Speaker 1 (00:01):
The number one talk show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA starts.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now, Well, good Wednesday morning. Thank you for kicking off
your morning with us, The Bloomdaddy Experience. Otis and Sam
Otis say hi hi here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Oh some things to hit off, uh hit out right

(00:40):
off the bat. We're gonna have some chances to win
this morning. We have some tickets here for the Wheeling Miners,
so stay tuned for that. Another thing usually on Wednesday,
of course, is Politics Unleashed with Elgie McCardell. Well, due
to some traveling and things like that, we're flip flop
the show. Usually Elgin joins us in the eight o'clock hour,

(01:03):
where she's going to join us here very shortly in
the seven o'clock hour, so we are sort of we
are going and reverse. It's going to mess up my
time clock. Use Usually when I'm talking to Aligion, it's like, Okay,
we're almost done. Nope, we're just kicking it off. So
doing a little flip flopping here this morning, and again
we're gonna have your chance to win a four pack
to see the Wheeling miners down the road from us

(01:26):
here at West Banco Arena. So let's jump off with
some local stories here in Wheeling. Water service could be
interrupted today. Some residents along North seventh Street and North
eighth Street maybe without water throughout the day. Wednesday. Cruise
will be making repairs to the water system near Warwood Avenue.

(01:49):
A forty eight hour boil order will be in effect
once the work is completed. So again that is going
to happen in the North seventh Street and North eighth
Street locations. There will be interruptions in water this morning
and are under a boil or a forty eight hour
boil order, so pay attention to that. Also, multiple Walgreens

(02:12):
locations in the Ohio Valley are expected to close in
the coming weeks. It includes stores located in Fallensby and
New Martinsville. Officials said the business is struggling and the
move would help operations as a whole. The drug store
chain will handle the transfer prescription to other locations. This
comes on the heels of recently if you have seen

(02:34):
this story, right, Aids across the entire nation are closing
all locations. So Walgreens and write Aids not a lot.
I don't use either of those. Where are where's that?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, there's a bunch of Walgreens. There's one in there's
one in them Grove right there by McDonald's. There is
one in Moundsville. The one in Benwood has closed due
to the flooding from down there.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, then.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
You know the thing about so the Walgreens came in
and bought out all the rate aids in our area,
or most of the rate aids, I should say. And
you know the thing is, I've been to the one
in New Martinsville. I've been to the one in Fallensby
with my other job, and they are relatively large stores
and not a lot of traffic. Okay, to be honest

(03:27):
with you, the followings Bee stores a lot bigger than
the New Martinsville store. But every time we go to
the New Martinsville store, there's maybe like one person in.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
There, maybe two tops.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
You go out to the Walgreens in On Grove and
it's always packed, Like the line to check out it's
always like three or four people long. I mean and
the pharmacy there. And I used to use the Walgreens
in Benwood for my pharmacy.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Now I use the one in on Grove.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I know a lot of people that do it. I
hate to say it online now. Yeah, you know there's
a discount, there's you know, you can get more, you know,
to go every month. It can be in factor, it's unfortunate.
One other thing I wanted to mention the weird in
police department is alerting the public. There is a new
phone scam floating around every week, isn't it seem like

(04:12):
every week? Otis there's a new one somewhere here in
the valley involving someone posing as a police officer. Once again,
this does not happen. If this is happening to you,
they are not legitimate, do not give them any information.
They provide you with a callback number, do not call

(04:33):
the number back. They will continue to impersonate a police officer.
So once again, if you are receiving these phone calls,
they are not legit, do not call them back, Do
not provide any personal information. Man the time and effort
that these people put into.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's their job. Yeah, I mean it is.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean, we come here and you know,
we do this job, and then we both go on
to our other jobs. Yours is still here, mind is elsewhere,
and these people sit around eight hours a day, ten
hours a day thinking of scams and how they can
beat people out of money.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was funny last week I was at the salon
getting my hair done and there was this woman there
and I think she was getting her nails done, and
she just kept getting phone call after phone call after
a phone call, to the point where people were starting
to look at her like, okay, tell the kids to
stop calling whatever it was. Well, finally she said to

(05:36):
one of the workers there, it's some scammer. They won't
stop calling. I've asked nicely, I hang up on them,
and they're the ones that just keep calling back and
calling back and calling back. Well, finally, when they called again,
this other girl answered the phone and she started speaking
in I don't know if it was Spanish, I don't

(05:57):
know if it was just crazy gibbery. I don't know
what it was. It was absolutely hilarious though, because she
put it on speakerphone and you could hear the person
trying to get a word in. But this girl just
kept talking and kept talking and kept talking, and finally
this person they didn't know what to do, and they

(06:18):
hung up. But guess what, they didn't call back. They
didn't call back. It was It was hilarious. Everybody started rolling.
I thought, good for you. I might try that trick
next time. I might give that a try next time.
So again, if any of that kind of stuff is
happening to you and you get those phone calls, just don't,

(06:39):
just don't. And quickly wanted to bring this up. So
last week in the tone of Poultergeist, and I said
she's back, referring to Kamala Harris. Well again in the
tone of Poltergeist. This time, I'm gonna say he's back,
because it's a he. Dylan Mulvaney's back in the headlines now,

(07:03):
of course, if you don't recognize that name, this is
the trans influencer who almost completely sank Budweiser a couple
of years ago. If you remember that whole story, absolutely
tanked the brand. They saw record loss. Well, some other

(07:26):
company has decided to make this person the face of
their brand, because you know, you don't step back and up. Hmmm,
this works so well for bud Light No no, no, no, no.
This time it's Versace, one of the most luxurious names

(07:47):
in fashion, one of the oldest fashion houses in the world,
has decided to make this man the spokesperson or their
female line. It's just mind boggling that they continue. These

(08:13):
brands continue to do this. Here's the only thing the
prices of their stuff. It won't affect me. I can
tell you that want to influence me to buy their clothes.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, I'm not purchasing any pulogy anyway.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
No, not not real high up on your your shopping list.
But now Dylan's the spokesperson. That doesn't make you wanna
no yes. Once again, these brands are taking this person

