The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam November 25, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The number one TUK show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Big story nationally.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
A federal judge dismissing the criminal cases against former FBI
Director James Comy and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
I want to go out to Los Angeles right now,
Royal Oaks, ABC News legal analyst joining us Royal.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Are you surprised by this?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Well, it really isn't the surprise because there are so
many questions about the so called interim US attorney. So
the deal is, if you're a US attorney, the federal
prosecutor that could be confirmed by the Senate, unless you're
only in there for one hundred and twenty days, then
you can be an interim one. This judge concluded that
the interim US Attorney had gone past her one hundred

(01:06):
and twenty days when she issued the indictments or when
she sought the indictments and that's why they were flawed.
But the good news of the Trump administration is the
judge said, well, you can try again, you can try
to refile, and you can follow the rules. So that's
very likely what the DOJ is going to do.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So people shouldn't read into this as in, there's nothing
against Comy, there's nothing against James.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
This is just a technicality that got it DISCOSSI.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah, you're right, is to James. Now here's the weird
twist with respect to James Comy. The judge actually commented
that she thinks that maybe the case is dead against
Comby because the government blew the statute of limitations. We
were thinking that the government would have maybe five days
to rush around get it no indictment, file a new complaint.

(01:54):
But this judge, if you read between the lines and
the complaint, it suggests she thinks that maybe the statute
has already gone and there's no way to get it back.
So more to follow on that. It's it's a weird
The statutes are kind of unclear. If you thought your
VCR repair manuals unclear back in the day, you should
read these statutes sometimes. And Colly's lawyers didn't even argue

(02:17):
that the whole thing should never come back because of
the statute of limitations. It's that peculiar. So more to come,
but it's definitely good news at least temporarily for James
and call me, but the Trump administration will live to
fight another.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Day, all right, Royal, thanks for the insight, you bet,
Royal Oaks, ABC News legal analysts from Los Angeles spring
on Jim or Nacy bloom Daddy Show political analysts Former
Congressman Jim It seems like every time we see indictments
like this, people get all fired up and they think,
oh man, you know, here we go, and it's always
some judge, whether it's a technicality or a judge appointed

(02:53):
by the opposite party president, it dismisses these things.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well Boomdetti again, thanks for having me on. But what's
interesting about this. It's the same judge that threw the
Jack Smith case out. So this was a very very
sloppy thing done by the Trump administration because he already
knew that. This same judge said that Jack Smith was
never appointed by the Senate. So this same judge threw

(03:24):
Jack Smith case out against Donald Trump. So what Donald
Trump do, he goes and does the exact same thing
with an individual who has not been appointed either. So
both prosecutors were unlawfully appointed, is what the judge is saying.
But I think President Trump needs to look back and say,
wait a minute, I actually got this in my favor

(03:47):
when they threw jack Smith's case out against me.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
How can prosecutors at that level be that sloppy?

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, I think it was. In both cases they had
a goal. Jacksmith's goal was to prosecute Trump. There was
a goal here to get Tony and by the way,
your previous person you spoke with there was they had
to get this done by Monday, because I'm talking about
on Kobe, because on Tuesday the Statute of Limitations ran out.

(04:19):
So they actually did brush this thing and try and
get it done. So I think the Statute of Limitations
although not argued, and I'm not sure they would have
argued because I think they got it filed one day
before the Statute of Limitations ran out. I think the
Statute of Limitation case now will cause a problem for
President Trump to refile this case.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
All right, Jim, as a former congressman, you were tight
with Trump. What the hell did we watch on Friday?
Tell me sum up what we witnessed on Friday. Marjorie
Taylor Green, who's been nuts from day one. Trump loved
her when she was doing everything he wanted her to do,
stands up to him over the Epstein files and a

(04:59):
couple of other things. He totally goes scorched to thought
or just like you did. Rod Desantus, another long time support.
And at the same time he's breaking bread with incoming
New York City mayor Zo round Man Donnie whom he's
called every name in the book and vice versa.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
What are pigs flying? His health rosen over? What is
going on?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Well, I'll tell you if you look back at the history,
if you do cross President Trump in any way, he
does Tashu, his former Secretary of State gone. I mean
some people, even Vice President Pence, who, by the way,
I know there are a lot of people who listen
to your show might not like Vice President Pence. But

(05:43):
up to the day on January sixth, when he did
not agree to do what President Trump wanted him to do,
he President Trump thought he was the greatest vice president ever.
He's stuck by him. He did everything for him and
he's gone as well too, So it doesn't take much
for President Trump to toss you out of the way.
And Marjorie Taya Green did cross him. He's not happy

(06:06):
with her. But I have to admit what I saw
in the O Office, I thought the exact same thing too.
Here's two people that basically called each other everything but
an elected official. And yet but this is what President
Trump does best. He loves the showmanship. He loved the spotlight,
and he loved the opportunity to bring a guy in

(06:28):
who they have battled verbally for the last six or
seven months, bring him in and stand next to him
and talk with him. That's what President Trump does best,
in the sense that he likes that ability to present
and have that show and have people watch and have
people question. I believe that's all it really was, because

(06:49):
I have to believe that as soon as he walked
out of the Oval Office, President Trump is probably saying,
I'm never going to do anything with this guy.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Okay, but what are the ramifications of his actions? Because
over the week I talked to a number of buddies
who are hardcore maga like Trump could do. I always
use this example. He could beat up a kid in
a wheelchair, a ten year old, and my buddies would
make every excuse in a book for him, and they
are pissed right now.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
They don't know what to think.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Of him, like they're upset with the way he's treated
Green in with him meeting with Mandani. So what are
the ramifications of his actions?

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Well, look, and we've talked about this. I think right now,
President Trump his solid base as Republicans. I saw a
I actually saw a poll today that showed that President
Trump still has eighty seven percent of the support of
Republicans of republicans that and that's the same number support
he had back in November of Republicans. So that's strong.

(07:49):
That means he's still holding on to your buddies and
my buddies who are absolute maga people. But he's going
to these situations will break that and there will be
people starting to walk away. The problem President Trump has,
and we've talked about this independence He's got a thirty
percent approval ratings, seventy percent are not happy with him,

(08:12):
and of course ninety five percent of Democrats. So he
needs to hold that eighty seven percent, and his actions
on Friday does weaken that eighty seven percent. I think
that will be the issue a long time.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Tia Jim an Acy Bloomday Show political analyst, former congressman.
I'm I'm gonna leave you with this if you were
a betting man. By the time he walks out of
that office, is he going to leave the Republican Party
in ashes?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Or is he going to leave it in a better
spot than it was?

