Speaker 4 (02:47):
You always as a kid, I always liked Garfield just
because there was a cat named Garfield, and I would
pretend that they were the same. Right, we were led

favorite president is or was? All right, Before we get
to the I know you want to talk about the
dad jokes competition we've got, well, but I also want
to talk about some other things going on with your group.

(03:26):
For those who may not know, haven't heard you on
the show in the past, explain the west Side Neighborhood
Association to us.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, the west Side Neighborhood Association is and organization has
been around for thirty years. Whose neighbors coming together to
organize cleanups and celebrate the west Side, And so we've
kind of continued that model. We do organized cleanups. Sometimes
they're fun and they're free and we get the community together.
Other times we try to make them a little bit
more fun and have a magician on hand and charcooterie

(03:53):
and things like that. So we just try to organize
all these fun events bring people together. Swamp Meets, I mean,
we have a monthly social where people can come out
and find about resources that are on the west Side,
but also meet their neighbors and just take care of
some problems they might have in their community.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
And it's it's a good time.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
And it's open to anybody that lives on the west Side.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
When I lives on the west Side, Listen, if you
live on the East End and you want to help
us clean up, like, we're not going to turn.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
You, okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Or business owners, I mean, ye, all of it.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Everybody.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
We are.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
We are into building a big community because Charleston's not
that big of a place, so we all need a
rally together.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Have you been involved in the organization?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I feel like it's been two and a half years
at this year in April, it will be two years,
all right, two years?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
What was it they got you involved in this?

Speaker 8 (04:40):
Samantha Well, I live on the west Side. I love
I chose my house specifically because I wanted to live
on the west Side. And I do a lot of
work on the national and state level, but I really
wanted to feel connected to my local community. So what
better way than working for my neighborhood association?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
What is it that makes the west Side the best side?

Speaker 8 (04:59):
Is the same there are so many things that make
the West Side the best side, including honestly, it's the people.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Though.

Speaker 8 (05:05):
One of my first experiences, like even just touring the
neighborhood was how friendly everyone was, from the folks walking
on the street to people noticing that I was looking
for houses. They're like, this is a great place to live,
and they took the time to talk talk to me
about the neighborhood. And I'm just like, if people cared this.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
So you're not originally from Charleston, No.

Speaker 8 (05:23):
No, okay, I've lived here eight years though, Okay, so
all right, there's that.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well my point is is because a lot of people
that live in certain areas wherever it is, you know,
they said, well I grew up here whatever, But you
don't have that story. You know, you're not from here,
but but you chose the West So what about you, Naomi,
would you.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Grow up I grew up in a place called Nuanbag, Germany, Okay,
and then move here as a teenager, moved southern part
of the state.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And then what part of the southern because I'm a
southern Lincoln County, Oh yeah, Logan County. Practically neighbors or
cousins or both that.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Could be true, that could be Dating in high school
was difficult, lay enough fiery unions to.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Not related and suddenly goes off the rails in time
of the fun girls were here, all right, So you
got another dad jokes competition? Come up right now? Talk
about this this second year. You've done this, all right,
here's sure talk about it.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well, we moved it. Originally we had last year around June,
around Father's So we moved it because there's a lot
going on in this city in June and we didn't
want to put an additional strain on everybody. So, you know,
March is kind of aut like you're trying to get out.
Sun's coming out a little bit, there's some flowers, so
we got to do some things.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Sorry, and so and what is the date again?

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Saturday?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think you charged your microphone off over there?

Speaker 8 (06:38):
Yes, secrets Okay, Saturday, March twenty first, okay, And where's
it going to be.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's going to be at the Capitol Theater. So it'll
be one two three Summer Streets also known as Resurrection Church.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
All right, So what is it about this that I mean?
Obviously you did it last year and you had success
with what actually goes on there in the dad jokes competition.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Well, we have local folks, regular people off the tell
dad jokes. They come and they compete, and like, you
don't have to be a dad, because a dad is
a vibe. So like men and women, however you identify,
you're welcome as long so you can tell a corny joke,
we are here for it.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
We've kind of, I think, adopted that term dad jokes,
and basically it's just corny normally clean jokes. I mean
I don't think that they have to be, but normally
that's what they are. Yeah, that's a good dad joke,
good puns and things of that nature. How many people
did you participate? Last year?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
We sold out and then we had some folks that
got a little strange fright, so they didn't show up.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Yeah, we had some scaredy cats that I had booked
ten ten dad joke tellers and then suddenly five had
excuses the day of cold feet, so to speak. But
we did have five contestants and they made it a
really good show.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay, all right, so what do you look for in
somebody to participate on?

