The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam September 30, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
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 seventy. WWVA starts now the.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news radio
eleven seventy. Right now, I want to talk politics, and
that means Jim er Nacy, former Congressman Blue Daddy Show
publically analyst on the show, James Comey. The indictment, You've
got Democrats saying that it's the weaponization of the Justice Department,
and you've got Republicans saying, well, didn't you do that

(00:42):
against Trump during the Biden years? What are your thoughts
on this?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, look, and both sides can say that that's what's
interesting about that the Democrats did it and now the
Republicans are doing it. I'm not sure it's right. I
think in the end, I think there's more and more
American people and vote especially, and that's what we've got
to be concerned about. In twenty twenty six, are saying
let's move forward. I mean, look, President Trump got the

(01:08):
greatest I mean he won the election. Through all of that,
he won the election, so he's able to say I won,
you lost, Let's move forward. But on the downside, he
still seems to want to go back and take some
revenge on some of these people. This one's a little
bit interesting because there was a US attorney for the
Eastern District of Virginia who said, no, we don't have

(01:32):
the charges. We really don't have enough information or a
case here to bring the charges forward. So he was
let go, and another person, Lindsay Halligan, was appointed just
last week, I guess, and she brought the charges forward.
So that shows a little bit of hey, we got
to get this done, especially since Comy's the five years

(01:56):
ends tomorrow, so if they didn't indict him by tomorrow,
they would not have been able to indict him. That
talks it a little bit of hey, we got to
get this done. And I think that's going to be
a problem for President Trump going down this path, because
first he's got somebody who's never ever tried a case

(02:17):
like this, and she's now in charge, so little disappointed.
I think the American people really do want to get
back to you know, prices and groceries and let's keep
the economy growing and all those things. This stuff appears
to be I'm going to get you back for what
I did, and quite frankly, boom daddy, I've told you this.
The next president, whoever he or she is, if it's

(02:39):
a Democrat, they're going to do the same thing. We've
got to get past this cycle at some point.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Jim. It's funny how politicians try to rewrite history and
almost think that we're going to forget what they said,
or somebody can't pull up a clip with Russian collusion
with Komi. Now you've got Democrats saying, well, there was Russia.
You know, Russia did try to influence the election by
putting out misinformation or this or that. But if you
go back to Russian collusion, the narrative then was under

(03:09):
Komy and the Democrats that Trump and Putin were in
cahoots with each other to get, you know, the office
for Trump, and that simply has never been proven. That
is false. And Adam Schiff, who said he had all
this evidence, has never produced a single thing. But now
they're trying to say, well, we never really said that.

(03:31):
We just said that the Russians were trying to somehow
get involved in misinformation when it comes to the election.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well, here's what's bad about Komy. Republicans don't like him,
and Democrats didn't like him because if you remember, he
also brought up the Hillary Clinton, right, and that disappeared
right before the election. Yeah, so he brings that up
ten days. That's never supposed to happen. You're never supposed
to bring up anything about those people that are in
a election cycle, especially the last ninety days. He does that,

(04:01):
he actually helps President Trump. Democrats don't like him, Republicans
don't like him. He's in the middle of this thing.
And again, there's probably many others that have stronger evidence
than this. This indictment looks just a little bit too
weak and could be embarrassing for President Trump if it
gets thrown out very quickly. So we'll see what happens.

(04:22):
But this tit for tat. I don't think it's going
to work because we're going to continue to do it,
and the American people are eventually going to say enough's enough.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hi, Jim go, guardians.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Same here go, Guardians do care, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Jim or Acy. Former Congressman Bloo Daddy showed political analyst.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Okay, otis so listening to that. I will agree that
the American people are tired of the bickering, the tit
for tat, the back and forth, the you do this,
We're going to do that, because nothing is getting accomplished

(05:02):
for the American citizens.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It yes, it's not. I mean when you look at it,
you know, the bickering, the back and forth, it doesn't
matter what level it's on, it doesn't accomplish anything.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
No, And in the long run, it's you and me
and everybody else. The day to day Americans who keep
going to work and paying their taxes and you know,
being good citizens were the ones left out in the cold.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
We're the ones.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Forgotten about because these power players, if you will, sitting
in DC, they don't care. What they care about is
their side winning. And that's just a politician. That's where
we've gotten to when it comes to politics. What I
do disagree with is the mantra of let's just move forward,

(05:51):
let's just move on. I understand the sentiment behind it,
but I think voters also want to count when it
comes to what we've been presented or fed for the
past ten to fifteen years. I mean, look what just
came out last week, and we're going to talk about

(06:11):
this tomorrow in during Politics Unleashed about January sixth, what
came out last week with the you know, playing closed
FBI agents.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
That were there.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
You don't see people talking about that very in many places.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
I heard that this time.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
On many platforms. You don't see a lot of that
being discussed. So I understand the sentiment of let's just
move on. But Americans are to the point where they
want accountability, they want answers, and they want transparency, and
they're tired of it.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, I mean, and I don't think everybody wants everything really.
I mean, like me personally, I don't really care about
the Epstein list. So I mean, it doesn't whether you
released it or not. It's not going to change my
life life, Okay, if you're gonna if you're gonna release
something that's going to change my life, then I'm going

(07:06):
to pay attention. I don't I don't care about the
other stuff. And it's not that I don't care, but
the priority level is super low.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Well, I think the Epstein thing goes to the fascination
that Americans have.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
With the uber rich.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Maybe.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
I honestly, I think it does. I think there's this this.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Well you want to see, you want to see who
the bad people are. Yeah, I mean I get that
part of it. I mean, but in reality, if if
I find out that Bill and Hillary Clinton are on
that or on that list, am I going too? Am
I going to be shocked? No?

Speaker 6 (07:47):
And is it going to change anything?

