Speaker 1 (00:01):
D number one Tuch show in the Ohio Valley. This

goal inform, entertain, and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's seven oh six on news Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good Thursday morning to you. And as I kick off.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
This show, I have baseball on my mind because I've
been living it and breathing it, breathing it for the
past two days, and today will be no different. I mean,
ten hour days of progressive field. I'm not complaining, trust me,
it's not work. But I saw a stat last night
that was truly astonishing. The padres Mason Miller threw a

(00:48):
pitch last night clocked at one hundred and four point
five miles per hour.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
One oh four point five miles per hour.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I can't even fathom standing sixty feet six inches away
from that. Actually even closer, because by the time he
releases it, it's a lot closer than sixty feet six inches.
When I look at pitching today, I never thought we
would get to a place where the human body would

(01:19):
be throwing a baseball at one hundred and four point
five miles per hour. But when you take a look
at pitchers, I think, I think you can see exactly
why we are where we are. First of all, training
and all the weighted ball stuff. It destroys arms, but
it makes them stronger than ever. Most of these guys
who throw that hard are going to end up having

(01:41):
Tommy John surgery if they haven't already. There's no way
that a human being can do that with an unnatural
position as it is, and not suffer an injury. But
just take a look at pictures this day, these days,
and this is what I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
To tell you. The size of them.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Go back to the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, the nineties,
pitchers weren't six five, two hundred and forty pounds. Now
almost every one of them has that kind of size.
I mean, you go back to the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,
most pitchers, if you take Roger Clemens out of the mix,

(02:24):
five ten five to eleven six' one. SLENDER i, mean
Think Ron, Gidrey Think Bob, Feller Think Sandy, kofax Think Greg,
maddox think some of those. Guys but as baseball has,
progressed the size of the pitcher has changed. Dramatically, now

(02:46):
all of a, sudden guys who in the, sixties, seventies,
eighties and nineties who used to play third, base first,
base or right field are now on the pitcher's.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
MOUND i, mean think about.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
It if you were six four to two hundred pounds
back in the, day you were playing, third you were playing,
first or you were in right. Field Dave, parker prime.
Example Dave parker today is a. Pitcher Dave parker pre
two thousand would have been a position player without a.
Doubt but now you've got these guys that are six

(03:19):
three to six, six two hundred and ten pounds to
two hundred and fifty pounds chuck in a baseball at
speeds that we never thought were humanly. Possible and what
has happened is the Average Major league faseball fastball has
gone from about ninety two miles an hour to about
ninety five miles an hour in the blink of an.
Eye and the difference between ninety two and ninety five

(03:40):
is the difference between running a four to four to
forty yard dash and a four to seven forty yard.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Dash it is. Significant.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Significant so WHEN i saw one oh four point five
the other, Day i'm, like you've got to be kidding.
Me where is the ceiling to all? THIS i would
have to think that is? IT i, mean that's just
an unbelievable. MARK i remember back WHEN i. Played if
you face somebody throwing high eighties to low, nineties they

(04:15):
were like in albino. Unicorn you just didn't see. That
you never saw. That and that was the top tier that,
was that was the top.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Level you go.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Back to the eighties early, nineties average major league FASTBALL
i believe was eighty nine to ninety one miles an. Hour,
now all of a, sudden we're at ninety. Five pretty,
soon we're gonna be at ninety six ninety seven as
far as the average. Goes and pitching is dominated Major
league baseball to the point Where i'll be quite honest with,
you it's boring to. WATCH i want to watch. BALL

(04:48):
i want to watch balls get put in. PLAY i
want to watch guys have competitive at. Bats the problem
is you've got pitchers now who are so big and
throw so hard that it's cut down on. Contact and
and you couple that with the mentality OF i don't
care IF i strike out.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
ANYMORE i just.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Want to hit a home run or go sit on the,
bench and you have boring. Baseball you have in my,
book terrible. Baseball take a look at That guardians game,
yesterday big win over The Detroit. Tigers entering the eighth,
inning The Detroit tigers were one for eleven with runners
in scoring. Position you know what The guardians, were oh For,