Speaker 5 (08:40):
For that's interesting. I don't think the you know so,
I talked to a lot of my friends today. Look,
the Party of Reagan and the Conservative Party is long gone,
and the question is what comes about after President Trump
walks out Because right now it is the Party of

(09:00):
it is the Maga Party. But when he leaves, there's
going to be a big divide. There are going to
be people who want to go back to the Party
of Reagan and the Conservative Party, and I think that's
going to really split the party. It's going to be
a real issue going forward.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I agree with you people that have wrote his coattails,
this Maga movement. I mean, you're the cool kids until
you're not, and you don't know you're not until you're not,
if you know what I mean. And I think I
think that's more likely than anything else.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, I would agree with you there. I think many
MEGA people will realize that the next cool kid, unless
it's JD. Vance. But I got to admit, there's gonna
be a lot of people running. I don't think JD
Vance has a clear shot anymore. I think you're going
to get DeSantis. I think you're going to get the
secretary of State. I think there's a lot of people
are going to step up because you got to remember,

(09:54):
you only have one shot to be president, and people
don't want to wait eight years. So there'll be people
stepping into that ring, and they're going to be really
pushing Mega aside or trying to. It'll be interesting to
see what happens.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
All right, Jim, always appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Thank you, thank you, That is what you want.

Speaker 7 (10:26):

Speaker 7 (11:38):
So you've been kind of a wall on the show.
Why don't you let people know what you've been doing
with yourself.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
I'm substitute teaching. Oh good god, I'm pretty much work
every day.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
You and the youth of America.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
Imagine that they are are school too.

Speaker 7 (11:54):
We are in trouble.

Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yeah, that's why he shows up against a lot of
substitute students because they all check out.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
What's so? What I mean? You come from uh, working
at the waste water play it, yeah, to retiring to
doing this every Friday, and then you go into substitute teaching,
Like what is it just your your No, there's your
red does your resume say School of Hard Knocks.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
Here's what happened. They baseball coach had to resign because
of family obligation, and they called me in. They said,
how would you take would you take over the baseball job?
I'm like, yeah, sure, I mean I'm not really wanting to,
but I'll help you out. And they said, while you're there,
why don't you just substitute teach. I'm like, I never
got my degree. I quit college before I had a degree,

(12:44):
and they said, you don't need a degree. I'm like, well, okay,
so I ended up then Now, like I think I've
missed like two days this year school year. I got more,
uh more time in than teachers do. What teachers take
more time off than I do?

Speaker 7 (12:58):
Well, I'm sure because you know, you're not just filling
in for one person, like sometimes if somebody goes on,
like if you have a teacher that goes on maternity
leave or something like that, you're in there for I've
done that, you know, for probably two or three months easily,
and then but then you could be in there for
say two or three days for one teacher, and then
the next day you're in there for a day for
another teacher, and then another teacher. You know, you're floating

(13:18):
around a little bit.

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Yeah, because I do middle school and high school. I
don't do elementary. No, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
It's like hurting cats.

Speaker 8 (13:28):
So yeah, so by doing all that's you know, fifth
grade up to twelfth grad it's a lot of classes.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
Sure, and and a lot of useless knowledge. You're teaching guessed, well.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Not really actually class. And she says, what do you
want to teach today? She said, I don't have anything
for you. I said, I'll show them wastewater treatment. So
I had a video and if we talked about wastewater treatment.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
That I didn't think that's where you were going to
go with biology.

Speaker 8 (13:57):
You have to be careful nowadays. You have you have
to watch. You can't say, oh, you look nice today,
because then that's sexual harassment. You know, you have to
be careful about what you say about everything.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Like you just can't tell somebody they look nice.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
Oh, it's crazy. They feel that they feel compromised, they
feel threatened because you said that.

Speaker 9 (14:17):
Oh my god.

Speaker 8 (14:18):
So you you know, I've got called in for that.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
Well, I can understand why you would get called in, but.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Yeah, I mean so it's it's a dangerous situation. And look,
the kids know how to get in your favorite The
girls will flirt with you, and you've got to be careful,
you say back.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
You're ninety five years old. Who's gonna flirt with you?

Speaker 8 (14:37):
Well, because they wants, you know what I mean, they
want because a lot. No, it's not about that, it's
it's I mean, they do it to everybody. It's not
just me. I mean and the guys, you know, what's
your favorite team, and they'll talk sports with you, try
to be your buddy.

Speaker 9 (14:51):
Yeah, I imagine too, do you? Yes, you could so
easily record someone with your phone unless they're not allowed
to even have phone phones?

Speaker 8 (14:59):
Are phones allow?

Speaker 7 (15:00):
F too?

Speaker 8 (15:02):
Oh I can have my phone okay, right, but no,
all the students have to other phones in the locker.

Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, I mean, I remember when I was coaching basketball
and now coach girls basketball at the high school. I
started off at the middle school for one year and
then I was the high school varsity coach. But you
know what you said, You know, the girls, you could
It's not necessarily that they're flirting, right, but they're but
they're they're they're testing you. They're they're testing the waters
to see what they can get away with, what they can't,

(15:27):
and what you're willing to say to them, what you're not.
And hell, that was twenty that was almost thirty years.

on the bloom Daddy Experience with salmon Otis but with

on the bloom Daddy Experience with samon Otis, News Radio

(17:44):
eleven seventy WWVA and the King of Think and Devo
in the house. Hey, Hey, Thanksgiving two days away? Yeah,
any big plans for anybody?

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (17:54):
I haven't one of my sons, okay, because he's he's
going to his in laws and myrtle for Christmas. So
we're having Christmas at his house on.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
Thursday, okay. And so about how many people are going
to be there? Ah?

Speaker 8 (18:05):
See, his ex wife is due dow what.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Far far from the tree? Doesn't eight people?

Speaker 8 (18:14):
Yeah? I mean him and his ex wife get along fantastic,
you know, And I I mean about how many people?
Probably about eight?

Speaker 9 (18:21):
Davo.

Speaker 7 (18:21):
Have you any big plans for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 9 (18:23):
Well as a single divorce kind of grandpa guy, I
just kind of float like a butterfly and eat the
turkey where it may lie. But my daughter's got something
going late in the day. They actually gain invited my cousin.
I could crash that, you know. But it's not till five.
My other son's going to have Thanksgiving, but he's not
having it till Saturday morning, when the big game immediately follows.

Speaker 7 (18:49):
Okay, and then so I normally get invited up to
my cousins on Thanksgiving. So normally my mom and I
will head that way and then we'll have Thanksgiving with
my kids on Friday. So, but there's a survey out
there that says that half of Americans have developed conversation
game plans for the upcoming holiday gatherings.

Speaker 9 (19:12):
The world we live in not us.

Speaker 7 (19:16):
So are there any banned topics when you go to
holiday gatherings? Like whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas or like,
do you try to avoid certain subjects or do you
do you bring them up just to stir the pot.
We don't have a problem because you're all on the
same page.

Speaker 8 (19:34):
We're all on the same page. Football, politics, We're all
on the same page.

Speaker 9 (19:38):
Okay, And that makes great conversation. When you're all on
the same page, You've got camaraderie about all the subject matter.
You're just high five in each other.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
Yeah, you're a good old bring Maybe you didn't hear
this story and I bring it up and they did
bring that story about.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
It, so right, But then when you have the split divide,
you know, the red and the blue Thanksgiving, I'm sure
it gets a lot more. Dicey. I've had issues with
relatives who are on the blue side, and I'm like, look,
if you could talk about politics without your eyeballs coming

(20:12):
out of your head, you know, and losing all your hair,
it turns on fire. I'll gladly talk politics because I
don't lose my mind about it. And some have agreed
let's not talk, and others have said we won't talk,
but then they take those subtle little jabs throughout the
afternoon and you're like, okay, you're testing me.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
Now, Well here's the thing too, David. I'm assuming we're
all on the same page because if you're against it,
and that is conglamorate against you, you don't open your mouth.

