I've got a couple of announcements I want to get

So I'm going to start with the important one, and
that is Brave Men Incorporated presents Blue Tie Gala in
evening of Hope. This is at River City. I works
right here in downtown Wheeling. This is this Saturday at
five o'clock. So once again this Saturday, May tenth.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Five o'clock. Brave Men.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Their whole mission statement is pretty simple, and that is
to elevate awareness and exposure and emphasize the significance of
early detection and prostate cancer.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
So this is for you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
And I've hit on this many many times, but we
don't take our health serious.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
A lot of times we don't get our checkups.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
We don't do things in a timely fashion like our
female counterparts do, and that puts us behind the eight
ball a lot. So Brave Men, it's all about raising
awareness about prostate cancer, having conversations about men's health and
also support, talking about support groups and just getting you
through different things when it comes to maintaining your health.

(01:31):
This is a gonna be a very valuable function this
Saturday at River City al Works. And it's gonna be
fun too. I mean, prostate cancer. Not a lot of
things are fun about that, but you know what I mean.
When you could get together with a bunch of guys
talk about something serious but also have a good time,
I think it's a win win for everybody. So Brave

of right there. And I can remember back in the
days of the big metropolis of Lafferty. My first turkey shoot,
I think I was nine or ten years old, and
I had an absolutely wonderful time. It's something that I
still remember to this day. I mean, Sam, you grew
up in the sticks. Odds are you probably shot a
gun at a turkey shoot.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
So I did grow up in the sticks and I
have shot plenty of guns. I have not been to
a turkey shoot. I honestly up front, I do not
know a lot of the comings and goings are the
parameters of a turkey shoot. Do you notice you're a

(05:20):
city boy?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
No?

Speaker 5 (05:21):
I mean I used to They used to have like
they used to advertise turkey shoots all the time or
some I can't remember as a kid them advertising and
I never knew what they were.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Like.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
I was like, like, do you just go someplace and
these turkeys are in a pen and you just shoot them?
Like I mean, when you're like six or seven years
old and you hear that, you're like, what the heck
is a turkey shoot?

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah? I am not familiar, but no, yes, I have
have done plenty of shooting at different things, not turkeys.
My grandfather was an avid, avid turkey hunter. He absolutely
loved turkey hunting above dear, it was his go to

(06:08):
I still remember this story that there was nobody else
there to confirm this. I will I will preface it
with that. But he swears and he had two of them.
He swears he got two turkeys with one shot. It
went from one head to the next head. They were

(06:29):
just right in line and got them both at the
same time. No way to say yay or nay, But
I will say this. My grandfather never said a foul
word in his life and never had a drop of alcohol.
And he was not somebody to make up tails. So
two turkeys, one shot.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
I believe it. I mean, I think it could happen.
I mean if because turkeys are normally you know, there's
normally more than one. They're in a group, right, you know.
I mean, it's a gaggle of geese. I don't know
what a is it? A flock of turkeys? Yeah, anyway,
But if there's a whole slew of them around, I
mean I can see where like one like if you shot,

(07:08):
it could go through the one turkey and into another one.
I don't think, you know, I mean, if you don't
plan on that, then it's like dn R on your
rear end because you got two of them and nearly
had a tag for one.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Well it was on the farm, so I don't think, well,
I'm just saying but yeah, No, here's the one thing
I like about this, and he you know, bloom Daddy
mentioned the event that's happening and how it's it's for young,
young children, young adults. It takes the boogeyman narrative out
of using a firearm. Yeah, and it and it gives

(07:43):
the opportunity for young people to learn and experience using
them from people who have done it all their lives
and teach them the right steps to take, the safety,
the precautions, everything behind using a firearm.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, I mean I think you know. I remember as
a kid growing up, my next door neighbor he and
his dad would go hunting, and then the neighbor across
the street. The three of them would go all the time,
and I'd be like, you know, I never understood it
because that wasn't a part of my family. You know,
Nobody on my mom's side of the family hunted. Nobody
on my dad's side of the family hunted that I

(08:23):
knew of, you know, So it wasn't an opportunity for it.
And then my friends as I started to grow up,
their families didn't hunt. So you know, what did you do?
We played basketball, baseball, football, you know what I mean.
Those are the things we did. We didn't go out
in the woods and hunt, right, And you know, I mean,
I kind of wish I would have learned or you know,

(08:44):
somebody maybe would have done that with me, or maybe
if I'd had a friend that I hung out with
that their dad did it. You know, maybe I could
have done that a little bit more. But you know,
it's not it's not like I regret, but you know,
it just it would have just been nice to have
that experience.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Some people really take to it, and then some people
they have absolutely no interest in it. And now target shooting,
I'm for that. I'm all about it. Sitting in the
cold woods being rained on or snowing, Nope, no thank you.
Hanging from a tree, Nope, no thank you. Sitting it
I'm sorry, sitting in a tree, not hanging from a tree.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
My youngest son goes hunting with some friends and everything else,
and I mean he never did that growing up with us.
I mean, but he went with some other people and
he enjoys it. So yeah, but he does a lot
of things that none of us ever did. Like he
snowboards and skis, and you know it's just like hill golf.
Now we all played golf, so yeah, but it's just

(09:37):
it's funny that like his interests.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Like completely opposite, not.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Not completely, but I mean he just you know, he
he's he's more into guns than anybody that I know.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, more willing to try different things possibly or had
had the opportunity to. There's part of it too. Seven
sixteen on your Monday after a rainy weekend. When we
get better back, let's talk sixty minutes. I'll explain when
we get back. Seven sixteen The Blue Daddy Experienced samon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back, seven twenty one.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
You're listening to the Blue.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
You know, before we go any further, just want to
maybe throw a quick shout out. Yeah, you and I
have been in this game for about a year and
a half now, and you know, whenever we have a
problem that we call our engineer Lou and Louz from
the Pittsburgh area. And I always feel bad when I

(10:48):
call Lub because I had to call him this morning
and it's like six thirty and I said, hey, we're
having some problems that things are running slow. What do
I need to do? Blah blah blah, And I know
I woke him up, and I always feel bad when
I call him. So to make matters worse, he says,
you know I'm retiring, right And I said yeah. I said,
I just didn't know when you were going. I said,

