Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, welcome to the show.

Speaker 3: Hey, fay for having me. Sorry can't be there in person.
2:58
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, buddy, you're planning a party for about you know,
3:01
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand of your closest friends. I mean it's
3:04
Speaker 2: completely understandable, you know that.
3:05
Speaker 3: Right, that's right?
3:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, So let's talk about it. Starts if I'm
3:10
Speaker 2: correct on this, The West Banco Family Fund Center will
3:14
Speaker 2: start at noon Thursday at City Center at Slight Plaza.
3:17
Speaker 2: Tell us what's going on with this? Tell us all
3:19
Speaker 2: about it.
3:20
Speaker 3: So the Family Fund Center is back again with Regatta
3:22
Speaker 3: this year. Each year we keep building on the Family
3:25
Speaker 3: Fund Zone, making it more immersive for our families and
3:29
Speaker 3: our community, and trying to bring more art into it
3:32
Speaker 3: as well. We continue to add a new artists and
3:36
Speaker 3: local artists to really elevate the events and make it
3:40
Speaker 3: fun for everybody.
3:41
Speaker 2: When you say that you're talking about adding more art, well,
3:44
Speaker 2: what exactly have you had in the paston what are
3:46
Speaker 2: you hoping to add this year?
3:47
Speaker 3: Yeah? So my normal, normal job at all, not normal
3:51
Speaker 3: at all. My worst job with the city is the
3:54
Speaker 3: Public Art Office. And what we try to do is
3:57
Speaker 3: include public art in all things that we do. And
4:00
Speaker 3: so it's kind of incorporated that in the Family Fund Zone.
4:02
Speaker 3: We're going to have public art puppets. When I say puppets,
4:05
Speaker 3: I mean street puppets, very large ten twelve feet foot
4:09
Speaker 3: tall puppets there at the event. We're bringing in a
4:14
Speaker 3: Fluidity performance troupe. They're from all over, some of which
4:17
Speaker 3: are from West Virginia. They do air lists, they do
4:20
Speaker 3: still walkers, they have some new things, some some frizes
4:23
Speaker 3: this year that they're going to bring back and we're
4:26
Speaker 3: kind of doing more with them. And then we're featuring
4:29
Speaker 3: local artists. We're going to have live paintings by local
4:32
Speaker 3: artists west Erie, Abby Mazel, and then Rob Cleaton will
4:36
Speaker 3: be there with caricatures. And on Sunday we're going to
4:39
Speaker 3: have a new community art project with Beckley artist Robbie Moore,
4:44
Speaker 3: who just had an amazing show at Taylor Books and
4:46
Speaker 3: we're kind of building off of that. And he does
4:48
Speaker 3: a lot of work with fabric and paintings. So who's
4:51
Speaker 3: gonna work with kids to create this piece that will
4:54
Speaker 3: kind of come to life on that Sunday afternoon there
4:57
Speaker 3: the Family Fund Zone.
4:59
Speaker 2: So in addition, yeah, no, go ahead, no, you could
5:01
Speaker 2: change you go ahead.
5:03
Speaker 3: Well, in addition the art, we have our regular players
5:06
Speaker 3: that always bring great joy to the Family Fund Zone,
5:09
Speaker 3: like the Inflatables Professor Bubblemaker early back, Joey's Stepp will
5:13
Speaker 3: be there. Lisa also will be there with Face Paying.
5:16
Speaker 3: We have something for everybody, truly, And I want.
5:19
Speaker 2: To talk about the importance of the community art in
5:21
Speaker 2: this because you said there's a special emphasis on that.
5:24
Speaker 2: Go into that a little bit more and why that's
5:25
Speaker 2: so important to Regatta so.
5:28
Speaker 3: Well to me. When I was growing up, Regatta was
5:31
Speaker 3: held so many memories that we all know now is
5:34
Speaker 3: our nostalgic part of for Good, and we want to
5:36
Speaker 3: bring both of those things to the community when I
5:38
Speaker 3: have nostalgia, but we also want to incorporate new things
5:41
Speaker 3: and new ideas and new memories for this generation. So
5:45
Speaker 3: one of the things that makes it really easy to
5:47
Speaker 3: incorporate the community and engage the community is public art.
