that's all you have to do.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
What did you say?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
The enthusiasm behind that woo? Who was just it just
completely caught me off, going.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
We love Kirk, we love Judy. Yeah, actually we really
don't care about Kirk. I'm gonna get the brains of
the operation.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm gonna get it earfull on that. I'm gonna get
it earfull on that. You know what else kicks off today?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, yeah, I do, but it's not I don't think
we're talking about the same thing. So go ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I was gonna talk football.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh okay, I was gonna talk blues, but go ahead, Blues.
Blues Fest is this weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh I did not realize. I did not realize. Well,
we didn't want to talk.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Let's talk blues first. Okay, we go football. Three games today.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
We have a game plan, folks.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
We can tell. Yes, they're organized.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, there are multiple, multiple games that are kicking off tonight.
Let's see here, what do we have? The tripleheader kicks
off with the Colts taking on the Ravens in Baltimore.
The Bengals and the Eagles are in Philly, and the
Raiders and the Seahawks are in Seattle. So three games

(02:53):
kicking off to night.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Your Brown's play tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Versus the Panther.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Go down to Carolina, and then the Steelers go down
the Jacksonville. Nothing like playing like in what wouldn't you
come to like Pittsburgh and Cleveland where you know, like
Jacksonville's probably like ninety five and humidity is the same
ninety five, like.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
You're on the surface of the sun. Yeah, because you
imagine all that equipment that's hot.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
That's Carolina. You know that low humidity there too.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
So will we see Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean he said he's happy to suit up, you know,
so I mean, let's and he normally does not play preseason.
But you know, I mean I get it. You're with
a new team. You don't you maybe don't have that
feel and that vibe yet. So if you go in
for a couple series, just kind of rhythm with your
work with work with your center, work with your line

(03:48):
a little bit, so you know, get the field. I mean,
you can do wherever you can do everything in practice,
it doesn't give you the game feel. I mean as
a former, I mean even though we're only high school athletes,
you know, the you can scrimmage against each other, then
you start to learn like everybody's little weaknesses or their

(04:08):
strengths or whatever. If you go into a scrimmage against
somebody else, well, now you're you're in game mode, and
it just gives you a different feel, a different vibe.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's a different atmosphere, it's a different different.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Vibe, in different mentality, you approach it differently.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, and then part of it is, like you said,
a new team, a new new teammates, a new center,
especially for a quarterback, it's building that what's the word
I'm looking for, rapport? You know, getting that getting that movement,
that flow between the two players, especially the quarterback and

(04:46):
the center.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, and your adrenaline is normally a little higher on
game day than it is in practice. So you know
that running back maybe maybe he's that half a second faster,
or you know, he's that step quicker than he is
in practice. So you know everything that you've done in
practice is now thrown off a little bit. Yeah, so
now now you get a feel for your your teammate

(05:09):
in game mode.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah. Well and okay, so Aaron Rodgers is forty one.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Right, I believe so. Yeah, I think I can tell
you this. He's the oldest player in the league.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Okay, okay, so now listen Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay. He's
sat on the bench a couple of years behind three
seasons behind two or three? Yeah, behind far. He's won
one Super Bowl, believe, I believe. Yeah, I get it.
He has had some you know, viral plays. There's video
out there. He's won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I have never his numbers are great?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Are they? Though?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Are they that groundbreaking that he gets the admiration he gets,
the place on a pedestal that some people put him.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh, I think he's one of your top quarterbacks. I
mean maybe I don't think he's I don't think he's
at his peak, but I think you still have to
give him his respect. I mean, he's a future Hall
of Famer. I mean his numbers are up there, you know,
but in today's in today's world, it's all based on championships,
which is stupid because you can be the Look at
Ernie Banks. He's Hall of Famer, Hall of fame shortstop

(06:22):
from the Cubs, never never made the playoffs, was the
MVP one year when when this would have never happened
in today's day and age, he was the MVP one
year and they were the worst team in baseball or
one of the worst teams in baseball. Okay, so you know,
I mean in today's day and age, Oh, you have
to be on a winning team, and you have to
do this. If you're the guy that's carrying the team,

(06:44):
you're the most valuable player. Like if they won eighty
nine games, or let's say they won seventy games that year,
and he was the reason they won sixty eight of them,
and you're the MVP.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I just I Okay, maybe it's just me. I've
just never I never gotten the allure of him.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
But I mean, he's a strange bird too.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, yeah, he's a unique character. But I will say this.
I just pulled up some of his records. So Rogers
became the fifth player in history to reach five hundred
career regular season touchdown passes. Okay, Since two thousand and eight,
he's thrown one hundred and six touchdown passes with at
least twenty air yards multiple league leading seasons, has led

(07:28):
the league in touchdown to interception ratio six times.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
So you're just say these numbers are great.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, his numbers are great. I just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
But in today's day and age, we base everything on
wins in championships, and sometimes you could be the best quarterback.
Look at Archie Manning. Archie Manning was a great quarterback.
He was on a crappy team.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Look at Dan Marino.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well Marino made it to the Super Bowl at least once.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, yeah, I was thinking he's never won.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I guess, But I mean, I mean, you're right,
you know. I mean, and then you have you know,
I mean you look Tom Brady. Tom Brady, I mean
he had people arounding too. You can't do you're not
doing it by.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yourself right in his thirties. When I saw I saw
something the other day because he made some sort of
post was it Monday, where people were speculating that he
was hinting around that he was going to come back.
He was on the field at the Raiders camp because
he's now a partial owner of the Raiders somehow how much,

(08:29):
I don't know, but there was all this speculation. But
there was a graph where his accomplishments in his twenties,
his thirties, and his forties, and of course the middle.
In the timeframe his thirties he was more successful, but
like my point is to your point, in that time
frame during his thirties, he was surrounded by an amazing

