Bluecoats 2nd here to get a little game show music here because you know as I always say you can't have a game show without the Game Show production elements. Like they had a fake crowd or the fake big big big fake crowd. To say something funny. Or funny get Iran sell call now 3 to 5 to 9117302529117 we do this of talk not text because it just be too hard to get your information. If you text it right. So the blue coats you know if you left a few years ago and came back you go like blue coats. Now we know they're affiliated with the 76 years. Right. Right like what happened the 87 years Man No no no no no the bluecoats but that's not even who they originally were you know seriously you think about the founding of this team. Just like you might have teams moving from one place to other just like in minor league baseball some of the minor league teams will change affiliation and I think we've got a somebody on the phone who does or I'm going with this. But I'm still going to keep going. Through 2 fives and I was 70 I called out Jay they're called in man because they want to talk to you thanks. So the team was actually founded in 2007 as an affiliate to a team that's not the Sixers. Does that make sense i know i know i ramble when I do these things it's kind of like when I was doing a trivia for a name that Delaware stuff name that Delaware thing I know so so here is the rambling question here the team was founded in 2007 as an affiliate of a team that is not the Sixers. Actually I think that's pretty much the whole thing right yeah so. Be the 1st person right now. Just I just need their 1st name Jay that's just the name No Shawn Green sports director you're not allowed to play I don't even think you're allowed in the studio man but are you going to grade me if I get something wrong is that what you're going to do exactly what I'm here to do right now Ok so it's a minor league team like minor league baseball right correct Ok but they don't call it minor league basketball do they it's the Gili that feeling but they call it a feeling it Program Yes which is kind of annoying because really it's minor league basketball they should call it what it used to it's called the g. League because it's sponsored it used to be the end be a developmental league of the value money yes but then gator got involved so it became the Geale because it gave her a ride and next thing and they could call him l.b. Minor league basketball that would just confuse everybody even minor league baseball's m i l b c one m i l b is it really for trial hang on for 2nd let's get it on dry here so who are they with originally Hey Andre How you doing I know how you go about it was good to. Know but thanks for trying so know how do you know Ok Ok. Now I don't know how to deliver Blue Bombers no better that's why he was thinking of the no a c. We're going the other way with this we're going Ok so what was the. N.b.a. Team the n.b.a. Team that they were 1st affiliated with that's the thing and they were not called the bluecoats and they were not called 87 years and Shonn Greene is over here and it's killing him because as Sports Director of course he would go off course you would know dude of course you would know of course Ok we have more clues here are right so here we go as long as you walked in here I'm going to I'm going to put you to the test here all right this this isn't well for me. Right Ok so. In the 1st season for this team in 2007 guard Morris omened who had been sent down to the dealer league by the n.b.a. Team which name I'm not going to say and you're not either Morris all meant he tied an n b a development like league record with 51 points and they beat the Austin Toros Well they're not as good as the Rio Grande Valley fighters let's let's be perfectly honest they have a cool logo I don't know now that's the thing about minor league teams or developmental teams so you got to have a cool logo and some of them are kind of cool the blue rocks are pretty cool we got blue incl So that's good right and we got Mr Sellery so people like to get Mr Sellery on stuff even though I don't think that comes with time he's not an official mascot which is the really silly thing about all of that I know but that but but we love it we love the story so these guys went out of business or they start in 2007 as an affiliate to one team that's not Delaware. That's not the Sixers rather correct Ok but it was an n.b.a. Team that they were affiliated with right how many more clues we have to give here are you give which conference that team was in I have not go right ahead it is a Western Conference Team Ok so their own team came from the Western Conference at so the Western Conference and so western state yes the n.b.a. Team in question is a Western Conference team begins with a volley. That's just a give away. I was 30 to 5 tonight when I won 75 and I want to win 7 so they're the Delaware Bluecoats now but they were the 87 years which was a play on the 76 years and the fact that Delaware ratified the Constitution and in $87.00 correct so that's right and they waited until 1987 to run. Maybe not so much Ok so here's my question for you by the way on the line is a 4 pack for tickets to go watch the blue coats one of the chances that one of these blue coats or more could actually go up and actually become a sixer Well given the fact that chick Milton was just called up yesterday Friday Bluecoats to join the 76 years that the percentage is high now very high you're talking possible All Star know that that's a little different story but you're going to see some players bouncing back and forth between the Sixers and the bluecoats all year so here's the question it's just like this it's just like the blue rocks the blue rocks or Philly with the Kansas City Royals Yes But however at one point they were