You're listening to the News and Grooves podcast.
00:00:08.455 --> 00:00:31.722
I'm Jim Murray.
00:00:31.801 --> 00:00:32.463
Thanks for coming in.
00:00:32.463 --> 00:00:33.145
Let's get started.
00:00:33.145 --> 00:00:37.493
A Pennsylvania couple who divorced nearly 50 years ago is planning to remarry.
00:00:37.493 --> 00:00:46.287
Faye Gable and Robert Wenrich met because he was her older brother's best friend and she says he told them he was going to marry her someday.
00:00:46.287 --> 00:00:54.845
They were wed in November 1951 and had four children together, but divorced in 1975 for reasons they declined to discuss.
00:00:54.845 --> 00:01:00.805
Both eventually remarried and remained with their spouses for many years until the spouses died.
00:01:01.426 --> 00:01:08.108
However, relatives say Gable and Wenrich always had a good relationship and often attended family events together.
00:01:08.108 --> 00:01:11.600
They recently decided it was time to tie the knot again.
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:13.986
They're like two teenagers in love.
00:01:13.986 --> 00:01:15.730
They do everything together.
00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:23.885
Carol Smith, the couple's youngest daughter, said, referring to her father, she said he said she was the first love of my life.
00:01:23.885 --> 00:01:29.225
I never thought I'd get her back and now that I did, I'm not wasting any time.
00:01:29.225 --> 00:01:34.683
Wenrich turned 94 on Friday, while his once and future bride is 89.
00:01:34.683 --> 00:01:48.233
They have 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and twin great-great-grandchildren, and Gable has two stepsons who will be among those attending the wedding Sunday in the borough of Denver in southeastern Pennsylvania.
00:02:21.033 --> 00:02:27.417
I think we'll be good now for the next couple years, wenrich said, presented on the News and Grooves podcast.
00:02:27.417 --> 00:02:39.725
It seems I mean no disrespect, my love when I say that I ain't sure of anything lasting that long, because all history proves things to change over time.
00:02:39.725 --> 00:02:50.377
But, darling, when I put my heart and my soul into something, it's yours.
00:02:50.377 --> 00:02:59.506
I have never known a love Temporarily.
00:02:59.506 --> 00:03:11.455
It always fleshes out, is out, and when I drown, you are the only song I'm singing about.
00:03:14.991 --> 00:03:32.193
I mean no disrespect, my love, when I say that I ain't sure of anything lasting that long, because all history proves things to change over time.
00:03:32.193 --> 00:03:43.125
But, darling, when I put my heart and my soul into something, it's yours.
00:03:43.125 --> 00:03:46.509
You have severed all my tethers.
00:03:46.509 --> 00:04:25.331
It looks like I'm here to stay Always and forever, or so it seems, standing in front of a steeple, always and forever, always and forever, or so it seems, making promises to love you Always and forever, or so it seems, darling, I'll always love you.
00:04:25.331 --> 00:04:41.882
I mean no disrespect, my love when I say that I ain't sure of anything lasting that long, because all history proves things to change over time.
00:04:41.882 --> 00:04:57.848
But, darling, when I put my heart and my soul into something, it's yours.
00:05:18.997 --> 00:05:31.000
Googly eyes have been appearing on sculptures around the central Oregon city of Bend, delighting many residents and sparking a viral sensation covered widely by news outlets and featured on a popular late-night talk show.
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:39.766
On social media, the city shared photos of googly eyes on installations in the middle of roundabouts that make up its so-called roundabout art route.
00:05:39.766 --> 00:05:46.630
One photo shows googly eyes placed on a sculpture of two deer, while another shows them attached to a sphere.
00:05:46.630 --> 00:05:50.550
It's not yet known who has been putting them on the sculptures.
00:05:50.550 --> 00:06:01.673
While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art, the city said in its posts.
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.129
Here's Rick Rocket with our music story of the day.
00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:07.625
Johnny Cash so sure.
00:06:07.625 --> 00:06:08.908
Known as the man in black.
00:06:08.908 --> 00:06:27.329
This so-called legendary American singer-songwriter-guitarist is just celebrated for his totally extraordinary baritone voice and his life-changing storytelling that obviously crossed over every genre you can think of, like country rockabilly and gospel no big deal.
