Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, congrats, that's huge. Listen there, listen. The athletes put
time and energy in the practice and everything into it,
but so did the parents. The parents put a lot
of dedication, a lot of effort, a lot of time,
a lot of driving, a lot of money, a lot
of miles to get kids to a certain level, especially

(02:05):

Superhero d nice. So I put this out here on
our Facebook page that it is National superher Hero's Day.
So tell us who is your favorite superhero character?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, and then fictional fictional.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
And then your favorites, not favorite, your superhero personally in
your life.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Your real life superhero. If you have one, yes, yeh,
which almost everybody does.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I would think, I would hope, I would.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Hope, or they might have multiple ones.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, some who has done something special for you, somebody
that has been an integral part of you turning into
the adult that you've turned into.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Nobody wants credit for that.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
For me, within reason, I guess. But yeah, what's your
favorite superhero?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So give us I'm an adult.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, technically, numerically you are, yeah, uh, mentally and.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Behavioral, oh, I'm a twelve year old.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well you are also of the male species, so persuasion. Yeah,
So when it comes to that side of the conversation,
you're not really unique.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know, there's a meme out there that says something
about my mind my mind thinks I'm in my twenties.
My body or my mind thinks I'm in my twenties. Mentally,
I'm still twelve years old. But physically I feel like
a Civil War veteran. There's something to that nature.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Wasn't that that's sort of a male thing anyways.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Which is not far from being the truth.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, no, no, no, Sometimes your your gender just confuses
the heck out of me. But it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'm not even going down that race.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Selective hearing. It's an amazing superhero quality that all men have.
I saw that see selective hearing right there.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm listening. I'm just not commenting. No, no, because we're
not going down that road.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well, as I said, it is National Superhero Day. It's
a day that honors both real and fictional superheroes who
have made a positive impact on people's lives. Okay, so
who would who is your Who's your favorite.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Fictional Mighty Mouse? Here I come to save the day.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Mighty Mouse is here Tuesday. Isn't that all good?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Mighty Mouse is on his way or here to stay
or something.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I love Mighty Mouse as a cartoon. I don't know
if I would say is my favorite super my favorite
superheroes is it's Superman.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Growing up, mine was Batman.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Batman.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, there was something, but I grew up in the
I grew up in the area where in the era
where the Adam West Burtward Batman series from the sixties
was being rerun, like in the afternoons after school. So
when you're four, five, six, seven years old and that's

(05:22):
your superhero that you see every day, that's that's who
you went to. That's who I went to. I thought Batman.
I thought Adam West Batman was As a kid, I
thought it was the coolest thing. Ever. Now I started
watching a little bit yesterday and realized how campy that
show is.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Oh yeah, pow, crack, crunch, any adjective that you can
throw in there that has a sound effect to it.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh, my, my, my favorite. It's it's Superman. I mean,
he's the original.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Mmm? Is he the original? Yes, it's here. It's either
he or Batman is first because they can.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Superman is the original Superhero?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, Captain America.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
No, nope, Superman look nope.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Did you look it up?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yep? I know the history, trust me, Superman, So you
and Jerry Seinfeld is the original Superhero.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I just yeah. The thing I didn't like about Superman
I loved super Friends. The cartoon is a kid, So
that was Batman.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
All of them together.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Batman, Robin, Superman, Aquaman, wonder Woman, and then they threw
in a handful of guests every once in a while.
But yeah, I mean, the original super Friends was one
of my favorite cartoons. It's still on. There's a me
TV tune station and I think it comes on at
four o'clock every day. So every once in a while
I'm home ing, guess what gets turned on? Super Friends?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Always? I remember I always felt bad for Aquaman and
super Friends because he didn't really do anything except for
ride around on that sea horse. But he was always
like with the super Friends, They're like, oh yeah Aquaman.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, He's like, come on, he's not our special Friends.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You're part of our group. Come on.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
That was the inclusion part. Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell you
another one. Another good superhero that I loved growing up.
Underdog Oh yeah, always talked in rhymes.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I wouldn't consider them superheroes.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Though, Oh Mighty Mouse and Underdog. Underdog was a superhero.
You always say poly purebread.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Okay, okay, I'm just I'm verifying some stuff here.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Recently, recently as far as like the movies and everything
goes marvel.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Is oh Dominus crush. Yes, see this is where I
get real technical. So, who did you say Batman? Okay,
for the grand scheme of things, Batman is a super superhero,
but to me he isn't. Because a superhero has special
abilities that they're born with. And this is where DC

(08:03):
differs from Marvel because the majority of Marvel characters are
scientifically created, where the majority of d C comic characters
are they're born with their special abilities.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yes, yeah, so I would compare Batman on the DC
side is the Tony Stark iron Man on the Marvel side. Yes,
because they're both rich. They both are very smart and inventive,
and then so they invent their superpowers.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, yeah, it's more technology than it is.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yes, personal.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
While we went really deep with.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
This, Yeah, like this week, it's like we're teaching a
class on superheroes.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay. Superman was invented, was brought to life in nineteen
thirty eight. Okay, Batman followed in nineteen thirty nine.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
DC got shortened from Detective comics. That's what they that's
what they premiered on Detective comics.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Okaymics. Yeah. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel from Cleveland,
along with a partner Joe Schuster and that that legality,
the lawsuit and all that. There's a whole documentary on
that whole. Yeah, there is tons into that. So call
us one hundred sixty to forty eleven seventy. Who's your

(09:20):
favorite superhero fictional and then real life? If you've got one,
hopefully you do call us one hundred sixty too for
eleven seventy or of course it is on our Facebook page.
We have a couple of things coming up throughout the show.
Our friends are from BEUNBLT Savings Bank will be joining
us talking finances that's coming up, and then of course

(09:40):
we're going to have a couple chances for you to win,
so stick with us. It is seven point fifteen on
your Monday. You're listening to the Bloom Diddy Experience. Sam
and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Seven on your Monday,

(10:03):
blim Daddy Experienced. Camon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
During the break, we got a call. We did superheroes. Yeah,
somebody's National Superhero Day. Everybody.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
So a gentleman called in and said that, he said,
what about Buster Crabb as Flash Gordon. Buster Crabb was
the actor Slash Olympian that played Flash Gordon with the
Flowing Back in the thirties. So what a predated Superman.
But I'm not sure if Flash Gordon falls under a
superhero category other than he might be like a science