(05:27):
oh they didn't have one guy in scoring position until
the eighth. Inning, now, thankfully they came alive in the
eighth inning with four. Hits they had six previous hits
in the sixteen previous innings In games one and, two
and had four in the eighth. Inning and a lot

(05:49):
of it has to do with the fact that the
mentality of hitting has. Changed now there's no shame in striking.
Out now It's i'm gonna go up there and swing
for the. Fence i'm gonna go sit.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
DOWN i don't. Care single double doesn't matter to.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Me you couple that, mentality which is a terrible, mentality
with the fact that these guys are throwing harder than
ever and you've got what you've got right, now and
that is a lot of boring. Baseball that's the major
league baseball average of about two forty. Three once, again
let's go back in the. Day if you hit two forty,

(06:20):
three you're probably on your way to the minor leagues
the next, day if not the next, day within the next.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Week now that's the major league.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Average you've got guys starting In Major league baseball hitting
one ninety one eighty. Five never in my life DID
i think THAT i would see something like. This so
there's two things going on right now In Major League
baseball THAT i never THOUGHT i would.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
See pitchers throwing.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
At a speed that is incomprehensible to, me and guys
in The major leagues starting for major league teams hitting
below two. Hundred never thought my LIFE i would ever see.
It and to, me the game THAT i grew up,
loving the game that the game THAT i grew up infatuated,

(07:10):
with is a game, that quite, honestly IF i didn't
have to cover it from my, JOB i don't know

in The Ohio. Valley the federal government shutdown is having
a major impact on local residents thousands of federal employees
live right here in the. Valley most of the workers
ARE tsa, agents border patrol, agents and federal court. Staff
many of the employees are required to work because they

are considered. Essential REMEMBER i made, that uh uh made
those differences yesterday with With, Medicare medicaid and. Security the

you recognize this, name lost an amazing, scientist, researcher friend of,
Animals Jane. Goodall, she of, course if you don't recognize that,

(14:04):
name was the world's leading chimpanzee research and she's been
a subject Of i've watched many of, them forty different.
Documentaries she passed away yesterday at the age of ninety,
one ninety one years. Old The Jane Goodall institute confirmed her,
death but she did pass away of natural causes ninety

(14:27):
one years, old so big. Loss her work was featured
in The emmy winning series which was in twenty. Seventeen
it was Titled, jane Titled. Jane what she did for
the chimpanzees amazing and if you ever watched anything that she,
did any of her interactions with, them it just made

(14:48):
you want to interact with that species and how HUMANISTIC
i don't even know if that's the right, term or
if that's even a, word but how close to human
that they actually. Are she brought that to the. Forefront
so we lost her yesterday at the age of ninety,
one and then otis have you looked Into Bad bunny?

(15:10):
Anymore after he was, announced we were both kind of,
like who is this? Person never heard of? Him we're
showing our, age, basically is what we did On. Monday
we showed our age of not knowing WHAT i have
heard of.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Him i've just NEVER i don't Think i've heard any
of his.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Music well me, neither you.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
KNOW i, Mean i've seen the name out there and,
whatever read it in articles and then you know kind
of those news articles that we get every day that you,
know sometimes we look at him and we go it
doesn't relate to our, audience so we're not going to use.
It And Bad bunny has fallen into a handful of those.
Stories so that's HOW i know your.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Name, AH i got. You, well The trump administration is
getting involved with the Super. Bowl they will deploy ice
agents to the Super bowl during the halftime. Performance interesting
according To Corey, lewandowski Former trump campaign manager and current

(16:06):
informal advisor to The Homeland Secretary Security Secretary Christy. Nome
he Said wednesday that On The Benny show that there
is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who
are in this country, illegally not the Super, bowl Super,
bowl and nowhere. Else he called it shameful that THE

(16:27):
nfl chose someone who seems to Hate america so much
to perform at the halftime. Show he in regard to
speaking Of Bad, bunny he previously expressed concerns About ICE's
presence at his, concerts stating At september there are many
reasons WHY i didn't show up in THE, us including