(08:49):
on thinking because what it's gonna do, It's gonna create traffic.
It's going to create people like you, like me talking
about this will get people to their website because they
want to see the pictures of this guy dressed as
a girl, and hopefully they'll get some sales out of it.
Or they're towing the cultural line that the elites have

(09:10):
told us how to shop, how to live, and they're
they're catering to that very small portion of the customer
base because guess what they're the ones that have the money.
Seven point fifteen. Coming up, we've got Politics Unleashed with
Elgim mccartal. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience, samon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back at seven

(09:45):
twenty one on this Wednesday. You're listening to the bloom
Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. As
I said, we're kind of flip flopping the show this morning,
so we're gonna kick off Politics Unleashed with Elgie mccardal. Right, now,
good morning, Elgin.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
How are you good? How are you doing? Relaxing a
little bit of that ah, lovely, lovely. I'm sure you're
a little different, a little bit of a little bit
different environment than Otis and I are in this morning.
We'll just we'll just say that there's a little envy

(10:25):
sitting here behind this microphone. I'm not afraid to admit it,
a little a little envious sitting here. But let's let's
get into this. So one of the biggest stories right now,
of course, and it started over the weekend or early
on Friday, was the storming of the ice facility by
the three Democratic lawmakers from New Jersey. Now there's speculation

(10:49):
and calls, there are calls being made for legal action
to be taken now, and then followed that by AOC
who got on Instagram and she lays, you know, she's
saying threats of you know, you lay hands on any lawmakers,
there's gonna be We're going to have a problem. What
are your thoughts. Do you think that there should be

(11:12):
some sort of legal action taken against these three people?

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Well? Sure, I mean all you have to do is
compare to the situation to quote unquote January sixth. You know,
again we go back to hypocrisy. They can do whatever
they want. They shout no one's above the law, but
yet their leaders are the ones who are instigating. And

(11:41):
it's just there should be no one is above the law,
and action should be taken against those who are breaking it.
And you're storming an ice facility in favor of illegals.
Is just not appropriate.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, and I love it. I love that you said
nobody's above the law because we brought that up on Monday.
Otis and I were talking about it and I said,
there seems to be this this moral superiority complex that
the the democratic side has that because they believe in
what they believe in, that they can get away with

(12:20):
what they want. And I want to I want to
credit listener Randy to this. He emailed after the show
self perceived moral authority. I think that's very well said.
And how a lot of these democratic lawmakers think that
they can just trample all over the laws.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah, I mean it's I don't know why, Well, well
I don't. I really don't understand it. I don't know
why they do what they do. I don't know why
they think that that somehow resonates with the constituents. It's
it's just bizarre. It's a bizarre thought process. But then again,
they are bizarre. To to just kind of arch hand

(13:01):
in hand, you know, lockstep towards something that is not
permitted by law is just stupid, quite frankly.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now, now, member member of Members of Congress, they have
the authority to view facilities, do they not? But isn't
there a protocol that has to be done for access
or am I misunderstanding?

Speaker 5 (13:26):
No? I think well, there is there's a protocol for
access to anything, whether it be a prison, even even
I as an attorney. There's protocols that we must follow
to go visit clients in jail. I mean, when you
have a facility, every facility is entitled to set their
own policies and procedures for visits. And that's exactly what

(13:48):
it is. And just like they went down to El Salvador,
I'm sure that prison certainly didn't have Oh well, just
come on down, whatever you want, we'll just let you in.
I'm sure there's a lot of red tape and paperwork
that goes with so hey, and and those are polities
of procedures that aren't necessarily quote unquote laws that are
that are across the board. But nevertheless, they're policies and

(14:09):
procedures that each facility is entitled to set. It's just
for orderly process. I mean, it's you can't you go
to the d m V. You got to take a number.
There's just there's everything has an orderly process, and it
keeps things going in in a manner that is organized well.
And you just can't storm in there and stop your

(14:31):
feet and say, hey, I want this done, because release
these people, because because I say so.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, and then and here's the thing. If if you
are the d O J and you have to make
this the decision. It's it's a no win scenario because
if you if you bring charges, then they're gonna play
the victim through and through. I mean, they're just they're
gonna play that up like crazy. If you do not

(14:59):
bring some sort of legal action to try and get
back some normalcy, they're going to continue to do this
kind of stuff and probably take it to a new level.
So how do you win, How do you win to
bring back common sense to some of these folks? Or
can you.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well, you can't. You can't control what somebody else does.
You can only control how you react to it. And
I think reacting to it has to be in accordance
with the law. And as long as you are doing
things in the correct manner, in the right manner of
following the law, following due process. Is that you know

(15:41):
that has now gone by the way shots, you know,
it's just it's the due process in releasing somebody is
just the same as the due process in taking somebody.
So they need to You can't control what they do.
You just need to enforce the laws as they are written. Yeah,

(16:01):
and not you know, with any kind of you know,
spin or well, that's what this It only applies to
me or you. It doesn't apply to me. Do as
I say, not as I do. That that's their whole mantra.
And I just don't think you can't control it, you know,
looking applying to do as I say, not as I do,
to the most current thing that is happening with regard

(16:23):
to the Qatar giving the gied states.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
What's that the jumbo jet?

