Speaker 2 (00:11):
And tick people off.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
The bloom Daddy Experience on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA
starts now.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Seven oh six. Good Thursday morning. That was creepy. Don't
do that again.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
That was weird. Oh, thank you for tuning in kicking
off your morning with us. Of course here on news
radio eleven seventy WWVA. All right, a couple things off
the top here. Want to let you know we're gonna
have your chance to win this morning.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
We have two things today.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Of course it's Thursday, so we have your half gallon
of ice cream from Kirks. We do that on our
text line which is seven zero four seven zero. Start
the message off with bloom Daddy and just need your
name and phone number and that will be your registration
for Kirk's ice cream. Even if it is a little
chili outside, there's nothing better than a perfect ice cream cone,

(01:07):
scoop of ice cream, or save it for Thanksgiving dinner
to go with your pumpkin pie and your apple pie
and everything else. So we have that, and of course
as I said, you just go to our text line
seven zero four seven zero, name and phone number, and
that is your registration. Along with that, we have a
pair of tickets to see Sarah Evans right here at

(01:29):
the Capitol Theater, happening December fifth, kicking off the holiday season.
So we have that coming up a little bit later
in the show. Also, so a couple of things happening.
Otis driving in this morning, so pretty dead on the
highway when it's as early as it is when we
drive in dark, and I see these lights behind me

(01:53):
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like, no, we're in blue. Were they No?

Speaker 4 (01:56):
No, it was just this long, straight line.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Of white lights and I'm like, what is that?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
And it was from a distance, and then it came.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I mean it was.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Moving at quite a high rate of speed and it
flew past me, and I'm like, it was a cyber truck.
This sucker was on fire, like it was flying past me.
But it was like the weirdest thing at five thirty
in the morning to look in my rear view mirror
and all I could see was just this thin line

(02:32):
of lights, And you know how you kind of for me.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I maybe this says a little bit about me and
my way of.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Thinking, I'm like, is that a spaceship coming at me?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Am I having an encounter?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
No? No, it was, uh just a cyber truck. Just
a cyber truck. And I got online because I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
It's an ugly vehicle. It just is. I think it's ugly.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Maybe maybe the resale value is not the best in
the world.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
No, yeah, it's They're just They're an ugly vehicle. So
I got online to see because I wanted to see
pictures of the inside of them. Not great either, but
it also this also came up that Musk has revealed
that they may soon be unveiling a flying car. So
I may not be too far off with what I

(03:29):
saw this morning or what I thought I saw this morning.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
But yeah, that was that was That was interesting.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
And and also you know, when you're half asleep too,
you tend to think that you're seeing things. But no,
I don't know if I would trust a flying car.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Or not. I'm not trusting it, but I think i'd
give it a shot. You think, oh, yeah, well I
want like, hey, it's the Jetsons, baby.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
We were talking about the Jetsons the other day.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Actually, a group of eye and we're talking about AI
and you know, we're going to get to the point where.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
We've been having. They've been talking about flying cars since
the fifties. It's about time, you know, put the word
almost It's almost one hundred years now, so I mean.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let's go put your money where your mouth is. Well,
what was it Back to the future three or two?
Which one is it? Where they go in the future,
actually go in the future? Is it the second one?
The third one is the flopor was like the Wild
Wild West?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
They go back way back in time?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah? I think then't he go to twenty sixteen and
then the Cubs win?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Is it sixteen?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
That's how I was going to ask the year because
there's flying cars, there's flying skateboards. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think what happens was they predicted the Cubs win.
It was just like two years too early or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Is that what it was? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:43):
But in there, I mean they they were already saying
that we would have flying cars. Well, we're way far
behind that. I wonder what it would look like. The
cyber truck, as I said, it's but ugly. So hopefully
Tesla and Elon must come up with a better design.
Than the the look of the cyber truck, because if
they do come up with this flying car. The CEO

(05:06):
also said that the car would hopefully be unveiled in
the next couple months, so we'll see. Maybe maybe he'll
put Santa in it and it's the sleigh.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
He'll have the flying car, the flying sleigh.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
No, okay, you're just kind of looking at me, I figured.
And then also if you are traveling tomorrow morning, keep
an eye for out for this.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
So people as far south as Iowa.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Parts of Pennsylvania, parts of Oregon, parts of Ohio, possibly
parts of West Virginia, all sort of depends, could actually
have a chance to see the northern lights Thursday and Friday.
So the Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G three,
or a strong geomagnetic storm watch Thursday and Friday, with

(06:02):
the highest possibility of seeing the auroras in the US
States bordering Canada. The Space Weather Prediction Center said to
keep an eye out Thursday evening into Friday morning for
the possibility of seeing them. For the best chances of
seeing the lights travel away from of course, big city
lights into an open area when searching for them, so

(06:23):
we're kind of perfect for that. So maybe tomorrow morning
or late tonight driving into work, we might.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Have the chance to see him.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I think the last time that you were able to
see him here in the valley. I went out and looked,
and I didn't see him, But like, there were people
that lived near me, near you know, when I say near,
I mean probably within a mile or so that had
pictures of him on Facebook. And I'm like, where the
hell did you see it? Because I sure didn't.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Oh yeah, that was what like a year ago?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, probably about six months ago, was it that?

