Speaker 1 (00:01):
See number one Touch 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 (00:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Jim er Nacy, former Congressman.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Blue Daddy Show political analyst, talking about well politicism.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Jim, I want to start off.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
With tariffs, because let's get a gauge at what is
going on as of right now. There's been a pause,
there's still some tariffs out there. You got some new
ones coming, including some specific to vehicles, and it's got
a lot of Americans reassessing their plans to buy a car,
reevaluating whether they want a new car at all given
the economic uncertainty, and also car insurance going to be

(00:53):
going up because of these tariffs as it stands right now.
Everything you've been looking at, what's been the effect.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Well, I think that's what it is. Boom Daddy. We
have people that are now holding back on buying new cars.
They're looking at it. I mean, my son has decided
to hold off on buying a new car. So I
think those are the kind of things that occur when
people start thinking about these tariffs and costs and so forth. Look,
we still have that ten percent terraf across the board.

(01:23):
There's still a lot of uncertainty and unpredictability. I think
when you have that, you still have people really concerned
about buying They're really concerned about buying homes, buying cars,
and that's one of the reasons why the economy appears
to be starting to slow down. And by the way
gas prices are coming down, people say, well this is great.
No gas prices come down when it appears that the

(01:46):
economy is starting to slow down as well.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
All right, So do you think Trump is going to
stick to his guns or do you think you'll see
more tariff relief sooner.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Rather than later.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Well, look, I can tell you in twenty seventeen to
twenty eighteen, when I was in Washington from Britain tarraps,
he didn't put him on, and he ended up backing
off of me and getting good negotiations, you know, dealing
and getting negotiations and getting those things accomplished without doing
what he did this year. Now, he really. I do
think he's trying to change some additional things this time.

(02:22):
But in the end, I think there will be a
time where Trump will say, you know what, we got
what we needed. It's time to move on. I got
some of the things I wanted, and of course he'll
spin it off as it was good, and some of
it might be good. But I don't think he's going
to get everything he wants. That's just not probably going
to happen at this stage of the game.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
All right, let's go on to this new Gallup poll
shows confidence in Democratic congressional leaders has hit an all
time low since they began surveying voters on this issue
basically twenty five years ago. Just twenty five percent express confidence,
down nine points from the previous historic loa thirty four
twenty twenty three. On the flip side, nearly forty percent

(03:04):
of respondents that they are confident in GOP leadership in Congress.
That's up too points. What would be your advice to
the Democratic Party as to what they need to do
to improve their poll numbers?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, look, just like anything else, I do think there'll
be somebody come out of the Democrat Party that will
be moderate mid I mean, the biggest problem they have
today is they've got AOC and Sanders out there on
representing them. That's not a good picture, that's not a
good face, And I think the best thing they can
do is just lay low. They're going to hope that

(03:36):
the economy shatters, They're going to hope that we end
up with a recession, and then there's going to be
some moderate, middle of the road Bill clintonish type for
a Democrat. They'll that they need to step up and say, look,
we need to change things, we need to go do this,
do that. That's their only choice, and that's their only
chance of really coming back. If they continue down this

(03:57):
path with AOC and Bernie Sanders as a front face
of the party, they're going to continue to collapse.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
So basically, what you're saying is this party needs some
new faces.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Well, yes, but I do think they have new faces.
Governor of Pennsylvania, Governor of Maryland, governor of even Kentucky. Well, look,
the governor of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, has a seventy percent
approval rating among Republicans and Democrats. That's the type of
individual and the faith that will have to show up
to save the Democrat Party a night.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Jim always appreciated.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Thank you, thank you. You have a good day.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Hi, that's Jim or Nacy.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Well, first of all, I want to go back a
little bit on the first part of that conversation, the
tariff side of it. Earlier last week, it was announced
by Honda that they're going to increase manufacturing in the
US and shift it shift the majority of production from
Mexico and Canada back to the United States. What is

(04:57):
being done with these terrors is not going to flip overnight.
There's a long term game plan for what is being done.
This Honda portion that I just read to you is
just an example. Listen, nobody is saying that this is
going to be a smooth ride. It's not going to be.

(05:21):
But in the long run, the goal to bring business,
and we've talked about this over and over again. Business manufacturing,
high paying jobs is what needs to return to the country,
and that is the goal of this administration. Bring back
the high paying jobs. You bring back money to main
street of our communities and to our households. Now, the

(05:45):
conversation about the Democratic Party and the recent poll, yikes,
not good. Bloom Daddy read you the numbers. What can
they do to improve these numbers? That's the big question.
They need new faces, new faces the Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Of the world.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
The world is use the word oligarchy for the past
twenty years, and it has fallen on deaf ears for
twenty years, and it continues to fall on deaf ears.
Then you bring out the bartending extraordinair aoc. Nobody pays
attention to what she hasn't she says, nobody cares what
she has to say.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
The media does, because they keep they keep showing her
they do.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
They do, But we all know the goal of that
media that you're referring to. They have. They're so one sided,
we all know it. But they do need new faces.
And one of the names thrown out there, of course,
has been Governor Shapiro for Pennsylvania, and he was the
top front runner name being thrown around to be on
the ticket with Harris. My theory is that those people,

(06:53):
they the inner circle of the Democratic Party, kept him
off the ticket on purpose. They knew she was going
to fail. I really think they knew she was going
to fail, and I think they know somebody like Governor
Shapiro from Pennsylvania is the new wave of the Democratic Party,

(07:16):
and I think they made it a point to keep
him off that ticket, to save him for future use.
I don't think they wanted to see him go down
with the ship that was the Harris Titanic. They wanted
to avoid that with him. But let's all keep in mind,

(07:37):
this is the party that as we sit here and
we talk about them, and they hold themselves to such
high standards that they are. They are leading the culture wars.
They are, as we've mentioned before, they're the party of
unity and acceptance, and they fight for the little man
and they could they fight for the blue collar worker

(07:59):
and the those that are the small minority groups. This
is also the party that two months ago we sat
back and watched stay seated as a young boy with
cancer stood up and was praised. This is also the

(08:20):
party that is sending senators to Al Salvador, who are
defending as hard as they possibly can an MS three
gang member, accused, accused wife beater. They are hanging the

(08:41):
future of their party on such names and people that
you just scratch your head. These are the people that
will fly to El Salvador to defend gang members, to
fight them, bring them back to our tree. They're also

(09:02):
the same people that have spent more time doing that
than defending and comforting American families that have lost family
members to violence and murder by these illegals. I don't

(09:27):
have to say the names again, Lake and Riley, Rachel
Moore in Joscelyn Neugari. That's the Democrats. Those are the
people they won't defend, but they'll defend MS thirteen gang members.
And they wonder why they have a problem with polling.
They wonder. Seven fifteen on your Tuesday morning, we are back.

