Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's seven oh six on news radio eleven seventy Wilde
Derea Today. Maybe the paper story is they have failed
their net almost by Poltman.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Uniform head to toe brown.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
The helmet is brown matte, the rest of the uniform brown.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I like it. I like it.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
They're gonna wear it September twenty first, October nineteenth, and
December seventh, three times against Green Bay, Miami and Tennessee.
What makes this story even better, though, is the sponsor
Dude Wipes. These are flushable wipes supposed to be used
after toilet paper to give men that fresh feel. But
I'm sure men probably use them as toilet paper. So

(01:03):
let's think about this for a second. You got the
Browns organization, which is usually described as a pile of
you know what. You've got a team that plays like
a pile of you know what. You've got new alternate
uniforms that look like mister Hankey, the Christmas poof from
South Park sponsored by Dude Wipes. Spratty go On, the
co founder in CMO of Dude Wipes, Ryan Meaghan. Right now, Ryan,

(01:28):
from your perspective, this is a match made in heaven.
This is the best pairing since Starski and Hutch. I mean,
how did this happen? How did this marriage happen?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, you know, we're in year three of the partnership,
and Browns of you know, been great partners of ours,
and you know year one was the white uniforms that
we were presenting partner for and obviously a lot of
synergies between the name of the team and what the
application for our product was. So when they came in
bound to us, to their credit a few years back,

(02:02):
we uh, we cannot say no. And like I said,
they've been great partners and willing to have great fun
with us, and we knew this year going in with
the uh with the brown uniforms from head to toe, it.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Was, like you said, a match made in heaven. So
we're we can be more thrilled.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
What's a match made in heaven for you? But if
I'm looking at it, from the Browns perspective. If I'm
a executive with the Browns that thank god I'm not,
and all of a sudden, we in Vaili's all brown uniforms.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
We won three games last year.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
This whole proposed move to Brook Park, you got everybody
calling the Browns organization and everything else a big bag
of you know what, I'm not so sure. I mean,
I'm like, hey, Ryan with Dude Wipes, we love you.
Let's have your sponsored something else, but maybe not a
uniform that looks like a turn you see them?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah again, I think you uh, I think you have
to give them credit for not taking themselves too seriously
and having a little with it.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I think the fans appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I know we certainly appreciate it, like you said, but
it's it's all credit to them for just leaning in
and having a little bit of fun and not taking
things too seriously.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I guess that's how we're gonna We're gonna have
to look at it. I mean when I first saw
this today, you know, I sat there and I thought,
you know what, this Brown's new helmet, the uniform sponsored
by Dude Wipes. I used to defend the front office
when people said they were a bunch of blank wipes.
But that ship has now sailed, So here we are. Hey, look,

(03:31):
you were on Shark Tank. You and your partner was
it back in? Your company's been around since what twenty sixteen?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Company's actually been around since twenty twelve. We were on
Shark Tank in twenty fifteen. So okay, your anniversary for us?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, so how have things grown since that that moment
on Shark Tank?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, things have grown tremendously for us. We've actually cut
of bolted ourselves into being in one of the i
think top five performing in revenue sales of all time
on the show.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
And you know, we went from me and a little guy.
I think we did about one million in revenue.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
The year we pitched in twenty fifteen, and now we're
doing hundreds of millions in sales. You know, projected to
do around three hundred million this year. So things have
grown tremendously. And it's because of stunts like this that
we did today that we've you know, become.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
Known to dude to spark.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Some some mischief and you know, get people talking, and
you know, we're we're trending on Twitter right now with
this move, and it's going nuts all over sports media.
So this is this is our bread and butter and
what we love to do and try to make a
little noise.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Talking to Ryan Meagan right now, co founder CMO of
Dude Wipes, we're gonna play a little clip from Shark
Tank Move.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Can you cue that up and roll it please?

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Jarks, are you still wiping the old fashioned way with
just toilet paper? If so, you're a chump and your
ass probably hates you for it, but hey, what's a
dude to do?

Speaker 5 (05:05):
You could try some baby wipes.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
But we're not babies, we're dudes.

Speaker 9 (05:09):
So we created the award winning dude Wipes, the very
first wipes for well dudes. They're flushable, boundegradable, and soothing
aloe and he answered every dude's prayers.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
So, Sharks, which one of you are ready to joining
the crusade of saving the world one dude at a time.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
So Ryan, I just envision you and your buddy sitting
around one day, maybe drinking a couple of cold ones,
maybe chafed.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh we oh not.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
It was It was over lots of lots of Miller
Lites and burritos.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Is where we uh, where we where we spawned this
idea out of uh.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
In our apartment at Wrigleyville back in the day.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
And uh yeah, that's the classic pitch right there. And
we're still on that, you know, crusade of education that
you know, Dude Wipes gets the crap that toilet paper
leaves behind. Everyone thinks they're clean, which is dry, scratchy
TP but it just doesn't get the job done. So
we're educating millions of Americans every year on switching over
to this better, more pressure, cleaner routine.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Well, I've got one more for you before I let
you go. Talking about the Browns moving to brook Park,
they're gonna build a dome. How about Dude Wipe's dome?
Is that going to be in the future?

Speaker 6 (06:20):
You talking about a sponsor of the stadium?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes, Dude Wipe's dome.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I mean, if they build this new dome in brook Park,
which it's gonna happen, What do you think Dude Wipe's
Dome actually has a ring to it?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Never say never.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
We love the sports atmosphere and you know, don't cone
us up.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
All right, Hey, listen, Ryan, thanks for sharing your story.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Best of luck to you and thanks for for spending
some time with me here on the show.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
Otis, Do you think I was a perfect sponsor for
the Browns?

Speaker 10 (06:54):
Do you think I have some thoughts on this?

Speaker 8 (06:57):
No, I don't think you have any.

Speaker 10 (06:59):
No, you know, I have an entire list sitting in
front of me.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
There are so many jokes here, but in reality, the
Browns have been in the toilet for so long. The
dude wife says, a perfect sponsor.

Speaker 10 (07:16):
All right, we'll leave it at that.

Speaker 8 (07:18):
No, I mean you have to admit that's true. I mean,
other than other than what a couple of runs in
the AFC Championship Game where they lost to Denver.

