• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Well, after I retired last last May year ago this
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: past May, I had thirty five years in the system,
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: and I just felt like this is something that I
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: needed to do. You know, I'm passionate about education. Uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: you know, the kids, the students, the staff. I just
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: felt like that I could, I could keep contributing to,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: you know, helping everyone involved with you know, conall county schools,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: but just in a in a different, in different manner.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Talking again with Lisa Odie, who has was sworn in

• 5:37
  Speaker 5: in at Huston's Pizza dot Com and Lisa, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I want, let's face it here. I mean, several boards
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: of education across the state have got some very very
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: difficult decisions to make with population laws and solidations closing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: And you know that's bearing out in Canawa County too.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: It's not going to be easy.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: No, I mean, you're right day that there's the budget
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: it you know, it seems like it's shrinking, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: due to many factors. You know what you just said
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: in giving me this question. And you know, also the
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: whole scholarship is you know, kind of putting us squeeze
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: on most of the county systems in the state. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: we're just gonna have to look at ways to advertise
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: what we can offer with public schools so that you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: we can we can stop the bleeding of our students
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: leaving us and you know, pursuing other avenues for their
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: educational opportunities. You know, we need, we need to make
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: sure people understand that, you know, we provide a world
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: class education here in Kanawh County and we have so many,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: so many different curriculums that are excellent, staff that are excellent,
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: and you know, it's it's free, it's free and appropriate
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: public education. And we need to make sure that everyone
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: knows what we can give them.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: And so many parents and again this is not exclusive
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: to Canagh County, uh, Lisa, We talked about it on
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: the show and the Metro News Midday every day. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: many parents, for one reason or another are choosing alternatives
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: to what we knew is traditional education, not throwing off
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: on it. I think every parent should have a right
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: to do what they want to do. But there are
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: several alternatives. But back when you and I were in school,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: you had your religious schools here or there, and that
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: was pretty much it. And now there's homeschooling, uh, there's
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: as you mentioned, the Hope Scholarship, there's charter schools. There's
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: so many, you know, different paths to uh to an
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: education other than than just public schools. And you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: it's there are a lot of there are a lot
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: of parents for one reason another are choosing alternate routes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: That certainly is there, right, But I think you folks
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: in the public school system want to step up and say, look,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: we're still here and we're still doing it right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Dave. I mean I would never step between
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: you know, a family and their decision on how to
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: educate their children. That that is a personal choice. But
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: what I do believe is they need to make sure
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: they explore all the options of public schools, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: to make sure that we can't you know, meet their needs.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think sometimes the things that we're doing
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: out there are hidden and you know, you've got we
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: need to make sure that they know what's available, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: we also have to, you know, make sure day that
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: we have some guardrails on some of these other opportunities.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: You know, public schools are held to a certain standard.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: You know, we need to make sure that all the
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: other options for education educating our students, you know, they
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: have standards as well that are just as stringent as
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: you know, what we're doing in public schools.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Also want to mention that Kate white was is the
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: new board president. It was a unanimous vote. You can
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: read more about it the w c Anchius network dot com.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Ricavitor served in that role for two years and the
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: way it works is somebody else steps up, So now
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: it's Kate Whitest. We'll try to have her on a
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: future show. What are you most looking forward to as
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: a board member once you get in? He had your
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: first meeting last time, But once you get in, really
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: down to the nitty gritty, Lissa, what are you really
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: looking forward to the most?
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm just looking forward to making a difference.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I want. I want to be sure that I'm the
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: voice that the community needs sitting, you know, there at
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: that table when we have these meetings every month. Uh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: you know, I want to consider every single thing that
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: has brought to my attention. I want to make sure that,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: you know, I get feedback. I'm more than happy to
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: have people, you know, reach out to me at my
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Facebook page which is Lisa Odie Cacsboe. I updated it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: You can also, you know, reach me still at my

• 9:23
  Speaker 6: You know, I want to be a representative of our
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: community and make things better for our students and staff
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: in Kanal County.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: You know something else that came out of the meeting
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: last night, and again you can read more about it
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: the w c HS network dot com. The board voted
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: to transfer the old Hoover High the property and everything
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: that goes along with us and the fields to the
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: city of Clendenna. That was that was a unanimous vote.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: There should be good for that community.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I think it's an awesome move. Dave, you know that
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: that land is just sitting there. I'm pretty sure with
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: SEMA regulations, you know, once an area like that has
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: you know, been reclaimed with flooding, you're not allowed to
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: have any type of structures. But you know, to make
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: it a community park. I think that that the town
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: of Plendon and has some really great ideas about having
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: you know, walking trails, maybe a picnic area, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: make that that beautification of that area and also accessible
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: to everyone to enjoy, you know, the river and everything
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: that you know it has to offer.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Before we let you go, I do want to give
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: you an and I had you on the show after
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: the election, but I do want to give you the
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: opportunity to think, because not anybody that runs for office,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: everybody around them runs, you know, whether it's a spouse
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: or kids, or friends or whatever. Everybody's in it. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: I'll give you a chance to thank the people that
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: put you where you are.

  Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, first of all, I want to thank all

  Speaker 8: and I were at Regatta and the Capitol doing all
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: the things. I did no laundry all weekend because I
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: was just having fun. And that is a great weekend.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Did you ride in the ferris Wheel at the Capitol
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Meal I.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: Did, and I will tell you I am not scared
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: of heights, and I was a little bit scared, but
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: my four year old loved it, of course.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: It's amazing how when you're young you seemingly have no fear,
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: and then when you get old, like I am, You're like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not doing that. I mean, you he
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: lost your mind? Did you did you choose a particular
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: president to go up in or did you just take
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: the first one that came along.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: You can't really choose, you know, just like well, at
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: least I couldn't. Maybe if I was the governor, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: could choose. But I just got the George W. Bush
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: car and I and I was like, all right, let's
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: He just celebrated his eightieth birthday yesterday. He and Sylvester
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: stallone on the same day.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Oh, I did not know that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: I just I got. I got all kinds of foolish information.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: How was Taylor in Travis's wedding? Because I know you
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: were there.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: I'm not a swiftye. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: it looked I mean, I'm waiting for the non Ai
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: photos to drop took everyone else.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm curious Adam Sandler did the wedding, So any
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: wedding that Adam Sandler does has got to be has
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: got to be pretty good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm thinking. I mean, I'm a little jealous
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: he didn't officiate my wedding, so well maybe.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: That I started to say, well, maybe next time. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: that's not renewal of vows for you, Amelia, renewal of vows?
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: How's that? In all seriousness?
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I talked to you yesterday. We were setting up the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: interview and you were traveling for a story. Are you
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: at liberty to discuss what that was or oh?
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean in general, yes, one, I cannot. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: don't want to get scooped by Brad Macklehenny who's always.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: On on it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: But I was just traveling around talking to childcare centers
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: and individuals about both the potential cuts to the childcare
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: subsidy program under the Morrissey administration and the potential I
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: don't know cuts or not happening of the Clothing Doubt
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Your program that helps low income kids afford back to
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: school clothes. So I was just getting perspective and information
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: outside of Charleston.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say, that's good on you
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: for that, you know, because there's story. I mean, it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: good that you hit the road to be able to
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: do that yesterday to kind of get some other perspective
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: as well. You spent a lot of time, of course,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: covering issues pertaining to kids, and Brad you mentioned, has
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: the lead story this morning wv metronews dot com that
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: attorneys for the state are asking a federal district judge
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: to pump the brakes on a lawsuit over foster care
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: while they can get a review of the Supreme Court.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Just a little background here to kind of catch everybody up,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: and again you can go to the website and read more.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Last year, US District Judge Joseph Goodwin dismissed a class
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: action lawsuit about conditions in the foster care system in
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: West Virginia. That's according to Brad's words, concluding the federal
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: court system does not have the jurisdiction to set the
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: policies that are carried out by other branches of government.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: So last month of panel at the Fourth Circuit reversed
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the dismissal and send it back to Judge Goodwin's Court. Now,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Attorney General JB. McCuskey has I know it's a lot
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: of legal talk, has entered a motion for a stay
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: in Judge Goodwin's court, and lawyers asking for the judge
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: to pause the district court proceedings or to provide additional
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: discovery with their words, pending resolution by the US Supreme
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Court of a petition to allow the defendants to file
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: end quote. I know it's a lot. I know it's
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: a lot. Brad breaks it all down at the website.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I don't excuse me, I don't expect you to weigh
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: in on all that. But again, bottom line I read
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: for this, we still have major issues with the foster
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: care system and in the court system as well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it boils down to this.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: The Attorney General's office wants to once the Supreme Court
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: to say, does a federal court have the authority to
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: tell West Virginia to clean up its foster care system?
