(02:52):
off with bloom daddy, what okay, you're laughing again?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, I just I'm just I have a little stat
here that as you were telling everybody what was going on,
I was just kind of doing a little not really research,
just a little side look, a little work. Now. You know,
I'm a baseball guy, so anytime I see a baseball,
anytime I see something about Nolan Ryan or Tony Gwinn,
it just kind of like catches my eye. So so

(03:21):
to just say, I just looked at it and it
was and it says here, John Smoltz, oh yeah, Hall
of Famer, huh, Tom Glavin, Hall of Famer, Greg Maddox,
Hall of Famer, Pedro Martinez Hall of Famer says they
struck out over twelve thousand hitters combined. They faced Tony
Gwynn three hundred and thirty times combined. Okay, he struck

(03:44):
out three times.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Out of three hundred and thirty times. He struck out
three times.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Wow, I mean that's how good of a hitter, Tedny
Gwinn was.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
They said there's a stat out there that Tony gwyn
could have gone oh for his last two years not
and to hit into in however many at bats he had,
he could have gone over the season for his last
two maybe three years, and he was still finished with
the career batting average over three hundred. Dang.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's uh So it's.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Just little things like that that there's little stats like
to jump out and you just go wow. Yeah, that's
why I didn't mean to interrupt train of thought off,
but I just that caught my eye and I was like,
holy cow.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
No, no, no, I get it. Yeah, that catches your
That catches your attention. But back to what was I
saying that I was looking at that, but coming up
later it is going to be politics, politics on Leach.
So again, if you have something you want us to
hit on, send that to us. You can text us
seven zero four seven zero. Speaking of politics, I did

(04:46):
post on our Facebook page, so I don't know if
you saw this, hopefully you did. President Trump decided to
take a little, uh, a little walk yesterday on top
of the White House roof.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Just you know, it's always good for snipers, right.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, So the President takes a walk on the roof
of the White House. Now, it of course goes to
the the Was.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
He inspecting it, like, hey, I think we need to
fix a shingle here?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well, here's the funny part. He took questions on the
roof from reporters down on the ground level. But here's
my question I posted on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Mister president, it's like being in the front row of
a movie theater. Just lean back way up, looking up.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So with the President on the roof yesterday, what do
you think you found up there? Now, this is meant
to be a joke, folks, This is not supposed to
be serious. This is supposed to be a joke. So
what did he find up there? You know? The last
remaining uh, you could say exactly like John F.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Kennedy's no, no you can't go there.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Willie Nelson left something beare hind Mmm?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I was thinking a little differently, a little darker, No,
you're not darker, a little more. I would say sexually.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh, I got you.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
So because John F.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Kennedy had the Yes, he was a he was a
ladies man.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Allegedly. Yeah. I mean we all know about Marilyn Roe,
and there's many yes, I mean there could be used.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I got you, Okay, I got you.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
There's probably Hunter's cocaine that they couldn't find, right exactly,
you made raincoats, yes, thank you. Yeah, there I was
trying to get I was thinking to my go professional
and say prophilactic.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
And then I would have went a while.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Huh water actic.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So yeah, again, just some fun today before we get
into the heavy part of you know, the more heavy
political talk. What did he find on the White House?
Call us one hundred and six to show Obama's jockstrap?
Big mic oh shoot one six two four eleven seven

(07:19):
you can text us seven zero four.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I'll try not to take all the good ones.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Seven zero four seven zero started off with bloom Daddy again,
What did President.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Trump dope Clinton cigars fine.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
The White House on the White House roof yesterday? Oh god,
now I can't even think of anything. You have me
laughing so hard.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's I'm sure there's a few more.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh, there's peanut.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Shells from Jimmy Carter A little easier.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
What was the beer?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Billy beer be empty cans of billy beer that bear
hey Billy.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
That had to be like the sound the facts.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh, that's just a quick story. So when I was
at WVU in the Mountain Lair, they had a theater, okay,
and if you went and saw a quote unquote first
run movie which was probably like six months old, it
cost you a dollar. If they were over a year old,
they were free. You just had to show your student ID.
So kids would take their backpacks in and everything else,

(08:29):
and you like one of the first like housekeeping announcements
that would come up on the screen. It would say,
just a reminder, there is no alcoholic beverages permitted in
the Mountainleer Theater. And you hear your cans opening up
all over the place like it was just they would
wait for it.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Shoot, shoot. But yeah, that's that's the question we're having
some fun with today. What did what did President Trump
find on the roof yesterday the White House? Maybe it
was Hillary's personality? Mmmm, there is no as gon say,
I don't know if that could actually.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Can you find it?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
When there isn't any Kamala Harris's presidential Oh campaign success,
but that sunk like the Titanic. That joke that didn't
come out the way I intend.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
You're not kidding, I am funny.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Go to a break, all right, We're gonna go to
a break. Seven sixteen The Blue Daddy Experience salmon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Seven twenty one The Blue
Daddy Experience sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

(09:44):
So put this question out there. We're having some fun
with this President Trump on the White House roof yesterday?
What do you find up there? On our text line, which,
by the way, I had this one ready to go
because I thought of it as news. We went to
the break, but I will give credit to the person
who sent it via text. He found the Epstein list

(10:09):
that everybody claims doesn't exist. Is that up there? So
what did he find up there? You can call us
one eight hundred and six to fort eleven seventy, or
you can text us like this Texter did seven zero
four seven zero start the message off with bloom Deddy.
I thought you were going to say something noticed.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Probably found kgp's notebook, the binder. Binder, Yeah, the binder.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh found a former President Biden's brain back to where
it used to be. Who used the auto pen. God,
there's so many things that could go into this, that
could go into this. But again we're going to have
regular uh politics unleash coming up in the eight o'clock hour.