Speaker 9 (20:42):
No, you know that's right, sits here and listen. You
have to read the temperature of the turkey and the
room to make sure whether you go into something you're
not going to get an avalanche.

Speaker 7 (20:51):
So I like, normally it's at Christmas and we'll go
down to my dad's, but you or wherever in that area.
It could be at my stepbrother's house or whatever. And
my dad is a Democrat, and everybody else in the
house is well, he and his wife, I should say,
everybody else in the house is basically a Trump supporter. Yes, okay,

(21:13):
now they that doesn't mean that they agree with everything
that he does or anything of that nature.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
They're common sense people.

Speaker 9 (21:19):
Then, yes, more or less.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
So everything will be going nice and smooth, and at
some point in time somebody will take a jab just
to see if my dad bites, and it's normally me
or it's it could be it could be one of
the step sons. You know, somebody will say something about,

(21:42):
you know, maybe this show, Hey, what are you talking about?
This and that and the other, So then you know
they know what the subjects are. And then sometimes you
just get him going and then you have to it's
funny at first, and then you have to kind of
reel it back because if not, it's going to get
totally out of hand.

Speaker 9 (22:01):
I was just going to say, at first, it's just
support and fodder to watch someone blow up, and then
it's eventually okay, he's not like buying into this hole. Uh,
this is just you know, some casual conversation about the
difference that he has gone ballistic. His eyes are now
coming out of his head, his air's on fire. We
need to stop.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
And some of the things that you know that he'll
quote or you can tell it's from MSNBC or CNN,
and then if you bring that up, well, Fox is
the same way. They're just on the other side, you know.
And it's just it's like, I don't watch Fox News,
you know, I don't even get it in my house.

Speaker 9 (22:37):
That's funny. I had someone say that to me, well
quit watching Fox News. And my immediate reaction, rather than
defend whether I watch it or not, is and what
do you watch? What do you get hypnotized and zombied by?
You know, and immediately just turn it back onto them.

Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well, ninety percent of the stuff that I get is
either on the wire here or if I hear it
on the radio, on the on the newscast at the
top and bottom of the hours.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
You know.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
Now that's normally Fox News. No matter which channel that
I'm listening to, they seem to run Fox News on
a lot of the radio stations.

Speaker 9 (23:10):
Right, Well, I get all my news. I'm a talk
show junkie, because it's so easy to you know, tune
in at any time all through today. Iheart's got you know,
political talk shows from sunrise the sunset and all through
the night too if you want to get the podcast,
and it's easy to you know, tune in and tune
out real quick, as opposed to watching a TV show

(23:32):
where you know, you got sixteen things scrolling different directions
and it's all about the hair and the makeup and
the suits. And I like political talk radio. Otis has
a great face for radio.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
I do.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
See.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
That's why.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I remember being in.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
A journalism class at WU and They're like, Okay, well
this is the TV and I'm like, I don't want
to do TV. They're like, what do you mean? I said,
I don't want to do TV. I want to go
into radio. And they're like why, I said, look at this.
Would you want this face on TV?

Speaker 9 (24:02):
Good point?

Speaker 7 (24:03):
Yeah, you know. So, I mean I've known for a
long time that I have a face for radio. So
we got Thanksgiving and then you know, the big thing
after Thanksgiving, of course, is Black Friday. Are you guys?
Black Friday? Guys, do you get up early in the
morning and hit the sales? Absolutely not Okay, you don't
even probably buy gifts for anybody.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Oh I do. Yeah, that's why Christmas is so stressful
for me, trying to figure out what to buy everyone.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
When do you start your Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 8 (24:34):
Never before? Now this year I had to because of
my son, Christmas on three. Yeah, so I had to
get theirs. But everybody else is after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 10 (24:43):
What about you, Dave Black Friday guy, Well, back in
the day, you know, eighties, nineties, when it was a
big thing, you know, I would do it and it
was fun to get up because you had no idea.

Speaker 9 (24:53):
You couldn't look online for anything. You had to go
find his stuff. And then once online got you know,
became a deal and once you know, been there, done
that took over. No, I mean, it's it just doesn't
have the luster now.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
But I just I have a hard time doing a
Black Friday thing just because I'm not a big crowd person,
right And as soon as like, if I've got to
fight for a parking spot, I'm sure as I'll not
fighting for that gift, I'll just wait to I'll wait
until like a Wednesday afternoon, like December third, or December tenth,

(25:28):
or something like that when nobody's out shopping, and that's
when I'll hit that. Well, you know i'll hit what
I'll do.

Speaker 9 (25:33):
You know what you got going on now too? I
was just in a big box building material store, which
you'll go nameless here, but they were telling me, like,
you know how you got the door dash. Folks bring
you know, bring your food, but they also will go
grocery shopping for you through your groceries on store. They
come into the stores buying things, you know, electrical power

(25:54):
extension cord or a generator or this or that, like
are you buying this for yourself? No, by that someone
bought it online. I'm just running out here and buying
it for them so I could see. You know, Black
Friday folks, just pay somebody to run out there at
four am for you.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
That elms half the fun, Yeah, half the fun the
world we're living in. Half the fun is going out
and trying to find something. My thing is always try
to find something unique, something that I haven't gotten before.
I mean, if I have, it's because it's you know,
like there are certain gifts that I'll buy again because
I know that they've used it already and they're out

(26:35):
of it. So it might be a food ITEMA but if.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
You want just that one item, that's only fifty bucks
normally five hundred at four am, and you're going on,
I'm not still up at four am. I'm just going
to call this guy to go pick.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
I can't I can't get the freebies.

Speaker 9 (29:32):
Well, now come on, you as much money as you
make here and then you got plenty to burn on them.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
I'm part time. Hey, gonna take a look at some
local news. Chargers are being fouled against the Weirton man
accused of possessing child porn. Authorities arrested seventy six year
old James Capito this week, saying they found more than
three thousand videos of child sex abuse on his electronic devices.
Capito is currently free on bond. West Virginia Senators Shelley

(30:00):
Moore Capito is behind the plan to dismantle the Department
of Education. In a statement, Senator Capitol said it would
be it would benefit local students, parents and teachers. Capito
added that President Trump's plan would give more authority to
the states and in West Virginia news, but this is
going to hit pretty much everybody. The Kanawa County Sheriff's

(30:20):
Department and the FBI are investigating the death of a
fifteen year old boy linked to an online sextortion scheme.
Bryce Tate was found dead from a self inflicted gunshot
wound on November sixth. Investigators say he had been communicating
with someone posing as a teenager who demanded money after
coursing him to send intimate images. Sheriff Joey Crawford is

(30:42):
urging parents to have conversations with their children about these dangers.
Stink you're in you know, your substitute in middle school
and high school, you know, and I'm sure these kids
talk to you. Is this something that you see a problem?
Do you see an issue with you know, with the
social media and the potential for this.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yeah, I mean I've had a couple of kids come
up to me and, you know, told me that during
the summer, the contemplated suicide. You know, I'm not a therapist,
but they trust you enough to tell you these things,
which they probably never told their parents, they probably never
told anyone else that they even contemplated. And it's an

(31:24):
eerie feeling to have to sit there and try to
listen to them what their We think it's such a
big problem, they can't overcome it, and yeah, it's more
prevalent than you think.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Well, and here you have a fifteen year old boy
who probably got talked into doing something you know, risque,
you know, and then now they're they're they're blackmailing him,
and he's fifteen years old. Doesn't understand that if he
goes to somebody that you know, he's not going to
be punished, he's not going to be looked down upon.

