Saying, sure, there's Jack Crumley in news. Sure it's me sterlings trying to make sense of this crazy world we're living in. But it's still the weekend, right, and the cold weather is upon us, the frozen hundra. Sure it doesn't seem like that's the case. Now it's in the forties, the winds blowing like crazy. As Lance McCallister hits the road adding home and a big high profile tractors and trailers there with no load, you're going to be blowing all over the road driving down seventy one. I had to bob and weave as people not paying attention or wind gust and everything else. And then sooner than later, the wicked, evil cold. We'll talk on how to protect your home from some of the obvious issues with that as the cold weather presents itself as it's expected this time of year, and a whole lot of NFL football playoff action coming up this weekend, of course, and people in Kansas City will be talking like so many here in the Freezer Bowl about cold and needing cardboard to insulate from the concrete under their feet and freezing and how will the fish of South Florida out of Miami Fair with that, no one really knows. I guess that's why we'll listen. That's why we'll watch, and we'll have to wait and see. Well there be prop bets available on like how many like frozen digits and frostbite issues they'll be Is that legal? I don't know how that plays out. We'll have to wait and see. Lots to do tonight, though, Kevin Carr going to join us. We'll talk on weekend movies, streaming and getting out of the house if you want to venture to a theater, which I think is a great experience most of the time, unless you're stuck with somebody next to you on their phone talking loud or it smells. I had that happen a week or two ago. Someone says it was as if they should have showered. That's all I'm going to say. I don't know if they came in from the outside and thought it was a place to rest, didn't know. I don't know how that happens. It would not be considered a special talent, except maybe to drive people away. Thankfully there was room to hide. Anyway. We'll talk to Kevin later on. To start something unusual and I think this qualifies is that most of the time in life, when you think famous people, you think people that are you know somebody, whether it's a Cincinnati football Bengal, it's a Cincinnati read, it's an actor or a musician, whatever else it happens to be. You know them for what they're known for, but not necessarily something else from left field. Possibly that is a special, unusual talent, not necessarily unusual, but not in their wheelhouse of specialty. Possibly I want to open up the phone, see if we can have a little bit of fun with this five one, three, seven, four ninety seven thousand, eight hundred to the Big One. If you're on X, not the pharmaceutical drug thing like from the nineties, but at Sterling Radio on what was known as Twitter now X, you can get interactive that way, or click on that iHeartRadio app microphone if you're streaming, and you can leave a message there. This is what I'm thinking. What is your unusual, not in your wheelhouse talent that other people might not know, A surprising talent I suppose would qualify as that. And a list of celebrities was a great story from BuzzFeed about that that sort of got me thinking about it. Steve Martin, comedian actor. I don't know that it's so surprising because I remember seeing video of him doing stand up back in the day. But he's come through Cincinnati and actually played his banjo in his band, which has been something that he's been doing for a long long time. But initially you think movie star, you think comedian, not necessarily banjo. That's one of those. Kelly Cuoco she of course from the TV show of Huge Success. Now she does a bunch of ads for travel and everything else that sort of goes with it. And she's got she's a questrian like expert or whatever else. She's riding horses in performance, not just an actor. That's unusual. That's sort of strange in a way to work the brain in a different way. A lot of actors, I guess, maybe have different skills that they had training in, or ways they've made money that could be a little unusual or strange. Mark Ruffalo certainly a big time movie actor at this point. And I had a neighbor who did this when I was a kid, which is riding a unicycle. Now, Mark Raffalo probably has lots of friends and so forth. My neighbor, I think he ended up going to clown school, like legitimately clown school, because he had a head start because he rode a unicycle. When I was a little I could barely ride a regular two wheeled bike just getting training wheels off. But he was rolling around in a unicycle. And depending on where you were at the time as a kid, and maybe even now, that might be unusual enough or strange enough to catch a beating, just because sometimes kids are not necessarily the nicest to sort of go along with that. Nick Opferman, who's been in a bunch of different shows over the years, a big time actor and so forth. He's a woodworker. Firstly, that's a big deal. That's gotten a bunch of attention making kayaks or boats, canoes, that type of thing. That's sort of a big deal. An unusual Christina Hendricks who was in Madmen, I played Joan Harris, and I remember seeing this in that series and I wondered if that was her really playing or if that was something that they sort of just had for the character and they overdubbed sound. But she really knows how to play the accordion. That is an unusual talent, an unusual gift. Well, this is nice. Max just messaged me at the Sterling Radio on X and he says, what's yours? Okay, Well, what's my talent? I don't know if this is much of a talent or not, but I have always and I think it's probably because I grew up listening to the big one. I grew up listening to radio. You know. I was one of those kids who had the radio in the bedroom, and then eventually I had like aluminum foil that I used around with the antenna that I wrapped around the corners and edges of the ceiling in the walls to be able to get stations in from all over the place. So I was always listening to people from all over a lot of times here, which is weird because now I end up behind this very microphone too, and my ability to hear and recognize voices not necessarily if someone's putting a voice on and trying to act like somebody else or what have you know who the real person is. But let's say, for instance, there's a lot of big time actors now sometimes even athletes to do voiceovers just for commercials on radio or television. And I will regularly in the past it was like a thing where I could make money. We'd bet on it. I was like, I think that's so and so, like I don't know, and then you look up and you find out that, like I think there's an ad now for a cell phone service, and they have some on screen actors that are doing one bit of a camera work and endorsement stuff. But Iggy Pop was from Detroit, originally one of the stooges. He's doing the voiceover for this big time cell phone company, which I think is hilarious and awesome. Good for him from making the money. And I was telling that to a few people. I made like fifty bucks on that betting because they were like, no, I don't think he'd do that firstly, and then they were like, oh, I don't think it's him anyway, And sure enough it is him and clearly he did it. And I ended up getting lunch, which is a nice thing. Nice lunch. Five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred. The big one. Do you have or what is? I should say you're unusual or surprising, hidden talent, something you'd do that others would be shocked that you do, or unusual sort of circumstance, quick break, come back, lots to do on a windy Friday night.

Mercedes Benz of Fort Mitchell presents ulw oh before we get to the nine first one and forecast big wind and cold coming. Just so you know, that's nice, White Stripes, thank you, mister McMahon. Unusual talent or surprising talent, A good way to work a different part of your brain. Maybe a plan B if you will Jack White from White Stripes and on his own of course, in a handful of other projects. Plus mister Vinyl you saw bring Vinyl back is he's a polsterer of furniture, upholstery guy. He like Repolster's furniture, which is huge. And I don't know if that's really a lost art, but it seemed like when I as a kid coming up, I remember, and I don't know if it was because it was in the store where my mom worked, which was a furniture store, and they would talk about Probably is where I talked or heard people talk about, like reupholstering furniture, putting different materials on them or whatever else. I don't hear that from a whole lot of people anymore. But I'm also not at a furniture store very often except when I'm actually shopping, So that's a different kind of I guess talent, if you will, or vocation or whatever it is. I think a lot of people have different stuff like that that sort of plays into it, whatever it might be for you. Five point three seven four nine, seven eight hundred The Big One Night first winning forecast of rain and snow and wind, moving to just a cold tonight down to twenty four. It'll warm up to thirty two for our Saturday clouds. Temperature drops to eleven eleven fahrenheit degrees Sunday, sixteen twenty one on Monday with a low of nine, and it continues throughout a lot of the week with lows in the single digits basically through I think Wednesday, if I'm not mistaken, like a low of five, which any way you look at that is uncomfortable. I would unless you're inside right now, though it seems inconceivable other than with the big wind it's forty seven. It's your Severe Weather Station seven hundred WLW conversation with Kevin Carr about what's new at the movies and worth your time streaming coming up after your nine point thirty report, and a number of other things we want to get to is welldernight. Also we'll have some sound. I talked about this last night, Jelly Roll big Time. I don't know if you call him a rockstar, country music artist, whatever it is, used to be a drug dealer and ended up being locked up a whole lot of times. When an early part of his life actually testified in front of Congress yesterday, I think it was the day before, and really just I don't know if i'd say profound is appropriate. I had a few people responding to my comments on it last night said that they thought he was profound. So if they think so, maybe so. But her perspective and his experience talking about the opioid epidemic and fentanyl and wanting to be a part of the solution rather than being a villain or part of the problem, that certainly across this country and around the world, there's no shortage of people dealing with this, but that every day there's in the neighborhood of one hundred and fifty to two hundred people who die of overdoses in the United States. That's like a big aircraft crashing, which he sort of makes allusion to, and the fact that there would be a lot, maybe more attention or talk about it in some ways if it was that and more spectacular end for people rather than just overdosing. But we'll talk on that a bit later too. So there's some stuff happening with it. Also, if I don't know if you've heard this or about this or not, with the NFL playoffs this weekend, what is coming up fairly fast and is always something that gets some attention, and it has for I guess they've been doing it probably what fifteen years, maybe twenty At this point the Puppy Bowl, they got a new angle on this. It's dogs with special needs, which is interesting, I think in a wonderful idea and maybe perhaps it will help with some adoption situations depending which is kind of nice. I don't know if it's going to play out to be maybe a Gawker TV or something along those lines. In some ways for some people, it could very well be. I hope that's not the case, but if it is, it is what it is. I guess there's a used term too much, but it is the twentieth Puppy Bowl that's going to be happening, which is wild. Coming up February eleventh, they'll i have over one hundred and thirty puppies, which is going to be the largest group of dogs that they have had to this point in any Puppy Bowl going on, and it's involving pets that are competing. They have two different teams, seventy three shelters rescues across thirty six states and territories, which is kind of awesome. But it's going to be dog dogs that have different issues, different problems, the death dogs, dogs that don't have like all four of their legs, depending for one reason or another. So I think, you know, you're going to see that they're still lovable and they're still able to get around. They're still going to have a quality of life, which is tremendous and what you'd hope for. But you know, the only twist of this is that if you did that type of thing with humans, people would lose their mind. They would say that it's opportunistic, that it's taking advantage, that it's somehow, you know, being a ridiculing opportunity where And I don't know if that's true. I had this conversation with a buddy of mine earlier, and he was like, there's no way they could do that. It would be wrong. And I suppose it's how you frame it and how you look at it. Like I think with the dog stuff, it's fantastic. I think it's wonderful and maybe to get some people going to some shelters and some rescues and given some dogs a look that wouldn't normally have that opportunity to find a forever home be cared for because they're going to be a little extra work possibly, But that doesn't mean they don't have great heart, they don't have great pat They're just not everything you want in a pet. Now, the other side of that is if you had kids that needed adoption, that were special needs, and you had a special needs bowl of kids being shown in that fashion, I think people would look at that as an offensive, over the top manner of which to try to raise attention. But if it could get some kids out of foster care, if it could get some kids adopted, would that be a benefit? Would that be something good? My buddy, and I've been reluctant to say this, he says, Look every weekend, he says, you see these infomercial type commercial scenarios, and he's right, where you see other kids who have gone to hospitals to get special care, including, by the way, one of my cousin's kids who had a terrible issue with cancer and got care for free and ability to have a family stay. And at this point, Knockwood is healthy and everything else and hope that last we can only hope and we're suffering and so forth. But if they did the same thing and showcased it the same way as they're talking about with the Puppy Bowl, people would be pretty disturbed, I think overall by that type of presentation. I could be wrong, and I think people may be that way about the pets, but I say, you know, more power to them if it can help some people out or whatever. And some days in some games in the past anyway, the Puppy Bowl has been maybe more exciting than the actual Super Bowl, but we got a ways to get there before. That's the case. Something else too, in case you missed it, And I'm mentioning this because I only touched on it a little bit, and it's sort of monumental, monumental Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, Nick Saban, and I'm sure Lance was all over this yesterday, certainly because that's what he does. But when you think of the longevity of coaches in certain places, whether it's Alabama, whether it's in Seattle, and the success there would Peet Carol, Bill Belichick in New England with the Patriots, and I got a buddy of mine, his daughters. One's out of college now and the other one, I think she might be a junior or a senior, and they have only and they're big Patriots fans. Even though he's from here and they live up in the Northeast. That is the only coach they have known for over two decades, which is so insane. And then there are other places that have had multiple coaches and multiple years for multiple years in a row, which is not a way to probably you build a winner, but sort of an unusual circumstance that sort of goes along with that, which is kind of wild. If I went three, seven, four, nine, eight hundred, the big one, the phone number, your chance to get interactive, you're hitting talent or surprising talent that goes with it. And uh, let me see here, I'm checking to refresh this. Let's say I had some message here about there it is it's Alex, but I don't think it's our Alex. They got another Alex that always messages me. I'm right about the puppy bowl. Well, thank you for that pad on the back. I appreciate it. And hidden talent plays the kazoo. Do people really still play the kazoo? It's sort of like the recorder. I think right in elementary school, that was the thing in music appreciation or music class is they had these little recorders which looks like a straight flute or something along those lines. Kazoos makes sense. I don't know exactly what it is, and you got to gotta come into it or something. I guess that's a talent, Alex. I'm not hating on you, and I have an ear that's about the only special talent, and I don't even know how much of a special talent it is at this point. AI may make me being able to identify voices just by sound and short order on commercials or elsewhere, I could be obsolete. Not that it's like a you know, a revenue generating, big time business opportunity, but it is one of those things that's out there. So we'll have to see about that. As Sterling radio on X or Twitter formally, certainly five pet three seven four nine, seven, eight hundred the big one. This is an and we'll get into dumb lawsuit stuff later. There's a guy who's asking for one hundred million dollars from Walmart or it's either or unlimiting free lifetime shopping, which yeah, I don't. You'd have to just take a whole store to make up that kind of money. I'll explain exactly what that's about a little bit later. Well. Also, as I said, on the other side of your nine thirty news talk movie stuff with Kevin Carr, Fat Guys at the Movies, my partner in the Chubby and Stick podcast, So there is that coming up as well. There are a lot of trends too. We'll get into trend stuff and stuff that has gotten big, that has gotten popular, that has gotten lots of attention, that maybe you could do without, that you either a don't understand or couldn't care less about, and that you wish would go far, far away and never to be heard from again. Which there's a lot of layers to that and how that could certainly play out if that's something that you're dealing with. But that is something that's pretty strong and also some edible issue. And I don't mean drugs, that's not what I'm talking about. I have found myself in the last week eating something apparently fairly repetitively, and I did not realize it, and I think I could probably do it every day. And it used to be at a store where I would make a stop on the way to work. It was almost ritualistic. The way people have made fun of me with my big iced teas that have switched to coffee but this I can do out of the house. This I can do in the house, making it on my own. So we'll talk about good stuff that you can eat every single day for a week or more. And it could even include college stuff, which I know a lot of people have eaten their share of Ramen noodles in a fast, short order for extended periods of time. So there you go. Nine thirty report. I think it's Jack Crumley. If I'm not mistaken, give us an hing of what's going on around the tri state. Big wind, cold weather coming. It is, it is, it is. I don't know if you're prepared.

