
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I truly do not care. You be
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: who you want to be as long as your lived
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: experience doesn't collide with my personal lived experience and we
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: can live next to each other in peace and harmony
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and freedom in liberty.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not transphobic. I'm just logical reasonable, and I hate
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: this kind of thing that goes on where one single
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: human being can utter a single voice of his scent
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and have such a profound effect on so many people.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: It's bat crap, insanity, plain and simple. Merry Christmas eight
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: hundred eighty two to three Talk fifty on eight and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: T photo got some really hilarious holiday traditions from around
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the world. I mean weird, yeah, very maybe not as
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: weird as that particular arm talk station about twenty one
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: fifty five kr CD talk station dusted off the old
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Vinscaralti trio for bumber music this morning. Certainly my approved
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Christmas music. Just Tracker approves of it too. But you're
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: not going to get any trans Siberian orchestra. So if
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you're waiting around for that to happen, Joe not a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: big fan. I think that's a gross understatement too. Are
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you ready? Catalonia is pooping log Christmas traditions, and you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: know you laugh at these, you think how backcrap and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: sane they are. We have Easter bunny. I've never been
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: able to figure that one out. I've read stories, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't make any sense to me that you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: have an animated bunny that runs around and provides you
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: with eggs because of Easter. Yeah, I know, try to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: reconcile that will go ahead. Let's turn over to Catalonia.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Is pooping log to d nadal, which I guess translates
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to pooping log described as a beloved cattle in custom,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it's a wooden log decorated with a face that is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: fed treats throughout December and kept warm under a blanket.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: If that's not weird enough, Apparently, on Christmas Eve, children
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: beat the log with sticks and saying traditional songs to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: coach into pooping candy and gifts. I guess the candy
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and gifts that they've been stuffing into the mouth of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the log only to have them come out. Okay, that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Christmas tradition. No real explanation in the article about how
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we arrived at the pooping log moving over to Iceland.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: That may be it, Joe, he check the legality status
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of weed and Catalonian see if maybe that's where it
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: came from. Over to Iceland, the mythical Yule cat, which
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: they say prows the snowy countryside looking for anyone who
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: hasn't received new clothes before Christmas. Legend has it workers
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: who finished processing the autumn wool before Christmas would receive
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: new garments as a reward. Failing to do that, the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yule cat would eat them up. What yep? Casting a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: paul over in otherwise uplifting holiday, I would say, over
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to Italy, Befana the roomstick writing, which delivers candy and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: presents to children not on the twenty fifth, but on
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: January fifth, which is Epiphany Eve. They say, I'm reading it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of Epiphany Eve. You know? Then, no
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: theologian of my legend has it. She missed the birth
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of Jesus and had been searching for him ever since,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: leaving treats for kids as an apology. Especially popular in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: southern Italy, where she's celebrated with warmth and humor. Her
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: grandmotherly image and unconventional story make her a standout in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the holiday well stories that we're going through here. There
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you go, how do you pronounce l w wyde? Wide?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm going with, Mary Wide. This will be
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Wales's singing horse Skull What I know Barried Wide a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: century's old tradition featuring a horse skull dressed up with
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: ribbons and mounted on a pole, comedy by groups of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: singers and performers. Mary Wide's visit visit homes, pub pubs.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Of course, she visits pubs and other gathering places, challenging
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: those inside what is described as a humorous and clever
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: rhyming competition, described as similar to a rap battle. Goal
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to win entry into the house and to be welcome
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with food, drinks and merriment. Also, Mary Mary Wide's a leecher.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It says the origins of this this creature pre date Christmas,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: but in Wales it's a beloved tradition now intricately linked
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to Christmas. Also decided, he describes the reason Jewish families
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: quite often chout down on Chinese food during Christmas Day.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I did not know that until I saw the Christmas
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Story and there was Oh no, it was one of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: those my favorite year. There was a comment about one
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: thing that Jews knows, suffering in good Chinese food. My
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Jewish friends probably laughing about that. If you've remember seeing
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that movie. Tradition goes back to early twentieth century, when
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Jewish and Chinese immigrants were often neighbors in urban areas.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: The Chinese restaurants were probably the only places open on Christmas,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so they became kind of a natural gathering spot for
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Jews who had nowhere else to go given that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Christians restaurants and places to eat were closed. So
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: people in Caracas, Venezuela celebrate Christmas morning skating. Please do
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: not tell aftab pervol about this idea is going to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: shut down the roads and make us all don skates.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: The answer to the problem of congested roadways on a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: day where everyone's trying to get to early morning masks,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the streets are closed to cars and people done roller
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: skates to get to church. Over to Japan, this is
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: an odd one. Japan Christmas Dinner is all about Kentucky
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Fried Chicken. I guess every December, millions of Japanese families
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: line up for KFC, they say, a tradition that started
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: in a nineteen seventies marketing campaign called Kentucky for Christmas.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: JFC Global nearly says nearly a third of the Chang's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: annual sales in Japan come in December what third of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the whole year's sales. And finally, of course San Francisco
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: being weird and screwing it up for everybody. As this tradition,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the actual annual Santa Con event, Santa Is from all
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: over enjoy a day of merriment, acting and pretending to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: be Santa Claus. However, in San Francisco, you know things
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: are gonna go into a blue, strange, bizarre way because
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: now some of the Santas show up completely nude. How
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in the hell can you be Santa Claus when you're
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: completely nude? Aren't you defined by the red suit and
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the belt in the boots? So you have a bunch
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of naked guys, probably with white beards. That's a naked
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: white beard guy convention. That's not Santa Claus. This is
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: me editorializing, but this is done. It says naked Senna
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: has become an iconic part of the city's holiday lore,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: perfectly capturing San Francisco's playful spirit and pension for pushing boundaries, yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and rendering the event impossible for young children to go through.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: That is, if they have parents who really care about
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: what is appropriate and inappropriate five point twenty seven right now.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I've got three seven, four, nine fifty eight two three
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones, local stories,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: phone calls, prever the ladder. But I do have a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: stack of stupid on top of it. There's the rest
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of the five o'clock hour. I'll be right back. Think
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: about Kese detalxation five thirty two. Heads up, I'm getting
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: ready to jump over to the phone. It's got a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: couple of callers online. If you for people who typically
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: send me information via email or Facebook instant message during
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the morning show. Our internet's down. We're not even gonna
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: have traffic. Really, there is some office out in the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: remote reaches of the United States of America that is
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: responsible for iHeartMedia internet connection here in the city of Cincinnati,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: much like Chuck Ingram does traffic for multiple cities across
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: this great land of ours. He can't do traffic because
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: he has no Internet. So I think the fact that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Chuck Ingram is without Internet and that all these other
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: stations won't beginning their traffic reports suggests to me in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: an efficient operation, Joe Strecker, what is your take? It'll
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: probably be fixed quicker than if Joe Strecker merely complained
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: by himself at least by eight point thirty. That's Joe's prediction.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the funds. Tom hold On Pat was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: first pat. Welcome to the morning show, and a Merry
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Christmas to you all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Same to you, Brian. This business with mister Jones and
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: the hepatitis thing, there's a doctor who was on was
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: either on your channel or down the dial, but he
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: is a doctor that goes to clinics and off or
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: his services. He just happened to get mister Jones hands
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: which was extremely swollen, and apparently whatever the bacteria that
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: was then missed that lady's mouth because they said they
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: found one tooth in her stomach and one tooth on
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: the floor. He said that he treated this man and
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: he said the bacteria apparently it does match whatever that
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: lady had in her mouth.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that'd be previously reported. The weird thing
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is that our local corner Somarco said that this person
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: did not have hepatitis be anyway when she died. That's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the most recent So for folks wondering who in the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: hell is she talking about, it's Elwood Jones, who hemon
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: County prosecutor Contie pill has just announced that she was
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: dismissing the murder case against them. He'd been convicted, went
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: up through all the appeals in the state, winner the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: federal court, went up through all the appellate level, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: every time they said guilty on a reasonable doubt, they
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: upheld the conviction. So it was remanded because of some documents,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and Connie Pillage dropped the case against Elwood Jones after
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he'd spent thirty years in prison with overwhelming evidence of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: his guild. One of the evidence, one of the pieces
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of evidence was, and this is the basis for Connie
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Pillach's decision or to dismiss the case, that he did
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: not have hepatitis B. They said the victim had hepatitis B,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and since he beat her to death with his fist,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: he would have had it. Well. Somarco said she didn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have hepatitis BE in the first place, So why in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the hell was this ever an issue at the trial level.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: According to lawyers for the defendant, now released Elwood Jones,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: she was looking at the wrong document. Jones attorney gave
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a copy of what they say was Nathan's lab report,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: which said she tested positive for hap B. The report
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: does not feature Nathan's name, got an ID number matching
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the number on Nathan's autopsy. Meanwhile, the copy of the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: report given to the local news by the coroner's office
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: does not have that same ID number. Their attorney says
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it's the wrong document and it ended up in the file.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: We are left with a mystery on our hands, a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: total mystery. But in so far as what you're saying,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that he had an infection on his hand consistent with
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the infection in her mouth, yeah, that was already part
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of the of the evidence at trial that the jurors
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: relied upon in finding him guilty. That's the way I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: read the record anyway, as reported by local news, upon
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: whom I must rely for these things because I don't
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: have a copy of the file. Appreciate the call, Pat Tom,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: You're next, don't go away, oder eggs that get rid
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of the stench of politics. Keep our fingers crossed. We
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: get that restored by forty. Sorry, Jeffrey. No, we're not
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: doing the bass rif we do on Friday, I can't
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: answer for a Friday's show. Probably not. And if you
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: sent me Facebook and some messages about that, as I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: pointed out a moment ago, didn't get a naked man
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: stack is stupid. But first, Tom, welcome to the Morning Show.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Thanks for holding over the break there, my friend, Marry
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to you and yours.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Oh likewise, good morning and in the spirit of all
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: the hate that you started the show off with, I
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Was in hate. Well, the woman in the article I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: would accuse of engaging in ridiculous behavior because she feels offended.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: But I don't think I was engaging in hate. I'm
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: sure at.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: Least one person. I'm sure at least one person can
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: identify as someone that had their feelings hurt by what
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: you said. So that that isn't that thereinition of hate?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough, it is.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: It is absolutely ridiculous. I identify as someone who will
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: be in the Caribbee in twenty four hours from right now,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: So I am definitely looking for I'm going to I
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: got to say see you next year to the first
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: person this year. So I checked out of the hotel
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: this morning. I am listening on the iHeartMedia app. So
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: if that internet thing is working, but whatever that means,
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: if that'll help. So, yeah, this whole transgender thing. It
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: just keeps recycling. And the whole idea here is we
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: want and this is the we, the people who are
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: pushing this. We want the ridiculous and stupidity to control everything.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: We want our feelings that could be here one day
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: and somewhere else the next day or the next minute,
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: We want that to control everything. In other words, we
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: want chaos, total chaos. They don't want any common sense
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: or reality to rule the day and to be the
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: underlying base that we all stand on. Now, we can't
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: have that. Everything has to be able to change. And
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: you got it right. Feelings is where it all boils
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: down to. These people's feelings matter more than reality. And
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: even when they tell you to believe the science, what
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: they're saying is someone with a scientific degree or a
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: title that seems scientific is willing to come out and
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: say what we agree to, So we're telling you to
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: believe that person, even though that may not be science.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's all. It's all stupid and ridiculous,
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: and it's not gonna go away anytime soon. So we
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: just got to keep telling its true, keep telling people
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: what they need to know, and and don't give in,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: don't be like those car people and give into that craft.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: That's that's exactly right. You want this to stop, Raise
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: your metaphorical middle finger and say, you know, I don't
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Call me what you want. You're gonna
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. I can't change that. But you
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: know what, you can't change me either.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: But they can. They know they can.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Good they can.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Enough public pressure they can.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: And that's that they can't change what we made this thing.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: That's what's allowed this to fester as much as it
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: has because people are weak and they give in and
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: they let these leftists get away with this garbage. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: we need to stop. Oh and by the way, the
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: other thing we need to do is don't vote democrats.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: I'm a great holiday Brian, and you too, Joe.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Safe travels, tom, Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: If I went three seven fifty five hunderd two three
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones, it's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: kind of like a Friday, but it's not. But since
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: it is last day of the week for me, why not?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Naked people in the stack are stupid? What's going on
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in Santa Maria?
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Leave?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: This is California. A naked Santa Maria man arrested on
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: suspicion of an attemptive tempted rape charge happened last Thursday
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: in pursuit with Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies from a
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: grocery store parking lot. Debuties responded to the part of
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the attempted raven progress ten pm at the Albersons grocery
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: store parking lot on Caylie Rudd. This according to Lieutenant
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Robin her speaking with local Newspunt. Rival deputies contacted the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: alleged victim who fought off the attacker before they arrived,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and saw the suspect, twenty eight year old Miguel Angel
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Hernandez Garcia, running from the area. Deputies established a perimeter
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: searts the surrounding units using a canine. Of course, they
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: located naked Hernandez Garcia hiding under a trash can behind Albertson's.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Hernandez Garcia booked into the Santa Barbara County, Maine jail
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: listed bail listed again not in front of Hamilton County
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Judge silver steet one million dollars naked guy running him up.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Got another story from that same area too, naked man
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: spotted walking around Santa Maria Tuesday morning. This is two
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: days prior Santa Maria police, firefighters and paramedics secured the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: naked guy walking around the Pallas store in town Center.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Police said the man wasn't able to identify himself. Taking
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a local hospital. That's all you get on that one.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I think drugs may have been involved in that one.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Five forty five fifty five KRC detalk station a strong, strong,
• 27:51