(31:58):
And instead, you know, he tries to solve the problem,
or you know, you attempted to solve the problem by
taking his own life, and that's not solving the problem at.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
All, you know.

Speaker 7 (32:08):
And you know, when you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old,
you don't realize these things. You know, you have grandkids day.
But I mean, this is this something that you've talked
to him about?

Speaker 9 (32:18):
Absolutely, one hundred percent. We have put that it's the
generation that they are growing up in. We put a live,
ticking time bomb in their hands with these smartphones and
what you can do with them. The solution is not
though to keep the phones away from them. That's that's
a no starter there. But you have to talk to
them all the time and bring up things that you

(32:40):
might not want to bring up. I mean, it made
me common sense to you, but it's not common sense
to a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
I've already it's not a comfortable conversation.

Speaker 9 (32:50):
No, I've already mentioned it to my fifth grader grandchild.
Do not ever send pictures of yourself to anyone because
they don't go away, they stay there. And you know,
we've had a conversation with my other granddaughter who's a freshman,
about don't ever get caught up in a group text

(33:12):
where you know you're starting to bash various that you know,
maybe teachers or this or that or everything, or where
you're starting to send pictures to each other and you
get caught up in a moment that you have to
talk to them. The best defense against what happened to
that poor boy there is the family in his life.
I mean from every angle, not just mom, dad, uncle, aunt,

(33:35):
grandma and grandpa. Everyone bringing it up without badgering them
or lecturing don't do anything stupid by taking semi nude
pictures of yourself anywhere.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
Dude.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
Yeah, but it's right, it's not just that. I mean,
we've had recently, probably in the last three months, I
know of three suicides and it was not over that.
It was because it was a breakup. Boy and a
girl broke up, right, So you know, it's all about
you have to if there, look at your children, your
niece's nephews, if they're acting kind of different, pull overside,

(34:09):
say hey, what's wrong.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Or maybe just beat them to the punch and explain
to him. Look, this is probably what's gonna happen. You
know you're gonna break up with this person because you're
sixteen years old. The odds of you being with them
for the rest of your life are slim to nine.

Speaker 9 (34:21):
Right, you know, so absolutely what you just said is
spot on.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
Address address the issues early on. Yeh, don't shove it away, listen, right,
Seven fifty eight on the bloom Daddy Experience. Stuff for
you coming up, We've got your chance to win. We've
got a pair of tickets to see Motown Christmas right
here December thirteenth at the Capitol Theater. And we also
have December ninth Chevvy Chase and the screening of a
Christmas Story coming up. It's the bloom Daddy Experience on

(34:47):
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Z number one touch show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy, his
goal inform, entertain.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
And tick people off.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
The bloom Daddy Experience on news Radio eleven SEVENTYVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
News Radio eleven seventy It's the bloom Daddy Experience.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Hey, it's at six. Let's get this hour rolling well.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
With Thanksgiving days away, the holiday season this year, whether
you are ready or not. Last year, the TSA estimated
nearly thirty nine million people were screened at US airports
between December nineteenth and January TEWOD so you can always
count on a busy time at the airport. And I
just saw on new analysis by the Department of Transportation
data by Finance Buzz says that picking an airline is

(35:47):
just as important to keep things running smoothly, so they
reviewed stats on a number of canceled delayed flights, number
of mishandled bags, average arrival delay length, and the airlines
were then ranked from best to worst. Number one Delta
I want to bring on, Jay Ratliffe i Heeart Aviation
Analyst Delta number one according to these stats.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
According to Finance Buzz, Jay, what are they doing right?

Speaker 12 (36:11):
Well, I mean they're doing a lot of things right
and I was zero surprised when I saw that because
most of the time, from a performance standpoint, Delta tends
to rank up at or near the top in most
of the categories. But Delta's my preferred carrier of choice,
and one of the reasons being is they have a
higher completion factor than any of the airline across the country.

(36:33):
In fact, around the world, they tend to have the
best completion factor, which means there's a better chance with
Delta than other carriers that you're going to get to
your destination.

Speaker 7 (36:42):
That day now.

Speaker 12 (36:44):
On time performance is obviously important, but when I look
at things, it's how many flights do they complete? How
many flights are canceled, and when you look at that,
Delta tends to rise above it. And you know, delayed
and canceled flights cost you money. And Delta has had
a number of quarters in the last couple of years,
quarters where they've reported a billion dollars in profit. In fact,

(37:07):
the fourteenth of February every Valentine's year, the Delta, many times,
if they've made a profit, will give a profit sharing
check to their employees and there have been times over
the last now a few years that those employees have
gotten between ten and twenty percent of their annual salary

(37:28):
as a thank you profit sharing check on Valentine's Day.
So Delta can do that because they're making a lot
of money. And the reason they're making a lot of
money is that they're not canceling flights. They're not seeing
a great number of delayed flights, which eats into that
bottom line. And you see other airlines that have had
problems with this in the past. They strive to do better,

(37:50):
but some airlines just continue to struggle. And when that
kind of thing happens, it really impacts customers because it's like,
wait a minute, I've been I've flown this airline three
times in the year year and a half, and I've
had two flights canceled and one delayed. Something's wrong here,
and sometimes we can do things to help our case
by catching the first flight out in the morning, which
tends to be the flight that it's the most important

(38:12):
departure of the day for airlines because it cannot leave
late because then all the other flights for that aircraft
can be delayed that day. But you know, for me, now,
Delta Airlines on top of that. Yeah, now they may
not SWW me with customer service, okay, but they will
get me to my destination more frequently and many times

(38:34):
more on time than other carriers will do.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
All right, Delta on top according to the survey. On
the bottom, jet Blue, So what are they doing wrong?

