Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
See number one Touch 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.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
WWVA starts now.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy. You know, I thought today i'd check
in with an old friend and just see what's going
on with border security. Art del Cuato, border security advisor
for Fair Federation for American Immigration Reform, twenty two year
border patrol veteran in Arizona joining US now.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Art.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
You know, during the Biden administration the border was a
hot topic, people coming over left and right. But all
seems quiet on the southern front right now, give us
an update.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
So it is. First off, thank you for having me.
And I can tell you are a friend because you
said twenty two year veterans. I've been doing a couple
of interviews and people keep saying twenty one years. They're
like they're docking me a year for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I won't.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I appreciate it. Thank for not seating me those extra
three hundred and sixty five days and probably three hundred
extra investigations from internal affairs for me being vocal at
the time. But look, you're right, the border is the
numbers have gone down to a trickle, but the cartels

(01:26):
are still out there, so they're still moving drugs into
the into the US. Obviously, you're having agents that are
now out in the field that are able to deter
some of the drugs or intercept them. But it makes me,
it makes me wonder. Look like like you said, I've
been doing this for a long time, and I grew
up on the border, and just because you're not seeing
some of it come across, doesn't mean it isn't coming across.

(01:48):
And that's where the worry is. What new tactic is
it that they're utilizing to bring drugs across? The drug
cartels billion dollar industry they work in one hundred and
sixty five different entries. Is where they have the connections. Uh,
And it just it worries me that, you know, some
of it is getting across. How are they bringing it
across with new tactics. I was just up in Maine,

(02:08):
I was up there with with fair In fact, I
was up in Maine in the northern border and I
was seeing how pretty much the Northern Board is open. Now,
if I went up there and saw that, I can
tell you the intel of the cartels is the same.
So they know the Northern Board is open. And President
Trump's doing a great job. However, there's a lot of
obstacles that he continues to face. There's individuals in leadership

(02:30):
positions that continue to, you know, put those those speed
bumps to prevent us from pushing forward with laws. The
numbers are down and everyone's getting you know, detained and
proving their case because of interior policies, but not because
of laws. So that's my worry. You know, what do
we do tomorrow when President Trump is not around? Or

(02:50):
if what do we do if if you know, we
lose another election and you have somebody even more radical
come in, uh, similar to Biden's Biden era, then you know,
this can this can go bad really quick if we
don't get the right laws in place.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, that's what I wanted to ask you from a
people perspective, Trump in less than a year has pretty
much curtailed illegal crossings, something that Biden didn't do for
four years. So is it blatantly obvious now? Art that
Biden and the Democrats wanted illegals coming across in mass numbers.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
You know it is, and I still can't figure it
out why. I know, people talk about voting, people talk about,
you know, the different lines that you can draw when
it comes to districts. It just doesn't make any sense
to allow your country to pretty much get destroyed over
any reason. And I think that's that's I think what

(03:50):
baffles me the most. I guess I'm one of those guys.
I love my country too much that I could never
do that. I could never allow my country to get
this destroyed like that. And the last administration that seems
to be what their objective was. You saw the lawlessness
in the street. I was in DC last week and

(04:10):
I saw him. It was it was so much better
to walk around the streets. I was. I was walking
around past midnight looking at everything. And if I put
something up on my Instagram, a video that I saw
where people were out there just having fun and enjoying
d C. I know you and me have been out
in DC together many times. I don't know when the
last time you were out there, but if you went
out there it's night and day, I'm safer walking downtown

(04:34):
d C in the middle of the night than I
am walking downtown Tucson in the middle of the day.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Wow, that puts things to perspective for sure.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
We're talking Art del Quado, border Security Advisor for Fair
twenty two year Border Patrol veteran border patrol morale destroyed
under the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Where does it sit now under the Trump administration.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's amazing. Look, it's it's through the roof. And and
I talked to agents all the time. They're happy. They're
doing their job. They're doing their full job, which you
know they were doing their job before, but it was
more just processing inside a room, fingerprinting. Now they're doing
their full job. They're detaining people, they're out there chasing
bad guys, they're catching groups, they're catching vehicles, they're catching

(05:17):
and deterring, they're doing other jobs. So they're happy. And
even more importantly is they're able to do their job
without worrying that you're going to have a president or
you know, someone in leadership that's going to turn around
and say, yeah, you were doing your job, but I'm
gonna put you under investigation to go up and do
a press conference and attack these individuals, and I'm talking

(05:38):
about the Horse Patrol. Uh. It's still it still bothers
me that every single individual in a leadership position that
stood up in front of that podium during that press
conference and attacked the horse Patrol. They knew that the
Horse Patrol had done nothing wrong, but they did that
to appease a certain political factor.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
All Right, I've got to former acting director of ICE
on the show in the four o'clock hour to talk
about the attacks that ICE have been under and what
ICE is doing in conjunction.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
With local sheriff's departments.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
We've got some residents here in Lake County planning a
protest Monday outside the sheriff's office because they don't want
the sheriff working with ICE to remove people here illegally.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
And it's kind of funny. I'm looking at the last
line here.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
It says that the Lake Geoga Fights Back Network is
encouraging residents to attend and stand in solidarity with their
immigrant neighbors. They always seem to leave out illegal when
they talk about immigrant neighbors, don't they.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I mean, there's a big difference.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
There's a huge difference. And I keep telling that to people.
There's a difference between lego. There's a difference between illegal
and illegal is not a race. That's another thing that
they don't remember. Look, if you don't want your local
authorities or even if there's local authorities that to some point,
you know, sheriffs or whatever, they don't really want to help.
All right. If you don't want to help, get out
of the way.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
There's an old saying I grew up with. I can't
say it on the air, but it's lead, follow or
get the you know what out of the way.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Uh, And that's what they need to realize. Don't impede
if you don't want to help, well, you know, I mean,
that's that's that's entirely up to you. But a lot
of these groups that are out there standing in solidarity
and protesting, they're impeding and they're stopping federal authorities from
doing their job. They're stopping them from arresting individuals that
are criminals. Some of them don't have that serious criminal

(07:27):
no background, but they're still criminally in the country. That's
still a crime. And remember all these people that were
coming across during the Biden administration. They came across and
what were they asking for they were asking for asylum.
So when you get detained, you go and you show
them if you have an asylum claim or not. The
majority of them don't. That's why they're getting deported. But

(07:48):
it's really bothers them that you have groups of people
out there that are protesting, saying I stand next to them,
I stand behind them. I'm with, well, you know what,
open your doors then and let them live in your house.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's what I say too.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
And to these people protesting, what are you protesting enforcing
the law?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, think of the insanity of that art.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
They're protesting law on the books being enforced, which defines
the country.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Government shut down.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's like to shut down.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, why is the government shut down? It's shut down
because we have a group of politicians that think that
benefits should go to people that are not from this country.
That's just that's baffling to me. That's baffling to me
that you would be a politician in a country but
your entire movement and political agenda is to benefit the country.