(08:51):
chart of players, which then made him look absolutely fantastic. Yeah,
so Thikobaka comeback.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, he's making too much money now he'll be sitting
in a wheelchair at a certain point.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Please say, oh yeah, he might come back. He might
come back. We're gonna talk more football when we get
back because we've got stuff on college ESPN. We got
a bunch of stuff. So it is seven point fifteen.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Just a reminder, ice cream Friday.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Ice cream Thursday Thursday. Don't forget m rafter Ram and mccormicks.
So we got a busy stuff ahead of us. Seven
zero four seven zero is our text line started off
with bloom Daddy. That is your registration for your chance
to win Kirk's seven sixteen. We're gonna jump to a
quick break the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis News

(09:40):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA Welcome back, seven twenty one. The
bloom Daddy experience. Excuse me, News Radio eleven seventy wwe.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
You waited till we were back in the air before
you just to cough.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
It just hit me. It wasn't a cough. It was
like a frog in my throat.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
You know what we really need to address. No, no,
because I said we're afraid.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
No.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
We said we talk about it today because obviously people
listen to our show because they don't work on Thursdays.
Oh yes, So you know it's funny that people in
this valley call themselves journalists, oh oh, and then take
a story that we broke like six weeks ago and
then make it seem like it's their own. I mean,
that's that's great journalism, right. Yeah, you know, because here's
the thing. We actually have proof of when we broke

(10:32):
the story since we have podcasts, so you can actually
go back and find the date on a date and
find when we did the story and realize that maybe
you didn't break it. So you know, I mean, if
you're going to claim something, I mean, first off, your
your whole life's a lie, you know, because you just
make stuff up, and you know, you do all these things,

(10:53):
and you called yourself a journalist when you actually don't
do anything except make stuff up or embellish. You will
take a topic and you'll embellish it because that that
happened firsthand. When you don't have the facts. He's like
a democrat if you know, whether they say if if
you have the if you have the facts, pound the facts.

(11:15):
If you don't have the facts, pound the table and
he pounds. He pounds the table a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I got you.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, just I was just if
you want to hear it first, you're going to listen here,
especially if you know. We're not going to talk about
culverts and stuff like that unless you know, unless.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's I've talked about potholes, We've.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Talked about it. But I mean, if if there's something
that is it's affecting people, where there's there's something that's big,
yeah we will. But we're not just going to do
it because we can't. We don't. We don't really do
any journalism.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
All I was going to say was you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
You can say whatever you want. I said what I
said for for.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
The work that that that I did. I was going
to say, you're you're welcome for for all of that.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
And I gave you credit because you have been head
first into the East Ohio stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yes, and since last year.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
And you were you were very diligent when this Ramsey
guy came in and you were doing you weren't just
doing homework, you were doing extra credit and homework.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yes, yes, So I went down the rabbit hole. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
and have continued to by the way, which gave you
when did I do the update Monday or Tuesday? Gave
you the update of everything. I'm not going to go
into it again because as you said, you can go
back to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
And when we broke it.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, to the update on Monday, and which basically is
it's still a sketchy situation. The official deed of purchase
has not been filed with the county. Has this guy
actually bought the hospital? They are calling and asking you
to pay bills with no proof. There's a lot of questions.

(12:55):
There's a lot of questions, and I brought to you,
of course first, as Otis said, the questionable final report
the curd Al Law office out of New York City,
the questionable situation. There there's a lot of stuff surrounding
this story. And I have my theories about what is
actually happening, and I've presented that to you multiple times.

(13:20):
But again I will just uh, addressing what otis brought up.
I will just say you're welcome for our my our
hard work.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
It's easy to come in.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Second, it's easy to come in six seven, eight weeks
later and bring it up.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh you know he probably had to listen to the
podcast thirty times before we got all the information correct.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Well, no, we actually had to probably get some cookies
first to you.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Know, yeah, and hand out business cards.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, you know people, people aren't getting paid, but you know,
here's here's a free I feel pretty good about that
right now. Yeah, okay, well we got that off our chest.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, so there you have it. And if you can't
figure it out, textus. We'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
We have a text sign.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I already had a text on my personal phone saying
was it this one or this one? So I answered
the question.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
We do have a text line seven zero four seven
zero started off with bloom dandy, and you can leave
us any message you would like to leave us, but we.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Can't return it.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah we can't.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
We can't. Oh sweet, yes we can't. I don't know
that I don't know how that works. You're like the okay,
we'll go there.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
You heard that first, ladies and gentlemen. I refer to
myself as a savant. He agreed, absolutely, But I can't
clean windows.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, so many streaks. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I decided yesterday no, I cleaned our windows. And I
was all excited this morning to tell him, do you
notice anything different here in the studio? Can you see
me clearer through the window? And he goes, no, there's
big giant streaks, and there are and there are, so
I can't clean windows.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
It was I think it was cleaner yesterday. I think
it was cleaner before you cleaned it. I'm looking at
it right now.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh okay, So anyways, let's go to a let's go
to a positive story. So we were talking about football.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
We did have positive stories, okay, positive for us.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well that's true. Yeah, yeah. We chewed on our own
we chooted our own horns a little bit. We were
talking about football and preseason kicking off tonight for the
NFL wanted to highlight this, this is a great story.
Twelve year old a twelve year old young man named
Jace Garland. He's battling bone cancer. So I love what

(15:35):
the Panthers did for this young man. Again, he's twelve
years old, he's battling bone cancer. They signed him to
an honorary contract where he was able to participate in
a scrimmage game as a part of the Make a
Wish series. He of course is a huge Panthers fan.

(15:56):
I feel your pain, Chase as a Browns fan. He
got to hold his own press conference, he took questions.
He sat there, which is hilarious. He sat there with
a jar of pickles and somebody asked, you know, what's
with the pickles next to you? He said, it's part
of his NL NIL deal. Yeah, he got to in college.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
But that's okay. He's having fun with it.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah. But the players, of course, we're all involved. He
got to score his first rushing touchdown. So just just
a bit.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Of a good story. That's always good. Whether it's a
special wish, make a Wish, whatever, they're all good.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, they all do wonderful things. So congrats to this
twelve year old, and you know, kudos to the Panthers
organization for doing that.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Absolutely all right.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
When we get back Teresa Capudo, she's here this Sunday,
we talked to her seven twenty eight the bluem Daddy Experience.
Samon Otis, Welcome back to The Blue Experience. I'm Sam,
He's Otis here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA listen.