Speaker 12 (38:41):
Jay, They're having problems, They're having financial problems, they're having
operational problems. And remember Jet Blue was involved in the
Spirit Airlines Frontier Airlines merger. No merger because it was
Spirit Airlines that's also hurting from a financial standpoint number
of years ago. That was and to merge with Frontier

(39:02):
and those two airlines would have been a great low
cost carrier combination. And then here comes skipping along jet
Blue saying, hey, we will offer more money to you
Spirit than Frontier will, so come with us. So they
spent the next two years trying to make that work.
It was eventually turned down by Department of Justice under
anti trust issues. There were going to be a lot
of jobs lost to markets impacted. So Jet Blue is

(39:24):
kind of tossed to the side, as was Spirit, and
financially they're not as strong as they have been and
they're having a difficult time operationally with their on time
flights and their performance, and as a result, it's costing
of money. And you have certain numbers of passengers that
are traveling less these days with your business travelers, and

(39:45):
when you've got an airline which is kind of geared
towards servicing the business community, which Jet Blue is, that's
kind of their model, you're going to see them impacted.
Delta has been able on the other end to do
better things because they're catering more or to leisure travelers
and those that want the leisure plus or economy plus
seats that get a little bit bigger, pay a little

(40:07):
bit more. But most of these people are traveling for leisure.
That's why you're having issues around the country with a
lot of these carriers, depending on who they cater to,
that's having problems right now. JetBlue is not operating from
a position of strength, and as a results, what's happening
is they're not making near as much money, if they're

(40:28):
able to make money at all, and they're certainly not
like the United's and the Deltas that are making a
great deal of money these days. Even Southwest to some regard,
is struggling to make money, which is one of the
reasons they've changed how they do things where they're going
to assign seats after the first of the year, they're
going to bring in economy plus seats where you can
you can pay for a bigger seat, and those types

(40:49):
of things so that they can try to pad their
bottom line like so many of these other carriers have.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Teyo Jay Ratliffe iHeart Aviation analysts so Delta number one,
followed by Hawaiian Airline to Southwest United in spirit, those
are your top five bottom five American airlines Frontier, Allegiant, Alaska, JetBlue.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
So what are those top five doing.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
What's the one common thread, if you will, that those
bottom five need to learn.

Speaker 12 (41:14):
From well, when you own low cost carriers, in essence,
are counting on one thing, the leisure traveler. And what
we're finding is the number of those have dropped just
a bit, and you have a lot of us to
do the economy and other types of things, so you're
not seeing as many people number wise flying on the
low cost carriers is what we've had in the past.

(41:36):
They have, as a result, had to raise some of
their prices as much as the market will allow. And
what they're finding is you reach that tipping point where
you raise them so much people aren't gonna fly, and
the load factors, they're yield per passenger and the number
of people flying aren't as strong as what they've been
in the past. And you also have the United Delta
and Americans and others that kind of smell blood in

(41:58):
the water, and they're like, hey, you know, if some
of these low cost carriers are hurting in some of
these markets, huh, what we'll do is come in and
drop some of our fares, you know, give back some
of our profit in order to compete with them in
hopes of driving them out of that specific market. That's
what those large legacy carriers do, so much so, and
that's created some problems. Now, you've also had situations where

(42:21):
the on time performance of Frontier and Allegiance sometimes hasn't
been as strong as it needs to be. I'm not
too worried though about their on time performance and much
because a lot of their stuff is point to point
where there's no connections involved. So if my flight from
Cincinnati to Orlando is delayed by ninety minutes, I'm not
sweating thinking, oh my gosh, am I going to make

(42:42):
my connecting flight. I don't have to worry about that.
But remember that aircraft's going to be scheduled be used
for three or four segments a day, so ultimately it's
going to catch up with people. If that flight runs
late four of the five departures that is scheduled to
be on that day, and that's going to create a
lot of operational problems.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
I change as always, thanks for the insight. Happy Thanksgiving, buddy,
Andy you bell, thank you all right. That is Jay Ratliffe,
iHeart Aviation Analyst.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
It's almost turkey time. This is your Thanksgiving countdown, only.

Speaker 13 (44:37):
Two days left. I thought that frozen turkey in time
for Thanksgiving dinner, or you'll be serving drumstick sickles.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
I'll be Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 (44:47):
I couldn't understand what she said. The first time I
heard the drum sickles.

Speaker 9 (44:50):
I got it.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
Turkey drum sickles. She said, so.

Speaker 8 (44:54):
Fast, I had turkey drum sickle.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
Why does that not No?

Speaker 8 (45:00):
Mother in law X on the law years ago. Which
one The first one she put the turkey on the
table was thanks Giving. She had a hard time cutting it,
and it's like there's still like ice on it. She said,
it said cooking four hours. I said, well, you have
to defrost at first, you have to thought tamp thing out.

(45:22):
She didn't do that. She's through the oven.

Speaker 7 (45:27):
Oh that's beautiful.

Speaker 8 (45:28):
She could not cook.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Trust me, you'll have that.

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Turkey drum sequals sounds like ice cream. Is there a
turkey ice cream?

Speaker 7 (45:36):
I know, we'd have to call Kirk. You know, Catin
He's got.

Speaker 8 (45:42):
Turkey flavor ice cream.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
He's got the side this. She's got the cream corn
ice cream. You know, the sweet corn ice cream. It's
actually got corn kernels of corn in it.

Speaker 9 (45:50):
It could be a whole Thanksgiving dinner with ice cream potato.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
Right now.

Speaker 8 (45:57):
I see he's running to the store. Now.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
I saw Kurt on Saturday, and I just I'm thinking
to myself, I can't throw anything at him right now
because they'll think about it and do it.

Speaker 8 (46:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
So, hey, I don't know if you guys saw this,
if you're a Browns fan. The Browns are sticking with
their polarizing rookie quarterbacks Shadeer Sanders. Kevin Stefanski told the
media yesterday that he will continue to start under center
despite the fact that Dylan Gabriel has cleared concussion protocol.

Speaker 9 (46:26):
So she makes sense.

Speaker 7 (46:28):
Shader Sanders. You know, obviously the son of Dion, and
you know, here's here's a father's son. Probably Dion probably
saw something. I mean, when you have somebody that plays
at that level, they can pretty much tell if their
kid's gonna go, you know, if they have that shot. Okay,
there's a story out there that says one in six

(46:50):
parents think that their child will become a professional athlete.
So seventeen percent of parents believe their child is destined
for professional sports. There's a survey of four one hundred
and fifty people found seventy two percent think that you
sports feel more professional than recreational. Today, parents invest eight

(47:10):
hours weekly in their child's athletic to activities, while equipment
costs average about three hundred and thirteen bucks annually, some
families spend over five hundred dollars a year on year.
Athletes and parents experience burn out twice yearly from pressure
and exhaustion. Coaches witness player burnout three times annually, and
despite the challenges, ninety two percent would still encourage young

(47:31):
athletes to pursue sports. Nine and ten see the time
and money spent on sports as an investment into the
player's future. Do you think you're a high school basketball
or a baseball coach? Yeah, and you know, I coached
my kids growing up. I've seen I've coached girls basketball. Dave,

(47:52):
you're you're an announcer. It's athletic events, high school and
so on and so forth. There are parents out there
that are delusional.

Speaker 8 (48:01):
Delusion is the ideal word.

Speaker 7 (48:04):
I saw it when kids when when what we call
pinto baseball, which is coach pitch. So that's like six,
seven and eight years old, okay, And you would think
there were parents out there that thought that their kids
were major leaguers, oh yes, and that they were going
to be D one athletes and everything else, and by
the time they got the middle school, they were done

(48:25):
playing baseball.