(16:49):
worries that Blank ice agents could be. Outside he's an
Anti ice. Activist he massively Hates. Trump but let's be,
honest THE nfl is going to pander to a particular
particular side of the, aisle and they're doing it once
again With Bad. Bunny and he loves to wear dresses,

(17:13):
Too so there's another little thing About Bad. Bunny look him.
Up those are the PICTURES i found seven twenty. Eight
you're listening to the Bloom Daddy. Experience sam And Otis
News radio eleven SEVENTY.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Wwva welcome back to the show on Your thursday.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
MORNING i think now is a good time Since otis
is out and, about BECAUSE i don't want to make him,
jealous even THOUGH i Like otis to sit here and
talk about my Girl sam a little, bit Because i'm
very proud of what she has become on this radio
station and how ingrained in The Ohio. Valley she truly, is,
because as you, know if you listen to me for,

(17:55):
years if somebody farted in the, VALLEY i knew what,
TIME i, knew how many TOOTS i.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
KNEW i, MEAN i knew.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Everything BECAUSE i just knew, everybody AND i had a
lot of great. Sources now That i've been In cleveland
for over three, years obviously those sources is, waned And
i'm not as in tune with what is going on
in The Ohio valley AS i used to. Be she, is,
though And i'm very proud of her.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
For doing, that AND i want to let you know.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
THAT i, mean you're listening to somebody who is out
about in the community all the, time involved with more
in The Ohio valley than any radio host in this
Entire Ohio.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Valley by. Far sam is involved with.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
More she knows more, people she's in touch with more,
people and she has better sources than any of the
other numb nuts on radio in The valley including, Well
i'm not even gonna say, it very proud out of
what she's. Done i'm very proud on what she continues

(19:04):
to want to. DO i, mean you listen to somebody
every morning who wants to get, better who wants to
know what's going, on who wants.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
To fight for.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
You and that's what talk radio is all, about providing
you with a voice even though you're not the one
on the. Radio And sam has become. That AND i
can tell you this that she puts a lot of
time into. It and look here At. iHeartMedia she wears multiple,
hats not only on air, talent but also in sales

(19:35):
also pretty much running the. PLACE i, mean this girl
does a, lot and she does it very very.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Well so the Reason i'm telling you.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
This is BECAUSE i want you to appreciate what you've.
Got when you take a look at the landscape of
radio across the, country it's, dwindling a, lot a lot of,
cutbacks a lot.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Of people being let.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Go and when you take a look specifically here in
The Ohio, valley And i'm not saying this to be
A Richard head in any stretch of the, imagination but
the talent that you have here in the valley is.
Abysmal let me say that. Again it's abysmal because the
people that you, have specifically Talk radio Minus, sam here

(20:20):
in the, valley they have no idea what they're, doing
they don't have good, sources and they want to sit
there and be blowhards and tell you how great they,
are when in, reality people aren't. Stupid they see right through.
It she does none of. That sam does none of.
That all she does is put her nose to the

(20:40):
grindstone and try to get out there and be a
voice for, you whether It's East Ohio Regional hospital or
any other thing that may.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Be going on in the.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Valley she wants to be on top of, it and
she calls me all the time wanting to, know, hey.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
How DO i do? This how DO i do? That
and most of the TIME i don't need to tell.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Her i'll, say, well tell me what you, think and
she already knows the right path to go. Down this
is not an easy, job and it's not an easy
job for somebody Like, sam Because sam is a very
very good, person as a matter of, fact one of
the best People i've ever met in my. Life and
in order to do this. Job you gotta have a

(21:19):
little how DO i say, it a little jackass in.
You you Gotta i'll put it to you this. WAY
i FELT i got very good at this job WHEN i.
Quit karen what people. Think and this is one of
the toughest things For. Sam And i've told her this countless.
Times you're gonna lose friends over this. Job you're gonna have,

(21:43):
sleepless sleepless nights over this. Job everybody in the valley
knows each. Other she knows, THAT i know that everybody's.
Related but if you do the job, right you can
rest your head on that pillow and go to sleep
and sleep, soundly even though you know that some people
might not like you a whole. Lot and that's been

