win via our phone line throughout the show this morning.
So all right we get that all out.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, okay, so let's let's do this real quick. Congratulations
to Write State baseball. They did not make it to
the Super Regionals, but if you watched Friday's game against Vanderbilt,
the number one overall seed, they gave them everything they
could handle. The kid that pitched now Blim Daddy's son

(03:45):
did not play because of an injury the hamstring, and
but was there in support and they were up I
think for to one or four nothing at one point
in time on Vanderbilt in the opening game. Should have
won the game. There was a controversial home run. You know,
it was called foul, then they called it fair. Then

(04:05):
they reviewed it and they kept it fair because you
couldn't see the home run, where like the building behind
where the ball was traveling was a light colored building,
so you couldn't see the ball until it got out,
especially on the replay. So like, you have no idea
where the ball was. And we were texting bloom Daddy
was that fair or foul? And he said, I have

(04:26):
no idea because where he was sitting on the first baseline,
he is, I couldn't tell.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And it just blended into.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
The It just blended into the background. Now when it
came down, as it was coming down and you could
see the street in the background, it was way foul.
But it's where it passes the foul pole, so you know,
it could have hooked whatever. But they they gave Vanderbilt
all they could handle. On Friday, they went into the
loser's bracket, ended up playing Vanderbilt again because Louisville had

(04:56):
beat Vanderbilt, so they were in the loser's bracket. Wright
State ends up knocking Vanderbilt, the overall number one seed
out of the tournament.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
So they had a rematch.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, they had a rematch in the loser's bracket and
they and then and then they had to play Louisville,
who was undefeated. It was too and o going into
the to the last round, and of course it just
they didn't have what they got beat I think six nothing.
So but you know, great great effort from right State
and uh, I mean just phenomenal. I mean like you

(05:29):
talk about David and Goliath, you know that's what it was.
Yea and so and then congratulations go out to the
Mountaineers who were moving on to the LSU Super Regional.
And you talk about a cardiac kids. Wow, down up, down,
up down up. Last night's game was over four hours

(05:52):
and and Kentucky gave him everything they had. And I
think I didn't see the final. I know it was like,
well look I got it right here. They were down
twelve seven and came back in one thirteen twelve.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's a long game.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh it was. It was brutal to watch. My buddy
was sitting there, he goes, this is the longest fing
baseball game I've ever and then we were only three
hours in at that time.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Where'd you it always.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
On ESPN, you said ESPN plus.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh okay, Well, then you mentioned was speaking of baseball,
you you mentioned this to me. LSU Shreveport became the
first college team to finish a season unbeaten at fifty
nine and oh.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, and that is nai A. So that's a you know,
it's not NCAA. It's a different West Liberty used to
be in the nai Okay, so and so did a
lot of the schools around here.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's a different league.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's yeah, it's a different governing different governing body.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay. But one thing to highlight on that, and again
you you told me about this, Uh Shady's side, local
Reese Francis is on that team, the fifty nine and
oh team. Wow, what a run.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Played in six games this year for him. He's a junior.
He's done a little traveling in his baseball career. He
started off at Oakland University and then went to the
State College of Florida in Manatee Sarasota or no, I'm sorry,
that's yeah, State College of Florida. Maybe that's where he was.

(07:22):
I'm looking here. Oh no, East Eastern Florida is where
he went. And then he's now ended up at LSU Shreveport.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So well that the thing that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Listen, local guy part of a fifty nine and er team.
You know that's that that could be a record, it's
never broken.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, and it just kind of popped into my head. Listen,
I'm not a big follower of baseball, especially college baseball.
I'm not good. I'm not bringing up that conversation again.
I don't want to step on that nerve again. But
looking at this young man from Shady Side. We have
Raylan of course that we both know and right, and

(08:00):
then you look at the historical figures that have come
out of this area when it comes to baseball. We've
got Bill Mazerowski, you know, the High Valley.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Both Neros, You've got right Heath Hanes. There's I mean,
uh oh, my goodness, there's so many of them. I
can't even think of there's I can't think of them all.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
But when when we talk sports in the High Valley,
especially high school, we talked football, and we've had great
football players, but historically we've had more successful baseball players.
When you say, I mean they have more the Groves

(08:40):
Groves kids.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Grove, Yeah, Michael Grove obviously is the currently in the MLB.
He's he's hurt. But I mean there's been a handful,
you know, they've they've gone on to play Division one college,
or they've been in the minors. May they may not
have made it to the show, you know, like like
a guy like Jimbo Lamasters that pitched at Wheeling Park
and then into West Liberty and then got into the

(09:01):
Braves organization. Well, when you're behind three Hall of famers Maddi,
Smoltz and Glavin, guess what, it's hard to break that rotation.
That's a big shot out right.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's when you pray that somebody trade you so you
have a shot to get into the big league.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm here.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Hell yeah, Yeah, you're looking at these three guys going,
oh my god, I'm unless unless one of their arms
falls off, I'm never going to be here. I'm never
gonna break that cracked that Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
So just you know, I think I think the success
of our baseball players needs just a little bit more
little love, a little more highlights, a little bit, a
little bit more, a little more love. That's exactly the
way I say it. So again, thank you, uh one two,
remind you three chances to win this morning. Start with
the text line three zero three eight two. Started off
with bloom Daddy name and phone number, and then we're

