We're at it again. We're back, We're here Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The nice thing is I have the rest of the
day off after this.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh good, Oh that's right. All you government workers, yay,
still getting to celebrate it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah. We get three holidays next month, three days off
next month.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'll talk about cush.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, we get them off here. Veterans Day. You get
Veterans Day, and then we get Thanksgiving in the day
day after, or at least I think we do.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I don't know. We have to look at the company.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I think we do because I think one of the
things about Veterans Day is bloom Daddy always worked Veterans
Day to honor the veterans, even though it was a holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So Okay, we may do that as well, but we'll
see what happens. Maybe we will, maybe we won't.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
We probably should.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We've got a couple of weeks to figure that out.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, we probably should.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
In the least three weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah. I uh. This weekend went to a couple places
and saw all the Christmas stuff out and everything. I'm like,
oh God, it's coming, it's coming. First of all, before
before anything, we're day late. But yesterday and all was
mister Kirk's birthday. Made ice cream. Yes before we go anywhere,
(01:51):
I want to say, good for seven day late, but
a huge that was him, not me. A huge Happy
birthday to Kirk Porterfield of course, friend of show Kirk's
ice cream.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
So yep, just joking Kirk. Hopefully, well really, you don't
look a day of preety five.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Hopefully Wilbur got you a good birthday gift. Geez, I
didn't tell you're on a roll today?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, you have it.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You're feeling it this morning. Do you have a good weekend?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I do?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I had. I had my Uh let's see, so Friday
spent a little time over at the Resurrection Island m HM,
and Saturday I judged a chili cook off.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I was supposed to join you, but yeah, you didn't
miss anything.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It was like we basically sat in the in the kitchen,
sampled fourteen different chilis. Huh, named the winner, and it
was over.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh how good was it? Though?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Out of the fourteen, there was probably five that were
that I liked, Okay, the rest of them I didn't care.
Some of them were too sweet, like you can tell
they put like too much brown sugar in or something
whatever they did to sweeten the pot. And there were
a couple that just didn't like they had very little flavor.
And somebody had one there was one that almost had
(03:13):
like a lemony flavor and it was weird lemon.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like dish ooh yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And I like lemon stuff, but I don't like my
chili chili. And then there was somebody had pepperoni in
their chili.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well that makes more sense than lemon. Yeah, I've put
cheriso in my chili.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Well that's your's. That's basically that's just spicy sausage.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's an Italian sausage. Yeah, Mexican, I'm sorry. Spanish, it's
a Spanish sausage. That didn't come out right Spanish sausage there.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It came out anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, my apologies for not.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And I had a little we had a little members
only steak fry yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh oh that sounds good. Steak sounds good. No, my
apologies to the chili cook off folks. I stated, miss you.
Sure they didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But one person said I thought Sam was coming, and
I said, yeah, she She said she had better things. Yeah,
that's what I told him.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well. I ended up going to the tattoo convention on Saturday. Also, okay,
you went on Friday. I went on Saturday, and I
my left shoulder still hurts from laying on it for
six hours while I got a six hour tattoo done.
So it did hurt yesterday. Today, it's pretty pretty tender
(04:34):
in here. But uh, what an event. Holy cow, it's wow.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
There are some things there that you see you can't unsee.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You will not see anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It's some things you will can't unsee.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. Yes, there were some interesting you know, tattooed people.
There were some interesting pierced people. I did not see
the show where they hang from their piercings or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh I did, Yeah, I didn't want to see that
to be honest, I tolerated it for about sixty seconds
and then I was like, I can't.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I just.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It was like humans hanging from fishhooks. Like I don't
know how to explain it. Listen. If that's your jam,
all power to you. And it takes a lot to
turn my stomach. This just didn't not my thing.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I had to laugh. The guy that did my tattoos,
he said, he's sitting there. A tribute band came out Friday,
and about halfway through the first song, he goes, oh,
they've been practicing, and I was like what. He goes,
they were here last year, and he gives, they're little
better this year than they were last year. And then
(05:53):
and then they would just say something and he would
make a comment and you couldn't help but laugh because
he had like that we were talking about that dry wit.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, so that was like he would just make this
comment out of nowhere while he's you know, tattooing, right,
and it would just be like, oh, dude, that was funny.
You know, Like they'd be going they were on stage
for like three songs and they go, hey, we're here
for another hour, and then like they played two more
songs we got forty more minutes to go, and they
(06:24):
just kept telling you how long they had to play.
And it was like, oh, and he's like, yeah, there's
an update. I can't remember exactly what he said, but
it just came out of it. Just yeah, it was funny.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I got to give him. I mean, it was a
great event. It was. It was packed in there on Saturday.
It was packed. Like I said, I was. I was
laying on my side for six hours and I got
breaks here and there, so I didn't really get to
walk around and see a lot, but it was constant people.
My husband sat and watched the high State game in
the sports bar, which he actually enjoyed himself. He was like,
(06:59):
I sat next to this old timer man and and
he was explaining me the dog races and they were
going over the book and he was telling my husband,
you know what to look for and this. Then he goes, dude,
knew what he was talking about. Man, he nailed it,
he said. But then he never actually bet on any
of them.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
What, Well, he's the smart guy.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, he said, he sat there and he analyzed, and
he knew what to look for, and he had all
these things and he goes, probably out of six races,
he would have won four or five of them, but
he never actually bet on any of them. He goes.
But he was so interesting to sit and talk to.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So what's your etiquette for tipping the tattoo artist.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That I didn't know what to do?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I did?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I did tip, but I didn't know I didn't so
I I obviously I was there twice. I went and
came back, and you had the same guy both times, right, Yeah,
I tipped Like the first time I tipped a little
more just because it was easier, and the second time
was just twenty percent. So but I mean he made
(08:12):
I think fifty fifty five dollars. I tipped you, well,
fifty five on two and twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
They named their well, my guy named his own hourly prices.
So what is factored into that?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Is the tip factored into?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Like?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
How is that all work? I didn't know what to do,
so I tipped one hundred bucks, but I didn't know.
What's the etiquette. It's it's you know, tricky. The thing
that's funny is my parents came into town to visit,
spent the day with us yesterday watching the football game,
which we'll get into that. But her entire book club
(08:51):
were going yesterday. Nice so to say, it spans generations
and it was an eclectic amount of people at the
tattoo convention.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Your mom got the tail two City's a tattooed on
her back.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Her book club of sixty five and older females or
whatever their ages are, all decided to go to the
tattoo convention yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Lady Oliver twist love it, Gotta love it? Who got Kojo?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And then somebody walked out with Charlotte's Web their favorite
childhood book. Oh anyways, it's seven sixteen on this Monday.