Blow is going to push across Chicago the backside that brings in the cold air, and that heavy rain is going to be pushed up across the Northeast as well, but with some coastal floody with some wind as well. Not quite as bad as what we had earlier in the week, but certainly the potential for seeing some floody temperatures above freezing that we're seeing right now not going to last in the Tri State. We're looking at rain to continue off and on turning into some snow tonight, with a low in the twelve and wind gusts up to fifty miles an hour until tomorrow morning. The city of Cincinnati will have rec centers open tomorrow as warming centers during the day. By Sunday, it'll be highs in the teens. More coming up now, though the latest traffic and weathered together got some good news in earlier crash northbound seventy five right around the Western Hills Viaduct that's no longer causing any problems, and the Jackknife semi that was westbound seventy four west of the one twenty eight exit to Miami Town that appears to have been cleared.

State leaders are changing the transportation rules in Kentucky for the rest of the month because of the weather. Truck drivers are being alerted to a suspension of some of Kentucky's restrictions for carriers of gas, diesel, propane, fuel oil, and relief supplies. This is a temporary suspension, according to the Kentucky Transportation Secretary, Jim Gray. They're trying to be proactive since dangerous weather could impact travel. The order relieves commercial drivers from maximum driving times and waste station stops if transporting approved relief supplies. This order is effective until January thirty.

Do you have water in your basement, standing water in your yard, or structural issues? Call here? The cold weather is here. Maybe you're not going to go streaming. Maybe you'll actually bust out before the real wicket cold comes and check out, you know, a movie or two. In between that and playoff football sans the Thangals. Don't get me going Kevin Carr, fat guys at the movies. How are you are you prepared for the cold in the What is coming? I guess it's January and Ohio in the Tri State. What do you expect? Well, Juniuary everywhere right now. To be honest, that's true. My bad. I didn't realize that I'm monkered down. I'm ready for the cold War. I personally love the cold weather because it's it's quiet. When it's one out, nobody is doing leaf blowing. I hadn't thought of that. So in other words, your loud neighbors are forced to go inside and be loud to themselves. Yeah, well, it's like and it's for everything. Nobody's doing construction, nobody's doing yard work, and nobody's leaving it hopefully not leaving their dogs out there to bark for an hour and a half. That's true. The dog goes bark, bark, and then it's like, I'm done and wants to go back in. That I do all too well. My dog looked at me earlier even he went out. He hit the big tree and then turned around and was back to the door before I could even scan the rest of the yard. He was like, you can stay, but I'm going in. Yeah. But then you know, then they're like, well, wait, I'm gonna have to go out again in ten minutes. Correct, well wait, he let me in so I can go out again. You know that that's the way dogs work. But even the dogs, they they know it's too cold to mess around. So, I mean, every the world's I feel bad for dogs. Sometimes they don't. They don't. You know, you got to go and you to do it. You have to be efficient in your plumbing or it's gonna be uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah, it's on demand. I mean, it's really the all time, forever and always on demand. Was once we started bringing them inside, they had to do it outside or else. Yeah, that's true, all right, So if you still have to figure out litter boxes and bathrooms. Cats cats are cats have really pulled the wool over everybody's eyes because they're like, we will peet and do our business in one area of the house. It's still gonna smell like we're doing it everywhere, but trust me, we'll just keep it to this one place. They are very neat usually, and they don't like dirty that's true, all right, So if the dog is stuck inside, but we're going to venture out what's at the theater that's worth the like actually dealing with the nasty weather such that it is to to see anything. I mean, this is that weird time, right? Or are we into the like all the good movies are coming out before awards? No, no, no, I mean right now we're still kind of adultrums. It's a bigger movie week this week because there are some big releases. But yeah, you had the big stuff come out last year. There are some there are some stuff that got moved because of the labor disputes, but those aren't going to start really hitting until March. But right now, the big movie for this weekend is Mean Girls. Oh yeah, you're a huge fan. Well yeah, well they made that how long ago? The original twenty years ago? And I know you've been cosplaying Regina George ever since, you know when you Yeah, can I support you? Gotta have a hobby. Gotta have a hobby. My time is my time. Man, don't hate on me, no, no, no, it's all good. So it's a yeah, the original movie came out twenty years ago and then they made a Broadway musical, and now this is the movie of the Broadway musical. Not everybody knows that because the trailers don't necessarily telegraph that it's a music but there are definitely song and dance numbers in this. Okay. What's interesting, Well, the story is if you for those who don't know what the story is, it's about this girl who goes to high school for the first time because she'd been homeschool and lived abroad, and she gets involved in this this whole popularity click and the ups and downs of that. It's it's the scripts by Tina Fey. She did the original script and she did this script. I'd like to give a job like that, pay me twenty dollars, you know, every twenty years to do the same thing. And that's the I've never actually seen the original movie, so wow, it was undique. How was it that I've seen it? It wasn't. There's Lindsay lohand there was you mentioned Tina fa She's and Amanda Seyfreid or say I forget how to say her name, Amana say free It's got a lot of the same people involved, and it's an updated version of it. And this is really made for the fans. Like I said, I seen the original, so it was a unique way of watching this because you know, I was coming in completely cold, right, And I mean, it's fine. It works, it's funny, it has some good moments. It has a nice song of dance numbers, although they do I think at times draw away from the story and the movie itself, but that's that's that's musicals for you. And I have my complaints about it patentic and I'm not the target market. I mean, I'm obviously not having seen the original movie. I'm not a big fan of it, but I've been telling people love there. I never saw it. I think there were conflicting screenings that night because I was doing film reviews back then. But I think, what's if I recall, it just was a movie that was coming out and then it did very well, and suddenly people were like, this is actually a really good movie. You should check it out. So it wasn't like, you know, like Barbie, everybody knew Barbie was gonna be big coming up to it. I take Barbie as a because it does have sort of that connective tissue to it, and certainly the difference to the same color palette. But that's I think what happened with the original. So by the time it became a big hit, you know, it sort of like the time to review it had already passed. Gotcha, Well this is new one, though, if you're in the market for it, right, or if you're in that target demo or taking kids that are or forced into seeing it, regardless of the way you look at it, I mean, you hope it's not painful. That's the thing. As a parent or an adult with younger wins. How many movies do you sit through that you're like, boy, this is misery? And how many to go, oh there are this isn't actually half bad? Yeah, no, there's there's a different version of there's a different way of watching movies. If you are a parent with your kids. This is not a little kid movie. It is PG. Thirteen, so most likely your kids. If your kids are wanting to see this movie, they don't want you sitting with them during this. But yeah, keep that in mind. There is some some humor in there, and jokes that are not are aimed at the high school audience, not the great school audience. What else is out there? I mean, because otherwise I mean the streaming at home. I mean, the list is absolutely endless. But I just love going to the movies. It's fun. It's there are things I blow hot and cold on movies because I have to go so much business. Yeah, and so it's like, and I was thinking about this once, the biggest problem with with the crowds of a movie is it only takes a couple a holes in the theater to really kind of ruin it. It only takes two or three people or just one person on their phone in the front row. That's gonna make it a pain for everybody. And that's that's that's unfortunately the way a lot of things are in this world that you can have five hundred people behaving themselves and one or two people not then and it becomes a bad experience. Uh So, aniquids were like, I went to a movie this week and I think it was like I was, I was in the front, so there was almost a fight in the back. I don't know what was really. This is a screen or just a regular screen like showing well you usually it doesn't happen on a regular skin, although I've seen I've seen some fights break out in a regular early screening but this was one of those. AMC has this thing it's called screen Unseen where you buy a ticket blind and then you show up and then the movie, whatever the movie is, is and it's like a sneak preview of something that's cool. So yeah, So, I mean it's a neat thing to do, but you know, it's it's they tend to be heavier screens. They tend to have more people in them. And I love going to the movies. When the greatest thing in the world is if you walk in a movie theater and it starts and nobody else is in there. Dude, I am telling you. Yeah, the Summer of Stirling when when I first left Cincinnati went to work in Columbus, fight Club came out American Beauty. I'm trying to think there were two or three others, and I did the night show, so I I saw Mattine movies and then I got to know check out baseball with the Clippers there in Red's Baseball, and it was like the best summer of my life, almost as an adult. Anyway. Oh yeah, like I said, I or and then then what's terrible is if you're in the movie and you're the only one there, and then as the trailers are finishing, some other jerk comes in and sits like right in front of you, and seriously, there's an fair whole whole whole place. So but but yeah, I mean it's so it's, uh, the any sort of experience where you're dealing with other people as unknowns. It's just people. When did you start sounding like me? Is that why we've gotten along all these years? I've never realized And just I'm listening to you going into real people this and I'm like, you're describing people. Well, it's one of those things like like the the idea of people I'm okay with. I mean, I'm fine with people out there, just not near you. Yeah, I totally get it. I have. If I could get them out of my head, that would be a whole other story. Oh my goodness. Well you know that's that's that's a talk to somebody else about that one. Yeah, I think that my co payment. I don't know what that is. I got to check for this season anyway. So what else is there? Is there anything else actually out in theaters? I mean I mean that we want to go see that's brand new. Well, there's two other new movies out there. Well, there's The Beekeeper, which is Jason Stathum action movie. I've not seen it. They didn't screen that. I didn't give an opportunity to see it, but it's it's Jason Stathum January action movie. I love all that stuff, you know what I mean. I do find them fun. Yeah, I mean Jason Stathum has been known for doing some garbage, but you know, his his January stuff sometimes tends to be good. There's also one called The Book of Clarence. Oh, I've seen the trailers for that. What is that about? That's that's a real mixed bag because it's sort of like the story it's about what, well, a slacker, but I mean this takes place during the time of Jesus in Jerusalem, so whatever that era's version of a slacker is, that's what it's about. And he's he's sort of this con man. He's trying to make his way in life. It is. He's it's sort of like a It starts off kind of like a Friday movie, maybe Good Friday, you know, because you know it's takes place some type of cheese, so it's uh, and he decides to his names Clarence and he decides to mimic being the Messiah and thinking he can find that that's a way to sort of swindle people out of money, and and then it kind of snowballs and it kind of turns into this thing and uh, he's dealing with the consequences of that and and so but it goes from being that sort of silly movie and then it like takes these these sharp turns into very serious, uh contemplations and deconstruction of religion and what what's it means to present yourself a certain way? And can you become what you say you're gonna be? And so there's it's very heavy at times, and that's kind of in conflict with itself. It's jarring going from the overt comedy to that very serious stuff. I mean, like, it's not that you can't do it. You know. Myny Python did it with this very topic in Life of Brian. That's right, and that's a brilliant movie, it really is. But this one it's at odds with itself and it makes it very frustrating to watch. Okay, well, I don't know, I have enough frustration in my life. But something anyway, I think I'd read, and I don't know if maybe I'm delusional. I should have looked it up before I even mentioned it. That's called show prep. Jay Z has a hand in this, either as a producer or is his music in it or both or something. I mean, I don't know if I produced it, I put my music in it. Well, yeah, it's it's a it's a very man a low sound check. No, it's jay Z's involved in because Jane Samuels is the director. He did a movie called The Heart of They Fall on Netflix a couple of years ago, which is a black western. It's really movie it is, and it has that that that power behind it and that. But it has that soundtrack too, and this one preserves it. So it's anachronistic, you know. I mean, they didn't have this style of music back in JUDEA two thousand years ago. They were streaming too on the iHeartRadio app. It's been the whole time. Who knew, you know? I mean, but you know everyone has their own cross the beer, but this one, Uh, that's how JAG's involved it. They do a lot of music and the soundtrack is heavily uh modernized. We'll say I got you eisode. It keeps people sort of like in the game or whatever else. Sure, I've seen the trailer. It looks incredible. And we've talked about Nick Cage for years and it's hit and miss. Yeah, but the trailer for him in Sympathy of the Devil looks absolutely stunning. He I mean, like, it would be so fun to play the villain he apparently is playing. This Is that that that one where with Joe Kinneman where he uh takes him like hostage or something takes Yeah, he gets in his car. Yeah, exactly, and and and okay, yeah that one actually that that uh that was available on on streaming started uh or it may have hit like streaming services, but it was like sort of like a new movie several months ago. So I've actually seen that. Yeah, it's it's very typical cage where he goes overboard and he's very he's very cage in this movie. But it has some interesting stuff going on it. It is a It has some neat twists and ideas. The whole thing is is he shows up in this guy's car who's trying to get to the hospital because his wife's having the baby, and and he's like, no, you're this you're this guy who used to work for this mobster years ago. And he's like, no, I'm not that guy. He's like, no, we're gonna So he he basically takes some hostage and and I mean it a great Cage performs. That's something about Nicholas Cage is stuff. Now. It's like when he was in bankruptcy and everything and paying off debt and he just took any movie and you had no sense of quality. Now he takes some very small roles, but at least they're more interesting now. They're they're those fringe roles that that are kind of cool. Yeah, I mean I've always he's an interesting guy. And I know, I don't know if you bought like dinosaur Bones or monkey Heads. I don't know what was going on. I know he had a lot of property. Things went sideways. So yeah, he had his issues. Well it was because he got divorced and like he used to own a copy of the Action Comics number one. I know he had to divest that. Oh Action comic. Of course, the premier the debut of Superman, right, well, I mean that that'll get you out of trouble if you need some money. I suppose, but then might break your heart too. I don't know anyway, So all right, I think that's what I can't remember. It was number one, I know, like the Batman appeared to Detective Comics number twenty seven. Okay, that's my comic book nerd. I don't know. I don't have as much of that nerd in me, but I did. Used to ride my skateboard down to the King Quick or the seven eleven, and it depending and get you know, something about once or twice a week. But you know, turnstiles, aren't those cool? Those little like turning metal displays? I love those. That's true of the big rack. Yep, there was a kid who knocked one down when I was in there one day, and it was though they were pissed, but it was it was a mess. I don't know what was going on. It was just a big racket. I mean, he's not the first kid in the history of the world to knock one of those down. Those are not the sturdiest pieces of machinery. No, it's very true. Anything else before you let you pop. This is turning into a long segment. I apologize, but I appreciate you being here. It's always fun conversation. Yeah it is. I like to please. No, I'm pretty good. I think that kind of wraps it up. And like I said, it's a relatively slow time. There are a couple of streaming stuff, but yeah, we can talk about it next time. There you go, enjoy the rest of your weekend. He's Kevin Carr, guys at the movies. I try to say, find him and fat guys of the movies at the same time. I don't get paid to talk much anyway. Thank you, Kevin, Take care of yourself.