affiliated with. They were affiliated with the Boston Red Sox for 2 years as a matter of fact great Boston Red Sox player I have a buy the guys bobble head was also a blue rock and at one point the most famous Blue Rock who is the most famous blue rock I don't think we're on the same page on this one who went to play for Boston you very much could be Ellsbury No I'm not someone else well they were like he was the best he was the best Boston Red Sox blue rock I wasn't really the best Ok There's no you're going to Johnny Damon he was he was with the Royal using the royals organization he was not in the service or morals see I see I do you read whatever wrong with Johnny Damon thank you good enough to see Brett Sox But after he was traded through Kansas there and there but he did go through that he didn't play for the Red Sox and he did but he did not go with the blue rocks with the blue rocks but what I'm saying is he was the one to blow Roxy with the rose and went to the Boston Red Sox and he's much celebrated except when he went to the Yankees than he angered both sides of the rivalry and the whole thing but we followed away from the point here we're still looking for the the key to what was the team the n.b.a. Team with which the predecessor of the original Blue Blue Coats was affiliated 3025 and I won 7 where we got Jay on the fall and he says he knows the answer so we'll get to Jay But then I have I have more questions because of that we got more questions. How did I and I'm going to tell you Ok so it was the bluecoats art is the bluecoats and with the Sixers it was 87 ers with the Sixers right but before that it was a different team with a different n.b.a. Team. So I don't want to go home how is your daughter. And she just gave you the answer I heard her say the engine go ahead give us the answer. They play to you you would do it where you thought believed they were that you yes. Actually right now what's your daughter's name Mari Mari good job helping daddy because I said I never heard her say I know I heard her say back there in a child's car in a child seat so way to go well we watch a basketball Thank you well congratulations and now you have 4 tickets to go enjoy the Delaware Bluecoats any time you'd like to for as long as you're allowed to I don't know I'm sorry this is Game Is On December 6th or so it's like where this week this Saturday right the 5th so even Saturday Saturday Ok yeah so we'll figure it out we'll make it work better test it all right hold the phone Jay get the energy so we got this j. We got another j.j. Talk to Jay and go ahead and get those tickets to him so the maro do it again now Sean Sean Green a sports director here w o an 11517 f.m. Streaming live a double beating of icon touchdown Wesley. Could you go on to that is it didn't do a whole lot of that yes on Saturday Sadly no you didn't but not a touchdown to lower valleys though you do have the legendary touchdown Wesley call Yeah my voice is shot and I'm glad don't do it until September All right so here's here's what what I know just because because I read it Ok so these guys who have the flash with the Utah Jazz. They had like they were doing great they were number 2 in attendance they had like 100000 fans averaging 4200 per game in 201-2011 but they couldn't keep it going and they folded up so that was of 2011 they folded up in 2013 the Sixers got a hold of them called the number 87 years and I think you interviewed Brandon Williams who is the the 1st general manager of the team Now here's what I would I don't know how do they become the bluecoats. They decided they didn't they wanted to change the entire branding when they went from Newark to Wilmington so they decided to go from the Delaware thing you know this just changed things up entirely when they when they moved a little closer to Philadelphia as they were playing at the Bob the bottom Carpenter Center and then they built this huge big honking facility out here by the river front as they want to be closer to Philadelphia now you're what 18 miles away whatever the math works and still lousy rotten stink and no good access to the highway but yes the state's getting better don't tell them it's getting better to be getting better they have to do new on an exit ramp is going to get better but they're working on the bridge into the into the river front they are going to be right down to 495 once that intersection gets built and they need that and then one more thing for traffic watch to report on. Me is a flood zone so when I see how that works out there's a lot All right so that was it just a matter of rebranding when they want to come to a brand new facility over here yeah they did just decide of the hat Caesar the Fox He had all these things associate with the $87.00 or shift mix things up try to create a whole new fresh start and see if that could spark a little more interest into the team and that's right a change there's no more season to Fox You know I don't know what I don't know who their their new mascot is but that to me the the thing that's going to make that work is either a kid from Delaware playing on the team right or a blue hen that's incredibly popular playing on that team and they have not been able to pull off either of those 2 things yet why do you think what do you what do you mean what do you think I would actually do well you would get people who would come specifically for the player now what you have are the general I like basketball fans I want to see a lower priced n.b.a. Game there's still a lot of athleticism there's more athletic talent there than even for the undefeated Blue Hens who Rockaway are trying to go 190 today yeah and received a vote in the Associated Press top 25 poll for the 1st time since 1999 are you one of the voters so you why have you not one of the