(10:55):
So you brought up something that your attention to the baseball stats.
Here's a stat that caught my attention that I know
you will one hundred percent agree with. A new study
backs what I already knew. But what that is is

(11:19):
that women are often right in arguments. According to according
to this study, where it was over three hundred thousand
participants across fifty seven different countries so not just in

(11:41):
the US, found that women excel in understanding emotions, which
aids in resolving conflicts. So the study was called Reading
the Mind in the Eyes revealed that women scored higher
on tests measuring emotional awareness and empathy. So listen, ladies,

(12:02):
we all knew this, but finally there's a study to
prove it that we are writ in arguments.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
No response because you know, I mean.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You don't want to argue with me about this.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
No, because I mean, I try to report facts, not fiction.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's not hard to figure out. I try to report facts.
You report. It's just like you took something off of
Facebook and just read it like, oh it's on Facebook,
I gotta believe it.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh yeah. But don't you think that women read the
room better, read facial expressions better, have more of a
way of diplomatically considering both sides of an argument, so
not as cut and dry, black and white.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm not going to say that that's not probably the
case in most people. But with my other job, I've becot.
You know, you have to become you have to read
the room real quick, and you have to you have
to know what's going on where in like seconds, and
you know, you run into situations where people are yelling

(13:19):
at you and you you know, or they get into
an argument. You got to diffuse it. And you know,
I mean you have to you have to play the
you know, like obviously police officers are a lot better
at it than I am. But you know, those are
the people that I'm learning from. I mean, you're always learning,
but you have to, you know, you figure in my
other job, I'm going into places where alcohol is involved,

(13:42):
people are intoxicated, so that's you know, your My head's
always on a swivel. So yes, I mean I think.
Do I think women read the room better like in
a casual setting. Yes, But I mean but I do
it as well, because anytime I enter a room, that's
what I have to do. So anytime for me, it's
like it's practice. But you know, I look and see

(14:02):
where people are sitting. I look and see who's here, look,
and then you listen, you know, But it's yeah, you
have to read the room and you have to read
it pretty quick well.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
And I think it also depends on the individual person absolutely.
I mean there are certain situations that I've caught myself
in where I can be empathetic, I can be understanding,
But then there's other situations where I see how people
they have a way of diplomatically handling things where I know,

(14:31):
personally I wouldn't be able to bite my tongue in
certain situations, like if I when somebody is stupid, I'm
gonna call him stupid.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Right. If I go to my friend's house and he
invites me over and there's a group of people there,
I don't go in there to read the room.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, that's yeah, Yeah, that's different.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, I just you know, so, I mean, are there
times that my guards down? Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, I just think about certain like being able to handle.
I'm trying to think of an extreme example. So this
study is more about arguments. We're kind of we're kind
of steering in a different direction. But I well, I'm
trying to think of a real extreme. Okay, So take
take a school system for example. And you know how

(15:15):
over the past three or four years this there's been
this rumor about cat litter boxes and kids pretending to
be cats in the school system buckling down to putting
in litter like all the ridiculousness we've heard. For me,
if I was in the administration for something like that,

(15:36):
I would not be flexible. I would not be able
to be flexible. I would be like, I don't care
who the parents are. I would be you know, this
is absolutely ridiculous. I will not have this happen in
my school, and I will not cater to the mental
illness that you're developing in your child.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
But somebody's got an issue because it's either the kid
or the parent.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
But in that situation, wait, a school administrator, how do
they don't. They almost are.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Sometimes you just put Sometimes you just put it out
on the table and you say, look, this isn't gonna happen.
I don't and then you know, and then you deal
with the repercussions after that, because they're going to have
to sue you to say. And if you go to
court and you say, well, my son or daughter thinks
that they're a cat and they need a litter box,
and if the judge agrees with you, he's insane or

(16:26):
she's insane too.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Sorry, I can't imagine. I can't imagine what people in
those positions have had to deal with over the past
five years. I just couldn't.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, you know what, you know, what would have happened
forty years ago. They'd got slapped upside their head and
they aboul to pede in the toilet.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yes, how many unproductive productive adults are we creating currently?
I've actually got some interesting information on that coming up
seven twenty eight. I've had a lot of conversations recently
about employment. We're going to get into that the Blue
Daddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA seven

(17:07):
thirty six. We are back the Blue Daddy Experience. Sam
and Otis Otis is in there getting it down.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Chair dancing, chare dancing. I'm one of the best chair
dancers there ever is.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, I'll take your word for it.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Good upper body is that what it is? A good
upper body movement.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Your upper body has rhythm, rhythm. The bottom part not
so much, not anymore used to. I've never had any rhythms,
so and I no bones about it. I have no
rhythm whatsoever. I cannot dance, cannot dance. So we kind
of touched on this before the break, getting into you know,
the younger generation employment here recently, in a couple of

(17:47):
different circumstances, I have had multiple conversations with people and
somehow we always end up talking about employment. Right now,
there is a lot of businesses who are struggling to
hire folks. Here's the thing, It's not just one type

