The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam April 10, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
D number one Tuck Show in the Ohio Alley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain, and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on News Radio eleven SEVENTYWVA starts now the.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news Radio
eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hope you're doing well on your Thursday morning.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm gonna start with the weather update right now, and
I think the worst is behind us as far as
the attempts, because if you're like me, I am so
sick and tired of being cold.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I can't even stand it anymore. Long as we could stay.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Above fifty, I think we're going to be good to
go as far as the rest of the day. We're
going to see some rain, but it's going to clear out,
and like I said, just get up to fifty. That's
all I'm asking at this point in time. A couple
of political topics for you. First of all, Donald Trump
reversing course on the tariffs. You've got liberals and Democrats
out there saying, hey, look who flinched first. It was

(00:58):
the Trumpster that he had this big spine. He said
he was going to do this and that, and look
at him. He's putting a pause on all these tariffs
except for China. I think the way you've got to
look at it is this way. Seventy five countries reached
out wanting to talk to us about negotiating lower tariffs.
So if your President Trump, what you did has already worked,

(01:21):
so why continue in good faith?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Say okay, let's pause these tariffs.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You come to the table, let's hammer out something that's
going to work better for both of us, and let's
go from there. At the same time, he has isolated China,
which may have been his goal from the beginning.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I mean, we could sit here Monday morning, quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
We could sit here and think this, think that we
don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
And a lot of times with Trump, what you think.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
You're seeing is a distraction from what he's really trying
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I don't think he caved.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think the guy has a spine, and so do
obviously seventy five other countries who are willing now to
come to the table and talk and lower their tariffs
in response to what we are doing to them. And
as far as China, you talk to anybody. They're the
biggest manipulator, they're the biggest cheater, and all of a sudden,
they're out there on an island right now, and it's
about tom We took them on. Whether it's them with

(02:16):
cybersecurity and stealing secrets, manipulating the market, whatever they do,
somebody's got to stand up to China at some point
in time, and that's exactly what Trump is doing right
now with these tariffs.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now. On the flip side, there's a number of books coming.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Out by a lot of liberal commentators talking about Joe
Biden and how mentally a drift he was during his presidency.
You got to remember something, though, these are the same
individuals who covered for him during that presidency. I am
thoroughly convinced, and I think when these books come out

(02:51):
and you get all the details. One of them's by
Jake Tapper from CNN. He was one of the biggest
ones that defended Biden in the early going. When you
take a look at what they're gonna say, you're going
to realize that Joe Biden was gone probably a year
into his presidency. It wasn't at that final debate, it

(03:11):
wasn't in the third year. It was probably in the
beginning of his first term back in twenty twenty, twenty
twenty one. But the fact of the matter is, this
is one of the biggest conspiracies in American political history.
It might be the biggest one, or I should say
cover ups, because the people around him, they're going to say, well,
we thought he could still do the job.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
No, they didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
They knew he couldn't. The liberal media, they knew how
bad it was. You had a neurosurgeon visiting the White
House weekly for months, and they slept on it. You
had a president who couldn't even form sentences for years,
and they slept on it. This is going to go
down as one of the biggest cover ups in US

(03:53):
political history. And let's not forget this is the same
party who covered up his mental insufficiency, who's always pointing
the finger at the Republican Party and Trump saying that
they're a threat to democracy. They were the threat and
they still are the threat to democracy. You take a
look at the overreaction during COVID and what they did.
You take a look at the fact that they fired

(04:14):
people for not getting a COVID shot that was not
tested as thoroughly as other vaccines out there. You take
a look at the lives, they ruined, the businesses, they
shuddered because of COVID overreaction. They took total control and
they loved it, and they didn't care. And they did
the same thing with this president, this former president. They
knew he was mentally incapable, and they hit it. They

(04:38):
didn't report on it, they didn't sound the alarm. It
was only till after that debate when they figured out
he can't win that they threw him to the wolves.
I'm telling you, it's one of the biggest cover ups
in American political history. And then it begs the question,
who the hell was running the country the entire time

(04:58):
Biden was president. A lot of people will say it
was Joe Biden. I disagree. A lot of people will
say it was his right hand man, Ron Klain. I disagree.
If I had to lay money on it, I'm going
to say it's Hillary Clinton because Ron Klain, who was
his right hand man, was also the right hand man
to Bill Clinton back in the day. And I believe

(05:19):
somebody checked White House logs. Hillary Clinton called that White
House every damn day. You know her ego, You know
she wanted to be the first female president. You know
she's still stung by that loss to Trump in twenty sixteen.
I'm telling you, if I had to bet money as
to who was running this country during the Joe Biden presidency,

(05:39):
my money is on that witch, Hillary Frickin' Clinton.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
But I'm going to read a couple of these books,
but I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
It really exposes the mainstream media too for what they are,
and that is a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party.
They got him elected. They spread all the lives about Trump,
about Russian illusion. I mean, where's the evidence. Now, where's
Adam shiff with all this evidence that he was supposed
to be producing. They were complicit with the Democratic Party
in pushing lies on Trump, getting Joe Biden elected, and