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, because I remember everybody going not to know the
same thing. I saw everybody's pictures on Facebook, and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, like you where you live, it would be perfect.
You don't have a whole lot of street lights or
anything like that. I had, Like there's street lights right
outside my house, Like there's there's one on each end
of like I don't want to say my yard, but
because they're on the opposite side of the street. But
there are probably like two houses away from each other,
and it just it ruins unless you go out, unless
I go out on my back porch. But then if

(07:18):
I have to look south, which the northern lights wouldn't
be in the south, so hence northern lights. Yeah, but yeah,
I mean I should be able because if I look
out my back if I go out on my back deck,
I'm looking northeast.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, where I live, it's wide open. We don't have sorry, northwest,
we have maybe we maybe have one or two what
you would call street lights, but other than that, it's
wide open. Our sunsets on my ridge where I live
are gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
And that's was it.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Monday morning. I took a couple of pictures I posted
on our show's Facebook page the the moon that morning
driving into work. I've never seen it look like that before.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
It was a beaver, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
We talked about.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
That off air, we.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Talked where did that even come from? But it was
it was gorgeous.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean it was a Superman.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
So the next the last Superman in December, will have
like a blue It should have a blue tint to it.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
A blue tint.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Really, why I can't, I'm not mister, I'm not Bill
Ny the science guy, and and uh, I didn't stay
at a holiday in express last night, so I have
no idea. Hey, ladies, Hey.

Which I thought were the snickerdoodles.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
And I did I ground up some. I did some
ground beef for tacos, and then I did I cooked
up twelve hamburgers.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
That's a lot of meat for one person.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, the hamburgers had a use by date, so I
had to kill them up.

Hell are they It's like sawdust.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
No, they were a little bland, a little bland for
I mean, I'm sure for a dog. They're probably good
because it's peanut, but they're just not sweet. Let's there's

Speaker 4 (10:41):
And then of course a little bit later in the show,
we have a pair of tickets to Sarah Evans Holiday
Show happening December fifth, So we're gonna have a chance
for you to win that here in a bit.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
You know, we were talking earlier off air I was
showing you something on Facebook. There's a there's a sight
out there. It's called Charlie's Eighties Attic Radio Station.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Oh, this is fun.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
And so what they do is they'll take a so
like this one says records and Cassettes. Forty two years ago,
November fifth, nineteen eighty three, the Police held down the
top spot on the Billboard two hundred album chart for
the fifteenth week with Synchronicity, and it gives you the
top twenty albums from this week in nineteen eighty three,

(11:24):
number two. And I'm like, I'm trying to figure out when.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
So nineteen eighty three, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm trying to forty six weeks on the chart. Wow, okay,
the number two album Thriller.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh, who would have been number one?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
The Police with Synchronicity, Oh okay. And it's in black,
so it's hard to see how Like you can't even
read where it says synchronicity unless you get really but
Michael Jackson was two weeks in a row at number two,
and the Police had been on the Synchronicity album had
only been on the charts for nineteen weeks. So I
just under like Michael Jackson, like I could just worn

(12:02):
Michael Jackson's album came out later than I guess it
would have been eighty two when it came out Thriller. Yeah,
that's when, because I think I was a I think
I was a sophomore in high school when it came out.
I have no idea or you know, or in between
my freshman and sophomore years. But speaking of Michael Jackson,
is that the one.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Where he's laying with the tiger or the tiger cub?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think? So?

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Michael Jackson earned one hundred and five million bucks in
twenty twenty five, making him Forbes his top paid deceased
celebrity for another year.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Even Deady's doing better than us.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
His estate has generated three point five billion dollars since
his two thousand and nine death. Jeez, So when it
comes to a state earnings, it's Michael Jackson, then an
enormous canyon, then everybody else. Most recent earnings came from
selling a fifty percent stake in his music catalog Descending Music,
for six hundred million bucks in twenty twenty four. The

(13:00):
deal included improved royalty terms, despite opposition from his mother,
Jackson's Las Vegas show Michael Jackson won sur passed five
thousand performances this year and runs through twenty thirty Broadways.
MJ the musical his gross nearly three hundred million dollars
worldwide since twenty twenty two.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
I never even heard of it.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I haven't either. And then there's a biopic starring his nephew,
Jafar Jackson that premieres in April of twenty twenty. Six.
Musicians filled ten of the thirteen spots on Forbes's Deceased
celebrity list, including Prince John Lennon and Bob Marley.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Cousin of the music, I'm sure Elvis is up there too. Okay,
I've never heard of the musical. Hey, neither, no idea
that existed. I didn't in the Vegas show, is that
where he's the like the.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hologram that's the word. Yeah, I'm going to assume yes.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
That would be weird.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I have heard that a good hologram show. You don't
even know that they're holograms. Really, I heard that. I
think it was it was a couple months ago. It
was during the summer, but I think we I was
leaving here and Glenn Beck was on and he said
he took his daughter to maybe to see the hologram

(14:19):
Abbas show. Maybe I can't remember what show it was.
His daughter did not know they were holograms. Wow. Wow,
Hold on a second, I'm going to look up because
I mean, if you think about it, I mean, I
would like to see I don't want to pay a
ton of money to go see one.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, oh, there's one for Whitney Houston. I'm trying to
see what other ones that are out there, but.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
There's a there's there's a bunch of them out there.
But I would like to see one, like just as
an experiment. I don't want to I don't want to
maybe sit through a whole show. I would just like
to see maybe like one. I'd just like to see
how it's done. And then, because I I saw Whitney
Houston in concert, there's no way I'm going to watch
a hologram of Whitney Houston. She could sing. She was