(11:10):
you told me the last time we talked that you were,
you know, thinking about that you were definitely retiring. I said,
when are you going to retire? And he said last week? So,
I Lou, I'm sorry. If you're listening, I owe you
an apology. Hopefully you went back to bed. But he
said he is going to work part time till the end,
till the end of this month. And I just felt

(11:30):
bad calling him. Now, not only do you feel bad
calling him at six thirty in the morning, but then
he tells you he's retired.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
It's kind of like a double dose of so.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
Lou, thank you and happy retirement.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yes, absolutely, happy retirement. Those you know the the engineers
are the brains of the operation. You know, they're the
ones that keep everything rolling.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
And running and running.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Absolutely, they do stuff that we have no idea what
they do.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
I just I like it when they tried to explain
to you what they're doing and then all of a sudden,
it's just like a foreign language.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
It's Charlie Brown's school teacher.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah it's but you.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Sit there with world wide eyes, not a bobble. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
Right.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
And then one other thing I wanted to mention. I
was at a funeral over the weekend and one of
my high school college friends lives in Salem, Virginia. Okay, okay,
and he said that, hey, we can pick you guys
up over the air, not not via not the app.
Not the app, he says, he is. He goes, I
can get eleven seventy, he said. He said, sometimes because

(12:37):
it's a little hilly and whatnot. He said, But he said, sometimes,
you know, if I'm driving, he said, yeah, I can
get you for a while, and then if I go
into a valley or something, I lose you a little bit.
But he said, yeah, he said, we listen all the time.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Oh that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
So shout out to Steven Mary.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
How far would that be?

Speaker 5 (12:53):
He said, it's about four and a half hours. I think, wow,
So I don't know mileagewise, but that's you know, it's
in the Roanoke area.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
That's a good distance.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Oh well, shout out to Virginia. Sale in Virginia. No
today Cinco de Mayo, oh day all day long.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
That the Americans celebrated more than the Mexicans do. Yeah,
it's like Saint Patrick's Day. The Irish didn't celebrate Saint
Patrick's Day like we do.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, because Mary religious, we want an excuse the party.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
That's exactly what it is. So we've adopted Cinco de Mayo.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah, it's just it's another excuse and the alcohol and
beer and everybody else make a pretty penny.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
President Trump's going to just change the name of it
to May fifth.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yesterday it was May fourth, May the fourth be with you.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
And you know what I saw something today, gez wow
struck a chord? So you know May fourth? Okay, I
get it. May May the fourth be with you? Yes,
these Star Wars dorks today is Revenge of the Fifth.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, come on, where have you been?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
That's dorky? You got one, don't don't, don't push it.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
I agree, I agree. Yeah, yeah, one's enough that the especially.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Back to back, you can't do them back. I mean
there's a fifth every month, so every every every June
fifth is revenge of the fifth. July fifth is revenge
of the fifth. I mean, like, come on, I guess
it is the sequel to make the fourth be.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
With youkill a little a little time.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Okay, go to your sixty minutes.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
No, no, I was just gonna say real quick, in celebration
of Sinca de Mayo, you can hit up Chipotle with
free delivery, which they are doing today. They're offering free
deliveries only when you use the code deliver at checkout
on the app. So if you want to celebrate with
some yummies from Chipotle, go there.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
That's probably what I have for dinner. Didn't, but I'll
go pick it up.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I'm not delivered no delivery prices. People that use the
Uber eats and all, you're paying almost twice as much
because you're lazy. Yeah. Anyways, anyways, sixty minutes so over.
I don't know if you've seen this or you've heard
about this, so everybody remembers the interview with Kamala Harris

(15:21):
during the campaign. It was an absolute mess. It was
a terrible interview. Everybody knew that it had been edited
within an inch of its life. There's now a lawsuit
involving President Trump. He's seeking twenty billion dollars from NBC
and its parent company, which is Paramount Global. But everybody

(15:44):
knew watching that interview that it was it was an
absolute debacle. Well here's the funny thing, and can I
just say irony is hilarious. So the nominations came out
for the forty six News in Documentary Emmy Awards, which
you know are pretty much the highest awards you can

(16:06):
be given is a news organization. Well, that interview has
been announced and has received several nods, including so they're
nominated in several categories, but the kicker they are nominated
as the most Outstanding Edited Interview category.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
I thought the interview wasn't edited.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Thank you where That's where irony comes into this entire thing. Now,
when I think of editing when it comes to news
like this, it's not editing an answer. It's editing like
raw footage. So if you're you're on war coverage and
you do a visual story of what the reporter is seeing.

(16:59):
You edit those lips, not the answers being given by
the interviewee, which is what we saw with the Kamala
Harris interview because we all know it was edited to
make her look semi intelligent. It didn't even make that
come across. But yeah, talk about irony for you. Outstanding
edited interview category the Kamala Harris interview on sixty minutes.

(17:25):
I think that could possibly be used by the Trump
lawyers in the lawsuit. I don't know. Seven twenty eight.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy wwva.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Welcome back to the bloom Daddy Experience on eleven seventy wwva.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
How about mother nature? Huh?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I hate April. I hate May you know that. I've
told you that a thousand times. Because of the rain,
everything is mud. It reminds me back when I was
a kid growing up in Lafferty. Not a damn thing
to do, stuck in the house, everything just depressing, mud awful. Well,
how about these storms though, I mean, I don't remember
as a kid getting these sort of significant storms back

(18:09):
to back to back to back I can remember getting
you know, being ten or eleven years old. Storms always
kind of frightened me. The big ones. It seemed like
we got one or two. Now it's one or two
a week, if not one, two, three, four five in
a row.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
And tornadoes.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Back in the eighties nineties, you never heard of a
tornado in the Ohio Valley. Now every time you turn around,
seems like there's a tornado sighted outside of Barnesville, or
a tornado around tap And Lake, or a tornado wherever
it may be, Moundsville, Shady Side. And recently these thunderstorm
has been blown through in the winds. I mean the

(18:47):
month of April, as much as it rained, it was
the wind more than anything. And I got a house
out tap And Lake. It I think that Frontiers should
just set up a substation out up in Lake because
they're out there weekly, whether it's Internet going down, electricity
going down. It just seems like forty to fifty seventy

(19:10):
mile hour wins every time you turn around. And recently
out of Tapa Lake there was a lot of damage
to some homes out there. It just came through the bay.
Nobody knows if it was a tornado, a wind, shear
or what. But it was last week when those eighty
mile hour wins came. My son was out at Harrison
Central at the baseball game, and he said it was
like nothing he'd ever seen. Everything was fine, and then