(06:12):
then hiding the fact that this guy couldn't spell his
name and was sucking through a straw his evening dinner.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Absolutely pathetic.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
This is the bloom Daddy Experience on eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Back with more after this.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Seen. Thank you for tuning in. You're listening to the
bloom Daddy Experience. Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
I'm going to start off following bloom Daddy's commentary with
a giant, giant, giant we told you so, We told

(06:58):
you so, We told you so, We told you so.
And of course I'm talking about Biden's cognitive ability or
lack thereof during his administration. The fact that there are
now folks that was in his administration and the I
say this very loosely journalists who are now saying and

(07:26):
trying to profit off of their cover up is disgusting,
absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry. These people have no credibility, no credibility.
If they worked in that White House between twenty twenty

(07:46):
and twenty twenty four and they sat back and they
watched this happen. If they were a journalist who interviewed
the man who had very close access to see behind
the scenes of what was happening, and they pretended and
they played the game that nothing was wrong, you have

(08:07):
zero credibility, zero because blind dogs could tell watching the
television that that man was not all there.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
But here's the thing. Were they threatened if they reported it?
Were they threatened with losing their credentials and so on
and so forth. So I mean, did they play the
game to keep their position in the White House Press corps.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, okay, I get that.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm not saying that that's what happened. I'm just saying
I'm just playing Devil's advocate.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
You're right, But I would say this, My counter to
that would be, if you're a true journalist, you take
the short term hit, yep, and with all the access
that we have now between podcasts and online blogs and everything,
you do not have to fall under the moniker of
one of the big three or four networks. Let's say
as an example, So you could have taken that short

(09:02):
term hit, waited the four years, and then right now
come out and say this is why I was silenced,
and I'm going to tell you my story.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
But that's not what they do.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
No.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Well, I mean, look at the Russian collusion stories that
went on for three years from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen.
It was proven false, but yet the people that wrote
the articles in the papers got Pulatri prizes for false stories.
I mean, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, and the one thing the other side of this is,
you know, those like I said, those that are coming
out now and they are trying to profit off of
their cover up I'm sorry, this is illegal. There has
to be and I'm not a lawyer, there has to
be some sort of legality behind what There has to

(09:52):
be some sort of charges that could be brought against
them because the repercussions that our country is dealing with,
not only through the cover up of his mental acuity,
but also along with the repercussions of COVID and everything
else that those that were working behind the scenes, the puppeteers,

(10:13):
if you will, have put upon this nation, there has
to be some sort of legal ramifications for what they did.
What they did. Will we ever know the truth? I
don't know, but this will go down, honestly, and I
have one hundred percent agree with bloom Daddy as one

(10:34):
of the biggest, if not the biggest political cover up
in history. It blows out of the water JFK. It
blows out of the water Watergate. But the biggest thing
that I take away from this are those that are
now trying to profit off it when they honestly should
be having to hire an attorney if they were involved,

(10:58):
if they were there and they were part of it,
they should definitely be prosecuted somehow. Again, I'm not an attorney.
I don't know all the legal terminology, but something should
be done. Staying in the realm of politics, there's a
particular name that has or is attempting to become the

(11:20):
face of the Democratic Party. Her name is Jasmine Crockett.
I don't know if you saw the recent foot in
the mouth commentary that she made.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
This was in.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Regards to illegals and illegal immigration. But what is what
is funny is the fact that since the end of
the election she has put her face in front of
every camera she possibly can. While doing that, she has
stuck her foot in her mouth multiple times. The biggest

(11:57):
thing that caught my attention is where she consistently posts
election insinuates that those that voted for Trump are racists.
She doesn't straight out say it, but the insinuation is there, constantly, constantly. Well,

(12:25):
my question to Jasmine Crockett today is look in the
mirror because her recent commentary in regards to illegals and
illegal immigration. We done picking cotton, we are you can't

(12:46):
pay us enough to find a plantation. So what she
has said on multiple occasions is we need the illegals
in this country to do the jobs that nobody else
wants to do. They're the ones that should be on
the plantations.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
That's what they're here for.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
So, Miss Crockett, who's the racist, who is stereotyping? Who
is lumping together a minority of people in assuming that
their only qualifications or abilities is within the farming and

(13:35):
agriculture world. You are? Who is stereotyping an entire group
of people? You are, So it's time to take a
look in the mirror. Others need to speak up in

(13:57):
that party. Honestly, others need to speak up in that
party because if this is who they are letting become
the face, they've got big, big problems, big big problems.

(14:19):
And one of the other things, and back to the whole.
As the post election, she has also said that because
of the election, it's a prime example of why we
need DEI because once again we as a nation and
those Trump supporters could not vote for a female black candidate.

(14:45):
That means we're racist or those are you know, that's
that's a racial tendency that they can't accept or even
acknowledge or even consider voting for a black female I
disagree adamantly. We as people sat back and listened to

(15:10):
what Kamala Harris had to say, and it was nothing.
Voters sat back and said, this person is not qualified
for the position. Now are there some that, yes, her
gender and race factored into it. I am not going

(15:32):
to sit here and say that that was not a
factor for some people. I'm not going to say that
because was it. It may have been. Possibly, yes, I
do not know. For myself it had nothing to do
with it. I would venture to say for the majority
of people, it had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Well, you can also say for the same amount of
people that voted against her because of her gender and
her race, the same amount of people voted for her
because of her gender and her race.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
No, but I think the American people, Yeah, I think
the American people said this person is not qualified. Along
with the fact to tie it back to our original topic,
this person comes from the same administration that has been
hiding Joe Biden in the basement for years and has

(16:26):
lied to the American people about his mental state. So
do we want to continue for another four years? What
would be the same administration that we all knew was
lying to us.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
No?

