Speaker 2 (00:19):
Now, Well, good morning, Happy Monday. Oh, I hope you're
week starting off good. It's a countdown of sorts for
otison myself. I've got four, you've got.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Three, three, two and a half now two.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And a half. So because we are on a countdown
to some well deserved I will say time off for ourselves.
But you're not, you know, out of the woods yet
with us. You're still stuck with us for a couple
more days.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
You got me for three and you for four. Yes, yes,
So my flight leaves Wednesday night.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Wednesday night, Wednesday night. I've never done a night flight,
although you're traveling a bigger distance than myself. But yes,
so the countdown was on. How was your weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
It was good. I didn't have it. I don't have
any complaints.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Busy. You were busy. You were busier than well.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I went to the pirate game Friday night and uh
saw the saw the progy race got to see. Uh,
the Buccoos beat the Reds. Mitch Keller pitched a pretty
good game and went up with the buddy of mine.
We had some fun, you know, just floating around the
stadium doing different things.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
And then.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
And then Saturday nights, my friend Brad hosted his annual shindig.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh yeah, the picnic too.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
It's a party. It's not a picnic. Well, it's called Megapalooza.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is that what it's called. It is a It is
a party to out do every summer party I've seen.
It's quite impressive. You showed me videos this morning.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
It Yeah, not allowed to say much about it other than.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's a good time.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah. I mean this guy that Brad puts on. You know,
you go up and you get a meal and it's
catered and I mean this year's meal was a six
ounce filet mignon and lobster tale that was part of
the main course.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
That was not the burger and hot dogs we had
this weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
No, and you sit down and they have a waiter
where they have a waiter waitress come over and bring
it to you, and I mean it's it's it's first class.
I'm just gonna say that first class.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Very nice, very nice event. My weekend was, uh, my
weekend was busy, but it wasn't fun busy stuff. See,
I have this terrible trait of mine that when I'm
about to travel, my OCD kicks in and my paranoia
and lists and don't forget this and don't forget that,
and I get stressed out and I get overwhelmed, and
as you can tell already, you can hear a tone

(02:58):
of my voice. So that was kind of what my
weekend entailed. But my husband challenged me on packing this year,
so we'll see if I'll be able to uh, to
make that happen. I am I highly highly doubt it.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I think you can do it, you think, I mean yeah,
because you're not taken.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
He does not want to check, doesn't want to check
bag carry on.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
So I volunteered to lean you a carry on bag,
which we have one right, Well, this way you both
have one, so and if you can get you know,
you're talking shorts, T shirts, you're not really you don't
really have flip flops, you don't really don't have a
lot like you're not packing for winter, you're packing summer plays.

(03:43):
So you should be able to get everything.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm the person who overpacks.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, I think everybody does.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I may forget that, so yes.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Just remember this, if you could always buy what you forget.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Possibly depending on where you're going, unless you have medicine,
medicine or something, you have to make sure that you
have that.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
But like if you forget underwear, they sell it everywhere, you.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Don't always need it either.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's true you forget socks, you forget a pair of shorts,
you forget his shirt, You're gonna come home with more
than you went. And I when I went to Newcastle,
England in twenty nineteen, one of the ladies that was
there in support of a friend of ours, Carrie from Maryland,

(04:35):
who had a heart transplant. This was her sister or
sister in law, I can't remember, but she's a travel agent.
And she said, what you do is you pack all
your stuff that you would probably throw away. So in
other words, like oh, I always wear a T shirt
underneath my shirt, so like a tank top T shirt,
white beet or whatever you want to call it. So

(04:56):
I have some that are falling apart, they're stretched out.
I'm packing those. I'm gonna wear them once, I'm gonna
throw them away. That way, I don't bring them back.
And you know, if you have if you have underwear
that the elastics going out or they've got holes or
something in them, then you take those and then boom,
you ditch them. And in socks maybe that you know,
we're wearing thin or and then you take that and

(05:19):
it doesn't sound like it's going to take up a
bunch of room. But if you throw away you know,
five days worth the T shirts, five days worth the underwear,
five days where the socks, you're going to have a
little bit of room in your luggage to bring home
your souvenirs.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah. Well, and one thing I'm trying, I am setting
myself a challenge. And I try to do this every
so often, but this time I'm really going to try
to do it because I'm going to be out of
the country. I'm going to try and completely disconnect, completely disconnect.
I am not taking my laptop. Of course I will

(05:53):
have my phone, but where I'm going to be, I
am hoping the only thing I can do is get
on the internet with my phone, but I want to
My goal is to completely turn it off and put
it in the in the the the lock box that
comes in the hotel room and completely disconnect.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean, mine, I'm going to disconnect from work, but
I'm going to have I want to have access to
the internet because there are people that are interested in
what I'm going to be doing.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, your yours is a bit different. Your trip is
a bit different.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I mean I've already had one person she asked me
to Facebook live or live somehow live stream.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, that's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
The three on three basketball is that I'll be participating in.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
So, yeah, your trip is is different than mine. Mineus
for leisure. Yours is has a purpose behind it. Inside
it's leisure too, I mean, drinks on the beach.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I've got five or six days of leisure. Yeah, I'm
spending some time with a friend of mine who was
a foreign exchange student when I was a senior in
high school. He was on the basketball team and we've
remained friends for forty years. So in twenty nineteen, I
visited him. He's been back here several times, and so

(07:09):
I'm going to spend a couple of days with him.
And then there was also a girl that was a
foreign exchange student from the Netherlands when we were seniors
and She lives about an hour away from my friend,
and I told her I haven't seen her since the
year after we graduated, and so she's invited us down
for a meal. I can't remember if it's breakfast, lunch,

