"Three four Valdez. That's 8 three three four 8 two 5 three three 7 8 three three four Valdez. That's valdes with an S all right so a couple of weeks ago back when the big story of the day was weather balloons that were actually spy balloons and they were all over and Biden was shooting everything out of the sky everything even like small hobby drones and whatnot. Korean Jean Pierre was asked the question by a reporter on MSNBC about why are we shooting things out of the sky? You may remember this clip. Check this out. Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada? Because it's part of a norad, there is the norad is part of a part of what you call a coalition. That's hacked exactly. And so that's why we were able to do that. Again, we didn't do it on our own. We did it in clearly in step with Canadian. In step with Canadian. Now, of course, she's not the only one mispronouncing Canada, right? Jesus canadia. Well, good old Canadian. There's a city named Regina in canadia. And. Yes, and they pronounce it Regina. And that is how it's actually pronounced in Canada. And now they've had to issue an apology and they say they are sorry for their quote unquote sexualized ads. Well, the tourism organization for the city of Regina, Canada has made this apology after critics claim their new ad campaign was just really a perversion for the city. A series of new slogans leaned into the city's double entendre name with taglines such as show us your Regina. And the city that rhymes with fun. I don't even get that one. Some residents said it was immature and belittling to women. Experience Regina apologized on Sunday, saying the rebrand crossed a line and created a negative impact. What did you expect? And the guy says, I want to start off by apologizing on behalf of myself and our team for the negative impact we created with the elements of our recent brand launch that was Tim Reid from experience Regina. Experience vagina, the organization to travel organization, said that it was trying to take ownership of a name that has become a crude joke for some. Amid this growing backlash, the agency released further statement saying that it will now involve more diverse stakeholders in its decision making process in the future. Now, in a bid to calm the storm, the mayor of Regina, Sandra masters, who originally was in support of the rebrand, is going to hold a news conference, and as we have an update on that, we'll get it to you. But local businesses that added the new slogans to merchandise have also apologized and removed the product. Another one said, I want to express how incredibly disappointed in a poll I am with the sexist messaging of the new experience Regina campaign said Cheryl standing chuck. She's award counselor for the city. Then there's another one here. It says, we have extremely high rates of intimate partner violence and sexual assault in our city, as a society, we have a responsibility to teach boys and men about consent. I think that's a bridge too far to say that, you know, they made their version of I love New York and changed the pronunciation of New York to, you know, I get the double entendre, for sure. However, this is, you know, to sit here, if you really do have these high rates of intimate partner violence, which is, I'm guessing that's a domestic violence in the United States. And sexual assault, which is rape and other types of sexual assault, then maybe we need police, right? Maybe we need to get those mounted Royal Canadian police out there and enforce some of the laws. Hopefully that is a law. I know Canada or I should say Canadian has different types of laws that aren't the same as the United States, but some residents have suggested that the city should be known as its nickname, the Queen city after Queen Victoria, instead of as Regina. So that's the new slogan, and it was supposed to echo a song that was uploaded to YouTube back in 2008 that eventually went on to be played in popularized by Jimmy Fallon on NBC's tonight show. So I don't have the audio of the song. I'm pretty sure we can't even play it. But that's the story about Regina, Canada, or as K JP would say, canadia. Anyway, more to come straight ahead, we're going to get to your calls in a moment. Right when we come back and I also want to talk about what's this story about Trump suspending the grand jury, some people are saying there's not going to be any indictment. More to come. This is America at night with rich valdes. No matter where you live, what you make or who you voted for or some things that will impact all of us soon. Whether you're concerned about extreme weather, the alarming increase in man-made disasters, or worsening food shortages, Americans are preparing in numbers not seen since World