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, yeah, the jumbo jet. Let's say. Okay, so that
is being you know, take millions of dollars for the taxpayers.
It's not being given to quote Trump, It's being given
to the defense. So what is it's okay to give
millions of dollars through sham LLC's directly to a the

(16:52):
presidential family, the bidens and what all they they took.
But it's not okay to take a gift. This has
already been quote unk quote earned by virtue of the
fact that we have defended guitar and so as a
as a return grad quote that's what they're giving.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I mean, okay, otis has the music playing for me,
So hold that thought. We're going to get into that
in a couple more things. When we returned. So it's
seven twenty eight. You're listening to the bloo Daddy Experience,
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. We are back

(17:29):
seven point thirty six on this Wednesday, which means it's
politics unleashed. We're right smack in the middle of it
with Elgin mccartal. We still got you, Elgin.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, I'm back.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Okay, Okay. I saw the phone going up and down
and there with Otis. I wasn't sure if we might
have had a disconnect.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
So prior to did have a disconnector we're back?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, good. So prior to the break you brought up
this whole the controversy. Let's just say about the jet
that has been given as a gift to the United States,
it was not and has not been given to President
Trump personally. Can we clarify that.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Please, Yes, it definitely hasn't been given to him personally.
Everybody thinks that it's been given to him personally, and
it has not been given to the United States. The
millions of dollars that are being air saved in taxpayer dollars,
it is obviously evident. But as we were saying before

(18:31):
the break, millions of dollars were given to the Biden
family through Sham LLC's and redirected to the family itself,
and they would so the money was being directly given
to and benefited by the Biden family. But you know,
this jet is not being given to President Trump. President

(18:51):
Trump has his own pain, as everybody recalls during the campaign.
He has his own playing you know with whatever Trump
whatever it was. And so he doesn't need a plane.
He doesn't need them to give him a plane. He
has a plane, and he earned the money to buy
the plane. So it's just it's a complete champ well frankly.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
And they're making it out to be as if the
United States has never accepted a gift from another nation before,
like this is groundbreaking that this gift is being given
to the US, like it's never happened before. It's it's ridiculous.
They are looking for controversy wherever they can make it happen.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah, let's let's look at the Statue of liberty right
back to the United States. Brandow exec give that.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Back exactly exactly. So let's turn the page a little bit.
There is a possible bill that Jim Jordan is he
hasn't yet done it, but this is swirling around and
it's starting to catch fire where there will be a
proposed bill that would require American born citizen ship for

(20:00):
both the presidency and members of Congress.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Now, well, I always thought it was that required.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, that's already required, and it's in the Constitution.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
But the the there is no requirement that you be
American born to be a Congressional representative, not that I
know of. And I mean, it's that's interesting, but I
think I'm not sure how I feel about that. Okay,
I just I think that you need to be an
American citizen. There were lots of like Henry Kissinger as Secretary, say,

(20:41):
I mean he was there. There are a lot of
people who were not necessarily American born who have been
large contributors to the history and historically, and I think
that I'm not sure. I don't know how I feel
about that.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
That because there's I mean, there's quite frankly, there's a
lot of American born individuals who don't have who are
clueless about how the government works and are clueless about civics. So,
you know, I don't know how I feel about that.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, Well, let me let me spin it a little bit.
Do you feel there should be an age limit on
sitting officials for example.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Congress, I'm not sure that there should be an age
limit as much as there should be a mental and
physical capability. I mean, you know what I mean. I
think there's certainly I think more than age and physical
uh faculties. I think maybe term limits is more appropriate,

(21:47):
because if you put a term limit on the time
that an individual can serve, that certainly is in and
of itself and a tool that can be used to
eliminate age issues. You see what I'm saying. Yes, Yes,
if there's if there's a certain age that you cannot

(22:09):
run for office, if you are x x amount of
years and you can only serve a certain term, then
I think that would be that would I guess, back
doorway of limiting the age without putting an age limit
on it?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Right? You know what I'm saying, Yes, exactly, exactly. Okay.
So I'm glad you brought up mental faculties because we
are seeing book after book after books. So I've got
to listen in front of me. This here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
and two on the way. So we are seeing book
after book come out with behind the scenes stories, first

(22:51):
hand accounts, sources that were in the White House with
the Biden administration, painting the picture of what we all
thought was going on. But we're learning more and more
about the falling mental stability of the sitting president at
the time. Now there's speculation where they're saying that folks

(23:14):
in his inner circle were talking about the use of
a wheelchair and was it time for that? As this
stuff continues to come out once again, I'm going to
go back to the legal card. Should there be an investigation,
Should there be some sort of and can there be
once they're out of office? Is there any way to
hold anybody accountable if it has proven true that this

(23:38):
was a giant cover up?

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Oh? Absolutely, I think you can. There. There has been
a significant amount of individuals coming forward saying that you know,
Biden didn't didn't have all those faculties, and that he
needed to be on the wheelchair, et cetera, et cetera.
Why now? And I think the I think the news
clips that I saw indicated that what they wanted to

(24:02):
do is say, Okay, we can't put him in a wheelchair.
Until after the election and if he wins, though, he
needs to be in a wheelchair. If he needs to
be in a wheelchair, he needs to be in a wheelchair,
whether it be before the election or after the election
or anyway. That's that's a whole another thing. But yeah,
should there be legal action, Absolutely, there should be legal
action gets those who covered up or assume the office

(24:27):
of the Presidency or use that whatever that is, that
automatic pen.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yes, that called forget pen.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, the pendent does all the executive orders. You know,
you can't you can't just be Joe Schmoe. I mean,
I'm sure there wasn't any Joe off the street, but
the the individuals who were signing those executive orders without
really being elected by the people situs. I think it's
just people were just quy, not wrong. It's just wrong.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Well it's it's for it's fraud. It's it's fraud on
the American public.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
And I think exactly, and I think that doesn't have
a statute of limitations. I think they can do that well.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
And that's where I think people are getting frustrated because
there's so many things hanging out there like this, like
the the mental stability of our president for four years.
There's the question about that. There's the question about the
Pennsylvania shooter, the young man I can't think of his
name right now. There's a question about the gentleman in
Florida that was caught. Where do things stand with investigating this?

