and Facebook at the Dave Allen Show on X The artist formerly known as Twitter
1:52
and I'm going to be spending some time talking about this mac and cheese cookoff
1:55
coming up a little bit later on. The show is always if there's not
1:57
a Parmar store near you now, there will be soon. So we got
2:00
mac and cheese on the agenda today. We are going to have some politics
2:04
in there. We got Ryan Weld, who is a candidate for Attorney General
2:07
also state senator. He is going to be joining the show. He'll actually
2:10
be in the studio with us, coming up a little bit later on.
2:14
But keeping it on the food tip, I want to bring in a good
2:16
friend, Joe Stevens from the Nitro Convention in Visitors Bureau. Joe, good
2:21
morning. How are you? Good morning, David, how are you?
2:23
I am fine. You know I am not going to spend the entire show,
2:27
I promise talking about food, but I do have two food segments today
2:31
and one of those I'll get to a little bit later. I will throw
2:34
some politics in the middle as well. But again Saturday in Nitro it's the
2:38
Wagon Tails and Nitro Ales beer Fest and Chili Cookoff starts at eleven at the
2:45
Living Memorial Park there in Nitro. Tell us all about it, Joe,
2:49
Well, it's an annual event that we have here in Nitro. It's one
2:53
of the larger chili cookoffs in the area. It's a sanctioned the cookoffs,
2:58
which means the way in the three categories home style, chili, Birdie and
3:04
also the traditional red will be representing the Wagging Tails and nitro Ales, Smoke
3:09
on the Water addition Cookoff at the World Championships in twenty twenty four in Myrtle
3:15
Beach. But it's a fun time and it's an event that we use to
3:21
be able to raise money for not only for some the Wagging Tails scenarios,
3:28
Itty Bitty Kitty, the Charleston Humane Society K nine rescue folks, but also
3:35
Hospice in the area. Will be selling all the tickets for sampling and all
3:40
the proceeds from that will be going to hospice. So it's a fun time
3:45
for everybody to enjoy a day out on a Saturday, and it's also fun
3:49
that we're raising money for some good causes. Absolutely, and it is always
3:53
a big event and everybody looks forward to this whatevery year. And again there's
3:57
all kinds of chili fests in the area and I've been a part of different
4:00
ones and I've judged and things of that nature of interview as well. But
4:02
I will tell you this one is a little bit different, as you said,
4:05
because this is like competition level, as if, as you said,
4:10
you win here and you could go elsewhere exactly. We've had representatives from the
4:15
Cookolf each year representing the City of Nitro's event and Wagon Tails and Nitroales Cookoff
4:23
and that occurs. The cookoff, the National Cookoff occurs around September and Myrtle
4:28
Beach every year and we've had some folks tell cooking there each year. Just
4:32
to kind of categorize the three types of chili that will be judged on Saturday
4:38
by a group of judges. David, you've judged it before. But we've
4:43
got the Homestyle competition, which is basically what you would want to serve at
4:47
a Super Bowl party is then anything goes type of thing, and you have
4:51
to use beans in this competition for the Homestyle category. That is followed up
4:59
by the Green chili or the Verdi chili, and that will be also judged.
5:04
And then the traditional red. The traditional red does not have beans or
5:09
any type of filler. It's basically beef and broth is the way it is
5:14
described in the ICs Handbook, and we will have that. Along that line,
5:21
we will also have a People's Choice Award, and that's where the folks
5:26
at Hospice comes in. They are selling tickets to for a dollar and you
5:30
go around and you taste the chili's and you have to have a ticket to
5:33
taste the chilies. Everybody is. There's some cooks that are doing just people's
5:40
choice, Like the Nitro Fire Department is doing people's choice. Adie Bitty Kitty
5:44
Committee is doing people's choice. Crematorium, tet Prematorium is doing a people's choice,
5:51
the Nitro Police Department is doing a people's choice. And then all the
5:55
cooks also have People's Choice chili. And the way you vote is you get
5:59
it back the bones a bag of dog bones, and you will deposit those
6:03
as many dog bones as you want into the receptacle at the cook's tent,
6:09
and whoever has the largest poundage of dog bones at the end of the day
6:14
will be crowned the People's Choice champion of a cook off. David. Now,
6:17
I am presuming that people just want to come and check it out,
6:20
Joe, because it is going to be in a public place and you're not
6:23
really charging admissions, so to speak, unless people want to sample the chili.