(09:53):
gonna do calls to other calls throughout the show. So
there's three chances to win seven to six teen on
your Monday morning when we get back. Who got stuck
in the closet and may still be there?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Okay, never mind the bloom.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Daddy Experience salmon OTAs News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, Welcome
back seven twenty one, The bloom Daddy Experienced salmon OTAs
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So tease before the break,

(10:36):
and it Otis pointed out my yeah, okay, So anyways,
is anybody else I don't want to get too politically
heavy today, but I can't. I can't not mention this.
Has anybody else really just kind of grabbed their bucket
of popcorn and sat back and just enjoying in some

(11:00):
sort of I told you so way everything that is
coming out about the Biden administration in the let's we're
gonna call a spade a spade, the cover up, it
is what it is. But I mentioned the closet, so
a secret service whistleblower is now stepping up. This came

(11:22):
out Friday after our show. According to Senator Josh Hawley,
he met with this Secret Service whistleblower who told him
that Biden used to get lost in his closet at
the White House. Okay, so, first of all, not sure

(11:44):
how big the closet is.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Oh, it's definitely a walk in Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
So it may be the size of a of a bedroom.
Who knows. So I'm gonna I'm gonna defend the former
president here a little bit. Maybe it is a walk
in closet that neither you, me or anybody can envision
the size, something that we don't have in our own
personal homes. So if he got lost, okay, I very

(12:10):
much doubt that that's the scenario. I think what it
is this is another example of the mental decline that
he was dealing with and continues to deal with. Let
alone the health decline, because of course, was it last

(12:32):
week that it came out or the week before that
he is suffering from prostate cancer. But this is just
another layer in the cake of the deception of the
Biden administration. And at this point in time, how much

(12:52):
responsibility do we put on Joe Biden himself. I am
not defending the man. I am not saying that he
was a great politician. I am not saying that he
was a good president, because he doesn't even come to
the level of good. I don't even know if he
comes to the level of adequate, to be honest, but

(13:17):
if he was as mentally hindered as those with eyes
and ears could tell Doring as it was happening, We
saw it happen before our eyes, those of us who
decided to keep our eyes open and pay attention, and

(13:37):
we're not afraid to point it out.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
I e.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Hello, legacy media. Oh no, there's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong.
But how much do we put on him or are
is it those who surrounded him who's responsible? That's the
big question. But back to the closet. Listen, this is

(14:05):
the man running our country couldn't find his way out
of his closet in the mornings. Think about that. So
that begs you to answer, you know, question, who had

(14:28):
the key to the nukes? And I'm not trying to
be dramatic here, these are legitimate questions. Who was making
the decisions, who had control of the pen, the auto
pen plant and saible, Who was in charge, who was

(14:55):
in charge, and how lucky should we feel as the
American public that we got out from underneath that as
still a sustainable country. I mean, let's be honest, if
we think back almost five years ago now, think about

(15:18):
the timing of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, think
about how bad the border was at that point in time.
It had just started the flooding. And prior to that,
roughly I may have I may have my dates off

(15:40):
a little bit, but roughly a week or two prior
to the Russian invasion, the absolute military debacle of Afghanistan happened.
And I said it at the time, it was as
if Putin sat back and watched and saw what a

(16:01):
failure that was and said to himself, hmm, the United
States has no leadership, and the leadership that they have
is failing this quickly as they took over. So the

(16:24):
fact that that happened so early on in the administration
and we got out not unscathed, because listen, the country
a mess under Biden, and it continued to become a mess.
But the fact that we got out with what we
did from Biden semi lucky, semi lucky, not saying everything

(16:51):
was good, it was not, and we're still dealing with
those repercussions. But now they're calling on hearings, and rightfully so.
Not only they're talking about calling Biden in front of
judicial committees along with his physician while he was at
the White House. This needs to be investigated, and it

(17:13):
should be investigated as much as humanly possible, because this
is going to go down and I'm saying it now
as the greatest American scandal of a presidency we have
ever seen in history water Grate, Watergate terrible. This completely
completely overshadows that one. I oh no, what do you think?

(17:42):
Good morning and welcome back seven thirty sixth The Landaddy
Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Just
real quick, want to remind you along with our three
chances to win today for raft around Rodeo tickets, also
don't forget Wednesday is going to be our drawing for
our free lunch winner, all courtesy of our friends at

(18:04):
River City. I got to make a nice rainy drive
last Friday out to Flushing to Keiley. Congratulations. I hope
you enjoyed lunch. So if you want your chance to
get free lunch this Friday. All you do is email
Sam at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Sam at iHeartMedia dot
com with your name, phone number, and company, and that

(18:27):
is your registration and we will draw that person on Wednesday.
Huh okay, lots going on this week, lots going on,
lots of chances for you to win. I want to
go back to Friday. Let everybody know in Belmont County,
we are lucky enough in Belmont County to have an
office for mister Rooley. I'm sorry, and it is located

(18:55):
behind the Belmont County Courthouse. I had the opportunity to
go on Friday to the ribbon cutting for that. The
office has moved from Mariotta to Belmont County and it
will be staffed all the time, and they want you
to go in if you have questions and you want answers,
if you have thoughts anything. The doors are always open.