Speaker 10 (07:30):
And that was in the eighties.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
But that that's the closest they've come. That's that's their
sniff to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 10 (07:36):
Well yeah, but recently they had some successful seasons under
Baker Mayfield and then they they didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Well, they went to the playoffs, but that's okay, so
you hit one and done.

Speaker 10 (07:47):
No, they went two years in the row, back to.

Speaker 8 (07:50):
Back, but they didn't go to the championship game. They
didn't sniff, but they were right there. They didn't sniff it.

Speaker 10 (07:54):
No, but they were there for us. That's success.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
I mean that's like saying, oh, well, hey, you know what,
the Pirates are one of the greatest franchises in baseball history.

Speaker 10 (08:04):
The same thing you can say about the Mountaineers too.

Speaker 11 (08:06):
Well.

Speaker 8 (08:07):
No, the most successful football basketball program that never win
a championship.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
Yeah, okay, but againsion.

Speaker 8 (08:15):
Most Division One wins in both basketball and football with
no championship.

Speaker 10 (08:19):
But I do have some thoughts on this, I really do.

Speaker 8 (08:22):
Yeah, we're gonna do that one in West Virginias thinks,
I mean, we just get Yeah. The one year that
they had to shot rich Rod blew it.

Speaker 10 (08:31):
Yeah he did that was and they brought him back.

Speaker 8 (08:34):
Well, here's the thing. Two thousand and seven with the
Mountaineers might have been might have been one of the
best college football teams to play overall. I mean they
were exciting with Pat White, Tevon Austin, Steve Slayton, I mean,
Owen Schmidt, that that group right there, that was an
exciting team to watch, A very successful team. A couple

(08:56):
of miss field goals, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (08:59):
Didn't they just choke?

Speaker 8 (09:00):
Basically yeah? Yeah, that was.

Speaker 10 (09:03):
Under rich Rod right, Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
And you know, I mean, and one of the things
that I can't stand is, you know, when people and
fans blame a college kid for, you know, certain things.
They blamed rich Rod a lot for that game because
he didn't open up the offense for whatever reason. To
get very conservative. But like Pat McAfee missed like three
field goals that game.

Speaker 10 (09:26):
Or four field goals, so he's not hurting though.

Speaker 8 (09:30):
He's not hurting. But at the time, oh yeah, it
was horrible because they I mean, they were death threats,
there were I mean, there was all kind of stupid stuff.

Speaker 10 (09:37):
Yeah. Well, fans are stupid.

Speaker 8 (09:39):
Most of them. Fans not most of them, A lot
of them go.

Speaker 10 (09:42):
To good amount of them are Fans are stupid, and
so are front offices are so are we. I'm going
to give you my thoughts on the big announcement yesterday
from the Browns. Again, Boy do I have some thoughts.
Seven sixteen, you're listening to the bloom Ditty Experience Sam
and Otis News Radio, he Love and seventy WWVA. If

(10:10):
we are back seven to twenty one, The bloom Daddy
Experienced samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Before we
get into my rant, I'll call it what it's going
to be. Today's Thursday. So it's your chance to win
half gallon Kirk's ice cream. Text us seven zero four
seven zero, name and phone number.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
Well, I forget about my ice cream yesterday. I still
get it out in the.

Speaker 10 (10:32):
Freezer, all there, Just kicking off your morning with a
nice little reminder.

Speaker 8 (10:37):
Yeah, but I don't think I'm gonna eat it before
I go to the gym.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
It kind of defeats the purpose. Yeah, but again, seven
zero four seven zero. That is our text line. Start
the message off with bloom Daddy, and we just need
your name and phone number, and that is your registration
for your chance to win half gallon of Kirk's ice cream,
your choice of flavor, your choice. So also with the
text line or social media, or you can call us

(11:02):
one eight hundred and sixty two for eleven seventy I'm open.

Speaker 8 (11:05):
How about that? The phones we can actually call people
and people can call us.

Speaker 10 (11:11):
Imagine magic of technology. I'm opening it up. Bring on
the jokes, Bring on the jokes.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
Keep them clean.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
Well, yes, use a dude wipe to keep it clean,
but a bunch no, Okay, fine, I guess you didn't
find that funny. All right. So yesterday, yesterday, sitting there
minding my own business, doing some work, I get an
alert on my phone because of course I'm set up

(11:42):
as a Browns fan through different you know, the Brown's
official app, different things that whenever anything happens, I get
an alert and I go to the Facebook and there's
this still photo Miles Garrett in an all brown head
to toe uniform. But then I catch in the corner

(12:05):
the logo for Dude Wipes, and I thought, Okay, this
is a joke. Honest to god, I thought this was
a joke because really, really, really, the marketing department of
that NFL professional franchise cannot be this stupid. They cannot

(12:29):
be this stupid. They are they are. They should all
be fired. They should all be fired. And I'm saying
this from a Browns fan perspective. I have lived and
breathed this football team since the day I was born.
I was born on a Sunday and the Browns game

(12:50):
was on in the room, lived and breathed it this team.
This is the dumbest decision, and the gentleman who created
Dude Whites, Dude Wipes, that bloom Daddy just interviewed called
it what it is. It's a stunt. It is a

(13:10):
marketing stunt. But here's the difference, Dude Wipes. They're getting
all of this great coverage. As he mentioned, you know
on on X you know it's it's it's it's viral.
Everybody's talking about it. All the national sports programs are

(13:32):
talking about it. It's all over social media. But it's
all about dude wipes. This is all great coverage for them,
for us, for the Browns, for the Browns fans. Once again,
once again, we are the absolute dumpster fire, laughing stock

(13:52):
of professional sports. It's mind boggling.