6:28
SOEs that the way to work? Oh yeah, exactly. Everything is
6:30
open. Everything is basically set up on Second Avenue from twenty first Street to
6:36
nineteenth Street, right there in front of Living Memorial Park in the City Hall
6:42
and the Nitro Elementary School. We call it Chili Row and all the vendors
6:46
will be intermixed within the cooks, but we will also have craft beers being
6:54
distributed throughout the day and again and it's a really cool thing. Legislature last
7:00
year passed a new Fairs and Festivals beer license that for nonprofits can do this
7:11
in a very orderly and legal fashion. And eighty percent of the proceeds from
7:15
the beer sales on Saturday will be going to the various charities. So we'll
7:20
have that, We'll have some food on hands, some food trucks will be
7:24
coming in here, a lot of the merchants on twenty first Street will be
7:28
opened, and a lot of vendors will be happening. So yes, it's
7:31
a free you don't have to pay to play, as it may be.
7:35
But remember when you do step up and buy some chili and buy some craft
7:42
beers to go along with it, you are giving back to the community and
7:46
to the worthwhile causes that we're raising money for a couple other things, David.
7:51
We will have Decca the Nitrol High School. Decca Club will be having
7:56
a booth where they're selling pretzel Necklaces started it a couple of years ago and
8:01
a lot of people enjoy that. And the Nitro Show Choir will be having
8:09
coffee and hot chocolate as it will be a bit chili. It's a fall
8:13
day and chili and coffee and some beers. It will be a fun time.
8:18
Well, it always is. And here's the thing. Going back to
8:20
chili for a moment, Jenny, and we're talking with Joe Stevens from the
8:22
Nitro Convention and Visitors Bureau. The thing about chili that I know is,
8:26
and I know chili is it's almost like pizza or hot dogs. People will
8:31
get in these food arguments over well, real chili doesn't have this, or
8:35
real pizza or real hot dogs don't have this, or whatever. The way
8:39
I look at it is there's no such thing as bad chili. There's just
8:43
different types. And I agree with that with pizza and hot dogs and what
8:46
not. To are you are you with me on that, Joe straight David,
8:52
it's it's it's everybody's got a pal it. Everybody likes it a different
8:56
way. The cooks, actually most the majority of the cooks have cooked at
9:01
the World Championships and in different locations they'll they'll gear their recipes to what has
9:09
been done in the past. Say, if you go up in Ohio,
9:11
maybe the Cincinnati Columbus area sweet chili will win more more often than not.
9:18
Here, it's gotta have some backbite to it, some back seat, as
9:22
it may be. It's it doesn't need to be nuclear. But you'll see
9:28
some various chilis that will be judged. And again we've we've got the judging
9:33
is very a very serious thing. It really is. There's a judges meeting
9:39
at in the morning and we go over the rules and what to be expected
9:43
and that sort of thing, and and each one does steps up and has
9:48
a has a really particular taste. And that's what I mean. Somebody asked
9:52
me one time, what to it take to be a judge? You gotta
9:54
palette, Yeah, there you go. That's that's that's pretty much all you
9:58
gotta do. And you got to drink water with the two because if you
10:00
start mixing. And one of the first chili cookoffs that I judge, people
10:05
said, why need the crackers, And no, no, no, that's
10:07
not the way it works. You don't add everybody drinks the same thing,
10:09
or about his water and that kind of thing. I want to talk about
10:13
beer for a moment because this craft beer thing has really exploded nationwide and West
10:18
Virginia is a big part of that as well. Uh and uh and and
10:20
it it just kind of goes along with the whole ambiance of the day there,
10:24
Joe having the having the craft beers there. Well, we got the
10:28
big red tat truck from Saint Aubans will be uh on hand and uh you'll
10:35
be able to walk up and uh and make a donation as it may be.
10:39
But we've got big timbers from West Virginia will be one of the beers
10:43
and uh and for the domestic lovers, we won't have domestic also, but
10:48
we'll have some ciders, we'll have some I p as, we'll have some
10:52
surs, uh, a variety of as. People have palates for for the
10:56
chili that they'll be tasting. They also have the palettes or the craft beers
11:01
that will be tasting, so we'll have that and it's just going it's just
11:05
a fun time. It's a fellowship kind of thing. And by the way,
11:09
the four legged friends, your four legged friends are welcome to attend and
11:15
have some fun also. Absolutely and again that's go over the charitable aspect of
11:18
it again, just so everybody make sure the data where the proceeds go.
