[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sam.
Hey, everybody. Welcome to my world. How's your world doing?
I don't know about you, but I tell you what, I've had a crazy week so far. I think I'm going to have a crazier week that's left.
I can't figure out what's going on in this world.
A bunch of crazy, crazy stuff. And I'll tell you what, I've had some problems with this, I guess, setup the camera.
It hasn't been changed, but obviously there was an update somewhere, and it messed everything up. And so just prior to the show, here I am running around and trying to make changes, and I don't know if I have anything good on the camera. Definitely not my face.
Exciting thing today. I want to go get a haircut, believe me. I mean, a bald guy getting a haircut, the sides grow out. So what did I have to do? I had to go get a haircut.
And the barber, she does my hair, and she does a really good job, but she got fixated with a bald head, and she started rubbing my head, and she says, oh, I love a smooth head. And I'm like, oh, my God.
What. What do I say to that?
Oh, man. Ah. I paid my bill, gave her a tap and left. I mean, you know, I had to get home. I had a lot of stuff to do.
Oh, it's just been. It's been one of those. One of those weeks.
And maybe next week will be a little bit more sane than what this week is.
Oh, I just hope that you're having a good week, and I hope your week gets better as it rolls along, especially when it gets to tgif, you know? Thank God it's Friday.
Okay, well, hey, we got to do a disclaimer before we do anything else, but we do have an interesting show tonight. I got to talk about a few things, and we've got something about Cincinnati, and some things I got to talk about about Cincinnati. But we get some interesting stuff and some funny stuff, too. Anyhow, we've got to do a disclaimer. So nothing in this show should be considered legal, medical, financial, or investment advice. Take what we say with a big grain of salt. I mean, a big grain of salt. And always do your own research and due diligence. We're not responsible for and expressly disclaim old liability for damages of any kind arising out of, use, reference to, or reliance on any information contained in this broadcast. Breathe.
Any persons or characters mentioned are, for the most part fictional or as close to it as we can get. So sit back, relax and chill out. And I hope you brought your snacks and your beverage.
Are you kicking back in the easy chair? Are you chilling out?
Because tonight's a chill out night. We don't get into a lot of serious stuff. We like to have a little fun on Wednesday nights.
Also, tell your friends about the show and have them join us every Wednesday night live.
And oh man, we have to do some shout outs because if I don't do that, the bosses, you know, they get a little angry. Well, perturbed, I'll. They don't get angry, they just get perturbed. That's a fancy word for, I guess, for getting angry. Oh, well, anyhow, guys, let's see what I've got here on the tap because we have to talk a little bit about, of course, trimradio.com because that's what we're on. We're on the air.
And I'll tell you what, we go all over the world and it's an interesting thing today. I was getting people that wanted to watch the show from not only Myanmar, which is the old Burma, but India, South Africa, Kenya and a couple other countries. And I, I couldn't quite figure out where they were at because they just gave the cities.
But anyhow, they're invited, like you will be. All you have to do is ask and we'll get you in and you can, you can watch our shows. It's very easy to do, but just go to trimradio.com and check out our new web page, actually website. We've got a lot of stuff we do and we cut the bull and we serve the truth.
Except on Wednesday nights kind of, we kind of sit back, we kind of joke around a little bit.
We do talk about some serious stuff once in a while. But then we've got other shows and other creators and I'll tell you what, I have to talk about the leadership.
I always do because it's a big shout out. You know, when I click on this thing, there's the magic boxes.
We gotta find a way to get rid of those.
But we have Michael Behas, who's the founder and CEO. A big shout out to Michael and Rascala Stefan, who's the chief operating officer and I guess my mug is there and they call me the chief relationship officer, which I haven't figured that out yet.
Maybe somebody can help me out with that one because that's, that's got me, I guess I'm responsible for building and maintaining the founding foundational trust and goodwill necessary for long Term success. Well, yeah, I'd like to promote success, wouldn't you?
So anyhow. Oh man, I'll tell you what. What, What a title. Well, anyhow, we've also got Victoria Smith, the chief marketing Officer, responsible for all marketing activities, brand development, audience growth and creator acquisition strategies.
Yeah, so that's the motley crew that we have here. And I'll tell you what, they're all good people. I really enjoy working with these guys. It's a hoot. We have a lot of fun.
But you know, when you take a look at TRIM Radio, it's not just the website, it's not the team.
You know, we've got our different shows, if you click on that. And of course these little magical boxes will go ahead and load once in a while.

None of us get paid for doing our shows.
None of us.
And really, I don't want to be paid.
