The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam September 9, 2025

Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news radio
eleven seventy. Jim er Das and former Congress and the
Blue Daddy Show. Politicaland listen, what about the Vake Ramis
Swami running for governor on the Republican side. And I
saw an article where a bunch of Ohio donors are
ditching Tim Ryan and pouring nearly two hundred twenty thousand
into the Vakes Governor's bid.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Your thoughts on that.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Well, look for they cut out early. He's really the
only viable candidate right now. And I think when you're
a Democrat, and especially if you're a business man or
woman Democrat, and you know that Levek is probably going
to be the next governor unless somebody steps up, you're
going to donate. And I think that's exactly what happening
here unless there's a viable challenger that steps up. I

(01:04):
do believe that you're going to see Democrats, Independence and
Republicans sort supporting Veveke. Now, that doesn't mean we shall
have a lot of time we have till February next
year that somebody doesn't step up. And what it also
doesn't mean is that there won't be donors. You know,
I saw this when I ran against Sheriff Brown in
twenty eighteen. They were writing checks to share it. They
were writing checks to me. They try and play both sides.

(01:26):
You'll get some of that too as well. But right now,
viovic Is is a guy who most likely people believe
will be the next governor.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, Amy Acton is out there.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Tim Ryan, do you think there is any viable candidate
on the Democratic side looking or could give Vivek a
run for his money as of right now?

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well I don't, But that doesn't mean somebody can't step
up and do something. I mean, I always say politics
is a thirty day game, sixty day game. There's a
lot of time between now and February and then between
February and November. Now, I think the Vek's running a
great campaign. He's talking about issues that need to be
fixed in Ohio, and it's going to be very difficult

(02:07):
for anyone to step in and really upset that apple cart.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Let's jump over to Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
We've seen it before, trying to label this guy a
racist and everything else. It didn't work in the last election.
You think that Democrats would learn, But here they go again.
Now you know the headline. He wants to make it
legal to only hire white men. Trump to end basic
civil rights rule. And they're talking about the Labor Department
wanting to scrap the civil rights protection. It's been a

(02:37):
place since Lyndon Johnson and it requires federal contractors not,
according to this article, not just to avoid discrimination, but
to actively ensure equal opportunity and hiring and promotions covering race, gender, religion.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Do you believe for.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
A second that Trump wants to make it legal to
only hire white men.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Where is Trump trying.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
To actually say, no, this is referre verse discrimination against
white men, and let's end quotas where people who are
not the best qualified for the job are getting hired
just because of the color of their skin.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Well, look, President Trump did sign Executive Order one four
one seventy three back in January, which revokes Executive Order
one one two four six signed by Linda Johnson. But
the executive order only removes a firm of action requirements
but does not permit discrimination. That's the key here, and
anybody who says anything else, it's going to come from

(03:34):
a Democrat trying to say, oh, he wants to discriminate
and only hire white people. That is so ridiculous and
in fact, Bloomdebdi. This really most affects federal contractors. It
gets them to eliminate a firm of action plans diversity hiring.
But even they cannot ignore the Civil Rights Act, the
Equal Pay Act, the EEOC oversight, and it also can

(03:57):
ignore state law and that's a real key. If a
state law is in place, that also has to be
followed by contractors. So again, this is all the hyperbole
that we see in races in politics when people want
to try and one up and especially attack President Trump.

(04:19):
This is a great executive order because it does eliminate
affirmative action requirements and as you said, kind of does
eliminate for first discrimination as well.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
When do you.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Think Democrats are going to realize that trying to paint
this guy is satan or a racist or whatever has
blown up in their face, But yet they continue down
this road.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I think he gets good at work.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Well, here's what's going to happen. As we get closer
and closer the race. There's gonna be lots of polls
come out, and I think they're going to continue. They've
got to find Look in politics, you have to find
the weakness. And all it takes is one weakness to
ruin and any particular candidate or any elected official, and
they'll keep throwing stuff up on the wall and hoping

(05:06):
it sticks. This one's not gonna stick. This is definitely,
but you're gonna have all kinds of things thrown at
President Trump because he is the face of the party
right now. And let's face it, the next big election
or the election for House members and Senate members in
twenty twenty six, and they've got to keep hitting the
wall and seeing what sticks so they can go after
Republicans in the House in the Senate.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right, Jim, I always appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Thank you, Yeah, thank you, go guardians.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Interesting right there. I wanted to highlight and mention something
mister Neci mentioned. Excuse me, Trump is the face of
the party. Let's let's flip that and ask who the
face is of the Democratic Party, there is one, there
isn't one. But if it was up to Bernie Sanders,
after we saw from this weekend, there are Democrats, Bernie

(05:56):
Sanders being one, who are pushing he's an independent officially
okay officially but leaning that way.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Well, he's a communist, a socialists.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
But they're putting up on them. They're trying to push
this mon Dahmi as who's a socialist the face, Yeah,
that's what they're that's the direction they're trying to take
that party.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Well, and the thing is there are people that will
buy into that. Okay, there won't be enough people. I
don't even think the Democrats. If you're far left you're
going to buy into it. If you're a middle of
the road moderate Democrat, you're not buying it. Now, you're
not going to probably vote for You're not going to

(06:37):
vote for that per that style of leadership. But then
who are you going to vote for because you're probably
not going to vote for the Republican So if there's
a third party candidate, is that who you're going to
vote for? And then in the long run, does the
third party candidate, whether it's a Senate seat or a
congressional seat or whatever does it does it come back

(06:57):
and hurt. It's going to hurt one of those candidates.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Well, that's the thing. I mean. The Democrats right now,
I mean they're a ship without a captain. They don't
have a what is it captain stubing from the love boat.
You know, they don't have a captain right now. They
don't have a face of their party. You know, a
month or so ago they were trying to make aoc
the face of the party. Now mon Domi and Gavin

