Indeed number one talk show in the Ohio Valley. This

goal in form, entertain and tick people off. The bloom
Daddy Experience on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA starts now.

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

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Good Wednesday morning too.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
And I'm not going to mention one thing about the weather, Okay,
just one thing. How about that win yesterday in crazy
crazy weather in Ohio Valley. I'm in one spot. It's
hailing and raining. I literally drive maybe not even a mile.
Sun's out in blue skies. April is absolutely nuts and
I can't wait until it's over. You've been following that

(00:48):
saga in college football at the University of Tennessee. This
is a program that made the college football playoffs last year.
Of course, got steamrolled by Ohio State. Their quarterback Nico
and you can try to pronounce his last name, because
I butcher it every time, tried to hold the school
hostage all over nil money. Now, thankfully the school told
him to hit the road. But this is what you're

(01:09):
gonna see more and more of in college sports until
the NCAA mandates that these kids signed contracts, and I'm
gonna explain why that needs to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So this quarterback, I.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Believe he was getting one point five million dollars in
an IL money as the quarterback of Tennessee. Somebody got
in his head, his dad, whoever it may be, and said, hey, listen,
go to them and tell him you want three million,
and if they're not gonna give it to you, you're
not going to practice. So he held out of practice,
said he wanted three million dollars. The transfer portal I

(01:41):
believe opens up tomorrow or maybe here within the next week,
because there's two different times during the year that the
portal opens up, and he basically said, you either pay
me or I'm gonna leave. Tennessee thought it over and said,
don't let the door hitch in the ass, which is
exactly what they needed to do.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
But now take a look at the position tennesseeason.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
They're gonna get ready to go into the next season
without their starting quarterback.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And even though the transfer portal is opening.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Up here soon, most teams have already solidified their guys,
meaning there's not going to be as much movement in
this portal as there is the next one. So he
really left Tennessee high and dry. He forced their hand,
and as I said, I think they made the right
decision because I would do the same damn thing. But

(02:32):
this is where we are in college athletics. You've got
nothing but mercenaries. They're going to be holding schools hostage
to try to get the most money they could possibly get.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
So the days of man I.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
As a kid, I always wanted to play for Tennessee
or Ohio State or Oklahoma Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Those days are gone.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Those kids might go there initially, but as soon as
somebody dangles a lot of money in front of their
face or the opportunity is there, they're not going to
care about tradition. They're not going to care about anything.
I mean, I just witnessed it in college baseball. Wright
State played Youngstown State the other day. Nine scouts. I
think I told you about this last week. Nine scouts

(03:12):
in attendance for the youngtoun State pitcher. This guy topped
out at ninety eight. He was sitting at ninety six.
Last year he pitched for the University of Kansas. So
the question is how when the hell does somebody go
from the University of Kansas to Youngstown in Division one baseball.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
The answer is he's getting paid.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
There was another guy on the team from Seattle, Washington,
played for the Washington Huskies last year. He's playing for
Youngstown State scouts where they're looking at him too.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
He's getting paid.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I found out that young Sound State the athletic department
was given a bunch of money by a donor, and
they're paying their athletes. So you've got two guys. They
might have the pitcher may have grown up in Kansas,
always wanted to play for the Jayhawks. Well, flash some money,
I'll go to Youngstown. I mean, I don't know about you,
but Young Sound's not on my destination chart. Nothing against Youngstown,

(04:05):
but you pay these guys enough money, they're gonna go.
College sports has become nothing but mercenaries, and I feel
bad for my kids. I feel bad for your kids,
whether it's college sports or pro I mean, you think
about back when we were kids, you could name everybody
on the team going into the following year. You knew
who was coming back, you knew who you had, You

(04:25):
really got attached to players. Now, I mean, these guys
are rooting for a brand. It's pretty much it you're
rooting for the brand of the Steelers or you're rooting
for the brand of Ohio State. You're just rooting for
a brand. Because most of these guys are gonna come in,
they're not gonna be there very long, and they're gonna
leave as soon as somebody floats some money in their face.
The NCAA is asleep at the wheel. They've been asleep

(04:48):
at the wheel. They're more worried about some guys stealing
hand signs that are in full view of everybody to
see in a stadium than they are about regulating a
sport or sports that have got and out of control
because of money. And it's only gonna get worse. I
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this one.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, I think he's absolutely right. Uh, the NCAA has
dropped the ball here. They're more worried about little things
than they are the big things. They're not looking at
the big picture on different things. And I said this
during the college football playoff. Eventually, what's gonna happen. The
rich are gonna get richer because they're the ones that

(05:29):
have the money. They're the ones that are gonna be
able to go out and get the best players. And
until you put until you put some sort of a
regulation on it, whether it be a cap or whether
it be a contract or whether no matter what it is,
the teams that are gonna be at the top of
the list are gonna be the same eight to ten
teams every year. It's gonna be Notre Dame, it's gonna

(05:50):
be a highest state. It's gonna be the ones that
have the big, the big alumni that are gonna Alabama
that's they're gonna be in there, Georgia is gonna be
in there, Florida's gonna be in there. Anybody that has
a big alumni base with tons of money that they're
going to be competitive because they're going to be they're
the ones that are going to have the money. And
you know, it's just Nick Saban get out of football

(06:12):
because of this, Jay Wright get out of college basketball
because of this, Roy Williams, Mike Skryzhevski, they get. For granted,
they were getting a little long in the tooth and they.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Probably those are established.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
But they stepped aside probably before they wanted to, because
they don't want to deal with this n I L
and they don't want to deal with the transfer portal.
It's it's a joke.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Well, and let's be honest, what Nico did here is
sort of a cautionary tale because now I understand what
you're probably going to say. I'm just guestimating what your
response to this is going to be. But for three
million dollars, he probably dropped or sunk his draft stock.