I've never been paid for doing a show in, golly, 16 years.
Why? Because I don't. I don't want to be paid.
I'm having fun doing this. Hopefully you're going to be having fun, and hopefully you learn something from the show.
And that's. That's the one thing I want to do. Teach people about certain things, especially on money and change.
And we hope you save some money in watching that show. But also with my world, learning to just lighten up, you know, this world is so crazy anymore. A lot of stuff is going on.
Sometimes you think you're watching a movie, you know, and the plot keeps changing. Or maybe it's a soap opera and the plot changes day by day, week by week, and you never know how things are going to end.
So that's what gets a little crazy. So, you know, check us out.

No, you don't.
We don't do that.
But anything that's important or informative, I will put it here. You can watch the videos for free.
You can check out the news and I will always post something about we're going to do a live show, like right here.
And all you have to do is check to see if we're going to do a live show, which is probably 90% of the time we're doing a live show on something unless something very, very, very important comes up.
So when it does come up, I'll still try to do a show.
It's just, it's one of those things, you know, things happen.
And so we like to entertain people with this show.
Oh, a big shout out to the University of
[email protected] I n d l a y.edu hey, the kids are going back to school. Actually, the students, I can't call them, they're kids to me, but they're, you know, they're young adults and adults going to school. And August is the month usually for a lot of schools, they get you there the last week of August or the next to last week of August, and they have their rituals and whatever and you lug all the stuff that you think you're going to need into your dorm room if you're living in a dorm room.
And I remember those days, whether it was at the University of Findlay, which I was lucky, generally, I lived on the first floor and that was great, I loved that.
But then occasionally you get moved up to the third floor. You have to carry some stuff up the steps and you can have heavy trunks and, you know, you're at that time typewriter now it would be computers and everything else. And so it's, it's move in time and that's what you do.
And it's interesting, it's an interesting time. And you get to meet new friends, old friends from the year before, the professors and everything. And we're going to have a video about that later on.
So, you know. But check us out right here on our TRIM Radio network.
It's my world, you know, live left, whatever. Okay.
Oh, what else is going on besides the University of Finlay?
Rusty ducks Custom Pens and blanks.
Yeah. If you want to have a presentation pen for your sorority or fraternity or your college or university, your business, whatever, guess what?
Get a hold of Rusty Ducks custom pens and blanks. They're on Facebook.
And Phil, who is the owner, will get in touch with you. I mean, he makes some really good stuff. And I'll tell you what, those pens are on a cross pen platform and they are really good. Both Michael Behas and I have those pens. I think he's got a couple of them. He's been working on a fancy car with the most beautiful paint job I've ever seen.
And it's got all kinds of graphics on it. It's a beautiful car.
And he wanted to have a pen made commemorating, I believe it was a Cobra.
Well, anyhow, it's a beautiful pen. Trust me. Phil has a second amendment pen. You have to check that out, too. What else is going on? We've got the big family homestead with Brad and Krista on YouTube. We've got the deep south homestead at Pecan Grove with Danny and Wanda King.
And they're talking about hot weather in the south.
Southern Prepper 1 with Dave Cobler. He hasn't put a video on yet this week. He will probably do one. He usually does one or two a week.
What does he talk about? The economy.
We also have the Patriot nurse. We have Prepper Nurse 1 with Ed Carswell building his little compound in West Virginia.
We have prep apprentice with Amber Stork. Self made millionaires.
She says I'm a millionaire. Well, no technical term is your millionaires because you're female.
But she lives beneath her means, okay? She knows how to save money. Watch those videos when they come up. And they're usually on Money and Change. So you want to check those videos out. LDS prepper. Oh, my goodness.
David Gilmore. I want to tell you, he got me started on a hobby. This is a GMRS radio and it's an Ocean 935G Plus. With this and an Nagoya 771G antenna, I can talk 35 miles to a repeater in Dayton, Ohio. And from there I can get out 95 miles or even more.
In one case, I was able to communicate to the other side of Columbus, Ohio. And that was, I believe, to Lancaster to the repeater there.
And that it happens from time to time based on the atmosphere. But this radio is really decent. It's not a bubble wrap that you get at Wally World or at Costco or Sam's.
I got this from Better Safe Radios is one of Them and buy two way radios is another place. They're both good places. I don't get paid for ads or anything, but that's just where I happened to get this radio. And this is a good one. I mean it is a good one and an excellent antenna. The Nagoya antennas were fantastic antennas back then and they are now.