Speaker 4 (16:45):
No, So stop playing the race card, stop playing the
DEI card, and open your eyes to the fact that
the American people are smarter than you want to admit
they are. Period seven twenty eight. When we return, we're
gonna talk a little bit of football, a little bit

(17:06):
of football. Did they really care about the players? We'll
find out seven twenty eight. You're listening to the bloom
Daddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Welcome back to the Bloomdaddy Experience at eleven seventy WWVA.
I want to hit on a sports topic right now,
and that is the NFL tinkering with an eighteen game schedule.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
What eighteen games?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
These guys retire now and they don't even remember the
name of their kids by the time they're forty eight
years old. In this league wants to add another game?
It is It is infathomable to me that this league,
which had to change its rules in order to limit
head injuries that are robbing former players of decades of life,

(18:02):
would consider adding another game. It shows you that all
they care about is money. They do not care about
the players. They do not care about their health. They
act like they do because they're getting sued to oblivion,
but they don't the physical and mental teror of playing
in the NFL is unbelievable. I mean, how many guys

(18:22):
have to blow their brains out, how many guys have
to die of CTE? How many guys have got to
walk around like zombies at the age of fifty three
from the constant battering of their heads in this game
before somebody says enough is enough. You think about the
defensive rules. You know, people complain, well, you can't hit

(18:43):
this way, you can't do this, you can't do that,
you can't hit a defenseless receiver. That is all because
if the game didn't change, then they were going to
be sued into bankruptcy. They were going to be sued
into a oblivion. They wanted to be able to say, well,
look what we're doing. You know, we're trying to protect

(19:04):
our players. We love our players. Do they really you're
gonna add another game to this? I take a look
at college football, the amount of games these guys play.
I mean, I saw a stat and it was probably
ten years ago about what the average collision in the
NFL is like. Now this is ten years ago, and

(19:25):
they said it was like a twenty five mile an
hour car crash. If you've ever been reranded or if
you've ever been in a car crash and you hit
something at twenty five, it is a hell of a
joelt that was ten years ago. These guys are bigger, stronger, faster.
Now take a look at TJ. Watt, Miles Garrett. You're
talking about guys that are that are what six' five

(19:45):
six y, six two hundred and ninety, pounds two hundred eighty,
pounds eight percent body, fat running four five forties colliding with.
PEOPLE i guarantee you the impact of that small car,
now if they they did an, analysis it would be
like a thirty five mile an hour or a forty
mile hour. Wreck And i'll tell you, anymore you let

(20:08):
your kid play, football you are taking such a. Risk
AND i know we are football crazy here in Southeastern,
ohio really the entire state Of. Ohio but what we
know now about all these head and packs and the
lasting effects of.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Them it's it's, very very.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Discouraging but back to THE, nfl how do you keep
adding games to the schedule and at the same time
say that you care for the.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Health of your. Players it's, money, money.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Money THE nfl used to own one day of the, Week,
Sunday now they own Three, Sunday, Monday. Thursday you could
probably even go more than. That this is a multi
billion dollar industry as it, is and they want to
keep adding to it because they're paying these players too.
Much salaries keep going, up and they need more and
more revenue because these billionaire, owners they love their. Money

(20:59):
they want another, billion and they could care less about
the health of these.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
GUYS i, Mean sam and, noticed it's it's a.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Shame it's a shame that they keep doing this Because
i'm telling, you this is not going to add to
the quality of THE. Nfl most quarterbacks don't even make
it through a season as it is, now most running
backs don't make it through a, season and we're gonna
add another. GAME i, mean how much sense does that?

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Make, yeah eighteen. GAMES i, mean, listen this this is
a money. Grab let's let's be one hundred percent up.
Front just Like Bloom dutty.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Said this is when they went to seventeen it was
a money.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Grab, yeah that's what this. Is and the other side
of this conversation is it's not only it has to
do with with THE tv. Networks so we've GOT, nbc
we HAVE, Cbs fox.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
IN, AC, ABC, espn For Monday.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Night you're, right and Then. Prime Now prime is involved
in THE nfl, network in THE nfl, Network so there's
there's five entities right there that the league is making
money off. Of they're selling them the rights to carry their.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Games AND i think there's another one coming in there as.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Well, well then there's the Whole YouTube, deal which was
formerly What direct had to.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Be carried The Super bowl this, year SO i, MEAN
i mean that's a that's a that to be Is,
fox but you still have to pay for.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
IT i think to b Is amazon An amazon.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
Product, Well fox had The Super, bowl so, OH i,
see So Fox fox oversaw the to be.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Broadcast here's the here's my problem with, this with with
this and the amount of games on multiple. Days thursday's a, Waste,
Yes thursday's a. Waste and here's the. Thing that was
one of the things that made football. Unique it Was
sunday and then it Was Sunday monday and that was.