(25:34):
Why are we not hearing things? This is where conspiracies,
conspiracy theories breed. Like the kid in Pennsylvania, where's his parents?
You know, his body was cremated immediately, people have questions
and we're not getting any answers, and it's frustrating.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
It is and I think, you know, I think they
are looking into it. But obviously any act of investigation
can't be put out there because then facts are made
up that don't exist and rumors spread.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, and that's where again, like I said, that's where
conspiracy theorists breathe you're laughing, otis what do you no? Okay?
I thought you had something to say. Well, Elgin, you
sound like you are busy for the rest of the day,
so we will, Uh, We're gonna let you go have
some fun. How's that sound?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
And that sounds great? Well, I'll see you guys. I'll
see you guys next week.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Have a mimosa for me. We'll do seven. You're listening
to the Bloomdaddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy
w w VA. Welcome back, seven, Sam and Otis News

(27:01):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. First of all, thank you Elgin
for taking the time this morning. Even if she is
spending some quality time out of the area, she still
took the time to spend with us, So thank you
to her. A reminder coming up here shortly, we're gonna
have your first chance to win this morning a pair

(27:23):
tickets to see our very own Wheeling Miners hear home
at West Bank Arena, so stay tuned for that. So
of course I'm gonna ask you Otis. We're gonna get
into this and we might dig pretty deep into this.
But the big announcement yesterday Major League Baseball Pete Rose
and Shoeless Joe Jackson are being removed from the league's

(27:47):
banned list. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred stated the punishment for
banned individuals ends upon their death. The removal from the
list makes them eligible to be elected into the Baseball
Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Thoughts, well, let's let me just say this. I'll start
off by saying that both of these players, in my
personal opinion, deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
Pete Rose was suspended as a manager, not as a player,
So if you were going to put him into the

(28:24):
Hall of Fame, it probably wouldn't be as a manager.
It would be as a player. Terry Francona will probably
go into the Hall of Fame as a manager, not
as a player, so I mean, and Tommy Lasorda when
is as a manager, not as a player.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
So what you're saying is if they if they hold
both positions throughout their career, they should be looked at separately.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Well in a way, yes, you know, Pete Rose did
what you're not supposed to do, which is gamble wan baseball.
As soon as Major League Baseball signed deals with DraftKings
and all these sports betty agencies. I can't remember all
their names, you know, because some of them are smaller

(29:05):
than the other. You know, you have you have the
major ones and then you have your localized ones that
are sponsored by casinos and so on. As soon as
that happened where you could do it on your phone
and it became legal, uh, Pete Rose and Shoots Joe
should have been reinstated immediately. The fact that you had
to wait till they passed away. I mean, Shooters Joe's

(29:26):
been dead for years, right, you know Chramy Sakes he
played in nineteen nineteen.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Pete Rose I just passed within the last year.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, So you know, would Pete have would Pete have
been ecstatic about this?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (29:39):
And I mean you know, it's just like when the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put Jimmy Buffett in
after he died. I mean, you know, why why did
you wait?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
You know, are you doing it, you know for this
reason or you're doing it for that reason? And that's
irritating to me. That's irritating I personally. You know, Pete Rose, all,
I'm leader in Hits, several World Series Championships. You know,
the list goes on and on for everything that Pete

(30:08):
did as a player. Now he may have been the
biggest a hole on the planet, but as a player
that he was the guy that you wanted your son
to emulate because they called him Charlie Hustle for a reason.
So you know, Pete should have been in a long
time ago. You know, you have people that are in
the they got into the Hall of Fame and then

(30:29):
became criminals afterwards, you see what I'm saying. And they're
still in the.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Hall of Fame, right, They're not removed, right, you know.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
You look at O. J. Simpson.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
I mean, I know it's a different sport, but it's
just one of those things that I think, you know,
Major League Baseball needs to reevaluate itself. And the other
thing is why does the Major League Baseball and the
Baseball Hall of Fame are two totally separate entities.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
So the league doesn't have any controlling and in the
Hall of Fame they really don't, Okay.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
But the Hall of Fame follows follows the Major you
know they they so if in other words, like Pete
Rose got the band, so then you're not going to
be eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Does this open the door for some of the steroid
era players? Possibly? You know, you know, it was a
time of baseball.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's not it's not baseball's proudest moment, but these guys
still put up numbers. Were they fake where they enhanced?
We'll say they were enhanced. They weren't necessarily fake. But
you know, you look at it and you say, Barry
Bonds was a hell of a player before he went
to San fran and balked up and did the steroids

(31:46):
or whatever he with the flax seed oil or whatever
he was doing. You know, he was still a heck
of a player before that. I mean, I think he
won two or three m vps before all that hit
the fan.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
It's just you have gay Lord Perry in the Hall
of Fame who was a known cheater as because he
admitted to throwing spitballs all the time. I mean, and
here's a guy that's in the Hall of Fame. You know,
it's are they hypocrites in the way they are?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
You know?

Speaker 3 (32:17):
And I think the sports raiders are just as And
here's the other thing. The sports raders vote the players
in for the Baseball Hall of Fame. And you know,
it's one of those things where if I don't like
a player, then I'm not voting for him. And that's
not right, I don't think, you know what I mean,
Just because maybe I have a personal beef, you should.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Be able to step back and just take look at.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
What they did on the field, right and shootless Joe,
you know, they accused him of throwing the World Series,
but he's batting average was like four hundred. He made
like four or five different plays with stealing bases. I
mean the problem with shootless Joe and playing in that
era in nineteen nineteen, he couldn't read and write. He
wasn't like he wasn't he's a baseball player. He wasn't

(33:03):
the sharpest knife in the jewery, wasn't the brightest ball.
But in the in the bunch, you know, they said, hey,
we're going to do this, and I don't know if
he agreed or disagreed, but if you watch the movie
eight Man Out, I mean it looks like here's a
guy that's not throwing right this. I mean he's going
out and playing one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well that's what it's gonna ask because I've seen the
movie now it's been a very long time, and they
portrayed him as he didn't want anything to do with it.
He was the sympathetic character. Now again that's a film,
so how on brand is and how truthful how much?
But with the stance that you just rattled off to
back the fact that he it was not.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
I mean I look him up during the break.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah, not blatantly obvious that he was trying to throw anything.
I find the timing of this weird because we just
lost Pete Rose in September, so it hasn't been that
long that all of a sudden within months.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Well that Rob Manford was considered it. Now that he's
passed away, it makes the decision a lot easier to say, oh, well,
once they pass away, their lifetime ban's over.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
I mean, that's that's the easy way out.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, and what does that do for the athlete? Oh,
seven fifty eight, we got to jump to a quick break.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy wwvad.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Number one talk show in the Ohio Alley. This is
the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His goal inform,
entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy Experience on
news radio eleven seventy WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Welcome. It's ato six on this Wednesday. You're listening to
the Bloomdaddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
If you're just joining us, usually Wednesday about this time
we get into politics politics on Leads with Elgie mccardo. Well,
we flip flopped the show today. We did that in
the seven o'clock hour due to scheduling conflicts and stuff