If you are, I heard media from ten o'clock before Jack Grumley has it. Whitney Harris also coming up later on I've seen her, she was walking by. I was like, Hey, she didn't hear me, I will think of or she was ignoring me. I'm gonna hope it's the former, not the latter. So I'm sensitive and I don't want to be her emotionally scarred. Don't you know? The cold weather is coming? An update on what to expect in the next couple of days. Wicked frozen tons or cold not quite like freezer Bowl here back in the day when the Bengals handled business, or those poor Chargers from San Diego, those poor kids come into the cold of the tri State. They'll be the same type of thing. With those Florida fish dolphins out of Miami going to Kansas City this weekend. That should be something too, which leads me to what I want to talk about after ten and I want to know, what's the coldest you've ever been? Like, well, I don't know, maybe you were dropped off in Antarctica or something. Maybe you were locked out of the house on a blizzard day. I don't know. I don't know what your your situation is. But the coldest that you have ever been. I remember as a kid delivering the Dayton Aily news as a little guy, and on a Sunday morning, and it was near zero and I had like I was supposed to be, so it was out there early in the morning. And this is back when Mom's like, well, I can help you if you want, so she's going to drive me around for part of it, but she had other stuff to do early and I don't even remember what. So I had an old grocery cart that I pushed all these newspapers, the big fat Sunday paper with the comics and all the coupons, and I'm just shrugging away through you know, some slushy ice whatever it was that was left, mostly just icy stuff, and trying to make my way, and it was I mean, it's close to two hundred houses or places. A couple of apartment buildings made it easier, but I remember I literally I couldn't feel my feet or hands anymore. By the time I got home. It just felt like they were on fire, which is not really an ideal circumstance. So wondering the coldest you've ever been. I always love hearing Lance talk about the freezable experience. He had at the Old Riverfront with his family and taking the cardboard or whatever beverage container holder things and putting it under their feet on the concrete in the old stadium so that they wouldn't, you know, have their feet freeze like I just described, or probably seriously worse given it some type of insulation or whatever else. So that should be good. The coldest you've ever been on the other side of your ten o'clock report. And I'm gonna mention this, and I mean no disrespect to our a friend from friends from ODOT like mister Brunner or a miss Fuller, but this is pretty wild. So right now, across highways in Ohio, you see those signs and it'll say like buckle up for safety, and then they'll have like little jokes, funny stuff that I don't know who comes up with that, if people submit it, or if it's all the O DOT people coming up with it or whatever else. Across the country, it's happening. It's not just in the Buckeye state right well, the Department of Transportation has come out and said that they need to back off of these jokes on these highway signs because apparently people I don't know who. I don't think they're super heady, like above anybody's head like confused jokes, but maybe I'm confused fairly easily. But they said people are being confused and distracted by the jokes on the highway signs, to the point of they're distracted enough that they think it makes it dangerous on the roads with people looking. I don't know how that could possibly be the case, but I thought i'd mention it. If you look up on a highway sign you're driving seventy one, seventy five, two seventy five, wherever you happen to be, and your look up and it's confusing on the highway sign what it's saying. Just look down, keep them at ten, at two, and keep it on the big one. You're going to probably be okay. Don't be confused by the highway signs. It'll be fine.

The nasty winter cold moving across the US could have some political implications. With the ten o'clock report, I'm Jack Crumley breaking now. For me, it comes with the territory, and this is kind of what it means to live in Iowa in the middle of winter. But two snowstorms back to back feels like a little much. That woman is in Des Moines, Iowa, where the first in the nation caucuses are set to be held this Monday, and that's also when the high in that state is looking to be in the negative digits. That could have an effect on turnout for the Republican primary. It's part of a nasty weather system affecting most of the country, canceling hundreds of flights blizzard warnings today from Nebraska to Wisconsin. Major snowfall around the Great Lakes. In Illinois, roads covered with snow and ice. Chicago o here canceling more than six hundred and fifty flights and when that storm moves east, it's expected to bring heavy rain and more flooding to a region with already rain soak ground and swollen rivers. Behind that storm, a cold blast up to one hundred record low temperatures or forecasts from the Pacific Northwest to the Gulf Coast this weekend and into next week. Dave Packer, ABC News. Here in the Tri State, it's been rainy and windy, some snow showers are expected tonight and then bitter cold after that. Now the latest traffic and weather together. We had problems on the roads, largely weather related with all that rain today, but as of right now, no major backups on Tri State highways. Now the latest forecast from the Advanced Dentistry Weather Center Advanced Dentistry, the judgment free dental experience you've been looking for, no fear Dentist dot Com, and the Tri State forecast for tonight, it's rain to a mix and snow showers late, a low at twenty four. Now our Saturday, we'll see clouds and a chance of flurries, a temperature at thirty. As we get into tomorrow night, a few snow showers down to ten, only fifteen degrees partly cloudy on Sunday.

US leaders tonight telling ABC News that American military forces have now launched another retaliatory strike against Houthy militants in Yemen today. There were large scale air strikes last night intended to degrade that rebel group's ability to attack ships in the Red Sea. It comes after the US led assault hit sixty Hoothy targets across twenty eight locations Thursday, the largest US strike in the Middle East in years, a wave of eighty Tamahawk cruise missiles launched from Navy ships and a submarine back by fighter jets. The Hoothy's vowing revenge as a sea of protesters took to the street in Yemen's capital, burning American and Israeli flat died is ABC's Mary Bruce been made in Butler County after some violent surveillance video back in November show to Miami University student struggling with bar security and also the police response. An Oxford police officer did not use excessive force during the arrest of a Miami University student last November. That was the determination of both the Butler County Prosecutor and the Sheriff's office. An investigation was conducted after video of the arrest surfaced online showing the officer striking twenty year old Devin Johnson. He was engaged in a violent struggle with two staff members of a bar he had just been thrown out of after he allegedly assaulted another customer. The investigation determined that the officer did not use his steel baton, chemical spray, or service weapon to gain compliance, which was deemed the appropriate action due to the close proximity of other members of the public. In a statement, the prosecutor also noted that Oxford police officers are not armed with tasers. Ricky Uchino, Who's Radio seven hundred WILW. I'm Jack Crumley. Our next update at ten thirty Breaking News any Time News Radio seven hundred All. This report is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Service.

