Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hope you're having a great morning and a good Friday
morning to you.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And it's going to be a rainy day today, but
temperature wise, hey, I'll take it.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
As a matter of fact. I looked for about the
next week.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
It looks like we're in the mid forties to even fifties,
and after that cold spell we had, I'll take every
bit of it.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Want to store off the show.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Today by telling you about a spaghetti dinner benefit. And
usually that's never good news whenever it's a benefit, and
that's the case here. But it's for somebody who I
spent a lot of time with and his name is
George Bomborse. This guy is a legend in the ovbl
Ohio Valley Baseball League back in the day. And I'll
get to that in a second. This is gonna be
at the Adena American Legion. This is Saturday, February fifteenth,

(01:05):
from noon to five. So if you know George bon Boris,
please try to show up. Obviously, they're trying to offset
medical costs. They're gonna have a Chinese auction whiskey raffle,
fifty to fifty drawings are gonna begin at four thirty.
It's ten dollars for a dinner. You're gonna get a spaghetti, salad, bread,
and dessert. The proceeds, as I mentioned, will benefit George's
medical expenses.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Dine in or takeout available.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
So George bon Boris, he's been diagnosed with spindle cell
sarcoma and he's got a challenge ahead of him. He's
currently in the Harrison County home and friends, family coming
together to help try to alleviate that financial burden of
his medical expenses. So if you'd like to donate, help
him out, do whatever you can because George needs it
right now. And again, this is a spaghetti dinner benefit

(01:50):
for George bon Boris at the Edena American Legion Saturday,
February fifteenth. Now, my history with George bon Boris growing
up in Lafferty as a kid, I idolized this guy,
I mean, George was larger than life playing for Lafferty
of the Ohio Valley Baseball League. Him, Johnny Ridgeway, Joe Dudek,

(02:11):
I mean Dan Semini. I grew up watching these guys.
I did not grow up idolizing Major League Baseball players.
I grew up idolizing guys like George Boon, Boris, Jeane Katani,
Jimmy Baugh watching them in the OVBO.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
And I was a batboy for Lafferty.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I think when I was eleven years old and George
could play. Now let's fast forward two great stories about George,
because I'm not gonna make this sad.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I took over the Lafferty.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Team, and I was probably in my mid to late
twenties weekend sportscaster here in the Valley, still playing baseball.
George at that point in time had to be he
had to be mid to late forties. I'm just guessing
because George is that guy who when he was twenty,
I think George probably looked like he was sixty.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
So I had to be mid forties to late fifties.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Best days behind me, But he loved baseball, still competed.
He went out on a I believe it was a
Monday night, pitched seven innings for us. We beat somebody.
I think it was Dilly's Bottom at the time. The
next day, I can remember this like it's yesterday. I'm
getting the ball field ready in Lafferty. I'm lining the field.

(03:25):
Here comes George in his uniform, beer gut at that
stage of the game, cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
And George is a man of few words, walks up
to me. He goes, hey, Bloomer, I could barely pick
up my arm. I said, I you pitched seven innings yesterday, George,
I get it. I said, do you want to sit
out today or do you want me to d h

(03:47):
He goes no, I could probably only give you two
to three innings on the mound. And I just looked
at him, and the guy just told me he can't
pick up his arm, but if I need him for
two or three innings.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
And George is one of the toughest sobs I've.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Ever met my life. And look, I have no idea
how tough George was. But George just looked tough, so
nobody tried him, which brings me into my second story.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think I was even younger than that.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think I was early twenties Ohio Valley Baseball League Championship.
It's Lafferty against Elm Grove, were playing at Patterson Field.
I come sliding into the plate. It's a bang bang play.
I collide with the catcher. Ketcher shoves me in the face.
I jump up, he jumps up. Benches clear. I mean
it's go time. Guys have got each other by the shirt,

(04:37):
arms are drawn back. First punch is coming from somebody,
and all of a sudden, you hear this guy yell
and everybody just stops and looks because of the guttural
sound of the yell. And it's George and he's standing
at the edge of the dugout in Patterson Field, third
base side, cigarette in his hand, and he just looks,

(05:00):
and I can't remember who it was on the Elm
Grove team. He just looks at him many points and
he goes, I'm gonna start with you.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm gonna kill you, and then I'm gonna go right.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Down the line, and everybody just it got quiet for
about two seconds. Everybody kind of patted each other on
the back and we went back to playing baseball. I
have no idea if George can fight. I had no
but he looked like he could. And I'll tell you what,
nobody on ELM. Grove side wanted to take a chance
at it. George is just one of those guys man,

(05:32):
I mean, just tough, worked every.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Day of his life. I mean, I love him to death.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So if you can get out to this spaghetti dinner
benefit for George Bombors. I was around this guy for
probably thirty years and I think I heard him say
a total of twelve words, and most of them were
at that Patterson Field that day when the when the
fight almost broke out. So if you can help out
a good guy, please do spaghetti dinner benefit George Bombors

(06:03):
at the Adena American Legions Saturday, February fifteenth. It's going
to be from noon to five and it's only ten
dollars per dinner.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Great guy, I mean, great memories.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
See now as I'm talking about the old ovbl and
some of those names, I mean, you know, and George was.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
An outstanding athlete.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I believe it catus and he was just phenomenal back
in the day. I know he probably threw mid to
high eighties in his prime. And look back in the
late seventies early eighties. That was like throwing ninety four today.
I mean, you didn't see a lot of that, but
George could definitely bring it. And then when I think

(06:40):
about some of the games I watched him play against
those great teams from Warwood Al Glitch and you know
that Beau McConaughey and that whole crew. And then the
games I got to watch Lafferty play against Maynard. I
mean being a young kid and seeing the likes of
Joe Dudek and George Boon, Boris, Johnny Ridgeway, remember my

(07:03):
buddy Davy Jones played center field for a little bit.
I mean, just some incredible names, and then Maynard with
with Katanny and Ball, and I mean you get Jimmy Cesario,
and I mean you just go down the list. I
try to tell my kids now that even play in
the OVBL. My middle son, my older one played in
the OVBL. I go, you know, this league has got

(07:24):
a long, storied history. And if I just wish you
guys were round to experience what I got to see
and what I got to play in, because I mean
it was just something special. We're gonna take a break
the bloom Daddy Experience on eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (07:38):

