1:36
Mostly got a lot of news headlines and different things I want to get to
1:40
on the show. A little programming note I have. Yesterday I gave my
1:44
unsolicited advice to Huntington mayor Steve Williams, who's also running for governor, on
1:51
what he could do to better his chances of being elected governor. Well,
1:55
the Steve Williams folks were listening, and Steve Williams is on the show tomorrow,
1:57
so he's gonna tell me, I listened to your advice, Dave,
2:01
and I'm going to do the exact opposite but he's going to be on the
2:04
show tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to have it. Mayor Williams now candidate
2:07
for governor, Steve Williams will be on the show tomorrow. Always wanted I
2:13
had this guy in studio, Rich the realtor, our buddy, Rich the
2:15
realtor client from Meek's Realty. Good morning, sir, How are you,
2:17
hey, Dave? Good morning? How are you? Thank you for being
2:20
here? Yeah? Sure, hey, it's your favorite holiday today, right,
2:23
all those kids coming and banging on your door. I love it.
2:25
I love when the kids come to the house. I really always always sourcing
2:30
out the neighborhood for their parents to see if they want to buy anything there.
2:32
Yeah, okay, let me ask you this stuff. All right,
2:35
So somebody shows to shows up at Rich the Realtor's house to after trick or
2:38
treating? What are they going to get? All chocolate? All? Chal?
2:42
I got the good stuff? Yeah, I mean it's the good stuff.
2:45
So interesting, you know, Dichotomy and you and I were talking about
2:50
this earlier. When my wife and I first moved to Tayes Valley back in
2:53
twenty fourteen. I guess our first Halloween, Yeah, would have been would
2:55
have been twenty fourteen there. We were totally blown away rich with how much
3:00
different UH trick or treating was in Tay's Valley as compared to other areas.
3:06
A true story. Their first year there, there were kids all over the
3:08
neighborhood, but did not have a single trick or treater at her house.
3:13
They walked right by, which you know, if I saw me on the
3:16
front porch in my underwear with a middle of light, yeah I'd probably I'd
3:21
probably walk home by too. But first year there, the kids in neighborhood
3:24
everywhere, not a single trick or treater. We had all this candy and
3:29
they just walked on by. Couldn't figure out why until somebody told me about
3:34
Tay's Valley style trick or treating. Uh. At least in the neighborhood where
3:38
we were, kids will not come up to your door as they did in
3:43
other areas where I had lived. You got to sit outside, you gotta
3:46
set outside. You got to set tonight. It's going to be a challenge,
3:49
you know, to set out there tonight. My wife just suggested that
3:52
I set in the garage with the car running. Uh. She thought that
3:55
would be a really good keep the door closed. That way, I can
3:59
hear if the kids not on the on the doors there. But apparently what
4:01
I learned it's in Day's Valley. If you want to have trick or treaders,
4:05
you want to come by your house, you had to actually go,
4:10
you know, either sit on your front porch and walk out to them,
4:14
or you have to if it's warm enough, which is not going to be
4:15
tonight, you had to just sit out there and wait. It was so
4:17
much different from Logan rich because in Logan, where I had we moved from.
4:23
I mean, not only did kids come up on your porch, they
4:26
would take your copper pipes and your catalytic converter as well. So just it
4:30
was a totally different thing. That's that's changed over the years. I mean
4:32
I grew up there. I grew up in Scott Deephone and we banged on
4:34
the doors when we were kids. You did it in July, didn't you.
4:38
We did. Yeah. So just however along until it wore up our
4:41
costumes. But yeah, let's and of course, you know, people of
4:45
our generation, we remember those the plastic mass costumes. You remember that you
4:48
couldn't breathe and you do all that for a pack of raisins. You know,
4:51
you basically cut off their supply, you know, to to your extremities
4:56
and whatever and to your to your brain for a pack of rais an answer.
5:00
So I'm looking back out. I don't know whether it was whether.
5:01
All right, let's talk from real estate, and it's always Rich is always
5:04
open to take your calls or texting if you questions about real estate. Rich
5:08
is your guy. Rich. I read this article the other day and I
5:11
thought this can't be right. So I figured I would ask the expert.
5:14
Oh boy, so as soon as one gets here, Yeah, I'll let
5:16
you know. No, I figured I would ask this question of you.
5:19
The sale of multi family housing units outpacing single family homes? Is that right?
5:28
Not necessarily the sale of them, but the building of the building of
5:31
them. The building. Yeah, I told you to get it wrong.
5:33
Yeah. So that's the National Association Realtor's article that came out too. So
5:36
that just that for the first time, I don't know if it's ever or
5:40
if it's the first time in recent years, but they are building more multi
5:42
family homes, meeting duplexes and quads and townhouses, those kinds of things.