So $35 for a one time payment for it's good for 10 years for, for that license and anybody in your family can use it. It's great to set up networks in town for emergencies like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes. I mean it's great to have and your family can communicate and other people in town if they get a GMRS radio license and a good radio, hey, you can set up a network and you can do community watches or whatever. It's a good radio and if it wasn't, I wouldn't recommend it. Okay, check them out.
Wow. What else is going on?
Oh yes, the Max. He's been having trouble with YouTube lately.
They keep hassling him, but he has very good content.
So you want to check out Colby at the Max, the Mac apostrophe s. Okay, check them out.
Wow. What's going on?
Fcc.
No, it isn't the fcc. I just talked about the fcc. It's the FTC fact. Federal Trade Commission warns of dangerous new twists on phone calls. Scams. And if you get them, hang up immediately.
Don't argue with them, don't talk to them, just hang up.
I mean we're all getting scams all the time. And sometimes I get a scam call and they say, oh, you have property at such and such a place you want to sell.
I don't trust you guys. And so what I do, I say, yeah, I'll sell it. $3 million beginning offer. And I've got four other people or seven other people or 20 other people that want to bid on it. Click. They hang up.
And the next time it's the same person, oh, it's $4 million now or it's $5 million. Click. Each time they're trying to scam you out of something.
And I don't like scams. I know a lot of my friends don't like scams.
They don't like to be bothered on their cell phone or their regular landline. I mean, I even hate junk mail.
And I've been thinking about, well, there might be the possibility of start using Proton Mail.
Yeah, I have to pay for it, but I don't get all these ads and everything that you get with Gmail. I mean Gmail's nice, but you get too many unwanted ads and too many scams.
So, you know, here's the FCTC is warning a dangerous news twist on phone call scams. And it says scammers are pretending to be law enforcement officials accusing you of missing jury duty so they can steal your personal information, according to Federal Trade Communication or Commission.
I'm gonna get tongue tied tonight. Federal Trade Commission.
Now, these scam calls kind of sound like they're from an officer in your local police department who claims that you've missed jury duty and will be arrested unless you pay a fine on a website and they'll send it to you.
And people get suckered into that.
Don't even listen to it.
I had an email one time that I, I missed jury duty and I sent him a response back. I said, sorry, this is a scam and you've just been reported to the FTC and the local police.
Have a good day.
I never received anything back.
And I run a lot of antivirus.
Every morning before I close out for lunch, I will go ahead and run my antivirus and cover the whole machine.
And I make sure that that's done every day, religiously. And at night when I shut everything down, I do the same thing. I run a scan and take care of business if it needs to be taken care of. Okay.
Now, they say that the website may look legitimate at first glance. The URL sounds official and the site itself is adorned with fake government seals. And once you're there, you'll be prompted to enter your date of birth and Social Security number to look up how much you owe. Guess what?
They don't contact you for that. If anything, you get a letter or maybe somebody in a uniform knocks at your door and says, you know, here's a piece of paper and you need to see the, the county prosecutor or the judge or whatever. Okay? So watch out for scams because, I mean, they are out there.
Trump threatens federal control of D.C. allowing attacks on administrative staff known as big balls.
Well, let's put it this way, the DC is not a state, it's a, it's a federal district.
And so if they need to invoke martial law for anything because of crime, shootings and so forth, they can do that.
And their procedures, legal procedures that they have to follow.
Wow. An obscure disease keeps spreading through air conditioning.
You run your air conditioning a lot?
Air conditioning has been a lifesaver in recent weeks for broad swaths of Americans left sweating and worse from scorching temperatures.
But in parts of upper Manhattan, the Quest for cool air has led to disease and death.
And deep inside cooling towers of nearly a dozen apartment buildings, bacteria have taken advantage of poor maintenance to flush and expand.
As large air conditioning systems blew cool air into apartments, the bacteria hitched rides on the warm air. They spewed out in another direction, in, in the other direction, into the Harlem skyline.
Those are the old style air conditioners. Your house air conditioner. Make sure it is clean.
Get your duct work taken care of. Oh, guess what? I have Spam.
Just what I don't need. I mentioned New York and I get spam calls. Well, they got, they got the thumb.
I just thumbed them off.
Anyhow, modern day air conditioners, you shouldn't have that type of problem. It's just in the old ones.
Just make sure that your vents are clean.
Make sure that if you think you have a, a bug. What I usually do is I run the heat. I turn the heat on for a little bit and run it at about 80 degrees.
And if there's any mold or whatever, that takes care of it. And sometimes I use sprays.
So, you know, that's one thing to look at. Oh, what else is going on? Oh, Texas and the reapportionment or redistricting. Wow.
