eight. Let's welcome into the show, as we do every ry Friday,
3:00
our good friend Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charleston Humaine Association with this week's Adopt
3:04
Me Please Pet of the Week, Hanna, Good morning, welcome to the
3:07
show. Good morning, how are you? By the way, I'm going
3:09
fine. And by the way, I was told by one of our sales
3:13
team upstairs, Tiera, that today is International Women's Day. And I was
3:17
told by Tiera that to the women I have on the show, which would
3:22
be you and Stephanie Casey from The Grind, who'll be in the second segment,
3:25
I have to say, Happy International Women's Day. Well, thank you
3:30
very much. Do you have big plans for International Women's Day? Probably to
3:34
take pictures of Sheltered Dog's National Women's Day seek. Okay, I I was
3:39
gonna say, just put all all female dogs up there. How's that?
3:43
Yep, That's what I'm doing all right. So as always, we've got
3:46
the picture posted. If you want to see the dog we're talking about this
3:50
week, you can check it out on Dave Island Radio, on Facebook,
3:52
and on the Dave Island Show at Dave A seventy on Axe the artists formerly
3:57
known as Twitter. It is the story of Blue, Is that right?
4:01
Yeah? Blue? Blue? Blue? All right? Blue is a beautiful
4:06
dog. And I'm told by somebody upstairs because I mentioned the name Blue and
4:12
they said, oh, that's I think it's like a kid show or something.
4:15
Is that right? Because I don't know. I'm woefully inadequate in that
4:17
department. It's a kid show or something, right? It sure is?
4:20
Now? This Blue's name is spelt a little bit different. His is b
4:24
o U e E bluey on the cartoon is a E y I believe,
4:30
but I'll take your word for it. Tell us the story of Blue.
4:35
So Blue is a male. He's about two years old. The dog that
4:44
we did last week, which was Copper, he is actually he came in
4:47
with him and they very much so look like brothers. They were surrendered to
4:51
us. But Blue is playful with other dogs. He does pull re leash
5:00
a little bit, but you know, with training, he can get better
5:02
at that. He does show to be kids friendly. However, every single
5:06
time that I say kid friendly, I always advise caution with that because you
5:11
never know. And I always tell everybody just make sure that you know you're
5:15
keeping an eye on every situation. When you do have a kid with a
5:19
dog, you never know what could happen, and you always want to mind
5:24
the dog as well as the kid as well. Yeah, exactly right.
5:27
That's that's very important that you say that, because it's you can get in
5:30
trouble for putting out a blank statement like that, saying, oh, he's
5:32
great with kids. Well, you have a kid that you know is not
5:35
so great to the dog. What do you what do you expect the dog
5:38
to do? You know, they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna respond a little
5:42
bit. But otherwise, I mean, looks like a fantastic dog. Hanna
5:45
continue. Yes, Yes, everything that we say is everything that we've either
5:49
witnessed at the shelter or witnessed like somebody has fostered or they've been adopted before.
5:57
So we always say, you know, in shelter they seem to be
5:59
kids. We don't know how it will be at home, but we always
6:01
advog caution. But he is a weekend adventurer, what we consider him as.
6:06
He likes to run around and play. He's, like I said,
6:10
good with playful dogs. You're always welcome to bring your dogs up to do
6:14
a meet and greet with any of the shelter dogs that we know would be
6:17
all right to do so. But other than that, he's a very healthy
6:23
boy as far as we know, and it would be amazing thing if he
6:27
could get adopted. And I believe that he is. Let's see, I
6:33
think he's around forty six pounds, so's he's a good sized dog. He's
6:38
a medium I guess you could say dog. And he's just a really really
6:42
sweet boy. So he's looking for a house, run around in and play.
6:46
Now you mentioned that he is the brother of the dog that we focused
6:49
on last week, Copper. Is Copper still available as well? Yes,
6:54
Copper is still available. I mean I wonder how it would be if somebody
6:58
had the room and whatever and adopted both of them at the same time.
7:00
They definitely could, and we could even make sure that. I mean,
7:05
of course they do well together. They came in together. We could even
7:09
show you in the playyard how they do together. But other than that,
7:15
you definitely should take a look at them both. They're very very and those
7:19
would be perfect. I mean, they kind of look like hunting dogs a
7:21
little bit, I mean to me, I mean, I don't mind know
7:25
that for a fact, but they kind of got that that that look to
7:27
them. I think that those dogs, either together or separately, would be
7:30
great in an area as you said, with a large yard. Maybe somebody's
7:33
got a little bit more rural property for him to run around. And this
7:38
is not These aren't apartment dogs. I mean, I don't think. I
7:40
mean, I think, uh, but if you live somewhere where you can
7:43
take them out for a walk. And as you said, they're still kind
7:45
of working on the on the least thing, but I'm sure they'll be fine.