Speaker 8 (48:28):
Yeah. I mean, I've I've experienced that. And it's it's
more I think the parents start early on there and
put it in their heads that you're the All Star,
you're the major leaguer, you're you're the NFL pro you know,
the NBA basketball player. You got it with the other
kids don't. And they pushed that in a kid's mind,

(48:50):
and all of a sudden they brainwashed their child and
the thinking that and you know, I've dealt with a
couple couple three kids like that, and you know, I'm
going to go D one and you know I'm gonna
I have scouts come and looking at me and like
where I don't see him? The stands are empty today,

(49:11):
you know. Tell me, uh so, yeah, the delusion was
the optimal word.

Speaker 7 (49:16):
Well, I can remember, I mean, and I think, I mean,
I think I approached things the correct way when I
was coaching. First off, I never told my kids they
were the best or the worst on the team. And
even though my my youngest son was probably one of
the better players on the team, I never told him that.
And I was just told him that you had to

(49:36):
work harder, and you know, you know, never did never
you were just on the team. And you know, my
my older son, he was probably middle of the pack,
you know, so he wasn't the best, he wasn't the worst.
And I'm talking little league baseball here, you know. So so,
but I had the advantage of I had coached previously

(49:59):
before where I had kids, So when I would coach
the little league, that's how I approached it. My kids
were players, they weren't my kids.

Speaker 8 (50:09):
You have to do it that way, you know.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
And you know my kid, you know, if my kid
was playing shortstop or second base or whatever it was,
because he was the kid that could fill those shoes,
you know, he was he was the right one for
the job. And then if a kid came up or
another player came in, then I knew for you know,
and it was better maybe at shortstop that I moved
my kid over or you know, I moved him around.

(50:31):
It wasn't like I tried to make him the best,
but you would hear people say, oh, my kid's going
to do this, and my kid's going to do that.
I'm like, he's eight years old, right, you know. And
I look back, and you know, we had started a
travel baseball team at nine, and out of that entire
team at nine and ten, eleven years old, all those

(50:52):
kids had played travel baseball from like nine to fourteen.
There's one that went on to play high school baseball.

Speaker 8 (50:58):
Yeah, that was my And exactly. I tell my assistant
coaches this, and I I tell parents this. When I
have a parent meeting the beginning of the year and
you're gonna coach you, I don't care if your parent
or you're one of my assistants. You coach with your head,
not your heart. Right, your heart tells you I love
this kid's death, but he doesn't have it right. Use

(51:20):
your head when you coach.

Speaker 9 (51:21):
Yeah, absolutely, Well don't forget though, if you thought you
had delusional syndrome with the way athletes were before. Now
that NIL is making the wild Wild West of College
is now completely infiltrated high school ranks, you're going to
get a lot more of that, not just for the playing,

(51:41):
but for the.

Speaker 7 (51:42):
Advertised We'll hold that thought because we're talking about the
NIL in high school here in a second. So it's
a twenty eight on the bloom Daddy Experience. We're gonna
have your chance to win right now. A pair of
Chevy Chase tickets to screen a Christmas vacation right here
at to Capitol Theater December ninth. Little cute question and
answer with Chevy Chase after the show. So a pair
of tickets for you if you if your collar number seventeen.

Speaker 9 (52:05):
How's that? That's good? All right?

Speaker 7 (52:07):
More of the bloom Daddy Experience coming up right after this.
Eight thirty six on the bloom Daddy Experience with salmon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA filling in for the Samster.

(52:27):
Takes two of them to fill her shoes too. I
think actually Davo.

Speaker 9 (52:32):
Actually four them four feet her two feet yeap.

Speaker 7 (52:36):
Hey, Just to let you guys know, the our lady
of Perpetual Help Ukrainian Church down in South Wheeling. Okay,
they have their Christmas parole. You orders ready so you
can order perogis and cabby rolls. The last day to
order is Thursday, December eleventh, and you got to pick
them up on Thursday, December eighteenth. Leave your order on
the answering machine. There are perogis that there are potato

(52:58):
and cheese, potato, cheese, an onion, sauer kraut. The parogis
are seven bucks a dozen and cabby rolls are two
fifty apiece. And the number there is three oh four
two three two one seven seven seven. That's a big
And I can tell you this. I know the parogies
are good. You know how I know that you haven't? No,
my mom makes them.

Speaker 9 (53:17):
Oh wow. Now there's testimonial for you right there, folks.

Speaker 7 (53:21):
Yep, and she may make the cabby drolls too. Want
to congratulate Jay. He was the winner to our Chevy
chase tickets chase from Washington, PA.

Speaker 8 (53:29):
So lucky guy.

Speaker 7 (53:30):
Yeah, not bad. Hey, you know we got Thanksgiving coming
up right okay, and the price of turkey is super
high right now, so you can save money and eat
pizza on Thanksgiving. Instead, there's one pizza chain that's perfect
for your holiday gathering This Thanksgiving.

Speaker 13 (53:47):
Avoid the high cost of turkey and make pizza your
new holiday feast. At Pilgrim Hunt, America's founding fathers came
here in search of freedom and mozzarella stuffed crust. And
what do you kids really want to eat? Dried up
turkey and green bean casserole or a large pepperoni with
extra cheese plus a pizza cutter is much safer than

(54:08):
Grandpa's shaky hands on the electric carving knife. This Thanksgiving,
be thankful you didn't drop a mortgage payment on turkey
with all the fixens. Instead, feed the entire family with
a large, one topping pizza for only nine nine Pilgrim Hunt.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
We added a buckle to.

Speaker 13 (54:27):
The Pizza Hut logo and now it totally looks like
a red Pilgrim's hat.

Speaker 7 (54:34):
Pilgrim, it does look like a Pilgrim.

Speaker 8 (54:41):
Every time you talk about that, I kept thinking about
the dinner and Christmas vacation.

Speaker 7 (54:45):
Say it? Do it? Come on you. I was gonna
save that for tomorrow, but you brought it up. So anyway,
before we went to the break, we were talking about
like high school sports and kids and and you know,
but dave O, you brought this up before the show.

(55:07):
Now you have nil money, which is ruining college but
for sports with doubt. Now the nil money is is
sifting down into the high school level. Yes, and West
Virginia's had it for a short time and Ohio just
approved it.

Speaker 9 (55:24):
If I must approved it, it's officially in action.

Speaker 7 (55:28):
So I mean, you know, so now with open enrollment
and things like that, you know, or are the rich
going to get richer? And as far as high school sports,
I mean, you know, if you're going to pay these kids,
how can you I don't understand how you can pay
these kids to come to school. Yeah, it just doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
Well, I didn't realize that Ohio was like now the
forty sixth state to actually allow ANIL in high school,
like forty five other states already had it. So it's
not something brand new. We're kind of late coming. But
what they're worried about as far as enforcement is there's
like seven eight hundred schools in Ohio with only like

(56:06):
twenty five people or so to go around enforcing this.
And he said it's no big deal. If let's say
a kid just you know, promoting a local pizza shop
on a weekend or something like that. No big deal,
But what if you start having businesses collude together, especially
in bigger schools. Hey, we can get a few you know,
top talent running back or quarterback because they're really into

(56:29):
the high school local football scene, and we can figure
out a way to pay this kid a lot. And
they said to tip off of what might be, Hey,
we better look at this. If they only you know,
transferred to a school five miles away, something's wrong. There
might be collusion going on, maybe to get this kid

(56:50):
to come over. Now, if it's sixty seventy miles away
where the whole family has to move, et cetera, it's
not as high on the radar of you know, alert alert,
there might be something to me.