So do tell or I mean, there's a handful of
us that tomorrow afternoon, late morning, early afternoon. I think
my oldest son and a friend of mine and my
youngest son, we're all going to head up to Washington, PA.
There's a huge card show up, like six hundred tables

(08:29):
if you want to cards graded. Like SGC, which is
a grading company, they're actually going to be there. I
use that, I use them a lot because they're they're
quick turnaround, and they're very they're they're relatively inexpensive.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
So they're going to be there on They're going to
be there on.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
Site, and then there's gonna be a couple of places
that will submit to p s A, which is the
granddaddy of them all for grading. And p s A

of the same, but they're a little bit different. Uh

All you have to do is predict the final score

in other words, if you think the score is gonna
be Philadelphia thirty five Kansas City thirty one, send it

entry per person. The closest to the score with the
least point differential will be the winner. So in other words,

two point differential, okay uh. In case of any ties,

That's right. By god.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Wow, we are feeling it this morning.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I'm feeling something.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
You saw something this morning?

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Yeah, so speaking Springsteen had blinded by the light. I
was blinded by the hip.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
A little, a little early morning half moon action. If
you will anyway to go there, no, no, no, anyways.
That brings me to this our question today for some fun,
what annoys you about your coworkers?

Speaker 5 (13:01):
And so we depend on which job I'm in, And.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
We brought this up earlier in the week, so everybody,
you have had plenty of time to think about this.
We did this Monday or Tuesday, so plenty of time.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
Now.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Of course, this of course comes from a poll. We
love our polls. Not cleaning up, gossiping, inappropriate language, being
late to meetings. Those are some of the things that
people in this survey said. So, you know, what is
it about your coworkers that annoys you? And I'm looking

(13:34):
at Otis, but he's he's diligently.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Thinking about it. I was looking for something. I thought
there was a meme that I saw, and I thought
I screenshot at it because I wanted to share it
with a friend of mine. And it talks about it.
It talks about the positive of having a coworker that
you know, you started out as coworkers.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
But now it's turned into it's.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
Turned into a great friendship and and and that has
happened with me in my other job, and it's happened here. Yeah,
you know, I mean, blim Daddy and I we've always
been friends for We've been friends for a long time,
probably twenty years or longer. And and then you and
I have developed in the last oh yeah, you know,

(14:21):
two years, two years.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
I spend more time with you sometimes than my own husband. Yeah, well,
that's why you have to.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
There's a comment there that I just I'm gonna let it.
I had it, and I said stop. That's one of
the that's one of the few times that my head
stopped my mouth before it came out.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
No, but think about it. You're coworkers if you depending
on the career, but nine times out of ten, you
spend just as much more, if not more time with
them than you do in your own home.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Loved one absolutely, and I and in my other job,
I'm kind of on my own, but we we do
work together at times, and I've developed some very good
friendships in that other job.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
You have to really like your car with what.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
You do, yes, And I've also there are also people
that I can't There's there's a handful of people that
I just I can't stand working with. Like if I
had to, my uncle had a saying that said he
would say if it was a person he didn't like,
and let's just say, Jimmy could die tomorrow and it

(15:28):
would be a day too late. There's a couple of
people that I work with that that's the sentiment that
I have, and that's not really that's not very nice,
but it just tells you how much you do not
like them. I don't want to wish anybody harm, right,
but it's just a saying.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Would it be a big loss if they absolutely went
away from the job.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Now, In fact, we were not a plan at the job.
The one person we were talking about that I have
to work with next month, yes, and where we're going
to be. I'm like, there's a lot of remote places
that could end up missing.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
You said that yesterday. I'm like, that sounds like the
beginning of Dateline.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
And I work with two former state troopers, so I
got good advice. I can get good.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Advice the way you said it yesterday when we were
talking off air, it was like I heard it in
Keith Morrison's voice from the beginning of a Dateline episode,
just like Dave said on Facebook. Of course I put
this out on Facebook. Inability or unwillingness to bathe y,
that's a we'll kick it off with that one, Dave.

(16:31):
I uh, I got to agree with you on that one.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
You don't want if you, especially if you work close
with somebody, you know, I get maybe a one time thing.
Maybe they just came from the gym or something and
they didn't and they weren't working, you know, they didn't
get a chance to take a shower. Yeah, but I
don't want to be next to them the whole day.
That's what I want it to be all the time.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
No, that's when you just very nonchalantly slide a bar
soap on their chair. Yes, very uh yep, without revealing
yourself anyway. Okay, let's do it. Let's do our first
we got.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
We gotta your first chance to win today. We're gonna
do tough Man tough Man four man tickets.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
There you go, a four pack. What number we want
to do?

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Let's do Let's do a high number. Okay, let's do
number seventeen.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Okay, one a hundred sixty two four eleven seventy. Caller
number seventeen. Four tickets to tough Man one eight hundred
six two four eleven seventy. It is seven twenty eight
coming up? How dumb is woo Be Goldberg The bloom
Daddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA,

(17:52):
welcome back. So we have Michael Michael N. David So
far got your registrations for our big game Super Bowl
thing that we're doing.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah, pick pick, the score, pick the score. Yeah, we
know what we're saying.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
So if you want to be like them, sam at iHeartMedia.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
Dot com and you have until noon on Super Bowl
Sunday to get your picks in.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yes, yes, all right, So I, particularly specifically Otis, did
not let you know what I was going to say
before we went to the last break, which is par
for the course. How how dumb is whoopee? All right,
here's why. Here's why I asked this question. You know,
here's the problem us, along with how many other media

(18:40):
outlets keep giving these people airtime. The problem is what
they say is so stupid it's really hard to refrain
refrain yourself from bringing it up. So the newest thing
after the new White House Press Secretary Kroline Levitt spoke

(19:03):
the next day. Of course, these cackling hens just decide
to well, I tried to hold back. I refrained myself,
decide to go after her. They criticize her age. They
of course criticized the thing that she says.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Age, which is something you have no control over.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Right, Okay, here's what got me the most was the
reference to she was the shining lead example of the
rise of mediocrity. With this administration will be I'm sorry
to tell you and the rest of your cohorts, this