(15:05):
not an entertainer, she.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Was just boring.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
She was I mean, I saw her at that what
was then the WU Coliseum because now it's Hope Colisseum.
But I saw her. I was in I think I
was in college and she basically just stood on the
stage and sang. There's artists to do that, I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
And you can appreciate the vocal talent, but you also
want to be entertaining who's.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
The who's the Who's the country singer that has the
real deep voice. He's an actor too.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
And oh Tim mc graw, no.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh, he does. He does the commercials for Wounded Warrior.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Oh oh, I can see his face.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I can't think anyway. I saw him at Jambourine and
the Hills and he just stood there and like, I
mean like there, like you have to move around a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Maybe well zz talk were the same thing at Jamberine
the Hill. I mean they stood there and their beards
more moved more than they did just because of the
breeze on the stage. But yes, Tupac has a hologram
out there.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Okay, not one I'm going to see either, MJ.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
I don't know Roy Orbison, I.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Would go see that one. It's Roy probably doesn't entertain
much either.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
There's Abba Abbas one of them.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I think that's I think that's what Glenn Beck said
that he took his daughter too, and his daughter did
not know that they were holograms.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
What if the hologram can, for MJ, can move as
good as he did.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I'm sure, I mean because they it's it's video footage
and they incorporated into a three D hologram. I don't
know how. I don't know the technology how to do it.
But can you?

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
But here's the thing. I mean, if you, if you
think about it now, these artists don't have to go
out on tour anymore. They can just send a hologram
out and they can make money doing nothing.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Well yeah, yeah, you could do save a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
They make the money we don't. But the fans aren't
saving any money because I'm sure it's not cheap to go.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
No, I meant the artist, Yeah, no, I mean just
gas mileage alone. What you would say, Oh, seven twenty eight,
you're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
We are rolling right along on this Thursday.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
It's seven thirty six, the bloom Daddy Experience here on
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA, staying along sort of the
lines of technology. So, first of all, we were talking
before the break. We're talking about hologram concerts. If you've
actually seen one one, yeah, call us one eight hundred
and six two eleven seventy or textas seven zero four

(17:53):
seven zero starts the message off with bloom daddy, you
know what celebrity or deceased celebrity you've seen and what
was that like?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Was it really well, like ABA's not deceased. They just
didn't tour anymore, that right, nobody in ABBA's deceased. So
just I was thinking MJ and Whitney and yeah, I mean,
I mean, but that in Roy Orbison, I mean it's
a way for those the states to continue in. I mean,
like I've never had the opportunity to see Roy Orbison,

(18:23):
so like that would be one that I would consider,
just because of the rock and Roll Hall of Fame tie,
the the history of the music in just the fact
of the influence that that that he had on other artists.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Elvis, that would be the one I us.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't mind seeing Elvis. I don't
want to see fat Elvis. I want to see like
sixty eight Elvis.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Oh yeah, I want to Yeah, I want to see
young hot gyrating Elvis.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't want to go back that far. I mean,
I want I want to go back to like the
sixty eight comeback concert. That would be pretty cool, that
that era. Yet I don't want to see like seventy
five fat Elvis where he that was Vegas.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Right, Yeah, that's not with the white jump suit and
the chest hair.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yet, No, I don't want that.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Elvis the big old like the wrestling belt. Hey, not
only was Elvis the king of rock and roll, he
was he was champion.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
It's really it's strange. I don't know why Elvis fascinates me,
but he does. For some reason, anything that cut, like
any documentary, any film. I watch everything on Elvis.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's not even remotely close to my generation. My parents
never talked about Elvis, like there's just something about the
tone of his voice, his songs. I just he fascinates me.
I'd love to see his hologram.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
But I think I think for Elvis. I think for Elvis.
When you hear to the older generation of rock and rollers,
you know, and I'm talking like the Stones and Paul
McCartney and Springsteen, and there's so many of them out

(20:15):
there that it all goes back to Elvis being on
Ed Sullivan and when they saw that, that just changed everything.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Oh it changed culture.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, and you know and they all say what an
influence that performance was. And and and then the Beatles
followed it up, you know how many years later, like
in sixty two or whatever, and you know, again another
music changing moment, and it's just you think back and

(20:52):
you know, like Ed Sullivan at the time was the
only way that you got to see you know, you
saw that, Yeah, as a kid of the eighties, as
an extra. I mean, we grew up with that. I
mean we had MTV and you look back and like
you look back at the bands of the seventies and
then they started making videos and you're going, oh my god,

(21:13):
these dudes are flipping ugly, you know, or like and
then you had like Duran Durant come in and they're
like all these good looking dudes and you know what
I mean. Or you had Sheena Easton you got to
see her, or you know whoever it was, Oh yeah,
Mick Jagger so like, but you would see the sometimes