(17:06):
I love this job and this coming up next is
one of the main reasons I love doing this job.
I get the opportunity Otis both of you, both you
and I get the opportunity to speak to interesting, fascinating
and amazing people.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Absolutely, and this.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Morning coming to the show, you know her as the
Long Island Medium. Please welcome Teresa Caputo to the show.
Good morning Teresa.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Good morning Sam, Good morning Otis. It's a pleasure to
be with you all this morning.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
So I'm gonna go right off the bat. I want
to ask you, psychic medium, how do you prefer to
be referred to? What is the best way to explain
your gifts?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
I guess the medium. I'm really a small but you
know what, call me a medium. I know that I
have the ability to communicate with people that have died.
You know, I think there's a lot of misconceptions on
a actually what I do sometimes with people. I have
the ability to communicate with people that have died. I
don't tell people what to do with their lives, any

(18:09):
decisions predict anything. And I want people to leave my
shows knowing that their truly is more to life than
just here in the physical world. Heaven is for real,
and more importantly, that the things that go on around
them that they think that are odd or weird or
coincidence or just reminds them of their loved one that
has died, to know that it truly is their loved

(18:31):
one soul, giving them a little hello from heaven and
reminding them that their living life through their eyes at
that exact moment.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
A little hello from Heaven. I love that statement. I
love that. What a great way of putting it.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
What a goody.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
So you are visiting us here in Wheeling, West Virginia
on August tenth at the Historical Capital Theater, which was
built in nineteen twenty eight. I don't know if you're
aware of the history behind the building you're going to
be performing in.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
Honestly, Sam, all of these buildings that I perform and
they are all historics, They all have energy, they all
have a history, and that is what I love visiting
all of these places all over the country, and sometimes
I do pick up other more things in certain places
than others. So we'll see what happens.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Well, it is rumored that the Capitol Theater has a ghost,
and some people in our offices have seen the ghost.
I have not. I don't know if Sam had. So
the bottom line is it is allegedly haunted. I guess
would be the word.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well, you know, look, sometimes souls just make their presence
known that they're still there. You know, I refer to
them as the souls of the departed. Ghosts is too
scary for me.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, we don't want to go down that route. But
Sue a little bit of your history. I mean, you
were a Long Island mom and and you have now
become where you're at between you know, the Long Island Medium,
your newest show, Raising Spirits, the podcast, now the tour
that you're doing. Could you have even imagined the first

(20:13):
time you had your first interaction, I guess with a
spirit of somebody you would be where you are today?

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Oh God, no, Never in a million years did I
ever think where I would be here today. You know,
you have to understand I am still a Long Island mom.
I still live right next door to my parents, the
house that I grew up in right next door, And
I've sensed and feltings since the age of four, and
I always thought that everyone was seeing and feeling what
I did. And because I come from a very spiritual

(20:45):
family and a strong faith family, I am a practicing Catholic.
And I always say, even though they don't agree with
what I do, they take my money every week. But
that's a different story that because because faith is huge
in the world that I do, I know that my
gift is guided by God. And a lot of people
after the luck of a loved one, they lose their faith,

(21:08):
they lose faith in themselves. Maybe it is a religion,
and that's something that the work that I do gives
people faith, hope, and peace, and that is my wish
for people. And it wasn't until I was almost thirty
that I realized that not only did I have the
ability to connect with my own loved ones, but everyone else's.
And I struggled with my gifts for a long time

(21:30):
because I couldn't understand, well, if everyone has the ability
to connect with their own loved ones, why would they
want to come and see a medium? But what I've
learned is that unfortunately, sometimes people leave the physical world
and we hear in the physical world are left with
burdens and guilts. We're left with negative emotions that do
not give us the ability to heal. So the work
that I do is about healing, giving us permission in

(21:52):
a sense to live life with as much happiness and joy,
knowing that our loved ones our living life through our eyes,
and just to embrace those little signs from them.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
How do you how do you personally take that on?
Because having these delivering these messages to people here in
the in the physical world, like you said that, you
have to take on a lot of emotions, not only
from the person sitting in front of you, but the
person that you're communicating with that can't be seen. How

(22:23):
do you personally handle.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
That's I was made this way. I believe in know
that this is my soul's journey, and I was built,
my physical body was built to do this work. Because
I am going to tell you, I'm starting to get
emotional because I make what I do look very easy,
and it's the hardest thing that I have to do
is to stand in front of someone and have their

(22:46):
departed loved ones take us on this emotional rollercoaster of
feeling pain, sorrow, and then I want them to give
us the gifts of laughter, bring like that permission to
embrace life. And it's the hardest thing that I have
to do, but I wouldn't trade what I do for
anything here in the physical world, because I hear from

(23:08):
the people that have gotten read or just watched my
show or read my books on how it has restored
their life. How some people didn't want to live anymore
and they came to one of my shows and they
found a purpose and a meaning for their life, and
it gave them the strength to live their life. How
many people I just recently, probably about two months ago,

(23:29):
a gentlemen come up to me and he said, and
he was crying, and he said, I have to thank you.
He said, because I lost all my faith and I
was angry at God, and I came to one of
your shows and I went back to my face, and
I need to thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Again. We're talking to Teresa Caputer. There's going to be
here at the Capital Theater August tenth. Has there ever
been a message that was so shocking or emotional that
you did not deliver to somebody here on the physical
plane that you held back.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
No, I have to deliver every message for instance that
I mean, they are countless stories, Sammy. I mean, I
I could go on and on, but this, this just
recently happened. I saw three children lying in a bed
in a row and I just kept hearing like fireworks.
And I asked the woman in front of me, I said,
did you lose a child? And I said, did they

(24:29):
show me that they passed all together? And she said
that her ex husband murdered her three children lying in
a bed face down and shot them. Oh, well, they slept,
you know, I mean, you know these are things that
you know, I would never imagine in the world ever

