Speaker 1 (00:01):
The 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, Well.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good Wednesday, seven oh six with wom Daddy experienced him
and Otis. News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Good morning, Otis, Yeah,
good morning. Yeah. So we are once again flip flopping
our Wednesday show.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Maybe maybe tardy as usual, so of course she gets
a slip today.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, as it is a Wednesday, we always have politics
unleashed with Elgie McCardell. Due to scheduling issues, we're going
to once again do that segment in the seven o'clock
hour in flip flop the show. So just so you know,
that's going to be coming up here shortly. We hope,

(01:13):
we hope, we hope. So in the meantime, before we
get into knee deep into the political conversation, how.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
About, well, let's tell them what we're gonna have coming
up in the eight o'clock hour. In the eight o'clock hour,
you're going to we're going to pay tribute to George
went Norm Norm from Cheers you passed away yesterday or
yesterday morning, I.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Believe seventy six, seventy six. Yeah, listen, if you've heard
Otis talk, one of his absolute favorite shows of all
time is Cheers. And as soon as I saw the
announcement yesterday, I thought of Otis, So yeah, we're gonna

(01:57):
we're gonna touch on that in the eight o'clock hour
because if you were anybody who grew up in the
eighties and you watched Cheers, Norm is just one of
those iconic characters. How many times have in your group
of friends do you have a buddy that you you know,
walks in your Norm. It's just it became a cultural phenomenon.

(02:18):
He became that character, just became part of our vernacular
for a short amount of time. So we are going
to talk more about that in the eight o'clock hour
after we get through as I said, all of the
political conversation. As I was mentioning, we are getting into

(02:39):
Memorial weekend, how about some good news. Let's kick off
this show with some good news. So millions of holiday travelers,
of course we'll be enjoying. Listen to this. We haven't
heard this in a long time. Cheap gas. How's that sound? Wow?

(03:01):
Gas Buddy says the national average fray gallon of gas
will be about three dollars and eight cents. We're right there, people,
we are right there. We are almost under the three
dollars mark, which would be the cheapest we have seen
a Memorial Day since twenty twenty one.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I don't think I've paid over three dollars in about
two months.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Real where are you going?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I can't tell you?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay, fine, oh you know this is your little little
Heidi hole, your little special I'll.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Be honest with you. I mean there have been places
so the sheets, because my car is made after two
thousand and one, obviously I go to sheets and I'll
put the unleaded eighty eight in, which is normally cheaper.
It's normally about ten cents or so cheaper than the
regular eighty seven. Or if you go down to the
Walmart in Glensdale, Glendale, it is probably it's always twenty

(03:51):
cents cheaper than just about anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
So you've already.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I mean, I don't like the Walmart in Mountsville. I
think the last one time I paid ten sixty four
for a gallon of gas and it's gone back up
to like two seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, still still to seventy I mean, so yeah, if
you are planning on traveling this holiday weekend, this is
the time to take advantage of the gas prices. Yeah,
it's been it's been a while.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Speaking of traveling, guess who, Well, she doesn't even have
her headphones on yet. Look at her. She's just like,
huh here, hold on, do you even get her headphones?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
No, there's a pair right there. I'm plugging those ones
in there you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
We were talking about cheap gas prices and traveling. Well,
that's all you've been doing for the last month and
a half.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yes, it's been ridiculous. I have been everywhere, everywhere in
the world.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I think where in the world is Algid McCard at
a carbon San Diego. Are you glad to be back?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
I am.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
I am, except for from I'm gonna be on the
road again. So it's you know, it's just part of life.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Is it still raining out there?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
It is?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Did you walk?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I did? I did walk?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh you did walk?

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well? Not yes, from from.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Where I parked from her car at the station. I
mean no, I met.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was still two blocks I met from her office.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, I didn't walk that far. No, no,
because I have to go to court. That's why i'm
here early. I have to be in court by eight thirty. Well, yeah,
your day job, you know, yeah, you know, one that
pays the bills, the real job.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I always call the real job.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
The real job. This is a real job.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
It is. But I'm just it's the one that has
the benefits and the pension and everything else. This one doesn't.
So this is what I said.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, this one doesn't have very much for you.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's less than me.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Before we get into the political talk, we'll do that
after after the break. I wanted to ask you about
this particular civil suit. If you remember the story, former
employees of the Weirton Dental office are filing suit against
the dentist the doctor. Reports say that we're in dentist
doctor Jeremy Crowe concealed a hidden camera inside an employee's

(06:10):
only restroom. The situation came to light last year after
investigators say a female staffer reported finding a water bottle
in the bathroom with a camera in it. Crowe has
a court appearance scheduled for today as he faces dozens
of charges, But the fifteen former employees of the dentist

(06:30):
filed civil suits against him last week. So for those
that aren't real familiar, kind of the difference between the
civil suits and then the court appearance that the legal
side of things.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Right, well, obviously there's criminal and civil. There's criminal statutes
and civil statutes. Criminal penalties are fines, incarceration.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Court costs.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
A civil suit goes more for damages, and that goes
to the pocket book of the dentist and or his insurance.
But if it's an intentional tort like this appears to
be in violation of privacy, he might come have to
come out of pocket. I'm not sure what his net
worth is, but there's a big difference. Basically, civil is
money and criminal is jail. So those are the two

(07:19):
suits that are currently pending. As you indicated that generally speaking,
they probably are foiling the civil suit because they might
be up on a statute statutal limitations. But I doubt
that the civil suit will go anywhere until the criminal
case is done. If he is found guilty under the
criminal statutes, then you won't have to.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Prove that part of the civil suit, and that just becomes.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
A damage issue because if we look at high profile cases,
the one that pops ahead to my head is ojail. Now,
of course this is in no way, shape or form
on the level of that. But the family and the
families of the victims in the criminal proceedings felt that
they did not receive justice. They went this civil route
and they won hands down. Is it is it less