(22:05):
tough for. Her And i'm probably throwing some stuff out
there THAT i. Shouldn't she's probably gonna get mad at.
Me but it's been very tough for her because she's such.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
A good human.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Being she doesn't want anybody mad at. Her she doesn't
want to disappoint. Anybody And i've told her countless, times
you're too good of a human being to do this,
job WHICH i guess is indicting me in a way
as being a bad human, being AND i like to
think That i'm. Not BUT i think you get the
gist of What i'm. Saying the flip, side OR i should,

(22:35):
say the other side of This. Otis i've Known otis
for a long. Time he's another person that wants to
do right by. You he wants to come out, here
he wants to bring you a good, product he wants
to entertain. You and quite, HONESTLY i think this tandem
that you have here in the morning is something you should.
Cherish it's something you should value because you're not going

(22:55):
to get it anywhere. Else you've got two good human
beings who want to do the right thing and who
love This Ohio valley as much AS i still do
and as much AS i used. To so without getting too,
corny without getting too, SOFT i don't want to have
to turn in my man.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Card i'm just telling you.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Appreciate what you have here on this show With sam And,
otis because they're putting in the, time they're putting in the.
Work the effort is always, there and they're just trying
to do what is right by The Ohio. Valley AND
i can tell you this BECAUSE i know. This the
other guy's doing, it they're not doing it for the right.

(23:39):
Reason and when it comes to, character, bankrupt absolutely. Bankrupt all, Right,
sam you can send the check in the mail for
all those kind.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Words just address it to Bloom.

was a particular character on. There it was a girl
who's now a, guy and they have these, shirtless you,
know sex, scenes and it was blatantly obvious that this
was a female pretend can be a guy was bad
the whole, thing but THEN i went into how the

(25:03):
indoctrination and this and. That, well Listener dan alerted me
and sent us information on a cartoon On. Netflix now

to one of their, shows there are ratings and then
also it mentions the. Genre, okay so this is, okay,
Okay so it's RATED TV y, seven which means rated

(25:51):
for seven year olds and. Up and then the genre

targeted to our. Kids AS i, said there is no.
Warning it is labeled for safe for seven years in

(27:23):
adults has jumped sixty eight percent an adults sixty eight percent.
Jump from the ages of eighteen to twenty four it

are those out there that argue and say that this

(27:46):
is not a social, thing that they're not you, know
there is no indoctrination that this isn't a cultural. Thing
that it's accepted more, now so people now feel more
safe to come out and live this. WAY i beg to.
DIFFER i beg to differ when you see things like,

(28:06):
this these two examples when it comes to, television of,
course we are being. There that is how they force
it to be. Acceptable through. Culture, okay please, do please.

a cartoon character and then have to turn around to
mommy and, say what is a trans there's?

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Seven, okay we don't see it a lot around our.
Area but what if you were in a big city
and somebody once if your kid was out and about
and just happens, Again i'm paying doubles everything right and
says mommy that that woman looks like a man in a.
Dress how are you Gonna are you gonna explain it or?

Speaker 4 (29:06):
NOT i don't. Know maybe that's WHY i don't have.
CHILDREN i don't know that THAT'S.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
I, Mean i'm JUST i, MEAN i get. It you
have to be careful on the warning that you put
on because what do you what are you warning people
have a? LIFESTYLE i don't know if you can do.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
That, okay point well, taken AND i get. IT i get.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
IT i JUST i, mean that's that's in my, Mind
that's How i'm looking at. IT i JUST i think
you'd run into all kinds of lawsuits and everything. Else
if you tried to put a label on it as
adult content or something of that, NATURE.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
I.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
DON'T i. DON'T i don't agree with it by any,
Means BUT i JUST i think you have to be
careful on what you how you labeled before you get.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Sued, NO I I i. DIDN'T i didn't look at
it that from from that. Angle but BUT i agree with.
YOU i agree with. YOU i think it's just we've
GOT i think it's real least sad that we've gotten
to the point where this type of, content content is
being put into our children's. Entertainment this is NOT i,

