Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well the computer stayed on this time, folks. We made
it at seven thirty six. The Blue Daddy Experience. Sam
and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWV eight. We're talking
pranks this morning. We're talking pranks. So we want to
know your most memorable pranks that you pulled off in school,
whether junior high, high school, college, it doesn't matter. Memorable

(00:25):
pranks could have been on friends, teachers. Usually teachers are
the brunt of the jokes. So I have mine. Otis
has an armory full of that. He's got stories on
So you want me to go first, okay, because I'm
sure yours are going to just completely stomp out mine.
So mine is real simple. It was our freshman year

(00:48):
of high school. Now keep in mind, at that point
in time, Buckeye Local was basically a brand new facility.
Everything was shiny and sparkly, and you know, you didn't
want to mess up anything. Well, there was a group
of us that absolutely could not stand this one particular class,
and we decided that we needed to bring super glue

(01:11):
into the school. And we had one teacher that constantly
used the chalkboard. You remember those things, right, not white boards,
not digital boards. The old school chalkboard, and the way
she wrote and squealed that was awful, was an awful sound.

(01:36):
We super glued everything to the little what would you
even call it where they would sit everything the base.
We super glued where they would sit the that's it,
like the eraser and everything. She went to get the
eraser and could not. For the life of her, she

(01:56):
couldn't pick it up. She went to grab it, come on, looked,
she looked at all confused, all confused. Looked again, couldn't
get it. Yeah, we super glued everything to that ledge.
So she didn't find it very funny, not even close.
It was that considered.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Did you get called out for it? Oh? Yes, like
individually or is a class?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It was more of a class. Okay, No, no, actually
nobody rad it on one another. So that was that
was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
But yeah, she principal involved it all.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
No, no, it didn't go that far. She just she
kind of took it as a champ but didn't find
it funny either, So I know that's probably minimum.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's not bad.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So when I was in junior high, my dad was
the principal. So this is probably why we got away
with a little more than we probably should have. But
we had in for language arts. We had the same
teacher for language arts in the seventh grade and eighth grade,
and great teacher. Her name, she's married to Jim squib
Julie Squib is her name. Okay, she got married while

(03:00):
we were in school. So but anyway, she was she
was a very good teacher, and she she would have
some fun with you. Okay, she called me obnoxious. I
really don't understand where that came from.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But I've all remained quiet on that comment.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
So we got it in our heads and it was
all in the two years. Was basically the same, same class,
you know, same people in the class, the whole works
and some of the some of the culprits were Paul
Good and George Yates and and Kevin Coleman, and they
can't there might be a few others. I just don't
recall off the top of my head. So one time

(03:40):
we had missus Squibb. She's sitting at her desk, and
we got some of the students to distract her, like
by going up to her desk and asking questions and
having her look to the side. Wow, I took the
shoelaces out of my high tops. And I don't know
if it was me and another person or just me,
but while she was sitting at her desk and her

(04:02):
chair had wheels, so we tied we took the shoelaces
and tied her chair to her desk. Okay, so the
legs on the desk to the just the legs on
the on the wheels on. So when she went to
back out, she couldn't and she couldn't the way she
was seated, she couldn't reach down to untie anything.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You pulled this off while she was sitting in the
chair at the time. Yep, that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
She didn't see us get out of the desk, see you,
because we had people distracting her. And I mean, I
think she was mad at first, and then she kind
of was like, Okay, I can appreciate this because you
guys pulled this off. You know what I mean. You
get that like you get that first initial like oh damn,
and then the next thing, you know, it's like, it's

(04:49):
impressive they pulled that off. You know, you gotta you
gotta respect it. I think she did. And then we
pulled There was a couple other ones, but one of
the our ninth grade year, we ended up with a
different teacher that was in the room directly below, so
that she was on the second floor. This sort of
we had to get out to the first floor directly
underneath one another. So the one time, the whole class

(05:12):
just went upstairs and went and sat in the other classroom.
We just we just we just all went up there
and sat and the next thing, you know, my dad
comes in and he just looks at everybody. He goes,
get to where you're supposed to be, and we all
just darted down the steps back into the classroom. And
the prank that went wrong, that's so.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Stupid, but so simple.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, the prank that went wrong. There was a story.
There's a short story out there called the Rock, and
it's about somebody getting stoned and everything. Anyway, it lovely, okay,
But the teacher, missus Bronowski, had this piece of granite
rock and it was heavy. It was probably fifty sixty
pounds and it was you know, it was a nice,
big solid piece of granite. We decided we were going

(05:55):
to take it and we hit it in the teacher's
room upstairs. When we went to return it somebody dropped
it in the chat and so she was not happy
about that. That's the prank that went wrong. But one
of the better ones was and this was a spur
of the moment prank we had. Our French teacher was
out sick and you know, is having some medical issues.