(07:33):
for dinner, so I'm just going to say it's a meal.
But so there's another person I'm going to get to,
So I mean it's going to be she lives on
a farm.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
So what's crazy that you still have contact with exchange
students from high school?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well that's the wonders of Facebook.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, Well one thing I mentioned disconnecting
that there's only twenty two percent of people from the
United States who can completely disconnect while on vacation, only
twenty two percent. So I'm hoping again that I will
be able to completely no offense, everybody, just turn the

(08:08):
mind off, disconnect and take a breather. Because I'm not
the type of traveler where I want on a I've
never done a cruise. I don't do amusement parks and
other kind of stuff. I don't want to be on
a schedule. I don't want the opportunity of being left
ashore because I missed the boat. Literally, otis it just

(08:29):
knows about that because my life every day is a
schedule on My life is dictated by the calendar on
my phone every day of my life. So this vacation
is to completely get away from that. But we shall see.
But we're not done. We're not out of here yet.
So coming up of no, but.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You can tell we're thinking about it. You could tell
it's definitely it's it's it's high on the priority list.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah. Yeah, so we talked about our weekend. We get back,
I've got to tell you how my Friday was. We
have an interesting if you know, know where our studios
are ties exactly into how my friday late morning with
Uncle Bernie went. And Otis doesn't even know this story.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
She wouldn't tell me. Yeah, I had to get it
at her.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, so I want to want to let him hear
at first hand. Seven point fifteen. You're listening to the
bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Welcome back on your Monday, the bloom Daddy Experience, salmon

(09:42):
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Before I get into
my story, just a reminder coming up later this show
this morning I'm sorry. We're gonna have another chance for
you to win a pair of tickets to see Kansas
here at the CA Capitol next week. Now here's what

(10:03):
we're doing. We had two winners on Friday. We're gonna
have one today, one tomorrow, one Wednesday. Those five winners
will each receive a pair of tickets. We will take
those five winners, put them into a hat, and then
one out of those five winners will also win a

(10:26):
chance to meet the band and get an and receive
an autographed drum head cover. All right, so we'll be
doing that here a little bit late in the show,
just giving you a heads up that that is coming up,
or we will have our qualifier for the Kansas giveaway
that we're doing.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
You know what else? Forget today? What we have a
family four pack of pirate tickets.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
You didn't tell me that.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
It's on the calendar, but I kind of forget about it.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, okay, well that's not my notes. Okay, when is that.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Game for No, I'll tell you here a little bit.
I think it's Colorado. I think it's at the end
of the month. Hold on, I'll good.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Look okay, well he just dropped that on me. Okay,
so that will be coming up here. We'll do that
here in this hour. We'll do the Pirates this hour.
We're gonna do Kansas in the second hour of the show,
so stay tuned for all of those, of course. All right,
so let's go to back to Friday. Let's take a

(11:25):
trip back in time a little bit, folks, So just
a little bit of behind the scenes. If you have
never seen physically where our studios are located, and I've
mentioned multiple times that we sit right here in the
beautiful Capital Theater, and it is. It's an amazing facility.
It truly is. And we tend to forget and take

(11:46):
for granted the building that we sit in every morning.
With that being said, where we are located within the building.
When are the Pirates tickets?

Speaker 3 (11:55):
The Pirate tickets are for Sunday, August twenty fourth, versus
the Colorado Rockies, and we're gonna give way a family
four pack today and a family four pack tomorrow. Plus
we'll have tickets to the Pirates to see the Milwaukee
Brewers on Wednesday. Now, the game's not Wednesday, but we'll
be given away tickets on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, So I up first, Every.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Day, we'll be giving away Pirate tickets.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay. Oh okay, so up first August twenty fourth game
the Pirates. Who We're going to be doing that here
a little bit later in the show. Okay, So back
to what I was saying. So physically where we are
located within the Capital Theater is one of our main
windows that I sit in front of every morning looks
directly into the main entrance of the Capital. So right, Babby,

(12:36):
the lobby, So right across from me is the box office. Okay.
So if you've ever been in the Capitol Theater and
you know where the box office is, my window, our
studio window is right across from it. Okay. So usually
there's people milling about all the time, right.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Sure, Capital employees. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
About two weeks ago, there was a school trip in
there and I turned around. We were off the air,
he had been gone for a while. I turned and
there's like fifteen high school students, majority of the young men,
standing there staring at me. So a lot of the
times it's like we're in a zoo. Yes, a lot
of times I feel like a monkey in the zoo
in a zoo. So that kind of gives you a picture.

(13:15):
So Friday, Otis you leave. You're gone for a while,
and I start hearing some voices out outside the window.
And again I tend not to pay attention anymore because
it's just sometimes awkward. So as I'm sitting here, I
see I look back into three or four people. I'm like, okay, no, biggie,
don't recognize them. I figured there's symphony practicing something like that.