(07:00):
Disagree because NFL teams, leadership, owners, GMS scouts, when they're
sitting there on draft night and it's between him and
one other quarterback, they're gonna look at things like this
and they're gonna say, Okay, is he a team player?
Does did this action reflect who we want in a

(07:20):
leadership role on our team? Who is looking out for
the entire team, not just for himself?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
What was this thatat that they showed that Nico if
he if they would, if Tennessee would have given in
to him, he would have made more money than brock
Party who's playing in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
And that's the other side of it. For a short
term three million dollars, how much future money did he
lose for three million? Did he possibly lose twenty five?
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
So I'm gonna play Devil's advocate. He okay, and I would,
And unfortunately we don't have the opportunity to ask Blion
Daddy this question, at least not right now. So his
son's at Wright State, he's a freshman, he's playing. He
got he got playing time at Auburn and at some
of these SEC schools and he performed. Well, what happens

(08:11):
if one of those SEC schools comes calling on his son?
Is he going to have the same attitude if they
are if they dangle a little cash in front of him.
I mean, what's gonna be there? The loyalty or the
ability to play? Number one. If you go to an
SEC school, you're gonna get more notoriety than you are
at Right State. I'm sorry, you know, you know you're

(08:33):
gonna get No if you're a player, they're gonna find you. Okay,
that's the bottom line. But that more national TV exposure,
more you see what I'm saying, You're gonna get the
opportunity to get to that next level is going to
increase if you go to an SEC sc.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Well, it goes back to in a scenario, you do
not know how you're going to react until the question
is put in front of you.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
Absolutely, I'm because if you look at a lot of athletes,
they don't come from great A good portion of them
do not come from great backgrounds. So when you dangle
a couple million dollars, and I'm not saying this kid,
but just in general, you dangle a couple million dollars
in front of them, they're thinking they're set for life. Yeah,

(09:21):
and you don't know how you would react until that
offer is in front of you. So it's easy to
sit back and judge. Sure it is that you just
don't know.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
But he may Where I'm getting at is bloom Daddy
may be presented with this situation in the near future.
Now it may not be millions of dollars, but it
could be an enticement to come to another school.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, he has a pot he has a possible opportunity.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
I mean to fix the potential for that is there?

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yes, unlike you and I.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, well I'm done just thinking for getting me.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
It's seven sixteen. Will we get back? The environmentalists and
the liberals are going after Man's best friend? Seven sixteen

So okay. One of my favorite parts of my day,

(11:36):
and everybody knows I'm a dog lover, is when I
return home and I turn the corner to walk up
the stairs and there are those two furry heads. They're
just so excited and you can hear their little hear
their little nails on the hardwood floors, and they're just
so happy and they're bouncing around. It doesn't matter when

(11:57):
you return home, your dog is happy to see you.
There is a reason why they go by the term
man's best friend or in this case, woman's best friend.
They're your companion. One of the things that drives me nuts,
makes me so angry, is animal abuse. I think it's

(12:18):
one of the worst things on this planet, especially when
it comes to dogs, because they are there, they are
your companion, they rely on you. There's a reason why,
once again, they're called man's best friend. That's not what
this is about. The liberals, the environmentalists, they went after

(12:42):
the cows, they gone after They've gone after our stoves.
They've gone after our cars. But they've kind of reverse
course on that somehow, because now they're burning the cars
that two years ago they were trying to force us
to buy. Make that make sense in your brain. Now
they're going after dogs. They are now. There was an

(13:02):
article release this weekend from the progressive outlet The Guardian.
They are now referring to dogs as not no longer
man's best friend. They're Mother Nature's villains. So if you
look over, if you're still at home right now, you're
not in your car, and you look over and you

(13:23):
look at your little I don't know, poodle, your German shepherd,
you're wiener dog, whatever type of dog you have, they're
a villain. They're evil. They're out to destroy the planet,

(13:46):
according to this article. In new research that was published
in this article, the research has concluded that dogs have
extensive and multi furious environmental impacts. They're just like doctor
Evil sitting there, Oh, how can we destroy the planet.
They disturb wildlife, They pollute waterways, and they contribute immensely

(14:12):
to carbon emissions. And the particular part of wildlife that
they disturb, particularly shore birds, vicious, vicious creatures, vicious. They

(14:33):
say that a canine's carbon footprint is significant significant. They
also found that the dry pet food industry had an
environmental footprint that is around twice the land area of
the UK, with greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the sixtieth

(14:55):
highest emitting country. Okay, otis you have a dog? I
have a dog. Pretty much everybody I know has a dog.
First of all, was the research group a group of
crazy cat ladies? Is my first question? My second question

(15:17):
is is this We have been talking since the election
that the Liberals need to get a new message, they
need to rebrand theirselves. Is this a way? Is this
how they're going to do it? They're going to attack
man's best friend? Seriously? Is there no every day I

(15:39):
wake up and I think to myself, what's the first
thing I'm going to see this morning? What is the
craziest thing well for today? That is this one? That
is this one? Have the Democrats gotten so miserable the Liberals?

(16:00):
Are they so? Are their lives so miserable? Do they
have to find something to whine and cry and protest
about every single day that they've They've they have run
out of options and now they're going to attack the
cute little dog. This is just this is just asinine.

(16:25):
I mean, it's just so stupid. So otis when you
go home and you take your buddy outside, just remember
he's a villain.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Oh I knew that he's.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
An environmental villain.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Good.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
And all I can see as I say that is
who's the girl that became popular the teenager? And there's
a meme of her where she's screaming.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Oh isn't her name Greta something?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, Greta Vaughn something or other. Yeah. Who we've taken
scientific thoughts from anyways, So yes, give Fido a nice
pet today, because he's a villain and you don't want
him to turn on you. It's seven twenty eight The
bloom Daddy Experienced samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Welcome back to the show. Here's your odd news of
the day. I just saw.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
We're down in Louisiana.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Four guys, three adults, one juvenile, rode into a Walmart
on their horses. Now, think about if you're in Walmart
somewhere and all of a sudden, four guys come riding
in on horses.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
How would you react to that? Cops get called?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
What do you think their excuse was give you three
gases three two one. There's your guesses. Emotional support animals,
that's what they said. Those horses are their emotional support animals,
and they didn't want to feel anxiety shopping in Walmart,
so they rode their horses into the Walmart. Now, if

(18:00):
you've ever been around horses, they poop a lot whenever
they want. So can you imagine that this is a
prime example of the crazy society we live in and
why you can't give people an inch because undoubtedly somebody
will take five miles. And here's another case of it.