(18:08):
of business. So what I mean by that, it's not
just the hospitality industry, it's not just the manufacturing industry.
It's across the board. And one thing that always goes
in the direction is the younger generation, the young adults
coming into the workforce. Right now, there seems to be

(18:33):
for some reason this disconnect. And I was talking to
a person and he said to me, the biggest thing
is they don't know how to work. And I said, well,
what do you? I said, like they're lazy. No, not necessarily,

(18:56):
they have to be handheld through everything. They don't show initiative.
There is not this natural work ethic to accomplish things.
They don't know how to work. And it is backed

(19:18):
up by a lot of different things that I've read
recently and right now. In a recent article that I read,
nine out of ten managers say that gen Z workers
need to be taught fundamental workplace behaviors, and those are

(19:40):
how to receive constructive criticism, how to speak appropriately with
clients and fellow coworkers, how to multitask, how to behave
during meetings. This seems to be a growing trend. The
question is are we seeing the first round or the

(20:04):
first ramifications of the parental style of the participation trophy
award theory where everybody's equal, people don't have to you know,
there wasn't a lot of working to accomplish winning because
you knew if you were that child, that you were

(20:27):
going to get a trophy, no matter what other things
that a lot of employers are dealing with is showing
up on time, prompt response to things, whether that's an
email or a phone call, or there's just not a
lot of quickness to answer meeting deadlines. Here's a big one,

(20:50):
putting your phone away. I have gone to businesses and
I actually sat at a restaurant and watched the entire
weight staff back in their area on their phones for
about eight minutes. I sat there and watched. Nobody came

(21:12):
to wait on me. They weren't doing anything. They were
on their phones, and at that point in time, I
didn't know who was going to be taking care of
my table. They were all back there. Put down the phones.
Put down the phones. But there's also demands that the

(21:32):
younger generation is making when it comes to jobs. One
in six under the age of twenty eight won't even
consider taking a job unless there's a designated snooze space
at their place of employment. They need a nap room.

(21:57):
They need somewhere to take a nap through the day.
They won't even consider a job if the nap room
is not there. And then another one in five these
are gen zers, which of course that falls between the
ages of twelve and twenty seven now a twelve year old. Okay,

(22:17):
they're not in the workforce, but the twenty some things
they are, one in five of them need at their
place of employment a fun room, a fun room where
they'd like to have things like a ping pong table,
maybe a pool table, snack machines. You know.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
I think it depends on your job. Okay, I mean,
if you're if you're in a high stressed job, I
think you do need those things a nap room. Listen,
but hear me out. So I have one of my coworkers,
his son just got a job. He just got hired
as an air traffic controller. Okay, So if you're like

(23:00):
I mean, and I know those are few and far between,
but like if you go to Cleveland's a hub, and
I think there's different cities that are big hubs, but
they have exercise rooms, they have game rooms, they have
they have quiet rooms that you can go because you're
on for like an hour forty five minutes or something
and then you're off for like two hours because the

(23:20):
stress level is so high. Okay, So yeah, I mean
it's just like you can go in and it also
depends on the length of your shift. So if you're
working a twelve hour shift and you have that, they
give you like an hour of you time, or it's
like an hour and a half of you time. Because
you're on a twelve hour shift. A lot of times
they'll have a weight room or they'll have something like that,

(23:43):
or if you need to catch up on a little
sleep there, they do have a space for you to
crash because you might just need to recharge that battery
for a half an hour. Okay, So I mean I'm
not I'm not saying that that goes in. I'm not
saying that they like this job here. Absolutely not right.
You know, if you're out on it, if you're on
a construction site, absolutely not. But if you're working a

(24:03):
twelve hour day, that's a stressful job. Police officers, fire firemen,
you know, they do stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Nurses, you were crazy shift work? Yeah, I guess, okay,
I guess I wasn't really thinking about those types of
I was thinking about the traditional nine to five hours.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
You know, on a nine to five job where you're
sitting in an office and you know your your data
entry or you're doing something like that. Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Listen, everybody needs a break. Sure, I'm not saying that.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
But you don't. I don't need an I don't need
a nap, or do I need a twenty minute you know,
Let's say you get a half hour for lunch and
you get two twenty minute breaks during the day, or
you get an hour for lunch and you get two
fifteen minute breaks. You know, I'm not going to take
a nap in that fifteen minutes, but I might want to.
I might want to go for a fifteen minute walk,
or I might want to do you know. But and

(24:48):
if you offer that, if you offer that like a
little indoor track or a weight room or something of
that nature, or treadmill, you know, those are little things
that just just to kind of get the body away
from and it's sometimes that's a stress.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Reliever or okay, so playing devil's advocate here. So the
information that I have here is in regards to those
that won't even consider jobs right that don't have these
type of things.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Off which so are these you know, it depends on
the job that you're looking for.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Are these people, these younger people, are they out of
touch or most of them do. I come from a
generation where you do the job, you get paid, you
go home. I mean, do these younger does this generation,
this up and coming generation, not have the grit or
the heart or were they not raised to be a

(25:40):
hard worker.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
I think you can be a hard work Is it
a generational gap? I think there is a generation. I
think there's a generational gap, especially when it comes to
cell phones, when it comes to like, you know, like
when when I worked, when I worked over here at
the Bridge Tavern back in the eighties and nineties, you know,
I always got a chance to sit down and get
something to eat. But if it got busy, you worked,

