• 2:30
  Speaker 3: little bit later on. And of course you're Calls and Texter,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: welcome to but every Friday, as you know what we do,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: we talk a little high school football.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Tom Bragg and Chris Lawrence here. Chris, good morning, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: welcome to the show. Thank you so much. I'm I'm
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: honored to be here between two wrestling maniacs and a
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: third about to join us. I'm not a wrestling fan,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: but I have no problem with it. But I think
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I was a bigger fan of my father in law
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: who was a huge wrestling fan. And my favorite thing
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: to do was my father in law watch wrestling. Yes,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: because it wore me out. Yeah, because he was He
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: would just be he would help out the guy that
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: was in trouble. He'd be swinging his arms.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It was beautiful, beautiful to watch. So yeah, it's they're
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they're they're a different breed. I spent thirty years, thirty
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: years in the business. I got stories, man, I guess stories.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: What games you covered?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: N I will be at Ladley Field tonight Aaron Parker
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: and I will have the call of South Charleston at Capital.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Should be a good and I'm really looking forward to
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: seeing Tony Robinson Junior play for Capital. I've heard great
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: things about this young man, not only on the field
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: but off the field. Just a super individual. Looking forward
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: to seeing him play tonight. He he has been absolutely
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: wearing it out from his running back position, So I
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: would expect there'll be a lot of big plays in
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: that game and and a lot of scoring because that's
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: the way these two teams roll. Although South Charleston's coming
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: off that loss to GW last week and they struggled
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: mightily there, but they do have a very young team
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: and whatever loss, you learn a few things. So hopefully
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: that they'll be able to get back on track this
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: tonight and see what they can do. Kick off at
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: seven point thirty. Will be on there at seven o'clock,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: following the sports line here on five ADWCCHS.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: What you got tomorrow morning on West Virgina Outdoors.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Well, tomorrow's the opening day of archery season in West Virginia,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: so we'll we'll delve into the massed survey that comes
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: out every year. I had an opportunity to talk to
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: the lady who was in charge of putting that together
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: this year, and we'll learn more about that and sneak peak.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: The acorn crop, as most hunters that do any scouting know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: is a bumper crop this year and that does impact
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: the harvest. So we'll talk about that tomorrow morning on
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: the show. Also another update on EHD that continues to
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: be a real problem in the midd Ohio Valley radiating
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: out from the Parkersburg area. Lots of deer have died
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of it, and it's even worse across the river in
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Ohio where they are actually considering reducing the bag limit
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: for deer during the upcoming deer season. They're starting the
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: process to make that emergency move right now, does not
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: look like West Virginia is going to pursue that. We'll
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: talk a little bit about that with the wildlife disease
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: specialist Ethan Barton on the show tomorrow. And an individual
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: who caught the biggest bass in the history of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Bass Nation Fishing tournaments, the biggest basscot in the tournament.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: He cut it last week in a Stonewall Jackson's seven
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I think it was seven. Seven was the seven pounds
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: and seven ounces. I think that's what it was. We'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: talk to him about that catch that he secured during
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: a tournament last weekend. So that's what's on the show tomorrow.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I hope you'll join us.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll be listening tomorrow. Man, Thanks buddy, it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: bringing Tom Bragg. Now, Tom, you Matt Guitar Murphy have
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the call for Herbert Hoover and Point Pleasant. That is
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: tonight road game for the Huskies are heading to Mason County.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Talk about that game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, first time we've been down to Point Pleasant for
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: a Hoover game since we've been doing this and always
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: interested to get down to those places that have some
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: history behind him, places where a lot of big games
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: have been play over the years. I know Point not
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: having the best season this year. They're down a little
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: bit Owen three coming into this one. I think they're
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: a little better Owen three than maybe some of the
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: other winless teams around the state. And I think they
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: present a little bit more of a challenge than Hoover
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: faced last week. I'll do respect to Lincoln County, just
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: nothing went right for them, and everything went right for
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: the Huskies last week. Daniel and I did that game
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: and we looked up at one point, David, there was
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: five minutes, five and a half minutes to go in
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: the first quarter, Hoover had run three offensive plays, the
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: score was twenty five to nothing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Herbert Hoover.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: It was just if it could go right for them,
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: it did, and you can't count on that every week.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: And Point pleasants a proud program. You know, those are