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Because is anything actually going to happen? And that goes
back to my point about accountability.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
They just oh my.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
God, I'm so sorry people are again. It goes back
to the accountability, the fascination we have with the uber ridge,
the fascination that we have with the what goes on
behind closed doors, the underbelly. What's the real story, what

(08:20):
we as the American public don't see firsthand? Is this
what's actually happening? But this is what they're showing us
and telling us, you know, is it the old bait
and switch? And that's where the conspiracy theories come in
and all of that. So you know a lot of
things in there that we kind of hit on. But
we're gonna move forward because we're going to jump to

(08:42):
a quick break. But coming up, we're gonna have your
chance to win. This morning, we've got another pair of
tickets to Resurrection Island Tattoo Convention, happening October tenth through
the twelfth at Wheeling Island Hotel Casino Racetrack. It is
a great weekend over there.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
It's the fifth annual, So this is your chance to get.

twenty one, The Blue Dotty Experience, samon Otis News Radio

and Racetrack. All right, Otis, I'm sure this is going

(10:13):
to absolutely.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Just break your heart.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's been announced, or it's speculated, that Nicole Kidman and
Keith Urman are separating after nineteen years of marriage. Oh well, okay,
all right, I knew that would I knew that would
just absolutely break your heart.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm just heartbreaking about it.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
Oh does Nicole Kidman even look human anymore? Her face
does not move, It just does not.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I don't think I've seen Nicole Kidman in years.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
If you go back and you look at her, look
at her from days of thunder with a prior husband,
Tom Cruise to what she looks like today, it's.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Not even it's not even the same person.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Not even.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
No, I mean like like like she doesn't look the same.
Not that she's aged, she hasn't aged. My point is
she doesn't look human anymore.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
Anyways.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
The emotions that Otis portrays, I knew he would be heartbroken.
This will get you worked up, all right. High transportation
officials are urging drivers to stop making dangerous last minute
lane changes to reach highway exits after several recent crashes,

(11:44):
I know how you love driving. In Ohio, Matt Bruning,
O Dodd's press secretary, said there's no excuse for putting
people in harm's way just so you can avoid maybe
a two or three minute detour.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
This month, a watermelon.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Tru stopped sudden. Okay, a watermelon truck stopped suddenly on
a Cincinnati area highway when a car ahead crossed multiple
lanes to reach an exit, spilling fruit all.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
Over the roadway.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
In May, in Columbus, a Columbus driver stopped on the
shoulder then crossed three lanes, causing a crash. In April,
a red van stopped in the middle of I seventy
one to reach an exit, which triggered a chain reaction crash.
The driver fled but was later found in charge. Bruning again,

(12:36):
the press secretary for ODOT, said, we just need people
to pay attention and drive responsibly, and that's not a
hard ask.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Just goes the show. Drivers are the worst.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
I beg to differ.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
I beg to differ.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
There's a lot of people that would agree with you.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
West Virginia drivers cannot park.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
That has nothing to do with driving. And I've seen
you park. You're not that great of a parker either.
I watched you parallel park or attempt at parallel park like,
So don't think that you're like some magical parallel parker.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
I do it every morning.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
That doesn't mean you're good at it.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, but if I pull into a parking spot. When
I pull in, I don't take up a spot in
a half like West Virginia drivers at Walmart.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Well, how about when Ohio drivers park at a parking
meter and half their car is in front of the
meter and half their car is behind the meter. So
that's two spots they're taking up. The meter goes right
at the front of your car. And I can show
you pictures and it's every one of them's in a
high license plate.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
But why is it every time I'm getting on I
call it the wheeling Jesuit exit to come towards the tunnels,
that very short ramp onto the highway where you either
go on or you get off to go to Parker's.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, the OBI it's not a good ramp.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
No, it's a terrible design.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
But I always get stuck in a design flaw. Yeah,
I get stuck behind a West Virginia driver that's going
like twenty five miles an hour. It's like, get on
the highway and go.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
I there's there's there's bad drivers everywhere. Oh yeah, but
the majority of them.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
I've never seen anybody just stop in the middle of
the highway though.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I mean, well, there's it's this this story sounds like
a lot of them are. They're they're like in the
far left lane and cutting over three or four lanes
to get off the exit. That's just poor driving as well. Well,
you talk to me, and I understand sometimes like if
you if you're lost and you don't know where you're going,
But if you're in a big city or something like that,
you can probably go to the next exit and turn
around and just come back.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Oh if you're happen to be going across the four
seventy bridge currently and you're in the wrong lane and
you can't get off in bell Air, yeah, and you
have to go all the way up. I've done that
a couple of times at this point. That's kind of annoying.
But no, talking about design flaws. I was in Pennsylvania
about two weeks ago and they're designs of exit and

(15:14):
on ramps.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
All Chestnut Street is horrible.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Oh my god, it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Actually, anything in Washington, PA is not good.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
Oh it's awful. It's awful.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
On seventy they're they're all short on off and they
and they overlap, so the off ramp is the on
ramp and the on ramp is the off ramp and yep,
and then there's two lanes and you have people flying
through there. And I mean, it doesn't matter if it's
street or Jefferson Street or yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
And you have semi trust that won't.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Jessup Avenue or Jessup Avenue is not that it's not
a bad one because it's it's an actual on ramp
and the off ramps on the other side, so you're
good there. But but I think it's Jefferson Avenue.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
The worst is just people who are selfish drivers.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
They just won't.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
They have the opportunity to merge and get out of
your way so that you can get on, and they
won't do it, and or they're flying.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's just it's all somebody that makes signs for that, that.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Makes signs for that. Oh, instead of using a finger,
they use a sign.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, it just says left lane is for passing, and
it's printed backward so that they can read it in
their mirror.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Oh so this report doesn't know I.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Know somebody who makes this, this report, well, I knowing
very well, it's me.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
This report does not bode well for Ohio drivers. Those
are not great examples. So just basically, don't don't stop
in the middle of the highway, and don't mess with
watermelon trucks.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
That's just funny that it was a watermelon truck.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
There are jokes there, but yeah, not really, not really
worth it.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
We get your chance to win. Coming up Resurrection Island.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
You're gonna go. Have you gone to it?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
I've gone to Well we have we have a chili cookoff.
We have to judge on the eleven.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
That's right, Oh, that's right.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
So, oh, that's gonna be a busy weekend. It's a Saturday,
so it's going to be a busy weekend.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I think we have to be there on twelve thirty.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
How much chili do we have to taste? Do we know?