5:51
Speaker 3: And so with community public art, as we've done a
5:54
Speaker 3: bunch of times in the past, as we will have
5:56
Speaker 3: commune members community members participate in a painting process or
6:01
Speaker 3: an exercise with drawing, and that then becomes part of
6:05
Speaker 3: a permit or temporary piece of public art. And so
6:08
Speaker 3: that kind of hits that core idea of embracing art
6:13
Speaker 3: and having a community piece that you can go back
6:16
Speaker 3: and see as a child and see as you grow
6:19
Speaker 3: up here in Charleston's to see your work be part
6:22
Speaker 3: of a larger piece.
6:23
Speaker 2: Tytler, you know. And Jeff Pearson about some of the
6:26
Speaker 2: activities going on with Regatta as part of the West
6:28
Speaker 2: Banco Family Fund Center, which a Family Fund Zone which
6:30
Speaker 2: is at City Center at Slack Plaza. To Dave Allan
6:33
Speaker 2: show on five Aniline brought you inmparted by the all
6:35
Speaker 2: New Generations for a hurricane visit Generations for dot Com
6:39
Speaker 2: And going back to those puppets, did you say, like
6:41
Speaker 2: twelve to fourteen fifteen feet puppets. That's not exactly the
6:44
Speaker 2: kind you put on your hand man.
6:46
Speaker 3: No, No, we kind of do things. We overdo things
6:49
Speaker 3: a bit in the Public Art Office. So we have
6:52
Speaker 3: a few puppets that we get out for parades. We
6:56
Speaker 3: will have two of our puppets out Saturday afternoon for
6:58
Speaker 3: the funeral parade at one o'clock. And then we've built
7:01
Speaker 3: some smaller puppets. They're now the ones we're going to
7:03
Speaker 3: have roaming around will be a little bit smaller, but
7:06
Speaker 3: we have who's becomes quite famous now of our puppet Petunia,
7:11
Speaker 3: who is about about a ten twelve foot pink furry
7:14
Speaker 3: puppet that's operated by about two or three people. As
7:18
Speaker 3: long as it doesn't rain, because she's thirteen yards of fur,
7:22
Speaker 3: so as long as it doesn't rain, Petunia will be
7:24
Speaker 3: out in a couple others. We've made some new ones
7:26
Speaker 3: just for Regatta this year and it did so much fun.
7:28
Speaker 3: And one thing I love about the puppets is that
7:31
Speaker 3: they're they're they're really simple, not simple to make, but
7:34
Speaker 3: we we use simple materials to make these things. And
7:37
Speaker 3: we have some summer interns this year with through the
7:40
Speaker 3: Mayor's Youth Summer Youth Program, and it's been amazing being
7:44
Speaker 3: able to teach them some techniques and things to make
7:46
Speaker 3: those things well.
7:48
Speaker 2: And the thing that we want to make sure everybody
7:49
Speaker 2: understands with so many of these activities, and we're going
7:52
Speaker 2: to be talking every day about activities related to the Regatta,
7:55
Speaker 2: is that so many of these things, Jeff, are absolutely
7:58
Speaker 2: free of charge. And we know that the economy, you know,
8:01
Speaker 2: it's not the best right now, and people tell them
8:03
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm going to make it political, but you know,
8:05
Speaker 2: we hear that term affordability and so on and so forth.
8:07
Speaker 2: There are so many things going on with the regarded
8:10
Speaker 2: that families can come to. They can take it and
8:12
Speaker 2: ain't gonna cost them.
8:13
Speaker 3: Nothing, and that's absolutely right. I think. For me again,
8:16
Speaker 3: it's it's about the kids and having something for them
8:20
Speaker 3: to do, to build these memories and to come down
8:23
Speaker 3: and like I said, we're going to have some surprises.