I've been listening to this thing and a bunch of the Democrats suddenly skipped out of Dodge and they, they went up to Chicago and they went to California and so forth. And the governor says, hey, you violated law, you skipped out. You have your duty to vote and you skipped out.
And we can't have a vote one way or the other.
And so by skipping out and you violated the law, the Texas law, Then we're going to have the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers go looking for you. Well, they can only look in Texas, but then they want to get the FBI involved because that's a federal issue.
Skipping out like that, it's going to be a big hullabaloo and, you know, people just need to sit down and work things out. Speaking of work things out, check this out.
[00:27:01] Speaker B: All University of Philly was buzzing with activity today, welcoming a new freshman class to campus as well as paying homage to an honored tradition that dates back to 1923. Actually, reporter J.D. pooley spent the morning with the Oilers. Here's the story, all new tonight.
Universities across the country are steeped in tradition. That's the case here at the University of Finley, where they'll mark 100 years under arch Ser.
[00:27:27] Speaker A: Ceremony.
[00:27:27] Speaker C: It's our most beloved tradition.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: The university will honor more than 600 incoming freshmen, when they walk through the Griffith Memorial Arch, the lore on campus.
[00:27:37] Speaker C: Is that they don't dare walk under the arch until they graduate. There are bad things that might happen.
Of course, we don't really believe that.
[00:27:45] Speaker B: Just across campus, Brad Watkins was unpacking his car, moving his son Jaden into the dorm where Jaden will start his freshman year. Sad.
It's been bittersweet. Excited for him and sad for us. But it's really exciting to see this new adventure up here. The move in took a team of volunteers. Upperclassmen from various sports organizations volunteered their time for the heavy lifting. It's a little humid, but we're here in the morning section. We got some cooler air. It's not bad. Today, along with welcoming in the freshman class, the university said hello to the school's new distance doctor of Pharmacy program.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: Many of these students have small children or have maybe a spouse that isn't. They can't up and move to Findlay for four years. They do have to come back here in the summer to do the hands on things that we really can't assess without them, us actually putting eyes on it and seeing. So don't worry, they're gonna know what they're doing.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: First day of classes start on Monday here on campus and students will be avoiding this arch until they graduate. And Finley, JD POY 13 Action News.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Well, I'll tell you what, I walked under that arch going in and I walked out going out.
And for some reason I never, for some reason I just never walked under the arch again. It was always out through the side gates.
And I did okay. I mean, I graduated, right?
I went on to get a master's degree, learned to do different things.
But I think we had to wear beanies back then. I, that's one thing. I think I put it in my back pocket. I refused to wear the beanie going in. And they said, well, you're a freshman. I said, no, I transferred in.
I'm a second semester sophomore, so I don't need a beanie. And they left me alone.
Okay. So anyhow, a lot of schools have different traditions. A lot of people are going to school and so you want to, you really want to check them out. Hey, one thing tonight.
Oh, I wanted to talk about WKRP and what is interesting about that, I was in Cincinnati way back when, in the 80s when WKRP was on the air. And actually it started out in California and it got nationally syndicated and went all over the place. So for that I'm going to try, if I Can do it.
Try my visual effects because, ah, there we are. WKRP in Cincinnati.
And I didn't work right downtown at the fountain, but I was about a block away.
And I'll tell you what, I had a good time there. And it. It was interesting. It really was. But WKRP was on the air and I used to watch it. I think it was Tuesday nights.
And it was so interesting to see what's going on at WKRP in Cincinnati because it took place in the Flim building. And people said, the Flim Building? And I said, yeah, it was actually the Enquirer building where I worked. And I worked on the ninth floor of the Enquirer building. But WKRP was not there, wasn't on that floor. It was a hypothetical thing. But it was interesting to see that show because it brought up interesting things about Cincinnati and things that went on there, you know, and back then, you didn't have muggings downtown like they have had in the past two weeks.
And a lot of crime.
It wasn't that way. You could walk the streets at night with downtown with no problem.
There were always cops. Downtown cops were on horses back then, and they could outrun you. You couldn't outrun them. And it was an interesting deal with being in Cincinnati, and sometimes it was fun.
And one of my largest accounts happened to be the University of Cincinnati. And so I was always on campus at least two days a week, and then I was elsewhere in Cincinnati, whether it was a federal location or a state location.
But I always listened to wkrp and they were talking about a lot of things that were going on, and you got to watch things about the characters of wkrp.