(24:50):
having to channel. You know, channeling someone's child is the
hardest thing that I have to do because no matter
who we lose, death changes us. But are is what
carries us, and it reminds us that their love never
leaves us. And that is what I work, the work
that I do, the premise that I work off of.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
And again you're visiting us here and Wheeling on August tenth.
For those who are coming to the show, what can
they what can they expect? What are they going to
get to experience with you.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I'm an evening of faith, hope and peace. You know,
I'm going to probably show up with my hair done,
fabulous shoes.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Good nails. The nails will be done too.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
Oh my nails. But I don't know what's going to happen.
That's the you know, That's the thing I still say
to myself after all these years. I'm literally when I'm
when I'm preparing for my show, doing my meditation, saying
my prayers behind stage before walking out, I literally say
to myself, sometimes you're crazy, Teresa. I have no idea

(25:56):
what's going to happen. You know, any performer has some
type of set or like, you know, some type of
program that they're going to follow. I have none. All
I know is that I have between ninety and one
hundred and twenty minutes to deliver and channel the souls
that it departed, and that is it.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, it will be absolutely fascinating and you need to
join Teresa August tenth.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Again, I can tell you this. I can tell you this, Teresa.
We get a lottery quest for tickets for shows because
we have a lot of shows here at the Capitol Theater.
Your show is probably the most requested for people wanting
tickets to see.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, it's an amazing experience and honestly, I would like
to invite both of you as a guest just to
come and experience it, because it is an experience. It
is something that you will probably never attend in your
life ever again. To be in a space and to
feel energy and to watch to watch someone feel in

(26:55):
front of you is absolutely it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Well I I will take you up on that offer, absolutely,
Thank you so very much.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Just yeah, just reach out to have a set up
the interview and I'd love to and love to meet
you in person. And because when I come back to
Wheeling that you have something to refer to, there we go.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, there you go. Makes it makes our job a
lot easier.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, Teresa, thank you, thank you so much for this morning,
for jumping on with us. Can't wait to see you
August tenth here in Wheeling at the Capitol Theater and
hopefully somebody out there will get their very own Hello
from heaven. Teresa. Have a great day. Thank you again.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Oh, thank you you guys too, Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Teresa Capudo here on the bloom Daddy Experience. Welcome Back,
seven fifty two The bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA A little housekeeping, Well, no,

(27:56):
not housekeeping, I'm sorry, just want to let everybody know.
On our text line, we received this message that for
seventy eastbound is currently at a standstill with traffic. There
is an accident by the bridge on the Ohio side.
So again, heads up as you travel this morning, as
you're leaving your work door to go to work, for

(28:17):
seventy eastbound is at a standstill. There is an accident
by the bridge on the Ohio side.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
So that's always good. With the construction there as well.
So I mean, you know, it's already a mess even
though it's two lanes and everything, but it's still it's
still a little tricky at times.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, so it heads up, give yourself a little extra
time if you are traveling in that direction. Not the
only text we get, No, not the only text. Real
quick before you get to that. If it is moving
or if there is an update on this situation, please
let us know so we can pass it along, just
like this person did to let us know what is happening.
Our text line is seven zero four seven zero. You

(28:54):
start the message off with bloom daddy, so please give
us an update now, otis you mentioned some text that
we received during our interview with Teresa Capudo.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
And I would say more than a handful.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
More than a handful, but I will, I'll, I'll just
read one to you. It says you're right. You were
on top of the East of Higher regional story from
the get go. Excellent work. That guy in quotation marks
was busy spending an hour or two telling us, telling
our two hours telling everyone where they can hear him.

(29:26):
Keep up the good work. So thank you to that.
And we got many other ones, but we'll leave it
at that.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah, and you've want to if you want to hear
how we broke the stories on Ramsey and his people
the question on our podcast, Yes, back from in June.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Maybe me, No, it would have been June because the
announcement of the air quotes purchase was June twenty first
or twenty second or something.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
We need we need to start like having people put
that loads the podcast for us, like so like what
the big topic of the day, So like they we
would put like Teresa Caputo if we do an interview
or something like that to list those. Yeah, because when
I used to put the podcast up, I would do
it by segments as opposed to just one long podcast,
and then I would put, like, who the guests were that.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Segment, kind of give a little yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
So that way, if you know, so, like if we
were just talking about East Ohio, then I would just
put East E E O Orrin and just and then
that way people would know. But that's what we were
talking about in.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
That segment, so you could go straight to it.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
And I like it better that way because that way
you don't have to listen to the whole show. And
it's if somebody says, hey.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
We want them to listen, I understand.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
But what I'm saying is, but some people just want.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
To hear, i know, in particular interviews.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
And if you have that in there, you don't like
somebody will said, well, what date was it? Well, we
don't know if it was June tenth or June fourteenth
or June sixteenth or whatever.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, But so when people don't want to listen to
us ramble like.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Now, yeah, absolutely, hey, you want to hear about a
parent of the year, I guess this would be fun
foster parents of the Year.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Oh, okay, this is either going to be really good
or a.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Real doozy of a So there's a Missouri foster parent allegedly
traded a child for a monkey. I'mould have traded one
of my kids for a month.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Okay, where was this Missouri?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, in Lincoln County, Brenda Deutsch. She was initially indicted
for abuse or neglect of a child and endangering the
welfare of a child. She was arrested after reportedly taking
the child to Texas and leaving her there in exchange
for the exotic animal. Wow, Like you think it's going
to be easier to take care of a monkey than

(31:40):
a kid. Might be cheaper, but it's not going to
be easier.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Well nay, if you keep him in your house. They
wear diapers all the time.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yeah, you're never going to get out of that cycle.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, the kids at least grow up hopefully, and our
potty trained her out of diapers. Yes, I'd love to
have a monkey. I wouldn't trade a kid for a monkey.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I'd love that you don't have any kids to trade,
that's true. Yeah, would you trade one of your dogs
because it would probably attack your dog? Especially as small
as they are. There might be one, they said, you know,
they said, if you there was a TV show BJ
and the Bear back in the seventies, Greg Eagan, he