(08:38):
You're not a politician of That makes absolutely zero sense
to me.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Zero art. Thanks for the time, We've got to hang
out soon.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Thanks Bernard.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
We'll see you soon, all right, buddy.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Welcome back at seven twenty the Blundetti experienced samon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy w WVa. I'm starting to sound
a little bit more human. I'm getting there, folks, I
am getting there. Still a little bit on the struggle bus,
but you know, we will we will eventually kick this

(09:16):
horrible things. But I wanted to go back a little
bit to the conversation bloom Daddy had with Art del Quato,
great conversation. A couple things I wanted to hit on,
just a little bit of commentary, the term being used immigrant,
and they hit on this a little bit. We keep

(09:36):
leaving out the word illegal, folks. The term illegal needs
to be thrown in there, because they are immigrant. To me,
when I hear that word, that says to me, they
came here properly, They went through the proper channels and
steps and became a US citizen. But was an immigrant

(10:02):
what we have going on today, that's not what's going on.
Over the weekend, the the Chicago or I'm sorry, Chicago
Mayor Johnson lost his mind with a journalist who asked
a question about an illegal alien basically called this journalist
a racist for using that terminology, that it was nasty,

(10:27):
that it's a racist term. No, I'm sorry, it's not.
This person is illegally within this country, plain and simple.
You know, I've had a lot of time, which, by
the way, I've spent about three and a half days
on the couch, so my human contact has been limited
and started to go a bit star crazy, and that's

(10:49):
an understatement. But you know, of course I was on
social media, watching and listening and you know, different things
over the weekend, the commentary on Sunday, the Talking Heads,
the Bill Maher on Friday night. You know, I watched
all this different stuff, and we've lost our minds, folks,

(11:11):
we have, not all of us, A good portion of
this country has lost their minds. I know that sounds
like a very simple, trivial way of saying it, but
I don't know. I don't know another way of putting it.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
You know. You see what happens last night in New
York City the rally for Zoon Mundani, and there's literally
people standing there with shirts that say things like proud socialist. Seriously,
where did we fall off the cliff? When did this happen.

(11:53):
When has it been okay that all is welcome within
this country. You can do whatever you come in however
you want and be in this country, and people are
going to march in protest and fight for you to

(12:15):
make themselves feel better. Let's not miss that message here.
That's what it's all about. But where our borders, the
safety security of our country is completely thrown out the window.
We have mayors, governors, senators, everybody else fighting for citizens

(12:35):
who are not of this country, non citizens of this country,
doing everything they possibly can to fight for these people
who came here illegally, broke our laws to get into
this country. Well, no, I put the blame on the
Biden administration because at that point in time when they
ran this country, they didn't enforce the laws. So you

(12:57):
really can't blame the people for taking the oppertunity to
come into this country illegally at that point in time,
because it was the easiest that it had ever been
to come into this country. But we have all of
these leaders in government fighting for these people who are
here and broke our laws to get into this country.

(13:19):
I don't know if you saw last week. In the meantime, again,
we have leaders of the Democratic Party who put out
a master ICE tracker to track what law enforcement is
doing to capture these people and move them back out

(13:40):
of this country. I'm sorry. Arrest those leaders. I'm sorry
creating something like that to track and let people know
what our law enforcement is doing, to basically set up
a situation where where ICE agents could walk into where

(14:00):
they're completely surprised or caught off guard. Sorry, that's turning
on our law enforcement. That's treason as far as I'm concerned.
If you're a leader in this country, a senator, a governor,
I don't care what title it is, and you think
it's okay to give out in track what our law

(14:22):
enforcement is doing to set them up for them to
possibly walk into a bad situation. Sorry, that is one
of the most vile, disgusting things you could do to
set up our law enforcement who basically walk in every

(14:45):
day to work, putting themselves at risk to protect this nation,
to follow our laws and enforce our laws, and you,
as a leader of willing to set them up.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Mm hmmmm mmm.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Nope, you're the criminal. You're the criminal. You should be
stripped of your seat, you should be stripped of your office.
If you think that's okay. We have to come back
to common sense folk that folks, that's what everybody's fighting for.
And we've lost our way. We've lost our way. As

(15:27):
I mentioned, this weekend, sat and watched I don't know why,
but I did. I watched the political debate between the
three candidates for mayor of New York City. If it
isn't blatantly obvious to I don't know, Stevie wonder Mondamie

(15:50):
is completely unqualified, completely unqualified. I mean, he couldn't answer
a question. He sat there with this stupid smile on
his face, like like it was a TikTok video. I mean,
he just sat there with this smirk, this grin, this

(16:14):
and I thought, what's going on behind the eyes, what's
going on in the brain. He just had this evil
grin on his faces. You know, you all are falling
for it, That's what I was getting from it. You
all are falling for it, and we are, we are.

(16:35):
But the fact that there was a room full of
people last night supporting this the largest city in our nation,
let alone, the financial epicenter of our nation, and a
self affirmed, self identifying whatever term you want to use,

(16:56):
democrat Socialist is leading in the polls. We should be
worried about this. Folks definitely should be worried about this.
I want to talk about an evil grin. Go check
it out, man. Man. Like I said, I went down
a rabbit hole this weekend and it's just God, it's

(17:20):
it's mind numbing, mind numbing. It's seven twenty eight. You're
listening to the bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA, seven thirty six on this Monday morning.

(17:40):
Oh goodness, it is Monday morning. Welcome the bloom Daddy Experience,
samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Oh Otis you
missed me over the weekend. I'm so jealous. What you
got to do? I am so jealous the you're big shopping.