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: kids that have that competed all the way up. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: I expect a hard fought game. Hoover probably should come
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: out of this one with a win, but that's a
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: tough place to go play.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Its age.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: You never know.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Hoover young at a lot of spots, particularly at the
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: quarterback position. But I thought last week at Lincoln County,
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Peyton Griggsby, the sophomore for the Huskies, really kind of
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: had his coming out party. Three hundred yards five touchdowns,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: looked as crisp as he has all season long. Certainly
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: something if you're Joey Fields and the coaching staff down
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: there in Elkfield, you can build off of.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: All Right, we'll be listing to you in the Mcutar
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Murphy on the air tonight.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're rolling games at seven or seven o'clock. We'll
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: be on about six fifty.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Five and that's on Superstar Country ninety six to one KWUS.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And then you're gonna rebound tomorrow home coming at West
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Virginia State. Quickly talk about that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, homecoming for the Yellowjackets tomorrow, Fairmont State coming into town.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: It's the mac opener for or not to open the
• 7:24

  Speaker 9: is a picture you definitely want to go see of
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: our adopting please pet of the week.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It is the it's a cat. It's a cat this
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: week named old Man Jenkins and he's currently a resident
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: at the Petgo Penhouse out at South Ridge, just waiting
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: on an adoption. I said this in the description that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the listeners will see when they go over to my
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: social media. This cat is a survivor. Tell us the story.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: So old Man Jenkins is not only a little bit
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: older in age, but he also came from the same
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: abandoned home that Skips With the cat we featured a
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago. He's from the same home ass
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: Skip with, so he had been abandoned on his own
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: for a little bit. And when he came into the shelter,
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: we also discovered that he had a disease called pan
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: luc apina, which, if you're unfamiliar, it is a disease
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: pretty similar to parvo and dogs. It's mainly attackt unvaccinated
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: or very very young cats and kittens. And he actually
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: beat that. It's very uncommon to see an old cat
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: with pan luke, but he beat pan Luke and now
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: he is awaiting a hole at Petko.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Like you said, beautiful, beautiful cat. Gover and see the picture.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And then again if you're looking for a little bit
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: of an older cat and a survivor with a great story,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: it all turned out good and so for old man Jenkins,
• 9:45

  Speaker 9: some wonderful, wonderful people from Loewe's, two different loads in
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: our region come out and build us some playard furniture, which,
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: if you don't know, it's just structures that dogs can
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: play on playyard furniture. We had picnic tables built. They
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: beautified our recycling center, they built us a little gazebo
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: type situation. They just really worked all day long in
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: the pouring rain for us at the shelter, just to
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: make our area more enjoyable, enjoyable, and more beautiful. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: we are thankful for that, but not only thankful that

  Speaker 3: and where your friend that's it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so I grew up.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Was wrestling something that you always wanted to do?
• 14:41
  Speaker 13: I think it was around eight years old was when
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: I made the decision.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: I was like, pro wrestling is what I want to do.
• 14:45
  Speaker 13: I think before that it was rugby was the first thing,
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: then surfing as most Australians would go through that phase.
• 14:52
  Speaker 13: But yeah, then eight years old, it was from then
• 14:55
  Speaker 13: it was I know I wanted to be a pro wrestler.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Now we think sometimes about wrestling being a American thing,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: or maybe we think about it being big in Japan
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: and so like we don't always think about Australia. Now
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: we know about you know about your broadcast and the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: others coming into Australia, But is there a big pro
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: wrestling scene in Australia.
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: Uh, it's definitely getting bigger.
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: When I first started training, when I first started going
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: to the shows in Australia, it was it was quite small.
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: It didn't really have that kind of buzz around it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: But now with the Internet and stuff and word getting
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: around in streaming and things like that, yeah, it's the
• 15:26
  Speaker 13: scene's definitely growing and there's as you can tell, a
• 15:29
  Speaker 13: lot of great Australian wrestlers coming out nowadays.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: And you're twenty six is twenty six? Yeah, twenty six
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: years old. And when I say that you are, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: was gonna say you're on your way, You're already there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I mean you're the T and T champion and at
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: age twenty six, I mean you got big, big things
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: in front of you right.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Now, hopefully man.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And of course you know, aw as I mentioned,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: we were talking about the world wide thing. You guys
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: could be in Huntington tomorrow night, but you're all over
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the country and all over the world. You also did
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: a lot in Japan. Talk about your time in Japan.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: I did. Yeah, I loved my time in Japan.
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: I grew up being a big fan of New Japan
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: Pro wrestling, so it was a dream of mine to
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: go and work there.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: I got to spend a.
