(00:24):
six. Good Tuesday morning. You'relistening to the bloom Daddy Experience with Salmon
Otis on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Four day week Otis. I can
live with that too. After athree day weekend, Boy did I get
caught up on some rest, didyou? Wasn't it great yesterday morning?

(00:45):
Nothing but sleep for three days.I slept, I barbecued, and I
floated in the pool. That waskind of my major accomplishments for the weekend.
Well what is today too? SoSunday I had to drive the more
in town for a graduation party.So my oldest son and his fiance and
myself loaded up and went down andwe go to a graduation party. And

(01:08):
you know it's a little high end, Okay, okay, so it's catered.
Oh so there's like beef tenderloin andlike I mean, this is it's
it's all out. It's not yourfried chicken and cheese plate. Well,
actually I was just hoping for agrilled hot dog and I didn't get one.
That was so bad. I knowthat sounds so weird, but I

(01:32):
was just in the mood for agrilled hot dog. He was. I
ended up getting one yesterday. Butyou know, it is what it is.
Tenderloin was not I mean it wasgood, don't get me wrong.
It was all good. It justit was a little high end. You
don't want other thing I did thisweek I would have been like the poverty
person there. I don't want yourbeef tender loin. I want a hot

(01:53):
dog. Yeah. One other thingI did this weekend is I made it
a point and to anybody who Idid not answer the phone, I apologize.
I disconnected. I put my phoneon silent and I kept it in
the bedroom so when I went outsideand I was doing stuff, I was

(02:15):
not tethered to the phone, whetherit was a text, a phone call
and email, any of that kindof stuff. Like I said, I
made it a point to take abreather and disconnect. And sometimes you have
to do that. You have to. I mean, when we do this
every morning and we're only a couplemonths into it, you and I together.

(02:37):
You know, sometimes you do needa you need a break because I
have I don't know about you otis, but I have a lot of alerts
set up on my phone for breakingnews, whether it's from Fox News or
other you know, media outlets thatI follow, so that I kind of,
you know, stay on top ofthings and know what's going on.
Sometimes you have to take a breakfrom all of that, especially in a

(02:59):
year like we have right now.That's called every day for me. Oh
okay, I don't. I mean, like, the only alerts that I
have are like text messages, andI don't mean I think, I think
there's something that on eBay. Itpops up every day, but it just
but I just ah, that isis a delete. I really just need
to change that setting so that itdoesn't alert me. Well, it was

(03:22):
Memorial weekend. I hope everybody hada great time, got to celebrate and
remember why we did this. Therewere two though, that stood out nationally
that seemed to mistake Memorial Day forVeterans for Veterans Day, and that is
two members of the Squad. Andit started off with elin au Omar,

(03:44):
who in a tweet yesterday said wehonor, we honor the heroic men and
women who served our country. Weowe them more than our gratitude. They
have more than earned access to qualitymental health services, job opportunities, housing
assistance, and the benefits they werepromised. See a problem in that she's

(04:08):
just a little off. She's onlyoff by like five months. She just
doesn't know the difference between the holidayssix months. I mean, just absolutely
ridiculous. Now, of course itwas immediately pulled down once that was once
that was out there on well Xnot Twitter anymore X. But I think
it goes to show that, youknow, we have people in offices that

(04:33):
don't even understand or respect some ofthe holidays that we have, especially those
that gave their lives to support andprotect this country. Well, and she's
somewhat anti American anyway, right,exactly exactly, just disgusting, Just a
horrible note I wanted to bring upbecause I thought it was an absolute embarrassment

(04:55):
that that went out on Memorial Dayand here's a leader in our country who
can't even get that right. Here'sa highlight of what today is, though
it is National Hamburger Day. Ihad one of those yesterday too, I
went oh out, I had agrilled hot dog and a grilled hamburger.
Hey, hey, there's nothing moreAmerican than that on Memorial Day, having

(05:18):
a hot dog and a hamburger.Got friends some potato salad. They're gonna
figure, now we've had hot dogsor hot dogs and hamburgers for three days
and now it's National Hamburger Day.Their day off, their day. Well,
there's a lot of different restaurants thatare stepping up and celebrating. So
it actually coincides with the seventieth birthdayof Burger King Burger King seventy. Yeah,

(05:42):
doesn't seem like it, does it, I guess so. I mean
when you really think about it,it okay, I can buy that.
Well, they're going to be offeringfree items through their app all week long,
celebrating their birthday but also celebrating NationalHamburger Day. Wendy's is selling junior
bacon cheeseburgers for one cent with anypurchase today through Sunday. So go get

(06:04):
some. Go get a frosty andget a junior bacon cheeseburger for a penny,
and then b dobs or Buffalo wildWings you can get you can buy
one, get one free burgers todaythrough their Blazon Rewards loyalty program, so
their lunch is tied up for youcelebrate National Hamburger Dad, it's seventy years

(06:25):
old. Do you have any BurgerKing memories? I have a funny story.
So my parents when they decided,they had the conversation. Then they
decided they were going to have theirfirst child, which was me. When
they got pregnant, they didn't knowyou. Of course, didn't know if

(06:46):
I was a boy or girl.So the entire no, I'm very clear
on what I am, you are, they decided to call me the Whopper.
Oh, because they decided to haveme at a Burger King. So
I was nicknamed the Whopper and Icould probably still qualifies that I am not

(07:11):
commented at all on that. Iam not saying one word. So I
have a special connection with Burger Youdefinitely do. I just remember Burger King.
As a kid, we would goto my mom's college roommate. They
lived in has right outside of Hagerstown, Maryland, and we would go over
there four or five times a year, normally like for a long weekend,
like we would have maybe gone onMemorial Day, weekend or or Easter weekend

(07:34):
or something like that. And soI just remember as a kid, it's
about a four four hours with thehighway put in. Now it's about a
three and a half hour drive.But I just remember that we would stop
in Washington, PA of all places, like you're only twenty minutes from home,
and we would stop at the BurgerKing in Washington, and I just

(07:54):
thought that was the greatest thing inthe world. Well because for the longest,
I mean, think about it,when we got our first one,
we got Walmart for the first time, the first one, when we got
you know, different chain restaurants,it was like a party. Well you
figured the when I was a kid, the only McDonald's around here was the
one in Warwood. It's no longereven there. Not the one here in

(08:16):
downtown. No, that wasn't thatwas this was like way before. The
only McDonald's in the Wheeling area wasin Morewood and up above just the right
north of Cherry Hill Road. Okay, I know where you're talking. So
and then you know, then theone in I think the one in downtown
came in next, and then theElm Grove and then they started popping up