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Okay, well, so one thing to say, you mentioned clean
dad jokes that we do look for folks that are
willing to tell clean dad jokes, but innuendo is fine
because this is a family friendly audience.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
PG. Thirteen.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Yeah. PG thirteen is fine.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, kind of like think of The Muppet Show, right, like,
so the Muppets are for adults, but like the kids
are totally watching it because they're not understanding the inny
windows exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean, and I and I grew up, you know,
in that era when the Muppet Show was first on TV.
And uh, and you're right about that, because there were
a lot of jokes that you know, eight year old
Dave didn't necessarily understand. But I would watch it with
my grandfather and he he thought it was hilarious. And
then as I got a little bit older, it's like, okay, well,
you know that doesn't mean what I thought. It didn't
mean it's dirty or anything. It was just that where

(08:37):
there was just some you know, different different level.

Speaker 8 (08:39):
Yeah, there's a meaning tongue in cheek, weink and nod.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
We're talking to Nail, me and Samantha here from the
West Side Neighborhood Association with Dave Island Show on five
any Live is broad Toe am part by Bridge Valley
Community Technical College. This is Bridge Valley dot eedu Bridge
Valley Community Technical College. Your career starts here, all right?
So how do people sign up?

Speaker 8 (08:57):
So they can find on the event on Facebook and
link to our Google forum to sign up. It's very easy,
and then I review their application.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
All right, So what is on the Applicationcation's very simple.

Speaker 8 (09:08):
One of the things I am asking this year is
are you are you available? And are you willing to
perform in front of a live audience, because again some
people didn't realize, like the Capitol Theater is pretty grant
when you're on stage, so making sure you're willing for that.
But basically, they just need to tell me a joke,
give me their social media. Is that way I can

(09:28):
vet them and then I will give them a call
because they also need to see if they can handle
it okay.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, And I think that's very because we all know
those people that are funny. You know, you had that uncle,
you had that teacher, you know, coworker or whatever, but
doing it in front of people is a totally different thing.
I've always I mean I was always like the class
clown and surprise and all this and all this stuff.
But the first time I ever and I'm not a
professional stand up comic by any stretch of the imagination.
But I have done a few shows with other people

(09:55):
just because I wanted to, and I did it very
later in life. I just wanted to try it. It is,
I've only done four or five because I was like, okay,
I'm good. You know, that was a totally different world.
And plus having done this for thirty eight years, I'm
normally only looking at the people in the studio or
the people on the other side of the glass. I'm
not I get texts and I get phone calls and

(10:18):
so on and so forth, but there's no immediate feedback.
It's it's a little bit different, you know, when you're
when you're on stage. But the good thing about the
dad jokes thing is you don't necessarily have to bring
your own jokes. I mean, you can use other people's
if you want exactly, you.

Speaker 8 (10:34):
Can borrow, you can do your research. Notebooks are fine.
We're allowed notes on stage.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Again.

Speaker 8 (10:39):
Yeah, people aren't professional comedians and that's okay, that's the
that's the beauty of it. But they just need to
be willing to perform.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, and you don't have to like write all your
notes on your arm, you know, like you yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Totally laptop or whatever, you know, whatever works for you.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, it's just more about your delivery and just the
spirit of the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay. And uh so last year, was there any certain
joke that you had never heard before that you remember
that what really stuck out? Was there one in particular?
If not, it's fine, it's kind of a kind of
a sudden question. But I just thought there might be
one that may have stuck out.

Speaker 8 (11:17):
I think there was a fart fart joke that killed Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
So I guess we can say that on the air. Ryan,
can we say that? Ryan said it was okay, we
can say that on the air.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
If you can say it on air, you can say
it a joke, okay.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
All right, right, all right, So so that was a joke.
Do you remember what the joke was?