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: And I think the legal question there is the authority
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: of the court.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: But also does.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: That mean then the foster care system shifts into some
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: type of court oversight, which is than state oversight different
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: branches of government. So it kind of boils down to that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: But I think it's also important to note that this
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: case was filed in twenty nineteen. This is actually how
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: I started covering foster care that many years ago. I
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: read all pages of this I think three hundred page lawsuit,
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: and I was shocked at what was alleged.
• 19:21
  Speaker 15: And has since been confirmed in many cases.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Was going on in the foster care system. And so
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: as this goes to Supreme Court, that was legal questions
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: from the Attorney General. But as they now petition the
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: US Supreme Court, which can be a very lengthy process,
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: that is another delay in these children having their trial
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: in court potentially or even delaying fixes that these attorneys
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: are seeking.
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: To mandate for these kids.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: And some of those fixes are not sending as many
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: kids out of state to institutions that are dangerous, the
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: extremely high.
• 19:57
  Speaker 15: Case loads that social workers.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Continue to have in West Virginia that can and does
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: put foster kids at risk for being overlooked in their
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: cases and not vetting homes properly. And so those are
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: just some of the allegations that these attorneys are hoping
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: the state will clean up for the foster care system,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: and this petition to the US Supreme court is going
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: to be another delay in seeing how this would play
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: out in a courtroom.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: And it's pretty sad that you talked about this is
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: how you get started covering the foster care system and
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: begin with we're talking about twenty nineteen. I mean, this
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: is what infuriates a lot of people. And I'm not
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: going to be one to point fingers whatever. I'm just saying,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: this is what infuriates a lot of people. You're talking
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: about something from twenty nineteen.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And it's not as I said. You know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: it's a lawsuit, so of course we're going to use
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: words like allegations. But my reporting and reporting from other
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: great reporters in the state has shown that many of
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: those allegations were in fact verified by government documents. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: have done numerous stories about using foster children to out
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: of state institutions where there were dangerous practices happening, sexual assault, etc.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: We've had to bring kids home because of those abused
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: allegations to out of state facilities. So you know, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: can't say, yes, everything in this lawsuit is true, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: we have heard state officials testify that CPS workers still
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: have way too many cases, So you know, it's important
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: to note too, this is a class action lawsuit that
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: foster children themselves are bringing against the state with the
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: help of local and national attorneys. So they are hoping
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: that by putting their name in it and their initials
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: to bring reforms to the system.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Again, we're talking with the Millia nicely from West Virginia.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Watching now we hear word of the last couple of
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: weeks about a child dying in foster care in Mingo County.
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: Yes, and this goes kind of right back to what
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: we were talking about. I mean, this story is about
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: as complicated as the lawsuit that you explained very well.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: But in short, we have a four month old foster
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: child who died in the care of a foster parent
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: or a kinship placement. We're not quite sure yet who
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: was using illegal substances in front of the baby, also
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: allowed the biological mother to see the baby, who was
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: also using illegal substances in front of the child. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: believe it was the foster parent. One of the either
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: the bioparent or the foster parent, went to sleep, woke
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: up twelve hours later.
• 22:25
  Speaker 15: And the baby had died.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: And there are a lot of questions about how was
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: this home vetted that this infant was placed in and
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: why did a CPS worker not know that the biological
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: mother continued to have contact that she was not supposed
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: to have with the baby. So I actually just filed
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: some freedom of information after quest yesterday. I'll be honest,
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: those typically take about six months to materialize. But I
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: am trying to figure out what was the vetting process.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: And Delegate Adam burgh Hammer of Republican from Lewis County
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: was on talk line yet yesterday. He is the leading
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: foster care reform lawmaker. He's a foster parent. He pointed out, again,
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: our social workers have way too many cases and when
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: they have high case loads, things like this could happen
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: because they don't have time to properly check up on
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: these homes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: What are the what's the statistics on average of how
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: many cases that the average worker out in the field
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: they average a foster care study, what's what's the average?
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so best practice is twelve to fifteen cases per worker.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: You know, social workers are mandated to visit kids, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: believe once a month, both out of state in state,
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: So that's about an average caseload they should have. Delegate
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: Burghammer yesterday said we have some caseworkers that have up
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: to fifty cases, and we've heard state officials day I
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: believe it was like twenty five to thirty in March.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: So either way, it is not where.