(09:51):
I want to talk AI, but what it is doing
and how it is affecting our young people. Learned about
something that I had not heard before. I'm gonna bring
that to you. It's quite interesting. Seven sixteen The bloom
Daddy Experience Salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Well

(10:17):
it's seven twenty one Tuesday morning. You're listening to the
blund Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
It's again Tuesday, April twenty second. Just a little bit
of trivia for you. Today is Earth Day. Today will
be environmentally conscious and just recycle wherever you did last year.

(10:42):
So as you're walking down main street, put it in
the recyclement.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
That was kind of a joke there. If it applies,
it says recycle everything you did last year, meaning like
did you do you even do anything last year?

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (10:55):
That was Those are those are? Those are little things
that I printed off. They're supposed to be funny. Oh,
they're not supposed to be actual advice.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Thank you for telling you.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
I didn't know you were going there to start with.
It's also my oldest son's birthday.

Well, hey, there you go.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
You know, it's not like I knew it wasn't coming.
Just I mean, I didn't know it wasn't coming.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Well, my birthday is in October, I don't know. Okay,
just so you have plenty of time to give me
a card.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Okay, Oh you know what we did? No, never mind,
I was thinking we missed Dave's birthday or bliom daddy's birthday.

Speaker 5 (11:53):

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Well, yeah, I think we wished them a happy birthday.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
Gerbil, there's a little Gerbils.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
No, they look like teddy bears, look like Gerbils. No,
they look like teddy bears.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Or guinea pigs.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
One of the other that was on Star Trek.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
No, those were tribbles.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, those looked like guinea pigs.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
All that was was a ball of fur they I mean,
which is a gerbil? And he The special effects in
the late sixties were not good.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
The Ewoks stood up and walked and they talked and
they look like, you're such a nerd teddy Bears. Well,
you're the ones that knew what weebels were.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
No, I said, no, tribbles tribbles. Well, I'm a Star
Trek fan.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
Well, and I'm a Star Wars fan.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
I'm a Star Wars fan too, but I'm I'm more
Star Trek.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
I think there's one problem with you, because Star Wars
is way more.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Cooler as you just britalized the English language.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Hey whatever, speaking of things like Star Trek, and we
always know I'm gonna make this transition. I'm gonna make
it work.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Listen, you wanted to interview Captain Kirk just as much
as anybody else did, I know, but.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
I really wanted to interview him because of the reality
show he did with George Foreman and everything.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Honest to God, I'm not saying it's not I'm just
saying it's not a reality show because they're never reality shows.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Well now, and he's I mean, he's Captain Kirk. Listen,
I'll give it to him.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
I mean, listen, I want the one question that I
wanted to ask him is how does it feel to
be involved in so many iconic because the Twilight Giant episode,
one of the Twilight Giant episodes he was in where
he's an airplane passenger and he's just coming from a
nervous breakdown and he sees the monster on the wing in.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
The marm Oh that's him and that Yeah, okay, and.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
You know, I just you know, that's that's like one
of the it's one of the top five Highlight Zone episodes,
one of those recognized. I mean, he was I think
he was in two. I know he was in at
least two, maybe three Twilight Zone episodes. But yeah, he uh,
but that's that's like that was like, that's like one
of the iconic ones. So it's just you know, and

(15:24):
the special effects in that is horrible as well. So
but anyway, but that was the sixties. What do you expect,
right exactly?

Speaker 5 (15:30):
You know, so they only had certain things too.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
You can only go so far, right, they didn't have
computer generated or AI or anything else.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Well, and we've gone too far with computer generated stuff
in movies some Yeah, I mean I think back to
the stuff that I watched as a kid, like The
Dark Crystal by Jim Henson, Labyrinth, those kind of things
that was done by the puppets and the puppeteers and
those artists that did that kind of stuff. They I

(15:58):
find that more entertaining that all the computer generated stuff
that they've done recently. It just doesn't have the same
It just doesn't have the same effect. Yeah, I don't think.
I I just don't care for the visuals of it.
I don't care for because you know, it's a computer.

(16:21):
You know it's fake, you know it's not real. You know,
there's no actor behind it. And speaking of films, I
don't know if you saw recently that after the absolute
crash Titanic sinking of a film, the snow White, the
real life version of snow White, which, by the way,

(16:42):
the Dwarfs and that were computer generated animated.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Which is little people.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Actors were yes, yes, they were quite irate that Disney
is going to get away from the live action. I
don't think they've been as successful. Snow White was an
absolute dumpster.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Fire because it was it was made for the woke crowd, right,
and the wok crowd is now right.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
But even prior to the dumpster fire that was Snow White,
the other ones haven't been as successful. People want to
go back to the old school animated Disney. Oh it
is seven twenty eight again. We got Pirates coming up.
That'll be here shortly. You're listening to The bloo Daddy
Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome

(17:35):
back to seven thirty six on your Tuesday, The blim
Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Before the break, somehow we got on the subject of
Star Trek, Star Wars, Captain Kirk and all of that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
They wonderful you could get him back on you still
have that contact.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
All I could hunt it down everything sort of email,
you know.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
I mean, I think it would be cool just to
be able to ask him a couple other questions. I
mean we obviously we interviewed him because he was here
for The Wrath of Khan and was doing the post
movie conversation Yes, yes, yes, Q and a whatever you
want to call it. But yeah, I mean, it would
be cool just to Yeah, I think there's so many
interesting people out there that like people don't know that.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
I was going to ask you, who would you love
to interview?