(19:18):
And I got the opportunity to go to that ribbon cutting.
So listen, that's something we haven't had for a while
in Belmont County. So take advantage, take advantage, have the conversation. Listen.
A lot of times people say nothing happens, nothing gets done.
Why didn't they do this? Why didn't they do that? Well,
they've got to hear from you too. If you want change,

(19:41):
you have to be part of part of the movement
to make change happen. People can't read your mind. So
that office is now opened in Belmont County, so again
take advantage of that. Also wanted to highlight otis. I
don't know about your weekend. My weekend was busy. I
wanted to send a huge thank you, huge, huge thank

(20:04):
you to anybody that came out to the Route forty
yard sale that went on for I think it started
on Thursday through yesterday. It was a huge success. I
got the opportunity to volunteer. As I mentioned on Friday,

(20:26):
at the portion that the Rotary of Saint Clairsville did.
We had a phenomenal turnout by shoppers. I do not
have the final tally of what was raised for this
fundraising effort, but to everybody that stopped by, everybody that shopped,
even if you bought something for a quarter, I gotta

(20:47):
say thank you because all of this money that we
raised during this fundraiser will go back into the community.
And we were busy, busy. I was told on certain
mornings and I was there Saturday morning and yesterday morning
you couldn't get into the parking lot of where we
were located. There were so many people there, so it

(21:09):
was huge. And also yesterday morning, man, it was a struggle.
It was a struggle to get up and go back
out again. But I stopped at McDonald's to get myself
a little snacky poo before I put in another shift
at the yard sale. And you know what, sometimes there
are certain things that happened that you kind of stop
and you say to yourself, this is why you do

(21:32):
this stuff. You know, there's certain things that just the
simple acts of kindness that put a smile on your
face and completely start your day off on the right foot.
And there was a lady at McDonald's ahead of me
in the drive through, and she paid for my breakfast.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
We send Jaomi too. Maybe you could have brought me one.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I do owe you to breakfasts. I do. I don't
know who she was. She was in a black suv,
but she really, uh, she really started my morning off
yesterday good. So I just I want to say thank
thank you to her. Hopefully she's listening, because she put
a she put a smile on my face and and
like I said, I was, I was dragging yesterday morning,

(22:18):
and thanks to her, she kind of uh she woke
me up and and got my morning off to a
good store good start. So thank you, miss lady in
the suv. I don't know those kind of things, like
I said, otis. Sometimes it's just the simple, easy things
that you do for somebody else and you have no

(22:38):
idea how that simple thing will brighten their day.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's just you know, we had a little incident on Saturday.
We were I was working my other job, and we
pulled into a service station slash good morn, you know,
quickie mart, whatever you want to call it. And I
was we were sitting in the car and I'm in
the passenger seat, and this lady pulls in and I'm
thinking to myself, crowny six, you flew in here, you know,

(23:06):
like a like a bad out of hell, and like
you like, there's four parking spots and you pulled in
right next to ours, and it's like so she's like,
she's waving at me. She's like and then she says,
so I put my winded down and she says, hey,
she says, can you help me? She goes, we've got
I need air in my tire. My husband doesn't have
any legs. Both of his legs have been amputated. And

(23:26):
she goes, it's hard for me to do it. And
she says, I'm eighty nine years old, So of course
I told her to go ahead and put the quarters
into the air machine and I'm putting air in her
tire for her. Well, they had a I mean it
was a major leak or something, because as I'm put
in the area, well, I mean it's you know, I
told her, I said, look, you got to get down
here to I'm not going to mention names, but there's

(23:47):
a tire store about a mile or a mile and
a half away. I said, you need to go down
there and tell them either to fix your tire or
look at it because you've got issues. She says, well,
I've got an appointment on Monday. I said, this isn't
in the hold air until the end of the day,
let alone Monday.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So so you were the good Samaritan. I guess you
were the nice guy here. Yeah, so you can do it.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Well, I've done it before. I just don't advertise it.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
I know, I'm just teasing you.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I don't. I don't like people to know what I do.
I like to be known as the ahle. Oh okay,
I don't. I don't want people to know my good deeds. Okay,
just do you, because then I got a reputation uphold.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
That's a choice. That's a choice I got.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know, people people think I'm one, so I might
as well let them keep thinking it. I don't want
them to. I don't want to ruin their their vision
of me.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
You don't want to blow your cover? Okay, well you
mentioned how did you say it a y?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
How did I say what a whole?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah? Okay, speaking of one of those. Okay, I'm going
to call out some folks. So I don't know if
you have been following this on social media over the weekend.
I believe this was on Friday. A friend of show
was driving on Route forty in front of the White

(25:14):
Sides area there between White Side cvs. AutoZone that that
portion of Route forty. Unfortunately, friend of show left his
wallet on top of his vehicle. Listen, who hasn't left
a cup or cell phone? My husband's left a cell
phone a couple times. Oh okay, yeah, we've all done

(25:38):
something like that, so the wallet fell off and somebody
in a gray looks like a super legacy. According to
people who are identifying the car, pulled over, picked up
the wallet, put their flashers on, didn't actually pull over

(25:59):
at actually just sat in the middle of Route forty
and picked up the wallet and the cash that sort
of flew out of it, put on their flashers, got
back in the vehicle, and took off. As of this morning,
there are no reports of the wallet being turned in anywhere.

(26:24):
And this happened on the thirtieth What was the thirtieth
was that Friday? Yes, okay, so happened on Friday. So
so far these individuals who picked up the wallet have
yet to turn it into authorities. To white sides, to
anybody in the area that would have seen this, well,

(26:45):
they were caught on video and it is up on
our Facebook page. So if you take a gander at
it and you happen to recognize the car, the people,
you know, this young man just wants his wallet back,
that's it, just wants his wallet back. Do the right thing,
Do the right thing, because when you do the right thing,

(27:08):
that karma comes back to you in spades.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
My question is why didn't the guy or the person
videotaping go out and stop him.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
It was a security camera, Oh it was.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I saw the camera that somebody who looked like the
camera moved and followed him.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So I mean to me, that would have been Well,
it might be a motion activated camera, not necessarily somebody's
monitoring it either way. To whoever did this, do the
right thing. Like I said, karma comes back at you,
and it can come back good or it could come
back bad. But go to our Facebook page and check
out the video. See if you recognize anybody you know.