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: Bit of time there, won some titles in re Gokusumo Hall.
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: But yeah, the culture out there, the respect that they
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: have for wrestling is second to none, and I loved
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: my time there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Talk about some of the differences between being in Japan
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and being in the US as far as the wrestling
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: fans go.
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the fans, I'd say in Japan, it's something that
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: you have to adjust to because they are they are
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: really respectful and they'll sit there and they won't make
• 16:35
  Speaker 13: any noise, but it's just because they're paying such close
• 16:39
  Speaker 13: attention to what is happening in the ring, Whereas American
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: fans Australian fans as well, they're just so into it
• 16:46
  Speaker 13: that they that they want to make as much noise
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: as possible. They want to be a part of the show,
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: and they're just there to have fun. So it's definitely
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: you have to learn to kind of cater to the
• 16:55
  Speaker 13: different audiences you're in front of.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I talked to a lot of gas in the business
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and listeners know that I spent time into business as well,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and uh, and they talked about their first trips to
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Japan and they grew up watching it here. You know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: this is a lot of us was pretting it and
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: then they thought they were doing something wrong when they
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: went to Japan, and the fans weren't like yelling and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: screaming and losing their minds like they do in America.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Uh and in other places as well. But it's a
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: totally different culture and a lot of guys and and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and gals really like the Japanese style just it's different.
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean I grew up being a
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: huge fan of it, so I kind of went in
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: there with an understanding of what it was. But I
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: can I can see how it for a first time
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: on going over there, it can it can be a
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: shock man.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: We're talking to Ae w str Kyle Fletcher. By the way,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: we have a winner on our tickets. Want to say
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: congratulations to Kara Armstrong of South Charleston. She was a
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: winner of our tickets for the WVU game. Kara and
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a guesst A're gonna be going to Morgantown tomorrow setting
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: in the touchdown terrace for that game for the Mountaineers
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: in Utah. Kara Armstrong from South Charleston was our winner.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So congratulations to Kara. And your career really took off
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: doing some research in the tag team ranks, that's kind
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of where you were known as. But now you're doing
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: your thing as a singles wrestle. We'll talk about contrasting
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the styles.
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, going from me in a tag team,
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: it's very much like you have someone to bounce all
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: your ideas off someone to collaborate with and like kind
• 18:21
  Speaker 13: of proofread everything. It's kind of a joint thing. Whereas
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: being a singles wrestler, a lot of most of the
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: ideas of mine, everything that you see about my presentation
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: when I'm in the ring, the moves I want to do,
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: all that kind of thing, they're kind of my own
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: brain child. So's you kind of have to have a
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: total different level of trust in your own instincts because
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: you don't have that person to check you when your
• 18:43
  Speaker 13: ideas suck.
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: So yeah, so it's been a bit of an adjustment,
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: but I really feel like I'm finding my confidence in
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: the ring on my own. And yeah, I think having
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: the TNT Championship kind of proves that I would.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Hope and aew For those that that don't know, ad
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: A w started a few years ago, uh and and
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: and and you're it's a rising organization, has been you
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: know for some time. Uh And it's giving, you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: because for so long there was the one guys, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: then there were all the little ones. Hm, Okay, now
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it's not that way. I mean, you guys are doing
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: are doing amazing things and giving people and giving Here's
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: what I like about it. It gives fans an opportunity
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: to have different products and high level products.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, I think I think just since AW has been around,
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: the wrestling industry has changed so much and for the
• 19:35
  Speaker 13: better in so many different ways. Uh Yeah, Like you said,
• 19:38
  Speaker 13: fans have options now they can they can choose what
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: they want to watch and and wrestling for so long
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: was had to be a certain way and if.
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: It wasn't that way, it was wrong.
• 19:48
  Speaker 13: And AW really celebrates all kinds of wrestling, all walks
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: of wrestling.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: There's there's no right or wrong.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: It's just celebrating pro wrestling as a beautiful art form
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: in every single way. And uh I, I think the
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: industry is better for it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Kind of injuries have you sustained?
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: I have been touch wood, very lucky.