(13:38):
Then it continues to grow, so it gets to be
about eleven thirty and I have to go pick up
the lunch for our lunch winner. Then I see somebody
in a blue T shirt and it says fighting oligarchy,
and I went, oh, that's what's going on. That's what's
going on. I completely forgot. So as I'm packing up

(13:58):
and I'm looking around our studio, I'm like, oh, oh, oh,
I am called. I am brilliant. So I call Otis
and I say, okay, this is what's going on. He goes,
you said something else, and I said, we have I
still have the posters from the R and C convention
and we have him around our studio yep. And I said,

(14:21):
I'm going to put him in the window, and you said,
you do it? Do it. Do it, do it.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
We should have done it before we left.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I did do it before I left.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, I mean like we should have done it at
like nine o'clock in the morning. Had him all in
the window.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh so okay, I'm like, you know what, I can't
let this moment go by. I've got to do it right.
So I put like three or four of them, three
or four of them in the window and the flag,
and we have this dollar bill that makes Biden look
like the cop that he is, and this whole thing. Right,

(14:54):
So I stick him in the window, turn the lights off,
and then we have spotlights, right, So I kind of
angled the spotlights so that they're pointing at the posters.
The whole thing. I create this hale abiyonce if you will.
And then I gotta go. So I go outside to
go pick up the food at River City and go
do my thing. I'm not even to River City and

(15:16):
I get a phone call from another person that works
here and says, ah, they're losing their mind. There are
folks out there losing their mind. There's a man beating
on your studio window. That it's offensive. He's offended. This
is offensive. This type of the decorations are triggering to

(15:40):
many many folks, triggering, triggering. It's just offended, just offended. Okay, fine,
So I go, I get the food. I have to
deliver the food, folks. I have to take care of
our winners. I said, give me like ten minutes. I'll
be So I go, I deliver the food. I come

(16:04):
back and in the meantime, I said, go ahead, take
them down, but I'll be back. So, because because we
have a wonderful relationship with the folks here at the Capitol,
we do. We have a wonderful relationship. So I leave,

(16:25):
I come back. I take the posters and I take
them from the closest window right and I move them
to the other window. They your window, so they're not directly.
But then I take the lights and I move them
so that they're spotlighted. So so I do all of that.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I wish I had to come back.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I do all of that, and then I stand here
and I talk to some folks for a little bit,
and I'm fuman. I am absolutely fuming at this because
from what I was told, the person that spoke to
this gentleman that was just oh my god, he was
so offended, so offended. It was almost in tears. I guess,
almost in tears that he was so triggered and so

(17:13):
offended by this. I'm not done yet. I'm not done
yet because it gets better than that. So come back
and talk to this person who and I do apologize
to the person that had to have the conversation with
this guy. But then I say, you know what, when

(17:34):
we leave, I don't want to go out the side
door we usually use. I'm gonna walk right out into
the bowels of the beast, who were all in their
blue fighting oligarchy shirts and hanging up all of their paraphernalia.
And I said, if you see the guy who had
a problem, I want to talk to him. And guess what,

(17:58):
I got to talk to him seven twenty eight. You're
gonna hear about that conversation when we get back The
bloom Daddy Experience. Welcome back, seven thirty six, The bloom
Daddy Experience, Sam and OTA's News Radio eleven seventy WWVA,
why are you grinning at me?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Because I'm gonna do the History Channel AA and E recap.
So Friday, Bernie Sanders was here scheduled. Somebody here got
offended by the signs that we put up a studio,
which were from the Republican National Convention, and you they complained,
so you moved them from the front window to the
back window.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
And the spot lights.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
By the way, as you were leaving, the person that
was offended and triggered by the signs was in the lobby.
So and here we come there, all right.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
And from there I got to have a conversation with
this gentleman and he was probably in his mid to
late twenties, and that was the thing. The age separation
between those attended was was very telling. But I said
to him, he, I said, I heard you were upset
and offended by by my studios decorations. And he said, oh, yeah, yeah,

(19:12):
those types of you know, that type of of of
stuff is very triggering for a lot of folks and
very offensive.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
I would have I would have definitely called him the name.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I said, oh, I said, I'm sorry. I said,
free speech is offensive to you, and he kind of
looked at me, and I said, you know, your shirt
is offensive to me, but you know, I'm not going
to ask you to take off your shirt. And he
kind of looked at me and he said, well, I
will say this, thank you for being the bigger person
and moving the signs. And I kind of looked at

(19:42):
him and I said, well, see that's the difference between
conservatives and in the the woke, the woke, hypocritical democrats
is we we tend to be the bigger people, and
it takes a lot more than a sign to uh
trigger us and offend us. And he said, well, either way,

(20:04):
you know, thank you, and he was calm, and I
was getting worked up. I'll be one hundred percent up front.
I was incredibly worked.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Up, but he was.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
He might have been. And he said something else and
I said, oh, and and you know, we don't believe
in socialism. And I know that, I know what a
real woman is and this and that, and I was
trying to get in as many barbs as I could
in this short interaction. I was, I was, because it
just it really ticked me off. But as he walked away,

(20:36):
he turned around and Dunta da dah. He had a
man bun. Big surprise, big surprise. But then I leave
the building and the person that was with me pointed
out and she made a fantastic point. If you came
down Main Street on Friday, you saw one of the

(20:59):
big I guess the examples of capitalism you can ever see,
which are street vendors selling their wares. Now, it doesn't
matter what they are. To me, it was junk, but
it was capitalism. Here are these folks sitting in the
hot sun selling their T shirts and their flags and

(21:21):
their bumper stickers. And the whole thing was like going
to an NFL football game or whatever, up and down
Main Street, setting up their pop up tents in the
whole thing. That's capitalism, folks. As they were cheering on
and welcoming a socialist.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well, let's just put it this way. Bernie Sanders, who's
a socialist, doesn't hurt for anything.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
No, And that was the next point I was going
to make. Here is this man on his fighting oligarchy tour,
fighting it. He's standing up for the little man. He's
a millionaire, folks, or morellionaire, multi millionaire. Yeah, yeah, you
know he he he walks around, flies around on his

(22:08):
private jet, fighting the oligarchy, the rich, the powerful. He
is the rich and powerful. He is the rich and powerful.
He wants to fight climate change, he wants to shut
down the coal mines. He backed Hillary Clinton, who infamously