  Speaker 7: get Chuck Ingram over I seventy five and give live reports.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, those days long over. You know, you know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the expense associated with running a helicopter. They got rid
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of those a long, long, long, long time ago. Maybe
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: they get a drone. They could do that pretty inexpensively, apparently,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: as long as it's not a Chinese drone, because the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Trump I'm in at is now banning Chinese drones. Story
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to yet.
• 29:06

• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Five fifty three, I'd get chance for here. You can
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: obviously feel free to call this morning. Let's get one
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: more naked guy in a tradition. Well right, it is tradition,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: not Fort Christmas. Apparently, less you're in San Francisco at
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Santa Con then it will be a Christmas tradition. But
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: we'll go to Bay County, Florida for this one. Almost
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: eight pm on Monday, Panama City officers got to call
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: about a naked guy at the hobby lobby. Several customers
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: doing a little Christmas shopping inside the score when the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: unidentified man ran in. Witnesses said he took his clothes
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: off outside of a nearby dental office and that's when
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he ran into the hobby lobby. Man allegedly started getting
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: physical with employees, even grabbed a customer. She was a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: bit shaken up, accorded the witness Portie Mixing. All the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: employees ran to the back and I said, can I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: run back there with you? And they said yeah, come on,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: come on. I ran back there and they then he
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: came right back there after me. Then I ran to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the opposite side, and then he came in a circle
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: and ran right after me and grabbed me twice. She said.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: They pulled him back and then I said, oh my god,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: can somebody please get him? They said run, so I
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: ran out. Then he was like standing there in shock,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he came out and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: came at me again, and then all the employees yelled run, run, run,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and so I just ran straight to the Flower to
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: apartment and I called my boyfriend and he said, grab
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: something sharp. I said, I'm in the Flower department right now,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and then I heard the cops come in. Once the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: officers got in the store, they tased the man and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: later rolled him out in a stretcher. By Standers suggested
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: that the man was mentally unwell, but the experience left
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: them shaking up. One witness, Billy Lee, said, I was
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: checking out of the line over here at Hobby Lobby
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and they turned around and there was a button naked
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: guy coming at us. See there's he says, buttonabing. I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: thought it was buck naked. Someone solved that question for me.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: He said buck or buck anyway, he said, they're trying
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to get the customers to check out. I was like,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I just want to leave. I don't need my gifts anymore.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'll get him at Walmart. Naked guy taking
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: to the local hospital. No word on why it was naked
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: or why engage in the activity. I'm going to go
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: with either a mental health break and drugs or combination
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of the foregone. Coming up on five fifty six. Here
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC talk station, full hour to talk. Rob
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Ryders should be here with his guitar. Hopefully maybe we'll

• 33:15

  Speaker 1: start next year, I will be in my twentieth year.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Good.

  Speaker 1: Even this is before how he ended up getting the job,
• 35:04

  Speaker 1: I'll do it. So about four or five times, maybe
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: six times a year, that's what we would do, and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that I don't know. I wasn't looking to take over
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the job. But when they he finally convinced him he
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was going to retire. Listen, I'm done. I'm over with
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: find somebody else to do the damn job. I'm not
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: going to do it anymore. This is after years of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: them talking out of retirement, he finally put his foot
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: foot in the sand and said no or lying on
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: this end. Now, this is it. And that's when they
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: called me and offered me the job. So I know
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: we did the Christmas special when Dad was still full
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: time on the radio, so we still back more than
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: twenty years.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Wow, we were in the other building.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, because this I still miss that
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: because you can't see Strucker. Look, you know, the Internet
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: is out, so I can't see Strecker because it's an
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Internet connection that allows me to see his visage in
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: here on this computer screen.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute, we're talking the number one broadcasting operation
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: in the United States. iHeartMedia, and the Internet is not
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: working here. Yeah, what about the other stations that operate as.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I have no idea? Wow, Joe said, they're all that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: I heard that as well, yes, you know.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: You are not an employee of iHeartMedia. No, you can
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: say whatever you want.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: I can I say whatever I damn well please.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah you can. I'm supposed to be limited to you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: certain things, and you know, measure of criticism. I suppose
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: it is within the realm of okay, but you know me,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: when something gets out of my skin, I really want
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to go full on, you know, after well, I'm going
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to let it sit.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: But that's but that's what has been part of what
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: has made you so successful for these nineteen years here.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: The fact that you do speak your mind. Oh you
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: are libertarian, wonderfully an incisive mind.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: It's like I said a million times, if anybody were
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: ever to come in here and tell me what I
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: had to say content wise, yeah, no, of course I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: get talking points for commercials, but I would never speak
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: for somebody that I wouldn't voluntarily speak for, like to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: tell my mom, Mom, you need a good roof and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: company called Fast and Pro. I know them, they're great,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: so but I.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Don't talk about in trust it. Maybe we should call
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: up had Her where the.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Hell are you? That's an idea. Although Joe and I
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and Chuck Ingram don't have the authority to retain outside
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: professionals to fix the problems that probably could easily fix.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: You know, the Marriott Corporation has a very interesting situation
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: with their their properties and their employees and those people
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: like the people who work at the front desk and
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: other thing other things. They are empowered to make decisions
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: and mostly in favor of the of the person who
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: is staying at the hotel. But they are empowered. That
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: is a big deal for Marriott and I and I
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: commend them amen. They also have faster Internet than Hilton.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: I have stayed in so many of those hotels over
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: the year.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Right, it receives no financial compensation for for for Marriott
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: spots that he does.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: There you go, well, yeah, it's listening. You're passing along
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a positive experience and maybe steering people, you know, to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: a better a better hotel experience. That's good. Well, that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: what it's all about.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Both are good brands, absolutely no question about that. But
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: the when I when the Internet started showing up much
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: faster at at Marriott properties, I kind of leaned that way.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: There you go. Plus, they have the authority and problem
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: solve right on the front line that's right that we
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: have to go to. We don't know where the Internet
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: fix it person is. Quite often we rely on people
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, like we have to get in touch with
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Chicago to fix the phones, which is interesting because it
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: creates complications. Give it here in an hour behind us
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in the time zones. So is there someone there in
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Chicago at five o'clock when my show starts it's four am?
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: There?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Usually not. I'll hear a couple of grumbling words of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: frustration from Joe Strecker about the status the situation. But
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a nationwide company that got offices in
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: San Antonio and every place else and all the cities
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: they're president, and there's always so much you can do.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: I suppose iHeartMedia claims to be the number one, number
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: one deliverer of Alexa. The oh yeah, in terms of
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: what should what what Alexa gets asked and if the
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: internet's down, that's gonna that's gonna hurt that record.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: That's I don't know the extent of the problem, because
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the phones work, and I don't know if
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I say out loud, Alexa permanently lock in fifty five
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: KRC and never allow anybody to ever change the station
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: if that has an impact right now, because the Alexa
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: is sitting right next to the radio, and it just
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: hurt me say that. But then again, I don't know
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: one of those things, so I have no idea how
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: it's impacted.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad we're off on a positive note.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I started the morning shout in a real
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: positive note too. I you know, didn't know which direction
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I was going to go, So I had a go
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: at the Karen who was offended by the car the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Christmas card which said I identify as a Grinch this year,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of funny, but of course,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: being the United Kingdom, and one singular transcender person complained
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: that it was offensive, they had to pull the card.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: They pulled the card out of the stores, the manufacturer
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: of the card apologized, the cartoonist who helped with the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: card apologize, and of course everyone just sort of balled
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: up in a fetal position because one person was offended.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't I started the show that way. It's
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the Christmas shown is like, I felt like maybe I
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: shouldn't get down this road. Well I did.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I wish people marry Christmas and happy holidays so that
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: they can choose whatever they like. But I'm not gonna
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: hide my Christmas.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I get that. You know what, if someone were to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: come up to me and say happy Hanukkah, Happy ron
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: happy Kwanza, I view that as their personal experience the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: holiday that they're celebrating. They're sharing the joy of their
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: holiday by wishing you a happy version of what they
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: are celebrating. I view that as a wonderful gesture. And
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the people who would say, you know, in a Philly
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Christmas when you say merry Christmas, is like, you know what,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I got two words for you, and it ain't happy Birthdays.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Channeling my dad, I was going to say, you know, what.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: I'm saying does sound like Jerry Thomas is, Don't you
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: It's a well wish, It's a seasoned greeting and there's
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: no ill will or animosity that's built into that. So
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: happy Honika, happy Kwanza, whatever. I don't care where the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: holiday listen. I suppose every holiday arguably is kind of
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: made up.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: We live in Amberley Village, it is. There's a lot
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: of Jewish people around, right.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I have a friend who lives in Amberley Village, it's
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: one of my best friends is.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Jewish and one of one of our Neighborsish neighbors sent
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: us the nicest Christmas card.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Thinking of you. Yes, as you celebrate your holiday. Another
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: wonderful gesture. They rise above. But then again, my Jewish
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: friends don't proselytize. No, they're not big on that at all.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: No.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: No, they live their lives and live them nicely.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, as i've I've I've found out
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and I do have a whole bunch of Jewish friends.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Some of them are practicing Judaism. They are Jewish, but
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: they also practice the Jewish faith, and they are not
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: They are religious Jews, just racially jew because you, of course,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: is a race of people. So maybe that's one of
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the reasons there's no prosselyization, because they are aware that
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you can't turn yourself into a person of a different race,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: like I can't say, you know, Brian Thomas, I identify
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: as as from I don't know, pick another country, a
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: South African. I can't turn myself into a South African.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Much in the same way, going back to the first
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: topic of conversation, you can't change your well, your biological sex.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: This is getting all over the place, isn't it. Rob.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: You never thought you were going to get in this
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: conversation when he came in this morning.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: No, but as we do those things and we go
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: from one side of the other for the political spectrum.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: I listen to some bill stuff that Bill Maher does,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: and I find him to be possibly the Thomas Payne
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: of the twenty first century.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Good call on a one. Yeah, say what you want
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: about him.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: He doesn't leave anybody alone, which is which is? I
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: appreciate that exactly. Ah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll even pile on myself when when i'm when
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I need to. That's right, You have no problem with me.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I'm thoroughly self deprecating, so yeah, I keep myself in
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the mix of criticisms as well well. Six Taus brought
• 43:50