And it was so funny they. They could have continued that on to this day. I mean, it was so funny. And after working at a radio station at the University of Finley, which was then Finley College, I could understand what was going on. Well, anyhow, let's see what I've got for WKRP for today.
A little bit of history about it.
You know, you had Les Nessman. You had Jennifer Marlo, who just passed away, by the way. Lori or Lonnie Anderson just passed away. And she was the receptionist. She was the highest paid employee.
She was strictly eye candy for the station. And Mr. Carlson would ask her certain things, and she was already ahead of it. And other guys would ask her to do things, and she says, no, I just answer the phone and file my nails. She doesn't do any filing or anything like that. And then, of course, there was Herb Tarleck. And he was a sales manager that was really a jerk.
We have Venus Flytrap, which was Tim Reed. And then we have Bailey Quarters. And you know a lot of people, and they were all good. Johnny Fever. Howard Hessman, he was. He was. He was my favorite. He was the hippie of the bunch. Andy Travis, who was Gary Sandy.
And he was kind of like the vice president, program person. And Arthur Carlson, which is Gordon Jump.
He played a stupid station manager to the hilt. And he was something else. But let's see if you can remember this one.
If I can get the sound to go. What's going on with the sound?
Well.
[00:34:15] Speaker B: Well, yeah, but D.C. football is still.
[00:34:16] Speaker A: The number one spectator sport in the world.
What's happening? And he's dating Mrs. Carlson.
Don't tell him.
[00:34:26] Speaker D: And he's not dating Mrs. Carlson.
[00:34:29] Speaker A: Which one? His wife or his mother?
[00:34:32] Speaker B: His mother.
[00:34:32] Speaker D: What kind of guy do you think I am?
[00:34:37] Speaker A: Gee, Travis, I don't know.
[00:34:40] Speaker B: It was nothing.
[00:34:41] Speaker E: We need a new transmitter.
[00:34:42] Speaker A: The insurance only pays for so much.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: I'm trying to get money from her.
[00:34:46] Speaker A: How much did you get so far?
[00:34:50] Speaker D: Do me a favor.
[00:34:51] Speaker B: Just don't let this get around the station. Right, Andy, let's know. I just don't want Mr. Carlson to know that, so.
[00:34:57] Speaker A: Oh, I don't think he cares. No, it's business.
[00:35:02] Speaker E: You sure she's not wooing you?
[00:35:05] Speaker B: When we.
[00:35:06] Speaker A: You heard him.
[00:35:09] Speaker F: They don't believe how toxic.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: Wooing.
That's some stuff that was going. This actually got out of sequence. What the heck is going on here? I don't need an ad.
Well, let's get to the other stuff we had.
I had the. The whole thing set up here. Something happened. What's going on here?
Check this one out. Johnny Fever again. WKRP in Cincinnati. Dear Travis.
[00:35:39] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: Cool. I'm Johnny Caravello. I'm also known as Johnny Midnight Johnny Cool. Johnny Duke, Johnny Style and Johnny Sunshine.
You can call me Johnny. Okay.
[00:36:52] Speaker A: Sam.
Wow, it skipped ahead.
What is going on tonight? I had this all set up, and we had the theme for wkrp.
We had everything set up, and all of a sudden weird stuff is happening.
My God. What in the world is going on here?
I don't know what's going on. Let's see if I can get. I don't need wkrp. The characters. We already did that.
My goodness. It just.
What is this?
AI Artificial intelligence.
I have no idea what's going on here.
The WKRP 3 theme song is what I wanted, and that's what I had.
What in the heck is going on here?
Here it is, the theme song to wkrp.
And hopefully the spooks and goblins are not messing with the computer.
Whatever became of you?
[00:38:52] Speaker C: I'm living on the air in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati. WKRB got kind of tired of packing.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: After.
[00:39:05] Speaker C: Down to town up and down.
[00:39:07] Speaker A: The line Just baby, think of me.
[00:39:15] Speaker C: Once in a while.
[00:39:28] Speaker A: Leaving you behind Hardest thing I ever had to do.
[00:39:34] Speaker C: Broke my heart too but baby pain, oh, mine the price will find me.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: Losing you.
[00:39:44] Speaker C: Behind the living Far away.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: From human feeling.
[00:39:55] Speaker A: Take good care of you.
[00:39:57] Speaker C: I gotta go.
[00:40:07] Speaker A: Yeah. And that was the. The full part of it. That was the full music of it. But they also had the introduction, and the introduction was right here.
Maybe I can get it to play.
And that was a short version of it.
And I'll tell you what, Cincinnati was really a neat place way back when. That's when Charlie Lucan was mayor. And then eventually Roxanne Quals was there.
