Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy. Good Monday morning to you. Thanks so
much for joining me here on the bloom Daddy Experience.
As always, I hope he had a great weekend. Big
national story, Former President Joe Biden has an aggressive form
of prostate cancer. Hope he recovers, Hope he gets the
treatment he needs. I'm going to say all the things
that everybody should say whenever somebody's diagnosed with something like this,

(00:44):
but I can't help but go back to this. Every
time I hear Joe Biden's name, it reminds me of
how pathetic our national media is. It reminds me of
one of the biggest cover ups in American political history,
and that was Joe Biden's mental decline. And while he
was President of the United States, it was hidden by
the national media, the same national media that helped get

(01:06):
him elected, the same national media that hates Trump so
bad they'd rather have a president in the White House
who doesn't know who the hell he is than have
President Trump currently there. I'm telling you right now. It
was one of the biggest cover ups in American political history.
The mainstream media, the legacy media, knew that Joe Biden,

(01:28):
while he was President of the United States, had no
clue who the hell he was. And I think this
mental decline started probably a year after he took office,
and it was blatant, I believe to everybody around him,
but they hid it because it was power. If you
were associated with Joe Biden, if you were part of
that regime, you didn't want to let go your piece
of the pie. It's that simple people will do unscrupulous

(01:52):
things for money and power and fame, and when you're
part of the administration, you're getting all. You're getting money,
you're getting power, you're getting fame. So they hit it.
But the national media, most of the national media knew
how bad this guy was, and they tried to cover

(02:13):
it up. And just think what they did. If it
wasn't for that debate exposing it. When Biden debated Trump,
they were going to try to slide him into that
White House for another term, knowing, knowing that this guy
mentally was totally bankrupt. And it wasn't until that debate
and they figured out he couldn't win. Then all of
a sudden, they changed their tune. They turned on him,

(02:35):
They threw him under the bus, and they put their
hand pick candidate in Kamala Harris, which I just saw
on a poll the other day where a number of
Democrats want her to run again in twenty twenty eight. Now,
mind you, this woman is incredibly unpopular. She lost all
seven swing states, Yet you still have Democrats out there

(02:55):
who feel Kamala Harris gives them the best chance at
regaining the White House. You want to talk about a
ruddless ship. You want to talk about people who have
no clue what the hell they're doing. But I guess
when you take a look at the bench and all
you see is Bernie Sanders and Alexandria or Crazio Cortes,
you're going to go back to the crazy, you know.

(03:17):
But I digress, and I apologize for that. Back to
Joe Biden. Aggressive form of prostate cancer. If you think
like I do, especially a guy in an advanced age,
like Joe Biden while he was still president. Don't they
check for that stuff all the time? I mean, wouldn't

(03:37):
you think he'd have access to the best doctors in
the world, round the clock kind of checking and feeling
and rubber glove going on and finger going you know,
you know what I mean. I mean, wouldn't you think
they would have caught this months ago, year ago, two

(03:59):
years ago. I'm not an expert on prostate cancer. I'm
just saying it's just kind of funny that all of
a sudden boom, he's got this aggressive form of prostate
cancer and it's in the bone. That just doesn't happen overnight,
at least I wouldn't think it does. I'm not a
medical expert. I did stay at a holiday in Express
about a week ago. That does not make me an

(04:20):
expert on this. I'm just saying. I guess what I
am saying is it just seems like when it comes
to this guy, I think they cover up a lot
of things, not only the mental part. There had to
be some other issues going on, like maybe this while
he was president, and I just feel they hit everything

(04:42):
and I think when we end up finding out everything
and we will. It'll take time. Maybe after he passes,
whatever that may be, we'll find out the truth. Who
knew what when they knew it. And I think if
we ever do get the truth that you will be
shocked what you find out. It's kind of the same

(05:02):
thing with COVID when Fauci had to go in front
of that House committee on the coronavirus. You all of
a sudden get the truth, don't you. Yeah, the six
feet of distancing that we just kind of made that up. Yeah,
we didn't know. We knew the masks didn't work, but
we told people to wear them anyway. Yeah, you know,
the plastic, the partitions in the bars and the restaurants.

(05:24):
We just thought we had to do something. Yeah, maybe
we shouldn't have forced the vaccine on people. It takes time,
but sooner or later we end up finding out the truth.
Other than that UFO crash in Roswell in nineteen forty seven,
other than that one, but we always end up finding

(05:44):
the truth. Sam, your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
On this, Okay, I'm going to do the politically correct
in saying, yes, the diagnosis for prostate cancer it is.
It's terrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. Nobody wants to see
anybody diagnosed with cancer. What scares me the most is

(06:08):
my first thought was exactly what bloom Daddy said, which
terrifies me to the bone that our brains aligned on
This was exactly that President Biden had the best medical
minds while he was president. I am not an expert

(06:29):
on prostate cancer, but you would think it didn't just
happen in the past four months. I don't know how
quickly something like that rears its ugly head, but it's
got to be. You would think there would have been
signs prior.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Well, you figure that the president goes through an annual physical,
right and I'm sure it is head to toe, inside out,
blah blah blah. If nothing showed it his last physical,
which could have been you know, over a year ago,
then you know, okay, But you would figure that he

(07:11):
probably would have labs like three, you know, especially at
his age, they'd probably get labs at least three, you know,
three or four times a year.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Or was there inner circle keeping him away from physicians?
Possibly in my second thought, within whatever with the prostate diagnosis,
the timing of the announcement works very conveniently. When it

(07:40):
was two and a half days roughly after the release
of the audio recordings of her report. It's amazing how
sometimes just convenience works out for folks. You announced the

(08:00):
former president has an aggressive form of prostate cancer. That
then becomes the top headline, and the headline that was
based that completely took over the airways over the weekend.
Prior to that was the audio recordings of the her
report where he is heard stumbling and bumbling trying to

(08:22):
answer the questions. Now, we had the the paper documentation
of the report while he was still in office, but
when you hear it firsthand, it's completely different, completely different.
But the timing is what I find so convenient for
those all involved because it was to the point, which

(08:44):
was to the point where you know Comer is talking
about on Friday, the committee reviewing the quote unquote cover up.
There are those that are not going to let this die,
and they rightfully should not, absolutely should not, because when
you think back to the to the end of his presidency,

(09:08):
it was a whirlwind of signing this executive order. In
that executive order on top of the presidential pardons, we
can't forget about that. So the timing of this entire
medical diagnosis once again. Horrible. Don't want to see anybody
diagnosed with cancer. But the convenience factor we can't forget about.