(21:37):
the beauty outweighed the music.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
The talent.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Yeah yeah, well the term face for radio, yeah, well,
but it doesn't just apply to us. It applies to
the Stephen Tyler's of the world and the Mick Jaggers.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
And yeah, but you know, I mean when it comes
to Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger didn't have any problem
with the ladies.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
I understand that.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
But if they were not.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Who they were, right, yeah, I mean like if they
were accountants, yes, yeah, yes.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
No offense to accountant or bankers.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Librarian, banker, school teacher or whatever. I mean, they're not
pulling in the magic.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
You no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's yeah, it's exactly that. It's face for radio.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
It just doesn't it just doesn't match up. But yeah,
there was when when Elvis was on Sullivan A.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Then they were only shooting from the waist up.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Oh well yeah, a switch of a switch was flipped culturally,
oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
And and you saw young females.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Like well even the even the dudes were like, I
want to be Elvis, but.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
From a right But what I'm saying is from like
a marketing perspective and who you appealed to, whether you're
a musician or TV show. That moment when those women,
those young women exploded, that's when you went, wait.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
A second, there's something going on here.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
There's a whole lot of money to be made right
here off off of these screaming females.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
And and you know, look at.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Where we are today.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
And I mean, and you think you think back, I mean,
like Elvis, And I could be wrong on this, but
you know, Elvis didn't write a lot of his own music.
He you know, he performed other people's music. But you
look at somebody like Buddy Holly, who wrote his own music,
but his career was cut so short because of the
plane accident, Like would Buddy Holly have been bigger than Elvis?

(23:33):
Is the question? And I don't I mean talent why,
I mean, I don't because they were two different Like, yeah,
I think Elvis was an entertainer.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
That's what I was gonna say. There's an there's an
entertainer and a performer in Elvis. There's a musician and
an artist in Buddy Holly.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, I agree with that. And Roy Orbison was the
same way. You know, I mean they but yeah, I
just there's so many you know, growing up, like for me,
the only time you saw bands was like on American
Bandstand and they normally lip synced. And if you if
like they didn't just they that was like they played

(24:10):
dance music. So I mean you could have seen them
on Soul Train, Okay, Solid Gold was that, Yeah, but
they didn't really have artists to come out.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I mean I remember watching it, but it was more
about the dancers and they would play they like they
would do a Top twenty countdown.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
I remember bits and pieces of it.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
And then but you would like in the seventies, there
was a late night show called The Midnight Special that
would come on and they would have like all kinds
of different bands, so like they would have Linda Ron's dad,
the Eagles, and then they would have like Ted Nugent,
and you know, that was the only time you got
to or Saturday Night Live. You know, you got to
see them. You got to see bands there. But I

(24:52):
mean in the seventies, your your access to see to
visualize you know, Johnny Carson, you see him on the
Tonight Show. But to actually see bands or artists, that's
that's that was your only you know, or they might
be on a on a variety show like like a
Donny Marie or caraber Dad or something of that nature,

(25:14):
or if.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
They were in your area to see a concert.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yea. Other than that, yeah, I mean visually, you didn't
see artists of the seventies unless you saw him in
concert or they were on some sort of a TV
show for a promotional gig. And you know, just I
mean the Midnight Special if you go back, and like
that was a pretty great Don Kirshner did that. He
did like Don Kershner's Rock Concert too. He was a

(25:38):
big rock and roll type producer, but he took the
music and put it to TV and that was kind
of like one of those things where groundbreaking, so to speak,
you know. So, I mean he but he would they
would have bands come on at you know, like I
can't remember what night it was, but it was I

(26:00):
think it was on Friday nights and then like it
would be an hour and a half and there would
be like five or six different bands and they would
normally do like two songs each, not back to back.
They would do one, and I think they were all
in different but I could just remember that the name
of the band or the artist was always in lights
behind them, okay, you know, and it was like it
was like in a little script or whatever.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
What essential seventies.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Unless they had a logo like so like they like
Kiss headers and I think Triumph headers, and I mean
there were just different. If you go back and Google
or go on YouTube and see Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
or the Midnight Special, they're they're pretty, it's pretty neat. Well,
I mean it's pretty. It's basic as hell. I mean

(26:43):
it's just basically simplicity.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, but if you think about it, back to the
Ed Sullivan real quick in the elvis, those networking executives
that freaked out with the gyrating pelvis.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
They're rolling over in. Yes, she came out out and
what she's wearing a bra? That's it, that's pierced.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Huh yeah, yeah, they would have a heart attack on
the spot.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I can see her whole but cheeks.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
What was the Janet Jackson Super Bowl? What did they
call it?

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Malfunction?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Wardrobe malfunction. When Booby came out.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
They'd be dropping dead. Seven forty six. You're listening to

And then coming up here a little bit later in
the show, we're gonna have a pair of tickets to
see Sarah Evans coming December fifth, right here to the
Capitol Theater. Perfect way to uh kick off your holiday,
your holiday spirit. So we've kind of been all over
the place this morning. Otis talking about uh technology, right,
so we got into holograms. We've mentioned AI a little bit.

(28:20):
We're all you know, I have cars, flying cars. Yeah,
every time you turn around, there's like something new, which,
by the way, I'll be honest, I've kind of started
dabbling a little bit in the AI stuff, with the chat,
GBT and and all of that.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
It is wild. It is wild.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
And what I have found myself doing when I ask
it to do something I say, I have actually said
thank you or take your time, like I'm talking to
a person. It's so bizarre. And then I'm like, this
isn't a human.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I haven't ventured into that realm yet. I mean, like
I'll get a like when you do a Google a
Google shirt shirt.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
When you ask the Google something like I mean, or.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Type it, you know, you type it in, it'll give
you an AI response. Oh yeah, but it's not. It's not.
It's just typed out, you know. That's that's my extent
of my AI so far.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Well, like on our email through Microsoft that it's called
co pilot and I'll type out an email and then
I'll say, you know, clean this up or make this
sound more professional or.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
You know what I mean, and it does it like that.
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
But I was talking to somebody yesterday and You're gonna
love this. It says to me, have you ever watched
Hogan's Heroes?