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Who would I love to interview?

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yes, I feel a musician coming on.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
Absolutely, it would be a musician. You know, I'd love
to interview Springsteen because the singer songwriter when you can
write songs, and Springsteen has written thousands and but you know,

(18:55):
I mean, you don't want to get into politics with him.
That's That's the one thing. Three I think the three
that I would like to interview are Springsteen, John Mellencamp,
and a guy by the name of Roger Klin. Oh,
I know that name, Roger Clin and the Peacemakers.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
That name again, it's on your shirt this morning, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
It is? Absolutely, I didn't even notice that. But uh,
but I mean, like some of if you listen to
his the music, like the guy like some of the lyrics. Now,
some of his songs, they are fun, don't get me wrong.
Like I mean, when he was with the Refreshments, they
did the theme song for King of the Hill, the

(19:36):
cartoon series, So they did that. But they also you know,
some of the songs that they have, like, uh, like
he talked, there's a song called Girly and it talks
about like like going to the liquor store and buy
you a really big bottle and about beating him up
and everything else. I mean, it's just I mean it's funny,
you know. There there's some there's some comedy to some
of it, and then some of them are pretty deep,

(20:00):
you know. And you know, as as a person that
like I like to consider myself somewhat creative, but I
don't know how to Like, I don't think I could
ever write a song.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, that would be tough.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
I mean I couldn't. I couldn't write the music because
I can't. I couldn't. I can play a kazoo, and
that's about it. You know, when it comes to musical instrument,
I can I can I can. I can play the
triangle probably or the cowbell. I'd be good at those. Yeah,
I'm gonna be good at the tambourine. But musically, I

(20:38):
just I mean, I have no concept to I mean
I can. I can pick out the instrument. I can
pick it. I mean, I love it. But to sit
down and actually like be able to play something, you
might as well just hold a gun to my head
because I couldn't do it.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
See, I've thought about this. I have thought about people
I would want to interview. And there's the people that
are still with us, and there are the people gone.
You know, I would love to interview Spielberg and Lucas.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
And again it's because their creativity.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yes, yeah, nothing nothing political, just of what they have
been able to accomplish, not only cinematically, but but how
they've advanced, you know, the industry. Now, somebody who has
passed that I would love, love love to interview, and
I'm going old school here, Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
That popped into my head and Elvis. See I think
i'd go.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
Prince Prince yeah, like and yeah, I don't know, I
mean just some.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Of the stories about Prince that you hear, well, yeah,
they're funny. I mean they are absolutely hysterical. Like about
when he challenged like Charlie Murphy, Eddie Murphy's brother to
a basketball game, like he said, you get your guys,
I'll get my guys. And Prince played like in those
platforms boots. He was playing basketball, and I guess he

(22:04):
scored him.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Well he's only he was only what five foot Yeah,
but he played.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
He played high school basketball, so I mean he had
he had a little bit.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
He had the skills.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
I'm not saying he was great. I mean yeah, but
he was small.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
He was a little dude.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
There was because yesterday was the anniversary of his ninth
the university of his death, and there was all kind
of tributes on Facebook, and there was one I don't
know where the concert was, but he was like in
a round and basically they didn't the the backup singer
sang like the chorus, but Prince went like full throttle

(22:36):
on the guitar to play that funky music. And it
was like like I'm sitting there watching it and I'm
just mesmerized because what he would, what he could do
with the guitar.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
There are some people that are just born with a
natural instinct for something, whether it's science, whether it's music,
whether you know there and there, and then.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
There's people like us that have zero talent whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
So so somebody's got to make the joke. The Prince
and Prince and the Pope both died on the same day. No, No, I.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
Don't see anything there. And then it's not the same
day because one was not there nine years apart, but still.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
The same day they was. Anyways, No, but yeah, it
would be interesting to be able to just have that conversation.
So say, Abraham Lincoln, you said you you've thought.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
About that puffed into my head when when you were
talking about dead people. I think Abraham Lincoln was one
of the Kennedy and Lincoln where just pupped into my
head just to.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Hear the thoughts of somebody that got our country to
where he he got it, of where it is today politically,
what the thoughts were be or one of the founding fathers. Honestly,
if they took a step, you know, there are per
respective of where our political landscape has has grown to,

(24:06):
if it would be what they want or what they
foresaw or or.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Where would they go? Holy crime? Right, what did you do?
They wouldn't say crab.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
No, they know, and they'd say it with a.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
Very what hast done?

Speaker 5 (24:31):
I was trying to think of like old English aristocratic
type of of what has done with the wigs and
the the oh gosh, yeah, and the jackets and.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
You know, I mean, if you think about it, I mean,
even if you went what would.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
They think of Fetterman and his attire?

Speaker 6 (24:54):
You know, even if you just you know, if you
think about people that you'd want to interview, like even
if you go to the dark side. But what I'm
saying is, like I mean, if you really I mean
just to just to interview somebody that was so evil
in history, like a Stalin or a Hitler or somebody
like that, just to see, what, you know, just to
see if you can comprehend what they were thinking, which

(25:18):
obviously you wouldn't because they were ye crazy, but you know,
but you know, with the good you can also interview
the evil and and just to try to like.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Understand or what was the root of that evilness, what
happened to them. I'm not making excuses, no, no, but
try to find some sort of cause and effect of
getting to that point.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
That's just totally went off the wall this whole segment.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Last segment we were talking about e walks. Now we've
made it to to Hitler Hitler installing.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
You can see where we're at.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
And I originally was going to talk about AIE and
effects on our youth. We didn't even remotely get to that.
We got to warbles.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
No, no, tribles.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Tribles, darn, I can't remember that word.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
You know, they revisited the Tribles in Star Trek Deep
Space nine.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
Did they?

Speaker 7 (26:20):
They?