Speaker 7 (17:19):
All?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Right?

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Hopefully I mean hopefully it fills this up. That's pre lunch.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Good chili, Hofully you're listening to the Blue Daddy experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Now, there are so many things that are laughable, Like
I just saw the Pirates extended Don Kelly's contract. He
took over after Derek Shelton got fired. Who the hell
would want to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates? What manager of
the Pirates in the last fifteen years has gone on
from managing the Pirates to a more lucrative job. Because

(18:00):
I can't think of any and I may be overlooking somebody,
but I seriously cannot think of anybody. You go to
manage the Pittsburgh Pirates, you might as well take your career,
select a coffin, bury it six feet under and be done.
What in embarrassment, Bob Nutting, the Nutting family is to

(18:21):
Major League Baseball, spend Nutting, win Nutting. This franchise is
going nowhere. Paul Skeins, he said it, Come on, what
are we doing here? I mean, take a look at
this guy finishes with an ERA under two and is
on a team where he does not have a chance
of winning twenty games, He does not have a chance

(18:42):
of making the postseason. I mean, they're jumping up and
down that they won seventy one games this year, seventy
one to ninety one. That is awful. Yet Bob Nutting
doesn't care. He continues to make a profit. He doesn't
care if he puts a competitive team on the field.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are not worth watching other than when

(19:04):
Paul Schimes is on the mound. No star power in
the lineup, nothing, zero go two hours away. The Cleveland
Guardians small market team. The Pittsburgh Pirates small market team.
The Cleveland Guardians, since the wild Card was introduced in
nineteen ninety four, have made the postseason thirteen times. That's

(19:27):
third most in Major League Baseball. The Braves are first,
The Yankees and the Dodgers are tied at second, and
then the Cleveland Guardians. Yet the Pittsburgh Pirates, how many
times have they made the postseason since nineteen ninety four? Once? Twice?
I mean, I really don't know. I don't think it's three.
You got the Guardians good farm system, they got good

(19:50):
guys in upper management. They've got ownership that actually cares.
They don't spend the money they should. They get criticized
in Cleveland for that, but they've got a system in
place that produces winning team after winning team. The Pirates,
they could have the same, but they've got terrible ownership.
The Nuttings should be a shame. I can't believe Pittsburgh

(20:13):
hasn't run them out of town yet. I don't know
how you go to a Pirates game. If you're a
Pirates fan, you're talking about one of the cornerstones of
the National League. You're talking one of the Major League
Baseball franchises with a tremendous history that's been flushed down
the toilet by the Nutting family from Wheeling, by God,

(20:34):
West Virginia. It's a disgrace. I mean it really is.
But Bob Nutting figured out, the Nutting family figured out,
you know, a decade ago, whenever they took over fifteen
years ago, that as long as they put eleven thousand
people in the stands, shoot off some fireworks and give
away some blankets every couple of weeks and put thirty

(20:57):
thousand in there and keep their payrollthetic that they could
pocket twenty to thirty million dollars a year. So that's
what they do. They don't care about winning. They don't
care about you as a fan. They don't care. Remember
before COVID, I used to go to West Virginia, Northern
to the bookstore to the coffee shop there every other

(21:20):
day to get a coffee. I got to know a
couple of the people that work there. They told me
Bob Nutting would come in there, buy a cup of
coffee and tip them a dime or a quarter. This
is a billionaire tipping a dime or a quarter. That
gives you an idea of the mentality, and that mentality

(21:42):
is never going to change. And Major League Baseball sports
franchises in general need to figure out a way to
run the Bob Nuttings out of the sports world. They've
got it. Major League Baseball has got to implement a
salary floor, not a ceiling, a floor for the Bob
Nuttings of the world to force them to spend a

(22:05):
certain amount of money on talent. Because if you don't
force the Bob Nuttings of the world, this is what
you get. A franchise that's an embarrassment, a franchise that sucks,
a franchise that's never gonna win, and an owner who
does not care because he's patting his pockets, he's using

(22:27):
the fans, and he's just an utter disgrace. I don't
know how the guy shows his face. I really don't.
In Pittsburgh and in Wheeling, your name is on that franchise,
and your franchise is a loser, a perennial loser, a
laughing stock. Do you know what kind of a human
being you've got to be to walk around and not

(22:50):
care that your name is associated with being a loser,
a laughing stock. You're talking about a guy who can't
read the room. You're talking about a guy who's incredibly arrogant,
and I guess you're talking about a guy who's got
so much money he doesn't care if he's an embarrassment.
But that's Bob Nutting. I mean, I remember when his

(23:12):
dad used to walk the streets of downtown Wheeling. This
guy was a billionaire, and he looked like a bum,
a homeless guy. But yet everybody in Wheeling just kiss
the ass of the Nuttings. It's it's unbelievable. Otis, I'm
sure you've got a nutting story.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I really don't have a nutting story, other than you
know they they live right up there by the Wheeling
Country Club, and there's a there's a couple of the
holes on the golf course where if your ball goes astray,
it goes into their yard and and you're you're probably

(23:50):
not getting it back, and they probably clean them and
resell them. To be honest with you, I mean, it
wouldn't surprise me at all.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's how the rich get rich.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
You know, bloom Daddy's throwing Don Kelly under the bus
for signing the contract. First off. I mean, you know,
he's not wrong. Managers go to Pittsburgh to dire They
hire people that don't even want to come. Don Kelly
was promoted after Derek Shelton got fired. When Don Kelly