5:47
The builders are I mean that's where their money is. Why versus why I
5:50
said, I just think that's where the cost effectiveness is. So the cost
5:54
of building is so high so that you can build a duplex for about the
5:57
same price you can build a single family home, you sell it to two
6:00
different people. So it's just or it just I think it's about living space
6:06
for versus what they can afford to build, you know, just do well.
6:10
I grew up in a duplex. I mean my second house we lived
6:13
in growing up my teenage years was in a duplex. Uh. And I
6:16
will just say this, I really feel sorry for the lady next door.
6:19
We had an elderly and an older lady that lived beside of us. She
6:24
was a widow and oh I mean I say old. I mean she was
6:26
a intersevenor and she had you know a bunch of yahoo teenage kids, you
6:30
know, hanging out the house next door. I really felt sorry for her.
6:31
And I don't know but I could go back to live because kar am
6:33
I you know, I don't know if I could go back to living like
6:35
that again. Someone asked me this the other day, rich and so I
6:41
figured again I would ask you if I decided to sell my home. And
6:45
I know this is a very generic question and every situation is different. What
6:48
am I looking at as far as out of pocket cost go from the seller
6:51
sign Yeah, so you know you have to expect to have some Traditionally,
6:57
you're going to have to expect to have some buyer closing fees participation. So
7:01
a lot it's very common for the buyers they're closing feel on their loan to
7:04
you know, somewhere around five thousand dollars. They're going to probably ask the
7:08
seller to participate in that. They don't have to. Everything in real estate's
7:11
negotiable, but I would expect you to, you know, I'll make twenty
7:15
five hundred of it, just as a general rule. That would behalf about
7:19
their buyer's closing costs. And you've got another thousand dollars toward your own closing
7:24
costs for attorney fees, transfer of title taxes, those kind of things that
7:28
get you. And then you should budget a couple of thousand dollars for repairs,
7:31
you know, because there's going to be an inspection, there's likely to
7:34
be some deferred maintenance that happens, and you know, home inspections can be
7:39
a little scary but the reality of it is a couple thousand dollars typically on
7:43
a budget will will make you comfortable to be able to get there. And
7:46
home inspections, you know, you and I were actually having a conversation not
7:50
long ago about home inspections. They can make or break a new home buy
7:55
And just because home is expensive doesn't automatically mean it's going to pass on home
8:00
inspection because it depends on It's just like any kind of other inspection. It
8:03
depends on what inspector that you get and how specific that they because they don't
8:07
want to be held biable. Well, that's that's the thing with home inspectors.
8:11
They're gonna they're gonna see why a you know, and they're going to
8:13
point out every single thing, probably ninety percent of what they see or just
8:18
defer maintenance items. It's true in most homes throughout the valley or throughout our
8:22
area, probably nationally, and then you know, you just kind of have
8:24
to focus on the safety related items, and you know, electrical issues and
8:28
plumbing leaks and roof leaks and things that could you know that the new buyer
8:33
is gonna want fixed, but you know you're not going to necessarily I don't
8:35
know, as an example, put new clocking around the vanity in the bathroom
8:41
or something of that nature. But the home inspector is absolutely going to call
8:43
it out. Yeah, and again it depends on which home inspectory you get.
8:46
Yeah, different opinion. That's how thorough that they are. And I
8:50
know you folks in real estate and there's things that you're allowed to say and
8:54
aloud, but do you probably silently to yourself, probably say when so and
8:58
so is getting this home inspector, you just kind of go, oh god,
9:01
we all we all have our preferred vendors, our preferred affiliates, and
9:05
you know, and then those the ones that kind of make well, just
9:09
prepare yourself. I try and have the conversation that with sellers when I'm going
9:11
to list their home, just to what to expect so that it doesn't freak
9:15
them out. The same thing with buyers, you know, so that they
9:16
don't they know that, hey, there's going to be a ton I mean,
9:20
I can just you know, share this, my my house is under
9:22
contract, have the home inspection recently. I know the inspector well, I
9:26
you know, when he's finished, he's like, hey, I'm all done.
9:28
I'm like, hey, how'd it go. Hopefully didn't find anything too
9:31
bad. He actually said, you know, if they're all like this one,
9:35
we wouldn't even home inspectors. So I'm like, that's a relief.
9:37
You know. We get the report and it's sixty two pages, so just
9:41
don't don't freak out, you know, whether you're on the buyer or the
9:45
seller side. Right, I'm talking to Rich. Really not that bad.