We are jam packed today. I'm not going to break
it all down to you for you, but we have
you don't know no I do, but we have chances
for you to win. Something is happening in Jerusalem.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
We've got what do we have?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We have Wells Township, We've got Township, We've got challenge,
and we've got the Lipsyn Challenge. So stay tuned for
your chances. On the seven sixteen, you're listening to the
Bloe Daddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy w
w VA seven twenty one welcome back to the bloom
(10:02):
Daddy experience. Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
If you're listening to us right now and you're on
your way.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
To work, sorry about your luck.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, you must not be a government employee? Or what
is it bankers hours? Is that the old saying? Because
today is Columbus Day, the anniversary is, of course, celebrates
their arrival in the America's by Christopher Columbus. It's a
national holiday celebrating the Italian explorer who sailed the Ocean
(10:34):
Blue more than five hundred years Again, what was that saying?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Oh night, Oh don't you know? Oh god, I Columbus
sailed the Ocean Blue something fourteen ninety two.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, yeah, yes, anyways, Okay, an observance of course, most
federal offices, banks and post offices will be closed. All
that means my Amazon isn't going to come today.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The amazont they're out for delivery.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I saw, oh really, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It's different than the unless it's coming via the mail.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I think it's coming via.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
The mail, then you're out.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was supposed to come Saturday and it was delayed. Anyways.
The holiday comes with much controversy, In Hawaii, the second
Monday in October is known as Discoverer's Day. Similarly, more similar,
I hate that word. More and more places are celebrating
Indigenous People's Day to honor the Native Americans that were
killed during European colonialism. Piggybacking on that, Congressman Mike Rooley,
(11:30):
who represents Ohio District six, which of course is part
of Belmont County, is Belmont County is Basically, he's introduced
a bill saying that federal funds from UH that would
prohibit federal firm's funds from being distributed to any state
or local government that replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day.
(11:55):
It reaffirms the nation's commitment to recognizing the generations of
Italia Mayoramericans who's courage, sacrifice, and hard work have helped
shape the United States. So basically, it is a bill
for his district in Ohio fighting back against changing in
the woke movement and the whole thing. Let's just observe both,
(12:16):
is it really? I mean, honestly, let's just observe both.
Does it matter?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, you know, when Columbus came in and the Europeans
came to the New World, and they brought disease and
everything else. That was not their intention. Oh you see
what I'm saying, But that's how people want to want
to Yes, you know, so the natives, whether it be
Native Americans or you know, wherever in the Bahamas, wherever
(12:43):
they were, wherever they landed. You know, they didn't have
immune systems for the European diseases. So you know, yeah,
it happens. I mean just because it happened here doesn't
mean it didn't happen anywhere else. I mean, it happened
everywhere when the British went to India or when you
(13:03):
know wherever they the Dutch went to the Caribbean. I
mean it happened.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So we.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Have we have too many for stuff that happened over
five hundred years ago, and we're trying to make amends
for it by calling it Indigenous People's Day. Is the
dumbest thing I've ever heard. Now, Don't I have no
problem honoring the people that were lost, Yes, but I
think just because you've got to burrow up your butt
about Christopher Columbus well, and let's.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Be honest, nine times out of ten, the people that
come up with this stuff they don't really care. It's
about self promotion. It's about making themselves feel better as
if they're fighting the fight for the underrepresented or whatever
terminology you want to use.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I can't read it on the calendar, but there are
one that says for October thirteenth. It's in red okay,
okay or orange or whatever color is. The underneath of
it are four lines, and of course they're so small
I can't read them, but I think there's four lines.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I mean, looking for different holidays for particularly today. Don't
rip your head off. Oh wait, what do we got?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Okay? So it's not bad. It just says that it's
Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh okay, so.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It says Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day, Canada. And then it's
something about the moon, and then it's got what day
it is and how many days are left. So that's
that's kind of what it was. It's no, I didn't figure.
I thought they just had like Indigenous People's Day discovers days.
You know, it was going to be all of them
listed on there.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like I said, you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
We'll give a free shout out. That's from our Liberty
distributors calendar we got somewhere.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yes, people, we have an old school paper calendar.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I have to have one hanging on wall. We have
two of them.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
We do have to. I have my own in here.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes, well that one. You got that one after we
got this one. Yes, that's why we hung it in
there for you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
See, there is such a thing where it's okay to
have things that are still made out of paper, like
and you can write on them. I can't everything everybody,
you know, everybody lives by technology. Now everything has to
be in your phone, tracked on your phone. Your calendar's
on your phone, all your notes are on your phone.
(15:26):
God bless my boss. Listen, he's that guy. Everything is
technology and he's really, really, really good at it. I'm
okay with just little things on sheets of paper here
and there. I'm okay keeping a paper calendar.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I think there's certain things that you can do on paper,
and then certain things you could do on a computer,
Like if you're sharing something with somebody, Like, my handwriting
isn't the greatest in the world, so I should probably
share that on a computer.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Actually, your handwriting isn't bad for a dude.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, when I write fast, it gets worse.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You do struggle with some numbers here and there. There
are times when you give me winners information and I'm
writing out the envelope and I'm like, that's a three,
maybe it's an eight, not.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Quite s somebody asked me that the other day is
at a three.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Eight, But honestly, for a dude, it's not. It's it's
not that.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
When I take my time, I actually have pretty decent
hand rating. Huge, I'd very rarely take my time.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
There is one of one of our wonderful advertisers, Randy LAWLINI.
I'm going to give you a huge, huge shout out
at Laulini Brickingstone. He has the most beautiful handwriting for
a guy or a girl that I've ever seen ever.
It is it is almost like calligraphy.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
My uncle and grandfather were that way.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Really, Oh his.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Hand, beautiful hand rating.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's gorgeous. Seven twenty eight. How do we even get there?
Seven twenty eight you're listening to the Blue Daddy Experience
to forget coming up, we got chances for you to win.
You're on news radio eleven seventy WWVA seven thirty six
(17:11):
on this Monday, The Blendatti Experience Samon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. I guess we'll get a little serious.