(10:38):
fiction hero. But I don't know if he's a superhero.
I guess. I guess it all depends on who you ask.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
To me. It falls under the world of like Star
Trek in a way.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I mean, he was the guy that went through the
galaxy and saved the galaxy. Well yeah, so, I mean
I guess technically he could be considered a superhero.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I just want to know who I need to ask Ai.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I know nothing about Ai.
So let me see. I'll google it and see show
your age.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Who else is hearing the theme song in their head
right now?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
From the Queens? I know you are from the seventies
movie or the early eighties.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
How does it go? Flash Ah? Come on, everybody knows.
Everybody knows that song? Everybody, everybody, everybody. But no, the
reason we're talking about Flash Gordon is it's it's National
Superheroes Day, so we're having some fun with it. You know,
who is your favorite superhero fictional and then also one

(11:37):
in real life. I said super Superman's my favorite. You
said Batman.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
I said Mighty Mouse.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
But okay, Mighty Mouse slash Batman.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
According to my answer on Google, it says Flash Gordon,
not to be confused with the Flash, is one of
America's earliest superheroes.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, accord to Google.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Whatever. Yeah, well, let's see here. It talks about the
nineteen eighty Space Opera superhero film Space Opera.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, we had that on VHS growing up, and I
can't tell you how many times my brother watched that
movie over and over and over again. You're deep in
thought in there.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
I'm looking.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
There's so many Oh yeah, everybody's got an opinion.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, there's just so many answers there. From what I
can see, most of them are saying they're listening as
a hero slash superhero blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
So it didn't have like powers like auer.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
It started off as a comic strip. And then back
in the thirties, you know they did when you went
through the movies, they had the serials, you know, So
what you would do is you would go to the
movie and then I mean, Batman was a part of
this too in the early late thirties, early forties, maybe
Superman too. But when you would go to the movie
would get like a you would get like a fifteen

(13:03):
minute serial that would continue the next week, So that
drew you back to the theater the following week and
then and they had several of those, and then sometimes
the cartoons like the old Mary Melodies and Bugs Bunny
would play. So you went in and you got that
for like five or six minutes. Then you got the cereal,
then you got something else, and then you got the
feature film. Okay, okay, And that's how they that's how

(13:24):
they got you back into the into the into the theater.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, we got it. We got a listener email from
Stacy says favorite superhero Thor ok for obvious reasons. I'm
I'm assuming she's referring to the Australian actor.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, and before pre fat Thor remember when he got
Fat and the Avengers.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh, what is his name? What is his name?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Names Worth?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Chris, that's it. Oh, look at you.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
But when I was a kid, and you know, we
used to sell magazines when you were in school. That's back,
and you go door to door and sell magazines to
raise money for your.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
School antiquated okay, go ahead, and.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
They had these little slips you had to fill out
and then you turned them in with the check or whatever.
So anyway to try to win prizes. My mom would
always let me get a couple of magazines, so I
always got the comics books that I subscribed to were
Fantastic four and Thoor. Those were the ones that I
got in the mail.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Fantastic Four. There's a new movie coming out, and then
there's a new version of Superman coming out with the
lead actor is I have no idea who he is? So, okay,
you're a Batman fan. Who's your favorite Batman version?

Speaker 3 (14:44):
So I really haven't seen it in the movie the
Christian Bale ones. I mean I have, but I haven't.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay, okay, the Dark Knight series.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I think it has to go to Michael Keaton other
than Adam West. Adam West is the only Batman.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, yeah, that's that's kind of the comparison of that
Ye version. Yeah. See, for me, Batman is Christian Bale.
The Dark Knight series that was done by Christopher Nolan
is such a different tape and it stands alone. It's
unique that way. The biggest bust the Robert Pattinson that

(15:23):
just came out. I mean it was just it was bad.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
See, I don't I don't even know that one. Yeah,
Chris is Christian Bale. He was the one with Heath
Ledger as the Joker. Yes, okay, yes, yeah, yeah, I've
seen that one with yeah, and and I mean, yeah,
Christian Bale is good. But I kind of liked I
kind of liked the two with Michael Keaton and Nicholson
because Nicholson and then Danny DeVito.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh yes, the Penguin.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Uh and then Arnold Schwarzenegger. But that wasn't that wasn't
what's his name? No? That was that was Val Kilmer,
I think, or no, George c.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes, when and they had a Robin with that one.
We gotta call, we gotta call. So I'm gonna let
him answer that phone. But who was your favorite Batman? Listen?
This is fun? This is fun?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
What just laughing? This is fun.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I can talk superheroes all day long.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
I will say this.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm letting my like.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
What I like about the Avengers and what I like
about Captain America and the Iron Man movies. Is that
Captain America and in Tony Stark they have attitudes like
they're a little snarky. Yeah, you know, like I can't
remember which Avengers I think was the very first Avengers
when when Captain America is they're all huddled around fighting

(16:42):
the aliens and he says, okay, he says, if you
get knocked down, get back up, if you get killed,
shake it off, or something like that. I mean, it's
just something. There's just some stupid lines in there that
are funny.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Well and that and and that's Robert Downey Jr. And
his delivery.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I mean he's this tiny guy playing a superhero, but
a rich, obnoxious super I mean, he just he played
that role so perfectly. And then he's coming back as
a bad Yeah, as a bad guy. So that'll be
an interesting twist to see how he lays that out.
But that's the one thing about Marvel that I'm glad
that they did. They've taken a break from all that

(17:25):
entire all of those movies. They took a break, which
was needed because they were all starting to become a
bit repetitive. I guess where it was. It was oversaturating
of the market. And I'm glad that they see that
they've taken a break. But I'm going to back up
Stacy with the thor actor Mine Henry Caville Cavil, I'm sorry, Superman.

(17:47):
He's the best Superman to look at. I'll say that.
It's seven twenty eight. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience.
We get back. Let's talk the draft here on news
radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back, seven Daddy Experienced. Sam
and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. You're you're grinning

(18:11):
about something. What do we got?