(22:28):
said we're going to put a lot of coal miners
and coal companies out of business. But yet the UMWA
is up on stage with him on Friday. FYI, you
want to talk about being offended as a wife of
a coal miner, a daughter of a coal miner. That's
incredibly offended. But I digress. Here is this man preaching

(22:51):
to the average joe to fight the oppressor, fight the rich.
He is the rich. This is hypocrisy at its finest.
And I posted on Facebook, of course, a picture of
the window and what everybody was complaining about or what

(23:12):
this guy was offended about, and people had comments. But
one of the things I posted on there was about socialism.
It was a meme that I sold off off of
somebody else, and it's Sanders, And you know, Sanders explains
the difference socialism versus democratic socialism. Basically it's the same thing.
But with this joke, it says Bernie Sanders version has

(23:33):
has sprinkles on it. It's a joke.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
It's two pictures. It's the picture is a pile of poop.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
It's an emogi.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, the poop emoji, and one has sprinkles, right,
So that's just to kind of explain that.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, and people had had comments on it, and I'm
not going to go into all of those. But you know,
a couple of the things that Sanders wants that I
you know, pulled up is he wants government run healthcare.
He wants government run energy plans. It's all about climate change.

(24:09):
First of all, ask Canadians how their medical is doing,
have a conversation with them, and how great the government
run healthcare is doing in Canada. And I don't even
want to get into the climate conversation because it's ridiculous
the direction he wants to take things with the wind

(24:30):
power and insolar power and you know how it's better
for the environment, Well, if you actually take a drive
and check out some of the wind power that decorates
some of the most beautiful landscape that we have in
this country, it's terrible. It's ugly, and it doesn't work.
It doesn't work. We do not have the power grid

(24:52):
and the infrastructure to switch over. But he has had
hostility towards major industries in this country and wants to
shut them down. He wants to shut them down with.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
The cost to switch everything, ever, would be astronomical. First off,
that they don't take that into consideration, and the fact
that it will never give you the same amount of
energy that water, you know, because I mean you have
the hydro electric plants and then you have the coal
fired electric plants. Wind will never give you the power
that you can get from those two things.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
No, And for me, there were solar and the other
thing about Friday. They're nice supplementals, Oh sure, but it's
not the infrastructure is not there, and they're not environmentally friendly.
They're just not.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
If you look at how solar panels are made. I
don't have all of that in front of me. I'm
just going off the top of my head with conversations
and what I've read. What they're made with coal product?

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Just how about where they're made, where.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
They're made, they're made with product.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
The solar panels made in the world are made in China.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So the biggest thing on Friday, besides the run in
with the man Bond gentleman again, is the hypocrisy.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
You shouldn't ask him to listen to the show.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, I figured he wouldn't be here long enough, he'd
be Well, I guess you could listen on the podcast
or the app but you know, I knew he was.
He would high tail it out out of here.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Did he say where are we from?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
No? No, he didn't really have a lot to say.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Of course he didn't. No other than the fact that
he was offended.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
He just had that smug like.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
You're offended by a piece of paper. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
that's what I mean. There are so many things that
I would have said.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
To him, Well, I was trying to.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Not I wouldn't have tried to start him up, but
I mean I would have just said I would have
just pointed out some things and your your your one
reference was you were your shirt offends me, so I
but I'm not going to ask you to take it off.
So why should I have to move my signs?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
That was good, But I mean that was good.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
It wasn't worth a lot of the oxygen that I
was breathing. The one thing looking at pictures and a
lot of the headlines sold out, three thousand attended, Well
it was free, so it wasn't sold out twenty five
hundred and well it holds twenty two hundred and ninety five,
so it wasn't sold out, and it wasn't three thousand

(27:26):
people but the biggest thing was the like I mentioned
at the beginning of this, was the age difference. It
was the young twenty somethings with their faces in their
in their computers and in their cell phones, green hair,
purple hair. And then it was the older fifty five
and older Democrats that we've talked about before that do
not realize that the Democratic Party has completely completely left

(27:50):
them behind. They have They've completely left them behind. So
Friday was fun, folks. It was a great way to
kick off my week. If you went to see Bernie
Sanders talk, would love to hear from you one eight
hundred sixty two four eleven seventy with you just what

(28:12):
it was like. One eight hundred sixty two four eleven

News Radio, eleven seventy w w v A, seven fifty one.

(28:33):
Welcome back The bloom Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio,
eleven seventy w w VA otis. We need we need
a we need a slogan and a fighting hypocrisy instead
of fighting oligarchy or debating the facts.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
No, yeah, I work on that.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Maybe, well maybe we'll make that a challenge. We need
a slogan, Folks, come up with the good slogan for us.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
How about we just do the show and try to
get through it, not worry about the all the little bells.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
And muscles trying to survive every day. Ah No, So
coming up, we're gonna have your first chance to win
this morning. It's going to be a family four pack
to see the Pittsburgh Pirates next next week weeks.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
It is Sunday, August twenty fourth, at twelve oh five,
they will be taking on the Colorado Rockies.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Colorado, are they any good this year?