(19:33):
all of a sudden, for about ten minutes, wins that he's.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Never seen before rain.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
He said, Dad, it was like the end of the
world for ten minutes and then it was gone. But
you know, you think back fifteen twenty thirty years ago,
and I know the atmosphere is changing. I know the
environment is changing. Climate call it whatever you want. The
debate is whether or not it's man made or not.
I don't think it is. I think it's Mother Nature
being mother nature. But it just seems like anymore we

(20:02):
don't get a regular old thunderstorm with a little bit
of lightning, a little bit of thunder, some hard rain,
something that you can actually enjoy. Now it's run for
your basement, make sure your porch umbrella is down, don't
stand near the windows, and God forbid you have any
trees around your house. I mean, otis Sam, think back

(20:23):
fifteen twenty twenty five years ago, or go back to
when you were a kid back in your teenage years,
do you remember the weather being this severe as often
as what we're dealing with now.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
You want to get I'll go first. I mean I
remember tornado warnings, watches, things like that as a kid,
because when you're a kid, you're thinking you hear that
on the radio or you see it on the news
or something of that nature. When you're seven, eight nine
years old that you're like, oh my gosh, a tornado
and I think they happened. But I think they happened.

(20:58):
You know, if you look at where all these things,
you know, obviously there's I think there's always been like microbursts.
We just didn't know what we did. We didn't know.
We just said, hey, there was some high winds, and
this is what happened. You know now you know, now
you have all these terminologies for weather, thanks to the
Weather Channel and Jim Cantore and names for him exactly. Yeah,

(21:20):
But I think I think they've always been around. I
just think that we didn't really name them. The other
thing is, you know, you have these tornadoes and stuff
that are that hit houses or you know, something of
that nature. You know, remember, we're populations that's expanding, so
some of these tornadoes that maybe touched down years ago.

(21:41):
Maybe we're in a field or in the woods and
nobody even noticed that.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, it's that, and it's also the amount of information
that we are given all the time. There's an entire
channel dedicated to weather now, you know, thirty zerology, right exactly. Yeah,
but thirty forty fifty years ago, I didn't know there
was a tornado that hit Nebraska.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
You know, unless it was on the national news.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Other than that, yeah, you didn't know. But listen, I've
told you where I live. I live up on a hilltop.
And the winds and the storms we have had over
the past week, honest to god, I look out the
window for Godzilla because that's what it sounds like. The
noises are insane. And talk about trees, we might not

(22:28):
have any tree limbs left. That's one thing I'm so
sick of doing right now, recently in the past four
or five days, is picking up sticks, not just sticks, limbs,
small trees, and that's become a big part of my
lovely springtime. But yeah, it seems like they're more prominent
and they're more reoccurring. But like you said, is.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
It because are they more prominent reoccurring because we see
it more on the news now, especially the local news.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Well, and the people have more accessibility to share what
has happened and predictability, well, people can say here's the
the you know, here's what happened in my backyard, and
it's immediately out there because of social media, where we
didn't have that before. But there were people that got
I don't know if it was Friday or Saturday. Out
in the Morristown area, bell One area, they had hailed

(23:20):
that was the size of like golf balls and baseballs.
It was huge, huge, But yeah, it seems like huge.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Did I say it like that? Not how Trump says it?

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah? Huge, Yeah, but no, it does seem like it's
been more extreme. I will say this. My flags are
all gone. They're gone. We ended up with somebody's uh
uh poll solar cover in a storm last year in
our tree.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
It's always good.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, I said, what is that hanging in the tree.
It was a solar cover for a pool. You know,
you never know what is going to blow around.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Well, I think think we notice again, like you said,
I think we notice it more because there are the
technology for predictability has become It is far more advanced
than what it was forty years ago, I think, and
as you said, with the advent of social media and
the fact that you have a camcorder and camera on

(24:24):
your phone right that no matter where you are, you
can report it and you know so, and then you
can post that on social media or you can share
it on a news site or whatever. And I think
that's why that's why it appears that there's more.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah. Well, and god forbid, you were driving home Friday
when it was just a downpour. See, I don't mind
driving in the snow when it's extreme rain like that.
That freaks me out. Number one, my windshiel wipers can't
get fast enough. And I'm so afraid of hydroplaning. That
freaks me out more than anything. I hate that feeling

(25:05):
of complete un control of the vehicle. That just gets
to me big time, big time. But yeah, the weather
has been seems like every year it seems to be
a little bit more and more exciting.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Well, and the other thing is I think it like,
like Bim Jatty said, thirty forty years ago, do you
remember the weather as much as a kid? Well, yeah,
you see what I'm saying. I mean It's like if
you had a big snowstorm or something like that, it's
easy to remember because maybe you were shut in for
three or four days, like the blizzard of ninety six
or the blizzard of ninety three or something of that nature.

(25:45):
But are you going to remember, like, unless there was
actual damage to your house or property or whatever, you're
not going to remember.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah, kids, just go on with thirty.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
I mean I can. I can remember thunderstorms and sitting
under on our back patio because it had an aluminum
roof and just being there and the high winds and
everything else, but never like.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Weren't diving in the back pub specifics.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Yeah, you know. And all I remember is when you
would get those tornado warnings or tornado watches, and I
would I would be concerned. I could just remember my
parents going, we live in the hills, You're not going
to see a tornado.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Well that's not that's not true anymore.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Unless it's on the top, which is pretty much the case.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Well. I still remember the microbursts that hit the towers
here because I lived.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
In But again, that's at the top of a hill.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
All the time. Yeah, but it went right through my backyard.
That was wild because in my neighborhood where that microburst
went through, you could actually follow the trail of damage
in between the houses and my neighbor on both sides,
you would never have known anything even happened. Our house

(26:56):
knocked down a huge tree and ripped all of the
oh the things across. Yeah, the gutters off our house,
But our neighbors looked like nothing even happened. That was crazy.
That was absolutely crazy. Plus what it did to the
towers here for the radio station was insane too. It's
seven forty five on this Monday. Is the sunshine out yet?

(27:18):
I can't?