11:22
Well, the first off, we an annual thing, and where the wagging
11:26
tails comes from is that we have Eddie Bitty Kitty Canine Rescue in the Charleston
11:33
Humane Society will be here and we will be raising money for them. And
11:37
then from the and that's from all the various things that we'll be doing,
11:41
but also the beards, I mean the chili tasting side of things. Hospice
11:46
gets all the proceeds, all of the proceeds one percent of all the tickets
11:52
for sampling that will be sold. So when you step up and you come
11:56
out and you're having a good time, you have some feel good about it
12:00
also and you can get ready for a big Wbu win later that evening and
12:03
also a Marshall win as well. Let's go and through that. Yeah,
12:07
of course these are two teams. Well there's several teams, but but I
12:11
mean Marshall's got apple Atch and say and that's an old rival of ours,
12:13
so you know, take it on the mountings of the other mountains of apple
12:18
Atch and say Joe, where can people learn more about it. I've got
12:20
some things posted on my social media, but where can people learn more about
12:22
it from? You? Wagging Tails and nitro ales on the Facebook? You
12:28
can go there and and David, I just want to you know, we
12:31
talk about WBU and Marshall and they won't be playing and everything, but the
12:35
University of Charleston cross country team, the boys, the men and women's cross
12:41
country teams will be racing in the regionals. The men's cross country team won
12:46
for the sixth straight year of the Mountain East Conference and the women won for
12:50
the fourth straight year. Now they're representing West Virginia in the regionals this weekend.
12:54
So those Harriers, we wish them well. Also, all right,
12:58
Joe, well I'll see you Saturday, my friend. Looking forward to it
13:01
quickly thirty seconds when you think about the World Series, because I know you're
13:05
a big baseball guy. You know, Texas beat my o's and they beat
13:09
up on us pretty well, and everybody was worried about that one picture.
13:13
Heiny, I guess it is and he's the one. Yeah, it was
13:16
a It's baseball, man, It's World Series. Enjoy it and understand that
13:22

17:07

17:17
No, it's itty bitty kitty committee. All right, kitty with it?
17:22
Okay? Nine twenty four. Ryan Weld is with us right now. You
17:26
gotta follow that up. It got nothing, I got nothing, got nothing.
17:33
State Senator and Canada Attorney General Ryan Weld House campaign going man, good
17:37
busy. You know, I get a full schedule down here in Charleston Today.
17:41
I got a couple of meetings. Heading to Greenboro County later today.
17:45
Tomorrow, we're going to be in Parkersburg. Uh Saturday, We've got a
17:49
parade, gonna be at the the game in Morgantown Military Appreciation Games. I'm
17:53
gonna head down there. A lot of traveling, a lot of traveling.
17:59
You know. One of the things that I that I've learned in my time
18:03
around politics and is that you don't you know what West Virginia is a and
18:07
you traveled all over the world with your military background. But West Virginia is
18:11
a small state, but it's also seems so large because it's so different.
18:15
You know, when Berkeley County could not be any more different than McDowell County
18:19
and Mond County could not be any more different than Mason County. It's just
18:22
it is a by that sense of the definition, Ryan, it is a
18:26
diverse state. It's very different. There are also not a whole lot of
18:30
state straight roads here in West Virginia. So every time my wife says,
18:33
well, okay, we're going there, how long does it take two and
18:36
a half an see to get there? Two and a half hours an see
18:40
to get there, two and a half hours from the northern Panando. Everything
18:42
is a minimum of two and a half hours, it is. Indeed,
18:45
how are the how has it been so far? And your your numbers are
18:49
looking good as far as your the money race, that's always important. Things
18:53
are going well. You know, I think people appreciate a good ground game,
18:57
and you know, we make it a point that if there's a parade,
19:00
a fair, festival, we're going to be there and talk with people.
19:03
And you know, because we're from my wife and I'm from one part
19:07
of the state at the Northern Pananal and so, as you just said,
19:11
we're a bunch of different states wrapped into one and so states, cultures and
19:14
whatnot. I love getting out and hearing from other people and other parts of
19:18
the state. What are their concerns, but also what are their hopes for
19:22
their future of their neck of the woods, because it's going to be different
19:26
from the Northern Panana. It's going to be different from the Eastern Panano,
19:27
I mean Eastern Panel. Right now, they're almost a mass capacity in some
19:33
of those areas, where in the Northern Panel we got a lot of rooms
19:36
spare, and so their concerns out there are different from ours in the Northern
19:40
Paninal saying from the southern part of the state. And so I just love
19:42
getting out and talking with folks. It's a three person race on the Republican
19:48
side between yourself, another state Senator Mike Stewart, and current state Auditor JB.
