Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Indeed number one talk show in the Ohio Alley. 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 (00:22):
Seven o six. Good morning, folks. Just like I said
on Facebook, of course, thank you for tuning in the
bloom Daddy Experience. Otis and Sam the News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. Otis. It saw it's melting out there.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
I noticed it last night. I was coming back from
my workout and I'm like, did it rain? Like the
roads were soaking wet, and I'm thinking, like, I was
only in there an hour. Did it pour down? And
then I'm like, hey, stupid, it's the ice melting or
the snow melting or whatever. And I had to laugh
because you drive down my street and as you're driving
down my house was on the left hand side. Okay,

(01:00):
all the house was on the left hand side. The
snow and the front yards are all gone.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's gone.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
On the houses on the right hand side, it's still
in their yards, and it's like you're going, you know,
I mean, it's obvious because my side gets the sun,
then nurse doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Do you have that pause and confusion.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
You're going, wait a minute, what's going on here? Is
it colder on that side of the street that it
is on mine? No, it's not. But yeah, big day
yesterday in news. Really, I mean, no matter what you had,
you know, you had the Maduro sentencing or the you know,
the plead whatever, you know, wherever he went into court.

(01:39):
You had multiple head coaches going down in the NFL.
One of yours, Kevin Stefanski, what's your opinion on.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
That it was the worst kept secret? Knew it was happening.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean, is it time? Was it time Stefanski the
escapegoat or a combination of.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's one big melting pot of issues in Cleveland. Stefanski.
As I said yesterday, Stefanski had things going until the
moment that ownership and Andrew Berry decided to basically use
Baker Mayfield as escapegoat and it was all downhill from that,

(02:25):
followed by the worst contract in not only NFL history,
but sports history with Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I think that Deshaun Watson thing was the downfall of
the Browns.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
And I don't think Stefanski wanted it.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't either, And I think, and again, had had
Cleveland kept Baker Mayfield and not gone after Deshaun Watson.
Now Baker Mayfield could have gone out as a free agent,
maybe down the road somewhere, but I think if that
would be the case, I think Kevin Stefanski might still

(02:58):
have a job in Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I do too, Absolutely, I do too, because at the
time we had the best offensive line. We had Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Who was mobile.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's a combination of so many things. But when I think,
what it comes down to is ownership gets involved where
they shouldn't get involved, and ownership is blinded by the
shiny new penny. I eed Sean Watson or prior to that,
Odell Beckham, because Odell Beckham was terrible. His dad did

(03:28):
a lot of social media stuff which then entail he
blamed Baker Mayfield for everything, YadA, YadA, YadA, and like
I said, it was a big stew or soup melting
pot of an absolute cluster.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
You know why well, And I just think you know
when ownership when when the ownership or the the face
of the ownership group. Because most NFL teams aren't owned
by really one person. There's there's a group, but there's
a there's a majority stockholder, like Jerry Jones and the
haslums in and back in the day in Washington, Daniel Snyder,

(04:04):
I think the more ownership gets involved, the worst your
team is. So and I think it's proven in you know,
in Dallas. I think it was proven in Washington, and
I think it's been proven in Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, in Cleveland, wasn't the only team yesterday, of course
the Raiders are.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Released and yeah, now I was going to say the
Raiders are in that group as well.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, they fired Pete Carroll. The Falcons fired their head coach.
But then prior to that, in the middle of this season,
the Giants fired their head coach, and so did the Titans,
So overall there are five head coaching positions open.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I was telling you during the breaks that one of
the things that I saw yesterday I was on Facebook
and that's how I found out Pete Carroll got fired,
because it said the Raiders have fired Pete Carroll and
it was like this face only like no background and
like you almost like one of those little cardboard cutouts.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You see, Oh yeah in the stands.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, and it was Ellen DeGeneres, not Pete Carroll, because
they're saying that Ellen and Pete look kind of look alike.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Nice. I don't know. I don't know who should take
offense to that, him or her.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah. Well, the other big news yesterday, former vice presidential
candidate Tim Walls YEP announced that he will not run
for a third term. Huh. This guy has got to
be you know, he's he's so he's into like he
won't admit that he's made mistakes and that everything's going on,

(05:33):
because I mean, he's probably gonna be brought up on charges,
to be honest with you, and he says he must
focus on addressing childcare fraud allegations in the state rather
than campaigning.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh now he decides to focus upon that.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
So he's say he was a leading candidate for reelection.
I guess Senator Amy Klobuchar, she's reportedly considering entering the
governor's race. That would be interesting, that would be very interesting.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
So Tim Walls.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Reminds me he's like the slimy dude.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well he's a slimy dude. He's also a bumbling buffoon.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, I see that, and I say.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
That thinking back to some of his you know, during
the presidential run, his appearances, like he would come out
on stage and like, you know, wave his arm like
one of those inflatables at a car lot with their arms.
I mean, he just I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, and then he tried to be something he wasn't.
He wanted to be the everyman and he's not new
you know, like he's probably a guy that can't walk
and chew gum, you know, like they showed him. I
guess the one time he was like loading a rifle
when he was just doing everything wrong. Yeah, and you know,

(06:50):
here's a guy and I'm not saying that you have
to be everybody has to be athletic, but you you know,
you should be able to throw a ball or catch
a you know, catch a I mean, if you want
to be the everyday man, you know, you gotta be
able to catch a football or throw a baseball. I
just I just picture him good at a Twins game,
throwing out the first pitch and throwing at about eight

(07:11):
feet into the dirt and just going straight down.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well it's kind of it's like a two year old
to throw a ball, eh, that kind of Yeah. Well,
It kind of goes back to the video where he
was working on his truck in the Camo baseball hat. Yeah,
it's like, okay, people.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
He would know a spark plug from a lug nut.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, and and not that I would either, but it
was just kind of like, really, do you think Middle
America is this dumb right oblivious to fall for this?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, you know you have like so here he is
working on his car. Like I said, he doesn't know
the difference. I don't know the difference. I mean I do,
but I mean I'm just saying I don't know. I
can't work on my car. I mean I could at
one point in time before they before cars modern, I
could at least change the oil in my car. I
don't even try anymore because they hide the field or
wherever you got to get to. It's a project. So

(08:07):
but like I'm looking at this guy, don't pretend just
say hey, look, I don't know. I'll be the first
person to admit, Look, I couldn't change the wheel with
my g break now off I wanted to, but and
I'm going to admit that to you. So that's why
I pay somebody to do it.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You know, you're laying Yeah, you know, I.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Know what my limitations are, and you.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Know the right people to reach out to.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, and there's times, I mean, I understand, there's times
you push yourself. Maybe you go into you go into
unfamiliar territory and you try to you learn. There's nothing
I'm constantly learning. You're constantly learning. Everybody's constantly learning because
you're adapting to changes in your environment. But he just like,
he just made it look so uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well that and I think the people behind the scenes
sort of sett him up in a way.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, I mean I think they were. They tried to.
They were like, hey, look, we need to make you
look more like this.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
And even though you just got to say, no, that's
not me right, let me let me go with what
I'm comfortable with.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah. So yeah, it'll be interesting to follow.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
It'll be interesting to see if he does jail time.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Now what is he he was expecting a year ago?
He thought he'd be sitting in a cushy VP house
seven point fifteen. That's what that music means, means it's
time for us to go to a break. You're listening
to the bloom Daddy experience, Sam and Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA seven twenty one. Here on news Radio