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: I think the worst one I had in Japan, I
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: did a moon salt from the back flip from the
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: top rope to the floor, over rotated a little bit
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: too much and smacked the back of my head on
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: a steel guard rail and seven stitches or something like that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: That that was the worst one. And that's pretty that's
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: pretty good for pro wrestling. I'll take that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: And I said that jin, you'll trip walking up the
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: steps here now, knocking on all the wood, knocking on
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: all the genuine simulated brick. Oh yeah, here in the studio.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: So now you're the T and T champion. But I
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: know the ultimate goal is to be the world champion.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: Of course. Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: I think I've known that. That's been my destiny for
• 20:52
  Speaker 13: since I was eight years old. It's it's what i've
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: what I've chased after. I just had my first shot
• 20:57
  Speaker 13: at the world title this past Saturday, all out against
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: Hangman Page. Took me to my limit, but it kind
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: of gave me that taste and now I'm even hungrier
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: and I know it's gonna happen very soon.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: And of course you're the T and T champion now,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and that's that's that's certainly nothing to be scoffed at him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: It's a pretty presidious champions huge accolade.
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah, And I think right now the focus is on
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: becoming the greatest T and T champion of all time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: And I think if I can get there, it just
• 21:24
  Speaker 13: goes goes along with my building that legacy and going
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: down as one of the greatest of all time.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: You not long ago got to win over the legendary
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Dustin Rhoades, son of the iconic one of my all
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: time favorite wrestlers of the American Dreams star dust Dusty
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Rhodes talk about beating a veteran like Dustin Rhads.
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah, like I said, it just things like that go
• 21:48
  Speaker 13: into building this legacy that I'm that I'm chasing after
• 21:51
  Speaker 13: someone like Dustin Rhodes, who's been There's some some stat
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: I think he's wrestled in five different decades, something ridiculous
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: that maybe the only wrestler to ever do that. So yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: for me as a twenty six year old to be
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: able to beat someone that caliber just goes to show
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: the kind of wrestler that I am. And yeah, keep
• 22:12
  Speaker 13: building that resume.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: And of course the big event is tomorrow night at
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: the Martiall Health Network Arena in Huntington, AW Collision. Talk
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: about who you're facing tomorrow name.
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: I am wrestling.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: I'm defending my teens championship against a man named Commander,
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: a young luchidore who have had one match with before
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: in the past, and that one that went pretty crazy.
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: So yeah, Commander's coming back off an injury. First match back,
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: I think he's pretty excited. I think I'm pretty excited.

• 22:45
  Speaker 3: For people that haven't seen you, Kyle talk about your style.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you spent the time in Japan,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: but you were also obviously native Australian and you come
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to America, where as you said with aw they like
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: to kind of blend the difference. There's so many different
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: styles out there. If you had to put yourself in
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: a category, what's your what's your one or two styles?
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: Possibly I like to think of my style as maybe
• 23:11
  Speaker 13: not so much a style, but I just love beating
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: people up so much, and I love picking people up,
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: dropping them on their heads, slamming them down as hard
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: as physically possible. I'm strong, I'm fast, I'm agile. I
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: can blend almost every style of wrestling together seamlessly with
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: an intensity that you have never seen before.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: So if that, if that rounds out.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Part, it's perfect. Perfect attributes for our our sales person here, Bobby,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: who's the one that brought you in the studio. She's
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: also the same way. She likes to beat people up
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: and drop them on their heads. Amazing, So it all
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: all kind of I'll give her a shot of my
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: championship stop for she's already said she wants to have
• 23:52

• 23:58
  Speaker 3: of thing now because I know you've made the rounds
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: and you guys are going to honeying to do some
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: TV today. So people, it's not just about the thirty
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to forty five minutes or maybe an hour that you
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: spend in the ring every night. There's a whole lot
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: that goes into it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, there is. I mean, this is my whole life.
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: Like I said, I've been fan since I was eight
• 24:16
  Speaker 13: years old. I've been training since I was fourteen years old.
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: I've been wrestling for nearly half my life. And yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: it is my whole life. I go home and it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: all I think about, it's all I watch. My whole
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: day is based around becoming the best professional wrestler I
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: possibly can and hopefully becoming the best professional wrestler of
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: all time one day.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: So yeah, it's not just not just what you see
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: in the ring. There's a whole lot that goes into it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the training aspect of it, because
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: that's a big part of it. What's an average training
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: day like for you? I know it's hard when you're
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: on the road, you know, of course, what do you
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: do to stay in shape?
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: Man, it's I'm in the gym six days a week
• 24:51
  Speaker 13: in the morning, I try and get my cardio in.