(18:22):
This started off as emotional support animals. It was a dog,
which I can totally understand. Then it went into a cat,
Then it went into a lizard, Then it went into
a parrot. Then it went into a pig, Then it
went into a miniature pony. Then it went into a crocodile.
Then it went into I mean, I'm being serious, I
think a kangaroo.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
You go down the list.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
This is a prime indication of people who are going
to take total advantage of every situation and how mental
people are or how selfish they are. You can call
it whatever you want, but we get indication after indication
after indication, all the time of people taking it to
the next level. Something so simple, And this is exactly

(19:03):
why you've got to have rules. This is exactly why
you've got to have standards. Now, Democratic Party they love
stuff like this. They don't think there should be any rules,
any standards. People should be able to live how they want,
do whatever they want, whenever they want. That's not what
I believe in Republican Party. To me, is about standards.
It's about upholding people personal responsibility and having some rules.

(19:26):
Because if you don't have rules, you know what you have.
You've got four guys riding into a Walmart on horses, that's.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
What you have.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
I don't know if you saw the story out in
Oregon on the mental health advisory board sits a man
who identifies as a turtle. I'm not kidding you. He
identifies as a turtle. This guy is sitting on a
mental advisory board for the state of Oregon making decisions
on mental health in the state of Oregon.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Who identifies as a turtle?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Person is they're nuts, they're mentally ill, but god forbid
you call them that, because any sane, rational person with
common sense knows that that person is efed up.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
It's the best way to put it. They're fed up.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
But man, you say that, well, at least before under
the former regime.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Now I feel a lot better about saying things.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
But back to my point on the four guys on
the horses, it really gives you an indication two things
of how many just mentally ill or e fed up
people we have out there, number one and number two
other people who will just take advantage of anything to
get attention. We are an attention driven society. You can

(20:44):
think Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of these social media
giants for that.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
That's exactly what social media created in this country.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Do anything you can for clicks, do anything you can
to get attention. Act like a fool, swallow a tide pod,
drive a motorcycle through a house, whatever you can do.
It appeals to the idiots in our society. And that's
why the Democratic Party doesn't work anymore. That's why the
Democratic Party is lost, because there's only so many idiots

(21:15):
out of there.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Thank god, thank god.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
The majority of Americans want common sense, want rules, want standards,
because otherwise you'd have more than four guys riding horses
into Walmart. You'd have more than this one idiot in
Oregon identifying as a tortoise. You would have absolute crazy

(21:37):
in this country.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I mean we see it here in the valley.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I see some things that I just I shake my
head and I just can't even fathom.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Sam, I know I'm not alone.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Oh you're not You're not alone. I saw the video
of the four riding their horses into Walmart. There's a
joke there somewhere a horse walks into a Walmart. If
anybody comes up with a goo would and give us
a call? Six to fort eleven? Seven?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Were they the four horsemen of the apocalypse?

Speaker 5 (22:15):
But again, there is a joke there. No, if you
didn't see this, it's speaking of emotional support animals. There
was a gentleman in Nevada who's been arrested for his
unlicensed seven I'll say this again, seven emotional support tigers. Yeah, yes, yes.

(22:40):
The crazy that continues to increase in this country is
off the charts. Bloom Daddy, he mentioned the the person
that identifies as the Turtleman. His boyfriend is par the
master splinter for kids of the eighties. You get that joke, No,

(23:06):
you don't get it. Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Master Splinter
was their guru.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
No, I've never seen it.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Okay, okay, anyways, that joke fell completely outside of his realm.
But no, it's stupid. All of this is ridiculous. I
shared a video on our page I think it was
last week of the grown man wearing a leather dog

(23:35):
face thing hat mask. I don't know what it was
because it kind of went over the top of his
head and he was at a trans dog competition, skills competition,
I guess you could say. So, you know when you
see we're back on dogs. But you know when you
see on TV little clips and here's a dog, say

(23:58):
a Labrador, and he's run and through a tunnel and
then he goes up and you know it's a skills drill. Well,
now they have a competition like that for human beings
that live as dogs. And in this clip, this young,
this gentleman, he rolls over and he pops right back
up and the crowd just roars because he did an

(24:21):
absolutely perfect rollover. People are paying money for this. There
is a competition built around this. It used to be
when people were insane mentally disturbed, whatever the PC term
is today, we got them help. We did not support

(24:51):
their delusional way of thinking. We did not bolster their
way of thinking. We said to you, no, you're not
a dog. No you do not use the restroom outside

(25:12):
like a dog. No, Susie, you're not a cat. You
don't lose a letter box. But we've gotten a point
into this. We've gotten to a point in this culture
that we accept everything and anything. How much further is

(25:32):
it going to get? Like bloom Daddy said, the turtleman
sits on a behavioral board. This person lives and wants
to be referred to as a turtle, and yet is
on a board making decisions about behavioral mental issues. Really, really,

(25:57):
if you could, what would be your emotional port animal otis? Oh,
I'd have a dog, but watch watch because the environmentals
will come after you, don't care. I wonder if they'll
go after the trans identifying dog people. Do they create
as many carbon emissions as our poor pets? Wonder if

(26:22):
they'll go after them too? Oh, as I said, Oh,
you can't make it up. You can't make it up.
Just a reminder lunch email me sam Atiheartmedia dot com,

Waiting for it, A horse walks into a walmart. I'm

(27:03):
waiting on the joke people, four eleven seventy. Somebody's got
to have a good one out there anyways. Locally, let's
get into this. The Wheeling Nailers right down the street
from us. A playoff action starts tonight as the quest
for the Kelly Cup begins. The Nailers travel to Norfolk
to take on the Admirals in the first round of

(27:24):
playoff action. The puck drops at seven oh five tonight
and tomorrow. You can catch all the playoff action, of course,
on our sister station, Mix ninety seven. Three. Tickets are
still available for Games three, four, and five, which will
happen next week at here at Home at West Banko Arena.
The games will be on Wednesday Friday, and if it

(27:46):
goes that far into Saturday? How many rounds are there?
Playoffs with the Nailers.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
If I think to get them all, they'd have to
win four rounds.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Where are they seated?