8:25
Speaker 3: They're going to show up on Saturday and Friday, and
8:27
Speaker 3: saturday's way and Sunday see and Thursday, but all the
8:29
Speaker 3: days actually so but it's and it's also really important
8:33
Speaker 3: too that we do have We will have water, we
8:36
Speaker 3: will have a missing station, we will have the sprinklers
8:40
Speaker 3: on to keep our kiddos cool and hydrated because it
8:43
Speaker 3: is going to be super hot, and we will have
8:45
Speaker 3: some shade and we it's speaking of young people. On Saturday,
8:48
Speaker 3: Friday and Saturday, we also have our Young Young Entrepreneurs
8:51
Speaker 3: market where young people are bringing their things to UH
8:54
Speaker 3: to sell. So we will have some things for self,
8:56
Speaker 3: but those are kind of really again helping the kids
8:58
Speaker 3: become young entrepreneur is instelled what the work that they've
9:01
Speaker 3: done and artwork and all kinds of days they have
9:03
Speaker 3: to bring for that.

12:53
Speaker 5: Good? I'm Dave's promotional guy.
12:55
Speaker 2: Did that one turn out? Okay? I mean is that
12:57
Speaker 2: gonna make a good eight by ten glossy?
12:59
Speaker 5: Well, the thing the camera didn't break, so you're.
13:01
Speaker 2: Good, Okay. The finger that I put up was not
13:04
Speaker 2: the one in the middle. I don't know what exactly
13:07
Speaker 2: I was doing there, all right? So is there any truth, Stephen,
13:10
Speaker 2: that you have been reserving to your place in line
13:13
Speaker 2: to be the first to ride the Morrissey ferris wheel.
13:16
Speaker 5: I certainly want to ride to John Adams gondola. I
13:18
Speaker 5: don't know if they let you pick. Here's the thing
13:21
Speaker 5: I've heard about this, because of course it's as it
13:23
Speaker 5: has been talked about incessantly. It is the largest portable
13:27
Speaker 5: ferris wheel in the country. It's very similar to the
13:30
Speaker 5: one that's in Washington, d C. For the Great America
13:33
Speaker 5: State Fair going on there, and I've read a few
13:35
Speaker 5: accounts of that one, which it's an enjoyable experience have
13:38
Speaker 5: been told. But because it is so big and you
13:41
Speaker 5: can get so many people within one gondola and multiple gondolas,
13:46
Speaker 5: you'll be on the ferris wheel longer than you will
13:49
Speaker 5: have been in line to wait to get on the
13:51
Speaker 5: ferris wheel. Because it takes a little time to go around.
13:54
Speaker 5: You got to get everyone on each gondola, so it
13:56
Speaker 5: will it will take a little bit of time. So
13:59
Speaker 5: if you're afraid of heights, well you might not like
14:03
Speaker 5: this one because you're going to be on it for
14:04
Speaker 5: a while and it's pretty tall. They just got I
14:06
Speaker 5: think the full wheel is now complete now, so all
14:09
Speaker 5: I do I think is probably put the gondolas on it.
14:12
Speaker 2: I mean it's pretty much to scale, about as big
14:14
Speaker 2: as the capital, right, I mean, it will be in
14:17
Speaker 2: the neighborhood.
14:18
Speaker 5: It's got to be. I don't know if it's taller
14:20
Speaker 5: than the top of the dome, but it's pretty close.
14:26
Speaker 5: It is immense. I walked down there yesterday and took
14:30
Speaker 5: a look at it. Actually bumped into Governor more See Whi.
14:32
Speaker 5: I was down there and talked to him about it,
14:34
Speaker 5: and he definitely just wants to keep getting the word
14:38
Speaker 5: out about it. He certainly wants people to come and
14:41
Speaker 5: enjoy it and have an experience.
14:42
Speaker 2: So well, and you know, we were tall. We had
14:45
Speaker 2: a little bit of fun last week at the top
14:47
Speaker 2: of the show, myself and Amanda and Jeff Jenkins and
14:50
Speaker 2: TJ talking about the different presidents that are all because
14:53
Speaker 2: all the presidents are are represented, and we were just
14:57
Speaker 2: thinking about how much fun that it would be to
15:00
Speaker 2: have someone from completely differing political thought processes backgrounds to
15:08
Speaker 2: get on like I want to see I want to
15:10
Speaker 2: see Mike Pushkin get on the Donald Trump. Sure, I
15:14
Speaker 2: want to see Patrick Morrison get on the Barack Obama.
15:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, I mean, like who
15:21
Speaker 5: gets to go on I guess who's going to fight
15:23
Speaker 5: to get on on Lincoln or or you know, for
15:28
Speaker 5: the guy to create our state really, you know, with
15:30
Speaker 5: a stroke of a pen in his nightgown.
15:32
Speaker 2: That's uh, Like I want to go for the more
15:35
Speaker 2: obscure presidents. Give me the Benjamin of Benjeon hit what
15:40
Speaker 2: Benjamin Harrison?
15:41
Speaker 1: Yeah?
15:41
Speaker 2: And I was thinking of William Henry Harrison also, who
15:44
Speaker 2: was the shortest termed president forty eight days if I remember.
15:47
Speaker 5: Had had a bad cold uh and uh and diet
15:50
Speaker 5: from that. I believe John Adams for me, Like I said,
15:52
Speaker 5: John Adams, I wish I was related to him. I
15:56
Speaker 5: think I've had some family to do some genealogy tests
15:58
Speaker 5: where not as far as I.
16:00
Speaker 2: You're more likely you're like me, Steven, You're more likely
16:02
Speaker 2: to be related to Sam Adams than you are John.
16:04
Speaker 5: He's my favorite President. I mean, I've read I read
16:06
Speaker 5: the book, The Big Book, I've watched in any series.
16:09
Speaker 5: I mean, I am the him and I have the
16:12
Speaker 5: same attitudes for sure.
16:14
Speaker 2: I mean ask you, I mean, what do you make
16:16
Speaker 2: of all this? I mean, I know America only turns
16:20
Speaker 2: two fifty one time, and I'm old enough. You're probably not.
16:23
Speaker 2: But I am old enough to remember the bi centennial
16:24
Speaker 2: and what a big deal that was. But bringing in
16:27
Speaker 2: this type of event which has been years in the
16:30
Speaker 2: making in planning, Okay, that's that's what they say, And
16:32
Speaker 2: I have no reason to think otherwise. I know that
16:35
Speaker 2: what's going on in Washington has been planning for a
16:37
Speaker 2: number of years, or at least the wheels were in motion.
16:40
Speaker 2: But having this at the same time as the regatta,
16:43
Speaker 2: I mean, is that is that a little a little much?
16:46
Speaker 2: I mean within a mile of each other. I mean,
16:48
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Bobby Brown on one end, Alabama on the
16:51
Speaker 2: other end, you know, and I'm just thinking, do you
16:53
Speaker 2: think it's a little much.
16:54
Speaker 5: I think here's what I think will happen. I think
16:59
Speaker 5: people will go between both events. I think people will
17:01
Speaker 5: come down to the Capitol, and I think for America's
17:03
Speaker 5: two fifty whether they were doing a big thing or
17:06
Speaker 5: just having a few small things. People would come down
17:08
Speaker 5: anyway because it's a good time to check out history
17:11
Speaker 5: and that sort of thing, and that should be encouraged.
17:13
Speaker 5: And the fact that they're doing a shuttle between both
17:14
Speaker 5: I think is helpful. I think people will come down
17:16
Speaker 5: here to ride the ferris wheel, walk around. Maybe it'll
17:19
Speaker 5: come on an evening. Here's the thing, there's so many
17:23
Speaker 5: events that Regatta, so many musical acts. You can go
17:26
Speaker 5: see the one you want to see, and maybe on
17:27
Speaker 5: the night where there's maybe not someone you want to see,
17:29
Speaker 5: then you can come down here for a time in
17:31
Speaker 5: check out the light show. But you can go between both.