(26:02):
you worked. Yeah, you skipped your lunch, or you delayed
your lunch or you did whatever. These these the employees today,
Oh it's my lunch, Like they'll be sitting there now,
say excuse me, you know, can I you know, can
you let me know I'm on my lunch break? Oh yeah,
there's no like you can't answer a question on your
lunch break.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yep, there is no.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
All I'm saying is do you know where I can
find charcoal? Charcoal fluid? You know, later fluid. I'm on
my break, Like you can't say, oh, it's in Aisle.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Sixteen, or are those that sit oh use that as
an example. Are those that have that mentality that draw
the lines. Have they done done something that those of
us older have not been able able to should have done,
and our employers have taken advantage of us.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I think I think there's a I think there's a
probably a a a little bit of yes to all
those questions. Yeah. I mean, if you look at the
way the Europeans work and how we work, oh they.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Laugh at us.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah. Yeah, because you have to recharge the batteries and
if you don't, you're gonna burn out. I mean, I
just got a text from somebody that said, hey, you know,
my body can't do this anymore. If you see a
job opening someplace, let me know.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, because he works construction. Oh and he's like, look,
I'm getting older, my body's getting sore, you know. I
just I just need to find something else. And he said,
so if you see, if anything, let me know.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah. It's a tough question. It's it's a tough question.
It's uh seven forty six. We'll continue this in a
couple other things when we get back the bloom Daddy experience,
and of course, don't forget still time to sign up

text on the text line made me think, So, there's
a lot of what's the word I'm looking for? I

(28:15):
just completely went blank. Oh so we were talking about
demands or features at a place of employment that young
people won't even consider applying for the job if they
don't offer things like a nap room or an entertainment room.
And notice you had some good points about the particular
type of job.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, we got a text on the text line should
I should I read it now? Okay, it was a
good one though, So whoever said it made us chuckle.
We're just not going to go there. What would you
want to see? So say you could do anything here?
A little perk that you would want within reason? Let's

(28:58):
you know?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, I mean I don't I don't think I would
need one for something here. Oh well, yeah that's true.
You know, I mean, if if I had a job
that was stressful, I would want something to take that stress.
So I don't know what that would be right off
the top of my head, because I'm not I'm not
really a gamer per se, you know, I don't you know,

(29:24):
like sometimes my relaxation is like sitting down and doing
a crossword puzzle. I know that sounds like something totally stupid,
but it just kind of like you start to concentrate
on the clues and you just kind of shut out
the rest of the world, you know. So, I mean,
and it's been a while since I've actually been a
crossword puzzle, but I used to do them almost every day.

(29:46):
But just one of those, I mean, it's something. It's
something to just kind of take my mind off of everything.
And you know, that could be just I mean, if
you just had I don't know if you want to
call it a quiet room, but if I could put
my headphones on and maybe just listening to some like
white noise or brown noise or whatever you want to

(30:07):
call it, like the rainfall, something of that nature that
that sometimes that that relieves.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Some of that st That's something that I was kind
of thinking for myself because I suffer from migraines and
if if they're coming on, I can tell. And sometimes
if I just go in a quiet dark room, no
white noise, know nothing, and it's completely blacked out, it'll
kind of keep it from from happening. But sometimes, like
you said, just that room to decompress stop, not necessarily nap,

(30:41):
just you know, shut your mind down for a little
bit and take a break.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Or if you if you could do something that was
kind of like intense, like like like and I don't
want to say it super intense, but like if depending
on how much time you had, so like if you
had other people on the same time break as you,
and you know, could you play like a game of pickleball,
or could you do you know, a brisk walk or
could you do you see what I'm saying. Like some

(31:06):
people might want to play rack a ball or handball
or just something to get that frustration out, or even
have a smash room.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh could have fun with a smashroom. Yeah, especially on
certain days. There's been times where you know, we get
off the air and I start doing other stuff and
I look up and it's twelve thirty pushing one o'clock.
Because you put your face in a laptop or in
a computer, and before you know it, time has flown by.

(31:41):
And then it's like, and I don't know if for me,
I have to get to a stopping point. I don't
like to end my day or stop for lunch with
a bunch of different irons in the fire. I don't
know what it is about my mental makeup, but I
have to have. I have to be at a good

(32:01):
stopping point otherwise I just power through it. And then
the next thing I know, it's three or four o'clock
and the day's gone and I haven't eaten lunch or whatnot.
Now that's just part that's me, that's my mentality. But
there is But Dad goes back to what I said
earlier talking about this is is that part of I

(32:27):
don't want to say sacrificing, that's not the right term,
but that But is that part of my generation's difference
from the younger generation where we have never drawn a
line in the sand of that balance of you know,
your work ethic but balanced also with your you know,

(32:50):
taking care of yourself also whether it's whether it's physically
or mentally. You know, we've never drawn that line. I've
always been you work and you work hard and you
get the job done no matter the cost. Like if
you have to power through lunch, you power through lunch
because you're gonna get the job done. And it's about priorities,
you know our Have our priorities been skewed by the employers?

(33:17):
And I'm not talking about just here, I'm not just
talking about you know, where I work. But have we
been taken advantage of by employers in general because of
the fact of the hard work ethic that the majority
of us of that we have, and we've you know,
not been able to draw that line. I don't know.