(06:16):
So he was out for you know, a couple of weeks,
and we had two guys in our class that were Jewish,
Paul Good and Handy Mentelsohn, and we decided to tell
this substitute teacher that they were foreign exchange students from Israel,
and they spoke nothing but Hebrew the whole time they

(06:37):
were in the class, and he was trying to communicate
with him my idea, but these two. We couldn't have
done it without those two because there's not nobody else
that spoke Hebrew in the class. So but this guy
thought that they were foreign exchange students for probably about
three or four days until my dad got whiped of it. Yeah,

(06:57):
once my dad found out, and I don't know who
rad it out.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh that's but.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
They just they would just talk back. Who they could
have been just talking about cookies or you know, who
knows what.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh, that's great.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
And you know, nobody learned the thing because this guy
couldn't teach French anyway. Oh and we're sitting there and
like the people that are in this class, it was
like impossible to keep a straight face and it's just oh.
But this went on for three or four days and
then like that guy came back. The substitute teacher was

(07:33):
not happy when he found that that we burned him
for four days.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
He didn't he didn't give you any U kudos for Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
No, he wasn't happy. I mean, like he we he
I think he was more I'm gonna say he was.
He was super pissed, to be honest with you, because
we got him.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
It probably made him feel really stupid.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
We did, We did.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
But the fake that I mean teenagers were able to
let it go that long with nobody.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Like it was it was. That was one of the
ones because you just kind of remember it because it
was so stupid, and the fact that it really didn't
disrupt the class because we weren't learning anything anyway with
the substitute. You had a substitute that didn't speak French
and you're in French class, so it's like, okay, read

(08:19):
the workbooks. Well that's not helping us any o.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
So but yeah, there was. There's a few other ones,
but those were the ones that kind of stand out.
The one where we tied her to the desk was
tied her charity to the desk. We didn't tie herd
at the desk, but that that was the one that
was I think was impressed people the.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Most is the fact that she did.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I think the other teachers heard about it and
they were like, that's pretty oppressive. How did you? And
then I guess she got kind of ribbed a little
bit like how did you not know what we're doing
it right?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Or at least question See, I think I'm not good
pulling pranks. I've had them pulled on me and I've
got a really really good one and that was done
to me here at the radio stations when I first started.
And I've got to give this guy credit for this one.
So I'll tell that story when we get back.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
And I had one pulled on me in high school. Okay,
but it was it was it was it was at
a PEP rally, So I'll tell that.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, Yeah, I got to give this guy credit. It's
the best prank I've ever he got me. We'll just
leave it at that, just a reminder we're gonna have
your chance to win later on the show, a pair
of takes to see Elvis Costello. It's our last pair,
so folks be ready, we're gonna be doing that here. Man,
I'm not sure yet, but that's coming up. And then again,

(09:35):
if you want to get in on this, you've got
a great prank that you've pulled or somebody pulled on
you one eight hundred and sixty two four eleven seventy
or of course you can text us seven zero four
seven zero The bloom Daddy Experience here on news Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back seven to fifty one The

(10:01):
Blendaddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
We're talking pranks this morning before we get back to
Otis and I have a message on Facebook from Ronald says,
have a prank that I was told by my mother
when she was in school. The high school football team

(10:22):
in the fifties played a prank on a teacher by
taking her VW beetle, picking it up and placing it
in front of the main doors of the high school,
brought the car up three levels of steps, put it
in front of the front doors of the school, sideways
with the driver door facing the closed school doors. She

(10:44):
was not happy. Only took a few minutes though, to
figure out who pulled who did it?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
All.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, moving an entire car some time you.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Can move in an entire car, that's an impressive prank.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, So I'm going to
tell my story about what happened here. And I know
this is in school, but when I started here at
the radio station, in the sales doing the marketing and
stuff that I do after this is all done, I
was young. I was twenty twenty one, twenty two, right
out of college, right out of college, and I shared

(11:20):
an office with somebody. His name was Jonathan, lovely guy.
He was young too, And when you're a young salesperson,
you know, you're aggressive, you're hungry. And I had a
voicemail on my desk phone and it was, you know,
one of one of these old fashioned phones folks with