19:52
Mccusky. What makes Ryan Weld the best fit for the job? My
19:55
experience and it goes you know, you mentioned that I was in the military,
20:00
and so I was in the Air Force Reservists, but spent you know,
20:03
I think suck just about six years straight on active duty. You know,
20:07
the leadership that I learned there that I'm bringing to the position that I
20:11
brought to my time in the legislature, but my record in the legislature as
20:15
well of getting things done, of accomplishing things that I told the people in
20:18
my district I was going to go to Charleston and work on. There is
20:23
one particular reason, large reason of why I'm running for Attorney General. You
20:29
know, Attorney General Patrick Morrison went out and got a massive settlement against the
20:32
opioid manufacturers that have done an uncalculable amount of damage to our state. And
20:40
most of that money, about eight hundred fifty million of it, went to
20:41
the West Virginia First Foundation, and that foundation is charged with spending that money
20:47
in order to repair the damage that's been done to us and prevent it from
20:49
ever happening again in the future. And that money has to be spent on
20:52
prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, education, law enforcement purposes. The Attorney General
21:00
is going to have the authority to conduct audits of that foundation, but also
21:03
to conduct performance reviews of that foundation. No other candidate in this race has
21:11
any experience working in those fields. Like I do. You know, I
21:14
got to the legislature and I knew it was going to work on on veterans
21:17
issues. I'm a veteran. Chair of the Military committee. Made sense for
21:19
me. But as I got into that, really started to dig into substance
21:23
abuse and mental health because you realize just how much that is tied to veterans
21:27
issues. And it led me down that path working in those areas. And
21:32
so this foundation and the money that eight hundred and fifty million dollars, I
21:34
think represents this state's best and last opportunity to fix what's been done to us
21:41
and stop it from ever happening again. And by having the experience that I
21:45
have, can help ensure that we make the most of that opportunity. Talking
21:49
again with state Senator and candidate for Attorney General Ryan Weld, I had one
21:53
of the other of the other opponents of yours on the show the other day,
21:59
State Senator Mike Stewart. He was on the show Monday. He called
22:02
it a two man race now between himself and JB. Mccusky, who's currently
22:06
serving as a state otnor. He stayed auditor. Uh, he completely left
22:10
Ryan Weld out of the equation. Well, I would agree with him.
22:12
I think it is a two man race. But the bad news for him
22:15
is that he's not one of those people. You know. Fundraising last quarter
22:22
was very fortunate, outraised my opponent, one of my opponents by five to
22:27
one margin, the one you were just talking about this past quarter by a
22:32
little over a two to one margin. And so moving forward, who has
22:36
the ability to get their message out, who has the ability to connect with
22:41
the voters on a much broader scale than you know, the all the fairs
22:45
and festivals and parades that we all go to. And that's two people that
22:48
are in this race. And so I mean, I think that's part of
22:52
the equation. And then the other part is what we're talking about here,
22:57
a record of getting things done, being able to lead the office, doing
23:02
work in these fields that we would have to tackle and take on as attorney
23:06
general, the experience in the courtroom, being a litigator, because you can
23:10
take the position and say, well, I'm a lawyer too. I don't
23:12
have to be a litigator or have coreum experience because we have staffords. We
23:15
have staff attorneys to handle that. Well. The state doesn't hire or the
23:21
state doesn't elect bureaucrats. The state elects you, the buck stops somewhere,
23:26
and it stops with the person that they elected to make those decisions, not
23:30
just farming out to bureaucrats and say it'll get done that way. If if
23:34
you are lucky enough to be elected senator, what do you hope to do
23:40
in the office? So two things, I think, first and foremost,
23:44
being able to defend the rights and interests of one point eight million West Virginians
23:49
and the industries that employ them is first and foremost a priority for that position.
23:56
But second, as I was saying, really being able to ensure that
24:00
we don't waste the opportunity that we have with the West Virginia First Foundation and
24:06
ensuring that this state gets serious about tackling art substance abuse issues, mental health
24:11
issues. I think that is the other priority for the position. How do
24:15
we do that? How do we tackle these things? So I don't expect
24:19
to have all the answers, but what kind of a game plan we have?
24:23
So first and foremost on the first side of that, you have to
24:26
be smart about what cases you get the state involved in and how you go
24:30
about that. What's the priority for the state you got to be able to
24:34
go through that sort of decision making because the future, I think of West
24:40
Virginia and a lot of states that are like us, are going to be
24:42
decided in the courtroom, in the feral courtroom. On the other side of
24:47
that, on the substance abuse issue, you got to make sure that you
24:53
again maximize that opportunity because you look around the state and the issues that we
24:59
have, the foster care issues. How are we ensuring that children now who
25:03
are in school know the dangers of drug addiction so they don't fall into that
25:07
same path that unfortunately many of their parents have. How do we ensure that
25:11
we have proper rehabilitation and treatment resources here in the state. And that again
25:17
all goes back to that opioid settlement and spending those dollars. Wisely, I
25:22
think that talking and getting that message out to young people. Obviously over the
25:27
years, Ryan, we haven't done something right because I'm older than you,
25:32
and I came from the just Say No generation, and we had the DARE
25:34
programs and everything in the school in the eighties when I was in high school,
25:37
in junior high and high school, and obviously that didn't work. So
25:42
we might want to look at another plan. Well, I think that so
25:48
part of that I think falls into that a lot of people who have addiction
25:52
issues now kind of fell into that area when doctors were being told by manufacturers
26:00
they weren't necessarily going out just to have fun and get high. There you're
26:03
that that's a very good point in their part. And it became obviously that
26:07
the disaster that it turned into for this state because for years we were no,
26:11
it's not addictive, it's not addictive, don't worry about it. Keep
26:15
prescribing it for everyone, right, But it was Yeah, and sadly we're
26:18
learning it. Then then you take that away and people are going to turn
26:22
to something else, because they're not just going to magically say is that.