(27:42):
The help would be appreciated. Listen seven forty six you're

Speaker 2 (29:53):
No, I take the money. Okay, so you think anyway, anyway,
so we'll talk about the more here as we get
closer to it. But anyway, speaking of celebrities, I couldn't
help but think of you, Otis. When I saw this.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Loretta Sweat, yeah, I didn't even know about it until
late Friday.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Afternoon, eighty seven years old.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, one of the one of only two actors to
appear in the mash Pilots and the final episode. Her
and her and Alan Alda were the only two original actors.
Jamie Farr uh huh, who played Clinger, was in a
lot of episodes, but originally was only cast as a
like a as an add on here and there. He

(30:36):
was only going to be a like once in a
while type character, like a poppin Yeah, and ended up
being you know, but Jamie Farr wasn't in every episode,
but Margaret and and Uh and Hwkeye were. So they're
one of two out of eleven seasons nominated ten times
for an Emmy.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
She was of the show.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
She was wow and then and then she she actually
won two. So it's just I mean that that's that's
a pretty good run right there. You know, it's she
was She was actually cast as Cagney Cagney and Lacy
is in the pilot episode of Cagney and Lacy, but
because of her contract with mash Uh, it prevented her

(31:21):
from continuing the role. So, you know, it's it's a
couple of things. You know, you look at that her
character was kind of it developed over the eleven years
of the show. She you know, she was a she
was very anti she was very military compared to. You know,

(31:44):
the main character is Henry Hawkeye and Trapper in the
first three years, and then you know, the whole thing
with the frank Burns. It kind of it kind of
words welcome out. So she ended up getting married and
and then Larry Lynnville Frank Burns left the show after
season five, and there was a lot of different things.
Then her character grew and became kind of like a

(32:05):
role model for women on TV.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Well, okay, correct me. I've only seen a few episodes
of mess Was before my time.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Okay, it's one every day.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, you know, so is a lot of new stuff. Boo.
Her character character developed from being the typical the I
don't want to say love interests, but like the woman
to look at, and the character developed into a more
impactful female television character.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, she was. She was originally cast The reason Hot
Lips hold of Hand was because she was having an
affair with frank Burns. But anytime a general or somebody
would come, you know, they were always infatuated with her,
and she would make her way to that person as well.
And then after she got married, you know, she struggled
with the divorce. She struggled with some things there and

(33:00):
then you know, there were as the character progressed, you know,
she became a leader on the show. Yeah, so and
and and like all the animals, I mean, they still
had they still had their you know, their animosity, They
still had their but it was it was you know,
and she always had something for Hawkeye.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well, I mean listen, her nickname was hot.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Lips early on. Yeah, it kind of changed. I mean
that was the A lot of the characters that came
from the movie they had like so like in the
first season, the mash the characters of Spiritchucker Jones and
Ugly John and a handcol a couple of others. They
you know, they they they ended up phasing them out

(33:44):
of the show.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Well, and then you know, we lost her this weekend.
But we actually had some huge birthdays this weekend celebrity wise,
Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood turned ninety five years old, Wow,
ninety five and Morgan Free eighty eight. Eighty eight years old.
Oh you heard.

Speaker 3 (34:05):

Samon otis here on news radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Z number one talk show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His
goal in form, entertain, and tick people off. The bloom
Daddy Experience on news radio eleven SEUVA starts.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Now eighth six on your Monday morning. The Blue Daddy Experience.
Sam and otis news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So there
is certain things that really touch my heart, and animals
are a big thing. And one thing that I cannot

(35:25):
stomach are those who abuse, hoard, torture, whatever title you
want to give it to animals, especially especially dogs, they
are man's best friend and they've earned that title for
a reason. So with that being said, there have been
a couple stories recently about animal abuse, hoarding, and torture,

(35:50):
and I want to preface this by saying, you know,
some of the things we may discuss coming up are
are are not easy topics, So just a heads up
to everybody listening. So with that being said, I want
to welcome in Humane Agent Julie Larish with Belmont County
hoof and POG.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
So let's let's let's hit the hard stuff first. Let's
kind of so recently in the town of Shady Sign,
there has been an investigation that you, of course spearheaded
of Chihuahua pug mixes in deplorable situations. I wanted to

(36:30):
ask you first, how do people, if they suspect something,
how do they get the ball rolling as a good
samaritan to help the animals.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Typically, what they're gonna do is they're either going to
call nine one one because we are connected to the
county and the local pds, or they call us directly
and they give us the information. Who is it, what
do they have, what's the conditions? What do you suspect
if if you don't know the person's name and address,

(37:02):
or some way for us to actually identify what house
we're supposed to be going.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
To, Okay, and it seems as if when we hit
the springtime that there tends to be more cases that happen.
Is that true? Is it or is it just me
imagining that?