(22:57):
It that was. It so it was must SEE tv On.
Sunday you gathered your, family you gathered your, friends and
that's what made football. Unique now it has gotten out
of control to the point where it should not feel
like an act test every week when you're trying to
figure out what game is on what, day with what,

(23:19):
teams what country they're playing, in what network they're playing,
on and what streaming service it's going to be.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
On, well the players Hate. Thursday, YEAH i mean they're
okay With, thursday like The thanksgiving because it's like that's a,
tradition especially In detroit And. Dallas they've added the third
game ON nbc or, whatever whoever carries That thursday later,
Evening amazon or whoever carries. That they've added that game for.

(23:47):
Revenue that's the only reason they've done. It because you
have a twelve thirty, game usually one, o'clock BUT i
think On thanksgiving it to twelve thirty game because they
treat it like a Super. Bowl the halftime's extended and
there's a big pregame, thing and that happens in Both
detroit And. Dallas so the game goes a little longer
because of that longer. Halftime so then you, know so

(24:07):
you have twelve thirty and it's either three thirty or four,
o'clock and then you have now you have the eight o'clock.
Game it's just it's too. MUCH i, mean it's Over.
SATURDAY i, mean you think THE, nfl And i've made
this comment, before THE nfl has tried to is trying
to be relevant twelve months out of the. Year, okay

(24:29):
so how do they do. It they have pre season In,
august maybe the end Of, july depending on because The
hall Of Fame game is normally like the last weekend In.
July so you have The hall Of Fame game In,
july you have preseason In, august you have the regular
season In, september starting In september the Super, bowl and
that runs all the way To february the Super. Bowl
so now You're, July, August, September, October, November, December, January.

(24:52):
February that's eight. Months then you have the. Draft well,
no then Then march you have the. Combines april you
have the. Draft june you have the. Workouts july you're

mean he gets credit for being in THE. Nfl the whole.
WORKS i, mean you're a. Genius, yeah and why take

well and then there's the other like they made them
almost like The. Minecraft uh, yeah the players were actually, animated,

(29:38):
yes but it was. Live it's almost.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Like they put it over top the.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Players, NO i mean it basically it was the. Play it.
Was it was delayed maybe like thirty, seconds but it
was the actual plays and and the and the the
the actual players became cartoon. CHARACTERS i think. That WELL
i had something to do with toy. Story oh, SEE i. Don't,
yeah it's tough to do with so. That the yard
marker was the slinky. Dog, YEAH i mean it was

(30:05):
actually kind of neat how they did.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
It, yeah that's.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Funny BUT i was, like get them when they're. Young
well that's what they want to. Do they're introducing to
the younger.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Kids get them when they're. Young, well because the younger
generation there's a lot more sports at their fingertips than
twenty thirty years. Ago think about. It there's, lacrosse there's.
Soccer there is trying to think is a swimming is
getting more prevalent in the younger. Demographics so that pool

(30:33):
of young football players is kind of being impacted by
the more offerings of sports for the younger for the
younger generation, now so they've got to get, Them they've
got to get them even. Younger SO i wanted to
get your thoughts on this. One otis parents and.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Kids listen.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
There we've talked many times about the responsibility of, parents
should they be, charged for, example for something that their
underage child. Does we talk about parents and. SPORTS i
posted a video yesterday of a baseball game and then
parents are screaming in the. Background so this is an

(31:11):
interesting take on.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
This there was a.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Father this is out Of, Chattanooga. Tennessee there's a father
who is now facing charges after his thirteen year old
son drove him home while in possession of. Drugs so
the thirteen year old drove home the. Father so this
report is that reporting the gentleman's name Is, Michael we'll

(31:35):
Say pantanges allegedly admitted to Police friday night he had
been smoking with Friends i'm assuming the ganja if you,
will when he asked his son to drive him, Home
so basically he was under the influence and instead of driving,
himself which is a good, decision he asked his thirteen

(31:57):
year old son to drive him. Home officers found the, mayor, marijuana,
fentanyl AND's noloxe owe inside the. Car he is now
charged with driving under the, influence reckless, driving and other
drug traffic. Violations betten there done, That, Okay so you
do not with?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Drugs not with.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Drugs i'll be the first. Person i'm not gonna SAY
i was not.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Drugs but you do have a perspective on.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
THIS i.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
DO i made some bad. Choices about thirty years. AGO
i took my THEN i think thirteen or fourteen year
old cousin with me to See Jimmy. Buffett and it's
sort of been early, nineties so ninety one ninety, two
and my cousin's nine years younger than, me AND i

(32:47):
got a little inebriated At Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Buffett you Enjoyed.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
MARGARITAVILLE i, did.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
OKAY i realized THAT i was not capable of. Driving,
okay and so my, cousin who was third teen or
fourteen at the, time drove home From Starla ampitheater back
To wheeling to his, house and THEN i from his.
HOUSE i made it to my. House very bad, decision

(33:12):
but It i've lived. At it was better than me.
Driving let's put it that. Way now here's the. Thing
HAD i been had we been pulled, OVER i would
have been cited for A dui for letting him drive
BECAUSE i was. Not He first, off he didn't have
a license it so second and second of, all you,
know even if he did have, it like if if
somebody is driving with the learners permit and you're you're