(35:09):
like that. So just a heads up that we had
to change things around a wee bit today.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
So just looking back, we were talking about shooterless Joe yep. Okay,
in his career, he has the third highest career batting
average in Major League Baseball history. His his career batting
average is three fifty six. Obviously would be a Hall
of Famer had it not been for the Black Sox scandal.
And here this is, this is the thing that was

(35:36):
shootless Joe. And it's been a debate. I don't think
you can almost like nothing points to him taking place,
taking a part, taking part in this uh in in
the in the in the in the throwing of the
nineteen vers Yeah, so what happened? He claimed his teammates
gave his name to the gamblers. Okay, even though he

(35:58):
never agreed to participate in throwing the World Series. The
other players admitted that he never attended the meetings about
the fix, So you know, okay, they gave his name
to Jackson signed a confess a confession in nineteen twenty,
stating that he was paid five thousand dollars of the
twenty thousand he was owed, okay or promised. He later

(36:20):
asserted that a team lawyer manipulated him into signing a
document and he didn't fully understand. Remember he couldn't read
and write.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Then he'd sign just an X or something maybe.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
He also said he tried to return the money, and
he tried to talk to White Sox owner Charlie Kimiski.
Charlie kmisky was, I mean, a piece of dirt.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
He was the Bob Nutting of the day.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Okay, there we go.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Ok And he tried to talk to Kamiski about the
plan both before and after the series, and Kimiski had
nothing to do with him. He didn't want to listen
to him. So there's the matter of his play on
the field. So during the nineteen nineteen World Series, he
made no errors in the field. Okay, got twelve hits,

(37:05):
which was a World Series record that stood until nineteen
sixty four.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
This sounds like somebody's trying to throw it. Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
His batting average for the series was three seventy five.
It was the highest on either team. And I think,
if I'm not mistaken, he let me see here he hit,
he came.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
To bat with.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
He went twelve for thirty two, scored five runs, had
six RBIs, three doubles, a home run the only home
run of the series. Struck out twice, came to bat
sixteen times with men on base, collecting six hits. So,
I mean, you know, and plating five of the twenty
one runners in front of him, I mean, does not
sound like a guy that.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Through the World Series.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
And also you know, he tried to get reinstated, basically
played outlaw ball under an assumed name before retiring to
his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. He eventually owned a
liquor store and made various efforts to be reinstated, all
of which were denied before his death in nineteen fifty one.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
So what a stand it?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Always that story always to me sounds sounded like, well
like there were people that were more educated than he was. Oh,
absolutely that completely took advantage of him. And I don't
want to, I don't want to paint the picture that
he was this this simpleton that was that, but as

(38:33):
somebody that was naive and did not realize what was
going on around him and how he was being used
by probably people he trusted. Oh yeah, and because he
couldn't read or write, he was he was at a
deficit compared to the rest, and they took advantage of that.

(38:53):
That's how I have always interpreted this story for shoeless Joe.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
And then if you had a Rose, I mean four
two hundred and fifty six hits, that's the record. It'll
never be broken. I mean, one hundred and sixty hom run.
It's not bad for a like a middle guy that
he's a position player, played everywhere, had thirteen hundred RBIs,
almost two hundred stolen basis.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
His career average was three h three.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
I mean all respectable, I mean all Hall of Fame numbers.
Played the outfield, played the infield. I mean the only
thing he didn't do I don't think was pitch and catch.
So you know, he played third, and I don't know
if he played short, but he played. He played definitely played.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Third, first in the outfield, so you know, just you.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Know, very you know, should he have been on baseball
as a manager, No, But I mean his career as
a player deserved to be in the Hall of Fame
when he was alive. And I'm sorry, I disagree with
how baseball handles it.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, and here's a statement from the attorney representing Manfred
that says, only, obviously, a person no longer with us
cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game. Moreover,
is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent,
has a more deterrent effect than one that lasts a
lifetime with no reprieve. Therefore, I have concluded that permanent

(40:14):
ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and
mister Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list.
Threat to the integrity of the game.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Well, that's the gambling.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
That's the gambling. But as you brought up earlier, the
world of gambling has changed.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Well, and here's the other thing banning from baseball. Don't
let him manage again, don't let him coach, don't let
him do whatever. I mean.

Speaker 4 (40:46):
Okay, that doesn't mean that you can't honor.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
You know, his accomplishment.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Well, major League Baseball was a hypocrite too, because at
the turn of the century they had the you know,
the year two thousand I think it was the All
Star Game. They had the greatest players of the twentieth century. Okay,
that we're still you know, they honored them. Okay, so obviously,
Babe Ruth Luke Gerrit. I mean, I forget how many
there were, but.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
They included Pete Rose.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Oh they did.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Yeah, they invited him to you know, they said, okay, hey,
you know, we just feel that this has We're gonna
make an exception for this. You can make an exception
for that, but you can't make an exception to put
him in the Hall.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
I mean it just so if you can acknowledge on
that particular day he at what he brought to the game,
the accomplishments he had on the field for that one
particular day, why can those accomplishments not have been acknowledged
in the Hall of Fame prior to his passing.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
I can't answer that question, you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
I mean, if it was up to me, and you know,
I remember my friends and I having this conversation years ago,
there's no Look, you can ban somebody from baseball, that
doesn't mean that you ban them from you know, I mean,
if you're going to honor the fifty greatest players of
the seventies or the eighties or whatever decade you're gonna choose,