Speaker 11 (14:01):
To me.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
That the ownership, the leadership, the head office of this
football team did not stop and take a breath and say,
you know what, we better think about this, We better
stop and take it. Just reconsider they've been a good partner,

(14:25):
as they mentioned that they've sponsored other things, other uniform releases. Okay, fine,
this in particular, give them something else, offer them some
different sponsorship. As a fan, I am tired of the

(14:47):
joke always being on us. Again, Dude Wipes, they're loving this.
This isn't at their expense, this isn't our expense, and
I'm not just talking about the ownership and the team
in the front office. This is at the fans expense.
You know, we're a proud group of football fans. Depending

(15:13):
on who you ask, sometimes we are considered the most
die hard football fans out there because we have stuck
through so many horrible things that has happened to this team.
I mean, there's a joke out there called taking the
Browns to the Super Bowl. Might as well have put

(15:36):
that is the caption in that graphic yesterday. We are
a joke of a franchise. We have been broke a
joke of a franchise for forty years. So now not
only what we put on the field nine times out

(15:57):
of ten is a joke. Now we're letting other companies
come in and make us a joke. And when it
comes down to it, the people that it hurts, and
I may sound dramatic, I know it's a football team,
but it really makes me angry. It makes me so
angry because it's the fans. It is the fans that

(16:19):
pay the ticket price, that buy the jerseys, that drink
the beer at the football games, eat the pretzels. Whatever.
Were the ones year after year who continue to spend
money because of the faith, the desire to see this
team succeed. And literally, yesterday, literally the ownership, the marketing department,

(16:43):
the head office, everybody let this company or as a
deciding factor, a group decided that it's okay to take
a dump on us once again, once again, all because

(17:06):
of money, all because of money. I've had it. I
am so tired of this. I am so tired of this.
We are the joke, and we deserve to be the joke.
And yesterday we handed it to everybody on a silver platter,
just for a stunt. And he said in himself.

Speaker 8 (17:26):
I think you're blinded out of proportion.

Speaker 10 (17:28):
No, no, yes, you are no not. I've dealt with
this my entire life. This is just m m all right,
I'm done. I'm done. Seven twenty eight. Don't forget ice cream.
Kirks textas seven zero four seven zero name in phone
number started off with the bloom Daddy. We're gonna jump
to a quick break. You're listening to the bloom Daddy experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'm gonna shift gears from the guardians in mister Hanky
and the Browns alternate uniforms to politics for a second,
because we're going to get into politics left.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Right center for four thirty five.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
You know, I'm at the ballpark President Trump signing that
massive deal with Japan that includes reciprocal tariffs of fifteen
percent on the country's exports of the US auto duties
reportedly being lowered to that level as well. So Japan
would invest five hundred and fifty billion in the United
States and the US would receive ninety percent of the profits.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So Japan's could open.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Their country to trade including cars and trucks, rice, certain
other agricultural products, and Trump is saying this would create
hundreds of thousands of jobs. I want to bring on
Steve Cotton, financial strategists who's had a multifaceted career in investments, business, government,
and public affairs for nearly fifty years. Steve, thanks for
being on the show. And what does this trade deal

(18:44):
mean to the American consumer?

Speaker 11 (18:47):
Well, as everybody knows, quote, the devil is in the details,
and we don't have all of the details yet. But
let me just give you one example. The trade deal
that they have just agreed to agrees to to remove
tariffs on American rice into Japan. Now, interestingly, Japan has
a shortage of rice, but would you believe that they

(19:09):
have had a seven hundred percent tariff on American rice
in the past. This eliminates that tariff, and that's going
to be good for American rice farmers, especially in the South.
And you know, the lowering of tariffs generally is going
to is going to really benefit American companies potentially. But

(19:32):
let me caution everybody, there's a second piece of this.
There are non tariff barriers to entry. You know, all
the rules and regulations that companies load up to try
to creatively keep American products out and avoid competition. They've
got to address that side too. And the Japanese and India,

(19:52):
these are some of the countries that have been the
most sophisticated at levying those non tariff barriers. So it's
not just about to tariffs. It's also about lowering the
other barriers to entry that are more complex and sometimes
more nefarious.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Well, Steve Trump's been criticized heavily for his boorn a
China Shop negotiation style, but I think it's working. I mean,
because this deal with Japan comes two weeks after Trump
announced the US would impose twenty five percent tariffs on
imports from Japan.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
So is his style working.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Well.

Speaker 11 (20:26):
It might upset people in certain salons here and overseas,
but he is a master chess player, He's a master negotiator,
and although his style is not my style, I do
believe it's going to work on balance.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Now.

Speaker 11 (20:42):
You know, these trading partners have had it fat at
our expense for forty years, and I think it probably
took a more bombastic approach to wake them up and
to signal to them it's time for them to seriously
negotiate a more fair trade agreement. You can't make the
case that what he is doing is negative or is destructive,

(21:07):
and you can only make the case that it's long overdue,
and he's the first president to tackle it. He has
a bombastic New York style and negotiating and I know
it works well in New York. I don't know how
it works in Dixie, but it's working in these foreign capitals.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
I'm talking to Steve Cotton right now. Financial strategist, policy expert.
Steve help develop public policy in the US Congress, work
directly with the White House, executive brands, agencies, and public
policy groups. I think the obvious next question Steve is,
is a deal with the European Union.

Speaker 11 (21:38):
Next, Well, they are lining up too. They want to
conclude that both Washington and the foreign capitals, and they
want to conclude something quickly. The devil again is in
the details. And when you're dealing with one country, it's
much simpler, believe it or not, than when you're dealing
with a coalition like the EU. Every European country has

(22:03):
different economic and agricultural constituencies that they've been protecting. They've
got very radically different politics internally, and they've got different
levels of courageous or non courageous political leadership. So I
think the EU nut and that negotiation is going to
be actually more complex and more problematic, and ironically it

(22:26):
may be simpler to deal with China than the EU.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Steve always appreciates your time. Thanks so much, glad to
be with you.

Speaker 10 (22:34):
Thank you all right, so Otis, I am not going
to pretend to be an international tariff trade expert whatsoever.
I'm not even going to not even going to go there.
What I am going to say to this is, first
of all, this is another example that this president is

(22:58):
putting America first. That's been the agenda since the beginning.
It is shocking to a lot of the established politicians that,
you know, there's a thought, let's put America first, Let's
put the profits of America first. Let's not cowtow to
everybody else. We call ourselves the leader, let's lead, and

(23:19):
that's what this president is doing. But again, it's shocking
to a lot of people that you actually do what
you say you're going to do. We haven't seen that
out of a politician in how many years. But when
it comes to these these tariffs, these deals that he
is making, there are a lot of folks that are

(23:40):
referring to him as a bull in a china shop,
that he's aggressive. Well, yeah, he's a businessman. His mind
thinks differently than politicians that we're used to it. Just

(24:01):
and again, his agenda is he cares about the United States.
He cares about putting America first. Our farmers, our companies
are citizens. That's what he cares about. If you go
they are now calling it the Trump effect, if you

(24:23):
go and look at the amount of investments, whether it's
companies coming back to the United States that have left,
or it is other countries bringing companies into the United States.
The amount of money of investments that are coming, it's out.