(09:53):
eleven seventy WWVA. I'm Sam, He's Otis. Of course, thank
you for tuning in the bloom Daddy Experience. Otis. We
got an email from Randy.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
It says that always makes me nervous in.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Regards to Tim Walls, and I was making my hand
jet which nobody can see, off course because we're on radio.
He said he has jazz Hams. That's a good way
of of explaining it.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, that's probably one of Randy's shortest emails he's ever sent.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, yes, so I concur Randy. That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
You know, there was something what was it? There was
some coin they said something about It was like Walls
balls or something where you know how he doesn't have
any at all. Yes, and uh yeah, just I can't
remember the quote, but it was just it was it
just for some reason that just popped into my head.
You know, there was something I was going to bring
up to start the show with you, because we're about

(10:48):
a weekend to January, and we're a weekend to twenty
twenty six. When do you stop saying happy New Year. Oh, like,
is there an etiquette for it? Because like I like,
I was out and about yesterday and I had like
two or three people say hey, happy New Year. Now

(11:08):
it's first time I've seen them. Yeah, okay, I kind
of get that, but like, like, do you stop like
tomorrow because you're you're a week in, Like, like you
don't go to the end of the month and go, hey,
happy New Year.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Now probably by like Friday, like the first full week
back to work.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I mean, I don't know if there's any etiquette.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I'm guessing here, but I never thought about I've never.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Like I was like, because I'll be honest with you.
So in my other job, so you know, one of
the things we do is I do our routine inspections.
So you go in and you know, you scan the
license and you check a few things and you do this,
and as I'm leaving, I would say, hey, have that.
Most most people say hey, hey, have a nice day,
blah blah blah. Yeah, and what I would say would

(11:57):
last week on Monday and Tuesday, I said, well, hey,
happy new Year, Happy New Year, because I know I'm
not going to see him again until because it's not
like we do those every day did to play so,
and but then like after New Year's Day and on
think I said it at all? And then but then
I had a couple of people say it to me yesterday,

(12:18):
and I'm like, well, for five days in I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Think I I don't even know if I ever actually
say it, I don't know, you know. I usually say
I hope you had a good holiday season, and then
I kind of lump everything together, is the way I
present it.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, And so before Christmas I'll tell people, hey, have
a nice holiday, because I'm including Christmas and New Year's
in that. Or maybe you you celebrate something different, maybe
you celebrate hanak er Kwanza or whatever. But I don't
do it to be if I see if I know people,
sometimes I'll say hey, merry Christmas or you know, blah blah.

(12:54):
But if I don't know you, normally I'll just say hey,
have a nice holiday, and that's I'm encompassing of holidays
and the week.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yes, so you're being inclusive to youse a wo word.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Well, I think I'm just combining the two without saying,
Hey Mary, Christmas. I'm not a Christmas card, you know,
it's not Hey Mary Christmas, and hey, have a happy
new Year, right, but you know, because I'm not going
to tell you happy New Year on December eighteenth. But
I just that's for some reason that popped into my
mind yesterday and I was it just was to me,
it felt awkward.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, isn't it weird? How random things?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
And it's after the second one. I said, you know,
I'm going to bring this up with Sandamar and see
if there's any etiquette.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm the last person to ask when it comes to etiquette.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well, and anybody that knows you knows that you are
like crime show. Oh yes, Officionado, like you know, you're
you're you're actually we joked about this morbid, but you're
actually probably plotting to kill your at some point in time.
You're just looking how that you can get away with it.

(14:03):
You're taking in all these shows as information.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
So what you're saying is etiquette is not on my Yeah,
probably not my top.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
But I think your doppelganger has been caught. Oh yeah.
Her name is Susan Erica Avalon. She's fifty one years old.
She faces second degree homicide charges after authorities say that
she killed two former husbands in separate Florida counties within
hours two birds on stone No. Manatee County Sheriff Rick

(14:36):
Wells said deputies found a fifty four year old man
with gunshot wounds at his Heritage Harbor home. When asked
who's shotting, he said, possibly my ex wife, before dying
at a hospital. His fifteen year old daughter, also Avalanche child,
witnessed the attack and saw a masked person leaving in

(14:57):
a silver Honda Odyssey lovely. So police later found Avalone
cleaning the same mini van with bleach at her Citrus
County home. All right, now, this is where it gets uh.
When told they wanted to discuss her ex husband, she
allegedly asked which one, and that prompted a welfare check

(15:19):
that revealed that her other former spouse was shot dead
in Tampa, only in Florida. Well, or it could be.
It could be the same chronicles, except you don't have
two husbands. No, no, I do not yeah, or you

(15:39):
don't have any xes yet?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
No one is enough? One is enough? Yikes, yikes.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
But yeah, just the police, I want to ask you
a question about your ex husband? Which one?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Now? Now, all of a sudden, how convenient that she
was cleaning out the mini van with bleach when they
rolled up to the house for a visit.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Has she not watched any c s I like the
bleach isn't gonna do it?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Nope, Nope, because that's the immediate signifier of.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
It.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Sounds like bleach.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Well, and you're still not going to get rid of
it all. No, the best thing she could have done
was blow the mini van up, torched it.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Probably, Yeah, from what I've.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Watched, she could have said, we're like giving advice on
how to get away with crimes.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Happy Tuesday, folks.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, dows it with dows it with gasoline and then
throw a match at it. Then then you destroy the
evidence and reported stolen.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yes, don't stand too close.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
So you know we did. We just helpful hints from us.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Hey, coming up next, I have a question for you.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Okay, we also have an interview coming up. Tell me
we do?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
We do? We have two gentlemen, Butch and Justin that
are coming in to tell us about Robert Burns. Now,
this is something new that I've just learned about. But
we're gonna get into who Robert Burns was and why
we're celebrating him because there's an event happening, and we're
going to talk about the event but also some history.
And the event is actually happening at the Scottish Rite facility,

(17:10):
so we'll get an update on that particular facility because
it goes back to a prior night Rosby. Yeah, a
prior story that we had a couple of years ago.
So a lot of things on tap. We will be back.

if you want to get in on a conversation, of course,
you can call us one eight hundred and sixty four
eleven seventy or you can text us seven zero four
seven zero. Start the message off with bloom Daddy so otis.
Before the break, I mentioned basically, who would you deport

(18:51):
out of the country. Here's why I asked this. So
there is a petition that is calling, that is circulating,
and it's calling on the deportation of Nicki Minaj. Okay,
there's now over tens of thousands of signatures and the
petition is currently circulating on change dot org. And it

(19:15):
began December twenty seventh. Here's why can you even begin
to guess based on that date?