(08:06):
when it comes to a civil versus a criminal trial?
Is there less volume of proof needed in a civil versus.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Criminal Yes, so in a criminal case it's proof beyond
a reasonable doubt and in a civil case it is just.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
A preponderance of evidence.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
So there's some civil cases that are going to go
clear and convincing, but in most personal injury suits, it's
going to be the preponderance of evidence. And that, you know,
if you want to talk about the scales of justice
in the balancing, you know, if you have a fifty
preponderance is more likely than not. So it's more like
a fifty one percent beyond a reasonable doubt is more

(08:43):
towards the you know, ninety percent.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
There's a different feel to both proceedings too. It's it's
can't you ask more probing questions in a civil suit
than criminal more? I'm thinking of videos I've seen of
different trials that have used those testimonies, and it seems.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, the rules of evidence apply to civil and criminal
cases alike, but whether or not a particular rule applies
in this situation.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
To a particular set of facts is different.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
So there are certain things in a criminal case that
you're not allowed to get into, like I don't know,
like any sex in a brain case, prior sexual conduct
of the victim and that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
So there are certain.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Laws that preclude evidence, whether it be a statute or
a rule or case law.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, yeah, so we'll follow that story as it continues. Again,
this is the the the accusations against former or current
dentist of weird and doctor Jeremy Crow. All right, she's here,
she's in the house. You heard the voice. It is
time for politics. Unleash we'll be doing that next. You're
listening to the bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News

(10:04):
Radio eleven seventy wwva ah, we are back seven twenty
one on your Wednesday morning. A little rainy out there,
The bloom Daddy experience, Sam and Otis and of course

(10:24):
now Elgie mccartill, politics unleashed. All right, so where do
we begin. Let's start with the prostate diagnosis. We haven't
had a chance to talk about this. Yes, it was
announced Monday. Was that Monday? That Sunday night?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Monday? It was after they released the her report.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Though, exactly. Yeah, So that was my takeaway from this
was you know, of course I said, you know, it's
terrible and you don't want anybody have cancer. It's awful,
but the timing is questionable. Convenient convenient, Yes, there's a
better term. Did What were your first thoughts when you

(11:09):
heard the announcement.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
As to the diagnosis.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Well, first of all, no one has stage four cancer
immediately without knowing anything of.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
What's going on. You do have symptoms.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
You cannot have a cell destroying disease in your body
without knowing or without exhibiting any symptoms.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Let alone being the president with the best doctors.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Exactly, And prostate cancer is not one that is rapid,
you know, and for it to be metastasized in his bones,
I mean you're talking major.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
You know, long hair, it's been there, it's been there, there's.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Been a doctor that has been played over on em
manual Well various radio right broadcast, right, and it's a clip,
I mean obviously, but he said, look, he said this
has been going on for a while, because he said
they should have known that. He said, this is like
five or more years in right, Right.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
So it just doesn't come on that way.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
And it's one of the more curable cancers, especially if
caught early.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
And why would you not.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
I mean, I think there was some clips that said
that he even had it when he was vice president.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
So I think it.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Is all part of the cover up. It's part of
an excuse. It's part of the media's problem. Blatant lying,
blaytont lying, it's the cause of distrust. And it's not
something people have talked about. Shocked, No one's shocked. People
are not shocked by the fact that it existed. People

(12:57):
are not shocked by the fact that it was and disclosed.
People are not shocked by the fact that it wasn't covered.
You know, it's just something that is all put together
in a package, nightly nightly cover up package.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
You know, it's nicely tied with a bow and here
you go American people.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Right, And then if they think that people are gonna
buy this. I mean, I just think it creates more distrust.
It creates more I don't know, fear of the media,
But it's just that there's just I don't know what

(13:39):
they teach in journalism anymore.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I don't think they do. Yeah, I mean, I think
they teach it. But once you get to a certain level.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
You're outside it.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Then the the people that are in charge or telling
you what to do or else, you're out of a job,
right until until you get to be at a certain level.
Then then it's you doing it on your own, right, right.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I think it increases the spread of skepticism.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yes, that's that was the word I was looking for. Yeah, absolutely,
it is skepticism. What do you believe which you didn't?
It's it's it's hard to distinguish truth from from falsity,
reality from fiction. You have AI generated things. The Internet
is not the end all be all. It is a

(14:23):
great start if you want to go somewhere to figure
out where the research should begin. But that's all it
is for, is research should begin. I don't even know
where you go to verify anything anything because it's so
hard to tell what the sources are what's real and

(14:43):
what's not. And then you know, going through the sources,
it might have a footnote. You check the footnote, you
read that article, that article refers to other. I mean
there's a reason why there's hearsay rules and evidence.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's it's an ugly circle. Well that takes me to
I posted it this last night on our Facebook page.
Knew we were and a hit on this. I put,
you know, in light of the cancer diagnosis, in speculation
of when Biden's the bidens knew about the cancer. Is
the presidential the president's mental decline and now physical health
going to be this nation's biggest cover up in history?

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Oh? I think so.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
I think so, just because I mean so many things
that autopen, Who who had the autopen? Who got you know,
I think there was some scuttle butt, whether you know
it's true or not. I don't know that the AIDS
were cashing out on the pardons. Yeah, you know, they'll we'll,

(15:38):
we'll do all the paperwork and we'll run it through
and you know, we've got the autopen.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
So the big one that they're talking about is the
Chinese spy that had like six hundred thousand images of
child pornography on his computer and they just let him go. Yeah, yeah,
I mean, so how did they let him go? Somebody
made some money on.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
It, right, and who gets who paid?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Hmm?