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, we had a phone call during the break, okay,
and said, since bloom Daddy is not here, huh, he
wanted to chime in on bloom Daddy's favorite superhero. And
there is only one.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Okay, wonder what and it has to be this one.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Look here, look who it is. It has to be
the Linda Carter version of wonder Woman. Ah, he is,
We actually have a wonder Woman doll in a box. Yes,
that is bloom Daddy's and it is the Linda Carter version.
But he is one absolutely correct.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Who is the caller?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, he just said no, He just said, I just
want to speak up for bloom Daddy since he's not there.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I was going to say, hats off to you, mister caller.
You you got on, yes you did. Yet we completely
we botched that one. We missed that one.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Well, we weren't even thinking about bloom Daddy because he's
you know, he's not here, so.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, he's traveling.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, we just you know, out of sight, out of mind.
We don't miss him anyway. Wow, Okay, that's me taking
a jab.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, I get.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
A three months of the bus every once in a while, all.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right, talking about being thrown under the bus. Who was
thrown under the bus this weekend? Goodness, Schardore Sanders and.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
The Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
What's a circus theme song? Bring the circus back to Cleveland,
Ladies and gentlemen, here it comes. Gosh. Oh anyways, Yes,
as you heard, Shadoor Sanders was chosen with their last
pick of the draft by the Cleveland Browns. He dropped
to pick number one forty four. I believe it was.
I had that right in front of me, and what

(19:53):
did I do with it? Who knows? Let's see here. Yes,
he was picked one four overall by the Browns. There
were five QBS picked ahead of him. Now everybody is
going to speculate for the next how many weeks of
why this happened, and I don't think we're ever going

(20:16):
to know. I have my opinion. My opinion is when
I read things like this, Coach Prime aka Daddy Sanders
had this to say, I have a few theories about
why this happened, but I'm not going to give y'all
a headline. I'll adjust the current situation, correct it, and

(20:37):
correct it as needed. I promise it will be handled accordingly.
Shador don't take note back seat to any QB. This
was his statement on his first meeting with Cleveland. So
if Dion Sanders is planning on going to Cleveland and
being the first meeting with his son with his new employe,

(21:01):
that right there is the problem. That is why he
was passed upon by multiple multiple teams. Now when I
saw the pick, when I saw that we picked Dylan
Gabriel from Oregon, I thought, Okay, we're out of the
QB conversation. This is over with. Boy was I wrong.
When I saw it pop up on my phone that

(21:23):
we picked him. There were a few for letter words
that came out of my mouth. But taking a step back, listen,
he was on the everybody's draft boards, in the top
five when you listen to the talking heads. He was
up there first or second QB to be taken, and
he plummeted plummeted. So for a value pick, I get it.

(21:50):
I can't blame the Browns, but we shall see. All
I know is the circus is coming back to Cleveland
and here we go again. My fellow Browns fans was
not happy. I will say this, the Browns during picked
an undrafted free agent. I gotta give him this. The

(22:11):
name is awesome. His first name is d'Artagnan. I mean,
how many how many people nowadays do you see name d'Artagnan.
So I thought that was funny. But listen again, this
wasn't a really fireworks type of draft. It was. It
was pretty mundane. Honestly. I thought the Browns went with

(22:33):
defensive tackle. As we mentioned on Friday, I believe handpicked
by Miles Garrett, and that's why we were able to
re sign Garrett linebacker, two running backs, another two qbs,
and a tight end. I believe for Browns fans out there,
that signals the fact, the possible fact that they will
not resign Nick Chubb. I hate to see that happen.

(22:55):
I love Nick Chubb. I love the player he is,
I love the attitude, I love what he brings to
that team, and I love the human that he is.
He's not flashy, he is not a standers. He doesn't
wear the chains and all of that kind of stuff.
That's what I love about Nick Chubb. The Steelers, on
the other hand, they also had a pretty quiet type

(23:17):
of draft. Also, let's see here, defensive tackle out of Oregon,
a running back, an edge rusher, defensive tackle, Will Howard,
quarterback from a highest state. That's who I wanted. I
would take a six foot two hundred and sixty pound
quarterback under over a six foot one, two hundred and
five pound quarterback. But you know, hey, that's just me.

(23:38):
Or a five to eleven quarterback from Oregon. But again,
they don't call me. From my opinion, so nothing real, real,
flashy at all. The story that is kind of flying
under the radar with the Steelers on a national level.
Around here, they're talking about it. The first pick, Derek
Harmon in the story about his mother. I mean, listen,

(24:01):
he was picked. He drove to the hospital to tell
his mom that he had been picked, and and she passed.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I mean, yeah, she was.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
She was not doing well when the draft started, but
she made it through the draft and found out that
her son was drafted in the first round.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, she was on life support.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
And you know it's a that's a pretty touching story.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, talk about a river of emotions. Yeah, in under
twelve hours probably for that night. Yeah, for that young
man to go.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Through, Yeah, I mean it's it's always hard, but if
you if you know it's coming, it makes it just
a little bit easier. And sometimes sometimes you know, if
you don't want anybody to suffer, so you know, maybe
it's like that blessing in disguise. But at least she
went on knowing that her son was drafted has.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Huge things ahead of him. And you know what I
think that shows not to get too deep and too
crazy emotional, but the power of a mother, the strength
of a mother to hang on until she finds out
and he can tell her personally that he was drafted
into the NFL, and then she lets go. I mean

(25:20):
think about that, right, Think about that She held on
to hear those words and then she let she let go.
Amazing story. Amazing, amazing story. Some of the some of
the ratings that the Talking Heads Sports Illustrated graded the
Steelers with an A in the draft, same thing from

(25:45):
NFL dot Com gave him an A. The Browns got
an A minus and a B plus, so pretty much
neck and neck basically the same grade. Bengals. Sports Illustrated
gave them a D minus in their draft picks. NFL
dot Com gave them a B minus, So that's pretty

(26:05):
pretty polar opposite in those grades. And then the Ravens
got a B and an A. So I don't I
don't know the whole shador standards thing. I think it's
been blown out of context at this point. I will
say the prank call, I get it. People think it's funny.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
It's not funny. It's not fun it's vicious. Yeah, it's
just that's that's rude, and that's cruel. Yeah, in a way,
I mean, just let's just be honest. That's that's cruel.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
It is. It is cruel. And I'm hearing I'm hearing
differing sides to who he is as a young man.
I am hearing reading from coaches that did interviews for
pro teams with him saying that you know, he was
the worst interview they've ever had. He has an ego problem,
he's entitled. And then you read articles from coaches that

(27:01):
have coached him and people that have been in his
life saying that he is not like that whatsoever. But
then you see video where he has an entire camera
crew documenting his entire life, but.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
He does that. Is he doing that or is his
dad doing it?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
You see what I'm saying. I mean, a kid that's
twenty one, twenty two years old, I mean, unless they're
a total a hole, you got to give him the
benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, but then you saw he had this closet and
built kid.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, I mean I get it. But I mean here's
the thing. He's able to do that and that, and
that kind of gives a sense of entitlement and unfortunately,
you know, maybe that came back to bite him in
the rear end.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, here's what I'm hoping. He got a big old
slice of humble pie over the weekend as a Browns fan.
That's what I hope. That's what I hope comes out
of this seven forty six. You're listening to the bloom
Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
One.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Welcome back on your Monday, A bright and sunny Monday.
Looking out here, man, the sun is shining. It just
popped out here in downtown Wheeling. You're listening to the
bloom Ditty Experience, samon Otis. I'm all excited about all
the sunshine. Otis there you go, you have Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
I just want to mention something real quick here. If
you ever were at a West Liberty basketball game or
went to West Liberty State College or West Liberty University,
depending on when you were there, you may remember the
name all Of Turner. She was a little feisty redhead
that lived in her basically her entire life in West Liberty.