voters has not my vote you know play me for that I. No I'm asking I didn't know that you know but they did receive a poll that for the 1st time each of them under 19 you've been on the Heisman committee so I was just one of maybe you're on this committee I'm not on that committee Well they you should be. White No one knew why this all of the 30 voters in the country get what the 30 most knowledgeable college basketball gods he had no he really he had a lot of high school get I cover high school basketball my feet get a lot I hate e-mail when that when this happens is that you know what I made Howard number one instead of your original my school football you know that went well for about a week. Well good real well for your call turned into a great See championship game on Saturday where I might add exactly and who won Howard Yeah the 15 and who did you pick Howard there you go boom baby boom right that's a I still to be careful going down the green wooden bridge built so perfectly I know but still the response online is thank you for listening. Thank you for giving me something on my locker room wall not. Lovely All right man so anyway they went from the Western Division to the Eastern Division and now the bluecoats are in the Atlantic Division so they're going to it's a lot of fun and it's an affordable game if you are a fan of the n.b.a. Product it is a very similar product to the n.b.a. a Lot of high flying dunks and players whose names you might recognize if you follow college basketball highest level they had ordered name point guard last year that was on the team that had players and sag and they've had players from North Carolina so you know some of those players they're just in that 2nd level yeah I mean those are the players are playing in the g. League trying to keep their careers alive and and trust me they can play some basketball while there are people calling for a minor league for basketball for decades and that's the problem is they said well we don't think we can get the money don't think we get a sponsorship while there is there's the flash affiliated with the Utah Jazz and by the way it was 2. 21000 fans who voted on that is the name they get 100000 people their number 200000 people 201-2011 and still they couldn't get the sponsorship they want under the time it wasn't quite right out there I think they'll obviously say the fan base the bluecoats would love to have 4000 fans a game that arena can hold 4000 people but now every team I believe it's 30 of the $3028.00 of the 30 or $29.00 of the 30 now have g league teams so Utah probably has a replacement to the flash that they didn't have in 2011 so that in the time it was just absolutely perfect for for Wilmington the new ark to get a team they said Gentlemen Shonn Greene sports director I am 1151 I want to out if I'm going to come and all of affiliated platforms to say the All State High School football team will be released at 6 o'clock tonight on w d l dot com We'll be listening.

On am 115117 am devotees. But you can totally understand if someone says Wow. Bernier Elizabeth Warren is going to. Offer free childcare Yes. While I was reading. This guy Derek Thompson of the Atlantic he says well there are 3 broad reasons obtaining care for kids now cost as much as buying a brand new 100 by a lantern every year maybe not quite that much and lower but some places Oh yeah absolutely I mean so much money so expensive I. I was actually talking about this a little bit not any depth with the young lady whose whose baby the 3 month old was was crying at the Verizon store and I had one of those moments you know you do this you have one of these moments you go like wow that is so cool . And I just got I just going to tell you before I get into this so. We were talking and she said Well she's very lucky that she has family she lives in Pennsylvania fairly small town. And this is her 3rd child so she had no problem handing it over to a stranger would which is what she did well she's very blessed with child care like I said as she's got to get her mom and she has her mother in law and they're they're all there the help out and that's a nice thing not everybody has that as for handing over the child so this is the thing I want to share with you because 1st of all I can't sing at all I'm terrible and 2nd of all for most of my life whenever I looked a little kid they look at me and look at my face and start screaming. And the joke was don't give the child the Jeanson just scream and cry I'm not kidding that was the way it was for so long so so on was it Saturday. I'm sitting down we're going to phone and we're chatting and the baby started 3 month old to start crying and this woman is juggling documents and her old phone the stuff we're going to sales rep and I did something that I normally don't do because I was I don't want to be like creepy you know but but I care and so I said Would you like me to hold him and she goes Ok fine then and now I'm holding this 3 month old cradling him perfectly in my arms because I have experience and he's crying and so the only thing I know to do is to rock I'm a little bit and I start singing this song called Prairie lullaby I'm not going to do it on the air now if you want to get a really good rendition of it you Google Leon Redbone prairie law by its size a song used to sing to my daughter when she was very very little a lot and I play or the record because you know he's better well I sang the song and the baby's stops crying and his eyes are starting to close and I keep singing the song prairie by and I'm singing the song to the guy and next thing I know he's asleep I looked up. And there were like about 40 people in the store little tiny horizons store right and I'm looking at these people and half of them are just looking at me with smiles of gratitude