Speaker 4 (15:57):
I wonder who?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, you know, And we had some of course responses
on the page. I wanted to read some of those
to you. Let's see here, let me oh gosh, Dave. Hmmm, Dave,
I disagree with you, he said. He said, no, all
of Trump's corruption and dirty deeds are the biggest cover up.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Okay, Dave, so transparent?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Teddy says, yes, it definitely is. Let's see here. Dave
also knows this is a different Dave. I can't tell. Nope,
this is a different Dave. He says, it is not
important now he is out of office. We should be
looking forward. I disagree with you also, Dave too, because

(16:47):
that's what they want. People that are involved in things
that are bad, that are questionable. That's how they get
away with it. Just move on, Just sweep it on
the under the rug and move on. I don't care
what subject you're talking about. We're talking about this subject
or anything else. Just sweep it under the rug and
just no, no, because then that opens the door for

(17:10):
others to do it right.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
If it's done right, it creates precedent.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Not to mention the fact that I think some of
those executive orders and or pardons need to be challenged.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, we're gonna get into that. Hold that thought because
I want to talk about the her report and the
audio tapes here next seven twenty eight, The bloom Daddy Experience, Sam,
Otis and Elgin, News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back,

(17:41):
seven thirty six The bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam
and of course Elgin here on news radio eleven seventy WWVA.
We are, of course doing right in the middle of
politics unleashed. So we were talking about, of course, the
prostate diagnosis along with the cover up. I kind of
have a this doesn't office callous, but I thought it
was funny. I'm hoping you'all think it's funny too. So

(18:05):
Congresswoman Sarah McBride, if that name rings a bell to anybody,
put a post down on Monday saying, you know, I'm
heartbroken to learn the President Biden's diagnosis goes on. My
prayers are with him and the family. YadA yad, YadA. Well,
somebody responded, and this has got to be the response

(18:25):
of the week. Let this be a reminder routine prostateed
exams save lies. Make sure to schedule yours, Congressman, because
if you're not familiar, Sarah McBride is actually a male.
So I thought that was funny.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Maybe maybe you don't.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
I thought it was funny. Anyways. Anyways, in regards to
the conversation about being the largest cover up, Randy emailed
and said, sadly, most Americans are too soft or busy
enjoying our first world lives to care. And there's there's
a lot to be said about that.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well, there's a lot of truth to that.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
There is.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
We've discussed many times that only half fifty percent of
the people even vote, so the other half the country
just doesn't.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
You just go about your.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Own little bubble, your own little world if it doesn't
affect you. But what people don't realize is it does
affect you in some way. It's a trickle down theory,
as Reagan always said, and it people should be more concerned.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
And I think one thing people need to take out
of this and the reaction that we are seeing that
we've seen over the past two weeks going back to
the mental acuity of the president. So now we have
the mental degradation, and now we have our degrade along
with now the physical conversation with the cancer diagnosis. The

(19:49):
shock and awe that is being portrayed by some of
the media talking heads at this point is comical, absolutely
comical that they are trying to be innocent have this
ni naive reaction to you know, yeah, I'm a surprised
we didn't see the decline, you know, A shame on

(20:11):
on media not reporting on it.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Hello, sea Way, they should have reported it. I mean,
come on, as far as it's not as shock, and
we talked about the physical and I'm not surprised that
it's metastasized in his bones. It was probably already there
judging from the way he walked and stumbled.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
And you know all of those things.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, I mean, you know, stumbled up the steps, fell
off his bike, you know, couldn't barely fell on the
stage at graduation. I mean, all of those things are
are indicative of just weakness, physical shuffle, weakness, the shuffle,
just just everything.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
And for that yeah, I mean you had to have
your eyes closed.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
Yeah, and basically deaf.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well, and I I think that goes back to the
family members. If they were aware, oh they were, then
shame on them, Yes, talk about cruelty.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, and how about Jake Tapper and his now and
everybody's coming out and saying, oh, well we knew this,
but we were instructed to cover it up and blah blah.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Blah and leave.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
You know, you know there's something called integrity. Yes, and
you want to work for somebody and that that's fine,
Get another job.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I mean, get another job. There there's always another job.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
You do not have to compromise your ethics, your integrity,
your honesty to do what your quote boss tells you
to do.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
You probably shouldn't be there.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Have you have you listened to the her tapes yet?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I have listened to bits and pieces.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Obvious, that's the whole thing, and and it is and
there's no wonder they didn't want them to be produced,
and they alter the transcripts and again just just rewind
hypothetically speaking, had all of that been available to the
Democrats or the Democratic base, do you not think that

(22:05):
they could have had a primary and picked another individual
to run. I mean, the whole point of everything that happened,
the cover up of his mental acuity, the cover up
of his physical prognosis was all Trump derangement syndrome. It
was all to get rid of Trump and justify the means.
But guess what, it didn't work, and now it's backfiring.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know. Well, there's also the long term effects of
this on our government and on as you mentioned earlier,
the trust between the American people and our leadership. What
has been done or possibly be done to not want

(22:51):
to present it as fact because we do not know
for sure, but assuming what we all think was done again,
it is going to rate such a division between the
American people and leaders in trust. How do you recover
that trust? It's the same thing as if you're in
a relationship and somebody steps out on you. Once that

(23:12):
trust is gone, it's gone. No matter how hard you
try to bring it back, it's gone. So that's what's
happened here, unfortunately, And and the Dams hold hold that card.
That's there's their responsibility they do.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think, how do you fix it?