(08:39):
here and there. The downtown McDonald'swas cool. It was two levels and
yeah, yeah, but you know, uh, you know, there was
no burger King around here, andthey're really I mean, you know,
there's still not a lot of them. You know, you have one in
Mountinsville. I think one in Belairif you go north Whealing Island. Oh,
I forget about the one on SaintClairsville. I didn't know there was

(09:00):
one in Saint c Yeah, overin the plaza. Okay, yeah,
what why are we talking about this? It's National Hammer Surday. Hey,
you know what lunch is on Wendy'sor burger King because they all have special
deals going on. It's seven fifteen. We get back a new poll out
that is revealing. Want to getyour thoughts one eight hundred and six two
four eleven seventy one eight hundred sixtytwo four eleven seventy. We're gonna go

(09:24):
over the poll, the results andwant to hear what you think because I've
got some opinions Otis. I'm sureyou do too. The bloom Daddy Experience
with Salmon Otis on News Radio elevenseventy. Welcome back. It's eight twenty
one on this Tuesday morning. Youheard me right, Tuesday. We've got

(09:46):
a four day work week. You'relistening to the bloom Daddy Experience with Salmon
Otis on news radio eleven seventy WWVA. So a recent survey of two thousand
adults have found that forty one percentof Americans are fed up with politics.
Forty seven percent are frustrated with theprice of groceries. I concur on that

(10:11):
one because I went grocery shopping thisweekend. Yikes, I feel like I
need to take out a personal loannow. The other things made the list
like social media, driving habits,self checkout, woke terminology, But the
top two were politics and the priceof groceries. Another thing was tipping culture

(10:37):
and people talking about AI or artificialintelligence. Out of those otis, which
really annoys you, what annoys mejust about everything. But I didn't make
the list. I would say,you can't put that on there. I
would say probably the grocery prices,just because the fact that the inflation is

(11:03):
outpacing your wages, any wage increasesthat you're getting, inflation is outpacing that,
and so you're looking at up youknow, probably an average of like
a twenty five percent increase on almosteverything. There are some exceptions to that,
of course, but it's out ofcontrol. It is. I mean,
when when you're talking some things youknow at twenty five percent, some

(11:26):
things at seventy percent. You knowthe increases in the in your food.
And you need food to survive.I mean, not everybody can go out
and grow a garden or you know, grow their tomatoes or cucumbers or whatever
they're growing. You know, youstill need and it's you're still gonna have
to buy your meat unless you liveon a farm. You see what I'm

(11:46):
saying. It's just when you seethe prices and you just sit there and
you shake your head, but there'snothing you can do about it because you
need it. Right Well, Well, like I said, I went this
weekend. This weekend, and thereare certain things that the husband will not
has to have name brand. Oneis a brand of potato chips Lais.

(12:09):
And I went to get the partysize bag and it was over five dollars
for a bag of chips. Oh, it's ridiculous. Five dollars and three
quarters of that is air. Iwas just gonna say that. And I
came, I went home and Itold him, I said, listen,
you're we're going cheap. And Irefuse, I absolutely refuse to pay that

(12:31):
amount of money for fried potatoes.I just won't do it. There are
times you just have to look.Sometimes they're on sale and you can get
two bags for maybe seven dollars orsomething like that. But you have to
you have to do your research.But you know, here's the thing.
By the time you go to fouror five different stores to find that bargain,
you've paid that gas. You've paidthree times that in gas. You

(12:54):
know, so you might as welljust go ahead and pay, you know.
And there's little things like I trynot to, you know, living
by myself more or less, Iprobably don't eat as healthy as I should,
and I probably eat out more thanI should because I'm too lazy to
cook. I mean, I lovehard to cook for one or two listen,

(13:15):
I love to cook, but Ijust don't like I don't like to
spend forty minutes or fifty minutes doingsomething I have. You know, when
you're working two jobs and you getsome other things in the fire, and
you got to cut your grass andyou got to do this, I don't
want to spend forty five minutes cooking, you know, so it's you know,
there are things that I can do. I mean, I can you
know, you can put something inthe air fire and let on the spit

(13:37):
and you know, you know,you get twenty eight minutes for it.
You know. See there's other thingsyou can do. But you can only
do that so often, you know, before you get tired of it.
Right. Well, And it's hardto cook for one or two people because
of this, the amount of thesize of things at grocery stores. But
after going grocery shopping this weekend,and it was not a lot, it

(13:58):
was a small it was a smalltrip just to have some stuff for the
weekend, and I dropped one hundredand trull one hundred and twenty two dollars
something like that. That's not hard, I mean. And I I had
a few things in the little kidssection of the grocery car, and then
a few things and it wasn't evenremotely close to being full. But I

(14:20):
think that is going to be avery big The conversation of inflation, the
cost of groceries, the cost ofgoods, is going to be a very
big topic as we get closer andcloser to November. But some of the
other things that are annoying people likeI mentioned social media driving habits checkouts.

(14:41):
Self checkouts drive me nuts, absolutelynuts, because the number one, they
don't want to pay employees. Numbertwo, they can't find employees. Number
three, there's one one or tworegular lines open at a grocery store,

(15:03):
so then the majority of people goto the self checkout. There ends up
being an incredibly long line. Andthen there's always one or two people that
have an entire grocery cart full ofstuff and they're doing it all on their
own in this very tiny spot andthere's no it takes forever. Well,
it's just I think if you're gonnado self checkout, that it should be

(15:26):
you should have less than ten items. Ten items are less, I mean
simple as that. I mean,look, if I'm behind somebody that has
a full grocery cart and I havea half a gallon of milk and a
loaf of bread, I don't wantto stand in that line, so I
will go to this self checkout andI will get my stuff and go because
that's you know, now, ifI have a handful of stuff, I

(15:48):
always try to go to a checkoutperson unless there's none available. Right.
There's times of the day where yougo to this grocery store and there's not
that's all they have open and stuffcheckout because they have two employees standing over
there looking, you know, overseeingit right. Right. The other part
of this survey, which I haveto agree, I fall into this category

(16:10):
too, they found that Americans whobecome more negative as they age. Oh,
that's like the most unshocking portion ofthis entire pole. No surprise there,
no, And it starts around theage of forty two, maybe a
little sooner. A little sooner,say, I was thinking a little bit