(24:21):
got hired, the Pirates were twenty four games under five hundred.
He coached them to a fifty two and fifty two record,
So I mean he was at least at five hundred.
That's that's not saying that that's great, but considering they
really didn't have anybody that hit like over two seventy
or two eighty, which is terrible in my opinion. You

(24:47):
look at the Reds. The Reds made The Reds made
the playoffs with nobody batting higher than two seventy. No
pitcher had more than fifteen wins. You know, there's nobody
had I think the the team leader had twenty five
that they had twenty five home runs tops, I mean,
their numbers are similar to the Pirates, but yet they

(25:08):
made the playoffs. How did they do it? You know,
you know, you have you have the one of the
best pictures, if not the best picture in baseball in
Paul Skiings and you can't you know, he gives up
a run or two runs a game. Okay, that's not
unheard of in today's day and age. That's great, But
yet you can't score three runs for him.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Yeah, you don't have the complimentary offense.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
You don't have, you can't get you can't get guys
to cross the plate for him. The Pirates, they are
in embarrassment.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well do you, I mean, do you think that job
is appealing to anybody? Because you know you're not going
to get supportive of administration and ownership.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
If Derek Kelly can turn them around and make him
somewhat of a contender with what they have, then he's
you know, in my mind, he's he's gonna move somewhere.
He'll he'll go somewhere because if you give him some
talent he could possibly win.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Well that, but also fans need to be held accountable
to because they.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Quit spending the money.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, quit lining their pockets if he if ownership is
not going to give you a good product, quit putting
money in their pockets for a subpar failure product.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
I wouldn't go if the tickets weren't free, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't pay to go see them.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah. The the the statement by Bob Nutting again is just
another end of season lip service pandering.

Speaker 4 (26:31):

otis this is why you're such in a mood.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Today.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
It's National Love People Day. I didn't even know that
was a thing. The whole goal of the day is
to uplift others through the power of love. It's also
National AI in work Day. It's something we talk about

(29:01):
on a more and more frequent basis these days.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Of course.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
A recent survey sponsored by LinkedIn found more than forty
percent of all professionals said they feel overwhelmed by how
quickly they've been expected to adapt to AI. We have
it here. I have began using it and begun using
it in a couple things. It is amazing and scary

(29:29):
all at the same time. And we talked about AI yesterday.
I believe it was in regards to social media, to
the point where there's certain times you can't even tell
what is real, what is not real, whether a video
is real, the person speaking is real.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Disturbing't I didn't print it off because I didn't think
it was going to be relevant, But there's actually an actress.
That's an AI generated actress, and they're working on getting
this person than a contract. I mean, how do you
give an AI contract? Yeah, unless you're giving it to
the creator.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
Or the company that has to.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
I just you know, I just find it a little disturbing.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Well, yeah, that's incredibly disturbing. Hollywood better watch out, I guess.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Noel keep saying Hollywood. But Gavin Newsen basically run the
film industry out of California.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
Well that's yeah, you're right, that's true.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
Yeah, they're now in Texas and Georgia, everywhere, in Canada,
everywhere else. I guess she wouldn't be doing a sex scene,
an intimate scene. That'd be a little tricky.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Maybe with another AI.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Oh, well, what's her name? Do you remember the name?
Maybe we should name her?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
No, I mean it already. I mean the AI character
has a name, the person or whatever. I don't know
even what you call it.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
Did you see a picture of it?

Speaker 4 (30:55):
No, oh, I just saw the story. There was there
was it was just the actually was in both.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Tilly services or it is Tilly Norwood AI generated actress
and this is she's not real. I would never in
a million years, guess that that is not a real person.
Never Wow, Tilly Norwood. They're saying that she could be

(31:21):
the next Scarlet Johanson or Natalie Portman because she looks
like the girl.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
She looks like the girl next door. That's that's that's creepy.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
That's creepy and scary all at the same time, all
at the same time. But here's some real talented people,
here's a real actor.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Wonder how Barry.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Williams would have done with Tilly the AI actress. He
of course turns seventy one years old today. But we
all know who Barry Williams really is, right I do?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah, Greg Brady.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Greg Brady had a fascination with his on screen mother, right,
so Anne marsha An Marcia.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
I always heard about the mom.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
He just I think they just want to dinner. I know.
I don't think it was anything. I think he wanted
it to be something, you.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
Know, but it didn't go there.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
No, that would be that would be weird. Along with him.
This is the name I didn't know, but otis you
knew this name? Robbie Taccic yep is that how I
say it?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
He's the basis for the Goo Goo Dolls.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
Sixty one years old.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah, he's the guy that my friend Jim described the best,
and he actually found the story that found out this
was true. So Johnny Resnik, who's like the brains and
the talent behind.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
The front man. Yeah, he's not pretty anymore by the way.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
So you know he he's got all the hits, he's
got iris, he's got name. You know, those are all
the songs that he wrote. So if you buy a
Goo Goo Dolls album, Robbie has like two to three
songs on each album and they're absolutely horrible. They all
sound the same, I mean they all out exactly.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
Like and they're written badly too.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
Oh yeah, they're there. I mean there's like he has
like one good one okay that's like and it's off
an early album and after that they're just they're just trash.
So Buddy Jim said, you know what happened was he
was the guy that when they get their band together,
his dad and family had money. So the only reason