9:46
We're talking to Rich the realtor client here from a Meek's Realty. All right,
9:50
So let's talk about getting attorneys involved. Nothing good in life ever comes
9:54
when you get attorneys involved. And I'm just saying that because I know I
9:56
have a lot of attorneys who listen to the show. Kidding of course,
9:58
but in not all instances, but some instances, there's going to be attorneys
10:03
involved in transactions. Yeah, you've got to have a title attorney who can
10:05
translate the lead and do the title search and go back. You know what
10:09
they're going to do is get that, get all those records transferred over to
10:11
you, make sure your taxes are paid. They've got to report all of
10:15
that anyway, and they're typically going to you know, be one thousand dollars
10:18
or so on both sides of that transaction for the buyer and the seller,
10:22
and you need them and there's some good ones out there they're going to you
10:24
know, just again, you got to you don't want to have any surprises
10:28
that you know, oh my gosh, my taxes didn't get transferred over,
10:31
and then the sheriff is selling your house a couple of years later because you
10:35
didn't pay your taxes. So you and I Rich both live in Taysese Valley
10:39
and we know they're coming. Putnam County Chamber of Commerce just had another ribbon
10:45
cutting. This passed Friday for an all new housing development. This one was
10:48
out of Route thirty five. New Core is coming. We're already seeing people
10:54
moving into Putnam County. They're moving into various areas, but it's obviously Mason
10:58
County, but they're moving into Putnam and it seems like more than anywhere else
11:01
right now. And that a lot of that has to do with because we
11:03
have a very low crime rate. We we have, you know, some
11:07
of the best schools in the state and things that nature. That's one of
11:09
the reasons why they're moving. But with all of these people that are are
11:16
are moving in. We still need homes. We still need houses. Yeah,
11:20
another development being built in wind filled right beside the well. You'll make
11:24
fun of this because you're good at this, but it's right inside the funeral
11:26
home. They're wind bill on thirty four. But they're building more town homes
11:30
there and just we need those houses and we need those builders to do it.
11:33
So, you know, the inventory levels have kind of leveled out.
11:35
I mean, they're you know, part of the whole raising of the rates
11:39
with the goal I think was to obviously to build some inventory back up where
11:45
we're just you know, we just don't have it and haven't had it now
11:48
since COVID happened. But it has kind of leveled out. The expectation is
11:50
they think that it might be flat for another year or so and then potentially
11:54
it might go back up a little bit. But we need homes. We
11:58
need places to build them. You know, place is to buy or builders
12:01
rather to build those houses for us so we could sell them well and again
12:05
with and there are people that are coming into into Putnam County and some of
12:09
the other areas right now. And the one of the problems is is and
12:11
this is not just a Putnam County thing. This is going on in various
12:15
various points of the state because people are relocating here. As you said,
12:20
we need homes. We need people to build homes or even for you know,
12:24
people to sell their home. So, you know, people ask me,
12:28
you know, when's the right time to buy? Is it? You
12:30
know rates are close to eight percent now based on your you know, your
12:33
death, the income and all that stuff. But I always think the right
12:37
time to buy is when you need to buy. You know that, don't
12:39
You're not really holding out for the ideal scenario right now. If you need
12:43
to buy a house, then find yourself a good realtor, and I know
12:46
one, so call me. But if you need to buy it, then
12:50
just buy the house and then worry about the rate a couple of years down
12:52
the road. You can always refinance that. Is there a time of year
12:56
in your experience that seems to be better for buying homes or maybe when you
13:00
see more people that are reaching out, is it you know spring and people,
13:03
you know, after the fall happens and people look at their houses and
13:05
they think, man, I don't want to live in this place. Is
13:07
it winter time? Because they're tired of the air blowing in. Is there
13:11
a certain time, Well, the spring selling season is definitely the heaviest volume
13:16
of it for all of us. I mean, that's just we sell more
13:18
homes, so more buyers are motivated, more sellers are motivated. People are
13:20
trying to get ahead of the school for the following year. They're trying to
13:24
get it into a home before their summer vacation, move over the summer,
13:28
that kind of thing. So the springtime traditionally is the busiest time of the
13:31
year. Rich, is always a pleasure to talk to you. Where can

17:37
She's in the studio this morning. Good morning, Allen, how are you.
17:41
Good morning, I'm great, beautiful Christmas, all morning, Happy Halloween.
17:45
Thank you. Boom. So that's as scary as it gets this morning,
17:48
right, Yeah, we're talking about healthcare though. That could be kind
17:52
of scary, very scary transition. See, that's why it's why they pay
17:53
me the big bucks. That was impressive. Yeah, that's not really well,
17:56
we're trying to take some of the fright out of Oh let's see what
18:00
you did there. Okay, all right, So open enrollment starts tomorrow.