17:33
Speaker 5: But I think more people are going to spend time
17:35
Speaker 5: at Regatta as a whole than they are going to
17:38
Speaker 5: be spending time at the Capitol City Bash. But they
17:40
Speaker 5: will come down. I think they'll check out some of
17:43
Speaker 5: the things. But I do think while I know they
17:46
Speaker 5: said they're working together, I do think it's a little
17:51
Speaker 5: problematic and I do think it takes away from events
17:54
Speaker 5: that they could have done a small event at the
17:56
Speaker 5: Capitol well, they could have also used that opportunity to
17:58
Speaker 5: do some small events on the state such as Wheeling,
18:01
Speaker 5: but has the dialect and.
18:03
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things going on.
18:04
Speaker 5: They are but on their own accord. Like the communities
18:07
Speaker 5: in those areas are doing a lot of things. The
18:09
Speaker 5: state's not really doing anything. You know, the governor is
18:11
Speaker 5: going to go move around and check out. But but yeah,
18:14
Speaker 5: the state itself really is kind of focused on this
18:17
Speaker 5: capital event, which really only started to get formulated since
18:21
Speaker 5: about April. I mean, it's been short, this part of
18:23
Speaker 5: it has been short.
18:25
Speaker 2: That is the and maybe I'm totally wrong, is the
18:28
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist in me thinking that, Well, I mean, we
18:32
Speaker 2: have a conservative Republican governor, we have by our own admission,
18:36
Speaker 2: a more liberal leaning mayor in the office, and that's
18:40
Speaker 2: by her. That's not the disparaging remark, it's it's the fact.
18:44
Speaker 2: Do you do you think that that that plays into
18:47
Speaker 2: what the governor is wanting to do this at all?
18:49
Speaker 2: Or maybe not?
18:50
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe not not so much specifically with Mayor Amy.
18:55
Speaker 5: I don't think. I do think that the governor, and
18:58
Speaker 5: I've seen this the last early two years, he likes
19:01
Speaker 5: the counter program because he's so perceived as an outsider.
19:05
Speaker 5: Instead of trying to kind of get away from that,
19:07
Speaker 5: he kind of leans into it some. And I do
19:09
Speaker 5: think he likes to do his own events, whether it's
19:13
Speaker 5: like having his own event after stay the state instead
19:16
Speaker 5: of participating in the big thing that always happens at
19:19
Speaker 5: the Barriott or or now this, I mean, I think
19:23
Speaker 5: he likes the counter program and do his own thing.
19:26
Speaker 5: He had his own inauguration parade, which, by the way,
19:28
Speaker 5: no offense to the governor. I don't mean this is
19:31
Speaker 5: disparnginan but nobody went to it, you know, for the
19:34
Speaker 5: inauguration parade he did. Nobody came out for that, but
19:37
Speaker 5: he decided to have one because he won an inauguration parade.
19:39
Speaker 5: I think he wanted to have a big event at
19:40
Speaker 5: the Capitol and we'll see if it gets the crowd.
19:43
Speaker 5: See he hopes it does. And but I mean there
19:46
Speaker 5: are going to be some fun things there.
19:48
Speaker 2: Well, and we do want to we can't. We can't
19:50
Speaker 2: stretch this enough to make Brian Hughes happy. Is the
19:53
Speaker 2: fact that he's going to be extremely hot. I mean,
19:56
Speaker 2: I mean no matter even if you go in the evening,
19:59
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking about heat indices well over one hundred.
20:02
Speaker 2: Actual temperature is going to be near one hundred and
20:03
Speaker 2: some of these events towards the end of the week.
20:05
Speaker 2: So hydrate please make plans cording. And we have a
20:07
Speaker 2: tax that says I'd like to see the receipts for
20:10
Speaker 2: how much the celebration is costing the West Virginia taxpayer.
20:12
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question, and some of us are
20:14
Speaker 5: trying to get that now. I know that they have
20:15
Speaker 5: budgeted two million dollars. That's coming out of the civil
20:18
Speaker 5: Governor's Civil Contingency Fund. Which explain what that is, Well,
20:22
Speaker 5: it is kind of hard to explain what it is
20:24
Speaker 5: because it's just a broad fund that the governor has
20:27
Speaker 5: a lot of times disaster recovery money comes out of that.
20:30
Speaker 5: If they need to like spend some money really quickly.