like really do you did that thank you because he was crying you know and crying baby in the store and I just looked up glass and I looked back down thinking Don't say anything man don't blow this don't ruin so good so there you go and then and then she was done with the sales rep she took the baby he started crying again everybody looked over she gave him a bottle and that was it it's. Help that's what moms want more than anything in the world dads to yes I know I'm being. Generous to about the whole thing moms and dads they want help so when you hear of Bernie Sanders as with Warren saying ah free child care yes is it resonates course you start doing the math in a crunching and you realized why your taxes are going to go up that much anyway so here in the us your per child spending has doubled from the 1970 s. Really to 2013. Sabina Cornish of the universe is 70 and Frank Furstenberg at at u. Penn I stumbled upon this thing University Pennsylvania did a lot of studying on this and wrote a paper on it nothing in parenting has grown faster than per child spending on child care it's increased 2000 percent in 40 years 2000 percent so for those of you who are about to have a baby or have kids it really sucks to be you more and more women entered the labor force in the late 20th century and when they did all this work for caring for infants moved from the unpaid world of stay at home parents to the world of salaried labor in the 1970 s. And eighty's the 2 decades when the female labor participation rate grew the fastest also saw the greatest Excel aeration in child care spending and for those of you had kids in those years. You may also recall changes in in licensing regulations so you may have had a friend who said hey you know what we're going to build little playground out here and we've got a lot of room we can probably take care of I don't know 6 kids maybe 8 hire a couple people part time to help out you saw what happened with them was they had to increase how much they were charging you even as friends be out because the regulations in the training and I'm not saying it's not necessary because you know they're watching some precious cargo here and we've even seen some instances thankfully few when you'll have somebody abusive at the daycare moms and dads I applaud you I'm so glad that you're putting these spy cameras into teddy bears and things like that and I think that. I know that most of the day care is now actually have cams so you can check in and make sure everything's cool and I think they should all do that but child care spending is unlike any other spending it's getting more expensive faster than just about any other consumer good or service that's tracked by the government Census Bureau found that child care expenditures rose more than 40 percent from 1990 to 2011 and that's when middle class wages were stagnating right. Since the 1990 s. Childcare costs are grown twice as fast as overall inflation. California if you're thinking of moving the California consider this the cost of a typical average daycare center is now equal to almost half of the median income of every single mom out there. The average cost of a full time child care program in the United States gets so all across the u.s. The average is $16000.00 a year that's where they get the Hyundai Elantra 16 grand and more in some states so there are some of you who have her spend a lot of money on child care about this much and then you look at the tuition of a private school and go like well I'm already spinning on child care let's get to Lindsay at 3 o 25 tonight 101710 so how are you Rick oh god what are you doing very good you have a good Thanksgiving yes you too yeah very good and your guilty this morning right for all that you eat right and not i'm just fatter and then I brought more pi to work but. You know I did it quick quick story I had my 1st child in 76 and I'm looking at the birth notices and on that page right next door to that it's said if you had a child that day and you train that child to go to the potty within the normal amount of time. You will spend $15000.00 if you choose to use diapers. Supposable diapers so that's what they that's what they said not only that but my wife and I both have Blue Cross insurance at that time and. The joke of it was she was covered for maternity and we thought well it be good to go in and get. Ice and insurance policy for the family so that we could you know all be covered they sold Blue Cross sold us the policy and when the baby came I looked at the insurance the docs in and with 0 because the policy that we had that would have covered this were not enforced but the new policy had to be end for 12 months. Good girl and because when we went in with the big belly when you do and she said I'll probably within the month. She told us the policy and of course the good old insurance company got away with it did they no no lawyers no hey we're terribly sorry even gosh we should cover you because you had a policy with us where she was covered and then we sold you want I mean that's the kind of thing you go to the insurance commissioner on right there oh I did I've now I lived in Boston Massachusetts at the time and I went to the insurance commissioner and he said Well it's pretty plain you know you you forfeited the policy that would have covered that child but the policy that you have had to be enforced for 12 months so you know you should a known better I said you have a agent physically asked me When do you do and it would have been only prudent to say hey maybe you want to wait till after the child is born right that's. And then then the so and as far as day care goes I look at it this way a lot of these women that go out to work they're going to work you know some want to get out of the house with the baby but by the same