(07:21):
Newsom and you talk about throwing stuff at the wall
to see what sticks, and none of it's sticking.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Well, and I mean you hear this all the time
on other radio shows, you know, the Democratic the Democrats,
if you can't pound the facts, pound the table, and
they're beating the living tar out of the table because
they don't. They can't pound the facts. You know, Trump
isn't a racist, No, I mean, for God's sakes, he
went out with black women.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know that.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
I mean, if you're going out with black women, I
don't think you're necessarily a racist. You know, racist don't
date black women. Correct, Yes, I'm just putting that out there. Yeah, Okay,
you know, there are a lot of things that you
know that they're trying to make stick. They can't, and
it's you know, you might not like the guy. You

(08:11):
might not agree with everything he does. I mean, I
don't agree with everything he does or says for gonnas sake,
But is he the best man for the job at
the moment. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Well. It just amazes me the accusations, the the labels
they put on him, like you said, racist, or you know,
they he sogynists, and you know, all these things, but
when you look at who he has put in powers,
position powers, he has the most diverse female strong leadership

(08:45):
under a president than we've ever seen in history.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well, and then they throw up the convicted felon which
I believe just got dismissed, all those charges against him,
and then the finds and everything else, all I think
they all just disappear, not on his not by his doing.
He didn't pardon himself, for ex It was the judges doing,
the judge that originally sentenced him. So right off the bat,

(09:11):
that should tell you a little bit, because this was
all this was, this was all a show. You know
what I'm not saying He's I'm not saying he's there's
nobody out there that's one hundred percent. No, we've all
done something stupid. I don't care if you shop lifted
a candy bar when you were eight.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
You've done something and we've all said said something stupid
or it's it's come out and not the way you
intended it to. Yeah, we've all been there. Yeah, it's
it's they need their floaties. Oh, the Democrats, they need
their floaties. They're missing their captain stooping. Oh seven sixteen.

(09:51):
When we get back, we're gonna talk about Ohio and
Ohio bill that well may or may possibly affect your heating.
This winner and would you buy into this? Would you
sign up for this? I want to get into that
here shortly. And then of course I want to remind
you tomorrow is going to be our lunch. We're going

(10:12):
to do our drawings, so still getting you can, still
plenty of time to get in your entries. All you
have to do is email Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name,
phone number and business and of course that's all courtesy
of our friends at River City. We're going to jump
to a quick break the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome Back, seven twenty

(10:42):
two The blim Daddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. Quick reminder. Wanted to let everybody know
about this, and we're probably we're gonna mention this throughout
the show.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Uh probably for some time.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah, the millions of dollars have been awarded to victim
of the June floods in Ohio County. There are many
who have yet not applied. So the deadline for applying
is near. Okay, So the deadline for FEMA is very near.
It is September twenty second. That is the last day

(11:16):
that applications can be submitted to FEMA. They can be
submitted online, by phone, or in person at the Disaster
Recovery Center at the Tridelphia Community Center. So wanted to
let everybody know that. Again, the deadline is quickly approaching,
which is September twenty second. So, as we said, we're

(11:38):
gonna be mentioning this for a while now because it
is very important. It is very important get the funds.
And here's the thing, there's no there's no shame in it.
It's not a handout you know, there are people that
are that are very proud. That's not what this is.
This is help that is needed. Do not look at

(12:00):
it as anything else, anything else. All Right, I'm too.
You mentioned it's supposed to be pretty warm the next
couple the next week, didn't you. It's supposed to be
in the eighties. Okay, But I want to talk about
heating your home. Here's why. Okay, there's a new house
bill for the state of Ohio. It's House Bill for

(12:22):
twenty seven. What this is, it is a program that
they have come up with. Now, first of all, you
have to opt into it. So as a homeowner, you
have to agree to this. I personally, I live in Ohio.

(12:43):
I don't know if I would, but I understand the reasoning.
What this would do. It would allow utility companies to
manage the energy during peak time from your home. Okay.
So what they can do is they can go in

(13:06):
if you opt in, and adjust the thermostat in your
home during these peak times and it would be temporary,
so they would temporarily adjust settings for again those who
opt in to reduce the energy load on the grid.
As they say, they could slightly raise or lower the

(13:31):
temperature of your water, heater of your furnace. Now, in exchange,
customers would receive compensation, possibly in the form of an
annual payment or a per event fee. Not exactly sure
what that means. By per event fee a discount, I'm

(13:52):
sure people would would appreciate. Now, of course, this is
not the approved through the Ohio House or anything like that.
It's an interesting idea, it is. It really is an
interesting idea because there are I mean, I heard people's

(14:14):
folks energy bills last year to heat their homes were ridiculous,
absolutely ridiculously high. But we had a really excuse me,
we had a really cold winter. But is this is
this opening a door in letting somebody, some entity into

(14:42):
your home to control things within your home. In a way,
it's sort of creepy to me to think that there're
somewhere or some computer somewhere that can say, okay, I
have my heat set on seventy eight. The power grid

(15:04):
has gone above a certain level, so let's get into
such and such house here in Belmont County. We're gonna
get into such and such house here in Jefferson County,
and we're gonna drop it down to seventy five. Is
it overstepping into personal boundaries? It would have to be

(15:34):
a pretty good discount or savings or as they put it,
annual payment to make me consider this. And again I
understand wanting to reduce the strain on the power grid.

(15:57):
And how do they even get into your home to
be able to track all this? I don't know. I
just I saw this and it really it really caught
my attention and said that this is this is more
direct connection within your home. And what I mean by
that is, you know, we we've talked before about if
you have an Alexa in your home and all of

(16:20):
the smart technology that we now have in our home,
are we alone anymore within the walls of our own homes?
You know, we joke that they listen to us. We
joke that you know, they track what we do. Well,
it's actually not a joke. It really isn't. Because if

(16:43):
you're talking about buying, say you're buying new furniture, it's
football season and you want a new TV, a big
screen TV. I bet my bottom dollar within twenty four
hours you're going to see an ad on your social
media talking about best buy or something in TVs. So
is this just another way that they're you know, getting

(17:05):
more and more involved, directly involved within the walls of
our own home. I don't know, I don't know. Would
you sign up for it? Call us one eight hundred
sixty four, eleven seventy, or of course you can text
us seven zero four seven zero is our text line
and start that off with bloom Daddy coming up. We're
talking the Philly Karen bloom Daddy has some thoughts on

(17:29):
it here on news Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
All right, the big story over the weekend was the
woman who went running up to the guy with the
foul ball, screaming vulgar thing, saying, give me the baseball,
and he handed it over to her. This was Friday night.
Harrison Bader hit a home run. Apparently the ball hit
off the woman ricochede. The guy came running over, grabbed
the ball, walked back, gave it to his son, and

(17:53):
this crazy biach comes flying over, ranning and raving saying
that it's her ball, it was her section, so on
and so forth.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
Couple of things here.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
First of all, you know, and I know, when you
go to a baseball game, if you don't catch the ball,
if it's not firmly in your hands. It's fair game,
fair game. It doesn't matter if it bounced off your testicle,
your forehead, your shoulder, it doesn't matter. If you're not
in control of it, that is not your baseball. The
person who is in control of it, that is their baseball.