Speaker 6 (29:29):
They're like the worst team in the league. So hey,
you know what that means that the Pirates will more
likely lose because they can beat the best teams, but
they can't beat the worst teams.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Did they win Saturday when you went that went Friday
and they won?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh yes?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Okay, okay, So we're gonna have that coming up here shortly.
And then just a reminder, we've got the next qualification
for our Kansas Grand Prize drawing, which will be later
this week. But this will be your qualification to be
a part of that big giveaway that we're doing which

(30:07):
of course is a pair of tickets meet and greet
with the band and a signed drumhead autograph cover by
the entire the entire band. So it came out over
the weekend to I want to get your thoughts out there,
and then also to you otis. So it came out
this weekend. President Trump has made it clear, very clear

(30:30):
that they are going to revamp how the census is
done and that no illegals can be counted in the census.
Do you agree or disagree? I posted this on our
Facebook page. I think it's a no brainer, but of course, you.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Know, well, I think there's I think there's some positives
and there's some negatives. I think number one is you
need to count the illegals so that you know how
many there are. Okay, but if you are, if you
are an illegal, then that that should depending on where
you're located, that should not affect say like congressional districts

(31:05):
or things like that. So in other words, because you're
basically a non citizen, so you know the voting sectors
are based on. Now, I understand that you know that
there's kids, and you know, people that are under the
age of eighteen that are going to be counted in
this census that don't have the you know, aren't old
enough to vote, but they're still you know, but there's

(31:25):
still citizens, so you know, you know, I mean, I
understand it. But the thing is, if you are in
the census as an illegal, then those numbers don't count
toward the number of people in your.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
District travision to create the seats and everything. And you're right,
because you know, with with the illegal crisis that's been
going on since Biden took over and led us to
where we are today, you know, you just search you know,
the number. There's a lot of numbers floating around out

(32:02):
there about how many have crossed the borders illegally in
the past four or five years. You know, there's so
many different numbers that people are throwing out. I like
what you're saying with they should still be counted, but
not counted towards the makeup of our voting press.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
And let's keep in mind, I mean I'm not I'm
not necessarily you know, I'm definitely not pro illegal alien.
But if something were to happen and somebody's having a
heart attack and it's an illegal alien, I mean, I
don't want to. I'm not going to sit there and say, hey,
don't help them, no, but you know, but I think
those but to know how many illegals are in your
district and then possibly be able to say, Okay, well

(32:43):
we need more fire and emergency services or we need
more police because there are more illegals here than I
think that that works as well too well.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I think as the American public, we need to
know how many are here, sure, I mean, we need
to know what that is some people term at this
invasion brought to our country. It also if we have
the right numbers, then we also know how much of

(33:14):
our resources have been spent on it, because again there's
huge numbers floating around, millions of dollars being spent in California,
New York, New York City. You know, there's huge numbers
being thrown around. So if we know the exact numbers,
then we can understand how much of a financial plight
it has been on certain cities or counties or states,

(33:35):
so that there is some clarification of the effects that
this has had on this country. But that should not
count towards how as you said, districts are divided up
when it comes to voting. Yeah, yeah, because you're illgal,
you are not an American citizen. Number one, you do

(33:56):
not have the right to vote. You should not have
the right place to vote. That is the foundation of
this country.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
That is what until you do it properly, exactly, I'm
okay with you being here as long as you do
it properly.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
And honestly, I saw something a couple weeks ago where
there was a group of immigrants, because that's what they
are now, they're officially American citizens who immigrated to this
country rightfully and legally, and they were celebrated. They were
one hundred percent celebrated by the town and the state

(34:32):
that they resided in. And honestly, I cannot remember exactly
where this was, but I remember reading the article and
I thought, good for good for them, good for them
for accomplishing what they accomplished, and good for us for
celebrating them, because that's the way it should be done.
So if you think, you know, if you want to
chime in on this conversation about the census, love to

(34:53):
hear from you one eight hundred and sixty to fort
eleven seventy, or of course you can text us seven
zero four seven zer Rowe want to do it.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
In the VIP package.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
There you go, because our listeners are very important people.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
No, yes, no, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
You were dead silent on that response.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Just you know, I mean, I was just figuring out
how you worded it.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Oh okay, okay, all right, I'm gonna show you a
picture which is great for radio, I know. So there's
a new tattoo craze for women. Okay, I want your
just complete out of nowhere, responds okay, okay, so take

(37:36):
a look. Okay, so what is the new tattoo craze?
I would love to hear from a tattooer if you're
out there listening. If this is walked into your shop.
Liberal women, I'm gonna give you applause on this one

(37:57):
because mm hmmm. Yeah. They are getting their armpits tattooed
with hair to look like permanent hairy armpits to keep
men from talking to them.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Why don't they just let the hair grow?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Why don't they just look in the mirror, Because I
don't think it's the hairy armpits necessarily, especially this picture,
that is going to keep the men from talking to them.
I probably shouldn't say that as a woman, but I'm
pretty sure that.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
I had a college roommate that may have had a phrase, Okay,
she is sind dipped in misery.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I'm not trying to hate here on either, but just
stating a fact, sind dipped in misery.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
It's been a while since I even thought of that
or even used it for anything. But man, does that fit?

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I Just what point does this make? I mean, what
is their goal with this?

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Just proves that they're an idiot.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
That men are evil, that a man being attracted to
you is evil. What is the point? And I have tattoos,
I don't think I would get my armpits tattooed.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
You know the best part about that that would tickle
so bad.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
You know the best part about this is they will
not procreate, so good point, the stupidity will not be
passed down to another generation.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Good point, good point the stupidity.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
So at some point in time, you know, listen, I'm
not saying I'm one hund percent right all the time.
I'm not saying that my views are the best views
in the world. But you know, I'm comfortable that my
two kids, you share a lot of the views that
I do. I never forced anything on them, and they've

(40:04):
made their own choices and they're smart enough to figure
it out. And that's you know. Now, you know, did
my saying I'm voting for this person influence them? It
could have. I don't know. But I'm just glad that
my kids will not fall into stupid category down.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
The road, are they they're both out of college, correct, Yes,
If you were sending them to college now, at this
current point in time, would you worry about the influence
by say, liberal teachers that have you know, inundated colleges
higher education, how much influence they would have in your kids?