Speaker 3 (19:23):
What was the date?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Again?

Speaker 2 (19:24):
December twenty seventh, off hand though, well, it was right
after she had the sit down conversation with Erica Kirk
and she was high five. There's a picture out there
of her high fiving Erica.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Kirk Nicki Minaj uh huh.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yes, she did the interview she didn't do the interview,
but she's had a conversation.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
With Erica Kirk because I was like, I don't remember
nick I Menage doing an interview, but okay, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
And.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
She she did an appearance on Turning Point USA during
America Fest, which was on December twenty first, so it
all kind of ties in together. I didn't know, is
Nicki Minaj from another country. I don't think she is.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Is she?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
I mean, who knows? But I think it's funny that
because somebody has, especially a celebrity, has found some oh
what I want to say, points of agreement with somebody
from the more conservative side of the aisle, that it's like, nope,

(20:36):
get them out, and she's been blackballed from Hollywood and
everything else. They're going after her because and I don't
think and I don't want to put words in her mouth.
I don't think she agrees with every particular political topic,
but there are some topics that she has found agreement

(20:56):
with and she has acknowledged that, especially during this appearance.
And now it's like they're done, you know, yeah. So
but that goes back to my original question, who would
you deport if you could celebrity? Wise, just for fun,

(21:17):
just for fun.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Like, do they have to be an immigrant or can
I just pick somebody in general?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, it doesn't have to be an immigrant. I don't
even know if Nicki Minaj is an immigrant. Let me look,
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
If I was gonna if I had to deport one person. Oh,
there's a couple I could think of offhand, but nobody
would know who they were. Let's see here, somebody famous.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh she's from Trinidad. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, I mean I don't know who I would deport.
I mean, you know, but I'd like there were people
out there like Gavin Newsom and burn. Why don't we
just go with the mayor of New York.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh okay, that's not a bad one. That's not a
bad one. First one that into my head and now
it's gone, Robert de Niro, he popped.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
That was the first one that popped into my head too.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Really, yeah, Robert de Niro or the entire table of
the view.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh yeah, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I mean they could all fit and coach.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Most of them.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Put the table in the undercarriage. I think it would work. No,
But I just found that I found that that comical,
that it, you know, the people again just because somebody
agrees with particular points from the other side, like you know,
we want you gone, we want you go.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
But it's like the whole Maduro thing. Everybody's you know,
the whole left is up in arms about it. But
yet it's Joe Biden put a twenty five million dollar
price tag on his head, you know, I wanted as
a as a criminals. Trump goes in and gets him.
Oh my god, you can't do this. What do you want?
You can't have your cake and eat it too, you know,

(23:03):
you know, and how many we did it with Manuel Noriega,
you know, back in the day. It's not this isn't
the first time something like this has happened. But no,
the reason it's caused such a stirs because Donald Trump
was the one that did it.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Right right well, And that's that's where the officials are saying.
You know, he didn't didn't get permission but from Congress.
And when this all happened late last week, that was
my first question was how is he doing this without
the approval And then come to realizing it in particular
circumstances that approval was not needed and he is not

(23:42):
the first to do this. I have an entire list.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah, so you know, I mean I think it was
Bush that did it with Noriega, you know, I mean
you just look at some of the I mean, I
can't think of how many of them there were. But
you know, again, if Joe Biden put a twenty five
million dollar price tag, you know, a bounty on Maduro's
head on a wanted poster, well, and of course Trump

(24:10):
and and in the military, you aren't going to get
to twenty five million. That's not how that works. You know,
that was for like a citizen getting them. But why not? Well,
and where was that twenty five million coming from? That's
the other thing.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, but if you if you look at some of
the verbiage being used, you know, invasion and things like that,
it was like, no, this was one of the most
precise military operations we've ever done.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, I've heard, I heard, I heard a there was
a there was a radio interview yesterday with a former
Navy seal and I heard, you know, he's like, you
don't you don't understand the precision that goes into something
like this, because not only do you have you know,
you have to get you have to get the people

(24:59):
on the ground. So they were talking about how there
were fighter jets that were off that were flying in
as protection. You cover, you have basically like Huey's or
black Hawks or something, you know, some sort of a
some sort of a propeller generated and then you have

(25:20):
to get into the place where he is and get
in and get out without any incident. And he said,
you did not understand the precision and everything that goes
the planning and everything that goes into that. And then
like Schumer saying, well, why weren't we briefed because you're
probably gonna leak it, you.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Dumb right right, Well, and think about this. This was
the president sitting in a I don't think the word
palace is the right terminology, but a pretty well guarded compound.
This wasn't somebody in a tent in the desert somewhere
in the Middle East.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
This was or but I mean, you go back to
when Obama got Ben Lauden. Now Ben Lauden wasn't a
leader of a country per se, right, but he was
just as bad as a criminal, sure all you know,
I mean, he you know so, And it's the same
type of procedure you know, and you get out, you
escape with no no American casualties, you know, nobody left behind,

(26:22):
no loss of equipment, no not you know, to pull
this off was pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, yep. We're going to talk about the
legalities of how that went down tomorrow during Politics Unleashed,
because this story continues to grow and grow and grow
as we learn more and more about it, so we
will get into that tomorrow. It's seven forty five. You're
listening to the bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio,
eleven seventy w w VA. Well the back, it's seven

(27:01):
forty nine, The Bloomdaddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio, eleven
seventy WWVA. A couple of local things want to put
out there for you, so everybody is in the know.
Governor Patrick Morrissey says tax cuts are a top priority
for the new legislative session starting January fourteenth. He's proposing

(27:22):
an additional five to ten percent cut in personal income taxes.
The governor says West Virginia can afford more tax relief
because state revenues are running one hundred and twenty eight
million dollars ahead of projections. Good for good for the
state of West Virginia. Morrissey says he'll work with the
leaders to deliver immediate tax relief while maintaining fiscal responsibility again.

(27:47):
The legislation legislative session re begins January fourteenth. Also, West
Virginia authorities are investigating the discovery of a body yesterday
in the Ohio River. The victim was found just before
eight thirty am near the I four seventy bridge in Belaro, Ohio.
The body was discovered near the Ohio shore of the river.