(18:26):
So that's rule number one. Obviously, this woman has no
idea what she's talking about. But the thing that bothers
me the most. We've seen people act like fools, we've
seen people be ignorant before.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
The thing that bothers me the most is what the
father did. He gave the ball back.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
No.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
When he was asked about this, he said, you know,
I just wanted her to go away. I had a
ten year old son with me, and I thought, you know,
it's better we de escalate the situation. Just give her
what she wants and she'll leave. That is one thousand.
The wrong thing to do. The right thing to do
would have been to get in this woman's face and

(19:04):
say get the hell out of here, or I'm gonna
throw you out of here. Or how about if the
woman with him got up and started throwing hands. That
woman needed her ass whooped big time by de escalating
and letting her walk away with the ball. You just
let somebody who was one hundred percent in the wrong
get their way. You just enabled somebody who's going to

(19:26):
do it again to somebody else. Whether it's a baseball,
a parking spot, a shopping cart. This woman thinks she
should get her way no matter what, and it's up
to people like you and me to tell people like
her to shove it up her pie hole. There's no
way I would have given that ball back. And you

(19:46):
know situations I was thinking about this. If I was
at that game with my ex wife, that woman would
have got her head torn.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
Off, not by me, by the X.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
And that's exactly what should have happened in the situation
like that, because you know what that woman will think
twice before she does something like that again. De Escalating, enabling,
handing a ball over, allowing somebody who's wrong to be
right is exactly what's wrong with society because then these
people just do it over and over and over. She

(20:19):
had no right to that baseball. There's not a chance
I'd have given it to her. We had a situation
with Braylan when he played in the College League two
summers ago up near Dayton in Springfield, hits his first
home run in the College League.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Wanted the baseball.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Some guy, old guy sitting in a chair grabbed it
out in right field. I sent my son over to
ask for the baseball politely, my middle son. He comes back,
he said, the guy said no. I said, you're kidding me.
He guys said no. He said he wouldn't give it
to me. I gave him twenty dollars and I said,
go ask the guy kindly again. Say it's your brother's
first home run this summer. Here's twenty dollars for the baseball,

(20:56):
and we'll get him another baseball to replace it.

Speaker 7 (20:58):
And I told Cad and if he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Agree, you've got my permission to say whatever you want
to that guy. Guy wouldn't do it, So KAY read
him the Riot Act and that was the end of it,
because you know, I mean, he got the ball, he
secured the ball. In that situation, I've got no leverage
other than, hey, here's twenty bucks, and why don't you
do the right thing and you know, give the ball

(21:21):
back to the family of the kid who hit it.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
But this guy wanted to be a douche nozzle.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
That's the way it goes in that situation at that
ball game the other night, though she had no legitimate
right to that baseball whatsoever. And I cannot believe this
guy did what he did. Now, on the flip side,
this woman just ruined her life. I mean, she's on memes,
she's being made fun of everywhere.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
I don't know anybody that would.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Even want to associate with this woman after how she
acted on national television and now how she's getting blown
up all over the place on social media, and she
won hundred percent deserves every bit of it, because this
lady is the essence of the B word. I mean,
sam Otis, what are your thoughts on this one?

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, first of all, I love the fact that you
fit in douche nozzle. That is one of my go
tos for a lot of people. But no, I love
the I really appreciate you, and I spoke about this yesterday, Otis.
But I love his his direction with this because what
this is an example of is the squeaky wheel. She's

(22:26):
the squeaky wheel, and as a society, those of us
with common sense have bowed down to the squeaky wheels
a bit, and they are running away with things. And
I think that's one of the reasons we see where

(22:47):
we've gotten to today, because they get the attention, they
get the memes, they get the videos, the headlines, the stories,
they paint the picture because they're the loudest voice on
a particular topic. Because they're so loud, they get the coverage,

(23:13):
which then makes it look like that is the side
you should side with. And this is a prime example
of the father. You know, should he have backed down
to her? No, But in the same regards, you can't
blame the guy because if he would have stood there

(23:33):
arguing with this older female and it was caught on video,
then he could have been painted as you know, here's
this guy beating up on a woman just over a
baseball and he you know this and that, and then
he would have looked like the bad guy. So people
have gotten to a point where they just don't want conflict.

(23:55):
It's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's worth
just walking away for your own mental.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Ability, just you know sound don't you think I don't
fault the guy for giving in. He's got his family there.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, two small children right this time, twelve year old ten,
twelve year old ten thirteen year old something like that.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
So I don't fault him for for for not escalating
the situation. In fact, I kind of give him credit
because I don't know if I could have done it,
I probably would have been the a hole that would
have told her with multiple f bombs. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because that's that's how I roll, all right, And I

(24:45):
would have probably I would have probably told my my
my thirteen year old and my ten year old or
however old they are, to go to the concession stand,
to go to the restroom, go someplace.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
His twenty bucks, go get a pretzel, you know whatever.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Well, it doesn't matter because everything's cashless. So but anyway,
you know, so I would have probably done that and
then handled it this way and then I just and
then i'd have told, hey, send security down, send an
usher down, do something while you leave. I don't know
if the white if there was a wife there or not.
You couldn't tell in the in the video, but I

(25:20):
would have told my family exit stage left, and I'll
handle crazy lady. And she would have if she, I
would have kept her from following them, you know, whether
I had and I'm sure if I had just put
my hands out like this, Look, you're not following my family,
and if she walks into me, that's her fault. But
I'm not going to lay a hand on her. But

(25:41):
I'm also not going to let her get past me.
So I mean I get it. In the long run,
the kid, the kid won, oh yeah, wins because dad
back down. So I mean, the perks that this kid
is getting are going to be in are already incredible.
I mean, he's got the Harrison Beta autograph, bat, he's

(26:03):
got the gift bag with the baseballs from the Marlins.
If the guy from the Camping World is sending him
to the World Series, I mean, what else can you
ask for?