(09:35):
Can't forget about that side of either. We're not done.
It's only Monday, everybody. It is Monday. But we're heading
into a holiday weekend that's coming, so keep your fingers crossed.
We are going to get there, but we're going to,
of course continue on this Monday morning. You're listening to
the bloom Daddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. We are back seventy one, but blom Daddy

(10:04):
Experienced salmon Otis News Radio. You love in seventy w
w VA. It's a Monday, of course. But do you
have a good weekend? Honest?

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yes, nothing to write home about.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
No.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Nook took Pongo on his first road trip.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Oh how do you do?

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Not bad?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Not bad, not bad?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
You know, went down to see my dad.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh okay, and.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Took him down to Morgantown. Took both dogs to Morgantown.
They didn't they didn't the resident dog not my dad's dog.
But they were dogs sitting. Oh he's a golden doodle.
He didn't like other people in his area.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
His territory was invaded.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, yeah, but he wouldn't stood a chance against these two.
He'd have been gone, oh that's nine. And I say
that in a fun way. Yes, they I mean they'd
just pretty many places.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Well two on one, you're not gonna well but.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
He but he's just like I said, he's a little
golden doodle about thirty pounds.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh oh yeah, your boys are a little a little
bit bigger than that.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Rory would have just laid there and snapped out. Pungo
would have just tried to probably jump on him and
play with.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Him the grumpy old man syndrome.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Oh yeah, like Rory's like, get off my guard, I walk.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
On the grass.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
So we did. We did a little road trip, and
other than that, everything seemed to go good. I had
some I took some Jacob and Son Burgers down with
me and some Jacob and Son's Kebasi. So we had
that for dinner on Saturday night. Nice and thanks to
those guys over there, because it was delicious. Bet I
bet did the Cajun blue burgers and did the Valipino

(11:51):
cheese burgers I think, and then bacon and jalopino burgers.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like I'm hungry. I can't talk about food. I shouldn't
be hungry.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Gosh, I always got a little spicy, but we always
gives a little spicy, little kick. Yeah, I always good
to I always went to Jlipino or Hot Pepper.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
See, I can't do that stuff.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
It's not very strong. It just gives it that little bite.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I can't. I can't even barely do pizza sauce.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
So you're so weird when it comes no.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
No, no, no, I can't. It doesn't agree. It's not
good for me.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
But I'm just saying, you're so weird when it comes
to your food.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Oh, I know, I know, I'll trust me. I know. No.
This weekend had an early sort of holiday weekend. I
guess you could say did a road trip. I posted
some pictures on our Facebook page to Selena, Ohio. And
I'll tell you what, what a cute little place that
I got to go to. It's called Boardwalk Village and

(12:47):
it's on this huge lake. Huge Now on Saturday, it
was a windstorm up there, and to the point where
my face is is actually wind burned if you can
call it that, or chapped. But what a beautiful little village,
a beautiful little area, a great It was about a

(13:09):
three and a half hour drive, maybe four hour drive.
I will say this that I have learned I am
a pushover when it comes to my niece. She was
there along with some additional family members. But uh, yeah,
I have What did you say? There's a magic word

(13:30):
that I need to learn? Is that what you said? Yeah,
it's called no. Not good at that.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
I have spoiled this little one to the point where
she saw something at a gift shop. She brought out,
this isn't this you like? This? Isn't this nice? You
like this? I said, oh, yeah, it's really nice? And
she does, you know, I really think you should buy
it for me?

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Sucker with that the old Looney Tunes cartoon where they
like it goes from your face to just wrapped lollipop. Yes, sucker, yes, just.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
This absolutely innocent, you know, big eyed. You know, I
really think you should buy it for me. She said.
It was such adult like authority, and I'm like, oh, okay,
like no problem was Yeah, yeah I am. I am
definitely definitely a pushover. Definitely a pushover. But if you

(14:27):
are looking for somewhere to get away to that's that's
not a far drive. That's relaxing but fun at the
same time. I mean, this complex had a basketball court,
a pick a ball court, an arcade, an ice cream
little ice cream village they called it, which, by the way,
I overindulged this weekend. Also ice cream village. There was

(14:51):
a water show. I mean, there's tons of stuff to do,
tons of stuff to do. So if you are looking
for a quick, easy to drive to we can get away,
I definitely recommend it. I'll post I'll share their website
on our Facebook page so you can get directly to it.
Because it is a really cute, nice little place to

(15:12):
get away too. So so let's see here. Speaking of kids,
this is a kind of a hard right turn, but
there is a toddler bit of a good news. Who
is recovering after a fall from a high rise apartment
in Maryland. The police say a two year old fell

(15:35):
fifteen stories from the balcony at Balcony in Silver Springs,
and this happened on Thursday afternoon. The child landed in
a landscaped area with maulch in bushes which broke the fall,
escaping with a broken arm in minor injuries. Authorities are
now investigating how the fall happened. But think about that,
a two year old that fell fifteen stories, but now

(15:59):
is so good news with that story. That's just scary,
That is scary, that's terrible, terrible. So along with that,
talking about traveling this weekend, of course, we're coming upon
Memorial weekend. Nice long weekend for everybody out there, hopefully,

(16:22):
hopefully a number of travelers this weekend is expected to
be record breaking. It seems like every holiday it's another
announcement of record breaking numbers. TRIPAA is forecasting forty five
million Americans will hit the road between May twenty second
and the twenty six for the holiday weekend. That would
break the previous record set in two thousand and five.

(16:45):
More than thirty nine million people are expected to travel
by car, while over three and a half million travelers
are expected to go by plane. So if you are
planning on doing some traveling this weekend for the holiday,
kind of pre planned for it. If you're hitting the
road or if you're flying, be prepared or come up

(17:05):
with some tricks to avoid some of the craziness. But
of course, be safe and be prepared, get out there early,
leave it like one in the morning when nobody else
is driving. I don't know. Seven twenty eight, you're listening
to the bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Welcome back to the Bloomdaddy Experience on your Monday morning.
So I'm going to lighten some things up with this segment.
I continue to get into an argument with my middle son.
What are we arguing over? It's stupid, I know, but
this argument has really caught fire on the internet, and
it's the whole one hundred men against the silver back gorilla.