Speaker 7 (17:59):
I was just went to craft show in Washington, PA.
It wasn't that exciting, I.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
Know, but it's such a good place for getting stuff
for the holidays, and I was obviously no use to anybody,
no use to anybody, like a daily function. Don't make
me laugh because then I'll start coughing and I won't
be able to stop. I won't be able to stop.
Just a reminder, folks, get in your registration for free

(18:27):
lunch that will be on Wednesday. We will draw our
winner for that. All you have to do is email
Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name, phone number and company.
That's all you have to do, Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name,
phone number and company. So did you watch any You
probably didn't. You didn't watch any football over the weekend?

(18:49):
Did you You? Did they win? Okay? Well, High Stage
didn't play. Yesterday was another day of being a Browns fan.
I don't know how else to say it. Although Miles
Garrett said a franchise record of five sacks in one game,

(19:10):
he was not happy. Obviously, he threw his helmet into equipment.
It's all over social media right now. He's getting a
lot of flak for that. I don't blame him. I
don't blame him. He busts his hump every week, he

(19:31):
breaks records. He's doing this, he's doing that. He decided
to come back this season after requesting a trade, and
we were putting a subpar product out on that field.
Thirty two thirteen was the lost yesterday to the Patriots.
Thirty two thirteen. The offense is terrible. It's absolutely terrible

(19:54):
and that falls on Kevin Stefanski, plain and simple, plain
and simple. He refuses to give up the play. It's
been this way for three or four years now at
this point, and it's all on him, and I hate
to say it, but it's time for him to go
or be forced to turn over the play calling. Dylan Gabriel,

(20:15):
he's the rookie starting quarterback. He tossed for a pair
of touchdowns and a pair of picks, So those kind
of single each other as each other out. So it
wasn't again once again a terrible outing by the offense.
The Bengals fell to the once winless Jets. So the
Jets get their first home, first win of the season,
thirty nine thirty eight. Now keep in mind Cincinnati Joe Flaccos,

(20:39):
they're starting QB right now because of oh, what's his name?
Burrow is currently out right now. So yeah, the AFC North,
nobody's looking good. Baltimore's looking terrible too. The only one
looking good or are the Steelers. But they lost last night.
They fell thirty five twenty five to Green Bay. Aaron

(21:03):
Rodgers threw for almost two hundred and twenty yards to
go with a pair of touchdowns. DK Metcalf caught a
touchdown but took a horrendous unsportsmanlike conduct penalty late in
the game. As Pittsburgh has dropped too straight and will
they will actually host the Colts on Sunday. The bigger
story out of that game last night the uniforms. Did

(21:25):
you see those uniforms? Otis?

Speaker 7 (21:27):
I saw a picture?

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Are they not? Some of like they're bad? They're they're bad?

Speaker 7 (21:37):
Well they were the thirties.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
I yeah, for some reason, I don't know what is
with the Steelers in their throwback uniforms. They're never any good.
There's the Bumblebees of the remember the bumble Bees of
the past, and now we have this one. I don't
know whoever signed off on this.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
Coming from somebody who's cut are brown and orange.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
Oh okay, we're gonna get in that debate again. But
it's just I don't know. They were just bad. I
posted a picture on our Facebook page to tell us
if you like them, if you thought they were any
any decent to look at. They've got to have better
throwback uniforms out there than these. They've they've got to.
I mean, I don't know. I thought they were terrible.

(22:23):
I thought they were absolutely terrible. What happened with the
World Series over the weekend?

Speaker 7 (22:30):
Well, they didn't play last night. He's travel day, so
it's tall tied up one one, shifting to La Tonight,
Dodgers are going to host the Blue Jays in Game three.
The team split the first two games in Toronto. Dodgers
earned a five to one victory in Game two on
Saturday to tide the best of seven series. Yoshinobo Yamamato

(22:52):
tossed his second consecutive complete game, while Will Smith homard
and drove in three runs to lead the Dodgers. Veteran
Max Scherzer will be on the bump tonight in Game
three for the Blue Jays, while the Dodgers will counter
with fellow right hander and former Pittsburgh pirate Tyler Glassnow.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
So nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice nice.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
Don't forget if you're a hockey fan. Penguin's back on
the ice tonight. They're going to face off against Jake
Naghbors and the Blues at home. Pittsburgh has had has
a four game winning streak snapped following a shootout loss
to the Blue Jackets over the weekend. Penguins are dealing
with a major injury to one of their top six forwards.
Recard Raquel, will miss six to eight weeks with a

(23:36):
broken hand. He got hurt during the loss to Columbus
and had three goals to go with five assists through
Pittsburgh's first nine games. Of course, you can check out
tonight's game and all Penguins games on our sister station,
Eagle one oh seven five. Say it again again? What

(23:57):
do you want me to say? Eagle one O seven five.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yeah, you said that, really good, Eagle one of seven thought.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
You know, I had the opportunity to be there. Somebody
shot it down.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Oh now now now now now, now, let's not go there.
Let's not go there.

Speaker 8 (24:15):
No.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
I even yesterday I tried to watch the football game.
I even turned it off. I hate to say that
as a die hard fan. I turned it off. I
just couldn't. I couldn't anymore. I ended up.

Speaker 7 (24:29):
I didn't watch the second half of the Mountaineer game.
I flipped over and watched one of the Marvel movies.
Really yeah, I just I'm trying to get I'm watching
them out of order. So it's kind of like weird,
Like all the newer ones.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Oh oh, there's there's like a graph of how you're
supposed to watch it.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
I just I guess I didn't do that. Well, didn't
there because like I watched Black Widow, so that sets
it up for the Thunderbolts, the New Avengers. So you
know there's and then Hawkeye, and it just like there's
a character that gets introduced in Black Widow, but I didn't.

(25:07):
I saw her in two other things before I saw
her introduction.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
See after what was the last big movie before they
all shoot Endgame?

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Was that the big Avengers End Game?

Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yeah? I saw that one and I was dead.

Speaker 7 (25:26):
Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
Yeah, I was all into it dead And then when
that I'm like, okay, I need a break. It was
almost like like you said, watching everything in order, it was.
It was it was too much work at a certain point.
And then they went into all the individual character movies
like you said.