26:23
You know, the pill crisis was primarily of the you know, the two
26:27
thousands and mid two thousands or whatever, and they're not just magically going to
26:32
say, Okay, well the pills are gone, I'm gonna rink cool right
26:33
now. That's not the way it works. They're going to go find something
26:37
else. I want to ask you about this and bear with me on this.
26:41
You have been linked for your support, sponsorship, whatever you want to
26:45
call it, with the transfer bill. Uh, in high school sports.
26:49
It's been controversial. There have been people on this show and other media outlets
26:53
that have spoken out. Again said, there have been many that have spoken
26:56
and said that they're for it, that they like it. If you want
27:02
to say something on the record about that, yeah, sure. So the
27:03
other day, the SSAC put out a number of three hundred and forty two
27:07
athletic transfers. Whatever an athletic transfer is, I have no idea because that's
27:11
not a term that anybody has ever like, do they have proof that all
27:14
those were for athletic reasons. It's just a phrase that they all of a
27:17
sudden used. That's three hundred and forty two. They said, Man,
27:21
we only had one hundred and forty hardship transfers in the year and a half
27:23
prior to that. To look at that jump, well, it's Apple's to
27:26
bowling balls. That three hundred and forty two to one hundred and forty.
27:30
That three hundred and forty two number also includes bonafide moves. So if you
27:36
lived in Brook County and your parents took a job in Canalla County and you
27:40
moved, so all of that's included in that three forty two and Also,
27:45
ninth grade transfers were included in that three hundred and forty two, so they're
27:49
including a number of categories into that number. That one hundred and forty doesn't
27:56
include bonafide transfers and ninth grade transfers, so they're not giving a full picture.
28:04
They're they're they're inflating a number on one side, but not telling the
28:07
full picture on another side. I mean, we can all just cherry pick
28:12
numbers to continue on with the narrative that we want to promote. But that's
28:18
the disappointing thing is that they're not being fully forthright with the numbers that they're
28:25
putting out there. I mean, how can one them make an informed decision
28:30
when we don't have all the facts? And that's one of the things I
28:33
think that some people have said, is just you know, give it time
28:37
because we're basing this on. And I don't know how I feel about it.
28:41
I'm kind of middle of the road on the whole thing. But but
28:45
but I've had I've heard people say, well, we're basing this on seven
28:48
eight weeks into a football season from some schools in the area in the Kanaal
28:52
Valley, And I won't call them out. But you know, the ones
28:53
I'm talking about that have been down for several years, you know, and
28:56
so maybe we need to give it time. I've been told by the legislature,
29:00
and you know, you're still a member of the legislature and you'll be
29:03
in session come January, that it's probably not going to go anywhere. I
29:07
mean, as far as the people that say that they want it, you
29:10
know, retooled or done away with that, it's probably not going to go
29:12
anywhere. I wouldn't expect the legislature to be all that excited about taking choice
29:18
away from parents and deciding where their children go to school and removing the government
29:25
interference out of that decision. You know, it's a very small area of
29:33
the state where this is an issue. It's not an issue in my neck
29:37
of the woods. Talking with coaches all across the state. You know,
29:41
my stepfather was a high school football coach for over forty years, and so
29:45
he knows coaches around the state that I've been able to talk to, and
29:48
it's just it's not an issue, and we just don't have any facts.
29:52
I mean, people say, well, this team they lost by a lot,
29:56
Well, did the other team have a lot of transfers. I don't
30:00
know, but I'm just guessing they did well. Well if they did,
30:03
Like, we're all this touchdowns scored by those transfers, probably well. I
30:08
mean, yeah, we're just lacking facts and all this. And also,
30:14
you know, I've been involved in athletics for pretty much my entire life.
30:18
I think you have. You might have a personnel issue in terms of if
30:22
you're putting eighty points on the board or seventy points on the board, are
30:26
you I mean, is that a conscious decision by the coach to do that?
30:33
Yeah, I mean it all boils down to, you know, one
30:37
of the particular schools. Again, I won't call them out in the area.
30:38
I mean, they had their freshmen and they're playing against the seniors on
30:42
the other team, and you can't I mean from a competitive standpoint, right,
30:47
I don't think you can tell you you can't tell a ninth grader don't
30:48
score against that senior, you know, I mean, I just I don't
30:52
think that's realistic. I mean, I guess you can, but I don't
30:53
know how far that's going to go. And you're trying to train those for
30:56
other But I again, I understand both sides. Before I let you go.