• 24:54
  Speaker 13: I'll do all my mobility type stuff, chiropracta every week, saunas,
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: all the recovery type stuff, and then yeah, on the
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: road it becomes difficult, but you just get it in
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: when you can. Nutrition is very important. I'm very dialed
• 25:07
  Speaker 13: in with that as well. So yeah, like I said,
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: as a full time job.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Honestly, people don't understand how important the cardio is on
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: it for sure. I mean you can have the big
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: you know, the awesome bodies and everything, but after about
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: ten minutes in, if you don't have the cardio, none
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: of it matters.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: That's it.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I just wrestled forty minutes this past weekend, So
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: there's nothing like in ring cardio.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: You got to get those reps in.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Who were and I know you guys got to go,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: but who are some of the folks that you watch
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: growing up that really really struck a fancy with you
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: if you want to do this.
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: Like I said, I'm twenty six, so I'm a bit younger.
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: My first, very first favorite was Jeff Hardy. He's the
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: one that really made me fall in love with wrestling,
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: and then from there it was my love of Japanese wrestling.
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: It was Jusianliga was one of my big guys. Prince
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: Devitt as well, and then Kenny Omega who was one
• 25:57
  Speaker 13: of the founders of AW in the end, they were
• 25:58

• 29:43
  Speaker 3: from the Little Victory's Shelter and they have an event
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: going on in South Charleston on Sunday. It is a
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: it's an ice event, like an ice skating type event,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, and this thing is huge and we're gonna
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: try to get her on the phone here momentarily to
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: talk about the event. And if we are unable to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: then I will definitely talk about the event. But Dave

• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I had a great time with that interview with AW
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: with the aw star there, Kyle Fletcher, I mean, just
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: super nice guy. Uh and uh, he's gonna do great
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: things in that in the business. He already is. I mean,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: he's already wrestled for the world championship and he's a
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: current T and T champion. He's just twenty six years old.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: It was amazing to me to find out that so
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: far at twenty six, the only serious injury he's had
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: or stitches. That's because people don't understand this about the
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: wrestling business. They think, oh, you know, it's this and
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: it's that, and those guys don't really get hurt. Talk
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to any wrestler over the edge of forty and watch
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: him walk. I mean, there is no easy way to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: get slammed onto a floor. You get slammed onto a floor,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: it hurts. You go through a table, it hurts.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Period.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of the pay. That's why I
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: did the announcing thing as opposed to the wrestling thing.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: That's the that's the whole reason I did that, all right,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: So I wan't to talk about an event that's going
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: to be going on in South Charleston and it is
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: happening on Sunday over at the Memorial Ice Arena and
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: the benefits Little Victory Animal Rescue group. It's called Paul's
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: on Ice. Stephanie Howe's with the group and she joins
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: us now to talk about it. Good morning, Stephanie, welcome
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: to the show.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Well, good morning, it's I'm glad to be here.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: All right. Yeah, well, I'm glad to have you here
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: as well. So talk about this big event, because you
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: and I were talking on the phone yesterday about this,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: and yeah, it's a great fundraiser for the organization, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: we'll get in that a little bit later on. But
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, folks are into the into the whole Ice Games.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: This is a great opportunity for them to see some
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: world class people right here in South Charleston.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Yes it is.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: And you know, even if you're not into ice skating
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: and you've got kids or something like that, this is
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: a great opportunity to have a Sunday evening family night out.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: The skaters are literally world renowned JD and Alexis Rappole.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: They have skated in fifty countries on cruise ships. They
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: hold againess World World Book of Records, and Madison didn't
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: say she too was world renowned. She skates on ships
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: and she's incredible. And then we're flying somebody in her
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: name's Angela Wang and she does cruise ships and things
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: like that. So this is an event that's been never
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: done before for a fundraiser that we know of. So
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: these skaters are all coming together from all over the
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: country to do this event for Little Victories.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: And let's talk about Little Victories for a little bit.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Okay, for those of your listeners that don't know, Little
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: Victories is a no kill animal rescue in owner West
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Virginia and we are not huge. We don't get any
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: funding from city, county or anything like that. All the
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: money that's raised is my job, and so these events
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: like this fundraiser are what helped keep us going. We
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: have fifty five cats, I mean fifty five dogs and
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: thirty five cats. Our cats are in a free roaming
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: cat house, so they're not in cages or anything like that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: It's literally a three bedroom, two bath house and they
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: have free ring, which is pretty cool.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I love that. I love the fact that they can
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: do that, I mean, and and I love the fact
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: that we have a lot of great volunteers because you look,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: you know, we we do animal rescue groups and organizations
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: on the air of the time. We just featured one
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, out of Huntington a couple
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: of days ago on our our Wonderful West Virginian segment
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: that Amanda Baron and I do on Metro News Midday,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: and they talk about the need for this and there's
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: such a there's such an issue, uh, with our with
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: our strays out there, cats, dogs and sometimes other things.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, God bless you folks that are that are
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: doing this sort of thing. But you can't do it
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: if you if you don't have money to pull it off.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: And that's where these events, that's where these events come at.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And big hats off to these folks that are going
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: to be at the at the Ice Arena in South