Speaker 7 (57:00):
It would be the opposite because like maybe I don't
want to go to that, Maybe the other schools a
little better. I might have an opportunity. It might be
a little bigger school. Yes, so I mean, stink. You
run into this problem because you're at a small school.
You're at Bridgeport High School in Ohio, and you have
bigger schools around you. You have Saint Clairsville Martin's Ferry,
but lair that are a little bit bigger, maybe a

(57:20):
little more notoriety, so to speak. But and you see
it without any nil money. You see kids leaving Bridgeport
and going to Martin's Ferry, or Bridgeport and going to
Saint Clair's.

Speaker 8 (57:33):
Actually it's the other way around, now, is it. They're
coming to Bridgeport?

Speaker 7 (57:37):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (57:37):
So, like we had to move up in the state
rankings because of competitive ballance. So for every out of
district student you bring in counts as seven ool. So
if we bring right now, I think we've got three
or four kids from out so that's like twenty eight kids.
So it's moved us up to another level in the state.

Speaker 7 (57:58):
And you're really not that big, not that big.

Speaker 8 (58:00):
But because you have these kids coming from out of
your district, each kid counts a seventh.

Speaker 7 (58:05):
Is that is that? Also? Is that athletes or non
athletes too? So like in other words, I think it's
just athletes, okay, because like if it let's let's just
say I'm I'm a student. I'm a student. It say
Martin's Ferry, right, and I and maybe I have a
conflict or something with a student or a teacher or somebody,
and I decided that I'm coming to but I'm not

(58:25):
going to participate in any sports, right, But that still
probably counts against you.

Speaker 8 (58:30):
Yeah, it does classification based on enrollment.

Speaker 7 (58:33):
So but you're at a small school.

Speaker 8 (58:34):
We're the same way with the UVAC. We moved up
to the VAC because of that.

Speaker 7 (58:38):
So as a small school, I mean, is Bridgeport going
to be able to compete with nil any type of
nil money?

Speaker 8 (58:44):
Well, I don't know. We have disgust that. I mean,
but I'm brand new, like Dave said, Jesus brand.

Speaker 9 (58:49):
But your point there that you said you thought it
would be the other way around is exactly You're correct.
For the smaller school districts, that's exactly the way of
what they were concerned about was big school. So you
go to Cincinnati, I mean, there's fifteen twenty high schools
all bordering each other within you know, five ten miles
from each other. That's where they were concerned, like, Hey,

(59:09):
if this guy just jumps over from I don't know,
Middletown to Cincinnati, you know, Molar, then there's something going
on here that we don't like. Now, from the small
schools perspective, your right, that if it just you know,
you're just going from Bridgeport to Shady Side or Shady
Side to Bridgeport, then maybe it's you know, just because
you like the school district matter, it's not because you're

(59:31):
getting recruited to advertise for a Bridgeport business as opposed
to Shady Side. It won't pay for something.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
Well, you have to look at competition too. There was
wasn't too long ago. There were like three quarterbacks in
Belair that could have started anywhere. One of them transferred
to your local, another transfer to Shady Side, so they
all got to start. So that was before then. IO.
Now at the NIO, you're going to pay these guys
to come to you.

Speaker 7 (59:58):
Well, i'd look at someplace like you know, and if
you're familiar with our area, there's there. You have one
hundred high school, which is going to be consolidated next year.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Yes, but it's one of.

Speaker 7 (01:00:06):
The smallest schools in the state. And you know, I
work with a friend of mine who his daughter played
girls basketball. Well, he didn't send her one hundred because
you know, the competition and the odds of her getting
noticed were probably going to be slim to none. So
he centered a North Marion which was actually even in

(01:00:26):
a different county, you know, so, I mean distance wise,
it wasn't you know yet hundred would have been closer.
But North Marion's not that far away, you know what
I mean. You're you're talking maybe another fifteen it's fifteen
miles as opposed to But you know, you look at
something like that and you're going, Okay, you know, I
understand why you did it, because you want your daughter

(01:00:47):
to get recognized, you know, so you know, or you
to have a shot. She ended up going on and
playing in the Mountain East Conference, you know, at West
Virginia Tech.

Speaker 8 (01:00:55):
Yeah, if you get someone that's you know, adamant about
a certain school and they on a car dealership, Hey
we're gonna do it. Ate so much money to you
to bring this kid in.

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
Have you seen the commercial? I don't know, it's I
think it's an investment commercial where the kids are going
across the stage as graduates and they got to do
them as the business like. Instead of saying, hey, it's
you know John Smith, they say, oh, this is Joe's
tiring you know whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:01:22):
Yes, exactly, yes, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:01:23):
This graduation sponsored by right.

Speaker 7 (01:01:25):
Yeah. Yeah, It's just it's insane.

Speaker 8 (01:01:27):
Through a nation of sports.

Speaker 9 (01:01:28):
Really, it's a moving target right now, folks, it is
so anyway, eight forty five on the Bloom Daddy Experience,
then forget.

Speaker 7 (01:01:38):
We got your chance to win coming up. We've got
a pair of tickets to see a Motown Christmas right
here at the Capitol Theater on December thirteenth, and that'll
be coming up very shortly. Eight forty five Bloom Daddy Experience.
King of Stink Devo otis in for the vacationing Sam.

(01:02:06):
A fifty one on the Blue Daddy Experience with Sam
and otis News Radio eleven seventy WWV A filling in
for Sam is the King of Thinking Davo. But before
we get back to these two clowns, we got to
go up on the hill to talk to our buddy
Kevin Cook. What's going on a straw automotive today? Buddy?

Speaker 11 (01:02:25):
So you're basically almost all by yourself tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:02:28):
No, I got two I got two knuckleheads in here
with me. I got the King of Thinking Devo.

Speaker 9 (01:02:37):
You mean you don't know us?

Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
Weren't you listening?

Speaker 11 (01:02:39):
Were thanks this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 7 (01:02:43):
You know what that did? Calls over?

Speaker 9 (01:02:44):
That's again we'll be happy.

Speaker 11 (01:02:47):
Well, hit hit the exit button.

Speaker 7 (01:02:49):
I'm going what's happening to strab Hi?

Speaker 11 (01:02:53):
You know, I said, he looking at the Honda service
this morning. Okay, and some of the Honda service specials
that we have right now because a lot of folks
are gonna be getting on the road here, you know what,
probably tomorrow, maybe Thursday, a lot of traveling this weekend.
You need to get your all change before. We got
a special deal on hont oil changes this weekend. It's
fifty nine dollars okay, starting today, you've got the ten

(01:03:16):
dollars off on any additional accessories. And how about alignment? Okay,
these potholes, I mean, you know we've got one or
two around here.