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Absolutely, I've got I've got a Pluto channel that is
dedicated nothing but Hogan's Heroes, right, And I.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Said, no, I have not seen Hogan's Heroes. I've seen
bits and pieces. Otis watches it, YadA, YadA, YadA. Well,
I guess with.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
This with AI.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
For some reason, this person I was talking to said,
create an episode of Hogan's Heroes today, and it created
an entire script with all of the characters and everything
for Hogan's heroes set in this day and age, and
said it was absolutely hilarious, hilarious. Now I don't know

(30:23):
the characters. I can't repeat everything that what he said
to me. But I'm like, so I think this weekend,
I'm going to play around with it, and I'm going
to do like, you know, put the Golden Girls today,
like do an entire like. And I said to him,
I said, we're.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
You are young when the Golden Girls is your reference.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
But I said to him, I said, where did this
see where? Why did you even think to do this?

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Is I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
I was just screwing around with AI and wanted to
see how far or how much it could accomplish. And
he actually sent the script to his dad, and he
said his dad was rolling. He had tears in his eyes.
He was laughing at it was that good.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I got to introduce to and heroes by my dad.
And when it when I when he was watching it,
like I didn't think. I didn't I was I was young,
so I didn't get most of it, you know. I
mean when I say I was young, like I had
no concept of the Second World War or you know,
anything like that. I mean, so, I mean I'm looking
at it in the same thing with Mash, Like I
didn't think it was funny like the first couple episodes.

(31:21):
I mean, because my dad would watch it and he'd
you know, he'd be there laughing, and I'm like, this
is not funny. And now I'm like, oh my god,
this is one of the greatest shows, you know. I mean,
I mean, it took me ten years to figure it out,
or maybe eight years to figure it out. When I
was in junior high I finally started to appreciate Mash yeah,

(31:43):
you know, and the humor. I was getting it because
now I've got a reference on certain things, so you.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Understand the joke, right, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
But saying along the lines of technology, Tom Brady's in
the game a little bit. He so he recently announced
that his dog Juni, is a clone of his previous
dog Lua, who actually passed away in December of twenty
twenty three.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
So the retired quarterback worked.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
With a company called Colossal Biosciences. Biosciences, which is a
biotech company that he invests in. What they did was
they cloned the pitbull mix using blood collected before the
original dog's death, he said, I love my animals. They
mean the world to me and my family. A few

(32:32):
years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non
invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our
family's elderly dog.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
He's cloned himself. That's what he's This is a prerec that's.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
The goal of this. Okay, before she passed?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Is it gonna have the same personality?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Though it may look the.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Same, but it's not the same dog. That's what makes
your pets unique is their personality, I think.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
But I think that then if it's the same DNA,
then it should have most of the same I would
have to assume they would have to have most of
the same personality.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I mean, it's dogs are funny because I mean it's
all how you train them too.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah, well he's not the first to do it. They've
also cloned dogs for barbar Streisand and Paris Hilton.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Would you get your dogs cloned? Yes, you would.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
If I had the money. I can't even imagine how.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Much would you spend to do it, Like, if it's
more than a couple hundred bucks, I'm out.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
If I was rich, I would spend six figures on it.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Really, Yeah, if I had.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
The money to burn heck, yeah, if I was a
Tom Brady, yeah, I would do it.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I mean I.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Wouldn't do it for the two dogs I have now,
but I would have done it for my first like
by the first dog that was ever mine, which would
have been my Golden Retriever mix from the eighties that
was blind hit by a car twice in every I mean,
this dog had everything wrong with him, but he was
like the best dog ever.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Oh so, but I think I think you're onto the
actual right reason is he's eventually going to clone himself.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Wins another six he wants another six rings.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Oh shoot, that's funny. Could you imagine if we start
cloning people?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, I can imagine it's not gonna be good.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
No, no, because we'll probably clone somebody like Joe Biden
or Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Seven fifty eight.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
When we get back, we're talking holiday stuff that's coming

Speaker 4 (37:07):
This spark come from?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Like?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Whose idea was it? Who you're going to give credit to?

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Well, it's a group. It's a group. We recorded some
Christmas music several years ago, and then the following year
we said, wow, let's get out and have a Christmas concert.
So we started in some area churches and began to
grow and grow and grow and were invited here to

(37:33):
the Capital Theater. Kind of like a homecoming for many
of us.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Well, and uh, Dan and Rhianne right, okay, Rhanne, And
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to didn't mean to
butcher it. So, you know, father daughter, this is a
family event, not only a family event, but it's going
to be a family event on the stage too.

Speaker 8 (37:54):
Well. Like Joan said, you know, it's a homecoming, coming
back to.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
The beautiful Capital Theater.