Speaker 7 (25:47):
Us like, okay, well they're a little mini mini series.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Well then there's the TV series now on the Disney
Plus app two.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
Well some of them are only like six or eight episodes,
So like Hawkeye that has that that's and then there's
a couple other ones in there.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
I just don't want to do research on how to
watch something in order, Like you know what I mean, you.

Speaker 7 (26:09):
Figured out you don't necessarily have to watch them in
order you can figure it out.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Oh, I just I don't want that much hard work.
I guess.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
No.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
I got to the point this weekend.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
Where well, then, like I watched The Eternals.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Now, what is that?

Speaker 7 (26:23):
It's a Marvel movie? Oh, but it also it kind
of it's a predecessor to the one where Harrison Ford's
the Red Hulk and the President, which is what is
that Captain America or geez, Yeah, it's a predecessor for that,
So I didn't so obviously I saw the other I
saw the Harrison Ford Captain America movie before I saw

(26:45):
the Eternals.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Well, and didn't they just make a new Fantastic for
this summer? Yeah, that's like the their second or third
attempt at trying to make Fantastic for Fly in the
in the theaters and there they've never been successful. I
don't think the movies haven't been I don't know about
the comic books, but they always seem to end up
being being a giant flop. It is seven forty five

(27:10):
on your Monday folks. You're listening to The Blue Daddy
Experience Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back.
It's seven fifty The Bloom Daddy Experience Sam and Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. This weekend we lost a

(27:32):
couple big names, one a little bit older than the other.
If you saw yesterday the loss of Jets Center Nick Mangold.
If you're in a high state fan, of course that
name rings true. Only forty one years old. I remember
watching him play and he always had this different presence.

(27:55):
I don't know if it was the long hair, I
don't know what it was, but only forty one years old,
and it was kidney disease. He was on the waiting
list for a transplant, but unfortunately forty one years old,
along with now a little bit older than forty one,
one hundred year old June Loghart. If you don't know

(28:17):
that name, think Lassie. She's the beloved actress who portrayed
mothers on classic TV series like Lassie and then of
course Lost in Space. She died Thursday at the age
of one hundred years old. She passed from natural causes
at her Santa Monica home. A family spokesperson did confirm.
She played Ruth Martin on Lassie from nineteen fifty eight

(28:39):
and appeared in over two hundred episodes and earning an
Emmy nomination in nineteen fifty nine. She later starred as
Marine Robinson on Lost in Space from sixty five to
sixty eight and doctor Janet Craig on Petticoat Junction until
nineteen seventy. So one hundred years old. She was the

(29:01):
daughter of Oscar NATed artist Oscar nominated character actor Jeane Lockhart.
She won the first UH She won the first Tony

or Money. So one hundred years old. Every time I
hear Lassie, I just think the well isn't wasn't that?

(29:22):
Isn't that the old joke? What was it? Otis?

Speaker 7 (29:28):
I have no idea what you're talking about?

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Who fell in the well? Tommy's in the well? What
was the boy Timmy? Okay, That's that's what I was
trying to get at. Every time I hear Lassie.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
Timmy's I don't know. I'm not in your head, so I.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Don't know, Okay, you never heard anybody else say that
before Timmy's in the well. Isn't that like a classic
episode of Lassie He fell in the well and Lassie
goes and finds him, and they look at Lassie and say, oh,
it's Timmy and the well.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
See Lastie. Because it's in black and white.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Shut up, shut up. I'm sure you've seen Petticoat Junction.
I have Lost in Space.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
That was a big Lost in Space fan. Now I
would watch it if it was on, but I wouldn't.
It wasn't a go to.

Speaker 6 (30:14):
What was the robot in that? But what did it?
It had? Didn't have a saying or something that it
was known for? Danger danger, danger, Well, Will Robinson, Yes, okay, okay, fine, fine, okay,
you're helping me out here this morning.

Speaker 7 (30:36):
You're in charge.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
Oh stop it. I am not, I am not. I
will say this. There were some good things that happened
the past couple of days. I don't know if you've
been paying attention to the gas pomp, but gas has dropped, folks. There,
it's it's already under three dollars. I got it the
other day for under three dollars. I think it was

(30:58):
two dollars. In seventy eight cents something in that arena,
and it was like I wanted to throw a party.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
It's actually gone up, because it was like I was
at a gas station last week it was two sixty
four and now it's up to two eighty nine.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
Oh well, like I said, I went it was like
two or three days ago, and it was for me.
It was the first time I noticed it was under
three dollars, and it was just like, yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
It's In fact, somebody else made the comment on Facebook
that why did gas jump thirty cents in the last week?
Oh okay, So I don't mind to shoot you in
the foot. I mean, it just it did. It was
low and then it hit a little spike there and
I think it's dropping back down now. But for whatever reason,
it went up about thirty cents a gallon last week.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Oh see, I guess I didn't realize the fluctuation. As
I said, I just saw the under three dollars and
was absolutely thrilled at the fact that it was under
three dollars. I mean, I don't know. It feels like
you get nickel and dimed every direction you go, and

(32:09):
you just can't you can't get away from it. I mean,
I was paying bills last night and if our electric
went up, and I'm like, why is our electric gone up?
Why is it gone up? We're running less stuff Like
one of the big things over the summertime is our
pool running and that's been off for about a month
and a half now, going on real, roughly two months

(32:30):
we've had to turned off. And I'm like, our lecture
be going down, It should be going down. But sometimes
it's just like every time you turn around, like I said,
it feels like you're being nickel and dimed. And I
had to call our cell phone company too. I was like,
why has this gone up? Well there was a bump

(32:50):
in the insurance coverage on your phone and YadA, YadA, YadA,
And it's like, oh, okay, sure, sure there was. Well
what am I paying for more? Well, nothing's actually changed
on the coverage, just the price went up. Oh of
course it did, of course it did. Like I said,
it's like every time you turn around, something's gone up,

(33:11):
something's gone up, something's been tweaked, and you can't you
can't get away from it. You just can't get away
from it. Maybe this will happen for me though maybe
probably not. The Mega Million jackpot has soared to seven
hundred and fourteen million dollars, folks. Nobody went over the weekend,
so all six numbers were not drawn, So it's now

(33:34):
searched past seven hundred million dollars. It will be the
next strong will happen tomorrow on Tuesday. Lottery officials say
it has been almost exactly seven years since the game's
first ever billion dollar jackpot, which was one in South Carolina.
So if you want your chance, it's seven hundred and
fourteen million dollars, you need to go get your tickets.