Then this is your sign to reach out to the nine eight eight lifeline for twenty four to seven free confidential support. You don't have to hide how you feel, text, call, or chat anytime. From the creator of Up and Vanished comes a new true crime. I know you're making a run for the store, aren't you You need peanut butter, milk, bread, frow, some pizza. I'll what is it that you need? I like my Greater's ice cream or me talking to Kevin Carr about that for sure. Well, forecast weather serious lows ten nine eight five before it warms up Wednesday to Thursday, like eighteen degrees for a low temperature, so we got some days of serious coal. If you got dogs outside, cats outside, probably want to get them inside. Make sure they've got shelter that's not going to be frozen, some type of protection from the wicked cold so they don't end up frozen and have that way on your conscience. That's a kind of a hard thing. But this is what I'm wondering, because you know, if you talk to at home with Gary Sullivan here normally on fifty five KRC. I'm on the show pretty regularly talk about, like, you know, getting those doors open under your kitchen sink, especially if it's on an exterior wall, to protect those pipes. Maybe get a space heater within a distance of it. I've heard all kinds of things people have done over the years and what they plan to do. If you haven't done calking around your windows or the openings. I know they have special calking now that you can put in right where they you close them, and then it'll go right in that area if they're not super tight, and it can protect you and it'll peel right off. Measy cleanup, which is kind of good to get running stream of water depending in the sink so it doesn't freeze up. You can be an idiot like me years ago when I was had to have been probably in high school, and I can remember a situation where it had been really, really cold, but it warmed up and I got home from school and for some reason I was like, Okay, I'm going to get the hose out. And I don't think it was still attached to the house, but it might have been. Which by the way, if you listen to Lance, he's educated on this, you get that hose off and you get the cover on your spickett, which will make life a lot easier too. But the dufist that I was at the time, I went to spray off the patio and I don't know, do something around there, and I remember turning it on and I heard a weird pop sound. Went ahead about my business, and then by the time I got back into the house and I walked through the family room and into the kitchen, I was hearing water and then I was seeing and stepping in water into the kitchen, which was making its way into the carpet into the dining room, at which point I knew I was in a world of hurt. There was no way around it, and I figured the popping sound was clearly the beginning of my peril, and I had to make phone calls. I had to call Mom, and I had to call it was I was and deep crap is what I was in. We don't want you to be in that circumstance. So I want to know, one, how are you getting ready for the extreme cold weather headed our way? And what is the coldest you've ever experienced? The coldest you've ever been five three, seven, four nine, seven thousand, eight hundred, the big one. You can talk back on the iHeartRadio app. One of the things that it's been some time ago. I think it was maybe two or three years ago. I went up into the attic and then getting ready for it in preparation, and I guess technically it helps in the summer for cold water, depending on how your water flows and where it goes when in and made sure everything was insulated up there for the pipe or the flex or pex, whatever it is that's in that area. That's one of those things people need to do. Otherwise you may have water coming from above, not just from the exterior wall of your house or whatever else that goes with that. Certainly, that's one of those things you got to deal with. I am not a fan of the cold, and I know this time of year, January, the try State, we expect it. It's what's to be. It's just what's happening right now. It's in the forties, so it's like, really is it coming? Yeah, it is, and it can be certainly deceptive, the high wind sort of bringing that front with us. So I'm wondering how you're getting ready and what you're doing in preparation. One of the other things is if you've got like some of the silicone stuff or whatever else, the lubricant that you can put in your door locks so that after all this rain and the wind blowing, that it doesn't blow up in there and get frozen and then jack up the works to open up your locks. And if for some reason you don't have a key fob or one of those where you just walk up to your car and it automatically when you touch the door handle like some and it just doesn't loocks, you could be in a world of uncomfortable circumstance if in fact that gets all gunked up and frozen too. And this happened to me once. It was actually leaving this place, when we were in Mount Adams and it was in the parking garage and it was so cold I ended up walking home. I could not open my car. The temperature dropped so much in the way it had gone from wet like rain precipitation to icy and I started to open the car doord I was afraid I was gonna rip like the weather molding or whatever, the stripping on the inside of the door that sort of helps hug that all together with the actual vehicle, not just the doorframe. And somebody was like, dude, you don't want to do that. You're gonna you're gonna hate it. So and I lived just on the other side of the hill Mount Adam, so I just sort of walked around and dealt with the cold, so it wouldn't be that bad. So you don't want to have that situation either, where it's all wet and then that gets frozen. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, eight hundred The Big One, the iHeartRadio app. If you're streaming there, click on the microphone to Anderson, and Kevin was sterling on the Big one. Are you ready for the cold? Just? And how are you getting ready? Just dormill, let the water run, and I dripped and things like that. There you go. I got you. If you had experience in the cold otherwise, like a cold weather experience, Yeah, I was in Alaska fifty one below zero weather, fifty one regular fahrenheit ambient temperature degrees. Yes, the average temperature that year was thirty five below. What do you do? I mean, how do you even deal with that? Hey give you the I was in the military and they gave me clothes, he had parks and all things like that, and I'm very stayed worn. I'd say, so, now, how often did you go out when it was that cold on a daily basis? Man? He after we walked to the cow hall and things like that. With all that going on, Yeah, I would imagine that pretty much sucks, dude. I can't even imagine that circumstance. I mean, I'm in a situation now where like when it's really cold like that, I'll open the patio the door and the dog has walked out and looked at me like I don't think so, and I'm like, yeah, you gotta go, and he's like, I'll hold it. So I can't imagine double digits and multiple like tens of degrees fifty one below zero, that's insane. When it got the five degrees above zero, would be out in shorts and t shirts from being in that cold the weather. See, and that's the weird thing. It would feel warm, but obviously it's still cold enough where that could cause you serious harm. So that'd be one of those things you got to be real careful over your end up, like dropping an arm or an ear or a nose or something. I would imagine it was pretty uh comical. People had had mustaches and things they coming out of the cold and forget about it, and they would wipe their mustache and had come off on one side of their face. Oh you're kidding, that's closs. I don't know. I would imagine that would probably hurt a little bit. But what I mean, what a weird story to tell that you didn't have to shame you just broke off your facial hairs. That's pretty wild, Kevin. I appreciate your sharing. Be safe on the road of voiceos, high profile vehicles that can make it tough too to Indiana. And George was sterling on the big one. Are you ready for the call? George? Yeah, I'm here. What's up man? Well, the coldest I can remember was twenty six blow zero. It was on Groundhog's Day, nineteen fifty one, and those temperature in the United States that that day was thirty five blows zero at just a little south of Greensburg, Indiana, And that was the coldest reading in the nation that day. And my dad had two big barn. The one was her sheep only and the other one was most a cattle. We had a couple of horses and a few hogs in there. How'd you guys keep them warm? Well, we had just a tight, tight barn. And I went over to the sheep barn about nine o'clock in the morning, and we're still using loose hay. And I got up in the mouth and threw down enough ay for the sheep, and I distributed round through the mangers I had. I had two pairs of gloves on, and my hands still were very cold, and I went back. I went back to the house and got warmed up, and I went out to the big barn, and when the wind went in the inside the barn just looked as if it had been whitewashed. Their breath had frozen on the walls, and it was just that was one one reason that they stayed somewhat warm. I mean, all that condensation from the yeah, from the heat of their own bottle. Yeah, and you know, the body heat. It was sure a lot better than being out, you know. Yeah, But i'd say so, I can't imagine, and you don't. You have to take care of your animals. It's just the right thing to do. So you had to brave that nastiness too. So this type of weather probably doesn't even phase you. I'm guessing. Well, I was out quite a few hours. I'd uh go out and work awhile, then go back to the house. And we had a big water tank for the livestock. I don't know, they'd hold several hundred gallons, and I had put shawl around the base of it, and I put a canvas over the top. And it still froze about two and a half to three inches thick that night. And we had a rod had about four feet long, had a hand hold on it and one end was sharpened to a point, and we had to use that to get the ice out of the pipe that brought the water in. It came through the bottom of the tank and it would trees in that pipe, and so it had to had to get that pipe out. We had a windmill and I chopped that ice out and threw it out with a pitchfork. Like I say, it made a pretty good pile. And I went up with the house and started the windmill. And there was a good stiff breeze and it was it was out of the west southwest that day, and it was a very cold day. Yeah, I think cold is an understatement that's for sure, and it was good that you were there to take care of it. What great experience, George. I appreciate you sharing and being a part of the show. I hope you stay safe. I know it's warm now, relatively speaking than the wind. On one other thing, I was a senior in high school and my dad was seventy three years old, so I just told him to stay inside, and I kind of told my age ared and a little bit. That's all right. You sound good and you're vital. I think you got it going on better than I do, George, and I appreciate you. You're giving us some time listening and being a part of the show. I'm glad you're here. I listened try to bit. I listened to Sarah, you know, Bill Cunningham and then Carrol just it was old. You know. Well, we appreciate you. Yeah, I listened quite a bit. You're a good man, George. Take care of yourself. I hope you have a happy New Year and stay warm. I appreciate it. It's get to Montgomery and Anita here, Anita, are you ready for this cold that's coming our way? They say, well, it's been worse. I lived in New Jersey twenty years ago. Huh. And we used to get reports on the TV during this one winter that there were houses around the New York, New Jersey area that were just blowing up because it was so cold that the ground would tighten up and crack the gas lines. Oh you're in. The gas would sleep. Now, the gas would sleep into the house and unbeknownst to the people, if you know, light a match, turn the stove on, the house would explode. Yeah, so I would go ahead, No, I was acknowledging you. I'm just trying to process that the dangerous situation that you're describing. It gets better, Yeah, Because we lived in Northern Jersey and we had a central alarm system that had a smoke I mean a gas detector in it, and it kept going off and we called the alarm company. They came out, Oh, it must be a defective sensor because there was no gas smell whatsoever. A couple of days go by, the tech is still going off. So then they came out with the meter and they tested around and even though you couldn't smell any gas, the meter detected some gas and so did that sensor. So then we had to get public service electric and gas. And it was late at night, so it might have been around midnight, maybe even later. So the whole Public service came out with a back hoe and started digging up the front of our yard. They cut my big, beautiful magnolia tree in half. Yeah, so then you know it was lopsided. The thing must have been thirty forty years old, and they cut the tree in half to dig up my front. And then while they were out there, it was so called that the street had frozen over like a sheet of ice, and one of the guys from public service flipped himself. Then we had an ambulance there. It's okay, And the people around the neighborhood must have thought some insanity was going on. Well, you were having some kind of ordeal, that's for sure. Well yeah, I mean the fireman told us don't even turn on a light, yeah, because it just Yeah, you don't want to be a cautionary tale, that's for sure. I mean that's insane. We shut everything off. We shut the electricity off. So here it is it's like two below outside and we got no electricity, and we got the whole public service and the ambulance and oh my god, it was just it was pretty horrible. It's never a good time, but it's it's always late at night or in the middle of the night, it seems when this type was that it's just the worst case scenario, I suppose, But I mean that's it's every time I talk to somebody and they have some type of you know, odd extreme story like that, I'd say, you know, eighty percent of the time it is just as you described, middle of the night, isolated place, somebody's on strike, some other extreme situation going on. Huh, It's just the way it is. And but here's a good thing. You didn't blow up. And you may have had the magnolia tree that had some pain and suffering, and you may have emotionally suffered, but you didn't end up a cautionary tale. And I got to talk to you tonight, and you get to listen to us on the big One, Anita. So all is well, well, not only that, looking back on it now, it's a fun story to tell, but not when you were in it. Well yeah, but you know, here we are, twenty years later, we can laugh about it. That's exactly right. Not always how it is in the moment, you can't, but later on you can. That's what the good stuff of life's about. Absolutely, Anita. I appreciate you listening and being a part of the show. I hope you have a great night in a good new year. Thank you you too, and God bless you. Thank you, Anita. And I here's the thing, am I? I had a is it too late to say New Year? I mean it's twelve days in two weeks? Is all right? Do I have a two week window on that? I don't know what's appropriate and what's not coming up. I want to know we'll come back to talk about the coldest you've been, getting ready for the cold. And then also usually there's a lot of people bitching and moaning about tipping into people requesting tips and people not making enough money or maybe making too much money. A little bit later, I'll talk about a situation where some people coughed up an enormous sum to say thank you to the people serving them. So, if you're a server or someone who's been extremely generous in tipping, I'm curious about the biggest tip you've gotten and maybe the fattest tip that you've left, and maybe why five point three seven, four, nine, eight hundred the big one. It's a Friday sterling having a little bit of fun. Severe weather cold coming our way. Obviously those warming centers around the tri State and Cincinnati, a lot of other places who can hear us up in the Miami Valley and beyond and wherever this affront is coming, going to be filling up sooner than later. Details on some of those places the people may be needing to get to so that they're not frozen on the streets, which is not ideal even in the warmest situation to be with nowhere to go, but certainly when the wicked cold is here, it's a Friday sterling.