18:04
Starts tomorrow and runs through January fifteenth. But if you want your coverage to
18:10
begin January one or twenty twenty four, you need to be enrolled by December
18:14
fifteenth. There's going to be a press conference I think happening today. Talk
18:17
about that, talk about that. Yeah, I'm very excited. Jeremy Smith,
18:19
director of the West Virginia Navigator Program, will be with us. Will
18:23
be at six hundred Leg in Sullivan Way. So anybody would like to come,
18:27
should pop up on the second time eleven o'clock. OK. So you're
18:32
leaving there directly, I presume YEA. So those who may be new to
18:36
the process generally speaking, and explain what explain what open enrollment is. Yeah,
18:41
I mean this is really fascinating this time around because the subsidies have been
18:45
enhanced so much. So open enrollment is a time where you can look at
18:49
no matter what's happening in your life, you can look at changing the coverage
18:55
you have, securing coverage that you may not have because of some of the
19:00
changes to the ACA. You may have a employer based policy that maybe consumes
19:07
fifteen percent of your household income that would make you eligible to actually look at
19:11
a more affordable policy through the marketplace. You know that wasn't that hasn't always
19:15
been available. So this open enrollment gives you a time to really assess the
19:21
different healthcare health insurance products in the marketplace. And what are the most common
19:26
questions people have about open enrollment? How do I do it? I mean,
19:30
you know it's intimidating. Yeah, I mean it's pretty intimidating. I've
19:33
done this work in different ways for a long time. I've sat on a
19:37
hospital board and I've not seen anything more complicated than healthcare from every aspect of
19:44
it. But what is so helpful here is working with a navigator. And
19:48
that's why I'm excited about Jeremy Smith being with us at eleven this morning.
19:53
As a navigator, you can make a call to ACA navigator dot com.
19:57
So I'm going to repeat that a couple of times because i want people to
20:00
have that number or that website ACA navigator dot com. Or you can call
20:07
one eight four four nine eight two two seven three seven, and there's a
20:11
staff of trained people that'll just sit down with you and go through the policies
20:17
that are available to you in the marketplace. And there's a lot of them,
20:21
and it's it's something you can begin on your own, but it's truly
20:25
complicated because of your premiums may differ based on not only household income but your
20:30
zip code. So what might be true for Sally, it may not be
20:33
too true for Fred depending on where they live. Okay, and let's talk
20:37
about that. As far as the different divisions. Are we talking about different
20:41
states? There are differences. Are we talking about areas in West Virginia that
20:44
Charleston may be different than Huntington, for example, neighborhoods it can be different.
20:48
Yeah, yeah, I mean zip codes really really important, and the
20:51
household income is a real significant factor as well, and Also again, even
20:56
if you have an employer based and it consumes a certain amount of your income,
21:02
it would qualify one for reduce, actually enhance subsidies. That would make
21:07
a policy that may be even better than what's offered through your employer based healthcare
21:11
and make it affordable for you. Talk about the organization West Virginia's for Affordable
21:15
Healthcare, you folks, have you been on the show before and now there's
21:18
been on to talk about overall your organization and what your mission is. Yeah,
21:22
our mission day really is to bring a consumer voice to public policy and
21:26
healthcare. And you know, one sentence that probably sums it up better than
21:30
anything, and we want to hear from consumers about the barriers they have felt
21:33
to healthcare, and then we want to work with lawmakers to improve policies to
21:40
make healthcare more affordable and accessible to every West Virginia. What is the relationship
21:47
between your organization to people that do the kind of work that you do.
21:51
What has that relationship been like in dealing with those under the dome in the
21:56
legislature and whatever. I think it's been very positive. Just about everybody we
22:00
speak to want every West Virginian to have healthcare We may have different approaches on
22:07
how to get there, but you know, we're pretty close to covering every
22:11
West Virginian. Twenty thirty years ago, over twenty percent of West Virginians were
22:15
uninsured. Today only six percent of West Virginians are uninsured. And that's a
22:22
variety that goes from employer based, which most of us get our healthcare,
22:26
to Medicaid and now the Affordable Care Act. So that's pretty impressive, but
22:33
that still means about one hundred and seven thousand West Virginians are uninsured. And
22:38
some of that is because they don't have employer based Perhaps they make too much
22:45
to be eligible for Medicaid, but their past experiences they could not afford the
22:52
premiums on the ACA. They're much more affordable now than they were, so
22:56
I would encourage people who aren't covered to take another look at that. Ellen
23:02
Allen, as executive director of West Virginians for Affordable Healthcare. Open enrollment begins
23:06
tomorrow. Press conference scheduled for eleven o'clock this morning to teach people more about
23:10
it. Talk about the age of West Virginians. Allen, not you specifically,
23:15
Yeah, but because that could get me hurt. You know, you
23:18
never do that. But but you know, here's the thing. West Virginia
23:23
is the oldest state in the nation, and so obviously with that is going
23:26
to be is going to become because it's simply a numbers game, Allen,
23:32
There's going to be more questions and there's going to be more people that are
23:34
trying to get signed up. Talk about that. Yeah, I'm glad you
23:37