(19:46):
twenty seven year old, remarkably spoken, intelligent, take no prisoner's
White House Press secretary is something that you're not used
to because we have all been saturated, we have been
drowning in mediocrity for the past four years.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Well, she runs circles around that tree stump that they
called the press secretary Creier Jean Prier. Yes, I mean,
if it wasn't in the notebook, she could not think
off the top of her head exactly. She could not
answer a question because she wasn't knowledgeable enough to answer
it on the fly without a note without something being

(20:27):
in a notebook, and which tells you that the questions
were predetermined.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
And here's the other part of this. Now I don't
have the exact quotes in front of me, but as
they were laying judgment on this young woman, they brought
up wokeness because during her first press conference she made
a reference to this is the end of wokeness. This

(20:54):
administration is not pandering to this quote unquote cultural move
meant that his, in my opinion, being been an absolute
travesty on this country.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Than percent.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Correct. Yeah, So then whoopee decides to go on a
hilltop and preach that the only reason Caroline Levitt has
the podium that she has is because of wokeness. If
it wasn't for wokeness, if it wasn't for DEI, she

(21:32):
wouldn't be standing behind that podium. Well, well, I'm sorry,
and I hate to tell you. Women are where we
are not because of wokeness that started four years ago.
This goes back thirty plus years for the women that
burn their bras and work to get where they are
and broke through the glass ceiling. It doesn't have anything
to do with wokeness in DEI. And that's the problem

(21:55):
with DEI. She pointed out exactly what the problem is
labeling somebody who made an accomplishment because of DEI.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
No.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
I want to get to a certain level or accomplish
things in my life because of me, because of my
work ethic, because of my intelligence, because of the standards
I hold myself to, not because of some sort of
cultural movement that raises me to a certain level when
I do not deserve it. And to try to flip

(22:31):
the page on Caroline Levitt and make it seem as
if she got to where she is because of the
left movement of wokeness and all of you people like
at the View is insulting to her, and it's assault
insulting to every female who's lifted themselves up and broke
through the glass ceiling to accomplish what they've accomplished.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
So let me just pose this question.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
I'm done.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
Sorry, whoop he's an actress, Joy Bahar is like nine
hundred years old. I don't even know who else is
on that show, but they the only reason they're on
the View is because they probably couldn't hold a real job,
and they are basically conservative bashers and Trump haters. The

(23:23):
only reason they're on the show. You have Whoopee, who's
a black actress. You have Joy Reid, who's a white,
older lady. You have somebody on another lady of color.
I believe that it is gay if I'm not mistake.
There's a Latino on there, and she probably fits a
She probably checks a box somewhere other than just being Latino.
So they all check a box or two boxes. That's

(23:46):
the only reason they're on the show. There's not any
other network that would hire them for anything but The View.
Because they do not have any talents. Whoopy's an actress,
can get a job in a movie, in a TV show, whatever,
but she's not like No, No, CNN, Fox, Newsmax, A, NBCC.

(24:12):
They're not calling Whoopee for her political opinions.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Well, and that's why I don't understand somebody like Whoopee
going on the where they've put her in this this
leadership seat, around that table where she was the dancing nun.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
I mean in a great movie. She was great in
that movie, right, sister.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Act that's it, you know, that's the lane that you
excel in. Here's the thing that's interesting. And I don't
know if you've seen this. There are rumors flying around
that I believe it's CBS that is working on an
opposite version of The View, okay, and names that are
being thrown out there are Megan Kelly, Candae Owens. But

(24:55):
those are the top two that popping into my head.
And like I said, that's just a rumor floating around.
It would be interesting, though, It would be interesting. Now.
What I would love to see is these women from
the View invite Judge Janine from Fox News on. That's
not gonna happen, right, but I'd love to see him spell.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Well. They also loved Donald Trump when Barbara Walters was
on of You and he came on. They loved him
until he ran for until we got into politics. Then
all of a sudden, it's like he became they we
love you, we love you, and then I'm gonna run
for president. Oh my god, you're the worst person ever

(25:32):
on the planet. What flip the switch? I don't get it,
you know, And it's just, you know, you look at
some of these people, and first off, I don't think
I've ever seen an episode of the View, although after
the election I did watch the ten minute clip you know,
on you where they were like desperation and everything else.

(25:55):
So yeah, I mean, which was kind of comical. But
you know, I mean it's just they all have an agenda,
they all have a like I said, they all check
two boxes for your DEI you know, so how do
you how and whoopy? How do you value her opinion?
When she recommended that Jill Biden be the surgeon general

(26:16):
because she's a great doctor, she didn't even know that
she was a doctor of education, which does not make
you qualify to be surgeon general. There you go, whoopee
you just right there. You should have been thrown off
the show because of your stupidity.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
M Now, it just like I said, it just it
really ate at me when I saw what they were
saying about Caroline Levitt. I mean, just and to throw
mediocrity around. It's like, really, are you serious? Where have
you been for four years?

Speaker 5 (26:48):

We're what otis two weeks from Valentine's Day?

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Roughly in two weeks exactly.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
All right, well here here, here's a unique gift. The
Louisville Zoo will let you name a cockroach after your ex.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah. This has been going on for all I've never
seen this a lot of the zoos. It's like a
fundraiser type thing for like, for like two bucks, you
can name her five bucks or it's some sort of
a donation and then you and then they draw a
winner or something of that nature. A lot of zoos
have been doing that.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
The roach will then be fed to a turtle at
the center.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
So there you go. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I'm not gonna say a word.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, that h I don't know. If I have
an X I do that for Probably not. I don't
care enough to even take the time.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
M I'm probably with you.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I mean, I don't know, although five bucks to I would.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
I may, I may do it for the for the donation,
but I would have to really think about which now
I probably wouldn't have to think about.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
We checked out.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Wouldn't take too long, so we talked about the Super
Bowl a couple times. Obviously, the ads, this is always
a big part of the conversation. The cost for the
advertising has has come out, so I will say this,
the past couple of years, I have been greatly disappointed

(29:29):
blackluster in the Super Bowl ads. They have just been
And is it because there's been so much build up
that no matter what, you're gonna be disappointed. I don't know,
but it's expected that more than one hundred and twenty
million people will view the game. They expect to see,
of course Anheuser Busch, Meta, Pepsi, Freedo l a Taco Bell,