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Say, it's definitely true, because people don't get out during
the wintertime, you know, it's cold, They don't take their
normal walks. So now all of a sudden, everybody's going outside,
everybody's seeing things. So this is when we get a
lot of the calls. And of course in the summertime
we get a huge amount of calls because the dog
doesn't have water outside, the dog doesn't have shade outside.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Wintertime, we get.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
Calls about dogs being in the cold, but not nearly
as many as probably that there are dogs out there in.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
The cold and the shady side case, deplorable conditions that
these animals were living in.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
It was.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
It was probably one of the worst when I talk
about cockroach infects infested. Whether there was bedbugs in there,
I don't know, but literally, we have to doust down
with a spray before we entered the home. Then when
we come out, we immediately have to douse down again.

(38:18):
I walked into this the officer had to break down
the door because nobody answered. We both took one step inside,
hit this piece of wood in front of the door,
and there must have been fifty cockroaches that went flying.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Were there people living in that?

Speaker 5 (38:34):
There are people living in that At that time, there
was four adult individuals living in that home. When we entered,
we knew there was a dog in the back. We
could hear him burke, but there was a kennel in
the front where the second dog that was reported to
be there was actually staying. But they found out we
were coming, so they removed one dog, but they didn't
remove the second dog. So we were able to get

(38:56):
the second dog, and then I located the first dog
and I was able to retrieve it also.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
And then from there it has to go through the
court system. Correct.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Correct. We can't adopt out anything.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
We can foster them, but we can't adopt them. It
has to go through the court process. The court process
is simply a probable cause hearing first within ten days
of me taking an animal, and that hearing is basically
for the person I took it from. They get to
go in and they get to tell their side of
the story of why I should not have taken the dog,
and then I tell my side of the story of

(39:28):
why I should have taken the dog or any animal
from the probable cause. Then it goes into arraignment if
their charge is filed, arraignment, preliminaries, and then your final hearings.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Now I read somewhere that one of the adults involved
in this particular case already has animal neglect charges.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Against them twice.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
It still has animals in twenty twenty one. He and
his girlfriend were busted at that time, and actually she
has two individuals that actually have charges against him. The
one only has at one time and she was off probation.
The other one was in twenty twenty one, and then
we busted him again in twenty twenty four, same situation,

(40:15):
deplorable conditions. The dog wasn't fed, it didn't have water
or unclean water. Then he is a five year old
and we just got that in June of last year
was his final hearing of they said no more dogs
for five years and not to live with anybody who
has a dog. Well, he's living with somebody with two dogs.

(40:39):
Then it was weird because as soon as we busted
him there we found out. He's living at another location
that we also had call outs on, and that was
our second one in Belair with deplorable conditions. So he
went from one house to the next house, him and
her one house to the next house, and both of
them had dogs.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
And the same thing is we seem to be seeing
a rise of this these types of actions, whether it's
the breeding situation or it's these types. Were they breeding
with these dogs? Was it a breeding the.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Situation Actually, the initial report came in there were two
adult dogs and three puppies that were in this house,
and they breed the dogs and they get rid of
the dogs. This is an entire family. That's actually because
we have another house that's stilling the same thing related
to these individuals. So people think they can get a

(41:34):
quick buck because let's just breed them and get them
out there. What they don't understand is every shelter in
this valley is full.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
We are over full.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
I know Belmont County is running and with eighty dogs,
we are running over We only have kennels for twenty one.
We've got twenty five or twenty seven right now. We've
got some in foster care. Wheeling is overrun. Marshall County
is overrun. We can't keep up. But yet everybody's out
there breeding because we can get rid of a puppy.

(42:03):
But guess what puppies grow up and them dogs.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Oh yeah, and now we don't want them because they're
not cute little puppies.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
How long have you been doing.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
This since twenty nineteen?

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Okay, have you noticed an increase in these investigations, more
people doing all of this?

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Yes, and I'll be honest with you, a lot of this.
We have a lot of abandoned dogs.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
We have people who move out of homes and just
leave the dog there in a kennel.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
I heard a story this weekend.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
Yes, they just leave them in a kennel and they
walk away. It's like, Okay, if I have a dog
that I can't take with me, I don't think i'd
be leaving it in a kennel for it to die.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
You know.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
I would try to get it somewhere or out where
it can get food. But no, they just leave them
in a kennel to die, helping Nobody will find them.
But this is an increase. This is really a lot
to do with COVID and what people don't understand we
had no low cost baan neuter in the valley. At
that point in time, we had the rising costs of everything. So,

(43:03):
like an average, if you're paying two hundred and fifty
dollars normally for a dog to b spade during COVID times,
you're paying six hundred and seven hundred dollars because your
anesthesia costs went up and everything else went up. So
everybody was getting these dogs to stay with them because
they weren't allowed to work.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Then now we're.

Speaker 5 (43:21):
All back to work, and we've got these dogs, and okay,
let's just get rid of them somewhere, let's abandon them,
let's put or we just go into living into these
conditions that we're not caring about the dogs anymore.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Well, and then along with the financial factor that a
lot of these cases involve, there are those with the
hoarding tendencies where they think they're doing something good. Now,
from your experience, would you consider that a mental illness?
Is that an excuse or is it what you think

(43:56):
legitimate that people honestly think they're doing something good.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
I think it's both. I honestly think it's both. It's
definitely a mental illness. The hoarding is actually a DSM
code for psychiatrists, whether it be hoarding animals, hoarding things,
hoarding usually when you've got the animals in there, if
they're hoarding animals, they're hoarding everything else that's there.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Okay, yeah, hold that thought. We're gonna jump to a
quick break. Can you hang around, yes with us a
little bit longer, because I want to get into the
bel Air and then also what you have coming up
we got to talk about too. It is eight fifteen
on your Monday morning. Again, we're talking to Julie Larish
with Belmont County Hoof and Posh. She's gonna stick with us,
and I hope you do too. The bloom Daddy Experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back. It's

(44:50):
eight twenty on your Monday morning. The bloom Daddy Experience,
samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. Continuing the conversation
with Julie Larish with Belmont County Hoof and Paw. Of course,
humane Agent. I want to talk about the bel Air story. Now.
I don't want to get graphic because it's it's it's vile.