(16:33):
later. I don't know if IIt all depends on what it is.
Yeah, this said, I mean, this says you become more grumpy.
I don't know if I become moregrumpy grumpy, Oh, I know you
have, or it's I've gotten tothe point where I don't care like whether
you whether you like me, whetheryou don't like me. I can take

(16:56):
it or leave it certain situations.I don't know if that's grumpy. No,
I just think that's growing up.I mean, I think because at
some point in time, why doyou care what other people think? Right?
My patience has shortened. Oh yeah, I will say that my patience
has gotten like minute at this pointnow that I think could come off as
as grumpy. But yeah, Iget it, I get it. We're

(17:18):
gonna talk about this. Give usa call one six two four eleven seventy.
Do you agree with this? Welcomeback? It's seven thirty six on
this Tuesday morning. You're listening tothe bloom Daddy Experience with Otis and Sam

(17:40):
on News Radio eleven seventy. Wwva. I was waiting for you to pipe
in there with with what you wantedto throw in earlier. It's a bloom
Daddy Experience with the Whopper and Sam. Oh if you missed the beginning of
the show, the National Hamberger It'sNational Hamburger Day and I was nicknamed the
Walk anyways, So we were talking, not saying a word. No,

(18:04):
no, that's it. I'm done. So we were talking before the break
of a recent survey that indicate,you know, forty one percent of Americans
are are fed up and sick ofhearing about politics, and then also forty
seven percent said they are frustrated withthe price of groceries and other things.
To make the list are social media, people's driving habits. Let's see here

(18:29):
talking about AI. The tipping culturethat's kind of gotten to me. Everywhere
you turn that there's there's tipping somewhere. So these are just a few things
want to hear from you. Oneeight hundred and sixty two four eleven seventy.
What is annoying you? Anything frompolitics to the cost of goods,

(18:51):
maybe something in sports. Social mediadrives me nuts. It's it's I know,
I don't let social media. Imean that's because I really don't pay
attention to it. And it's justI mean I'll go through, I'll scroll
through and I'll look at some picturesand you know, I see you know,
you see prom pictures, and yousee graduations, and you see weddings
and you see this, and yousee that, and that's fine, I

(19:14):
mean, none of that. Butonce it gets into something where it's controversial
or I might look at it,but I don't let it. It's it
just it's it's there and then it'sgone. I don't. I don't.
I don't let it bother me.I don't put any weight into it.
I don't even comment. There's timesI want to comment and you hold back
and I hold back because one ofmy position on this show and two because

(19:37):
of my other position with my otherjob. And sometimes I just don't want
to say something that is going toit's not so much offend anybody, but
I mean it's going to put mein jeopardy. Well. And I think
one thing that people don't take intoaccount, whether it's commenting on social media
or in an email or a text, you may write something or comment and

(20:03):
you have it when you're typing itin your head as you're thinking it is
coming off a certain way, whetherthere's a tone of sarcasm behind it,
or it's supposed to come off asa joking manner. When something is written,
it doesn't necessarily come off and isinterpreted by the reader the same way

(20:25):
that it is intended by you asthe writer. So when we're talking social
media and you comment on something,you may intend it to be interpreted a
certain way and it comes off differently, and from there it can turn into
who knows what, back and forthcommentary type of argument. But social media,
some people put way too much stuffout there, way too much.

(20:49):
I have somebody on my Facebook whoI basically have blocked or snoozed or whatever
the term is for like ninety days, because this person posts what they eat
every day, three meals a day. Listen sometimes care Well, here's the
thing. If you if you makesomething and it's something unique and it looks

(21:11):
good, it's different, and youdo it once in a while, I'm
okay with it. If you're postingevery meal, yes, that's that's a
little much. And the other thingthat I can't there's these people that play
these games like wordle yes, oh, and then they post that they got
it in Oh I did. Isolved it in three rounds. It's like,
who care? First off, youcan't even see what it was.

(21:32):
It's just like colored squares, andit's like, okay, so you solved
the puzzle. I mean, Ireally don't give a rats katoo. Yeah,
yeah, you're right. And here'sthe thing with this job. Unfortunately,
social media is part of the partof the gig. And like I
said at the top of the show, I made it a point this weekend

(21:53):
to disconnect, but you have tostay conn in the same regards when it
comes to social media. And Ihave been asked, do you have Instagram,
do you have TikTok, do youhave uh, Snapchat. Do you
have I can't even name them all. No, no, no, no,
I have Facebook. That's it.And if I say that to certain

(22:17):
people, they say, oh,that's the old people social media. Fine,
I'm okay, fine, I'm goodwith that. It's the one I
know. It's the one I understand. Other than that, I don't care.
I have an Instagram account, butI couldn't tell you the last time
I was on Instagram because it's basicallyFacebook. Yeah, yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I don't mean, what's why do you have to

(22:38):
have two of the same. Idon't you know platforms. I don't get
it. And I and I'm onSnapchat with like five people, and I
have people that send me requests forand that's not I don't want to be
your friend on Snapchat. The reasonI'm friends with the people I'm friends with
on Snapchat is so that I can, you know, relate to them one
on one. And it's it's fivepeople. It's like my son, my

(23:03):
girlfriend, a very good friend ofmine from our team, Alleghany's transplant.
And I think there's there's one ortwo other people that are there by mistake,
well and everything on Snapchat disappears.Sometimes that's a good thing. Well,
okay, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's it's just it's annoying.
You know another thing that's annoying sincewe've gone down this route, call

(23:25):
us one eight hundred sixty four elevenseventy. What annoys you? Is it?
Us? Might be one hundred sixtyfour eleven seventy. Texting? Okay,
I like to text. I textone or two things, like I
know people in my life. Mybrother, I'm gonna call him out,
refuses to talk on the phone.He wants to type out in text form

(23:49):
an entire conversation. I don't wantto type that long on my phone.
Pick up the phone and make aphone call. When has it become that
we cannot have a vocal conversation thatway. Oh and then you text him
and you might not get a responsefor three or four days. No,

(24:11):
it just it drives me nuts.And there's been times where I have fallen
into his trap and then I'll sayjust call me, or I'll try to
call him and he doesn't answer thephone. Where I know he's got the
phone in his hand because those threelittle dots are there flashing, because he's
typing basically the US Constitution and textform to me, because god forbid you

(24:37):
have a conversation. It's just Idon't know, texting his conversation without the
commitment. Oh god, it isso annoying, so annoying. And it's
also I think hurt our communication skillstexting and emojis and all of that.