(28:09):
But in the West Virginia jurisdiction, no cause of death
has been determined. And I do know that the body
has been sent for an autopsy and uhent to Charlestown
and identification.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Also could take several days or weeks or weeks.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right and then also we mentioned this yesterday, but what
of just reminds you donations are needed for a family
that was impacted by a weekend house fire in Smithfield, Ohio.
Closed shoes and basic household needs are in demand by
the family. Three people were killed in the blaze. Again
that happened in Smithfield, So anything that can be given

(28:49):
for help would be very much appreciated. So otis. We
were talking about Tim Walls earlier in the show on
our text line, which, by the way, seven zero four
seven zero is that text line started off your message
with bloom Daddy. We got this one. It says, Tim

(29:10):
Walls reminds me of the Catholic priest who gets transferred
from parish to parish every other year and nobody wants
to say why. I thought that was pretty good, so
thank you to that person. One thing that has come
out talking about Tim Walls and Minnesota and the fraud
and the nine billion dollars and everything that goes into that.

(29:32):
Nick Shirley, which who is the young man that we
mentioned yesterday, the independent journalist, is now getting a lot
of folks coming after him, according to his statement or
his conversation that he had with Riley Gaines on her

(29:53):
new podcast that is starting. It amazes me that listen,
this young man put together a forty some minute video
exposing billions of dollars being stolen from taxpayers, and people

(30:18):
are mad at him exposing this.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Well, the criminals are mad, but the leftist, oh, they're
absolutely horrified because it shows that how and listen, I'm
sure there's some fraud going on on both sides.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh absolutely, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
This just exposes you know, and it's under the Democratic
leadership of Minnesota and everything. So I mean there's a
lot of this. This this caught the left right handed.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Oh yeah. I just I don't understand the mentality of
somebody who finds a way to defend this. I mean,
as you said, it doesn't matter what side is doing
the wrong. Bad is bad, fraud is bad, stealing is bad.

(31:08):
I'm pretty sure mom and dad taught you as a
little one you don't take what doesn't belong to you.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Well, not only that, but you're you know, these Somali
learning centers, they're funneling that money to basically terrorist organizations.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Who hate us. Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
So in other words, you're allowing us US to pay
for whatever their their weapons, their training or whatever, and
you're letting it go and you're saying, WHOA, this wasn't
as bad, but yeah, it is bad. Yeah, And if
it would have been, if it would have been let's
just say, in West Virginia and you have the Republican

(31:52):
governor and the Republican US senators and they're behind it,
then they should be they should be called out it's
it's not a matter of politics, it's a matter of
you know.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
It's right and wrong.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Well, not only that, but let's let's think about what
we're doing here. Yeah, we don't. We don't want to
fund our enemies knowingly.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Right. Well, and in the fact, again going back to
the young journalist Nick Shirley, it's it's what he is
now experiencing the backlash is it's the perfect example of
don't shoot the messenger.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Well, the guy ought to be up for an award
for what he did.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, yeah, because he's not.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Dependent, he's he's not a journalist, you know, but he
deserves whatever the award is. I mean, I know, in
in print media you have the pulature and so on
and so forth that and you know, there's all kinds
of different awards out there, and there's so many of them.
Like in radio, he could get the Edward R. Murrow Award,
you know, or maybe TV too, but I mean that's

(32:54):
like an investigative journalist type thing.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Well, and this goes back to and we've talked about
this many times, the the the positives and the negatives
excuse me, of social media. There's a lot of negatives,
but this is a great example of something positive. I mean,
here's here's a young man who does not work for
traditional media, is not doesn't have his hands tied behind

(33:19):
his back because he has to fall in line with
Kurt tailing to a certain side of the aisle. If
he was with traditional media and the time the effort
and did the work and exposed what was going on,
and he used the platform available to him to get
it out there. And again that goes back to there

(33:42):
are positives to it too, And this is a great
example of that of using the power of social media.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yeah, I mean, there's we were One of the things was,
I was in a little meeting last night and we said,
you know, you have to keep some stuff off social media.
And the one guy said social media is evil. And
I'm like, okay, you know, I get where you're coming from,
but you know it's not one hundred percent evil.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yes, yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
There there's there's so many and now with AI, there's
so many AI generated stories that you don't even know
if they're true or not, you know, and and and
then and you'll find little glitches in the story because
and that tells you that it's a I generating Yeah,
you know, so you know, are they true? Who knows?

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Well, I mean, and what they can do with the
video and everything.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Well, they got those videos now where they have like
the younger version of say Sylvester Stallone that sits next
to the current version of Sylvester Stallone and then the
conan the barbarian Arnold Schwarzenegger again today today's Arnold's I mean,
that's what and they do that they go back to
the eighties or go back to the nineties. I've seen
you know, some of them are neat to watch. I mean,

(35:02):
I don't put a lot of stock into them.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
No, Like I was once twenty one years old, and
it does the whole chronologia.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Well, the one that when I was scrolling through yesterday,
there was one that was like it was the cast
of Beverly Hills nine oh two one zero. So it
had them when they were on the show, and then
what they looked like today or in the case of
the ones that have passed away, what they would be
projected to look like today.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah. So uh, independent journalist Nick Shirley, I salute you.
I would shake your hand if I met you, because
you did the work.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Yep, is he twenty one.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I think he's twenty two. Okay, so just just there.
He's just there. It's seven. I'm sorry, it's seven fifty eight.
You're listening to the Blue Daddy Experience Sam and Otis,
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, se.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Number one talk show in the Ohio Alley. This this
no 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 (36:14):
Welcome back. It is the top of the hour, eight
oh sixth The bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis, News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. All right, Otis, we're gonna learn
something this morning. There's a first all right, joining us
in studio, we have Butch Brown along with Justin Sindorf
of the Robert Burns Supper. Now I am just learning

(36:37):
about this event, but also this is part of the
Scottish Right right here in downtown Wheeling. So guys, first
of all, thank you for coming in this morning.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
You're very welcome. Thanks.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
So let's touch real quickly on the Scottish Right and
what it that organization is Okay.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
The Scottish right is it's a part of the Freemasonry organization.
So we have our own building on fourteenth eighty three
fourteenth Street, and so that's basically it just it's an
extension of the Masonic Fraternity.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Okay, Scottish radius, yes, And I've actually had the opportunity
to tour that facility. It is a beautiful, huge facility.
And I don't want to go down this path too quickly,
too long, but the Scottish rate has been notorious the
past couple of years. You now just clarify for our

(37:34):
listeners because we of course covered everything that happened and
nice I said, we're not going to get into that,
but you now have full ownership returned to the organization. Correct, correct, correct, Okay,
And how is the facility? What are you doing? What
is the future plans with a facility?

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Well, first of all, we're having an event some fact,
this is Robert Burns event is one of the big
events that we're going to have. We're trying to keep
the building going. It was sold because of not being
able to financially keep it open and the last after
we got it back then we've done everything we could
to keep it going. And we've done a lot a

(38:16):
lot on financing. We've got we know where our money's
going now, and so we're just going to move forward
and we're hoping to keep the building and use it
as an event center to help finance it.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Okay, So when you say event center, justin that means
hopefully if somebody wants to rent the facility safeer, a
reception or that is one source of that you're using
it for.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Okay, yeah, yeah, and then we do.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
We're developing some ideas to have it open to the
community as well. So it was a Scottish Right, it was.
It was really for Scottish Right. That's why it was built.
That's the reason it's there. I think it's what one
hundred and nine years old, and it was only out
of our hands for three or four years, so and
then we get it back. But up until that time
it was just for Scottish Right and a Masonic groups.