Speaker 8 (26:12):
Right?

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Because it sure is how I ain't gonna be the
Marlins in the World Series. I can tell you that.
I mean, he's a Phillies fan. But you know, I
mean I get it. I get why the guy back down.
In Lesson learned, like, if this happens to you, back down,
if it's because you know you're on camera, well, don't.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
You get tired though of always hearing be their bigger person,
don't you know? But in certain situations you have to
in certain Yeah, and.

Speaker 6 (26:38):
This was a situation and he did the right thing
with his kids there.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Okay, take the I get that, pack the.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Kids out of it. Then it's a free for all.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Well, and that's that was my point is sometimes being
the bigger person is not the direction, because some people
need to be put in their place.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
I've never caught a foul ball at a Major League
baseball game. But if I caught one now and there
was nobody around me, that's a different story. If I
got one now and there's a kid around, I'm giving
it to the kid. Yeah, I mean, because that's going
to make their entire life. If they've never gotten one,
or they never get one, that's the one that's gonna

(27:16):
you know that that they're going to remember that forever.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Where do you think Philly Karen is today in hiding?

Speaker 6 (27:22):
She's in Hitler's bunker.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Oh maybe Heraldo or Finder one.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
Day al Capone's vault.

probably get in trouble. Can't tell you that. On the
podcast they.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Saw our friends at River City, of course, And if
you have any questions about the food, if it's any good,
give a call to pon Z and he's out in
Saint Clairsville. They won it last week and they absolutely
loved their lunch. So that, of course you can still
register Sam at iHeartMedia dot com otis I was on

(28:53):
theme today. On theme today, okay, it is now holiday
care bears, share your care today. That's the holiday national holiday.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
No, you have a care beer mug every day, so
don't think that you did it just for today.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
Don't you don't don't burn the rest of them save them.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
No, I'm not okay, okay, I was like, burn what
I'm not burning anything? Oh no, So anyways, give a
give a hug for your It's okay to be kind.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Did I not give you something this morning?

Speaker 4 (29:35):
You did?

Speaker 5 (29:36):
You did?

Speaker 7 (29:36):
You did?

Speaker 5 (29:37):
You're a very good gift giver.

Speaker 6 (29:39):
I brought I brought you. You brought me back coffee
from Jamaica. I brought you back a cutting board from
Dresden and it has laser ingraved in it, the Dresden Dynamit.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
By the way, I don't want to use it.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Well, then just despite it.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
You'd be okay with that.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Okay, doesn't have to use it, okay. But I also
picked you up when I was in Damn. I picked
you up a little print and it's very pretty of
some tulips on a window sill with the canal and
the background sunshine little sunshine and some Dutch buildings there.
And the reason I didn't give it to you earlier
was because I had some matting done and then I

(30:17):
put it in a frame for you. I hate that.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
I hate dealing with that.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
I'm not going to get into that.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
I know it's just one of those I don't want to.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
I don't want to throw anybody under the bus.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Now there are things, there are things ridiculously expensive, yes,
like picture frames and matting and all that kind of stuff.
I will do everything in my power to avoid that.
Along with buying clothes that have to be ironed, I
make it a point not to buy clothes. Obviously I
have to be ironed.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
I had to get custom matting because everything that I
bought in Europe was odd. It's like they can't do
anything four by six, five by seven, eight by ten whatever.
So it was like, good lord, it's.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Those little things in life that should start.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
So I got I've got more in the matting that
I do in the actual probably the pictures, and I bought.
I bought two bigger ones for my mom and one
for my dad. I bought something for my dad or
something for my mom, and then I bought three of
those that size. And then I have another one that's
I had made that it's all in one mat but

(31:23):
it's three five by.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
Seven, so it's the size of a baseball car.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
It's matted for five by seven. The things aren't five
by seven. That's it's it's a weird. It was like
a weird size. It was like four and six. I
mean it was like four and three eighths by you know,
and I'm like, good, like six and five eighths and
I'm like, you can't just you couldn't have gone four

(31:47):
by six or five by seven.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
No, no, no, that makes that makes life.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Damn Europeans freaking metric systems. They're probably centimeters and every thing.
That's probably how they do it.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
I'll see, I'm done. I'm done. I am. I am
absolutely terrible with with measurements. My husband actually yesterday was
making fun of me because I can't read a tape
measure it just I'm bad. I'm bad. I'm terrible at
math all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
So I probably should have made the matting another sixteenth
of an inch smaller, because it's like right on the
edge on everything, like I did an eighth. I gave
myself an eighth of an inch on you know, the top,
bottom and left and right, which made it a sixteenth
of an inch on each side.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
That means nothing to me.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
I probably should have I should have probably gone and
ateh at the top and an eighth that.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
The see you saying sixteenth of an inch one eighth
of an inch. All that stuff that means absolutely nothing
to me. All I know on a tape measure is
the big number from one to two, that's an inch.
All those little itsy bitsy little things nothing means nothing.
Ask me to do fractions new, new, new, I don't know.

(33:10):
I just it is something that I was never ever
able to grasp. Ever, it drives my husband nuts, drives
him nuts, But it's just one of my my quirks,
but my loving quirks. But isn't it amazing when you're
dealing with little things like this. It's just a picture frame.