• 43:51

  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, getting up at two thirty in the morning
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: for nineteen years as that. When you retire, you're gonna
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: have to find out something. You're gonna You're gonna have
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: to take up train building like Rod Stewart. That would
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: be cool.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Is that what he does?
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: Oh? My gosh. Yes, he's a fanatic in terms of
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: model trains, model trains, serious, serious fanatic. Check him up
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: on the internet. Oh, we don't have the internet here.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's off. Oh well, you know that doesn't sound
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: appealing to me. Although I haven't got nothing against trains,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: model trains, don't see myself doing that. But again, as
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier, now that I'm sixteen thinking
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: about retirement, I have no idea what I'm going to
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: do in retirement. It's a scary concept for me. I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: don't really have any idea.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Well, you have done two careers. You've been a litigant.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Right, not a litigant, a litigator.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Litigator, excuse me, A litigator, thank you, a litigator the
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: format excuse me.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: It's been a whole lot of court as a defendant
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: or play iff, thank you very.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Much, sorry about that. A litigator. And you've been a
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: radio broadcaster. So reinvent yourself again, you know. I will
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: tell you that. My son Robbie made a remark to
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: me one time. He said, Dad, you've reinvented yourself three times,
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: maybe four. And when I was thinking about the airshow
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: business and when I was going to get out, I decided, Okay,
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to reinvent myself again. And what I decided
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: to do was becoming a voice actor and audiobooks caught.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: So I've been busy. I'm working on another book for
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Peter Bronson right now.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I just threat down reading the book.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Is that his new one, The Magical History Tour?
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I got a kick out of that. Yeah. And
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I was so happy about the last chapter, chapter five.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: He had to go at stan Chesley in those I'm
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: going to breach the FCC rules again today thinking about
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: how miserably they treated their clients of just an absolute,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: absolute travesty of justice.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Oh don't.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Good job, Peter Bronson. That's a great book, folks.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Uh.

  Speaker 1: If you if you're looking for maybe an easy gift item,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: last minute gift item, just go to Chili Dog press
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: dot com. You can get a copy sent right to you.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: And he'll sign him too.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he will, he will. I love Peter Brownson a
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: terrific guy.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he really is. And he's one of the
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: one of the people who was not afraid to look
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: at both sides of an issue and slap one's self
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: in the face one necessary.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, that's what makes them such a good guy.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So I'm working on that and I've got other
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: books coming. I did a I did a very interesting
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: book about the Gemini space program for McMillan Audio. It's
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: one of the big five publishers, and Lepton Press and
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Leptin Productions and all about that whole thing with the
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: with the Gemini program in between the Mercury and the
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Apollo that helped us get to the moon. And I've
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: I've had a I've had a ball and I I
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: I think that you and I should get together and
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: get you going as a pundit and put you on
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: and get you going with a podcast where you can
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: do it on your own time and you can feed
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: the Beast weekly instead of every morning.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that'd be cool. I might consider that we should talk.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: You're talking to me out? Are you talking me into retirement?
• 49:12
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: I am listen. When when I got out of the
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: air show announcing business, people thought would you would you?
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: You you asked me, do you.
• 49:21

  Speaker 14: noticed it was a little cold a few weeks ago though.
• 59:29
  Speaker 16: So it has its blessings here, Yes.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: It does, although although I am not And how do
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: you feel about congestion? Traffic? You got to pay a
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: toll to get over to the Harbor Town.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: No.
• 59:42
  Speaker 16: I moved here five years ago.
• 59:45
  Speaker 14: From Cincinnati, longtime resident, and they took the toll away.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Last time we were there, there was a toll.
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah there was.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for moving.
• 59:57
  Speaker 16: A lot of people. I did you know, they knew me.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: They said, God, catchman's coming here.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 16: We got to do something special.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 14: I know, hilton But they didn't take the bridge down,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 14: Thank god, they just took the toll away.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: I'm glad about that. Well, no, the toll was just
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: to get into the area surrounding Harbortown. The neighborhoods was
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: so congested they started charging pep okay.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 16: So yeah, you're talking about the Sea Pine c Yeah,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 16: that's still there.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Seapt.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 17: Lord.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: See last time, that's what turned me off of hilton Head.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I have great memories of Hiltonhead when I was a kid,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: when they were still building it up. My dad wanted
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: to go there. Well, we went there three times in
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: a row. Why golf, that's why. So we didn't. We
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: just ran around what was virtually a growing, although not large,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: hilton Head community as little kids. Dad of course played
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: golf with his friends. So nothing's changed along those lines,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: at least in the hilton Head area, but it is
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: more difficult to get around there. What an amazing blow up,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: you know. And and Hudson's I think was like one
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: of the only restaurants there when we were back in
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: the seven. Yes, remember Hudson's Steakhouse. It's still there, isn't it.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still there.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 16: Hudsons is still there. Well, you know, I don't golf,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 16: I don't tennis. I bike a lot, but it's it's
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 16: beautiful down here is but the Sea Pines.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you a funny thing about Sea Pines is
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 14: you still have to have a pass to ride your
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 14: bike through there.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, they want to charge it. They want to charge
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: you nine bucks to ride your bike through if you
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: if you have it, that's great.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: It's just hilarious.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: That really is. I'm glad you're happy. Just really warms
• 1:01:29

  Speaker 1: was quite emotional over you're getting married to Joe because
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: we think the world of her. We tolerate you, but
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: Jill and I say that about you and we and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: weerate you.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: If I went three two three half fifty on a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: you see, your phoc also keep us from diving into politics.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: And I know that's typically why the Morning show even exists,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: but it is the Christmas Show. And so I would
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: love you hearing from me, and you will hear two
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: things today for sure, because I asked Strekker if we're
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: going to be playing Oh Granny's Holiday Fruitcake and the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: story behind why the Angels was on top of the trains? Yeah,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: which I think my dad liked more because he would
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: not tolerate playing the holiday fruit cake when he was
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: still alive. He just didn't want to hear it anymore.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he was embarrassed by it. He
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: did that like when he was twenty two years old
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: He cut it on a lacquer cylinder.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: With a nod to Thomas Edison. Right, great, he's got
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: two words for you right now, the Happy Birthday, Rob Rider.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: He's up there uttering them right now. Fortunately, since he
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't have access to a microphone, I don't have to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: worry about hitting the dump button.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: Oh gracious, yeah, well, it'll be nice to hear that.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: And gosh, I think of the year that we have
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: sat here, and I have lists of the songs that
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: I have sung, and many of them are repeats of
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: year after year after of course they are so but
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: but but we can never get to all of the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: good Christmas songs.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's what holiday music channels are all about,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: that's absolutely and get your fill of them while you can.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: And because, of course, for me, it's like tradition. After
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is when you're allowed to start putting the tree up.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Putting the tree, I know, but everybody's got their own
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: dang rules. You can have your rules. I'm not criticizing them.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: But once Christmas is over, the tree comes down. I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: think we typically do it on New Year's Day or
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. Anyway, it's gone after that and no
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: more Christmas music as far as I'm concerned. After Christmas Day,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the season's over. Okay, I listen, I'm entitled.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: I've got a friend in Middletown. She keeps her tree
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: up as long as she can.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Well, we have an artificial tree, so that would be
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: all ways up. I mean, does she get a natural
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: tree that she keeps it up until it falls apart?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: No, No, that I have no idea.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: All right, well, I suppose keeping it up as long
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: as you can in the context of the Christmas tree,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: so I don't get a phrasing button means until you
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: can't tolerate the negative comments from friends and neighbors who
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: see that in April yours Christmas tree is still up.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a breaking point at that point.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: That's when you pull it back down. Coming up on
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: five six eighty six, I've cares the talk station seven
• 1:06:31