Speaker 8 (11:34):
It was just more I remember, like, like I said,
we had so many children in the audience, and they
just were we have rubber chickens that they can punk
instead of plopping.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Okay, And so you make it like Internet, it's like
the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Here, it's very tongs that you can purchase and like
you can bring clap along.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Now, what does it does it cost to enter the competition?

Speaker 9 (11:56):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (11:56):
It's free to enter.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
That Well, I didn't know, because you're you're trying to
raise funds, I didn't know whether you charged to enter.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
To be a contestant is free? But you know you
should bring along your family and everybody.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Right, yeah, and how much how much does it cost
to gain.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Those will be dollars pre sale and then thirty closer
at the.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Door of the night is show? Okay, all right? So
I grew up around a lot of dad jokes because
my dad, well he was a dad number one, but
he was also a very religious guy, and so all
of his jokes had to be clean. And he was
a Sunday school superintendent, and his job was to get
up and welcome everybody before the minister or in the choir.

(12:34):
He just welcomed everybody, and he thought it was his
job to come out and tell a few jokes. And
at some point, I mean there were a couple of
jokes that he told that the people were like, okay,
let's bring the preacher on. Now, we're ready for the preacher. Now,
one of my dad's jokes that he used to tell,
and it really he would talk about somebody that was
a bad singer and he would say, and this is
all in the delivery. He would say, well, she's sang

(12:57):
in the key of L. Well it sounds like hell.
You just got to say that, like, you know, quickly.
So that was that was one of my dad jokes.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
But the good one.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, I mean, that was one of his. It's not mine.
You have a nail me? Do you have a favorite
dad joke?

Speaker 4 (13:14):
You know, my life is surrounded by dad jokes every time.
I know social media and everybody around me is telling
me dad jokes that when I'm asked to be on
to man, I don't really have one. Okay, that's fine,
but no way, I have a joke about time travel.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Okay, you didn't like it. Let's see what you did there?
All right? So what do you need from the listeners?
Do you i mean other than to show up? Do
you need uh? And contestants? Do you need judges? Do
you need are you good on jokeing?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Do we have good? We're moving on the judges. We're
nailing down our final like people see who they're available,
and so we'll have some what are to the.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Judges by the way, I mean, how does that.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
Judging work for them?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Okay, of course you did.

Speaker 8 (13:57):
They are judging on style of the joke delivery and
then audience feedback, because that's really good that they have
that rapport with the audience. And we have three rounds
of the contest, so they're judging at each round.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay, all right, so that means they have to and
how long do are the performances?

Speaker 8 (14:15):
The first round is a speed round, I believe. I
think I have it as one minute of straight dad jokes. Okay,
you just keep them on coming.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
And then so that could be any number though, because
some of them could be like just quick quick riddles
and some could be so that could be one joke
or ten exactly, okay.

Speaker 8 (14:30):
And then round two is extended dad jokes so they
can tell a little story. And then the final round
is to determine, like it's like elimination.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, yeah, and so there's a grand champion, and okay,
do the second or third place or I just would
have one joe.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Well, last year we tied for first place, really, so
we had we didn't see that one coming.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
I know they were professionals.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
So they didn't you didn't make them like have a
have a joke off or anything.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
They did have a joke off and they were It
went on a little too.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Long because they were really good. That's so good not laughing.
So yeah, we just decided to do a tie and
split up the prizes. So, okay, you get you get
a crown, you get a sash, you get a hilariously
cheesy trophy that Sam and I will probably make again
because we enjoy trying to incorporate crafts whenever we Okay,
so so you made the trophy, Well we kind of

(15:21):
repurposed a trophy.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Okay, do they get to keep it? I mean okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, they get to keep this one of the kind
piece of art from Samini.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
Yes, dad, things like it was bowling trophy. Maybe this
year will be wrestling belts.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay, that's good, that's a good idea. I like the sash.
I think that's a that's a cool thing to have
the sash.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yeah, so it's just kind of fun. We're just trying
to make it silly and let people, you know, be
able to walk around and barbecue with a crown and
a sash on and it really.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Is a good night. I mean it's a good night.
It's a good night. It's a good night.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
But we just really need contestants, right, Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
So we need contestants, all right, So here's your final
plug for contestants. Goad go ahead.