00:06:27.329 --> 00:06:41.228
Right Throughout his five-decade-long career, he casually released countless iconic albums that showed just how much he could connect with his audience, like it was the easiest thing in the world, through raw motions and dishonest lyrics.
00:06:41.228 --> 00:06:49.668
Today, he remains an influential figure in popular music, with a lasting impact on countless musicians across genres.
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.163
Exclusive original music continually featured on the News and Grooves podcast.
00:06:55.163 --> 00:07:03.060
Oh, she was, my queen, my radiant light, ooh yeah.
00:07:04.726 --> 00:07:10.978
But life's funny ways took her out of my sight.
00:07:10.978 --> 00:07:18.860
We danced in the night groove, tied as can be.
00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:21.444
Now I'm singing out loud.
00:07:21.444 --> 00:07:23.954
She ain't here with me.
00:07:23.954 --> 00:07:26.944
Hey, hey, call and respond.
00:07:26.944 --> 00:07:29.791
Can you hear me now?
00:07:29.791 --> 00:07:40.274
Ooh, yeah, I lost my baby, but still I get down the one that got away.
00:07:40.274 --> 00:07:45.105
But I'm staying strong, let's keep it moving.
00:07:45.105 --> 00:07:48.254
Gotta funk all night long.
00:07:52.935 --> 00:08:15.298
Memories of her, they still light up my mind Every laugh, every smile, the moments we find she slipped through my fingers Like sand in the breeze.
00:08:15.298 --> 00:08:21.713
Yet I keep on grooving, keeping with ease.
00:08:21.713 --> 00:08:26.351
Hey, call and respond.
00:08:26.351 --> 00:08:28.254
Can you hear me now?
00:08:28.254 --> 00:08:39.190
Ooh, yeah, I lost my baby, but still I get down the one that got away.
00:08:39.190 --> 00:08:44.059
But I'm staying strong, let's keep it moving.
00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:50.769
Got a funk all night long.
00:08:50.769 --> 00:08:55.833
Now, listen up y'all, cause the story ain't done.
00:08:55.833 --> 00:08:59.937
A celebration of life, love and the sun.
00:08:59.937 --> 00:09:09.793
Though she's far away, my spirit stays bright.
00:09:09.793 --> 00:09:15.758
I'll keep on dancing all through the night.
00:09:15.758 --> 00:09:20.238
Call and respond, can you hear me now?
00:09:20.238 --> 00:09:31.111
Ooh, yeah, I lost my baby, but still I get down the one that got away.
00:09:31.111 --> 00:09:35.826
But I'm staying strong, let's keep it moving.
00:09:35.826 --> 00:10:07.235
Gotta funk all night long, oh, not long.
00:10:27.663 --> 00:10:34.991
A new Netflix docuseries claims to go behind the scenes of the Jerry Springer Show to expose its biggest scandals, both on and off camera.
00:10:34.991 --> 00:10:43.738
However, a former producer on the lowbrow daytime talk show slams the series as a whitewash and says the actual details are even more shocking.
00:10:43.738 --> 00:10:56.474
Norm Lubo, who was a controversial and outspoken cannabis advocate in the 90s, told the Irish Sun that he appeared on the Jerry Springer show a half-dozen times before he was hired as a freelance guest booker in 1996.
00:10:56.474 --> 00:11:07.918
It didn't take long before he was promoted to full-time producer and Lubo claims it's because he essentially served as a pimp for host Jerry Springer, who died at the age of 79 in 2023.
00:11:07.918 --> 00:11:22.852
In the Netflix doc Jerry Springer Fights Camera Action, one incident is detailed that allegedly took place in 1998, in which Springer was caught on camera having a threesome with a guest of the show, a porn star named Kendra Jade and her stepmother.
00:11:22.852 --> 00:11:31.167
Lubo says that's just the tip of the iceberg and that he regularly would recruit attractive female guests of the show to do what he calls double duty.
00:11:31.167 --> 00:11:36.097
When we were first hired, jerry came out to meet us in LA and picked us up in a limo.
00:11:36.097 --> 00:11:39.972
The first thing Jerry said to us was I want to get laid.
00:11:39.972 --> 00:11:40.956
Where are the hookers?
00:11:40.956 --> 00:11:52.155
Lubo recalled we were like whoa, but basically we realized right away it wasn't just about getting guests for the show, it was about getting him laid, which of course we did.