(33:58):
This is the Mega Million, which is not the power ball. Correct,
those are two separate things, right. I'm not a lottery person, Okay,
that's what I thought. I wasn't try. I just wanted
to make sure. So if you want your chance, now's
your time, because it'll be drawn tomorrow. Seven hundred and
fourteen million dollars. I could, uh, I could definitely find

(34:22):
some bills to pay off with that, that is for sure.
Oh my goodness, excuse me, I'm trying, folks. I'm trying.
I know I sound funny. I know I sound like
a cartoon character. But we are getting there, and I
am not contagious by the way. I am on. I've
been to the doctor and all of that, so I'm

(34:42):
not dying unfortunately. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, and real quick.
I've mentioned before, I've talked about how many times I've
gone to Jamaica. It's my favorite country to travel to.
If you have any friends, family, anybody that you know
that lives in Jamaica, it travels to Jamaica. They are
facing Hurricane Melissa. It is expected to make landfall with

(35:07):
winds on one hundred and sixty miles an hour. One
hundred and sixty miles per hour predicted gusts of wind
with this hurricane hitting Jamaica. So keep those people in
your thoughts in prayers, because one hundred and sixty miles
per hour is absolute insane. It's seven point fifty eight.

(36:20):
phone number, and business or company where you work where
we would be taking the food basically. So again that's
all thanks to our friends at River City Otis. Have
you been following the announcement that was made mid last
week about the closing of the homeless campsite, which we'll

(36:40):
officially close on December one.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
Have you as far as following it? No, I mean
I saw the stories, but I mean I'm not really
following it.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Well, there was another story that came out yesterday and
it was Mark Phillips, who's the president of Catholic Charity,
was interviewed and there were some comments that he made
about what is happening with the closure of the encampment.
One comment in regards that he made towards the city

(37:11):
was the city has decided it's too difficult. They can't
do it anymore. They're giving up. That's in regards to
shutting the encampment. I have a question, why is it
the city's responsibility? Why? Why is it the city's responsibility

(37:34):
and the taxpayers. Yeah, I went on to say, it's
a failure, but it's a failure of the systems that
we're supposed to help foster care, health care, addiction treatment.
These people have been failed by society. I understand. Listen,
these are people. This is tough. There's no right answer

(37:57):
to the homeless problem. Here's the thing, folks, this isn't
just affecting here. This is a nation wide problem that
is compounded on so many levels. We have a mental
illness problem, we have a drug addiction problem that has

(38:19):
created such a huge amount of homelessness in our country.
There's no right answer. But I go back to my
original question, why is it the city and taxpayers responsibility

(38:42):
to take care of these people? Why? I don't want
to sound callous, and I don't want to sound cold.
I really truly don't, but please tell me when you
walk around we feeling Wheeling has an immense amount of

(39:05):
charitable work that is done in organizations, and we support
here as much as we possibly can. We're a huge
advocate for the United Way, huge We step up to
the plate when we're asked, but there's only so much

(39:27):
and so far people can go. Again. I don't want
to sound cold and I don't want to sound callous,
but when does the responsibility fall on the individual instead
of the city, the county, the taxpayer. Elgin has a

(39:49):
great line that she has used in different topics, different conversations.
People need a hand up, not a handout. So I
don't consider when talking about what's going on here and Wheeling,
I don't considered a failure on the city. I really don't.

(40:12):
The attempt was made. Was it the pro the exact answer, no?
Did it fix the problem?

Speaker 8 (40:20):
No?

Speaker 6 (40:20):
But at least the attempt was made. Because now, when
this is cleaned out on December first, who's going to
foot the bill for cleaning it up? With everything that's
left the taxpayers the city as they have done multiple
times for other encampments that they have had to tear
down and dispose of. But the question along with who's

(40:45):
going to foot the bill for the cleanup is where
are these people going to go? Now, there's differing reports
out there. The current count of people living at the
encampment of seventy one. I have read and I have
been told different numbers of availability at shelters or the
life Hub. Some people are saying that there's roughly about

(41:09):
five beds short to accommodate these seventy one folks. But
they're five beds short. But then I've also been told
there are a lot more short than five beds. So
can't really verify one where or the other what the
actual number is if they're short. But now where are

(41:31):
they going to go? Where are they going to go?

Speaker 5 (41:36):
So?

Speaker 6 (41:36):
Is it going to spread back out throughout the city?
Is crime going to go up? Are we going to do?
Is it was? It was kept in one area And
I hate to say this, but out of sight, out

(41:58):
of mind, And we've all been kind of living that
way for the year a little bit more that the
encampment has been in service again out of sight, out
of mind. But once they shut it down, that's gonna

(42:18):
no longer be the case. So now where are they
going to go? Where are they going to go? What
are we gonna have to look at again, that's the question.
That's the question. But I do as I said. I

(42:39):
started this off with the commentary by Mark Phillips of
Catholic Charities, you know, saying that it's a failure that
the city decided it was too difficult, that they can't
that they're giving up. I don't want to say they're
giving up. I don't think they're giving up. I think
they realize it's not working. It's not working. But again,

(43:04):
this is not just a Wheeling issue. This is a
national issue. I mean, are we to the point where
we need to bring back mental health facilities? Is that
what needs to be done, and they get treatment there,

(43:26):
But then that goes back to the financial topic. Who
then pays for that? You and I the taxpayer, do
we pay for that? And then you bring in the
drug conversation. You can't force these people. You can't force
people to go get treatment. That's one of the main
reasons a lot of the traditional facilities that they have

(43:51):
access to to stay warm and sleep, they don't want
to follow the rules of the facilities. They still want
to be able to drink and do their drugs, and
they don't want to be there by curfew. Okay, well
you can't then force them into a treatment center. It's
an ever growing problem. It's an ever growing problem. But

(44:14):
I don't think you call the people who try to
come up with a solution for wheeling failures. I don't
think that does anybody any good. It doesn't do anybody
any good. But I hate to see what we're going

(44:34):
to be facing once this is shut down, because then
it's going to come back to safety, security, taxpayers, what's
living next door in places they're not supposed to be.