token they're spending more money in many cases than they are making to send the child to daycare so it's a real bad thing because the kids are being brought up by people who don't have. That direct blow for them at their work they might put a pillow over your kid's head like no no no no I don't even don't even joke like that na na na na guys are a joke like that I know it's there was horrible that that happened horrible it's so horrible Oh my God And you know what honestly because I'm going to push back on that what I know people in the business and they're so sweet and loving that the vast majority would never do that that was. And now my wife my wife is was a day care person act one because she loves kids of all kinds so but there are those places where yeah your freight your friends are not going to get the care and that they really deserve that that's true I mean that's that's a hard thing to do is to shop for daycare and you think you've got a good spot and they'd better have a camera in there so you can look at it with every chance you get Right right exactly you know good good good program today thank you sir appreciate the god bless Thanks Lindsay it's 3025 to 9117511017 yeah that's a real buyer beware I mean what do you do when the agent even said oh yeah don't worry about it you're covered really. Well met us not what's said what's matters is what's written and most people don't even read all that stuff so getting back to child care and 3 reasons broad reasons why it costs so much now. Childcare workers are not expensive on an hourly basis really I mean they're not paid very much generally they're not page a lot I mean median hourly wages if you look at this around the country is less than that of janitors and non farm animal caretakers and things like that you know labor is though the biggest line item for childcare facilities they cannot cut spending by moving labor to you know Mexico or China or something like that no it's going to happen right here so those costs continually rise faster than overall inflation because it's just like health care and education child care requires lots of domestic salaries and the industry is highly regulated maybe reasonably so considering. You know the vulnerability of these these there are little kids you know Yet you want the best you want people going to take care of these kids and the regulation really is the number 2 driver of child care costs Jordan Weissmann has a story in The Atlantic and assist states with strict labor laws tend to have the most expensive facilities in Massachusetts they require one caregiver for every 3 infants. And the average annual cost there is actually more than $16000.00 and Mississippi they allow a wonder 5 ratio the cost of us and $5000.00 but I would not say that you know Mississippi is horrible and terrible just because we often make fun of Mississippi I mean one in 51 in 51 in 3 you'd rather have one in 3 but sheesh 16 grand a year here's your thing to others high turnover in this business so now you've That's because of low wages so now. The owners and managers have to constantly train new workers and they have to meet all these tough regulatory standards plus they've got a lot of insurance man I mean you've got p. And c. To cover damage to the property of work or injuries your word is cop in the legal fields to deal with what some researcher I was quite surprised researchers are saying. The inevitable parent lawsuits really yeah there are attorneys that will charge you an annual fee. Just to cover you in the event that you have one of these what they call in the middle parent lawsuits and then there's a real estate the most expensive childcare facilities seem to be situated near high income neighborhoods or in commercial districts you drop the kid off a nice place it's highly rated clean smart fun people right there near where you work that's why allow these companies contract with big employers and then they too can rent some retail I'm sorry rent Rent some commercial space near there and have the whole thing there it costs a lot of money to actually upgrade that and rehab it so they can take care of kids yeah and you can't just downsize real quick because most states require them to have a certain amount of square footage for each kid too. So the typical family paying for any child care spends about 10 percent of their income on it. Patagonia Apple Google I'm sure there's some places here in Delaware to do it I can't think off the offhand who does like in Wilmington and such but they offer day care centers for employees or to pay for back up they care if the 1st option falls through and things like that but there are all these startups like Vivie. Because people wonder what's the solution what's the answer I don't know I think the have to find that solution and I have to find that answer because the government's I help me on this at all there's a company called Vivi vi v.i.i. And they offer employer sponsored child care also wonder school I don't really know how that works identity has to look into it's called an air b.n. B. For day care Well they help you launch a child care center and in your own home yeah. Let me just say this though. Elizabeth Warren wants to spend a dyke 2 trillion dollars So you can have free national child care establishing a national system to carefully watch like $10000000.00 kids under the age of 5 This could be a logistical nightmare and I was reading this and Derek Thompson's piece How would federal state and local governments hire millions of caretakers in an economy with 3.5 percent unemployment where they live maybe more immigration you think and new affordable housing. And he cautions building a high quality national care taking workforce will take years and shoddy national daycare might be worse than the alternative.