We've been kind of goofing around a little bit this morning,
not really goofing around, but just hit on some top
headlines across the world, across the nation. Of course, you're
waking up this morning that all remaining living Israeli hostages
(17:35):
have been released by Hamas. Currently. President Trump is speaking
right now live in Jerusalem. That word today as President Trump,
of course, as I mentioned, is in the region to
mark the first phase of a US negotiated peace plan
designed to end the bloodshed that started on October seventh
of twenty twenty three during the Hamas attack on Israel. Again,
(18:00):
he is speaking currently. The President is speaking currently live
in Jerusalem. Also nationally back here in the States, the
federal government shut down continues today with little signs of
progress for an end in sight. The Senate has conducted
seven total votes on the Democrat and Republican plans for
(18:24):
short term funding, but of course all have failed. Senators
won't be back for another effort until tomorrow because they
get Columbus Day off. Illinois governor is rejecting President Trump's
consideration of invoking the Insurrection Act. During an appearance on
(18:47):
ABC's This Week, the Democratic governor said there is no
ground to use the nineteenth century law. The Insurrection Insurrection
Act would allow active duty troops to be deployed in
US cities. And then also, here's a name we haven't
heard for a for a while. Elon Musk, CEO of TESLA,
(19:08):
is supporting sending federal troops to San Francisco. He shared
a survey on x from the Voice of San Francisco
which shows eighty percent of voters would welcome federal intervention
to deal with the fentanyl epidemic. Musk says it's the
only solution. Here's the thing, a lot of these different cities,
(19:31):
whether it's talking about the fentanyl epidemic Lake in San
Francisco that Musk is talking about here, or Chicago, DC,
when you see the man on the street interviews with
the citizens of these cities that have already had the
National Guard come in, they're thankful. They're thanking this administration
(19:55):
for cracking down on crime, cleaning up the streets, they're
thanking them for. So, you know, I guess it probably
depends on what news source you see these interviews from
because we all know how our media is, but I
couldn't imagine walking down some of the streets of our
cities currently in this nation, Portland being one of them. Oh,
(20:16):
let's talk sports, shall we?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Does she want to talk some sports?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Where are you gonna go when you go baseball? You
wanna go football? Where we wanna go?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I'm gonna let you go baseball first?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
All right? So obviously the Alcs started yesterday. Last night,
the Mariners drew first blood and they took down the
Blue Jays three to one in Game one from Toronto.
Cale Rowley went deep with another home run that he
had this year. Of course, that doesn't count towardys total.
He had sixty one I think for the season. Seattle
now leads a series, the best of seven Series one
(20:48):
no and the Alcs continues today with Game two. Nationally
kicks off today is Game one today, and that will
be the Brewers are hosting the Dodgers in Game one.
It's a best of seven at American Family Field. The
Dodgers are slarted Slarted slated to start left hander Blake
snow on the mound former Pirate, while the Brewers had
(21:10):
yet to name a starter as of last night Snell's
two and oh with a one point three eight e
r A three two starts this postseason. Dodgers are looking
to lock up a spot in the World Series for
the second straight season. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is they mean to
clinch a spot in the Fall Classic for the first
time since nineteen eighty two. Wow, so forty three years ago.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What was the words you came up was slarted?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Slarted that's slated to start. So I just kind of
combined it and dislarted.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Actually sounds like it could be a real word.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh so wait a second before we go any farther,
because I told this guy that I was going to
bring this up today. Okay, what guy one of our
he's won the NCAAA pool. You know how we do
our thing? Yes, so Eric, they went. They took the
kids and grandkids to a pumpkin patch. Okay, they fed
(22:06):
the animals, they got the face painting, they did the store,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
They had their Hallmark Fall WEEKND event.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Guess what they didn't do.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
What they didn't do, yeah, the Fall themed.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They didn't buy any pumpkins. How do you go to
a pumpkin patch, and I come home without a pumpkin.
I was on him yesterday about this, and I said,
I'm gonna bring this up on the show because he listens,
and it's his fault, that's it. He already said. He's
even sitting there going you know, we did go to
(22:41):
a pumpkin patch, we didn't bring home many pumpkin And
then some other guys started chiming in, why didn't you
bring home many? They had six kids with them, like,
get the kids a small pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Well, yeah, I thought you were gonna say they didn't
carve the pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
No, he didn't even get any. He said he got
he got beef jerky that he ate in the store
and something else. I can't remember what else he said
he bought, but it wasn't like and he goes it
was good, and I'm like, well that's great. What do
the kids come home with no pumpkins from a pumpkin
back they get.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Their faces painted?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I think that's oh okay, But I mean, come on, dude, Like.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'm not allowed to get pumpkins anymore for my house.
Pumpkins are moms.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'm not allowed to buy my cousin's wife. You go
to their house this time of year, between now and Thanksgiving,
there's probably two hundred pumpkins around her house. Yeah, inside
and out.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I used to do the whole thing in the front yard.
I used to do the bales of hey with the
moms and the scarecrows and the pumpkins and the whole thing.
I'm not allowed to do it anymore. My husband says
moms are a waste of money because they don't live
very long.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You can't play deer eat them. The deer eat them.
And then I'm not allowed to do the pumpkins because
I never throw them out fast enough and they get
smushy and they row, and then he's the one that
ends up having to throw them out. And the last
time he did it, he didn't pay attention to how
soggy the bottom was, and when he picked it up
and he went to throw it, it like splattered all
(24:07):
over his hands, his shoes, kind of in his face.
So hence my pumpkin buying is no more.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, well, at least you bought him.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well that's true. Oh, okay, ok no, that's fine. That's fine.
Back to back to sports. The Packers founded off the Bengals.
Here's where, of course, this was the first start for
Joe Flacco in a new Ohio football team's jersey, the Bengals.
(24:40):
He passed for two hundred and nineteen yards and two
touchdowns in his debut for Cincinnati. They still lost them,
but two hundred nineteen yards two passing touchdowns not so bad.
That's the week after we got rid of him. When
I say we, I mean the Browns, which, by the way,
got smacked by the Steelers. Yesterday. Wasn't even an entertaining
(25:05):
game to watch. We lost. The Browns lost twenty three
to nine to the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers threw for two
hundred and thirty more than two hundred thirty yards and
two touchdowns. DK Metcalf had almost one hundred receiving yards.