(11:41):
like multiple lines, and you know, you'd leave a voicemail
for people. And this was prior to the smartphone in
that whole world, and it's it's you know, hey, I'm
very interested into advertising on I think it was Eagle
one oh seven. I can't remember all the details. And
you know, my name is inside. Please give me a
call back. This is my number. And I call the number,

(12:04):
and I call the number, and it keeps going. It
doesn't ring to anywhere. This call cannot be completed as
dialed right, So then I start using three oh four seven,
four oh six one four. This was back in the day,
trying to figure out why I cannot get this number.
I can't get a hold of this person again. Remember,

(12:26):
I'm like an excited salesperson. My name I was recommended
to this guy. He heard good things about me, all
this kind of stuff, and I'm just like so proud.
I am so proud, so excited. I get in phone books.
I'm trying to figure out, you know, if this I'm
thinking through phone books at this point. This goes on
for like two or three days. So finally I'm walking

(12:48):
around the building and I'm talking to somebody and they're like,
you know, what is the number? Where are you calling?
Why can't you know? And I say all he said
was the number was eight six seven five three oh nine,
and this person Jenny, Jenny, exactly. I had no idea.

(13:12):
Of course I know the song. Of course I've heard
it before. I did not put it together. As I said.
This went on for two or three days, And when
I said the number to the person that asked me,
he looked at me as if I was one of
the dumbest people he had ever met in his life.

(13:33):
And when I say.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I called this number, yeah, When I say I called
this number, I called this number, I can't tell you
how many times.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
And I even I was looking up area codes in Pennsylvania.
I was looking in what everywhere? Yeah, so I thought
that was a pretty good one. Eight six seven five
three oh nine. I have. I felt so dumb.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
So one of the pranks they tried to pull on
me at a Pepperrelly my sophomore year at Wheeling Park,
my mom was a teacher. There were several guys on
the football team that had moms that worked at the school,
so there might have been like two teachers, a secretary
or whatever. So they call you up and you're sitting

(14:20):
out in the middle of the floor and then they
blindfold you and they said, Oh, we're going to have
a cheerleader kiss you, and you have to guess what
cheerleader it is.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
So on the cheek. You know, it's a kiss on
the cheek. So the kiss comes on the cheek, and
I know, I know instantly it's my mom because of
her perfume. There's no high school kid that's wearing my
mom's perfume. I'm just going to tell you that right
off the bat. So and then the more I think
about it, So as I think about it, the people
that they called, I'm thinking all their moms work here

(14:51):
at the school. So like Tim Grove was next to me,
his mom was a secretary, and somebody else's. So I
know it's my mom. I'm the first one. So I'm
trying not to blow it for every the whole, the
whole skit. So I just guessed the cheerleader. I just
picked one at random, right, And they go, oh no, Well,

(15:13):
then the cheerleader was mad because I picked her, Like,
she goes, why would I Why would he pick me?
And I'm like, are you that stupid? You know? Had
I known? I just didn't realize it. Just I just
threw out a name, and then it was like, you know,
it's like I just threw a name out. I knew
it wasn't you. I knew it was my mom, but
I couldn't blow the.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Skit right, and you popped it in my head.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
And that's just that was it, you know, the first one.
You were the first, the first one that popped in
my head. And I tried to because I was a
sophomore at the time, so I tried to pick another sophomore,
you know, so I'm not going to pick it up
her classman that I don't know, rather than by name,
you know. So it was just one of those deals.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
You just don't want to screw everything up, right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
But like I was telling you, Durry to break, one
of the best ones was we're basketball. I'm on the
basketball team. And my junior year, they picked out, like
were five seniors and they were supposed to be in
a pie eating contest. So what they did was they
blindfolded him, told him to put their hands behind her back,
and then they said go Well, they basically only left
one guy to eat the pie. So everybody else is watching, right,

(16:14):
So it was Rick Hammers. He's going down on he's
eating this pie and his face is covered. I mean,
he's going at it right, it's the blueberry or something.
I don't know. He's got pie all everywhere. It's horrible.
So and then all of a sudden he stops and
he takes off the blindfold. He looks around and you
can tell he's finnally No, that's he's mad, but in