Speaker 8 (15:58):
So if you know people who are funny we're telling
constantly telling you corny jokes, sign you sign them up
or tell you know, ask them to sign up, because
we want to see them perform on stage.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
We are looking.

Speaker 8 (16:10):
Probably we need ten contestants, so this is the time
to shine. So if people are always talking, oh a
big game about their dad jokes, Okay, let's put it
to the test.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Let's see if you can be the grand champion.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Just bring it. Yeah yeah, So how many do you
have signed up so far?

Speaker 6 (16:26):
I think we have like a good handful.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
So okay, all right, but you're not at ten yet. Yeah,
and ten's going to be your cutofft because I mean,
you don't want to have too many because at night
will go on. How long does the entire thing last?
I mean I think it's like just a two hour
of just a couple of hours.

Speaker 8 (16:38):
It's a fun time that we can go explore downtown,
have a good night out.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, there's an intermission too, so we'll have a stand
up comedian on stage too, So.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Like an actual comedian, you go bring in okay, all right,
and do you do concessions and things like that.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Okay, they'll be popcorn and the little snacks and things
like that, and they'll be raffle baskets or prizes and
giveaways that there will be avail.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And again, all the proceeds benefit the West Side Neighborhood Association.
What are some of the projects that you've used the
money for or your other fundraitions.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
So we use them to purchase more you know, litter pickers,
trash bags, safety vests for folks. We use it to
buy more seeds and flowers and things like that and
just kind of goes into our general you know, I'm
getting a pizza party together. This year's a special year
because we've been around for thirty years. So we will

(17:26):
probably use that money towards some of the bigger campaigns
that we're doing and doing some oral history and things
like that.

(21:53):
Aaron Noon Flatley and the folks with the Charleston Airy
Alliance will stop by, and another visit from a good friend,
doctor Casey Sachs of Bridge Valley Community Tactical College. Mayor
Danny Jones is here. Good morning, sir, welcome back, Good morning.
I had to tell a real quick story to the
folks here. I hit Charleston around seven this morning, taking
my time getting off the Virginia Street exit by WSAZ

(22:13):
and the Hampton End, you know, pulling into town. And
if you picture this, I am in the far right
lane because I'm coming off the exit. There's a car
on the far left side, so basically there's a couple
of lanes in between us. Me and this other car.
Look straight ahead and there is a tesla coming the
wrong way up Virginia Street. I mean, if you can

(22:38):
picture that, I mean people do it all the time.
He or she is coming the wrong way up Virginia Street. Basically,
they split my neighbor and I not really my neighbor,
but they were in the other lane and so the
car we basically had to go to the sides so
the car could go between us. The only thing I
will say to that driver is I hope you got
where you're going safely because you dang near cast an

(23:00):
an accident with two people right there, And I was
thinking about this, Danny, you're a Charleston guy. I see
an awful lot of wrongway drivers on Virginia Street. Have
you noticed that?

Speaker 5 (23:11):
I see them all over town?

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Well, and I guess maybe it's because there's so much
on Virginia Street, and you think about it, it goes,
you know, all the way down to the Capitol. But
I can't. I mean, We've stood out here at eleven
eleven and just seeing people turn out of one of
the doctor's offices and they just go right back up
the street. And you would think that the blowing horns
and the people flashing their lights would be an indication
that maybe I've screwed up and I should pull to

(23:33):
the side and go in the opposite direction. But that
wasn't the case this morning. The tesla just kept right
on going.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Wonder what happened, maybe could or if it ever? I
hope it. I hope it caught the drift.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Well, yeah, I hope it turned out okay, is what
I hope. I wouldn't. Nobody was hurt, all right, So
uh house California.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
My friend, it was nice. Okay, I'm going.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Back Thursday, Thursday.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Yeah, I'll be back Sunday.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Okay. Yeah, that's a long trip to make for just
a few days.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
I got business.