(28:49):
We've talked about her on this show before on her birthday,
and you know, last year, West Liberty Basketball gave her
an award for, you know, her her dedication to the
basketball program. She would pull players ninety some years old.
She would pull players aside and tell them what they
were doing wrong and what they were doing right. Very

(29:11):
rarely missed a home game. And when they gave her
the award, the Fairmont State coach came over and congratulated
her and said a few nice things to her, you know,
along the way, and I guess, you know, she thanked
him and said, that's okay, I still can't read for you,
or I still don't like you, or something to that nature.
But she was a little fire She was a retired

(29:32):
school teacher in High County schools, a great family person,
very religious. And she passed away over the weekend and
West Liberty University and the town of West Liberty will
not be the same without her.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
So did she always sit in the same spot.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, they need the she had. She had her own
reserve seat. And one of the jokes in our thread,
I don't know if it was a joke, but one
of my friends that they should maybe just permanently endow
that seat in her name.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, that's gonna say. They need to put a placard
or something.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
She was a she was a pistol. She was a
little redheaded lady, and she was a fireballer.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I mean she liked a part of you too.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh yeah, yeah. On her ninetieth birthday, we went up
to her celebration and and my mom was on one
side of her, and I was on the other side,
and she had her hand on my rear end. And
I kind of jokingly said, mom, all of has her
hand on my butt, and all of his response was, well,
how about returning the favor. It's been a while. So

(30:39):
but great great she was a you know, a mother,
great grandmother, a grandmother, great grandmother, and a great great grandmother.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
So loved her family. And how old ninety ninety five
just turned ninety five in February. Wow. So she she
will be missed, no doubt. Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Well a great life, what a great story.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
It's a good run. Ninety five is a good run.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Imagine how many basketball games.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oh, she used to tell us when we played high
school basketball what we were going wrong. I mean, she
was the I mean she's just I mean, I don't
think I've ever seen I don't think I've ever been
around a nicer lady. Does she go to boys and
girls or mostly she went to the men's games, But
she would, she would venture, she would. Eric Burkle, the
baseball coach, sometimes would send the golf cart up to

(31:27):
get her so she could come down and watch a
baseball game. Because she lived right behind the baseball field
in West Liberty, so it's you know, she would go
to football games, she was on she was part of
the alumni. She was on the West Liberty Town Council
at one time. She's you know, a member of the
West Liberty Christian Church. I mean, just her her community
involvement was incredible.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I wonder if she's part of the generation where she
didn't have the opportunity to play sports.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I have I'd have to ask her son. I'm speculating here,
but I'm gonna guess if she did. It was it
was the infant stages of anything like that for girls.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yes, so she gravitated and this was her way of
being a part of.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
And keep in mind, she went to small school, so
like she went to I think she went to West
Liberty High School.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
So, I mean, who knows what was off.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I don't know what. I don't know how many students
were in her class attend time.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, so that's one thing that's great. I mean, listen,
we tend to knock a lot of the times on
small schools and small areas, and but when you have
stories like this, Yeah, that's what makes small towns in
small living great story.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I mean I can think of two gentlemen where I
went to high school that were at every single football
game and they they were the equipment managers. They were brothers,
and I'm sure somebody out there can tell me their names,
but they were a huge part of Buckeye Lokal athletics.
There just seems like every school has somebody like that.
Martin's Ferry had a guy that was always on the

(32:58):
sidelines of every football game. So, yeah, what a great
what a great story, what a lovely lady. And she
obviously has good taste and tushies.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Mm hmm she does. And then she denied that story.
After a while she denied it, and I told her
that your senility setting in.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Oh that's nice.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Well, I used to kidder all the time. I used
to call her crazy, old, bad stuff like that, just
but it was always and I give her a hugging
and kiss, so she knew who I was.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I love how you show your affection. Yeah, I've learned
to realize your your showing of affection is through insults.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Sometimes not always, but I always had fun because she
would give it right back to you. That's the best
part about it.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
And you know what's refreshing. And I don't know if
it's an age thing, but it seems is as as
you get older, and I've noticed this in myself, the
self inflicted uh what's the word I want to use?
Holding things back tends to dissipate. Oh yeah, like you
get to like as you age, you're like, I don't

(34:02):
care anymore.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Yeah, you don't need a filter.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
That's it. Filter that I was gonna say calling her
that wasn't right, But no filter, that self inflicted filter.
Where As you get older and older, it's like take
me or leave me. You like me or you don't
like me? Right, And then when you get to be
ninety or ninety five, yeah, who cares? Then you really don't.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Is somebody gonna actually say anything to you? You can
say what you want because they're gonna look at you
and go, this isn't worth the fight. Yeah you know,
Yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here and argue with
a ninety five year old person. No.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Oh my grandmother got that way. Yeah, my grandmother got
that way. Nope, no filter whatsoever, none, whatsoever ever.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
All of.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
You will be missed, Yes you will up on that

And tick people off.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
The bloom Daddy Experience on news radio eleven seventy WWVA

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Welcome back on your beautiful sunny Monday morning. It went
from being just little old me in this studio to
a house fool. So we are welcoming. It's Superhero day.
So how about this Moniker, the superhero of banking from
Belmont Savings Bank. How about that it's time for busting

(35:47):
the bankers brain. You haven't done this in a while.
So I'm so glad everybody's back.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh, we're happy to be here.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Great to be here.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Okay, so I'm going to go through everybody's name. We've
got Andrew Robbins Branch management Specialist. We've got Elizabeth mac
a branch manager, which location bel Air. We've got the
one and only pay Mcam Business Development.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
So everybody, as you speak, it has to go into
a microphone so they can hear you. So you have
to pull them close.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
There you go. And then we've got Trevor Stewart at
Assistant Operations Officer. So we're going to talk finances. Let's
talk finances, Let's talk banking. Let's talk money, money, money, money,
So right now, money savings, budgeting, big conversation in American households.
There's a lot of things happening on national level, and

(36:34):
I don't want to get into all that with you,
but I want to get on locally how folks can
plan and how they can budget. So let's start off
with checking accounts. So what is from your recommendation. Let's
just use an example, a family of four, What is

(36:55):
a good type of checking account for people to have?
And with banking online, do you still balance your check
book or am I just an old fuddyduddy that still
does that and the daughter of a banker. So with
that being said, great, great checking account you would recommend.