Speaker 8 (37:59):
And to be able to do that with not only
our band family, but also our true biological family is
just so amazing. And when you get to share something
that's important as not only spreading the word, but music,
which is in all of our blood, you know, it
becomes something just more than a show. It becomes very
very intimate, very very special, and we are so looking

(38:22):
forward to it.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
And there's a lot put it. I mean, there's a
lot of work put into this. You know, once you
hit the stage, it's amazing that you get to entertain everybody.
But there's a lot of behind the scenes planning and practicing,
and that's going to be part of what makes this
into a family group event. All the work and hours
that you spend together we have.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
In fact, this year, we've been in the studio recording
new music, deciding the theme of different tunes that we'll do,
and we are putting a focus on family this year,
and so we are incorporating our family members that are
so super talented into the show. We have Tristan Smith,

(39:07):
who is Chad Smith's son, who will be joining us.
He and his wife Madison are an act out of
Nashville and they'll be joining us as well. So I
know they're very excited about being here. Yes, what is
it going to be like?

Speaker 4 (39:20):
So, so give us a rundown of all of the
High Valley musical talent that people can plan to see
coming to the show again, happening December sixth, right here
at the Capitol Theater. So let us know what what
to expect.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Well, we have some some former Jamboree band members. We

Directors, multitalented the medical director and and with with rihann
And here we've got no offense. We got youth in
the house. So to see the growth of the music,
the musical aspect in the youth has got to be refreshing.
What can we expect out of you that night? Hopefully

(40:12):
singing okay, staying healthy and speaking of the singing, so
are we going to be doing the of course, the
classics that everybody expects with Christmas, and then you mentioned
being in the studio and then some new stuff. Is
it going to be a mixture.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
There will be a great mixture. There'll be band production,
musical solos, duets, father daughter, father son, traditional Christmas music,
classic Christmas music, contemporary Christmas music, so something for everybody.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Yes, yes, Now looking at the rundown of the performers,

Speaker 3 (47:37):
But there's there's a not something else.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
There's a twenty eight year old postal worker. He's from Biloxi, Mississippi,
and he's getting a lot of backlash after he admitted
that he took money from his four year old son's
savings account for what well If. He appeared on the
October twenty ninth episode of Financial Audit. It's a podcast

(48:00):
where he revealed that he rated his child's account containing
anywhere between eight and ten grand. He used it to
pay off credit card debt from family vacations to Disney
World and the Bahamas.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Also, it was it was flipp It wasn't okay, god.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Oh, he said. I figured I valued building memories with
him and taking him on experiences. It was worth it.
He called to withdrawal a zero percent loan and added,
I figured he's three four now, he won't know. The
money included gifts from friends and relatives intended for the
child's future.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
That's what I was going to ask you, is where
did this money?

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (48:36):
So he made the decision without his wife's permission. Oh,
she doesn't approve, and recently rejoining the military to help
pay off their ninety thousand dollars debt. You're twenty eight
years old and ninety thousand dollars in debt. Whoa you
are in I mean, unless you have a great job,

(48:56):
you are in trouble.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Ooh. Well, first of all, you ask your wife before
you withdraw money from a savings account, whether it's your
kids or not.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Second of all, you ask if she's a part of it.
Because here's the thing, Like, there have been accounts set
up for my kids that my ex wife wasn't involved in.
Mm hmm, So like it was me and you know
some you know, my mom was putting money in these accounts.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. But if you're in
a marriage, you you do not make large financial decisions,
whether it's withdrawing or spending or whatever, you without speaking
with your spouse. I'm sorry, let alone money that family
members have has given your child to set them up.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
For a good future.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Well, I can say this. So my two boys had
savings accounts at the same bank that I did. Now,
my wife didn't have an account. It's a credit Union, okay,
and it was money that my mom had put into
the like she had X amount of money withdrawn from
her paycheck to put into the boys accounts. So there
was one time when I owned my own business and

(50:04):
I had a big order coming in, and so what
happened was the the net thirty came up before the
order was due, I mean before the people paid for
the order. So in other words, I had to buy
the supplies and pay for him before I got paid
for the order. So what happened was I had to
borrow it was it was a minimal amount. In reality,

(50:28):
it was like five hundred dollars from each I took
five hundred from each of their accounts, and then once
I got paid from the person that placed the order,
then I put that five hundred dollars back in. So
I mean it was like a short term two week loan.
I didn't do, you know, but because I didn't have
the money because there was a slow time of the
year and not a lot of generated money. So I

(50:50):
had to kind of rob Peter to pay Paul as
they said, well.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Okay, so and I get with this father saying, you know,
he wants to create memories Yetta. But you can eight
memories without dropping five or eight thousand dollars on a
trip taking fishing.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
I mean, and at three or four, why are you
taking the Disney World.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
They're not gonna remember, they're not gonna remember.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Yeah, you don't make huge financial decisions like that without
speaking to the spouse. And obviously they're not good with
money anyways.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
If they're ninety thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
It doesn't sound like they're Especially he's not good with money,
and he's opposed to worker. I mean, so, I mean
he's not he's making halfway decent money, let's put it
that way. I mean, it's not like he's making minimum
way right.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
But no, I don't agree with.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Ninety thousand dollars in debt at twenty eight, at twenty
eight or twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
I wonder if they own a rent too. I don't know. Yikes,
eight twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
But you know what, we're gonna let you make some memories.