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Charleston on Sunday, because I mean, they could be doing
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: a hundred and two hundred other things, but they're choosing
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: to be here to help out a great cause, right.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: And one of the cool things this all went down
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: like in a six week saying because all the skaters
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: are getting ready to go out to do their contracts.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: Some of them are going on cruise ships. Jad and
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Alexis are going up to New York to do a
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: big show through Christmas. So I mean they really do
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: have someplace else they could be and not skating on
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: their time off. But it's not going to only be
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: the professionals. It's going to be some learn to Skate,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: which are people that are just learning to skate. The
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: ice hockey team is going to do a performance to
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: Who Let the Dogs Out? Which ought to be a
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: cute same love them exactly. And then what's really fun
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: too is at intermission we're going to do a Frosty
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: Palls walk across the ice. So we have seven or
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: eight dogs that are going to walk across the ice
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: and they're all adoptable and it'll be like a little
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: parade of adoptable dogs.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: That sounds great again, We're talking to Stephanie. How about
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: this big ice event? This is going to be going
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: on over at South Charles's raising money for Little Victories,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: The Dave Island Show and five Any Life is brought
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: to you in part by Hustin's Pizza. This month, pick
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: up a large at inch pepperoni pizza and an order
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: of six meatballs twenty four ninety nine dining delivery or pickup.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Visit Huston's Pizza dot com. And you know you mentioned
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: about them doing the performance to Who Let the Dogs Out.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: That's one of the things that I like about because
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: for so long and I consider skating to be an
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: art somebody who can barely walk up and down steps
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: without falling, Okay, I have no ability whatsoever in that,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: but one of the things I like about skating and
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: then you can And I had somebody on from the
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: West Virginian Symphony last week and we were talking about
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: some of the things that they do. One of the
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: things I like about where we've kind of come right
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: now is these things that are art likes and as
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: like I said, skating is art to me. It's athleticism obviously,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: but there's a lot of art involved as well. They're
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: starting to embrace it's not just you know, you just
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: don't hear the pretty classical music when you go out.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: You hear contemporary stuff. And I love that kind of thing.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Talk about that a little.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Bit, well, I mean, you kind of have to move
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: on with ages. It's I grew up doing gymnastics, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: it was the same thing. It was classical music, you know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: very boring piano pieces and things like that. And now
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: they are allowing these quote unquote artists to pick their
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: own thing that's something that fits their personality, which I
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: think that's important, and it also keeps the audiences engaged.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: You know, if you're sitting there listening to songs you
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: don't know, you might lose your train of thought, you know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: not stay concentrated. But I think the fact that they
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: can pick their own pieces the songs, and one of
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: the things that the skaters we're talking about is they
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: normally when they go to do a show that's on
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: a ship, everything's choreographed for them. And this I show
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: has given them the opportunity to do their own choreography
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: and show more of their own personality. So I want
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: your listeners to realize this is such a huge opportunity
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: and you can They can get their tickets now and
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: if they get them at the door, which they are available,
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: but they're five dollars more the day of the show.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: So if they want to get tickets now, it's at
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Little Victories dot Org and they can hit the events
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: page and you can buy your tickets there and there's
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: two levels of tickets. You can get a thirty dollars
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: ticket general admission, or you can get the fifty dollars
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: ticket and that gives you a meet and greet, so
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: you can go in and get your picture made with
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: the professional ice skaters, the programs, you can have your
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: program signed by the skaters. And then we also have
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: the cozy lounge with the pups and you can go
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: in with your meet and greet and meet the skaters
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: and the dogs. So just in the plus, the extra
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: twenty dollars is twenty dollars for Little Victories, so you're
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: providing medicine and things like that for dogs and cats.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: And I also do want to mention that my Metro
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: News Midday co host Amanda Baron alongside Marrily mccalluff, we're
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: going to be in seeing the event, right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, they are actually board president works at w w
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: K and when this all came about, I said to Bill,
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: I'm like, do you think somebody from the station would
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: be willing to mc and Amanda and marri Lee both said, yeah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: we'll do it, so you'll get to come out and
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: see them live instead of just on air, and you
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: know you might be able to if they stick around,
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: you might get to do a meet and greet with
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: them as well.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Well, it's really not that big a deal with Amanda,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's it's not that big a deal
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: to meet Amanda, just so you know.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she's I think I think she'll be very nice
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: to people and let them meet her.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: She's awesome, so she really I hope she's not listening
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: to this because I want to give her the big head.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: But she's all right, she's alright, we have fun. I'm
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: sure she's like the little sister I never needed.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: But anyways, a good girl.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: So and i'll pay. I'll pay good money if you can.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: And I don't know about their athletic backgrounds, but I
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: know Amanda has told me that she was. She did
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of athletic stuff. I'm sure Merrily probably did too.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: But if you can get either one of them out
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: on skates, I'll make a donation of little victories.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: How's that?