Speaker 7 (37:11):
Okay, So you know, in this day and age where
everything seems to cost, you know, cost money and have
a price, it's always important to try to find those
error where you can actually have something for free. And
your banking account should be free. You shouldn't be having
to pay to basically manage your own money. So usually
it's best to find a bank that can also pay
you so you know, for example, you've have a checking

(37:33):
account that may give you cash back rewards or maybe
give you an extra bonus because you have a certain
amount in your account. Those are also, you know, certainly
things that you want to look for.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Also.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
One of the things too, is that you also want
to make sure that there's no maintenance fees attached. Some
of these banks will have you know, a nine to
ten dollars you know who knows maintenance fee just for
having your money there. You know, I know, by'm ont
save as a bank, we don't have any fees on
any of our checking accounts or anything, as well as
our business checking accounts as well well. And then you
also mentioned something about bouncing a check book. Well, in

(38:05):
this day and age of apps, that's really an option there.
I mean, I can just speak for myself. I don't
have an actual traditional paper one any.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Well.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
I used to be old school but then and it's
just kind of a weird story, but the only reason
I have an app now that I use a checkbook
register for is that on I was it was a
Thursday evening, I was coming home from work, was going
in the house, and I fell and broke my elbow. Oh,
so I couldn't write, So I couldn't write with my
right hand right so I had to figure out a
way I could still bounce my check book on that Friday,

(38:35):
so I can sit there and push buttons on my
tailet on my phone and be able to do it
that way. And then also, but the white nice thing too,
is with doing it on an app is, I can
as soon as I do the transaction, I can do
it right there at the cast register, as opposed to
or as supposed to wait until I get home and
trying to remember, you know, to put it in there,
which I'm sure most people probably forget during the course
of a day of Oh I forgot I made these purchases.

(38:57):
I need to put these in our check book.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Well, and then along with checking in your personal finances,
I swear Otis can probably agree with me on this.
Probably every week we get a story about a scam,
whether it's local or national. When it comes to protecting
yourself as a consumer, what do you recommend, Pam try
to throw this at you or Okay, Trevor you're the

(39:20):
specialist here.

Speaker 8 (39:21):
Yeah, so you basically you always want to keep an
eye on your online banking's. It can give you alerts.
I think that's the best way to keep an eye
on everything. It gives you a push notification straight to
your phone whenever a transaction comes out of your account,
so you can you know, you know what's coming out
of your account every time you swipe your card. If
you see something that wasn't you you know right away.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
What about safety with the mobile banking of things, You know,
I know a lot of people who do everything on
their phone, and I know people that will put nothing
that is personally financial on their phone. What about the
safety of that.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
We definitely, you know, put a lot into the safety
of everything like that. You know, fraud's a really bad
thing nowadays. People try to get into your online banking
every day. You know, there might be some that slip
through the cracks every once in a while, but we
have a lot of protections in place that you know,
keep it secure. You know, we change passwords often if
we see something come through that you know, we don't recognize,

(40:18):
and maybe the customer might get something from our fraud
department that they don't recognize, So you know, we always
look into that kind of stuff and make sure we
change passwords, even useer names sometimes to make sure, you know,
we mitigate as much fraud as possible.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Again, we're talking to the team from the Superheroes of Banking. Hahaha,
Superheroes Day from Belmont Savings Bank. I think we got
half the bank here, so everybody, the drive through window
may be a little bit late opening this morning. I'm joking.
I'm joking. I'm joking. But then the other side of
what people are talking about right now is budgeting and saving.

(40:51):
You know, we're here, we hear about inflation. We're talking
talking about tariffs and the cars and car loans and
ups and downs and everything. What would you wreckon men?
For folks when it comes to budgeting and planning and
different banking options that people could consider that would helpet
in budgeting and planning. PAM.

Speaker 6 (41:14):
Basically, what I do is if I set my bills
up online, which I do a lot of them online,
I don't do them reoccurring because something may come up
that you cannot pay that bill exactly at that time,
and nothing goes on your credit report unless you are
thirty days late. So if you get paid every two weeks,

(41:38):
I am in control of when my bills are paid.
I just go in law online and I pay them
when I know I have the money to pay them
instead of setting them up reoccurring. That does help a
lot of people because if you do them reoccurring, you
may actually have a flat tire and need to buy
a tire. You can do that. And yes, you'll have

(42:01):
to watch what you're spending because you know that that
one bill is still due.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
That unexpected big amount that you're not planning on. Correct
And Elizabeth, I'm want to ask you this. One of
the major things we hear about from Belmont Savings Bank
is it's Casasa. And I'll be up front, I have
Belmont Savings Bank. I love Casasa because at the end
of the is at the end of the month, of
the first of the month, there's like, oh, there's this
mysterious ten dollars. Yes, you know, So Elizabeth, tell us

(42:31):
a little bit what makes COSASA stand out a little
bit from from others? Oh okay, now we're going to
throw it back to Andrew.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (42:38):
So one of the nice things is is that basically
there's three different variations of Casasa depending upon which account
that you have. So you have our kasassa cash account
which gives you a higher interest rate on your money
up to a certain point. And then our Casasa cash back,
which is the one that you're talking about, which is
our most popular one.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
It's also the one that I have.

Speaker 7 (42:56):
Yeah, you get a Basically all you have to do
is do twelve debit card transactions a month, log into
your online banking, and have set up for east statements.
And the nice thing is, let's say say you have
a month in which you don't meet one of those qualifications.
You're not gonna get punished for it. You're not gonna
get any kind of fee or anything of that nature.
Because I worked at a previous bank, if you didn't
meet their cariterer for their awards taking accounts, you got
doctor fee for that. Well, you're not gonna get that

(43:16):
with us. So and then the third one basically is
our tunes account. So that one you can get cash
back rewards on purchases up to up to ten dollars
in cash back on iTunes purchases, Amazon purchases, things of
that nature.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
And for folks out there, they can come into any
Belmont Savings location to ask additional questions to sign up,
or if they just have a financial planning question, can
they reach out to you guys for that too.