And it was interesting because I had to. I had to interface with all of those people.
But then we had some news about one of the members of the cast, and that happened to be Lonnie Anderson.
And that. But that broke my heart. Even though she had been off the air for quite a while and she was married to Burt Reynolds.
You kind of miss those people in the acts that they played.
And then I found out that she passed away. And they said, well, she passed away at the age of 79 and she was almost going to be 80.
A couple days before birthday, she decides to pass. Well, things happen, but she will be missed because I'll tell you what, she was, I would say, the key figure in that show.
Let's listen to what the news had to say now.
[00:42:23] Speaker B: When I went to snooze at 5. We are following multiple breaking news stories on this Sunday. First, actress Lonnie Anderson has died at the age of 6 79. I'm Jory Rand.
[00:42:32] Speaker F: I'm Sophie Flay, Anderson's publicist confirming the news, saying the star from the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati passed today following a prolonged illness. Eyewitness news reporter Tim Pum joins us with more on the legacy the beloved actress leaves behind.
[00:42:45] Speaker D: Sophie Jewelry. Lonnie Anderson died just two days before her 80th birthday. She was best known for her Emmy winning role on the sitcom WKRP Cincinnati.
[00:42:55] Speaker F: You want me, Mr. Carson?
[00:42:56] Speaker B: I can, Jennifer, that.
[00:42:58] Speaker A: Have a seat.
[00:42:58] Speaker F: No, thank you.
[00:42:59] Speaker B: All right. This particular point in time, I would.
[00:43:02] Speaker A: Like to dictate a press release.
[00:43:04] Speaker F: I don't take dictations.
[00:43:08] Speaker A: What? Oh, all right.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: I guess I can do this thing myself. It's probably going to be a long.
[00:43:13] Speaker A: Meeting, though, so why don't you get.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: Coffee for all the guys here?
[00:43:15] Speaker F: I don't get coffee. Mr. Carlson, we agree.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
[00:43:20] Speaker D: The hit show about a radio station trying to revamp itself ran before four seasons. Anderson played the smart and sexy receptionist Jennifer Marlowe. The role earned her two Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe nominations. She also starred in other TV shows like Partners in Crime, and she appeared in Three's Company. We interviewed Anderson back in 2013 in Hollywood while she was signing autographs for fans.
[00:43:44] Speaker C: Here we are.
[00:43:44] Speaker A: We're really here. We're just waiting to meet people.
[00:43:48] Speaker D: Her film credits include A Night at the Roxburgh and the 1983 comedy Stroker Ace with Burt Reynolds. She later married Reynolds, but it ended in divorce. In 1994, Anderson died at a hospital in Los Angeles after a prolonged illness, according to her publicist. Now Anderson leaves behind her husband, Bob Flick, two adult children, and for grandkids. She was 79 years old and she had a loyal fan base, so I know they are grieving her death.
[00:44:12] Speaker B: As a child of the 80s, she was an icon for that decade.
[00:44:16] Speaker A: Sad news.
[00:44:18] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:44:20] Speaker A: Yeah, she will be missed. And that show, I mean, they could really bring back WKRP and redo it. They would just have to find the characters to fill Hessman's place because he passed away.
Gary, Sandy, I believe, is the only one that's living out of the bunch.
But they. They could find actors to replace that, kind of rewrite the show and so forth because it was funny. But here's Lonnie with Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller, and this is a Christmas skit that she did, and she played the part of a doll.
Wow.
[00:45:10] Speaker C: I hope this one comes with a set of instructions.
[00:45:15] Speaker G: But it was fun assembling this.
No wonder those elves have been smiling lately.
They must have peeked into my Playboy.
[00:45:26] Speaker F: My name is Serena. I am a robot. I am programmed to make a man happy with kissing and hugging.
[00:45:34] Speaker G: I don't believe this. You can talk?
[00:45:36] Speaker F: Of course. I am a robot. I have a set of speakers.
Even though you can't see my hardware, I'm run entirely by computers.
[00:45:53] Speaker G: Forget the hardware. Your software is gorgeous.
[00:45:57] Speaker F: Are you a man?
[00:45:59] Speaker G: If I'm not, our faith is human.
[00:46:02] Speaker F: My computer is ordering me to put my arms around you and put my lips against yours. Is that hugging and kissing?
[00:46:10] Speaker G: Well, you have to start somewhere, you know?
[00:46:14] Speaker C: Hey.
[00:46:15] Speaker G: I can't believe this. You feel real.