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I think either if I get them on, get
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: either of them on skates or not, you still should
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: make a donor.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, all right, all right, all right, duly noted.

  Speaker 3: several you and delegates, many from Muslim countries, have walked

  Speaker 3: out as Net and Yahoo took the podium as a texture.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure what that's about, because I'm kind
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: of busy right now, but I do appreciate the text
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: on We'll look into it. Maybe talk about that on
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Metro News midday. Let me see text says and Dave,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: I know you really don't care about agriculture, which is
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: ironic due to your proclaim proclaimed love of food. But
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: did you see the recent news about American agriculture. Trump
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: is going to bail out the farmers because they can't
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: sell their product due to his tariffs. Farmers New China
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be buying corn and soybeans, but planted them anyway.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: These people made a bad decision and now want the
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: government to financially help them fix their mistake. Does that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: sound familiar to the student loan forgiveness? It does to me.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Socialism for me but not for THEE is the motto
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: of the GOP. That was a great job with the
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: rhyming there. From the texture, I'll say that Tex says, Yes,
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: people need to know that not all animals needing forever
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: homes are at the shelter. Please remember rescues that offices
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: and clinics when adopting or donated. And I uh one
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: percent agree with that, and I know Angie Gillenwater, who
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: we have on every Friday from the Cadal Charleston Humane Association,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: would say the exact same thing. There are very if
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: you want to you wanna forever pet and a texture
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: gets credit for spelling it if you are which is
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: the way we pronounce it in southern West Virginia. Anyway,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I would say that there are if you want a
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: pat there are various places to get them, and we
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: think about the shelter because we have a great working
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: relationship here. But Angie will be the first to tell
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: you there are other places. You know, look into these
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: or just help out. And here's the thing about it,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: when it comes to pets, not everybody can have a
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: house or yard full of dogs and cats. And I
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: completely get this. Some can't have any at all. You
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: live in an apartment, or you know, maybe you're allergic.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Still love pets, but you're allergy to it. That's understandable.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: There's so many different ways that you can help that
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: don't even involve taking in an animal. I mean from donations,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: volunteering time. A lot of people are willing, a lot
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: of people do that. You know, you can be a foster.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: You can do so many things, so great point there

• 47:34
  Speaker 3: and somebody said, hey, you need to focus on these folks,

• 47:57
  Speaker 3: real issue with panhandling, and as many areas in the
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: state here, we've talked about it extensively here in Charleston.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: I know in Morgantown it was a big deal, a
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: lot bigger big deal in Morgantown, it wasn't Charleston, to
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: be honest with you. Well, Daniel Hall is a county
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: commissioner in Raleigh County and they are looking to enact
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: a ordnance and still in the beginning stages, but they're
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: looking to enact an ordinance that would in effect band panhandling.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to Daniel Hall about that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Political columnist Mark Curtis will join us as he does
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: every Friday, and Daniel Woods for the Metro News sports
• 48:30

  Speaker 3: Utah coming up tomorrow afternoon. Marshall on the road taking
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: on Louisiana State, a big one for West Virginia State,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned, as they are observing homecoming states great
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: college games. I'm rocking my Georgia gear today, all right,

• 48:57
  Speaker 3: Georgia is taking on Alabama. We're going to spank some
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Crimson tide tomorrow and so I've got my Georgia stuff on.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: So bottom line is we are going to talk about
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: that in the Football Blitz with Daniel coming up during
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: the two o'clock hour, Metro News Midday with thirteen News
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: and Tight Live anchor Banda Baron and Me coming up
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: at noon today. It's brought to you by Selango Law
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: on this show. Monday, on the local show, Lisa Odie
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: is going.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: To join us.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: You may have heard her on the on the car
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Lee podcast. She's going to join us on the show
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: on Monday, as will Danny Jones from Charleston, Maya. That's
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: coming up on Monday's show. Morgan Pemberton has a story
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: wv Metronews dot com this morning, and we talked about
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: this on the last two local shows last night. The
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Canaw County Commission did as expected and voted to move
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: forward on a two million dollar project to upgrade the