(39:07):
So the public has this idea that they're not allowed
in there still or something, and that's just not true.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
That veil of mystery has returned a little bit.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
Yeah, I mean, we've got our little spot that we
have for us, and then the rest of the building
is pretty much, you know, open to the public.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
So well, let's get into the Robert Burns Supper now.
But I'll throw this to you. Who is Robert Burns.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
Robert Burns was a famous Scottish poet from like the
seventeen hundreds, and he was also a freemason, so he
has a lot of his poetry refers to freemasonry. So
and then when he passed, his friends got together on
his birthday every year, which was January twenty fifth, and

(39:54):
had this big celebration supper celebration. So Justin's wife she
read up on it, and so then we decided to
try it.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
And last year was our first year and it was
just altered successful.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Oh good. So the event is happening January twenty fourth,
beginning at six o'clock. Is this is the cocktail Cocktail hour. Now,
this is open to anybody that would like to come
to the event.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Correct, Correct?

Speaker 5 (40:21):
All you really need to do if you and I think,
if you don't come to it, it's your loss.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I mean, it's just an unreal thing.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Let's go ask what makes this? You know, what is
what is special about the event?

Speaker 5 (40:33):
Well, first of all, it's it's it's we serve all
Scottish food. We have the McDonald pipe band from Pittsburgh
come down and we and we have pipers and drummers
from there. We have everything to Scotch infuse salted caramel
ice cream for dessert.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Okay, now you're speaking my language.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Yeah, so that's good.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
But all you need to do is go to right
rite right event center dot com and you can buy
your it's there and it'll and you actually see a
little bit about the building. It has all pictures from
throughout the building like a case. You're you know, want
to use it to rented venue down the road. That's
the thing to go to.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
And this is a celebration. This is not a meeting
per se. This is going to be fun. There's gonna
be entertainment, great food. You mentioned Scottish food. I've got
to ask my husband is Scottish. I'm gonna have Scotch eggs.
That's his absolute like he loves those things.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
I do too.

Speaker 6 (41:29):
But yeah, I don't think the men.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
We have has and we're gonna have has.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Okay American version of American version.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Of okay, Because haggis is what skin stomach lining or yeah,
so it's not that version.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
No, it's not allowed in the US. The actual hagis
so you will think it was in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Yeah, oh, okay, okay, sorry for everybody who's eating their
breakfast right now, But.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Isn't that's there?

Speaker 3 (41:57):
But it's not.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
There's other brisketting things. Yes, yeah, so let's you don't
get stuck with HAG.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, if you don't like, where's my pop tart? Right?
So again, the event is happening January twenty fourth. Now
this is fundraising, of course, and the Scottish Rite, in
your membership, of course, does a lot for the community
and then surrounding areas. Correct. Can you tell us a
little bit about what the group does do.

Speaker 6 (42:24):
Yeah, so, you know, we were engaged a little bit
in the flood relief last year. We didn't have as
many guys available as we'd hoped, you know, but we
were planning to do a lot more too, actually in
the future with the Knights of Saint Andrew, which is
a part of the Scottish Right as well, and that

(42:45):
brings in the younger guys. And we've got a guy
now that's sort of heading that up. One of the
younger guys he's what, I don't know, maybe twenty five,
twenty six, you know, so, but yeah, the idea is
to be involved with the community to bring them in
the doors, but not only that, for us to go
outside too. So you know, we're developing some of that

(43:09):
right now as we are kind of in a it
was in a tailspin when we lost the building. Nobody
knew what the plan was. So part of this just
getting woken up again, I guess if you will, and
getting involved again is getting the building back and finally
getting our feet under us.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
It's a little bit reinvigorate.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
Yeah, especially in East Wheeling too. You know, we really
love being a part of East Wheeling and trying to
you know, I want to develop a lot of programs
for kids to come into the building and do some
fun stuff and activities. And again that's that's a big
deal with some of the younger guys because they have
young kids and families and just.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Real quick, butch I'll thar this to you. If there
are people, you know, a gentleman out there listening that
would want to join the organization, are you accepting new members?

Speaker 5 (43:57):
Well that you have to join what we call Blue Lodge,
which is a basic freemasonrything, okay, and then then the
next step, once you become a Freemason, then you can
join move up into the Scottish Right. So if you're
out there in your freemason and you're interested in joining
the Scottish Right, just called three four two three three
three seven four seven.

Speaker 6 (44:17):
And even if you're not, you can you can approach
us and we might build a the other right track.
You know you'd have to. It's not just a direct
I gotcha right into the Scotish.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
And what does it do for you? For for people
who you know, like I kind of want to do
something like this, but I'm not sure, you know, how
does it fulfill you?

Speaker 6 (44:37):
It's a personal journey, honestly, it it you know what
it's done for. Butch is totally different than me. He's
been He's been in it since what eighty three eighty three,
and I've only been in it for I'm turning my
third year Oka, so I mean, but but it's it's
sort of one of those things. It's sort of like

(44:58):
borrowing from Alice in Wonderland.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
It's just deep.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
Is you want to go with the rabbit hole if
you will, because there's a lot of academic study, but
then there's a social aspect and there's travel. So if
you ask my wife what was done for me, it's
kept me out of the house two nights a week.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
There's that aspect of it too, ladies. So again, the
Rubber Birds Supper is happening January twenty fourth. Tickets are available,
but they are limited. So but just real quick, remind
everybody where to go to get tickets.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Okay, all you have.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
To do is go to write again rite eventcenter dot
com and it'll just go down to it and it'll
show you. It'll walk your way through buying tickets.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
And I will also share the QR code on our
social media so they can thank you directly. Get it,
you know, go that direction too. So and listen, if
you have cabin fever, here's something for you to do.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Yes, it's something I'm telling everybody out there Wheeling has
not seen this this before.