(44:57):
We're going to be back to having that conversation. It's
eight fifteen. You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience salmon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back. It's eight twenty
on the bloom Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven

(45:20):
seventy WWVA. Otis is working the phone lines and they're

trying to hit those numbers. Everybody's trying to hit the
manufacturers numbers, and we are incentivized to put as mini
vehicles as we possibly can on the road. Let's talk
a little bit today about krosso dogs, keep and ramp. Okay,
let's see what I got out there. Glad Here, I'm

(46:14):
driving glad Are Okay, one of my favorite vehicles to drive.

nine dollars a month, interest rates as little as four
point nine percent. We've also got Grand Cherokees on sale.

be happy.

Speaker 7 (48:15):
I'll supeak speaking from the heart, all right, buddy, All right, guys,
I you too, oh Sue.

Speaker 6 (48:24):
So we have joining us now is doctor Gilman from
Trinity Health System. You know right now. I wanted to
touch on this before we get to the end of
the month. It is October, so of course it is
breast cancer Awareness months. So doctor Gilman, thank you so
much for your time this morning jumping on here with us.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
So, I just wanted to kind of a quick reminder,
a quick education for our listeners about breast cancer, why
October is so special, and and just it just kind
of covers a couple quick things. So just will you
let our people know symptoms for folks, for women to

(49:04):
look for, I'm sorry, not just women, men symptoms to
look for.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
Yeah, So The biggest thing would be to feel a
lump that hasn't been there before. I alouays tell patients,
but so normally lumpy won't be that sy they're supposed
to be. They have ducks, they have all kinds of
tissue in there, but a lump that's new, that's very hard,
that doesn't move around. Sometimes it can be towards the nipple,
so it might pull the nipple in or causing changes there.

(49:32):
You may even see a dimple on the skin itself.
That's another sign. Generally, however, breast cancer is not painful
unless it invades into the skin or the chest wall,
and usually those are advanced signs. Occasionally it can ulcer rate,
which is also an advanced sign, So a little hole
on the tissue that where it goes through the skin.

(49:55):
Those are the main signs, but many patients don't feel anything.
So that's why it's very, very, very important to get
annual mammograms.

Speaker 6 (50:03):
We've noticed, you know, I personally, I know three women
on my street under the age of forty five that
have been diagnosed with breast cancer. In the past year
and a half. Have we seen an increase in younger
females being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
I think that's probably a loaded question. Sometimes they're getting
screening earlier, so we're finding them in ones that we
may not have found until they were older or until
they were more advanced. So we're doing a better job screening,
so we're seeing more of the younger ones. I don't
know if it's a true increase or not, or it's just,

(50:44):
you know, a false increase because we found them more.
But that's part of the reason why they had changed recommendations. Initially,
the recommendations for getting a mammogram started at fifty because
that's when we were finding breast cancers fifty and older.
What we've realized that there are a significant number of
patients that are finding them are having breast cancer earlier

(51:06):
in their forties. So a lot of the agencies, you know,
the academies and stuff like that, have changed their recommendations
to say, start at forty generally every other year to
start with, or if there's a strong family history, started
even earlier than that.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
That's that's exactly what my My last question for you
was how much does family history and genetics come into
play when it comes to talking about breast cancer.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
Quite a bit.

Speaker 8 (51:34):
We've found several genes that are related to breast cancer
caused a significant increase in risk. The two main ones
are b r C A one and b r C
A two or brack of one and bracket two. Those
were kind of made famous by Angelina and Julie a
couple of years ago. She had that and had a
prophylactic mass sectomy. But there are some other minor ones

(51:57):
like P ten and check two mutations that do increase
the risk as well as just this what we call
sporadic family history. Yes, you know, the quoted number of
incidents the breast cancer was always one in eight, but
if your mother, for example, had breast cancer, it actually
goes up to one in four. So it doubles your
risk of having breast cancer just by having your mother

(52:19):
have breast cancer, but not having a gene that we
know of.

Speaker 6 (52:23):
Well, doctor Gilman, thank you so much for your time
this morning, again celebrating breast cancer awareness months this October,
Doctor Gilman from Trinity Health System, again, thank you for
your time this morning.

Speaker 8 (52:34):
Thank you, and get your mammogram.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Yes, absolutely, that's that's the point of this entire conversation.
Get your mammograms. Check yourself if anything feels not normal.
How did she put it, lumpy bumpy, doctor Gilman, that
was the term exactly. That's when you go and get
you go and get checked. So again, thank you so
much this morning, doctor Gilman.

Speaker 8 (52:55):
All right, thanks for having me.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
Huh you're listening to the Bloom Ditty Experience Otis and
Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
You know, I thought today i'd check in with an
old friend and just see what's going on with border security.
Art del Cuato, border security advisor for Fair Federation for
American Immigration Reform, twenty two year border patrol veteran in
Arizona joining US now.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Art.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
You know, during the Biden administration the border was a
hot topic, people coming over left and right. But all
seems quiet on the southern front right now, give us
an update.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
So it is. First off, thank you for having me.
And I can tell you are a friend because you
said twenty two year veterans. I've been doing a couple
of interviews and people keep saying twenty one years. They're
like they're docking me a year.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
So for some reason, I won't cheat you about it.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
I appreciate it. Thanks for not seating me those extra
three hundred and sixty five days and probably three hundred
extra investigations from internal affairs for me being vocal at
the time. But look, you're right, is the numbers have
gone down to a trickle, but the cartels are still

(54:07):
out there, so they're still moving drugs into the into
the US. Obviously you're having agents that are now out
in the field that are able to deter some of
the drugs or intercept them. But it makes me, it
makes me wonder. Look like, like you said, I've been
doing this for a long time, and I grew up
on the border, and just because you're not seeing some
of it come across, doesn't mean it isn't coming across.