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Yes? And no. My youngest one actually ran into this
in one of his classes. He graduated with a criminal
justice degree. I don't remember exactly what class it was,
but he had a professor that was very liberal, was gay,

(41:10):
and at times my son said that he felt like
he was targeted because he had a black rifle coffee hat,
he had a shirt on one time that said something,
and anytime that this guy would want to suggest his

(41:33):
opinion or force his beliefs on the class, my son
said a lot of times that he would look right
at him, like when it came to like guns, and
when it came to certain different things, he felt like
he was being targeted as visually targeted. The guy wouldn't
call him out, but he would stare at him in
the class.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Interesting. Interesting, And and here's the thing. When you send
your kid off to college, it's a multi level experience.
There's the education you are to receive within the classroom.
There is the education you are to receive socially by
your peers. You are to learn how to become an

(42:18):
adult on many levels. Unfortunately, we have seen in higher
education this extreme left ideology that has infested our higher education.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Well, and what's happened is instead of actually teaching, let's
you say the fundamentals let's say, if you're in a
political science class, instead of teaching the fundamentals of the
American government, they decide that they want to teach their beliefs,
instead of offering teaching both sides and letting students make

(43:04):
their choice in how they want to approach.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Things well and the other. I mean, and listen, I
know we tend to. I mean, Otis and I are
very upfront about being conservative and voting for Trump, and
I mean, we couldn't be more blatant about our views
on things. But I will say this, there are portions

(43:27):
of the Democrats or liberal views that you know, I
do agree with. The problem is we have seen over
the past decade where the far left may not be
the majority of the leaders in the party, they are

(43:50):
the loudest and that's the problem. And the way they
have taken over culture and infiltrated, as I said, a
lot of the higher education. The way they have warped
the minds of our next generation, that's what I have

(44:12):
a problem with. That's where we've gone wrong. Where we've
gotten to the point where it is acceptable in a
lot of people's minds to physically castrate our youth. That

(44:33):
it's acceptable, that people can call themselves whatever they want,
a man or a woman, that men can go in
women as locker room. You know, all of these cultural
ideologies that they forced upon the public. That's what we're
tired of. And again I don't think it's the majority
of the Democrats. I think it's the loudest voices of

(44:56):
the Democrats. And have women tattooing armpit hair permanently on themselves.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
That's how ridiculous you just listening, grow it's a lot cheaper.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
It is actually a lot cheaper.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
How dum That tells you how dumb they are.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Or stop getting your upper lipwax too, I mean, just
double down and let everything grow. I don't do that,
by the way, eight p. Fifteen. The bliem Daddy experience,
Get my lip waxed? Is what I mean. The bloom
Daddy experience. Salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA Welcome

I'm sorry, Kevin, I apologize. I did not mean to
make that comparison.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Well there went that advertisement.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, that's offensive. That's offensive, that uh comparison. I lost
my lost my train of thought.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
There what said?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
There?

Speaker 4 (50:17):
You have it?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
There you have it. Guess who else is uh leaving?
Possibly leaving what the country?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Oh, I have no idea besides us, besides us temporarily.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Well, maybe he'll be on my flight. Probably not, because
I'm not going to Italy. Jimmy Kimmel, he's the latest celab. Yeah,
he has gotten his Italian Italian Oh my god, I
sound like my grandmother. That's how she said Italian citizenship.
Because he's fearful of President Trump.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
He does mean that he's he's the next one to
be fired.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Possibly, I don't know, but he did say I did
get Italian citizenship. As bad as you thought it was
going to be, it's so much worse. I'm missing something.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
I don't get it either.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
I mean, my gas has gone down, my groceries have
gone down. I feel safe in this country again.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
I mean, please, if something?

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Yeah, is there something that I just am am missing
out on here that people are so scared that they've
got to run for the hills of Italy.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
The bottom line is it's it's misinformation because these people
are believing what they're reading and seeing in the media
and the hoaxes and the you know, the you know,
they don't want to they can't handle reality.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah, no, he's afraid he's going to lose his job.
But speaking of late night hosts, and I didn't get
a chance to watch it this weekend, and I meant
to and honestly, it's slipped my mind. Greg Guttfield from
Fox News made it a Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
last week. I think it was on Friday. That's probably

(52:06):
the first time a conservative has has been on a
late night show.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
And Jimmy Fallon's not as bad as the other two.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
He's a little bit more even.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
He actually he actually has a relationship with Trump or
has had a relationship with Trump. I mean, obviously they
were both at NBC at one point in time. And
the reason Jimmy Fallon because he has to give in
to the ownership the higher ups, you know, he he's
instructed to take cheap shots and make Trump look as

(52:39):
bad as possible.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Word comes down from the Ivory Tower of Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah, so there you have it.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Yeah, that would be uh.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
But I don't think he's as personally as charged as
as Kimmel and Colbert.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yeah so yeah, Colbert is on his way out. We
all know that story.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
So I don't think Jimmy Kimmel's far behind because they're
not funny anymore.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
No, well, and just again, the landscape of TV viewing
has changed drastically, changed drastically. So eight twenty eight coming up,
we're gonna have another chance for you to win Kansas.
Don't forget registering for that. We'll have that here a
little bit towards the end of the show. Eight twenty eight.
We are we are the Blue Daddy Experience. He's Otis.

(53:30):
I'm Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA A thirty six.
Welcome back the Blue Daddy Experience, Sam and Otis News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. We haven't heard from this guy
in a while, Otis. So there was an article last
week from AOL. Yes you remember that name, AOL.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
I still have an AOL account?

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Do you really does it still go? You've got milh.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
No, at least I don't think it does doesn't do
like that. There's probably twelve thousand items of mail on
I think I couldn't tell you the last time I
even checked it.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
You've got mail. So this article profiled just how rich
Jeff Bezos is he could get. He could give every
single American man, woman, and child one hundred dollars each
and still have over two hundred billion dollars left over.