Speaker 12 (24:06):
You got business, yeah, okay, I got business out there. Okay, Well,
I tell you you, I don't know how the weather
was when you were there, but it's pretty bad now
or it's going to be heavy rain in southern California.
I heard that then, like in the up in the mountains,
which you're nowhere near there. But if the mountains, they
were expected in some areas seven feet of snow. You
ever visited that part of California up in the mountains?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Stay? So it was nice when you were there. Is
that what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
I'm looking back here in your five degrees.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, last week.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
And I have won my Facebook. I did some Facebook
videos and I'd hold my phone and let people watch
a surfer. You know, it was beautiful.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
So today is President's Day. I have a feeling you've
talked about before who your favorite president was. But give
me a couple of others, me a couple of your
favorite president because you're a historian too, so it doesn't
have to necessarily be those during your lifetime. Who are
the most impactful presidents to you?

Speaker 5 (25:08):
The most impact impactful?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Were your favorite? Either one answered how.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Let's to impact? Okay, go ahead, George Washington, Yeah, Abraham
Leca and Franklin delm or Roosevelt.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Okay, but who are your favorites? Though? Hmm, I didn't
think it would be that difficult. I thought you just
said Nixon and then going.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Away, that's Richard Nixon? Okay, Yeah, he was my favorite?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
What was it about Nixon? Now we all know how
the Nixon presidency ended the second term with Watergate and
so on and so forth. But most people historians that
I have read, have said that, you know, Nixon wasn't perfect,
and obviously he's going to be remembered for Watergate, but
he did some really really good things as president.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
I remember when in nineteen seventy seventy one he did
some stuff that the left really liked. You know, he
did waging price controls. I think he did it just
to prove they wouldn't work. He let the dollar float,

(26:14):
unlike now he had his The head of the FED
was a guy named Arthur Burns, and Nixon influenced him
and was able to do some stuff to him that
in Time magazine maybe Man of the Year. And you'd

(26:35):
never known in nineteen seventy one that he would have
three years later he would have had to leave somebody.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
He told me this the other day, and I hope
I had the date on this right about Nixon's visit
to China? That when what year was that was that
seventy year sive.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Seventy two?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It was? It was definitely May of seventy two. Okay, Well,
that shoots my story out a heck. Then I was
gonna tell what were you going to say? Well, somebody
told me the other day that in May, that in
nineteen seventy two, that the Buffalo Creek flood, which killed
one hundred and twenty six people in my home county
of Logan, wasn't the lead story on the nationwide news.
That the lead story was the President being in China.

(27:27):
Buffalo That was in February of seventy two.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Buffalo Creek was earlier.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
February seventy two. Yeah, it was, okay, yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Maybe I just totally got that stretch went in the spring. Okay,
tell you a little story about it that Chawing Lie
greeted him off the plane. He was standing down at
the bottom. In nineteen fifty four, Chawing and Lie had
been an agreed, had been at a meeting in one

(28:00):
of those places in Switzerland where they gathered to make peace,
and John Foster Dallas wouldn't shake hands with Chung Wah,
and he wouldn't shake hands with him. So Nixon, when
he was four steps from the bottom, stuck his hand out.

(28:24):
He has his hands stuck out four step from the
bottom when he got off the plane. So to those
that had gotten in the minutia of history and knew that,
they knew, why.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Can you imagine what that moment would have been like
now with social media, how it would have been played
over and over again.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, all right, So it was a big
deal when he did that.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Who do you think were the worst presidents? Well, and
here's the thing that's kind of an unfair question when
you're talking about your favorite or the best or the worst,
because they've all had good and bad, you know, moments.
A lot of people considered, although he was a great man,
a lot of people consider that Jimmy Carter was not
a good president. Nobody's going to question what an incredible

(29:12):
human being he was. He wasn't uh but that he
wasn't a great president. And I think Joe Biden's gonna
be remembered that way as well. Politics a side party aside.
I think Joe Biden will be remembered that way as well.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Harding, Okay, Wilson was racist. You go back. The guy
get the bad rap is uh Ulysses s Grant a
lot of corruption in his administration, and then Andrew Johnson,

(29:48):
of course he got impeached and kept from being convicted
by one vote, one vote, one vote, one vote. In
the middle there you had some guys like Miller Fillmore
that were just kind of nonexistent.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
So we haven't mentioned the word. The two names that
haven't come up in either either name neither one of
these names to come up in our conversations so far
Reagan and Trump.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Well Reagan, I mean I liked Ronald Reagan. I voted
for him twice, and I liked him.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
My first president I would have I was thinking the
first president I would have voted for would have been Bush.
The first because that's when when I was I turned
eighteen in eighteen eighty eight, so they would have been
the first president.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
He was the most qualified.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, what about Trump? How's history going to look back
on Donald?