(16:39):
a fun way, you know. And so we're all like, Rick,
why the hell did you stop eating? Wat? What made
you stop? All of a sudden? Because the guy next
to him, who was supposed to be in the contest
eating the pie, Bobby Coop check He said, I heard
Coop go, come on, Rick, let's go come on, Rick,
and he goes, I'm thinking, if he's supposed to be
eating the pie, why is he cheering me on?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh oh he screwed that up.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, well you have done. You had
to understood Coop. I mean he keeps the Coop was
one of a kind.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Josha on Facebook, he commented and said, his buddy, of course,
pulled off the classic saran wrap on the toilet seat.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, that's always uh, that'sn't always always do that.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
If you do that to a teacher. That's awesome. That's
a hall of fame.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh have you ever seen the ones where people do
it on doorways on social media? All those are hilarious.
Seven fifty eight. We're laughing. We're having some fun today.
Great pranks. We want to hear yours one eight hundred
and sixty for eleven seventy. The bloom Daddy Experience on
this Friday. News Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Indeed number one talk 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 SEVENTYVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
News Radio eleven seventy. It's the Blue Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eighth six, let's get this hour rolling.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Okay, you know what, since it's a Friday, I thought,
you know what, let's just let's just have a little
fun today, something lighthearted. So I'm gonna pose a question
to Otis and Sam. But before I do that, I'm
gonna build up to it. I love watching Netflix. As
a matter of fact, I'm a huge fan of documentaries.
So recently I watched every episode of the Charlie Sheen documentary.

(18:35):
It was actually very good stuff. Charlie Sober is a
very honest individual, probably way too honest, but he talks
about everything, doesn't shy away from his drug use, doesn't
shy away from his parents walking around naked while he
was a kid because they were practicing nudists at the time.

(18:56):
I mean, he talks about everything.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Including his.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
How shall I say this, interactions with men at a
certain point in his life. Now, it's well documented that
Charlie likes the ladies, and one of the greatest quotes
of all time is when Charlie Sheen was asked about
why he pays prostitutes for sex, and he said, I
don't pay.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Him for sex.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
I paid them to leave after we're done, which I think,
quite honestly, could be the greatest quote in.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
The history of mankind.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
But that aside. During this documentary they bring up the
guy doing the documentary. He asks Charlie directly, Okay, is
this the time we start talking about your interaction with men?
And Charlie goes sure, why not? And Charlie Sheen goes
on to say that he did indeed have sex with

(19:51):
men back in his Tiger Blood days. Charlie kind of
put it this way, and he's not ashamed of it either.
He kind of said, you know what, I would so
blown out of my mind on drugs and every alcohol
and everything else, that it just sort of happened and
it seemed like the thing to do, and yeah, it
was fun, and you know, it was a part of
it and I'm not going to hide from it.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
And that's that.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
And I'm sitting there watching this thinking, first of all,
I don't care what kind of drugs I'm on. That
ain't happening. Sword fighting is not happening with bloom Daddy
under no circumstances. So for him to sit there and
be like, yeah, you know, I was all high and
stuff and thought why not? In no way, not in

(20:37):
my world, but whatever. And I'm watching this and I'm thinking,
oh my god, I forgot how much of a train
wreck this guy was back in the day, the whole
winning in Tiger Blood and you know, I'm tricheene.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, I'm on a drug.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It's called trichine. I forgot how crazy and out of
his mind he was back at that time. And I'm
started thinking, what is the craziest thing that I have
watched before. I watched this documentary on Charlie Sheen, and honestly,
I probably have to go back to not Tiger Blood,

(21:13):
but The Tiger King. Remember when The Tiger King hit,
that was during COVID. Everybody was watching, everybody was talking
about it. It was so outrageous, so crazy that it
was must watch television. So now I come to my
question for Otis and Sam here on a Friday, what

(21:33):
is the last thing you watched, not counting The Tiger
King that had you sitting there going, you've got to
be kidding me and Sam, I'll let you go first.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Mine dates back a while, but it was making a
murderer on Netflix. We couldn't turn it off, could not
turn it off. We watched it till like three thirty
four o'clock in the movie. And you know, something's good
or shockingly bizarre, kind of like Tiger King, where you

(22:05):
just say to yourself, one more episode and you're like
a zombie. One more episode and it feels like you
have toothpicks in your eyeballs, but you've got to know
what's gonna happen. Mine would Mine would would be that
I did watch the Charlie Sheen documentary, and I did
not realize growing up. First of all, of course, I

(22:26):
know Martin Sheen's his dad, Emilia Savez is his brother.
I knew all that, But the neighborhood that he grew
up in, and the people that he grew up with,
including Sean Penn, the amount of actors in the eighties
that he grew up with in that just that little
I think it was the Malibu area and how they

(22:48):
became who they are in the acting world. I didn't
realize that, like his next door nambor was Sean Penn
and all of that. So, and he's a lot smarter
than I think we all give him had it for.
But it's it's a it's a good documentary. He holds
nothing back. Bloe Daddy's right, he holds nothing back at all.