(29:52):
Uber and many others by advertising. Some ad spaces sold
for over eight million dollars for thirty seconds a million dollars.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
And Jeff Bezos. Yeah, which reminds me I haven't checked
to see if we've had a Bezos update.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Oh, there'll be one for the super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Don't you think there might be one? I mean, like
that service, I should you know, there's there's something that
comes out every day. And because we don't play as
many comedy cuts as we used to, I don't always
check it.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah, falseho, I mean.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
I may have to.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
I did see where with Anheuser Bush there is going
to be a cult. It's the first time there's been
a Clydesdale cult in one of their ads.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
For a while out there you said a cult.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Oh no, CULTI board, Yes, the Clydesdale.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Did you ever ever have a Super Bowl ad that
made you buy a product? I mean I think like
if you look.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
At it, like pizza Hut or something, Yeah, but you were.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Probably already eating pizza Hut.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
You know.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
You see what I'm saying, Like, if there's a pepsi commercial,
you were probably already drinking pepsi. No for the product. No.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
From a marketing perspective, which I've done for a long time,
if you want people to buy your food products for
the super Bowl, you got to hit them before, right,
that's that's not during the super Bowl. And I don't
care how much money you have. I would not spend
eight million dollars for thirty seconds.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
Well you know.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Remember the it was I think it was an investment
firm or something where they had the talking babies.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
No, this were good.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
They were funny, you know. But again, is that swaying
you to that investment firm.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
I couldn't tell you now what it was.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
How many times have you watched a commercial during the
Super Bowl and it ends and you say, what was that?

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah? A couple times?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
What was that for?

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Well, what's the one that ran in nineteen eighty four
for Apple computers, where like everybody's the Zombie. I don't
know if it was it ran in nineteen eighty four,
it ran in the eighties, but it was based on
George Orwell's there was only one time, yeah, for Apple Computers, Okay,
And so like everybody was like, everybody was very monotonous.
They all looked the same, they all had the shaved heads,

(32:09):
they all had the same clothes on. And then they
just like they're walking in unison, kind.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Of like teenagers staring at their phone, right, And then
so they all.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Come into this thing and there's this big screen TV
and it's telling them what to do. And then all
of a sudden, the lady comes in with the hammer
and she swings the hammer and she throws it into
the screen and breaks the screen, and then it kind
of like breaks all the trance.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
That they have.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Everybody breaks them out of it.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Yeah, And it was for Apple Computers. It only ran
one time Sea. I don't remember it, but it's very
I mean, you can they talk about that as being
one of the most impactful super Bowl commercials ever.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yes, see that I must have been pretty young.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
It had like a George Orwell theme to it from
nineteen eighty four and then you know, like Apple, that's
like when the PCs first came out. So I mean,
what are you talking late eighties, early nineties, something of
that nature.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
See, when I hear super Bowl I always think of
the one. I believe it was Budweiser, And it wasn't
the frogs and the Clydesdales.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
This the.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
The woman was upstairs and she had on like a
neglige or whatever, and the husband comes running and I
forget what she says to him, and he jumps on
the bed because he's like, hey, maybe you know he
thinks he's gonna get lucky, and he slides off the
silk sheets and he flies through the window.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
I kind of remember, do you remember that one?

Speaker 4 (33:28):
For some reason, that's the one that sticks in my
mind when I think Super Bowl commercials.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Well, you know, there have been some good ones. I
mean remember PEPSI in the eighties. I think they used
Michael J. Fox a lot because he was the hottest
thing going, you know. I mean he was big on
family ties, had the Back to the Future movies, you know,
teen Wolves. He was the hottest. He was one of
the hottest commodities at the time. And then you know,

(33:53):
then you had Michael Jackson that did Pepsi glove and yeah,
and he's hair caught on fire.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yes, I remember that. Alex P.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
Keaton Yeah, so yeah, but yeah, I mean, you know,
and it's that you know, in that story you had there,
it said PepsiCo Free, Dolay, Taco bellt with Hell, they're
all of them by PepsiCo.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
So oh, that's right, they're all overall.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah, you know, Pepsi owns Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried, Chicken,
something else, three, Dolay.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, long John Silver's I think is in there.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
I don't remember. I can't remember them all. Pizza hut,
I think in there.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, Okay, you're making me hungry.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
I'm not making it's making me hungry, making yourself hungry.
Pizza actually always our mind.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Pizza actually sounds good at eight o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
But you know what we gotta do. We got to
hold on loosely and.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Don't let go. But we're gonna let go some tickets.

Speaker 5 (34:40):

that cold spell we had, I'll take every.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Bit of it.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Want to store off the show today by telling you
about a spaghetti dinner benefit. And usually that's never good
news whenever it's a benefit, and that's the case here.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
But it's for.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Somebody who I spend a lot of time with and
his name is George bom Boris.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
This guy is a legend in the ovbl.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Ohio Valley Baseball League back in the day. And I'll
get to that in a second. This is gonna be
at the Adena American Legion. This is Saturday, February fifteenth,
from noon to five. So if you know George bon Boris,
please try to show up. Obviously, they're trying to offset
medical costs. They're gonna have a Chinese auction whiskey raffle.
Fifty to fifty drawings are gonna begin at four thirty.

(36:34):
It's ten dollars for a dinner. You're gonna get a spaghetti, salad, bread,
and dessert. The proceeds, as I mentioned, will benefit George's
medical expenses dine in or takeout available. So George bon Boris,
he's been diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma and he's got
a challenge ahead of me. He's currently in the Harrison
County home and friends, family coming together to help try

(36:56):
to alleviate that financial burden of his medical expenses. So
if you'd like to donate, help him out, do whatever
you can, because George needs it right now. And again,
this is a spaghetti dinner benefit for George bon Boris
at the Edena American Legion Saturday, February fifteenth. Now, my
history with George bon Boris growing up in Lafferty as

(37:17):
a kid, I idolized this guy. I mean, George was
larger than life playing for Lafferty of the Ohio Valley
Baseball League. Him, Johnny Ridgeway, Joe Dudek, I mean Dan Semini.
I grew up watching these guys. I did not grow
up idolizing Major League baseball players. I grew up idolizing

(37:39):
guys like George bon Boris, Jeane Katany, Jimmy Baugh watching
them in the OVBO. And I was a batboy for Lafferty.
I think when I was eleven years old and George
could play. Now, let's fast forward two great stories about George,
because I'm not going to make this sad.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I took over the Lafferty.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Team and I was probably in my mid to late
twenty weekend sportscaster here in the valley, still playing baseball.
George at that point in time had to be he
had to be mid to late forties. I'm just guessing
because George is that guy who when he was twenty,
I think George probably looked like he was sixty. So
George had to be mid forties to late fifties. Best