31:00
Somebody had a text about anything you wanted to say about about the Second
31:03
Amendment. There have been some people that have that have I'll just threw my
31:08
pen across the room. There have been some people of violence. There have
31:11
been some people that have that have raised questions about your support at the Second
31:18
Amendment. I didn't really understand that. Do you want to go into record?
31:19
I think where are they pointing to that? I mean, I've always
31:22
been a staunch advocate of that concealed carry or something like that. I've supported
31:27
every piece of legislation on concealed carry, on constitutional carry. You know,
31:32
I didn't support the campus carry bill a couple of years ago because it was
31:36
tailor made for the two large universities in the state. I represent two very
31:40
small schools. It would have been very detrimental to them. Made a couple
31:44
of changes to that legislation of better help the smaller schools. Voted out a
31:48
committee vote for it on the floor, not an issue. And so I'm
31:53
pretty you know, as someone who has their life depended on carrying a firearm
31:59
every day, I'm a pretty staunch advocate at the Second Amendment. Are you
32:02
looking forward? And I don't know if there's any schedule maybe, you know,
32:05
And I don't to any any sort of on stage debates or forums or
32:10
anything like that with the other two candidates, or I haven't heard anything anything
32:14
like that, you know, I haven't heard of it, of anybody trying
32:16
to put something together. Obviously, I'd be open to that, to be
32:21
able to set my record, you know, and contrast it to the record
32:27
of my opponents and my leadership in contrast to my opponents, and so I
32:31
would welcome the opportunity. But nothing has been discovered stil early. I mean
32:35
it probably will happen. I mean it has in the past. I'd say
32:37
probably will sometime in the new year. Give me thirty seconds on why people
32:40
have should vote for Ryan welb Well thirty seconds because again of my record in
32:45
the legislature, of my record of being a leader. You know, when
32:47
I have said that I'm going to get something done, I have gotten it
32:51
done. I have been a leader from my district. I've been a leader
32:53
in the state Senate for the past eight years, and I've went I've done
32:59
work and got and worked on on the issues. Didn't matter to West Virginia's
33:01
whether it be substance abuse, whether it be in the criminal law. I've
33:07
taken up a lot of these topics, veterans issues, and I've moved the
33:09
flag and made important steps to improve West Virginia. Where can people learn more

politics need to just stay out of sports in our schools. My community is
36:42
suffering because of the worst bill. Ever. According to a Texture Texas,
36:50
do the Republican candidates have the same writer because they all give the same answers
36:53
to the questions. Texays Ryan, Well, the same team shouldn't score as
36:58
many points as they can. What is he some kind of liberal? I
37:00
don't think that Ran would be considered to be a liberal. Tex says what
37:05
job at the Air Force Reserves requires someone to carry a firearm as their job
37:08
to protect their life? Did well get a go in on attack missions as
37:13
an Air Force reservist? Don't I know he's served in the military. Next
37:16
time Ryan is on, will fully explain his role in the military. And
37:21
he's listening right now. I'm sure he'll protect me or something, but I
37:23
will promise we'll get fully into that the next time that he's on the show.
37:30
Texas, where was Patrick Morrissey in all this Department of Corrections to backle
37:35
he charged with protecting the legal interest of our state? Looks like he in
37:38
this office really dropped the ball on this one, according to a text.
37:43
Now, I promised that this was going to be a food show, or
37:46
at least two segments of it. Meghan cut up, the executive director for
37:50
the Childhood Language Centers here to talk about Mac and Cheese. The Mac and
37:52
Cheese cook Off Saturday eleven at Capital Markets benefit for the Childhood Language Center.