Yeah was just i mean. We got attacked on stage. Throwing things that as you know and It was an interesting but again two guys from the street Who believe that. They had an idea that would work. were funny at times. We work act Strong enough to be in places. Like mister kelly's and the playboy certain circuit that time all over america. Play billy clubs. Yeah all of them. We work those boston. La with ninety was very nice. If it gave you a chance to work your act you know back in those like today you know kid can use language more than words. Four letter word is a punchline and but back when we were doing it you have to have an act. I mean you you you had to being able. You couldn't say those things you could curse what was the headlining show was like thirty five. Forty minutes depending on on the on the plate if we were headliners which we were a few times we had to do anywhere from forty to five forty to sixty minutes. Yeah if when you were of course. Most of the time we were opening act and we would do depending if it was a playboy club. Eighteen minutes and they met eighteen minutes. No kid who under under eighteen. You didn't get paid. You went over twenty. They would bring the hook So we do a playboy clubs and we were eighteen minutes. Kelly's almost thirty minutes They were very strict about time. Very strict about language Racially we never had any issues. Because we you know. We were racial just by standing on stage and they want another. I mean you didn't days be a whole lot of integrated conversation but you guys. You addressed it though right well. Yeah we did but we did it in our way we did. It wasn't the it was it was putting each other in situations where race was the was the elephant in the room. You know but we didn't talk about the ellison right and they would they would. We did things like We had a couple of routine that. I went to visit his italian family rice. And the thing. That i was saying the wrong way and and then we did one where we had to go somewhere in a black. He wanted me to teach them how to be black. And with no things like that that the audience could really relate to because many of them were thinking or thinking about. Maybe i'll have a black friend or white friend. How wonder how would be. And then we did things dating game where i've played Three tarik is deeply the the young lady and all other one of those characters so it was those kind of thing that we did and we worked wherever we worked. And and we had a predominant mr. Kelly was always a great artist. But if we were at the club where it was predominantly black The the first few minute the second we're always the same whether it was all black or white with all what is this. Yeah what's going to happen here. Yeah as as soon as you can see that you were going to have fun and the audience could see that okay. They're going to have fun with this. This is different. You would always win them up. I mean i think it's really difficult for me. You know just as a as a white guy my you know to sort of you know really kind of like try to put myself in the place that you came up in in the sense that this is this is not. This is not ancient history. This is recently. It's recently definitely. You know i tell people When i was living in the community in which i mean we couldn't vote They had poll tax. You know this is. This is not long ago. This is like you say then my lifetime. yeah Where i had to get on but within the back because the scientific pull it back here All those things. I went to all black. Tom was actually my first white trend. The first white person i had any social discussion with was tom. I hadn't done before that. And i wasn't quote looking for any just there was not in my peripheral life. So when did you guys come out here. California oh california. We went out there first. Time to work in playboy slot and then we asked Della reese as manager. John my name. Lee maggots key Decided he was gonna manage us and And put us in a few things that So i would say seventy four seventy five as a team. Then we split up in early products seventy six. I'll now what now. What was the decision. There was it acrimonious. No no i don't. I don't think it was for me There's a if you read our book or semi time. Comedy and black and white you'll see a dueling versions of why But as i think back on it many years ago what. I was feeling You know i could. We weren't making any money. And i had left dupont and i mean we. We were not. We were in financially a difficult time. And so. i'm going if this is show business. Maybe i made the wrong choice. Not the poverty was never anything. I will never going to be. I had lived through that the person they wanted in my life like the same could.

We could work and ended up at mister. Kelly's i think in seventy after his time with seventy two early. So what's what's the scene though so you like. What do you do with the pont. You just say you you hold them both jobs. I was working. I stay with the for about a year year and a half and moonlighted as a comic wouldn't have much work at that time. There were no comedy club right. Yeah of course. Yeah so we had to kind of you know. End up working everywhere circuit the the polish circuit talion circuit. So what you will you but the opening for musical acts and what are you doing. What are you going your hustle. You you know. Wherever there's a restaurant would have singer they might may use a comic. We got lucky and We open for count. Basie sarah von all those people when they would come through the community you know they they would need somebody to be sort of an empty comic and they give me a few dollars not a lot and but gave us the opportunity to work and then we work a Clubs at that time the burning spear of black clubs that were interested in going black and white guy. Let's see what they're up to.