(23:09):
His ex wife, Denise Richards, I don't know what she's
done to her her mouth. That was shocking in that
she's had too much of the lip injections and the
whole thing. She was gorgeous back in the day, gorgeous.
Have you watched it yet? Otis?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I don't have Netflix.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh that's right, Oh you've got to get Netflix.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
I have enough. If I get another streaming service, I'm
gonna be where I was with my satellite that I
got rid of. I mean, I'm not safe. I'm going
to pay two hundred dollars a month for entertainment.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I know that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I pay for a couple of them. I don't even want,
Like Amazon Prime. I couldn't even tell you the last
time I watched something on Amazon.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Oh no, no, oh, I watch a bus.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I try to get I try to go on there
and find something, and I go no, no, no, and
then I go to something and then I go back
to the standard you know, Cheers, Hogan's Heroes, something, you know,
I fought Rockford Files, you know, depending on what my
mood is for the evening. But I did start watching.
I started watching something last night on Marvel. It started

(24:10):
last week. In the first episode, I was like, Eh,
Then the second episode kind of got me a little more. Yeah,
So then I started, Like the third episode came on
at about ten fifteen last night, and I fell asleep
and I'm like, I'm not leaving this go because I
want to see it so well.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
And you just told us earlier this week you watched
the documentary on the Pirates.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Comment, Yeah, which was, but I mean that didn't.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
That's a little bit more educational than Charlie Sheen.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
No, well it's not. I wouldn't say educational, but it was.
It's obviously a little different. Well know it's it's it
was a two and a half hour show basically, and
but there were things in that documentary that surprised me,
you know, like just the how much of a regular

(24:58):
guy Roberto was like, and I don't think I said.
I know, I told you, but I don't think I
said this on the air. But he's driving from I
believe the guy said he lived right by three River Stadium.
So he said the guy here comes Roberto and his
green El Dorado. So he knew it was a Roberto
and the kid was he was just outside throwing the
ball against the wall, you know, doing this. So he

(25:20):
flags Roberto down just to wave high or whatever. Roberto
gets out of the car with his glove and starts
playing catch with the kid. Wow, and then the dad
sees it in the doorway, the mom said. He goes
to the mom and says, hey, Vera, you gotta come
see this, and she goes out and grabs Roberto and
he comes in and eats dinner with him. You know,

(25:42):
she said. He goes, no, I don't want to impose.
I don't want to impose, but she goes, no, no,
we want you to. And it just like stories like
that you just don't like, you wouldn't see a baseball
player do that today. And I don't care who I mean,
but that's why Pittsburgh, I mean, that's it's stories like
that that it not only his play on the field,

(26:02):
but the story that just a huge human story. The
stories endeared him to the people of Pittsburgh, you know.
And like I said, and I think I did mention that.
You know when they said when they talked about you
don't hear the question, but you know what it is.
How did you react when you heard Roberto died and
the guy that the it was the kid throwing the

(26:23):
ball against the wall. They were all speechless, They couldn't
say anything. They all teared up. I mean, it's if
you get a chance you have, I mean, you don't
have to be a baseball fan, but you know, just
to maybe understand a little bit more. And I'll be honestly,
I mean, like in reality, baseball should retire his number

(26:44):
like they did Jackie Robinson Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. Okay, but itself. Yeah, Like,
so they have Roberto Camente Day where the players were
twenty one, like they do on Jackie Robinson Day, they
wear forty two. Well, just retire the numb yeah, because
you got you got an award name for him. You
know that you have the Roberto Clemente Award, which is

(27:05):
given there's somebody from each team wins it every year,
so you're the team representative. Okay, but then there's an
out of those thirty players, one gets picked.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Like the Walter Payton Award in the NFL. Pretty much
well in this tides both of these subjects together. Netflix
is reportedly in talks to be home of the MLB's
opening Day game next year. That's according to The Athletic,
which cited sources briefed on the deal. The agreement would
be for three years, and we'll start with the March

(27:37):
twenty fifth game featuring the Giants San Francisco Giants versus
the New York Yankees. So Netflix now possibly speculative getting
in on Major League Baseball. Times are you might have
to get Netflix now? It's eight sixteen. You're listening to
The bloom Daddy Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven

(27:58):
seventy ww Welcome back eight twenty one The Blendetti Experienced
Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Just a
reminder coming up here very shortly, very very very shortly,

(28:20):
we're gonna have your chance to win this morning, Elvis Costello.
We have one pair left, so we have one lucky
winner out there left, so stay tuned for that. That
is going to be coming up here very very shortly.
He's gonna be here at the Capitol Theater on October seventh.
So we're talking pranks, We're talking funny stories, you know,

(28:42):
getting one over on somebody, havn't it, you know, you
being the butt of the joke. You know it's out there.
It kind of I stumbled across this story and this
is kind of along the same vein. So you know
the name Greta thunberg otis zem you know, yeah, okay,
so you know you know how she's on a mission
for Gaza and the whole thing. She's got her whole boat.

(29:07):
I don't know what you call a parade of what
she's doing. Well, anyways, they don't know who has done
it yet, but they have launched almost a audible attack
on the boat, the boats that she is manning, and

(29:27):
they are playing NonStop Abba music twenty four to seven
on a loop. So it's almost like this psychological warfare.
I guess it's not necessarily a prank. I find it
kind of funny. But my question otis for you is
what band or what song could you on a loop

(29:53):
would drive you absolutely bizarre crazy?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, I guess it really would really depend like if
you really just want to are you trying to tick
me off? Or are you just trying to get under
my skin?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's kind of the same thing.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
No, No, I mean like, do you want me to
be like where I'm gonna like you're gonna drive me
to kill somebody? Or do you really want I want
to drive you anything? By if you put anything by
Rush on a loop, I would I would kill somebody.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
But by who said pink Floyd.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Now, if you just want to take a song that's
gonna drive me insane and I'm not gonna it's just
gonna put me in a rubber room.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Would be like white jacket.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
White room would be like a celebration by cooling the
gang on a loop. I'm sorry, Rob, Rob, but play
that funky music of just when you DJ weddings and
that's all they ask for, you know, all the time,
bob seekers, old time rock and roll. Those are just
the songs that you just they get totally overplayed, and

(31:07):
when you DJ an event, that's what they you know,
the electric slides.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
The electric side, the chicken dance.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
The chicken dance not so much because it's kind of
like a little polka and it's not that long. But
I mean, if I had to listen to it on
a loop, yeah, I mean any song, just to any
even if there were songs that I liked, if you
put them on a loop, after a while, you just
get sick of it. But I mean, like before that,
by the time the third note plays by Russier Pink Floyd,

(31:34):
I'm done.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I just saw that and I thought, oh man, what
would what would get under otis what would get to
his uh would drive him absolutely there's somebody getting oh
yeah for me, And I know people out there are
gonna gonna disagree with me, but for me, anything by
Maroon five, I'm sorry. I know people absolutely love what

(32:00):
they do. I just I can't. There's just something about
the tone. I'm not sure what it is, but it
would it would drive me bonkers. Put me in a
white straight jacket in a white padded room. Them or
red hot chili peppers. I can't stand either of them.
I don't know. It's the whiny tone. It's it's something.

(32:21):
I'm not sure what it is, but it Uh, I can't.
I can't tolerate it. So yeah, I just wanted to
hit Otis with that because I thought it would be funny. Now,
we've been talking about pranks this morning, pranks that you've
pulled off, some that have been pulled on you. I
told the story about my phone number here at work

(32:43):
eight six seven five three oh nine. Somebody called in
saying they wanted to, you know, talk to me about advertising.
I was young. I was like, yeah, yeah, somebody's calling me. Yeah,
the number was eight six seven five three oh nine.
So I'm sure everybody else out there got the joke
before I did, because it took about three or four days.

(33:03):
But if you pulled off a great prank while in school,
college doesn't matter. We want to hear from you. One
eight hundred sixty to four eleven seventy one eight hundred
sixty two four eleven seventy. It's not eight six seven
five three oh nine like I fell for got this
one on Facebook. It was kind of a long winded

(33:24):
I'll kind of just shorten it down. Basically, this person's
dad must have been in law enforcement somehow, and they
got him to bring one of the I'm sure you've
seen him, the hubcap locks that say you have way
too many tickets and you haven't paid them, and they'll
put that lock on the outside of your tire so

(33:46):
that you can't move your car. They talked their dad
into coming to their school's parking lot and putting that
on their principal's car so that the principal couldn't move
the car for days on end because they couldn't figure
out how to get the thing off, who put it there,
any of that kind of stuff. So that's that's that's
that's pretty good. That's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. So