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yep, I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
No, I think it's gonna be dark again. You're listening
to the bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA, seven point fifty one on your Monday. Thanks
for jumping on with us, starting your morning off with
us The bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio, eleven

(27:42):
seventy WWVA. So did you watch the Derby?

Speaker 5 (27:47):
I watched two races going into the derby.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Didn't make it to the derby itself.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
Oh I have no I did, Oh yeah, I mean
I was. I was sitting on my computer doing some
things that I have to get done for this week. Yeah,
and not for my either job. This is like personal stuff.
And so I was definitely intrigued, and I had the
TV on peacock and was watching the pre races, the

(28:13):
two pre races before the Kentucky Derby, and all the interviews.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
And the build up and the outfits.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Common circumstance and everything going into it. So but yeah,
I watched it.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
I had all intentions, all intentions to watch it, had
it on, sat down, did a couple of things, and
I fell asleep.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
Nice I did.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
I just I zomped out. I was dead to the world.
I was out. So I completely missed it. Woke up
and saw and who was your pick for the Derby
Flying Mohawk?

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Oh you finished eighteenth out of nineteen Oh good. I
had Cold Battle, Yes, just for the for the name only.
I didn't you know. It wasn't just we were going
on names only. So I went with Cold Battle and
that was finished eleventh out of nineteen.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Oh well, neither of us did very well.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
Yeah, sovereignty was your winner. The journalism got second place.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
That was the favorite.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, Beza or Baiza. It was third and final game,
but was fourth the favorites. Some of the pre race
picks like Sandman finished seventh, Chunk of Gold finished ninth,
and Flying Mohawk was was one that people were picking too,
so obviously finished eighteenth.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
So Flying Mohawk never never took.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Sovereignty wasn't a big upset, I think, Like so, I
think Journalism went off at seven to two odds, and
I think, if I'm not mistaken, Sovereignty was like eight
to one or nine to one. So, you know, not
not a favorite, yeah, but not you know, not sixty
to one either.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Right, kind of in the middle, yeah, middle.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Probably toward the top.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Well, and then part of the now we've made it
to Monday, the big, the Big Saturday is over. The
question always is, you know what happens to the horses
that lose the derby? Did they get recycled?

Speaker 7 (30:05):
When you're hungry and you want value for your dollar,
come to kf H Kentucky Fried Horse. We keep our
costs down by serving only the freshest, low cost horses,
like the ones that lost this past weekend's Kentucky Derby.
It doesn't taste like a loser. That's because we roast
our horse meat the same way they ran slowly. It's

(30:25):
so tender. And try our Kentucky Fried horse sandwiches fresh
horse meat between two slices of our famous thorough bread.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Oh, I think I got a little saddle in mine.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
That's how you know it's fresh Kentucky Fried horse. Where
there's slowest horses become fast food.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Your reaction when you heard that, that's just disturbing. I
think that was a repeat. I think we may have
played that like two or three years ago.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Well, see here's the thing behind a little behind the
scenes for y'all. He finds these right Otis. Otis is
the one that does all.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Of this do I do probably eighty percent of the
little story show prep stuff.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Yeah, but you're you're good with the the the bit,
and he makes it a point to never give me
any type of clue idea.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Well, the title wind itself said Kentucky Fried Horse.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
So I mean, I know, but I didn't think it
was actually going to be you.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Know, No, I mean I used to do that when
bloom Daddy was sitting in that chair sometimes that we
would he didn't want to know what the comedy bit
was because he wanted to be have a natural reaction.
And you know, of course when Joey b started, he
he loved getting caught off guard by those in the

(31:47):
Bezos clips. So which Jeff Bezos may be stop him
by later he might be. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, bloom
Daddy never wanted to know, so I would never play him.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
They've just carried on the tradition.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Just you know, there's natural reaction that you want to
get and that is a little disturbing a little bit. Yeah,
they don't, you don't. They don't recycle them for food.
They just make them into glue.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
That's nice, that's great.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
So your horse finished eighteenth out of nineteen. So guess
what delicious.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Mohawk and all?

Speaker 5 (32:23):
No that that that horse was owned by Jason Worth
that used to play in the he was in the
major leagues. Did you still you didn't see it? But
he had on this black suit with like fluorescent green
trim and a fluorescent I mean he's got like long
hair and a beard and everything else. And his wife
date whatever it was, in a fluorescent green dress. I

(32:45):
mean they matched, but it was I mean I felt
like they could have been road barrels. Yeah, there were
so many there was so much fluorescent going on there.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Well. Sticking along in the sports, of course, everybody has
been talking about since last week the twenty year old
who fell over the barrier of the wall at the
Pirates game last week. His name is Cavin mark Wood,
of course, and went to college here locally and Wheeling University.
But some good news on that story, a little bit

(33:21):
of an update. He is now awake and alert after
that fall from the twenty foot wall at the Pirates game.
So some good news now.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
His girlfriend was posting some updates and you know he's
he is awake, but it's it's going to be a
long road back because I guess he landed on his
face and there's a skull fracture there as well.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Oh man, so man. And then also staying along baseball,
you know when we're kids, dads are are are superman.
You know, dads can do everything. They're they're invincible. While
this dad at a Yankees game over the weekend had
his daughter up on his shoulders. I'll share the I'll
share the video on our on our Facebook page. But

(34:03):
as he gets out his mitt to catch a fly ball,
his daughter sitting on his shoulders puts her hands completely
over his eyes. He cannot see a thing. But guess what,
he still caught the ball.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
He kind of went off his chest a little bit,
but it was a little bank.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
There, well bank shot. But he still got it.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, had it. You know he can he and Dalton
varshow can get together and maybe play for the Savannah bananas.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
And well and leave it up to the daughter, you know.
But good, good for him. It's a cute video. I'll
share it on our Facebook page. It's a seven fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I've got a couple of announcements I want to give
to you here on a Monday morning.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
One's very important and one I think is very fun.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So I'm going to start with the important one, and
that is Brave Men Incorporated presents Blue Tie Gala in
Evening of Hope. This is at River City I Works
right here in downtown Wheeling. This is this Saturday at
five o'clock. So once again this Saturday, May tenth, five
o'clock Brave Men. Their whole mission statement is pretty simple,

(35:44):
and that is to elevate awareness and exposure and emphasize
the significance of early detection and prostate cancer. So this
is for you guys, and I've hit on this many
many times, but we don't take our health serious a
lot of time. We don't get our checkups, we don't
do things in a timely fashion like our female counterparts do,