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
Don't we a few? There's a few, yeah, just a few.

Speaker 11 (01:03:30):
How about a special deal on on front end alignments
right now? Seventy nine dollars ninety five cents for those.

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
That's pretty good price.

Speaker 11 (01:03:37):
Yeah, that's a really good price on front end alignment.
And while we're you know, and while it's here, you know,
we also do a one hundred and fifty three point
we call it a multi point inspection where you know,
we look at tie rotting as we look at ballge Ons.
You know, we'll inspect your brakes, We'll inspect you know,
the the tired depth, the wearing, you know, the wear
and tear on all your suspension components, check your air

(01:04:00):
pressure for you and we just want, you know, want
to make sure that when you put that vehicle on
the road that it's as safe as it possibly can be.
And that's not just you know here at the Honda store.
That's also Hyundai, Nissan, Crists of Dodge, Jeep, Ram Forward.
You know, we've got some great service departments. They do
a fantastic job, uh, and just trying to make sure
that you know, we keep your vehicles operating as safely

(01:04:20):
and you know, smoothly as possible.

Speaker 7 (01:04:23):
And one of the things that's underrated is the front
end alignment because people don't realize that that's going to
save their tires in the long run.

Speaker 11 (01:04:29):
Oh yeah, tire rotations and fund in alignments, you know,
because all it takes is one pothole to you know,
knock that cast or knock that camera out just a
little bit. And cause you know, wear on you know,
either one side of tire or cost cuffing, and uh,
that creates a lot of noise, you know, it can
create an unsafe an environment, caused your vehicle to pull
you know in you know, you know, either to the

(01:04:51):
right or to the left. So, you know, be a
good day today, you know, come on up here, you know,
grab one of the guys. Let's you know, let's get
it in there. Let's get it and get you on.

Speaker 12 (01:05:00):
The red side.

Speaker 7 (01:05:01):
All right, sounds like a plan.

Speaker 11 (01:05:03):
All right, buddy, y'all have a good Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 (01:05:05):
You as well. All right, we'll see you all right, right,
speaking of.

Speaker 9 (01:05:11):
Cars, Speaking of cars, I drove here for my eleven
to seventy debut in Ahonda CRV.

Speaker 7 (01:05:17):
It's not your debut you were here for well.

Speaker 9 (01:05:19):
I mean yeah, singing wise, you know, this is the
strict you know, talk show format, game show things.

Speaker 7 (01:05:26):
So there was a lady in Florida. Yes, her name's
Yasmin Victoria Eraso. She was arrested on November seventh after
deputies clocked her driving one hundred and seven miles an
hour WHOA in a fifty five mile an hour zone
on US nineteen in Palm Harbor, New record. According to
the Penelas County Sheriff's Office reports, Erazo was charged with

(01:05:47):
dangerous successive speeding. A misdemeanor. Deputy stopped her blue twenty
twenty Kia Forte at eleven fifty four on November sixth,
when she reportedly explained she was speeding to reach a
Little Caesar's Pizza store before it closed.

Speaker 9 (01:06:03):
Wow, and you got a hanker and you gotta fulfill it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
The Affidavid states that the Raizos still told deputies there
was no emergency or other justification for traveling at that speed.
She was protested, processed at twelve fifty two, and released
at six fifty two after posting one hundred and fifty
dollars bail.

Speaker 9 (01:06:22):
Well, obviously that policeman doesn't like pizza as much as
she'd listen.

Speaker 7 (01:06:26):
I'm not driving one hundred and seven miles an hour
for Little Caesars. Yeah, no offense to Little Caesars. Your pizzas,
you know, when they're hot and ready. I can handle one,
all right, But I'm not risking my driver's license at
one hundred and seven miles an hour for a Little
Caesar's Pizza.

Speaker 8 (01:06:43):
Can't believe that car with that fast?

Speaker 7 (01:06:45):
Yeah? Is there is there a local restaurant you'd be
willing to go? To jail for to speed a local.

Speaker 9 (01:06:50):
Rest on the well, you know the river.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
City Street here city, Yeah, I like nice.

Speaker 9 (01:06:56):
Yeah, absolutely, I'll speed down the higher seven down Main
Street playing in law enforcement. It's only two blocks, but
I gotta be there before the launch crowds.

Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
What about you think any any place? No, I can't
think of a restaurant that I'd go one hundred and
seven miles for.

Speaker 8 (01:07:14):
If you watch any TikTok videos, these people get pulled over,
say they're sovagn citizen. Oh yeah, I'm not driving them traveling? Really,
who's steering a car? Then they're so idiots? So many
idiots out there.

Speaker 7 (01:07:27):
Yeah, wow, you'll have that you guys. Are you guys gamblers?
Do you play the power ball?

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
I do?

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
I do.

Speaker 9 (01:07:35):
I haven't played it very recently.

Speaker 7 (01:07:37):
Here, well, you got one more shot before Thanksgiving for
the powerball jackpot. No, no grand prize winner yesterday or
last night. So the jackpot jumps to six hundred and
eighty one million bucks.

Speaker 9 (01:07:50):
Too much wows out?

Speaker 7 (01:07:51):
Too much cash option works out there over three hundred
and fifteen million dollars with the odds of winning one
in two hundred and ninety two million. Yes, I'm happy
with you're old, so you'd take the cash option. No,
I don't know. I don't know would you take the
cash option or would you.

Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Take them into your state after?

Speaker 7 (01:08:11):
Not necessarily? I think if you set it.

Speaker 9 (01:08:14):
Up that way, so I would take the pout if
but I don't know what's the guarantee that you know,
all of a sudden the steak budget doesn't go belly
out bankrupt.

Speaker 7 (01:08:22):
And you lose powers nationally.

Speaker 9 (01:08:24):
Oh well, now I would do that that way. I'm
not tempted to get blasted with eight gazillion dollars and.

Speaker 7 (01:08:32):
Now what, well, you know, like like I've always said
I would, I would. I would put myself down with
my two other winners being my sons, and so then
we would split it three ways and take the long
term payments. And then when I croak, if I croak
before all the payments are made, then instead of being
divided three ways, it's divided too.

Speaker 9 (01:08:49):
See. I like the plan when it's only four million,
because you got a better chance to win because there's
not as many people playing.

Speaker 7 (01:08:57):
The odds are still the same. It doesn't matter how
many people. It's like a fifty to fifty.

Speaker 9 (01:09:01):
You know what, I don't play that much anyway, So yeah,
the odds are you're better off. You know, it's his
finger to the wind, and I hope some might throw
that money.

Speaker 7 (01:09:12):
So we're basically wrapping it up today, are you guys?
You guys are gonna be in for tomorrow? You don't
have school to mark you Nope? Okay, so you're probably
coming back. I'll be. You have to set your alarm
to get up early. One more day, half hour earlier.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
Is that all?

Speaker 7 (01:09:23):
You're gonna drive back down?

Speaker 9 (01:09:24):
I will be back down absolutely.

Speaker 7 (01:09:26):
All right, don't forget. If you want to see the.

Speaker 9 (01:09:28):
Play Every Christmas Story Ever told.