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
I do not know. Yeah, I didn't see the seedings.
So obviously they're not as high as Norfolk because Norfolks
get the home. Yeah, well the advanta. Well, so they're
at least one seed lower than Norfolk.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Hey, we got that. And then some local news out
of Wheeling. This week's Neighborhood Watch, Crime Watch and Wheeling
takes place today. The meeting begins at five point thirty
at the Elmgrove CIVICX that's on Sycamore Avenue, and additional
information and a link to the meeting can be found
on line, so if you're involved with that. And then
some good news the Wheeling area. There we go. The

(28:38):
Wheeling Area Chamber of Commerce has an extra twenty five
thousand dollars today. It's all thanks to a wonderful donation
from their friends at West Banco. Funds will be used
to help increase community engagement and training programs.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
And so I was wrong.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
You were wrong.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
The Wheeling Nailers and the number two seed. Oh so
they open up on the road games one and two,
but games three through seven if necessary. It's the best
the seven series. Okay, so all after game two, three, four, five,
six and seven will be at West Banko Arena. Okay,
obviously five, six and seven if necessary.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
Oh good for them.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
That is in the north. Actually this is the semi finals,
so we must have missed the first rounds of the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Whoopsie.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
You figured since we have somebody that's in this building
that works with the Nailers, they'd let us know those things.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Well, you know that happens, and then.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
If we win, we would play the winner of Troy
the Three Rivers Lions. It's French.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
I'm not Oh, come on, go for it.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
I had two years of French at school and it
didn't do me any good. So it's the one versus four. Say,
it's the Three Rivers Lions and the Redding Royals. So
if the Nailers would win this series, then that's they
would play the winner of that series.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
What are they the three River.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Royals, three River Lions Lions?

Speaker 5 (29:58):
So betwa that's three t.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Rivier Lions Rivier I don't know, I know twas three, right,
I hope that's right?

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yes, yes, I remember like one through five.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Firmnase in front of it.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
That's what it's done, not that I know. Just yeah, okay, yeah,
just putting that in a little sam No, no, no, no, no,
no no. I have a lot of time on my hands. Wow,
where do I go from there?

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Take your foot out of your mouth.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
I don't even know. Well here's the Okay, let's go
for death. Everybody knows this name, and it's not Baltimore
Raven's offensive coordinator. No, it is game show host Wink Martindale. Unfortunately,
he passed at the age of ninety one. He hosted
Tic Tac Dough So, High Rollers and other shows throughout

(31:02):
his career. He passed away in California on Tuesday. No
cause of death was provided, but he was ninety one.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
I was reading something. He hosted a game show called
Gambit Gambit okay, and it was canceled because of the
success of Wheel of Fortune at the time.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Oh really yeah, Oh he's not who I thought he was.
I had to I just got him pulled.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Up, Martindale. I think he I want to say he
did name that tune as well.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
He was a very close friend of Elvis, did one.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Of the first interviews with Elvis. Oh really, I think so?

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yeah, did you imagine? Yeah, my buddy Elvis Presley.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Well, just to if you want to talk a little
bit about Elvis and people that were close to him.
He's since passed away, but former Wheeling councilman her Henry
Okay was in the military and was in the same
unit and everything else as Elvis in Germany. Yeah, back
in the day.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Huh, that's when he met Priscilla. Huh, that's cool. Let's
see wink Martin.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Dan a little trivia there for you.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
We've got Politics Unleash coming up.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
So that's as you're scrolling great radio.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
No, no, no, I'm just trying to see some of
the other games that game shows he.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Was, Oh, he hosted a ton of them, and he
was one of those guys. He may have hosted I
think he may have hosted like a nighttime version of
The Prices Right or Truth or Consequences too.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
I think really.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Because Bob Barker and Mark there was like a daytime
version of Truth or Consequences, and then there was a
a nighttime version of it as well, and so one
one hosted the day and one hosted the night. So
let's see, and I think that was that may have helped.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Schmooze or lose schmooze or lose. Never heard of that.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
There were some dumb game shows back in the day.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
It was like everybody wanted it wasn't there a point
in time everybody wanted to be a game show host.
And well you.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Know why they did him that, They were because their
cheek to produce. Oh yeah, you know, you don't need
a huge set, you know, you studio audience, boom couple,
you know, a set and then you're done and they're
very very inexpensive. Card sharks, card sharks.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yeah, that was a good one. Password.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think he did. And like I said,
he did a lot of things.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Yeah, I didn't realize he did so much acting. Hmm,
so ninety one years old. Good run, good run, good
for him, good for good for him.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
And anytime you make it past eighty five, it's a
good run.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
And then real quick, this is off the wall. A
man in Glasgow, Scotland, was having hearing a loss. He
couldn't understand why, sought medical medical care, thought he was
going deaf. Well it turns out he had a tiny
pink lego stuck in his ear.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
I hate when that happens.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
For twenty years, how do you not know a lego
is in your ear for twenty years. I have no idea. Oh,
seven fifty eight. The bloom Daddy Experience samon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Z number one TUK show in the Ohio Valley. 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 seventy. WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
News Radio eleven seventy. It's the bloom Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eight six. Let's get this hour rolling. Good Wednesday
morning too, And I'm not going to mention one thing
about the web, Okay, just one thing. How about that
win yesterday in crazy crazy weather in Ohio Valley. I'm
in one spot. It's hailing and raining. I literally drive
if maybe not even a mile. Sun's out in blue skies.