(24:47):
It's it's amazing. One point four trillion, one point two trillion,
six hundred billion, five hundred billion, five hundred billion billion.
I'm saying trillion in billion. With the these numbers of
investments coming into the United States, this president is done

(25:12):
selling out this country for himself. He has done cow
telling to others. It is about the United States. It
is about our companies being profitable. It is about our
citizens having jobs, financially stable, family raising jobs. And that's

(25:38):
what we're seeing. But the criticism, he's a bull in
a china shop. They can't find anything else to criticize
him about, and they won't talk about it. Other media outlets,
of course, they will not talk about it. If there's
anything positive, any accomplishments, it will not be spoken about.
What is wrong with having a business minded president. That's

(26:03):
one thing about him that has made him so unique
and has brought a different feel to the White House.
And we're finally we're seeing the results of that. We
are we're seeing the results of that. But those that
want to criticize, you know, he's bull in a China shop.

(26:25):
You know, he's too aggressive, he's too you know, he's
used to boardrooms. He's treating the White House like a boardroom.
And we're seeing, we're seeing, we're seeing the results. People
are tired of the United States being taken advantage of.
We are a giving country. We are a giving country.

(26:50):
We support those that can't support themselves, but at a
certain point in time, we cannot take care of everybody
if we don't take care of ourselves first. It's kind
of like the analogy with the an airplane crash. They say,

(27:10):
anything drop that drops down, you put it on your
face first before you save somebody else. That's what he's
doing with our country. It's putting us first, putting America first.
It's refreshing, isn't it. I think it is. I think
it's refreshing. Seven forty five just a reminder your chance
to win half gallon of ice cream from Kirks. All
you have to do is text us seven zero four

(27:32):
seven zero, start the message off with the bloom Daddy.
We just needs your name and your phone number, and
there you have it. That's your registration. Who doesn't want
a half gallon of Kirk's ice cream?

Speaker 8 (27:41):
I mean, really, I don't want a half gallon. I
want a gallop.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
And key lime. I would guess, baby, there you go,
There you go. We're gonna jump to a quick break.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience. Salmon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back seven fifty one with Glem
Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So,

(28:12):
if you missed the earlier in the show, we of
course talked about the Browns uniform launch yesterday. I kind
of went down a rabbit hole, not real happy, but
I put it out there. If anybody had a joke,
a comment they'd like to make, bring it on. One
eight hundred and sixty two for eleven seventy is our
phone text line seven zero four seven zero. Bring this

(28:36):
up again, because we did get a text, says Otis.
I wonder if the Browns during a game with the
new uniforms get penalized for piling on, will the refs
throw a giant dude wipe just asking me a stealer fan.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
That's nice. I like it.

Speaker 10 (28:56):
You like that, Yeah, I like you.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
Well, I don't know why they called me.

Speaker 10 (28:59):
Out, probably because you you would agree.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
Oh yeah, I mean that's because you were you were joking.
I mean I think that, like, dude, white flags would
be funny, that would be that would be outstanding for
the for for for the games that they're playing in
those uniforms.

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Just you know, you know, you just can't make it up.
You just you can't.

Speaker 11 (29:21):
You can't.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
I mean, if you're gonna go, let me just say this.
Brown is a horrible color for any sports team. It's
it's horrible. I mean, how many schools do you know
that have brown in their color? Not very many. There's
a bunch in Ohio, not very many. Well, you have

(29:43):
the Cleveland Browns, one of the with San Diego Padres.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Now they go.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Brown and gold, which is almost just as bad. They
tried to go blue and orange and that didn't work.
But the Padres kind of make it work because their
their uniforms are either white or gray, and then you
know they kind of have the lettering. It doesn't look
as bad. The brown hat with the gold lettering doesn't
look bad. So you had the Padres. You have the

(30:09):
Browns Wyoming University. They're brown and gold. Maslin John Marshall's
brown and gold, but they're few and far between. I think,
isn't one of there's a meadow brook or somebody might
be brown and gold as well, but it just brown

(30:29):
is not a good color. Like if you want to
support a team.

Speaker 10 (30:33):
Well, the Bruins, they have brown, Boston Bruins.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
They're more black and gold.

Speaker 10 (30:40):
I don't know, says what I looked up says they
have it.

Speaker 8 (30:44):
I've never seen brown in the Boston Unions Bruins.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
Uniform, University of Wyoming? Did you say Wyoming?

Speaker 12 (30:51):
Did?

Speaker 10 (30:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (30:52):
The Cowboys Listen, I don't know it just I mean,
so if you're gonna go all brown and look like
a turd, you're probably gonna play like a turd. You
might as well have a turd sponsor.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
Have you noticed we've we've have had a theme this
week with this show. Yeah, this is this is what
the second show where we've had to Yeah, we've been
circling the ball if you will.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
That's pretty good. I'll give you that.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
That was good.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
Yeah, and it's funny because you would think that our
ratings would say that we were in the toilet, but
we're not.

Speaker 10 (31:32):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
Yeah, So actually we're actually we're in the back.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
They'll use they'll use the ink to print our ratings.
Yeah say that I did.

Speaker 12 (31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (31:43):
So anyways, listen, I'm all for it. Bring on the jokes.
They've earned it. They put it out there. We had
a call, didn't.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
We We did somebody I apologize, Rick. Yeah, well yeah,
the guy said that. He goes, I got a joke
for you. He said, I'm going to order one of
the new Browns GI forms to put Sam on the back.

Speaker 10 (32:01):
I'll take it. The problem, I'll take it. I'll take
the helmet too. If you can find one of those
Matte helmets, I'll take the helmet.

Speaker 8 (32:10):
But what Bloomer called Matty Mattie, Matt, Matt Tay, something
like that.