(25:00):
And I think it's oh yeah,And I think it's also hurt our relationships
just in general, because you don'thave that that natural interaction. And like
I said before, you you donot pick up in text form. You

(25:21):
do not pick up the little inthe windows. You don't the sarcasm,
the joking, the the emotional tonein somebody's voice, right, And I
think that that has hurt, especiallythe younger generation, because if you can't
communicate, if you can't carry ona conversation with somebody, you are so

(25:44):
far behind. And I we're seeinga lot of that. We've seen that
here, younger people that have comehere to work, they can't carry on
a conversation. I've seen that outand about and they look at you like
like deers in the head, likewhat you want to talk to me?
Yes, I want to have aconversation with you, let's communicate, and

(26:10):
they just look at you like,h I don't know, and then they
start texting you and they start textingyou or I'll tweet you. I don't
know. It's it's it's crazy.I think I got it all out being
annoyed. Anything else that you canthink of, Otis that annoys you?

(26:32):
No, why I'm done? You'redone? Okay, I can tell you're
you're you got something percolating, youjust don't want to say it. Oh,
seven forty five on your Tuesday morning, The Blue Daddy Experience, we
get back something else that annoys me? No, boy, I'll tell you
what. Wait till you hear thenewest term that they want out there.

(27:00):
The bloom Daddy Experience with Sam andOtis on News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Welcome back, seven fifty one.The Blue Daddy Experience with Otis and Sam

(27:22):
on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA.So recently, we have seen a lot
of new terminology being used. Wehave seen things like unhoused or houseless in
place of homeless. Birthing parents.Wait a second, what's the difference between
houseless and homeless? Explain it?To me, I don't know. If

(27:45):
I live in an apartment, I'mhouseless because I live in an apartment,
right exactly. If I live ina trailer, I'm houseless because I live
in a trailer. So that makesabsolutely zero sense. Senne, go ahead,
I'm sorry you were talking about thingsthat annoy me. There, there
you go. There's a lot ofthings currently that don't make a lot of

(28:07):
sense. Okay. The term mother, oh good god, birthing parent or
birthing person, illegal alien because there'sall kinds of men that can have bag,
right exactly, or immigrant illegal immigrant. They want to call newcomer.
We've seen this for a while now. We would call you a newcomer if

(28:30):
you did it properly. But youare illegal because as soon as you cross
the border, huh, and youare not. You know, you're not
doing it the correct way. Youare illegal because you're breaking the law.
Okay, So if that gets youhere, you go. Otis In Illinois,
democratic state lawmakers are trying to changethe word offender or criminal to justice

(28:56):
impacted individual. Well, what's thebiggest city in Illinois, Chicago, because
and this is probably where it's comingfrom. So that just tells you right
there. I'm sorry. You area criminal this tap dancing. If you've

(29:21):
committed a felony, then you area felon, hence the word felon felony.
Yep. So if I rob astory, I'm not a burglar.
What are you gonna call me?Now? Improperly acquired item taker? Just

(29:42):
I mean the stupidity of this.Yes, this is just another example of
this kumbai yaw like dancing around.Sorry, yes, listen, there's certain
words that are there for a reason. You it doesn't matter, you know.
I mean that's like they you have, these animal rights activists. They

(30:03):
want to change the old phrase killingkilling, killing two birds with one stone.
They want to change that because wedon't want you to kill birds.
It's a saying shut the up.I know, I know, but we
wonder why the United States is startingto be looked at as soft. This

(30:26):
is why. It's part of it. This is an example of why.
Because if you break into somebody's head, okay, if you murder somebody,
are you not no longer a murderer? I improperly took some I properly ended
a life, I mean a lifetaker. No, you are a murderer.

(30:47):
You are a criminal. You area horrible person, plain and simple.
If you murder somebody. If you'rea pedophile, you're a pedophile.
You're not a lover of young people. That's disgusting. And this has passed
the Illinois State Senate and it isnow heading to the desk of the governor.

(31:10):
It'll pass because it's it's so farleft, it's unbelievable. See how
well this this goes down. Andif this catches fire to other states,
it won't, it won't, itwill It's like New York and California,
and and you know you're very liberalstates. It'll Michigan, it'll go it'll

(31:30):
go that way. But anybody that'sgot any common sense isn't going to go
for that. Well, and lookat the violence that we're seeing across the
country right now. We've all seenthe videos in New York City in la
where criminals are just walking right inand destroying and taking whatever they want.

(31:53):
There there's there's no penalty, andif you take away calling them what they
are, that just emboldens them more. I saw an article over the weekend
where Target is going to be rollingout where all of their items are in
cages, so that you can't shopthe shelves. Their shelves are going to

(32:17):
be see through cages. That's wherethat's not going to be everywhere. I
don't think. I can't remember ifit said all the stories, but that's
the direction we are going. Well, when you have, you know,
district attorneys and prosecuting attorneys that don'twant to prosecute these people, what else

(32:39):
do you expect? You know,Oh, well, guess what. It's
not a crime unless you steal fivethousand dollars worth of stuff. It's it's
it's not a crime because I onlystole four ninety nine dollars. But then
you see out of New York overthe weekend there was I don't know if
it happened over the weekend, butthere was a DEGA owner who shot a

(33:02):
thief in self defense and now he'sbeing put on trial. Now the thief
survived, I mean he did,he did not. But the guy who
was defending his business, his clientele, his items within his store, he's
the one being prosecuted and nothing's happeningto the criminal. And this is probably

(33:24):
a phrase that you're not allowed tosay anymore. But we are letting the
inmates run the asylum depends on howyou say it. You're fine, okay,
can we say inmates anymore? Whatcould be a new turndals Oh small

(33:45):
geography individual? So yes, justit impacted individual the new term for offender
in Illinois. Good luck with that. Good luck with that in Chicago because
you are going to have have plentywell the press, the press there love
it because that just takes up moreroom in their stories because they don't you

(34:06):
know, that's what they're going tosay, Oh, he's not a criminal,
he's a what is it? Injusticeimpacted individual, justice impacted individual?
Whatever? Yeah, for one talkshow in the Ohio Alley. Listen,
if it wasn't for that's your host, Daddy. You know you can't make
this stuff people. The bloom DaddyExperience on story. It is seven fifty

(34:37):
eight on this Tuesday morning. Thebloom Daddy Experience is Sam News Radio Beautiful
Sunesday morning. Thank you for tuningin. The bloom Daddy Experience with salmon
otis on news Radio eleven seventy ww v A. Before we get into
the next topic, I want togive a huge shout out and I'm a
little biased here an on minute andthat's to the Rotary Club of Saint Clairsville.