Speaker 5 (23:31):
You fix it with transparency, integrity, I mean, and that's
what And unfortunately, the transparency that it has has occurred
in the Trump administration has also been criticized, for example,
the the uh marilynd Man that was deported in the
due process, and you know that was the They're like, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh, he's disappeared out of the headline.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Right, I mean, yes, that's because they realized that he yes,
he is MS thirteen.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yes, yes, that you know.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
So the transparency is there, but sometimes the transparency is brutal.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, well, and that goes for both parties. It does,
because here's the thing, everything that they're finding with Doge.
You know, listen, you don't go from AOC being a
bartender making nothing a year to be in a multi
millionaire right, Okay, according to her, she's not well whatever, Yeah, okay,
well maybe her husband is right, so somebody. Yeah, so

(24:27):
you know, but the Republicans don't want everything exposed either,
because they're making they're making some money on some of
this stuff as well.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
So I mean that's why we have lobbyist folks.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Come on, right, let's.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Just let's just call it what it is. And you know,
and when you leave.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Lawmaking in the hands of those who are benefiting, it's
very difficult to change laws.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Now, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
I think the big beautiful bill is supposed to be
presented for a vote this week.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Pay we'll see, we'll see.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
I mean, made it out of committee, but I don't
know that. You know, there's still the vote, so I
you know, But again, if Trump's policies and agenda that
had been laid out and that he has been desperately
trying to uh put forward is not acted upon by Congress,

(25:24):
where we have the House and the Senate midterms, good
by bye, just do it now, do it now?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah? And that and that I just lost my train
of thought. My apologies. But it also the timing of
the cancer. I'm going to go back a little bit
because we had last week in the Middle East trip, right,
which was a whirlwind.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
It was a whirlwind.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
I mean, so about where he is, Where was he
on what day, doing what?

Speaker 2 (25:57):
So there's those accomplishments that have fallen out of the
headlines because of the cancer diagnosis and the amount of
money that he closed deals on to bring into this country.
It's astronomical, it's insanity. We've never seen conversations like that
with Middle Eastern leaders by any other president. I wouldn't say.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
I don't remember, it was historical.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
I mean I think the news coverage if you're not skepticism,
if you're not skeptical about that, but yes, trillions, trillions
and trillions of dollars pledge. I mean, everybody wants to
be involved. Everybody wants to be involved with the winner.
Nobody wants to be involved with a loser. Everybody, you know,
will you have very successful sports teams. Everybody wants to

(26:44):
be right, Yeah, everybody wants to be on bandwagon.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
And so they're all coming in.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
And then after the Supreme Court, Supreme Court ruling on
Monday about the Venezuelan three three hundred and fifty thousand
illegals are it seems as if the tides are are changing.
They're you know, kind of going in Trump's favor. So
hopefully if we see the big beautiful bill, well that's
a mouthful, yeah then BBB. Yeah, we're getting there. Can

(27:12):
you hang out with us a little bit longer?

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, all right? Seven forty five you're listening to the
bloom Daddy Experience. I'm Sam, he's Otis, She's Elgin. Of course,
politics unleashed here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA Welcome back.
Seven fifty one The bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis

(27:35):
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. I want to ask you
real quick, Elgin, in regards to the pardons that were
signed in a whirlwind at the end of the Biden
presidency and the use of the auto pen situation, is
there any way if it comes back to be proven

(27:58):
that he had nothing to do with those there were
it was not him and he in no way, shape
or form had any part in any of that, can
those those pardons be revoked?

Speaker 5 (28:10):
I would think so, because it has to be done
under the authority of the president. Only the president can
granted pardon or the governor in a particular state crime.
So if if there's no authority, it's kind of like
notarizing a document. Somebody falsifies and signs of deed and
claims that there's somebody you know that that whatever real
estate fraud, if it's it's if it's proven to be

(28:33):
invalid and not done by the person, then it's fraud.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Okay, that's what I wanted to Yeah, okay, and you
know what that that's one thing that is interesting, the
the polar opposite of how Trump does things. He's signing
something he's got an entire camera crew in exactly, yeah, exactly,
And I'm surprised his hand's been busy.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
It happens, sign over one hundred like the first day before,
like after, before the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Well, he did some of them at the White House,
and then he went on a road trip to that
convention center, remember where they did the parade because they
couldn't do it outside. And yeah, and he was throwing
the pens to the crowd, remember, yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
And then he went back, then he went to got
your ass, went to some balls, signed more.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
He did a lot that first.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Masically tired just talking about absolutely just talking about it,
all right, So I wanted to read you a couple
of things and get your thoughts. So here. Recently there's
been this influx of conversation about uh, conservatives, Trump supporters,
why Harris didn't win, That conservatives are misogynistic, they're sexist.

(29:45):
Of course, on the The View, Sonny, who's Houston? Houston?
I always saying her name wrong? Who really cares? But
you know, she said that it's because the country is misogynistic.
On the Daily Show, this is interesting, there was the
co host Jordan Klepper was incredibly shocked at the lack

(30:09):
of cruelty he experienced when meeting with young male Trump supporters. Now,
he did this as part of a Comedy Central documentary,
which that is Comedy Central documentary those three words don't
go together, called Maga the Next Generation. He said, I
expected to be confronted by a bunch of blank, twenty

(30:29):
two year olds who want to rail on trans people
in sports and kick out all the immigrants. But the
cruelty wasn't there, and he was shocked by that.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Okay, the cruelty, it's the hypocrisy oft bets. I mean
to say, it's misogynistic. I was actually I made the
comment to my husband the other night. If you watch
the news coverage of Trump's cabinet, yes they are women,
very intelligent women.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
But we made just talking about this a little bit yesterday.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Or there of some ethnic descent Cash Ptel, you know,
Dan Bongino, you know just Mark Rubio.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's the melting pot.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
It is a melting pot of a cabinet. And it
is and it's not only that. It's not only ethnicity ethnic.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
How do you even say that ethnicity.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
The ethnicity is varied, The sexes are varied. The parties
are varied. I mean we have r f K, you
have Tulsey Gabbert, you have people that converted from the
Democrat party. So what about the administration is excluding anybody?

(31:45):
And to say that they are misogynistic or racist or
you know, it boggles my mind because all you have
to do is watch any news conference and see that
it is as it is, as varied as Ellis Island.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Well, if you listen to Jimmy Taylor, who's been on
this show, when bloom Daddy was here on his show,
he says, when you can't pound the facts, pound the
table right. That's what the Democrats are doing. They're pounding
the table right.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
And the worst at it currently right now is Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Her most recent comments about The Handmaids, so you're familiar
with that show in book series, Is the country ready
for a female president?