(38:21):
days behind him, but he loved baseball, still competed. He
went out on a I believe it was a Monday night,
pitched seven innings for us. We beat somebody. I think
it was Dilly's Bottom at the time. The next day,
I can remember this like its yesterday. I'm getting the
ball field ready in Lafferty. I'm lining the field. Here

(38:42):
comes George in his uniform, beer gut at that stage
of the game, cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and
George is a man of few words, walks up to me.
He goes, hey, Bloomer. I could barely pick up my arm.
So you pitched seven innings? Yes, today, George, I get it.
I said, do you want to sit out today or
do you want me to d h He goes no,

(39:06):
I could probably only give you two to three innings
on the mound. And I just looked at him, and
the guy just told me he can't pick up his arm,
but if I need him for two or three innings,
And that was George is one of the toughest sobs
I've ever met my life. And look, I have no
idea how tough George was. But George just looked tough,

(39:27):
so nobody tried him, which brings me into my second story.
I think I was even younger than that. I think
I was early twenties. Ohio Valley Baseball League Championship. It's
Lafferty against Elmgrove. Were playing at Patterson Field. I come
sliding into the plate. It's a bang bang play. I
collide with the catcher. Ketcher shoves me in the face.
I jump up, he jumps up. Benches clear. I mean

(39:50):
it's go time. Guys have got each other by the shirt.
Arms are drawn back. First punch is coming from somebody,
and all of a sudden, you hear this guy yell
and everybody just stops and looks because of the guttural
sound of the yell. And it's George and he's standing
at the edge of the dugout in Patterson Field, third

(40:12):
base side, cigarette in his hand, and he just looks
and I can't remember who it was on the Elm
Grove team.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
He just looks at him and he points and he goes,
I'm gonna start with you. I'm gonna kill you, and
then I'm.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Gonna go right down the line, and everybody just it
got quiet for about two seconds. Everybody kind of patted
each other on the back and we went back to
playing baseball. I have no idea if George can fight.
I had no but he looked like he could. And
I'll tell you what, nobody on Elm Grove side wanted
to take a chance at it. George is just one

(40:49):
of those guys man, I mean, just tough, worked every
day of his life.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
I mean, I love him to death.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
So if you can get out to this spaghetti dinner
benefit for George Bonbors. I was around this guy for
probably thirty years, and I think I heard him say
a total of twelve words, and most of them were
at that Patterson Field that day when the fight almost
broke out. So if you could help out a good guy,

(41:17):
please do spaghetti dinner benefit George bon Bors at the
Adena American Legions Saturday, February fifteenth. It's going to be
from noon to five and it's only ten dollars per dinner.
Great guy, I mean, great memories. See now as I'm
talking about the old ovbl and some of those names,
I mean, you know, and George was an outstanding athlete,

(41:37):
I believe it catus and he was just phenomenal back
in the day. I know, he probably threw mid to
high eighties in his prime. And look back in the
late seventies early eighties, that was like throwing ninety four today.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
I mean, you didn't see a lot of that, but
George could definitely bring it.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
And then when I think about some of the games
I watched him play against those great teams from Warwood,
Al Glitch and you know that Beau McConaughey and that
whole crew, And then the games I got to watch
Lafferty play against Maynard. I mean, being a young kid
and seeing the likes of Joe Dudeck and George bon Boris,

(42:19):
Johnny Ridgeway, remember my buddy Davy Jones played center field
for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
I mean, just some incredible names.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
And then Maynard with with Katanny and Ball and I
mean you get Jimmy Cesario, and I mean you just
go down the list. I try to tell my kids
now that even play in the ov BL. My middle son,
my older one, played in the ov BL. I go,
you know, this league has got a long storied history.
And if I just wish you guys were round to
experience what I got to see and what I got

(42:48):
to play in, because I mean, it was just something special.
We're gonna take a break The bloom Daddy Experience on
eleven seventy WWVA back after.

Speaker 7 (42:57):
This, well, how about it, it's eighteen.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
It's Friday, baby, Baby, It's Friday. The bloem Daddy Experience, Otison,
Sam News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. Our questions today, Most
annoying habits of your coworkers, like Nancy said on Facebook,
talking personal business at their desk and making sure everyone

(43:30):
can hear it. For some reason, Nancy reminded me of
something last week. I went to doctor's urgent care and
there was this woman on her phone, and the waiting
room I would say there were ten to fifteen people
in there. I mean, it wasn't just two or three.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
It was a pretty much.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Yeah, it is called in flu season in their defense,
but there was a good handful of people in there.
This woman was so loud on her phone, and this
is a room full of miserable, sick people. I mean
you could see the people just they're stuffy, they can't breathe,

(44:13):
they're coughing. We all know what it's like. We all
know what we look like when you when you feel
like that. And here is this woman talking about some
other woman, and she's using words that I can't use
on here to describe this other woman. So eventually, people
who were, you know, sitting there with their eyes closed,

(44:33):
we all start kind of looking at each other like
are we really hearing what we're hearing? Is this really
happening in an open public space that she is using
these words? And there was about a ten year old
girl sitting there waiting to go in hearing these words.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Nothing's worse, And this has nothing to do with your coworker,
but nothing is worse. Like I was at a restaurant
a couple sun days ago restaurant bar, and I'm sitting
at a table behind the bar, you know, not you know,
behind the seats at the bar. Yeah, And a buddy
of mine and I we were sitting there and we're
getting something to eat, and there's a guy at the

(45:16):
bar on his phone face timing. Oh yeah, So not
only do I have to listen to him, I have
to hear who he's facetiming.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
This is the elevated version.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Yeah, And it's like it was like seven or eight minutes,
and I'm like, I wanted to say, dude, nobody wants
to hear your conversation or see your conversation. And like,
I'll see it. You can go to almost any store,
whether it be a grocery store, you know, like a
dollar store or whatever. There's somebody walking through the aisle
face timing. Now I get it. You're on your phone.

(45:48):
Hey do we need we need milk? Do we need
toilet paper? Do we need whatever?

Speaker 4 (45:53):
You know?