I mean it's time to go out, maybe spend some time with friends, families, somebody you care about. Just get out of the house, have a couple of pops, whatever it is, and doing it safely. And you know, a lot of times the conversation has turned to in the last couple of years, the change in the tipping culture and to talk about people soliciting for tips and so forth, and the oftentimes there's a lot of shade thrown on servers and people in that type of business, fairly or unfairly. And I have been accused of being a generous tipper, maybe overly generous, to the point where women in my life has said, you're just flirting, trying to pick her up. I'm like, no, she gave good service and she deserves to be compensated. It's not always women, but that's how it's been thrown in my face in the past. And the bottom line is, I just know a lot of people who've been in that type of work or in that work now, and I know it can be a treacherous to say the least, and it's often not well paid at least from your paycheck, but coming out of TIMPs on the other side of that sometimes, so when there's crappy service, I'm pretty good about saying, hey, thanks, but you know, no, here's a little token. Maybe ought to try to treat us better that type of situation. And there's always seemingly on the radio, some conversation and sometimes argument about all that. That being said, though, because I have friends in the business and a lot of people who may own those type of businesses too. And if you're out and about going here or there or the other place, this is what I'm curious about. If you're a server, or if I've been in that type of business, or someone who just goes out and eats and socializes and coughs up some cash as a tip, what is the largest tip you've received and also maybe what is the largest tip you've been a party to giving. And it seems like oftentimes during the holidays, and it was really seemingly happening, I think during the pandemic and some of those restaurants that were open when things were really treacherous and challenging for going out, or you know, the distancing and the tents outside and the heaters and all the other stuff that goes along with that, and people you know, putting themselves in a lot of ways in jeopardy out and about taking care of us who wanted to get a bike, eat and so forth. And you'd hear these stories about people you know, given fat fat you know mac Daddy type tip scenarios to take care of those people. And the other side of that is you know what you've given or what you haven't. And there's a story that is pretty wild. Some people in a group in Massachusetts left their servers. It was apparently a pretty large group. Two different employees there showed up to work and they thought it wasn't going to be a very busy day, as the story goes as in USA to day and somebody, I actually a couple of people would send it to me once since I just mentioned this as a topic here before the news, which is kind of nice. People are engaged in paying attention at Sterling Radio on Twitter formerly anyway now x or Sterling at seven hundred WLW dot com anyway. They didn't think they were going to be busy, didn't think they were gonna get any real business or let alone tips that go along with that, and they ended up being tipped more than seven thousand dollars, which is an enormous sum of money, certainly very helpful. I don't know how that works if you spread that out. I think some places I've heard they'll they'll tip of people who are not front of house or you know, doing the serving, and everybody else sort of gets a little taste of that love. But they said they were working at this Red's Kitchen is what it's called, which is a family kind of place in Peabody, Massachusetts. That's how they say that, Not Peabody, but Peabody. And there was a bunch of people I guess from Pellatin groups, so I don't know if they were all together hanging out, decided to come out, bunch of food, bunch of drinks, and you know, standard tip if you have a large group, what they say eighteen percent or sometimes they'll make it twenty percent and just added on. These people went way over the top. And in a situation like that, you know, maybe you give a little bit more. But seven thousand dollars, which is just amazing and the average, And this is something that's pretty wild, especially since a minimum wage in Ohio and Kentucky and a lot of other places the first of the year with new laws, they tend to go up. Some are you know, tagged in to go with the cost of living or inflation, which is the case in Ohio. But they say most servers in the US make two dollars and thirteen cents an hour before tips. So if it's a slow day or a slow night and you know you're not getting cut to go home, you're staying there for however long, for two dollars an hour effectively, which is brutal to say the least. And sometimes people will just don't tip. I'll even tip when I picked food up, and I started to be a little bit more cognizant of doing that when everything was sort of shut down inside. So you know, I get pizza, to get Chinese or some stuff I regularly eat or we regularly grab food. It's just one of those things. So I'm just wondering if you've been in that business or in that business at one time or another, you know, whether it's a small place, big place. Sometimes it turns into a career and you can make a really good living serving in handling that. And on the other side, if you're going out business meals and so forth, sometimes they'll be better. Tipping or group of people five one, three, seven, four ninety seven, eight hundred, the big one. Wondering what the largest tip you've gotten has been, or the largest that you've left. And I tell you, I was with a group of people. I guess it was a couple of years ago, and it was a trip to the desert in Vegas and we were hanging out, you know, I'm doing what people do, you get a break or playing cards or whatever it is, and so forth, And everybody threw in like twenty bucks as a tip, whatever it was, and there was like eight of us or something. It was like one hundred and eighty two hundred dollars tip in total, and we I don't know, I don't think we had a whole lot. It was like lunchtime or whatever, and the people there like lost their mind. And you figure Vegas that they would be used to getting fat tips. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but they acted ridiculously appreciative, ridiculously shocked, which made me feel good. But it was about them and how they were taking care of us, which is kind of nice. And an other times, you know, I mean I bought pizza and just tip basically doubled the price, you know, of what I was expected to pay, just cause. And sometimes if you're having drinks, of course, cocktails, you know, you get more generous as it goes. And I'm not talking like, you know, a bottle service or whatever, where you're paying hundreds of dollars or something ridiculous for a bottle. You could go someplace else and get for you know, fifty bucks or less. But just in general going out, it's sort of the way that happens on occasion at Sterling Radio on x Formully Twitter five point three seven four nine seven than eight hundred, the big One, just wondering what it is. And even maybe you're out and about tonight and you've already tipped or been working or whatever, else, seventy two hundred dollars tip of these people in Massachusetts. That's extraordinary, which is why I would imagine it made the USA today in the paper I guess was yesterday. There's I mean, that makes total sense and why it would be there because that doesn't normally happen. But it seemed like holiday time and pandemic time. It was regularly you know, you'd see stories of the people that went out and they were deliberately going to places and having breakfast someplace in the whole idea was to just deliver a fat tip to make people's day or they're weak or whatever else that goes with it, which is a nice feeling. Let's get to Sam we Sterling on seven hundred WLW. Let me click on Sam. There you go. How are you hi? Good, evening fine? How are you doing doing fine? Did you give a big tip or get a big tip? Got a big tip? This was several years ago, working for a pizza place and I babysat a whole order delivering back and forth to the local Walmart, like on a Black Friday or just before Christmas, and a two hundred dollars cash tip. Nice, that's probably yeah, it helped with vacation and our anniversary trip that year. I would say, so, here's my question. If you're in a situation where you've been a server, do you find yourself being more generous in thought full when it comes to leaving tips for people comparatively or you maybe even more tough on the service that you're getting. I've always wondered, i'd no generally been working in this industry forever. I tend to overtip, and it's it's a lot of fun to overtip. It's nice to get a surprise face and you you know that you've made their day. As your wife ever accused you of being flirting or too aggressive with the tipping with aterior motives, as I've been accused of, no, no, no good. I've been married forty three years. We're fine, gotcha. I just wanted to make sure because I've been told that, and I'm like, hey, I just thought it was good service. I'm trying to show some love. Sam. I appreciate the call man and you being a part of the show. Thank you, thanks for listening. If I went through each some fortine seven eight hundred, the big one, your chance to get interactive later will give it a little bit the sound here I think from Jelly Roll. This congressional testimony you had was really striking and tremendous. I don't know if it's going to make a difference in keeping people alive and living better, or if it's going to cause lawmakers to actually be as proactive as they have been with trying to do something with the opioid or fentanyl issues and epidemic. We've certainly seen progress in the tri State and the way that it's looked at and dealt with over these years, where it went from heroin to other opioids and now fentanyl car fentanyl, the synthetic stuff which is in a lot of different products and no one knows, and obviously the byproduct of that is overdoses unexpectedly and people not knowing what they're ingesting when they're looking to have a good time when maybe they shouldn't. So there is something to go with that, So we'll talk on that general. Interesting guy and obviously hugely popular performing. I think his show with Rivermen has sold out coming up this summer. I think it's this year already, and that's like eighteen I think, or twenty thousand tickets already sold, waiting for a tour that has yet to really get going, which is pretty astounding when you think about it. Lots more to do as well. On a Friday quick break, come back glad you're here, Sterling, seven hundred WLW. It'll be wild in Waco.