Now we open for clinton And fighting trunka deli. We opened for the dells. We i mean we we open for really interesting groups and we will never expected so whenever we walked out there for our korea the first few seconds they forty seconds to a minute there was complete silence no matter whether it was the black audience white audience of mixed audience. They didn't know what to do with it. They were well they were afraid. They were inquisitive. What is going to happen now. Yeah and so you had to get them and you had to get up quickly now if you was festival and we weren't always successful Getting them we had to bill sometime. But if you've got them early on it was a heck of a show yeah. We challenged We didn't write quote race jokes. There was no radio. Basically what we did was be ourselves and take the world through the world that as we saw. We've responded to it and then places like The playboy clubs. And mister kelly's were going through the same kind of thing you know it's hard to think about charlie's and not think about contextual lifestyle. But that time. Yeah you know. mr kelly's were breaking ground and but in chicago. It was just taking a part of the part of the deal once. You're in the club thing right. You didn't go to cicero and you just want to go to these places. And they didn't want to go down but that club it had an atmosphere that is hard to find if at all today in a club. You knew you're gonna see something interesting. You knew the performance whether they were saying is you knew you were seeing many the first time that someone ever really got quote in the beginning of the big time the his you know if you were a performer. You dream the working kelly. I mean like. I said the first time i went in. I want to be in that late. Who is like who was doing the circuit when you were around. Who are you contemporaries. You'd see out in about gosh. Well of course. I wouldn't call them contemporaries but who were working at that time. Because dick gregory yeah slowing mitchell Oh my god.

Sure and then you were doing the road. I mean south. How'd you get. How'd you get to get poisoned in in south dakota. Well you know you.

You do Mr Kelly's you in Vegas and and then you know there weren't that many clubs in L.

"Lucky to have Tim Reid on the phone with us this evening, Tim Welcome to W G. N My pleasure. My pleasure to be back at W. G. M. Uh Tim is known for, amongst other things. Wkrc in Cincinnati, Venus Flytrap, Simon and Simon Frank's place a whole bunch of stuff. But that's not what we're here to talk about. Actually, we're here to talk about a vacuum entering that comes apart of called live at Mister Kelly's and I watched the movie today, Tim, and it's awesome. And Uh, it brings up Mr Kelly's the London House. Uh, the pushy cat. The happy medium. The pushy category go. I mean, talk about being an entertainment center. But you know, those were the days Yeah. And, of course your part you were half of the comedy team with Tom Dreesen. And that's a very well known. Era around the Chicago Community, So let me tell you, Tim. You know, the London house, right? Yes, okay. Do you know what was? That's right next to the was right in the first four of the stone container building. Mhm and up on the fifth floor was a radio station I worked for And I worked nights. And I worked 6 to 10. And one day I was given a note that a new person was going to come in named Daphne Maxwell. Yeah, and I went What? Or does she work? What does she work? She doesn't work anywhere. She's the homecoming queen at Northwestern I I said what And Yeah, Daphne came in. And I believe had her initial broadcast after I was off the air. She was delightful. As you obviously know. Yeah, yeah. Back in the day. Yeah. First black homecoming queen in the history of northwestern, right? Um, yeah. So and you know that sort of as a transition to, uh What a lot of this Film is about and that is inclusion and diversity. Whether it was race, gender. Uh, you name it. Everyone was included at all of these venues and That is really a testament not only to the venue itself, but, um I was thinking about it. It's a testament also to the people who were in the audience at the London house and those types of venues because They were ready for it. And this is all Georgian Oscar marrying solves work that started originally with their father. And Fillets in and how You came to now about Mr Kelly's and actually eventually perform there. Yeah, Not not Only then the merry enthralls work, but their boldness. Yeah, you know, one of something that that I use, and whenever I do documentaries about culture history It's something that that you don't teach much in school. We don't pay much attention to everything is so opinionated and news and everything. It's called context and in order for a good joke to work or story, well written or book You've got to have some sense of context. In the era of the time. The draft whatever it is so all the things that you said for that to be happening in Chicago during the times from the early fifties, up through 1975 is amazing, because it was so much going on in Chicago at that time. Uh, you know, you had all organized crime. You had race issues you had You had so much going on around that area that here's this little oasis. Um, a little small block and a half oasis. Where it was unique in this country where you could have multiracial entertainment. Uh, you would have integrated audiences. You have all of these