20:33
Speaker 2: Right now, like sergency.
20:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, like Logan County floods and that sort of thing.
20:37
Speaker 5: They can take money out of that real quick but
20:39
Speaker 5: it can be used for other things, so it can
20:41
Speaker 5: be used for this, and I do think this is
20:43
Speaker 5: an appropriate expenditure, trying to celebrate Americas through fifty. The
20:47
Speaker 5: question is, like you said, how much this costs? And
20:50
Speaker 5: I do think we need to know that. You know,
20:51
Speaker 5: how much is this the Farris will going to cost
20:53
Speaker 5: someone apparently thinks it costs two million. It doesn't guarantee
20:57
Speaker 5: it less than that. What about Alabama, We had to
20:59
Speaker 5: get them at the last minute from what I understand.
21:02
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something.
21:03
Speaker 5: They can go for between three hundred and five hundred thousands.
21:05
Speaker 2: For somebody who knows a little bit about the promotions business,
21:07
Speaker 2: because they've done a lot of concerts. In my fact,
21:08
Speaker 2: number one Alabama you can say what you want to about,
21:11
Speaker 2: and they haven't had a quote unquote hit record in years.
21:13
Speaker 2: Those guys still are huge, I mean still are huge,
21:17
Speaker 2: and they ain't cheap. They over fifty number one hits. Yeah,
21:21
Speaker 2: and they ain't cheap because especially when you say, hey,
21:24
Speaker 2: what are you guys doing? You know, such and such
21:26
Speaker 2: a day we want to bring you in. There's a
21:28
Speaker 2: little bit more. I mean I can tell you from
21:30
Speaker 2: working with Landau and different people. You know, you pay
21:32
Speaker 2: more for New Year's Eve, Fourth of July and holidays
21:36
Speaker 2: and what you do? You pay more for an event
21:37
Speaker 2: on the weekend as opposed to a Monday night. So
21:41
Speaker 2: it's there's a lot of money that's been spent on
21:44
Speaker 2: this thing. And look at America New turns two fifty one.
21:46
Speaker 5: And here's the thing. I'm a believer in the idea
21:48
Speaker 5: that government can walk in chew gum. At the same time,
21:50
Speaker 5: I know people were talking about, well, we had to
21:52
Speaker 5: do budget cuts, you know, two percent budge of cuts
21:54
Speaker 5: for agencies, or we talk about this tan of structural
21:57
Speaker 5: deficit of guy, now it's here back in May. You know,
22:00
Speaker 5: there's there are needs for two million dollars, but the
22:04
Speaker 5: state does have the money to address those needs. We'll
22:07
Speaker 5: see how the governor decides to do that and how
22:09
Speaker 5: the legislature decides to do that moving forward. But they've
22:12
Speaker 5: got the ability to do that, and they have the
22:14
Speaker 5: ability to pay for this to celebrate a pretty important
22:18
Speaker 5: milestone in a nation's history. Two fifty since the decoration
22:22
Speaker 5: of independence. That's a big deal.
22:23
Speaker 2: Well, somebody pointed out on one of the social media
22:25
Speaker 2: sites that I saw. One of the comments was, you know,
22:28
Speaker 2: are you going to tell me that things didn't go
22:30
Speaker 2: on during the depression. I mean that there were still celebrations.
22:33
Speaker 5: And we built a capital in the Great Depression and
22:36
Speaker 5: guilded it with gold. So yeah, I mean, sometimes you
22:41
Speaker 5: do have to spend a little bit of money, you know,
22:44
Speaker 5: the bread and circuses. I mean that's used disparagingly sometimes,
22:48
Speaker 5: but sometimes it's okay to celebrate things.
22:51
Speaker 2: Texas. Have you guys seen the West Virginia Tent at
22:53
Speaker 2: America's State Fair on the National Mall. One of the
22:56
Speaker 2: most popular booths there because they have a driving stimulator
22:59
Speaker 2: when you drive down West Virginia roads but have to
23:01
Speaker 2: sing along to country roads as you drive. People love it.
23:04
Speaker 2: We had Chelsea Ruby live from there a couple of
23:06
Speaker 2: week week or so ago on midday.