Allow me to brag on my wife, Lauren Sanchez. Not
only is she a smoke sir of a babe and
a veteran astronaut, she's added another arrow to her quipper

other singles in our circle of friends, like Bill Gates,

(55:27):
Why Dayton. Lauren Sanchez will give you one hundred and
fifty two billion reasons why and her bro No I know,
I know she's with Stedman, but you know her true
love is Gail Kine.

Yeah, stay tuned on that one.

Speaker 11 (55:43):
And finally, the biggest matchmaking challenge of all, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Lauren knows the kind of gal Leo prefers, so at
this moment, she's putting up flyers in college dormitories.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Creep creepy. I'm surprised you went to college. Didn't say
put it on a high school.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
I loved Leonardo DiCaprio back in the day God Titanic.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
Ugh, love that movie.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Something about that character Jack, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Oh, calm down, sorry, focus, I did.

Speaker 4 (56:23):

for the power Ball, so that jumps up to four

(56:45):
hundred and sixty seven million dollars with a cash option
of two hundred and twenty one million dollars. And then
there's the Mega Millions with an estimated eight hundred and
forty three million dollar up for grabs. Now that drawing
is on Friday, go get.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Us some tickets off.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
I wanted to say, anybody out there, we were just
talking about this weird combination that Kraft is doing for
mac and cheese.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
If you happen to see it, let us know.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
Yees, so we know where to go, So we know
where to go and to buy it, because we're obviously,
as he said, we're going to make it. We're gonna
try it. We've just got to find it. So if
you see it out there, let us know where to
where to get it.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Hey, just want to let you know that the Pens
are back on the ice tonight. They're facing off against
Alex Avechkin and the Caps at home. Pittsburgh has dropped
back to back games following a recent loss to the
Maple Leafs, and you can catch the Pens and Caps
tonight on our sister station, Eagle one O seven to five.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
Didn't Avechkin just hit his nine hundredth goal.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Last night.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Last night? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe hold on. But
while you're looking that up, the Nailers. They take their
four to oho to one record to Greensboro this weekend
for a three game series that starts tonight. The puck
drops at seven pm tonight, Tomorrow and Saturday, and since
they're on the road, the best way to catch your
Nailors fix is to tune into all three games on
our sister station, Mixed ninety seven three.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
I am correct, I got a hockey thing correct. So
Avechkin had a backhand for his nine hundredth career goal,
becoming the first NHL player in history to hit that mark.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
You know the thing about the Pens and the Caps,
like Avechkin and Sydney Crosby have had like this back
and forth, and when they first started, they were I
don't think I mean, I think there was respect, but
I don't think they liked each other. And now there's like,
I think the respect has grown into a friendship. It's
kind of like it's a junior version of the Magic

(58:46):
Bird thing. Okay, you know, Magic and Bird played against
these to other for so long they were teammates. I thinking,
like either right out of high school on an under
twenty USA team or an under eighteen US eighteen. Then
they faced off against each other in the in the
National Championship game in college, and then of course back
and forth with the Celtics and the Lakers. And while

(59:10):
they respected each other, like Larry, Larry just didn't like
anybody if you were his. It's not that he didn't
like you, but he just he wanted to be the best.
And so like Magic was like his. He said, whatever
Magic did, he either had to be better than or
you know, had to be equal to or better then

(59:32):
and it created that rivalry. And you know, I heard
of Boston sports writer say one time that Larry Bird
and Magic Johnson are in this fraternity and they're the
only two members. Yeah, and but if you if you
like now, they're I mean they're there, they've always been.

(59:53):
Now they're very very good friends. But when like Larry
just said, you know, when I compete, you just you're not.
Because it started in high school he said, I just
was I didn't want to be your friend. I wanted
to bury you.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
Well, isn't that sports? I mean, it's very I've always
said this, it's very odd to me from a from
a female point of view. Like boxers, for example, or
MMA fighters, they can go into the ring and beat
the absolute snot out of one another and look like

(01:00:24):
they they absolutely hate one another. Step out of the ring,
and it's like they're long term friends.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Well, it's a dichotomy that men have that I don't
think women can comprehend. Like if a woman doesn't like you,
like women, if they don't like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Each other, well, I think I think in sports, the
shrinking of the world with the Internet and everything else,
I think that has changed sports because like you look
at let's say Lebron James. He wants to bring the
people that he knows and wants to play with, and
you can do that. So he just talks to him

(01:01:01):
and says, hey, let's go. And they may have been
on rival teams or whatever, but he wants to play
with that person or you know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Well that's how he ended up at the heat.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Right, Yeah, you know.

Speaker 10 (01:01:11):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I mean it's like you don't have that killer attitude anymore,
like like Pete Rose had it, Like he didn't. You
were not his Like if you were his teammate in
the All Star Game, then fine that I'm your teammate
for today and we're going to go out and kick
your end. But tomorrow or the next day, when we're
playing against each other in that three game series, I'm

(01:01:32):
going to bury you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Well, but that's the sports, but just men in general.
Even take the sports.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Out of it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
You guys can get in a fistfight again, beat the
snot out of each other, and then the next day
you can be hanging out drinking a beer together around.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
A camp by you beer because you know it's all
said and done yet. Yeah, women, we just yeah, you
well trust me.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
We're evil.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
We can be evil.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Oh yeah, because you remember something small from like thirty
years ago that didn't have really any significance whatsoever. But
yet you're gonna throw it back in my face.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
But if we run into you at some sort of event, man,
we how you doing? Oh yeah, we can turn it
on forty six. You're listening to the Blue Daddy Experience
here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Hey fifty one,

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
But it's always fair.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
The deals are always fair at strab Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:03:25):
And you know what sometimes what's not fair? Uh, it's
getting your credit tonight, Okay. I mean, you know there's
a lot of folks out there, you know that have
had bankruptcies and they have less than perfect credit. You
have gone through divorce, you know, they have student loans
that they got behind on and whether they had you know,
repossession or you know, there's just so many things that

(01:03:48):
can affect you know, your credit score, and that could
cause you to not be able to get an automobile right.