things watching things that outside of it a few blocks away or mile in either direction. Um, you would not cheat and for them to have that kind of boldness to do that. Is a tremendous, um, accomplishment. Also, it has a major effect on the development of entertainment and stars. Think of all the people who went through that big Gregory Church, Barbra Streisand. You name all of that. This is one of the few places that they could work. They couldn't do it in Vegas. They couldn't do it and a lot of the other places. But this is one of the places Once they left New York the only other place that you could do that in Was Chicago and the venues and in particular, Mr Kelly, so as a young person coming to Chicago, knowing that a place like that, What got my attention? The first time I got here in 69 I got there I should say in 69 was the fact that on New Year's Eve I pick up the newspaper and Richard Pryor is appearing. At this club called Mr Kelly's. I'd never heard of it didn't know anything about it only been in town a few months. And I pulled together some clothes and got there and took my wife. We went down to get into Mr Counties on New Year's Eve without reservations, how we managed to do it is amazing, but we got it saw the club. Got in there saw Richard Pryor the first time I had been in my nightclub in my entire life. And certainly anything of this quality. And I watched Richard Pryor and I said to my wife, I want to do that. And I want to do it on that stage. Uh and lo and behold, five years later, six years later. Oh, actually sooner than that, my apartment dominate were performing on that stage. And then I was the last comic. Do New Year's scenes on that stage before close. That's an amazing dream capture to me. Absolutely. And I think when you watch this documentary, which is going to be at the Gene Siskel Film Center, and that's It's coming up this weekend. We'll give you details in a few minutes. You get the social context of all of this, You know, I went to Mr Kelly's a few times. I had a great time there. I think I saw, uh Bette Midler and Barry Manilow. And who else did I see there? Um, well slips in my mind right now, but at any rate I never thought about it. You know, I never thought about. Well, this is a racially mixed audience. How about that? Lily Tomlin, Lily Tomlin. That's who else I want to see you. Mr. Keller's Emily Tomlin is also in the movie, as are just about everybody. That? Yes, sir. I mean, the thing the movie starts off with Barbara Streisand, and she's just specifically talking about Mr Kelly's, But when you look at all the news that went on at that time The new what happened during the sixties. And what happened in Chicago in 1968 and the assassination of Martin Luther King and all of that, and you put juxtapose that with Mr Kelly's in the London House. It's quite amazing in a lot of different way, a lot of different levels. There's never been anything like it and probably never will be again. It was just a club. Um, it had an aura about it. I mean, I don't know how to explain it. I've traveled the world and I've been in clubs and and Paris, London, Africa and You know, they're great clubs. But Mr Kelly's had a certain aura about it. You know, I don't know how to explain it. It. Uh but you knew when you went in there, you're going to see something. Good to see. You know, it was. It was an atmosphere that even as a performer, I mean, the first time followed. I went in that. Oh, my God..

Yeah awesome In earlier conversation that we had about a week ago. You said something really interesting to me and it. I've never heard it. You said that there's a new high school culture every three years. Where did you learn that. And is this something that you've seen to be true. Yeah well i've learned that from tim reid. Little shot out to one of my professors timorese a legend in arizona. He was a southwestern college. Acu just retired after forty years in ministry and probably ministry glasses right and He would he. Would you know we're seniors in college. So we're thinking we're pretty it with the With young guys he says no. You've been out for years. You don't have any. I don't think it science. If it don't think george barna survey study with thousands of people figured out since then but i've seen it. I've seen words change cultures chain. The technology has changed so much length. There could be someone graduated. And there's this new app go round in high school The the older kids have no idea about and the teachers. You know we're we're we're fifth. I'm a high school for thirty years. That means there's been ten culture giant. There's been more than that It's one hundred percent different. Courtney saw i have seen that to be true.

When you're talking about those mindsets i mean you've got to kind of work. I i wanna say work against them. But i almost feel like no you have to work with them with those mindsets. And how is that. Changed your discipleship program at the church as you've worked through years of apathy and years of entitlement and years of of maybe even big things going like this this year code one thousand nine hundred and big things he's dealing with. How is your discipleship program changed. I see like one our numbers of change right so depending on how. You're doing things so we used to school. Two hundred our school four fifty so obviously we got to change. That's why that's why we actually. We don't want these kids. We didn't want these kids being leaders.