(36:06):
and that puts us behind the eight ball a lot.
So Brave Men, it's all about raising awareness about prostate cancer,
having conversations about men's health and also support, talking about
support groups and just getting you through different things when
it comes to maintaining your health. This is a gonna
be a very valuable function this Saturday at River City

(36:28):
AL Works, and it's going to be fun too. I
mean prostate cancer. Not a lot of things are fun
about that, But you know what I mean. When you
could get together with a bunch of guys talk about
something serious but also have a good time, I think it's.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
A win win for everybody.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
So Brave Men Incorporated, Blue Tie Gala and evening a
Hope River City air Works this Saturday, May tempt. The

Speaker 2 (39:32):
And I can remember, back in the days with the
big metropolis of Lafferty.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
My first turkey shoot.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I think I was nine or ten years old, and
I had an absolutely wonderful time. It's something that I
still remember to this day. I mean, Sam, you grew
up in the sticks. Odds are you probably shot a
gun at a turkey shoot.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Okay, So he has this. I don't know what he
envisions my childhood to be like or where I grew up,
but when he refers to it, honestly, it's either like
country bumpkin or the sticks or whatnot. No, I did
grow up in the country, but I am proud to
say we had running water, indoor facilities. It's not the

(40:15):
you know, I wasn't Laura Ingalls, which is the way
he sometimes portrays it as. But anyways, when it comes
to Turkey shoots, no, I have not been to a
turkey shoot, but I have shot many times, many times
and have had fun with it. And for those that
aren't familiar with turkey shoots, thanks to our friend Ronald

(40:35):
here reached out to us on Facebook. He says, I
used to work a turkey shoot. You have competition between
two people and two people at a time, and you
shoot at targets using shotguns with bebies. Closest to the
bulls eye wins that round and then moves on, you know,
continues on through. That's sort of that's how the one

(40:55):
he worked with worked. I'm not real familiar with him.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
And that's why never been to one. I always heard
them advertised, never been to one.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
Yeah, they kind of died off for a while. You
heard them all the time, and then it's.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Just kind of sometimes they use them as fundraisers, I think,
you know, and fundraisers change. I mean, the ideas come along,
you know, I mean steak fries used to be the
big thing and then and now it's like night at
the Races or something of that nature. So I mean there's.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
The spaghetti dinners used to be big.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
Yeah, or any type of that kind. Yeah, any type
of dinner. But as far as like entertainment, you know,
steak fries, could they you go and cook your steak
and have the DJ or a band or something. And
now that's you know, they do the night at the races.
There's I mean there's other well, then there's.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Dancing with the High Valley Stars.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
Then you know, I'm talking like smaller I'm talking like
smaller organizations like you know, like say a school booster
program or something. Yeah, but yeah, what's another Like they'll
do dueling pianos. Sometimes that's a that's a new big
that's a new one, you know, sometimes creates a buzz. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah, they're fun, they're fun. There's a lot of work
that goes into all that stuff. But and here's the
other thing about this that I really like. It's the
it's the education that these young people are going to
get at this day. It takes away the the hesitation
with with with guns, the the boogeyman, if you will,

(42:23):
that people try to level. Yeah, you're going to learn
a lot from some from some experienced I don't want
to say. It's not riflemen, that's not the word I
want to use, but those that are very well educated
and know what they're talking about when it comes to
to firearms. So that's an opportunity for those out there.

(42:45):
You know what today is also otis besides Cinco de Mayo,
a little bit of uh, where'd I put it? No no,
no rock trivia for you? Okay, So the rock and
roll era began began today when the Elvis Presley album
Elvis became the first rock LP to top the album

(43:09):
chart year nineteen fifty six.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Okay, so a year after rock and Roll basically debuted.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
I don't know that's according to this.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
Yeah, well Bill Haley in the comments or credit with
starting rock and roll with Rock around the Clock. It
was it was in the movie Blackboard Jungle. So it's
a fifties movie. Okay, But anyway, uh, and that was
that is considered to be the first rock and roll song.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Oh okay, Well, this says the era, the rock and
roll no, I get it kicked off with Elvis Blackboard Jungle.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
You know who was in that movie, Jamie Farr who
played Clinger on mash.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Oh, he was the guy that dressed up in women's clothes.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
Yeah, but his his name in his his his name
in the movie is Jamal. I mean when you look
at the credits, it's Jamal Ferrara. Oh instead of Jamie Farr.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Why did he wear women's.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
Close Because he was trying to get out of this
out of the army. He was looking for a section eight,
which means you go crazy. I mean that, you know,
That's why they they section eight means that you're mentally
not Yeah, that you're mentally unfit to be in the.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Army, not fit for it. All that could open a
whole cann of one.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
And that changed later on in the series. He stopped
wearing women's Oh diddy, yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
The character quote unquote developed a little bit. He knew
he was he was supposed to be a regular character.
He was supposed to be like he was supposed to
be like here and there, and that was it. Next thing,
you know, he was a regular Well it didn't work.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
It didn't work for him. It's eight sixteen on your
Senko to Mayo Monday, We'll be back. You're listening to
the Bloomdaddy Experience samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy w

Oh that's that's a great interest. Yeah, what what was
that saal this morning? Uh, there's morney spent on alcohol
on c than idio the holiday.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
Probably probably more money spent on alcohol and Cenco de
Mayo than the whole whole gross national profit of Mexico.

Speaker 6 (45:40):
But yeah, man, it's a you know, there's a lot
going on. It's a big weeke in, you know, a
little run for the roses.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
Have some fun there. Did your horse win?

Speaker 6 (45:48):
Party? Go ahead?

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Did your horse win?