• 23:53
  Speaker 15: It needs to be.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: And I've been contacted by CPS workers who say, especially
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: in rural counties, they're carrying thirty cases at a time.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's just insane. I mean, you know
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: that you would have that many. So does the problem
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: lie that, I know, we have plenty of openings in
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: the system. And look, my utmost respect for anybody that
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: can do that for a living, because I mean, let's
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: face it, the pay ain't.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Great, yeah, and the work is very Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: It's not a nine to five job either. And the
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: things that you're asked to do, to go into homes
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: and listen to parents say and maybe they will at
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: some point saying well, you know, I'll change, Please don't
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: do that, and the trouble with the child. I cannot
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: fathom having to go through something like that A million.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's I think pay plays into it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: I think we have a declining population and not a
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: great workforce available, but great, I mean not a high
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: number of available individuals to work. But I think it
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: like staffing has to be a priority for this administration.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: And instead this session, instead of a bill to increase
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: CPS workers or increase pay, we saw a governor priority
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: bill was to give him more authority to move CPS workers.
• 25:08
  Speaker 15: Around to high needs areas.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: Because they're supposed to kind of stay in the region
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: where they're hired.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: And that's fine.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: I mean sure, if there's if there's an emergency in
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: Harrison County, I guess it's fine the Kanowa County worker
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: moves there for a bit. But that doesn't that's just
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: shuffling chairs on a boat deck, right, Like, that's not
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: actually having more workers. So I think I heard Delegate
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: bar Camer say yesterday if he could get any bill
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: through right now, it would be to hire additional CPS workers.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: But we have not seen this administration want to spend
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: a ton of money on child welfare, so I'm not
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: sure how that will go.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Talking to Millia Nicely from West Virginia, watched twenty six
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Away from Tampa Dave Island Show in five vide line
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: brought to you impired by the All New Generations Ford
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: to Hurricane visit generations for dot com. Now you also
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: wrote about this, and I know I think it was
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: covered a little bit on talk line when last week,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: but almost to see if you have an update here
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: this new fireworks tax that it's kind of stalled out.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: There was supposed to be a tax pasted a couple
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: of years ago on fireworks since it's to help the
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: VA and now installed out.
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: What's the story there, Yeah, so we're still collecting this
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: twelve percent safety tax on fireworks. Lawmakers put it in
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: place about ten years well, yeah, ten years ago when
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: they legalized high power fireworks in West Virginia that were
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: already legal in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We are still collecting
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: tax on it, but it brought into about one point
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: five million dollars last year. But a portion of that
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: tax is supposed to fund veterans and it's specifically supposed
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: to help us build a new veterans hospital in Beckley.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Right now, we only have one VA hospital in Clarksburg,
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: and that has been stalled for years because the federal
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: money has not come through and we continue to wait
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: for it. It has, yeah, it just hasn't come yet.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: And so we have both state dollars that were earmarked
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: by then Governor Jim Justice. We have fireworks tax money,
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: it's all ready to go, but the project awaits federal
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: VA funding. And I know when I talk to Senator
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Justice's office in December about this, he was frustrated. But
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: there's really been no movement. Here we are in July
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: and so there's just a big lot of land in
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: Beckley where they broke ground several years ago that nothing
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: has happened.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: So well, hopefully, because I mean, if you can't take
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: care I mean there's two examples right there. You can't
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: take care of the kids, you can't take care of
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: the veterans. I mean, I don't know that. You have
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: a whole lot going on. So hopefully they'll be able
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: to get this worked out. Now you're all, I think
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: to cover some sort of a press conference later, you
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: and some other folks in the media what's going on there,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: and then we'll let you go.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we have a new group that is forming with
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: public school employees that is focused on saving public schools.
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: As you know, we've been talking a lot this summer
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: about public school funding. Emergency is I feel like it's
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: we've been talking key about it for years, but it's
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: really ramped up this summer with more schools projected to close,
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: and so we're going to have some type of official
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: launch this morning of a group within public school employees
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: of them really wanting to fight for funding for their schools.
• 28:12
  Speaker 15: So that's all I.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: Know so far, and I'll have more labor today.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: We're going to get into that later today on Metro
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: News Midday as well. Millia nicely check out our work
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: in West Virginia. Watch fol on social media as well.