Dylan Gabriel, our rookie quarterback, passed for more than two
hundred and twenty yards. Oh, the Browns are one in five,
(25:30):
the Steelers are four and one. The one thing that
makes me go to bed at night simply is the
Ravens are also now one in five because they've lost
yesterday to cruel escapes me right now. The Chargers, I
believe I believe so that at least, as I said,
(25:55):
I can sleep at night. And then, have you been
watching this Mark sam Chez drama from last weekend where
he got stabbed?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, Well he's finally speaking out. He told reporters outside
of the Marion County jail that he's recovering slowly and
that it's a long process after posing for mugshots and
getting fingerprinted on assault and battery charges. Now the gentleman
also involved. Perry Toole, sixty nine year old truck driver
(26:26):
claims that he stabs Sanchez in the chest in self
defense after the former NFL star, who was drunk at
the time, supposedly attacked him at a hotel loading doc
last weekend. Weird Story, Weird Story seven forty five. Don't forget.
We're gonna have your first chance to win coming up here,
(26:46):
very very very shortly. Happy Monday, folks. I hope you're
enjoying it. We're having some fun. You're listening to the
bloom Daddy Experience. Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA
(27:07):
seven fifty one. Welcome back to the Broom Daddy Experience.
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Just a reminder
coming up here very shortly. Hint, hint, very shortly. Your
first chance to win. This morning. We have a pair
of tickets to Wells Township Haunted House. It's that time
of year, folks, It's spooky Halloween time, and it's time
to buy pumpkins if you go to a pumpkin patch.
(27:30):
Just yes, Eric, just just the little heads up. I
don't know if you remember. Last week we were talking
a little bit about we talked about AI a little bit.
So yesterday I said, my parents were in town and
my dad is sitting there and he keeps like mumbling, right,
he takes his phone and he mumbles, now, keep in
(27:51):
mind God, God blessing him. I love my dad. Of course,
he's the person that ten minutes prior to that, said, hey,
can you pull me up one of those little cartoon
things that I can send in a text of Goofy
the Disney character. So basically he wanted like a meme
that he could, you know, send in the text, And
if you have an iPhone, you go to images on
your text and you send it or a gift or
(28:13):
a jiff or how you say it. I'm like, okay, fine,
and then ten minutes later, he's sitting there mumbling on
his phone and I'm like what. I finally looked at
him and said, what are you doing? Like you're you
gonna watch the football game? Because it was starting to
get annoying. He's won't talking to the to jat chat
GBT GPT, and I said what He guess, yeah, I'm
I'm talking to the computer. Man. I'm like, oh my god,
(28:36):
O cool. So now my dad is using chat GPT,
which I will not use. But anyways, so then this
comes up this morning in you know, prep work that
we're doing and everything, and now the newest trend is
with AI and high school students. So apparently they're not
(29:00):
just using it for schoolwork. Because that's one of the
biggest controversies with all of this AI technology is who's
writing the papers? You know, is it the actual students?
How much are they you know, how much are they
able to cheat using AI? Who's really doing the work. Well, now,
(29:23):
it's not just that there's a recent study that came
out that has found that one in five of these
high school students that were surveyed have gotten into romantic
relationships with AI. How does that work? That's disturbing, that's weird.
(29:49):
So one in five high school students are using AI
and have gotten into romantic relationships with the what about you,
it's not a robot, the app, the I don't even
know what the terminology would for. It would be the program,
I guess. Yeah. They're turning to AI for companionship and
(30:14):
plus or mental health support. Here's the thing. The State
of Ohio is getting involved, and they are the state
is working on a bill where they want to make
it illegal to marry AI, so they're trying to cut
(30:38):
it off before it even gets to the point where
there are people out there who want to marry AI technology.
You know, things are just getting weird, folks just getting weird.
I mean, I said yesterday my parents. Of course, then
(30:59):
once I've figured out what my dad was doing as
we started talking about AI, and it's going to get
to the point, you know, twenty twenty five years from now,
human beings aren't gonna have to do anything for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Anything.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I mean, we have remotes that you can talk into,
so you know, you don't wear out your fingers pushing
the buttons on a remote control. You can talk into it,
which I think is so stupid. Talk to text now, AI,
you don't have to think for yourself. You don't have
to research for yourself, you don't have to write for yourself.
You know, students don't have to think for themselves. That's
(31:36):
part of education. Part of education is not just knowing
the answers to a test, it's actually being able to
do critical thinking to figure things out. One thing that
stuck to me when I was in high school that
I really remember. I hate math. I'm terrible at math.
(31:59):
Do not ask me to do fractions, Do not ask
me to do percentages, do not ask me to do
long long division. I'm bad at it. Hence I sit
here and I talk for a living. I'm terrible at math.
But I remember saying to my algebra teachers, Miss Bourg
was her name. I think she's still there, actually, I said,
(32:22):
what is the point of this? When will we ever
use this? As an adult? You know, no matter what
career you're in, unless you're a math teacher or an
algebra teacher, when are you ever gonna come with up
against X plus y equals V squared or whatever one
of those crazy looking things were. And she said this
(32:45):
to me, She said, it's not. It's not the equation,
it's not the algebra. What we're teaching you to do
is how to think, how to critically work through the
steps to figure out a problem. It's not the point
is not the answer to the problem. The point is
(33:08):
how to learn and work your way through and think
your way through to the answer of the problem. If
we take that away in our education, if we take
those steps away from our students and they don't have
(33:28):
to work their way through the process of figuring things out,
that critical thinking, and we have a robot or a
program or an algorithm or whatever title you want to
give a I artificial intelligence, which is what that stands for.
If we take that away from young people and they
(33:51):
don't know how to think for themselves and figure things out,
what disservice are we providing to young people? Where's that
going to leave them in their ability to figure out
problems on their own? But this isn't a problem. I'm
going to leave you with that. One eight hundred sixty two,
(34:11):
four eleven seventy your first chance to win one eight
hundred sixty two, four eleven seventy. Let's do lucky number
thirteen on this Monday It's seven point fifty eight. You're
listening to The Bloomdaddy Experience, samon OTAs News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Eight a six. Welcome back on your Monday, The bloom
Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. We're
talking pumpkins a little bit earlier. This is a hilarious
story out of Parma Heights, Ohio. So the police Department,
the officers there, they found themselves in an interesting pursuit,
(35:14):
if you will. They were chasing after an escaped giant
inflatable pumpkin broke loose from a home enrolled through the community,
and this happened earlier last week. Body camera footage has
been released by the department that shows an officer and
civilian holding the decoration at the roadside after the chase.