asked me that, because, I mean, there's a real economic issue to
23:40
healthcare, right and I'm not quite eligible for Medicare, but I do want
23:45
to talk about that because it's also open enrollment for Medicare, and talking about
23:51
complicated that piece is even more complicated. What I learned recently, and I
23:55
didn't know this, and I've been doing this for a while, is the
23:57
state Health Insurance program has essentially navigators that will help people look at their Medicare
24:04
options and the different supplements, and that also will look at your income,
24:10
it'll look on your healthcare needs, and I would encourage people to take a
24:14
look at that, and that would really be focused of course on people aged
24:17
sixty five and up, which is a large portion of West Virginians. Yeah,
24:21
I have I have actually someone in my family right now that just turned
24:25
sixty five, and he is going through this right now. And he's somebody
24:29
that's worked his entire life and he's to the point now that he's looking at
24:33
retirement and not right away, but try to weigh out all these different things
24:37
about and it's and this is somebody who's spent their life with paperwork and things
24:42
of that nature. And now he was just like, he's calling my wife
24:47
and not calling me, but he's called my wife that's saying I'm lost on
24:52
this. I'm lost. Well, that's why several of my friends are Medicare
24:56
eligible and pass this on to him. It's called the HIP program. This
25:00
is West Virginia, and they actually have people all over the state that will
25:04
help you over the phone or set up an appointment with you just to talk
25:07
about your options on Medicare and how to supplement supplement and what program will be
25:15
best. But the State Health Insurance Assistance Program West Virginia SHIP and the number
25:19
is one eight seven seven nine eight seven four four sixty three. And they
25:25
are fantastic, okay, And they're just there to answer basic questions. Yeah,
25:30
basic questions. Even a lot of times you can do this over the
25:33
phone and walk through and they may have the site up both of you all
25:37
looking at the same time. They also can set up a one on one
25:41
appointment with your friend of mine. Just did that and it was really really
25:42
helpful for And that's kind of, you know, one of the things with
25:47
West Virginia, as I said, being an older state as we are,
25:49
you know, you you get to a certain point in your life, and
25:52
I'm starting to look at that right now. I'm not there yet, but
25:55
I'm starting, like you, I'm starting to look in that direction right now,
25:57
I'm thinking, Okay, I've worked, you know for however many years
26:00
I worked, you know, one hundred and eighty I think, And now
26:04
I'm starting to look at things like starting to think about this thing. After
26:07
a while, your mind changes a little bit and your mindset change, especially
26:11
when you know your fifties as I am, it becomes pretty crucial. I
26:15
mean. And that if we have time, I'd like to talk a little
26:19
bit about it. You bring up a good point we're thinking about that.
26:22
You know, people can really prepare for this because open roame it begins tomorrow.
26:27
It runs through January fifteenth. If you want coverage effective January, first,
26:33
you need to have it by December fifteenth, and I would encourage people
26:36
to start calling the navigator now, call them now, because I know I
26:41
spoke with the Jeremy I think two weeks ago and they're already booking halfway through
26:45
November. So get on their schedule. Give them a call because some of
26:49
the some of the things you can do and help planning. Time is of
26:53
the essence. Time is of the essence because it is complicated, and there's
26:56
not like and this is what I think she'll oppressive. There's not just one
27:00
plan that fits everybody. They all have unique characteristics that look at what your
27:07
healthcare needs are and it you know you don't want to pay for more coverage
27:10
than you need, but you also want to make sure you're not vulnerable financially
27:14
if something would happen. So just being able to work through those can save
27:18
you thousands of dollars a year, and it also make sure you're not missing
27:22
coverage that you need to shop early. Really look at your family's needs or
27:27
your needs if it's just for you, look at your current plan, consider
27:32
the cost, and seek that expert advice that the navigators can give you.
27:36
They're really great. But Dave Allen Show's brought to you, parted by a
27:38
general hardware and number of Windfield. From kitchens to paints to deck, straight
27:41
framed wood, roofie metal, on anything else you're going to need. You
27:45
can find a general hardware and number of Windfield down one now on the executive

27:51
It's a lot of phone numbers, so on and so forth. So
27:52
let's rack them up and shoot them again, as my grandfather used to say,
27:56
and start from the top and go over all of the numbers and the
28:00
dates and so on and so forth. Ahead, Okay. Op enrollment begins
28:03
tomorrow and runs through January fifteenth. If you want coverage effective January one,
28:10
you need to get enrolled by December fifteenth, So give a Navigator a call
28:15
again. These are people who are just focused on West Virginia, specifically ACA
28:21

28:30

you want to give the West Virginia Ship State Health Insurance Program A call
28:41
one eight seven seven nine eight seven four four sixty three. They also have
28:45
a website wvship wvs hip dot org. Again, these people are really helpful,

33:07
Okay, all right, so sports a T shirt. Okay, I got

that cargo shorts, I got that white sox above the ankle. No,
33:16
no, don't. I don't do that. White leather sneakers, not yet.

day. And by the way, the Eagles are just going to kill or

the Eagles are gonna get killed by the Cowboys this weekend. Wishful thinking on
33:45
my part, But anyway, I appreciate the texture there, all right.