(34:59):
If you I drove through Saint Clair'svilleover this holiday weekend, you saw
American flags up and down Main Streeton the way to the mall. There
were American flags everywhere. And thatis a project that is done by the
Rotary Club of Saint clairs villet's fundraisingand what they do is for every holiday
through the spring and into the fall, they will come up and come out

(35:23):
and put flags out. The reasonI bring this up is I saw and
I was kind of complaining about socialmedia earlier, but there were so many
compliments that I saw on social mediaabout how Saint Clairsville and the surrounding area
looked so patriotic thanks to these flags. So I just wanted to give a

(35:43):
shout out to the team that organizesthat does all of the heavy lifting going
out and putting out those flags,because it was it did, it did
look wonderful, and it's a greatproject that the club has taken. This
is the fourth or fifth year doingit and it did look really good.
It's always nice to see that onMemorial Day, Veterans Day, fourth of

(36:04):
July. The patriotism you want tosee that come out. Yes, I
mean that's I think that's very importantto you know, stress to our younger
generation that that you know, thesedays are important for more than just hot
dogs in Hamburg, right or threeday weekends or whatever you want to call
it. But you know, it'sjust, you know, hats off to

(36:24):
the rotary. And I know you'rea member of that rotary, I believe,
and so I mean, you know, it is it is. You
know, it's a great thing andit would be nice to see more communities
step up and do stuff like that. Yeah, it's it's a great fundraiser.
And to aj who came up withthe idea, kudos because it has
taken off. Like you said,it makes such an impact. And besides

(36:46):
the the uh patriotism behind it andwhat it shows to our younger people,
the other side to it is thefundraising, which I think is also very
impactful and the younger people need tolearn about also. So two Fall a
great event and well deserved all ofthe positive feedback that's floating out there on

(37:06):
social media. Now to Oregon,and I can't wait to hear your thoughts
on this. So there is agroup out of Oregon called the Greater Idaho
Movement. Okay, hold on,so right, So what this is there
is the eastern side of Oregon.A lot of the people who live in

(37:30):
that part of the state are fedup with the policies, the liberal policies,
and they're they're fed up of beinglumped into You know how we say
La and New York, we sayOregon a lot too. They're tired of
being lumped into that. So whatthis group has done is they are asking

(37:52):
to have the eastern part, certaincounties of Oregon to be now part of
I don't they want to secede fromOregon, right and and be adopted by
Oregon. Correct. So they don'twant to, They don't necessarily want to
be their own state. They justwant they want to they want to switch
to you, from Oregon to Idaho. Yes, because the policies that Idaho

(38:15):
has falls more in line with thepeople who live in those counties on the
eastern side of Oregon in their theirway of thinking. Good luck with that,
I mean, I mean, Imean, I listen, I understand
it, I get it. Iknow where they're coming from. But that
that's going to be a hard thingto pull off, you know, I

(38:36):
mean, unless you got the support, I mean, unless Oregon's willing to
go yep, Okay, we'll seeyou later. Right. But you know,
you're talking tax dollars, you're talkingrepresentatives in Congress, You're talking there's
a lot of different things you're throwingout there, depending on depending on what
the population is in how many countiesand everything are going to switch. But

(38:57):
you know there's a lot more thatgoes into it then just you know,
you're talking about tax dollars, you'retalking about you know, representation, you're
talking there's you know, there's there'sa big it's a big thing, and
it doesn't does it just doesn't affectstate level? It would it would impact
national too, especially in the election. Yeah, but that's what I said.
You know, so maybe Oregon losesa representative in Congress and Idaho picks

(39:21):
one up. I mean, Idahois not that big of a state.
But does that Is there enough populationin the in the in the areas that
want to switch to maybe create thatyou know, where they would get the
extra senator or I'm sorry, theextra congress person. Is this an example
of an extreme thought of how isthis an extreme example of what people are

(39:45):
willing to do because they are sofrustrated currently. Well, and here's the
other thing, is this is thisa knee jerk reaction because this is something
How long has this been going on? Is it recent? Is it like
ten years? Is it five years? Is almost five? Okay, so
it's very recent. If this wouldbe going on for maybe fifty years,

(40:07):
then I think they would have alegitimate gripe. But a five year you
know, there's all kinds of thingsthat could swing in a five, ten,
twelve year, fifteen year period.So this generation wants to do that,
Well, what about the next generation? Do they want to come back?
You see what I'm saying, youknow, and then you can't go
back and forth, right, youknow, it's not the transfer portal.

(40:30):
It's just not you know, hey, I want to be okay, I'm
going to transfer to Idaho, thankyou very much, you know, And
then you know what happens to thepeople that live in that area that don't
want to do it. But Ithink this is this is a reflection and
we've been hearing the stories of alot of people that are fleeing state,
They're fleeing Oregon, they're fleeing Washington, California. Well, they say,

(40:52):
you can't even rent a U haulin California because people they're they're taking them
one way going to other places,because they're sick of the policies, they're
sick of their leaders. And Ithink a lot of people feel that they're
the ignored voices and they've had it, And I think this is this is

(41:13):
an extreme measure, but I alsobelieve it shows the desperation a lot of
people have. Well, if youlook at New York, if you look
at Michigan, if you look atIllinois and Washington, Oregon, a lot
of the people that live outside ofthe big cities are more conservative than the

(41:37):
ones that live in the big cities. So what happens is when you get
to Illinois, Chicago's population is solarge that it basically it squelches the you
know, the minority in the state. You know, if you took Chicago
out of Illinois, it would bea red state. If you took Detroit

(41:59):
and some of the bigger cities inMichigan out, it would be a red
sting. You see what I'm say. You know New York, Now New
York could be go either way.LA. I mean not La, but
California. You can go either way. But the bigger you know, look
at Atlanta, Atlanta rules Georgia.You know, everything else outside of Atlanta
is probably red majority, not all, but you know inside Atlanta it's all

(42:21):
blue. Okay, So let meask you this. A lot of the
big cities tend to be more ofthe minority bees as as we are seeing
there's a higher minority population. Yes, as we are seeing a lot of

(42:42):
minorities are starting to go more conservative. We talked about this last week.
I don't know if it's going tobe enough to move the meter. That's
what I was gonna ask. Isn'tenough. I don't you know when you
get into the bigger cities, Idon't you know, what are you going
to Is one or two percent goingto move the needle? Probably not so,
because you know, I'm trying tothink what the numbers were. Like

(43:06):
we saw last week when President Trumpwas in the Bronx and they said the
Bronx hasn't voted for a Republican sinceReagan in nineteen eighty four, forties plus
years ago. So you know,I don't think again, I don't think
it's gonna be enough to move tothe meter because if they voted blue eighty
percent blue, let's say it's eightypercent, so twenty percent was red.