(35:37):
One of the officers said, I was pretty much in
pursuit during the video, and police transported the oversized pumpkin
back to its owner's property, and they got it shoved
all the way into their patrol vehicle. They made it fit.
Officers can confirm that Cinderella's carriage did, in fact turn
back into a pumpkin just after midnight in Parma Height.
(36:01):
So congrats to the officers for chasing down with him.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Being from a high you figured they would have tied
it to the top of the cruiser. Why, because that's
what people do. They tie their beds, there's whatever they can,
the chair, whatever their sofas they put it. They tie
it to the top of their cars.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Everybody does. There's tons of people that do that.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Not everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I see tons of people do. What's I got to
do with Ohio? Oh God, here we go. Okay, wait
a second, I get it. This is another Otis rips
on Ohio driver's situation scenarios. Okay, if we were okay, no, nope, no,
we're not going there. FYI? Uh did West Virginia drivers
(36:47):
park cock eyed in the parking spots?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
This coming from the person that's crooked every day.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I am I park parked beautifully out there. Okay, how
go look out there? Tell me?
Speaker 3 (36:59):
I oh you might got it today, but the other
day you were so crooked it was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Yes, your front end was like a foot off of
the curb. Your back end was almost touching the curb.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Oh no, yes, yes, no.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Yes, because I sit there and I laugh every time
I go out and look, or you're over the line
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Okay, so wait a second, this from the person who Okay,
so there's four parking spots right on main Street. Right
we get here. We get here early enough in the
morning that there's usually two, three, or maybe all four
spots are open. Not usually, but usually at least a
minimum of two are open. It can go the furthest
(37:40):
one away is full, then the second one's got a
car in it, and then there's two back to back.
You know what he does if he gets here before me,
He takes the last one. Yeah, so instead of pulling
all the way in to be the third car.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Because I don't trust anybody else parking that way, I
have room to back up and get out, But.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
You would rather trust me parallel parking in between. You're
cheap in another car.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I feel sorry for the curb, but out of.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Just pure like courtesy. If you're the third car.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
There's a car in front of me, and they leave
before you get here. Now, yes, it is because they
work over at Williams Lee and they'd leave. They leave
it all hours of the day over there.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I don't believe you. That annoys the crap out of
me every morning. I could be realized that that's why
I do it. Yeah, yeah, who's the inconsiderate driver?
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Mmm, that's not I'm in the parking space.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I could easily just pull right in.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
I could. I don't want somebody in front of me
and behind me, because then the way you park, if
you're over the line, I got no room to get
out again.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
But if I'm such a bad parker, I would think
you would be more worried about me trying to parallel
park and not hit your car.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Oh okay, so then I'm not that bad of a parker.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Pa. I didn't say you. I didn't say you were
a good parker. I just said I wasn't worried about it.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Okay, fine, fine, whatever.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Your husband could tell me if you're a good parallel
parker or not?
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yes, and he would say I am, Did I miss
a joke there, I get I think I did something
just went completely over my head, didn't it?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
What?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Nothing, even you're even leaning back in your chair, So
I know I miss something. I don't know what it was,
but I feel like I missed something.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
How about Penn State fire And I was just getting
to that you missed.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
This in the sports segment.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, like it wasn't she deserved it? Yeah, but but
it cost him fifty million dollars. That was the buyout.
He doesn't even need another job, Like I would just
I would just park it and say I'm done.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I'd ride off into the sunset.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Fifty mil. Yeah, live in the Caribbean, not even worry
about football anymore.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
No.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Well, I mean I said this to my husband. You
just always knew if it was a big game, Penn.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
State was going to choke anymore game.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, but you knew they You knew they would choke
under hit. You just knew it. And to see, my
husband's a big he's a big defender of the Big Ten.
Like if we're not if High State's not playing them,
you support another Big Ten teams. So I kind of
get that. I get that, But you just knew he
was gonna.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Once you play somebody, do you want everybody on your
schedule to win except for when you play him because
it makes your schedule look better.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
So it doesn't matter if it's a if it's a
conference game or non conference game.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
So I get all that. Yeah, but I was like,
you're missing my point. My point is you knew that
they were gonna choke. It's just the way it was. So, yes,
he is, he is out. I didn't realize he's been
the head coach since twenty fourteen. I didn't realize it's
been that long. Doesn't seem like he's been there that.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Long, but I guess he has not there anymore. Nopp
nop nop lot's of Penn State gear going up for
donation out of the James Franklin House.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yikes. Yikes. In other sports news, this is not Oklahoma City.
A high school girls basketball team has voluntarily returned their
championship trophy Okay after their coach discovered they had actually
lost the game.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Hm uh.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
The school is the Academy of Classical Christian Studies. They
appeared to defeat Apache High School forty four to thirty
forty three on a buzzer beater. However, coach King reviewed
the game tape that night, and due to scoreboard confusion
(42:02):
during the contest, realized the score was wrong. As soon
as I walked out of the locker room, my stomach
kind of turned into notts and I said, I'm going
to need to know if we really won this game
or not. That's what the coach told CBS News. His
basket by basket recount revealed the true score was forty
three forty two in the opposing team's favor, which is Apache.
(42:26):
The league rules prohibit score changes after games end. King
informed his team players unanimously, unanimously agreed to return the trophy.
King personally delivered it to Apache High School. Boy, that's
a hard.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
That's well, that's true sportsmanship breakdown.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
You know if the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association isn't
going to recognize that Apache won the game because you
can't change the score afterwards, this other schools, this Academy
of Classic, they're going to go down as the state champion.
But you know, in the books it's going to say
(43:11):
that school, but it's actually Apache that was the I mean,
they're going to have the trophy that says that they wanted.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Well, here's the thing that coach reviewing that that video.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I mean, he could have very easily just walked away
and left that Yep, guess what not my fault left.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Those findings in his office and not told us, not
told us. Soul.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Well, I'm sure I'm sure it would have been reviewed somewhere.
Somebody would have known. If there's videotape of that game,
Oh absolutely, whether it be a parent or whatever. And
then all you have to do is put it out
there for people to see, and they're going to say, well,
you guys didn't really win, So he did the right
thing in kudos did the girls that wasn't to give
(43:52):
it up?
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Oh yeah, And they should change the history books if
the players agree, the coaches agree, change it in the documents.
I mean, it's be done. Eight fifteen, don't don't forget.
We're gonna have another chance for you to win. Coming up.