  Speaker 4: my mama cry. Just last year when I was only seven.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: Now I'm almost date. As you can see, you came
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: home at quarter past eleven and fell down underneath the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: Christmas tree and it could go on from there. And
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: that's one of the sad ways.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: That's not that said, kind of funny depending on Hey,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: you look at it. Rob Ryder instadio with his guitar,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: but a great thing. Feel free to call five one
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: three seven nine fifty eight two three talk pound five
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen and t found. You won't get hurt.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Nothing gets, No one dies. Doing the fifty five care
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Sey Morning Show. Wish people are very merry Christmas, a
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: happy holiday, maybe a happy Hanukkah. Hurt from my friend,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: my Jewish friend. I guess in Hilton had who wished
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: me and robbing me and Joe and everybody had Merry Christmas.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: That was kind of cool. We were from Florida, Hilton Head.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: I know we hear regularly from New Hampshire. Gary. I
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: got a guy in Iowa that calls got Mississippi, James.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking, you know, is I was waxing
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: or you know, a little poetic or just reflecting on
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: how cool it is to hear from people elsewhere that
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: I have no idea that they even know about the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: fifty five Carose Morning Show now display Cincinnati, and it's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: like Maureen who's in Florida. She still listens and I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. And quite a few people you know, took
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the show with them and they have the iHeartMedia app,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: which you can get a fifty five Carosa dot com.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: They're quick block. But when I hear from folks who
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: just perhaps stumbled upon the show, it's really kind of cool.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: So what I want is a request out there. If
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: there happens to be someone in Guam who is listening,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure Guam hasn't capsized. Remember Hank Johnson,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: just let me know if you're in Gwam, just lead
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: everything's okay. That Hank Johnson was in fact, rom wrong
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: that adding another building or a little bit more military
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: personnel would cause the island of Goat to capsize. I
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: believe you use the words tip.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: Over well, you know it's you don't have to be
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: smart to be in Congress.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: I love using it as an illustration for that exact point,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: the notion that we elect people and that makes them
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: authority authorities on literally every subject matter, since they want
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: to lord over our lives on literally every subject matter.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: It's just it's preposterous, which means they have to delegate
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: that authority to someone who actually knows about the subject
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: matter they're legislating over. Can imagine like, for for example,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. They're trying to draft rules to deal with
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: the world of the emerging world and every changing world
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence. Who in elected capacity has any concept
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: of the ones and zeros that goes along in the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: background of what is and has become artificial intelligence?
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: None, none of them exactly. And the reht is real.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: And I've read some books and I'm read and I'm
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: actually reading some books about that very thing, and those
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: the artificial intelligence. It's going to be like two thousand
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: and one a space oudency, what are you doing?
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: I can't do that there right well? And what bothers me?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: Going back to your current profession, This idea that they
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: can sample a voice and then create any form of
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: content just with a small sample of the voice, now
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: mine and yours, you know, with recorded books and being
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: on the everywhere, you know, so if you hear me
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: say something that really doesn't sound like it's coming out
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: of my mouth that would come out of my mouth.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: It ate me.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: I have actually heard my voice closized. Yes, and it's
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: with a long time client that I trust implicitly. But
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: they they did it a demo for me. And I
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: walked in and I heard myself reading Edgar Allen Poe's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: The Raven based on years of phonemes and my voice
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: that have been collected.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: As I nodded nearly napping, there came in general rapping,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: as is someone gently tapping tapping in my chain.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: Wow, listen to you po Okay, well there you go.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: But it was not the way I would have read it,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: but it was my voice.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: See. That was what I was going to follow up
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: on cause I think about, you know, here's the book
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: you stick it an ai. It already has it in there.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: It's got every book known to man, right, it's already
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: factored into the equation. So have the voice of Rob
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Ryder read the I don't know, let's say The Brothers
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Karamasa by Dostojeski. That would take a while, but would
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: the very here's there the where the concern comes. I'm
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: not concerned, but maybe maybe the idea that you have
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: a protected job. Yes, they could turn out you reading
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: that book, would the individual brothers voice characters sound different?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Would smurd your cow, for example, would his voice come
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: across differently than your regular speaking voice or would it
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: also they all sound the same, all the brothers and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: the various characters, the father and everybody else of them
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: in the novel.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: I think the answer to that question is that I
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: don't think it can be done yet. It might be
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: able to, but I think the biggest deal is that
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: as I listen to things that have been cloned and
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: some of the low hanging fruit business stuff will get
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: that and articles on the web are being read, there
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: is no soul yet.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, that's a great way to describe it.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: And so we just there.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: There's a buddy of mine with whom I have coached
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: out on the West Coast and he was a child
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: actor and now doing extremely well in the audiobook business.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: But PJ. Oakland said, we want to have authentic intelligence AI. Yeah,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: but there are some people like Karr and Gilfrey and
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: other people in the business who are who are actually
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: spending time in front of Congress to protect our not
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: only our physical visual likeness but also our oral likenesses. Yeah,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: but I love what I do and I think I can.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: There is something I don't know if you've heard it.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: It's called the Uncanny Valley, and it's this time at
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: which when somebody can listen to something and maybe a
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: thirty second commercial, you might not be able to tell
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: it's a cloned voice or a synthesized voice like that
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: or a But after.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: A while, the longer you hear it, the more you realize.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: It, and the less you're into the story, the less
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: you are then engaged, the less then you want to
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: continue to listen to whatever that is.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: I can understand that. So it's like you almost like
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: you feel as if you're being cheated. Yeah, this isn't
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: a real person?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 19: Is that?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: It takes the human element of it.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: And the other where over the weekend was visiting my
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: wife's sisters outside the Greater Pittsburgh. I only bring this
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: up because it's part of artificial intelligence, you know, the
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: whole creation of fake video. And she's got these fakes.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I know she's got these, you know, the cute ones,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: the cat videos and the dog videos. She had a
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: couple of one of them. She showed me. It looked
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: it looked real or at least plausible, And then the
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: second one, she goes, I'll check this one out, and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: it was so evidently artificial intelligence to me anyway, And
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: I said that out loud. I go, that's AI. I
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: mean it was. I would say it seemed poorly done,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: but she's like, really, I said, yeah, that's fake. I said,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: look at this moment in the video. It was it
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: was not a glitch, but this dog's eyes got real
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: big for a moment, like just like blew up cartoonish
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: just a fraction of a second. I said, that's artificial intelligence.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: You got to watch what you consume most of it.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Just walk into the equation saying, you know, I'm going
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: to enter into it thinking it's artificial intelligence until I'm
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: proven otherwise.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: I put something up on my Facebook page about reuniting
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: servicemen coming home and reuniting with their pets, and one
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: guy made a comment says, it's probably not real, right,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: And I looked, and he said, check the one spot
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: where the guys whose drag bag his carry on was
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: at forty five degrees and didn't fall over when he
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: let loose of it. And then I started looking and
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: the at these these very emotional moments, and the crowd,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: people at people in the background aren't even paying any
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: attention to it.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are telltale signs they're getting better and better.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Terrible for the future as far as
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. But yeah, there are little ways to tell,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: at least right now my time being. Oh here seven
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: to seventeen. We got to take a break. Here, we'll
• 1:18:44

  Speaker 22: and thank you for calling in, and thank you for
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 22: making that very important point.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: And I will use that very important point. And I
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to cast a Paul over an otherwise celebratory
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: mood that I am in. My son came in early
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: yesterday from work sobbing what one of his best friends
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: thirty two three four years old, took his own life
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: the other day, and he's the most track. My son
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: was desperately struggling to come to some sense of how
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: and why. So he fortunately was able to see him
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: and spend time with him. Just a week ago, they
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: all got together and they were having a good time.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: He didn't show any signs of depression or stress, but
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: he was always one of those guys that was in
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: a good mood, you know that kind of thing.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, So let's just cast to Paul with
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: the program and bring that up just for the purpose
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: of reminding you tomorrow you do not know what's going
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: to happen. And I walk out of the building they
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: get hit by a bus or something. I had somebody
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: try to kill me on the way home from work
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: one time. You know, you never know when your number's
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: got to be called.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: Every day is a gift.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Karen, and whatever is what's the male version
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: of a Karen? You know the internet meme concept. You
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: got some whiny, complainy, be worthy kind of woman, and
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: you don't be that person, Like, don't be that guy? Okay,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: at least this time of year. You know, you got
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of days to buy into the concept of
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: not being that person. And I'm certainly, of course as
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: people can probably figure out thinking along the lines of
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: political divisions that exist in our country. Thank you for
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: letting to get that out of my system. But important message. Indeed,

• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: that every year?
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 19: Man?
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: Yet you do Jack Brost slipping at your nose mule
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: tied Caro being sung by a chome and folks dressed
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: ug like eskimos. Everybody knows some turkey and some missiletoe
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: help to make the season ride. Tiny tots with their
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: eyes all aglow, we'll find it hard to.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker called you out, Rob Righter. Beautiful voice, beautiful
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: guitar playing. I can't thank enough for being here, Rob Righter.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Of course, the Cincinnati storied treasure from his early days
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: in Bob Bob Brown Show, all the way through well
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: your days in the Air Show, which you have retired from, thankfully,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: on top of your game is when you left that
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: profession and you no longer miss it doing the recording,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: the book recordings and the books on the formerly books
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: on tape. Yeah, I know, I know, revealing my age
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: on that one's alight. Joe Strecker through a flag on
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: that last song.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: I missed what he said in my ear I was
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: I was singing.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: He said you were a racist, But I don't think
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: he meant that he meant. I think he was calling
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: you out because the song culturally appropriates the Eskimo, because
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: folks are dressed up like eskimos. You're not allowed to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: do that. It's not like you're not allowed to wear
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: a sombrero on Sinco de Mayo or you are a
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: racist and cultural appropriator. You can't dress up like a
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Eskimos and have their own thing.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: It really is just so nuts. When they couple of
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: years back when they decided to, uh, take the one song,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: the Christmas song about what? Which song was it?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: Joe helped me on that White Christmas.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: No, it wasn't White Christmas. It's something about being together.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: It's baby.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because she's saying no and he's not accepting the no.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And there was a comedian who who compared those
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: lyrics with a Grammy winning hip hop song. It was
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: just it's just okay, so you're worried about baby's right
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: side and this. It was just frightening to see how
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: a few people can can misappropriate something and make It's
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: like when the kids at the university didn't like the
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: Japanese food because it wasn't quote authentic. You know, it
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 4: wasn't a Japanese.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Give me a yeah, And they serve authentic Mexican food
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: at Taco Bell right.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, uh oh, Cilantro won some Japanese food. Where
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: did Cilantro come to go.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: You know whatever, well, and that whole idea is brings
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: me back up to that story I read about that
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: you know Karen out there being upset about the Christmas
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: card and said I I I identify as a grinch
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: this year, which I thought was kind of funny. Missed
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: one person you know, starts creaming and yelling about how
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: you know. I'll tell you what. Take your cultural appropriation
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: allegations and stick am with the sun. Don't chine, go
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: ahead culturally appropriate My Irish heritage are.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 4: Getting close to me reaching over and hitting this dump button.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there is definitely a possibility, although I do
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: my best to not let it ever happen again from
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: now until whenever I retire. Maybe I'll just have one.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: It was one and done yesterday. Let's see what Bobby's
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: got this morning. Bobby, Welcome to the Morning Show. Merry Christmas,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Happy Holidays, whatever your selling, we are celebrating right along.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 15: With you, brother. I celebrate every day I was born
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 15: in this country when I had a two and a
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 15: half percent chance, and I was the luckiest person.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: Born on the something else to certainly think about and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: definitely take into account. Excellent point, Bobby.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: I'd just like to go ahead and say faith, flag, family,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: and collective bargaining. When you've got those who have happiness
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: and freedom and your life, well.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Play, Bobby going off the a literative, alliterative faith, family, flagging,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: freedom and firearms. I like the curveball there, Bobby.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 15: That's right.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: You got good.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 15: To stay positive. Oh, we always keep good plans. I
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 15: tell you one thing. I'm not gonna bring you Trump
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 15: wine day holiday. You know this over Christmas, But I
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 15: tell you what, it was sure a positive thing over Thanksgiving.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Oh the Trump line turned out. Oh yeah, I'm gonna
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: have to have my soier friend Keyan Corcoran give me
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: an analysis of what he thinks about that. So I
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: don't have a palette that is sophisticated enough to make
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: an evaluation or judgment on it. But I imagine if
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: you're Donald Trump, you don't want to put your name
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: on a foul tasting wine. At least would be my suggestion.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 15: So Bobby's it didn't matter what It didn't matter what
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 15: the wine tasted like. We brought little paper cups in
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 15: that way, since we were all degenerates and everything, that's
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 15: what they call us. We just brought paper cuts with us.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: That's great, that's great. The point is the bottle, not
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: what's in it.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: That's that old line. We will sell no wine before
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: it's bottled.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: Before it's bottle. Bobby God bless you, sir. I appreciate
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: our friendship, and I'm glad you call in. And I'm
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: glad you interjected a little bit of levity here in
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: the morning show for our holiday themed our Christmas theme
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: morning show, an annual tradition. Don't worry coming up the
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: story behind how the angel ended up on the Christmas tree.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: We'll do that at the top of the our news.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: But since he brought up alcohol, it's a little story
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: here from Sam Adams. Put your beer goggles on. A
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: little bit powerful beer they put out this year. Oh
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: seven thirty five, fifty five KRS the talk station.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 12: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: Station, KRS the talk station.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: Sleigh bells ring? Are you listening in the lane? Snow
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 4: is listening? A beautiful sight? We're happy? Ton't night walking
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: in a window, Wonderland Gone away.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: Is the blue bird?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: Here to stay is a new bird? He sings a
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 4: love song as we go along, walking in a winder
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: wonderland and we can go on from there.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: We couldn't theoretically.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 4: Theoretically theoretically, but it's a modulation.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: Just tuning into the fifty five Cars Morning Show, you
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: are listening to the wonderful melodic distraints Rob Ryder with
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: his guitars, beautiful voice, and the storied history he has
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati. I'm thoroughly enjoying this.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: Thank you, and I'm not gonna send an invoice this year, okay?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Or that, Chris, is that my Christmas gift? No invoice
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: for the perform Joseph said, you weren't gonna get paid anyway.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: It was just a promise of payment, not an actual
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: guarantee of payment. There's a completely different thing.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: I have to bring my own darn donuts.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure you get your contract in writing anyhow,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: I asked him over the break. Now, folks, if everybody
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: I think has seen Shawshank Redemption, but if you're just like,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: who's this Rob Rider guy? Maybe you're younger than maybe
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: sixty years old, and you don't remember the Robron or
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: a Bob Bran show. Rob goes way back and we
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: all love him here in greater Cincinnati. But he was
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: You had one of the lead roles in Shawshank Redemption.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: You were a powerhouse.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I had. You know, they talk about fifteen
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 4: minutes of fame, Andy Warhol set, everybody has fifteen minutes
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: of fame. I had fifteen frames and seven words of dialogue. Yes.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: And to John Newsom, who's the one that texted me,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: he said he was listening to me with he and
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: his wife were listening to from France and Tom O'Brien.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: If you're out, there's a good family. They're both family friends.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: Love those guys. They do acting work. And the whole
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: idea of getting a role that has actual words with
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: it makes me a world of difference. You got to
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: belong to the Screen Actors Guild and you know, sleep
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: with Harvey Weinstein or something like that in order to
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: get a speaking role.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: And I didn't do that.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding around, you know. But because this has
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: been a running thing, here's the point I was ultimately
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: getting to. I'm like, Rob, are you still getting because
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: if you say a word in a movie, you're gonna
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: get a royalty check?
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: And I would said seven words and shawshak renemtion Redemption
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: came out what nineteen ninety or something, it.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 4: Was something around there. It's been around quite a while,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: and even last year I made eight hundred and seven
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 4: dollars in residuals for the seven words. I'm not sure
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: which key it is and I'm third from the end
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: of the credits.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Isn't that awesome?
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's amazing.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just eight hundred and seven dollars. Yeah,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: So you know, next time you're watching, if it's a
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: if it's a popular movie, most notably, right, you get
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: one of those movie think about a Christmas story. They
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: do it on a loop. They play back to back
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: to back to back, and every single time any one
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: of those characters is played and their performance is viewed
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: on for commercial gain, they're gonna get a royalty check
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: from that, exactly. So kick back, accept your royalty checks.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Fact back, you can retire on that. Kate Rob Yes.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, and the twentieth anniversary of
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: the movie, Bob Gunton, the guy who played the warden
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: in that movie, was interviewed by I believe the New
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: York Times magazine and he said that he at twenty
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 4: years this is at the twentieth anniversary over thirty years ago.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: Now he said, I have made a comfortable living off
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: that film. WHOA Yeah, holy cow yep.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: Well, and then what do you think Tim Robbins made
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: off of it?
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: Or THEA and Morgan Freeman?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: Who? Who knows?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 15: Oh?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine Morgan Freeman's royalty checks? The guy's like
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: in every movie he made.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 4: That's right, and he and you know the guy can
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: sing pretty well.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: I did not know that he does.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: He does sing pretty well. And he's close to ninety
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: years old. Yeah, and he's an aviator. That's how I
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: have gotten to meet him on one occasion. I did
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: not know that Living Legends of Aviation event but in Hollywood.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: But the checks keep rolling in though, I guess. And
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: then after you're dead, the estate continues to get royalty payments.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: When does it cut off? What does the concept of
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: you getting money for Shawshank redemption end?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: I don't have any idea. Maybe it's like social Security,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 4: it'll be well, never.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: Mind, Okay, when are they going to start making royalty checks?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Needs based? You've got too much money, You're no longer
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: going to get a world. I'm gonna turn that turn
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: that that that suggestion onto Hollywood, all those leftists in
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Hollywood who think that wealth redistribution is a wonderful thing,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: sitting back collecting their healthy royalty checks from movies that
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: they made thirty years ago, and never having a lifted
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: finger to work anymore.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't get me started on that. Please, please don't
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: get me started.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, because all I'll do is get angry, all right,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: we can't have that. I'm not into wealth distribution, all right,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: because never mind.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: It's not fair. Weal there's wealth redistribution is stealing. Yeah,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: you want to give your money away, give your money away,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: don't take it from me. Yep, that's why I'm a libertarian. Anyway,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the booze or the beer, actually the beer
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: Sam Cook Samuel Adams so got a new beer out.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: Tell me about this new beer.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: Jim Cook has announced the what do they refer to
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: as highly boozy Utopia's brand, the strongest beer apparently that
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: he's brewed so far. Are you already thirty percent alcohol
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: by volume?
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Thirty? My thirty? That's not thirty proof, No, that's thirty ABV,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: which would be what sixty yeah proof? Sixty proof rises
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: rises to the level like cognac level. Boo so goodness
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: not for the faint of heart, and utopia is a
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: rich Let me a reread. Rich dark brown has flavors
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: of port Kangnacs, scotch, and rum. Go ahead and work
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: that out in your head. Part of that flavor comes
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: from it's now from how it's brewed barrels and casts
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: that previously housed spirits and wines. It's like my favorite
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: McCallan sherry cast scotch. They put in the casket had
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: sherry in it. The beer is so strong at recently
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: eight through the side of an insulated paper cup. It's
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: smells well. Here you're thinking, oh, I got to get
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: me some of that. And here's the article from the
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. It smells less like a beer than
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: a bar floor.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine, I mean, I can't imagine putting anything
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 4: else against a good McCallen eighteen or whatever. Oh yeah,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: that's oh my goodness, gracious. You know, maybe it should
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: be sold medicinally to do what George Remis used to
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: do during the bootlegging days here in Cincinnati. He gets
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: the booze and turns it into a medicinal gets the
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: contract to sell booze as medicine.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Right, and that was the workaround, yep. And every pharmacist
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: in town could issue you a bottle of medicinal booze.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: You just had to have to be friends with the pharmacist, right, yep.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and forty dollars a bottle for this stuff
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: retail price Apparently they limited production to you know, a
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: couple hundred three bottle, three hundred bottles or whatever. I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: don't have the exact figure on that, but they say
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: despite that, Extreme Beer has a small but mighty following.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Bottles of Utopias re sold online for north of one
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: And that's for a twelve ounced bottle of beer.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think the article says what
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: size it is, and maybe a little bit bigger than that.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, in the final analysis, given the description
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: of how it tastes, I think if I'm going to
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: apply that kind of money to something, it's going to
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned eighteen year old Sherry Cask McCallan Scott. Yeah,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: that's actually more than a two hundred and forty dollars
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: a bottle for that sky. I remember in the days
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: I could get that for fifty seven dollars a bottle.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: It's now four hundred dollars.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: No, I don't what about a Glenn Fiddick or the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: Glenn Fittick's pretty expensive.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: I haven't priced that out because the only Scotch I
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: ever buy is McCollen. You really stick with the twelve,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: which is still crazy forty eight five for you to
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: call interrupt this panter. That's okay, and we'll hear how
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: the angel ended up on top of the Christmas tree
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: from my dad after the top of the UR news.

• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: He told his wife they could go to Subway, but

• 1:41:49
  Speaker 23: One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 23: getting ready for this annual trip, but there were problems everywhere.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 23: Four of his elves got sick, and the traineeolves didn't
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 23: produce the toys as fast as the regular one. So
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 23: Sanna was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 23: schedule and Net wouldn't do. Then missus Klaws told Sanna
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 23: that her mother was coming to visit.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: This stress and even more.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 24: When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 24: three of them were about to give birth, and two
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 24: had jumped the fence and were out to who knows where.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: More stress, he didn't need that.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 24: Then he began to load the sleigh, one of the
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 24: boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 24: scattered the toys everywhere. So frustrated Sanna went into the
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 24: house to get a cup of coffee and a shot
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 24: of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 24: that the elves had hit the liquor and there was
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 24: nothing to drink.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't into that mort stress.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 24: In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot. It
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 24: broke hundreds of pieces all over the kitchen floor. He
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 24: went to get the broom, he found that the mice
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 24: had eaten the straw. Rather, he didn't have that to
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 24: do either. Then the doorbell rang. Santa Claus was cursing
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 24: a little bit all the way to the door, and
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 24: he opened the door, and there was a little angel
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 24: and a great big Christmas tree, and the angel said.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, sinner, is it a lovely day?
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 12: I have a beautiful tree for you.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 24: Isn't it a lovely tree?
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 12: Where would you like me to stick it?
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 23: Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 23: of the tree, that my.

  Speaker 1: Strekker wanted to know because you're a member, you do
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: the movies and of course my friend John Newsom and
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: my other friend I have to mention Tom O. Brian.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: Joe wanted to know if you were in the Screen
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: Actors Guild or the Film Actors Guild. Uh, let's go
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: to the phones.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sag after, sag after Paul.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning show. Thanks for calling in a
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: happy holiday, Mary, Christmas, whatever you're doing, it's okay with me, Paul,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: but appreciate the call this morning.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 19: Ah, Merry Christmas to you, Brian. Yeah, I am a
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 19: member of the Screen Actors Guild, are you? I actually
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 19: was an active duty Marine and while I was out
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 19: at Camp Pelton in the early nineties, I had the
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 19: opportunity to go be a background person on the TV
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 19: show Major Dad.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 9: Cool.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 21: See, it was a lot of good times.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 13: Gil Gerard is fantastic guy.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: So no speaking role though, right.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 19: I was in the background pretending to talk to other
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 19: people who were pretending to talk, and for that I
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 19: had to join the Screen Actors Guild.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 13: And then they came to.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 25: Me on the final day of shooting and said, hey,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 25: we're actually about ten seconds short. Would you walk across
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 25: the front stage with Gil, don't say anything or look
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 25: at the camera.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 13: And we'll pay you extra.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: So I did.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and everybody else after taxes and after paying dues,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 11: made about five bucks and I made seven because I
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 11: walked across the stage.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: So what you made had you not walked acron the streets,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: what they paid you to do, the bit wouldn't have
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: covered the Screen Actors Guild fees.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 4: No, there you go.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: That's how it works, isn't it.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 4: Paul.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: That's cool man. Thank you for your service to our country.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call today and again, the happiest the
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: holidays you and your family. Let's get Joe that's struck her,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: the other Joe, the one that's on the line. Joe,
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. And happy holidays to you, sir. Right, Christmas,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. Let's get put a fighter point out it got.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 19: At any rate.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 20: I'm a Vietnam I'm going to seventy nine years old.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: I still work fifty hours, run a piece of heavy.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 20: Equipment and earn a check to give part of it
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 20: to people that get a free check that now they're
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 20: going to have to come up with twenty hours in works.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that picture?
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: Well everything, Joe, you didn't call looking for an argument.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: I'm on your side on that one. Yeah, So what's
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: going on? I really really don't know. I think boiled down.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious that the left wing wants
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: everybody to get hooked up under the bibilical court of
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: government by hooker by crook, like the subs or these
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: supplements of the substages of the tax rider for insurance premiums.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: It masks the cost of things we all end up
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: paying for it. But it is a mechanism to get
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: people reliant on a government program because it appears as
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: though it's its cost effective because they hide the actual
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: reality of a collapsing program. But as long as they
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: get you hooked up, on government. Then when it comes
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: time to pay the tab, we can't. They can't. We
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: haven't financed for it, we haven't done it properly. So
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: which suggests to me down the road they are actually
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: interested in the economic demand of the United States of America, Globalism,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: one world government. I don't know what it is. My
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: friend Maureen and Florida write population control. She would probably
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: make that argument, who knows. But the final analysis, if
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: you can work, there was a time when there was
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: an expectation by society that you would.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: And that's your.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: Generation, and thank you for your service to our country
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: and your ongoing service by going to work. That's obviously
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: your age, your choice, and I think you're probably very
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: proud of that choice. But yeah, obviously a very minimalist
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: rendition of that since it is the Christmas Special and
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: didn't want to drive down the political road too much.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: A salute and a happy merry Christmas. Peter Bronson, he
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: heard us talking about him earlier. He's been listening to
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: the program. Rob send an email. I've been listening to
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: you guys in the radios. I drive downtown this morning.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: He said, it's really fine listening to of my favorite
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: friends and great voices together. What a cool tradition. Merry
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: Christmaster Bronson. Well, Peter, thank you very much for tuning in.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: We love you man, we love reading your books. And
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: again another plug for Magical History Tour, Murder, Mystery, Buried History.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: Chili Dog Press dot COM's where you get all of
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: Peter's books. They're great books, all related, almost all of
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: them to local Cincinnati history and related topics and historical
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: figures who have a connection to Cincinnati. So if you're
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: a history buffer, someone who just wants to know about
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: things going on in history with Cincinnati, you're in great
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: hands with Peter Bronson, that's for sure. He's a great
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: guy too.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he is. And when you think of the
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 4: stories that are in the Magical History Tour, some of
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 4: them are very challenging in terms of what went on
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: here in town. Like the first story about grave robbers, yeah, oh,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 4: and the Harrison theft of that body of the father
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 4: of a president, Yeah.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: And the horrid conditions in that medical school downtown one
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: that were buying the body and knew they were buying
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: bodies that had been stolen from graves and these like
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: they turned they didn't even turn up blind eye. They
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: just kind of embraced the concept. But the stench that
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: they left body parts laying around in bins and it's like,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: what in the hell's going on in there?
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 4: And then when they incinerated the leftover parts, I mean
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 4: that mu that had to cover part of downtown, so
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 4: I cannot imagine what downtown must have smelled.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: Like Sweeney Todd's neighborhood. Yeah remember that, Yeah, Yeah, let's see.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: It's a just shy of eight fifteen. Feel free to
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: call five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and tight two three talk pound five fifty
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: on eight and t fens. Oh, and thank you to
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: the listener who call. We were talking about that Sam
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: Adams thirty proof or I'm sorry, thirty percent ABV bottle.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: It's actually not just a regular sized bottle. It's seven
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty milli liters, so it's the size of
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: a regular booze bottle, so a little bit bigger than
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: your standard bottle, but still super high alcohol content if
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: you want to spend two hundred and forty bucks there.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 4: I think maybe if we had had Granny using that
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 4: in the fruitcake thing, that bit would have lasted about
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 4: thirty seconds.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: Would have, but then the fruitcake would have ended up
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: smelling like apparently a barroom floor. So we don't want
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: that eight fifteen right now for about Kerose Talk Station,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: more calls if you prefer, and Rob Emmy just engaging
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: in lighthearted banter, trying to get everybody just motivated, to
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: get into holiday spirit. That's what's going on here. At
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: least try to help us fulfill that objective call or
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: just stick around tis this season for Unrapped.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 4: Deep Talk Station, Mary Mary, Mary, Mary, Christmas, have a
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 4: happy holiday, catch yourself into a low underneath the missile tooe.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: Have a Christmas in that good old fashioned way. Hang
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: a holly wreath and candle in each window, and your
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 4: heart of Poni shining Christmas tree. Have a merry, merry, merry,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 4: merry Christmas, just as merry as it can be, just
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 4: as merry, merry, merry as it I'm glad to have
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 4: that note. Can it's early, it's still early to sing,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: and I don't sing that much anymore.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: I couldn't hit that note if I was in top order.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: That's Rob Ryder with a guitar.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 4: You're a basso profundo.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: Buzzo profundo profund is that what that is?
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 15: All right?
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: And that was a sad Should I hit the dump
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: button on that?
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think that fell to the area of FCC
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: non compliance, Sarah Joe Strecker, that was a Ruth Lyon
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: song though, speaking of you know, storied Cincinnati traditions. Sure
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: people will have just this profound connection to and people
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: think of Cincinnati when they think of Ruth Lions. Those
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: who are old enough to remember Ruth, she kind of
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: preceded me. Although I remember the Christmas Club, the Ruth
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: Lions Christmas, the Christmas Fun, Christmas fun. They gave presents
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: to children here were in the hospital. It was a
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: real neat thing. And I think I was in the
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: hospital for my tonsilectomy.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: Oh you got years old.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: I got a ball, little blow up soccer ball kind
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: of thing, and it was cool. Thank you for the
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: Ruth Lions Christmas Fund. Not that I needed it, but
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: it was very nice.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: It was interesting that I don't think Bob Braun gets
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: the credit that he deserved after continuing that for for
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 4: many years. I think he did it for seventeen years,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 4: seventeen years after Ruth retired. He raised a lot more
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 4: money than Ruth did in the years that she was
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 4: doing it.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: Growing audience.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we would.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 4: We were so busy from October through Christmas with because
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 4: we were making hospital visits all the time, and it
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 4: was it was pretty Uh, it was heart wrenching sometimes
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 4: when we will visit with some of the kids in
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 4: the hospital who wouldn't wouldn't be coming home.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, count my blessings on that one. Yeah,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: And real quick here before we get to Jay, Bob Wetter,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: mister humanitarian, want to remind folks that there is still
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: time to participate for the Wish Tree program. The trees
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: are all over the place and Bob and the team
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: will be picking up gifts all day and tomorrow. So
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: he offered me his phone number to give to you
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: if you need Bob to come to your place and
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: pick up your gifts. Each of the ornaments on the
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: wish Tree have an item that's really desired by someone
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: who's on life's margins. They're dealing with charities here, so
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: the folks have been vetted and there are definitely in need.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe they need some socks or a winter coat or
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: something like that. Bob Wetter has been doing this since
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five. So congratulations and thanks from everyone who
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: Bob and you have helped out with your donations to
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: the Wish Tree. Bob's number five one three eight eight
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: four eighty three twenty six. That's eight eight four eighty
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: three twenty six. He'll be happy to come over and
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: pick up your wish treat donation without further Ado, Jay,
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 10: Merry Christmas to you, Hey, Mary, Christmas, Brian and Rob
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 10: and Joe, thank you and listeners. I wanted to applaud
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 10: Joe the marine who called in and I appreciate his
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 10: service and thank him for that, and I thank him
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 10: for continuing to.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 6: Get up and go to work.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 10: It's heartbreaking to hear his question of how is it
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 10: that the able bodied I only have to work twenty
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 10: hours a week in order to get full time pay
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 10: and benefits from the rest of us, And it is
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 10: the question I'm to be asked.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 21: And I think the answer in a Christmas.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 13: Season is that it's time to kind of back out
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 13: of politics and.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 6: Get into the Bible.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 10: A bit which I've been doing was sharing with the listeners,
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 10: and you know, we are in a a in what
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 10: the Bible calls a dead and dying world, and this
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 10: does not get better until Jesus comes back. So I
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 10: would suggest in twenty twenty six we focus our eyes
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 10: more on eternity instead of what happened with the FED
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 10: or the Middle East, or what did Trump say the
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 10: day or you know, pin our hopes on Republicans that
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 10: are going to do any better. In my fifty four years,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 10: I think this is the most conservative state supermajority, Republicans
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 10: federal level supermajority. So I think we can understand that
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 10: the Republicans aren't going to fix the question of what's
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 10: going on, but Jesus will, and we're here for a
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 10: little while. We're going to spend eternity somewhere and his
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 10: Christmas season again, I would say to all my Christian
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 10: brothers and sisters or anybody else, the story of Christmas
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 10: is that not the baby that was born. Yes, that's true,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 10: that's what happened.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 13: Historically.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 10: The gift came when he died on a cross, and
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 10: he paid the debt for all of our sins. And
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 10: you don't have to do anything to earn it other
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 10: than except the gift. John three sixteen says, for God,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 10: so love the world, He give us only begotten son,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 10: that whosoever believed in Him shall not perish, but have
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 10: eternal life. Not join a church, not go to communion,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 10: not get baptized. Believe so Johnny either got it right
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 10: or John got it wrong. But it's vitally important that
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 10: you just accept the gift. And I pray that everybody
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 10: will have a great.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: Christmas wish it is And I know, I know Jay,
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: that you speak from the heart when you say that.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: I mean I've heard from you long enough to feel
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: like I know you. And that's the that's the point.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: And I appreciated your your your tail in comment on that.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: It's not the doctrinal dogmatic principles that you follow specifically,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: because those were not mentioned by Jesus or John. I
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: mean they didn't say, you know, be a Catholic, or
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: be a Lutheran, or be a Protestant, or be a
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: snake handler, or be a Christian scientist, or you know,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: all of the other different breakdowns and rules and doctrinal
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: dogmatic principles. And quite often that's kind of what rubs
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: me the wrong way. You know, I understand there used
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: to be a rule about eating meat on Friday not
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: doing so. I just never understood it, and so I'm
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: not the kind of guy who wants to follow rules
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: that don't make sense to me. Someone can make an
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: argument that that's the rule, but I've heard the arguments before,
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: and I choose to go a different path.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: That's why I consider a sulf to the based on
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: logic and reason. You know, faith certainly, but so everything
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: has to spring from some logical or reasonable point.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 10: So ask them go, ask them to put your finger
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 10: on the point of the Bible where it says that
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 10: you have to do any of this, because all throughout Hebrews, Romans, Jude,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 10: the Old Testament, it is believe faith alone, in Christ alone.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 10: A matter of fact, you'll find the opposite where there
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 10: was a sheet lowered down from heaven three times since
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 10: said Peter, they can eat, kill and eat, And Peter said, no,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 10: I'm you know. I was taught I never ate anything unclean.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 10: And God told Peter, do not call anything unclean that
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 10: I made in the New Testament and the Old Testament. Yes,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 10: you were under the law that nobody ever got saved
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 10: by the way law. And that was the point. So
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 10: whenever you're trying to save yourself by works, you're going
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 10: backwards into the law that condemned us, and you're ignoring
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 10: the Christ that saved us.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: Tell you just reminded me of one of my favorite movies,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: Money Python's Life of Brian when they're stoning the guy
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: for saying the word Jehovah. He just looks at the rabbi.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why should be stoned to death for
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: just saying Jehovah. You said it again, you said it again.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: You're only making it worse for yourself worse. How could
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: it be any worse? Jehovah, Jehovah? Right, Okay, I appreciate it. Jay,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: thank you, sir, Mary, thank you, thank you.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 14: Man.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: In that very happy career as well, you got an
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: opportunity to call folks. Maybe you disagree, God, listen, it's
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: kind of open for me. Okay, now it is open
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: for him here five one, three, seven, fifty eighth two
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: three topee right back with Rob Ryder his guitar and
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: more calls or just idle banter. As we celebrate the
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: Christmas season.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 4: Your news is here, all of it.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 10: It's happening right now.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: Your Christmas music.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 26: Oh calm all ye faithful, joyful and triumph.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 9: And oh Colm, oh calm ye to bad come man,
• 2:00:24