[00:46:17] Speaker F: I am made of plastic, Styrofoam and fiberglass. What are you made of?
[00:46:23] Speaker G: Snips and snails and puppy dog tails?
Believe me, they put everything on right.
[00:46:29] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:46:29] Speaker F: I feel my lips are wrong.
[00:46:32] Speaker G: Well, the least I can do is test them for you.
[00:46:38] Speaker F: Well, what about my lips?
[00:46:40] Speaker G: I think this calls for a second opinion.
[00:46:46] Speaker F: What do you think?
[00:46:47] Speaker G: Third opinion.
[00:46:54] Speaker C: Another woman.
And you told me your hobby was collecting muklugs.
Just what are you doing?
[00:47:02] Speaker G: Comparison shopping.
[00:47:05] Speaker C: This is no woman.
[00:47:06] Speaker G: It's a robot.
[00:47:07] Speaker C: Yeah, and I'm Pia Zadora.
That robot stuff. I know robots. I saw Star Wars.
I knew it. She's got flesh just like mine.
[00:47:20] Speaker G: How come she looks so much better in hers?
Serena, this is Ethel.
[00:47:28] Speaker F: I am very happy to meet you, Ethel. You have such a darling son.
[00:47:39] Speaker C: This is gonna be a lot of fun. I've never before dismantled a robot.
She's not my mother. She's my wife.
[00:47:46] Speaker F: Your wife? Oh, poor boy.
[00:47:51] Speaker G: Worst of it, the nights are six months long up here.
[00:47:57] Speaker C: You're for a dismantling, too?
[00:48:00] Speaker F: My computer informs me that you and I are of the same sex.
[00:48:04] Speaker G: Your computer drinks.
[00:48:08] Speaker F: You ever have married her?
[00:48:09] Speaker G: Well, it was a mistake. I proposed during a power failure.
[00:48:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
I'll tell you what.
Phyllis Diller was one heck of a comedian.
And to get her with Bob Hope all the time and then to add Lonnie Anderson in the mix was something to see that going on.
When I saw that show, I thought, okay, that that clip was interesting to see the two playing against the other.
Now, Phyllis Diller was actually from Lima, Ohio.
Yeah, she was there.
And Hugh Downs was from up at, I believe, ADA or no, he was at Bluffton, which was to the north of Lima. And you had some. A good news reporter in Hugh Downs, and then you had a comedian in Phyllis Dillard.
And I'll tell you what, it was interesting to see them on any TV show.
But then Lonnie Anderson, I had a thing that was all set up, and I'm going to see if I can pull it up while I'm talking here. Because WKRP had such a good show that I.
It's hard to say about how things were. Were really fun in that show. Things would happen that would. Well, let's put this way, equipment would break and they'd have to talk around it. And I had that set up, and it was outtakes and bloopers, and it was interesting to see what was going on.
But I'll tell you what, let's see if I can find that blooper. If I can find it, I'll play it. Because we just have a few minutes to go w KRP and Cincinnati Bloopers. Let's see if I have the videos for that.
Okay, we have enough. I might be able to play some of them.
So let's see. Let's see what I can do.
I'm going to go ahead and put up one of them here.
[00:50:55] Speaker E: As much as we are I love.
[00:50:56] Speaker A: Oh, you heard. You heard that.
But let's see if I can get this to where I can bring it up on the screen.
For some reason, the computer has been doing some really weird stuff lately and I can't figure out what's going on.
It's like AI has taken over or whatever. I don't think AI is such a good thing after all. But let's just see what we've got here.
See if I can bring it up. Okay, let's see. Here we go.