  Speaker 5: eight fifty eight tonyven Taylor text three zero four nine
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: three five five zeros zero eight. It's just, you know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: amazing in talking to Amelia, and you know, it's preaching,
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: you know, with a lot of my listeners, and I'm
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: preaching to the choir, you know when we talk about this.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: But so many issues with the foster care system. And look,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: I don't have the answers. I mean, I do not
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: have the answers, and apparently our elected officials do not either,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: because this has been Amelia pointed out that what originally
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: got her covering the foster care system in West Virginia
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: started in twenty nineteen, think about twenty nineteen. I wasn't
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: even doing this show in twenty nineteen. Okay, we hadn't
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: had COVID yet. Taylor wasn't even dating Travis Kelcey at
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: that point. All right, just saying, just saying, and every
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: year it's just I don't know, editorializing here. We spend
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: so much time uner the Capitol talking about so many
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: things that really really just don't make any sense. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: I know what I get what I hear A lot
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: from people's well, you can do two things at once.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: I agree. I agree, elected officials, you can do two, three, four,
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: or five things at once, but you're not doing the
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: big one. You're not doing the big one. And so
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: that's what angers a lot of people like me and
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: a lot of people like you. Is okay, you say this,
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: elected officials, talking to you and many members of a legislature,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: you say this, that we can work on these social issues,
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: we can make it legal to eat this, we can
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: knock off this regulation. And look, I'm all for that,
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: I get it, and we can still work on fund Well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: the problem is you're not doing it. That's the problem.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: That's the problem. And as Amelia said, the average best
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: case practices, what was it ever?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: She used?
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I think ten fifteen something like that, And many these
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: workers in West Virginia are dealing with forty and fifty cases.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, imagine being a and I'm not trying to
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: necessarily equate two, but imagine being in a in a
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: classroom type setting, okay, and trying to educate those of
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: you that are teachers or remember your days, will trying
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: to educate forty and fifty kids at once, Right, that's
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: what imagine forty and fifty different cases, when you got
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: drugs involved, when you got piss poor parenting involved. I mean,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: this is what you know.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: I'm an easy one guy. I don't get upset about much.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: But this upsets me greatly. This upsets me greatly. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: we just keep every year, every time saying we're going
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: to do something about it. We're gonna do something about it.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: And the problem is we don't do anything about it,
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: and in the meantime it gets worse and worse and worse.

  Speaker 5: flat budgets low pay, eliminating civil service protections and downsizing
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: the government made the foster care situation worse. Seems like
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: you all lied watch for these scoundrels to propose the
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: private sector solution to foster care, says a text text.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: I think one big issue with taking the Hope Scholarship
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: for some parents, the school's only paying lip service to
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: bullying and not actually doing anything about it. Today when
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the kid is bullied over and over again, but then
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: they finally reached their breaking point and stand up for themselves,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: they actually get in trouble for doing what a lot
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: of times many parents told them to do and fight back.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Taught by the school that once you stand up, then
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: you're going to get in trouble too, So I even
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: bother says texture texts from yesterday's conversation I was having
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: with Danny Jones. He was talking about one of his
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: friends he was sitting down with in California. Made it
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: a negative comment about coal mining, and the lady cringed
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: when he said he was from a state of coal miners, Texas.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: The lady cringe because he mentioned the fact someone made
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: a choice about working in a coal mine. Basically the
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: equivalent of sticking her snooty nose up, just looking down
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: and disgustedly saying you live there. This is your new
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Democrat Party people. They're not working class like West Virginia
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: coal miners. They are despicable elite college progressive that is
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: your new Democratic Party. Despicable elitees. None of those things
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: much apply to metroduced meteorology. Brian Hughes, How you doing, man?
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I give be despicable then too, But it's only
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: what I watched despicable me the book.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, we all can all right, all right, So
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: I just asked you.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I know you're busy.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: I just ask you start by briefly, though, to talk
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: about this. These weather systems that we keep having. We
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: had one yesterday, as I said, five five thirty years
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: sold that rolled through the area I was in. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: was at home in Tayse Valley, and my cats, who
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: don't normally pay attention to anything outside.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Walk in.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: They just started hunkering down a little bit with that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: That was some loud thun or yesterday.