Speaker 5 (32:28):
I think I think the country is ready for a
female president, the right one though.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
The distinguishing factory.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
I mean, it's not even about female, it's about credentials, knowledge.
I don't think it's going to be the next time around.
My prediction will be Vance Rubio. That's that's going to
be the ticket. That's my prediction.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Well, the Democrats want it so bad. Oh yeah, because
they wanted the first they won, the first black president.
They wanted they went the first women president because that
that's going to make them look like they're the Party
of equality and everything else. But they don't have anybody
that's that can be president.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
No, no, and attempts to throw Kamala out there again
are going to I hope they I hope they do
or aoc oh, God help us all because I think
she will be thirty seven by the time the election
runs comes around.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
But I mean, seriously, wow, wow, Well we'd be.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Better off with Pungo as president.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I agree. Oh, but don't you think what they did
with Harris. I said this the other day when he
and I were talking about it has actually set back
the possibility of a female being president kind of like
yes and no.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I think it depends on who you put It depends
on who.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
You put out there. Yes, I agree, I think it
depends on who you put out there. If you you
put out somebody who is well spoken, intelligent, knows the
knows the warign affairs, Chelsea Gabbert, you know, knows foreign affairs.
Really well, you know, I don't think it's Christina. Laura

(34:09):
Trump is forced to be recognized, you know. So, it's
just it depends on who you put out there.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Oh, the liberals have a heart attack if they if
you put Laura Trump.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yes, and Arkansas, oh.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yes, Sarah Hackaby Sanders, yes, so. And you know what,
Carolyn Lovett, watch.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
For her to be coming up. Wow, yeah, watch for
she's that's Hurricane Carolyn is what she should be called.

so again three zero three eight two name phone number.
That is your entry for your chance to win a

(37:45):
pair of Travis Trip tickets, which we will be doing
later in the show. One thing I didn't get to
with Elgin. I just wanted to highlight and mention was
some good news with the protecting of female sports. Representative
of Laurel Libby won her appeal to the Supreme Court.
The US Supreme Court and has had her voting rights

(38:08):
restored after she was censored by the Main House of
Representatives in regards to her supporting of females in sports.
So with that, let's put a feather in the cap
for the good guys in protecting female sports. So something
good in regards to that topic. Kind of staying along

(38:29):
the same lines, this name should be familiar to folks.
Rachel Levine, m that does that conjure up good memories
for you, Pennsylvania, what do you want to call it?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
But then became promoted by President Biden to like assistant
surgeon General or something of that nature.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
There you go. Yes, Well back in the news because
Smith College, which is a liberal arts school.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Well, there you have it, question answered. I'm not done,
did that. You don't have to go any far.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Exclusively for women and all Women's College has invited Rachel
formerly Richard also known as I'll let you fill in
the blank to be yes, to be the A oh uh,

(39:30):
I completely lost my train of thought to be the
guest speaker. That's it. At graduation.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
I didn't you hear the story in front of me?
And I already knew what it was.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yes, yes, so Smith College, congratulations for cow telling to
bending the knee to the woke movement.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
What's a liberal arts college? What do you expect?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
But listen? Okay, you're a liberal arts college for women?
Are there not women in this country? Real women who
you could have asked? Are there not? Scientists? Are there not? Astronauts?
Are there not? Doctors, entrepreneurs, I don't know, athletes that

(40:16):
they could have asked to be the commencement speaker? Of course.
Not no, no, no, no, no no. We have got
to fall into the ridiculousness of the loud, squeaky wheel
and toe the line and help continue this ridiculous movement.

(40:39):
This is a man, will always be a man. And
now is the commencement speaker at this all girls college.
I hope, I hope they get out of it what
they want. I hope they get out of it what
they want. Real quickly, we were mentioning Saint Clairsville. Just

(41:05):
wanted to let you know the Saint Clairsville City Council
is trying to improve their regular meetings. The council plans
to temporarily move its meetings to the Kevin Barr Event Center.
Hopes are that the new facility would help the ADA
access and attract bigger crowds. No final decision has been
made regarding a permanent move from the city buildings, So

(41:28):
if you attend or would like to attend Saint Clairsville
City Council meetings, there is a move to this new location,
which is the Kevin Bar Event Center, So just a
heads up on that. And then we also mentioned earlier
in the show talking to Elgin, but just since to
reiterate and since we're in a new hour and hopefully

(41:48):
have some more listeners, new listeners if you're just waking up.
Former employees of a weird in dental office are filing
suit against the doctor. Reports say that we're in dentist
doctor Jeremy concealed a hidden camera inside an employee's only restroom.
The situation came to light last year after investigators say
a female staffer reported finding a water bottle in the

(42:11):
bathroom with a camera in it. Crow has a quarter
Paarents scheduled for today as he faces dozens of charges.
Fifteen former employees of the dentist filed civil suits against
him last week. Not sure otis what the defense could be.

(42:34):
Water bottle camera in it. Good luck, yeah, yeah, good
luck with that one. Ooh ooh, the text line is
blowing up.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
It's because he wants to win Travis Street.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, nobody wants to say anything to us. That's nice,
It's okay, that's fine, fine, whatever, But again, we are
doing your chance to win a pair of tickets to
see Travis Trent here on the thirty first of this month,
right here at the Capitol Theater. We're doing it through
our text line three zero three eight to two. Start
off the body of the message with Bloom Danny and
then your name and phone number, and that will be

(43:10):
your registration for your chance to win said tickets. I
have not seen Travis Tritton concert.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
I've seen several times. He opened for Charlie Daniels here
at the Capitol Theater one year they were on tour together.
It was a great show, one of the greatest shows ever.
I mean I that summer, I think I saw Charlie
Daniels five times that summer, well it was spring summer,
and then Travis Tritt was with him. I think in
three of those. So here at the Capitol they were together.