(35:04):
April is absolutely nuts and I can't wait until it's over.
You've been following that saga. In college football at the
University of Tennessee. This is a program that made the
college football playoffs last year. Of course, got steamrolled by
Ohio State. Their quarterback Nico and you can try to
pronounce his last name, because I butchered every time tried
to hold the school hostage all over nil money. Now,

(35:27):
thankfully the school told him to hit the road. But
this is what you're gonna see more and more of
in college sports until the NCAA mandates that these kids
signed contracts. And I'm gonna explain why that needs to happen.
So this quarterback, I believe he was getting one point
five million dollars in an IL money as the quarterback
of Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Somebody got in his.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Head, his dad, whoever it may be, and said, hey, listen,
go to him and tell him you want three million,
and if they're not gonna give it to you, you're
not going to practice. So he held out of practice,
said he wanted three million dollars. The transfer portal I
believe opens up tomorrow or maybe here within the next week,
because there's two different times during the year that the

(36:10):
portal opens up. And he basically said, you either pay
me or I'm gonna leave. Tennessee thought it over and said,
don't let the door hitch in the ass, which is
exactly what they needed to do. But now take a
look at the position tennessee'son. They're gonna get ready to
go into the next season without their starting quarterback. And
even though the transfer portal is opening up here soon,

(36:33):
most teams have already solidified their guys, meaning there's not
going to be as much movement in this portal as
there is the next one. So he really left Tennessee
high and dry. He forced their hand, And as I said,
I think they made the right decision because I would
do the same damn thing. But this is where we

(36:54):
are in college athletics. You've got nothing but mercenaries. They're
gonna be holding school hostage to try to get the
most money they could possibly get. So the days of
man I as a kid, I always wanted to play
for Tennessee or Ohio State or Oklahoma, Notre Dame, those
days are gone. Those kids might go there initially, but

(37:15):
as soon as somebody dangles a lot of money in
front of their face or the opportunity is there, they're
not going to care about tradition.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
They're not going to care about anything. I mean, I just.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Witnessed it in college baseball. Wright State played Youngstown State
the other day. Nine scouts, I think I told you
about this last week nine scouts in attendance for the
young Sound State pitcher. This guy topped out at ninety eight.
He was sitting at ninety six. Last year he pitched
for the University of Kansas. So the question is, how,
when the hell does somebody go from the University of

(37:46):
Kansas to Youngstown in Division one baseball.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
The answer is he's getting paid.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
There was another guy on the team from Seattle, Washington,
played for the Washington Huskies last year. He's playing for
Youngstown State scouts where they're looking at him too.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
He's getting paid.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I found out that young Sound State the athletic department
was given a bunch of money by a donor and
they're paying their athletes. So you've got two guys.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
They might have.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
The pitcher may have grown up in Kansas, always wanted
to play for the Jayhawks. Well, flash some money, I'll
go to Youngstown. I mean, I don't know about you,
but Young Sound's not on my destination chart. Nothing against Youngstown,
but you paid these guys enough money.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
They're going to go.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
College sports has become nothing but mercenaries, and I feel
bad for my kids. I feel bad for your kids,
whether it's college sports or pro You think about back
when we were kids, you could name everybody on the
team going into the following year. You knew who was
coming back, you knew who you had. You really got
attached to players. Now, I mean, these guys are rooting

(38:51):
for a brand. It's pretty much it. You're rooting for
the brand of the Steelers or you're rooting for the
brand of Ohio State. You're just rooting for a brand
because most of these are gonna come in, they're not
gonna be there very long, and they're gonna leave as
soon as somebody floats some money in their in their face.
The mc double A is asleep at the wheel. They've
been asleep at the wheel. They're more worried about some

(39:11):
guys stealing hand signs that are in full view of
everybody to see in a stadium than they are about
regulating a sport or sports that have gotten out of
control because of money. And it's only gonna get worse.
I want to I'd like to hear your thoughts on
this one.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
Well, one hundred percent agree it's only gonna get worse.
I mean it's already it's already bad. Between the ni
L money, the transfer portal, you know, college college athletics
has become a joke.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
It is.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
Again the rich are gonna get richer. Those that those
schools that have the most n i L money, which
are the ones that are the most successful, the ones
that are on TV all the time and everything else.
So you're Alabama's a lot of yours CC schools, a
high State, Notre Dame, possibly Penn State. You know, I mean,
a school like Oklahoma State or a school like Washington

(40:14):
aren't going to be able to compete because they're not
going to have the money that some of these other
schools have. And you know who wants. I mean, first off,
the National Championship Series has all been created not only
by the NCAA, but by ESPN because you know, it's
revenue coming in. So by expanding the playoffs, there's more

(40:35):
money and everything else. By expanding the playoffs, you can
get the teams in there that are going to draw
the numbers and sell the advertising. So you know who
is that. That's Notre Dame, That's Ohio State, that is Georgia,
that's Alabama, that's you know, it's it's the blue bloods
of college football. And it's the same with basketball.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
It's your Big Conferences, is your SCC, is your Big Tens.
It's the same conversation as we had similar two weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Well also back in January.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
Yeah, but about the NFL, with so many games and
so many networks being involved, that's more contracts, that's more money.
That's what it comes down to for all sports pretty
much at this point in time, it comes down to
the money simply.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
And you know, I can remember a story. Oh hell,
this has been twenty years ago, if not more. It
was before nine to eleven. And Rick macjeris, who used
to coach the University of Utah and basketball, he had
a player that had a relative pass away. I think
it was a parent, Okay, and Rick mcjaris took he

(41:39):
took this kid to the airport and he, you know,
was called consoling the kid. And while at the airport,
while he was waiting on his flight, he bought Hi
McDonald's breakfast. That was an NCAA violation. He got banged
for that for buying this kid at ten dollars breakfast

(42:01):
because he's consoling him after a parent has passed away.
And so those are the things that the NCAA is
worried about. They don't care that there's a person that
makes two million dollars from the university anymore. It's oh, well,
did you violate this by feeding this kid? You see
what I'm saying. Uh, it's just it's just a joke.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Well, and that's that's a different circumstance that that's that's
shameful honestly, if what he was doing was just doing that.
But there's the other side of this too, where the
the power and control of a team is now given
to the student athletes because like what this kid did,

(42:41):
he tried to be a big man on campus and
negotiate this, negotiate that taking the control out of the
hands of his coaches. And that's why, like otis we've mentioned,
You've mentioned multiple times, coaches have left. They no longer
have the authority, they no longer have the control. How
do you build a team when every other season your

(43:04):
starters or your quarterback or your top running back is
threatening to leave.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
We're tempted by more money, right, how.