(17:50):
My son, God love him, thinks that one hundred men
could beat a silverback gorilla. I, on the other hand,
not a shot in hell. And he makes the argument.
He goes, Dad, you gotta look at it this way.
One hundred guys like brock Lesner, John Jones, Delta Force guys,

(18:12):
Navy seals the world is going to end. This is
the mentality, Dad, you got to think about the world
is going to end unless you beat that gorilla. He goes,
they would do it. And I said, buddy, let me
read a couple stats to you. Number one, the bite
force of a silverback gorilla is thirteen hundred PSI to

(18:35):
put that in perspective for you out there listening, that
is stronger than a lion. Did you know that? I
don't think anybody's stepping forward to get bit by a lion.
This damn silverback gorilla bites harder than a lion. All right.
How about the fact that a silverback gorilla could literally

(18:56):
rip a human being in half, or they can lift
a reform with one hand, or they could punch ten
times harder than the strongest boxer, or how about this one,
they could bench press four thousand pounds. Still's not deterring him. Dad,
I'm telling you, if the world is on the line,

(19:18):
if civilization is on the line, one hundred brock lesseners
are beating a silverback gorilla, to which I look at
him and I say, cad, the first five in are
going to get literally their faces eaten or ripped off.
They're going to be killed instantly in a horrific sort

(19:40):
of way. What do you think the other ninety five
brock lesseners are going to do when they see a
silver backed gorilla bite somebody's face off, pull somebody's head off,
and then I don't know, put their fists through the
rib cage of somebody else. They're gonna run. No, no, no, Dad,
not if the world as a I'm telling you they're

(20:04):
gonna run. I'd rather face fire and brimstone. I'd rather
face a nuke. Matter of fact, I'd rather face one
hundred nukes than walk in and fight a silverback gorilla.
But he's still not taking the bait on this. He's
still not agreeing with me. So, sam and otis, what
are you going with? You're going with a silverback gorilla

(20:25):
who can bench press four thousand pounds and bite harder
than a lion, or are you going with one hundred
dudes with the world hanging in the balance.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
If I'm having this conversation continuously with my kid, I'm
gonna hang myself. I mean, I'm gonna go with what
one of the experts said.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Okay, there's an expert in this conversation.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Oh yeah, we had a couple of stories on it.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Oh, like a zoologist or.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, there was one that said one thing, one said
the other. But this is the one. I'm going to
go with. The silverback gorilla is smart enough to look
around and it'll say, Okay, Well, if a couple of
men came at him, he would probably defend himself and
then he would just get out because he would realize
that he would be outnumbered. Mmm.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
So they're intelligent enough to take a step back and
say I'm not going to engage. Yeah, maybe should There
are actually some humans that should look at that process.
And you know, okay, so take this. If we're talking gorillas,
what about instead of versus humans versus a bear? For example?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Again, where did this?

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Where did it?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Was one of those internet things that somebody probably came
up with at some point in time. No, yeah, just
some stupid like it was probably started off as a
meme or it probably started off as like a question
and then it just exploded.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh the time on people's hands that they had.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
But if I'm going to say this, if you if
you had one hundred people, yes, uh, the gorilla is
going to maim and probably kill a handful. But eventually
what would happen is you could overtake the gorilla with
But again, what are you going to do?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
You know where this started from? This conversation, this comparison,
here's what I imagine. Okay, there's a bunch of dudes, No, boy,
at their frat house, they're waiting for graduation, they're having
a good time, they're drinking, and they're winding down the night,
and they get into a conversation where at the age

(22:47):
of twenty two, twenty one, twenty three, somewhere within that
time span realm they have decided that they are to
the point that they can serve they can solve the
world's problems. You know, when you're when you're drinking with
your friends and you're having a good time and you're relaxed,
and you you you get to that point where you're

(23:08):
either so silly you can't stop laughing, you're gonna go
to bed, or if you're in the right environment, you're
gonna have this very deep conversation about the world's problems
and you're going to solve all of them. But then
somehow it rears into some ridiculous conversation about who would
win in a fight, one silver back gorilla or one

(23:29):
hundred human men. That's where I think this probably eventually started,
and somebody put out a post, a meme or TikTok
video and now we're all talking about it. We've all
had those conversations where random things come up oh yeah,
and then it just turns into.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
It's it's just like an episode of Cheers. Are sitting
around at a bar, yes, and they're like, you know,
you having a couple of beers or a couple of drinks,
and then the next thing, you know what, this stupid
thing pops into your head and you know, like, I
mean like there's no way that the road Runner could
outsmart the coyote or something. It just it's there's so
many stupid things.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yes, exactly, it's so.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Many bolter in the floorboard at the Boston Gardens parquet floor.
I mean, yes, it's it's.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Like the Cliff Claven of the Frat House made this
statement as fact. You know, a silver back could.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
It's a little known fact, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Could defeat one hundred men. That's where this stuff comes from.
You know, that's my that's that is my not prediction.
That is my guess. Your assessment, yes, of how this
all this all came to be.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, well, hopefully we're done with it because I think
it's so stupid. Like, first off, you're never going to
settle the argument no, so you're never going to prove
no again. It's the chicken in the egg you're never
gonna be able.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
To Oh God, I can't go back to the chicken.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
I know, but I'm just saying it. But you can
have X amount of answers that potentially could be right,
but you're never gonna you never really.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Know exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I did want to point out speaking about this weekend.
So we were talking about now I'm going to go
back to it, but learning something that you don't care
to do. It was funny. Yesterday I came home and
my husband didn't go with me this weekend, and he
had to go to the grocery.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Store, probably thinking he's getting murdered.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
No, he needed a break from you.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I can understand that too, God bless him.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
But yes, yesterday he's telling me, he's like, oh, I
went to the grocery store. He said, yeah, is that
that's that? That's not fun? He said another word. I said, yeah, No,
it's like you do this every week. Yes, I do.
It's like a light bulb goes off of just shock

(26:08):
and amazement. Yeah, it's not fun. That kind of stuff
isn't fun, you know. It's like, oh, well, not necessarily,
just one of those those you must do things like
stopping to get gas like pet peeve stuff like. For me,
stopping to get gas is one of the most irritating things.