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Blah blah blah blah blah you call. Okay, I don't
have a problem with that, but when you're carrying on
a FaceTime conversation out in public, I just want to
throw your phone, you know, like take it in throat
and it's true rash.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Yeah, well, and that's like, okay, in a bar restaurant,
it's noisy, So do you want to hear the conversation.
Absolutely not. But it's not as distracting as when you
are in a work environment or you're in the waiting
room of a medical facility and they're using the vulgarity
these this terminology. That was where I was. I thought,

(46:28):
you've got to be kidding me. It was just it
was obnoxious, it was rude, it was uncalled for, and
she was absolutely one hundred percent oblivious. If it's to
everybody looking at it, if it's a quick phone call,
that's different.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
I don't have a problem with that. If I know
that I'm going to be on this call for a
few minutes, I get up and I go someplace where
there's nobody.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
Oh she was number called for twenty plus minutes.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Like I'd have gone outside if that would have been me, okay,
or I would have gone into the full yer maybe
if they were depending on how it's set up, but
I would have been I would have removed myself from
the people.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
And again, like I said, she was absolutely oblivious to
the fact that everybody is like given the side eye.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
It's because nobody has the cahun is to say to her, Hey,
nobody wants to hear your conversation, lady, because then the
next thing you know, she'll turn into a Karen and
she'll start chewing You're your end out.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Well, Nancy, I agree with you when when it comes
to personal information in the work environment, where everybody can hear,
nobody wants to listen to it. I want to hear
you fight with your husband or your wife or your kids.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
We talk about bloom Daddy because he leaves open packs
of pop tarts and crackers and cookies and sodas and
anything like he never he starts something and never finishes,
finishes it, and then he leaves it. There's a joke there,
but yeah, uh, but I mean, and it's like so

(47:55):
and then he leaves it out for us. So there
were the ones that has to either throw it away
or do whatever, Like just if you're either take it
home or throw it away, Like why would you open
up a six pack of crackers? Need one like that
just irritates the hell out.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
It's just wasteful, It's just it's it's wasteful. The other
thing is micromanaging.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
I'm turning my microphone, so I guess.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
That's not exactly in the same realm as annoying. Like
somebody who leaves the the the polar water tower and
the big jug empty. That's annoying. Somebody who uses the
last of the toilet paper in a shared bathroom and
they don't replace it, that's annoying. But micromanaging is not good.

(48:48):
It's not good management. It is not.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
In fact, what it does is it creates a rift
between the two.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Yeah, the two levels between the management and the workers beneath,
because it makes the workers who are replying or responding
to these these directives for management, it makes you feel
as if they think that you're not doing your job,
that you are not a responsible hard worker.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
And what's even worse is when when they try to
micro manage you from a distance. So like my supervisor
in my other job is one hundred and fifty miles away, right,
you know, how do you have You have no idea
what's going on in my area, And if there's something
big comes up, I'm going to let you know, but
don't tell me that I need to be doing this, this,

(49:42):
or this.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Yeah, you don't see me day to day. You do
not see my work ethic firsthand.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
And you know you had a situation where who knows
where that guy is? You know he could be five
hundred miles away.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Yeah, it's just it. It just doesn't create an environment
of trust. It makes you, as the worker feel like
you are not trusted. Yeah, and that's a terrible feeling.
It really, it really truly is.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
Well, you know, you know here I am, I'm fifty
eight years old. I've been doing this job for almost
ten years, well almost nine years, I'm sorry. And my
other job I've been doing for almost eighteen years. I
think I know what I'm doing in both situations. Now,
Do I make mistakes? Do I sometimes need to be
corrected because maybe I did something wrong? Absolutely? I don't
have a problem with that. Oh yeah, but I think

(50:30):
I at the time, like I think at some point
in time that I that I did the right thing
and maybe I didn't. Okay, that's fine. You want to
call me out on that, that's fine.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
Well, and here's the thing. We're all human. We're all
going to make mistakes. And if I am wrong and
I make a mistake, I will, I will own it.
I'll one hundred percent own it. Here's one, here's a
good one. Tom on Facebook says, I know it all
who actually knows? I can't. I can't say what he said,
absolutely nothing, And I.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
Bet you'd start with Jack Jack squat.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
There you go, that's the that's the cleaner version or
Jack's bit. Yeah. Yeah, So listen, if it annoys you,
the best thing to do is just walk away. They eventually,
if they are that annoying and they're not that good
of an employee, they will the situation will rectify itself,
you hope, hopefully, hopefully.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Well sometimes you know, the people that do that stuff
are also the the butt smoochers. Yeah, or they have
something on somebody and.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
You sit there and you go, can can they not
see who this person really is?

Speaker 5 (51:35):
Yeah? Like how does? How does everybody see it?

Speaker 4 (51:37):
But you?

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:39):
Yeah? Are you that blinded by the as you said,
the butt smooching?

Speaker 5 (51:46):
Yeah? I trust me, and I'm speaking firsthand, and we
all have them.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
That's the thing.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
You work in a in an office, and well not
even just an office, just a work environment in general.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
Well, you know, you hear some of the stories that
I tell you about the other job, and you know,
and some of the goings on there, and and you know,
when you have X amount of people in a region
and they're all like, there's an issue here and it's
never been addressed, then you have a problem.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
We don't have a problem.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
We have zero problems.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
We have a solution.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
We have ninety nine problems and money, well has it?
Now that's I forget how that goes. Oh I do
know how it goes. I'm not saying no.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Okay, reboot. How about some fun? How about more chances
to win? Yeah, we have tickets for tough Man four
pack one in hundred sixty two four eleven seventy caller
number nineteen. I'm gonna pick it this time one eight
hundred sixty four eleven seventy caller number nineteen four tickets

(52:46):
to tough Man. Valentine's Day Weekend, eight twenty eight. The
Bloom Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA.

(53:12):
Welcome Back, eight thirty six. The Blue Daddy Experience, News Radio,
eleven seventy WWVA. So listen. Sometimes they talk about we
brought up different studies and sometimes it's like it's a
waste of money, and it's kind of who really cares
about I don't know some of the most ridiculous studies
out there. This one, though, otis may perk you up

(53:33):
a little bit and many other men out there. Recent
study has found that men who do the mattress mambo,
if you will, for lack of a better description, at
minimum twice a week may be less likely to have
a heart attack. So there you go.