Speaker 6 (26:20):
Actually, it was it was kind of cool how they
did it. I mean, it was obviously all computers or
had a lot to do with computers, but they took
the modern cast of Deep Space nine and interacted it
with the episode, the original episode of the Tribles from
nineteen sixty whatever.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
They put them in the episode.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, they so in other words, like they were on
the bridge with Captain Kirk.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
They like green screened it somehow.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
I mean, how they did it was awesome, and it's
I've only seen the episode probably once or twice, but
it's it's it's a neat episode to watch just for
the special effects and how they how they did it.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well, I'm gonna make this full circle back to the beginning.
Just a reminder coming up, we're gonna have your chance
to win a pair of tickets to see the Pirates
on a family four pack. Family four pack, I'm sorry,
family four pack of Pirates on May fourth. May the
fourth be with you. That's what started this entire trip
around the Moon of conversation.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Or the universe. Yeah. Really, we're a galaxy far far away.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Oh shoot, seven forty six coming from the starship Enterprise.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience like Otison SAM
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, Welcome Back, seventh fifty one,

(27:45):
The bloom Daddy Experience Otison SAM News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
For So, I found that video with Prince. Yeah, I
started to show it to you, Yeah, with the wild chairry.
I will send that to you so that you can
post it on our Facebook page. It's about seven and
a half minutes long. But just Prince, I mean just
the band in general. But Prince's guitar playing is just
flipping off. I mean, to this day, I would say
that Prince was the best Super Bowl halftime performance ever.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Every time I hear in the rain, oh yeah, yeah,
he's he's up there. Every time I hear the name Prince,
I think of That's how I met my husband, thanks
to a particular cocktail in Barnesville, Ohio, called the Little
Red Corvette. And that's yeah. Well we'll leave it at that.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
I'm not going there, yes, yes, yes, because if you
know what the song means, I don't never mind.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
It can tell me later.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Maybe maybe not what the Little Red Corvette is.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Oh well I can. I can venture to guess. We'll
say from your your way of saying that. First off,
shout out to Eugene. Thank you for the quick little
video of wicket that you walk. Made me smile this morning.
So not a guinea pig, so thank you. I want

(29:06):
to get into some local things. Just a little heads
up for everybody. Scammers, we talked about it last week.
They just keep coming. They just keep coming with new
ideas and new ways to try to get you, get
your money, mess with you. This is out of Brooke County.
Residents have reported being targeted by a gift card scam.

(29:28):
The caller tells people they must purchase a gift card
to avoid being arrested. Whoopsie, yes, the microphone picks up everything.
I'm sorry, let me go back here. The caller tells
people they must purchase a gift card to avoid being arrested.
Authorities are reminding everyone that the Brook County Sheriff's Office
will never call you for such a thing. I will

(29:50):
say that again, Brooke County Sheriff's Office will never call
you for such a thing. Anyone that receives a similar
phone call should contact the sheriff's office. So once again,
if you get a phone call like that, it is
not legit. It is a scam. And right now, as
we can listen all of this technology, it's great, but

(30:15):
you have to be diligent about protecting yourself, protecting your identity,
and being alert and aware. When things look questionable and
you just have that feeling that something's not right, trust
it because more than likely, I would say eighty five
ninety percent of the time, it's not right. There's something

(30:36):
something on the something a little sketchy, we'll say. We'll say,
just a follow up on a little bit of a
tie rade I had last week about a particular part
of Saint Clairsville. Outside of sheets, there was a pothole
that you could lose a small toddler in probably end
up on the other side of the world. Well, I'm

(30:57):
happy to report I was in that particular area yesterday.
They have filled it. And on top of that, the
lines are back when you leave that shopping complex to say,
go across the street, to go down to Walmart, or
to turn left or right onto Old forty. They put
the lines back so people know where to go because

(31:21):
it was a cluster. You know what if people didn't
know what to do. So the lines are back, the
pothole is filled, and we can all breathe a sigh
of relief. The pothole is filled. You're looking at me.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
No, No, I just wanted I wanted to follow up
on something. Yeah, So we were talking about prints and
everything else than when he passed away back in twenty sixteen.
It was in January because I had just gotten out
of the hospital. But Springsteen had started his River tour. Okay,
and the first song he did, which the tour opened

(31:55):
in Pittsburgh, the first song he did was Rebel Rebel
by David Bowie. Because David Bowie had just passed away.
And then like a month or two later he did
Take It Easy. That's how he opened the show because
Glenn Fry from the Eagles had passed away. And then
in Brooklyn, I think it's the Staple Center. No, no,
Staple Centers is out in LA. But whatever the Brooklyn

(32:17):
Arena is, he was there and it was the I
think it was the day after the Prince had passed away,
and he had a concert and he opened up the
show with Purple Rain, and you know, for Springsteen to
do purple Rain, like a lot of people. I have
a friend of mine does he hates Springsteen, Okay, but
he said, he said it was an awesome tribute.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Was that like the Springsteen death tour?

Speaker 6 (32:38):
That's what they said. I mean they were talking about
it because, like you know, within within January, February March April,
four months, within four months of the tour, three major
musicians passed away.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
So yeah, that's a positive.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
I mean, you can't help it. I mean, no, you don't.
But I mean, but you know, the one thing about Springsteen,
like David Bowie covered a couple of Springsteen's early songs
back in the early seventies, and so they became they
became friends very early on in Springsteen's career. So and
of course when you're in when you've been around for
fifty plus years, I'm sure you've made some friends in

(33:16):
the music industry. So I mean, like like the Eagles,
and I mean maybe he I'm sure he met Prince
obviously they I think they did. We Are the World,
you know, and all that, so you know, there were
there were things there. But I mean, but the Three Tribute,
like the Rebel Rebel was awesome. Take it easy, I mean,
and those aren't songs that like Springsteen does very well

(33:37):
because of he's got that gravelly voice.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
It doesn't it's not a good match.

Speaker 6 (33:41):
Yeah, but I mean he I mean he really he
did kill Purple Rain.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
So just heard Purple Rain. I couldn't tell you how.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
I'll send it to you. I'll send you the video, Okay,
that way you can at least check it out. I
sent you the video that we were talking about with
Prince and and I played that funky music.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
My phone was lighting up back here.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
Yeah, I just sent it to you interest. You can
post it on our Facebook page and you're gonna have
a little fun with it.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Is that what was playing through the micro?