7:47
Are is blue fixed yet? Or will be? He will be.
7:51
He's not quite fixed yet, but he will be. We always try to
7:55
get him on the schedule before they leave, but if we cannot, we
7:59
will let you know how we go about that when you come in to see
8:01
them. All right. The Dave Alan Showing five eighty line brought to you
8:05
a part by General Hardware of Winfield and Milton and General Lumber of Windfield.
8:09
Whether you're getting your home ready for the warm weather months, or you have
8:11
a project you're about to get under way, they can help locally, owed
8:13
and operate a General Hardware and General Lumber. Visit General Hardware wv dot com
8:18
and I see you guys had a bunch more strays taken in this week and
8:22
their picture posted on your Facebook page. Folks, listen, listen to listen
8:26
to your old radio pal Dave here. Okay, take care of your pets,
8:30
and if you live in an area that you can't keep them fenced in
8:33
and you can't watch them, please don't try to make them pets, because
8:35
it just seems like we have so many strays, dogs, cats, and
8:39
others that are dropped off at the shelter Hannah. We do. We have
8:43
a lot of stres that are dropped off almost or actually pretty much every single
8:48
day, and we always hold those dogs for five days for westerns and estate
8:54
code. After that fifth day, they become available to the public. So
8:58
hopefully if you do happen to lose your dog for whatever circumstances may be,
9:03
then definitely check out our website there on our strays and as well as just
9:09
come on up. I always tell everybody if you lost your dog and you
9:11
don't know about the shelter or anything like that, hopefully maybe you hear from
9:16
this or something, but definitely just come on up to the shelters. You
9:20
don't even have to call, but just come on up because it's going to
9:22
be better that you just get up there and look through all the channels and
9:26
make sure that it's your dog or not. And what are your hours at
9:28
the shelter? Here we are open Tuesday through Friday twelve to six and Saturday
9:33
and Sunday twelve to five. And Hannah, we are a weekend a couple
9:37
of days away. I guess from Saint Patrick's Day and I see that you
9:39
have some special Canal Charleston Humane Association Saint Patrick's Day t shirts for sale and
9:45
you can check those out on your social medium. Sure and your website proceeds
9:48
benefit the shelter. Yes, we definitely. We do have a little like
9:52
merch area on our website, so if anybody wants to go check that out,
9:56
it definitely will help support the animals that can cha as well as the
10:01
shelter just as a whole. But they are very, very cute. We
10:03
have one that says happy Saint Kat Trick today for those that you don't want
10:07
to follow them through the category of Pity's Day or something, and then we
10:13
also have ones that are just like fir Mama and stuff like that, so
10:16
definitely check it out. Yeah, we need to talk more about that.
10:18
I didn't realize you had that much merchandise. We'll try to hit that from
10:22
time to time. And finally, before we let you go, Hannah,
10:24
what are we currently in need of the shelter. Of course, we're always
10:28
in need of like laundry, detergent, purina dog chow. I know that
10:35
we always, always, always will take in all of your sheets and blankets.
10:39
That's something that isn't always must have because those go so fast. A
10:46
lot of them we can't keep after the first use because maybe ever been with
10:50
six animals, or they're just absolutely covered, so we can't keep them.
10:56
So a lot of them only get one good use in them. So definitely
10:58
bring them up if you have them, And that would be a good idea
11:01
for people that are planning on doing spring I was about to say spring training.
11:05
I'm in baseball mode spring cleaning. If you're going to replace your sheets
11:09
or whatever and you just don't know what to do with them, take them
11:11
to the shelter. Yeah, we will use them and the dog we'll enjoy
11:16
that. I had a text here for you. For some reason, it
11:20
just disappeared. Okay, yeah, this was a text to Dave. Can
11:24
I also ask anyone that if you hit a dog or cat, please stop
11:28
to check on them. If you cannot take them to a vat, please
11:30
call the humane officer, the non emergency nine one one line or a rescue
11:35
because a lot of them are found on Facebook. Very good advice from a
11:37
listener there, Hanna. I appreciate you the calling in as always, have
11:41
yourself a great International Women's Day and we'll talk again next week. Thanks a
11:46
lot awesome. Thank you had a gardener from the Colin charlest Yumaine Association again.

team. Stephanie Casey is here from the Grind. Stephanie, good morning,
16:15
earro. You're you're going to show about as much as I am so I
16:18
love it. I appreciate it. Welcome to the show. And we have
16:19
with us a name that's very familiar to basketball fans here in the Kanal Valley.