(34:09):
if you have a good story, we want to hear
from you. One eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy
congrats want to throw this out there. It's it's a
Pumpkin Festival weekend. It's Pumpkin Festival weekend. This year's King
Pumpkin one thousand, nine hundred and fifty two pounds. One thousand,
nine hundred and fifty two pounds. Congratulations to Bill Neptune,

(34:34):

hundred sixty two four eleven seventy one eight hundred sixty
two four eleven seventy. Elvis Costello to pair tickets, Elvis
Costello oneteen hundred sixty two, four eleven seventy. Let's do
caller number fourteen, caller number fourteen one eight hundred sixty two,
four eleven seventy. It's dight twenty eight. You're listening to

(34:55):
the bloom Daddy Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. Welcome back eight thirty six to lend Daddy
Experienced Sam and Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. We

(35:16):
heard from a silent voice we haven't heard from in
a while.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Otis kings Thinks sent us a text on the song
that would be playing on loop that would drive him crazy,
And it was Tiny Tim's tiptoe through the tulips. And
you've never really seen the seen tiny tim or probably
heard tiptoe through the tulip.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I've heard it. I've heard clips of it. The video
the vessel that that tone came out of when it
came up on the screen is not even I thought
it was a woman that's saying that. I envisioned like
a little grandma. Not this. Oh, I can't even describe

(35:55):
what he looks like that. I'm actually a little disturbed,
thrown off. Oh my god, I just I've never Rocky
Horror Picture Show.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
He was a staple on The Tonight Show in the
late sixties early seventies. Actually, I think he actually got
married on the Tonight Show.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
I just yeah, I'm completely I'm sorry. Not what I
expected to come on the screen of my computer. Not
even not even close, not even close. Let's hit on
a couple things sports happening this weekend. So Week five
of the college football season is underway. East Carolina beat

(36:41):
Army twenty eight to six in the one game that
went on last night on Friday. Happening tonight, Virginia will
host the eighth ranked Florida State, while Arizona State will
host the twenty five ranked TCU Marquee matchups set for
Saturday include Georgia, who's ranked number three, taking on Alabama,

(37:03):
who's at the sixteenth ranking, number twenty two USC playing
at number twenty three Illinois and number eleven Old Miss
battling fourth ranked LSU. The big game of the weekend,
I think the must watch number two Penn State, which
I believe it's a whiteout game. I believe is it

(37:25):
Okay hosting the fifth rank Oregon in a rematch of
last season's Big Ten championship game. For Buckeye fans out there,
Ohio State travels to Washington to take on the Huskies,
while Utah comes to Morgantown to take on the Mountaineers. Mountaineers,
are you going to that game?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I am. WVU may get be by sixty. Think, oh yeah.
First off, their defense will do a halfway decent job,
but their offense is pathetic. They just don't have a
line to protect the buddy, or to block for running
ors or just it's I mean, you hate to say it,
but you know that's that's, you know, part of the

(38:07):
rebuilding process, and you know it's you're not going to
get the players that you need unless you have the
money to pay it.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
That's what I was gonna say. It also goes back
to the money, which.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Is which is insane in college football.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Well, and then also if you do stumble upon a
player who in their breakout season, they put up big numbers,
they catch the eye of bigger teams, then they're going
to be picked off. Yep, I mean that's what's that's
what's gonna happen. Unfortunately, you and I agree on that
one hundred percent that I hate the direction they're taking.

(38:43):
They're taking college sports, especially football when it comes to
the pros. The it's Week four. Let's see here the Steelers.
How would you say the Steelers with an Irish accent?
They are squaring off against the Vikings in Dublin. This
will happen Sunday morning. They're coming The Steelers are coming

(39:04):
off a close win over the Patriots and are at
two and one. Kickoff is scheduled for nine thirty in
the morning, which that's tough. I mean, I won't be
watching it.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Well, you know what's weird?

Speaker 1 (39:21):
How would you say Steelers?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Minnesota plays in Dublin this week and then they play
the Browns in London next week.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
They'll probably just stay there.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Well, no, Kitty captain obvious like that might be the
dumbest statement of the day.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Well is it really?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yes? Yes, like they're not going to fly back to
practice in Minnesota and then fly back to London.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
You never know?

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, you do, yes, you do.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Well, as you said, the Browns who are sitting at
one and two, they will take on the Lions at
in Detroit Sunday afternoon. And the Bengals, who sit at
two and one will be taking on Denver in Denver
on during Monday Night football. So Monday Night Football is where?