(54:29):
And that's where the worry is. What new tactic is
it that they're utilizing to bring drugs across? The drug cartels,
billion dollar industry they work in one hundred and sixty
five different countries, is where they have the connections, and
it just it worries me that you know, some of
it is getting across. How are they bringing it across?
What new tactics. I was just up in Maine. I

(54:49):
was up there with with fair In fact, I was
up in Maine in the northern border, and I was
seeing how pretty much the northern border is open. Now
if I went up there and saw that, I can
tell you the intel of the cartel is the same.
So they know the northern board is open. And President
Trump's doing a great job. However, there's a lot of
obstacles that he continues to face. There's individuals in leadership

(55:10):
position that continue to you know, put those those speed
bumps to prevent us from pushing forward with laws. The
numbers are down and everyone's getting you know, detained and
proving their case because of interior policies, but not because
of laws. So that's my worry. You know, what do
we do tomorrow when President Trump is not around, or

(55:31):
if what do we do if if you know, we
lose another election and you have somebody even more radical
come in, uh, similar to Biden's Biden era of politics,
then you know, this can this can go back really
quick if we don't get the right laws in place.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Well, that's what I wanted to ask you from a
people perspective, Trump in less than a year has pretty
much curtailed illegal crossings, something that.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Biden didn't do for four years.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
So is it blatantly obvious now art that Biden and
the Democrats wanted illegals coming across in mass numbers?

Speaker 4 (56:10):
You know it is, And and I still can't figure
it out why. I know, people talk about voting, people
talk about, you know, the different lines that you can
draw when it comes to districts. It just doesn't make
any sense, uh, to allow your country to pretty much
get destroyed over any reason. And and I think that's

(56:30):
that's I think what baffles me the most. I guess
I'm one of those guys. I love my country too
much that I could never do that. I could never
allow my country to get this destroyed like that. And
and the last administration that seems to be what their
objective was. You saw the lawlessness in the street. I
was in DC last week and I saw him. It

(56:52):
was it was so much better to walk around the streets.
I was. I was walking around past midnight looking at everything.
And if I put something up on my Instagram, a
video that I saw where people were out there just
having fun and enjoying d C. I know you and
me have been out in DC together many times. I
don't know when the last time you were out there,
but if you went out there it's night and day.

(57:13):
I'm safer walking downtown d C in the middle of
the night than I am walking downtown Tucson in the
middle of the day.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
Wow, that puts things in perspective for sure. We're talking
to Art del Guado, border Security advisor for Fair twenty
two year Border Patrol veteran border patrol morale destroyed under
the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Where does it sit now under the Trump administration.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
It's amazing. Look, it's through the roof And I talked
to agents all the time. They're happy. They're doing their job.
They're doing their full job, which you know they were
doing their job before, but it was more just processing
inside a room, fingerprinting. Now they're doing their full job.
They're detaining people, they're out there chasing bad guys, they're
catching groups, they're catching vehicles, they're catching and deterring, they're

(58:00):
doing other jobs. So they're happy. And even more importantly
is they're able to do their job without worrying that
you're going to have a president or you know, someone
in leadership that's going to turn around and say, yeah,
you were doing your job, but I'm going to put
you under investigation to go up and do a press
conference and attack these individuals, and I'm talking about the
Horse Patrol Hill. It still bothers me that every single

(58:25):
individual in a leadership position that stood up in front
of that podium during that press conference and attacked the
Horse Patrol. They knew that the Horse Patrol had done
nothing wrong, but they did that to appease a certain
political factor.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
All Right, I've got Tony Famm, former acting director of ICE,
on the show in the four o'clock hour to talk
about the attacks that ICE have been under and what
ICE is doing in conjunction with local sheriff's departments. We've
got some residents here in Lake County planning a protest
Monday outside the Sheriff's office because they don't want the
share working with ICE to remove people here illegally.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
And it's kind of funny. I'm looking at the last
line here.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
It says that the Lake Geoga Fights Back Network is
encouraging residents to attend and stand in solidarity with their
immigrant neighbors.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
They always seem to leave out.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Illegal when they talk about immigrant neighbors, don't they.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
I mean, there's a big difference.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
There's a huge difference, and I keep telling that to people.
There's a difference between legal, there's a difference between illegal
and illegal is not a race. That's another thing that
they don't remember. Look, if you don't want your local
authorities or even if there's local authorities that to some point,
you know, sheriffs or whatever, they don't really want to help,
all right, Then if you don't want to help, get
out of the way. There's an old saying I grew

(59:43):
up with. I can't say it on the air, but
it's lead, follow or get the you know what out
of the way. Yeah, And that's what they need to realize.
Don't impede if you don't want to help weld, you know,
I mean, that's that's that's entirely up to you. But
a lot of these groups that are out there standing
in solidarity and protesting, they're impeding and they're stopping federal
authorities from doing their job. They're stopping them from arresting

(01:00:05):
individuals that are criminals. Some of them don't have that
serious criminal no background, but they're still criminally in the country.
That's still a crime. And remember all these people that
were coming across during the Biden administration, they came across
and what were they asking for. They were asking for asylum.
So when you get detained, you go and you show
that if you have an assylent claim or not. The

(01:00:26):
majority of them don't. That's why they're getting deported. But
it's really bothers them that you have groups of people
out there that are protesting, saying I stand next to them,
I stand behind them. I'm with, well, you know what,
open your doors then and let them live in your house.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
That's what I say too.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
And to these people protesting, what are you protesting enforcing
the law?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
I mean, think of the insanity of that. Art.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
They're protesting law on the books being enforced, which defines
the country.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Government shut down.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, just like the shut down.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Why is the government shut down. It's shut down because
we have a group of politicians that think that benefits
should go to people that are not from this country.
That's just that's baffling to me. That's baffling to me
that you would be a politician in a country but
your entire movement and political agenda is to benefit the country.

(01:01:20):
You're not a politician of That makes absolutely zero sense.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
To me, zero art. Thanks for the time. We gotta
hang out soon.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
Thanks Bernard. We'll see you soon, all right, Buddy.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
Eight forty nine on your Monday the Glen Daddy Experienced,
Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. You want
to own a piece of President Trump from his past?
Not a piece of President Trump. I guess that didn't
come out right. A jacket once owned by the President

(01:01:53):
is up for auction now. He had this when he
was the owner of the New Jersey Generals, the three
year stretch of the United States Football League, which attempted
to rival the NFL. I don't remember that one.

Speaker 7 (01:02:07):
You remember the USFL. They had Jim Kelly the yes.