(33:25):
they kept him around was because they were the ones
that pooted the bill for everything. And if you read
if you, if you if you follow or read anything
up on the Goo Goo Dolls, that's basically what happened.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
He was the money pot.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Yeah, parents were the money pot. Whatever, you know. So,
I mean it's just but if he if like if
you just go into the into the it's horrible. I mean,
like his songs are just absolutely like you sit there,
just fast forward, fast forward, fast forward, skip.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Skip that one, skip that one. All right, I'm gonna
do an impersonation. See if you can guess whose birthday
this is, Master Chaffie out.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
No Fran Dresher than Nanny. Remember from the early nineties.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
I never watched it.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Oh, okay, fine, because I couldn't stand her. She's actress
Fran Dresser turns j Elfin sixty eight years.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Old from Dahmer and Gray.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
I hated that show. I couldn't stand that show. I
thought she was terrible.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
Did not find it entertaining. Fifty four years old.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Bloom Daddy's Crash Lacey sha Bear Bear.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Sbart, Yes, forty mean, girls turn on a hall turn
on a Hallmark.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
You're gonna see Lacey Shabert. Yeah, talk about the girl
next door? There you go.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, seven fifty eight you're listening to the bloom Daddy experience.
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Indeed number one talk show in the Ohio Alley. This
this no bloom Daddy experience. Your host bloom Daddy, his
goal inform, entertained and tick people. The bloom Daddy Experience
on news Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
WWVA starts now news Radio eleven seventy gets the bloom
Daddy Experience. Hey, it's eighth six. Let's get this hour
rolling right now. I want to talk politics, and that
means Jim or Nacy, former Congressman Blue Daddy Show, politically
unlist on the show, James Comey. The indictment. You've got
Democrats saying that it's the weaponization of the Justice Department,

(35:27):
and you've got Republicans saying, well, didn't you do that
against Trump during the Biden years? What are your thoughts
on this?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Well, look, and both sides can say that that's what's
interesting about that the Democrats did it and now the
Republicans are doing it. I'm not sure it's right. I
think in the end, I think there's more and more
American people and voters especially, and that's what we've got
to be concerned about. In twenty twenty six are saying,
let's move forward. I mean, look, President Trump got the

(35:57):
greatest I mean, he won the election. All of that.
He won the election, so he's able to say I won,
you lost, let's move forward. But on the downside, he
still seems to want to go back and take some
revenge on some of these people. This one's a little
bit interesting because there was a US attorney for the
Eastern District of Virginia who said, no, we don't have

(36:21):
the charges. We really don't have enough information or a
case here to bring the charges forward. So he was
let go, and another person, Lindsay Halligan, was appointed just
last week, I guess, and she brought the charges forward.
So that shows a little bit of hey, we got
to get this done. Especially since Comy's the five years

(36:45):
ends tomorrow, so if they didn't indict him by tomorrow,
they would not have been able to indict him. That
talks up a little bit of hey, we got to
get this done. And I think that's going to be
a problem for President Trump going down on this path,
because first he's got somebody who's never ever tried a

(37:05):
case like this and she's now in charge, so little disappointed.
I think the American people really do want to get
back to you know, prices and groceries and let's keep
the economy growing and all those things. This stuff appears
to be I'm going to get you back for what
I did. And quite frankly, boom daddy, I've told you this.

(37:26):
The next president, whoever he or she is, if it's
a Democrat, they're going to do the same thing. We
got to get past this cycle at some point.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Jim. It's funny how politicians try to rewrite history and
almost think that we're going to forget what they said,
or somebody can't pull up a clip with Russian collusion
with Komy. Now you've got Democrats saying, well, there was
Russian you know, Russia did try to influence the election
by putting out misinformation or this or that. But if
you go back to Russian collusion, the narrative then was

(37:57):
under Komy and the Democrats that Trump and Putin were
in cahoots with each other to get you know, the
office for Trump, and that simply has never been proven.
That is false. And Adam shiff who said he had
all this evidence, has never produced a single thing. But
now they're trying to say, well, we never really said that.

(38:19):
We just said that the Russians were trying to somehow
get involved in misinformation when it comes to the election.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Well, here's what's bad about Komy. Republicans don't like him
and Democrats don't like him because if you remember, he
also brought up the Hillary Clinton, right, and that disappeared
right before the election. Yeah, so he brings that up
ten days. That's never supposed to happen. You're never supposed
to bring up anything about those people that are in
a election cycle, especially the last ninety days. He does that,

(38:50):
he actually helps President Trump. Democrats don't like him, Republicans
don't like him. He's in the middle of this thing.
And again, there's probably many others that have wrong evidence
than this. This indictment looks just a little bit too
weak and could be embarrassing for President Trump if it
gets thrown out very quickly. So we'll see what happens.

(39:10):
But this tit for TAT. I don't think it's going
to work because we're going to continue to do it,
and the American people are eventually going to say enough enough.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
By Jim, go Guardians, same here go Guardians, I care,
thank you, Jim or Acy. Former Congressman Bloom Daddy showed
political antlet.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
And I think we are there.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
I think Americans are tired of the tit for tat.
I think that the American people are tired of the bickering,
and the American citizens they want answers, but they also
want those that are representing us in government.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
To do their jobs. That's what we want to see.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Right now, we're on the precipice of another government shutdown.
There is an meeting yesterday between between the President, the
Vice President, and members of Congress and nothing's resolved. Nothing
has been resolved. One side is saying this. One side
is saying that, well, they want to shut it down
because they you know, they want to save money for

(40:16):
Americans on insurance.

Speaker 6 (40:17):
And YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
Then the other, the other side, says no, they want
to shut it down because they don't want the Conservatives
to look like they want That's what it comes down to.
It all comes down to optics and who looks like
they won that particular issue at that moment, what side wins.
That's what it comes down to. The problem is we

(40:42):
are the ones that lose. This internal bickering has to stop.
Americans want transparency and Americans want to be put first.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
That's what we want.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
We're tired of the misinformation, tired of the bait and
switch where We're tired of he said this, She said that,
here's this headline, here's this TikTok snippet video. Stop it,
grow up. They all at this point in time, they
all act like children. They act like children. And I

(41:22):
understand what Reneci is saying by saying, just move on,
let's move forward. Be the bigger person is basically what
he's saying to the President and the Trump administration. Be
the bigger person in the room and move on. Forget revenge,

(41:43):
forget you know, quote unquote using the Department of Justice
as a weapon, even though it was done to you first,
Be the bigger person and move on. I understand that sentiment.
I don't agree with it because the American people deserve
it and want accountability. We want to see that too.