(43:29):
Is that five percent going to makea difference. It's not going to make
a difference. Seventy five, twentyfive. You see, it's gonna be
it's gotta be a major move.Yeah, We're going to continue this conversation
because I had the Bronx up next. It is eight fifteen, The Bloom
Daddy Experience here on this Tuesday,Blue Daddy Experience with Samon Otis here on
news radio eleven seventy eight twenty oneon this Tuesday morning, The Blue Daddy

(44:00):
Experience with Otis and say I'm hereon news radio eleven seventy WWVA. So
before the break, we were talkingabout Oregon and they're a group that is
trying to basically secede from the majorityof the state and become part of Idaho.
And as I said, I believethis shows where a lot of desperation

(44:23):
for some people who feel that they'renot being represented, that they don't feel
like they're part of a conversation,and they don't want to be lumped into
a lot of the extreme left valuesthat come out of states like Oregon.
And I had a conversation with somebodythat now lives here locally who originally grew

(44:46):
up in northern California and they listento the show and kind of the same
conversation as this organ story. Theywere telling me, you know, when
we hear a lot of conversation aboutCalifornia, it's always La San Francisco,
San Diego. That's what the majorityof people know of the state and those

(45:12):
philosophies and how that part of thestate tends to lean politically. This person
was telling me, you know,I grew up in northern California and it
is completely different than the rest ofthe state. That it has a lot
of conservative values, that it isa farming community, and they hate when
they are lumped together with the southernpart of the state. And that goes

(45:38):
along the lines of what this groupfrom Oregon is saying about how they feel
also, and that's got to befrustrating. That's got to be annoying.
That seems to be the theme ofthe show this morning, that you know,
their values and their political views don'thave a voice in their state to

(46:02):
the point where they're willing to say, you know, let's chop our state
up into different sections and move andyou know, connect ourselves to another state.
And it's disheartening that we've gotten tothat point where conversations like this are
being had because our politics, ourpolitical atmosphere right now is so polarizing.

(46:32):
People are so frustrated. And Imean a prime example of that is,
you know we were talking just youmentioned the rally and the Bronx. So
the governor of New York, KathyHotchell, had a few things to say
where she referred to Trump supporters asclowns. Are we seriously going down that

(47:00):
route? Oh? Yeah, that'swhat they're gonna do. I mean they
can't. They can't fight him onthe facts, they can't fight him on
his accomplishments. So what are theygonna do. They're gonna try to bring
him down by calling him names.This is that's how they do it.
I mean they can't, they can't. They don't have any proof that he

(47:22):
did anything wrong. This. Imean, Alan Dershowitz, who's more left
than anybody that we've ever heard,said that this whole trial's a scam.
And even though he's he does notlike Trump at all at least he has
the common sense to admit that thisis this is basically a constitutional violation.

(47:42):
Well, I mean, at leasthe has the the mentality of an adult
to be able to say, Idisagree with this person and their politics or
their way of doing things, butthis is a constitutional matter. I mean,
he has he has the professionalism tobe able to make statements like that,

(48:04):
where we have other people not callingTrump a clown, calling his supporters
yea, a clown I mean,and please, by all means continue with
it, because Hillary Clinton went downthe same route in twenty sixteen. If
you remember, I just remember electionnight, and they were going around all
these places that voted for Hillary andthey're crying, and it just I mean,

(48:28):
it was so dramatic that it wasjust it was almost like staged.
Well she called in twenty sixteen,she called Trump supporters a basket of deplorables.
She said, the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic,
you name it. And unfortunately thereare people like that and he has lifted

(48:51):
them up. Really, I likewhen they call him a racist and he's
dated black women, wow, Imean, just I mean, he's given
more money, he started Inner Cityprojects thanks to Tim Scott. You know,
he and Tim Scott worked together onthose things he works with. He
worked, He gave the historically blackcolleges. They would come back every year

(49:13):
begging for money. And finally,like the second or third year, he
says, why are you coming backevery year? He said, here,
here's ten years worth. And hesaid, just he says, don't.
He said, I don't need tosee you every year. Here you go,
here's ten years worth of money.So he did. He gave it
to him. Well, and somebodyI read somewhere now, don't quote me
on this, but out of somany companies the size of his, he

(49:36):
had the most black women in leadership, probably per capita of employee versus other
companies of his size. I mean, they just make things up. They
do because because they can't, theycan't debate him on his policies, because
his policies work well. Shit,they may not all work perfectly, but

(49:58):
at least they work right right,and and it's just so frustrating the commentary,
the name calling. I mean,you do not accuse somebody of being
a racist or a xenophobic, orany of these titles and any of these
terminologies without any proof. Well,how about the fact that Joe Biden was

(50:21):
one of the ones that you know, he was against integrating the schools,
and he was against all these things, and he was He's probably one of
the most racist people there was inCongress or in the Senate at any time.
Yep. And yet and there's quotesof him saying things, and yet
nobody calls you out on it.Exactly exactly. Now, Governor Hotchell said
New York will never ever support DonaldTrump for president. Well, he's only

(50:45):
nine points behind Biden, and Bidenwon New York handidly sixty percent of the
vote in twenty twenty, so thetides are a change in as they say.
But I think when you drop tothis level with the name calling,
it works in reverse. It doesnot accomplish what I think they wanted to

(51:07):
accomplish. And by the way,can Hillary Clinton just go away? Go
away? She made a statement overthe weekend or end of last week about
you know, they weren't, weweren't ready for a female president. That's
why she lost. Go away,Hillary, just go away? Your crackpot
criminal eight twenty eight. The bloomDaddy Experience with Sam and Otis on News

(51:30):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back. It's eight thirty six on this Tuesday

(51:58):
morning. The bloom Daddy Experience withOtis and Sam here on News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. Every time you playthat bit, oh it's terrible. I
think of night at the Roxbury.Else it starts out, it kind of
gives you that kind of makes youyour head do that thing that they do.
Oh goodness, did you know thereare several kind of big time birthdays

(52:21):
today now? Yeah, John Fegertyfrom Creden's Clearwater Revolve CCR, it's his
birthday today, and it's also WestVirginia native and the NBA logo Jerry West's
birthday today. And Jerry is eightysix. And he is going into the
Nate Smith Basketball Hall of Fame forthe third time. He's been inducted,