(26:31):
It drives me nuts. It just annoys me. I don't
know why. What's a take five minutes, but it just
annoys me. Like I will take my car down to
where it says I have I don't know, twenty two
miles left before I'll go to the gas station. Yeah,
I'm that person. I am that person. Seven forty five. Oh,

(26:53):
coming up, we're gonna have your chance to win. We
haven't told you about this yet. We're gonna have your
chance to win this morning. A four pack to see
the Wheeling Miners they will be taking on the Columbus
Lions will be happening May twenty fourth at West Banko Arena.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
So we're gonna have Saturday.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yes, that's this Saturday, So kick off your holiday weekend
with an indoor football game, all courteous courtesy of us.
So that'll be coming up here a little bit later.
In the short show seven forty six, you're listening to
the Bloomdaddy Experience OTIS and ZAM News Radio eleven seventy
WWVA seven fifty one on this Monday morning, Welcome back

(27:35):
the Bloomdaddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Just a reminder, we're gonna have your chance to win
a little bit later in the show. Four pack to
see the wheeling miners this Saturday down at West Banco Arena.
One thing I wanted to hit on this morning and
I want to give a shout out, if you will,
hero for the day to a young lady named Reese Hogan.

(28:02):
And of course this touches a little bit on the
local track and field star we have here when it
comes to men in sports the protection of female sports.
So over the weekend there was a young lady, as
I mentioned, her name is Reese Hogan. So this young

(28:25):
lady who set personal records along with a school record
for the triple jump, came in second. Came in second
to a male named A. B. Hernandez, who is now
thanks to this meet, ranked number one in the state

(28:47):
of Guessware, California. So Reese did the professional thing when
taking the podium stood in second place. For the results
of the triple triple jump, the pictures were taken, the

(29:08):
applause were done, or lack thereof applause, because again this
is a Mail who beat her even though she set
her own personal record and school record for the triple jump.
Here's where I'm going to give her applause. After the
pomp and circumstance of the traditional pictures and the photos,

(29:29):
you know, all of that, when the Mail stepped down
from the first place spot on the podium, she stood
right in first place and rightfully so took the appropriate
position on the podium where she should have been. And

(29:54):
I wanted to highlight this because number one, it's one
of the issues that I am incredibly passionate about personally.
Number Two, this has not been done yet. And to Reese,
I got to give you a high five, an applause,
standing ovation for making this statement because it as the

(30:18):
momentum continues, are it acts like this that need to
continue to increase because the way they the way the
young ladies have been standing up for themselves by not
competing to make a statement hurts them. Also that is

(30:42):
also not fair. This is a way, an alternative way
to make the statement and get the message across. So again,
congrats to Reese Hogan, in my eyes, the real champ,
and and congrats on making a statement that the adults

(31:04):
in the room in these situations refuse to make as
they cow tell to the woke movement, the woke culture,
whatever ridiculous title you want to give it. So Reese,
thank you for that. Iis want to stay along the
sports conversation. Did you see the stats that have come

(31:26):
out about the Pirates and how they are wasting pitcher schemes.
Have you seen these stats?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Well, I don't know if they're wasting him, they're just
not he can't get any reun support.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Right well, wasting him in the if he was with
another team, the efforts that he's putting through, the pitching
accomplishments that he's having, are being wasted because they're not winning.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Well, I mean you could look, there's a thousand ways
you could look at that. I mean, he could he
could be pitching for another team and the other team
could go I mean, he could have an outstanding performance,
the other team could get no hit and see he
could still lose one nothing. You see what I'm saying.
So you can't really compare that because it's it's it's
not a fair comparison. Here's the other thing. Steve Carlton,

(32:14):
who's a Hall of Famer. Okay, one year with the Phillies,
I can't remember he won like twenty eight games or
something like that. The Phillies only won like sixty games overall,
so I mean he was dominant and or you know,
his record didn't show what his what his efforts were.

(32:36):
Steve Carlton was in the same jam fifty forty years ago,
fifty years ago, so you know, I mean, you could
look at it one way. The reason it's it's over
hyped right now is because of twenty four to seven Sports,
twenty four to seven media, twenty four seven social media.
That crap never happened when it happened to Steve Carleton.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
But don't you think, I mean, this is this six
time the Pirates have lost when he has only allowed
one run or fewer.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Happened to Nolan Ryan all the time. Happened to Steve Carlton.
I mean, it happened to Hall of Fame pitchers all
the time.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
It's six times in the last thirty three starts.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
There's the team's bad. But but it's not because he's
still pitching great.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
But we all know how the Pirates run the organization.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Just because he doesn't get a win doesn't mean that
he can't put up great numbers like he lost the
other day. Pitched eight innings, had ten striking, one hundred,
ten strikeouts, I mean everything was. His numbers are good.
He gave up one run.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
No, But my point is his talents are being wasted
with this franchise.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
I mean, but that's because he's wait, that's all the
Barry Sanders. His talents were being wasted. Yeah, I mean
until until the Bears won the Super Bowl in eighty six.
Walter Payton's talents being wasted. I mean, it's not really
being wasted. It's just he's on a crappy team.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
But I think, I think where it's a little bit
different is the ownership of those franchises cared about winning.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Maybe maybe not.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
This ownership could give a rat you know what, but.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
They want to win. They just don't want to spend money. Well,
they don't want to spend the money to win. They
want to win with what they have and you can't.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
So they don't really care about winning, you know, I
don't know, I don't know. It's a shame to see
talent like that wasted, But it's a good point, you know, wasted,
it's just okay, seven to fifty eight. Well, we'll agree
to disagree on that seven to fifty eight. Listening to
the bloom Daddy Experience on this Monday morning, samon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Indeed number one tuck show in the Ohio. Valey, 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 SEVENTYWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
News Radio eleven seventy. It's the Blue Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eighth six, let's get.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
This hour rolling.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Good Monday morning to you. Thanks so much for joining
me here on the Blue Daddy Experience.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
As always, I hope you had a great weekend.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Big national story, Former President Joe Biden has an aggressive
form of prostate cancer. Hope he recovers, Hope he gets
the treatment he needs. I'm going to say all the
things that everybody should say whenever somebody's diagnosed with something
like this, but I can't help but go back to this.
Every time I hear Joe Biden's name, it reminds me