Speaker 5 (43:11):
Do you build any type of consistency, any type of team.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
Well, when we had to look when Bob Huggins was
in here in the studio. Yeah, during you know, during
the election cycle. And the one question I asked him,
I said, is the transfer portal and nil killing college sports?
And he said absolutely yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:29):
He didn't even hesitate, no, no, And again I think
this hurt uh, mister Nico's draft stock. Also because the
NFL teams.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Will watch the Raiders are taking, but teams will.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
Watch this kind of stuff. You know, it shows character.
So yeah, I think it's going to have more ramifications
than he planned on. It's eight fifteen. When we get back,
we're going to get into it. Politics Unleashed with Elgin mccardeal.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience Otis and Sam News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It's a twenty the bomb Experienced

(44:12):
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It's Wednesday morning,
so it is time for Politics Unleashed with Elgind mccardo.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
Good morning, ma'am, Good morning. How are you good?

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Good? Good traveling? I hear.

Speaker 6 (44:28):
Yes, yes, I have a hearing sol.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
Okay, busy. She is a she is a busy lady,
Ladies and gentlemen. So I put out on Facebook last
night to our fans, our listeners, any questions for you.
So we got a couple, so I'm gonna jump off
and start there. Okay, So the first question hits on
a legal case more than than political. So wanted your thoughts, listener.

(44:55):
Dan wants your thoughts on Carmelo Anthony, the juvenile accused
of stabbing to death the twin brother Austin Metcalf at
the track and field event. If you have been following
this case.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
Yes, yes, what are my thoughts on it?

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Well, I think because this is last night, the bond
was lowered from one million to I think it was
two fifty. That might be what he's getting at here,
the listener.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
Okay, Well, first of all, bond is to address the
issue of bond and bond being lowered. Bond is two fold.
There's two purposes. To keep the community safe. So if
the individual was a danger to the community, that affects
the number the price of the bond, and also whether

(45:46):
the individual is likely to flee, in other words, to
ensure their appearance in court. So those are the two
major things generally thinking now in West Virginia, if you're
charged with murder one, there's a presumption that you get nobile.
That doesn't mean that you can't argue for it, but
there's a presumption that you don't get it.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
Because the.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Penalty for murder one in what sin is life imprisonment.
So the the higher the sentence associated with a potential conviction,
the more likely a person who is going to flee
because whether they have to writ they lose right. So
as far as lowering the bond, I mean, first of all,
there's there's lots of different factors that go into this murder,

(46:31):
which it was a murder he can't Number one, is
he going to be tried as an adult? That's number two?
Does he have ties to the community and are his
parents willing to accept responsibility for him and ensure that
he gets to court? That's another you know, obviously a
million dollars is a lot of Clearly his family won't

(46:54):
get it, doesn't have the opportunity to post, so to
make it two hundred and fifty thousands would allow a
bond company to come in and help out with that,
or they can put up their house as collateral. But
the purpose is to ensure his appearance and make sure
there's no dangerous to the community. The question then becomes,
I don't know anything about this kid. Prior history, that

(47:17):
you have a fire history of violence, that you have
some sort of mental incapacity, or you know, like a trigger,
a violent trigger. Those are all factors that would be
dangerous to the community. But to be in it to
stab somebody because they took their place in a tent
tractmate is really sort of out there.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Yeah, there's a lot of people, you know, defending and
in my argument has been to people I've had conversations with,
is who brings a knife to a track meet?

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Right?

Speaker 6 (47:49):
I mean right as a kid?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Right?

Speaker 6 (47:53):
Yeah, Yeah, you know, I don't even know was it
a pocket knife or was I don't know what kind
of knife at what that.

Speaker 5 (47:59):
I have not heard any details on I have not
heard that heard any any sizes or anything like that anywhere. Actually,
now that you say that, I haven't seen that written anywhere.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
Right, So obviously a pocket knife would have the capability
of me based upon where he fab him, which was
in the heart, that that you know is going to
have a problem that's going to affect the outcome of
the survival.

Speaker 5 (48:22):
Yeah, that's an extreme reaction. Staying along the lines of
legal conversation, but tying in the political side of this,
conversation this listener, Dan again actually asks UH mentions that
Democrat UH Representative Lord Freeman admits, admits that about seventy
House Democrats are in a shadow government meet weekly to

(48:44):
block President Trump's agenda. Do you think there is any
truth to any of that and if so, should they
be investigated? Should they be investigated?

Speaker 6 (48:54):
Absolutely? Yeah, yeah, there is absolutely a shadow UH meeting
or call it has been for the past four years.
I mean, there was a shadow administration behind Biden. There's
no question about it, because his inability to lack of

(49:15):
lucidity clearly shows that somebody else was running the country.
And it is it is an anti Trump movement, and
it's a shame that the goal of making America great
again is shadowed or overshadowed by individuals who are citizens
of the United States, is overshadowed by their desire to

(49:36):
see TROMP fail, which is a shame. And that's that's
that's the problem. And yes, I think they should be
looked into. And I will just set dollars to donuts
that they are being wanted to, you know, which which
obviously they set it up in the past administration that
wanting to say that this weapon that weaponization of the
justice system. Well, exactly what happened in the last administration,

(50:01):
except that there was no merit to what they were doing,
clearly based up on the verdict. Then the overturning of
the various decisions by the same court. And they're awaiting
now the decision on the Latishop James New York case.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
Well, and that's that's real quick, and you may have
to hold your answer until we returned. I think we
have plenty of time, real quick to speaking of how
things work process wise. The particular judge of Bosberg, I
hope I pronounced that correctly. He's been chosen twice in
cases involving Trump the Trump administration. How what are the

(50:40):
odds of the likelihood that one judge out of the
pool of judges is chosen so close for cases that
are so tied to the same person.

Speaker 6 (50:53):
Well, the chances are mail. I mean, if it's a
true random selection, they just go in order. You know,
you're the next person, You're the next judge up, the
next case that comes in, you know, And there's nothing
to say that a clerk is not re arranging those
within the you know, court system, because that does happen Uh.