Listen to Talking to Death on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Odds Are you won't die? Hey? Were you forced into a No? One hundred WLW Big Time Date Night is a lot of people meeting their special someone or trying to find maybe just someone for right now with a dating app here there swipe in one direction or another, I mean, pick an app. It's no longer a classified ad in the back of like city bead or the Inquirer or whatever else that's out there. Social media and so many other ways for people to hook up and apparently while traveling this is something that I would be leery of just in general here, but going to a foreign land, going to a place where English is not the language of the most of the population, though most people around the world, it seems, speak English better than well, at least better than I do, let alone being able to speak Spanish. Going someplace else. Here's the headline. US warns against using dating apps in Colombia after suspicious debts of eight US citizens in two months. So people who either I guess are going on vacation to Columbia, which is a beautiful place I know, certainly over the last couple of decades, certainly high profile stories of you know, drug cartels or drug kingpins and all the other stuff that goes with us. Or a buddy of mine's ex wife he met while they were in school, and they were together and had some kids or whatever else. Her family was from Medying or just outside Medying, Columbia, and he went and I was like, dude, I don't know the first time. I'm like I don't know, dude, that seems scary. And he was like, no, no, no, they tell me it's cool. And they went several times, like every year they were going. He absolutely loved it. But he wasn't on dating apps, right. He was going with somebody from there and their family and hung out and absolutely loved the place. So I'm just curious, if you use a dating app, how careful are you when you go out to meet someone new, whether you're here in Montgomery, going downtown Cincinnati, maybe you're in Oakley, whatever it is, you know, looking to meet in public. I think that's pretty basic. And that's what the US Embassy in Bogatah is saying. Criminals had been using dating apps luring to victims, and in this case eight have already died. Eight Americans have already died in two months time. Meeting in public places. The places that I would have been told is the way you go about doing it at restaurants, bars, whatever, cafes. Apparently they will drug people sometimes assault them, rob them. They say that they are aware at this point of eight separate suspicious deaths of Americans in meddying between November one and December thirty first, so just the last sixty days of twenty twenty three, which is insane. And they say over the last year they've seen and heard of more reports involving incidents of people. It doesn't mention anybody else from any other countries. So I don't know what that means that we Americans are just dumber than rocks. And I'm not saying that's these people's fault, but I mean, you got to pick your spots. I mean, maybe you are well versed in Spanish, maybe you've been to Colloi, maybe you have a Colombian heritage, maybe you have a background, you have people there. Okay, fine, but it seems to me that if you're visiting and you are a citizen of the United States and a whole lot of places around the world, we are considered to be hostage targets, kidnapping targets. I mean, we're Americans, and sometimes we can be the ugly American. But you know, in dating, who doesn't want some love and stuff and you're in a foreign land. Maybe you want to go have a good time. I get it, want to you know, experience life, whatever else it happens to be. It's a pretty disturbing circumstance. So I want to know, one do you how do you go about doing that safely? Have you had a problem, have seen something sketchy and just bolted from a get together meeting scenario when you you know, we're expecting it and you're like, nah, this doesn't feel right, sort of like when you're selling something online. You know, whether you go to one of those little spots that the police now have in multiple locations around where you can go and there's cameras and there's lights, so you're not in a random parking lot where somebody's going to roll you right there, knife you, shoot you, take your stuff, steal your car, leave you for dead. God only knows. Maybe it's just me worst case scenario, profit of doom thing. I don't know. They say violent death against people of foreign lands increased in the neighborhood of thirty percent in Colombia. Most of the victims US citizens, according to the US government, one of which is a comedian from Minnesota and apparently before he was killed. He posted pictures with Colombian women that he was kidnapped and that he was kidnapped and murdered, and then the left in mediaim which is just horrible. And he had called friends in the tenth of December saying that he had been kidnapped, he was being held at gunpoint, and the people demanded eight million pay sos Colombian which equals somewhere to around two thousand US dollars to release them, and apparently before anybody could either pay or not pay, he was found later in a ravine, stabbed to death and blunt froust trauma, which is just absolutely horrifying. What a nightmare scenario. But see, I'd be reluctant to do that in a town I don't know, right, and if I'm traveling and I'm on business and like I don't know Picket Gary in Diana, God forbid. I don't mean that disrespectfully, but you know, and I don't think I'm going out there looking for love or at least a good time because I don't know the town. I don't know the ins and outs, I don't know how to get around. It makes me very leary, how scared or worried. Are you of that? Five point three seven four nine eight hundred the Big one to Momford Heights and Mark was Stirling on the Big One. Hey man, how are you hey certain? Yeah, my nephew who's thirty two now, just needs some sunshine for mental health. Sure, I get. And so you know, he went down to Columbia, staying in a resort area, which is very nice, sposed to be very safe. And I've kept in close contact with him, and you know, he's told me that a couple of people have been killed down there from the US. Yeah. And you know, some of these people that go down there on these dating sites, dating sites, think they're going to go down there and it's just like you know, free sex and they, oh what, go after several women and have sex with them, and that doesn't go over very well down there. Yeah, I see, you mean from other people judging you and being upset about it. Not the women necessarily setting you up, but others aware that you're sort of a tourist, you know, looking for something and not you're down You're down there for ulterior modice sex tourism, I guess is what it. And and yeah, and these fathers don't take real well to that. I can understand that, I don't know, to the point of killing someone. I mean on the website, the app would be the female or whoever's acting. Is that other party that's going to be putting themselves out there for it. It's not like these Americans are out there just randomly picking up like people on the street, right. Probably, Yeah, well, I mean they schmooz them, right, because it's i mean a very poverty stricken area, right, And if you have money, you can impress somebody very easily make yourself a market especially being tall, you know, big guys, right. I know that sounds No, No, it doesn't not to me, it doesn't. I get what you're saying. Yeah, And but they go down there and think it's just a playground, and that's not their culture down there. I mean they're I mean, it's a it's a you know, for the most part, from what my nephew told me, I mean, it's a very Christian culture, absolutely, super Catholic, super developed, and very serious about it from what I understand too, Yeah, that's for sure, absolutely. But I guess that shows that there's no such thing as a free lunch or no such thing as free loving. Neither for that matter too. Mark, I appreciate the call your nephew though, no problems. He's okay, he's just he was just sharing what he'd observed. Not as statistic at this point. No, actually, I mean he met a young lady down there. He's going to be back up here in a couple of days, but he's definitely well one interesting thing. And I asked him, I Sara, you bringing her back with you, and because I mean they become pretty close, I know it's a short period of time. And he said it would take almost three months in paperwork to get her to come to the US just to be able to visit. Wowah, that's that's yeah, that's a lot of work. Well I hope you maybe versus the southern border. Well, yeah, exactly. Yeah, if you if you make a long walk or a journey, I guess you can just walk in and then you might end up on a bus and in Chicago or New York or some other unknown destination too, who knows. Yeh, strange days we're living in Mark, that's for sure. I appreciate that. Yeah, absolutely, it'd be nice if they could tighten it up and you couldn't just walk in like that or swim across. But the tough time, So that is for sure. You're eleven o'clock report, coming up right, And I was. I was always very careful to go places where English was, if not the primary language, it was like the top of the list, or where I had a halfway understanding. May not be able to speak French or speak you know, pick a language, Spanish, but just enough to get by, but I could halfway understand it and just hope that I wasn't going to end up like you know, a cautionary tail or something. But showing up and using dating sites in that type of environment, man, that's just that's risky here. If you don't go to the right place, or you get a bad match, or somebody's looking to you know, to you know, basically use you as a mark or whatever else some type of trick situation, you can become a statistic too, which is I think highly overrated generally the news straight away, You're eleven o'clock report.

I'm Whitney Harris News Radio seven hundred Wow. This report is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Have you ever told Whitney Harris in the newsroom just saw in the hall, I'm like, Yo's like, hey, twenty three minutes away from another update from her about the cold coming and all kinds of other craziness happening. And I don't know if you've heard about this, but this is this is a wild circumstance. So according to sources, as it's been reported by nine, it's gotten a bunch of other play. Apparently there's a phone that was stolen with they could say sex tape, but it's really video. But everybody his sex tape sounds. I don't know sex here, I any idea anyway, FC Cincinnati forward Aaron Pretenda, Why is this all of a sudden? It seems like my computer is doing some type of housekeeping and I did not ask it to do any housekeeping, and my screen went black, So I don't know what the hell. Anyway, he's got this phone and it has you know some let's just say, entertainment activity private video on there, which I'm guessing a lot of people probably have on a device of choice, right. I think a lot of people have probably taken some pictures, a lot of people have had some video or whatever else goes along with that. The difference in a situation like that with Blupenza is the fact that he is, you know, coming to or from a part of the world in Central Africa, Goabon where you can get in some serious, serious trouble for having that type of content on your phone. So apparently allegation is that there had been some blackmail going on, which is a problem for anybody to have to deal with, even in twenty twenty four. In this twenty first century world, we're living in new site called Senennews Senegal Lez new site a call hence it goes talked about what was on there in consensual sex acts for whatever money exchange or something along those lines. So I don't need to get into the specifics of that, and I'm not trying to put him in a bad light or anything else, because my guess is there's a whole lot of people right now driving around just right as we speak, on seventy five, seventy four, seventy one, pick any place right now. Maybe you have something on your phone that you might not want anyone else to see. Here's my question. Do you keep something like that on there? Do you back that up? Do you not do that anymore? What do you tell your kids when it comes to issues like that? I mean the obvious thing. And it never occurred to my mother to mention this to me because at a time coming up in the eighties, it wasn't something that happened unless it was like a video tape and you weren't carrying those around. It did not happen that. I will tell you I have encountered a woman or two in my life that's liked some pictures, but maybe occasionally send a photo. It's just one of those things sometimes people five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred, the big one. And anonymity is key. Change your name, that's fine. What I'm wondering is if somebody stole one of your devices. Now, if one of your devices somehow got hacked, is there something on your phone that you could find yourself embarrassed by, maybe in jeopardy when it comes to your work or image situation that's consenting with you, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, whatever else. We don't need specifics of the content necessarily. Certainly it's a wholesome family show, you know, for the children, as they say. But I mean, is that something that you have because I can tell you right now with all confidence, I'm pretty sure there's no pretty sure you hear me, sure there's nothing like that on my phone right now. I can guarantee you it's not on the tablet that I have here, or certainly the desktop that's here, or certainly a laptop. There may or may not have been something in the past like that. And even when stuff's been sent to me like that, I'm very I'm like, hey, look at that, and I'm like, no, I don't want that on my phone because I don't want to end up getting in trouble, right I'm not trying. And it's sometimes people send you stuff and you're like, I don't know what you were thinking. And the weirdness that comes with that is sometimes you'll get something like that and maybe it's partly from being somewhat in the public eye, but you don't know who sent it. You don't know since you don't know who it's from. You're like, I don't think I want to open that I don't want to click on that link. I don't want to click on that picture or our cyber security expert they've had or on enough to know in conversation, even off the air, that you know, clicking on that picture, clicking on that link that you may or may not have even known the person who's sent it to you could put yourself in harm's way, in jeopardy where somebody could just take over your device anyone, and then who knows what they do with the information that they find. You think the most? What is the most damaging thing on your phone or your device right now that you think if it got hacked to get you in trouble. I think for most people that I know, it would be a banking app, it would be other types of information when it comes to making payments that it for some reason someone was able to get their hands on it. They could have their way to maybe some of your money that you've worked hard for that you're hopefully trying to save for your future, right or even if it's just to get something nice sent to the house tomorrow or the next day, whatever it takes. But to be in a situation where I mean, you know, you could argue that careers could be ruined. Certainly a standing in a community could be ruined. You hear this sometimes the educators, you know, they have private stuff. Right, Where is the line for that? Because it was just a story in the news I think it was about a week or two ago where there was I think it was a teacher. I'm not sure if it was in the tri State or not. They had like an only fans account and everything was fine. There was a president even of a university I think, or something along those lines. That was in the news the other day. Thank you, uh messaged me or there just in that someone paying very close attention and sent to me fairly quickly. And in that circumstance, someone had gone to the only fans site that they were making videos for only fans, meaning people who paid to see it, and they didn't have anything that would identify them to being who they really are or where they happened to work. They had gainful employment somewhere else in a position dealing you know, with education or whatever. However, someone decided to go after them and put that out there. Which then led them to basically be forced out of their employment situation. So I guess my question is this one, how concerned are you and how careful are you if you you know, whether it's sent to you or you've sent it, or you've maybe had a thing where you've made something together that you have on a device, that it could it gets out there and cause you problems. Now, everything that I just said is enough of a fair warning and a cautionary tale of woe that leads me to think that you might not want to have anything. And I wouldn't want to have anything out there like that where it could get yourself in harm's way or somebody else. But if it's only fans and it's people, the only way you find it is if you're looking for it, and you may not even identify who it is. Who the hell's business is it? And if it's private time, whose business is it? Right? I mean, where is that line of acceptability? And here you have someone, thankfully you know locally that you're in a situation where it sounds like employers are like, no, we get it, everything's fine, we understand it's straight, We're not worried about it. We want everything to be okay, but you don't know. People have ulterior motives. They might you know, they try to you know, blackmail or whatever else, and then there's no guarantee they're not going to keep coming back with their hand open and threatening you again in the future. That's tough, I can tell you. In the past, I've had things sent to me. If somebody got it, they might be like, what the hell are you looking at now? It's adult It was adult women. I can't control what a woman sends me, you know. And the only thing I can say is is even this, I know a whole lot of people that have had this conversation just recently with somebody whose kid is out of college now, and I think they were looking to leave their first job to their second out of school, and they were concerned about social media stuff from college that was still out there, not even I mean just drinking and partying, not like nakedness and sexual activity, but worried that that could be something and they were looking to scrub it as best they could. And there are some services I guess you can buy or pay for that can help you to hopefully avoid them in a situation where it could you know, hope not keep them from an opportunity or put them in a bad light where they might lose an opportunity. But I mean, I think we're getting to the point. My observation or hallucination is that if somebody's in their twenties now and younger, I think that as time goes on, I could be wrong. Some stuff is going to be thought of is not that big of a deal because so many people of a certain age have been living this life of social and digital exposure that it's just like, yeah, well, I'm an upstanding citizen and that was then, and that's that. But if you look back, maybe depending on where you were coming up in college, if there were those you know, instematic polaroid pictures or whatever else. I mean, some Facebook stuff's out there, you know, you see stuff posted You're like, where'd you find that? Man? Don't put that up there. That's kind of incriminating. It's a weird place to be. Five point three seven four nine seven eight hundred. The big one. You can talk back on the iHeartRadio app. Do you have something out there that could get you in trouble? Have you in the past? How do you deal with that? And I guess the thing that you tell your kids. Even though I think that the pendulum will swing the other way. And I'm not talking about doing something out there and putting yourself like in the middle of it, but it's all out there. We're all vulnerable in that type of situation. Maybe not to the same extreme that the start of this conversation and question that I have about it, but it's definitely something that's worrisome and not the headline that you want, and you certainly don't want to be in a situation where you can get in trouble on a foreign land, let alone blackmailed five point three seven four nine, eight hundred, The Big One talk back click on the microphone and the iHeartRadio app at your Friday Sterling seven hundred WLW.