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Well? No, actually, I forget I'd forgotten to turn the
sound off. On my on my feed, and then the
first one that I scrolled by.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
But that's the way it always works. Yeah, when you're
trying to be trying to be sneaky about things are
quiet well, and I.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Forgot my mic was on to be honest with you.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, well you have that. It happens. It happens. It's
seven fifty eight on your Tuesday. It's Earth Day. I'm
not going to do the joke again because I failed
miserably the first time. It's also National Baseball Day.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
Here you go.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
You can celebrate Baseball Day by bringing the ball game
experience home by eating a hot dog and drinking a beer.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
See number one talk 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 SEVENTYVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
News Radio eleven seventy gets the Blue Daddy experience. Hey,
it's eight six, let's get this hour rolling. Jim or Nacy,
former Congress Blue Daddy Show for the COO Analyst talking
about its well politics and Jim. I want to start
off with tariffs, because let's get a gauge at what
is going on as of right now. There's been a pause,
there's still some tariffs out there. You got some new
ones coming, including some specific to vehicles, and it's got

(35:31):
a lot of Americans reassessing their plans to buy a car,
reevaluating whether they want a new car at all given
the economic uncertainty, and also car insurance going to be
going up because of these tariffs as it stands right now,
everything you've been looking at, what's been the effect, Well.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
I think that's what it is. Boom Daddy. We have
people that are now holding back on buying new cars.
They're looking at it. I mean, my son has decided
to hold off on buying a new car. So I
think those are the kind of things that occur when
people start thinking about these tariffs and costs and so forth. Look,
we still have that ten percent terraff across the board.

(36:10):
There's still a lot of uncertainty and unpredictability. I think
when you have that, you still have people really concerned
about buying They're really concerned about buying homes buying cars,
and that's one of the reasons why the economy appears
to be starting to slow down. And by the way
gas prices are coming down, people say, well this is great.
No gas places come down when it appears that the

(36:33):
economy is starting to slow down as well.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
All right, So do you think Trump is going to
stick to his guns or do you think you'll see
more tariff relief sooner rather than later.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Well, look, I can tell you in twenty seventeen to
twenty eighteen, when I was in Washington from threaten tarrafs,
he didn't put them on and he ended up backing
off of me and getting good negotiations, you know, dealing
and getting negotiations and getting those things accomplished without doing
what he did this year. Now he really I do
think he's trying to change some additional things this time.

(37:09):
But in the end, I think there will be a
time where Trump will say, you know what, we got
what we needed. It's time to move on. I got
some of the things I wanted, and of course he'll
spin it off as it was good, and some of
it might be good. But I don't think he's going
to get everything he wants. That's just not probably going
to happen. At this stage of the game.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
All right, let's go on to this new Gallup poll
shows confidence in Democratic congressional leaders has hit an all
time low since they began surveying voters on this issue
basically twenty five years ago. Just twenty five percent express confidence,
down nine points from the previous historic low of thirty
four percent, and twenty twenty three. On the flip side,

(37:50):
nearly forty percent of respondents that they are confident in
GOP leadership in Congress. That's up two points. What would
be your advice to the Democratic Party is to what
they need to do to improve their poll numbers.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Well, look, just like anything else, I do think there'll
be somebody come out of the Democrat Party that will
be moderate mid I mean, the biggest problem they have
today is they've got AOC and Sanders out there on
representing them. That's not a good picture, that's not a
good face. And I think the best thing they can
do is just lay low. They're going to hope that

(38:24):
the economy shatters, They're going to hope that we end
up with a recession, and then there's going to be
some moderate, middle of the road Bill clintonish type for
Democrat that they need to step up and say, look,
we need to change things. We need to go do this,
do that. That's their only choice and that's their only
chance of really coming back. If they continue down this

(38:45):
path with AOC and Bernie Sanders as a front face
of the party, they're going to continue to collapse.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
So basically, what you're saying is this party needs some
new faces.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Well, yes, but I do think they have new faces.
Governor of Pencil, Governor of Maryland, governor of even Kentucky. Well, look,
the governor of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, has a seventy percent
approval rating among Republicans and Democrats. That's the type of
individual and the faith that will have to show up
to save the Democrat Party.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
All Right, Jim always appreciated, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
We have a good day.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Ahi. That's Jim or Nacy.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
All right. Let's be honest. The Democratic Party it's been hijacked.
It has been hijacked by the extreme radical left and
the youth, the younger, loudmouth squeaky wheel, those that are

(39:44):
on the campuses of Harvard and things like that. It's
been hijacked. And when you have somebody like Bernie Sanders,
teaming up with AOC. I think they're trying to create
this bridge between the divide and and it's not working.

(40:06):
It's not working at at all. They've they've lost their identity.
Like I said, they've been hijacked the message that they're
putting out there, not only by their words but by
their actions. It's it's it's a complete failure.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
Well, the Democrats are are they're trotting out Bernie Sanders,
who's a socialist and he's an independent, So, I mean,
I don't know why they're trotting him around with AOC,
but and AOC is to steal a line from bloom
Daddy is just smart enough to keep from pooping herself. Okay,
you know they are the extreme left. Okay, they're there,

(40:45):
And I heard I heard a commentator say this maybe
more than once. Okay, you can't have one party rule
because if you do, then everything, everything would be out
of whack. There has to be a happy balance. And
you know, look, you look at Shapiro in PA and

(41:09):
he's a moderate Democrat that the PA Republicans are satisfied
with the job he's doing.

Speaker 5 (41:16):
Yeah, what did they say something?