(32:17):
was also on My Two Dads. Anyway, that's an eighties
that might be your real I remember.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
My Two Dads, So anyway, that has a different meeting nowadays.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
But BJ and the Bear. Greg Evergan's character BJ was
was a truck driver, semi truck driver, because that's when
the CB stuff was real big and everything is well.
Bear Bear was the monkey. It was his copilot, so
to speak, and you know the way they portrayed it
and everything else. But he said in an interview that

(32:45):
the monkey was you have to you have to break
the monkey. It was a chimpanzee, so you had to
break it from being the It wanted to be the alpha.
And he said it started to like attack him, and
he said he just punched it as hard as he
could in the face. And he said that he was
that chimpanzee knew that he was the alpha. So just
I mean, I just remember reading that somewhere. I don't

(33:08):
remember if it's like a flashback or you know, whatever,
but I just remember reading that and he said that
you had to Oh they mean they can be well,
they can bite your face off, like.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Oh yeah, that poor woman that had the face transplant.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
You know. I mean, I've always wanted a monkey, but
then once I realized what some.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Of the the three percussions.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, like, I mean, I don't know if I could
take it.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
My brother, this is funny. He would kill me. He
got attacked by a baboon.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Of course, we've always got the story with Bill Carpenter
and the orangutang. That's true, We have that on tape.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's true. No, my brother, when he was gosh four,
we went to a zoo and it was one of
those drive through zoos. He reached through that monkey grabbed him.
It's funnier than that. I'll tell it some other time.
We're up against a hard break. Give Bill Carpenter a
run for his money. Seven fifty eight The bloom Experience
Here on news radio eleven seventy wwva.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Z number one Tuck Show in the Ohio Valley. This

News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. As you head out the
door this morning, if you are traveling eastbound on for seventy,
just to let you know, thanks off, Yeah, get off.

(34:52):
There is a standstill of traffic. So again, if you
are traveling eastbound on four seventy, there is a affic backup.
The accident is by the bridge on the Ohio side
and Otis we talked about it. There's a lot of
construction going on right there, so maybe make other alternative plans,
different directions, but just aheads.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Up, a guy seventy instead of four to seventy.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yeah, if you are traveling that day, and.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
If you're on for seven to get off, what is
it two fourteen?

Speaker 6 (35:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
That were you to get to go to your joint?

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yes, would you like to give well.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
I'm not giving you I mean, listen, it's amazed to
get to your house anyway. So I mean, if you're
not on to fourteen, no, So I mean I'm not
giving away any secrets. I mean I didn't tell them
that you live at six eighty two seven.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Four is that paid back for yesterday in my airport comment?

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, no, but yeah again it's easy access
into her house by the way at this point in time.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Actually, no, it's not.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
You gotta fix Well it's not fixed, but you corrected
that issue.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Somebody drove into your garage.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yes they did, Yes, they did. That was it?

Speaker 3 (36:02):
And it wasn't you or your husband?

Speaker 2 (36:04):
No, it was not.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
So just so just to put out there that there
wasn't your bad driving, which is normal.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
It was somebody at our home doing some work and
it was a complete accident. Because found out the person
that did it, there is a recall on their vehicle,
so the the incident that happened was not of this
person's fault, and you know there's something going on with
the vehicle. But yeah, that was fun to come home
to Tuesday. Was you know my garage door looked like

(36:32):
a taco.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
I went for a ride with a friend last night.
We didn't even go three hundred feet and they were
like backseat driving, so like that. I was like, we're
not even on the road and you're already complaining.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I hate my husband does that to me all the time.
He will not drive anywhere.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
But we were in an alley and so there's an
intersecting alley, okay, and it was like, glad you stopped
to see if any traffic was coming. And I'm like,
there's it's an alley. I mean there's probably not. There's
people that don't even know this exists.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's not a six lane highway. Now, my husband, he
he criticizes my driving constantly, and he loves to say, I.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Can understand why I've seen you drive.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm a good driver, but he loves he loves to
do this to me. I'll be sitting there waiting to
make say, turn off the highway or whatever, and he'll
go loy loy, like my head's in the clouds. I'm like,
it's so, and I'm like, do you want to drive? Well,
now I don't want to drive, fine, then sit back

(37:42):
and shut up.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's all I can say is if you ride with me,
buckle up because there's no grass growing under the tires.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Oh oh, speaking of talking about vehicles, so the potemobile
became I know, we're talking about vehicles.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
The vehicle interesting but okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Well we're gonna roll with it.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Or is it a.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Pizza delivery mobile because Pope Leo received a surprise gift.
Up Hope received a surprise gift while appearing before a
crowd at the Vatican. Some people from Illinois brought him
a box of Chicago pizza. So the Pope is getting

(38:29):
gift after gift. After that, that's a long They did
not make the twenty the the the window, so they
had to pay the delivery charges.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I mean, you figure you fly in from Chicago to Rome,
that pizza's got to be cold by the time you
get there. I don't care what kind of bag you
put it in. How do you get that on the
plane because normally you don't get it. I don't know
if you can get that through the TSA checkpoint.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Did you put it in the undercarriage or the you
put it in your suitcase the storage Yeah, not the
overhead though.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
No, you put it in your suitcase. Then you're closed
like pizza, which not maybe not be a bad.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Thing, depending on where you're going.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
And then, of course depends on and then the box
gets all greasy and then you get those stains on
everything that you have. Yeah, that's a that's a good move.
Or there on the pizza or.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
This you ship it to yourself to the hotel you're
staying at in Vatican City via I don't know, FedEx, Internet,
some sort of international Yes. Well, yeah, because there are
people who.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
You imagine what that would cost.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Oh my god, it would be ridiculous. But you'd need
a blessing from the Pope for reimbursement.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
But you need a little more now.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, but people here will ship defolies. You can family
members that have moved from out of town.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
You can ship the Carlos and Patsy's. And there's pizza.
You can ship pizza all over the place. Yeah, they'd
pack it in dry ice normally.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
What it is, well, they would do it's.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Normally it's normally like it's not fully cooked.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
That would be to kind of the same same premise,
I guess. But no, that's that's on top of my goodness.
What else is he received? He's received, uh, the DA
Bear's T shirt and everything else. So this this pope
is he's different. He's different in different in fun, different