Big weather coming, cold weather coming right, rain, snow, win moving out twenty four to the load anight, big drop into I'm sure expected high at thirty two Saturday, down to eleven into Sunday morning. A high of only seventeen on Sunday, a low of eleven twenty two Monday. Nine single digits nine on Monday for a low, and that'll continue for a couple of days in the end of the week. Wicked cold. You get those warming stations opening up around in community centers and elsewhere around the tri State, up the Miami Valley, all over where this weather has been moving through. Just absolutely wicked, evil, bad Colt. I don't know the coldest you've ever been. I don't remember the temperature exactly. I remember as a kid, and it might have been Freezer Bowl year Bengals and Chargers actually, and I remember going outside as a little sterling and taking a bowl of water and winging it up into the air, like just throwing the water up into the air, because I was told by the neighbors like, oh, yeah, it's cold enough to freeze. And I'm like, I don't know. You've heard about people cooking you know, eggs on a sidewalk in Arizona. I'm like, yeah, he goes, well, you can freeze water before it hits the ground. So I went out and did that. It was cold. I don't know if it actually froze that quickly, but it seemed like it was getting kind of, you know, frosty as it sort of splattered up there. I just knew that it was steaming as soon as I walked out, seemingly hot water, and it wasn't that hot, which was unnerving to say the least. That's as cold as I can imagine. And I know that I've heard what seems like more people that could have possibly been in the older Riverfront Stadium for that game talking about being there. But that's just the way it goes. And my guess is for some NFL playoff action here in Denver, there'll be a whole lot of people if they survive it saying the same thing right now. By the way, it's a forty one. It's your severe weather station seven hundred WLW. Speaking of NFL playoff action in this being wild Card weekend, tomorrow, the Brown and the Texans getting it on at four point thirty, Dolphins and the Chiefs eight o'clock on Peacock only on Peacock TV. My picks, I don't know if you've made picks. I know Sean McMahon, he likes his football, and a lot of other people do. I'm not as passionate about these games as I would be if the Bengals were playing. Obviously, I think that's pretty standard, it's pretty basic. I'm not the only one of that mindset. But I mean it's NFL playoffs. Yeah, there's no question there's a lot going on. I mean, you got Xavier basketball tomorrow at Providence in the Big East. Then you got uc on the road their third Big twelve game, and hoops action in Texas at Baylor. Both of these games on the Big One. I think the Brown's gonna beat the Texans. I think Flacco somehow fits and they're able to get it done. I'd like to see the Dolphins kind of beat Kansas City just because I don't know why. I know, you know, Kelsey's the guy went to UC. He's a football bear cat and all that. I like Mahomes when they're not playing the Bengals. I'm a fan sort of kind of. But I think i'd like to see the Dolphins. So I think the Dolphins may surprise in the cold, although you know, we'll see how they react. They're coming from Miami where it's warm all year. We'll see how it goes. My guess is they'll be more prepared than the Chargers anyway, could have possibly been back in the day when the freezer bolt took place here. We know how that worked out. The Chargers couldn't handle it. I don't even know how anybody handled it. I remember watching the game on TV and they're showing the Ohio River and you could like walk across basically, which is just crazy. Sunday's game, Steelers in the Bills, Packers and Cowboys, Rams and Lions. I like the Lions. The Cowboys and the Bills are those obvious picks. They may be the obvious picks. I think that's probably the case. And then Monday night it's the Eagles and the Buccaneers. I'm thinking the Buccaneers. I don't know what your picks are, what your thoughts are, and you get the division rounds and everything else. I was talking to Mike d Wall from space dot Com. He's an Ohio guy who was ended up after living all over the place doing his stuff. He's in the Bay Area and he's all about his forty nine ers. You know, obviously they get a bye and doing what they're doing. And he was like, well, he's hopeful. And I have a hard time appreciating the forty nine ers just because when I was a little kid, you know, the misery and the pain they seem twice you know, it was a tick or two away, a player two away for a Bengals win, and you know other circumstances the other time around, but heartbreaking is what it was. So I mean, I can appreciate them doing well, but you know, however you look at it, I think that's pretty much. I don't want to think about it too much, but those are my picks. Give you a chance to sound off at Sterling Radio on Twitter five one three eight hundred, the Big One. I think, what a conversation we had about movie stuff with Kevin Carr coming up after your eleven thirty report. But I'll stick to that. In those picks, I think those are fairly safe. I mean, you know, you can take points in all that other stuff. I'm not necessarily worried about that. I have Browns, Dolphins, Bill's, Cowboys, Lions, Buccaneers surprising the world. I think that's it. I think that's how I'm looking right about now for this weekend's action. I may be delusional Sean McMahon, I don't know. He's always looking for some type of action or whatever else. He may or may not agree. We'll see how it goes. There's lots of stuff going on with that, so we'll see. And then in a short order it won't be long, the special needs dogs will be taking a part in the Puppy Bowl twenty Super Bowl time, and you'll see the special needs dogs out there in shelters and rescues all over the place, showing that these animals are lovable and cuddable, a little bowl cuddling or whatever you want to call it, lovable and whatever you want to take them home. Then they can still have a quality of life. And that's sort of I think the way that court sort of plays out and that people look at that. But and I got a little bit of hate when I was saying earlier which I mentioned this, and I'm I'm going to say it anyway. I don't even care. I simply said this. It's nice and warm and fuzzy as it is with the puppy stuff. I don't think they could do the same thing for a lot of people who might talk about worrying about kids that are in foster homes or in orphanages which are not as plentiful as they used to be, some type of foster care situation, or otherwise. There's a lot of special need children out there that don't get a second look, that don't get an opportunity to have a home. And maybe if they did a a you know, a kid bowl like they're going to do the puppy bowl with the special needs, would that be bad? If that would show that these kids can you have a quality of life and could be rewarding, and then you could do something if you want to do something to help a kid, to adopt them and give them a chance, because you know what it is, a lot of people talk about caring about kids, but they don't want It's like they want to adopt a kitten, but they don't want a cat. They want a puppy what they don't want a dog. They want to care about the kids, but they don't want to adopt a kid who has special needs because it's too much work, it's too much stress, and they don't want to put themselves out too much. But they talk a good game. So maybe a human kid adoption bowl scenario showing off kids in that circumstance might be a good thing, just like the puppy bowl. But I think people would say that's opportunistic, that that's somehow taking advantage or something else along those lines, and I don't think so. If it could get some kids into a good home where they're loved and care for and have an opportunity for a brighter future where they can I'm just trying to make sense of these crazy times in which we're living the news. Straight Away, Whitney Harris has an update, and your eleven thirty report will come back. There's Kevin Carr. We'll talk on movies and whatever else is going on, and Jelly Rule and his talk, and he gave in testimony to Congress the other day later on too more sterling all before midnight, and I got a red eye radio on seven hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