(35:38):
of how pathetic our national media is. It reminds me
of one of the biggest cover ups in American political history,
and that was Joe Biden's mental decline while he was
President of the United States. It was hidden by the
national media, the same national media that helped get him elected,
the same national media that hates Trump so bad. They'd
rather have a president in the White House who doesn't

(36:00):
know who the hell he is then have President Trump
currently there. I'm telling you right now, it was one
of the biggest cover ups in American political history. The
mainstream media, the legacy media, knew that Joe Biden while
he was President of the United States, had no clue
who the hell he was. And I think this mental

(36:21):
decline started probably a year after he took office, and
it was blatant, I believe to everybody around him, but
they hit it because it was power. If you were
associated with Joe Biden, if you were part of that regime,
you didn't want to let go your piece of the pie.
It's that simple people will do unscrupulous things for money
and power and fame, and when you're part of the administration,

(36:46):
you're getting all of it. You're getting money, you're getting power,
you're getting fame, so they hit it. But the national media,
most of the national media knew how bad this guy was,
and they tried to cover it up. And just think
what they did. If it wasn't for that debate exposing it.
When Biden debated Trump, they were going to try to

(37:07):
slide him into that White House for another term, knowing,
knowing that this guy mentally was totally bankrupt. And it
wasn't until that debate and they figured out he couldn't
win that all of a sudden, they changed their tune.
They turned on him, They threw him under the bus,
and they put their hand pick candidate in Kamala Harris,

(37:27):
which I just saw on a poll the other day
where a number of Democrats want her to run again
in twenty twenty eight. Now, mind you, this woman is
incredibly unpopular. She lost all seven swing states. Yet you
still have Democrats out there who feel Kamala Harris gives
them the best chance at regaining the White House. You

(37:48):
want to talk about a ruddless ship. You want to
talk about people who have no clue what the hell
they're doing. But I guess when you take a look
at the bench and all you see is Bernie Sanders
and Alexandria. Okrazio cour Tz, you're gonna go back to
the crazy, you know, But I digress and I apologize
for that. Back to Joe Biden aggressive form of prostate cancer.

(38:12):
If you think like I do, especially a guy in
an advanced age like Joe Biden while he was still president,
don't they check for that stuff all the time? I mean,
wouldn't you think he'd have access to the best doctors
in the world, round the clock kind of checking and

(38:34):
feeling and rubber glove going on and finger going you know,
you know what I mean. I mean, wouldn't you think
they would have caught this months ago, year ago, two
years ago. I'm not an expert on prostate cancer. I'm
just saying it's just kind of funny that all of
a sudden boom, he's got this aggressive form of prostate

(38:57):
cancer and it's in the bone. That just doesn't happen overnight,
at least I wouldn't think it does. I'm not a
medical expert. I did stay at a holiday in Express
about a week ago. That does not make me an
expert on this. I'm just saying. I guess what I
am saying is it just seems like when it comes
to this guy, I think they cover up a lot

(39:19):
of things, not only the mental part. There had to
be some other issues going on, like maybe this while
he was president, and I just feel they hit everything.
And I think when we end up finding out everything,
and we will, it'll take time, maybe after he passes,
whatever that may be, we'll find out the truth. Who

(39:39):
knew what when they knew it. And I think if
we ever do get the truth, that you will be
shocked at what you find out. It's kind of the
same thing with COVID when Fauci had to go in
front of that House committee on the coronavirus. You all
of a sudden get the truth, don't you. Yeah, the
six feet of distancing that we just kind of made

(40:00):
that up. Yeah we didn't know. We knew the masks
didn't work, but we told people to wear them anyway. Yeah,
you know, the plastic, the partitions in the bars and
the restaurants. We just thought we had to do something. Yeah,
maybe we shouldn't have forced the vaccine on people. It
takes time, but sooner or later we end up finding

(40:23):
out the truth. Other than that UFO crash in Roswell
In nineteen forty seven other than that one, but we
always end up finding the truth. Sam. Your thoughts on this.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
First of all, Roswell's true. Roswell's true. No, sorry, don't
mean to make light. Listen, the former president is diagnosed
with aggressive cancer. It's awful, it's terrible, but we cannot
forget in light of this. Nobody wants to see anybody
have cancer, but we cannot forget that while he was

(40:59):
president and under his administration, the power hungry people behind him.
I believe, as we continue to find out, we are
going to see the largest fraud committed on the American
people come to light, from the auto pen to his

(41:23):
cognitive ability, to the get your family out of free
out of jail free card that he signed well quote
unquote in quotation marks he signed at the end of
his administration. It is going to come to light that
the biggest fraud on the American people was committed under

(41:44):
Joe Biden. And I bring this up because the timing
of this diagnosis is very convenient, very convenient, where two
and a half days prior to this, the audio recordings
of the Herbert to Her interview were released and for
the as soon as they were released for forty eight hours.

(42:08):
They were being just meticulously listened to, gone through. People
were commenting every which way about how he stuttered, he stammered.
This is an example. We had the paper documentation of
this interview, but to hear it, to actually hear the
struggle in his thought process, the delay in the answers,

(42:30):
the tripping over his own tongue trying to answer it
really is proof or really passes on? You get the concept.
You can hear firsthand the struggles in those The release
of those tapes piggybacked the commentary of it is coming

(42:55):
out all that. For the past two three weeks now
we have been hearing bits and the books are being released.
Those that were in the White House are those who
have contacts that were in the White House writing these
books about what was actually going on behind closed doors.
Who was actually running things besides Jill, Doctor Jill, you know,

(43:17):
doctor Jill Wright Otis. She's a doctor, she's a doctor.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Should have been the surgeon general.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Well maybe she's uh, she gets to play doctor now
with the prostate cancer. But we're seeing all of this.
That's why I go back to saying, it's very convenient
that now the cancer is announced, and I'm not trying
to be cold hearted. I am not trying to what

(43:47):
do I want to say. I don't want to come
off callous in light of this cancer diagnosis, but you cannot.
I'm sorry. I cannot help but point out the timing
and the convenience of it. And bloom Daddy mentioned the media,
and there are a couple Jake Tapper, by the way, CNN,

(44:08):
shut up, shut up. He is out there going on
and on. He has a book that he's making tons
of money on. He's out there saying, you know, the
media covered up. Oh, it's very obvious. And then on
I believe it was Friday evening the News Night Roundtable
on CNN. Now they're all saying, you know, Democrats, it

(44:31):
was there. We should you know, there's no reason the
Democratic Party didn't realize his cognitive slip, that he was struggling. Really,
you're part of the problem. You covered it up. How
many quotes can we go back to where he's the
best president, he's one hundred percent there. You did it
to CNN and Jake Tapper.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
The hypocrisy is amazing, absolutely amazing, And now all of
a sudden they're just absolutely shocked that nobody called out
the slip, the mental acuity that our president was at
while he was president.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Shame on you. We're not stupid, we're not falling for it.
We see it, We see the hypocrisy. You can't put
the genie back in the bottle, and that's what they're
trying to do. It's eight sixteen. You're listening to the
Bloom Diddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA.