Speaker 6 (45:52):
I did a trifecta and a super Fecta and I
had sovereignty and journalism in both of them, but it
didn't work out. That happens, Yeah, sam Man got me. Okay,
you know, but anyway, but you know, like you said, hey,
you know, if you want to get out today, it's
going to be absolutely gorgeous for most of the day.
We have got every unit in stock on sale. There's

(46:15):
of eleven hundred vehicles to choose from. At the Strib
Automotive Group, you've got two of the number one Honda
dealers in the entire state of West Virginia. We sell
more Hontas than anyone. Everything we have right now, I
cannot stress enough to you is care free. Okay, don't
miss your opportunity to put a care free automobile in

(46:38):
your driveway. This month. Ford is still running employee pricing.
You pay what the Ford employees pay, as well as Chrysler, Dodge,
Deep and Ram is also doing employee pricing. We had
a bunch of vehicles come in this weekend at all
the stores, so don't miss your opportunity to say so.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
I have one comment, okay, the Hyundai Santa Fe. Yes,
I got behind one the other day and when they
kept hitting their tail lights. I kept thinking their tail
lights looked like dog bones. It looks like what dog bones?
Dog bones like it looks like a milk bone when
you've hit.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
The Yeah, my daughter just got a new one, a
new Santa Fe okay, and absolutely loved it. I mean,
the technology in that the Hondai product is probably without
a doubt, it's so far superior to most automobiles. Is
prizy vehicles really cool things? Yeah, at a great price point,

(47:34):
very very affordable vehicles. So if you've never checked out
a Honday, get on today. Check out the Hyundai and
see for yourself how much you say on a vehicle.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
All right, buddy, Hi guys, you'll have both audios.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Okay, Now I'm gonna I'm gonna purposely try to find
a Hundai Santa Fe to see the tail lights.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
They look like dog bones.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Is that an suv?

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Or is that a Yeah, that's an suv? Okay, Yeah,
it's pretty. I mean it's a good looking vehicle, but
it went like I got behind it. The only thing
I could think of was milkbones.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
All Right, I'm gonna have to really pay attention now
because I have not seen that yet. Has not caught
my attention.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
It's like a horizontal bar, and then they're on each
end of the horizontal bar like two squares, like two squares,
and so it just gives that impression of it looks like,
you know, the stereotypical dog bone.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Oh okay, interesting, interesting. You know what else is happening today?
Like I said, it is Sinco de Mayo. But the
jury selection begins in the p Diddy Sean Combe's puff
daddy who knows what his nickname is currently sitting in prison.

(48:44):
I'm sure we could come up with a couple of
good ones, but jury selection does begin in the sex
trafficking trial for him. I'm surprised, Uh, he's made it
this long. I figured he would be Epstein by now,
but that hasn't happened.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Well, he turned down to plead deal. I saw that
about a week or so ago.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Yeah, if you have not watched any of the documentaries
that are out there about this trial and it fascinates you,
there is one currently on Peacock where one of his
former assistants I think he was the assistant from oh god,
I want to say twenty eighteen to twenty one, so

(49:25):
fairly recently, really interesting interview but of course he is
has pled not guilty too and has viemillly denied any wrongdoing.
Of course, he has charged with sex trafficking the freak
parties and I'm sorry not freak offs that he's accused of.

(49:47):
There's of course the conversation about the baby oil and
all of that kind of stuff. But basically he was
using his his status as a music producer missing success
to women and they would do these kind of things.

(50:08):
Just the whole thing is just dirty and yeah, it's
just the house to just makes you. I don't know,
it'll be interesting though, will will he? Uh? I mean,
of course he's got to have the most expensive lawyers
money can buy, you know, for a legal team. So

(50:33):
we'll see, we'll see if he uh, if he gets
away with it or not or gets off from it,
who knows. But the other the other thing when it
comes to the jury selection today, you know, the whole
point is to find somebody that doesn't know a lot
about the case, that is unbiased, that can come in
and listen to what is presented from both sides and

(50:55):
make a decision where they have not been affected or
influenced by outside stories or like documentaries that I just
mentioned it's going to be tough to find somebody that
is completely untouched by this story who doesn't have some
sort of preconceived thoughts before they sit in the jury box.

(51:20):
That'll be interesting to see. But yes, the the jury
selection begins today in the Sean Diddycomb's federal trial. This
is a federal federal level charges. So these are huge,
huge charges that he is he is facing. It's eight
twenty eight. You're listening to No Okay. You're looking at

(51:47):
me like I'm nuts.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
Well you are okay.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience here on news
Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Welcome back to the bloom Daddy Experience on eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
How about mother nature? Huh?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
I hate April. I hate may you know that. I've
told you that a thousand times. Because of the rain,
everything is mud. It reminds me back when I was
a kid growing up in Lafferty. Not a damn thing
to do, stuck in the house, everything just depressing, muddy awful. Well,
how about these storms though, I mean, I don't remember
as a kid getting these sort of significant storms back

(52:30):
to back to back to back I can remember getting
you know, being ten or eleven years old. Storms always
kind of frightened me. The big ones. It seemed like
we got one or two. Now it's one or two
a week, if not one, two, three, four five in
a row.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
And tornadoes.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Back in the eighties nineties, you never heard of a
tornado in the Ohio Valley. Now every time you turn around,
seems like there's a tornado sighted outside of Barnesville, or
a tornado around Taping Lake, or a tornado wherever it
may be, Moundsville, Shady Side. And recently these thunderstorms been
blown through in the winds. I mean the month of April,

(53:09):
as much as it rained, it was the wind more
than anything. And I got a house out of tap
In Lake.

Speaker 6 (53:15):
It.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I think that Frontier should just set up a substation
out at Tapping Lake because they're out there weekly, whether
it's internet going down, electricity going down. It just seems
like forty to fifty seventy mile hour winds every time
you turn around. And recently out of Tapping Lake there
was a lot of damage to some homes out there.

(53:38):
It just came through the bay. Nobody knows if it
was a tornado. A wind shear or what. But it
was last week when those eighty mile hour winds came.
My son was out at Harrison Central at the baseball game,
and he said it was like nothing he'd ever seen.
Everything was fine, and then all of a sudden, for
about ten minutes, wins that he's never seen before rain.