(33:32):
It's a beautiful little picture frame, and it's very nice,
it's very nicely done. But the amount of stress, the
amount of driving back and forth from a store, all
of that that you put into it just because of this.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Well, the funny thing is like the three small ones,
because like they're madded, they're matted for a five by
seven frames, so I don't know what the cutout size is,
but they're madded for a five by seven frame, and
three three five by seven's were almost as much as
the two big ones I had done that were thirteen
by nineteen. And I explained that one to you. I

(34:08):
can't no, like their their pricing system. I'm like, are
you just throwing out numbers or like, okay, the three
of these, we'll do ten dollars a piece. The big one, Oh,
that's twelve dollars apiece. I'm like, what how do you
come to.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
That they have?

Speaker 6 (34:24):
They have the little b I'm going to argue because.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
I am Oh gosh, well that was worthless.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
It was a worthless segment.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Oh it's only Tuesday, folks, It's only Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Seven fifty eight. On the bloom Daddy Experience, back after.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
This, the number one talk show in the Ohio Valley.
This is no bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy
his goal in entertain and tick people off. The bloom
Daddy Experience on news Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
News Radio eleven seventy gets the bloom Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eighth six. Let's get this hour rolling Jim or
an Acy, former Congressman Blue Daddy Show the Political aand listen,
what about the vig ramas Swami running for governor on
the Republican side. And I saw an article where a
bunch of Ohio donors are ditching Tim Ryan and pouring
nearly two hundred and twenty thousand into the Vakes Governor's bid.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Your thoughts on that, well.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Look, Pavey got out early. He's really the only viable
candidate right now. And I think when you're a Democrat,
and especially if you're a business man or woman Democrat,
and you know that Levek is probably going to be
the next governor unless somebody steps up, you're going to donate.
And I think that's exactly what's happening here, unless there's
a viable challenger that steps up. I do believe that

(35:56):
you're going to see Democrats, Independence and Republicans supporting Vek.
Now that doesn't mean we shall have a lot of
time we have till February next year that somebody doesn't
step up. And what it also doesn't mean is that
there won't be donors. You know, I saw this when
I ran against Sheriff down in twenty eighteen. They were
writing checks to share it. They were writing checks to me.
They try and play both sides. You'll get some of

(36:17):
that too as well. But right now, Vivek is a
guy who most likely people believe will be the next governor.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
You know Amy Acton is out there. Jim Ryan, do
you think there is any viable candidate on the Democratic
side looking or could give Vivek a run for his
money as of right now?

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Well I don't, but that doesn't mean somebody can't step
up and do something. I mean, I always say politics
is a thirty day game, sixty day game. There's a
lot of time between now and February, and then between
February and November. But right now, I think Vek's running
a great campaign. He's talking about issues that need to
be fixed in Ohio, and it's going to be very

(36:58):
difficult for anyone to step in and really upset that
apple cart.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Let's jump over to Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
We've seen it before, trying to label this guy a
racist and everything else. It didn't work in the last election.
You think that Democrats would learn, but here they go again.
Now you know the headline. He wants to make it
legal to only hire white men. Trump to end basic
civil rights rule. And they're talking about the Labor Department
wanting to scrap the Civil Rights protection. It's been a

(37:28):
place since Lyndon Johnson and it requires federal contractors, not
according to this article not just to avoid discrimination, but
to actively ensure equal opportunity and hiring and promotions covering race, gender, religion.
Do you believe for a second that Trump wants to
make it legal to only hire white men, or is
Trump trying to actually say, no, this is reverse discrimination

(37:52):
against white men. And let's end quotas where people who
are not the best qualified for the job are getting
high just because of the color of their skin.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Well, look, President Trump did sign Executive Order one four
one seventy three back in January, which revokes Executive Order
one one two four six signed by Linda Johnson. But
the executive order only removes a firm of action requirements
but does not permit discrimination. That's the key here, and
anybody who says anything else, it's going to come from

(38:25):
a Democrat trying to say, oh, he wants to discriminate
and only hire white people. That is so ridiculous and
in fact, bloom daddy. This really most affects federal contractors.
It gets them to eliminate a firm of action plans
diversity hiring. But even they cannot ignore the Civil Rights Act,
the Equal Pay Act, the EEOC oversight, and it also

(38:48):
can't ignore state law, and that's a real key. If
a state law is in place, that also has to
be followed by contractors. So again, this is all the
high perb believe that we see in races in politics
when people want to try and one up and especially

(39:09):
attack President Trump. This is a great executive order because
it does eliminate affirmative action requirements and as you said,
kind of does eliminates for first discrimination as well.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
When do you think Democrats are going to realize that
trying to paint this guy is satan or a racist
or whatever has blown up in their face, but yet
they continue down this road.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
I think he gets good at work.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Well, here's what's going to happen. As we get closer
and closer the race. There's going to be lots of
polls come out, and I think they're going to continue.
They've got to find Look in politics, you have to
find the weakness, and all it takes is one weakness
to ruin any particular candidate or any elected official, and
they'll keep throwing stuff up on the wall and hoping

(39:57):
it sticks. This one's not going to stick. This is
definitely but you're going to have all kinds of things
thrown at President Trump because he is the face of
the party right now. And let's face it, the next
big election or the election for House members and Senate
members in twenty twenty six and they've got to keep
hitting the wall and seeing what sticks so they can
go after Republicans in the House in a Senate.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
All right, Jim, I always appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Thank you, Yeah, thank you. Go guardians.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
When did we get away from the concept that the
person who is most qualified for position is who should
get the job, who should hold the position? When did
we get away from that thought process.

Speaker 8 (40:47):
About twenty five years ago. It's unfortunate because it's good
when it all started with Bush Gore in the hanging chads,
and then that started the conspirac theories and everything else.