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: law enforcement training facilities here in the county. Good move here,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, because not only do law enforcement agencies
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: in Canaw County and the surrounding areas use it, but
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: organizations like the DEA, FBI, Customs, Homeland Security, they all
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: use this great stuff. Good on the Canaw County Commission
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: for doing this last night. I know I had commissioned
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: President Selango on the show Wednesday and Sheriff Joe Crawford
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: on the show yesterday. So me one hundred percent behind this.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: It's a great thing for the area. And if you
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: want to read exactly how it's gonna work, still in
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: the planning stages. Morgan Pemberton's got the story at wv
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Metronews dot com. And I hope you had a chance
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: to listen to the interview that I did yesterday on
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Metro News Midday with the new WVU President Michael T. Benson. Now,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: he's been all over the state of West Virginia. Yesterday
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: he was in Logan County and went down in the
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: mines at Mountain Laurel in the Sharples area, and then
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: he headed to Boone County. That's where he was when
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: we talked to him on the show yesterday. And of
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: course he's been all over Charleston the last couple of days.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Who's at George Washington High School, went down to Lincoln
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: County for a little white Lincoln County High as well.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Today he is at the Buckwheat Festival in Preston County
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: and then back to the University of this afternoon for
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: that ceremony where they're going to be naming the WVU
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Coliseum the Hope Gas Colisseum. I'll say this about President Benson.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: I like the guy. I really really do. We've interviewed him,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: he's been president now for a couple of months. We've
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: interviewed him two three times on the show. I really
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: really like the guy, full of enthusiasm, is really taking
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: into West Virginia culture. Told us a story yesterday about
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: going to Tutor's Biscuit for the first time, not realizing
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: that that particular Tutors that he went to in Morgantown
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: closes at two o'clock and he was trying to get
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: his fix on his mouth. Of course, he's going to
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: get the Mountaineer. Can't get the thunder and hurt. You know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: he's going to get the Mountaineer. And we had to
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: educate him on that a little bit. I told him
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: a couple of other things that he needs to do
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: to be a true West Virginia and he's on his way.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I just like the guy, I really really do. I
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: think he's doing great things in Morgantown. I think he
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: will do great more things in Morgantown. And as far
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: as the stadium naming rights, I know a lot of
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: people don't like it, but look it is. It is
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: a necessary evil. I don't even want to call it evil.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: It's just necessary in the world of athletics today and
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: now in college sports, which is a big business. It's
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: always been a big business that just what you know
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: about quadrup Over the last couple of years, you got
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: to name them. The stadiums have to be named. And
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: the coliseum in Morgantown was probably one of the last
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: of the larger colleges that didn't have naming rights. Well
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: it's name now it's the Hope Gas Coliseum. I think
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: they're going to kind of shorten it to the Hope Coliseum.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to have the CEO of Hope Gas on
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: the show on Metro News Midday on Monday, so we're
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: looking forward to that conversation with him that I think
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: press event. I think it's early this sapterning. I want
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: to say one o'clock with the WV folks and Hope
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Gas folks. So anyway, I just want to get that
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: in about Michael Benson. I really like the guy. I
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: like this guy too, TJ. Meadows, how's it going, man?
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Would you rather it be named by some big, huge
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: global company that has no West Virginia time, or that
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: nobody knows what it means? You know, because we've seen,
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, with all due respect to the Steelers aquer
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: S Stadium, a lot of people had no idea what
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: that was. I mean, I like the fact that it's
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: a West Virginia company. It's a necessity to your point.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: I like that it's a West Virginia company. And for
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: those that are saying, well, hope, yeah, shouldn't be able
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: to do that. They're a public utility. Look, it's out
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: of their profit. It's not out of your money. It's
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: it's what do they make. And there's nothing wrong with
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: a company making a profit. We open up that can
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: of square. You're preaching to the choir here, buddy. All right,
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: we got Meadows of Wilson going up a talk line.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: I'll see later today for Metro News midday.
• 53:18
  Speaker 20: Till then, have fun and love somebody.