"I mean, he just wasn't sound. Jamaica. Ryan's is the new 40 Niner defensive coordinator. He obviously knows about when he was sounded unsound because he played right behind him is a stack linebacker in the hay. No, the plane of the play calling what the front was supposed to do. So if anybody's got intel on JJ Watt, it's D'Amico. Uh, the injuries were the injuries. You could craft a contract to protect you. Their whole have other suitors, obviously, so I think he wants to get a ring and get out of Houston. What's going on with ownership there and their front office, But Well, ask yourself, you know, I have appreciated JJ's immense ability special, especially You know the sack totals that he had 20.5 when he played five technique. He wasn't even he was he was covered up. He was not the uncovered guy on the line. He played D Cat D tackle a lot here he would be I think you could move inside in the sub package and certainly plays the bass end. But I do have reservations about just how sound he is in his ability. Be good teammate and you know for us to quarterback and play the run the way it's supposed to be played in that. Just freelance, but what we get an idea from Cosell. I haven't started them yet. I do, you know, watching Stafford and watch and play a lot this year. I did. Kind of stumble onto harmonies, freakish ability. I mean that deflection ahead against Matthew Stafford on Thanksgiving Day was just what he could do. He's like an elite shot blocker that can Blocked the shot and then take it up the floor and make the play. I mean, you chip that ball right out out of Stafford Sand and pick 16 and ran back the other way. So, you know, he's definitely a splash player. But is he just a situational pass rusher at this stage of his career? But I don't know what I haven't studied Pittsburgh's salary cap, but they run that 34 and he's got his brother on that team. I could see him. If Pittsburgh was interested. I could see him. Going there. I want to play with his brother. But who knows? You know, I don't know if he wants one more contract. He's 32. I don't know his financial situation. Does he want to just go to the highest bidder? Is he sick of losing? I mean, nobody knows that Unless they talk to me, we all assume everybody wants to win. Does J. J Watt want to get one more big contract? I mean, I don't know. I don't blame him either way, But I don't know what he wants. Didn't wanna play with his brother. I don't know. I don't know how important it is to him. So you're getting at me for speaking for Tim. It's Tim. That just goes underground. He's up in Idaho. Is that where he is? He just sent me a text. You just explained who it was from. So he sent me a text that was sent to him from somebody else. I thought he made a mistake. He's the worst texter. Jimmy Garoppolo is like, you know, he's there. He's the best texture. You're not very good. You're kind of your texture. I'm trying to think of the best texture. Right? Chris Babcock. You get him from Babs. She's Yeah, she's good. So he sends me one doing well, you two are the best tool in the NFL period he's talking about. You know, me and Tim and You're gonna trade for watch it anyway, going out of our quarterback ready? So I thought he made a mistake, but that he I'm not gonna say who sent the text, But it was somebody we vote No on the lead, so So don't blame me for Tim. Tim Flannery goes off the grid, Jim. Why It goes completely off the grid. So It was me that had to come in and be hey was Cyrano. He was telling me what to say. Tim is the best analyst in the NFL. Tim Ryan is the best analyst in the NFL. Tim Ryan is the most prepared person I've ever worked for. My crew calls them all. What do you say? Oh, sorry, Jim. Tim Reid is the most prepared. Do you ever wanna make definite statements like when you say the best or you know those kind of things? You got to be careful because it doesn't offend me. But one of that you're talking about a booth by taking it. We're taking it personally, like maybe a broadcast. No, but maybe somebody who you've worked with in the past, Reggie Jackson will take it personally. Reggie was the least prepared. Right. Reggie walked in with 563 home runs and said, I'm Reginald Martinez Jackson. You know, Reggie would completely see the best thing where we got the AIDS gave notes before every game. Reggie would highlight every single thing on the game note. It was like he spray painted the game like a highlighter. I'm like, Reggie the ideas tol pick a couple of things out here. Reggie's a genius. 160. Thank you. Yeah. So, you know, I'm just kidding, Reggie. Preparing was not kidding. Because it's gonna get back to you know, I gotta say six and cars. Get back to the show on Tommy Lasorda Right after we got off the area texted back to come out, so he did. No. Who would be the second most prepared person I've ever worked with you talking just damaged by far, um Trick. Oh, I would say, very prepared to be. There's a lot of time and link. We're always prepared. I'm just saying Tim is like an honorary member. The coaching steps. What I was Yeah, but I was driving at. Yeah, he goes there You are the most prepared Person I've ever done four hours of radio. That's fair enough because you're the only person that video Here. I was threatened around like a peacock. I love you like a brother. I liked him. Right? And I love Tim. Right, But I love John. Is that enough for you, John? Yeah, That's enough. You said Stop it. You said it on TV, too. I was very impressed. I kept rewinding to get our people. Did you hear what he said? He Joe's me. What did I say? You called me unattractive. But then you thought it was me. I can't remember exactly how you said it. See you basically that I had a face for radio, right? You make fun with the people I love. That's a good point. That's that's true, because if you don't do it Guess who's coming out of 1 15 Ready? Just text you the best looking partner I've ever had a grant Lippman got to get that big from Oh, yeah. We gotta go Pull that We've got to get that big. Cause I can't remember exactly what you said. You ultimately choose chose me. But you're basically in some way, shape or form. He called me ugly, which again does not offend me. But then you didn't. Maybe I said Grant was more striking. Looking for something I did not say. I never used those words. Those are ugly words. I did not. I just said don't score job. Yes, exactly. I have a fragile ego. You understand the plastic surgery. And you had that battering ram? Take it out of your foreign. Yeah, much, boy.