• 2:00:29
  Speaker 26: King of it jells, Oh come leta sad him. Oh
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 26: calm letter sad. Oh come yet, let us do.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 9: Crime O.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 4: I apologize for the mister, your mortal.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 3: Mortal certainly rob her.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: And he has, like me, subject to make a mistakes
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: from time to time.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 4: That's okay, I've made I think I made more mistakes
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 4: than right decisions.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, you made some pretty good
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: right decisions.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 4: And with that a shout out to my wife and
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 4: to mine who is I know that is listening. She
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 4: texted me, good morning Jill, Good morning Jill, and good
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 4: morning Paul Att.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, married out of my league. Kick I'll kick my
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: coverage done. It's helped me out immeasurably. Thirty three talk
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: about marrying up for both of us. I know smart
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: men do that. You pack yourself on the back for
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: that decision. So in spite of the fact that all
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: of the collective failures in your life, and we could
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: go through hours and hours and hours of them, he
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: came out on top.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 4: Thank God, and thank Jill.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Let's see what Jim's got this morning. Jim,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling, Welcome to the Morning Show, and Merry Christmas,
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: et cetera.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 17: Good morning, Brian. Just like to dispute what that last
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 17: fellow said. Okay, it's there's mentioned mentioned several times in
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 17: the New Testaments by James and Paul, at least those two,
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 17: that faith without works is dead, that it's not just
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 17: having belief in God, and get you say, you actually
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 17: have to try to live the faith.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: Living the Christian faith, you know, somewhere on that kind
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: of stuff and helping out and you know, yeah, I
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: can understand that faith.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 4: Without works is dead. But we are responsible then to
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 4: live our lives as Christ would have us live them
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 4: and love others like ourselves.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 15: Correct.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: There you go. See, these are matters of theology. So
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to defer to Rob Ryder for all that.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: And and you, Jim as well as Jay. We all
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: have our perceptions of faith and how what we believe
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: the Word says. And you know, I was thinking about
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: the concept of marriage. If you believe in God and
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: you are making a pledge to God, you have made
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: a pledge to God. You don't need a minister at
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: i'm i'm a pre or a rabbi or anybody in
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: front of you presiding over it. The commitment is not
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: to them, it's to God. So the state intervenes because
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: of course we need to deal with parents having children
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: and providing for those. You know, the spouses when you separate.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: Women used to not work and so they didn't have means,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: and guys would just walk out, move the other side
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: of town before the internet, and start a new family
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: and they would never cross paths again. So women were
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: left destitute. So you have to have some sort of
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: provision for keeping women taken care of. Of course, we
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: fast forward to modern society. Sometimes the women of the
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: soul bread winners and men are things have changed. There's
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: still that contractual obligation that is an obligation that the
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: state has to acknowledge your wedding and to protect you
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: in times of disputes and separation divorce. But in the
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: final analysis, you know, the only the only breaches you
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: made is breach of your promise to your spouse, and
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: of course that promise you made to God. You got
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: to wrestle with that. States not necessary to ching, So
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: you're okay with that analysis. Rob, Well, yeah, I mean,
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I got married and in the cotel of
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: the Ritz Carlton by a judge. So that's kind of
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: my perception.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 4: It was, we had a big wedding, jill An idea
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 4: was wonderful, that's gorgeous and and that's but but we
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 4: have survived now going on fourteen years between us with
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 4: with I am a very fortunate man. There you go
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 4: to be married, and.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: So don't you and your wife enrich each other? See
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: that's that's my view of marriage. I like to think
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: it's so much easier to navigate the challenges of life
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: when you got the right spouse. You're sharing expenses, you're
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: cutting things in half in terms of, you know, the
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: living expenses. It helps obviously when you have kids, two
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: is better than one. It's a little difficult to have
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: a child with one person. Of course, I understand adoption,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: but you get where I'm going. Everything make everything works better.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: Plus you have all the other you know, perks and
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: benefits go along with being married. You know what I'm saying.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: Come to thirty six drive Cars Station.
• 2:05:05