(51:14):
But to the to answer your questions, the likelihood is
it's slim that the same judge is going to be
getting two political cases within a short period of time,
such that you know, and he is. They're basically form
shopping and and they're they're forum shopping for a judge
that's got to be favorable to them. And I think that's,

(51:36):
you know, slowly but surely being taken up to the
Supreme Court. There's so much litigation right on everything, and
it's it's it's quite frankly counterproductive.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
Well it's a waste of taxpayer dollars to but hold
that thought, no doubt. We've got plenty of more to
hit on when we return. It's eight twenty eight The
Bloom Diddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio e love WWVA, Hey,

(52:10):
thirty six, Welcome back The blim Daddy Experience, Sam and
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Coming up, we're going
to continue the conversation with Elgiam mccardal for Politics on Leash.
Of course, it is a Wednesday, that's what we get
into here. But just this is last call putting it
out there, last call, Free lunch delivered by us on
Friday thanks to our friends at River City. Last call

(52:31):
for entries. All you do email sam at iHeartMedia dot com,
name phone number and company. It's pretty simple's that's the
cheapest lunch you'll ever get sam at iHeartMedia dot Com,
name phone number and company. And then you're in. You're registered.
That's all you have to do, free lunch from our
friends at River City. All right, once again, joining us,

(52:54):
we have Algie mccardal. So let's get into this. Over
the past week, let's say week and a half, we
have seen two pretty violent things happen. Number one, the
attack and the fire on Governor Shapiro's mansion in Pennsylvania,

(53:17):
all in support of Palestine, according to the perpetrator or
the suspected arsonist I'll say suspected along with the which
this didn't actually come to a violent end, but the Wisconstantine,
a seventeen year old Nikita Cassup, who murdered his parents

(53:37):
to get money to pull off an assassination attempt of
the president. We have continued to see Elgin violence increase
over the past couple months, surrounding political entities, businesses. Are

(53:58):
we going to get is it going to continue to grow.
Is there anything that the government can do to squash
this or temper it a little bit?

Speaker 6 (54:06):
Do you think, well, I mean that believes that's a
lot to unpack. Number One, the violence has absolutely increased,
and it really just hasn't been just the last two weeks.
It started with all of the violence with a Tesla cars,
the car dealerships, with those molotov cocktails, you know, which

(54:30):
are pretty much just homemade and scendiary devices that you
can throw through a window and it explodes and it's
like a bomb. They get it to Tesla dealerships. Now
they get it to Shapiro's, the governor's mansion. Now, how
that even happens, I don't know how the security was
what so lax to that that happened, But it is

(54:51):
it's an increasing almost taking the law into your own
hands because you don't like policies, don't you don't resort
to violence. I mean it is the classic, uh, you know,
you did me wrong, or perception is you did me wrong,
I'm going to do you wrong, and it's it's beyond

(55:12):
the scope of any understanding. You know, when Republicans you
didn't like the bud light commercial, we just didn't purchase
bud light. You know, the Conservatives didn't purchase the drink.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
Guess what.

Speaker 6 (55:26):
That's what that you know, they came off of the
woke culture and that was a policy and there so
there's a difference between quote, peaceful demonstration of your First
Amendment rights because you don't agree with the policy, versus
taking one step further and becoming violent. It is not
acceptable the bo j I believe tim body that they

(55:49):
have identified the oh, I don't know him, the fellow
it that torched the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion a bomber. He's
a domestic terrorist. Yeah, he's a domestic terrorist. There's no question,
you know. And you while the Democrats want to make
a big heyday about January sixth and the storm on

(56:11):
the Capitol, et cetera, and how everybody was nobody was killed.
The person that did die wasn't a result of somebody
coming and going in there and you know, intentionally hurting them.
You know, it's such a fallacy and I don't is
it going to escalate? I hope not. I hope the

(56:31):
Department of Justice steps up and prosecutes these people. It
goes back to your statement, is there a dark room
somewhere where people are planning and plotting. I think it's
part of it. I think that that ultimately if there
are individuals behind it that have the money. For example,

(56:53):
I know when Daddy was saying, follow the money. Hey,
these protesters, we don't know who they are, they don't
know what their protest. They're just getting paid to make
comp quite miserable. And that's just not acceptable. That's not
where we live, that's not the country to live in.
And I think that's not going to resonate with the voters.
That's what they're trying to do. It's almost like a

(57:14):
spoiled child doing a tantrum and a grocery store.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
They they lost, they did not get their way. And
you're exactly right, because that's what I think. When I
see these protesters with their purple hair and their pink
hair and they're screaming and they're absolutely ridiculously out of control.
I think you're a spoiled child who lost your game
and now you're throwing a temper tantrum. There's no there's

(57:43):
they're they're not getting anything out of it. Nobody's paying
attention to them. The only people that are paying attention
to them are the other crazies, the rest of us
who have to go to work every day to earn
a living. It's it's like they're they're they're comical. They're comical.
And the unfortunate thing is for the people who really

(58:03):
have a message that they want heard, who want to protest,
who want to make their feelings heard, who do not
act that way, they will never be taken seriously because
of these folks, right.

Speaker 6 (58:17):
They won't either they won't be taken so seriously or
they're going to try to hide in shame. Like old
Gretchen did you went to the White House to have
a meeting, you know, with Trump on the because she
obviously is from Michigan and she has to deal with
you and w and the UH workers, the auto auto workers.

(58:40):
So she had to talk to Trump. Well, God to
bed that she'd be seen talking to Trump and she
holds the Oh, she just didn't want to get a
picture taken. So you know, it's a shame. There's there's
hypocrites in every way, shape and form. If you are
saying that your rights are being ignored and your First
Amendment rights are boom lord, but yet by the same time,

(59:02):
you won't allow those within your party who disagree with
you to come forward and put their views out. It
is it is critical. Well, and if you don't listen
to us, we're going to bomb you.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
Well, and where are the leaders? Where are the leaders
on both sides? I'll say that on both sides saying
the destruction of property is not as acceptable. That is
not peaceful protesting. You know, burning down a mansion is
not protesting. Where are the leaders in our government saying
this is this is it, We've We've hit our limit.

(59:37):
This has got to stop. We're not hearing those messages
from from leadership. What we're actually hearing is what we
woke up to this morning, where Democratic lawmakers are planning
a trip to El Salvador, all in support of a
suspected MS thirteen gang member who got deported. So you can't.