(42:09):
You know, if there has been things like the whole
Russian collusion mantra that they preached and they preached, and
they preached and there is no evidence to it, those
people who spun that narrative should be held accountable. And
I think the American people feel as if nobody has

(42:29):
been accountable for anything for.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
Decades, for decades.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
That's where we come into play, and our votes matter,
and that was heard dramatically in November of last year
through the voting box.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
But we've gotten to a.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Point in politics where again, it doesn't matter who's right,
who's wrong, It doesn't matter whose best interest they have
at heart, who they're representing.

Speaker 6 (43:05):
What is good for the nation. None of that matters
to these people anymore. I'm sorry, it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
What matters is if their side wins.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
That's what matters to them.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
And I don't think these people came into these positions
with that mindset.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
I think the majority of them go in wanting to
be effective, wanting to make change. They're young, they're naive,
and they're driven. And then I think DC and politics
gets their hooks in them and they lose sight of
their purpose and they're pulled in one side or the

(43:54):
other side's direction, and they're.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
Pulled into the fold.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
And then you toe the line and you do what
the party wants.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
And America is sick of it.

Speaker 5 (44:04):
We're sick of it. Transparency, accountability, that's what we want,
that's what we need.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
Will we ever see it. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
I don't know, because then you factor in the media
and how the media is controlled by one side or
the other. Then you factor in social media, what's true,
what's not true.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
All of that.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
We have such a layered issue, layered amounts of issues.
I don't know if well will ever be able to
get through.

Speaker 6 (44:38):
I don't know. I don't know. It's eight fifteen.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
You're listening to the Bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
Welcome back. It's eight twenty one.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience salmon Oda News Radio,
eleven seventy WWVA. Now I want to talk to you
about an upcoming event and an organization here in the
High Valley that does so much for so many of
our young people, and I want to welcome to the studio,
Jay Jack, the executive director of Harmony House.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Good morning, sir.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Good morning, How are you good?

Speaker 5 (45:21):
Good?

Speaker 6 (45:21):
Okay? So, Harmony House give us some background.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
Please for those who aren't familiar with the organization, what
you do and who you work with, tell.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
Us about it, okay.

Speaker 8 (45:33):
Harmony House is a children's advocacy center and what that is.
It is a place that was created out of Alabama,
I believe in the late nineties started a whole movement
and it is basically a place that law enforcement and

(45:56):
chold protective services they refer to to us and we
do interviews of children that have been abused, neglected, sexually abused,
and we try and do what we can to put
them in an environment that is comfortable, child friendly, where

(46:19):
it's a little bit easier to talk about some difficult information.
You know, we see kids. Last year, we did approximately
three hundred and twenty five interviews of kids here in
the valley. The majority of the time we're dealing with
sexual abuse. Physical abuse is probably the next biggest that

(46:42):
we deal with, but fifty five percent of all the
cases we deal with our sexual abuse. So we're trying
to get these kids to tell their story so we
can help the agencies that do prosecute people that are offenders.

(47:03):
We do this so children can get justice and so
that they can process their issues of trauma. Trauma is
just so pervasive with any kid that has had something
negative that's happened to them. We're just trying to do

(47:24):
as much as we can to make their.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Lives a little bit easier, a little bit better.

Speaker 5 (47:30):
So Harmony House is a safe place, a safe space,
a soft landing for kids and families to have the
conversations that a parent, a grandparent, a teacher, you know,
anybody that comes in contact with kids. They may not
be equipped to have those conversations.

Speaker 8 (47:52):
That's right, okay, because honestly it is. It's easy to
talk to a child, you know, most kids want to
talk to you, But when you have to talk about
something like sexual abuse, about you know, being physically touched
by somebody that you know they may consider a loved one,

(48:16):
it's very difficult. You know, from a adults perspective to
talk about some of these things.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
It's difficult, so.

Speaker 8 (48:25):
Imagine how hard it is for a child to talk
about some of these things.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
And on staff, you have counselors license that do these interviews.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yes, we have.

Speaker 8 (48:37):
We actually have a center in Wheeling and we also
have one in Saint Clairsville, Ohio, but we have a
designated interview specialist at both locations. We have therapy, we
have advocates at both locations, and we also do a

(48:58):
lot of community education.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
So at Harmony House, you're doing the work that you know,
supports law enforcement, but also supports the like I mentioned
the family, the parents.

Speaker 6 (49:09):
And of course the victims.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
But part of Harmony House is you are a nonprofit right,
so you need the support of the community that you
support and the kids in the community. So that takes
us to this year's Harmony Haunt, which seems like Halloween
in the Haunt has become you know, the Harmony House
go to annual fundraisers. So tell us about the fundraiser.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
Well, this is the first year that we've were actually
calling it the Haunt. In years past, it's been the
Monster Mash Bash, and it's been in Saint Clair's Fville, Ohio.
We've been doing it for fourteen years now and it's

(49:54):
we decided to move it to West Virginia and kind
of make it a little bit more focused. You know,
in the past, we've had three different big fundraisers. All
of our energy is going to this now and we figured,
let's bring it to the place where we have our

(50:14):
main location, the location that's been here since two thousand
and three, and you know, do what we can to
try and get more people involved with us, more people
seeing what we're doing, and you know, also in the process.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Have a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (50:31):
Well, and it's happening October eleventh, and it's happening, and
I've been in this building. It's an amazing building. Crazy, Oh,
it's so cool, the Scottish Right. And there's gonna be
a little bit of a chill in the air because
the Lady in white is said to haunt the halls.
That's right of the Scottish Right. So you're gonna get entertainment,
you're gonna get food, you're gonna have you're gonna be

(50:52):
of course, donating to a wonderful cause. Now tickets are
still available, yes, and you can simply easily get those online.