Hey, the winter X games are on right now. The scheduled for tonight's women's ski slopestyle and the men's ski Big air Tonight we're joined By the V P of X games. Tim Reid, Tim thank you so much for joining us here on news station. Thanks for having me. Alright, Tim X games. It's something Really cool. I love watching the X Games. They're always huge and big. How are they different, though this year as we're still spinning in a global pandemic. Yeah, It's been a bit a bit of a different year for us, You know, Typically we have multiple nights of music, hundreds of thousands of Spectators. Lots of experiential things for our fans, but this year obviously would covet. You know, we had to be obviously very careful about how we're going to produce our show. You just had to put it on a process for a lot of protocols for Minimizing risk, But the biggest thing is we don't have Spectators this year, and so that's a big change for us. But again we're still excited because we get the produce. You know, we're on the second day of three days of 70 plus hours of life competition. Him. What is the testing protocol for athletes? The testing, so everyone had to get tested before the king to the king to Colorado came to pick in county and then once they got on site. Obviously, we tested everybody. And then depending on how often or how long they were gonna be here be here. There was a certain cadence and frequency to how often they were then tested while they're here on site. How are the athletes handling those changes right now? Obviously, when you're talking about any winter sport, any extreme sport like what we're seeing right now on our screen. The fans are such a integral part. I mean, I know these guys love hearing at the bottom of the hill fans cheering for him. How are they handling that? And obviously the added concern with Cove it in the testing protocols. I think they're handled it pretty well. I mean, I you know, I think not having fans is you lose a little bit of the juice that you and excitement and energy you get from the venue, but at the same time You know a lot of these. You know, these athletes ride with your buds in our music going so they get in the zone. They're training. They're getting ready for the runs. And, you know, I think they just realized is different. They got out their focus a little bit different, and I don't think it's her obviously heard their performance over the weekend. We've seen a lot of amazing tricks, not amazing runs, and I think they're just locked in excited to be here. The fact that we're actually having a competition while all this is going on Final question on this team before we get into the excitement of actually the athletes that are there and what they're doing, how difficult as an organization was it to put this event on this year during a pandemic for the X Games? You know, you know, like everyone. We're living through a challenging time. But we started on this road. You know, months ago we always felt like there was a path to get here. If you know, we obviously got all the The right people around the tables, the health and safety safety experts and we talked about it built the right plan. We always you know, we always believed there was a path to do it and it's an amazing team. A lot of work. A lot of effort went into it. S so again. It's challenging, but at the same time, it's super rewarding. And, you know, we're all thrilled to be here. All right, Tim. So, obviously when you think about winter sports a couple of big names, at least from what happened A couple of years ago in Pyung Chang, South Korea you're talking about Shaun White. Chloe Kim. Give me some of those athletes that you're excited to watch this year. And what has the competition been like for some of those key athletes? Yes, he just came to make Chloe's actually competing tonight. So we have women's snowboard. Super piping gets going in about an hour s. Oh, that's gonna be really excited to see her back in the aspirin type here after, you know, a year off going to college, and then Sean Light's gonna be tomorrow night, which is gonna be you know, he hasn't been here in a couple of years. And so it's gonna be great to have him back. So there's there too. Marquee events. And then we had a couple of, you know, postpone the postponement postponements today because of the weather, But, you know, tomorrow we're gonna have a stack schedule, you'll get to see other kind of major snowboarders. Red Gerard. Another's compete from the snowboard, slopestyle side so excited it's gonna be a big night tonight and a huge Sunday tomorrow. Tim, if any of our viewers don't know what the X Games are, and you could tell them to watch one sport in one sport only in this year's games. Which event would you tell them to watch? Oh, but that's a tough You only get one, Tim. All right. Well, I'm gonna go with snowboards super piped tomorrow night because you know what? I have Shaun White back, but Scotty jeans is on fire. A couple other guys, They're really pushing the limits. It's gonna be a great event tomorrow night. Tim Reid v P of X games. Thank you so much, but appreciate you taking the time.