33:47
So City of Charleston is going to hold their final in a series of meetings
33:52
called Here to Serve This one said for tomorrow evening at six at the Roosevelt
33:54
Center, five O two Roughner Avenue. Now This has been an opportunity to
33:59
get questions, answer, to complain, to give compliments, whatever you want
34:02
to do. It's your time with city officials to do whatever. This is
34:10
the final one schedule, at least for now. Others have been held Kadas
34:14
City. They had one at Mary C. Snow Elementary, Oakwood Road and
34:17
downtown of a library. Again, this is the final one. They'll have
34:21
reps from the various city departments on hand, Mayor's office, police Department,
34:24
streets, roads, fire, all of them. So get out there and
34:28
make your voice heard. It's tomorrow night starting at six at the Roosevelt Center
34:31
on Rouughner and I understand that these have been pretty well attended. This is
34:35
the final one that's on the schedule. So this one again is tomorrow evening
34:39
at six. It's the Roosevelt Center, five O two Roughner Avenue in Charleston.
34:43
Speaking of the mayor, next Monday is her day in the sun,
34:49
so to speak. She'll be in on mayor Monday starting at nine forty next
34:53
Monday morning. So if you have questions or comments for the mayor, get
34:57
them ready. She'll be here on Monday programming. Nope, I'm gonna be
35:00
away from the par Marstore studio this Friday, so I'll miss Friday Funhouse this
35:06
week. I have an engagement with one of my other three jobs I have
35:08
outside this one, so the boss's producing today. Dale Cooper will be in
35:12
for me on the show this coming Friday morning. Trick or Treat happening tonight
35:17
most areas six to eight or so, depending on where you live. I
35:20
did see one county. I think it was Wayne that's starting at five,
35:22
but it's six to eight most areas. And I'll be honest with you,
35:28
I guess I was that weird kid who I'm turned into a weird adult.
35:31
But I was never really a big fan of trick or treating growing up.
35:36
I stopped trigger treating probably fourth or fifth grade. Just wasn't my thing.
35:40
As much as I love food, I was never really a big candy eater,
35:45
so I literally gave my food away to other kids or family members.
35:50
Now I'm an adult who doesn't get excited about it much either. I'm also
35:54
not a Christmas fan, so I just lived for the humdrum of everyday life.
36:00
That heavyman said, enjoy your trick or treating and be safe out there
36:05
tonight. I got to give credit where credit is due. You credit the
36:10
booking agents, the promoter, city officials, others, whoever responsible for the
36:15
great concerts that we're getting in. Charles announced last Friday that ru Speedwagon is
36:22
coming to Charleston Long with Rick Springfield talking about your ultimate show for Gen xers
36:27
and now for the redneck Southern rockers like myself. It was announced yesterday that
36:30
zz Top, the greatest Man ever in my opinion, Leonard Skinnard and Blackstone
36:37
Cherry are coming to the Kylo Seemic Convention Center on Saturday, March thirtieth.
36:40
My man Animal over on her sister station nine eighty seven Mountain has been giving
36:45
away tickets. He was actually giving away tickets to both shows, I think
36:47
this morning. So listen to Animal for your chance to win. And by
36:52
the way, if you haven't had a chance to check out our all news
36:53
station in the Mountain, it's been on since July. Steve, Animal,
36:55
Shock, Lutricia, the whole crew just killing it right now. So if
36:59
you're a classic rock this is your station, the only one in the valley
37:01
that's playing nothing but classic rock. So go cheg it out. Text says,
37:08
well, they sent me pictures, but here we go again another illegal
37:13
alien caravan headed towards the border. Those were pictures that were sent to me.
37:17
Appreciate that Texas, Dave. Why can't the state leaders go around the
37:22
state and let people vent since they won't answer the phones when we call.
37:27
Well, I know that is that certain groups of the legislators do these public
37:30
meetings from time to time, and I don't know if that's who the texture
37:34
is referring to. But not necessarily a bad idea, Dave Alan Show brought

Find your local husbands for dining delivery pickup a husbandspizza dot com. So my
37:52
news headlines this morning, Hoppy is going to get into this one a little
37:57
bit further right off the top of the show at ten or six on Talk
38:00
Client, a US district magistrate has recommended a default judgment in the class action
38:07
lawsuit against the Southern Regional Jail in Beckley over inhumane conditions at the jail.
38:14
Now, the magistrate is allegending that several paper records into investigations and grievances were
38:22
his words intentionally destroyed out that's not good. And there was a lawsuit over
38:32
the whole thing filed in September twenty twenty two against the Southern Regional Jail.
38:37
They also named the Division of Corrections and every county commission that pays the house
38:43
inmates in the Southern Regional Jail. So that's the way it works is these
38:46
county commissions pay their jail. Here on the news a lot of times the
38:50
jail bills. Well, if you feed into the Southern Regional Jail, which
38:53
Charleston does not, then that's where the county commissions come into play there.
