115th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
Netflix is increasing to $17.99 a month? Nope.
Say it with me: Super Bowl Saturday Night!
Kelly sent me a text from our bedroom upstairs to my office downstairs. Yep.
If you are headed to Goodyear, make sure you eat at The Black Bear Diner. Former Reds GM Dick Williams recommended it when I was there a few years ago with Casey. Sit at the counter. Try the Stuffed Blackberry French Toast or Bigfoot Breakfast.
Song I cranked up the car radio to this week: Aerosmith's 'Dream On'
28 years ago this week I came back to town to audition as host at 1160 'The Score'. The station put me up for a week at The Drawbridge Inn in NKY.
With a fan base and city behind him, Joe Burrow just keeps squeezing the Bengals like a boa constrictor.
In high school, I wore a retainer with two prosthetic teeth. The tooth on each side of my front teeth never came in....for some reason.
Raise your hand if you remember: Tee 'Em Up Tuesday, I Believe Wednesday and or Grand Slam Baseball. Those are segments from the early days of my show.
Remember Wack-O-Wax Wax Lips? Did we actually eat those?
I'm not a Super Bowl party guy. I want to watch the game and eat. Not carry-on conversations with people.
We've got a Better Blend in Independence. That place rocks. Try the Blueberry Cake.
I was terrible at coming up with Science Fair project ideas. I think one year I compared the growth of plants in full light, partial light and in total darkness. Groundbreaking.
Found out today that Kelsey Chevrolet is back again as presenting sponsor of my Extra Innings for the 2025 Reds season. My guys! I'm truly honored.
I could not ask for a better group to be associated with. Their loyalty, support and most importantly friendship, is so appreciated. Can't wait!
We get a TV channel called Boomerang. It's a cartoon channel. I watched Jonny Quest the other night! Hadji! Bandit!
Bob Trumpy will always be considered the retired Bengals player that applied the most public pressure to what the Bengals needed to do. No active player has ever applied the level of public pressure to what the Bengals need to do, like Joe Burrow is doing. Certainly nobody with a bigger stick to swing. I find it all fascinating.
Great players that don't get mentioned in conversations enough: Moses Malone and George Brett.
I saw Jiffy Pop popcorn on Amazon this week. No way.
When Random Thoughts come to me while driving, I have Kelly text them to me so I don't forget.
I find Super Bowl talk this week to be incredibly boring. I'll watch. KC is due to lose a close game. I'll take Eagles 20-17.
Don't worry about things you don't care about.