(42:04):
or whatever, half decade, I mean, half century, whatever you're
gonna do, and you're going to include them for that,
you're gonna make a waiver.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
What's the difference.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Well, you can't erase history.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
No, you can't.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
And the other thing is hold on.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
His tone. That thing creeps me out when I hear
it all the time, right, that was.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
My work phone. I forget to turn it off.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
That's sorry.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Anyway, So you know the thing about shooters, I mean
with Pete and Shoeless Joe. You know these guys in
nineteen nineteen, obviously you don't. You don't have what you
have today. You don't have the criminal the investigations and
baseball at the time was so crooked there, I mean,
it was almost it was on the brink of falling

(42:51):
apart because of this scandal. And you know, Okay, the
thing is, you did you investigate? There's too many there
were two many like remember in Chicago in nineteen nineteen,
you know, so.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
There were a lot of outside forces.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Gambling and everything else. It was just it was one
of those things that is, you know, I think going
back and looking into it, if they investigated it properly,
I think I don't think Chilas Joe would have even
been banned.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
What happened to the rest of the players, do you know?

Speaker 4 (43:26):
I believe they are that. I believe a lot of
them got banned.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
They also got banned.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
I'm going to look here real quick.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
I got a list of permanently the Chicago Black Sox,
so I think there was eight, I think verse eight
of them that got banned, hence eight men out the
title of the movie.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yeah, so, I don't know, it's just it's just a
little too late. I don't know. But now will they
be would it be first ballot?

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Oh? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I think people want.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
To make Pete Rose Pete Rose will be in and
imediately should just Joe Bean immediately?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I mean, I think people will want to have their
thoughts known by a vote. Eight sixteen, we got to
go to a quick break. You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience.
Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA say twenty two.

(44:22):
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Otis and Sam
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA on this Wednesday morning. So
sticking along sports, yesterday the NFL announced their slate of
international games. It continues to grow. I don't know. I
don't like the international games. I don't like this depends

(44:45):
on where they are, but then it messes up the
time and I don't want to watch a football game
at seven am.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Well, but like at Mexico, City's really not going to
mess that up to no, but like.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
When it's across the pond, it's just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Yeah, but guess what again, that's the NF because now
guess what they have. Not only do they have the money,
but they've got a game at nine am. Yep, They've
got games at one pm. They've got games at four
pm and they so your entire Sunday you can watch
four football games.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Yeah, so on tap we have let's see, it has
yet to be announced. The Charges will be playing in
South Pallo. The Steelers will take on the Vikings in Dublin. Dublin,
what I said, Yeah, they came out wrong. The Browns
will be in London against the Vikings. Boy, the Vikings

(45:35):
have they might as well just stay there. Probably will
they probably will the Jets take on the Broncos in London,
the Jags take on the Chargers in London, and then
the Colts take on the Falcons, and I can't see
where it is. Oh wait, there's more in Berlin, the
Colts and the Falcons in Berlin, and then the Dolphins

(45:55):
and the Washington in Madrid. So this comes down the money.
That's what this comes down to.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Did you I've seen it on social media where AI
predicts the next fifty Super Bowl winners.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
Yes, I've seen that, and.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
There there's like there's there. They're saying that there's going
to be it's predicting that there's going to be a
team in London, that there's going to be a team
in Montreal. In Canada, it could be Toronto. I can't
remember Toronto, Montreal, They'll probably still There'll probably be one
in Jai. There's gonna be one in Germany, and I
can't remember where the other. But there's like four or
five international teams and in the next fifty years, some

(46:39):
of those teams win Super Bowls.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Brown still won't win one.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yes, I know. Let's see here the chat GPT predicts
the next fifty Super Bowls let's see here, San Francisco,
the Aztecs, I don't know who that is in twenty
seventy five, the Monarchs that's in London, the Stallions, and

(47:04):
I don't know what that says, Austin something.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
But yeah, cause you here's the other thing there there
are there are NFL cities that are probably going to
get franchises before it's all said and done. Sure, Birmingham
I know, is one that's that's really interested in having one.
San Antonio is another one.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Austin, Armadillos.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Well, Austin, Texas because you get the University of Texas
right there. I mean, it's it's such a huge market.
But I mean, how many teams in Texas can you
actually have? I mean they would be their own division. Well,
I find this a little it's probably a little far fetched.
I mean, it's not going to expand that much in fifty.
I mean you've got thirty two teams right now. I

(47:47):
could maybe see eight more.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Teams coming in.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
And that would get you to forty, and then that
would you would have twenty in the AFC, twenty in
the NFC, and then each you'd have four divisions of
five teams each or five divisions of four teams each,
and then what would happen is your European teams would
be obviously there, so you're gonna have you're gonna have
four teams that.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Are in Europe.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
But then doesn't this get into the direction of oversaturation.
So one thing about college football that confuses a lot
of people and they and it does me too to
a certain point, they don't get heavily involved in college
football is because there's so many different divisions, there's so
many different conferences there, it gets over complicated.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Well, and you can and you can blame the NCAAA
and college football for that because here's what's happened. They've
let the Big Ten expand to how many teams, they've
let the SEC expand to how many teams. They've they've
eliminated conferences that are going to be bad. But what's
going to happen is like these teams that are going
to replace Southern cal and UCLA and Oregon in the
in the in the Pac twelve are actually coming like

(48:54):
from the Mountain the west and everywhere else and they're
not going to uh, you know, the mountain west of
you see, because it's not that strong of a compence.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
But then isn't that if the predictions of this, if
something like this does come and happen, isn't that sort
of doing exactly what the NCAA has done wrong.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
To a point? I mean, I think if you limit it,
I mean, they wanted they want The NFL wants a
footprint in Europe.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
They want it. I mean they tried it with the
World League at one time, which was semi successful. It
just really wasn't financially stable at the time. But I
think now the NFL is taking baby steps to get
to get these teams into the European markets. London, I think,
really wants a team, and then after that it becomes

(49:45):
where do we go next? So you know, Frankfurt seems
to have a pretty Frankfurt, Germany seems to have a
pretty good like that would be your probably second destination,
probably a team in Spain. And then probably you know
that why are they playing in Dublin Because they're looking
at Ireland too. So you have Ireland, you would have Dublin,
you would have London, possibly Frankfurt, Berlin someplace like that.