(40:24):
in fun. Yesterday, if you tuned in, which by the way,
if you didn't, you can go and listen on our podcast.
You know, I talked a little bit about employment and
the issues that people are having, and then also the
demands that the younger generation of workers have. Not going
to get back into that deeply, but this came up
uh in some work this morning and it kind of

(40:46):
ties along with that. I wanted to mention it. So
in China, young adults, this is a new one. This
is a new one. Young adults are using pacifiers, pacifiers
as a way to cope with anxiety, sleeplessness, in every
day pressures. Yes, you heard me right, they are using pacifiers, binkies,

(41:12):
whatever other nickname that you have for a pacifier. There
are adults who are using these to cope with life
as adults. Could you imagine otis if I walked in
here in the face with a pacifier or a first.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Off, I'd say, what in the f are you doing? Well?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Don't they know? It just ruins your teeth, gives you
buck teeth.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Well, you know where you see a lot of passifiers
and with adults too, there's rave parties. But that's because
because here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
If they still do rave parties.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I'm just saying, like, if there's a whatever drug, I
think it's ecstasy, if you take that, like you're there's
like you have to have something. There's you drink a
lot of water and then like they put the pacifiers
in for something I can't remember, but the drug does something, dries.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Your mouth out or something.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Oh well, these these adults are using it to cope
with anxiety, sleeplessness, and pressure.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
If you're if you're an adult, if you're an adult
with a passifire, you get bigger problems.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Again, this is in China. This is not here. This
is in China.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
You never know. If it's not here. Well, somebody will
hear this story and they'll be going, Man, that sounds
like a great idea.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Oh good, Hopefully we've inspired somebody. But if the pacifiers
don't do the trick, maybe McDonald's can help. Because McDonald's
is bringing back adult happy meals, maybe they'll come with
a pacifier as the toy. The McDonald land meal includes
a quarter pounder with cheese what was it? What's the

(42:48):
pulp fiction line? Royale with cheese, quarter pounder with cheese,
or a ten piece chicken McNugget fries, and the new
limited edition Mount McDonald land Shake. It's a blue shake
with pink whipped cream.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Pass Although the quarter pounder is the only sandwich at
McDonald's at AOUI because it's actually a fresh burger besides
a breakfast sandwich.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Oh, it does come with a collectible ten of Ronald McDonald,
Grimace or the Hamburgler on it. See, you don't necessarily
get a toy, but you get something. Oh you're laughing.
I can't say it, Okay, damn darn. I wish we could.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Say it now. Well, you could say part of it,
but you can't. It's just the innuendo is too too much.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Man our text nine times out of ten, it's like that.
It's eight point fifteen. Let's do it. Your first chance
to win this morning, Your first chance to win fifty
fifty dollars to mccormicks down in Glendale, one hundred and
sixty four eleven seventy, Collar number twelve, color number twelve
one eight hundred six two four eleven seventy. And don't

(44:04):
forget Kirk's on our text line seven zero four seven zero,
name and phone number.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
I didn't realize English was your second language.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
It just just, you know, the tongue just didn't work.
The bloom Daddy experienced salmon otis well, now you show
that to me. Now, welcome back to the bloom Daddy Experience.
Salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Okay, So on

(44:35):
Fridays we always have some fun topics to hit on.
So we're gonna give it to give it to you
early this morning so you can start thinking about it.
I'm gonna post this, of course on our Facebook page.
But here are our questions. Are our question for tomorrow,
which is what band would you not go see even

(44:57):
if the tickets were free?

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Band? Or or artist?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Band or artist musician? Okay, so that is our first question.
So you get free tickets and it's a band or
an artist, you wouldn't even go because you can't stand
them that much. I have three of them with the
with even the tickets free. So that's our first question.
Our second question is is there a food you wouldn't

(45:23):
try even one bite of if you were going to
be paid one hundred bucks? Not even a single byte
of something for one hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
And don't count something that you could be allergic to,
or that you can't have because of your medications or
something like that. I mean, it would be something that
you just don't want even if you take everything off
the table. So allergies, medications, you know, restrictions, whatever, take
all that off the table.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Couldn't bring yourself to try it.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
So like right now, I can't. I'm not allowed to
eat oysters or grapefruit.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
So because you're because of medication.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Because of the grapefruit, because of my medication. The oyster
is because of my transplant. So I've had oysters before,
I'm just not allowed to eat them anymore. So, and
it's it's in anything with me, it's anything raw. So
because there's too many, too much bacteria and a bigger
risk of infection.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Yeah, so take take all of that off the table.
It's just you wouldn't even try it, just because.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
You can't even I think I've tried.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I have an entire list.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Just about anything really. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Well yeah, haven't you had like Rocky Mountain oysters you've
had on the show. Yeah, you've had some odd weird stuff.
So those are the questions we're gonna have tomorrow on Friday.
So again, I'm going to post that on our Facebook page.
And you're laughing once again.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Well, here's the thing, the question about the artist that
you wouldn't go even if you had free tickets. Mango's Barn.
It's a local band. Our friend Bucks in the band
and said, Mango's Barn. Loll. They're actually they're actually an
OK band. They're not bad for local. For local, I
mean they're not getting any recording contracts, no offense, Buck Wow,

(47:07):
you might get one. I don't know. But but they're
pretty good though.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
But those are for tomorrow. Those are for tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
So we just had some fun with that.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, we just wanted to give you a heads up
that those are the questions that we're going to have
tomorrow tomorrow. I want me to sing for you.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
No, absolutely not. And I will say this that I
have two bands that would be on my list from
day one.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
The third band made the list because of their political comments.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Okay, so I can guess possibly, but but.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
We will and they're all rock and roll Hall of famers.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Oh okay, well we get We will get into all
of that tomorrow. Back to football. So this these two,
these two hit a little bit closer to home. Uh
WVU football players, four of them in fact, have filed