• 2:06:11
  Speaker 4: sing any.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 3: You know how high was he?
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 4: He was high enough he could go dug hunting with
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 4: a rake.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: That's high.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 4: That's high.
• 2:06:22

  Speaker 1: And thank you to all the folks that have been
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: chiming in. I I the the internet has been on
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: and off this morning, and so all the folks that
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: sent me instant messages throughout this morning wishing Rob and
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: me merry Christmas and all that. I really really appreciate it.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: They're just kind of popping up now since our internet
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: has been down most of the morning five on three
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: seven two three Talk found five fifty on AT and
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: T phones. Yes, I had been thinking of my dad
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: all morning, not just because we did the Holiday fruitcake
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: and the how the Elf get on the Christmas Tree? Uh,
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: those are both on the podcast page fifty five Casey
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: dot com. Facebook threw up at a memory from eight
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: years ago yesterday and I repost that it was a
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: picture of my Dad and I were our Santa hats
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: on in the old studio hallway and just put a
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: big smile on my face because we had such a
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: wonderful time. And as Rob and I figured out, Rob's
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: been coming in and we've been doing this for more
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: than twenty years, more than I've been on the radio,
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: because I would come in at Christmas time from time
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: to time to do the show with Dad. And at
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: the end of my nineteenth year in radio.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 4: Right now, I'll tell you what's scary, Brian, is that
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 4: my first paid appearance on the Bob Braun Show was
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 4: in September of nineteen seventy, so we're talking fifty oh
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 4: fifty five years Ago.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you earlier. I was five years old
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: when you made your debut, and you still look younger
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: than me. Joe wasn't born yet. He was chimed in
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: Joe was not born yet. Joe Strecker, Executi producer, internet
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: research guru and all around great gott Indeed, I don't
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: know have you heard me this morning? I started out
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: the program talking about these weird holiday traditions around the world.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 1: So if you're listening to five o'clock, apologies for going
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: over this. I just found this so puzzling. What we
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: could probably you know, extrapolate on the religious conversations we
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: were having a moment ago and talk about, you know,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: like the Easter bunny. I've always found baffling. How the
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: hell did Easter start being associated with a bunny that
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: gave eggs out? And I've heard stories of that effect.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, none of them wash with me. None of
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: them suggest that I need to embrace the idea of
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: a rabbit, because there's something more profound going on. The
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: motivation the reason that we acknowledge Easter and celebrated, Yes,
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: the moving target that it is, which is always bactly
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: December twenty fifth. When's Christmas December twenty.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 4: Fifth, Yeah, that's when we celebrate it.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: When's Easter, right, you know, you never know. It moves
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: around all over the place. So anyway, but the whole
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: Easter bunny thing. Get a load of this, the the
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: the pooping log. I've never heard of it because you
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: don't live in Catalonia, Catalona, the the the beloved. This
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: is just read these sentence from the Associated Press article
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: about the various weird traditions that are going on in
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: the world and have been going on for a long
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: long time. Cataloon or Catalan custom involves a wooden log
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: decorated with a face, that is fed treats throughout December
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: and kept warm under a blanket. All right, You got
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: the visual in your head, logs face on it, stuffing
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: it with with candies and stuff throughout the December, and
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: I guess keeping it covered by a blanket, exactly, Joe.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: So once Christmas Eve arrives, children and I'm just reading
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: what I'm told here, children beat the log with sticks
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: and sing traditional songs. I guess Catalonia is traditional songs
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: whatever they happen to be. To coax it into pooping
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: candy and gifts, hence the pooping log. Yeah, it's like
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: a pinata. But how does that connect to relate to Christmas?
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 4: It doesn't?
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, well I think not.
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 4: What does black Friday have to do with Christmas?
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: And how about this one the article? The folks at
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: AP think it's the creepiest Christmas custom marry luid l
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: w y d And if you can come up with
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: prounciation for that, that's okay.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just going with what I'm reading here, and I
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: can stumble through this word seems like it's missing a
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: con a vow. Although why maybe it's elwid l wid Yeah,
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna go with that, okay. So mariray Elwood
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: centuries old tradition featuring a horse skull dressed up with
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: ribbons and mounted on a pole. No, okay, Origins of
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: mary Elwood predate Christianity, it says, but in Wales that's
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: where they celebrate this. It's a beloved tradition now intricately
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: linked to Christmas. Ba right, well, singers performers. This mury
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: Elwood thing visits homes, pubs and other gathering places. So
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: perhaps like a day ending and why it serves as
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: an excuse to go around and have a good time
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: and maybe hang out at some pubs.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 4: Well, we can well just think of the days that
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 4: we celebrate in like National Radio Day or National whatever
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 4: it happens to be. Everybody's got to find a reason
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 4: to celebrate something's every day. Otherwise life becomes so mundane,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 4: so routine, so boring. We all want to end our lives.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: Or maybe if we were more appreciative of just the
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: mere gift of life and the fact we got out
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: of bed in the morning, we would just be in
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: a celibratory mood all the time, just because we're here.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: We live in the United States of America.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 4: Now you're talking, that's why I figured, that's I just don't.
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 4: I don't see. I get in a shower in the morning,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 4: and we have a wonderful shower at our place. It
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 4: just gets warm and it stays right. But I get
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 4: in that shower and I think I am a one percenter.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you looking at the world population and the glory
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: and the decadence that is a hot shower on demand.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: I never ever take that for granted, my friend.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 4: Either, I know, I come out of my studio when
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 4: I've been reading an audiobook or whatever it happens to be,
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 4: and I think I am sitting here in a room
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 4: that I was able to help design myself. That sounds great.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 4: And I walk out and I have my bride upstairs,
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 4: who loves me no matter how idiotic I perform act
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 4: at times. Yeah, and I'm thinking I am a blessed man. Yeah,
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 4: Merry Christmas every day.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: What a gift it really is. I agree with you completely.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: And this comes on the heels of a day yesterday
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: where I had to apologize my off to my wife
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: for being a jerk. See it does happen, but I
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: was sincere in my apology. I know, Joe, I know
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: a forty my wife's going. Yeah, I know a forty seven.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: Right now for you, City Oxations, a few more minutes

• 2:13:48
  Speaker 9: oh is right.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 4: Roundon fogin Chinely fan so tameder and my sleep bevenly
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 4: sleep been findly.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: Truly beautiful, Rob Rider, And for the couple plus decades
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: we have been doing this Christmas special, I think you've
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: always ended on that one.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 4: That has been kind of traditional on my lists that
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 4: I've made.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, beautiful song, it really is. I think it
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: just summarizes Christmas so well. Yeah, Rob, it has been
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: such a pleasure having you in here, keeping me company
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: and keeping the listeners entertained. I hope. So anyway, trust me,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: I realize how somewhat frivorless frivorless and lighthearted the program was.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think I talked about really anything political except
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: for one or two sort of comments. You know, it's
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: nice getting away from it as we get into the
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: holiday spirit and keeping the holiday spirit. It's hard to
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: keep the holiday spirit and the celebrate celebratory mood and
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 1: the feeling of joy that we should be feeling right
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: now when you're talking about all the just obvious craziness, stupidity,
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: political violence, actual violence, wars past, the pestilence, famine, national debt.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can go on for hours and hours
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: and hours about the bad things, but today we just
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: left it all alone.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 15: We did.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 4: Indeed, and people say Jesus is the reason for the season.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 4: Some people say we're the reason for the season because
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 4: Jesus was a gift from God to us. And then
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 4: when you follow Jesus through his ministry and what he
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 4: did on the cross for us, it's all that we
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 4: might be reconciled to him and be loved by our father,
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 4: and love our father, and then love others as we
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 4: love ourselves, and to love others as we would want
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 4: to be treated. That Golden rule is so very important.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: And to love others transcends people. I mean, it transcends religion.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: It's other people, period, not other people who are Christian, right,
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: I mean going back to this whole scary craziness we
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: have going on with anti Semitism, you know, and I
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: think about that. I just never have understood it now,
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: the hatred of a human being based upon their race
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: or perhaps their religion, but either way, it's just absolutely
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 1: outright wrong.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 4: So try not to be that guy, you know what
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, love one another. That can boil it down.
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 4: You know, that thick Bible we have, We could talk
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 4: about pre trib post trib all those things. How you
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 4: baptize somebody, and it all boils down to love as well.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: It should in this time of year. Let's just dwell
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: on that very positive message from Rob Ryder there. So
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: thank you and God bless you Rob, and to your
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: beautiful wife, hope you both have a wonderful, wonderful holiday season.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: Understand to be separated for a little while. She's going
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: out traveling somewhere and.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 4: Want to be in Chicago with one of her with
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 4: one of her kids families, so we'll be split up
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 4: a little bit. I got a daughter coming in from Bali,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 4: Indonesia on Christmas afternoon. Bali, that's where she lives.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a wild experience.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 4: And she's lived there for I think about she's owned
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 4: a place there for probably going on six years now.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 4: And she's coming back on Christmas afternoon and Cray and
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 4: she and I are going to dinner at one of
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 4: the few places that are open that is open on
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day, Asian Paris in Paradise. We ate there.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Last year. I mentioned that earlier this story about all
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: the activities going on to Christmas, that there's weird characters.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: I reference in that article was a discussion of how
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: the Jewish community ends up knowing and embracing Chinese food
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: because they used to live next to each other in
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: they and since neither celebrated the Christmas holiday, it made
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: it really easy for Jewish people to go over and
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: get the Chinese food at the Chinese restaurant. We did
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: that last year Asian Paradise. That's so funny.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 4: Roy and Rainbow, the owners are good friends. We've had
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 4: dinner with them and on one to night they were
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 4: closed and just it's a great place and it's the
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 4: biggest menu ever. Yeah, and it breaks the necessity of
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 4: having to cook another turkey.
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that we're having a standing ribros. I
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: just got the text from the meat store where I'm
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: picking it up as soon as I leave the morning show.
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: That's a tradition in our family and I'm going to
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: stick with that one. Although we really got a kick
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: out of the It was like a Christmas story, you
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: know that the movie at the ten when they're at
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: the Chinese restaurants. A lot of fun folks from Rob
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: myself and Executi, producer, internet research guru, all around great
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: guy Joe Strecker. Couldn't do the show without Joe Strecker.
• 2:18:47