(54:31):
The Amazon founder is here to tell you not to
get your hopes up, though.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
I am Jeff Bezis, and I am absolutely apoplectic about
Aoero dot com. Yeah, it's still a thing. This insolent
internet company published an article suggesting I should give every
American citizen one hundred dollars because I still have two
hundred and two billion leftover.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
What's next?

Speaker 5 (55:01):
A story about monkeys flying out of my butt might
as well, because neither is going to happen.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
I did the math.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
I could give all three hundred and forty million Americans
six hundred eighty seven dollars and fourteen cents and still
be a billionaire. But don't hold your breath. If I
hand it out cash to every Tom, Dick and Harry,
I wouldn't be rich enough to hang out with every Leonardo,
Ornando and Oprah.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
No, get out of here, you dead beats. Okay, what
does apoplectic mean?

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I wasn't paying attention to be honest.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Okay, you hold on. He said that. I don't even
know how to spell it. Apoplect appo apo p apoplecto
spelling me overcome with anger, extremely indignant. Mark was appo
plectic apoplectic with rage at the decision. Okay, yeah, I've

(56:05):
never heard that word before. So Jeff Bezos, thank you
for that little bit of education. Today. We haven't talked
about last week. It was last week was week one
of preseason football. I'm sure that's you were had that
on your calendar. Otis I know how much you love
NFL football in.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
The preseason hit that.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Yeah, so Steelers did win thirty one twenty five.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
I did see this. Did you see where the guy
from Jacksonville kicked the seventy yard field? Yes, that dude could.
That probably would have been good at seventy five, maybe
even eighty yards.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
He knocked the leather off of that football. I mean
he kicked the snot out of that ball. It was
quite impressive. Yeah, Tom Brady got his statue of course
at Jillette Stadium. His head's very tiny on that statue.
You know what, it made me think of in the
original Beatle Juice, the shrunken head man when he goes

(57:02):
down to sign in or whatever that whole thing is.
It made me think of the shrunken man in Beetle Juice.
He's got this tiny little p head, this giant body statue.
It just it didn't do injustice. Okay, didn't do injustice.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
But you know that I didn't see it, so I'll
take your word for it.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Okay. The Browns also went one thirty two ten in
the preseason up against the Panthers, so there was a
some some pretty wicked injuries for preseason. The one uh
one player shoot now Detroit versus the Falcons, it was

(57:41):
a pretty wicked but he wicked injury. But according to
reports that I've read, he does have feelings in his extremity,
So that.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Is a good That was the game where they just
snapped the ball and let the game run out, didn't they.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure, which is kind of I mean,
I understand why they did it in a you know,
I mean, obviously it.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Shook up a lot of players.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Concern and you know the players, you know, but as
a fan, you know, sometimes the game must go on.
And I understand, I'm not trying to be cold, harder
or anything like that, but if if let's say I
paid one hundred dollars to go see that game and
then I only get to see three quarters of it,

(58:21):
I mean, I don't I don't know what my feelings
would be, you know, I mean kind of I would
feel like I got jipped. I would understand it, but
I would there you would think that there would be
some sort of compensation or I guess.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
The argument it is was preseason.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
And I understand that, yeah, but I mean, some people
can't afford to go to the regular season game and
this is there. And then the other thing is some
people can't get tickets to regular season games, so this
is their taste of you know, what happens, the opportunity
to take your kid do his first NFL football game
and he doesn't get to see a full game. I
understand the circumstances, but it's just I guess, I guess

(58:59):
you can. It's it's a similar comparison, but it's not
the same thing. You know, if you go to a
baseball game and it's five innings and you get rained
out and the game's called. You said, you know, so
you only get to see that much. You don't you're
never getting your money back because it's a complete game.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
They're one of those tickets for the reschedule if of
a range.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
If it's a complete game after five and a half innings,
it can be called a complete game.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Oh okay, I see, so.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
It kind of now if it's a rainout, you get
a range.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Didn't they end the game with the Was it the
Buffalo player that had the heart attack?

Speaker 5 (59:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Yeah, yeah, that game was called right then. And yeah,
I mean that's i I'm saying, it's a different situation.
But I think it was number one. It was a
regular season game and neither team I think it was
the Bengals and the Bills, and you know, I mean
that guy died on the field. Yeah, so, I mean,

(59:54):
you know, unfortunately, injuries are a part of the NFL.
And you know, if if you're going to sit there
and say, okay, well we can't go on because of this,
you know, back in the day, I mean, and things
have changed. Yeah, I just I mean, I'm not trying
to be cold hearted. I'm just trying to offer a
different Yeah, I'm just offering a perspective.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
No, no, I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
But I mean again, it's a preseason game. I understand
I probably would have I probably would have done the
same thing. I would have been a great in agreement
with the players and the coaches and everything else. But
but then when you look at the big pictures and
the big picture of it, you know, you're trying to
think to yourself, Okay, is this is this? Is this
the direction that we're going to take. Every time somebody

(01:00:36):
gets carted off on a name, it's one of those
it's a no win situation.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Yeah, there's no right answer, there's not.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
And it's just I mean again, I'm not trying to
be cold hearted. I'm trying to play I'm trying to
I'm just offering that perspective, kind of playing devil's advocate
here so well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
And and speaking of preseason games, of course, I follow
a lot of Brown's chat. Being a Browns fan. To
the Browns fans out there, calm down, calm down, Shador
Sanders is not the second coming. This is game one
of the preseason. Keep that in mind. This is pre season.