Speaker 6 (41:01):
And then the next thing, you know, you know, and
then it was who Bush run against the second time
carry or something like that. I can't remember, yes, And
then it was Obama, but you know, Obama was this,
you know, the savior foreveracon of Yeah, and then then
you had Trump and Hillary. You know, I mean, in reality,

(41:23):
in that twenty sixteen election, before you knew Donald Trump,
you know, you got to vote for the lesser of
two evils, you know, I mean, because you're thinking, well,
you sure as hell don't want Hillary in there? Do
I really want Trump in there? At the time I was,
I wasn't sure. Oh yeah, you know. Then once he

(41:43):
got into office, I was like, oh, okay, Well, like
some of the things that he's doing. You know, he's
getting railroad or the steamrolled or you know, their their
stonewalling eme whatever. And then then you got COVID that
you know, and the rules changed.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
Oh, COVID. That time period has completely warped, you know,
this world.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
But the other thing is, I think it may have
been the best thing for Donald Trump was to lose
that election, because it showed how bad the Democrat, the
Democrat Party is, you know. I mean, you've got a
guy that can't complete a sentence in office, and then
you got the vice presidents, the cackling you know, the

(42:26):
wicked witch of the West.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Well, and here's the thing. I also think losing in
twenty twenty, I think it made Trump take a step back,
kind of step out of the spotlight and reevaluate some things.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
Absolutely. I mean, he learned from his mistakes.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
And there's not many people that can say that on
the scale that he sits.

Speaker 6 (42:54):
On, and it also gave him time to prepare. If
he'd have won his second his second term would have
been probably a continuation of the first term. But by losing,
he got to sit back see the failures his own
and Biden's and then take that and run with it.

Speaker 5 (43:15):
Well, one thing we've always talked about is how quickly
things are moving, how much is being accomplished. It's a
shock to the system for the people. It's a shock
to the system for the swamp. But I think that
time period, to your point, he was able to during
that time period say okay, if I win a second term,

(43:36):
I'm going in guns of blazon and I'm ready. Like
he had the game plan laid out. That's how it
has been able to happen so quickly.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
They had the people in line who he knew for
the most part, he knew who he wanted in certain positions,
you know, and it was just a matter of could
they maintain their integrity or whatever to you know, get
into that spot. We saw that it didn't happen with
one alleged you know, the guy that was he was
going to a point I can't even remember who it

(44:04):
was now no, yes, a guy that even totally just
stepped away from you. I think so, and then you know,
but you know, I mean he had he for the
most part, he got everybody in that he wanted to
get it.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
He had his chessboard ready to go. Yeah, yeah, and
he and he will say, and I've heard him say
where he looks back at his first term and realizes
when he moved into d C he wasn't ready for
the game. Now this time around, he was ready for
the game.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (44:34):
So eight fifteen, you're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back to
the bloom Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA.
Where oh there it is. My apologies, folks, too many

(44:57):
papers piling up on each other. One jump into some
local news. A quick reminder and we're going to be
reminding you. So, whether it's you that were affected, family friends,
this is important FEMA. The deadline is approaching that if
you were affected in Ohio County during the June floods

(45:18):
September twenty second, I'm going to say that again September
twenty second is the last day that they will be
taking applications for FEMA for the victims of the June flooding. Now,
of course, you can do the applications online, by phone,
or in person at the Disaster Recovery Center, which is
located at the Tridelphia Community Center. Again, the last day

(45:40):
will be September twenty second, so if you are in
need of that, put that on your calendar. Also, in
order for a mental health evaluation for the defendant in
an animal cruelty case in Jewet, Ohio has delayed. The trial.
Investigators found thirty five animals dead in a Jewet house household,
which happened in May. A Harrison County grand jury issued

(46:04):
indictments against Jamie Wright and Stacy Weimer. The mental evaluation
has been scheduled for Wimer, who has been to two
pre trials so far, and a resta warrant remains in
effect for Wright, who has not been located at this
point in time. I've talked many times I hate animal cruelty.
I think it is one of the most vile things

(46:26):
on the planet that people can do. I am an
animal lover, and it just I can't even imagine, especially
animals that are family pets. You know, they depend on us.
They're called man's especially dogs. They're called man's best friend
for a reason. They are there to be our companions.

(46:46):
And for people who do things like this just it
repulses me. And then some good news the renowned Harlan Globetrotters.
They're celebrating their one hundred year and they're stopping and wheeling.
This be happening next year and it's part of their
centennial tour. I can't believe they've been around one hundred years.

(47:07):
They will play at west Bank Arena on April April twelfth,
and the tickets will go on sale September twenty second.
After the game, the team will be available for meet
and greets autographed session with all ticket holders. I have
never seen the Globetrotters ever. I know, ever, I can't
believe they've been around one hundred years.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
It's not the same guys, Why hope not?

Speaker 5 (47:34):
That'd be impressive if.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
No, I think, I think the globe Trotters were. I mean,
they've always been.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
I don't even think about basketball being around one hundred years.

Speaker 6 (47:41):
But I guess entertaining the Globetrotters have always been entertaining,
but I think they hit their peak in the seventies
because of ABC's wide World Sports. They were on several
times a year. It sometimes plastic locations, like they'd play
outside on a beach, you know, with just you know,

(48:04):
build up stands, and you had you had characters. You
had metaw Ark Lemon, you had Curly Neil, I think,
both of who were in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
And they had their they had their own cartoon.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
I remember the cartoon.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
They they they were the cartoon. Also. They were also
in a couple episodes of Scooby Doo. I mean, you know,
so you know, I remember that they you know, they
they were huge, like from nineteen seventy to about nineteen
seventy six, and then.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
It was kind of like them and WWF wrestling.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Wasn't even WWF at that time. It was that was
the regional wrestling they were. That was before WWF. WWF
didn't take off until like the late seventies early eighties.
And but yeah, I mean the Globetrotters, you know, and
of course, you know, you have to you know, some
of the skits that they do are the same skits,

(49:03):
you're in, you're out, but you're you're you're catering to
a different audience because a lot of people will take
their kids and then the kids grow up and then
now you get a new set of kids, and then
those kids bring their kids, you know, So it's a
it's a tradition. It's a family tradition, and it's you know,
it's kind of it's I mean, I remember taking my

(49:25):
kids and it just you know, they loved it. And
I remember going as a kid. I remember working some
of the Globe Trotter games. Uh you know shows when
because they're there's a game there, but it's a show.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
Well that's what makes me think of the Savannah Bananas,
the baseball, the dancing.