Speaker 10 (32:14):
Just Matt, Yeah, Matt Black, Matt Brown, Yeah, Matt. Hey,
who's trying to sun It's it'sticated. Oh okay, wait a second,
we just got one.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
I got a text that said the University of Wyoming
that has brown in the uniforms is the only one
that looks good. I think the Padres look fine. I
think the Padres pulled off, and not just because they're baseball,
but I think the Padres pulled off on the white
and the gray uniforms. A brown hat does not look
I mean, I'm not a fan of it, but it

(32:45):
doesn't look bad.

Speaker 10 (32:47):
No, no, no, we just gotta I got a text
from a Devo listener, Davo.

Speaker 8 (32:52):
He says, uh oh, he knows all the schools, didn't.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
I massl in high school is actually black and orange.
I thought they were brown and orange, Dave.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
Aren't they the Messlins? The Tigers, aren't they?

Speaker 5 (33:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (33:02):
Yeah, so they would be black and orange.

Speaker 10 (33:04):
Oh okay, for some reason I thought they were brown.
My mistake, My mistake.

Speaker 8 (33:08):
He does. He calls high school football or something over there.
Buzz he yeah, New Philadelphia somewhere or someplace like that.
Cocummers down somewhere.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
We got another text, Sam, find dude wipes on Microsoft bing.
There are several video clips you may or may not
be interested in viewing.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
I don't. I don't want to watch anybody with any
type of wipes. No baby wipes. No, I don't even
want to watch a baby getting white. I've used baby
wipes before all my kids when they were little, you know,
And they're there for a reason to clean up the.

Speaker 10 (33:41):
Doodoom h did doodoo do pooh pooh. Yeah, so again
open to the jokes, send them my way. You know,
I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll take it. Seven zero
four seven zero is our text line started off with
bloom Daddy. You can call us one eight hundred and
sixty four eleven seventy if you call us keep it clean.
Oh hey, you know what today there was another joke

(34:03):
right there too. You know what that was unintentional.

Speaker 8 (34:05):
This weekend it is like ethnic food festival weekends.

Speaker 13 (34:08):
Oh yes, if you're a foodie, now is the weekend
Greation Food festival with the Saint John's Greek course, the
Doos Church Saint John, the Divine Greek Orthodox Church kicks
off today.

Speaker 8 (34:20):
Good food gyrose eros is. They are called all kind
of stuff baklavava. That's all available down there. And then
of course the Italian Festival kicks off tomorrow. And we're
actually going to talk to Tony Philberte from the Italian
Festival coming up in the next find.

Speaker 10 (34:37):
Out what Let's find out what's going on and how
much meat the sons of Suns of Italy, right, belairs,
Sons of Italy, like thousands of pounds, don't they make
of sausage.

Speaker 8 (34:49):
You know, we talk about I attend cardio drumming a
couple times a week. Uh, they will be cardio drumming
at the Italian Festival on Friday at three forty five.
And literallyly is it supposed to be? I told him.
I They said, are you coming to I said, absolutely not.
And I said, and the part of the reason is
because I've got tickets to the Power Game. So and
it starts at six forty, so I think we're gonna

(35:10):
try to leave at four thirty. So I can't go
from three forty five to four forty five and expect
to make it to Pittsburgh, where.

Speaker 10 (35:18):
We Oh, yeah, that's cutting it clothes.

Speaker 8 (35:19):
So and I said. The other thing is it's gonna
be so hot that by the time you're done, there's
not gonna be anybody there. It's just gonna be a
puddle sweat. Everybody's just gonna melt.

Speaker 10 (35:30):
They're gonna melt. Yikes, that is gonna be toasty. Terrrian.
Uh sent me an email Saminiheartmedia dot com Brown's ups uniforms. Well,
that was nice, Terrrian. That wasn't as harsh. Seven fifty eight.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience samon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
W w V.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
See number one talk show in the Ohio Alley. This
this 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 seventy.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
WWVA starts now.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
News Radio eleven seventy. It's the Blue Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eight six, let's get this hour rolling. The Brown's
Open Training canter Thure story is the Enfilager, alternate helmet
and really alternate uniform head to toe brown. The helmet
is brown matte, the rest of the uniform brown.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I like it. I like it.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
They're gonna wear it September twenty first, October nineteenth, and
December seventh, three times against Green Bay, Miami, and Tennessee.
What makes this story even better, though, is the sponsor
Dude Wipes. These are flushable wipes supposed to be used
after toilet paper to give men that fresh feel. But
I'm sure some men probably use them as toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
So let's think about this for a second.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
You got the Browns organization, which is usually described as
a pile of you know what. You've got a team
that plays like a pile of you know what. You've
got new alternate uniforms that look like mister Hankey, the
Christmas poof from South Park sponsored by Dude Wipes. Spring
go On, the co founder in CMO of Dude Wipes,

(37:18):
Ryan Meaghan. Right now, Ryan, from your perspective, this is
a match made in heaven. This is the best pairing
since Starski and Hutch.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I mean, how did this happen? How did this marriage happen?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yeah, you know, we're in year three of the partnership,
and Browns of you know, been great partners of ours,
and you know year one was the white uniforms that
we were presenting partner for and obviously a lot of
synergies between the name of the team and what the
application for our product was.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
So when they came inbound to us.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
To their credit a few years back, we we cannot
say no. And like I said, they've been a great
part and willing to have great fun with us, and.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
We knew this year going in with the UH.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
With the brown uniforms, from head to toe, it was,
like you said, a match made in heaven.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
So we're we can be more thrilled.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
What's the match made in Heaven for you?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
But if I'm looking at it from the Browns perspective,
if I'm a executive with the Browns that thank god
I'm not, and all of a sudden we in veii's
all brown uniforms. We won three games last year. This
whole proposed move to brook Park, you got everybody calling
the Browns organization and everything else a big bag of
you know what, I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm like, hey,

(38:36):
Ryan with dude wipes, we love you. Let's have your
sponsored something else, but maybe not a uniform.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
That looks like a turn you see them?

Speaker 5 (38:46):
Yeah again, I think you.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
I think you have to give them credit for not
taking themselves too seriously and having a little fun with it.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
And I think the fans appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I know we certainly appreciate it, like you said, but
it's it's all credit to them for just leaning in
and having a little bit of fun and not taking
things too seriously.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yeah, I guess that's how we're gonna We're gonna have
to look at it. I mean, when I first saw
this today, you know, I sat there and I thought,
you know what this brown's new helmet, the uniform sponsored
by dude Wipes. I used to defend the front office
when people said they were a bunch of blank wipes.
But that ship has now sailed. So here we are. Hey, look,

(39:24):
you were on Shark Tank. You and ye your partner
was it back in? Your company's been around since what
twenty sixteen?