16:25
One of the big time players for the Grind, but spend a lot
16:27
of time on hardwoods here in the valley. Luke Frampton. How are you,
16:30
sir? And one need definitely needs you to come to that microphone a
16:34
little bit. There you go, You're good. You're good yet. Opening
16:37
night, Stephanie, I want to start with you. The Grind playing host
16:40
to the Lebanon lepre cons Is that right? That is yes? The Walker
16:45
Convocation Center on the campus of West Virginia State. Doors open to six and
16:48
kids get in for free courtesy of Kerrie Law Office. Finally here, steph
16:52
it is it is. We've been anticipating this day and it's here. We're
16:56
ready to show off this new team. Uh. These guys are amazing.
17:00
Some of them will jump out of the sky. I mean, it's a
17:03
different caliber of athletes. You're gonna want to come and see him on the
17:06
floor tonight. And I do want to mention this last week in the very
17:08
chair that mister Frampton is setting in sat Keyshawn Bryant and he was hoping to
17:14
make a splash for the Grind this season. Well he made such a splash.
17:18
He's already got called up to the NBA's LA Clippers. So good news
17:22
for him, Stephanie and I know as badly as you wanted to have him
17:26
playing for the Grind this season. But that's what it's all about, though,
17:27
is giving these young men the exposure that they need to move forward.
17:32
And he's moved on up. That is the purpose of the league. We
17:36
talked about that being the TBL. The Basketball League is a showcase league.
17:40
So these guys get their film, they get their stats, they are building
17:42
their resume so that they can move up. We were hoping that he didn't
17:45
move quite so quickly so that everybody can kind of see him fly through the
17:49
gym. But we're really proud of and more excited for him, so we
17:52
wish him all the best. Here's what I take from this. They makes
17:53
one appearance on this show and the LA Clippers call him out. That's what
17:57
it was. I was thinking that. I was thinking, it's exactly exactly
18:00
what I would talk to this guy, Luke Frampton. As I said to
18:03
the beginning the show, Luke certainly no stranger to basketball fans here in the
18:07
Kanal Valley. Give us your basketball bio, sir. Yeah. So I
18:10
went to PoCA from I graduated in twenty seventeen. I played there for four
18:15
years, and then out of high school, I went to Davidson College in
18:18
North Carolina, played there for two years, and then I transferred to Western
18:22
Kentucky. Finished out my college career there, graduated from there. And so,
18:26
so you did the collegiate thing and two different universities. And I know,
18:32
once you're a ballplayer of any kind, you rarely ever put down the
18:34
ball, whether it's football, baseball, or basketball. So you're still playing.
18:37
What were you doing in the interim just shooting hoops from Yeah, basically
18:41
you could basically. So my last year Western, I actually tore my aco.
18:45
Yeah, so I was out for nine months doing rehab and whatnot,
18:48
and thankfully I got the call for the ground and now I'm here. So
18:52
what's it been like so Far's been good, man, It's been good.
18:56
It's been really exciting. I know, we got a good group of guys
18:57
that are willing to do whatever it takes to win, and that's what I'm
19:00
excited for. And like she said, it's it's an exposure league, and
19:04
you know, that's what we're all here for to try to make it to
19:07
the next level. Now. And now I know that as you said,
19:10
as I said before, as you know, athletes never really put down their
19:11
sport. They're still playing it one form or never. But when you tour
19:15
your ACL you may have thought, okay, that's it. Yeah, especially
19:18
it being my last year at college ball, I didn't know what I was
19:22
going to do, and thankfully I had a good group of people down there
19:25
taking care of my knee and my mental health was a big thing for me.
19:29
Like I said, I thought I was done, and I had the
19:30
right people telling me, you know, you can still do this, you
19:32
can still make money playing this game. And uh, you know, I
19:34
just believe in myself so much that you know, that's what I'm here doing.
19:37
Is the knee fully healed now Yeah, it's getting there. It's getting
19:41
there. The more I play, the more comfortable I get. At first,
19:44
I was a little bit shaky, a little bit iffy on it.
19:45
But the more the more I play, the easier it gets. Definitely talk
19:48
about the importance of having a local guy on this team. When we first
19:53
built the West Virginia Grind, it was about local guys, right and last
19:59
year starting out the season, we started out a little bit late, but
20:00
we had a few more local guys last year really to let the people know
20:07
here in Charleston and in the area, in the Canall Valley in West Virginia,
20:11
there is a place that you can go after your collegiate career and you
20:14
can get into the professionals. So I thought that was important to have that
20:17
accessibility here in the area. And it's nice because everywhere I go, you
20:22
know, people like, oh, I heard Luke's playing for you. I
20:25
heard Luke play. I said, I didn't know you were a celebrity around
20:26
these this way, So you know, he knows a lot of folks,
20:30
which is great. We love that we've got a couple other local players.
20:33
Will Collins, he's also on the team and he's getting a huge following on
20:37
social media. Also, he has a lot of support in the area.