Speaker 6 (49:42):
Yeah, it's kind of it's it's the Globe Trotters on
a baseball.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Yeah, they are a black I see their little videos
on social media sometimes I can't stop watching them.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
Well it took them one day and they recreated the
Phillies Marlins with the Lady in the baseball, which we'll
be talking about it next.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
So I would love to go see them. The Savannah
Banana I know, and I had no idea they were
even coming I didn't even I didn't even see that anywhere.
I would love to go see them. So, yeah, the
the Globetrotters are returning to West Bank Arena April twelfth.

Speaker 6 (50:17):
And if you have kids and they've never seen them,
take your kids. Yeah, I just that's that's coming from
a parent.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
You know.

Speaker 6 (50:25):
It doesn't matter if they're boys or girls.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Yeah, well there's a girl now on the team.

Speaker 6 (50:28):
There's a couple of them, is there a couple? Yeah?
So I mean, you know, it's it's it's good entertainment.
It's a couple hours of your day.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Well, we may know some people, We may know some people.
Maybe we could get some.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
Giveaways, some tickets.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
Yeah, that would be fun. Maybe we could get a
globetrotter in here.

Speaker 6 (50:52):
I've interviewed a globetrotter before, have you when I was
on the other station. Wwk oh the fact that I
think we've interviewed two of them, so yeah, maybe we could.
And a lot of the Globetrotters played college basketball someplace
or they but they just have a talent, you know that.
You know, whether they can they have the high flying dunks,

(51:15):
or they can they can shoot from half court or
you know whatever it is. I mean, they they've perfected
a talent that along with their basketball abilities, they've also have,
you know, some sort of entertainment.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
It's like tricks as opposed to.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
Kind of like a trick skill, Like, well, it's a skill,
definitely be it definitely skill.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
But it's not it doesn't translate to the traditional basketball. Yes,
there we go. Boy, that was a long way around
to get to that. It was long way around. Looking
at me, I'm nuts. Eight twenty eight. You're listening to
the bloom Daddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
All right, The big story over the weekend was the
woman who went running up to the guy with the
foul ball, screaming vulgar thing, saying, give me the baseball,
and he handed it over to her. This was Friday night.
Harrison Bader hit a home run. Apparently the ball hit
off the woman, Rick achede.

Speaker 7 (52:20):
The guy came.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Running over, grabbed the ball, walked back, gave it to
his son, and this crazybiac comes flying over, ranning and
raving saying that it's her ball, it was in her section.

Speaker 7 (52:33):
So on and so forth. Couple of things here.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
First of all you know, and I know, when you
go to a baseball game, if you don't catch the ball,
if it's not firmly in your hands, it's fair game,
fair game. It doesn't matter if it bounced off your testicle,
your forehead, your shoulder, it doesn't matter. If you're not
in control of it, that is not your baseball. The
person who is in control of it, that is their baseball.

(52:59):
So that's rule number one. Obviously, this woman has no
idea what she's talking about.

Speaker 7 (53:04):
But the thing that bothers me the most.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
We've seen people act like fools, we've seen people be
ignorant before. The thing that bothers me the most is
what the father did. He gave the ball back.

Speaker 6 (53:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
When he was asked about this, he said, you know,
I just wanted her to go away. I had a
ten year old son with me, and I thought, you know,
it's better we de escalate the situation. Just give her
what she wants and she'll leave. That is one thousand
percent the wrong thing to do. The right thing to
do would have been to get in this woman's face

(53:37):
and say get the hell out of here, or I'm
gonna throw you out of here, or how about if
the woman with him got up and started throwing hands,
that woman needed her.

Speaker 7 (53:45):
Ass whooped big time.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
By de escalating and letting her walk away with the ball,
you just let somebody who was one hundred percent in
the wrong get their way. You just enabled somebody who's
gonna do it again to somebody else, whether it's a baseball,
a parking spot, a shopping cart. This woman thinks she
should get her way no matter what, and it's up

(54:09):
to people like you and me to tell people like
her to shove it up her pie hole. There's no
way I would have given that ball back. And you
know situations I was thinking about this. If I was
at that game with my ex wife, that woman would
have got her head torn off, not by me, by
the ex And that's exactly what should have happened in

(54:31):
a situation like that, because you know what that woman
will think twice before she does something like that again.
De Escalating, enabling, handing a ball over, allowing somebody who's
wrong to be right is exactly what's wrong with.

Speaker 7 (54:46):
Society because then these people just.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Do it over and over and over. She had no
right to that baseball. There's not a chance I'd have
given it to her. We had a situation with Braylan
when he played in the College League two summers ago,
up near Dayton in Springfield. Hits his first home run
in the College League. Wanted the baseball. Some guy, old
guy sitting in a chair, grabbed it out in right field.

(55:09):
I sent my son over to ask for the baseball politely,
my middle son. He comes back, he said, the guy
said no. I said, you're kidding me. He guys said no.
He said he wouldn't give it to me. I gave
him twenty dollars and I said, go ask the guy
kindly again. Say it's your brother's first home run this summer.
Here's twenty dollars for the baseball, and we'll get him
another baseball to replace it. And I told cad and

(55:31):
if he doesn't agree, you've got my permission to say
whatever you want to that guy.

Speaker 7 (55:37):
Guy wouldn't do it. So cad Re read him the
Riot Act and that was the end of it, because
you know, I mean, he got the ball, he secured
the ball.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
In that situation, I've got no leverage other than hey,
here's twenty bucks, and why don't you do the right thing,
and you know, give the ball back to the family
of the kid who hit it.

Speaker 7 (55:55):
But this guy wanted to be a douche nozzle.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
That's the way it goes in that situation at that
ball game the other night, though she had no legitimate
right to that baseball whatsoever. And I cannot believe this
guy did what he did. Now, on the flip side,
this woman just ruined her life. I mean, she's on memes,
she's being made fun of everywhere. I don't know anybody
that would even want to associate with this woman after

(56:18):
how she acted on national television and now how she's
getting blown up all over the place.

Speaker 7 (56:24):
On social media.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
And she won hundred percent deserves every bit of it,
because this lady is the essence of the B word.
I mean, sam otis, what are your thoughts on this one?