Speaker 5 (53:55):
It gives you an excuse to do it twice a week.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Just tell her, listen, you're keeping me healthy.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
Heart healthy. It's like eating cheerios. M you see that,
you know you got the be that swims on the
cheerios commercials and tell you how you know they got
the heart shaped cheerios. Yep, guess what I need to
do a little little push push for heart health.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Or you could be like my friend who her code
with her husband is it's time to save our marriage.
That's they that's the the alert of I like it. Yeah,
So there you have it, gentlemen, a little while you
don't need an insurance card, you don't need to go
visit the doctor.

Speaker 5 (54:36):
Well here's what you do. You say, honey, I need
to do it twice a week for heart health. And
if you are not a willing participant, I guess I
have to look elsewhere.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
I mean, come on, now, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
You're good with that? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (54:51):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
I don't know how the spouse's will be. The wives,
you know, sacrifices.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
Twice a week. That's it's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
But those are the nice day I don't have to cook.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
Listen, back in my college days, my heart was great.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
That's what it was all along for all of us.
It wasn't youth.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Yeah, I was worried about my heart health at a
young age.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
You were pre planning from.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
About seventeen sixteen seventeen on. I was worried about my health,
your heart health.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
You were pre planning. Oh god, okay, Well this woman
wasn't the let's take it. Let's let's take a twist here.
So I don't know if you've seen this story out
of Detroit, and I'm kind of torn on it. But
there's a woman. She says she's a rapper, she is
I don't know if she is or what she is.

(55:44):
Assuming a lift driver because the lift driver would not
provide the service the ride. He basically he said, you
know you, you won't fit in the car. It was
a city in a small car. And then she said,
oh no, no, I can make it fit. And he
was worried about his you know, blowing out his tires

(56:05):
and stuff, and did not provide her with the ride.

Speaker 5 (56:08):
So she is now, I don't care how big you are,
You're probably not blowing out somebody's tires.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
I didn't think. So this is not a small woman.

Speaker 5 (56:16):
Though I've seen the picture you have, I've seen I've
seen tiny, tiny houses smaller than hers.

Speaker 6 (56:23):
Good.

Speaker 5 (56:28):
You know, here's what I would have done. I would
have I would have tried to let her get in
the car, because if she doesn't fit, then she doesn't
have a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
But here, here's my question. When you're an uber driver
or a Lyft driver or whatever, is it your own personal,
personal vehicle? Correct?

Speaker 5 (56:43):
Absolutely, okay, so it should be, or you're using a
vehicle that it's it might be you know, your spouses
or yeah, your owner exactly okay.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
So the question here then is if it's his person,
if it's his vehicle or a family vehicle, maybe he
doesn't understand the strength of a tired worder. I mean,
he's not. I don't know this person. I'm sure playing
Devil's advocate. Maybe he is not. He doesn't want to
be offensive, but as far as he's concerned, that's his

(57:13):
income for his family.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
Yeah, you've seen the little micro cars. Yes, I think
they're Fiats or something like that. This lady that the
Fiat the micro car is smaller than she is, Like,
there's no way she's getting in that baby. I don't
know what kind of car he had.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
It just says sedan.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Yeah, so okay, that's a sedan, means it's a four door,
all right. So but I've been you know, listen, a
friend of mine drives a Ford Bronco for the State.
That's his state vehicle. I'm six foot two. One of
the guys that I work with, he's sixty three, sixty four.

(57:55):
We have a hard time getting into that vehicle because
it's it's not the sport version. It's a little bit smaller.
So like I was sitting in the back seat of
that Ford Bronco and was uncomfortable the whole time. And
that's nothing against the Bronco by any means. Yeah, but
it's just that my size in that Bronco in the
back seat didn't really work like I had to sit

(58:17):
with my legs crossed behind the driver who was a
shorter guy next to the next to the person working
with us, not the not the taller guy. But we
had a young individual with us, and my legs would
fall asleep because I had no I had no room,
no leg room in the back seat of that car.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
Well, and and again this goes back to if this gentleman,
this driver, this is his source of income. This is
like a taxi driver's taxi or you know, my laptop
is how I do a lot of my work. If
it is broken and taken away.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
You lose your income.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
You lose your income. So so I defend a guy
on that matter. Where I don't defend her is those
services when you use them, you can choose the type
of vehicle, so you can get a sedan or a.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
Well if you extra large, if you go to book,
if you go to book an uber, a lot of
times it'll it'll give you a choice. Sometimes it will
not all the time, so it'll say you can pick
this car for this price. You can pick an x
L exactly this price, or you can pick up a
bigger car for this price. And it's of course the
bigger the car, the bigger, the higher the price. But

(59:33):
it can be done.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
And that's what I was getting at is, Yeah, there
are choices and there are options. You know, she's trying
to save a few bucks. She doesn't want to pay
for the higher option. But in the same regards, if
you're not going to fit in and listen, nobody wants
to make somebody feel terrible. I don't think about their size,
their appearance.

Speaker 5 (59:52):
I don't think it was fatcyaming, no, no, I just
I think the guy was like, look, I don't think
you're going to fit in my car, number one. I
don't think you're going to becomemfortable, you know, And.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
How do you say that to somebody? Right, that's hard,
that's a tough.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
But if he let her attempt to get in and
she doesn't fit, then there's there's no story here. But
what I mean, what if she gets stuck, that's the
other thing. Then he's out. He could sue her for
lost wages.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Well, I mean, if she gets stuck and you know,
you're on a public street, that's more embarrassed to.

Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
Get the job. I mean, it's just bring the can open.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Yeah, how do you and listen. I I am not tiny.
I got curves and and you know, I'm not ashamed
of it. So I am not I am not judging
or fat shaming what this particular woman. But it comes
down to having the conversation and being realistic about the situation.

Speaker 5 (01:00:53):
And what's her lawsuit. I mean the fact that you know,
I mean that that he did not provide the ride.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
Yeah, I mean, I don't discrimination.

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
It's not discrimination. If I don't think you're good, I
can Look, I'm going to go in and I'm gonna say, look,
I didn't think she would fit. I didn't think she
would be comfortable. And how she's getting out, it's called
I got. My buddy had a little MG midget and
this is when I was like younger and in shape,
like in the nineties, eighties and nineties. He'd ride around.