(45:12):
I can't even think of the right adjectives to describe
what happened there, But just briefly what happened. Two dogs
were allegedly brutally beaten and killed in the area around
the docks in bel Air. One was a pumpy. Another
dog was thrown into the river in a bag. You,
of course, of course, were part of that.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Correct, Yes, Belair PDI had called in to have us
come down to retrieve the first one was the dog
in the bag. It's hard to say how long a
dog has been in that bag in the river, because
it does decompose with water and everything.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
It swells up all kinds of really grows things.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Two weeks later we get a call, well actually I
get a Facebook post that somebody could hear a puppy
screaming and they couldn't get to it.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
And then the next.

Speaker 5 (46:05):
By the time the officers, because they can respond, they're
in Blair. I'm out at least twenty minutes, a half
hour out of Blair. By the time I get there,
the police officers have already retrieved it and it was deceased,
and it looks that it appeared to be that it
had either been hit in the head or stomped on
and it's just a cute little puppy. It's just so

(46:26):
sad because it's it's like.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Who would do this?

Speaker 5 (46:29):
Now, since then, we've had other people come forward and said, hey,
you know, about a half a year ago, there was
a goat down there with its throat slit, and there's
this down there. So anybody who goes to the Blair
Docks or frequents it or hangs out there, you see
things like that, make sure PD knows, make sure I know,
because there's something going on down there that we really

(46:53):
need to put this sick person behind bars.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
And are you thinking it's the one person? Is it
a group?

Speaker 4 (47:00):
We don't different, We don't know for sure.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
It could be a group of kids that think they're
funny and I think, you know, I think they're funny
or cool, or they've seen it somewhere. When I when
I think of a group of kids, think of doing
that because they're there. One person did say there was
a bunch of kids down there that day. When I
think about kids, so they've seen it somewhere, or there's
something in their life that's causing them to have anger

(47:23):
enough that they would mutilate a dog or uh, you know,
our serial killers start out killing dogs. You know, you
know that that's the thing you got to think about.
This is something it's it's not a trivial matter, no
matter how you look at it, it's not a trivial matter.
Because if it is a young person or even a
young adult or even an older adult that manifests into Okay,

(47:45):
I did it to the dogs. Now let's try human.
You know, let's see what we can do to a human.
Let's see how you know, it's just really a sick dog.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
If if repeat things are happening, happening in that particular area.
Can the bel Air Police put up some sort of camera,
just as like a basic trail cam.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
Yes, yes, yes, and we are we are working on
that now to come up with some kind of surveillance
down there. The water department does have a camera down there,
but it's not shining where we needed to shade it.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Yeah, so we we are.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
We've got our organization has some cell phone cameras that
actually work like a cell phone off. As long as
we can get a signal, then we can go ahead
and put those cameras up. There's some other agencies that
have come forward and is willing to help put wonderful
yeah things up there that we can at least try
to locate whoever's doing this and figure out what's going

(48:41):
on in that person's life.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
So for the for anybody in the bel Air area
that has seen something, heard people talk, reach out to
your organization, reach out to the bell Air please reach
out to us and I'll connect you. Yeah, because this
is this is awful.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
I will I will say Belair PD are a great
team to work with. We're down there often and every
one of those guys down there are animal lovers, every
one of them. You know, when they see something, they're like, hey, Julie,
you know.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
Check this out for us. Hey.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
And I love working with all the law enforcement agencies
in the valley because I don't think I've come across
one yet that.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Doesn't not care, right, and you know they all care. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Well and along with that, just real quick, because I
want to get into this. Do do punishments need to
be increased? Does it need to does there need to
be jail time? How do we curtail this mentality that
it's okay to do this stuff, whether it's hoarding the animals,
whether it's overbreeding, whether it's abuse, is the court system

(49:49):
not strict enough.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
I don't think it's the court system. I think it's
the state laws. The state law.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
It's it's sad because the state laws, let's provide food, water, Okay,
that's fine. And the living condition basically comes upon what's
a bad living condition. What my bad living condition is
versus what the state's bad living conditions is two different,
you know, scenarios. So I think that state laws need

(50:16):
to be more defined exactly what it's supposed to be.
The other thing is the court, I will say, and
I have actually talked to other people in other counties.
I just had a call from Proctor, West Virginia. I
had one in Jefferson County. I've heard, I've had some
over here on the West Virginia side. They're like, hey,
we wish that our counties would do what your county

(50:39):
is doing. Because Harrison County, for instance, they prosecute very
very few animal cases. Where are prosecutors in Belmont County?