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Company's actually been around since twenty twelve.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
We were on Shark Tank in twenty fifteen, So okay,
anniversary for us?

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, so how have things grown since that that moment
on Shark Tank?

Speaker 6 (39:47):
Yeah, things have grown tremendously for us.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
We've we've actually cut of both.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
On ourselves into being one of the I think top
five performing in revenue sales of all time on the
show show.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
And you know, we went from me and a little guy.
I think we did about one.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Million in revenue the year we pitched in twenty fifteen,
and now we're doing hundreds of millions in sales. You know,
projected to do around three hundred million this year. So
things have grown tremendously. And it's because of stunts like
this that we did today that we've you know, become
known to dude to spark some some mischief and you know,

(40:26):
get people talking, and you know we're we're trending on
Twitter right.

Speaker 6 (40:29):
Now with this move, and it's going nuts.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
All over sports media. So this is this is.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Our bread and butter and what we love to do.
And then try to make a little noise.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Talking to Ryan Meagan right now, co founder CMO of
Dude Wipes, We're gonna play a little clip from Shark
Tank Move.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Can you cue that up and roll it please?

Speaker 7 (40:48):
Jarks, are you still wiping the old fashioned way with
just toilet paper? If so, you're a chump and your
ass probably hates you for it. Good, Hey, what's a
dude to do? You could try some baby white, but
we're not babies, we're dudes.

Speaker 9 (41:02):
So we created the award winning dude Wipes, but the
very first wipes for well dudes. They're flushable, bowndegradable, have
soothing aloe, and he answered every dude's prayers.

Speaker 7 (41:13):
So, Sharks, which one of you are ready to joining
the crusade of saving the world one dude at a time.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
So Ryan, I just envision you and your buddy sitting
around one day, maybe drinking a couple of cold ones.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Maybe chafed.

Speaker 5 (41:27):
Oh we know not.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
It was. It was over lots of lots of Miller
Lites and burritos.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
Is where we uh where we where?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
We spawned this idea out of uh in our apartment
at Wrigleyville back in the day. And uh yeah, that's
the classic pitch right there.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
And we're still on that, you.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Know, crusade of education that you know, Dude Wipes gets
the crap that toil the paper leaves behind. Everyone thinks
they're clean, which is dry, scratchy TP but it just
doesn't get the job done. So we're educating millions of
Americans every year on switching over to this better, more pressure,
cleaner routine.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Well, I got one more for you before I let
you go. Talking about the Browns moving to brook Park,
they're gonna build a dome. How about Dude Wipe's dome?
Is that going to be in the future?

Speaker 6 (42:13):
You talking about a sponsor of the stadium.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yes, Dude Wipe's Dome.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
I mean, if they build this new dome in brook
Park in which it's gonna happen, what do you think
Dude Wipe's Dome actually has a ring to it?

Speaker 5 (42:26):
Never say never.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
We love the sports atmosphere and you know, don't cone
us up.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
All right, Hey listen, Ryan, thanks for sharing your story.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Best of luck to you, and thanks for for spending
some time with me here on the show.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (42:45):
It just keeps going on and on and on. When
it comes down to it, it's a stunt. It's a stunt.
It's a stunt that benefits dude wipes. It is a
stunt that once again makes the Browns an embarrassing. They
do a pretty good job on their own, they do,

(43:05):
but this just you know, it's a sellout. It's a sellout,
and and it sells out the fans, the dedicated fans
that have stood by this team. And I'm not going
to go into all of that.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
Again, you're way too much into no, but.

Speaker 10 (43:18):
As a fan, it's so angering, so frustrating. We haven't
even talked about the dude who when they were making
the big unveiling of the inflatable helmet on Lake Erie
taking the pictures, he falls off the back end of it.

Speaker 8 (43:36):
I sent you that video that was hysterical. He's not
paying attention, whoop camera and everything goes right into the water.

Speaker 10 (43:44):
We need like cartoon music or something.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
Maybe you ought to just switched teams. No, no, jump ship.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
He did.

Speaker 10 (43:53):
I'm not a bandwagoner he jumped ship. Nope not.

Speaker 8 (43:56):
You don't have to be a bandwagoner to say I've
had enough.

Speaker 10 (43:59):
No, no, not doing it. I've always got my buck eyes.
I've always got my buck eyes. But uh yeah, yeah,
that dude, he went.

Speaker 8 (44:09):
And then as I said, after I said that, if
I sent after I sent that to you, like there
were seventeen other videos of the same thing, all from
different I mean, just like, you couldn't happen to a better,
better team.

Speaker 10 (44:25):
You just can't. You can't. You can't make it up.
You just can't.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Know.

Speaker 8 (44:30):
They ought to build the stadium like on a barge
and then make it a floating stadium on Lake Erie,
because you know that would just be perfect, because it
just would. That's there's another stunt that they could do,
because that's the only way you're going to attract fans.

Speaker 10 (44:45):
And here's the problem. That isn't the only way you
attract fans. You put a winning product on the on
the field.

Speaker 8 (44:50):
Yeah, and how how well has that worked?

Speaker 10 (44:53):
Yeah? Yep, I see a rebuild in the future. I
definitely see a rebuild in the future. Hopefully they'll rebuild
the marketing department, the front office, the coaching staff and
everybody else on social media or on text line, Sam,
the new uniforms can help the Browns win. They can

(45:13):
hide the ball and the opponent won't know who has
the ball. Okay, that's a little pushing it. Seven zero
four seven zero, that's our text line started off with
bloom Daddy.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
It's eight fifteen, talking Italian Festival.

Speaker 10 (45:26):
We are talking the Italian Now, I'm gonna get hungry.
That's gonna make me hungry. The bloom Daddy Experienced salmon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA eight twenty The bloom
Daddy Experienced salmon Otis. If you haven't had breakfast yet

(45:47):
and you're hungry, you may not want to listen to
this because we're gonna talk food, because.