(45:44):
Oh man, it's a twenty two the Blue Daddy Experience.
Samon OTAs News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. We like to
cook our week off early with this guy, Kevin Cook's
drop on a mode of Good morning, Kevin.

Speaker 6 (45:57):
Morning, guys. How y'all doing? Want good?

Speaker 3 (46:00):
How was your weekend?

Speaker 6 (46:01):
It was phenomenal? Yeah, absolutely fantastic. Yeah. I mean, I
think I think right now corporately with the seventh Store,
we kind of goal set for around five point fifty
this month, maybe tracking closer to six hundred. I mean that,
you know, well, and it's just because of the deals
that we've got right now. All right, everybody understands, you
know that the that it is terrifory pricing that the

(46:25):
stuff that we have on the ground right now, which
is over eleven hundred units, are priced to sell all
right pre om vehicles right now, the best selection we've
had in a long time. I mean all makes, all models.
You can check it out online and see just you know,
it's how easy it is to save money with the
Scribe Automotive Group.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
And that's the main point, right, save money.

Speaker 6 (46:48):
What is you know, because because let's say, you know
sometimes you know during COVID, you know, prices were driven up, okay,
due to demand. The manufacturers weren't given the incentives. There's
a crazy used core prices out there. There's some crazy
new core prices out there. And we've got people that
are actually trading their vehicles in right now and lowering

(47:08):
their paintments, right and that that hasn't happened in a
long long time.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
That's always a good thing.

Speaker 6 (47:15):
Right, That's a very good thing, very good.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
And your cars have ever drive.

Speaker 6 (47:20):
Ever drive. See. I like the way you always bring
this back, you know, because you know, the lifetime power
train protection as long as you own that vehicle to drive.
Automotive Group believes enough in the products that we sell
that we will absolutely stand behind an engine, transmission, drive train,
full drive drive train. All right, every component in there
that's lubricated is taking care of for the entire time

(47:43):
that you own that vehicle. And even on pre owned vehicles,
you know, there's less than seven years or less. They
have less than seventy five thousand miles on them, lifetime
powertrain coverage. No one else in the value that comes closer.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Nope, nope.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
And it's easy log on, Like I said, drivestribe dot com.
You can check out, you know, the vehicle that fits
your needs. You know, you can reach out to one
of our staff members either you know, through text, you
can reach out to them, email, chat, or the old
fashioned way. Actually pick up the phone and call or
come on in and we'll be happy to help.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
There you have it.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
People that still do that. Pick up the phone. Use
the phone, believe it or not.

Speaker 6 (48:23):
It actually rings here.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
It does nice and you get a human. Do you
get a human?

Speaker 7 (48:28):
We do?

Speaker 6 (48:29):
All right, That is exactly right. We've got people that
are actually answering the phone. You actually got people to
talk to you.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
So I have a question for you.

Speaker 6 (48:38):
Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
As as a young as a young person, did you
ever go to the Wringling Brothers circus. Yes, do you
remember your first time? And maybe about how old you were?

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Oh man, let's see you here, maybe seven or eight.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Okay. I just brought that up because I think it's today.
Today in history is the day in eighteen forty eight
that the Wringling Brothers circus premiered.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
It's a totally different circus now than it was when.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
I was absolutely, yes, it is because they don't they
don't have animals. You can't have you can't have anything
that we always liked.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it was lines of tigers and more.

Speaker 7 (49:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Absolutely, yeah, it's little history there for you.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
Cool appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Yeah, not a problem. All right, buddy, all right, you
do the same there. Yeah, there it goes, see you later.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
What is it now?

Speaker 4 (49:31):
The Ringling Brothers started today? Started today? I believe it
was eighteen forty eight. I didn't print it off. It
could be eighteen eighty eight, yeah, but I think it
was eighteen forty eight.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
It's really Are they still around?

Speaker 4 (49:42):
They are? I don't know if it's still because then P. T.
Barnum bought out the Ringling Brothers, so it is the
Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, and so, you know,
it kind of morphed over time, and then within the
last ten years, you know, everybody got politically correct and said, oh,
you can't have elephants, and you can't have horses, and
you can't have bears, and you can't have lines and tigers.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
And well some of them were treated.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
I get it. No, I mean, I'm not saying I
agree or disagree with it. I just said that they
you have people that.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Don't want You ever see old video or black and
white of how they moved those on the train system.
It was amazing.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
They used to unload down where Pulaski Baseball Field is
in South Wheeling.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
No, I'm talking about decades ago before we.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Were even you know, right, But I'm just saying. What
I'm saying is they came in via train and then
they would they would walk from forty eighth Street. It
was back then it was Moore's Lumber. Now it's Advance
Auto or NAPA or something, and they would unload there
and then they would walk what was considered route too,
which was up you know, Jacob Street. They would come

(50:50):
all the way up Jacob Street and then head into
Town and then crossover because a lot of either they'd
go to West banko Arena or which at the time
was just the Wheeling Civic Center, or they'd head over
to Wheeling Island. Then we'd cross the suspension bridge too.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Like you could see an elephant crossing the suspension bridge.
Oh that's wild, that's wild.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
I mean just I mean, but I mean yeah, I
mean I remember because my my grandparents lived one block
away from Jacob and they lived at forty third forty
third in Jacob Street or the forty third and Wood Street,
and I would walk over when when the train would unload,
and we would watch the parade come through with all
the animals and everything else.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Could you imagine you're coming down the o Higher River
on like a barge.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Or just out on a pleasure boat, and next thing
you know, you're elephant elephant going across the suspension bridge. Yeah,
you'd be like, whoa wait a minute, did I have
as too many?