37:58
Megan, good morning. What have I gotten myself into? They tell me
38:01
I'm going to be a judge for this thing. Joe Stevens has got me
38:04
to try to be a judge for Chili in the afternoon and Nitro. So
38:07
I'm going to start my day Capitol Market with Mac and cheese. Could be
38:09
fun in my house comes Saturday night and I'll leave it at that. Oh
38:13
yes, sorry, sorry, Ruthan, So to talk about this big event
38:19
house, the whole thing work over there? All right? Well, this
38:21
is our ninth annual Mac and Cheese Cookoff. It was sort of the brain
38:24
child of Matt Sutton, who was on our board at the time. Wait
38:27
a minute, Matt Sutton and brainchild not buying it? Go ahead? Well
38:32
yeah, he thought, what can we do in West Virginia that isn't really
38:36
done? So nine years ago they came up with this idea and it has
38:40
just exploded. We have thirty two teams participating or competing. I guess you
38:45
could say, so you're going to have your hands full, or should I
38:46
say you're belly full by the end of this most amount of teams we've ever
38:52
had compete. How many teams do we have thirty two thirty two okay,
38:54
yeah, and then all the proceeds go to the Childhood Language Center, So
39:00
we do free speech therapy for kids in all of West Virginia. Really,
39:04
we see about one hundred and forty kids a week. So our goal for
39:07
this event is to raise enough money to provide sixteen children with free speech therapy
39:13
for a year. So I've been asked to be a judge. I know
39:16
my buddy Stephen Keith there of the Food Gap and ex that mail is going
39:20
to be judging Tony the Taylor. So obviously you don't have any standards,
39:24
and you're judging Steve Bishop from our sister station of E one hundred, and
39:28
he takes it very seriously. Steve Bishop takes everything seriously. And Mackenzie Spencer
39:32
a festival. I posted something about it, so I actually talked to McKenzie
39:37
last night. So check this out and get my buddy Steve at East Coast
39:40
T's. Mackenzie and I talked about this. We are going to have t
39:44
shirts for me and her that say mac and cheese. Oh that's cute,
39:49
that's cute, may be and the cheese Yes, see what I guess very
39:52
cute. Oh I should have thought of that, to sell shirts like that,
39:54
I'd be cute with our pictures on them. Yeah, with proceeds benefiting
39:58
me. Now we'll give it all back. We'll work on that for next
40:02
year. So at the public shows up at Capital Market, how does it
40:06
work for them? Sure? So you can buy your tickets now online.
40:09
We have a Facebook event page. You can look that up. I think
40:12
it's the CLC's Mac and Cheese cookoff and there's a link on there through event
40:16
bright where you can buy your tickets. We've sold already about one hundred.
40:21
I will be honest. The door's open at eleven. Get there early if
40:23
you have not purchased your tickets, because they start lining up at ten thirty.
40:28
We expect about two thousand people there. That's about the norm for the
40:31
last four or five years. So you can buy them at the door.
40:36
You can buy you can pre buy them. It's the same price. Ten
40:38
dollars for adults, all you can eat, five dollars for kids, all
40:42
you can eat. We will have waters available. That's the first year we're
40:45
able to provide water. Usually people are asking us, oh my gosh,
40:49
we're so thirsty. So if we have water and Dutch Miller super is actually
40:52
providing that, and then we will have the beer available for purchase. And
40:55
it's supposed to be a beautiful day, so mac and cheese and beer and
40:59
just live music. It will be a lot of fun. Yeah, it
41:01
sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun. Again, Megan Cutlop is
41:04
here in all the proceeds will benefit the childhood language. And how many kids
41:08
do you serve for practical We see one hundred and forty only. And so
41:12
when you say you see these kids, what exactly do you do for them?
41:15
So we provide speech therapy. You know, we see kids with autism
41:19
or apraxia or just a speech delay, all different, all different issues are
41:24
going on. But we see them from there's some that come from Pocahontas County,
41:29
from Boone County, from Logan Greenbrier. I mean they come from all
41:32
over West Virginia. We also see them virtually, So if it's a long
41:37
it's a long track to our office, we do see you virtually. So
41:39
we've able to accommodate that was from COVID. Actually we were able to accommodate
41:45
a lot more kids that way and it's once a week for thirty minutes and
41:50
it's totally free and one of the great things I like about looking at the
41:53
line. And by the way, I've got some information available on my social
41:57
media. It's Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and also it's a Dave Allen on
42:00
ax the artists forally known as Twitter. But you've got several different types of
42:05
businesses that are entering this competition. I mean, it's not just restaurants.
42:08
There are your restaurants there, but there are also a lot of organizations that
42:14
are entering their mac and cheese. I had no idea there were that many
42:15
different types of mac and cheese. I guess I'm about to find out.
42:19
You are about to find out. We have, Like I said, we
42:22
have thirty two this year. Usually our max is about twenty, but we
42:24
run out of mac and cheese so early that we said, hey, we
42:27
have to really amp this up. So my committee, which are community community
42:32
members in our area, they really stepped it up. So we have the
42:35
pitch this year. We have a church, New Horizons Church, a nonprofit
42:40
Hope for All Capital Insurance group. He comes out every year with his famous

Forward details go back to the Ryan Weldon of you. Somebody said, is
46:59
he really good to say a former US district attorney isn't in the race?
47:02
Well, I think he was basing This was Ryan Weld referring to Mike Stewart.
47:06
I think he was basing it on the money raised. And if you
47:08
look at the money that's been raised so far. If I'm correct, and
47:10
I don't have the figures in front of me, Stewart was in third and
47:15
Weld and McCuskey had raised more money. But remember Mike Stewart on the show
47:19
on Monday said that Ryan Weld wasn't in the race. So the only thing
47:21
they can both agree on is that JB. McCuskey is in the race.
47:23
That's not an endorsement of JB. McCuskey by these trates of the imagination.