(59:59):
So they're putting out a message like that. Their message
is we will travel across the ocean to support a
suspected violent gang member who broke into our country illegally,
But we will not stand for a child with cancer.
We will not stand in support of murder victim's families
at the hands of illegal aliens. So I don't think

(01:00:23):
from the liberal side we're going to get any type
of back it down message because they support this violence.

Speaker 6 (01:00:35):
They do, and as we have said ever since the elections,
they don't have a message, nor do they have a messenger.
And until they figure that out and come off of
their far less socialist values, it's just not going to work.
I mean, they roll out Bernie Sanders to do some
sort of speech, you know where kids have to pay

(01:00:57):
six hundred dollars to go see it. Then they roll
out old Biden last night to give his little ditty,
which was still the same. Yeah, I'm like, what are
you doing? Yeah, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
I missed that one. I missed the Biden speech last night.
You didn't miss That's that's what I figured. That's what
I figured. Hold the line. We're gonna we'll get back
to this when we return. It's eight forty five. Last
call free lunch Sam at iHeartMedia dot com name and
phone number and company. We'll bring it to you on Friday.
Thanks to our friends at River City. Again, it's a

(01:01:33):
forty five. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Salmon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy w w v A. Welcome
back to eight fifty the bloom Daddy Experience, salmon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy w w v A. First off

(01:01:56):
before elg and I jump back to you. This is
probably a long shot, but I'm going to put it
out there if there are any Democrats listening to us,
we are looking for a democratic voice to come on
and talk with Elgin and I. So if you are
interested in, email samtt iHeartMedia dot com. Again. I know

(01:02:18):
this is a long shot, but if there's any out there,
email me samttiheartmedia dot com. All right, Elgen, one more
question for you, and we're gonna let you go a
little bit early before the end of the show. Eric
on Facebook is asking when will they start investigating the
members members of Congress. I want to hear how they
will have multiple how they have multi million dollars in

(01:02:39):
net Worth with a six figure annual salary. And here's
my question to tie into that, is there enough time
for this DOJ to investigate the members of Congress?

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
When are they going to start? I think they are.
But here's the problem. You have a a law that
applies to everybody else but does not apply to Congress,
and that is the insider trading eight. That has long
been an issue because obviously in Congress you are going,
you know a lot of things before it leaks to

(01:03:18):
the public. And so for example, with Nancy and her husband,
who is in the stock market business, she gets information,
I'm sure she has pillow talk, and then she talks
to her hubby who either buys and sells stock in
accordance with what he knows is going to come down
the pike. That's way ahead of everybody else, But it

(01:03:39):
doesn't apply to Congress. They're allowed to do that. That's
one two lobbyist. Certainly, there's there's a lot of lobbying
money that is paid to buy certain special interest groups
to lobby the congressional body for the purpose of passing

(01:04:01):
laws that are favorable to their particular organization. There's there's
a whole lot of stuff that is happening behind the
scenes that allows congress congressional individuals to profit. I mean,
look at AOC who's what a bartender with lots of
loans from Boston University, and you know she went a

(01:04:24):
couple one or two terms in Congress and now she's
a millionaire. So where does that come from Does it
come from donors as well, you know, for your for
your campaign because my understanding that once they raise that
money is theirs for their pension. So there there's there's
all kinds of different reasons and ways that congressional representatives

(01:04:50):
are get money, and it's not just from their salary.
So yes, it needs to be investigated, but to the
extent that and if there's there's fraud involved, which I
know Doze was starting to look into it on you know,
how is it that these like the Stacy Abrams, I think,
who's got millions of dollars and in a grant kickback

(01:05:13):
that kind of thing, all kinds of stuff. So are
they doing it? I think they are? Is there enough
time within this administration? You know, we're into it one
hundred days, so you've got three three plus more years,
But I unless the Republican stays in office that carries
on policies of this administration, it's not gonna be enough time. Well,

(01:05:35):
investigation is going to take at least a year or two.

Speaker 5 (01:05:37):
Yeah, And wouldn't you say there's so much that goes
on behind the scenes when it comes to investigations legally?
Oh yeah, that that the person who is, you know,
not a lawyer, not involved in that kind of We
have no understanding of how much goes on that we don't.

Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
Hear about, right, absolutely, and you know most of it
is done before grand jury and all the proceedings before
the grand jury. Your secret. You're allowed you're not allowed
to know. Especially in the federal system too. I mean
you can have special grand juries that extends for years
investigating particular crimes riekos, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
So interesting, wow, interesting, Well, thank you so much again, Elgin.
Safe travels. We're gonna let you go a little bit
early so you get to where you're going on time
and we don't hold you back. So again, thank you
so much this morning, Elgin. And again, if you have questions,
email me Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, or of course
you can message us on Facebook. Elgin. We'll talk to

(01:06:36):
you next week.

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
We don't want to get a get there. Didn't mean
to brush, all right, It only takes a second okay,
one and twelve and generate in number nine.

Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Okay, we have Jennifer from Dutton Cattle Company in Flushing,
So Jennifer, I will be getting a hold of you
after the show to arrange lunch.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):

company just asking for a friend.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
I didn't think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Chicken to a cattle company.

Well, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):

See, I pay compliments everybody you do.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
I give you compliments, just normally, not out of the air.

Speaker 5 (01:08:25):
So remember we had the story earlier about the walmart
and horses, and I said, give me some. So Randy,
boy friend of show, Randy always comes through in a pinch.
He said, horses walk into a walmart and they said.
The riders say, anyone see my buggy. I must have
taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque. So thank you, Randy.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
If you're a Bugs buddy fan and you get that,
I don't get it. That's what he always used to
say when he would tunnel. You'd seen tonnel under the ground. Yeah,
and so he'd nned up someplace and he said, oh,
I must have taken their own turn it out for querque.
Oh he's like in like it was like in probably
fifty cartoons. Oh okay, So Looney Tunes is a little
before your time. Yeah, So I mean I'm surprised you.

(01:09:11):
You know, I probably watch them. You probably watch them
because they were in color.
