Toy sculptor Patrick Healey and artist/illustrator Chris Felix join the boys to talk about how two kids from Elder High School in Cincinnati ended up working for Kenner on one of the biggest toylines ever, their favorite Starting Lineup figures they've ever designed, the best (and worst) likenesses, the importance to get everything just right and who may or may not have been partially responsible for those super jacked Star Wars figures from the mid-90s.
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, FOX News Bill Hemmer has stayed true to his roots, cheering for his hometown teams, the Elder Panthers, Reds, and Bengals, no matter where he's gone in the world. Hemmer, who was in Kansas City last Sunday for the Bengals AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, got In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss the outcome, quality of officiating, his work in journalism that goes back to when he was working sports at WLWT-TV and WCPO-TV with John Popovich and Dennis Janson. Football is a passion for the FOX News co-anchor, who teams with Dana Perino on America's Newsroom on weekday mornings and has since his days at Our Lady of Victory and Elder High School, where he followed older brother Andy Hemmer (played at Boston College) earning honorable mention all-city as a defensive back his senior year. Not only do Hemmer and Lap talk about the success of the Bengals and quarterback Joe Burrow, but they also dig into Hemmer's work as a reporter for both CNN and FOX News and stories and interviews that have stayed with him over the years. Who would be his dream interview? Hemmer also turns the table of Lapham looking to start early talks about the Bengals' draft needs in the next NFL Draft to be held this spring.
#Bengals #Bills #nflplayoffs Cincinnati native and Buffalo Bills color commentator Eric Wood gets back In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss Sunday's AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Bengals and Bills. We'll discuss the past meeting between the two teams that ended early due to the severe injury to Damar Hamlin and talk about each team's journey to reach this game with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line. Eric attended Elder High School before an excellent college career at the University of Louisville that saw him drafted by the Bills in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He would play nine seasons for the Bills before ending his football career because of a neck injury.
For Eric Wood, growing up on the West side of Cincinnati had him watching the Bengals and listening to Dave Lapham. So after his successful high school career at Elder High School, Wood headed to the University of Louisville, where he became one of the top centers in the nation. While there was hope he would become a member of the Bengals, Wood received the call from the Buffalo Bills and started a nine-year NFL career he was forced to abandon because of a career-ending injury discovered during his post-season physical. After being away from the game for a year, Wood became the Bills' radio color analyst in 2019. Leading up to Monday Night Football's big match-up between the Bills and Bengals, Wood lined up In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, talking about growing up in Cincinnati, talks with the Bengals pre-draft, his career in Buffalo, and the big match-up between Josh Allen and Joe Burrow that will take center stage Monday night.

My guest on this episode of Nobody’s Safe w/Brady Laber is Adam Baum. Adam is the daily beat reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer’s (https://twitter.com/Enquirer) coverage of the Xavier University (https://twitter.com/XavierMBB) men’s basketball program. Adam grew on the Westside of Cincinnati and is very proud of his heritage and we talked extensively about what it is like to be a Westsider. He also acknowledges that there are many quirks as far as how serious people take their grade school sports but does not apologize for it as he explains that dynamic. He graduated from Elder High School (https://twitter.com/ehsports) and played both football and baseball for the Panthers. Adam talks about what a thrill it was to play in one of the country’s most famous high school football stadiums known as “The Pit.” Adam played on a state championship team for head coach Doug Ramsey. He also talks a statistical anomaly that he achieved that makes him stand out in the hollowed history of Elder football. He also played on the baseball team at Elder for head coach Mark Thompson. He jokes about “back-dooring” his way to state championship ring working as the bullpen catcher for the team. Adam tells a story about a lazy decision in filling out his class schedule for senior year at Elder ultimately lead to his journalism career. As a freshman at the University of Cincinnati in the journalism department he landed a job with the Cincinnati Enquirer answering the score phone. That entry level position led to his role expanding to cover high school sports. A couple of his more memorable stories include one about his dad who tragically pasted away just three weeks after being hired full-time onto the high school sports beat. Another was about Griffin James, a pitcher from CHCA whose father was battling cancer and Griffin promising to pitch a perfect game in his honor. In 2018, Adam is promoted to take over the full-time beat covering the Xavier University men’s basketball team. Adam earns this position in part by doing a great job covering the Cincinnati Reds spring training that year as a fill-in after a number of staff defections at the Enquirer. Of course, you can’t talk about Xavier basketball without getting into the Crosstown Shootout rivalry between the Musketeers and the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Other aspects of the beat we talk about are chasing down rumors to confirm or deny the factuality of stories that are out there. Also, the recruiting circuit has developed into its own sub culture that can be difficult to navigate. We wrap things up talking about the newspaper business in modern times and how drastically in has changed just in the 14 years that Adam has worked for the Enquirer.