(50:08):
You would have like a Barcelona or somebody in Spain.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
You know, you see Madia.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Then just create a secondary NFL league.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Well, they tried that. You're not gonna be able to
put a whole league over there. It's not gonna be
able to support itself. Because what's gonna happen is you
have your European fans that are Steeler fans, that are
Vikings fans, they're Dolphins fans, and so they're gonna they
want to see those teams come to you know, those stadiums.

(50:36):
I don't, I don't know. It's just like when you
go to Cincinnati. Steeler fans outnumber the Bengal fans pretty
much in Cincinnati every year, not so much, maybe not
in the last couple of years, but like maybe five
years ago, six years ago.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yes, yeah, well because there's always the Bandwagon fans and.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Well but but you know, it's it's not that far
of a drive for Steeler fans. But whether you're in
Central Io or Western PA or West Virginia or whatever,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
It's just what it is.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
The Steelers are probably the number one followed team in
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
It's like black mold, it spreads everywhere. It's a twenty
eight The bloom Daddy experienced Samon Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. Welcome back at eight thirty six the bloom
Daddy experienced Salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA just

(51:30):
got this. This is fun. Otis. You might want to
do this since you already have an IMDb page as
a as an actor.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
An actor, but yeah, I don't have an agent, so
I mean, like, I looked about putting my picture on
and like the cost is just so ridiculous. Oh yeah,
And I was like, yeah, I'm not doing this.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Well, if you are interested. Twentieth century Television which is
doing prison Break. This show prison Bake Break was out
in the earth only two thousands. I don't know if
they're remaking it or it's a extension. Sure, yeah, but
this version, I don't know if it's a remake of

(52:09):
the original or if they're they're extending it into new characters.
I don't know either way. They are now casting for
paid background people, so no experience necessary. All ages are welcome.
It is going to be happening. Let's see here in
filming in June in Moundsville. You can apply online at

(52:32):
prison break casting dot com or scan the QR code.
I'll share this image that I received. They're asking they
need extras to portray prisoners, guards, bodybuilders. There we go.
That's so do townspeople, line dancers, and more. All ages

(52:54):
and types are encouraged, but especially men eighteen and older.
So basically a prisoner. It sounds like, yeah, prisoner or
guard or yeah, I could I could put off probably prisoner.
You could be a guard.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
That could be a guard.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
I could see you being in the whole penny the
whole get up.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
So maybe it just added to my resume.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Get listing number two.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
But then here's the other thing. So then they call
you down there and so you get.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
The part what if I'm what if.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
The shooting's like now, oh you see what I'm saying then,
and I don't know that until the night before.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
We'd have to take a couple of days off.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
Or you'd have to have my backup come in.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Oh yes, yes, but anyways, so yes, there we go.
If you are ever wanted to, I would love to.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
I saw that on I think I saw that on Facebook.
I don't know if it was to say one, but
it was a it was a casting call, and I
guess you get sag rates too.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
It says, yeah, it's it's hundred bucks a day or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Pays to one hundred and ten dollars for a twelve
hour guarantee.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
So see again, twelve hours.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
That's a long two hundred dollars for twelve dollars twelve
hours puts that breakdown.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
That's not bad. I guess.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
It would be an experience, it would.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
I mean that's probably about sixteen bucks an hour.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Yeah, it's not bad.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
If you're just sitting around doing nothing, who cares well,
and then.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
You've got the what are they called craft service table.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
You probably get free lunch, breakfast, dinner. Yeah. I could
live with that.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Yeah, So I'll post this on our Facebook page so
you can take a look at it. See him trying
to see who's in it.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
It doesn't really take my portfolio with me.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Your head shots, you're you're real?

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Yeah, yeah, they would say, yeah, you're selfie doesn't count
as a head shot.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Why not? Why not?

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Speaking of jobs, we are in a graduation season high
school and of course college. So the five worst paying
college may has been released. This is a new report
from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that
graduates who major in education, social work, or the arts

(55:12):
usually earn the lowest income in five years, the first
five years after finishing school. The report included only full
time workers with a bachelor's degree and excludes those still
in rolled some of the degrees that are out there now.
And I had a cousin who went for a particular degree,

(55:35):
and I remember asking her, what are you going to
do with that? And and honestly, off the top of
my I cannot remember exactly what the degoybody arts degree.
It was along those lines, but then it had it
had a specialty in language arts. And I'm like, okay,

(55:57):
so are you going to be an intern?

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Because language arts?

Speaker 3 (56:02):
I mean, it's just like that, do you have the
I mean, that could possibly lead to a teaching degree?

Speaker 4 (56:07):
But then did you well?

Speaker 2 (56:08):
And I brought that up too, and it doesn't do
anything with it. But yeah, there's so many degrees out
there that.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Are worthless for the most part. Yeah, I mean just
to say that you have a college education, and.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Sometimes that's really all you. You know, you need to
get your foot in the door. But yeah, there's somebody
out there. But education social work does not surprise me.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
It's a very unrewarding job to Yes.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yes, I actually saw somebody a couple of weeks ago
speak about social work and what those people see firsthand
is pretty it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
You we hear this, We hear the stories about you know,
kids in a household or things like that. These people
see it, they have to report on it, they have
to investigate it, they have to document it, and especially
with the child side of things, because there's social work
that goes into you know, older adults. There's there's many

(57:17):
different departments of social work. But when I hear it,
I think of kids and and protecting of young adults
and kids, and I think, I think social workers are
an undervalued career here in in our country.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
It's very taxing too, because if you like, if you're
going into homes where kids are abused or malnourished or whatever,
however you want to look at it, and you know,
you see, you see the dark side of it, and
you see that every day or you know, three days
out of five or whatever it would be. I mean