(33:37):
letting him, drive you're supposed to be capable, of you,
know helping them out. Driving AND i was not capable
of pretty much anything THAT i, MEAN i can laugh
about it because it's thirty years. Ago at the, time
it was really a stupid. Decision, well, okay of course
my cousin loved, it and let's let's do.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
It just you, know thirty years, ago the things that
are available to people, today like The ubers of the
worlds and the lifts didn't.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Exist well you. Can't don't think you can leave your
vehicle at. Started, yeah So i'd had to get. Somewhere.

if you're like, ME i am so sick and tired
of being.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
COLD i can't even stand it.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Anymore long as we could stay above, FIFTY i think
we're going to be good to go as far as
the rest of the. Day we're going to see some,
rain but it's going to clear, out and LIKE i,
said just get up to. Fifty that's All i'm asking
at this point in. TIME a couple of political topics for.
You first of, All Donald trump reversing course on the.
Tariffs you've got liberals And democrats out there, saying, hey

(35:50):
look who flinched. First it was The. Trumpster he said
he had this big. Spine he said he was going
to do this and, that and look at. Him he's
putting a pause on all these tariffs except For.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
China.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
YEAH i think the way you've got to look at
it is this. Way seventy five countries reached out wanting
to talk to us about negotiating lower. Tariffs so if
Your President, trump what you did has already, worked so
why continue in good? Faith say, okay let's pause these.
Tariffs you come to the, table let's hammer out something

(36:23):
that's going.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
To work better for both of, us and let's go from.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
There at the same, time he has Isolated, china which
may have been his goal from the.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
BEGINNING i, mean we could sit Here monday, Morning.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Quarterback we could sit here and think, this think that
we don't know what's going on behind the.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Scenes and a lot of times With, trump what you think.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
You're seeing is a distraction from what he's really trying to.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
DO i don't think he. CAVED i think the.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Guy has a, spine and so do obviously seventy five
other countries who are willing now to come to the
table and talk and lower their tariffs in response to
what we are doing to, them or As. China you
talk to, anybody they're the biggest, manipulator they're the biggest,
Cheater and all of a, sudden they're out there on
an island right, now and it's.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
About Tom we took them.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
On whether it's them with cybersecurity and stealing, secrets manipulating the,
market whatever they, Do somebody's got to stand up To
china at some point in, time and that's exactly What
trump is doing right now with these. Tariffs now on
the flip, side there's a number of books coming out
by a lot of liberal commentators talking About Joe biden

(37:31):
and how mentally a drift he was during his. Presidency
you got to remember, something, Though these are the same
individuals who covered for him during that. PRESIDENCY i am thoroughly,
convinced AND i think when these books come out and
you get all the. Details one of them's By Jake
tapper FROM. Cnn he was one of the biggest ones
that Defended biden in the early. GOING i think when

(37:54):
you take a look at what they're going to, say
you're going to realize That Joe biden was gone probably
a year into his. Presidency it wasn't at that final,
debate it wasn't in the third. Year it was probably
in the beginning of his first term back in twenty,
twenty twenty twenty. One but the fact of the matter,

(38:14):
is this is one of the biggest conspiracies In american political.
History it might be the biggest, one OR i should
say cover, ups because the people around, him they're going to, say,
well we thought he could still do the.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Job, no they. Didn't they knew he.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Couldn't the liberal, media they knew how bad it. Was
you had a neurosurgeon visiting The White house weekly for,
months and they slept on. It you had a president
who couldn't even form sentences for, years and they slept on.
It this is going to go down as one of
the biggest cover ups IN us political. History and let's

(38:49):
not forget this is the same party who covered up
his mental, insufficiency who's always pointing the finger at The
Republican party And trump saying that they're a threat to.
Democracy they were the threat and they still are the
threat to. Democracy you take a look at the overreaction
DURING covid and what they. Did you take a look
at the fact that they fired people for not getting

(39:09):
A covid shot that was not tested as thoroughly as
other vaccines out. There you take a look at the
lives they, ruined the businesses they shuddered because OF covid.
Overreaction they took total control and they loved it and
they didn't. Care and they did the same thing with this,
president this former. President they knew he was mentally, incapable

(39:30):
and they hit.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
It they didn't report on, it they didn't sound the.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Alarm it was only till after that debate when they
figured out he can't win that they.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Threw him to the.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Wolves i'm telling, you it's one of the biggest cover
ups In american political. History and then it begs the,
question who the hell was running the country the entire
Time biden was.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
PRESIDENT a lot of people will say it Was Joe.
BIDEN i.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
DISAGREE a lot of people will say it was his
right hand, Man Ron.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
KLAIN i.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Disagree IF i had to lay money on, It i'm
going to say It's Hillary clinton because Ron, klain who
was his right hand, man was also the right hand
man To Bill clinton.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Back in the.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Day AND i believe somebody Checked White house. Logs Hillary
clinton called That White house every damn. Day you know her,
ego you know she wanted to be the first female.
President you know she's still stung by that loss To
trump in twenty. Sixteen i'm telling, you IF i had
to bet money as to who was running this country
during The Joe biden. Presidency my money is on that,