Speaker 6 (45:59):
I mean, this is all being killed.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Yeah, there'll be killed sold.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yeah, there's not like a man in a kilt.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
There's gonna be a lot of them in kilts, including
the two of us.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Yeah, that's great, that's right.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
So I was gonna say something. I'm gonna stop by.
All right, We're gonna we're gonna stop right there. But
you know, go enjoy the bagpipes, the kilts, the food.
It'll be a great night again. Happening at Genuine twenty fourth. Gentlemen,
thank you so much for your time this morning.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Salmon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy w w v A Hey, twenty one,
Welcome back to bloom Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio,
eleven seventy w w v a Otis. You'd look good

(46:48):
in a kilt.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I will not make a comment on that now, Okay,
I do have the knees for it.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
You do have some good knees. Exactly what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yeah, hey, you know what launches today? What launches now,
and it's something that you are absolutely one hundred percent
not interested in.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Oh good, Okay, I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
But bloom Daddy would be possibly because he does the
half a lot to whatever his coffee.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Order is for food drinks.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yeah, because Starbucks. They have announced their twenty twenty six
Winter menu. It launches today features four new beverages. They're
having protein drinks now. Oh so that's something new. The
caramel protein Latte and the caramel protein Macha Macha. Okay,

(47:49):
they joined the line up along with a new sugar
free caramel syrup that's going to remain permanently. So the
iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha and the ice Do Buy Chocolate
Macha I'll say debut this season.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Matcha tastes like grass.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Okay. I probably would not do mucha because I don't
know what it is. I may have ordered one one time,
like I don't do. I don't do Starbucks, but every
once in a while, like if I'm in Target, because
the Target here locally has the Starbucks in it, if
there's no line and there's one of their advertisements catches
my eye. Like they had an eggnogged latte or something

(48:25):
before Christmas, and I tried it. It wasn't bad, ye,
And then they had a pistachio something it was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
The world.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Yeah. I mean, it's not like I don't do Starbucks.
If I if I do coffee other than my K pods,
I hate to say this, but I do sheets and
I do that. I'm glad that they're doing the sugar
free caramel, because that's what I do if I if
I get one, I just.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
First of all, I'm not a coffee drinker.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Even if you would like a latte, you think, yeah,
I think if you did, if you did a latte,
I think you would like it.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Even this early morning.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
It's not very coffee.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Well that was one thing people told me, is you know,
once you start doing that five days a week, you're
going to start drinking coffee.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
I didn't drink I didn't drink coffee until ten years
ago when I started here and I was on obviously
WVK at.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
The time and doing the early shift and.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Doing in the morning's like here, and I was like,
you know, I just need it. I was, you know,
I was drinking iced tea and it really wasn't and
I said, I'm going to try it. Because as I
was walking down the aisle one time in the coffee
out I think it may be Walmart or someplace, and
they had a coconut coffee or a blueberry coffee, and
I said, I'm going to try that. So I spent

(49:42):
the five or six bucks on a little twelve pack
and it was like, this isn't bad. And then it
was like, this is this is better than I thought.
This is pretty good, and we went from there and
then the next thing, you know, it's gone to five
cups every morning, or four or five cups every morning.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
And thus the hooks landed.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Yeah. I mean I've probably drank. I drank more coffee
in the last ten years than I did it in
an entire lifetime.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Oh, I'm sure I know people who they stop every
morning for coffee. And I get it, people treat themselves.
But for the five, six, seven, eight dollars a copper whatever,
some of those fancy things are I just financially, I'm like, no.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
My mom is a coffee hollock and has been for
as long as I've been on the earth. Okay, And
she said she started teaching right out of college. So
she started I think at Harper's Ferry High School in
nineteen sixty two. I'm sure she's happy that I said that,

(50:45):
but she said that she didn't know anything, like she
just she was kind of like nervous her first day
and all the teachers were drinking coffee, so she just
got one.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
She followed the crew.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, and she's she's been on it ever since. Now
she has since gone to decaf and everything else. But
like every because again her birthday is December twenty second,
so it's a couple of days. So every year for
Christmas and her birthday, she gets like I think I
got her one hundred K pods for Christmas, different flavors
of decaffeinated coffee. And I'm thinking to myself, I understand,

(51:19):
you know why you want to decaffeinated, but I like,
I can't do decaffeinated. It kind of for me, it
defeats the perpose.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
What's the purpose then, Yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
That's you know, you know who else is huge on coffee,
and there's like the Kevin Yeah he does like he
does the coffee that's got so much caffeine and it's
really almost expressed though, because he drinks about six or
seven cups. Well, when we check in with him today,
we'll see how many cups of coffee he does. Like
Black Rifle Coffee Company, which is like, oh, I've heard

(51:53):
about like it's a super.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Strong Yeah, I've heard about that one.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
I think my son does. My son's got all kind
of black rifle gear, like he's got half and sweats paraphernalia. Yeah,
swag as we'll call it.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
We need some swag.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
That'd be a good idea.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
We need some swag.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
May We were talking a little bit earlier about AIM,
you know, and on social media and everything. You know,
who's employing AI now, police departmentsocop coming. I know they're
doing it to help with some of their reports. Oh yeah,
So the Heber City Police Department during Utah, their software

(52:33):
incorrectly stated in a police report that an officer had
been turned into a frog. So I guess the body
cam software and the AI report writing software picked up
on the movie that was playing in the background, which
happened to be The Princess and the Frog. So Sergeant
rikkeel He told Fox thirteen News that's when we learned

(52:55):
the importance of correcting these i AI generated reports. That
the department began using Draft one and Code for AI
programs in December to automatically generate reports, which is not
its from the bodycam for them.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
And despite the mishap, he said that the part the
department is going to continue using the tech because it's
saving them about six to eight hours a week in
report writing.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Except for the poor frogs.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
Well you know you'll have that. Well yeah, but you
know it takes I guess what it's doing is it's
taking the camera, the footage from the bodycam and what
they're saying, and it's transposing. Yeah, and it's doing it yeah.
And I guess it's doing it faster than they could
type the report themselves. So, I mean, the only thing
is obviously you're going to have to prove it before

(53:46):
you submit it because you don't know what the AI
is picking up.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Well, I guess if it alleviates time for officers and
they're not stuck doing busy work and can be out
on the streets more, I mean there's the positive.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
That's I mean, that's what it. I'll be honest with you.
A lot of times, the thing that takes up the
most time for us when we get a violation or
something is the report with the paperwork.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Yeah, the behind the scenes stuff. Huh, well, ribit.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Ribbt somebody beary kissing.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Yeah, it's a twenty eight. You're listening to the Blue
Daddy Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA Ay
thirty six. Welcome back to the Blue Daddy Experience salmon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA Otis. We touched a

(54:37):
little bit earlier on football, But I gotta ask you this,
do you think, uh think Kelsey's done? I think he's
played his last game. People are kind of speculating because
he wore I don't know, if you saw on Sunday,
he wore like all black, almost as if like, no, I.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Mean, I don't know. I mean, how old is he?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
He's thirty thirties. I mean, I think I don't know
off the top of my head.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
You know, here's here's what i'd look at with like
the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, and I know there
are a lot of people out there that are glad
they didn't make the playoffs and everything else, because you know,
success breeds hate, and you know, they they did have
a good run. But I was thinking about this earlier

(55:22):
when we were talking about Cleveland and quarterbacks and everything else.
And there's a story out of West Virginia not but
just that they signed a four star quarterback that he's
transferring in from Oklahoma, Michael Hawkins junior. He committed to
WU yesterday. And where I'm going with that is you