20:41
And then Chris Johnson and Frank they have been around here for a little while.
20:45
Frank played at West Virginia State University, so they live in the community,
20:48
as well as James Moore. He was from South Charleston and so he
20:52
played a little bit elsewhere and now he's back as well. So we're excited.
20:56
We've got a couple of local guys that we showcased on the work and
20:59
that always helped sell tickets. I mean it does. I mean it's it's
21:02
an exciting brand of basketball on the tvl no matter where the players are from,
21:06
but no matter what the city is too. It always helps to sell
21:07
tickets. When you say, hey, there's a name I knew when you
21:10
came in last year or last week you told me about Luca. I've never
21:12
met Luke until literally ten minutes ago, but I certainly knew the name,
21:17
and I said, oh you got I told you last week I was become
21:18
fanboy. I said, oh you got Luke Frampton. That's awesome. That's
21:22
awesome. And these other local guys as well, that's a big part of
21:23
it, right, bring their Grandma's, their aunts and their because of you
21:26
know, all the people. So hoes your family feel about you playing around.
21:30
They're excited, they're excited, they're they're they're able to come see me.
21:33
Probably probably much happier that you're here instead of playing in like Milan.
21:36
Yeah, exactly right, Yeah, instead of across the world. But yeah,
21:40
Dave Allen showing five eighty live broad to apart by Hustan's Pizza Get an

21:45
you're nearest Hussan's at Husson's Pizza dot com for delivery, pickup or for
21:49
dying in. So, Stephanie, what do we have on tap for the
21:52
games tonight? So away from the game, I mean, I know about
21:56
the game, but I mean because there's always a big spectacle that goes on,
21:59
what can fans expect when to come out tonight? So this one's a
22:02
fun one. This is because of Michael Carey law. We all the kids
22:04
are getting free. So I've had some AAU teams call me from Huntington.
22:08
So I am expecting quite a few kids there tonight. I know there are
22:11
five teams that are coming from one area in Huntington and some of the folks
22:15
that I've talked to, So it's going to be a kids night for sure.
22:18
We've got what he is going to be our DJ, so he will
22:21
be there tonight. Know any better than that, I know he's got to
22:23
be here now what he's one of our brothers up here. I'm glad to
22:26
see what he's involved there. Yeah, and I love it goes with Woody
22:30
will come five thousand other people because that's the way what he woulds is well
22:33
and that is true, and he was so supportive last year and we appreciate
22:36
his help, and so he'll be there again tonight, which is exciting.
22:38
And then and then we've got a group of little dancers that are going to
22:41
be coming in to do our halftime show from some local dance companies. So
22:45
we're going to be showcasing some folks like that throughout the season. So we're
22:49
excited for that. And I'm always amazing. I talk about this all the
22:52
time. And Luke, you know, you've played in a lot of different
22:55
arenas. Walker Convocation Center ain't a bad place to play. Yeah, Yeah,
22:59
we played there. We actually played there on my sophomore year when I
23:00
was at poker, we played Robert C. Byrd and Uh we played a
23:04
pretty good game there. It's it's a nice arena. It is. UH
23:07
got a text here for you, Lucas. It says, uh, Luke
23:10
a great player for the Dots and will be a wonderful player and ambassador for
23:14
the ground. I appreciate it all right. Apparently I told this guy was
23:18
popular one, David. It's great to have a Dot on the team.
23:22
Luke's poka team was incredible. Yes, sir, fact it was your guy.
23:25
What was your highlight of your basketball career? Probably went in the state
23:27
championship my sophomore year. We went twenty seven and no, we were the
23:30
first one to do it in like twenty years or something like that. So
23:33
do you still follow the tournaments and kind of keep up with Yeah, So
23:37
coach Osborne is still there down at poker, and he was my coach from
23:38
my freshman to junior year, and then I had a different coach with my
23:41
senior year, coach Ragel, But me and coach Osborne are still close.
23:45
We talked about once a week. Yeah, and well, this year it's
23:48
already been decided that my alma mater, the Logan Wildcats are winning and all
23:52
you know, yeah, I mean, Poker's out of it, so they
23:53
might they might have a chance. I don't know about all that, about
23:56
all that, but but it's gonna be a great night tonight. And I
24:00
just I'm always excited, you know, to help you guys out because I
24:03
just think it's such a great thing for the Canah Valley. I mean,
24:07
we've got so many other things going on, but this is something again,
24:11
Stephanie and we talked about this before bringing the kids out, and because of
24:14
the Michael Career Law Firm, the kids get to come out and enjoy the
24:17
game for free tonight, but getting them involved in general, and I think
24:21
sometimes maybe Luke you went away in this as well. I think when people
24:23
they think about professional athletics, they only think about the NBA and they think
24:29
that's my and again, that's the ultimate goal. You'd still like to be
24:32
there, I mean, that's that's still the ultimate goal. However, there
24:36
is fun and there is money and other aspects to be had to be made
24:41
on a level like with the Grind. And I think too these guys are
24:45
in the community. I mean last week we got the opportunity to work as
24:48
field managers for the soccer tournament down at Shawnee and that was some good times.