(33:38):
I don't know. Maybe there is something to what gen
Z is pushing for, maybe not necessarily a nap room
or a you know, party room, But I don't know.
I don't know. It's seven fifty eight, don't forget free
lunch Friday. Sam at iHeartMedia dot com. Sam at iHeartMedia

Welcome back eight oh six on your Wednesday the Bloom
Daddy Experience, Sam and ol, Sam and Elvis. I was
going to say, oh my gosh, Sam and otis's over.
It is radio eleven seventy WWVA, but it is Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
So you combined Elgin and me, we would be over.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
That's that's what I did. You're exactly right. You hear
that voice, Elgin, that's kind a sexy in there. Oh no,
it's time for politics unleashed with of course, the voice
you hear on the other end of the phone, Elgin mccardial.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
Good morning, ma'am, Good morning. How are you?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Oh good, good, good, busy, busy busy. There is a
lot happening, a lot happening. But I'm going to ask
you this question first. I don't know if you were
listening a bit earlier, but we were talking about President
President Trump's visit to the the roof yesterday of the
White House.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
And I saw that. But what was going.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
On, Well, he was up there in regards to something
about building that ballroom and all of that. But we
were joking around. We were guessing between Otis and I
what he actually found on the roof of the White
House that some of the former workers or former presidents
may have left behind.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Cocaine, that's what said.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
That was one. We said, Bill Clinton, cigars, Oh, Michelle
Obama's jock strap.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
So we've been we've been having some fun with it.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Empty cans of Billy beer.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
What was the JFK's raincoat.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Yeah, JFK's raincoats used rain kids.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Wow, yeah, you guys really this morning.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Those were off the top of the head too. Therese
were like there was that there was no pre planning
for that.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Well, hunters, Hunter's drugs the first that came to my mind.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
But that that came, but it was about the fourth one.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, yeah, would be the perfect place, you know, stash.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
On partaking that activity, I would think. Wasn't that partaking
that activity?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Wasn't that where Willie was supposed to have gone? Didn't
he go on the roof of the White House? And no,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
No, No, that was in the office.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Oh okay, okay, all right, all right, okay, we'll get serious. Now,
we'll get serious. So have you been following everything going
on in Texas.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
About the registrict. Yeah, although they're calling it jerrymandering, but yes, yes,
I mean, you know, again once again we're.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Allowed to do it. You were not that that really
sums up the whole issue. I mean, it is been
a regular practice. I mean West Virginia just went through
redistrict came a couple of years ago, I think in
twenty twenty two. It was. You know, it happens because
you have people moving in, you have people moving out,

(37:39):
and you want to make sure that the electorate is
properly represented in you know, by district. So you don't
want one district to have five representatives and one another
district next door to have one representative when most of
the people have now moved to that district. It's just

(38:00):
a it's a redrawing of the line to make sure
that everybody's vote is counted. Quote unquote, well okay.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Okay, So just to kind of do an overview, what
is happening is folks are moving into districts in Texas correct,
which which then in turn is creating a situation when
it comes to the vote the voting districts, the more
people needs more representatives. Correct, correct? Okay, so let's take

(38:36):
a step right. Okay, so let's take a step back
and let's think about this. We have been talking for
a couple of years now about the fact that there
are many blue states Oregon, Illinois, with Chicago, New York.
We've just seen it with the whole mom Dommy thing.
People are fleeing Blue states. There are then in turn

(38:59):
red state. It's like Texas who are getting this influx
of people. Hence, this is what is happening because of
those situations. Am I misinterpreting this or no.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
Well you're not, You're not. I mean it, it happens.
I mean it's not only Texas. I mean, it's Florida,
it's West Virginia has gotten a great deal of people
moving in. You know, you're right, people from blue states
are moving to red states because they're fed up with
the socialistic, non capitalistic views on life, business, et cetera,

(39:36):
the woke policies, all of that. They are leaving those
states and it's going to happen to New York. I
mean when they have mister mom Donnie you know, going
around and then Elizabeth Warren touting for him, You're going
to have a big problem in New York City because
the big businesses are going to leave and they're counting

(39:57):
on those big billionaires to funds everything, and they're just
not going to stick around. No, no, no, no, no no.
We came to New York City because this was the
financial capital of the United States of the world, and
we're going to you know, make money here and et cetera.
It's just not going to happen. I mean, they just

(40:18):
they don't get it. So, yes, they're fleeing. They're going
to red states and redistrict thing. It's necessary to make
sure that they're adequately represented in the vote. And of
course the Dems are spending it saying, oh, we're just
heading up to the election. So well, they know they're
going to lose. So what do they do. They take
the ball, they go home. They don't have a quorum,

(40:38):
and they're doing exactly I mean, they're basically shirking their
responsibility and their duties to represent the people. Well it's
completely backwards.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
And you're right, they're taking their ball and they're going home.
But what they're doing is they're running to New York,
Boston in Chicago, which by the way, the majority of
people are running from those cities, but they are acting
like spoiled children. They're not getting they're not getting their way.
Here's the thing, though, in the state of Texas, that

(41:15):
is not you don't screw around in the state of Texas, No,
you don't. And in between the governor and the other
Republican representatives, say, for example, Senator John Korn, they are
holding their feet to the fire. I mean, Korn has
called on the FBI to arrest these Democratic state lawmakers.