47:27
I'm just saying that one is saying that one of the other ones. What
47:30
two are saying that one isn't end Does that make any sense at all?
47:34
Got a phone call us? Go to the phone. Hi, you're on
47:37
the show. Good morning, Good morning, good morning. What can we
47:39
do for you? Yes, I'd like to remind everybody that there is a
47:44
water rate hearing the PSC at five point thirty this season, and i'd like
47:47
to get everybody to show up. Okay, Now, where is this located.
47:52
It's on Broad Street. It's the PSC building. Okay, and I'm
47:55
not aware of this to tell me, so tell me about the okay.
48:00
Well, it's basically, the PSC is taking public comments on the water rate
48:07
increase from West Virginia American Water and as most people know, West Virginia already
48:12
has the house of water rates in the nation, and apparently that isn't enough
48:15
for the water company and they're want more. So I think everybody's going to
48:20
have to get involved, and we're just going to have to go down and
48:23
let them know how we feel about it. I really don't know that the
48:28
PSC is going to listen, because I don't think they've listened in the past.
48:31
But until everybody gets together, I don't think they will. But I
48:35
think if everybody gets behind it, I think we maybe have a chance to
48:38
stop it. Okay, And again the meeting is where and when at five
48:43
point thirty this evening at the PSC building on Brock Street. And this is
48:45
like a public comment, like you said, like a public hearing, sir,
48:49
right, right, correct, Okay, all right, well, I
48:52
appreciate you letting everybody know about it, and thanks for calling the show.
48:54
I appreciate it, all right, thanks a lot, did so. Four
48:57

49:25
you. Lead story wv metronews dot com this morning by Brad. The Administration
49:30
of Governor Justice has fired two people in connection with the mishandling of potential evidence
49:36
in the class action lawsuit due to poor conditions at the Southern Regional Jail.
49:40
Brad Douglas, who was the former Interim Corrections Commissioner and and also a recent
49:45
executive in the jail system, along with the gentleman by the name of Phil
49:49
Sword, who was the chief counsel for Homeland Security, has been terminated.
49:53
That according to the Governor Chief of Staff, Brian Abraham. Now it's a
49:57
lengthy story, and it's getting lengthier by the day. Just go check out
50:01
brad'storywv metronews dot com. Unrelated but somewhat related. Two former corrections officers there
50:08
at the Southern Regional Jail are doing court today for alleged abuse of some of
50:15
the residents clientele, if you will, in jail, and we will be
50:19
following that story closely. In the meantime, lots of people still trying to
50:25
clean up, believe it or not, after the floods of August. The
50:29
governor has submitted a request to the Biden administration and FEMA for individual assistance for
50:37
the flooding that devastated areas of Kanawa County, but not just Kanawa also Clay
50:44
County was hit hard, certain areas Boone County, Calhoun, and Harrison County,
50:47
So it's kind of a wide swath of an area here, Jeff,
50:51
as the story posted about a WV Metro news dot com, they are reviewing
50:54
that the Biden administration is from one I understand, but now the governor has
50:58
gotten involved submitting a request to the administration and FEMA for individual assistance for those
51:04
that were affected by the flooding. A couple of quick programming notes. Hoppy
51:09
is actually going live on location today at the Municipal League, and I got
51:15
a chance to see the Rundown of all the mayors that he's got under.
51:16
It's like think Mayor Monday that I do on steroids, because he's going to
51:21
talk to a lot of different mayors from around the state of West Virginia to
51:23
kind of get you know, it's kind of what I do on Monday,
51:27
but it's much larger scale because what they're going to do is that Hoppy's going
51:30
to learn. He's going to talk to these mayors about what they're doing right,
51:31
what they're doing wrong, what they could do better. How As I
51:36
said, the thing about West Virginia is and somebody ridiculed me when I said
51:38
this on the air one time, but I said to West Virginia was a
51:42
diverse state. What I mean by that is is that again, as I
51:45
was talking to Ryan Weld about that earlier, areas of Wood County are nothing
51:50
like areas of Monroe County, areas of Mingo County, nothing like areas of
51:53
Ohio County. And so it's interesting when you get all of these folks together
52:00
to talk about these things and they learn about what's as I said, what's
52:02
right, what's wrong? What can we do different? Went on to the
52:05
different cities. That's what Hobby is going to be doing now. I'm looking
52:07
forward to listening to that. It's coming up at ten o six this morning.
52:10
Again. I will not be here tomorrow. I've got some business commitment.
52:15
Dale Cooper will be in as the guest host on the show tomorrow and
52:19
his special guest host. The guest host of the guest host is going to
52:22
be the always entertaining Love This guy, Cheff Paul Smith will be the judge
52:27
on the Judge will be the I'm thinking about judge and Chili and MC and

52:35
will be stopping by also. Hannah Gardener will be here tomorrow as well.