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Yeah, I think something like that. So I mean, there's
a guy that you know, could now could that translate nationally?
I don't know. But there's a guy that appears that
he's not going to go the way of AOC and
Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and all

(41:39):
those crazy wackos. But he's going to be you know,
is he a little to the left or is he
maybe twenty five percent to the left fifty percent? That's
better than one hundred percent right right, you know, And
and there's there's the there's the chance that you know,
he can see both sides of the aisle. You know,
you have politicians that are willing to do that. Most
of them are not, You're they don't want those politicians

(42:02):
in charge because it seems like we're either far to
the right or we're far to the left. Nobody wants
to kind of come to the middle and say, hey, like, look,
let's all try to work together for what's best for
the country. Yes, instead of just going well, it all
has to be this way, or it all has to
be this way. You know, you can't, you can't. It

(42:24):
doesn't work if you're on both sides, on the far
ends of the spectrum.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
The word compromise has been absolutely trampled in our government
for the most part. Yes, yes, yes, and it has
has trickled down to the people. And that's exactly like
I said, the Democratic Party, it's been absolutely hijacked. And
and once again their actions, not only their words are

(42:50):
it's they're not resonating with the American citizen. When when
we are sitting back watching leaders of the Democratic Party
fighting tooth and nail to be able to travel to
El Salvador, we are seeing them fight like nobody's business
to keep these illegal aliens, the criminals in this country.

Speaker 6 (43:18):
Because they want them to vote.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
Yes, we all know the game plan. It's not a secret.
That's why they've lost the trust and.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
That's why their their message is misinterpreted by the mass
people like these people that are out there protesting all
and what they're trying to say now is they're saying, Oh,
if you're black, they're coming for you next.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Oh yes, I heard that yesterday. What Yes, somebody said
that on Sunday Show.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
Yeah, there's even black people that are going Are you
out of your mind? Yeah, nobody's coming for us. Are
you an ill? Are you an illegal immigrant? Then they
may be coming for you. But if I'm an ill
illegal immigrant from the Ukraine, they might be coming for
me too.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Well, they're talking about, you know, snatching them off the street,
and you know, if you're a black citizen, they're gonna
snatch you off the street and send you all.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
That is fear MONGERYE yes, yes, but.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
They just do not understand. It is not resonating. It
is not resonating. When are they going to stand up
for the American citizen? That's the question, that's the question.
It's eight fifteen on your Tuesday. When we get back,
we have a visitor. We're gonna talk space again. You're

(44:32):
listening to The bloom Daddy Experience OTIS and SAM News
Radio eleven seventy w w VA. Well it's Ate twenty one,

(44:57):
The bloom Daddy Experience OTIS and Sam News eleven seventy WWVA.
So we've made it to Star Wars. We crossed onto
the Star Trek Enterprise. We covered e walks. I don't
know what else we haven't hit on.

Speaker 6 (45:15):
We talked about tribles, tribles, Yeah, get trouble with tribles.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
Well, we can go back to this last week's all
women Flight of the Jeff Bezos Blue Origin spacecraft. It
was a total success according to most, except for one
small thing. People now think it was completely fake. I
said that the Amazon founder himself is here to dispute

(45:42):
all of those claims.

Speaker 8 (45:45):
I am Jeff Bezos and guy. I've had quite enough
of these CUCU conspiracy theorists claiming that the old Babe
Blue Origin mission was faked.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
There was nothing fake about it.

Speaker 8 (45:56):
Unless you count all their fingernails, eye leshes, here, extensions,
and maybe two other things. But besides, it just makes
these women mad. You're gonna make Katy Perry singer huge
hit fight song. Huh Oh, that's not Katie Perry really huh. Anyway,

(46:16):
it was totally real and afterwards they were totally satisfied.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Trust me, I'd know if a woman was faking it.

Speaker 7 (46:27):
Carry on you.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
He didn't talk about when he faced planned trying to
get to the door.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
There is a great meme that's made its way through
Facebook multiple multiple, multiple times, and it says something to
the effect of if being in space for three minutes
makes you an astronaut, and I'm just gonna leave it
at that, but it makes you then the response is

(46:59):
then I'm a a woman's doctor. We'll just go there.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with the word. But I'm
not going there.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
No, I get yes, yes, don't need to take it
to that.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
If three minutes makes you qualified, then well they're.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
Being treated and put on this pedestal. Is like these
American heroes.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
Now listen, they didn't even pilot the crawn. No.

Speaker 9 (47:25):
They What they got to do was was it was cool, cool,
and and good for them that they are high enough
in the celebrity echelon that they get the invitation.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
Okay, great, good for you. You're special that way.

Speaker 6 (47:42):
Did you see where Wendy's wants to sue or Katy
Perry wants to sue Wendy's because they said, can we
send her back? What do you suit over? It's just
a comment.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
And what her did they say Katie Perry? Did they
just say her?

Speaker 6 (47:55):
What was the picture of her?

Speaker 7 (47:56):
So?

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Oh okay, I didn't realize the picture was there?

Speaker 6 (47:59):
Okay, I think it was her kissing the ground.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
Okay, then that's pretty. That's pretty.

Speaker 6 (48:04):
I mean, but I mean it's just, I mean, you
can't sue overy that. There's nothing now, you know, there's
no there's no libel or or there's nothing like no defamation.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
Right, But let's let's stop putting them on this pedestal
of heroism. For because they got to ride the coolest
roller coaster that's available right now to mankind, Like, it's
not it's not that big of an accomplishment. They're lucky,
they I mean it is, but I.

Speaker 6 (48:35):
Mean they didn't. How many people can say that they've
been in space, right, but they.

Speaker 5 (48:38):
Didn't build the rocket. They're not active, they're.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
Not rocket scientists. Yes, they're not astroni right.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Yes, but we continue to paint them. It's it's just gotten.
If we want to brag about women and accomplishments, let's
brag about actual female astronauts that don't get the accolades
and you don't know their names. Let's talk about them.
But no, we don't. We don't speaking of space. So listen,

(49:08):
I'm in the advertising world. Not a secret. There's too
much at this point. It's everywhere. Every time you turn around,
you are being fed some sort of advertising, whether it's
an image, whether it's a sound, whether it's it's always there,

(49:29):
always you go to the grocery store, it's on the
grocery carts. You go to a movie, it's the beginning.