(30:10):
MEAN i don't. Know maybe people are going to Say
i'm old, school and maybe people are going to say
That i'm too conservative or whatever the terminology are labeled
that you want to throw on. Me but, again this
is how they force it upon.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
WELL i think that's that's a huge part of. It
they do force it upon. Us but the other thing,
is you, KNOW i agree with some of those studies
that that that what you disagreed with by saying that
those people that are now more comfortable SAY i mean
out as trans that's why you're seeing an. INCREASE i

(30:48):
think of a lot of, it not especially in the adult.
WORLD i think it's a little more acceptable.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Not to the.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
Children you. Know, NOW i think that you have adult
influences and things like, that and that can skew numbers
as you know as.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Well, yeah, well AND i think that's where things like
this when it comes To, hollywood the entertainment, world social,
media when our kids are exposed to so much of
this adult subject, matter like this particular type of, lifestyle
then they're, Like, oh, yeah that's the cool, thing that's
what everybody's talking. About that's the cool thing to, do

(31:26):
the cool thing to. Be and they, said, well that's
WHAT i am, too not realizing and not being educated
upon what a long term if they go down that
route and have all the surgeries and allow the poison
put into their bodies for the pills that they take
and everything, else the long term consequences. UNFORTUNATELY i mean.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
Well AND i MEAN i don't think. THAT i MEAN
i think that there's parents out there that you, know
have a little, boy but you know the mom actually
really wondered a little, girl and for you years, old
you just start brainwashing your child that he's a. Girl.
YEAH i have a problem with.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
That, yeah oh, yeah. Absolutely there's a father out there
From california AND i can't of, course can't think of
his name right, now but he and his ex wife
they have been fighting for years at this point where
he's trying to save his little boy from physically being
altered by the mother who wants a, girl and they're stopping.

(32:28):
Him the legal system is stopping, him saying that he
doesn't have a.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Run and remember where it, is It's.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
California oh, yeah there's that side of it. Too kind
of turning the page a little bit, here but along
the same, VEIN i want to give a congratulations to

News radio eleven SEVENTY wwva.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Ze 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.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Off the Bloom.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Daddy experience on News radio ELEVEN seventybva starts.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Now News radio eleven seventy gets The Blue Daddy. Experience,
hey it's eighth. Six let's get this hour. Rolling Good
thursday morning to. You and AS i kick off this,
SHOW i have baseball on my mind Because i've been
living it and breathing, it breathing it for the past two,
days and today will be no. DIFFERENT i, mean ten
hour days of progressive. Field i'm not, complaining trust, me

(35:29):
it's not. Work BUT i saw a stat last night
that was truly. Astonishing the Padres Mason miller threw a
pitch last night clocked at one hundred and four point
five miles per. Hour one oh four point five miles per.
HOUR i can't even fathom standing sixty feet six inches

(35:51):
away from. That actually even, closer because by the time
he releases, it it's a lot closer than sixty feet six.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Inches WHEN i look at pitching.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
TODAY i never thought we would get to a place
where the human body would be throwing a baseball at
one hundred four point five miles per. Hour but when
you take a look at, PITCHERS i, THINK i think
you can see exactly why we are where we. Are
first of, all training and all the weighted ball. Stuff

(36:23):
it destroys, arms but it makes them stronger than. Ever
most of these guys who throw that hard are going
to end up Having Tommy john surgery if they haven't.
Already there's no way that a human being can do
that with an unnatural position as it, is and not
suffer an. Injury but just take a look at pictures this,

(36:45):
day these, days and this is What i'm trying to tell.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
You look at the size of.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Them go back to the, sixties the, seventies the, eighties the,
nineties pitchers weren't six, five.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Two hundred and forty.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Pounds, now well almost every one of them has that
kind of. SIZE i, mean you go back to the, sixties, seventies, eighties,
nineties most, pitchers if you Take Roger clemens out of the,
mix five ten five eleven six'. ONE slender, i Mean Think,
ron Gidrey Think, Bob Feller Think, sandy Kofax Think, greg