Speaker 6 (43:42):
You do not have to bank with us for using
our brains.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
And if you want to try busted them like this,
you can't do. That's great.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
I did want to add one thing for the scams
part of it with the online is that if you
are paying credit card bills or anything like that, use
your bank's online website. Don't go to the utility companies
of the credit card banks credit card websites, because then
you're giving them all your information.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Gotcha. Okay, So that way.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
If you're doing it from your online all you're doing
is putting in their information. So that'll decrease hacking and
that out there too, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Well, guys, thank you so much this morning. Go out
enjoy that sunshine before you're back in the bank. Oh,
before we're back.

Speaker 6 (44:32):
It's a little chilly out.

You can that you actually can come up.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
They come up with something clever. Thank you, Yeah, thank you,
thank you. So you know right now, where's my story here? Goodness? Yeah, wow,
I just like blanked. I'm so sorry. So there's a
recent analysis from the group called house Fresh Right now,

(48:13):
of course everybody it is. It is home buyer season spring.
This is when the housing market kicks off. But you
may not want to search in these particular cities. Here's
a ranking of the recent dirtiest cities in the United States. Yikes,
what do you think is the dirtiest city in the country?

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Oh, it's going to be well, now I'm checking guessing myself.
How about San Francisco?

Speaker 2 (48:41):
No, okay, Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Okay, I was gonna go to New York first, but
then I changed to San Francisco. Since there's all kind
of human feces everywhere.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
They have a map for that. They probably have an
app at this point too. Baltimore took the talks, took
the top spot with a rank of six and the
other dirtiest zip codes in and around the city's area,
so they kind of encompassed a whole section. Milwaukee is
the cleanest city, okay, and let's see as for the

(49:14):
Big Apple, the Brooklyn portion is the dirtiest parts of
New York City. I have not been to Baltimore. I
have never heard good things about Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
I've been to Baltimore several times. It's been a while. Well,
when we were in Washington, d C. For the Fair,
I took the train to Baltimore to see in those games. Yeah, so,
but I was just around the stadium, so I mean,
it wasn't like I got to see downtown Baltimore. And
then before that it was right out of college, so

(49:47):
late eighties, early nineties, a friend of mine maneuver for
a job interview, and we we we did the National Aquarium,
which we did the Inner Harbor, which time thirty years
ago was. But I've heard it's gone downhill, big yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I've never heard, like I said, I've not heard good
things about Baltimore. I've heard it's really really scary. But
this guy is now saying, there goes the neighborhood. The
home next door to Jeff bezos sprawling La mansion is
for sale for the low low price of nineteen point
eight million dollars. The Amazon gazillionaire is concerned about what

(50:27):
kind of person may soon become his neighbor.

Speaker 9 (50:31):
I'm Jeff Bezos with a rather troubling development. Whilst arriving
home to my one hundred and sixty five million dollar
Beverly hos compound, imagine my shock upon seeing a forced
sales sign on my neighbor's home with a paltry twenty
million dollar list price. Well, there goes the neighborhood. I

(50:52):
shuddered to think, what kind of low rent miscreant shall
occupy this ramshackle shock and become the Homer Simpson my
ned Flanders. Perhaps I should purchase this dilapidated dwelling myself
and turn it into a she shed for my fuck
sheep fielk sake. Otherwise, with such a paltry price tag, I.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
Fear my new neighbor will be some cryptob social media influencer.
We're worse yet, Katy Perry, who she's the star we
love to hate.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
There you have it.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Yes, I would not want that type of neighbor that
can afford nineteen point eight million dollars.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Yeah, yeah, trailer trash.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Probably we love to say that anymore.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
No, probably not?

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Oh well, oh.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Well, and I said it jokingly. Yes, yes, that's just
that's just the term. Don't take offense to it.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Forgiveness sake, easy, easy folks, Easy folks.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
What does the Pat McAfee show have on it every day?
Please do not sue us.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Do you see where he got his butt kicked at
the wrestling No, yeah, I forget.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I can't. I can't do wrestling anymore.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I can't either. But for some reason last week wrestling, well,
WrestleMania happened. I at least know that, but it was everywhere,
and it was in the top headlines on news channels
like Fox, CBS. I mean it was everywhere. It was
on top headlines on ESPN, Pat McAfee. It's like everywhere

(52:28):
I turned it was WrestleMania. I didn't even realize wrestling
was still a big thing.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Yeah yeah, like everybody that I knew that wrestled is
long gone or.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
They looked like, yeah you now, I'm so sorry. I
didn't mean it.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
You're listening to the Blue Daddy Experience. I just turned
her mic off on news radio eleven seventy WWVA. Otis
no Sam.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Welcome back eight thirty six with the wom Daddy Experience,
Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Before I forget,
we're gonna have your chance to win this morning. We've
got a pair of tickets to seat Jason Bonham right
here at the Capitol Theater, happening May seven, So stay tuned.
We're gonna be doing that here a little bit shortly.

(53:29):
And that didn't make sense. Shortly He's just over there
shaking his head. He's mad at me, because I.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
I'm definitely not mad.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
I had a joke at him earlier. No, I don't
care about that actually came out wrong, That came out
terribly wrong. Was not in any way, shape or form
the way I intended it to sound at all. Today,
along with it being National Superheroes Day, it's also pay
it Forward Day.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
So I have I have had this happen to me
where I have been in line at a drive through
and I pull up and here there's like you don't
owe anything. The person in front of you pay for
your meal, and that's probably I would say that's happened
to me three or four times. It is such a
wonderful feeling.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
And then did you pay for the person behind?

Speaker 2 (54:16):
You?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
See, with my when I've always done it, I've always
had the van full of kids that they their order
came to like eighty seven dollars.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
You've got the doggers behind you from the that TV show?