His attorney previously said that d Giovanni was at the Capitol riot to express his views and didn't go do any damage. D Giovanni is scheduled for sentencing in April. Our next update is at twelve o'clock. I'm Whitney Harris, News Radio seven hundred WLW. Friday, Sterling. The weekend is here, the cold weather is here. Maybe you're not going to go streaming. Maybe you'll actually bust out before the real wicket cold comes and check out, you know, a movie or two in between that and playoff football sands the Bengals. Don't get me going, Kevin Carr. Fat guys at the movies? How are you? Are you prepared for the cold in the what has come out? I guess it's January and Ohio in the Tri State. What do you expect? Well, January everywhere right now. To be honest, that's true. My bad, I didn't realize that. I'm I'm honkered down. I'm ready for the cold weather. I personally love the cold weather because it's it's quiet. When it's one out, nobody is doing leaf blowing. I hadn't thought of that. So, in other words, your loud neighbors are forced to go inside and be loud to themselves. Yeah. Well, it's like, and it's for everything. Nobody's doing construction, nobody's doing yard work, and nobody's leaving that hopefully not leaving their dogs out there to bark for an hour and a half. That's true. The dog goes bark, bark, and then it's like, I'm done and wants to go back in I do all too well. My dog looked at me earlier even he went out. He hit the big tree and then turned around and was back to the door before I could even scan the rest of the yard. He was like, you can stay, but I'm going in. Yeah. But then you know, then they're like, well, wait, I'm gonna have to go out again in ten minutes. Correct, Well wait, he let me in so I can go out again. You know that. That's the way dogs work. But even the dogs, they know it's too cold to mess around. So, I mean, every the world's an outhouse to them. I feel bad for dogs sometimes they don't. They don't you know, you got to go and you get to do it. You have to be efficient in your plumbing or it's gonna be uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah, it's on demand. I mean, it's really the all time, forever and always on demand. Was once we started bringing them inside, they had to do it outside or else. Yeah, yeah, that's true. All right. So if you still haven't figured out litter boxes and bathrooms, cats cats are cats have really pulled the wool over everybody's eyes because they're like, we will pee and do our business in one area of the house. It's still gonna smell like we're doing it everywhere, but trust me, we'll just keep it to this one place. They are very neat usually and they don't like dirty. That's true, all right, So if the dog is stuck inside, but we're going to venture out, what's at the theater that's worth the like actually dealing with the nasty weather such that it is to see anything. I mean, this is that weird time, right or are we into the like that all the good movies are coming out before awards? No? No, no, I mean right now we're still kind of adultrums. It's a bigger movie week this week because there are some big releases, but yeah, you had the big stuff come out last year. There are some there are some stuff that got moved because of the labor disputes, but those aren't going to start really hitting until March. But right now, the big movie for this weekend is Mean Girls. Oh yeah, you're a huge fan. Well yeah, well they made that how long ago? The original twenty years ago? And I know you've been cosplaying Regina Georgia on It's all good, So it's a yeah, the original movie came out twenty years ago and then they made a Broadway musical, and now this is the movie of the Broadway musical. Everybody knows that because the trailers don't necessarily telegraph that it's a musical. But there are definitely song and dance numbers in this. Okay, what's interesting, Well, the story is for those who don't know what the story is, it's about this girl who goes to high school for the first time because she'd been homeschool and lived abroad, and she gets involved in this this whole popularity click and the ups and downs of that. It's it's the scripts by Tina Fey. She did the original script and she did this script. I'd like to get a job like that, pay me twenty dollars, you know, every twenty years to do the same thing. And that's the I've never actually seen the original movie, so wow, it was unique. How was it that I've seen it? It wasn't. There's Lindsay lohand there was you mentioned Tina fa She's in Amanda Seyfreud or say I forget how to say her name, A man to say Freid. It's got a lot of the same people involved, and it's an updated verse of it. And this is really made for the fans. Like I said, I've never seen the original, so it was a unique way of watching this because you know, I was coming in completely cold, right, and I mean, it's fine works, it's funny, it has some good moments. It has a nice song of dance numbers, although they do I think at times draw away from the story and the movie itself, but that's that's that's musicals for you. And I had my complaints about it, but I'm not the target market. I mean, I'm obviously not having seen the original movie. I'm not a big fan of it, but I've been telling people love there. I never saw it. I think there were conflicting screenings that night because I was doing film reviews back then. But I think what's if I recall it just was a movie that was coming out, and then it did very well and suddenly people were like, this is actually a really good movie. You should check it out. So it wasn't like, you know, like Barbie, everybody knew Barbie was going to be big coming up to it. I take Barbie as a because it does have sort of that connective tissue to it, and certainly the difference to the same color palette. But that's I think what happened with the original. So by the time it became a big hit, you know, sort of like the time to review it had already passed. Gotcha, Well this is new one, though, if you're in the market for it, right, or if you're in that target demo or taking kids that are or forced into seeing it, regardless of the way you look at it, I mean, you hope it's not painful. That's the thing. As a parent or an adult with the younger wins. How many movies do you sit through that you're like, boy, this is misery and how many to go, oh there are? This isn't actually half bad? Yeah, no, there's there's a different version. There's a different way of watching movies. If you are a parent with your kids. This is not a little kid movie. It is PG. Thirteen, so it most likely your kids. If your kids are wanting to see this movie, they don't want you sitting with them during this. But yeah, keep that in mind. There is some some humor in there, and jokes that are not are aimed at the high school audience, not the great school audience. What else is out there? I mean, because otherwise I mean the streaming at home. I mean, the list is absolutely endless. But I just love going to the movies. It's fun. It's there are things I blow hot and call on movies because I have to go so much business. Yeah, and so it's like, and I was thinking about this once, the biggest problem with with the crowds of a movie is it only takes a couple a holes in the theater to really kind of ruin it. It only takes two or three people or just one person on their phone in the front row. That's gonna make it a pain for everybody. That's That's that's unfortunately the way a lot of things are in this world. That you can have five hundred people behaving themselves and one or two people not then and it becomes a bad experience. Uh So, Aniquids would like, I went to a movie this week and I think it was like I was I was in the front, so there was almost a fight in the back. I don't know what was going on. Really, this is a screen or just a regular screen like showing well you usually it doesn't happen on a regular skin. Although I've seen I've seen some fights break out in a regular early screening. But this was one of those. AMC has this thing it's called screen Unseen where you buy a ticket blind and then you show up and then the movie, whatever the movie is, is and it's like a sneak preview of something that's cool. So yeah, So, I mean it's a neat thing to do, but you know it's it's they tend to be heavier screens. They tend to have more people in them. And I love going to the movies. When the greatest thing in the world is if you walk into a movie theater and it starts and nobody else is in there. Dude, I am telling you. Yeah, the Summer of Stirling when when I first left Cincinnati went to work in Columbus, fight Club came out American Beauty. I'm trying to think. There were two or three others, and I did the night show so I I could. I saw Matine movies and then I got to, you know, check out baseball with the Clippers there in Red's Baseball, and it was like the best summer of my life, almost as an adult. Anyway. Oh yeah, like I said, I or and then then what's terrible is if you're in the movie and you're the only one there, and then as the trailers are finishing, some other jerk comes in and it's like right in front of you, and seriously, there's an entire whole, whole whole place. So but but yeah, I mean it's so it's, uh, the any sort of experience where you're dealing with other people as unknowns. It's just people, problems people. When did you start sounding like me? Is that why we've gotten along all these years? I've never realized And just I'm listening to you going into really people this and I'm like, you're describing people. Well, it's one of those things like like the the idea of people I'm okay with. I mean, I'm fine with people out there, just not near you. Yeah, I totally get it. I absolutely do. If I could get them out of my head, that would be a whole other story. Oh my goodness. Well you know that's that's that's else about that one. Yeah, I think that my co payment. I don't know what that is. I got to check for this season anyway. So what else is there? Is there anything else actually out in theaters? I mean, I mean that we want to go see this brand new Well there's two other new movies out there. Well, there's The Beekeeper, which is Jason Stathum action movie. I've not seen it. They didn't screen that. I didn't give an opportunity to see it, but it's it's Jason Stathum January action movie. I love all that stuff, you know what I mean. I do find them fun. Yeah, I mean, Jason Stathum has been known for doing some garbage, but you know, his his January stuff sometimes tends to be good. There's also one called The Book of Clarence. Oh, I've seen the trailers for that. What is that about? That's that's a real mixed bag because it's sort of like the story it's about what well if slacker, but I mean it takes place during the time of Jesus in Jerusalem, so whatever that era's version of a slacker is. That's what it's about. And he's he's sort of this con man. He's trying to make his way in life. It is. He's it's sort of like a It starts off kind of like a Friday movie, maybe Good Friday, you know, because you know it's takes place some time of Jesus. So it's and he decides to his names Clarence, and he decides to mimic being the Messiah and thinking he can find it that's a way to sort of swindle people out of money, and and then it kind of snowballs and it kind of turns into this thing and uh, he's dealing with the consequences of that and and so but it goes from being that sort of silly movie and then it like takes these these sharp turns into very serious contemplations and deconstruction of religion and what what's it means to present yourself a certain way? And can you become what you say you're going to be? And so there's it's very heavy at times, and that's kind of in conflict with itself. It's jarring going from the overt comedy to that very serious stuff. I mean, like, it's not that you can't do it, you know, Monty Python did it with this very topic in Life of Brian. That's right, and that's a brilliant movie, it really is. But this one it's at odds with itself and it makes it very frustrating to watch. Okay, well, I don't know, I have enough frustration in my life. But something anyway, I think I'd read, and I don't know if maybe I'm delusional. I should have looked it up before I even mentioned it. That's called show prep. Jay Z has a hand in this, either as a producer or is his music in it or both or something. I mean, I don't know if I produced it, I put my music in it. Well, yeah, it's it's a it's a very man a low sound check. No, it's jay Z's involved in because Jane Samuels is the director. He did a movie called The Hearder They fall on Netflix a couple of years ago, which is a black western. It's a really good movie, it is, and it has that that that power behind it and that. But it has that soundtrack too, and this one preserves it. So it's anachronistic, you know. I mean, they didn't have this style of music back in Judea two thousand years ago. They were streaming too on the iHeartRadio app. Right, it's been the whole time. Who knew, you know? I mean, but you know everyone has their own cross the beer, but this one, Uh, that's how Jaj's involved it. They do a lot of music and the soundtrack is heavily uh modernized. We'll say I gotchaisod it keeps people sort of like in the game or whatever else. Sure, I've seen the trailer. It looks incredible. And we've talked about Nick Cage for years and it's hit and miss, but the trailer for him in Sympathy of the Devil looks absolutely stunning. He I mean, like, it would be so fun to play the villain he apparently is playing. This Is that that that one where with Joe Kinneman where he uh takes him like hostage or something takes Yeah, he gets in his car. Yeah exactly, And and okay, yeah that one actually that that h that was available on on streaming started u or it may have hit like streaming services, but it was like sort of like a new movie several months ago. So I've actually seen that. Yeah, it's it's very typical Cage where he goes overboard and he's very he's very cage in this movie. But it has some interesting stuff going on. It is a It has some neat twists and ideas. The whole thing is is he shows up in this guy's car who's trying to get to the hospital because his wife's having the baby, and and he's like, no, you're this you're this guy used to work for this mobster years ago. And he's like, no, I'm not that guy. He's like, no, we're gonna and so he he basically takes some hostage and I mean it is a great Cage performs. That's the thing about Nicholas Cage is stuff. Now. It's like when he was in bankruptcy and everything and paying off debt and he just took any movie and you had no sense of quality. Now he takes some very small roles, but at least they're more interesting now. They're they're those fringe roles that that are kind of cool. Yeah, I mean, I've always he's an interesting guy. And I know, I don't know if you bought like dinosaur bones or monkey heads. I don't know what was going on. I know he had a lot of property things win sideways. So yeah, he had his issues. Well it was because he got divorced and like he used to own a copy of the Action Comics number one. I know he had to divest that. Oh Action comic of course, the premier the debut of Superman, right, Well, I mean that that'll get you out of trouble if you need some money. I suppose, but they might break your heart too. I don't know anyway, So all right, I think that's what I can't remember. It was number one, I know, like the Batman appeared to Detective Comics number twenty seven. Okay, that's my comic book nerd. I don't know. I don't have as much of that nerd in me, but I did. Used to ride my skateboard down to the King Quick or the seven eleven, and it depending and get you know something about once or twice a week. But you know, turnstiles. Weren't those cool? Those little like turning metal displays? I love those, that's true. The big rack, yep, there was a kid who knocked one down when I was in there one day, and it was though they were pissed it, but it was. It was a mess. I don't know what was going on. It was just a big racket. I mean, he's not the first kid in the history of the world to knock one of those down. Those are not the sturdiest pieces of machinery. No, it's very true. Anything else before you pop, this is turning into the long segment. I apologize, but I appreciate you being here. It's always fun conversation. Yeah it is. I like to please. No, I'm pretty good. I think that kind of wraps it up. And like I said, it's a relatively slow time. There are a couple of streaming stuff, but yeah, we can talk about it. There you go, enjoy the rest of your weekend. He's Kevin Carr, fat guys at the movies. I try to say, find him and fat guys of the movies at the same time. I don't get paid to talk much anyway. Thank you, Kevin, Take care of yourself.

I wanted to play a portion of and at least this testimony that Jelly Roll did in front of Congress. It was yesterday afternoon or yesterday morning. He's known as a country rock. I don't know what you want to call him. He's a superstar and quite an interesting background, and he'll talk about that. I want to give you an earfool of what he said to Congress in testimony talking about the fentanyl crisis, which in the tri State and basically the rest of the country has had to deal with for a long time. And hopefully it opened some eyes. I don't know what difference it'll make with lawmakers and how they respond to it, but here's an ear full of what jelly Roll had to say. The note before I start that in these five minutes, I'll be speaking that somebody in the United States will die of a drug overdose, and it is almost a seventy two percent chance that during those five minutes it will be Fitinyel related. Having started that way, Chairman Brown, ranking Members Scott, and esteem committee members, thank you for having me. I know this is a bit of a curve ball, but I like a little baseball myself. My name is Jason Dfour, but to most I am known as jelly Roll. I it is important to establish earlier that I am a musician and that I have no political alliance. I am neither Democrat nor Republican. In fact, because of my past, my right to vote has been restricted. Thusfoor, I have never paid attention to a political race in my life. Ironically, I think that makes me the perfect person to speak about this, because fentanyl transcends partisanship and ideology. Gentlemen and women, this is a totally different problem. And nah I was speaking outside to the media, and I gave him a statistic to set one hundred and ninety people a day overdose and die every single day in the United States of America. That is about a seven thirty seven plane. That's what about a seven thirty seven aircraft can carry. Could you imagine the national media attention it would get if they were reporting that a plane was crashing every single day and killing one hundred and ninety people. But because it's one hundred and ninety drug addicts, we don't feel that way. Because America has been known to bully and shame drug addicts instead of dealing and trying to understand what the actual root of the problem is with that. But the sad news is that that narrative is changing too, because the statistics say that, in all likelihood, almost every person in this room has lost a friend, family member, or colleague to the disease known as addiction. I've attended more funerals and I care to share with y'all this committee. I could sit here and cry for days the caskets I've carried of people I loved dearly, deeply in my soul, good people, not just drug addicts, uncles, friends, cousins, normal people, some people that just got in a car wreck and started taking a pain pill to manage it. One thing led to the other, and how fast it spirals out of control. I don't think people truly truly understand. There you go, that's Jelly Roll, just a little bit of it. And he talks about the fact that every day nearly two hundred people die of overdose fentanyl related basically in the US, which is like an aircraft crashing, and the monumental difference that attention in that circumstance and what it would get comparatively to is He just described what people think of in judging a package by its cover, which is probably why such a surprise was taken by Jelly Roll, as he addressed in testimony to those members of Congress the other day. Anyway, I wanted to leave you with a little of that post of the full thing at Sterling Radio on x or Twitter call it what you want. Talk to you in about a week's time. Bear Cats in action tomorrow, Musketeers in action tomorrow on the Big One. Hopefully we'll have some winning ways for them, and a whole lot of football Sunday on the Home of the Reds, the Bengals, Bearcats, Musketeers, me Sterling and of course my Man McMahon producing and Whitney Harris, who has news now before Red Eye Radio on seven hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

From initial reports, it looks like they not only went after the sites where they launched these Iranian supplied weapons. They went after multiple, if not dozens of storage facilities, which is exactly what we needed to do. We needed to degrade their ability to attack these ships. Our ships and these commercial ships, particularly how this does affect global economies around the world and the world's energy supply.