00:11:52.155 --> 00:11:57.376
That just became part of our job and that's why we were so successful and we moved up the ladder.
00:11:57.376 --> 00:12:04.273
He explained we found him women who were happy to do double duty, come on the show and look after Jerry after filming.
00:12:05.274 --> 00:12:13.791
Lubo said that luckily he knew a lot of good-looking women strippers from his days in the Los Angeles music scene, which meant that he ultimately was successful at his job.
00:12:13.791 --> 00:12:18.726
When I became a full-time producer, I'd bring on a good-looking guest and Jerry would go.
00:12:18.726 --> 00:12:21.109
I want to meet that guest, he continued.
00:12:21.109 --> 00:12:28.474
I'd go up them and say uh, you know I'm a new producer here and it would do me a huge favor if you would go out with Jerry tonight.
00:12:28.474 --> 00:12:31.159
He thinks you're great and they would.
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.529
So I was like the pimp.
00:12:32.529 --> 00:12:34.855
It didn't take much persuading.
00:12:34.855 --> 00:12:36.779
The girls were happy to go off with him.
00:12:37.761 --> 00:12:46.519
Lubo chalks up Springer's weakness with attractive women to him being an unpopular geek in high school and that he was like a kid in a candy store due to his fame.
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:54.836
It was just an accepted part of my job being his pimp, and on the Netflix show they make out that he had this one sex scandal.
00:12:54.836 --> 00:12:57.582
No way, that was just the only time he got caught, he added.
00:12:57.582 --> 00:13:05.134
Lubo was hired along with his friend Al Bowman, then a celebrity limo driver in Hollywood, who corroborated his claims to the Sun.
00:13:05.134 --> 00:13:14.991
Yes, we did that, and many other things as well, bowman said.
00:13:14.991 --> 00:13:15.472
I co-produced nine shows.
00:13:15.472 --> 00:13:16.274
We forever changed how television works.
00:13:16.274 --> 00:13:19.342
We opened the floodgates for reality TV to thrive and grow.
00:13:19.342 --> 00:13:32.610
Before finding success on daytime television, springer had a political career in Ohio, famously resigning from his seat on the Cincinnati City Council in 1974 after he was caught soliciting a prostitute using a personal check.
00:13:32.610 --> 00:13:57.042
However, the scandal didn't stick and he was subsequently elected back to the city council the following year, eventually serving as mayor of Cincinnati from 1977 to 1978.
00:13:57.062 --> 00:14:01.024
1977-1978.
00:14:01.024 --> 00:14:06.888
The platform's alive with the whisper of fate.
00:14:06.888 --> 00:14:12.743
The rails hung on the dirge, the night's given in.
00:14:12.743 --> 00:14:19.363
Hold on to the edge of where it begins.
00:14:19.363 --> 00:14:22.416
The last train is leaving.
00:14:22.416 --> 00:14:25.143
It's the end of the line.
00:14:25.143 --> 00:14:28.580
The stars in the sky scream.
00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:31.139
We're out of time.
00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:33.938
Run through the shadows.
00:14:33.938 --> 00:14:36.461
Don't look behind.
00:14:36.461 --> 00:14:39.708
The last train is leaving.
00:14:39.708 --> 00:14:42.831
Hold tight to the climb.
00:14:42.831 --> 00:15:00.302
The whistle it wails like a ghost in the dark.
00:15:00.302 --> 00:15:06.184
A flicker of hope, just a fleeting spark.
00:15:06.184 --> 00:15:12.107
Your heart beats a drum pounding steady and wild.
00:15:12.107 --> 00:15:15.517
The horizon's an ocean.
00:15:15.517 --> 00:15:17.942
The night is exiled.
00:15:17.942 --> 00:15:21.660
Oh, the last train is leaving.
00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:24.269
It's the end of the line.
00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:27.918
The stars in the sky scream.
00:15:27.918 --> 00:15:29.802
We're out of time.
00:15:29.802 --> 00:15:33.700
Run through the shadows.
00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:35.778
Don't look behind.
00:15:35.778 --> 00:15:38.998
The last train is leaving.
00:15:40.110 --> 00:15:42.018
Hold tight to the climb.
00:15:42.018 --> 00:15:54.664
Oh yeah, the engine.
00:15:54.664 --> 00:15:58.519
It roars Like a beast in the storm.
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.908
Every step to the steel Breaks away what's worn.