24:52
And so we're in the community and we're doing some things with after school
24:56
care, working with the Department of Education, and there are some other opportunity
25:00
that are coming up here that we're excited about. It's making connections for these
25:03
guys too. They're getting in the communities and meeting perhaps people that they wouldn't
25:07
have otherwise met. And I'm all about networking. You never know who you're
25:10
going to meet and what door that might open. And so now this is
25:12
the home opener. Have you already opened the season? We have not.
25:15
This is every game of the season, remember, okay, So and then
25:18
then you start hitting the road. Win we do. We go on the
25:22
road to Frederick, Maryland on Sunday. The Flying Cows, I love it.
25:26
I love it, the Flying Cows, I love I love these names
25:27
we talked about so, I mean, I love the name of the grind
25:32
and I love the logo. And we're going to talk about the merchandising here
25:33
in a couple of moments, but I will say Flying Cows is a pretty
25:37
darn good name, and so maybe we need to look at something like that
25:40
in the future. But the Grind's not bad. I love the Grind.
25:41
Talk about the merchant you guys are are are sporting the merchandise here today.
25:47
I didn't get my T shirt this week. Maybe maybe next time, but
25:49
it's a great logo. Where can people get merchandise for the Grind? So
25:52
on our website we now have a store open, So if you follow us
25:56
on Instagram at WV Grind and then also on Facebook, we have a great
26:00
page. You could get stuff for the toddlers. You could get hot shirt,
26:03
shorts, all the fun things are on there and available, and then
26:06
we will be having some shirts for sale at the game. Also we're bringing
26:10
that merchandise there. Luke, you said this was a great team and a
26:14
great bunch of guys to be around. What is it that makes this team
26:17
so special in your opinion, I think it's just we're so close already.
26:21
We've been you know, we've been around each other for only a couple of
26:22
weeks, and it feels like family already, And I think that's the biggest
26:26
thing, especially being in this community. It's especially being from Poco. It
26:30
was once a Dot, always a Dot, and you always had that following
26:33
with you, and I think that's what makes this group so great. Yeah,
26:36
and it's going to be a great, great night and a great season.
26:38
Now. So you play at home tonight, and when is the next
26:41
home game? The next game home game will be March twenty first, March
26:45
twenty first, and then but then you go on the road to take on
26:48
Flying Cows. Yeah, something of that nature. Well, guys, I
26:51
appreciate you being here and I wish you the best of Lucky Luke. It's
26:53
always great to have a some not only Luke, but others, some local
26:57
names on the team as well. And I know there's going to be a
27:00
whole lot of Dots probably out there tonight now, no doubt. Everybody I've
27:03

Dear Lord Security, our man Steve Animal from her sister Station nine eighty seven,
31:53
A mouth and wild and wonderful classic rocks. Sir Steven, good morning,
31:57
huh rise and I'm good. I'm good. Late night down at Bar
32:02
one on one last night for our annual first and third Thursday's Downtown Great crowd,
32:08
Great time. Why are you holding your head. I was there till
32:12
almost midnight last night. Then the alarm went off at four, So yeah,
32:20
it makes for some long night, especially when you're your age. Oh,
32:24
all the elements of humor we were down there, except for the funny
32:28
part. We were down there last night, of course at borrow one on
32:30
one, and we're there the first and third thursdays of every month bar one
32:35
on one, hanging out with the folks down there, and I got to
32:37
make an appearance down there last night myself. I got out of there way
32:39
before you did, though, yes, because I'm old and my couch is
32:44
calling. So I was out of there by about eight or eight thirty,
32:45
so you knew that nearby. I was like, I was like, I'm
32:49
gone, I need to I'm out. I'm survived, Thanks for coming out.
32:52
And we had our man Rob Real from our sister station ninety six one
32:58
KWS was there. Shockley for the Mountain was there, and somehow the president
33:02
of the company, the main guy, the guy that's over all of this
33:06
WVRC media, walked in. I thought for sure he was coming into fire
33:08
us all. That's exactly what I thought was gonna happen. But George hung
33:12
out with us last night and had had a delicious dinner. So we appreciate
33:15
George being I'm just like I'm like you. I just I get nervous when
33:20
the executive has come around because I'm I'm thinking, Okay, that's it,
33:22
We're done. I was walking over with a tray of shots. I thought
33:25
that might be a bad itea all right, So Johnny Mack too, our
33:30
engineer. Johnny Mack was there, our esteemed engineer before we move in.