Speaker 5 (30:43):
Not? Well? Not well, not in my humble opinion. And
you know the Kennedy Center, what he's done there. They're
taking all the Kennedy stuff out of the Kennedy Center.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I didn't know that. I knew that they were he
was wanting to change the name. I didn't know he
was taking this stuff.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
And Maria Shriver is removing all the candis she's doing it. Okay,
all right, she's removing all of it. And maybe if
if we have a different president next time, maybe they'll
move it back in and call the Kennedy Center again.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well and perform a lot of performers are canceling too.
They're not They're not going.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
There'll be no performers if it's not If if President
Trump's going to put his name on it like he has,
people won't perform. I mean, Kid Rock, maybe.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Did you get get in on all of the super
Bowl halftime controversy?

Speaker 5 (31:42):
I was out west.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well that's interesting, So what was the I'm sure you
were with your friends watching the super Bowl. I mean
I would think that you were what was the what's
the vibe out west about the Bad Bunny versus the
Turning Point.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
Well, they had a huge television and in the the
house I was, and they were watching Bad Bunny. It
wasn't a controversial. I couldn't understand what he was saying.
So I don't. I don't know how good a job
he did. Well, I mean, I'd rather watch the Bohemian.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well there was you know again, we talked about this
last week, Danny and the super Bowl halftime show is
not designed for your people, your age, or even people
my age. It's not. It's not who it's designed for.
Bad Bunny has won a bunch of Grammys. He's one
of the top selling artists in America right now. So
be it. I just don't. I mean, we're out of it.

(32:39):
I mean we're out of the culture. It's not it's
not relevant. We're not relevant anymore. And certain in certain ways.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
I got nothing against him.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
No, I don't either, I have nothing against him.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
I don't. I mean, the Patriots weren't gonna win, and
that's to who you're pulling forth And I had a
chance to get a ride. I went back to the hotel.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Text says Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated and his wife illegally
signed legislation.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
His last year. Yeah, he had a stroke.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
There are a lot of people, and I'll say this
will take the break. There are a lot of people
that say that in the last year of the presidency
that Reagan wasn't there either.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
I don't buy that. You don't buy him.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
No, Texas, Andrew Jackson was pretty terrible. Didn't he tell
the Supreme Court to kick rocks? While he was Genociety

Speaker 5 (35:55):
According to a Texter Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Worst Presidents according to the same text number one, James Buchanan,
number two Andrew Johnson, three, Jimmy Carter, four Warren Harding,
and five Joe Biden with honorable mention as worse Franklin Pierce.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
I don't, well there you can and I forgot about Okay, Yeah,
that's He's got a good list there.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
All right. Uh, Texas. Trump could be considered one of
the worst, but also the most transformational in the history
of the Union.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
In the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, and uh,
what's hard to hard to bad mouth what he's done there.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, he's really even even some liberals have come out
who wouldn't give Trump credit if he if he cured cancer, Uh,
have come out and said that the things he's done
on the worldwide stage as far as the Middle East, whatever,
we're pretty good. Well, Donna Brazil of all.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
People I'm critical of he told those protesters in Iran
that health was help was on the way, and it
wasn't and uh twenty thousand.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah. Bill Maher talked about that this past week in
his thirty thousand.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
I mean, they couldn't find enough body bags for all
the people and you had, I mean those people over
in Iran, they need the Second Amendment.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
They tex says, a liberal professor of mine told me
that judge that. Okay, let me back up. A liberal
professor of mine told me that judging presidents twenty years
after leaving office, so personal feelings are toned down in
time to see how the policy's fared. So, in other words,
what they're saying is is that you shouldn't judge somebody

(37:46):
until maybe twenty years later. And the text was on
to say Bush forty one is up for judgment at
this time.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
Bush, you mean older Bush?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Well, well, if it was twenty years, I mean it
will be two thousand and six. That would be the
year we're looking at it.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
Well, the Iraq War got him, Yeah, I mean it
was just, uh, I don't know, politely, it was a mistake, Texas.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
President Trump has done more to strengthen this country than
any other president in my lifetime.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
So that's your editorial comments.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
I don't was that when he did the the cartoons
with the Obamas looking like primates?