Speaker 4 (50:50):
They're on it. They are a great there are another
great bunch to work with.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
They know the laws, they define everything, and they do
go after these guys. We've sent people to prison in
Belmont County, which is something we haven't heard of for
a long long time. We've got one in there right
now for three years.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
So they treat it just as they don't move it
to the bottom of the stack. They make it just
as important.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Yes, it is very important to the prosecutors in Belmont
County that you know, again, animal abuse goes to child abuse,
goes to adult abuse, or it's all happening at one time.
So the prosecutors know that, and they recognize that.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
And real quick, we have about a minute left. I'm
so sorry. I want to let everybody know. Listen, you
do fundraisers. That's how you keep this happening. Donations, fundraising
all of these efforts for Belmont County Hoof and PAW.
Coming up on June fourteenth, next Saturday, you're going to
have Raised the Wolf. Yes, local bands happening at the

five dollars, local bands, food games, prizes. I'll post this
on our Facebook page. We take it's still available.

Speaker 5 (51:56):

And you know, I can't thank you enough. The animals
can't thank you enough, and listen, keep up the good work.

(52:29):
Anybody who has any information on what happened in bel
Air again, if you just want to reach out to us,
and honestly, I will make sure Julie gets all the information.
Thank you so wonderful, Julie, thank you so much for

(53:04):

stories out of Belmont County. Can't can't stress enough how
what is happening at the bel air Boat docks. Its
people need to be caught, and I will I will
leave it at that. I will not say what needs

(53:25):
to be done. I will just say they need to
be caught and well thrown in prison as far as
I'm concerned. We got a message on our text line.

Then we'll have a chance for you to win coming

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Yes, very shortly. Hint hint. We got a message I
was gonna say, was that you were Pongo got a
message on our text line, says mash Cast correction, Gary
Berghoff bergoff Am, I saying that wrong. Okay, Radar was

(54:24):
the only Mash Movie actor that was also on the
TV show.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Yeah, but I didn't even say that.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Donald Sutherland played Hawkeye and Sally Kellerman played Margaret. Hulahan
in the movie. So I don't know what what it.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Needs to be corrected because all I said was that
Alan Alda and Loretta Swett were the only two actors
that were in the pilot in the season.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Finale, maybe they're confusing the movie.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
I didn't say anything, okay, But all I did say
was that some of the characters transitioned from the movie
and then after season one, like I said, Ugly John
Spiritchucker Jones. There was a couple other ones that were
in season one that were from the movie but then
didn't make it to season two as regular characters.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
All the characters just sort of I.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Guess they went home, they got discharged.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Yeah, yeah, died off is not the right term for
war TV show.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
I mean, the show itself lasted three times longer than
the Korean War did almost four times all dame. Really
the war only lasted three years, and that was.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
A good final episode two.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
It was the most watched episode in TV history.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
No, I mean just the way it was done. Like
I've always Cheers is my favorite final episode, but the
way they did that one was.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Was I honestly thought Cheers would have had a shot
to break the record. And when it didn't, I was
really surprised. But I mean, MASH was the finales were
at different times. They were about ten years apart, and
TV changed in that ten years. You had more cable,
you had ESPN and things like that on the air.

(56:00):
When when Mash's finale was on, those were just fledgling.
You know, ESPN only been around for three years and
it really wasn't You didn't have as many options that
you did ten years later with Cheers or eleven years.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Later with Cheers and look what we have now.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Yeah, you can watch all those shows. I mean, like
like the early episodes of MASH seasons one, three, three
of the best and then the next best are four
and five, and then it kind of like it goes
from a comedy to a drama edy.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Well, most shows kind of do that, where it's like
first season is either really good or really bad, and
then the second season usually kind of draws.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
Well, they treated the first couple of seasons as a comedy. Now,
there were some there were some dramatic episodes in those
first three years, you know, where like a Hawkeye's childhood
friend comes and he's writing a book and then he's
talking about it and he ends up dying in the show,
gets shot and dies in the show, and you know,
so there was a little bit of of drama there.

(57:03):
But you know, some of the people that that ended
up on MASH, like for for single episodes, Alex Carris
who ended up going on to I think mister Belvidere
was it or maybe Webster, I can't remember which one
it was, John Ritter, uh Ronnie Ron Howard, Andrew Dice
Clay was in an episode of Mass YEP, Patrick Swayze,

(57:29):
Laurence Fishburne, George went and so many. It's funny that
you like, if I watched TV shows from the seventies,
like I watched I'll watch, maybe I'll make be watching
the Rockford Files and I'll look and I'll go, well,
that person played on MASH. Shelley Long from Cheers was

(57:51):
on there. So I mean a lot of a lot
of Joan van Arc was in an episode Dynasty, right,
one of those it wasn't Dallas, it was the other
one it was it was It was not Dallas.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yes, I was good in there, yeah there, but.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Yeah, I mean Terry garr it was another one she
was on. She was on Last Day, was in the
movie mister mom. I just I mean so many like
one episode guest appearances.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Well, that's the same thing with I'll see people Law
and Order s v U. People have been in that show.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Yeah, same thing where it's like, oh yeah, I've seen
that face before. It's like, oh, I were in that.
That's what that's where I am. dB comes in.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Oh yeah, And I do that all the time. I
do that. I'm like, they were in Masha, and I
look to see who they were, and sure enough. But
I've seen every episode of Match like a hundred times
when we were When we were at w v U,
this is you know, you really weren't allowed to have
a TV in your room because of anything electronic. You
really weren't supposed to have in your room. In nineteen

(59:03):
eighty five. You were allowed to have a computer if
you had one, but I mean it was the size
of a house. But we had I had a boom
box that had a four inch black and white TV
in it. And if where I was in the dorm,
if you positioned the antenor right, we could watch. We
could get Channel W A TAE out of Pittsburgh, Okay,