(52:45):
the third time he's been inducted asa player, he's been inducted as a
general manager, and now he's goingin as a contributor to basketball. Well,
he is the logo. He isthe logo. Man. I don't
think he can contribute much more thanthat. And you know the thing is,
and I have not read his book, but Jerry talks about you know,

(53:07):
his his childhood growing up and howbasketball was a release for him and
that you know that one time hehad he slept with a shotgun under his
bed and was going to shoot hisdad one time because his dad was beating
on his mom o my and youknow. So you know, Jerry had
some demons there for a long time, and I think he finally got him
out. But that I mean,I've never met Jerry personally. My dad

(53:29):
has actually played basketball against Jerry Westin some of these tournaments that used to
that used to be you know,populate the area here. They would bring
in players from West Virginia University toplay in what was the like the Saint
Vincent Tournament and things like that,and my dad played against him in a
couple of those tournaments. But heuh, from what you know, everything

(53:52):
that everybody says, he is themost humble person you would ever want to
meet. That's what I was gonnasay. You know, you don't hear
a lot about him, but whenyou do do hear a about him,
he's you always hear how he's justthe nicest person. He's just a nice
person. Competitive as hell, buta nice part you know, when you
were on the floor, he justhe didn't you know you were his enemy.

(54:14):
But off the floor, you know, he you know, he had
respect for a lot of people onceyou cross that boundary line, and you
know, I mean he's just there'sjust down to earth. In fact,
you know I mentioned earlier about goingto my mom's college roommate's house. Well,
my mom's college roommate's husband and JerryWest were very good friends. So
I mean, you know it goesback. But I mean, you just,

(54:37):
I mean, when you talk abouta legend, you know he's one
of them. Well, and thenspeaking staying along the lines of basketball,
we lost a legend yesterday. Ohyeah, and Bill Walton unfortunately after complications
of cancer. I mean he wasseventy one years old, had just has

(54:58):
stood heck of a I mean hehe he made the center position, he
redefined it. Yes, Yes.And the funny thing, the funniest story
I think I've ever read about BillBill Walton, and it was in I
can't remember for I think it wasa book about John Wooden. Okay,
So John Wooden was the legendary coachin U c. L A. Had
he had at one time Luell Cinderwho became Kareem out Duel Jabbar. I

(55:22):
mean, he had he had legendsthere. And Bill Walton, of course,
tried to push the envelope with withJohn Wooden and he said, coach,
I'm growing or he came to practicewith some growth like he was going
to grow a beard. And Iguess John Wooden said to him, he
said, hey, Bill, doyou forget to shave today? Says no,
coach, I'm growing a beard.He said, well, he said,

(55:43):
it's been nice having you on theteam. He's going to just kick
him off the team because he hada beard. Wow, you know,
obviously you couldn't do that today.I thought he's gonna make fun of him
because it grow very well. No, but he just he was next he
said he was in the locker roomshaven. And I guess one thing about
Bill Walton too, or yeah,Bill Walton, he had a speech impediment
and he didn't do a lot ofinterviews as a player, and he really

(56:06):
shied away from public speaking. Andthen all of a sudden something came over
him and he became this tremendous publicspeaker and tremendous color commentator and just you
know, had fun at almost everythinghe did. He was you know,
he was a you know, hewas in nineteen late sixties, early seventies

(56:27):
hippie and he never changed. Well, And the thing that's funny is here
we are talking about basketball and nobodythe finals are going on. No,
not yet. Well, the Bostonjust qualified, I mean the playoffs and
everything. I haven't talked about thatat all. I don't think the NBA
is what it used to be,absolutely not. I mean, the heyday
of the NBA has it's come andgone. But West Virginia graduate Joe Mizzoola

(56:52):
is the head coach of Boston andBoston and will be playing for the national
or for the world title. Ohokay, they will be playing for the
NBA final title. Oh so you'vegot a little another tie to West Virginia.
Just throwing it out there. Wellthis this, I have a little
baseball news and this you may youmay. Uh, they're gonna talk about
West Virginia qualifying for the NCAA tournamentand they're gonna be planning theres. I

(57:13):
mean, I'm on a West Virginiarole. I might as well keep going.
No, oh, go ahead,I assume you're talking in college baseball.
Okay, yeah, no, thisis national so infamous umpire Angel Hernandez
is retiring today. He's gonna hangup his ump gear after thirty four seasons

(57:34):
in the majors. Here why here, this is why this is so important.
He is like the most hated umpin baseball, and it's considered one
of the worst ever to be hindto be behind home plate, and he's
absolutely the worst. And I justhad it pulled up and of course I
lost it because my finn went off. But the comments Angel Hernandez released his

(58:00):
comment that he's retiring and wants tospend more time with his family, and
the comments are just brutal. They'retalking about you should have happened, you
should have been fired years ago.Best thing to happen to baseball, biggest
news in baseball, you know,since you know, they're just everybody's ecstatic
that Angel Hernandez is going to begone. The only reason they couldn't fire

(58:20):
him he can He would always crydiscrimination because he was of Latin descent,
saying, well, you're only firingme because of my my heritage, which
is you know, And so theykept him and kept him and kept him
and when they would rate the umpires, they rate him after every game,
and then they rate him after theseries, and they rate him. He

(58:40):
was legitimately the worst umpire in MajorLeague Baseball. Here's the here's the thing
being a rough being an MP.If you've never done it, we have
no idea how fast things move,and they have to make split second decisions.
The problem is when you have somebodylike this who has a long time

(59:04):
track record of absolute failure. That'swhere I think it differs. Because the
umpires and referees, they can absolutelychange the momentum of a game. They
can change the the if you're apitcher, can change the the the vibe.