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
But they'll they'll defend that. Well, they say that it
wasn't that that there were others involved in that. Yeah,
that's my kind of my point there's just some lines.
And look, I'm a First Amendment absolutist. He has every
right in the world to do that, but doesn't make
it the right thing to do. You got it? The
president right exactly. He shouldn't be on social media to

(38:59):
begin with, and no president should be on social media
to begin with. In my opinion, tex says. The reason
there was so much hate towards Trump, look at what
these people are comfortable and permitted in saying and doing,
then have the gall to attempt to take some kind
of moral high ground. It's despicable. Because you don't like
him personally, you're going to turn a blind eye as
the nutcases of Minneapolis attack Ice and students across the

(39:20):
country take part in these walkouts to protest. Ice ended
up assaulting a parent, and they also hit a man
with rocks.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
And I shot two people up there in Minneapolis, and
that that young man that was murder. That's that's my.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
So I want to switch gears. I want to talk
about this whole thing with the Nancy Guthrine. You've been
following that. You said you're out in California. I know
it's on everywhere. It's one twenty five of the countries
is kind of it's if this is kind of a
bad equation, but it's kind of like the modern OJ triud.
You remember how everybody was about OJ but the but the
only difference was there wasn't social.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Media News says twenty four to seven. Okay, I mean
it's ah and you don't know if they you keep
thinking you're gonna have progress. But I mean it's been
what two weeks now.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
The longer it goes, the more dismal, you know, it looks.
And something that I heard on ABC News, Danny this morning,
I was driving in this morning. You know, a lot
has been made about the glove that they found discarded,
you know, doing DNA testing on it and whatnot. The glove.
I heard this in the Morning news this morning. The
glove was one of something like sixteen gloves that they

(40:43):
found along the roadways. Now they say that many of
them were discarded by investigators. Now I'm not a crime
scene CSI kind of guy, Danny, But doesn't that seem weird.
I'm not saying it's nefarious anyway. I'm just saying that
the investigators are just tossing gloves right and left. I mean,
and then it's reckless. I mean it's reckless. It makes

(41:07):
no sense. And now all the conspiracy theory people have
gone in because I've read something yesterday and I almost
don't even want to repeat it because it's like it
lends more to it. But also that they're trying to
tie in that that Savannah Guthrie had done an interview
like one of the last interviews that she did was
with not Juleene Maxwell, but the other Virginia lady that

(41:31):
was that was involved in the in the whole Epstein file,
and and that this was somehow tied to the Epstein file.
I think this country is so it's got such a
penchant and such a obsession obsession that's the right word.
Obsession with the Epstein No matter what happens, it's going
to be tied into that. But this it is a
tragic story. But there are people that Danny are just

(41:54):
bought and they are obsessed with this Nancy Guthrie story.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
And some people are obsessed with the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Oh no, I mean yeah a lot. And there are
people that are saying the conspiracy theory of people are saying, well,
we had to have something to draw attention away from
the mtbops, I got news for you. The Fsteam files
ain't going away. It's not going away, and the obsession
with it is not good anywhere.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
It's okay with me. Bad news doesn't get better with
the age. Yeah, okay, So Attorney General Bondi and all those.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
I was going to ask you what she thought about
the Jerry Springer episode last week with me with the
trees geral bonding.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
She didn't look good. But they need to get all
the news out, just all of.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
It, did you? A lot was made over the weekend,
some of the weekend shows, Danny will do this and
we'll go to break that during that hearing that she
was more interested in yelling back and the other side.
I mean, to be honest with you, the people on
the that were set behind the desk could have probably
done a little bit jaw a better job of keeping
their emotions in check. Okay, but it's a very emotional topic.