We're gonna have a four pack to the Absolutely Blast
lip Sync Challenge, which is coming up this Saturday. We're
(44:14):
gonna have your chance for a four pack coming up
here shortly. It's eight fifteen on this Monday. The bloom
Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA eight
twenty one. Welcome back on your Monday, the bloom Daddy Experience,
(44:36):
samon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA. We're gonna go
to Kevin Cook at Straw Automotive because he's working on
Columbus Day, just like us. A SAPs us, Yes, poor SAPs.
How are you, Kevin?
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
We're happy to be here as.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
You can tell.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
Well, why wouldn't I am? I didn't say I wasn't out.
Speaker 4 (45:03):
You know, you woke up on this side of the dirt.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
There you go better than looking at the green and
brown grass, better than looking at the roots.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
Right, it's a good day, you know what.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
You know what other day it is today though, and
this is perfect for your sales team. I've got I've
got inspiration for you on with the sales team this morning. Kevin.
It's it's National kick Butt Day, so on this Monday
they go out there and kick some sales butt today.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
So there's a national kick butt it is.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's the second Monday.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Thanks for joining us. We'll see you tomorrow. But I
guess there you have it all right.
Speaker 4 (45:48):
I never would have never would have come up with
that one.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Oh, it's amazing what they come up with.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
What's going on? Its drop automotive?
Speaker 4 (45:55):
Well, okay, you what man, let's talk about service a
little bit. Okay, you know it's that time of year again.
You know, as everybody knows what's right around the corner.
I don't even want to say it, but you know
that snow, that ice, cold weather, and you need to
get your vehicle checked out before you start driving in
(46:15):
those conditions. You need to get it up here, get
it inspected. You know, when we do an oil change,
just when we do a regular oil change for a customer,
we do a one hundred and fifty three point inspection
of that vehicle. Every time we go over. We check
the brakes, we check that tired depth. We make sure
that all the suspension components are operating and functioning is
they're supposed to u And this is no extra charge
(46:38):
for you. This is something we do. You know, while
the oils drained, you know, technician goes around the vehicle
just to you know, make sure that it's safe. Make
sure that you know, when you get back in that vehicle,
you can do so with confidence knowing that it has
been checked out. We do that every time we put
a vehicle on the lift, no matter what it's up
here for. And one of the things that gets overlooked
(46:59):
a lot, there's lipeer blacks, okay, because you know, when
you're only using them when when it's raining right or
first thing in the morning, when there's a little dew
on them, and a lot of times, you know, those
those things just get overlooked and they get really really
destroyed in the winter. So you know, I suggest to everybody,
you know, before winner gets here, get your wiper blades
(47:21):
looked at it, get them checked out, make sure that
you know that they're doing their job. Get your vehicle
in here for service, and make sure that you know
it's operating as it's supposed to and you can have
a nice, safe vehicle to drive for the winter.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
What's the average lifespan of wiper blades?
Speaker 4 (47:38):
I like to replace mine every year because I mean,
you know, when when it's snowing and ice out there,
I mean that that's really hard on those blades and
on that rubber. Uh. And then you know, the all
the extreme temperature that we've had this year, all that heat,
you know, breaks that rubber down as well. So I'm
big on just do it once you year.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, well that's about that's about what I do.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
So well, well you take the carry your vehicle. We
try to take care.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
That's more like it.
Speaker 3 (48:06):
That's more like it.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
Yeah. But and you know what, and these are award
winning service departments. They have, you know, the highest customer
satisfaction index in design. I mean, all of our shops
have great people in them, and everybody there is doing
everything they can to make to ensure that your vehicle
is safe and that you get to have a great experience.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
There, you have it.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
There, it is service. Come on out there.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
I'll be bringing my stay car out here probably this weekend.
Speaker 4 (48:33):
We'll try to kick but make sure it's right.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
You always do. You got to keep him safe, all right,
Hey up, we'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Back, I should have told him that otis excuse me,
it is also he probably would have. He wouldn't have
known what to say to this one. But it's also
uh national note, broad day, ladies, ladies, no broad Day,
(49:02):
let's all celebrate, oh god. And then on a serious note,
it's also Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. You know the
entire month of October, of course, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
but today kind of really kicks it off. But in
celebration of it, it's also National no broad Day. So
(49:24):
let them breathe, girls, I'm not wearing one. Let him
breathe today. It's the first thing when I get home
from work. Boom gone. You guys have no idea what
a pain that is? We gotta call No Oh, I
thought you were on the phone.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
Oh, but he just he just said, next time we
have Kevin on to ask him a question. Oh and
then hopefully I remember tomorrow and I'll ask that question.
Because basically what he said the guy wantedn't know. He said,
ask Kevin if they still sell the hont to Fit,
which is a very small compact car. Okay, because then
he said, you wouldn't have any problems parallel parking the car.
(50:05):
The caller said it, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
I park beautifully. Mister caller, whatever your name is, she
does did he give a name? Oh? Okay, uh huh
call in rip on me.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
I didn't ask him his name or else because I
thought it was funny myself.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Don't even give your name.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
No, I didn't ask him, so I forgot. It's not
his fault.
Speaker 2 (50:27):
Oh sure, now, of course not.
Speaker 3 (50:30):
But it was kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
And you know what the wiper blades he was talking about.
He's right because the last thing you want, and this
has happened to me. You're on the highway and you're
going seventy miles an hour and it's pouring down rain
and your wiper blades take a nose dive and you
can't see squat. I've had that happen to me, and
(50:51):
it's it's it's like dangling off, like it slides out
of place and it falls apart, and you've got that
like limp part that's flopping around.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
I'm just watching your hand motions while you're doing.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah, I know, nobody can see what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
It's not good, No, it's not good.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
But he is right. He is right.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
We normally is I know, I know what.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
That's what's so great about having somebody in our back
pocket that knows so much about cars? Yes, no, all right, fine,
all right, let's let's uh, let's do our next chance

Speaker 3 (52:38):

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Oh? Okay, I didn't go last year.

sort of a haunted house probably every year for the
last five or six years.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Really, Oh, I haven't been.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
In a one.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
I haven't been in a while. I'd like to go
to one. I don't get somebody to ask me. Take
me all right?
Speaker 4 (52:57):
Fine? Whatever?