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: So the storms that will have day today will be similar.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to be as widespread. And
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I say that I was up one two o'clock this morning.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I should not have been, but I was up and
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: uh putting the forecast together for today and I was like, hmm, okay,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: similar as yesterday. Then this morning, in the last couple
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: of hours, have been going through more of the forecast
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: models because this is the next number of days. Are
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: you're you're really forecasting day off. I mean, we're looking
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: at we're looking out and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are going
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: to be relative washes as Wednesday probably not as bad
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: as what Thursday, Friday would be, and even Saturday.
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: But what we'll look in.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Is day to day where you have to see where
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the storms collapsed the previous night before uh and obviously
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: into the morning. Because you can find boundaries, these a
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: little ripples in the atmosphere, they're called they're called we
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: call them outfull boundaries Meso scale boundaries, and they're just
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: like a speed bump in the road. So if you're
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: driving down the road and all of sudden you hit
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: this speed bump, because what changes the trajectory of the
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: vehicle bounces up a little bit, that little whift in
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere causes it causes the rise in the air,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: just just because that little speed bump that you can't see,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and just a little bit of that with some heat
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: combined allows you to get some big thunderstorms developing. We
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: have a lot of Obviously its humid as all get
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: out out there. Still yeah, still is.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Temperature has gone down, but as a humidity actually gone down.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Not really okay, no, but you know, thankfully we do
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: not have the stifling heat of last week. If we
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: did have the stifling heat which was on with high pressure,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: we'd be just fine. But you know, we're actually on
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the edge of a ridge of eye pressure, and so
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you have these ridge riding systems that are on the flow,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: so that are on the northwest flow.
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: So we're gonna get all those that are coming out
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: of the west.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But we've got to see just where the boundaries are
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: as we go into the midday, and then we can
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: kind of pick an area out that go, Okay, this
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: is where we're looking at, and some of that's going
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: to be a couple of spots in the ground south
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: east Kentucky, southwest Virginia. Thats where we're going to see
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: some of those fire up, maybe this afternoon, and then
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: there might be one or two around the Ohio River.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: But at this point we're looking at the thunders from
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: chances increasing every single day.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: And by the time we get to the end of
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: the week, which is not good news from I mean,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: we don't want to it's just Tuesday. Things can change.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: But we got Live on the Levee returning.
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: This week, Pottam County Fairs coming in.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know these events that what I know
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: are the ones immediately after we've got to where essentially
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: all the vendors that we had are going through those
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: next events. You know, they're they're going to have to
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: deal with some of this as we go into the weekend,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: and it's not good, not going to be good for them.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: But it is the middle of summer and we've got
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: to get typically get past the second week of July
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: and then that's when we should hit our dry period
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: for about.
• 40:45
  Speaker 13: A month and a half ish.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Generally that middle of July all the way through the
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: month of August we are relatively dry.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: I have been at the Putnam County Fair after it's
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: rained a couple of days out there, you can always
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: count on a couple of cars getting.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Stuck, and that's why they should have a mud derby
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: of some sorts.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: I think they do.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they've got the go on Mores and
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: then yeah, they've been adding to it. I'll tell you what,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: what they've done with the Putmam County Fair has been
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: really good. I wish we could get more, uh more
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: folks on board for that event because it is I
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: mean Putnam County shows up at the Putnam County Fair.
• 41:22

  Speaker 13: A good time. Christ the Snodgrass running the show there.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: The Dirty Birds are back in town starting tonight, and
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: I know this weekend they have their Pepperoni Role Festival
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: going on, and we're hoping I mean again, rain is
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: not necessarily an issue, but thunder and lightning or lightning.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that and that's the that's going to be
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the bigger event. You know what we look at for.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the when lightning happens, typically within a ten
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: mile radius of the event. Okay, some shut it down.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: If it gets within the five mile it is shut down.
• 41:54
  Speaker 16: Move out.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: And I can tell you what we got to folks
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 41:58
  Speaker 13: Hey did want of my Yeah, I wanted to sit
• 42:01
  Speaker 13: right there.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: We'll wait it out.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: And in Loan Bow, what happened. The heavy rain stopped
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: just to the west of us, and uh and we
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: just had light rain showers and that's kind of what
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: we had. You had in Putnam County yesterday, big storm
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and it got to Charleston Sprinkles, so.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: It was it was pretty big. It rained heavily over
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: there at one point, and like a lot of thunder.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: And I think there was, as I said, some high
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: water issues more toward Huntington, Milton, Barbersville and.