(57:58):
that takes a toll on you, not just physically, but
probably I mean it's mentally as well.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Yeah, to close your eyes at night and see those
memories or see those visions that you saw throughout the
day has got to be. But I've always thought that
it's a very under appreciated, appreciated job and the people
that do it it's cutest to you. I mean, I

(58:24):
couldn't imagine. I could not imagine what they see and
what they had in the stories they hear. You know,
I had a relative who was a counselor in a
school district for junior high end high school age students,
and this relative of mine, you know, of course, could

(58:44):
not give exact details, but would in a roundabout way
tell stories of the stories that they were told by
young people, and you could see the toll it took
on this person just hearing these stories. And of course

(59:06):
they're a reporting official and has to then pass it
along to the next steps the right officials to you know,
get these children, help, protection, whatever they need at that
point in time. But you could see as the story
was told, like I said, the toll it took on

(59:28):
that person. So it takes a particular particular mindset and
a particular person to be able to handle that stuff, because,
like I said, you know, we hear the story secondhand,
we hear them as they're reported in the news. We're
not the ones walking in and experiencing them firsthand and
seeing them firsthand. So I can't even imagine. I cannot

(59:51):
even imagine what they deal with, what they deal with.
So let's lighten it up a little bit. Well, let's
let's turn it a little bit. That kind of went
down a path I wasn't expecting when it comes to
the I just wanted to talk about jobs and graduations.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
You know what we forget to do in the first hour?

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
What did we? Oh? Oh we did, So why don't
we just go ahead and do one now? Okay, so
we have your chance to win Wheeling Miners tickets for
next Saturday night, the twenty fourth, Is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
That right, Yes, the twenty fourth.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Okay, who are they playing?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
They are taking on the Columbus Lions.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Okay, So there you have it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
We've got a family four pack for the Wheeland Miners
versus the Columbus Lions next Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
I was looking for a time. They're always evening games.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
Yeah, I think you should be like seven or seven
thirty probably.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):

sixty two four eleven seventy to see the wheeling miners

this on OTIS. I'm ready for it. It's National Dance

(01:01:45):
like a Chicken Day.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
I saw that I want to see no no.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
No no no no no no no no.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
We had a comedy bit to go with that, but
it played that song. So guess what we did. We
scrapped it because we're not allowed to play those.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Songs, but we can sing it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
I don't know if we're noting, but we just we did.
What we just did was okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Yeah. So maybe maybe we'll do a video after the
show to celebrate you and it we'll do the dance.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
I don't think we will.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
I can't. All right, fine, it's also a national but
milk buttermilk Biscuit Day. Make me hungry, Make me hungry.
There's nothing like a good biscuit. Speaking of food, Burger
King is in the news because they're being sued why

(01:02:31):
false advertising regarding the size of their whopper. Nineteen customers
from thirteen different states are suing the fast food giant,
claiming that the whopper and other menu items advertised with
thirty five percent more meat than what is actually in

(01:02:53):
the sandwiches. While Burger King filed a motion to dismiss,
a Florida judge denied the motion on May fifth. The
chain insists that the flame grilled patties portrayed in are
advertising are the same patties used in the millions of
burgers we served to our guests across the US. But
if you're saying it weighs or is this certain amount

(01:03:16):
of beef and it's not would that not be false advertising?
I don't know, it's just funny to say that people
are suing because the whopper is not the right size.
There's just something be funny behind that. I don't know.
Maybe it's just me in my filthy humor. Speaking of

(01:03:38):
filthy humor, Simon Cal remember that name? You remember that otis?
You remember that name, Simon? Oh, that's right, he does.
America's got talent? Is that what he's on? Says a
couple once offered him one hundred and fifty thousand dollars

(01:04:01):
to judge them while they were having sex.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
But you could have change it doing the nasty Oh okay,
you kind of want to the mattress mombo, Yeah, you
kind of want to. They maybe code it in case
somebody's riding to school with his parents or something.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Okay, And we don't, we don't.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
We don't get blamed for saying. We don't get blamed
for the question. What is is? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Okay, my apologies out there. The American Idol judge talked
about the unorthodox offer and how on the How to
Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast that he was on, Cal
said he was approached by the couple in a restaurant
for a picture before making the proposition. He admits he
briefly considered it, but ultimately had to turn them down.

(01:04:50):
I don't think one hundred and fifty k is hard
for somebody on the level, you know, it's it's hard
for him to walk away. I'm sure he's got he's
got plenty of money.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
Yeah he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
How do you judge that?

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
And hmm, this could go in so many directions.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
I'm and I'm just going to leave it at dead. No, No,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Going there, no criteria.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
I'm not going there because I know if I say
something it'll be funny. Oh yes, but it may be inappropriate. Yes,
And I'd still like to be here tomorrow, so or
at least i'd like to at least finish out the week.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Would you do that for somebody?

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
What judge him?

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Yeah? I guess depends on what have to look for?

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
One hundred and fifty thousand bucks? Well, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Yes, that's more appealing to you and I.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Than that funny you figure what more than likely four
or five minutes out of my day.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Just pop a quarter in the meter and you're good
to go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah, you know, so for yeah, I mean you figure
I mean, what's the worst case scenario it's an hour? Yeah, okay,
so one hundred and fifty thousand dollars an hour? No, yeah,
I mean, well you factor in, like, yes, all the
other things that go with it, so the preheat if
you will, yeah, yeah, I mean would I do it

(01:06:23):
for one hundred and fifty grand?

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Yeah, I do it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
I don't know if I could. I don't know. I
don't know if I could. I don't know if I
would want to.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Well, you have all those websites on your phone. You're
paying for it, now, why not get paid to watch it?

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
That's me. Yeah, yeah, I am not blushing, by the way,
because that is not true.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Your face is as red as that wall.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
No it's not. Yes, yes, I know better than to
do have.