(41:36):
The governor has called for you know, civil arrest Warrens.
This is no joke. But the question is, you know,
does the governor have the legal authority to have these
lawmakers arrested?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (41:49):
I mean again, I think they need to do their job.
I mean, they were elected to represent their particular districts
and they're intentionally not going for the purpose of avoiding
a quorum. So I think they're you know, I'm not
familiar with Texas statutes, but I would think that there

(42:13):
is a mechanism where the governor can forge those legislators
to go to the whatever legislation legislative session for the
purpose of doing that. I mean, they're they're basically you
can't do anything without a quorum. Clearly you can, and
so you can't intentionally create a non quorum. I don't

(42:38):
know what the right you can't, you know what I mean.
You can't intentionally not be there solely for the purpose
of avoiding a quorum if you're sick, if you know
you have a legitimate reason, people miss I get it,
but not as a group to collaboratively say we're not
going to go so that they don't have a quorum
and this won't be voted on and we'll just delay.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
We are basically watching a governmental version of Texas Texas
hold Them play out pretty much. So yeah, yeah, So
we got a couple other things to get into. You
touched a little bit on New York and Mondamie and socialism.
We're going to get into that, Governor, I'm sorry, Warren,
and a couple other things. So hold the line there, Elgin.

(43:20):
We are going to jump to a quick break. It
is eight point fifteen The bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, Welcome back. It's eight twenty
The bloem Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

(43:43):
It's a Wednesday, so of course we are talking politics
unleash with Elgin mccardal on the phone with us. So, Elgin,
you mentioned Mondamie, you mentioned New York City, and let
me ask you this, with what we are seeing between Mondami,
what we are seeing with Omar Fatah in Minneapolis and

(44:06):
now today the story on the woman from Seattle, are
we on a or let me take that back. I
won't say we is the Democrats. Are they on a
slippery socialist slope?

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Without question?

Speaker 3 (44:26):
They are?

Speaker 5 (44:27):
Without question they are going down the slippery slope. They
have they I'm going to say, a small minority attached
themselves to a message that they believe is resonating. And
when you live in a bubble and you only look

(44:47):
to those around you that agree with you, then you
are in a very small bubble. And when you refuse
to recognize what happened in the last election, and because
of your Trump derangement syndrome, you will never be able

(45:08):
to pass it. And are they on a slippery slope? Absolutely?
Does that mean that it's to resonate throughout the country. No,
I think it will still remain in a minority I
think that it will be their downfall. There are a
lot of Democrats who have switched to independent and or

(45:30):
Republican simply because they believe that the party has left them,
not that their values have changed, but quite frankly, if
you look at the platforms, the values and the platforms
of the Democrats of the nineteen sixties more equate to
and are in line with the Republican Party and Trump's policies.

(45:56):
So while it is a slippery slope and they to
be jumping on the badwagon, I still think that it's
a small minority. And I think that the percentage, the
last percentage I saw was like twenty three percent approval
or something. Crazy. They are so far down there. I mean,
usually it hovers around the forty you know, forty five
fifty five situation, when the party of the majority, you know,

(46:20):
it is clearly in the lead. But this is just
a blowout. It's just a blowout, So go nuts.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Have at it.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
We'll just create more of a conservative wall.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, do you think do you think that they are
so desperate for a shiny, new, youthful toy, even the
old even the old guard, they're so desperate for some
sort of face that would be the future of the party,
that they're willing to go down this route, which is scary.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
I think it is a I don't know that so
much said it is the future of the party, but
rather the perceived importance and staying relevant. So they were
not in the news for anything, and they have discovered
an issue where they are able to run with it

(47:19):
and be in the news. And everybody wants their fifteen
minutes the same, and that's what they're doing. They're getting
their fifteen minutes the same. That is eventually going to
go off with the cliff and down the side of
a mountain.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Well, okay, so here's what Here's what Warren said on
Monday when she made her appearance with him in New
York City. She said, for me, New York City is
the place to start the conversation for democrats on how
affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be
a Democrat, and that delivering it a on it in meaningful,

(47:53):
tangible ways will touch working families is why we're here. Okay,
So playing Devil's abby kit, affordability is needed for everybody, nobody.
I don't think anybody's disputing that housing and childcare and
groceries should be affordable. But there's a difference between affordable

(48:17):
and the government paying for everything, is there not?

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Oh, there's a difference affordable and free.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Right.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
You know, everybody certainly likes a good deal, and there
are a lot of people who are very frugal, but
that doesn't mean that they want it for free. You know,
I'm certainly up for a goodbye or a good deal,
but I don't want anybody give me anything. And there's
a difference. That's a difference between the socialists and the

(48:46):
capitalistic mentality.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (48:50):
The Republican thing is we don't give away fish. We
teach them how to fish. A difference. There's just a
flat out difference and affordability. You're right, everybody wants to
be able to afford it, but you don't. You don't
get to affordability by taking from the rich and giving
to the core.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Right.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
But that's not affordability, that's distribution of wealth. So you know,
they need to check for economics and figure out what
the lesson is and perhaps study a little bit more well.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
And I think it also has to do with and
this can be you know, sort of stated on on
multiple things. That are we are having issues within our country.
But pride, and what I mean by that is pride
in a hard day's work, you earn a paycheck, and
through that paycheck, you can afford what you can afford. Right,

(49:43):
And we we have a generation, you know, that is
expecting handouts. We are seeing a generational effect of living
off the government. And socialism then in turn appeals to
that mentality.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Well, sure, and when everybody's getting handouts, you know, it
seems great. I think the last what's that I said?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
It seems great to get handouts, but it really isn't.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
No. I mean, I would never want to rely on
my lifestyle or living to be dependent on somebody else
making money. I mean, I make my money. You know,
I can support myself. That's got to be the mentality,
or it should be the mentality as opposed to take