Speaker 2 (52:59):
Oh okay, Well Jeff Bezos, he's not happy either. An
article last week blew the lid off of Amazon's Prime Days,
claiming that customers really don't save money and the discounts
are all an illusion. If that wasn't bad enough, the
article appeared in the Washington Post, which is owned by
Bezos himself.
Speaker 5 (53:19):
I am Jeff Bezis, and I'm incensed by an insulent
investigative report insinuating the Prime day deedles are an illusion.
You see a certain newspaper alleges that I raised my
prices ahead of Prime Day, only to lower them to
make them seem like a discount. That it's all smoke
and mirrors. By the way, mirrors were twenty five percent off.
(53:41):
Smoke not concluded. So which horrible rag of a newspaper
was printed such libelous lies.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
It's the Washington Post.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
I own the frickin' Washington Post. It's like a scene
in every horror movie when they say the call is
coming from.
Speaker 3 (53:57):
Inside the house.
Speaker 5 (53:59):
It's like I'm living in a slasher film called I
Know what you did last.
Speaker 3 (54:03):
Prime Day at old freak News. There you have it.
It wasn't that funny.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
I thought it was okay, fine, I.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
Thought it was I mean, like, you're sitting in there,
like leaning back and I'm stretching.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
I'm stretching the tender the tender tender region from my tattoo.
This weekend, it's a little it's a little little sore
this morning, a little smart sore this morning. You know what,
It's funny you had we had that clip this morning.
I actually the weekend before Prime Days, my neighbor was
(54:43):
telling me that Prime Days is all an illusion. That's
on on on average, they raised things thirty percent right
before Prime Days. Then Prime Days comes and it's like, oh,
you're getting this big deal and it really it's all
it's all an ILLUSI has he snoga mirrors, smokes.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
Not included that good line.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
Good line. Well, there's another celebrity in the news not
making people happy. Los Angeles Laker fans not happy. They're
taking Lebron to court, not the court that he's used to.
No ball needed to legal court alleged false advertising. Last week,
(55:29):
the NBA star posted his highly anticipated second decision. We
talked about it. It was all over social media. Fans
thought he was announcing his retirement. Well nope, as we said,
it was an ad for Hennessy. Now, those fans want
James to compensate them for the premium, premium tickets that
(55:51):
they purchased expecting the upcoming season to be his last.
So basically, people said, okay, if one of the best
players of all time, if his last season is going
to be this season, I want the opportunity to see
him before he's done, before he retires. Well that wasn't
(56:12):
the case. It was all smoking merors. It was all
smoking mers. Now. Of course, if you were a fan
of the Cavaliers when they drafted him and the big
decision in twenty ten, that was the last time he
had a big announcement, the big decision he moved from
Cleveland to Miami. But at this point, James has not
(56:35):
commented on the legal action. I don't know if that's you.
This is this advertising, Well, this is.
Speaker 3 (56:44):
What's probably happened. People that like the ticket brokers, probably
purchased the tickets so that they could turn around and
sell them at a higher rate, and now they're because
they're not going to get the rate that they thought
they were going to get.
Speaker 2 (56:58):
Yeah, they're not going to make the profit that they
thought they would.
Speaker 3 (57:01):
So that's probably why they're mad. And I'm sure there's
probably some individuals that might be in there, but I
guarantee you most of them are the ticket broke.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Yeah, I would be. I would be ticked off too.
If I was somebody who was a die hard basketball fan,
especially a Lakers fan, and you wanted to say you
wanted to take your thirteen year old son or whatever,
this would be his last chance to see somebody like
Lebron James play, and you say, you know what, I'm
gonna sacrifice. I'm gonna pay the bigger ticket price, YadA, YadA, YadA,
(57:31):
and then it turns out to be what it actually is.
I would be. I would be peeved too. You know
a lot of people spend beyond their means to not
miss out on something that they think is historic, you know,
sports wise, historic. I would be. I would be a
little peeved, a little peeved too. So we'll see how
(57:52):
that plays out. I don't know if it's necessarily false
advertising because He wasn't advertising anything. He was saying, come.
You know what people assumed was he was retiring. Well,
that's not advertising anything. You see what I'm saying, that's
not him advertising a product. The portion of the allegation
(58:13):
of the decision, he wasn't saying.
Speaker 3 (58:16):
Question for Elgin and Tony when they came it might
be you know what, do these people have legal legal rights?
I mean you you interpret it as it's going to
be the retirement announcement. It's but that was never anything
that led to that that said that.
Speaker 2 (58:32):
I mean so and and at that point in time,
he wasn't advertising a product, an event or anything. He
was just you know, teasing that he might be retiring
now if he got on there and he promoted Hennessy.
Speaker 3 (58:44):
No, he didn't. He didn't tease that he was going
to be. He just they just said, hey, there's a
big announcement coming this day.
Speaker 2 (58:49):
Well people assumed, right, yeah, and we all know the
old saying with assumed it's.
Speaker 3 (58:56):
Like to Sam out of you and me.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Nice, thank you boy. You're just on fire this morning,
I guess so.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
I'm just happy, I'm I'm off to day.
Speaker 2 (59:09):
You have lunch planned yet?
Speaker 3 (59:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (59:11):
Oh, okay, well I'm not asking you.
Speaker 3 (59:13):
Good.
Speaker 2 (59:16):
So the list has come out for the annual ten
most unhealthy fast food restaurants. Who do you think is
number one?
Speaker 3 (59:23):
Number one for unhealthy?
Speaker 2 (59:24):
Unhealthy?
Speaker 3 (59:28):
Is it what I've heard of?
Speaker 2 (59:29):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (59:29):
Okay, because sometimes you get those like random, yeah, like
Jack in the Box, and we don't have any around here.
Speaker 2 (59:35):
No, no, no, it's we have plenty.
Speaker 3 (59:37):
Of these, m okay. So I'm probably gonna go with
If you said plenty of these around here, that takes
out what I was gonna say. So I was gonna
go Hearty's, Carl's Junior. No, I'm gonna go McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (59:54):
No, it's an Ohio based Wendy's. Yep, yep. Wendy's ranked
number one, followed by Sonic are close to Sonics? What
Washington Cannonsburg area?
Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
I think probably never.
Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Been to a Sonic, followed by number three. Oh, Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Oh, I forget about them. That would have been my
number one head I really thought about it.
Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Yeah, Taco Bell, God bless you, Taco Bell. I was
there two weeks ago. It'll be another six months before
I go back.
Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Probably there's times that I want to stop at Taco Bell,
and then I remember what happens afterwards, and I just
keep going.
Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
And that's what got me. I was driving through and
I was hungry, and.
Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
I'm like, you could do the nachos or something to
cheezing the nachos. You're probably good int the pinto beans.
Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
But after that, yeah, well I just I was like,
I want something different, you know, I wanted something quick different.
I'm like, oh, I haven't been to Taco Bell in
a really long time.
Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Twenty four hours later, this time of year, you can
call it Taco Hell.
Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Yeah, twenty four hours later, I realized why I had
not been in there in a long time. So it
goes Wendy's Sonic Taco Bell, followed by Dairy Queen, followed
by KFC. And here's one I forgot about this place.
And I don't even know if we have any Quiznos.
There used to be a Quiznos up at the high
(01:01:16):
Land right here on Market Street. Yeah, it's gone. Highland's
one is gone too. I didn't even know Quiznos was
still around. I thought it completely went out of business.
And McDonald's comes in at number eight. All the way
at number eight, I thought it would have been higher
so if you plan on eating healthy today, you might
(01:01:38):
want to avoid that list. They didn't do so well.
They didn't do so well. But I'm telling you there's
nothing like a junior bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's. I'm sorry,
there just isn't. There just isn't. All Right, you're listening
to the Bloom Daddy Experience. At eight forty five, We're
gonna have one more chance for you to win. So
(01:01:59):
hang with us because it's coming up next here on
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Except you one. Welcome back
to the Blue Daddy Experience. Otis and Sam News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. Hey, I finally decided to open up
(01:02:22):
our text line. I don't know what I was thinking.
I forgot to put it up and pull it up
on my laptop here in front of me. But on
our text line from Tom out of Green County, Pennsylvania,
says Sam very well said, it comes down to critical thinking.
That was my That goes back to my conversation a
little while ago about AI and the use of it
(01:02:43):
in students in high school, and you know how it's
gonna impede education and things like that. So Tom, thank
you very much. And then also no name to this one,
but it said just reaching out to let Otis know
he needs to try the new steak nuggets at RB's.
We talked out on Friday. Oh you did try them,
he said, He said he highly recommends them. He or
(01:03:05):
she doesn't say who this is, but you did try them, and.
Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
I don't know if they're highly recommended. Okay, So I
got the nine piece because they come in five or
nine pieces, and out of my nine pieces, one was
very very chewy, so I don't know if it had
been sitting there longer or whatever. Two of them, I
(01:03:34):
wouldn't even consider them pieces. They were like little pieces
of scrap. So you know, out of my out of
my nine, seven were decent sized. Two of them were
like trimmings, not nuggets. There were more snippets, yes, And
I wasn't a fan of the flavoring. I mean it
(01:03:56):
was it wasn't bad, but.
Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
It wasn't like the seasoning they use.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Yeah, and then it was like they said, well, do
you want a dipping sauce? I'm like, who dipped steak
in barbecue sauce? Some people like, there's no way I
would have done that there.
Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Are some people that everything is dipped.
Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
So I you know what I ordered? Ordered them again?
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
No, did they tell you what cut?
Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
No, of course not. And I'm assuming it's not like
a goodbye or it's not a file at. I get
a text here, Okay, says it's from j R. JR says,
tell Sam to get to work earlier and she can
get the parking spot she wants.
Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
I did, and I did on Friday, and then he
complained that I took the last spot.
Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Remember I didn't complain, Yes you did.
Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
You said. You came in and like, oh thanks, you
took my spot.
Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
You took. I didn't say that because you took my spot,
but I said, but I did. I wasn't complaining. I
just was. It was a little jab.
Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
But I did to you what you do to me
every day.
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
And you had and you immediately had something to say, Okay,
you're so irritating something. I try to get you worked
up and I can't get you worked up.
Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
And you it's life's too short to get worked up
for stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Annoying, annoying. Every morning, I come in every morning and
I see your jeep and I'm like, really, you can't
pull up, Like seriously, you can't pull up.
Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Nope, I want to. I either want the first spot
or the last spot.
Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
It's rude to other people's Are we done yet.
Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
For the show?
Speaker 4 (01:05:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
You got five minutes?
Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Oh all right? Well here here here, how about this
little tidbit. We need to do this on a Friday.
You know how we talk about the ridiculous studies like
what's Elgin's go to shrimp on a shrimp on aill treadmill. Now,
some of those have been cut because of doge in
the government funding and that whole political side of things. Well,
(01:06:11):
here here's a new one. But I think we should
come up with our own study. Something is is goofy
and off the wall. You know what I mean that
these people waste this money on like how fast do
your toenails grow?
Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
And why? Okay, well, this.
Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
New study shows that rats, when they are sober, who
gets a rat drunk prefer silence? Oh wait, no, no, no,
we're not talking drunk. Yes, they have found that rats,
when they are high on cocaine big that they no
(01:06:51):
longer prefer Beethoven or Miles Davis, because when they're sober,
they prefer classical, you know, Beethoven. But when they're when
they're tripping on cocaine or flying high Judas priest, No,
they prefer jazz. They prefer jazz.
Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
What does that prove y clapton cocaine.
Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
I know, what is the point of this study? I
don't know. No, but it was done by Albany med
Albany Medical College. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
That's a great degree.
Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Yeah, so there you have it. I don't know exactly
the purpose. It doesn't really say the purpose of this study,
but I don't know. Maybe it be fun to party
a little with with some.
Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
Rats the band or round and round. I don't know,
let's get off rats. Okay, so when you with Halloween coming.
Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Up, Okay, Halloween it is coming.
Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
Like, what's your what's your candy that you hand out?
Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Reese cut all that I hand out. I'm a bubblegum person.
Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Well it's cheap.
Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
I always do bubble dump and then fund dips. I
have a whole fund dips aren't cheap. I have a
whole box of fun dips. I'm waiting for that. I
already have purchased. See, there's a couple kids on my
road that are highly allergic to peanuts, Like they can't
even be near the like the dust of peanuts. So
that kind of limits because it used to be I
(01:08:28):
was a full pack Reese cup person. Nice, So there's
a reason behind the fun dips in the you know.
Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
But I always have like a variety because like if
you have little kids, like say two and under, sometimes
mom and dad really don't want to give them candy,
so I give them like the crackers.
Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Are you a box raising person?
Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
No, Okay, I would never do raisins, I was going
to say, but I do. Sometimes I'll do free fruit
the fruit gummies, uh or something of that, so they
can have the choice. But what do you think is
the most popular Halloween candy? According to door.
Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