(43:41):
They were together at Stage AE what used to be
the Icy late Amphitheater, Oh yeah, up in up Station Square,
not stay Je but the Icy late Amphitheater. So I
saw them there, and then I think they played the
Pittsburgh Ribfest together. And then Charlie Daniels was at Jamboree
and the Hills. They may have been together, but they
didn't like they didn't know, Like Travis didn't open for

(44:03):
Charlie at Jamburee. They they were on the same they
were on the same they were on the same bill,
but they weren't there the same like, I don't think
they were. Like it wasn't sometimes when towards the end there,
when they booked a big name act for Saturday Night
or whatever, you kind of booked the whole.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Tour was a package deal situation. Well, it was one
of the best concerts you ever saw at January. That's
a tough question.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
You know, I'm not a huge country guy. So people
that were entertaining, probably Sammy Kershaw was pretty good. Uh,
the you know, a handful. I liked a lot of
them as far as you know, the shows, but I mean,
like nobody really knocked my socks off because I'm spoiled.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Toby Keith, Yeah, you're I mean.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
I was spoiled. You know. I can remember seeing John
Mellencamp back in the eighties early nineties and it was
like it was a three hour show, or Springsteen's a
three hour show. I means, so you guys see somebody
for an hour and twenty minutes or an hour and
a half, it's like they're it's done.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
It's like a warm up.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah you're done. Yeah, I mean I do that. But
I mean I go to any show now and it's
like you're done already.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Yeah. Yeah. Tobey Keith and Kid Rock are my two.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
I didn't say I didn't see Kid Rock.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Oh he was awesome, but that's my generation in college.
Kid Rock was big, so he uh yeah, I love
that show. Anyways, it is eight sixteen when we get back.
Let's talk norm you're listening to The bloom Ditty Experienced
samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy Wwva, Well we made

(45:47):
it to eight twenty one on your Wednesday. The Bloomdaddy
Experienced samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. Just stay
before we get into the conversation about the loss of
cheerstar George Went aka Norm, just a little bit of
an update on the Pennsylvania man is facing charges for

(46:08):
allegedly giving beer to an underage baseball fan who fell
twenty feet from the bleachers at a Pittsburgh Pirates game.
Of course, we've talked about this story multiple times. He
has connection back here. The young man who fell has
a connection back here to Wheeling went to Wheeling University. Correct,
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Football?

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah. Pennsylvania State Police said Tuesday that twenty one year
old Ethan Kirkwood is facing criminal charges for allegedly giving
two beers to twenty year old Cavan Markwood during the
Pirates Cubs game that happened on in April thirtieth. Markwood
is slowly recovering at a Pittsburgh hospital where he's been
being treated for back and neck injuries. A preliminary hearing

(46:53):
in the case is scheduled for June twenty third. Two beers.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
He had more than two beers?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, okay, I'm not I'm not alone in
that thought.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
No, he had he had to have more than two beers.
Judging by his physical Well, I mean, I mean that's
my guess. I mean I've been around people that drink,
you know, and partially that's my job. But you know,
you see something. But some people were different. You know.
You can see a guy that could drink twenty beers
and you never knew even had one. You have somebody

(47:29):
that drinks three beers and it looks like they've had
a case. It all depends it up. Alcohol effects people differently.
There's there's a lot of things that come into play
as far as like did he have did he eat
anything before he drank that? You know, there's so many factors.
Was he is he on any medication?

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Was there something else in his system?

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Right? So there's so many different factors. But to be
twenty one and to face criminal charges for I mean,
look he should face something, yeah, but I mean like
jail time. I mean I would have a hard time
with that. You know, we were all young ones. Yeah
I was twenty one, My buddy was twenty. You don't
think I'm buying him a beer somewhere along the line.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Well, we're all out together, right and the kid, I
say kid young hand, Yeah, the kids was twenty Yeah,
So how close is he to the age of twenty one?

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Yeah, I mean there's it's still the law.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
It's still the law. I understand that.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
So I mean, but and you can get in trouble
for you know, providing to an underage or under you know,
drinking legal drinking age. But what did they tailgate beforehand?
You know, there's there's so many factors.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Did they go to a bar beforehand.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Or so many factors that come into play. And to
put it all on this kid for two beers.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah, that's that's that's pushing it.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Yeah, I mean you want to find him, that's fine,
you know, it's I mean, get him a misdemeanor. But
like I sure as heck hoped to God that this
kid doesn't do any jail time for giving his buddy
two beers.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Now, that's why I never understood about the parents who
buy alcohol for their kids, like high school age kids,
and the argument of why'd weather them.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Drink at home than yes, drive and everything else. Yes,
it's it's you're not being a parent at that point
in time when you're putting.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
A lot at risk, your home life.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Your your especially if they bring their friends over, because
now now you have to have now you're letting the
friends consume as well.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
You're making decisions for other people's kids.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Right, Yeah, And you know, I mean times have changed.
When I was in school, you know, I had I
had somebody, there was a there was a meme or
something that said, kids today drink this, and it was
like that Prime sports drink or something I can't. And
when we were kids, we drank this and it was
mad Dog twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
I knew that's what you're going to say.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
And they said, in reality, the mad Dog's probably healthier
than the stuff that these kids are drinking today. Was
terrib Booms Boons Farm.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
That's a classic strawberry strawberry.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Was there was, There was strawberry, there was tickle pink,
there was apple. Yeah, and I think Boon's Farm turned
me off of wine for the rest of my life,
to be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
A Halloween party turned me off of wine. Don't here
public notice, never drink wine out of a straw with
a fake beard. I begged for death. The next day,
I begged please please, Well was it also we were kids? Well,
when I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Not you, probably Bartles and James wine coolers.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
My mother loved those.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Any wine coolers. What was the one Sun Sun Country
wine cooler was a big came in a two liter bottle.
That was a big that was big the one year out.
It was out of the jamboree in the Hills.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
I can still remember my mom.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
The plastic container, her.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Friends with Bartles and James sitting around the pool. No zema.
Was it zero?