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, or what is it John and Kate plus eight?
You know, there's like forty four people in a mini van, right,
and every kid got a kid's meal and then every
adult got whatever else. You know. It's like now that
I'm exaggerating, No, I.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Know, I know what are some other ideas to pay
it forward? I know today I actually did this. I
didn't do it on purpose. I didn't realize today is
what it is. But I did some cleaning out over
the weekend, and I've got some clothes and shoes that
I'm going to be donating, and then I've got a
couple of things that I'm going to be taking to
the Belmont County Animal Shelter, okay for donations. And I

(55:05):
don't know if that's paying it.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Forward or just I mean it kind of is.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
I mean it's donating. Just the timing's right, will say,
we'll say, what are some other ideas for pay it forward?

Speaker 3 (55:18):
I mean, you know, just like obviously you can do
it at restaurants or whatever, and you could probably do
it at any like you know, if you see somebody
that's behind you, maybe they're maybe a little bit older
or in they're in line, you know, at you at
say a supermarket or a you know, a box store,

(55:38):
will say, like a Target or Walmart, whatever you want
to call it, respects wherever, and you know you kind
of look back and say, hey, what's there. Whatever they
got I'll pay for, you know, might be might be
the necessities. It might be the end of the month
and they don't get their check until you know, maybe
Wednesday or Thursday, you know, and they just need some help.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Well, here's something simple, and it doesn't always have to
involve a financial side.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
Too, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
You got an older neighbor and they need their grass cut.
Or here's something very simple, open the door for somebody.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Yeah wash somebody, you know, wash your neighbor's car for them,
or yeah, do something nice. It doesn't really cust you.
It doesn't cust you any money, a little bit of time.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
No, Sometimes it's the simplest things that are the most appreciated.
I mean, it really is. And that's what today's all about.
So if you see somebody hold the door for him,
or like you said, mother grass weed, whack, pick up
some leaves, any of that kind of stuff, that stuff
means so much to a lot of people. This is
right up your alley. Otis so on Sunday last night

(56:43):
they announced the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's
class of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Yeah. I didn't really get a big chance to look
at the list because, like I mean, obviously I've just
seen it this morning. But there's one thing that I
did notice that for the since I think since they've
been doing the fan vote, they didn't take the they
didn't take the number one fan vote.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
They didn't, No, they did not, Okay, which was who Fish?

Speaker 3 (57:13):
So basically Fish kind of like when The Grateful Dead
stopped they're touring, Fish kind of took over and Dave
Matthews took over for Fish because you know, it's everybody
that can, you know, that likes the they're smoked their
weed and like long songs, long versions of songs and
everything else.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
I mean, play with the Hackey sack.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Yeah, I'm you know, I mean, I think there's some
more deserving bands out there than the ones that got in.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
So we've got who here, Sound.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Garden, the White Stripes, Bad Company, Cyndi Lauper, Outcast. Uh.
They lead the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class.
Now there are some other ones like Salt and Pepper's
getting in Pepa Sultan Pepper along with Warren Zevon. They're
going to receive the Musical Influence Awards, and there's some
other names that gonna be Excellence Awards in the prestigious

(58:02):
on It Air to Gain award. So, I mean there's
a lot of different things in there. Chubby Checkers in
there as well, Joe Cocker here's my thing. Outcast. While
I like some of their music. I mean, like they
had like two or three hits. You know, it's not
like they were around a long time. And then and

(58:24):
I'm kind of on the same thing with Soundgarden.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Well, okay, can I let me ask you this.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
So I think sound Garden got in because of the
guy that, Chris Cornel. Yeah, that's that's the only reason
they got it.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
Why do we why do they call it the rock
and Roll Hall of Fame? Can we just call it
the Music Hall of Fame? Well, because I mean Sultan
Peppa is not.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Rock and roll. Well, it's an offshoot of rock and roll. Yeah,
I mean it's rap. It's still an offshoot of rock music.
It's not country. I mean, there's no rap Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I mean, i mean that's what I'm saying if you
would just called the music Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
But they are. They are there as the musical influence.
So like Jimmy Buffett is he really was? He really
rock and roll? He was his own music, kind of
like Calypso country rock.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Yeah, he started his own, you know.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
His own genre. But there are off I mean, if
you really think about it, rock and roll comes from
the blues. So you know, blues, and then it morphed
into rock and roll, that morphed into heavy metal and rap.
From everything came.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
From gospel in a way. You know, everything everything morphs,
as you said, into other.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Sure, you know. I mean, and like everybody say, oh,
Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton aren't rock and roll, but
they had rock and roll hits. They had rock and
roll song the songs that crossed over into rock and roll.
More is a songwriter than as a perform you know,
Dolly Parton's had some pop hits, Willie Nelson had some
pop hits. But if you look at their longevity of

(01:00:02):
their career, some of the songs that they've written, like
Whitney Houston doing Dolly Parton, and you know, in all
these little things. So I mean, I get it that
when you put those people in and I have no
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, Chubby Checker with
the Twist, a song that charted twice in two different era,
I mean, like in two different times, like it charted

(01:00:23):
I think in sixty or sixty one and then again
in sixty three. You know, I mean, I think that's
huge and bad company, great band. But Paul Rodgers the
lead singer. He should be in the Hall of Fame
like they put Niles Rogers in from chic Okay. As

(01:00:45):
a songwriter, as a producer, as a bassist, as everything else.
Paul Rodgers should have been in the Hall of Fame
because he was the lead singer of Free Bad Company,
the Firm. I mean, he took over for Freddie Mercury
in Queen. I mean, his voice is just powerful. I mean,
it's like one of those voices he has, like one
of the ultimate rock and roll voices. And I'd love

(01:01:08):
to be able to play some Paul Rogers with him singing,
but if it goes on our podcast, we get fired,
so you know, we'd just rather just avoid that all.
In general, I think I think I think it's overdue,
to be honest with you. You know, you look at
her pop hits, but as a songwriter, as a songwriter

(01:01:30):
for yeah, if you're gonna I have you know, I obviously,
girls just want to Have Fun was an anthem in
the eighties and it's kind of a poppy, campy song
in the video especially, but you know, like time after time,
I mean has been covered by multiple artists. Song and
if you just listen to the lyrics. I mean that
song alone should get her into the Hall of Fame.

(01:01:52):
So yeah, or true colors, you know, so I mean
a couple. I mean she's had some very very great songs.
I mean you can think that she's a little bit
on the wacko side, which he probably is all art
of star. Yeah, And but I mean I think her
songwriting abilities put her in the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Rock and well and her songs on her songwriting have
have been generational, Like they're not just from the eighties people.
You know, they're in tons of movie It's everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
And I have no problem with the White Stripes except
I think that they need they needed to pay their
dues a little bit longer.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
They're not even together anymore, are they?