38:59
So they filed lawsuits there. The governor Chief of Staffed Brian Abraham says there
39:04
was never any intention to destroy any documents or evidence. He called anything related
39:07
to that quote a mistake, not a purposeful action en quote. Now we
39:14
have a story posted about it on the website. Leslie Rubin of WCHS Television
39:22
has been the one covering story. She's actually going to be on Hoppy as
39:25
the first guest coming up at ten o six this morning, Texas. A
39:30
good job with the interview with Ellen well, thank you very much. Our
39:32
job is to give out, is to get information out to people. Our
39:37
lead story on the website this morning is Judge kick ass. I'm sorry,
39:40
your honor Judge Mary clair Acres is refusing to lower bail in this Systonville neglect
39:46
case. Jane white Fair and Donald ray Lance are being held on two hundred
39:53
thousand dollars bail each following their arrest earlier this month. And you know the
40:00
story by now. The two are accused of having their kids, a son
40:07
and a daughter, both teenagers, locked in a shed on their property in
40:10
Sissonville. Now there was another younger child upstairs and aloft of a separate structure.
40:22
Now White Feathers, attorney whose marked plants, is saying that there is
40:24
another side to the story, that there was actually a key inside the shed
40:31
that would have allowed the kids to leave anytime they wanted. And he called
40:38
the barn, which I haven't seen it. I've seen the pictures that we
40:43
posted online and the TV news crews have done and so on and so forth.
40:46
A barn is kind of a stretch. It was more of a shed,
40:51
as Chris called it, more than anything else. But he's saying the
40:53
defense attorney is is that the kids could leave any time they wanted, and
40:58
he called it just a hangout for the brother and sister. M oh kay.
41:07
I'm not sure what the explanation for the filthy conditions inside was, including
41:13
buckets that were being used as bathroom facilities, or the fact that a brother
41:19
and sister never want to hang out together in the first place, let alone
41:22
have a quote unquote hangout. And look, I'm not hating on attorney plants,
41:27
that's his job. I mean, he's a defense attorney, but dude,
41:31
really, uh, judge kicked. Judge Acres called one of the defendant's
41:38
white feather a flight risk. Of course, this this couple originally from Washington
41:43
State, uh, and refused to lower her bond, and all five of
41:47
the kids we understand now are in the care of of a CPS. It's
41:52
it's just a tragic story, and you know it's it happened earlier in uh
42:00
October, I think is when the story first broke in October second, I
42:05
think it's I think that was the date of it, and it got nationwide
42:07
attention and of course a another West Virginia stereotype further by people that aren't even
42:15
from West Virginia, by the way, they just moved here not long ago.
42:19
And one of the defendant's brothers commented about seeing the key, and it
42:23
was brought up in the I guess in the bond hearing yesterday that why didn't
42:28
the police see the key that was hanging there? And so on, and
42:30
so I'm sorry, I just can't buy that story. I'm not an I'm
42:34
not an attorney. Again. I'm not hating on mister Plants. That's his

How about the former in North Dakota GOP state senator who was indicted for
46:08
child porn and child sex tourism. It's so strange how members of the Party
46:13
of Christians and Family Values tend to wind up in that position, says text
46:17
are not really familiar with the story. I will look into it, but
46:21
I can tell you I don't think either party has a has a necessarily has
46:25
a lock on things of that nature. Sadly, Kat Skelton has a story
46:30
post at wv Metronews dot com. The Kanawah County Prosecuting an Attorney's office said
46:36
yesterday the deputies in Kanawha County were justified in a shooting in Cross Lanes led
46:42
to the death of Brian Edwards Spencer. There was a press conference held about
46:46
Esjcat has a story posted. You will recall this story. This is out
46:49
of cross Lanes and this was a person originally from Logan County that was hold
46:54
up at a hotel and had been to prison. And he was actually called
46:58
by a former I think or love interest of his and they said he's not
47:01
going out without it. He went out with a bang, was what he
47:04
said. And I guess there was an investigation of the police. They say
47:07
it was totally justified according to a texture. All right, let's talk a
47:13
little bit about traffic. And I somehow missed all the tie ups you have
47:17
to normally with all the traveling that I do when I was sixty four,
47:22
I'm the one stuck in the middle of it. Yesterday afternoon, however,
47:24
I was on the other end of sixty four in Huntington, and although there
47:29
I was, there was an accident at one point westbound outside Huntington. By
47:34
that time, I was traveling eastbound, had a back home. So if
47:37
you were traveling and trying to get out of Charleston yesterday around three point thirty
47:42
four five o'clock normal quitting time for most people, it was a no go
47:45
for sure. And this morning I just missed an accident on sixty four East
47:52
near the Winfield accident. I mean when I say I missed it, I
47:54
missed it by a couple of maybe five ten minutes because my life was traveling
48:00
behind me and she was about five miles behind me, and she called me.