Speaker 8 (01:03:54):
Well.

Speaker 12 (01:03:54):
Stribe Automotive Group has a program out there for everyone right.
We have guaranteed credit approval through one of our great lenders,
and you know we've also got you know, multiple sources
out there that are very lenient when it comes to
you know, looking at the person rather than the score.
And you know, we do our very very best to

(01:04:17):
make sure that everyone has an opportunity to get an automobile.
So how's that prepare that's fair.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
And you make it easy? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
So yeah, So for first timers, Okay, so you're a
young adult, you're buying your first car without mom and
dad's help, and you're going through the process. Sometimes a
lot of the you know, you get overwhelmed by hearing
the interest rates and getting the loans and all that
kind of stuff. You have the guys in house to
make that process understandable, right.

Speaker 12 (01:04:47):
Very understandable, extremely transparent. You know, we take our time,
you know, because I mean this is this is the
second largest purchase that most people are ever going to make,
you know, the first one being your home. And with
those interest rates coming down on you know, these payments
are getting more and more affordable every day. Uh. And
for that first time buyer, you know, we we do
we take our time. You know, we show them exactly.

(01:05:08):
You know what it takes to put them behind the
wheel of a new automobile. Uh. And again we make
it easy for everybody, no matter what your situation. So
fun out this weekend and see for yourself how easy
it is to buy an automobile from the drib bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
For the most part, it is easy.

Speaker 12 (01:05:27):
Well for most people it is. But then there's people.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Like otis still waiting on my gas card. You know
what's in the.

Speaker 12 (01:05:38):
Mail you keep you keep standing by that mailbox.

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
You're taking me to lunch today? Hell no, it's National
Nacho Day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
That's not lunch. Well, I guess it could be if
you get the loaded notacho.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
I've been staring at that all morning, that it's National
Nacho Day, and like now I want nanchos for no
good reason, which is terrible for me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
I'm not Joe taking you to lunch.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Ha ha oh it's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
I'm not your man to take you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
To lunch, but it's men make dinner day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Well I'm not your man either.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Well that's true. You're my second, you're my backup.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Wow. You know what I like? It's International Stout Day.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
That's like a Guinness.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, nice, good old fashioned Guinness. Right now. Not right now,
it's nine o'clock in the morning. But if I was
in Ireland, Yeah, at nine o'clock in the morning, I
could fire one down.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
And this time of year, my husband loves a good Guinness.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Like I don't know what this is good anytime of
the year.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
He loves it in the in the fall, in the way.
I don't know why. But what were you gonna say?
I'm sorry I interrupted you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
I wasn't going to say anything other than Guinness. Is
they have signs out there that says Guinness is good
for you? Do they? Yeah, that's one of That was
one of their marketing campaigns at one point in time.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
There's some sort of it. I haven't watched it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
There's some I don't know if it's a movie or
series on Netflix about the Guinness.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Somebody told me about that. I had again, I made
my own Guinness shirt one time, and so I think
I wore to Cardio drumming and somebody said to me, Hey,
he said, do you have Netflix, because there's a there's
a story on there about the making of Guinness.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
Or it's like the Suns they fight out. I think
it's like the suns fight over like control when the
dad passes, or like it's it has to do with
the lineage and control the brewery and all.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
I've been around for like two hundred years.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
Oh, this is set back and you know they're hauling
the barrels bike.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
I want to say, like a horse and blagon. It's
on it's on the can. But I think it's like
seventeen fifty nine might be earlier than that.

Speaker 12 (01:07:57):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
And see I've been to the hontingcom Brewery in Amsterdam. Well,
the original brewery. They've since moved to a bigger building.
So this building is basically just for tours and it's
almost like a museum. Yeah, but the Guinness Brewery, that
would be one that I would definitely want to. I mean,

(01:08:18):
that's like a that's a bucket list item, and that's.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
The one that has the little harp. No no, no, Guinness
is the one that has the in the can.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
The little has the ball, it's nitro ball.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Yeah, what does that do?

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
It releases? So, in other words, most cans are under
pressure from CO two. Yeah, Guinness isn't the go. That's
why when you see it on tap, it's always in
a different tap and it's normally always at the end
because it's actually a it's it's a it's not CO two.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
It's nitrogen, okay, So it's a completely different system's right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
So it's a different gas that comes in. And so
when that little ball when you open the can, it
release is the nitrogen into the can. So it gives
you almost like the it's almost draft like quality when
you pour it. Because then when you pour the Guinness can,
you're supposed to turn it completely upside down and pour
it into your glass and let it film up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
See I'm not a beer fishonado.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Hey, before we sign off, give me a number one
through eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Fourteen.

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
Okay, Melissa, Melissa is our winner of the ice cream. Melissa,
I will give you a call after the show. Everybody,
have a good Thursday. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