33:35
And there's a reason why I have you on the show today before we get
33:37
into that. Uh, it is the birthday of one of our own.
33:40
Actually it's we're one day away from the birthday of one of our own up
33:44
their myths, Carrie. Who a second, it's celebrating a birthday tomorrow,
33:50
I think. And she should come out tonight. Carlo green Well. I
33:53
actually talked to her a little bit earlier and I asked her if she was
33:57
going to be going home to New Jersey and she said, uh, she
34:00
family that was going to be coming in hanging out with her this weekend.
34:01
So I don't know. She's busy in the newsroom. But miss Carrie,
34:05
if you're listening right now, you and the family have an invitation to come
34:08
out to the reason I have mister Animal on today to talk about and this
34:12
is this big thing going on in St Albans. So you have officially been
34:15
invited. Carrie who to second Happy early birthdays? You want to say happy
34:17
birthday to her, we can have I'm not saying happy birthday. Sorry,
34:22
all right, We're done, Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Carrie. All
34:24
right? So what's going on in St Albans? And I'm mister Saint Albans.
34:28
Tonight, Main Street, Saint Albans, seven o'clock, Be there,
34:30
be there, be there. It's Crawlo Green, which means it's our Saint
34:35
Patti's Day pub crawl party. Proceeds going to benefit the Alban restoration project.
34:40
The old facade of the theater needs some help and work, and so does
34:45
the inside. So we're doing everything we can with the pub crawls to get
34:50
that thing back up to speed. There'll be games tonight, costume contest,
34:52
door prizes, our very own DJ act right, we'll be there. I'm
34:57
sister station to Beat. Yep, he'll be there, jeb I got to
35:00
thank him from Intoxic Taxi and Link. They will be standing by for anyone
35:05
who might need their assistance tonight. So it's very important that if you come
35:08
out get an event like this that you either have a designated driver or you
35:14
take advantage of the service that they have there. Absolutely and anyone who will
35:17
help anyone who needs it. So all the restaurants are participating, including Shuckers,
35:22
Cosimel, the Cafe, Cole River Coffee, the Tap and drummis So
35:28
all sorts of drink specials. Proceeds, like I said, go to benefit
35:30
the Alvin restoration project. Twenty five bucks gets you a T shirt and a
35:35
cup and some drink specials at all the establishments. So for people that have
35:38
never been to one of these pub Carls and I understand all the Jennifer exactly.
35:43
How does the thing work? You just come up, show up.
35:46
You can actually go online to the Facebook page if you want to go to
35:51
give butter dot com. I think Forward Slash Carlo Green twenty four You can
35:57
get your tickets there or just show up with credit card or cash and at
36:02
the registration table right in front of the Alven and you get a T shirt.
36:07
Like you said, it's mainly a fundraiser and a good time to come
36:09
out and drink. Like I said, just in case the weather gets a
36:14
little crazy, which I don't think it's supposed to. I was looking ahead
36:16
at the weather and I think that it looks like we're gonna have some rain
36:21
overnight, but hopefully see possibly a passing shower at six. But otherwise that
36:27
was and less than two tenths of an inch of rain, so it's nothing
36:31
so but it's kind of cool. The DJ on the street, there's other
36:36
games and stuff going on, and it's just basically a party in the street.
36:39
It is. And the way that that that area Old Main and the
36:43
whole area there is set up, it's just really designed for that because you're
36:45
kind of away from the main thoroughfare there out on sixty and you just basically
36:51
close down the streets. And they do that several times a year in Saint
36:53
albums for various events, and so it's say, if you don't have to
36:57
worry about traffic and things of that nature, everybody just comes and has a
37:00
good time. Nope, we have a police there to redirect traffic, so
37:04
everybody has a great time. And even get a text from my buddy Mike
37:07
Wendell. He got four tickets this morning, so he'll be on the street
37:13
too, so you should join me. Yeah, absolutely, and the DJ
37:15
act right as you said from our sister station, the Beaty is going to
37:19
be there pumping out all the tumbes. Busy night for those guys, because
37:22
Woody is going to be over at the West Virginia Grinds first home game tonight,
37:27
And so if you're heading out for that, I mean, I know
37:30
the way these things work. I mean, you start at what time tonight?
37:31
The post starts at seven and goes to eleven, but they, you
37:35
know, the bars and restaurants are still going to be open all night.
37:37
So the Grinds game is at seven, it'll be over in a couple hours.