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Oh god?

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Oh? And you'd put jolly ranchers in it to give
it a flavor or something.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Yeah, I was bartending when Zeena came out. That didn't
last long. There's a lot of there's a lot of
drinks that have come out, Yeah, that they have not
stood the test of time.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Because somebody's everybody has gotten drunk on them and then
said and sworn them.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
All and they've kind of like people are a little
more conscientious about what they're putting in their bodies. So
like a lot of a lot of those wine coolers
were very high in sugar, so you know a lot
of calories, a lot of carbs, whatever, and so people
now kind of drifted away from that. I mean you
look at you know, the big advertisements on your beer
and all these commercials. Now is how many cars? How

(51:45):
many calories, and so I mean you get a lot
of different things. But you know, we are talking about
beer and there's one person that is like the king
of beer, Norm Peterson.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Oh how perfect.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Yeah, but we don't have playing that.

Speaker 2 (52:02):

(53:52):
representative for his family said George was a doting family man,
a well loved friend and confidant to all those lucky
enough to have known him. He will be missed forever.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Well. The nice thing about reruns is the fact that
Norm will never die.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Yeah, his character is one of three characters that was
in every episode of Cheers. It was Norm, Rhea Perlman's Carla,
and Ted Danson Sam.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
They were in every single episode.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Okay, so which is eleven eleven years. I think it
was two hundred and seventy six episodes. If I'm not mistaken,
you know it was. It was definitely a good run
and an iconic character. The fact that everybody knows a Norm.

(54:51):
Everybody knows somebody that's a Norm. Peterson sits in his
sits in the same barstool every day, maybe moves around
a little bit here and there, panics when somebody else
is sitting in the barstool.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
What was his job?

Speaker 3 (55:07):
He was an accountant. He was an unemployed account an
unemployed accountant.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Cliff was the postal worker.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
So Norm had multiple jobs throughout the show. So he
he was an accountant by trade. He became a hatchetman
at one of the firms where he let somebody you know,
he was the person that would fire the people that
were being fired. He later became a painter. He later
became an interior decorator.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
Oh yeah, so, I mean there. The character of Norm
Peterson was an outstanding character written by the Charles Brothers
and James Burrows, and they.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Did amazing sitcoms that that.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Team and and the Burrows are involved with that. Believe
the Simpsons still to this day. James Burrows is and
then Norm had. He had a guest appearance on Mash.
He had a guest appearance on Taxi. There was a
lot of characters that came. Yeah, okay, he had, he

(56:11):
was on he was on he had he was on
an episode of Mash. He had a cute. He had
an eight ball stuck in his mouth. He was a marine.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
And then he was an exterminator on Taxi. And Ria
Perlman was also on Taxi. Also, the guy that played
Sumner Sloan in the very first episode was on Taxi
as well. Uh. Jeff the black guy that's in the
booth with Louis in Taxi. He had. He had a
guest appearance on Cheers one time. I mean there's like
seven or eight character There's seven or eight people that

(56:40):
had roles on Carol Caine that had roles on uh
Taxi that eventually had a guest appearance on on Cheers.
Christopher Lloyd uh played Jim mcnatowski and was the back
of the Future. Oh yeah, he was. He had he
was in two episodes of Cheers or a couple episodes of Cheers,
So I mean we can get into uh we got

(57:03):
it with this. Look, this thing could this thing could
play for twenty minutes. But we have about two minutes
worth of normisms, and these are basically from the first
season or so. So here we go with normisms.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
Everybody that said sudsy yamber stuff, right, I hear good
things about it.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
It goes on and on. They said, Yeah, how's life
treating you? Norman is like, it's like it's a dog
eat dog world and I'm wearing milk bone underwear.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Well, didn't you say, like my dog's been hit by

Speaker 3 (59:59):

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
I just you hear Diane say Norman, Yeah, I just yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
That was that was That was part of the running joke. Yeah,
because everybody would say Norman. Then after that she would
say Norman.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
She was always in this perman proper and from.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
What they from what I've read, h later on after this,
because in the first season, Cheers was ranked seventy seventh
out of seventy seven shows in Today's day in age,
it would have never survived. NBC was smart enough to
say we've got something here. Yeah, and they saw it,

(01:00:41):
and it just took a while, and it took some
programming changes to put them in with They became part
of that Thursday night must see TV with The Cosby Show,
right and Family Ties, and then you had Cheers and
it was and then you know, either night Cord or whatever.
And the fact that that that NBC didn't cancel it

(01:01:02):
is huge first off. Second of all, when they as
the as the series progressed, because it was filmed in
front of a live studio audience, when Norm would come
in the audience, woel Norm and get they they said,
it became like almost cult like and they just you know,

(01:01:24):
they talk about it and how like how Norm had
an effect on everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Well, it's the perfect name because it's Norm, Like, it's
got that and it's not like Bob.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
It doesn't have the same His original name in the
pilot episode was George, so you imagine just like George.
I mean, it would have probably worked, but it's normal.
But we've become so accustomed to Norm that like anything
else just doesn't register, doesn't fit.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
What was the beer? Did he drank.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Oh, they never had. They never had had a brand. No,
they never put a brand on it. You know, every
once in a while the waitress would ordered like a
mouse and Golden or a Bex or something of that nature,
but it was never they never.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
They never sold out to a particular brand.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
When we come back, okay, we'll talk about Norm's dream
job he got and ended up losing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Okay, all right, Well with that note, that means we're
gonna go to a break a forty five The bloom
Daddy experienced samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy w w
v A welcome back. So we're talking cheers. We're talking Norm,

(01:02:38):
of course, because we lost George went the actor yesterday
who played the iconic role of Norm Peterson.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
What was his wife's name, Vera?