Speaker 6 (49:35):
It's the beginning of a movie, sting event, it's on
the uniform.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
Yeah, it's everywhere. Well, now China has come up with
an even new form that will take over our skies.
So they have created a drone pattern that is projected
that once the drones are in the air, they rejected

(50:00):
a q R QR code into the sky. People then
can scan it with their phones and download a video game.
Now that's that's to download a game. But what can
now happen with these QR codes is they can now
take these drones and how they're making these shapes and

(50:22):
forms and using QR codes. They could then take those
drones and create an advertising mensi uh an advertising mension
or graphic where they could go up there and put
up I don't know, say the McDonald's arches, and then
put a QR code below the arch and you know,
scan this, scan this QR code.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
You know where. That won't work. Can walk a ranch,
it won't work there because they can't get the drones
that go up in patterns.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
That's true, that's true. But it comes down to when
is enough enough? When when does when does something go
too far. This is too far to even even think
that we are going to take the beautiful evening skies.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
Yeah, but how long is he going to be there
and plaster?

Speaker 5 (51:15):
Well? Either way, who.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
Wants to look at that minutes where you don't have
to look at it?

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Yeah, and I don't listen. I think it's way too far.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
And I just thought of something going back. We're gonna
go back a couple of segments. Travis Taylor. That's another
interview of the scientist. Yeah, okay, I'm like, that's a
that's a the brain I'd love to pick.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
I'm like, who's Travis Taylor? I thought you meant to
say Travis Trick because you're talking about interviewing Travis Taylor.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
That I mean like he's on Ancient Aliens, He's on
Skinwalker Ranch. Anything that has to do with space, he's
on it.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
He is a rocket scientist.

Speaker 6 (51:54):
Yes, yes, amongst other things.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
He was on the panel for the Alien Investigation. No no, no, no, no, no,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (52:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah for the God he couldn't but he
couldn't tell the people with Skinwalker Ranch, and he was on.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
That until afterwards, right, Yeah, So no, he is an
actual scientist.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
I'd love to pick his brain.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
Well, on that note, get your car, get your call.
We're gonna jump to a break. It's eight twenty eight.
The Blue Daddy Experienced samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA,
we are back on your Tuesday is Otis very disco easy. Yes,
he's in there doing his best John Travolta Saturday Night

(52:38):
fever kind of.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
Sometimes the music gets you.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
Finger point and thing. Watch how you point that finger.

Speaker 6 (52:44):
I'm a music guy.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Get a still picture and say you're doing the Hitler salution.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
Whatever you know.

Speaker 5 (52:50):
So last night I was scrolling through some social media.
I saw this video. Listen. You know, sometimes I hate humans.
I'm just gonna say it. I hate some hates a
very strong word. There are certain people in this world
that are vile creatures, and this guy is a prime example,

(53:10):
prime example. There's a guy in Las Vegas. The Metro
Police are currently looking for him. There is video of
him driving up to a random street, a community street,
not in town, it's just a residential street, carrying a

(53:31):
chihuahua by its leg it's alive, and very forcefully throwing
this poor dog into a dumpster. Neighbors saw it. It
was caught on a ring camera some sort of surveillance

(53:51):
of a residence and rescue the dog. But they are
currently looking for this gentleman. I understand it's a dog.
I understand it's not a human. And there are people
that don't feel exactly the same way as I do
for people that do this kind of stuff. I think

(54:15):
what is done to the animals should be done to
the person. Take this man and hang him by the ankle,
I don't know, over the side of the highway for
twenty four hours. Just let him hang there.

Speaker 6 (54:27):
There's there's there's two kinds of people that I don't like.
If you are a if you abuse a child in
any way, or you abuse an animal in any way, look,
I'm off. You know, hey, look if you want to
go hunting and you get a deer or turkey or whatever, yeah,
you know you're you're doing it in a humane way.
I mean, you're taking that that animal out normally in

(54:49):
a humane way. And you know, if you are that person,
you're doing it for a reason. You're doing it for
the meat, or you're doing it for you know, there's
a sport in it there as well.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
There's a there's this. There's a respect, yes, in a way,
a respect for life, a respect for like you said,
the sport behind it.

Speaker 6 (55:05):
But when you torture an animal, and I hate cats,
I'll be the first person to admit it.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Okay, I am not a cat person either.

Speaker 6 (55:13):
But I will not If if I see you torturing
a cat, I will, I will, I will knock you out.
There's a story. I can't remember where I heard the story.
It might have been Janis Dean from Fox News. A
little boy, a young boy, I'm not gonna say little,
but a young boy saw a bunch of kids torturing
a cat and he went over and stopped them, or

(55:37):
tried to stop them, and they said, we'll stop if
you give us your skateboard. He gave him their skateboard
so he could save the cat. Or it might have
been a kitten, and he he had they adopted. He
adopted the cat. It obviously has some permanent injuries. But
I guess when the local skateboard shop found out, they

(56:01):
donated a new skateboard doing his choice. So for his
kind actions.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Yeah, yeah, Like I said, when I see things like this,
it just makes me. It makes me ill, It makes
me stick to my stomach because when we are talking
about domesticated animals, whether it's a cat, whether it's a dog,
oh matter right, they they depend on us. And if
you have a pet at home, and I have I've

(56:26):
said this before, they are so happy to see you
when you come home. They're happy, They're excited every time
you come home. They depend on us for for they
we are their person. They almost mark us in a
way when they're when they are your pet. And the
fact that there are people out there that can look

(56:49):
into the eyes of like this little chihuahala or the
person I don't know if it was probably more than
five years ago, the person on Wheeling Island that the
to the shitsu they set it on fire. I believe
it was God. I can't remember the entire story. Absolutely
horrible case. I have no sympathy. I have no concern

(57:17):
for what happens to individuals that do this kind of stuff, none, none, whatsoever. None.
And for somebody who now has adopted an animal that
came from a very horrible circumstance and we are still
in the process of fighting a lot of her her

(57:42):
not physical injuries, but actually like mental it's it's painful
it's terrible to see. But again, people who hurt animals
and do this kind of stuff like this guy in
Vegas again tossing a chihuah Wah by its leg into
a metal dumpster hanging hanging off the side of the
road by the ank. See how it feels, See how

(58:03):
it feels. I just I can't stand. I can't stand
people that do that kind of stuff. Can't stand it.
And there's plenty of animals in this world that need
that need assistance, that need help. But if you don't
want the animal, find somebody that'll take it, because there's
plenty of people out there that would take it. If
you no longer want it, do the right thing, and

(58:26):
what this guy did, in no way, shape or form
was the right thing at all. Just transition a little
bit over to Florida. Usually when we have stories out
of Florida, they're crazy, some stupid criminal, some off the wall,
can't make this stuff up type of story. Well not

(58:49):
this guy. I may actually have to stop because of
his story. It's Florida man, decide. He walked in and
randomly bought a scratch off ticket, which everybody, you know,
tons of people do every single day. H he won
twenty five million dollars off a scratch off. Oh okay,

(59:12):
five hundred bucks. Yeah, I'd be thrilled if I if
I want a dollar on those things, I'm pumped. Twenty
five million dollars. His name is Kyle Linquist. He played
what was called the five hundred Times the Cash Game.
So it's one of those bigger ones with the multiple

(59:33):
ways of winning and that kind of thing. He was
forty five years old. He decided to take the one
time lump sum payment of sixteen million instead of the
what is it they do it annually? Is that how
they do it?