(55:42):
could have Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, whoever. You think the
greatest quarterback of all time, Dan Marino, John Elway. You
could have anybody in that backfield. If they don't have
an offensive line blocking for him, they're not anything. And
if you look at the Chiefs this year, basically they're
They're entire offensive line was decimated with injuries. By the

(56:03):
time game nine or ten year old round every there
wasn't a starting offensive lineman in the lineup. They were
all out yep. And so I mean, I think you
and I'm not saying that the second team or you know,
their their replacements aren't as but there there's their reason
they're the backup, correct. Yeah, you know, so there's a

(56:25):
lot of different things that come into play with that.
And you know, that's where I was kind of going
to WU again. You could have the greatest quarterback in
the world if you don't have a line, which they
didn't have a great line this year, it doesn't matter.
You could have You'd have Pat White, who was a
WU legend back there, and he's not gonna he's not
going to be the legend because he doesn't have anybody
blocking for him.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Well, and that's where a lot of people get blinded
by the the you know, the the position of quarterback,
and it's like, no, no, no. The only reason he's
able to accomplish what he accomplishes is because of the
guys in the trenches.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
As they say, I mean, and Patrick Mahomes is probably
a little bit different because he's a scrambler too. Yeah,
you know, and I think that comes into play a
little bit. You don't necessarily have to have the greatest
offensive line, but you still have to have a good
offensive line. And I think Travis Kelce, going back to
your original question, could possibly be looking at things like

(57:24):
do we have a shot, kind of like the Gronkowski
You know, if I've got a shot to win another ring,
then I'm probably gonna stick around. If not, why am
I going to abuse my body. I've made my money.
I'm marrying in the money.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
As I say. Yeah, he has a woman too.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
That you know that I think she you know, she
has a pretty good payday, yeah every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Well and then he's got that really successful podcast with
his brother and yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Before we get into some more football, I just want
to mention it depends they're basically enjoying a little small
break break. They face off against Jasper Bratt and the
Devil's at home Thursday night. Pittsburgh has won five in
a row, and of course you can catch that game
on our sister station. You can one oh seven to five.
Looking at the NFL playoffs, and of course I follow

(58:18):
enough of the I don't watch the NFL, but i'll
follow it in news articles and stories and clips and
things like that. I'm looking at the playoff picture, and
the NFL's playoffs are like, let's just throw the teams,
get your first round, and then after that we're just
gonna throw everything in a hat and mix it up.

(58:39):
I mean, I know they reseed them and that's not
how it works. But after the first round each there's
eleven possibilities of what could happen in the next round
instead of just why not take the bottom two teams?
So take your seven and eight seed? Is that right now?
Or you're eight and nine seed because somebody gets eliminated,

(59:00):
you know, to get it down to four teams. Yeah,
there's nine teams that make the playoffs because one team
has a buye. So because there's one, two, three, four, five, six,
so there's six games three.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
So anyway, okay, I'm looking at the brackets now, yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
So it but you take the bottom two, let them
play each other, and then they play the number one seat,
and then after that just do a traditional seating. You
know what they do now is you play the first
round and whoever the worst seat is that moves on
plays the number one seed. Oh so basically they receive Yeah,

(59:40):
so if five beats two, then number three moves to
the two spot. You see, you see what I'm saying,
or however you want to say it, but I'm looking
at the at the playoff picture. So you have two
game Saturday, three games Sunday, and then a game on Monday,
which is the Steelers in the Texans like the play
off shouldn't be played on Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Well, the last game of the season wasn't until eight
o'clock on Sunday, which was annoying.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Yeah, they well they don't. They don't have Monday night
football in week eighteen because because of the playoffs, because
they don't want somebody to get playing on Monday night
and then they're scheduled for a Saturday game.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Yeah, they need a break, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
They at least so if you play Sunday and then Saturday,
that still gives you your six days. If you play
Sunday Sunday, now the Steelers are going to have a
little more time because they don't play until Monday, the
Steelers in the Texans. But then they have a short
Whoever wins that game has a shorter week for the
next week. You know. If that's the case, put the

(01:00:41):
put the high the high you know, whoever the high
seed is on Monday, because the number one team should
have the advantage. That's the way it always works in
the tournament, right, Yeah, the higher seed always has the advantage. Right,
But I'm looking at the So you have Saturday and Sunday,
you have a game on or Saturday you have a
game on Fox at four thirty, then the late game

(01:01:02):
the Bears and the Packers on Amazon Prime. So if
you don't have Amazon Prime, your sol unless you probably
live in one of those markets. I'm sure somebody local
carries it. Oh, like a local affiliate.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Yeah, I don't know how probably.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
I think they have to in the in the in
the in the in the in the in the teams
that are playing they have and that's at I believe
that's at Chicago.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
So and again that's where the NFL is losing people.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Yeah, and then and then you go Sunday you have CBS, Fox, NBC, Okay,
no big deal, and then ESPN on Monday. Pretty much
everybody has ESPN at this point in time. But you know,
at least at least there's not one on Netflix. At
least there's not one on you know, some other pay service.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
You know, I can watch all the games except for
the two on Fox because I don't I don't get
a Fox channel. Oh you don't unless so like last
year to the Super Bowl, I think was on I
was on Fox, and the streaming service to Be picked
it up. You could watch it on You could watch
the super Bowl on t B. But I don't know
if you're gonna be able to watch the playoff games

(01:02:12):
on Tube.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Do we even attempt to pick winners?

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Not?

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
Not today, it's Tuesday, I know, but joke, we could
do that Friday we did so well that's okay. We
can show how consistently bad we are, but we can
do that. Yeah, you know, I mean, I mean it's
you know, obviously, you know, you if you go chalk,
you do the favorites because everybody's got the home teams. Yeah,

(01:02:38):
you know, the Panthers and the Bears are home, the
Eagles are home in the NFC, and then the Jags,
the Patriots, and the Steelers are the home teams this week.
So any team surprised you that made it like I
was surprised Seattle, I meant not not not following, I
mean following, but not watching. I didn't realize Seattle was

(01:02:58):
the number one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Seed't either, And I didn't realize they were going to
be that good this season because last couple of years
they've been pretty well.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Have you seen the stat that's popped up on Facebook
and every other social media platform about the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah.
So when Pope, when John Paul died and the new
Pope the Chicago came in, Seattle went to the Super
Bowl and lost to the Steelers. Oh okay, when the

(01:03:29):
next pope came in, Pope Francis, Seattle went to the
Super Bowl and won. This year, there's a new pope
in twenty twenty five. Seattle's the number one seed.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Do they go to the Super Bowl and do they
win or do they lose?