Speaker 6 (40:12):
Now?

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Is that still ABC? ESPN? I can't keep it straight anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
They haven't been on ABC for years.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
I know I'm dating.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
If you were a Vikings fan, you could make like
a ten day trip to which I am not Europe
like bloom.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Daddy is always hied all together.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
And our friend, our friends from Vance Penning your graphics
carry Vance is a.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Vikings fan, so holiday.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
They could they could have gone over. Say they fly
out today, get there, go to the Steeler game on
in Dublin. Steelers Viking game on in Dublin Sunday. Take
a little tour of Ireland. You can cross the channel,
or you can cross the Irish Channel. That's what it is,
you know, either by ferry or playing or however you

(40:56):
want to do it. And then go over to London
and you spend a few days in London, tour in
the English countryside, and then go to the game and
then fly back on Monday. That's a that's a nice
ten day little trip, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Would be it. Maybe a little pricey.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Could be, but I mean there's I'm sure there's people
that can pull it off. You don't believe how many
people that I know that are in Dublin right now
for the still game. Yeah, huh, I probably know. I
know of at least five or six people that are
over there with their families.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Do you think I mean, there's such a huge campaign
and it grows every year to bring the NFL into Europe,
into Latin America. They're trying to capture that soccer base basically,
or their version they call football. Do you think it's
ever going to really take hold?

Speaker 2 (41:47):
I they tried, they tried what was it at the
NFL Europe or whatever that with the World League at
one point in time, and they had teams in like Frankfurt, Amsterdam.
They had to ryan fire. There was the London Monarchs
they had, you know, they were they were European team
all over. Luck for the former w quarterback and athletic
director was the commissioner of that league for a while.

(42:13):
Do I think it would work. You'd have to make
it to where you'd almost have to put a couple
of teams in Europe because you don't want to make
that team that plays in London or in Frankfurt or
in Dublin have to come to the US like six times,

(42:35):
you know, not that it's it's not a brutal flight.
I mean it's it's seven or eight hours depending where
you're headed. But like from London to Pittsburgh it's like
seven and a half hours. But that takes a toll
on teams. And what you would have to do is
you you would have to play like two or three
home games and then come over here and play two
or three away games. You see it. You'd have to

(42:56):
make it worth your while.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Well. And I think the other side of it is
the natural rivalries that have developed in the NFL aren't
there with new leagues, you know.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
What I mean. I think if you're going to expand internationally,
you have to look at you have to look at
the people that are gonna be able to afford to
go to the games. So like to put a team
in Mexico City or or a team in Brazil. I mean,
are you going to have the fan base that's going
to be able to afford to go? And you want
to have cities that teams from visiting fan bases that

(43:32):
may want to treat this as a vacation they want
to go there. It has to be a city that's
relatively safe and in it. You know, like if I
wouldn't feel comfortable going to Mexico City, no, okay, And
I don't know if i'd feel that's safe going to
like South Paulo, Brazil or someplace. You know, not to

(43:53):
say that they aren't safe cities, but I mean you
just see a lot of you hear a lot of
bad stories there. London, Dublin, Frankfurt. I mean, I've been
to Frankfort, walked around Frankfort by myself for a whole day,
and I didn't feel anything, you know, I didn't feel
any threats.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah, so to speak, what is Carnival? My brother went
to Brazil for Carnival probably about five or six years ago.
He said, he never felt more unsafe, and he's traveled
all over and he said he did not feel safe
at all.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
I think, you know, you'd have to put I think
like let's let's maybe look at like Montreal or Toronto
or something like that for your international city first, and
then it would be like having a team in Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah, it doesn't just it doesn't make a whole lot
of sense.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Well, they keep trying. I mean they do, keep trying.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
You're going to get the fan base. I mean, I
know my buddy that lives in Amsterdam is a huge
Steeler fan. He watches the Steelers all the time.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Well, and now with technology and streaming and everything. Yeah,
nine thirty what's on the football food agenda for a ninth?

Speaker 2 (44:57):

the number one selling Honda dealer in the state of
West Virginia as well. Strab Automotive Group selling more Hontas
than anyone else all right, out selling some of the
bigger Pittsburgh dealers as well, which is quite an accomplishment
because there's some really outstanding Honda dealers in this market,
really outstanding Honded dealers in the state. And the reason why,

(47:36):
you know, they bring such a great product, you know,
to the public. You got an HRV LX all wheel