23:08
Speaker 5: Every photo I've seen or video I've seen have come
23:10
Speaker 5: from our booth there. It's crowded, like people are crowded,
23:14
Speaker 5: and we have interactive events there. We got the Swing,
23:18
Speaker 5: the Almost Heaven Swing. We got some cool things there.
23:22
Speaker 5: Chelsea Ruby in the departments words into the bang up
23:24
Speaker 5: job on that tent, and it's been crowded every time
23:26
Speaker 5: I've seen.
23:27
Speaker 2: It, Texas. There's a video on YouTube of the outside
23:30
Speaker 2: and inside of the America two fifty wheel that's the
23:32
Speaker 2: official name that is being assembled at the West Virginia
23:35
Speaker 2: State Capitol, taken by someone at the Florida State Fair.
23:38
Speaker 2: Check that out. It's taller since a texture than the
23:40
Speaker 2: sky wheel at Myrtle beach and has a fourteen mile
23:43
Speaker 2: viewing range.
23:46
Speaker 5: Well, of course, the problem is with a fourteen mile
23:48
Speaker 5: viewing range, it's kind of hard to see fourteen miles
23:50
Speaker 5: when you know you got a big hill on this
23:52
Speaker 5: side of the river and then you got a big
23:54
Speaker 5: hill on this side river. But you will, I think,
23:56
Speaker 5: get some pretty cool views of the dome that you
23:58
Speaker 5: wouldn't normally see you happened to'll be walking up there.
24:01
Speaker 5: You'll certainly I think, be able to see all the
24:03
Speaker 5: way down probably to regatta, if not past regatta. You'll
24:06
Speaker 5: see some cool things, I think.
24:07
Speaker 2: Tex says, going back to the President's Calvin Coolidge very
24:09
Speaker 2: underrated president.
24:11
Speaker 5: Well, he was silent cal He made sure not to
24:14
Speaker 5: talk and really kind of kept He just stayed the business,
24:19
Speaker 5: the government, this business that was his big saying. So
24:22
Speaker 5: he was silent col There's the reason you don't hear
24:24
Speaker 5: much about him.
24:25
Speaker 2: Tex says. Alabama was huge when they were here for
24:27
Speaker 2: the regatta years ago, and the boulevard in front of
24:29
Speaker 2: the capital was crowded when Ronnie Millsap was here from
24:32
Speaker 2: the CESCAS centennial. So don't you think this concert is
24:35
Speaker 2: going to be even more crowded for Alabama. I think
24:38
Speaker 2: you know again when you have and hats off to
24:43
Speaker 2: the Regatta folks for being able to secure Bobby Brown
24:46
Speaker 2: Whine own them, Melissa Ethridge, lead of Ford, all of
24:50
Speaker 2: the people that are coming in, I'm sure I left
24:52
Speaker 2: one out. Actually I did leave a few out. But
24:54
Speaker 2: but but yeah, there's gonna be some crowds in Charleston.
24:57
Speaker 2: I mean regard for both events and people do them both.
25:00
Speaker 5: If you want to see bow Wow, that's great, go
25:01
Speaker 5: see bow Wow and see those acts. They're going to
25:03
Speaker 5: be there that night. If you want to go see Alabama,
25:06
Speaker 5: see Alabama, I'm going to see Alabama. I grew up
25:08
Speaker 5: with that era of country music. I'm a big fan
25:10
Speaker 5: of uh uh loving the first degree. I'm a big
25:14
Speaker 5: fan of oh I keep some wanting to say me
25:17
Speaker 5: in the middle. That's not while. There are songs the
25:19
Speaker 5: one I'm thinking, I'm gonna hurry to get things done.
25:21
Speaker 5: That's one of my favorite songs.
25:22
Speaker 2: I'm a my Home their first single, My Homes in
25:26
Speaker 2: Alabama was was my favorite song. Nice little jam there
25:29
Speaker 2: at the end too. Texas, so the governor's using emergency
25:31
Speaker 2: money to find fund an unnecessary party during tornado and
25:35
Speaker 2: flood season, So it's about right for the GOP.