(37:23):
maddox think some of.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Those guys.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
But as baseball, has progressed the size of the pitcher has. Changed,
dramatically now all of, a sudden guys who in, the, sixties,
seventies eighties and nineties who used to play, third base,
first base or right field are now on the. PITCHER'S mound,
i mean think. About it if you were six four

(37:48):
to two hundred and thirty pounds back in, the day
you were, playing third you were, playing first or you
were in. Right Field, dave parker. Prime Example dave parker
today is. A Pitcher dave parker pre two thousand would
have been a position player without. A doubt but now
you've got these guys that are six three to, six

(38:09):
six two hundred and ten pounds to two hundred and
fifty pounds chuck in a baseball at speeds that we
never thought were. Humanly possible and what has happened is
The Average major league faseball fastball has gone from about
ninety two miles an hour to about ninety five miles
an hour in the blink of. An eye and the
difference between ninety two and ninety five is the difference

(38:30):
between running a.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Four to four forty yard dash and a four to
seven forty. Yard dash it.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
Is.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Significant significant SO when i saw one oh four point
five the, Other day, i'm like you've got to be.
Kidding me where is the ceiling to? ALL this i
would have to think that? IS it, i mean that's
just an. UNBELIEVABLE mark i remember BACK when. I played

(38:57):
if you face somebody throwing high eighties to, low nineties
they were like in. Albino unicorn you just didn't. See
that you never. Saw that and that was the top tier,
that was that was the. Top level you go back
to the eighties, early nineties average major LEAGUE fastball i

(39:19):
believe was eighty nine to ninety one miles.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
An, hour now all of, a sudden we're at.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Ninety five pretty soon we're going to be at ninety
six ninety seven as far as the. Average goes and
pitching is dominated major league baseball to the Point where
i'll be quite honest, with you it's boring. TO watch
i want to. WATCH ball i want to watch balls
get put. IN play i want to watch guys have.
Competitive bats the problem is you've got pitchers now who

(39:43):
are so big and throw so hard that it's cut down.
On contact and then you couple that with the MENTALITY
of i don't CARE if i strike. OUT anymore i
just want to hit a home run or a go
sit on, the bench and you have. Boring baseball, you
have in, my book. Terrible baseball take a look At
that guardians, game yesterday big win Over The. Detroit tigers

(40:07):
entering the, eighth Inning The detroit tigers were one for
eleven with runners in. Scoring position you know What the,
guardians were Oh, for oh they didn't have one guy
in scoring position until the. Eighth, inning now thankfully they
came alive in the eighth inning with. Four hits they

(40:27):
had six previous hits in the sixteen previous Innings in
games one, and two and had four in the. Eighth
inning and a lot of it has to do with
the fact that the mentality of hitting. Has changed now
there's no shame in. Striking out Now it's i'm gonna
go up there and swing for. The fence i'm gonna go.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
SIT down i. Don't care single double ah doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
To me you couple, that mentality which is a, terrible
mentality with the fact that these guys are throwing harder,
than ever and you've got what you've got, right now
and that is a lot of. Boring baseball that's The
major league baseball average of about two. Forty three, once
again let's go back in. The day if you hit two,
forty three you're probably on your way to the minor

(41:12):
leagues the, next day if not the, next day within the.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Next week now that's the major.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
League average you've got guys Starting In major league baseball
hitting one ninety one.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Eighty five never in my LIFE.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Did i THINK that i would see something. Like this
so there's two things going on right Now In Major
league BASEBALL that i NEVER thought i.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Would see pitchers throwing.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
At a speed that is incomprehensible, to me and guys
in the major leagues starting for major league teams hitting below.
Two hundred never thought MY life i would ever. See
it and, to me the GAME that i grew, up
loving the game that the GAME that i grew up,
infatuated with is a, game that, quite HONESTLY if i

(42:03):
didn't have to cover it from, MY job i don't
Know if i'd Even watch The Bloom daddy show ELEVEN

Eighties okay and then then you were the house Band, FOR, jambree, Usa, correct,
okay yes and then that Filtered into jambery And, the
hills and then we go down musical, History yes now

You take a look at the landscape of radio across,
the country, it's dwindling, a lot a lot, of cutbacks
a lot of people being. Let go and when you
take a look specifically here In The. Ohio Valley and
i'm not saying this to Be A richard head in
any stretch of, the imagination but the talent that you
have here in the valley. Is abysmal let me say.