(48:04):
suit against the nc double A to extend their athletic eligibility.
The players are arguing their junior college years should not
count against their four seasons of college participation. Hearing is
scheduled for August nineteenth to determine if they can play
during the upcoming twenty five season. The student's attorney says

(48:27):
the nc double A is fighting these cases instead of
providing consistent ruling.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Now one hundred percent agree with what the attorney says.
The NCAA is horrible. There's not a set definition, so
you know what, they might approve eligibility for this guy,
but they won't approve it for this person there. I
don't know. I think it was last year. There was
a college football player that was in his ninth year

(48:53):
of college eligibility, ninth he got red shirted a year.
He ended up with a medical red shirt. There was
something about a transfer, had to sit out. So like
he was in his technically his ninth year of college football.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Had he graduated in just.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Probably four times play football probably four times. I mean,
he had to graduate. And you don't go to college
for nine years and not get the credit you need
to graduate.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Unless you switch. I know people that switch majors over
and over and over.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
But it's even if you switch majors in nine years
you should have.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Something, I would hope or unless you just want to
be a professional student. So okay, so let's go back. Yeah,
and then they end up getting like a basket weaving degree,
which is useless, not that that even.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Exists, but I think the guy, the guy's right, there's
no consistency with the NCAA in there in there, and
I understand that there could be something that comes up
that like, there could be an extenuating circumstance. But let's
let's not go We're not talking about extent. Let's just say, hey, okay,
when it comes to JUCO players, this is the rule
when it comes to transfer first, this is the rule.

(50:01):
You know, when you have open enrollment anyway, basically you
can transfer without sitting out every year. You've already you've
already tarnished your brand.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
So what these players are saying is the years that
they were in a junior college, the year or years, yeah,
should not count against the four years of participation at WVU, right, I.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Mean it would be Let's let's say West Virginia Northern
had a football team. You're competing on basically a level
just above high school, so you know, should that count
against your NCAA eligibility because your credits might not even
carry over to the school.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
That's true, That's true.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
You know, I mean a lot of junior colleges, your
credits will carry a lot of you know, a lot
of community college things like that. A lot will, but
not all of them do. So, you know, I think
you have just look at it now. When it comes
to like baseball and stuff, and some football programs in JUCO,
I mean they are upper level.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
But I think what you're saying is right in the
grand scheme of things. The bigger argument here is just
like the attorney is saying, is the consistency.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Right that every case is a case by case? You know,
how about let's just look at it in a broad sense. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Well, and I hate to say, but the nc double
A is a joke. Well, when it comes to consistency,
they're consistent with certain colleges because they bring in more
money as opposed to others.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
The NCAA is consistent consistently bad.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Yeah yeah. And then just real quick, Ohio State, the
quarterback competition is heating up between Julian Sayan and Lincoln Caine.

And then coming up here very very shortly we're going
to have rafter M Rodeo family four packs. So that
is coming up. Also, Also we were talking about football,
so otis do you watch ESPN? No? Okay, so there
is a huge agreement that uh not unless I have

(53:04):
to kind of the same way that has happened, where
the where ESPN basically is acquiring the majority of acquiring
the NFL network, along with other assets that the National
Football League has.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Is this a done deal from the.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Way I read it, Yes, the deal. Okay, So the
deal will include ESPN acquiring the linear rights to the
league's popular Red Zone channel, which, by the way, I
can't stand the Red Zone channel.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
I would rather watch the red zone than watch a
football game.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Really, I'll see I don't. I don't like.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Because the red zone that's all you need to see.
Because that I don't have to watch all the in between.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
It's the it's the headlines of the games.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
I mean, it's it's the important part.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Yeah, I don't have to watch the the second down
and two run up the middle for three yards.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Right, or they go into the little Tenton.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
On the thirty yard on you know, on your own
thirty Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
All the delayed stuff. Okay, So they're acquiring the Red
Zone channel, and then they're also it also includes getting
ten percent the NFL. Okay, so let's take back that.
Let's take us back. The NFL will get ten percent
equity in the stake of ESPN so you get a little,

(54:22):
they get a little. It's one of those situations. I
will say this, I can't stand ESPN anymore, can't stand it.
I haven't watched it five years, five or six years,
and it's it goes back to COVID, it goes back
to that point in time because that station got so woke,

(54:45):
it got so involved in the political conversation nationally that
I said, that's it. I'm done. I'm done. I go
to a sports channel or I watch a sporting event
because I want to talk sports. I want to watch sports.
I don't want to hear some sports reporters opinion on

(55:12):
something political. I was trying to think of something to
throw out there, Okay, taking the COVID shot or whatever.
I don't want their opinion. And ESPN has continued to
go downhill. Honestly, I think it's almost like the NFL
sold out. The NFL had a good thing going. I

(55:34):
love the morning show that the NFL network has. I
like the people that they have on it. I like
the banter that they have back and forth, and it's
all football. It's all football. ESPN already owns the sec
they are so they are so heavily SEC.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
They own basically the entire college bowl season, right for
the most part, I mean, rather than a handful of game.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
And I just I don't like the fact that one sports.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
And they own the bowl championship series, so they carry
all the playoff games.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
So when it comes to okay.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
So unless it's the Well they carry the Rose Bowl,
but I think there's one, Like if it's the Cotton Bowl,
I think CBS still retains the rights to that one.
But I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Fox doesn't have any bowl games.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
They have bowl games, but they don't have the championship series.
I don't know, Okay, So in other words, when it
gets down to the twelve team playoff, so like even
though they may use the Cotton Bowl for one of
the playoff games, it's technically not the Cotton Bowl, So
the Cotton Bowl would actually be still beyond CBS. And

(56:43):
like the Fiesta Bowl is still on NBC or you know,
there's a couple of they still have the rights to
some of the you know, the college football games, but
they don't have the rights to the playoff.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
It's just too much control by one broadcast company monopoly. Yeah,
so if you think about it, so right now, because
this is the NFL network. Of course football comes front
of mine when it comes to control over sports broadcasting.
Now they're going to pretty much have the majority of

