COP SHOW!!! 102ND CLASS OF THE POLICE ACADEMY
Thanks to Chief Tom Streicher for introducing us to three outstanding representatives from the 102nd class of the Cincinnati Police Academy. Hand selected from over 2000 applicants, from left to right after the Chief: Louis Arnold (56 years young, former minister and a son who has 10 years senority over him), Becky Napier (fresh from college where she was a star athlete) and Ron Geisler (20 year Marine vet who knows 47 ways to kill someone with a pencil -- and yes, that is a smile on his face) illustrate the amazing intellect and diversity of background the Cincinnati Police seek. Congratulations on making the grade – welcome to the country’s finest police department!!!
Pics from Bard's Burgers.
Photo Gallery . I tell you what, for a really good burger that is thick and doesn't fall apart on you while you eat it, try Bard's. It's a little hard to find, but worth it. Best of all, you can eat for under $10...easy...

I usually don't use Brian's blog, but let's tear down the 4th wall and go behind the scenes into what I (Joe) have to deal with.
Interesting story. There is a gentleman who wrote a book about Obama's economic plan. This issue has been discussed at length on the morning show. Well, this college professor wrote a book debunking all the conservative pundits and saying that Obama's plan is perfect for America. That is the kind of book / author I like to book, because it delves into the socialist mind. This enables the listener to hear both sides of the story and come to their own conclusions.
Well, when I contacted this author's people (they will remain nameless), to get him on the program, they seemed very excited and enthusiastic. I gave them a couple days and times and moved forward. A couple hours later, I rec'd an email saying that they are 'unable to fulfill the request and declined the interview opportunity'. Odd, guy selling a book. Wants to get free promotion. Why turn it down? Well, I fished for an answer. I assumed it was because the show was early and offered a pre-taped alternative. No email reply...actually they didn't even read the message (did you know you can put tracing on the email and you can tell if someone reads the email or just deletes it?).
So I called. The inital response was that since we were affiliated with WLW, they know their reputation, and didn't want to be on. I stated that we are in the same family, but an entirely different radio station and show than WLW. After a back and forth discussion, they revealed that Brian's show didn't 'fit their agenda'. You are right, you didn't want your theory shot full of holes. Next time someone accuses myself or Brian of not being 'balanced', or not having any Obama supporters on..remember the above exchange.