48:05
It's to say now she's held up in this accident that I had just
48:08
missed. People, I don't know what the what the cause of the accident
48:14
was. You probably saw the picture we had it posted online about the truck
48:16
that lost a lot of plywood apparently on sixty four. Slow down. It's
48:23
not that hard. And I'm somebody that from time to time has a lead
48:28
foot. I will be the first to admit it, but not in situations
48:31
like that, not yesterday, when it was an absolutely miserable travel day because
48:35
of the rain and leaves down and so on and so forth. And experts
48:38
will tell you that there's usually more accidents in rain Actually it is the statistical
48:44
fact. There are more a lot more accidents in rainy conditions than snowy and
48:46
icy conditions. Just slow down. Ninety nine percent of the accidents could be
48:58
eliminated if people would just slow down and realize that in the work zones,
49:05
the speed limit is fifty five miles an hour, and that's an optimal that's
49:09
when it's perfect. That's when it's sunny in seventy five. If it's raining
49:13
like it was yesterday, it's a lot lower than that. It's not hard
49:16
people, you know, just Ton'd be stupid Texas Dave I hung out in
49:27
some shady places that didn't even have a bucket. I'm guessing you have two.
49:30
Just say, maybe we didn't have all of the information when you crucified
49:34
these people as possible. Yeah, I mean, and that's why that's why
49:37
you have a trial, and that's why it goes to court. Absolutely,
49:43
you know, absolutely, and it'll all come out. I'm just saying that
49:46
that defense seems to me to be a little bit weak. But as a
49:51
defense attorney, that's your job is to find things that you can find people
49:54
that will believe them, And I'm not saying it's right or I'm just saying
49:58
from my opinion, I don't know anybody involved, wasn't unseen. I'm just
50:01
saying that looks a little a little sketchy, but the texture is right.
50:06
You know, sometimes we have a tendency, especially in this era of constant
50:09
median we constantly have We're constantly connected to the Facebook and new sites and X
50:15
and so on and so forth and Instagram and whatever that everybody plays judge jury
50:20
an executioner, and we're all guilty of that. First, I'm the first
50:23
one to admit that I am coop. A couple of minutes left in the
50:28
show. You got the kid all all jacked up and ready to go and
50:31
get schedules tonight. We'll see what happens with her when I get want to
50:35
check in here in a couple hours. She was not feeling all that great
50:37
last night, was starting to get a little running nose, worried that we
50:39
have three parties this weekend already, So I'm worried that maybe she got got
50:44
a little cold somewhere, you know. And the thing about it is,
50:46
when you and I were kids, you know, growing up, the trick
50:49
or treating thing six' eight on Halloween night, and now we have trunk
50:52
re treats, which we just had thirty five hundred kids over at Gomar Ballpark
50:57
last week for trick or beat and all the area organized. I know,
51:00
the Benny Keaton s trying my buddy Chris and those folks had had a truck
51:02
or treade in. The churches have truck or treats and so on and so
51:06
forth. So there's certainly not an excuse for any kid not to be able
51:09
to trick or freed somewhere. Yeah, I think that, you know,
51:13
there is a thing where our communities aren't as walkable as they used to be.
51:16
They're not built with the sidewalks necessarily, and sometimes it's not as safe
51:21
as it was when we were kids, or at least the impression is.
51:22
It's not as the impression is, it's not as safe. Actually it is
51:24
safer now, Yeah, I know, I think generally speaking it is.
51:27
And most of the stuff we were scared about as kids, it wasn't really
51:30
anyway, like the razor blades and can never happ like that. It was
51:31
fake. It was all fake, a moral panic that was made up.
51:35
So but not that you shouldn't check your candy and make sure your kids are
51:37
safe and all that stuff. But just keep in mind that that stuff was
51:39
largely just made up and then like local news ran with it and it became
51:44
urban legend. More or less, it never happened. Yeah, yeah,
51:45
never. There's not a verifiable case of it anywhere, sort of like the
51:47
Satanic panic, it just didn't exist. That being said, I was more
51:52
of a uh. I liked trick or treat, but like you, I
51:54
didn't go trick or treating. Late into my life. I was more of
51:58
the scary movies, scary and vironment haunted house kind of like I like to
52:01
going to haunted houses. I like to being scared and things like that,
52:04
but I didn't do a lot of tricker treating. All right, Well,
52:07
best of luck to all the tricker treaders out there tonight. Little Ssie,
52:09
enjoy yourself, and I'm sure Dad uh and Shannon will probably be if she
52:14
does feel like when it will probably enjoy some of the fruits of the labor,
52:16
you know, but it's not a whole lot of fruit. It'll be
52:17
more like chocolate covered stuff. All right, We gotta go. Thank you