Speaker 5 (56:35):
Boy? I'd be so proud if that was my wife
or mother.

Speaker 6 (56:38):
There's one person that's super happy about all this. The
Polish ceo that stole the hat at the US Open
off the kid.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
I didn't even see that there was.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
A tennis player he autographed a hat and he was
handing it to a kid, and the guy grabs it
and throws it in his bag and they identified him.
He's a Polish guy. He's a CEO of some company,
and he was getting crucified and he said it was
a mistake because he thought the guy was handing it
to him, but he was handed You could tell he's
directly handed it to the little kid in front of him.

(57:10):
But yeah, that guy, he's now saved from social media.

Speaker 5 (57:14):
Yeah, I never even saw that story.

Speaker 6 (57:16):
Oh yeah, it was all over social media.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
Although the tennis is not something I pay close attention to. No, No,
it's just people just get away with things. And it's
so it's so refreshing to see people finally calling people
like this out, you know, I mean, it's just it's

(57:38):
just ugly. This is a good That woman was probably
in her fifties acting like a tool.

Speaker 6 (57:44):
I may have said this yesterday, but you know, a
foul ball with a baseball game is like a fumble
win a football game. Just because your hand touches the
ball does not mean you recovered it. It goes to
the person that recovered the football. So the ball may
have hit your hand, the ball may have hit you
in the shoulder, wherever it hits you, you didn't catch it.

(58:05):
It's a it's fair game. So you know, sorry about
your luck.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
Well, and it wasn't as if it was like some significant.

Speaker 6 (58:14):
No, just Harrison Bader hits a home run.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
I mean, it wasn't like five hundred no whatever.

Speaker 6 (58:20):
He's never going to get to five hundred. Wasn't like
he's a one hundred anyways, you know.

Speaker 5 (58:24):
What I mean? It has no no. Yeah, but she
she is. She is in a bunker somewhere. I wonder
where she works. Has that come out yet or if.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
She does, well, obviously she I'm assuming she lives somewhere
in Florida, you know, around Miami. I would guess could
you imagine.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
If that was your mother?

Speaker 6 (58:43):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (58:46):
In a way?

Speaker 5 (58:46):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, but she is, she is. She
is somewhere hiding, staying away from the world, staying away
from the world. Goodness, you know what do you know who? Well,

(59:08):
you asked me this, You're gonna know Henry Thomas. Does
that name sound familiar to anybody out there?

Speaker 6 (59:13):
You need to save this, Oh, you want to save it?
Even that's Oh, I want to give it to I
want to give it to Kevin.

Speaker 5 (59:20):
Oh I did you didn't say that You've got it?

Speaker 6 (59:22):
You've got to anything like this anytime I do something
one of those days or birthdays or whatever, it's it's
I normally if I print him off, it's because I
want to save him for Kevin.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
Oh okay, well, you've got to tell me this. You've
got to tell me.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
You should know these things.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
You know, most of the time I can read minds
most of the time. You know, sometimes I have a
day where it's just not as not as quick. So
I was talking to some people and they have interest
in going to this. I do not otis do you
use so the Have you seen the images? I will
say this, they're really really cool. The Las Vegas Sphere,

(59:59):
the the Wizard of Oz what would you even call it?
And are screening entertainment event.

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
I mean just a movie. I mean they're playing the
movie at the sphere.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
Yeah, but the outside is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
When they do that, it's like the it's the promotion.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
Yeah, it's really cool though. So this digital presentation of
the Wizard of Oz is earning approximately now this is daily,
folks daily, two million dollars, with tickets priced around two
hundred dollars each. I've seen some pictures on social media
of people I know who have gone and said, it's
absolutely amazing. It's positioned to generate over a billion dollars

(01:00:39):
in revenue. A billion dollars. When did the Wizard of
Oz come out?

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Nineteen thirty nine?

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
Oh you knew that off the top of your head. Okay,
that's impressive. Think about that. This is a movie from
nineteen thirty nine. A billion dollars they're going to generate
off of this. I would go see it now. The
Wizard of Oz is not my thing. I think I've
seen it once or twice. That's it. Not my thing.
But what they have done with this and the legs

(01:01:06):
sitting outside of it, it's it's it's really cool. It's
completely different than I think we've ever seen they do
something like this with a movie, let alone a movie
this old. They're thinking about doing this with some other films.
We'll see what they do with that. But a billion
dollars from the Wizard of Oz. From the Wizard of

(01:01:27):
Oz Out in Vegas. Out in Vegas, eight forty five.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. We have returned, say fifty Blue Daddy

(01:01:57):

a little spicy last night for Otis thanks to this guy,
Kevin cook Straw aboutomotive. Good morning, Kevin.

Speaker 9 (01:02:09):
How y'all doing well?

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
Ask that gentleman in there.

Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
So I went. I went to the store and I
found Mike's Hot Honey okay, And there were some other
hot honeys there next to it. I think there's a
Melinda's and something that one's got hobbin arrow, one was
Chilly something, and there was some other brand. I don't
know what it was. But the Mike's Hot Honey that
I saw, the only one that they had there was
extra hot okay. So I'm thinking, I wonder if this is,

(01:02:34):
you know, what he's talking about. So I buy it.
I get a jar of crunchy peanut butter, okay, okay,
I go home. I take I opened up the thing,
take the seal off the honey, so the little bit
of the honey's on my fingers, which was a mistake,
and I put two little drops on a spoonful of

(01:02:56):
crunchy peanut butter.

Speaker 9 (01:02:57):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:02:58):
I ended up eating half of the jar of the
peanut butter because the hot was still there, So I'm
gonna give you the bottle of Extra Hot.

Speaker 9 (01:03:07):
Okay, I've never had the Extra Hot don Mike's Hot Honey. Okay,
I didn't even know they made Extra Hot. You know,
show you how much I pay you too.

the hood of my car, I would eat the paint
off the whole hood.

it to the point where it it makes you miserable.

been one that I could have tried.

Bourbon old fashioned too with cinnamon bitters.