(57:18):
control over the NFL products. CBS. Fox will still have,
of course their rights to carry certain games, but the
message that we're going to be delivered about the NFL
is going to be skewed by ESPN ownership. Now, if
we talk about other sports, the one that sticks out

(57:40):
to me that they don't have a lot of control
in is arch madness.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
They have zero.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Yeah that is CBS.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
No, you're right, it is. Yeah. I was thinking they
had to four playing games, but they don't anymore.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Yeah, it's it's primarily CBS.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Yeah, it's a CBS family of networks. So it could
be TBS, it could be true TV could be oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
The branches. Yeah yeah, I'm trying to think. So baseball baseball.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
Is Fox, Well, Baseball's baseball is a different entity because
you have your re like your local teams are basically
on regional networks. Now, you might be on the Fox
Game of the Week, you could be on ESPN Sunday
Night Baseball, you could be on ESPN Tuesday Night bit
whatever it would be. But for the most part, out

(58:27):
of your one hundred and sixty two games, probably one
hundred and fifty of them are on your regional network,
well in one unless you're the Dodgers of the Yankees
or somebody big.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Yeah. And one of the problems with ESPN that has
turned me off, besides the political stuff, is, like I said,
going back to college football, they are so SEC heavy.
They are in love with Alabama. They've been in love
with Alabama for twenty five years. Listen, Alabama's a successful program.

(58:56):
I'm I'm not knocking on their successes. Yes, should they
be talked about, but they are heavily there's favoritism.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
The SEC is probably the premier conference. I mean it is.
I mean it's it's the best football conference, and then
Big ten is probably second. Big twelve is probably third.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
But it's not evenly covered, is my point.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
But they have the SEC, they own the SEC network.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
That's what I'm saying. There's blatant favoritism. Blatant favoritism. So
as a sports fan, I want to hear them talk
about everything, and they're going to do this more than
likely with the NFL products that they've acquired. I just
think ESPN has completely gone downhill.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
Well it says it says at the bottom of the
article that the agreement between the NFL and ESPN is
going to require federal regulatory approval from the Trump administration.
So this is not a dundee.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
No, it is not. It is not hopefully. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't agree with it.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
I just I just don't it. Again, it comes to
a you know, I mean, BC still has Sunday Air football.
Fox still has a Sunday CBS still has Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
ESPN's an ABC product, correct, Yeah, or ABC's in es
PAN product now because ESO purchase ABC, or they're all
owned by Disney, I believe, so, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Again, So but then you know, now you have Amazon,
and you have there's too many Netflix, I don't know,
you know what, all all the all the streaming services
now that are going to be able to carry a
game here, and then you're gonna have to to be
able to see one game. You're gonna have to have
that streaming service.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
So well, we were talking about it last week. Remember
I was asking you how you you know, what streaming
service do you use for your college football?

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Because at this point in time, I don't use any
well other than I mean, I get CBS on my
Roku and I get NBC on my peacock. After that,
I don't I don't get ABC, I don't get Fox,
I don't get a ESPN.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
But at this point in time, between the NFL and
college football, it is like taking a s a t
of figuring out who is carrying what on what night
and what league. It should not be that hard. It
should not be stressful as a football fan to say

(01:01:15):
this is gonna be on this station.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Well, and then you got ESPN Plus, which is another
streaming service. So even if you have esp access to ESPN,
you don't have access to Plus. Did you get to
pay for that? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yeah? It's become so muddied. It is so hard to follow,
and it's frustrating. It's frustrating as a fan, and it's
not pleasant. But you know what is pleasant your chance
to win.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
Well, Kevin and I have a a good rapport. We'll
say so.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Before we get to our ice cream winner, which, by
the way, we have one through, I'll let you get
the uh the randomizer out. We've got one through. Let
me see her one through sixteen, one through sixteen before
we get to that. Of course, that's our free half

(01:07:20):
gallon of Kirks that. Speaking of ice cream, have you
heard have you heard of Frieda.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
From Abba?

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
No? I guess it's Freeda of our I dare delay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
They make potato chippers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
No talking ice cream.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
Here, Okay, I have not.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Okay, so we've told you Kirk has some fun flavors
every once in a while, I got the cream corn.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Do not trade this on Kirk.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
No, no, no, I'm not no, I'm not asking him
to do this. I'm going to actually say, do not
do this, Kirk. There's a company called Freeda and another
company involved called called odd Fellows. Rightfully, so, they've created
a small batch of ice cream at their New York
based company that is releasing a limited number of breast

(01:08:11):
milk flavored ice cream.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Pass.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Yes, yes, you heard that right, breast milk flavored ice cream.
It's not made with breast milk. It is flavored like that.
So if you want to experiment, if you want to
reminisce if you were breastfed, this is your opportunity to
go back in time and see if it tastes as

(01:08:40):
good as.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
You remember, or if you're if you're if your child's
under one, so weird, so weird. They may not notice
other than the fact that it's cold as opposed to warm.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Oh so weird. Would you try it?

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
No, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
No, there's just something really yeah, something really It just
gives me the willies, really really weird about it's really
weird about it. All right, So you gave me number four?

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Right, No, I gave you number three.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Oh oh my fault. Okay, that is that is Randy. Randy,
congrats you our winner of Kirk's ice Cream. I will
call you after the show to let you know how
we take care of that. It is not breast milk flavored.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
By the way, I told you not to go there, Randy.
I would suggest the lemonberry Keeton pie. What else did
I have? Oh? Yeah, I sampled about six of coconut cream.
Pie was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Did you have the ice cream right out of the machine.
Did you try that while we were.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
There, Not that day. I did when he was doing
Vanilla when we went out for our photo shoot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
There's something different.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
Oh, it's it's it's like right out of the tap.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Yeah, yeah, there's and it's it's I don't know what
it is about it. I don't know what makes it
so good.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
But it's almost like soft serve when it comes out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Yeah, but like it's got a punch, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
It's got a little more flavor. Yeah, flavor's not frozen
at that point in time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yes, that's yeah, that's a good way of saying it.
So Randy, congratulations. I will get a hold of you
when we're done here. Well, that's it, we are done here.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Tomorrow's Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