Speaker 8 (45:51):
It is an entertainment.

Speaker 10 (45:52):
And everything else, Yeah, wrong with it. But of course
when I think the Italian Festival, I think food.

Speaker 8 (45:57):
That's a good reason to think that way. So we're
gonna bring and Toni Pilberto from the Italian Festival. Good morning, Tony,
good morning, Hey, how's everything going you get. Italian Festival
starts tomorrow this weekend. It's the big one. What is it,
the forty fourth second? Forty second Okay, there was a
number in there.

Speaker 14 (46:17):
Right, it's actually the forty third year. But coour during
COVID year we didn't have a festival, right, so this
is our forty second festival.

Speaker 8 (46:24):
Okay, And anything ex I mean, people that have never
been to the Italian Festival, what can you tell them
to expect?

Speaker 14 (46:31):

(47:18):
the Wheeling Diocese, which is a great thing that we
just have something for everyone.

Speaker 8 (47:23):
And so when you talk about the Italian Festival and food,
you know, obviously one of your biggest vendors, one of
the most popular vendors is the Belair Suns of Italy. Sure,
and how long have they been? Have they been around
for all forty two years?

Speaker 14 (47:39):
I think they they were one of the originators, to
be honest with you, you know, I'm not exactly sure,
but they haven't missed many if they have missed any.

Speaker 8 (47:50):
Okay, yeah, and they are I mean that's like one
of the most popular sandwich is correct.

All right, Tony, thanks for joining us today.

Speaker 14 (52:42):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (52:43):
All Righty, you have a good one there you go,
Tony Philberto from the Italian Festival. I mean, they do
do just scholarships. I mean, that's well, but that's that's
impressive that they give out that many scholarships each year.
So I mean, you know, local youth here in the
valley can benefit from that. I'm sure you can go
onto their website and figure out how to apply, to
apply for it. You, But I mean three thousand dollars

(53:06):
in today's day and age. Like you said, college costs
are astronomical, so you know, any little bit, any little
bit helps.

Speaker 10 (53:13):
Yeah, that's an understatement, you know.

Speaker 8 (53:15):
Check it out the Italian Festival this weekend here at
each sport, free, free entertainment. Yeah you pay for food.

Speaker 10 (53:21):
Yeah, you got to pay. Yeah, but I mean there's
no take, there's no ticket to get in, we get back.
Is it too quick to do a Jimmy Hoffe story?

Speaker 8 (53:31):
Too quick? The guy's been dead for fifty years.

Speaker 10 (53:33):
Well no, I mean connecting it the all Italian thing. Yeah,
okay a twenty we're gonna jump to a quick break.
Don't forget sign up. This is your last call. Half
Gawn of ice Cream from Kirks seven zero four to
seven zero. Name phone number started off with bloom daddy, Oh,

(53:53):
welcome back.

Speaker 8 (53:53):
You're out of your mind. You're out of your mind?
Why just because of what you just said? So off
air off airy. One of my college roommates was texting
me and we were talking about brown uniforms and his
comment was that the University of Wyoming is the only

(54:14):
brown uniforms that look good and I said, I'm still
not sold because I remember watching the University of Wyoming
play in a football game. Brown pants, brown jerseys, white helmets.
They look terrible. I mean, in my opinion, the helmets
look great, don't get me wrong. The white with the
brown cowboy rideing the I don't know if it's a

(54:35):
Bronco or I think it's a Bronco. Anyway, it's kind
of like a bucking Bronco. Great logo and on brown
on white on the helmet didn't look bad, but the
brown uniforms just do not. I'm sorry, John Marshall people,
I'm sorry. Brown brown is just not a good sports
team color. So he's and he goes, well, it kind

(54:57):
of goes with the cowboy motif, and you're like okay,
And I said, well, the dark brown no, And you
said well, and I said, tan, yeah, what did I say?

Speaker 10 (55:07):
My voice dropped a few often.

Speaker 8 (55:09):
And I said and I said, well, I can I
can maybe go with a like a lighter brown, like
a tannish.

Speaker 10 (55:14):
Overthinking this but okay, go.

Speaker 8 (55:16):
Ahead, Oh I'm overthinking this. And you spent a whole
segment talking about the browns and dude wipes.

Speaker 10 (55:21):
What was the biggest story.

Speaker 8 (55:23):
Oh, it was not the biggest story anyway. No, it
wasn't anyway. So then you said that what you say
what you just said about the two collars, Oh, say
what you said?

Speaker 10 (55:37):
Okay, I said blue and gold when it comes to matching,
they don't go together. They don't.

Speaker 8 (55:47):
Blue can go with just about anything. So brown, so brown,
but not on a sports uniform. It looks crappy.

Speaker 10 (55:55):
Blue and gold look crappy.

Speaker 8 (55:56):
That's because you're in a high state fan and all
you can think of is the show.

Speaker 10 (55:59):
I'm talking about colors blending together. You would never.

Speaker 8 (56:03):
They offset each other. There's a contrast which makes it exactly.

Speaker 10 (56:07):
There's always a base color, right, Okay, so for the
majority of teams, it's black, it's blue, it's a dark green,
it's some sort of dark color. Yeah, and then you
accentuate it with a polar opposite bright.

Speaker 8 (56:20):
Color, unless you're like a North Carolina where your primary
color is the Carolina.

Speaker 10 (56:24):
Blue, which is a horrible color. Same thing with Miami Dolphins.
I hate the Miami Dolphins colors.

Speaker 8 (56:29):
No, back in the day, that was the best that
awkwad teal. Yeah, yeah, they're.

Speaker 10 (56:36):
Like child colors. Anyways, I digress. You have the base
color and then you have a lighter color and they
play off of each other. Yeah, that's brown. Is a
bass color.

Speaker 8 (56:46):
Brown and gold on a uniform looks horrible.

Speaker 10 (56:50):
That's your personal opinion.

Speaker 8 (56:53):
As I And let me just let me preface it
by saying, there are not a lot of rules or
pro teams that are brown and gold for a reason
because they just suck as colors together.

Speaker 10 (57:07):
Okay, Again, that's your personal opinion. There's also I don't
look at it. Okay, so the tar Heels, the Dolphins,
I don't look at those powder blue, teal, soft pinky
orange and go, oh yeah, that's a tough football team.