• 42:24

  Speaker 5: new rule. They're trying to get an injunction in Capbell
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: County Circuit Court over a new rule called the five
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: for five. Sounds like something at tutors, I know. Here's
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: what it is. Basically, the new rule is you have
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: five years to play five seasons.
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: The West Virginia Record was the first to report this.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: The players say the new rule cuts them off because
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: they graduated high school in twenty twenty two and played
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: four seasons and are now being to night at fifth season.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: Says the rule violates the Western Didion Consumer Credit and
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: Protection Act and the Covenant of Fair Dealing. You know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: for someone who isn't an attorney, I'm certainly sounding like
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: one throughout the show. It's an interesting story. The players
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: are hoping to play in the twenty twenty six twenty
• 44:14

  Speaker 4: You may think speeding a little isn't really speeding, but
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: even a few miles over the limit has consequences. First,
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: there's the fine. Your first offense could cost you one
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars plus court costs, and you'll pay a lot
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: more if it's your second or third offense. Eventually you
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: can lose your license or even go to jail. And
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: those are minor consequences. Speeding causes ten thousand deaths. Each year.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: So next time you think a few miles over isn't
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: a big deal, think again. This message is brought to

  Speaker 5: Welcome back to the show. It is nine to fifty five.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: I just I turn around, I get rid of it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, Brian Hughes exit's the studio and I look
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: and look, Tony the Taylor just popped in. Oh boy,
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: how you doing good? Recovering from the regatta? All right?
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: Hell?
• 47:25
  Speaker 21: Hell was the regatta for you? It was fantastic. My
• 47:27
  Speaker 21: grandkids loved it, had great entertainment. My friend Bet Michaels
• 47:30
  Speaker 21: tore the house down and it was great.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: Now you are a musician or you played play I
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: play one on televihon, you play one on okay, And
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: for all the people, and this is just me being me. Okay,
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: I hang out with you too much, so I don't
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: have much of a filter when it comes to certain things.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: For all the people that said, well, I don't bring
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: in people that people want to see. How many people
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: you think we're there for Brett Michaels the other night,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: because apparently somebody greatly disagreed with the because the house
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: was well, it's not a house.
• 47:58
  Speaker 21: The street was packed, I would say, going by previous
• 48:02
  Speaker 21: regattas from the old days and being there, I would
• 48:05
  Speaker 21: say seventy five thousand.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: Plus at one time.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: At one time. It probably the right, you know, right
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: that seems.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: A little high.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people there were high.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: You said it, not me, But but I will say
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: this every year. It always cracks me up because when
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: the entertainment is announced and I don't know what this is,
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: because the Charleston people still, you know, complain about it.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Why don't they bring in people?
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: Apparently somebody wanted to see Brett Michaels, and Brett Michaels
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: wanted to deceive all the concerts for that. But I
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: think they knocked it out of the park. And I
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: think that everybody that went, I did not read any
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: negative comments Mike. Maybe that they'd like to have for
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: him to played another couple of hours. That would have
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: been about.
• 48:45
  Speaker 21: It been about it. Look, they knocked it out the park.
• 48:49
  Speaker 21: Great entertainment, appropriate entertainment.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Something for everybody, something for everybody, and you know what,
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: it was free, free, and he can't complaining about freestyle
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: and they really embrace the town as we isy in
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: town embraced them. I mean, Bobby Brown was over at
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: your Buddy down Sam's having a good time hang man.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: Melissa Ethridge was over at Folklore Music around around town Adelphia,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: I think, or is it Melissa?
• 49:14
  Speaker 21: There was somebody I've been around town. They all come
• 49:16
  Speaker 21: around town, but sometimes they pop in our store and
• 49:18
  Speaker 21: what's going on. I mean, you know, musicians generally on tour,
• 49:21
  Speaker 21: if they have a day offer, so they like to
• 49:24
  Speaker 21: see where they're at.
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're humans. There's their job.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of downtime, you know, and once the
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: sound checks are done or whatever, and they want to
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: be I mean some in some days they probably want
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: to go back to the room and just you know,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: get a nap or whatever. But sometimes they want to
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: go out and they actually want to meet people because
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: those people download music. I was gonna say buy music,
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: but it's downloading now. And Uh, it's a great show.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: And what what Brett Michaels did for the veterans.
• 49:47
  Speaker 21: Up on stage, it's amazing. And I've known Brett for
• 49:50
  Speaker 21: twenty five years.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: And he's a class acts.