My guest on this episode of Nobody’s Safe w/Brady Laber is Jeff Hetzer the Associate Athletic Director and former head baseball coach at Thomas More University. “Hetz” got his start growing up on The Westside attending Our Lady of Victory parish and graduating from Elder High School. He played on the Panthers baseball team for head coach Mark Thompson. Thompson had just begun his head coaching career at Elder while Hetzer played for him in the early 1990’s. Thompson was former great player and assistant coach at crosstown rival Western Hills High School. After high school, Hetz played his first two years of college baseball at Wittenberg University. He was an all-conference second baseman for the Tigers but decided to transfer when you realized who much it costs his parents for him to attend the private Division-III college. Hetzer transfers closer to home and attends Division-II Northern Kentucky University playing for the late great Bill Aker. Like everyone, Hetz has great stories about his former head coach that are very entertaining. Even though Aker was tough to play for at times, Hetzer gives him credit for being man’s man and treating everyone as an equal which made the players play hard for him. After his player career was offer, Hetzer stayed on the staff first as a graduate assistant and then as a full-time assistant coach. After four seasons on Aker’s staff, Hetzer was presented the opportunity of a lifetime to become the head coach at Thomas More at the age of 26 years old. Hetz explains how Aker set him up for the job opportunity for him to move over to Thomas More upon his own retirement after the 2000 season. Hetzer was not only the head baseball coach at Thomas More but he was also the assistant men’s basketball coach. In early 2004, athletic director and head men’s basketball coach Terry Connor has a precarious situation on his hands when the women’s basketball team is in need of a head coach mid-way through the season. He turns to Hetz who is also beginning his baseball season at the same time. Hetzer talks about his storied career as the head baseball coach at Thomas More where he won a school record 484 games while making seven NCAA tournament appearances and winning five Presidents Athletic Conference titles. After the 2019 season, Hetzer was promoted to Associate Athletic Director in charge of facilities and retires as the head baseball coach after 19 seasons. Hetzer was grateful for his time as the baseball coach, embraces the new challenge as an administrator while handing the reigns of the baseball program to his longtime assistant coach Jeremy Martin.

Brady welcomes John to the podcast and John talks about his growing up in the “Westside” which sparks a lengthy conversation about the demographics and makeup of this large neighborhood on the western side of Cincinnati, Ohio. This discussion moves toward John’s high school alma mater Elder High School (https://www.ehsports.com). Elder is one of the most tradition filled programs in America let alone Cincinnati and John talks about the fierce loyalty shown by people who still life vicariously through the Purple and White. This spins off into a brief description and comparison to Elder and John’s current employer Highlands High School (https://www.highlandsathletics.com/football) in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. John begins to talk about his early influences and wanting to be a broadcaster as an eight-year old baseball fan. He was first introduced to baseball following a family member Art Mahaffey (https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mahafar01.shtml) who was a pitcher for the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies. John listened to the Cincinnati Reds radio broadcasts with Waite Hoyt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waite_Hoyt) and Claude Sullivan on the call. He was mesmerized by the all stories that Hoyt would tell about playing for the New York Yankees and being teammates with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. After his graduating from Elder in 1974, John went on an interesting odyssey through college as he wanted to study broadcasting but instead pleased his family by going a safer route. John talks about landing a part-time job as a teenager with the Cincinnati Reds on the grounds crew at Riverfront Stadium. John worked there from 1972-79 where he witness the height of the Big Red Machine. With a degree in marketing from Northern Kentucky University (https://nkunorse.com), John starts working as the assistant manager at Hader Hardware. After a brief period of time John decides to branch out on his own. He buys a competing hardware store that is struggling and goes into business for himself. After five years of owning and operating the hardware store, his brother Todd Asalon gets him into the catering business. Todd and his business partner are doing a great business but need help actually running the business and bring John into the mix. The conversation somehow veers into a sidebar about Todd playing baseball at Northern Kentucky University for legendary head coach and founder of the program Bill Aker. Todd would eventually becomes Aker’s hand picked successor as head coach upon his retirement after the 2000 season. There are a ton of Bill Aker stories and because of purposes of time John only talks about just a few of them. Because John’s story a long winding and interesting road he just now gets to the point of when he makes his debut as a play-by-play broadcaster. Todd is the baseball coach and athletic director at Thomas More (https://www.thomasmoresaints.com/landing/index) and in the mid-90’s he needs a fill-in for a Saints football game. At this point John was in his late-30’s and is making his debut with less than 24 hours notice. John finds out upon arrival that he will be working solo and after a rough start finds his rhythm as the Saints defeat Hope College. The circumstances are not uneventful but like and old pro John perseveres and his broadcasting career is finally underway. Thomas More games are broadcasts on a local level, many times with volunteers, on public access and local origination programming channels. The name of that channel is currently called TBNK (https://www.tbnk.org/site/index.php), the Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky formerly known as Cable One. For many years John begins to branch out by calling basketball games for Thomas More as well as high school football and basketball on TBNK. John’s brother Todd makes arrangements for John to begin his tenure for the Northern Kentucky University baseball games in 2006. Since was the early days of internet streaming plus the Norse were not playing on campus at the time. Also around this same time, John teams up with Denny Wright on TBNK called Florence Freedom games.

Jerry Beerman grew up on the West side of Cincinnati and went to Elder High School. Jerry's family instilled the idea of working hard to him from birth. School was not one of his favorite activities, however. Jerry got the work done and graduated but he found a true passion in tennis. Not only did he enjoy playing tennis, but it became one of his early entrepreneurial ventures as he started teaching tennis lessons through school and after he graduated. Jerry has always been the type of person to seek out new opportunities. One day he was sitting in a drive-thru line at Burger King when he noticed that every car seemed to drop oil at certain places in the line. That would leave quite a stain in the pavement over time. So, he did what any person looking for opportunity would do: he asked for the manager and worked out a deal to clean it. Though he has started and been a part of many businesses and even a church, he found his latest passion at Alluring Glass, a company that makes custom fit shower glass and mirrors. Jerry will tell you the only tool he knows how to use is duct tape but in reality the greatest tool he has is his desire to mentor employees and other business owners. He realized that every business owner goes through the same struggles as him so why not build a community that can help each other out? His dream is to see a ripple effect of positive change in the business community where people are finding their tribes and getting involved in their communities.