(01:01:24):
We'd ride around in that thing, and it was fun
to ride around because it was a convertible. The whole works,
you know. But when I would get out, I would
literally have to roll out of the car onto my
hands and then crawl out that way because I could
not get my leg to go out the door. And
that's when I was young and in shape and had
decent hips. You know, I didn't have a broken hip.
I didn't have bad knees.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
Yeah, it's called it's called physics. Square peg, round hole exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
I mean, plain and simple. It just doesn't work. So
we'll see if this even makes it to a courtroom.
I doubt it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
If she's suinglyfted, they may settle out of court anyway,
just to be done with it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Move on and be done with it, all right, We're
gonna move on. Thirty eight special was up next, thirty

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
I love that, I mean I really really do love.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
Well you are a celebrity.

Speaker 4 (01:03:49):
Yeah yeah, hey, before we get into win bragging right, yeah,
bragging rights.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
Bragging rights, that's not that, got it?

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:04:01):
Well, speak of bragging rights. We are very close to
being able to brag again about Mountaineer Honda and Strive Honda.
They are currently battling for the number one spot right here.
Huh no, go ahead, Yeah, battling for the number one
spot to be the number one Honda dealer once again
in the entire state of West Virginia, unless some other

(01:04:23):
dealer throws up a Hail Mary today. Man, I think
one of these two guys is gonna have it. It's awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
Nice. You gotta love that when you're competing for one
and two.

Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
Yeah, I mean, it really is. Tool and the reason
why is because these guys work extremely hard to put
every deal together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
All right.

Speaker 6 (01:04:43):
If you're in the market for a Honda, I mean,
these guys, this is definitely the place to go. No
one's out selling them. We're taking every deal we can.
We love your trade ins, all right. We're paying more
for trades than anybody, as most people know in this market.
You know, we carry almost four hundre pre on cars
and trucks, and probably ninety five percent of those vehicles

(01:05:05):
our vehicles we traded for. We're not going to the
auction I mean we do every now and then just
to fill in some spots where we may have a
need or a customer has a desire for a unique
vehicle before ninety five percent of the vehicles that you
see out there on our website or vehicles that we've
traded for. We pride ourselves in that, all right, we
would much rather pay you all the money rather than

(01:05:27):
compete with someone else at an auction for a car
that we know very little about, because most of these
cars that we're trading for we're sold in the shrib
family of dealerships originally, So you're getting a car that
you know we've taken care of in service that we've
you know, we know the customers, we know how they're
taking care of and this is a great way for
you to buy a pre on car. And we you know,

(01:05:50):
again in the market for a Honda, we are all
out blowout on every handed deal possible. So come on
out today and experience it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
All right, You are you thinking about your Super Bowl picks?

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
I am no. We don't have to have my numbers by.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Noon on Super Bowl Sunday. I knew, but you, but you,
since you're a celebrity picker, you'll probably have to have
yours by next.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
Friday, Okay, I may I might tell you on Tuesday
it just seems like a good day.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
Okay, Sam's got a question for you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
No, I was just gonna I was just gonna bring
up that this might be if any Oh, am I on?

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
Oh there you go?

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
There we get there, am I there?

Speaker 6 (01:06:32):
Sam was lost?

Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
Oh there you go. So if you ever decide to
get out of the car business, there's a coffee company
looking for someone to travel and drink coffee for seventy
five thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
Oh there you go, buddy, I mean for both of
you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
That is just perfect, absolutely perfect task.

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Coffee all across the United States, and they'll pay you
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
Yes, yep, wow, drive around the US and drink coffee
and get paid seventy five K a year and health benefits.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
That sounds like, you know what, I think I might
take a leave of absence.

Speaker 6 (01:07:10):
I might go with you travel.

Speaker 5 (01:07:11):
That's fine. I'm with it. I'm good with that. I
don't think your wife would be happy, but I'm okay,
that's fine. She's fun road trip, road trip. Yeah, she's
a good time.

Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
That'd be'd be fun. That'd be fun.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
Yeah, all right, enjoy your weekend, right, I see it? Yeah,
coffee seventy five grand a year. I'm in.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Yeah, it's called Chameleon coffee.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
I'm probably I'm probably too old. They probably want somebody
younger because you probably have to vlog and do all
that social media.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
They want a hipster maybe.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
One person commented, I'll do it if they accept my wheelchair.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
That's pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
I could possibly do that.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
And I don't drink you don't drink coffee.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
I would figure out a way.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
That's like. That'd be like if the coffee wasn't very
good and you had to go around and drink it
and tell people that it was delicious. Yeah, that's the worst.
Would be the Cheers episode, where would he They hire
him to do a commercial for Veggie might or something
and he can't stand and he goes, oh I love it.
I love it, And he drinks it. He goes, I
hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
See, I couldn't if I don't want to eat something
or swallow something, I don't think I could fake it.
I don't think that I could. Uh, I never mind
changing the subject. Yes. So Randy, one of our celebrity
pickers for our Super Bowl game, says that his wife

(01:08:40):
is laughing because she doesn't think he's a celebrity.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
He's a celebrity. He was in here for Christmas karaoke.
That makes a celebrity exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
So in our eyes, Randy and missus Rand.

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
So instead of calling him a sponsor picker, we'll call
him a celebrity.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
It's just a term.

Speaker 5 (01:08:59):
Yes, yes, I don't know if it's not. It's it's
a title. It's not necessarily a It doesn't mean that,
like he's rock star status.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Yet and it's all about bragging, right, so's.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Local rock star status? Yeah, so cover band status.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Oh anyways, okay, here's did you know this? Did you
know Playboy has not been doing print issues?

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:09:24):
Oh, everything's been on. I don't I mean, I haven't
seen I probably haven't seen a Playboy in thirty years.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Well, they're coming back. The print issue is coming back
and it has its first cover model. Her name is
Lorie Harvey. I have no idea who she is. So
it returns to print with her on the cover and
it will come out February tenth, or you can pre order.
So there you have.

Speaker 5 (01:09:52):
Okay, there you have. Hey boy talked about that? Yeah,
well they after Hugh died, nobody talks about Layboy well,
that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
He is deceased, isn't he.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
Yeah, for about five or six years.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
Yeah, he was one of those guys that seemed like
we would never lose, like he.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
Would live forever. Yeah, just he had that suave.

Speaker 4 (01:10:10):
Yeah. Whatever happened to the mansion, somebody else bought it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:14):
I think it's in these kids, probably still there like
the sun, or.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