Speaker 8 (57:23):
I don't think we're not worried about being tough.

Speaker 10 (57:27):
Yes, your uniform, your uniform and the colors you should choose, Yes,
it does. Why else would you have black?

Speaker 8 (57:35):
Because it's easy color to go with any other.

Speaker 10 (57:37):
Other color, That's exactly what I said earlier. But also
because it's a tough looking color teal.

Speaker 8 (57:44):
If that was the case, every team would be black.

Speaker 10 (57:47):
But every team can't be black. But again, like I said,
if you look at teal or salmon pink or whatever
that color is, that's not tough, there's no I.

Speaker 8 (57:57):
Will say this, some of the worst uniforms in sports
are the ones that Major League Baseball has come out
with for the city. They call them city uniforms. Are
those throwback versus like so in other words, like Pittsburgh
they'll have the black pants and the gold jersey and
then it says PGH across the front. Houston they have
space city. Chicago has like shy Town or something like that,

(58:21):
you know, like city nickname, yeah, or and Boston. Boston's
are terrible. Pittsburgh's they look like softball uniforms, Like if
you were at a at a big time softball tournament.
That's what like in a beer league. So that's what
those guys would wear.

Speaker 10 (58:36):
That's how bad they like the guys from the neighborhood
bars softball uniform Yeah, Like they're either all black, like
baseball doesn't do all black.

Speaker 8 (58:43):
Wow, you know, And I get it, Like the seventies
were kind of weird when it came to like uniforms,
Like everybody had powder blue uniforms, which you're making a comeback,
which is a little scary.

Speaker 10 (58:54):
Why you just said there's nothing wrong with powder blue.

Speaker 8 (58:56):
There isn't like North Carolina pulls it off. Bridgeport High
School pulls it off. But the teams that can pull
off the baby blue, the powder blue, the sky blue,
the Carolina blue, whatever you want to call it, I mean,
that's that's cool. And I like teal in the uniform.
I think it's I don't think it is a dominant color,
but I like it.

Speaker 9 (59:15):
But you can't.

Speaker 10 (59:15):
It's not. I don't know, it's just not a tough color.
It just doesn't.

Speaker 8 (59:19):
I just think brown is a bad you know, if
you want to use it to accentuate, that's fine. It's
a bad base color for a sports team.

Speaker 10 (59:27):
Well, and if we're talking about bad uniforms, you're talking
about you know, the softball whatever. Some of the throwback
uniforms that they've done in the NFL have been really bad.

Speaker 8 (59:36):
Remember when the Steelers did the bumble That has got
to be that was one of the worst.

Speaker 10 (59:41):
That's got to be one of.

Speaker 8 (59:42):
The But you know why they do it cauching money,
Because here's what happens that you wear them for a
game or two people, oh those are You'll have some
idiot that says, man, those are awesome, or you'll have
a group of idiots that say, man, those are awesome.

Speaker 10 (59:56):
Or they need it for their man cave collection. They've
got all the Yeah, yeah, they make money.

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
And if you're ever, if you're ever twenty five or
thirty and you're wearing a team jersey.

Speaker 10 (01:00:06):
To any event you're besides the game.

Speaker 8 (01:00:10):
I don't even care. If it's the game, what don't
wear You're not you're not playing, don't wear a jersey?

Speaker 10 (01:00:16):
Oh lord?

Speaker 11 (01:00:18):
Really?

Speaker 10 (01:00:18):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:00:19):
If you're a team T shirt or something like that,
that's fine.

Speaker 10 (01:00:21):
What's the matter If you're going to the game, why
can't you wear the jersey of the tea.

Speaker 8 (01:00:27):
I'm not saying you can't. I just say I think
that if you're over thirty and you wear a jersey,
you're it's just like you're a wannabe. Now, chicks are okay,
chicks can do it.

Speaker 10 (01:00:39):
Chicks Yeah, okay, we're not even gonna go in the
fact that you use the word chicks.

Speaker 8 (01:00:47):
Chicks like women look good in a jersey. Guys, you
know you're you're just trying to relive your past.

Speaker 10 (01:00:54):
Oh I never looked at it that way.

Speaker 14 (01:00:55):
Now.

Speaker 10 (01:00:56):
If I see a guy at say, a really nice
restaurant with his life for dinner, and he's wearing a jersey.
Then I think, okay, you're kind of a tool.

Speaker 8 (01:01:05):
You're definitely a tool if.

Speaker 10 (01:01:07):
You're at the game itself, don't I don't look at it.
Like now, if you're the guy that's still wearing your
high school football jersey or your letterman coat.

Speaker 8 (01:01:15):
I still have my letterman jacket.

Speaker 10 (01:01:17):
Do you wear it? Okay, Now that's trying to it fits.
That's trying to relive your glory days.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
I mean, like I have.

Speaker 8 (01:01:27):
I put it on one time. Actually what happened was
when I was after I had graduated, my cousin, who
graduated ten years after me, she wanted to wear it,
so I let her wear it for a while, and
then somehow I got it back.

Speaker 10 (01:01:39):
So all right, I won't call you a tool then,
since you don't wear it, No, I don't wear it.
I don't even know if I have mine, now that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:49):
You say that mine's in the garage under a bunch
of junk, probably because that's all that's in my garage
right now is junk. At least you admit furniture.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
I should.

Speaker 8 (01:01:59):
I should. You know what, I could probably open up
a furniture store with all the furniture that I have
between my house and my story ship. That's and that's
no lie. I could probably I could probably sell you
could make a pre I could probably sell in one
day as much furniture as maybe Wilson's or Value City furniture.

(01:02:20):
Somebody does you know?

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
Honestly?

Speaker 8 (01:02:22):
I mean if they let's just say they move ten
pieces a day. If I could, if I put out,
I could sell at least ten pieces furniture. Hey, and
nice stuff too. Have you gone to Yeah, that's on.

Speaker 10 (01:02:35):
The pay for some of those baseball cards.

brownish tan cars that are out there currently.

Speaker 8 (01:05:32):
True that you really are.

Speaker 12 (01:05:35):
I mean, there's some great colors. Hyundai's got a really
cool brown out there this year. It's kind of got
a copper undertow to it. Honda's new passport has got