(55:14):
That again it's abysmal because the people that, you have
specifically talk Radio, minus sam here in, the valley they
have no idea what, they're doing they don't have, good
sources and they want to sit there and be blowhards
and tell you how great, they are when, in reality people.
Aren't stupid they see right. Through it she does none.

(55:37):
Of that sam does none. Of that all she does
is put her nose to the grindstone and try to
get out there and be a voice, for you Whether
It's East Ohio regional hospital or any other thing that
may be going on in. The valley she wants to
be on top. Of it and she calls me all
the time wanting, To, know hey HOW do i? Do

(55:58):
this HOW do i? Do that most of THE time
i don't need to. Tell her, i'll, say well tell
me what, you think and she already knows the right
path to. Go down this is not an, easy job
and it's not an easy job for Somebody, like Sam
because sam is, a very very, good person as a matter,
of fact one of the Best people i've.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
Ever met in.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
My life and in order to do, this job you
gotta have a little.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
HOW do i, say it a little jackass.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
In you You gotta i'll put it to you. THIS
way I felt i got very good at this JOB when.
I quit karen what. People think and this is one
of the toughest Things. For Sam and i've told her this.
Countless times you're gonna lose friends over. This job you're gonna,
have sleepless sleepless nights over. This job everybody in the

(56:48):
valley knows. Each other she, KNOWS that i know that.
Everybody's related but if you do the, job right you
can rest your head on that pillow and go to
sleep and. Sleep soundly even though you know that some
people might not like you a, whole lot and that's
been tough. For Her and i'm probably throwing some stuff

(57:11):
out THERE that. I shouldn't she's probably gonna get mad,
at me but it's been very tough for her because
she's such a good. Human being she doesn't want anybody mad.
At her she doesn't want to. Disappoint Anybody and i've
told her, countless times you're too good of a human
being to do, this JOB which i guess is indicting
me in a way as being a bad. Human BEING
and i like to Think that. I'm NOT but i

(57:32):
think you get the gist Of what. I'm saying the,
flip SIDE or i, should say the other side Of.
This otis I've known otis for a. Long time he's
another person that wants to do right. By you he
wants to come, out here he wants to bring you a,
good product he wants to. Entertain you and, QUITE honestly
i think this tandem that you have here in the

(57:53):
morning is something you. Should cherish it's something you should
value because you're not going to get it. Anywhere else
you've got too good human beings who want to do
the right thing and who Love This ohio valley as
MUCH as i still do and as MUCH as i.
Used to so without getting, too corny without getting, TOO
soft i don't want to have to turn in my.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Appreciate what you have here on this Show with Sam,
and otis because they're putting in, the time they're putting in,
the work the effort is, always there and they're just
trying to do what is right By The. Ohio VALLEY

(01:06:44):
A while, you know they tend to COME and i
don't know why, this is they tend to come Out
of florida. A lot that seems to be the state
of a lot of that kind. Of stuff but, first
off Out Of. DeKalb county now this is Not, in
florida doesn't say the state shoot, my apologies But The

(01:07:08):
DeKalb county Police Arrested kaylan Wattley in september. For theft
NOW when i, HEAR theft, I think i, don't know

you know high value to risk being caught and arrested

(01:07:32):
and charged with theft in the, Whole, thing Well. Not
kaylan klan stole allegedly let me throw that, in there
allegedly stole ninety manhole covers from the streets in the County.

(01:07:59):
of government with possible additional charges expected. To come police
say five separate incidents Occurred, in september Beginning on september
second and throughout the rest of. The month the case
broke When A rockdale county witness recorded two men removing

(01:08:22):
kick i'm pretty Sure Our nissan kick is a. Small
vehicle detectives traced the vehicle's owner and connected him to