(42:59):
But that she would not look at the victims that
were standing there.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, she should have. And the
people questioning her right or wrong, they have five minutes
and what they're looking for yes or no answers, and
what she's trying to do filibuster, so that that just
doesn't go on with her, goes on for sure, anybody.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Anybody that's there. Tex says, with rating presidents, it will
also depend on what standards are you. Some may be
better domestic and horrible foreign and vice versa. Then that's
a very good point, okay, Texas. Trump has kept his
promises that he made during his campaign. Will go down
as the greatest president of my lifetime. One of those
promises was fully releasing the Epstein files. Well they haven't

(43:48):
done it, and that prices were going to go down
lower on day one, which did not happen. And look,
you should have never should have never made that promise
to begin with.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Well but let me let me let me defend him.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
All right, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
You have a lower rate of inflation than you than
you had before. What if you want prices to go down,
you need to either have a recession or a depression.
Prices aren't going to go down. But he said he
made he said on day one, prices go down. No
president can do that. He should have never said it.

(44:23):
It was a stupid thing to say. He said that
he was going to end the.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
War in Ukraine and he would release the Epstein file.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Well, that's their fault. They ought to release them and
ought to do it on day one. You know, he's
gotten mad at uh Tim Scott and that Uh Brett,
Senator Brett from Alabama because they called those pictures of

(44:52):
the Obamas race.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
I know Tim Scott did.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
I heard no, she did too, Okay, he said he
might primary, you.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Know, Texas Florida guy Dave. Today is seventeen days of
the media NonStop hype on missing person Nancy Guthrie, only
because she's related to a big news personality. Any other
missing person won't be mentioned at all. China could be
dropping nukes on us and it would never be mentioned. Well,
that's just that's their that's our culture here, and it's
you can't blame the media for there it is. The

(45:22):
media is only answering what people are talking about now.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
And I'm curious about it. She's an older lady and
we can relate to it because what if it happened
to us, What if our mother, our senior mother, eighty
four year old mother had been kidnapped? You know, can

(45:46):
Savannah Guthri? I guess she's probably in her fifties, you know.

(48:45):
victims have already come out and shown who they are.
Let them testify, Let them tell us their story publicly,
says a Texter. Text says, uh yeah. The US has
an obsession with conspiracy theories. Look at the Epstein Trump files,
the president, the wealthiest people on the planet, people at
the top of their industries. A lot of them are
in there and had relationships with Epstein. Of course there's

(49:06):
conspiracies going on when there's an active denial campaign for
the DOJ about a global child sex trafficking ring. Texas,
you guys need to look at total forest, not a
single tree, when evaluating President Trump's effectiveness. To say that again,
you guys need to look at the total forest and
not a single tree when evaluating President Trump's effective So,

(49:29):
in other words, what they're saying is is, don't just
look at one thing, look at the entire presidency.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Well, I'm not going to respond to that.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Texas, to stop trying to legitimize Trump. I didn't think
it would be possible. But Trump is one hundred times
worse than w makes George W. Bush look like Jefferson.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
You know, we just saw some on here that I
hadn't seen before. There's blood all over there. I couldn't
really because we had the TV on mute. I couldn't
tell if that was This is the Nancy Guthrie crime scene.
It is. They said that.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Okay, okay, I didn't see it, but they showed.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
The blood on the walkway and not forgive me. I
had never I had never seen that before. I had
been watching it. I've been listening to it.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Tex says, Also, why is WVRC media running an ad
about Dick Durbin. I know ad revenue is great, but
what a connection is Dick Durbin have to West Virginia.
We don't ask questions. We just take their money when
they ask when they want to run, we don't ask questions.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
There's apparently a bill that people want to kill that
Durbin that is the sponsor of. Okay, that's what that's about. Yeah,
and I had national implications having to do with credit cards.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
I want to go back to President Trump just a moment, Danny,
as we close this out. And there's new polling out
going back to Ice that says that well over sixty
percent of all Americans, regardless of party, aren't happy with
the way the ICE deployments have gone and the actions
across America, well over sixty percent regardless.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
Of party surprised. I think that his style doing things
is I mean to send three thousand people to Minneapolis
is pretty strong. I think he's done a good job

(51:17):
at the border. You know, that's if you want me
to say something good about him. But sending three thousand
people to Minneapolis was pretty strong. An plus, it took
away from the Somalie thing.