(01:01:18):
There are fans out there that are saying he's the
Week one starter. He had two touchdowns, one hundred and
thirty eight. Yoa, this is it, this is our guy.
This is preseason week one, folks, preseason week one. So like,
let's just you know, back off.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Yeah, you're not playing against the guys that are going
to be playing on Sundays, right right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
And it was the Carolina Panthers who have not had
the best track record the past couple of years. So
let's all just let's all just calm. Yeah, take a
deep breath. Take a deep breath. I'm not ready for
football season. I'm just I'm just not I'm not ready
for for fall weather and Thanksgiving. I saw Thanksgiving decorations

(01:02:04):
this weekend. Just ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
That's that's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
We have made like you haven't even made it to
Halloween and you had Thanksgiving decoration.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
You haven't even made it to Labor Day.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
Well that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I mean, let's let's let's just make it to Labor Day.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Speaking of today, it's also National Presidential Joke Day. Let's
all have a good laugh today and make some make
fun of some presidents. We definitely have some that are
easily easy points. So if you have a good president joke,
today's the day to use it. It's eight forty five.
Coming up. Another football team has a bigger joke than

(01:02:49):

weeks ago, I think. Anyways, the bloom Daddy Experienced samon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, Welcome back, eight fifty

the NFL, got this this morning I wake up. First
thing that is shown to me on my social media,

(01:03:32):
I guess because I follow football, is this post about
the Minnesota Vikings. So if you remember a couple of
weeks ago, there was the big uniform release by the
Browns and you know, made us a laughing stock because
full brown outfit sponsored by dude Wipes, which you know
are wipeyes for boys men. Yeah, you can't make this

(01:03:54):
stuff up, right, folks. So Otis take a gander at
two of the Minnesoka Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders this season.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Okay, dudes, it's real.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
This is not a joke. I even looked it up
because right now you can't trust anything anymore on the internet. No,
this is real, folks.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
I mean there have been other guy cheerleaders in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Okay, there are male cheerleaders who are therefore stunts. Do
you know what I mean? Like they're the muscle to
lift the girls up and do that kind of stuff. Okay,
they don't carry the pomp poms. These are carrying the
pomp poms. And I will say, though, Blaze, which is
the name of one of them, Yes, yes, yes, Blaze

(01:04:47):
b l A I Ze because gotta be different. Has
the fair faucet flip quite impressively actually, for coming from
very feathered. Yes, yes, Now I can't tell if they
are wearing a skirt or shorts.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Now Blaze is a guy. It looks like shorts.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Looks like shorts to you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Okay, now, Blaze, there's a guy that plays for the
Arizona Diamondbacks by the name of Blaze Jordan. I believe,
so Blaze is not necessarily it might be a a
name from that somebody got you know, that might have
been popular twenty twenty five years ago, but it's just
it just but b l A I Z E that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
I just.

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
That's like if your name's Kim and you spell it
k y M yeah, or you know, I know, I
know there's parents out there because back in the day
when I was doing a lot of plaques and trophies
and putting names on them, good God, I don't know
what some of these parents think. And it's sometimes it's

(01:05:57):
the the just the spelling. Oh, we just want to
be different, and you look at it and you go,
what in the F is that?

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Yeah? I you know, I would hear people talk about
names for kids and especially boys. You know, I want
to name him Dallas because I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
I know a kid that is named.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Dallas, Dakota or Dakota, and it's like, okay, I would
always say this. Imagine, Dakota is a forty five year
old CEO for whatever company. This is mister Dakota Smith.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
I don't know it just Dakota's not not as bad
as Dallas or Jet.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
I've heard Jet before. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
Somebody just had somebody I know just had a baby,
probably within the last month two and they named him Jet.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Really, I don't know Jets.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
I don't think Jet's a bad name either.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
I don't think it's bad, but it will.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
It translate as an older name?

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
That Yeah, That's what I'm getting at is you know,
how do.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
You I mean, I think there's I really don't think
it matters at any point in time. Trying to think
of some of the other it's some of the ones
that you know, it's just I think sometimes it's in
your own head that that the name doesn't sound maybe professional,
you think, Yeah, I like so, I know, I know

(01:07:27):
a Dakota that is a physical therapist, you know. So
I mean if you doctor Dakota Smith doesn't sound bad. Yeah,
you see what I'm saying it, you know. And and
the kid that I know that's Dallas. I mean, his
dad's a Dallas fan. That's why he was named Dallas.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
But what if he doesn't want to be a Dallas fan,
he's stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Well, he could be a Mavericks fan, he could be
a Dallas Stars fans Houston. I'm sorry, there's the closest
Texas Rangers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
So I don't know Anyways, back to the cheerleading thing,
I just I don't know. So congrats Minnesota Vikings. You
get the joke of.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
The day from the show Carry Vance from Vance Bringing
is a big Vikings fan, so I wonder what his
opinion is on the two male chairs. You know another
Vikings fan we do, Blue Daddy. Yeah, I can see
Blue Daddy being a male cheerleader. I honestly could.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
He's got the mouth for it, well loud mouth anyways,
and he's got the he's got some feminine traits. You
said it, not me, you know, I'm right, I'm not.
I am not touching that with a ten foot part.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
Who did Pat Benattar and the lip syn challenge? It's true,
and I think liked it, Like liked wearing a skirt
and a wig and boots fish nets too, didn't he?
He probably liked them too.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
He pulled it off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
He pulled it off, just just saying I'm just putting
it out there, all right, we're.

Of course, it's kind of like a tradition.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Yeah. Well, he took a nose dive, folks. He fell off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
That's not good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
And he was later released from the hospital because he
had a CT scan that his head was all clear.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
But he broke his collar boat, which probably means he's
done driving for the year.