(50:33):
care of me. Now, there are a lot of people
that do that, and you know, that's fine if that's
what they want to do. But I don't want my
budget to be declared by somebody else's handout. Yeah, and
therein lies the difference between a socialist and a capitalist.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Yeah. Yeah, Well, we're not done talking about this. We're
going to go to a quick break. You can hang
on the line for me a little bit longer.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Okay, sure.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
It's eight twenty eight. It's just a reminder. Still plenty
of time. Last call to get in your registration for
free lunch delivered on Fridays. Samat iHeartMedia dot com, name
phone number and company, or of course you can text
us seven zero four seven zero same information. Started off
with bloom Daddy, name, phone number and company. And at

(51:21):
the end of the show, we're gonna have your chance
to win from rafter M. We're gonna jump to a
quick break. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam
and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back, eight
thirty six The bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and OTAs News

(51:45):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. All right, Elgin, of course we're
right in the middle of politics on leads with Elgin McCardell.
I want to go back to the conversation about socialism.
So out of curiosity. First of all, all I did
was google, Okay, has socialism ever worked? This is the

(52:06):
this is the response I got. While some socialist states
achieved initial improvements in areas like health and education. Many
face challenges like economic stagnation, lack of innovation, and authoritarianism.
Not a real good example, not a real good response.

(52:29):
So I don't know if this is the direction to go.
But do you think with Elizabeth Warren standing with him
on Monday, are the Democrats starting to lower the curtain?
Are they saying the quiet stuff out loud? Finally?

Speaker 3 (52:53):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (52:54):
So, what's the quiet stuff that's being how.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
They really think? Hm, the correction they really want to go,
the control they really want to have.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
I don't think that it's lowering curtain. I think it's
been obvious to as thoses on our face. I think
they believe, perhaps that they were trying to deny the
socialism uh part of their party. I think they're trying.

(53:27):
I think they're trying to I think they're trying to
latch on to the socialism policy because they believe it's
resonating where it's not, you know, socialism. I think there's
I will get the quote wrong, I'm sure, but you know,
the money runs out eventually. The people that are working

(53:52):
to support themselves and realize they're working to share their
the fruits of their labor with people who are not working,
they're going to stop working, so that ceases to exist,
so that the concept and the policy or the political
thought process or policy of socialism just it doesn't work.

(54:15):
I think there's the best example that I've seen his students. Okay,
so father says to their kids, you know, work hard,
get your as. All right, Well that's capitalism. Work hard,
you get your a's, you get rewarded. Socialism is okay. Well,
Susan Cae over here hasn't worked, and you know she

(54:36):
really needs to get get along in life. So how
about we just give everybody sees you are for your a's,
but we're going to take your a and share it
the people who have f and everybody gets seized. That's
where it becomes mediocre, and mediocrity is not something that
is someone who is a capitalist wants to settle for,

(54:58):
and they quit working, so the fun will dry up. So,
as you said, it might start out okay, and it
might be an increase until people realize that I'm not
going to share my hard labor, and that's solody who's
not working. It's just not going to work.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Yeah, well, and that takes me right into too let's
go to Nancy Pelosi. She has her name on a
bill sort of not necessarily the most flattering, UH situation,
But okay, so you're talking about money working hard, you know,
do you want to split your share with everybody else?

(55:33):
So it's estimated. I looked at multiple different sources about
the net worth of Nancy Pelosi and her husband combined.
So there's there's different numbers out there, but all the
numbers are well over two hundred million dollars for their
net worth combined. I think they want to share that
with anybody? Probably not? Probably not. So here's why. Here's

(55:58):
why I'm bringing this up. So, the the Pelosi Act
has made its way through UH, through through Congress, and
it is it is slowly making its way through now.
It was a very close vote, but it has moved
on now. This refers to the legislation. The legislation aimed

(56:20):
at banning members of Congress and their spouses from holding
or trading individual stocks and other financial instruments while in office.
Do you agree?

Speaker 4 (56:33):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (56:33):
I agree with that? Where did why did Pelosi introduce this?

Speaker 2 (56:37):
She didn't introduce it? That's yes, yes, yes, benefited from it?
Got it correct? Correct?

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Well?

Speaker 5 (56:46):
Sure, sure, I agree. I mean that's how everybody gets
you wonder how AOC starts out with student loans, out
the yanang from her Boston University college experience and then
now has net worth over a million dollars with one
hundred thousand dollars a year only being in Congress from
two or three terms now, and she has to live

(57:09):
in DC. It doesn't add up things that make you
go hmm. So there is inside insider training that has
been going on, and it you know, heck, Martha Stewart
went to jail for it, but yet if you're in Congress,
you don't get to jail for it. And I think,
you know, I don't know. I don't have the stats,
I don't have the information. I'm sure that lots of

(57:32):
people have benefited from that. Oh yeah, on both sides.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Absolutely absolutely. And that's the thing, listen. I know it's
got her name on it now, it's not officially under
her name, but that is what how everybody's referring the
slang term. Yeah, that's how everybody's referring to it now.
She has stated that she supports this effort to ban
this congressional stock trading. She does support it. But as

(57:57):
you said, a lot of people supposedly have benefited from
something like this, I never realized they should not have.
It's very questionable, let's put it that way. It's it's
kind of a black mark when you see somebody like
used AOC as an example, and then all of a
sudden they're worth huge amounts of money. That's when you

(58:19):
stop and go, Okay, how how is this happening? So yeah,
this this, this is not out of out of left field,
not out of out of the field.