Speaker 8 (50:59):
You can get them online. And we currently are still
you know, taking money at the door. We would like
to try and get over two hundred people there. That's
definitely a very optimistic estimate, but you know, we're trying

(51:20):
to get bigger and better and do what we can to.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
You know, do things for the kids.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
And it's not just dinner and drinks. Of course, there
are going to be tours of the facility. Like I said,
the Scottish Right is an amazing building. There's going to
be tours, there's going to be Tarot card readings. And
if you already have your costume ready for Halloween, kick it,
get it out early, get tons of uses out of it,
because there's going to be a costume contest also for

(51:45):
the Harmony Haunt again. This is happening October eleventh, starts
at six o'clock at the Scottish Right. I will share
this on our social media page because you can easily
go and get tickets from there. Jay, thank you so
much for popping in this morning, and I hope you
have a great event. Harmony House is a huge part
of our community and.

Speaker 6 (52:03):
We have to support them as they support us.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
It's a twenty eight you're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Now there are so many things that are laughable, Like
I just saw the Pirates extended Don Kelly's contract he
took over after Derek Shelton got fired. Who the hell
would want to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. What manager of
the Pirates in the last fifteen years has gone on
from managing the Pirates to a more lucrative job. Because

(52:45):
I can't think of any and I'm may be overlooking somebody,
But I seriously cannot think of anybody. You go to
manage the Pittsburgh Pirates, you might as well take your
career select the coffin bury it six feet under be done.
What in embarrassment, Bob Nutting. The Nutting family is to

(53:06):
Major League Baseball. Spend Nutting, win Nutting. This franchise is
going nowhere. Paul Skins, he said it, come on, what
are we doing here? I mean, take a look at
this guy finishes with an ERA under two and is
on a team where he does not have a chance
of winning twenty games. He does not have a chance

(53:28):
of making the postseason. I mean they're jumping up and
down that they won seventy one games this year, seventy
one to ninety one. That is awful. Yet Bob Nutting
doesn't care. He continues to make a profit. He doesn't
care if he puts a competitive team on the field.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are not worth watching other than when

(53:50):
Paul Skins is on the mount. No star power in
the lineup, nothing zero go two hours Awayland Guardians small
market team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, small market team the Cleveland Guardians.
Since the Wild card was introduced in nineteen ninety four,
have made the postseason thirteen times. That's third most in

(54:14):
Major League Baseball. The Braves are first, The Yankees and
the Dodgers are tied at second, and then the Cleveland Guardians.
Yet the Pittsburgh Pirates, how many times have they made
the postseason since nineteen ninety four? Once? Twice? I mean,
I really don't know. I don't think it's three. You
got the Guardians, good farm system, they got good guys

(54:36):
in upper management. They've got ownership that actually cares. They
don't spend the money they should. They get criticized in
Cleveland for that, but they've got a system in place
that produces winning team after winning team. The Pirates they
could have the same, but they've got terrible ownership. The
Nuttings should be a shamed. I can't believe Pittsburgh hasn't

(54:59):
run them out of town yet. I don't know how
you go to a Pirates game. If you're a Pirates fan,
you're talking about one of the cornerstones of the National League.
You're talking one of the Major League Baseball franchises with
a tremendous history that's been flushed down the toilet by
the Nutting family from Wheeling by God, West Virginia. It's

(55:23):
a disgrace. I mean it really is. But Bob Nutting
figured out, the Nutting family figured out, you know, a
decade ago, whenever they took over fifteen years ago, that
as long as they put eleven thousand people in the stands,
shoot off some fireworks and give away some blankets every
couple of weeks and put thirty thousand in there and

(55:44):
keep their payroll pathetic that they could pocket twenty to
thirty million dollars a year. So that's what they do.
They don't care about winning. They don't care about you
as a fan. They don't care. Remember before COVID, I
used to go to West Virginia, Northern to the bookstore,
to the coffee shop there every other day to get

(56:07):
a coffee. I got to know a couple of the
people that work there. They told me Bob Nutting would
come in there, buy a cup of coffee and tip
them a dime or a quarter. This is a billionaire
tipping a dime or a quarter. That gives you an
idea of the mentality, and that mentality is never going

(56:28):
to change. And Major League Baseball sports franchises in general
need to figure out a way to run the Bob
Nuttings out of the sports world. They've got it. Major
League Baseball has got to implement a salary floor, not
a ceiling, a floor for the Bob Nuttings of the
world to force them to spend a certain amount of

(56:50):
money on talent. Because if you don't force the Bob
Nuttings of the world, this is what you get. A
franchise that's an embarrassment, a franchise that sucks, a franchise
that's never gonna win, and an owner who does not
care because he's patting his pockets, he's using the fans,

(57:13):
and he's just an utter disgrace. I don't know how
the guy shows his face. I really don't. In Pittsburgh
and in Wheeling, your name is on that franchise, and
your franchise is a loser, a perennial loser, a laughing stock.
Do you know what kind of a human being you've
got to be to walk around and not care that

(57:36):
your name is associated with being a loser, a laughing stock.
You're talking about a guy who can't read the room.
You're talking about a guy who's incredibly arrogant. And I
guess you're talking about a guy who's got so much
money he doesn't care if he's an embarrassment. But that's
Bob Nutting. I mean, I remember when his dad used

(57:57):
to walk the streets of downtown Wheeling. This guy was
a billionaire and he looked like a bum, a homeless guy.
But yet everybody in Wheeling just kiss the ass of
the Nuttings. It's it's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (58:13):
Well, and here's the thing, Pirate fans need to be
tired of the lip service. And what do I mean
by that? This here's a quote. This season, we fell
well short as an organization, both on and off the field.
Nutting said, it has been unacceptable. Our focus must shift
to execution, to delivering wins. Results are only are The

(58:38):
results are the only thing that matter. We owe it
to our fans, to the city and the legacy of
this team to get it right. And it goes on
from there. Is this not what pirate fans here at
the end of every season, year in and year out,
over and over and over again.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
Aren't you tired of it?