Speaker 3 (51:37):
What did you put in my drink? Yeah, that would
make you kind of pause a little bit. You mentioned
that it's also National Devil Food Devil's Food Cake Day,
So if you haven't urged for chocolate today, Today's the
day to have Devil Street. Oh all right, we're going
to go to a break because coming up next we
have the United Way in house. Stacy Stephen is joining

I think I'm showing my age when I say the
eighties was one of my favorites. You know, you can
remember it well still the music, you know, I would
still probably bust out some of the Windbreaker pans and
I'll face if I could.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
But hammer pans.

Speaker 8 (53:27):

Well.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
And here's the thing. If you have not been to
Route forty Lumberjacks, by the way, everybody, you've got to
check it out. Here's the way I describe it to me.
It reminds me of your face ver it friends. Rec
room is a kid but for adults it's like it's
like the rec room you would have hung out in

(55:07):
as a kid, but with adult themes and adult beverage.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Right.

Speaker 8 (55:10):
Absolutely, they have a beautiful bar with the garage door
that opens to the outside, the outdoor area where they
have you know, the adult like jinga and connect for
the big ones that you can go out there and play.
Last year's Tongue in Cheek played outside this year. I
don't know what the weather is going to hold for us,
so they may be inside or outside.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 8 (55:29):
But yeah, it's beautiful and the work that Stacey and
Doug have done in there is nothing short of amazing,
and they just keep expanding and making it better and better.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
So and you said it's twenty five dollars a ticket, correct,
and tickets are still available.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
And with with that twenty five dollars remind everybody everything
made here.

Speaker 8 (55:50):
Stays That's our annual campaign. So everything we raise at
our United Way of the Upper High Valley stays within
the seven counties that we serve, so that all stays local.
And we do serve Tyler Wetzel, Marshall, Ohio, Brooke, Hancock,
and then Belmont County in Ohio. So this is one
of our Belmont County fund raisers.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Wonderful and then coming up so we've got this. This
is the second year for the Eighties Axe Stravaganza, right,
nice little play on words there. So that's that's coming
up this Friday. But then the summer fundraising is just
kicking off. What do we have?

Speaker 8 (56:23):
Yeah, we have lots of events going on, and I
wanted to say, you know, thank you to our sponsors
for axtravaganza that we couldn't do without them. Coyle Kruth,
Roofing and sheet Metal, Michelle Edgeman, Altmeer Funeral Home, Edward Jones,
Daniel Young, and then of course we're out forty lumberjacks,
so I want to say thanks to them. But we
have lots of summer events going on coming up soon.
Right now, we're also doing a duck derby where we're

(56:45):
selling ducks for ten dollars and they'll be loaded into
the Higher River on June eighth. So that's kind of
a fun event. And you can name them. They've come
up with some good ones already, so that's exciting. And
then we also have celebrity scoopers coming up, and and
you know we've always done Celebrity Scoopers in the summer
with Kirk's womemade ice cream, which is great. He is

(57:08):
so he's been so great to us. He always lets
us have it there. It's usually three days in the
summer in the Saint Clairsvielle location, and this year we said, hey,
would you be willing to take Celebrity Scoopers on the
road and he's yes, absolutely, So we're still doing the
three days in Saint Clairsville, and I think you and
Notice will be there with us giving some ice cream.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
As long as he doesn't eat all the key line
his favorite flavor is back at Kirks.

Speaker 8 (57:33):
I saw that, Yeah, I saw that. I don't know
if you've had the cookie butter, but it's also amazing.
We have so June eighteen through twentieth, one to four
each day we'll be at Kirk's and Saint Clairsville with
our Celebrity Scoopers. You know, we're doing a contest with
tips to see who can raise the most tips and
we're gonna use our Rais app to do that leading

(57:53):
up to the event as well. And then June third,
we'll be in Moundsville at Flurries up at Grandview Park
from twelve to three, and then June fifth will be
in Barnesville for the Fun in the Ville and Kirks
will have his trailer out there from four to seven
and we'll have lots of people scooping. June thirteenth will

(58:13):
be in New Martinsville at Stalder's Family Creamery from six
to eight pm and also have some celebrity scoopers. And
then June twenty seventh will be in Wheeling from twelve
to three at Waterfront Hall with Kirks and med ice
cream as well.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Jeez, So if you have ice cream, if you need
ice cream and you have that hankering free, you're gonna
find it home.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (58:37):
Absolutely, And I can't say enough good things about Kirk
and Judy at Kirksamye ice Cream. You know they've done
they've gone above them beyond to help us out and
just you know, they are great people all the way around.
So I want to say, you know, thank you to
them as well.

Speaker 9 (58:54):
Well.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
And that's one thing. You know, we talk a lot
about different organizations and different events throughout the year, but
they're also particular community community members that whether they own
a business, don't own a business, or in work for
a particular company. You know, there's there's financially giving, but

(59:15):
then there's also giving your time and your energy and
your just volunteering that is just as valuable for organizations
like yours.

Speaker 9 (59:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (59:24):
Well, and for them to allow us to infiltrate their
store for three days, and those poor girls that work
out there, you know, we always try to do a
little something for them as well, because we're in all
reality taking their tips, so we do try to give
back to them. But you know, since COVID, fundraising has
not been easy, and I think I hear that all

(59:45):
around the valley and these these nonprofits.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
So for him to allow.

Speaker 8 (59:49):
Us to do that, and it's something that's fun and
it's not a ton of work, and you can go
out there and have a good time. And what's better
than eating ice cream for three days while you're doing
a fundraiser, right, So parks of the job, right, So
him allowing us to do that, we're just so grateful
to them and it's a it's a great, fun, fun fundraiser.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
And you mentioned post COVID the struggles that a lot
of you know, what have what have you faced?

Speaker 8 (01:00:14):
Well, everyone's buying for the same money. Sponsorships, you know,
are kind of down. People weren't doing as much as
they used to.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
We've had to pivot.