37:40
If you go out to see the grind tonight or the State turn whatever
37:44
did you do and you still got time? Yes, absolutely, because I
37:46
know the way these things work, especially if a certain announcer whose initials are
37:52
Essay are involved. It ain't going to end at eleven. It's going to
37:54
go like, well, well beyond that much later. But yeah, it's
38:00
And if you haven't been to Saint Albans, a lot of good stuff going
38:01
on between the pub crawl forthcoming. We also have on some of the different
38:07
notes. We have dog Ball coming up, part of the chili cookoff thing
38:15
we do for the fundraiser for the police department we do every year with fall
38:17
y'all, so that's coming. We have Yakfest coming up this summer. We
38:22
have Tour de Coal coming, so lots of good things happening. I refer
38:25
to you in the intro as and again we're talking with Steve Annible from nine
38:30
eight seven A Mountain Wild, wonderful classic GROC. I prefer to use mister
38:31
Saint Albans, but you are all things Saint Albans man. I mean you've
38:36
you know, how many of you actually lived in Saint Albans thirty four years
38:40
I guess. So you were working at the other station over there, and
38:44
you settled in that area and you just never laughed man. I mean you're
38:47
kind of a fixture in that community. Yes, I have been. Let's
38:51
see, we're on the rotary the chamber. Also Police Civil Service Commissioner.
38:55
We do all sorts of suff Sorry that you tell me that you're on the
39:00
that you're the police Civil Service Commissioner. I have to laugh a little bit.
39:02
So if you're looking to have a career as a police officer. We
39:06
are doing some hiring coming up too, so yes, yeah, So if
39:09
you're tired of being arrested by them and do you want to become one,
39:14
I'll show you the path. But what is it about Saint Albans? I
39:17
mean that you like so? Well, here's here's your chance to give them
39:21
a little little love. Mister Chamber of Commerce with Saint Albans. What do
39:23
you so much about Saint Albans. So when they moved me here, you
39:27
know, me and my little U haul trucking down. They put me up
39:29
at the Ramatta and said go find a place. It's like okay. Well
39:32
six weeks later they were very annoyed. I still had not found a place,
39:37
but man room service was awesome. I was like, I can't get
39:40
this an apartment. But I actually looked all over the valley, went went
39:45
to rand went to the valley, hit cross lanes and uh it just trying.
39:52
I liked Saint Albans just it was off the beaten path. You didn't
39:54
have the traffic flying through it. You're if you're coming to St Albans,
39:59
you're going there for a reason either you live there, or there's something going
40:02
on, you're just not passing. You just don't have the through traffic like
40:06
a lot of other cities. So and there is always something going on in
40:09
St. Albans, I mean, yeah, I mean it's it's amazing to
40:13
me that there's always some sort of activity. Talk about this Alban Theater.
40:16
I know Adam Brian very well is very good friend of mine, and this
40:20
whole thing that you're doing, as far as the proceeds from this thing that
40:22
Gouda benefit the restoration projects of the Alban Theater. Talk about that well,
40:27
a lot of city projects through the years, they just weren't funded, they
40:30
weren't kept up. The money wasn't there, the foresight wasn't there, it
40:36
wasn't used for a while. Then you know, thank god the city actually
40:39
hired Adam to do the theater project and it's just evolved and now we have
40:44
the Alban Academy across the street from the high school. We've actually done some
40:50
donations and fundraisers for kids to actually go to the academy to get into acting.
40:55
Gives them something to do other than not doing anything or just you know,
41:00
left to their own demise, you know, playing on their phone,
41:04
get them off the devices for a little bit. Well, absolutely, because
41:06
a lot of kids need the social interaction. Their social skills are horrible.
41:10
They don't interact. They don't look at you, you know, they talk
41:14
to their feet and it's like hey, hey up here, look eyes up,
41:16
eyes up. So they don't have that. But programs like this give
41:22
kids the ability to interact with each other, have fun, do something that's
41:25
you know, crazy, and you know, maybe there'll be another radio personality
41:30
of all out of it. I wouldn't wish this sickness on anyone. I'm
41:37
actually kid, I'm actually kidding about that with me. I'm crying, all
41:39
right. So how are things going at the Mountain. The mountain is awesome.
41:43
We are having a lot of fun, which is a lot of people
41:45
are finding us. They're still discovering that the station is there. At ninety
41:50
eight point seven. A lot of people still think, oh I thought it
41:52
was still to beat. No, we moved Woody up the dial to one
41:55
oh seven to three, and a lot of people don't know he's there.
41:58
So tele a friend and tell two friends like our Facebook page. I mean
42:04
a couple of weeks ago, Leo Browning we were nice enough to stumble across
42:07
him and his Hooters ride. That was man, it's still going on.