Speaker 6 (59:48):
They do it every time? Yeah, So what they'll do
is like they might give it to you over like
twenty twenty five, thirty years or something like that. That's
how I would. I mean, I I don't know if
I've got thirty years left. I mean that puts me
at eighty eight. And I've already pushed it a couple
of times, so, like, you know, I'm on borrowed time
as it is.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
How many lives do you you know?

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
Yeah, I mean I think I'm on six or seven.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
And you just said you're not a cat person.

Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean so.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
I think what I would do in that situation is
I would claim it with my kids and say, hey,
we all we were all in on this together. And
then that way, if something you set it up that
if something happens that to me, then they get Instead
of dividing it by three for X amount of years
we divide it by, they would divide it by two
and then they'd be guaranteed to get that money. Do

(01:00:38):
you imagine though, But I mean, would you wouldn't you
rather have just to say, just throw it out there,
like a million dollars a year for twenty five years,
knowing that you have that coming in and because if
you get it all on one mum sum, you know,
you can invest it and do whatever you want. But
I can also do that with a million dollars. I
can take twenty five, you know, or two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars and invest it and then and then

(01:01:01):
it's earning interest while I'm you know, doing other things,
and then I know I've got another million coming next year.
I would rather do it that way.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
How many times would you look at that ticket going wait?

Speaker 6 (01:01:12):
Well, after I recovered from fainting.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
Wait, am I reading this right, No, I'm drunk. No, wait,
that's what it is.

Speaker 6 (01:01:21):
It would just be it would be I mean like
it would be life changing, there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
God, Oh, it would be awesome, absolutely awesome. All right,
now it's time to go buy a scratch off and
if we have any around here that hit twenty five million, No,
I don't think so. I don't think there's any of
that high.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
I don't know not in West Virginia.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
I can tell you that coming up. When we forgot to.

Speaker 6 (01:01:46):
Do the ticket, No, we didn't forget, we just moved
it back.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
Yeah, we're gonna move it back. So that's gonna be
coming up here at the end of the show. There
you go, it's going to be at the end of
the show. We're not teasing you.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
We're not May supposed to be last segment. We ran
out of time.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
So anyways, anyways, for family for tickets to see the Pirates, that's.

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):

But before we're done, we got to talk to our man,
Kevin Cook's job on a motive.

Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
Good morning, Kevin, Good morning guys. How y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
Wonderful?

Speaker 7 (01:02:43):
Wonderful, wonderful?

Speaker 5 (01:02:48):
Of course, it's wonderful.

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
It is how you doing. It's gonna be a great
way man. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I hear you all talking
a lot about tariffs, and there's a lot of a
lot of tariff talk this morning. Roll there, yeah, a
little bit, a little bit, but hey, great thing about
it right now, the pricing that we have is tear free, okay,

(01:03:11):
and especially when you start looking at you know, Forward Cross,
the Dodge, Jeep and rain all right. Not only do
they have tar free pricing, they also have employee pricing.
You pay what the employees of Ford with pay. You
pay what the employees of stolanthus which is christ or Dodge,
deep and round with pack. Okay. These prices have not

(01:03:33):
been available since I think it was two thousand and eight, right,
take advantage of this now. Yeah. Well, like I said,
you know, when we start talking about tariffs, you know
the only thing that we can guarantee you is the
price that we have today, all right, and everyone can

(01:03:53):
you know, we can all speculate, and you know, we
can all try to guess what Trump's going to do,
and we can all got to guess what they make
facturers are going to do. But the only thing that
is sharting right now is the price of the vehicles
that are on the ground, all right. And you know
if they go up, when they go up, all right,
you know, we'll deal with the then, But for right now,

(01:04:15):
we can guarantee you great pricing every day of every
vehicle right here on the ground today.

Speaker 6 (01:04:23):
Absolutely. And then what is it what you say when
you trade in your car will be worth what is
it that the most it's going to be today?

Speaker 7 (01:04:31):
It will never be worth more than what it is
it is, right.

Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
I knew, I knew it was something like that because
I've heard that line a few.

Speaker 7 (01:04:37):
Times put on vehicles they're depreciating, you know, I mean,
everybody knows that. Right now. You know, the used car
market is kind of stabilized because you know, uh, it's
going to be affected somewhat by you know, the parts
that are going to go up over the next few months.
You know, the tariffs that are going to be are
definitely going to affect that, and that's going to affect

(01:04:59):
used car rec conditioning, which will ultimately affect used car pricing.
All right, but right now we've got eleven hundred and
fifty one vehicles on the ground that are priced tear free.
They're priced with prices that we haven't seen, like I said,
since two thousand and eight, take advantage of this situation
right now. If you were even thinking about a vehicle

(01:05:21):
within the next year or even two years, all right,
we will figure out a way to put the deal
together for you. It's an awesome time to buy a vehicle.
Come on out see for yourself.

Speaker 6 (01:05:30):
Today, and don't forget ever.

Speaker 7 (01:05:32):
Drive don't forget ever drive the only Deilder into values

vehicle purchase, as well as every pre owned vehicle with

at any point in time, did you just stop and yell?
Are you not entertained?

didn't take place in the Colosseum, it took place on
one of the outer uh before they went to the Colisseum.

Wow, I did have. My hair was a little longer