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Okay, I just know them for one song.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
They've had a few, have they Yeah, okay, I thought,
But again I don't think that they've had the longevity.
And you know what I mean, like is what Bad
Company had or a foreigner or.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
You know, there's and and you want to talk about weird.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
And Doug Campbell. I will tell you this, Kansas does
not but deserve to be in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, not.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
According to that video. No, I think you're disagreeing with yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Yeah, well that's not my voice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It's a forty sixty. If we want to continue to
hear that voice, stick with us. We'll be back with
your chance to win. Stay tuned. It's the blim Daddy Experienced,
salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It's eight fifty

(01:03:23):
on your Monday, The Bloue Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Coming up, we're gonna have your
chance to win a pair of tickets of course, coming
up in May to see Jason Bonham right here at
the Capitol Theater. So stay tuned for that very very
shortly that's coming up. But also what's happening now. The

(01:03:45):
papal conclave has started. It won't be long now before
a new Pope is chosen. It's an interesting process, which,
by the way, go watch that movie. But if you'd
like to make a little more inch, if you'd like
to make it a little bit more interesting, you can
wager on it now who will be.

Speaker 10 (01:04:02):
The new Pope? Bet on it and get in on
the apostolic action with pope picks.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Make some Catholic cash with our.

Speaker 10 (01:04:10):
Bishop bets and take advantage of the deacon doubler with
the pastor parlay. We've got the best Sainte Visconte odds
coming out of the DomU Sainte Marthe during this period
of interregnum. Take a spin of our religion roulette smoke
predictor wheel, where you've got fifty to fifty odds on

(01:04:31):
whether white or black smoke from the burning ballots will
pop out of the holy chimney. It's time to cash
in on this conclave of cardinals with pope picks. You'll
judging all the way to church.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
That's just not right.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
I told you before the show there was a meme
and I thought it was flipping fantastic, Okay. And what
they did was they took a picture of the draft
mm hmm, and it said cardinals pick is in And
somebody posted, oh, they they picked the pope and they

(01:05:11):
superimposed like white smoke coming out of the chimney there
and and the chimes. There was just a picture. It
was just a picture. So and I'm thinking to myself,
that is brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Now if they can only make it a little bit
of a video and add in the the pick is
in chimes, that would that would be the cherry on top.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Cardinals pick is in.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Yeah. There was, of course the the the big funeral process,
and everything was over the weekend. I was I was
looking at some of it just a little bit. It
was of course a monumental, huge event, the losing of
a pope, the burial, and of course there were folks
out there that were criticizing the fact that the United
States President wore a dark navy blue suit.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
What's he supposed to wear?

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
There were others he supposed to wear, like bright pink
or purple, or they said it should have been like black.
I mean, if it's dark.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Does that listen? They will find anything that they can find.
There were other men in that group that was wearing
a suit. Let's be let's be happy that Zelensky was
wearing a suit. Was it wearing a sweatshirt or whatever
he's notorious for wearing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
He didn't go as John Fetterman or whatever his first name.
I don't even know what is that you first named?
John Fetterman?

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Yeah, okay, Pennsylvania, Yeah, yeah, No, I just know him
as the car Heart sweatshirt guy. No, hey, listen, he's
one of the some of the folks with common sense
currently in and that's scary. And yeah, yeah, oh, you
know what we haven't talked about for a while. Stupid criminals.

(01:07:00):
I want to hit on some stupid criminals.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Yess.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Okay. So out of Nashville, there was an inmate who
was set to be released in two days. Okay, think
about that. He said he has two days left on
his sentence. On his sentence, he decided to try and escape.
Nashville police say Tyreek Harris walked away from an improved

(01:07:24):
work release site last week. He was arrested the next day.
Harris was originally jailed for a probation violation. He's now
facing new charges two days.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
Like, dude, forty eight hours. Just wait it out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
It's stupid criminals. That's why they're in jail, most of them.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Yikes. Okay, how about this one. A suspected bank robber
was arrested at a coffee shop next to the bank
he allegedly stole from in Michigan. So think about this.
Let's go rob a bank and I have to stop
before I get in the car to get my iced
frappuccino Brondez.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
No, no, no, no, no, think about I think this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Is genius, Oh, to blend in.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
Because what you they're going to think that you're trying
to get away as far as far as way as possible,
as fast as you can. Boom, you rob the bank,
you go into the store, and I guess he it
says that he put a wig on.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
And but I mean you would figure it's just like
it's like when they tell you the prisoners escape from
like when they when they were when the penitentiary was
in Mountsville. One of my college roommates lived right across
the street, Okay, And I'm like, dude, doesn't that freak
you out?

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
And he's like, he said, they don't want to come here.
They want to get as far away as possible, as
fast as they can. So but thinking about that, you
rob the bank, you go into the coffee shop next door,
and they're they're thinking you're on the run, and then
here you are. You know, you're just blending in with
the average crowd.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Well, I mean that's what we've seen in like heist
movies when they do something like that, like Oceans was
Ocean's eleven.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
Okay, so I'm talking in real life.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
You're talking fantasy, I know, but I'm saying it's it's
the same price.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you hide in plain sight. Yeah, I mean,
I mean, obviously he got caught, but if you really
think about it, if you do it right, yeah, it's
it's it's probably the best, the best cover. Yeah, you know,
I mean I would have had like I would have

(01:09:31):
been able to, I would have done something where like
I was in different clothes when I robbed the bank,
I would have worn the disguise, not vice versa.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Oh, because you can rip it off quicker, right, Yeah,
and just pitch it somewhere you can throw it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
You throw it in the in the garbage can out
front or on the street or whatever. And then the
next thing, you know, they think you're on the run.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Well, and hopefully the cops catch this guy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
But of course, with any with any security, they're gonna
be able to see him walk out and then walk
into the other store in today's day and age.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Well, as I said, hopefully they catch this guy. In Florida,
a thirteen year old boy was assaulted Saturday after accidentally
hitting a passing car with plato.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
I don't think it was accidental, but anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
It's Plato first of all. Okay, it's not it's not
as Yeah, wtys say the driver turned around, chased the boy,
and then stomped on his head during the attack.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Yeah, that's a little accessible.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
The tips can be submitted anonymously to the Florida Crime Stoppers.
That's that's.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
Oh you attack it a thirteen year old like that
and you're an adult.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Yeah, you stomp their head.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Yeah, it just reminds me of you in history. X.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