(53:59):
He said, Dad, it was like the end of the
world for ten minutes and then it was gone. But
you know, you think back fifteen twenty thirty years ago,
and I know the atmosphere is changing. I know the
environment is changing. Climate, call it whatever you want. The
debate is whether or not it's man made or not.
I don't think it is. I think it's Mother Nature
being mother nature. But it just seems like anymore we

(54:24):
don't get a regular old thunderstorm with a little bit
of lightning, a little bit of thunder, some hard rain,
something that you can actually enjoy. Now it's run for
your basement, make sure your porch umbrella is down, don't
stand near the windows, and God forbid you have any
trees around your house. I mean, otis Sam, think back

(54:44):
fifteen twenty twenty five years ago, or go back to
when you were a kid, back in your teenage years,
do you remember the weather being this severe as often
as what we're dealing with now.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
I don't. I don't remember it being this severe. I
remember there being severe weather, but not so closely together.
It seems like the past four days, three or four days,
it's been it's bright and sunny, and then all of
a sudden, it's like a movie. It gets really dark,

(55:17):
and then all of a sudden there's just this torrential
downpour and thunder and lightning. And then by the time
you run around your house and you get your windows
closed and everything's tightened up because of the storm, the
sun's out. I just don't remember it being such a
a back to back drastic weather change is what we

(55:38):
have seen recently. I don't know. But the wind and
everything that we've experienced, it has been. It has been. Uh,
it's been a lot. I know up on my hill
there has been a few things that have flew through
the air that looked like they should have been headed
to OZ and the tornado like the wackup general bike.
But yeah, the weather has been. It's been interesting. It's

(56:01):
given us plenty to talk about, that's for sure. Oh,
does you live up on a hilltop too, don't you
sort of Yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Do, but I mean I'm not on the top of
the hill, but I'm on a hill.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
Yeah. Yeah, you have more people surrounding you.

Speaker 5 (56:14):
Oh yeah, I mean, like, you know, like my driveway
and my neighbor's driveway are so like my neighbor, my
neighbor to my I guess left, his driveway butts right
up against my yard, and then the other neighbor to
my right. There's a little, i don't know, three foot
four foot grassy patch in between our driveways. So I

(56:36):
mean there's not a lot of room in between our houses,
but I mean it's comfortable.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Yeah, I'll tell you what though, I'm getting tired of
picking up the tree limbs and searching for this and
searching from that.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
I have a small tree in my front yard and
like the last two storms that have come through, a
limb has come down, and I just step on it
and break them and then I take it over. My
neighbor across the street has a woodpole right outside of
his driveway. I just set on top of these wood
pile just add to it. Yeah he didn't, I said, Hey,
I had a limb go down and there was one
I couldn't I couldn't break so it was a little long,

(57:08):
and said, hey, I just left it there on top.
He goes, okay, I'll just take it out in the
back and burn it. So this one, if it depending
on if I can break it or not, depends on
if I if I even tell him or not. He
doesn't care. He's a pretty good neighbor. Well.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
As we mentioned a couple times this morning, it is
Sinco Demayo. Chipotle has a delivery special going on. But
guess who else can't stay out of the game. Of course,
it is the one and only Taco Bell. So what
they're doing is you can score a free Nacho's Bell
Grande with your order of twenty dollars or more. To
qualify for the deal, orders must be placed on deer Door, Dash,

(57:44):
Uber Eats, or grub Hub. So really, once you pay
the delivery fee, the free Nacho's Bell Grande really isn't free.

Speaker 5 (57:55):
I was watching on Patrol Live. I don't know if
it was Friday or Saturday night. That's where they follow
the cop thing. Yeah, but they follow them around live,
and they pulled over a girl whose license was expired.
Her on her car, Her driver's license was suspended, she
didn't have insurance. I mean, she had everything going wrong,
and she was a door dasher Uber each driver, and

(58:17):
she had pizza, and so they were the one cop
said hey, can you take it? And the one cop
was kind of a Richard. Yeah, Richard had and he went,
I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it, and the
other one goes, I guess I'll do it. And he
took the two pizzas and the bridge and then so
like she's going, hold on, you forgot the sauces. I
mean it was it was cop. And then so he goes,

(58:38):
do you have a bag or something to put these in?
And she's like so he's like opening up the boxes
and putting the sauces in. He goes, you can't have
these things without these sauces. So he said, I just
don't want to fly it over my car. So the
police officer, he was the Uber driver, door dash delivery
or whatever you want to call it, I'm.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
Gonna have the breadsticks. You have to have the dipping sauce.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
I mean, I respect him for that. Yeah, you know,
I mean, how would you like to be that customer
sitting there waiting waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
Well, and then you would call the restaurant, yeah, and they.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
Would say left a half an hour ago, forty minutes ago, Right,
is your food going to be hot? No?

Speaker 4 (59:14):
I wonder if you got a tip.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
They didn't follow him. He wasn't the guy that they
followedly followed like two cruisers a night in each location.
So now if if they more of them show up,
sometimes they'll talk to them. But yeah, it was a
pretty good on this past weekend. I kind of like,
at you, what's that one reels? So you can get
it through Peacock?

Speaker 4 (59:38):
Oh okay, Yes, my heart was broken this weekend because
Peacock and the Hallmark channel have parted ways, so I
can't watch Hallmark on through the Peacock app anymore. I know,
it's heartbreaking. Where am I going to watch my Christmas
movies and everything?

Speaker 5 (59:56):
They're all the same, Like you've seen one, you've seen
them all.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
I went to watch something this weekend, I'm like, where
did it go? Yeah, they broke up. They did not
find true love. At the end of that movie, you're
just taking your head. Oh well, if you're looking to move,
get a change of scenery. There's a new city coming
to Texas, the City of Starbase. Residents of Cameron County

(01:00:27):
voted to create the city of Starbase, centered around one
of Elon Musk's SpaceX facilities. The company designs, builds, and
launches its rockets from the small coastal area near the
border of Mexico. The measure passed passed overwhelming overwhelmingly, with
voters also electing the city's first mayor as well as

(01:00:49):
two city commissioners. All are employees of SpaceX and all
ran unopposed. So basically, they took over this entire piece
of land for their company, for the company, and now
they've incorporated it and made it a town that would
be cool to put on your your return address labels

(01:01:10):
Star Based Texas.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
Yeah, why not? Well that you know the Houston Astros
when they wear their city uniforms for Major League Baseball,
it says space City on it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Oh does it? Well, you're going to see flying cars
and everything probably at some point, Wait how long until
the conspiracy theories start about what is happening in this
small town? You know, you know they're going to you
know they're going to Oh, it's eight forty five you're
listening to The bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio

(01:01:43):
eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome Back eight fifty one The bloom
Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven WWVA. So President

(01:02:04):
Trump called somebody, actually called somebody a good guy. All right,
He says something called him a good guy after Jeff
Bezos reversed the plan to itemize the cost of tariffs
in the price of products on Amazon. That's when President
Trump called him a good guy. This is not sitting
well at all with Besos, who's been trying so hard

(01:02:27):
to cultivate his image as the evil genius. Here he
is with much more.