[00:51:27] Speaker E: WKRP for its clever writing, memorable characters and catchy theme song, we also have to admit it wasn't always smooth sailing behind the scenes. Like any long running show, WKRP had its share of bloopers, flubs and outtakes. Selling himself short Les Nessman, the diligent newsman of WKRP is known for his admittedly impressive, impressive achievement of winning the Buckeye Newshawk Award five times. But in a memorable bathroom scene from the first season's Fish Story episode, Les appears to have a lapse in memory regarding his proudest claim. Instead of confidently stating he's a five time winner, he stumbles and says he's only won the award twice. It's a funny moment that showcases Les endearing quirks and reminds us that even the most accomplished individuals can have an off day. Marital issues. The ever bumbling Les Nessman is notorious for his lack of social graces and dating woes, which are often played for laughs. However, in a surprising twist, the actor who portrayed Les, Richard Sanders, was actually married in real life. In a scene from the In Concert episode Eagle Eyed, viewers might notice Sanders forgot to remove his wedding ring for the shot. Pew pew. One of the most unforgettable moments from the first season sees our favorite radio DJ Johnny Fox Fever taken hostage by an aspiring disc jockey who robs a stereo store. In a bid to prove that the gun he's wielding is empty, the delusional thief fires a shot at a nearby speaker. The bullet hole is clearly visible on the speaker, which then topples over, but there's a small hitch. When the speaker falls, the bullet hole falls off with it. While the store owner must have been in a state of panic during the incident, at least he can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing the damage to his equipment wasn't as bad as he thought. Drop the Needle Die Hard WKRP enthusiasts may have picked up on a peculiar detail while watching Their favorite radio DJs Spin Vinyls Live on air. If you have a perceptive eye, you might have noticed the records on the turntables occasionally experience some minor hiccups. Perhaps the record is spinning at the wrong speed or even completely backwards, but there's one moment from the pilot that'll make any vinyl aficionado cringe harder than a deep scratch scratch on a precious LP. It's when our beloved Dr. Johnny Fever is playing a record, but shockingly, the needle is resting on the label instead of the groove. Another Audio Mishap One of the most blatant blunders made by the WKRP DJs is when the record playing suddenly switches in between shots. In the classic episode Turkeys Away, there's a prime example of this mistake. As the camera pans over to Venus Flytrap and then back to Johnny, you can see the label on the record abruptly changing from yellow to black. It's a noticeable slip up that can take you out of the moment, but hey, nobody's perfect. Real World Mementos in the late 70s, when WKRP in Cincinnati first hit the small screen, radio DJs across the country were thrilled to see a show that depicted their beloved industry in a way that had never been done. The series was so popular among actual radio DJs they started sending in bumper stickers, posters and other swag to decorate the walls of the TV radio station's studio. This led to a fantastic display of music memorabilia and helped create an even more authentic atmosphere for the show. From rock to jazz. The walls were adorned with stickers and posters of different genres, making it a haven for music lovers. Needless to say, the show was a hit with radio DJs and music enthusiasts alike going up in one of the early, wackier episodes of wkrp, appropriately titled Hoodlum Rock, Johnny Fever finds himself tasked with babysitting a group of rowdy rockers in a hotel room. Things quickly spiral out of control, culminating in the rockers tossing the hapless bellhop out of the window. As they survey the aftermath of their shenanigans, the rockers turn to Johnny and ask what floor.
[00:55:14] Speaker A: Are we on?
[00:55:15] Speaker E: With a sly grin, Johnny deadpans first. Unfortunately for him, sharp eyed fans have pointed out that the level of the antique store sign outside the window suggests they're actually on a higher floor. Poor bellhop. Indeed. At least he wasn't the one caught in Johnny's fib. The Great Midwest Palm Trees. In an amusing turn of events, Herb Tarlek's family is chosen to appear on the reality show Real Families during WKRP in Cincinnati's third season. As part of the documentary's filming, footage is shot outside of Herb's house and during his daily commute. Astute viewers might spot a curious detail in the background of these scenes. Palm trees, finding the roadside. Of course, this is because the show was filmed in Hollywood, a location far removed from the Ohio setting of wkrp. It's just.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right, far removed from WKRP in Cincinnati. It was in Hollywood and that's where it originated.
And then later on it was nationally syndicated.
But I'll tell you what, it was so much fun to watch that show. It was great.
You know, after a hard day of work and you come home, you fix yourself a quick dinner and then WKRP came on. I believe it was 8 o' clock.
And I'll tell you what, that made my day and I could go in the next day and sure enough, people in the office were talking about it. We had about 40 people in the office and I would only be in there just maybe half a day at the most. And I was out in the field all the time.
But it was big hit in Cincinnati. And I'll tell you what it was, it was interesting. And the places they talked about in the Turkey Drop, I think next week what I'm going to do is I'm going to have the better bloopers on and hopefully the computer doesn't mess with me next week because it is now. And I can't, I can't figure out what the heck is going on. There's something going on with the camera, there's something going on with other areas.
I just don't know what's going on this week. And hopefully I can get it straightened out for Money and Change every Sunday at 7pm so if you want to save some money, find out what's going on financially, check us out on Money and Change right here on the TRIM Radio Network. And then every Wednesday it's live with my world. And hopefully next week we can do some WKRP and have some fun with it because I'll tell you what, I had things set up today and it just all of a sudden went wacko.
So with that, guys, that's all I've got for this week. You have a good week. We'll see you Sunday on Money and Change.
See you.