We feel like they'll be another spike due to Christmas and New Year's Tuscaloosa Fire chief Randy Smith. You know, with the With coming out of the holidays. We saw some spikes. We know there will be some additional spikes. City Councilman Lee Busby is hoping the Fizer vaccine will help turn things around. Two weeks ago, doctors and nurses started getting their vaccinations, a collective sigh of relief throughout the country and certainly here in Alabama and escalation. They are continuing to hire part time nurses. Help increase their staff, and they're making sure they have enough rooms for patients who need care. The rollout of Corona virus vaccines has been very slow on Lee. Three million doses have been given thus far instead of the plan. 20 million doctor, a mish adult jah is with the Bloomberg School of Public Health. We've got to get some handle on the number of cases in a number of hospitalizations, and to do that, I think we have to get the vaccine accelerated. Because that's really what's going tol US breathing room in the hospitals, but that's going to take some time. So I do think January is going to be one of the more deadly months that we've seen in this pandemic.

A Review of Stephen King's 'It'
"Today. We're discussing it star orrick harry anderson dennis christopher where should missour- annette o'toole. Tim reid john ritter and richard thomas special appearance by tim curry. The as pennywise was lonnie anderson busy like we're. We're all the sitcoms. What isn't a horror movie could get alan thicke directed directed by tommy lee wallace who does more comedy than horror no halloween three now. I guess depending on how you slice comedy. This is the the now playing co host. That's down to clown arnie and stewart and this the host who still insists he sees the ghost jacob. We're here a movie that has been so requested tested even before we started doing stephen king and then once we did. I can't count the number of times i've heard have you guys reviewed it and this is going to be the show with the most fun inflection an ever as we constantly emphasize the proper noun it yeah it is it for me. It certainly was the steven king book that i read that maybe wanna go back and read everything that he had written part of the appeal was i had just turned thirteen sixth grade and i had never taken on a book as is big as that book. My dad was a member of book of the month club but then showed up like a phone book on our doorstep over a thousand pages fourteen hundred pages weighing over four pounds at retail and you know aliens had just come out the month before and a movie and this really kicked off my horror movie phase like these were the things things that made me get so deep into horror in my teenage years i had talked to you about stephen king before this. I remember bus rides talking about it and then i remember one day you showed me your copy of it and there was a character who killed himself and you're like and he wrote this on the wall and there was a drawing join in the book. I'd never seen a book that had a drawing in it where the text goes. It looks like a letter age and i'm like i don't get it was an age. You're like no. It's it's the word it in blood and i'm like oh. That's pretty cool fast forward six months. I moved to florida. I didn't know a damn soul. Twelve hundred page book was exactly up my alley. I read it summer of eighty seven and that's the last time i read it until this year when i reread it for these reviews and i am once again the king newbie or the never have been i have not read it but i do feel like this is the one yes sure there's the shining but when i think of the shining i don't i think of king i think of kubrick the same with carrie i think of those movies but it because until two thousand seventeen eighty didn't get good adaptation. We'll talk about the nineteen ninety-one anyone but i do feel like this is the steven king book. I mean it's the scary clown which sure there's john wayne casey but this is such a trope. I feel like in horror now. I'm i'm sure this is a weird originated but i think he did popularize that whole concept. It's funny. You say that i was going to ask you. What's the first thing that comes to your mind. When when you think of it i wanna just put out there. One of my favorite things about stephen king and his first decade of output was to look at the cover because there were so many of them and i never knew what they were about hadn't seen many of the movies so it was fun to try and decipher from that picture on the cover. What is this one going to be about it. First edition hardback did not have no clown on it. It had the alien hand right clawed hand. It looked like a gremlins movie. It looked like he was was reaching his clawed hand out of sewer grates and that's how i read it.