Speaker 8 (01:02:35):
I am Jeff bezis with an official rebuke of Donald Trump.
Last week, the President referred to me as something enormously insulting.
He called me a quote good guy. What the work here, bro,
I'm out here trying to be an evil genius. I'm
the reason Amazon workers were adult diapers. I single handedly

(01:02:56):
sabotage Katy Perry's career.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
If I'm a good guy, then.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
Why am I assembling two ordered of the.

Speaker 8 (01:03:03):
Most reprehensible humans on the planet to be guessed at
my wedding. Make it make sense, mister President. I suppose
it's possible that after hanging around with Elon Musk for
the past six months, by comparison, everyone else is a
good guy.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
You're killing me smalls.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Where did he pull that from? I don't know. For
some reason, with that and the Alcatraz story this morning,
as he's talking, I'm just envisioning him and President Trump
sitting in Alcatraz, like laughing back and forth about being
an evil genius. Like, for some reason, because that's been

(01:03:48):
on the TV all morning, is Trump's conversation about reopening Alcatraz.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
No, maybe I share that story since maybe some people
don't know about it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
I'll go for it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
Oh you want me to do it? Yeah, Well, I
guess he's directing the President. Trump is directing the Bureau
of Prisons, and they want to reopen and expand historic
Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Trump put on a post on True
Social that America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and
repeat criminal offenders, and that the country in the past
did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals

(01:04:20):
and keep them far away from anyone that they could harm.
I guess He went on to say that Alcatraz will
house America's most ruthless and violent offenders, adding that will
serve as a symbol of law, order and justice. Alcatraz
sits on a small island about a mile off the
shore of San fran It served as a prison from
nineteen thirty four to nineteen sixty three and is now
a museum. I don't know how you're I don't know

(01:04:43):
how you could use Alcatraz.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Well, that's what I was going to say. It's been
closed for over sixty years.

Speaker 5 (01:04:47):
Yeah, and it's you know, it's very outdated.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
Yeah, just the physical structure.

Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
You would have just to upgrade it. Yeah, I'm not
saying that you have to be. But like it would
be like a third world prison right now. I mean,
it wouldn't be safe probably for the guards. It wouldn't
be safe for you know, the prisoners. I mean, the
chance of escaping is probably slimmed and none.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
But well, let's put it this way. For somebody who's
in real estate, like President Trump, the the the cost
of the refurbishment of that facility to make it within
the realm of the living, Now I get it. They
would be prisoners. They're not going to be.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
No, but you'd have to up I mean, I'm sure,
like like plumbing surely would not be. You're gonna have
to redo all the plumbing. You're gonna have to redo
all the electric. There's a lot of things that would
have to be done. And just I don't think you'd
be better off building a new prison.

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
Tear down, yeah, or you couldn't.

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
You can't tear it down because it's it's a history.
Well that's true, but I mean I think if you
had the idea to do something similar, but I don't.
I just don't know how you could do Alcatraz again.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
No, no, Well, and then the other side of it is,
if you've ever toured the Moundsville Penitentiary, the first thing
that really caught my attention were how small the cells were,
and I'm sure Alcatraz is probably similar because people were
smaller height wise, and I mean people were just smaller.

(01:06:18):
Back then.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
We used to play softball in the penitentiary.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
My dad played a football game down there.

Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
They had a league that was actually in the penitentiary,
so there were teams of prisoners and when you played,
you played a doubleheader every time, so you would get
down and then sometimes like you wouldn't play the prisoners.
So like let's say it would be our team was
like Lantis, Krause, Delhi or the Bridge Tavern or whatever
we were, and then you would play say Joe's Bar

(01:06:47):
and Grill they had a team, well you might play
them in there. And then the prisoners just watched all
they just watched.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
They didn't participate.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
They didn't participate that day, but they had games almost
every day, you know, and the prisoner they got, you know,
they probably played three out of the five days that
you played, or you know, two of the three days.
And then the outside team played the doubleheader. And it
was a I mean, it was a legitimate league. They
the prisoners made plats for like all the MVPs, and
you know, you know it's kind of neat.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
You know. Did you ever see Alcatraz?

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:07:18):
Never been to San Francisco, Neither been to Southern California.
Have never been to northern California. Been to Southern California
twice once as a little kid seven years seven years old,
seven and a half whatever I was, did go to Disneyland,
swam in the Pacific Ocean, you know, saw La but
it don't remember a whole lot. Yeah, and then I
was in San Diego back in twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Two, so Alcatraz would be a really interesting tour.

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
Oh I believe so. Yeah. I mean some of the
stories that came out of there, I mean movies have
been made about. Yeah, some of the things that happened
at Alcatraz.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
So Nicholas Cage.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
And well, Clint Eastwood was in the was in the
escape movie. And then there's the movie The Birdman of Alcatraz.
I can't remember, but a big actor in that one.

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
Aren't There still some prisoners that are still missing that
they tried to escape and they never know they never did.
He never found them.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
Yeah, that was that was with this. That was the
movie that Clint Eastwood was in. Okay, I can't remember
the name of it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
That's got to be an oldie.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
Oh yeah, Bert and Valcatraz sixty This is a nineteen
sixty two film. Who is the star? This guy looks familiar.
I can't think of his name. Oh Burt Lancaster.

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
Oh yeah, that's a pretty well known.

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
So Burt Lancaster, Carl Malden, Telly Savalis. So they were
all in it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
I'll tell you what President Trump was. Uh, he was
all over social media this weekend. Have you seen the
images of him celebrating or they came up with where
he's holding a lightsaber for yesterday? Oh my gosh. And
the thing that's funny is when he puts stuff like
that out or his team or whoever does it, people

(01:09:00):
lose their minds and it's like, can you not take
some humor from it? Like a lot of the times,
that's what it is. It's not necessarily exactly what you
think it is. It's a joke. Light up people. Some
people just can't. Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:09:19):
So the movie Clint Eastwind was in was Escape from
Alcatraz and it came out in seventy nine.

Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
What was the Nicholas Cage one? Oh shoot, it was
a good one too. It's good the Rock. That's it,
The Rock him and not Sean Connery. Sean Connery are
in it together. Anyways, everybody, enjoy your Monday. Try not
to go to Alcatraz or or any prison for that matter. Yes, exactly, exactly.

(01:09:46):
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