(59:25):
and at four four or five o'clock. They would run
MASH at five and five thirty before the news, and
we would sit there and watch it and play hearts,
and four of us sitting around this four inch TV
watching MASH.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Every day you watched MASH. I sat around a TV
with girls watching Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Dark.
So that's there. There's the generational gap that we have.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
Those those shows would have never made it.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
And then oh, Jerry Springer never made it. That was
always that was such a terrible show. Oh God, talk
about uh.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
But we watched each.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Dish of humanity that was Jerry Springer. I want to
let everybody know, hopefully there's no uh bosses out there listening.

close to us here, there are some Pennsylvania residents that

(01:01:07):
are being urged to be on the lookout for men
shooting at women with BB guns. Al Wilkinsburg Mayor Dante
Comens says young males are targeting women by shooting at
them with stun guns, BB guns and air pistols. The
mayor says the behavior is reckless, that's an understatement, and

(01:01:29):
asks anyone who witnesses this type of behavior to call
nine one. One who shoots people with BB guns.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
He knows, I mean, unless you're shooting your buddies. I
mean we used to do that as kids. We used
to run around and shoot each other.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Okay, well that's stupid. But I mean that's boys being stupid.
Let's be honest. But to go after women with stun
guns and BB guns. Yeah that hello, parents, that's that's
on a good sign that if your boys.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Are doing that, it was a precursor to paintball for us.
God boys, you'd wear them goggles so you wouldn't get shot.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay. Your idea of fun is definitely
different than young girls.

Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Oh Man

(01:03:11):
is a fifty one The Bloembetty Experience Otis and Sam
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So we are we are
vacation season, right. You know, people drive, people fly, whatever
you do for vacation. This is interesting. So there was
a British Airways cabin crew member, so cabin crew member Otis,

(01:03:35):
that would be the the flight attendants, right, was discovered
dancing naked, Yes you heard that correctly, dancing naked in
a business class toilet room during a flight from San
Francisco to London. The crew member, a forty one year

(01:03:57):
old man, was supposed to be serving meals to passers.
He was serving the dance moves instead. I threw that
in there. I thought that was funny. After the airbus
was searched, the in flight crew manager allegedly found the
crew member naked and dancing in the club world cabin
toilet staff reportedly dressed their colleague in a spare first

(01:04:19):
class passengers pajamas and buckled him into a first class
seat for the remainder of the ten and a half
hour flight. The police were called by the cabin crew
regarding concerns for the man's welfare. When the plane landed,
the crew member was taken to the hospital for treatment
before being arrested on suspicion of being unfit for duty.

(01:04:44):
The investigation continues, Yeah, there's there's finding somebody naked on
the airplane. There's also f oh wait a second, it's
your coworker, like somebody you've worked with for there's just

(01:05:06):
certain Yeah, you don't want to see naked. I mean,
you just you just don't. Along with let's let's stick
with the airlines a little bit. Here there was a
two year old boy who is safe and everybody's probably
thought about doing it, doing this, Let's be honest. He
decided to take a ride on the conveyor belt that

(01:05:28):
takes your luggage around. You stand there and you watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
You watch it at the check encounter. Not not the
it's not the off one. It's the one that goes
where they're going to put you on the plane and
they chuate your stuff and everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
O Oh, it's not the pickup belt. Oh okay, I
was looking at this wrong. Uh. The toddler's mother was
at the Jet Blue counter at the Newark Airport to
rebook a flight when the boys stepped onto a conveyor
belt that moves the check bags throughout the terminal and
was whisked away behind the wall. Portethorio police officers jumped

(01:06:01):
onto the belt and caught up with the child as
he was about to go through the luggage X ray machine. Oh,
I just saw it conveyor about and I just went
to the luggage pickup.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
That's what I was. It was going on the plane belt.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Okay, okay, And this one I haven't didn't tell you
about this one. Notice, So we do lots of things
to try and look young, keep our youth up right. Well,
there is a new trend that celebrities are jumping on,
which is an anti aging trend, of course, salmon sperm facials.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
I'm out.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
The treatment caught spotlight when Jennifer Aniston shared that she
tried this in twenty twenty three. Kim Kardashian endorses it
and it has now propelled to popularity. No, nope, it
says unlike botowks, which temporary temporarily paralyzes muscles, which then

(01:07:08):
smooths the wrinkles. This injection promotes natural skin repair on
the cellular level. The signs suggests this treatment is more
than just a celebrity beauty craze.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Hope it wasn't Tim Salmon.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Is that a real person used to.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Play as a baseball player, play for the Californian Angels, Anaheim,
whatever you want to call them.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
That's a lot of sam. I can't think that salmon
has that much.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
They swim upstream for a reason, the many little swimmers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Man, I'll tell you what. Humans will do anything, anything
to keep up, keep up their youth. But my question is, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Who sits there and goes, let's try this. Let's see
if this is an anti aging. Let's try some salmon sperm.
Excuse me, gee, let's try some cow dung. Let's try yeah,
I mean like ground up beetlejuice. I mean, who knows?

(01:08:13):
I mean, who thinks of this stuff?

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Are they sitting sitting at the outback having salmon for dinner?

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
And says, hey, honey, I'm working on this experiment and
I wanted to know if you'd be willing to see
if we can maybe do a little anti aging. I've
got some salmon sperm I want to inject in your face.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Oh, there's a joke there, but I'm not going to
I'm not going to say it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):

that can be said there. Yeah, and we'll just leave
it at that. You can use your own imagination, insert
your own joke there. Yes, because we would like to