Speaker 5 (58:28):
No, And you combine combine it with lobbyists, you know,
longius who are there and their sole purpose is to
ensure a vote for their particular issue. And so if
they know that that is coming down the pike, and
if they know ahead of time that this is going
to pass or not pass through Congress, then you clearly
have insider information that's going to either make or break

(58:50):
a particular company or stock or investments. So they have
inside track issues and can act upon it, or their
spouses can act upon it, or the financial advisor can
act upon it, and so it's you know, the uh,

(59:12):
there are laws in place, but they don't seem to
apply to everybody. And they should.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
And then and then real quick just to kind of
wrap up our day with you. So we were talking
about the shiny new toy for the Democrats. It came
out yesterday that President Trump says that JD. Vance will
most likely be the next leader in the MAGA movement.
Is he the shiny new toy for the Republicans?

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Oh? I would say it would make sense. It would
make sense. I mean, I think he's doing a great job.
I think it was a good pick. He's young, he's vibrant,
he has the same policies as Trump does, clearly loyal
and understands those things. Plus he's very likable in my opinion.
You know, he comes from grassroots, so to speak, a

(01:00:01):
meager background. Yea, yeah, so he can certainly relate to
the middle America, and I think he would be a
good choice. We're coming up, you know, we're coming up
on the midterms, which we we're halfway through.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
It doesn't even feel like it does it got it goes.

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
So now, no, I mean we're coming up on mid
terms and the I mean that goes to the election
process as well, because the election won't be till November.
But and it's what August, and we're already saying we're
coming up on it. It's still years and months out,
so yeifteen months.

so so so stupid, so oh so irritating, so irritating.

(01:03:57):
So you're getting ready to fly.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Correct, Sure, just tell everybody I'm going to be out

Where'd you go?

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Okay, my apologies.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
They just set me up. Now I get an installing
alarm system in three or four days.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Oh all right, Well a teen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Can pass the dogs. We'll see how that works out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
No, that's true. There was a fifteen year old British
teenager whose journey home from vacation. It actually took an
unexpected turn after he boarded the wrong flight. First of all,
how does that even happen? With the tickets and everything.
He was intending to fly to London the Stanstead airport,
but the boy became separated from his family in the

(01:04:50):
departures area and ended up on the easy Jet plane
to Italy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
What to say about his parents? Like, hey, gee, our son,
he's not in his seat. Well where would he be?
Oh okay, well let's just say he's probably in the bathroom,
doesn't let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
According to police, the airport security cameras captured the footage
of the teen, who's believed to be autistic, slipping onto
the Milan bound flight. The airport's missing child alert was activated.
It was later called off once the boys whereabouts were confirmed.
It doesn't say anything about the parents, let's see. The
airline said it remains in contact with the family to

(01:05:31):
provide support, and the teen's mother was flown to Italy
to reunite with him. But other than that, they don't
say anything about the family. So, I mean, Italy's not
a bad place to end up. I mean, it's not
like he was sent to Morocco or somewhere.

Speaker 5 (01:05:45):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
I guess Morocca is not bad either.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
It's still the fact that a fifteen year old potentially
autistic kid, Like I don't think if I was that parent,
how do you take unless maybe you were in the
restroom and it's just you and him flying you know,
you know mom's in the restroom. You can't take a
fifteen year old boy in the restroom with you. So,
I mean, if something like that would happen, you can.
But if something like that would have happened, then I

(01:06:10):
mean maybe I can understand it. But like, mom, how
do you not have eyes on your child, especially if
they're allegedly autistic?

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Who knows?

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
I would say not up for Parents of the Year.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
Okay, So if a mom loses a fifteen year old,
tell me how. This Florida man has received a two
year probation for simultaneously maintaining marriages to three separate women.
Henry Betsy Junior pled guilty.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
His middle name's Betsy, that's his last name, pled guilty
to bigamy charges after one of his wives, Tanya, discovered
he was still legally married to two other women, Michelle
and Brandon. Being married to one was enough.

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
The three women, all from different Florida counties, had met
and married Betsy through various dating websites over a two
year period. They, of course, were unaware of one another.
The judge credited Betsy for eight days that he's spent
in jail, and also ordered him to undergo a mental

(01:07:16):
health evaluation, amen, complete a certified battery intervention program, and
avoid all contact with his three ex wives. He was
also prohibited from using social media and dating websites. He
recently was arrested in Virginia for assault and battery of
a family or household member.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
But three wives one time? Like I said, one was enough.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Talk about a juggling act. That would be how do
you get three different women to marry you? I gotta
look this guy up. Maybe he's like a Brad Pitt
knockoff look alike. I very much doubt it. I very much.
Let's go, very much doubt it. All right, let's do
our lunch. We have numbers one through twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Two, okay, and I've got it ready to go this
week and we are at number fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Folks, we planned ahead this time. I told him, Okay, okay,
we have Danette Danette, Dinnette or Dinnette either or so
Dinnette Danette. I will be calling you after the show
to discuss how we do that. And then finally, one
eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy for your chance

(01:08:31):
to win a family four pack to rafter m Rodeo.
One eight hundred six two four eleven seventy. Let's do.
Caller number nine. Caller number nine, one eight hundred sixty
two four eleven seventy. Enjoy the rest of your day, folks.