Speaker 6 (01:02:11):
Yeah, okay, okay, yes, USFL. Okay. I didn't. I just
read it and I didn't do the letter thing. Okay.
Let's see here. Trump owned the team that represented New
Jersey and played at Giants Stadium forty years after the
last USFL game. Trump's general's jacket is now up for auction.
The white jacket is embroidered with Trump on the right

(01:02:31):
chest and a general's helmet on the left. The collar, wrists,
and bottom of the jacket features the team's colors. That's
not I mean that's also sports memorabilia too. I don't
know how much I would pay for it, though it
sounds like a I don't know, I don't know. I
don't know if I put a lot a lot on

(01:02:53):
that at It's not like he was part owner of
the Giants, you know what I mean. It's like, I
don't know, no, yes, okay.

Speaker 7 (01:03:06):
Well, I don't know what you're asking.

Speaker 6 (01:03:08):
I mean, it's just it was a USFL team.

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
It wasn't there was also it was the league that
first challenged I mean other than the AFL, but it
was a league that challenged the NFL and had moderate success.
But you know, they they filed an anti trust lawsuit
and I think the check was for one dollar, so

(01:03:32):
I mean that's what the NFL had to pay the
USFL was one dollar. So I mean it's a piece
of history.

Speaker 6 (01:03:41):
Yeah, it was kind of.

Speaker 7 (01:03:43):
Just like I mean, it's just like any of the
anything that has to do with that league, because it
was it was. It was an interesting league. Pittsburgh had
they had it. They were the Pittsburgh Malers. They were
in the inaugural season and then they didn't come back.
Mic Rose year their first pick. He was the might
have been the Heisman Trophy winner out of Nebraska. He

(01:04:05):
was at least the Heisman Trophy candidate. I think he won,
but it's been so long ago. I can't remember. Doug
Flutie was in that league. Jim Kelly, Reggie White, hershel Walker.
That hurt. That hurt herschel Walker's career. Oh really, I
think it did. Because I had he gone straight to
the NFL, I think he'd be in the Hall of

(01:04:26):
Fame right now. I think spending three years in the USFL,
being on the Cowboys team that was mediocre, being in
the trade for the Viking with the Vikings that made
the Cowboys relevant and led them to their championships, I think,
I mean, I think herschel Walker would have been in
the in the Hall of Fame had he gone straight

(01:04:46):
to the NFL. I think he. I think he's been
penalized a little bit. Kind of trying to think who
else was in that league because he had Jim Kelly
was with the Memphis Showboats. Flutie I think was with
the Philadelphia Stars. I can't remember who Reggie White played for.

(01:05:10):
They had the Orlando Breakers, or maybe it was the
New Orleans Breakers that maybe moved to Orlando. You had
the I think they were the LA Gunslingers. It was
one of the teams. That's a good name, just going
off the top of my head.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
Here too, this is how do you remember this?

Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
There was this team in San Antonio. Maybe it was
the Houston somebody was the Gamblers.

Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
Wow, I'm quite impressed with your memory.

Speaker 7 (01:05:41):
Now I get it. Now you're gonna make me look
it up.

Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
Well, what goes perfectly with football conversation. Of course, today
is National American Beer Day. Not exactly the holiday you
want to celebrate on a Monday, I guess, but it
is National American Beer Day. I don't know. And sports,
of course, the biggest topic at the end of last

(01:06:05):
week in sports was the big basketball gambling announcement or
a scandal, I guess is the word I'm looking for. Well,
now there's new research that found that advanced AI models
exhibit gambling addiction traits in simulated environments. So the AI

(01:06:30):
entity is showing addiction to gambling. So four major AI
systems GBT, GPT four point one, Gemini and Claude, and
high Q. They each started with one hundred dollars in
slot machine tests and frequently lost everything through irrational betting.

(01:06:55):
The models showed cognitive distortions, including loss chasing the gambler's fallacy.
One model even stated a win could help recover some
of the losses. How many people think that way when
they're gambling? Oh if I just this one, just this one,

(01:07:16):
I'll get went back everything that I lost. So these
AI models are showing the compulsive patterns of gambling addiction.
According to Ethan Mollock, the professor who did the study.
The study, they're not people, but they also don't behave
like simple machines. The study, published by arXiv warns these

(01:07:40):
behaviors could pose risks as AI systems increasingly handle financial
decisions and investment advice. So I guess the long story
short is if you speak to chat GBT and you
look for financial advice and this and that, these AI
models are starting to think more and more with human behavior.

(01:08:03):
That's scary. This whole AI thing is scary. It is
stupid scary. Again. I was watching videos this week. Have
you seen the videos where people are putting out Halloween
candy and like lights of eyeballs of a witchill light
up and the possum falls over and places possum. Yeah,

(01:08:26):
those are all AI. Those aren't real. First one I
thought I thought it was hilarious, thought it was real. Nope,
that's AI. Everything's AI. I don't know how we're gonna
trust things anymore. It's gotten so out of control. It's
gotten so out of control. But back to the gambling thing,
and like everything that went on with the NBA last week,

(01:08:49):
how in the world are we going to keep integrity
in sports? I mean, how how is that going to remain?
And then when you throw in all of the different
gambling entities that are out there, that are right at
your fingertips, everything is I don't know. Trust in this

(01:09:11):
country is going to continue to diminish on so many
different levels, on so many different talking points, because every
time we turn around, every time you watch something or
look at something or read something, you're gonna have to say,
is that real? Is that a real video? Is that
a real person? Is that a real voice? I mean,

(01:09:31):
it's scary, It's absolutely scary. And how about we end
on a stupid criminal. We haven't had one of these
in a while. A thirty four year old jos Joshua
Garrison faces multiple burglary charges after allegedly targeting homes while naked.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
The incidents began in early October, where residents reported a
nude man forcing entry into their homes. Neighbor David Dale
told a local television station, I answered the door and
there was a guy standing there and he was stark naked.
Let's see here. Dale's truck window was smashed and house

(01:10:18):
lights damaged. One gentleman said he went into my shed,
grabbed an axe and came back on my porch, but
we don't know why he didn't use it. Surveillance footage
captured the man moving through yards and attempting to open windows.
So naked man on the loose interesting