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Did we ever see her?

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
You never saw Vera. You've heard Vera.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
She would call the bar.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Well, no, she like there was a there was an
episode where she showed up at at Carlo's house Thanksgiving
and took a pie to the face, So you never
saw her face. And then there was she was upstairs.
She was she got a job as a head checker
at Melville's. There was all kinds of different things, but
you would you would hear and the voice was actually
George Wentz real wife.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Oh really yeah? When did it? Premiere?

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Nineteen eighty who was nineteen eighty two to nineteen ninety three.
The show ran so eleven seasons. Uh part a couple
of the funny things about Norm as he's he goes
into he starts his own painting business, and he has
Rebecca and what he given him is given advice, and

(01:03:40):
he goes and hires a group of guys. Well, the
guys are slacking and everything else. So he comes up
with an alter ego by the name of Anton Kritz
and that it's actually Norm. Okay, So at the end
of the show, the guys go to lead. They're like, oh,
we're not working for you, you know, you're blah blah blah,
and he goes, look, he says, my name's not Anton,

(01:04:00):
it's Norm Peterson. I'm actually Norm Peterson. And he goes
look and he turns around. He says, afternoon, everybody, and
they all go Anton instead of Norm, and it was he.
The frustration is absolutely hysterical. Probably might be one of
my one of the funniest scenes because you know, it's

(01:04:21):
coming now. But if you've never seen the episode, like
when it was on a first run, it was one
of the funniest things you'd ever seen. And then when
he becomes an interior direct decorator because he did something
for Luth and Frasier, well they recommend him to a couple. Well,
he has to pretend he's gay because they only want
They figured that interior decorators are only good if they're gay,

(01:04:43):
So he has to play this role that he it is.
And then he asks that you know, he says Sam'sy's
lover and everything else because they're trying to fix him
up with somebody. It's just it's just amazing. But the
best job that Norm ever had. Like he's been unemployed
in and out of jobs, you know, all through this series.
He goes in as a beer taster. So they bring

(01:05:06):
him in for like a random sampling, and so he
goes on this like as he's sampling the beers, I
mean he's hitting it on the head. I mean, everything's
going his way. So they offer him a job at
the brewery and it shows him like he's telling him
everything and he's he's got the stethoscope on the on
the vat and he's riding around on the fork lift

(01:05:28):
on on a pallet of kegs. I mean, like he's
he's God at the brewery. Now for him to get
the job officially after his I guess probationary period, he
has to meet the owner of the company and somehow
he's a little nervous and Rebecca plants, you know, a
little seed in his head, and all of a sudden,
he just as the guy starts saying stuff. Oh no,

(01:05:49):
he doesn't freeze. He just he just flies off the
handle and just says the stupidest things and he just
keeps getting put his foot in his mouth and he
can't get anywhere, so his dream job just disappear. Years.
It's absolutely I mean, it's just it's it's it's pure comedy,
is what it is. It's one of the greatest shows
to ever be on TV.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Well, and in the the the relationship or the natural
flow that all those actors had together, but especially he
and John Ratzenberger who played Cliff Claven of.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Course, and Cliff actually it was just natural he wanted
to be He applied for the role of Norm or auditioned,
i should say, for the role of norm and was
turned down, and then he went to the producers and said, hey,
do you have a bar know it all? And they
said no. Well, then he started off as a part

(01:06:43):
time character. So, in other words, he wasn't on the
opening credits in the first season. After this second season
he's been in the opening credits. But and if you
speaking of the opening credits, George went his name as
they roll through the credits, like a lot of them
are in the center, and like when it's ted Dance
and Shelley Long, it's like they're they're together, and George

(01:07:05):
Wentz is always if you look, it's always in the
right hand corner of the screen. We're in that area
of the screen because that's where his barstool was at
the bar.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Why do you know that? Because I read that, Wow,
you're as bad as me. Full of useless information.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
I got a big head that's fully empty knowledge. Useless knowledge.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Yeah, useless information. Well, and here's the thing. There were
so many people involved in that show, the characters, so
many actors and actresses. You never heard of bad stuff
except for the Ted Dance and Diane or Shelley Long.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Well, they didn't really, they they didn't. They didn't get
along with Shelley Loan because she kind of because it
was her style of acting. She was like a method actor,
and a lot of them just they were kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Like, hey, let's just go with it, with the flow.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
And but Shelley and I think Nicholas Colasanto were kind
of method actors. That was coach right, yes, yeah, But
they loved Nicholas because they said he would just go
into character as soon as he got on the set,
he would become coach. Yeah. And you know that's in
the very first episode, which was on last night and

(01:08:20):
I just happened to catch it. I saw the last
episode of Cheers, and then I saw the first episode
last night, and the phone rings and Coach answers the
phone and he says cheers, and he goes, is there
an Ernie Pantuso here? And somebody Sam goes, that's you, Coach.
He goes speaking.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
I remember that. I remember seeing that episode.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
In the first episode, they talked about the sweatiest movie
ever made, because Sumner leaves and she goes, oh my gosh,
thank god you're back. She goes, I mean, I'm listening
to this conversation about the sweatiest movie you ever made,
and he just looks at him and goes cool. He
and Luke and it's like like deadpan. It's one of
the Again, this show was. I mean, if you look

(01:09:02):
at it, you don't know how the first season they
were seventy seventh because the first season was just so
darn good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
People just couldn't find them a lot of the times.
That's what it comes with TV stuff. If well, what
TV used to be, not now, if people didn't know
where to look and what to find. But listen, great character,
normal will forever be.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Listen. We could I could spend as you could. I
could spend another five days talking on Cheers.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
Yes, best ever closing episode in the history of TV.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
We'll announce our winner for the Travis Trade tickets tomorrow.
How many, because there's no way you're gonna be about
to count now.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
It all not, So we'll do that right here after
the show, and we will contact you and tell you