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Well, but like every time there's been a new Pope,
the Seattle Seahawks have gone through the last three the
last two.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Pope, there's something in the water up there in.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
The Holy water. Well you saw, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Did, the priests and the steelers the blessing. Yes, some
people are not happy about it. I'm like, listen, hey,
whatever it takes sometimes to get the win. I guess
you do. You do what you gotta do. I'll hold
it against him, not at all. It's eight forty five
on your Tuesday, The Blue Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio,
eleven seventy w w VA, eight fifty Welcome back to

(01:04:29):
the Blue Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio, eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Time to head up on the hill to Kevin Cook
and straw Bottomotive. Now. One of the questions we had
this morning, Kevin, we had a topic on coffee because
Starbucks has a new winter menu out, okay, and we
were talking about how you are like a coffee fiend
just a little bit. Yeah, And I said, like I said,

(01:04:56):
you're your coffee of choice at one time, I don't
know if it's the is was the Black Rifle coffee
it was?

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Yeah, But this morning I'm drinking There's a Louisiana company
called Community, Okay, and I order something called dark and
Bold with extra boost.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
So it's like it's like coffee with an energy drink
and a red Bull mixed in, right.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Yeah, something I like a really really dark black you
know they use chickory. You know it's fananiti is. It
really makes it give it a really rich, rich flavor.
So yeah, I'm a I'm a dark black coffee guy.
If I go to Starbucks, which I'm not a huge
Starbucks fan, I get what I get. What they call
it a double shot in the dark.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
Okays, dark coffee. Ye nothing like nothing like a little Joeldy.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
Caffeine or a lot of Jolt caffeine.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
You know what that's like. It's like getting hit by
a ram truck.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
All look at you in the sagway. That was awesome. Yeah,
Ram trucks. We've got a great selection ofer and we've
got what we've ran some of the year in clearance
pricing into twenty twenty six. Okay, they've extended some of
the low interest rates, like zero percent of they've extended
some of the discounts up to seventeen five hundred dollars

(01:06:21):
on ram trucks. So if you're in the market for
a ram truck. Today is a great day for you
to get out there and get online and see for
yourself how much you can say.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
I hope there it goes again. I know, Hey, it's
that time.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Yes, today it got prednizone and inhaler and and a body.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Oh jeez jeez. So it's going around everything can.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
To make it through today.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
We've all been there. We've all been there, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
And with that being said, I'm going to ease on
out before it get kicks in again.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
All right, buddy, have a good day. Hopefully you're better Thursday.
There it goes short and sweet. But he's got the
little coffee pop yeah, little coffee pooh. There's nothing worse
because he said he's had it for about two weeks
and the it's bad enough when you when you're down

(01:07:17):
and out, but when you have that like lingering cough
that you just can't it's like a dry cough, but
you just it just you have that itch in the
back of your throat and it just hangs on. I
think bloom Daddy had it last year for a little bit.
I think I had it last year, and it just
seems like you're like, Okay, this will go away. In
a couple of days, and then it hangs on and

(01:07:39):
hangs on and hangs on, and it's just like, good God,
when is this going to end? Well?

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
And you know it, once you start coughing, you're not
gonna stop. And if you're out in public, people look
at you like you have the plague.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
And they're like, you're the COVID guy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny you say that because over
the weekend my mom sent me a text and said,
it's really really bad cold season. You know, every time
you go out, wash your hands and you know, be
extra diligent.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
Before the show started, they on Fox News they had
states that had the big flu outbreak, and it was Ohio.
It wasn't West Virginia and Pennsylvania, but it was Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky.
I mean, it was like everything around the southern around US,
the western southern part of the state. But and then
maybe Maryland too, So I mean it was like Pennsylvania,

(01:08:27):
West Virginia, and like one other state maybe New Jersey,
New York somewhere, and there wasn't because it just it
flashed on and flashed off because I only looked at
it for a second. But it's just like, okay, well
we're not in the flu outbreak state yet, we're.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Just bordering it, just bordering it. You know, we haven't
we haven't visited lately. Well we did a little bit ago. Florida.
Oh okay, but another crazy story out of Florida. I
would I'll tell you what. The the sheriff's departments in
the different counties in the state of Florida. I got
to give him credit because they have at this point

(01:09:06):
they just have fun with it now, like they put
up videos and stuff of their their news conferences about
their craziest most crazy arrest. Well, this one comes out,
and now there's a Florida man who has been arrested.
But while he was being arrested, he was wearing a
red lace bra I'm not done, a G string and

(01:09:35):
a silicone set of tatas.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
I didn't realize blue Dad. He went to Florida for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
But he was packing under the tatas he was concealing
the weapon. So yeah, you know, at this point in time,
you can't make this stuff up. I just wonder why
he decided to go with red instead of black, and
you know where the.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
Thought, Well, okay, he could have gone red and green, yeah,
like or maybe he was matching well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Okay, yeah, yeah he was. According to him, it was
caught in the driveway outside of a costume party. Yeah,
that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
That's what Blue Daddy always said.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Huh, it was a costume party.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
Okay. You know it was funny because like bloom Daddy
was in the lip Sync challenge and did a Pat
Benatar and came out as Pat Benatar and everything else.
It's not like he had he has those clothes in
his closet.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
He didn't have the special order.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
No, no, he didn't. I mean it wasn't. He didn't
really have to go too far to find out what
he wanted. Are you a fan of the McRib?

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
No I questioned what it is?

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Yeah, well obviously there's somebody else questioning it too. Because
McDonald's has been accused of false advertisement. The Chicago based
fast food chain is being sued for offering the mcgrib
sandwich even though the meal doesn't have pork rib meat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Oh shocker.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Yeah. The suit also says that the mcgrib is one
of the most expensive options on the restaurant's menu, despite
the meat used as lower quality cuts McDonald's officials released
the statement, saying the claims are inaccurate, and they say
the sandwich is made with I just but where's that
pork coming from. It's almost like pressed meat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Well, that's what I was gonna say. I've always because
there are people out there that they they put on
their calendars when the McRib is going to be on
the menu.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
There was a former employee here that they lived on
the mcgrib.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
I have always questioned what kind of meat is it?
If they actually have to stamp in sections that look
like where the rib bones would be. Yeah, that's the
definition of.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Mystery meats that tells you that it's pressed. I mean
it might be pork, it might be pork, but it's
probably pork scraps, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
It's just stuff that doesn't go in the hot dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
Well yeah, or yeah, or you know, it's like the
end cuts. And then they just kind of said, Okay,
well here's what we're gonna do. We're just gonna make
we'll sell this to McDonald's. Yeah. I'm not a big
fan of the mccrib. I like I like the taste,
I like the pickle I mean there's there's there are
some positives to it, but I don't go out of

(01:12:25):
my way to get one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
Yeah no, no me, neither me neither. So enjoy lunch, folks,
if you decide to have a McRib.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
I don't know if they're available yet. Oh I just
they were just McDonald's being sued about the McRib gotcha, gotcha?

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
False advertising, false advertising. Well we're not advertising this and
we're not faking it because we'll be back tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
We will talk to you then if you're interested. The
Mountaineers and basketball take on Cincinnati tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Oh that's tonight. What time? I don't know, probably seven, yeah,
probably alrighty On that note, we'll talk to you tomorrow