(40:35):
Witch Hillary Frickin'.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Clinton But i'm going to read a couple of these,
books But i'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
What it really exposes the mainstream media too for what they,
are and that is a propaganda arm for The Democratic.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Party they got him.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Elected they spread all the lies About trump About russian.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
COLLUSION i, mean where's the.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Evidence, now Where's adam shiff with all this evidence that
he was supposed to be. Producing they were complicit with
The Democratic party in pushing lies On, trump Getting Joe biden,
elected and then hiding the fact that this guy couldn't
spell his name and was sucking through a straw his evening.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Dinner absolutely.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Pathetic this is the Bloom Daddy experience on eleven SEVENTY.
Wwva back with more after.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
This welcome Mag it's eight Eighteen the Bloom Daddy Experience
otis And Sam News radio eleven SEVENTY. Wwva despite what
you see outside your windows this, morning spring is. COMING i,
SWEAR i swear to you it's. Coming and with, spring

(41:44):
it is time to talk. Baseball so joining us in the,
studio we Have Tony, bucelli a general manager of The
washington Wild things along with sponsor of the Wild, Things
rick von Of belmont Brew. Works good, morning. Gentlemen, Morning
so let's get into. This the Wild things remind everybody

(42:09):
when they came To.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
Washington, yeah so it's really a crazy. Story. NOW i,
mean we started in two thousand and, two and what
are we, now twenty three? Years i've been there for
thirteen of. Them crazy. ENOUGH i started WHEN i was twenty,
three twenty two, There but, YEAH i mean it came
as a originally as a supposed to be a minor

(42:32):
league team of an affiliated, club and a lot of,
politics a lot of people involved in the way that
ended up falling, through and after the stadium was being,
constructed it was, okay how we're going to utilize the?
Venue how is it gonna who's going to be the major?
Tenant and we were connected with The Frontier league at
that time and went kind of the route of what

(42:54):
was originally independent, Baseball and obviously that on the minor
league level is a is a learning curve of what
this area is of being such a heavy pro sports.
Town so, yeah from, THERE i mean we've we're now
a major league partner Of Major League, baseball so we're
recognized more on the scope of kind, of, hey this

(43:19):
is high level. BASEBALL i have first round or second
rounders a lot of. It we have four guys in
the big leagues right now that have kind of climbed the.
Ladder so it's been a really crazy journey a lot of.
People usually the first thing people say, is, hey twenty three.
Years it seems like it was just yesterday that it
was going.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
On and that's WHAT i thought when you said.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
That, yeah, yeah that's HOW i feel that my thirteen
years have. Went and but it's. GREAT i mean right
now where we're at a really cool point for the
organization where we're at the third generation of somebody who
was seven eight years old went to their first game
with their, grandpa and now they're at an age where
they're having kids and they can tell the story to their.

(43:58):
Kid this is WHERE i went to my FIRST bla
baseball game with my, grandpa and now they're be able
to pass along that, lineage that memory making stuff to their.
Kids so it's cool to kind of see that generational.
Growth AND i still talk to people around my age that, say,
HEY i still have that baseball from that first. GAME
i went to with my grandma and grandpa and they
would we had ice cream like those cool. Things that

(44:20):
memory building stuff is key to. Us that's why we
do what we, do memory making when baseball, games that's
what we. Prioritize so it's.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Cool, well and that's.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
One of the best things about baseball is the nostalgia
that is tied to. It like you, said everybody has
a story of going to their first. Game i've told
my story WHERE i remember on my family, farm sitting
on the front porch in my grandparents'. House my grandmother
was an Avid pirates fan and this was during The
van Sl like Era Bobby bonia and listening to it

(44:49):
on the. Radio so it, all you, know ties. Together
so after twenty three, years The Wild things is doing something,
right absolutely doing something. Right and last Year division champs
about doing it.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Right, YEAH i mean winning is number one to, us
and all of our, efforts all of our focus is into.
THAT i, mean certainly we're not going to ignore the
customer service side of it and the entertainment side of
it or the memory making side of. It me, Personally
i'm a baseball. Person that's WHY i got involved with.
IT i do all the player, signings transactions like that's
WHERE i cut my teeth to those on the scouting.
Side and so for, Me i've only been involved this

(45:24):
long BECAUSE i want to. WIN i love going out.
There i'm super, competitive and that's the easiest way for
us to communicate who we are and what we do, Is,
hey we're winning. Baseball we want to go out, there
AND i think we're like three of the last four
division titles been in the championship. Series that's the most
important thing of, us AND i think that's what galvanizes the,
community just that energy at the. Ballpark it's something you can't.

(45:48):
Replicate and certainly they're like you mentioned about kind of
what the sport does in terms of allowing the memories
to be. Created it's not, crazy crazy constant, action but
it's not like another sport where you have fifteen minutes
between a hockey period and it's completed. Downtime the game

(46:08):
has as ebbs and flows where there's still, action there's
still grabbing your, attention but you also have the in
between pitches that turn the mom and dad and say
hey why is this going? On or, hey look there's your,
friend or this song comes on and it just kind
of creates that memory. Stuff SO i think it's very
unique of the sport of compared to anything else that

(46:29):
it has it ebbs and, flows but you're still able
to build that nostalgic memories that last the.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Lifetime, well and for those who want to build, memories
just a little heads up coming up here. Shortly our
friends here brought us some, tickets so we'll be doing
that here a little bit. Shortly wanted to give you
a heads. Up pay attention for. That but one THING
i want to, SAY i think The Wild things has
done a great job at is despite the state, lines

(46:56):
The Wild things has made themselves a very big part
of our. Community and that's where we bring In rick
to this conversation With belmont Brew, works where across the,
river you've made it a point to team up With
belmont Brew. Works correct and tell me how that's all.