00:16:03.908 --> 00:16:10.481
The city fades fast, collapsing in flames.
00:16:10.481 --> 00:16:14.196
You race the dead air to outrun your pain.
00:16:14.196 --> 00:16:22.788
The last train is leaving and it's the end of the line.
00:16:22.788 --> 00:16:27.080
The stars in the sky scream.
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.407
We're out of time.
00:16:29.407 --> 00:16:30.068
Out of time.
00:16:30.068 --> 00:16:32.327
Run through the shadows.
00:16:32.327 --> 00:16:35.600
Don't look behind.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.464
The last train is leaving.
00:16:38.464 --> 00:16:41.258
Hold tight to the climb.
00:16:41.258 --> 00:16:55.683
Hold tight to the climb.
00:16:55.764 --> 00:16:58.366
All original songs on news and grooves.
00:17:14.529 --> 00:17:41.182
I take a walk down your street in the middle of sleep, where no one but me knows the time, when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading and the broken glass paints a mural on the road.
00:17:41.362 --> 00:17:51.392
Morning will soon be a glow, so I slip into your light and close both of mine Sleep.
00:17:51.392 --> 00:18:11.981
Walk your street in the middle of sleep, where no one but me hears the song when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading, and your windows and doors and the shadows dream on.
00:18:11.981 --> 00:18:44.159
Oh, the flies in each alley carve words into stone Of a past life of heaven, words you thought you had known and I wish I could show you how I sing to you now, but you might recognize this tune.
00:18:44.159 --> 00:19:15.598
Sleepwalk your street in the middle of sleep, where no one but me hears the song when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading, and your windows and doors and the shadows dream on.
00:19:15.598 --> 00:19:46.173
Sleepwalk your street in the middle of sleep when no one but me hears the song when the roses are swaying and the trumpet vines fading and your windows and doors and the shadows stream on.
00:20:08.824 --> 00:20:21.818
Tyler Wade Gibson, 35, and his wife Bailey Alexis Gibson, 32, were charged with child abuse on November 27 in Columbia, Missouri, After Tyler tried to perform a circumcision at home on their infant son.
00:20:21.818 --> 00:20:23.383
Law and crime reported.
00:20:23.383 --> 00:20:28.481
The parents took the child to Lake Regional Hospital after being alarmed by the amount of blood.
00:20:28.481 --> 00:20:33.541
Bailey told police she was very hesitant about her husband doing the procedure, but helped him do it.
00:20:33.541 --> 00:20:38.520
Social services went to the home on November 29th and removed five children.
00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:41.394
The Gibsons are scheduled to be back in court.
00:20:42.737 --> 00:20:44.019
I'm feeling lucky.
00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:46.286
And I went to find her.
00:20:46.286 --> 00:20:51.047
She was sitting in bars, she was sitting in diners.
00:20:51.797 --> 00:20:56.480
And I am just snapping my tongue and I said Do you see me?
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.846
She said Are you dumb or do you just believe anything?
00:21:00.846 --> 00:21:05.287
She said love is a four letter word.
00:21:05.287 --> 00:21:11.019
You don't get the letters just letting you know who's to say.
00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:22.270
Yeah, yeah, who's to say yeah, yeah, yeah, who's to say?
00:21:22.932 --> 00:21:23.172
Yeah.
00:21:45.260 --> 00:21:51.683
Yeah, oh baby, it would suit me, you and me, it would suit both of us, sort of.
00:21:51.683 --> 00:21:55.185
But love is a four-letter word.
00:21:55.185 --> 00:21:57.666
You don't get the letters.
00:21:57.707 --> 00:22:12.932
Just letting you learn who's to say I was sitting on my own in a caravan, the engine running.
00:22:12.932 --> 00:22:17.044
There you were, cities like a jungle and we're living in our own world.
00:22:17.044 --> 00:22:17.946
It's just absurd.
00:22:17.946 --> 00:22:22.457
Then you uncross your leg and touch my leg.
00:22:22.457 --> 00:23:02.555
Yeah, I was sitting on my own in a caravan, the engine running.
00:23:02.555 --> 00:23:06.938
There you were Cities like a jungle and we're living in our own worlds.
00:23:06.938 --> 00:23:07.858
It's absurd.
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:16.367
Looks like we're about out of time for this show.
00:23:16.367 --> 00:23:17.269