Speaker 5 (59:00):
That's where at a certain point fans need to stop
lining the pockets of Nutting. See, there are certain business
owners out there in this world who figure out.

Speaker 6 (59:15):
In different parts of this country.

Speaker 5 (59:18):
That they are able to move in put on a
big show, and then they milk that area for everything
that it's worth.

Speaker 6 (59:27):
And that's what Nutting is done with the pirates.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
He has squeezed this turnip until it is dry, and
until the fans stop and say I'm done. I'm not
buying tickets anymore. I don't care how many fireworks you have,
or how many free bobbleheads or free miniature bats or
whatever else they give out. They're gonna keep doing it,

(59:52):
and they're gonna.

Speaker 9 (59:53):
Keep doing it and keep doing it, and keep and
keep and keep taking the money in providing you, as
the fan, a sub par product, and at the end
of the season it's not even sub par, actually, And
then at the end of the season you're gonna get
another statement like I just read.

Speaker 6 (01:00:15):
We'll do better next year. We'll do better next year.

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
No, they won't because the owner doesn't care. He doesn't care,
he has no shame in the product that he puts
on the field.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
That's not fair to the fans, and.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
It's not fair to the players either, because they know
that they're considered a joke of the league. They know that,
and the owner should be held responsible in pro sports
that if you are going to own a team, you
have to be obligated to make every attempt to put

(01:00:49):
a good product on the field. Listen, I'm a Browns fan.
I know what it is to be a Losers fan.
Trust me, I know it. I have done it my
entire life. I know what it's like to root for
a loser. The difference is our current ownership is willing

(01:01:09):
to spend the money to bring in players, has not
brought in the right players. Deshaun Watson, there's your example,
you know, on a pedestal. But at least he's willing
to spend the money. I don't agree with the way
he's done it, but at least he's spending the money.
That's the difference. He wants to win, he just doesn't
know how to win. Bob Nutting, he could care less,

(01:01:34):
no shame whatsoever. And the biggest loss in this story
besides the fans, Paul Skiings. I hate when I see
it doesn't matter the sport. An amazing athlete with a
god given skill being wasted, and that's what's happening to
Paul Skins, and that's a huge, huge issue for Pirates

(01:01:57):
fans too. It's unfortunate situation. He'll get out of it,
but it is unfortunate. Eight forty five you're listening to

Back at it all right, we'll talk to you, Doug
Dug you too. There he goes Kevin cookstrab Automotive, and
he's right. When he was sitting there talking about parts
and service, That's what I was thinking of, was was wipers,
because I've used my wipers to the point where they're
they're hanging by a shred. I mean, they look absolutely ridiculous.

(01:06:06):
So yeah, now at the time to start thinking about
all that kind of stuff. So go see our friends
at Straw Automotive. This got me, as you can tell
otis Uh had to he abandoned me. No, he had
to cut out early. Which you know he's a busy man.
That's why you're not hearing his beautiful voice.

Speaker 6 (01:06:25):
Just me. You're stuck with just me.

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
As I mentioned earlier, it's National Love People Day, So
be friendly to your your friends and neighbors and your
co workers today.

Speaker 6 (01:06:36):
Be nice.

Speaker 5 (01:06:36):
And then it's also National Chewing Gum Day. Do you
have a favorite think about Bazooka, Joe, hubbah baba, all
that kind of stuff. Go enjoy some chewing gum today
it is National chewing Gum Day.

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
Who comes up with this stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:06:52):
I mean, there is a national day for everything. At
this point, there's been some like it's also National Orange
Shirt Day, but who came up with that?

Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
Today's Orange Day? Next Tuesday will be Blue.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
Day, National Orange Shirt Day. Yeah, it's insane what people
come up with. Also, we mentioned some birthdays earlier. Let's
se hear Marty Stewart country singer.

Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
Of course people know that name.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
Marty Stewart turns sixty seven years old. Eddie Montgomery of
Montgomery Gentry turns sixty two.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
And here is a.

Speaker 5 (01:07:32):
Name, Johnny Mathis singer ninety years old. He is still
with us. So happy birthday goes out to Johnny mathis
ninety years old. Oh a new research and this was
actually going to be me today. I almost did not

(01:07:54):
come in today because I was up last night and
I did not feel good at all at all. But now,
unlike myself who decided to power through it and knew
I had to be here despite not feeling good for
three hours in the middle of the night, other people
are not doing the same. Nearly one in third Americans

(01:08:17):
now disapprove of colleagues showing up to work while sick.
If you're like me, I'm one of those people where
I power through. I just push through. If I have
the sniffles, if I have a cold, i have a cough,
I just power through. As far as I'm concerned. If
I'm not hugging the porcelain, God, I'm not sick. That's

(01:08:40):
the way I look at it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:40):
That's the way I was raised. I remember my mother.

Speaker 5 (01:08:43):
I would say, you know, I feel terrible. I got
the chills, I got a cough, I've got you know all. Nope,
you're not sick. If you're not if you're not puking,
you're not sick. And that has stayed with me through adulthood.
Well now coworkers are speaking out and according to this poll,
they don't want you to power through. They want you
to go home because they don't want to get sick

(01:09:03):
and people are now starting to speak up for it.
Reasons for working sick included I had already committed, I
couldn't afford to miss work, and they just feel pressure
that they have to be at work that they can't
use sick days. So if you're like me and you
power through, your officemate or cubicle neighbor may not agree

(01:09:25):
with you and they may want you to go home.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Well, it's time for me to go home.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
Otus is already out of here, but tomorrow we've got
politics unleashed. If you have a topic, email Sam at
iHeartMedia dot com or go to our Facebook page and
we have our two commentators go at it tomorrow. So
we want to hear from you