Speaker 7 (47:12):
Working, YEAH i mean all these telling on my side
and Get rick, involved because obviously he's a staple here
in the. Community so for, us people are always, shocked
or it shouldn't be, shocked but it's always interesting to
kind of tell and teach people. This The Hio valley
to us is Beside washington And, cannonsburg like in our little.

(47:32):
Backyard The Hio valley is our third biggest, drawer The wheeling,
community The Belmont county, community the Whole Ohio valley as a.
Region they come, out they really accept our organization of
what we. Do the family focused thing is a big.
Thing the community tie. IN i mean the amount of
elementary SCHOOLS i work with in this, area or middle

(47:54):
schools or teachers or nonprofits that we can really help
emphasize and. Support it's a big it's it's a give and.
Take THAT'S i think our biggest thing that we try to.
Do we're not there looking to take and just sit
back and say come to, us come to. Us we
want to be active community. Partners we go, out we
send our mask out everywhere humanly. Possible the memory those

(48:15):
those kids going crazy for that that those are very
important things that we try to, do and we don't
just sit back and expect. It it's a lot of
it's a lot of effort and work on our. Side
and that was why we wanted to Get rick, involved
and we were really happy to build a relationship and the.
Partnership it's it's certainly beyond even just. Business it's. People
it's it's rooted organizations in the community trying to get

(48:39):
back and trying to. Support so when WE'RE i, mean
we're happy to announce this year that we're going to
be locally presented By belmont Brew works And rick and
certainly a nice way for us to kind of bring
the region, together and certainly with his role in the
community and what he does just same. Thing there's a
lot of mered things that we value of the customer,

(48:59):
serves the attention to, detail delivering on high. EXPECTATIONS i,
Mean i've been in that place a handful of, times
and every time you go, there the bar keeps. Raising
and that's something that we try to do as an.
Organization and you can probably speak to kind of how
much of a personal tie and importance it has, you
what brought you on?

Speaker 8 (49:16):
Board Rick, Well over the last couple of, Years i've
been trying to Get wheeling And Eastern ohio to not
be so. Apart we're divided by a, river not an.
Ocean we're seven minutes away From. WHEELING a lot of
our charity stuff that comes From bellmont Brow, works it Involves,
wheeling it Involves, pennsylvania it Involves. Ohio there's no need

two states away from The washington Wild, things you, think you,
know it's twenty eight miles and that's. It and we're
so proud to be a sponsor of. Them like you,

we just don't want to sponsor somebody or be a
sponsor for somebody.

go as far north As Quebec, City. Quebec SO i

(54:36):
mean we're the biggest league in the. COUNTRY i, think,
yeah eighteen is the right. Number as the caffeine slowly
hits my brain AND i know it, does yeah, seriously
and so, yeah it's it's been able to grow and it's. Better,
Honestly i've worked In Major League. BASEBALL i worked for
The Texas rangers in twenty. Fourteen the freedom that we

(54:56):
have of not being an affiliated club is so much
better for the fan experience in the. Organization we can
do so much without the restrictions and the guidelines and
really kind of push the envelope of having fun and
the memory making stuff that there's there's too many parameters
WITH mlb.

Speaker 5 (55:13):
Being minor league and being you, know small small. Town,
YEAH i, mean let's be. Honest, sure and you said
you expanded. Date you, know there's so you're going to
seventeen different. Cities, now is our travel expense is an
issue with YOUR i, mean like does? It does? It com,
mean obviously it comes into. Play, SURE i, Mean i'm
sure you can bust to certain, places but then you

(55:35):
probably had to fly To.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
No we bus.

Speaker 7 (55:37):
Everywhere, Man we're we're doing minor league baseball. Life like
that's regardless of what. Level until you get trip, away
you're driving. Everywhere so we ride. Buses we'll do the
furthest one Is Quebec. CITY i think it's like sixteen
HOURS i. FLY i pull rank on. That, Boy i'm
not riding a bus that. Long, Yeah but minor league,

(55:57):
baseball that's the. Thing and that's what, PEOPLE i don't
think understand because this is such a heavy pro sports
region of understanding what minor league sports are and the
education of it is one thing THAT i tried to
do a lot of BECAUSE i didn't KNOW i was From,
pittsburgh so it Was Steelers penguins like that was. It
that's ALL i knew was sports UNTIL i started work
in minor league, baseball and you see kind of what goes.