(59:30):
His balls and strikes were terrible.Yeah, I mean it's look,
you're never gonna be perfect. You'regonna miss You're gonna miss a close one
here and there. But when you'remissing calls that are six to eight inches
outside of the strike zone, thenyou have a problem. Or if you're
calling balls in the in they're rightin the middle of the plate, then
you have a problem. Some ofthese, some of these comments on Faith,

(59:51):
I'm glad he can finally retire andfinally focus on rehabilitating his vision loss.
Shame on MLB for never holding menaccountable to begin with. We essentially
had to wait for him to retire. This is absolute insanity. Uh,
they told him to resign or getfired. No one saw this claims coming,
including him. He finally made theright call. He'll probably miss his

(01:00:13):
retirement too. I mean, justthis is a top five day for baseball
in the last decade. Just,I mean, there's all kinds of things
that that man never missed, hisdinner reservation, ESPN play the day,
I mean, thank the Lord.End of an error, not an error,
end of an error. That's prettygood. Yeah, there's I mean,

(01:00:34):
there's some good ones out there.I mean, it's and he's just
I mean, it was just hebecame the focus of umpires for being bad.
You know, the umpires shouldn't bethe story in a baseball game.
The referee shouldn't be the story ina football or basketball game. The story
should be the players in the game. He became the story because of his

(01:00:55):
because of his ineptitudes. And that'sthe problem. If you're a rap for
an umpire, if if your callsare completely changing the direction of a game,
then you're the problem, not thegame. There's too much. I
mean, you can go back tothe call the New Orleans the playoffs championship

(01:01:19):
game. Yeah, that was awful. It was so blatantly bad, so
blatantly bad, you cannot review thatplay is unbelievable, right, and that
falls on the NFL. But again, that completely changed that entire football game
and the outcome of that entire seasonfor two teams. So yeah, they
do hold a lot of control.But he is out, he is retiring,
So a lot of baseball fans arecelebrating. We'll be back. It's

(01:01:44):
eight forty six The bloom Daddy Experiencewith Sam and Otis on News Radio eleven

I'm gonna wrap this up with someentertainment news this morning. First off,
one to remind everybody today is NationalHamburger Day. Woo after a weekend of
Hamburgers, it's National Hamburgers. Yeah, the timing is not the best.
I'm sure it falls on the twentyeighth every year, so it's probably just

(01:02:29):
not it just coincidence that it happenedon the day after Memorial Day. Yeah,
yeah, but there's many that arehaving different deals throughout the day.
Burger Kings on the list, Wendy'sis on the list, so check it
out. It is National Hamburger Day, go celebrate. So On some entertainment
news, Morgan Spurlock, director ofSupersize Me, did pass this weekend fifty

three again due to cancer complications.Big mags. Oh yeah. He came
to fame with his documentary Supersized.And I forget exactly it was McDonald's.
Did he eat a super sized mealevery day? Was that what it was?
I don't know if it was everyday or every meal. I never
saw the documentary. I saw Isaw parts of it, but I never

(01:03:14):
watched the whole thing. But yeah, I mean, just when you're you
know, between between the burger,the fries, the Coca cola, you
know, whatever you were. Imean, doing that for thirty days straight
can't be good for your body tobegin with. Well, he was born
in Parkersburg, West Virginia, andwas raised in Beckley, so he was

(01:03:37):
close to home. Then home alone. Everybody has seen home alone. If
you have not seen home alone,you're living under a rock. The original
house, do you remember it?Do you remember the view of that house,
the big brick with the Christmas lightson it. I don't know if
I've ever seen him alone all theway through. I know I've seen bits
and pieces of it, but Idon't know if I've ever seen it all

(01:03:59):
the way through. Oh my god. Okay, Well, the house that
was used as the exterior of thein the film is for sale. Okay.
Now it is in Illinois, andit is it's in when it when
a when it I'm not exactly surehow to say that. It is on

(01:04:21):
It has been renovated and expanded.It now includes an indoor basketball court.
Okay, a poker room in amovie theater. Wow. Okay, so
that I don't know if that justifiesfive mil. But Kevin could have had
we had a heck of a party, Yeah, he could have. I

(01:04:44):
mean I would have stayed home.I's gonna say, that's not a bad
house to be home if I gotif I got a gym, a basketball
court, you know, a pokerroom in a movie theater. Why would
I go leave me home alone anytime? Yeah, anytime. Were you a
big fan of the Office No.I watched one episode, maybe two episodes.

(01:05:05):
The first two episodes are going ondemand or whatever, and I just
never, like I thought. Ithought it was the stupidest thing ever.
And I have friends that say,well, you have to kind of get
through the first x amount of shows, the first season and then it gets
good, and I'm like, well, then what's the purpose of watching the
first season? Right? Yeah,I've watched maybe like the first five to

(01:05:30):
seven episodes, and I thought thesame thing. This is really dumb.
These are really dumb characters. AndI know that's what they were supposed to
be, but they were exceptionally dumb. I mean, well, and the
whole premise was kind of dumb.But people they love it. I get
it. People that are fanned areravenous about I mean, they just are
nuts about that show. Well,here's some good news. There is a

(01:05:54):
reboot coming to the Office Universe.Now. It's coming from the show original
creators Greg Daniels and Michael Coman,but it will not take place in Scranton,
PA. And it will not beabout a paper company. It will
still use the original format of likethe the mockumentary. So if you've not

(01:06:17):
seen the show, they film itas if it's a documentary. They talk
directly to the camera, So butit's not a documentary. They're making fun
of a documentary, i e.Mockumentary. The news show will follow the
same crew that filmed the original,but this time they'll cover a dying historic
Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying torevive it with volunteer reporters. That's interesting.

(01:06:44):
It is not coming to Peacock andnow it does not say where exactly
it's going to be yet one networkor whatever. Two cast members have been
announced. Dominal Gleeson he played BillWeasley in the Harry Potter films, which
I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. What yeah, I know. And

(01:07:04):
then Sabrina Impaca to Torri. She'san Italian actress show. She was in
season two of The White Lotus.So the you know, the the the
concept of dying newspaper and having volunteerreporters, you could have some fun with

(01:07:26):
that that you could like I wasn'tgonna say that, but but you could
really have Yeah you did, Youcould have really have some fun. It's
more exciting than a paper company thatwas the other thing in the original.
I was like, this is soboring. These people sell paper, Like
I don't know, everybody needs paper. Well, yeah, Daddy gets through

(01:07:49):
tons of it. Yeah, Iknow, maybe he wastes more than he
uses. I think maybe I justdidn't get the dry humor. I don't
know. But for those that arebig fans, there is a rebuot or
revival or next version of the Officeif you will. Does not say if
anybody will be returning character wise,but it is the original writers. So

(01:08:10):
I know one person that will notbe watching me me, So that's two
two people. There's two people filminghad Person or anything like that. So
yeah, I just it just wasone of those shows like I mean,
I love good comedy and I lovegood shows, and there's shows that I
didn't watch because I didn't, youknow, get into them at the beginning,

(01:08:31):
and I've gotten into them later onand reruns or whatever. Yeah,
but like this was not one.Not I tried, and I tried,
and I was just like, didn'tdo it, not a shot, and
didn't do it for me either.No, Well we're done, yay,
yay. We aren't out of here. Three days left,