42:12
Yesterday the Washington Post, I guess slow news Day put the Hooters thing in
42:15
there. So this thing is I talked about it just kind of evolved and
42:20
it was just kind of kind of tongue in cheek. You or I did
42:22
not know Leo or the other gentleman. We do drew it. Oh yeah,
42:27
we know him now. And he had started his candlelight vigil and we
42:30
said, hey, you know, because I do some work on the mountain
42:34
as well, so I'd love to come out. So we go out there
42:36
and and all these news crews show up, and I mean it was awesome.
42:40
There was people from like West Virginia, Wesleyan University came down in a
42:44
van, which I'm sure their parents are very thrilled about. Three buses the
42:46
baseball team from wesley and thank you dudes. Rock and as Animal said,
42:52
yeah, and you were on Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, they picked up the
42:57
video feed of me crying. I'm gonna actually I'm gonna see if I can
43:00
follow up. I know this week he's actually been working on the oscars coming
43:05
up but next week I'm going to see if I can get flown out there
43:07
so I can finish my cry in his chest. If you want to see
43:10
that, by the way, you can go to the Mountain Facebook page and
43:13
it's pinned to the top there. Animals appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. But yeah,
43:15
it was, and again, as Animals said to, Washington Post actually
43:20
ran a story on it, which, by the way, I'm going to
43:22
go ahead and say this, and I'll let you go because I know you
43:22
good stuff to do. I will say this about this. If you go
43:27
to the Washington Post story on the whole Hooters thing and you read the comments,
43:30
it's very, very insulting to West Virginia. Look, if you didn't
43:35
like Hooters the restaurant, or you didn't like the whole concept, that's fine.
43:37
The number of people that took the opportunity to insult West Virginia that I
43:42
know, damn well has never even been in West Virginia really really angry.
43:46
And I don't get offended by stuff like that, but stuff like that does
43:50
bother me. It's like, Oh, this is higher education of West what
43:52
do you expect. It's West Virginia and it's like the keyboard. Look,
43:57
Brook, have you ever been to West Virginia? You know what the hell
43:59
you're talking about? The keyboard cowards. I call them pound away on the
44:04
keyboards. But well, I'll let that go now. And upset me and
44:07
upset me, and did upset me again? If you don't like it,
44:10
just if everybody takes every opportunity to trash West Virginia, you know, and
44:15
it just it just bothers me. A lot of people who've never even they've
44:19
never seen the New River, they've never seen all Seneca Rocks, they've never
44:22
been to Snowshoe, they've never seen all these other great things we have in
44:25
West Virginia. You just know what you read or what you think is true,
44:30
and you just run with it. It just bothers me, man.
44:32
And most great grandmothers or grandmothers or mothers will tell you if you don't have
44:37
anything nice to say, don't see it. You know, looking at you.
44:42
The chicks from msn or from MSNBC earlier this week at gen Jinsaki and
44:47
Rachel Maddow and Joy read we're looking straight at you when we say that we're
44:52
watching it. We're on our way, and let's just load up the truck
44:53
and get Anthony, get the keys. We're gonna go kick some butt,
44:58
all right, all right, so let's talk about pub Crawl wrapping up.
45:00

45:04
come out early. Bars and restaurants will of course be open. It's the
45:07

45:15

45:45

45:51

I heard yesterday when I said Hoppy was at the Capitol for the final time.
49:21
Yesterday I forgot mister Kirschwell was sticking around for coverage of the state girls
49:23
basketball term. But the goat is back at the Capital this morning. Regular
49:29
session ends at midnight tomorrow night, A though it looks like they may be
49:31
sticking around to at least Sunday. Hoppy and Jared Halpern from Fox News Radio,
49:37
we'll review President Biden State of the Union from last night Chris Stiwaltz on
49:40
the show when Chris Steine released Hoppy ten O six from the Capitol. It
49:45
is day five of the state girls basketball tournament at Kytle CM in Convention Center,
49:50
and of course we'll have we actually have coverage going on as we speak
49:52
on Charleston's ESPN Radio one of six point seven FM and fourteen ninety eight M
49:59
all right two. The State of the Union last night. I watched the
50:02
whole thing, and if you did not, let me summarize the reaction of
50:06
the American public. If you're a Republican, it was the worst speech ever,
50:12
a total embarrassment. If you're a Democrat, it was the best speech
50:16
ever. What an awesome job, and that's why we are where we are.
50:21
I do find it funny, though that my Republican brethren are making fun
50:24
of the Biden's speech and the delivery, which, trust me, I watched
50:29
the whole thing, there was plenty to make fun of. But have you
50:32
seen Trump speak lately? For that matter, have you seen Trump walk lately?
50:38
And please don't come at me with this pathetic old man stuff if you
50:43
support Trump, because he is about as pathetic and sad as the other one.
50:46
Sorry, that's just me talking. You don't have to weigh in on
50:50
that because I know your politics. Free Animal. So it's Friday. Drink