(56:19):
On and really the talent, LEVEL i think is one
thing THAT i always try to. EDUCATE i, MEAN i have.
GUYS i had a guy last year throwing one hundred
miles an hour with me and he's now in double
way with The. Mets so these, guys talent, wise the
margins are so small to make it to, affiliated let.
Alone people don't even understand and. Realize in the minor

(56:39):
league systems there's so many, players only five percent of
them make the big. Leagues so you're seeing on a
major league ross or whether it's the team From cleveland
will go there or The pirates or The, reds you're
seeing the five percent that actually make. It there's ninety
five percent of these guys that are in the minor
leagues that either play out their, contract they get, released

(57:01):
they get, hurt and they never get the. Opportunity so
you're talking the one, percent the one, percent the one
percent all the way through high, school, college, pro minor,
leagues all this stuff that they have to. Overcome but
the caliber play that we try to put on is very.
Important it's certainly very high. Level you'll see guys ninety,
five ninety. SIX i got guys who hit thirty home
runs a. Year so the winning and the winning and

(57:26):
the level will play minor league, baseball it's such an.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
Education do you ever find do YOU i, mean, like
do you have open tryouts to where like you, know
it's maybe somebody that you don't, see but maybe maybe
somebody that was you, know maybe small college or something
like that that maybe was local and didn't get the.
Exposure but they think that they have what it. TAKES i,
mean like they can they come to you or can
they they set up a tryout.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
Or, Yeah so what goes? On we've our league hosts
a annual tryout every year at different. BALLPARKS i think
years roll, by BUT i think last year we had
it at our, place and this year it's In, chicago
so IT'S i, mean there'll be about three hundred kids
from across the, country across the. World you Have dominicans,
There you'll have guys From mexico come, in And california
and any. Coast they'll flood in for this. Tryout AND

(58:13):
i think about every year about forty guys get drafted
and signed out of, that and there's certainly great stories
out of. THAT i, Mean i've had guys who've Won
rookie of The year out of. It i've had guys
who we've selected and they end up getting signed by
an affiliated Club and a kid was in The oriels
up to The TRIPLE a last year with, them so
really cool. Things there's definitely guys who get. Overlooked there's
definitely guys who slipped through the cracks.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
If they missed the tryout In, chicago, though can they
BE i.

Speaker 7 (58:39):
Mean they can TRY i, MEAN i mean the hard
thing with us is. Timing it's not like we're an
affiliated club WHERE i can stash forty guys and wheeling
and say, hey go out here and play and WHEN
i need, You i'll call. You my things are very
spur of the. MOMENT i might not have a need for.
Anybody one pitch, changes a guy gets, hit hit in the,
hand breaks his. Hand all of a, Sudden i'm there

(59:01):
at the ballpark that night when the guy gets, hurt
on the phone with agents or players trying to get
Somebod hey can you be here? Tomorrow can you be
here in two? Days so it's it's a very unique
market that we're in looking for the, active high level
participants versus kind of the hierarchy of what you're used
to of minor league, baseball of hey we'll just pull
this guy. UP i got nowhere to pull any. Guy

(59:22):
i'm pulling guys off the. Streets so it's interesting of
having them always in the go and in pro playing.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
Shape so when is opening?

Speaker 7 (59:31):
Night opening night.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
For us Is.

Speaker 7 (59:32):
May, oh, geez you're putting On may, Thirteenth may, THIRTEENTH
i think It's. Tuesday, yeah so we're opening on A.
Tuesday it should be a, great great. Crowd it'll be
kind of a big party for us with the new
name of the ballpark and the new. Turf we've got
brand new turf now this year got, replaced so it's
going to be a new, look new type of. Energy

(59:53):
people are coming off the high the energy of what
we did last year of. Winning we have probably half
of my roster returning from A Championship series, team so
should be a very good squad. Again and, yeah, usually
LIKE i, said, hey ANYTIME i can message say, hey
we're out there winning, games winning, divisions people come.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Out.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Well the nice thing about the wild things in the
stadium and everything about it Is number, one it's. Affordable number,
two there's not a bad seat in the. Place it's family.
Friendly there's so many positives to it that you're on
top of. Everything my son was fortunate enough he get
to play some games there in Wild Things parked when
he was in high, school in travel ball and stuff like,

(01:00:35):
that and you, know it's a great.

Speaker 7 (01:00:37):
Facility we always have the questions on the phone or
at the box, office where do you? RECOMMEND i, said in, like, anyway,
honestly you're one hundred feet from the, field, like there's
no far. Seat and yet the affordability is something THAT
i absolutely fight for AND i pound on the table
for BECAUSE i see what other sports organizations are.

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
Charging it's not fifteen dollars a, beer not eight dollars
for a.

Speaker 7 (01:01:01):
Hot, no, no, NO i MEAN i do every opportunity
to break Down, barris especially for. Families for, families they
have an opportunity to bring the kids out to a
game and not to walk away spending two hundred, Dollars
and that's that's a big. Thing so IF i can
get a kid a free, ticket IF i can pump
out dollar, beers dollar hot. Dogs that's that's HOW i
feel the game in sports in, general were probably created

(01:01:23):
hundreds of years. Ago was that to be something that
bring people together at Affordable now it's all haves and have,
nots and And i'm a big proponent fighting against. THAT
i don't think that's what the games were designed. As
and IF i can kind of find ways to maneuver
it to get people at the, ballpark you don't HAVE
i don't not everybody needs to be a baseball. Fan
that's certainly WHERE i don't.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
Fight it's about having fun and spending time with. Family,
Absolutely and just real quick before before we wrap this, Up,