Speaker 8 (01:00:22):
I think a lot of agencies have had to pivot.
There's a lot of fundraisers, more fundraisers. You know, it
used to be just nonprofits. Now it's soccer teams and
baseball teams and schools and everybody's doing fundraisers. So you know,
what we do is we raise money throughout the year
for annual campaign in order to give that back to

(01:00:42):
other agencies. So we have almost thirty partner agencies throughout
the High Valley that we help. We just went through
our allocations process for next year starting in July, and
you know last year we allocated over six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. So that's all money that we're out
there fundraising and raise all year long, all year long.
You know, we also have employee campaigns and corporate donations

(01:01:05):
and individual donations, but a lot of that is fundraising
as well. So it's a full time job. And I
think a lot of people don't realize that when you
look at these nonprofits that are out there trying to
raise money to make this better community.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
A better place.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Yeah, so as soon as that, excuse me, as soon
as the distribution is done. After the allocations, you're starting
back over from zero and starting the campaign again. Well,
hopefully we'll kick off the new campaign season this Friday
again Eighties Extravaganza happening at Route forty Lumberjack Jacks. Tickets
are still available at the door, so you.

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
Can get them at the door. You can get them
on our website.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Okay, perfect, and again the band Tongue in Cheek kicks
off at seven, so come hang out with me. I'm
gonna be there Friday, so we're gonna have a great
We're gonna have a great time. I can't throw an ax,
that's that's for sure, but we'll have fun. So anyways, Stacy,
thank you so much. This morning. You it is eight
forty five on your Monday. You're listening to bloom Daddy,
the blim Daddy Experience here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

(01:02:11):
Welcome back to fifteen. You're listening to the Blundaddy Experience
Otis and Sam Nuke Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So if
you've been living under a rock, you don't realize that
the first American pope is now the head of the
Catholic Church, American born. And you know when this all

(01:02:32):
first happened, I thought, man, the Vatican is going to
get a taste of American culture. I think, otis it
was you that joked about the he's from Chicago, Chicago
Deep Dish pizza making its way to the Vatican. Well,
now there is a national bobblehead for the Pope. The

(01:02:57):
National Bibblehead Hall of Fame Museum has released Pope Leo
the fourteenth bubblehead.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
Of course he did. I'm surprised they didn't do it
a White Sox.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Game and only cost thirty dollars, so not bad. You
can pre order your Pope bubblehead if you want it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
So, if we have a you said, we have a call.

Speaker 10 (01:03:18):
We do.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
We have Dan from Washington wants to comment on the
Joe Biden thing. Joe, I mean, Dan, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (01:03:24):
Okay, this is a probably a long forgotten item, but
it does correlate to what was going on in uh
frecient past history. Everybody forgot about a silent voice that
made a lot of noise. And if everybody remembers Joe

(01:03:46):
Biden's dog, Commander that dog jumped on him. He broke
his hip. So what everybody forgot was the dog stepped.

Speaker 9 (01:03:57):
On his foot and his foot just broke. I mean,
now if that.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
Doesn't constitute brutal bone disease. And that was probably the beginning.

Speaker 10 (01:04:08):
Of his second year in office, I have you know,
so that is likely possibly when he had the cancer
and then it fantasticized.

Speaker 7 (01:04:19):
To the bone.

Speaker 10 (01:04:21):
That's a likely possibility.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
You're saying that was an early indicator.

Speaker 9 (01:04:28):
Oh I believe so.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:04:30):
Interesting, I mean as munch as everything got covered up.
But you know, commander met twenty eight or chased or
attacked people that were service people that were used to
would be used to handling a dog or a criminal
or whatever. And twenty eight or thirty two times Joe

(01:04:51):
was not in charge of his dog. So how could
he be in charge of the country?

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Oh, simply But yeah, that's a very simple thing, thank you, Dan. Yeah, yeah,
that's uh can't handle your dog, how do you run
a country? Good point? Good point, Dan, speaking of Joe Biden.
To go back there a little bit. I don't know
if you've seen this, but it is now being reported

(01:05:16):
on top of everything else that's being reported that the
administration reached out to Steven Spielberg. Hopefully you're all familiar
with the name Steven Spielberg, of course, renowned Oscar winning filmmaker.
Anything from Jaws to Schindler's List is in his on

(01:05:37):
his IMDb page. But it is now being reported, according
to Axios, that he was reached out to to help
with the communication struggles that Biden was having quote unquote.
They were hoping to bring the Hollywood magic to Biden's
speaking engagements and also his campaign videos. The recruited Spielberg

(01:06:03):
to help Biden by upgrading his lighting and microphones to
improve his appearance at speeches. I don't think lighting was
going to really help the blank stares that towards the

(01:06:24):
end we were seeing. You know what that You remember
when they said that the infinite infamous social media video
where Obama had to gingerly help him off the stage
at a campaign fundraiser. Do you remember that game? And
it was a big deep fake. It wasn't real. Yeah, no, no, no,

(01:06:47):
it is now coming out by a lot of talking
heads that you know, we should have known then that
something was wrong. No, you should have known two years
prior to that, exactly exactly. So, going back to the
Spielberg portion of this, listen, unless they were able to
completely create a CGI or AI version of Biden at

(01:07:10):
these rallies and these fundraiser dinners, let alone the debate,
which was worse than an SNL skit. Let's be honest,
Steven Spielberg has magic. He doesn't have that magic. I
mean he isn't the Wizard of Oz. I mean he's
not gonna be able to fix that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
So wizard really didn't have any magic either.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Oh, yeah, you're right, he didn't. Yeah, he didn't really
do anything. Yeah, that was a bad analogy. That wasn't
the right the right one to point out. So I listen,
we're going to continue to see this stuff come out.
And for the majority of us who had eyes and
ears during the past four years and just a lick

(01:07:57):
of intelligence, we're not gonna to learn anything we didn't
know or we speculated on, because we saw it for ourselves.
We knew it was there, we knew what. So for again,
all of those that are acting in shock and awe,
uh huh, yeah, then you were you were blind and

(01:08:17):
deaf for the past four years. If you didn't notice
any of this decline any So welcome to reality and
thank you for joining the rest of us at the
dinner table because we've seen it for the past couple
of years. With that said, again, we have a chance
to win this morning. Where are we at? Otis? Two minutes?

(01:08:41):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
Well that's what this normally means.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see that. I was reading something.
I'm multitasking in here, trying to do too much at once,
trying to do too much at once. Speaking, we mentioned
Kirk's ice cream. Don't forget. We're gonna have our new
flavors of the week. I've got to go in and
get some pictures this week, so register for that, Sam