25:37
Speaker 5: It's not emergency money. It is money that is called
25:41
Speaker 5: a contingency fund that he has that he can use
25:44
Speaker 5: his discretion. It is not emergency money. He can criticize
25:47
Speaker 5: the use of the money. That's fair, but it's not
25:50
Speaker 5: money met for like a disasters. It can be.
25:55
Speaker 2: Did you see the post from the Western Indian Troopers Associations.
25:57
Speaker 5: Oh, I did see that, and that's kind of why
25:59
Speaker 5: I was talking about that a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
26:01
Speaker 5: So the Troopers Association was obviously upset again because certain
26:05
Speaker 5: state departments in nations, it's not all of them had
26:08
Speaker 5: to cut their budgets by two percent for the budget
26:11
Speaker 5: bill that we'll go into effect actually here in two days,
26:15
Speaker 5: for fiscal year twenty twenty seven. So they were pretty upset. Okay,
26:19
Speaker 5: we're cutting the Troopers Association the trooper budget by to
26:24
Speaker 5: you know, two percent, but then we're turning around spending
26:28
Speaker 5: two million dollars on this event, so they make it
26:31
Speaker 5: make sense. Was their whole big thing on that, and
26:33
Speaker 5: you know, you can't blame them for that.
26:35
Speaker 2: And uh, over the weekend, I don't know whether you
26:37
Speaker 2: saw this or not, but the governor was in my
26:39
Speaker 2: hometown of Logan. Yes, handed out two and a half
26:41
Speaker 2: million dollars the city of Logan for revitalization of a
26:45
Speaker 2: older department store there. Now they're not going to put
26:47
Speaker 2: another department store in there but for this hub. And
26:50
Speaker 2: if you're familiar with it, it's the old Watson's building
26:52
Speaker 2: on Stratton Street, big three, three level store, and people
26:56
Speaker 2: tried to do some different things with it. Apparently they're
26:58
Speaker 2: not going to turn it into another it's gonna be
27:00
Speaker 2: the the Kroger of South Charleston. Okay. What they're planning
27:03
Speaker 2: on doing with it is making it more for economic development.
27:06
Speaker 2: Try to get kind of similar to the way I
27:09
Speaker 2: see it. Maybe what Huntington did with with under Brad
27:13
Speaker 2: Smith and all the things downtown at the RCB Center
27:15
Speaker 2: and things like that.
27:16
Speaker 5: Maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's a band of
27:18
Speaker 5: Mindland's money. I think the governor did that with and
27:20
Speaker 5: I know he was in Clintenon too, and I think
27:22
Speaker 5: gave away some some money there. So again, the government,
27:26
Speaker 5: the government can do two things at the same time.
27:29
Speaker 2: Did you happen to see the first lady's comments She
27:32
Speaker 2: was going back forth with some people on social media.
27:34
Speaker 5: No, I did not see that, but she's not afraid
27:37
Speaker 5: the scrap of people on social media. I wouldn't do
27:41
Speaker 5: it if I were her. I mean, I you know,
27:42
Speaker 5: most first ladies usually try to build up a positive
27:44
Speaker 5: image of themselves. I don't know that I would get into.
27:49
Speaker 5: I certainly don't, even as a reporter messed with social
27:52
Speaker 5: media comments. You can comment on anything you want of mine.
27:54
Speaker 5: I usually ignore it. But if that's how she chooses
27:58
Speaker 5: spends her spending her time.
27:59
Speaker 2: Ov Tex says, what I meant by that text was
28:02
Speaker 2: the people. There's gonna be enough room in front of
28:04
Speaker 2: the Capitol for a crowd the size of Alabama draws,
28:07
Speaker 2: and that people be on top of each other in
28:09
Speaker 2: this heat.
28:10
Speaker 5: It's a good question actually with that one. Yeah, because
28:13
Speaker 5: it's all going to be on the on the south side,
28:16
Speaker 5: steps by the river side and that sort of thing.
28:18
Speaker 5: Uh So that is actually a good question. That's not
28:21
Speaker 5: a lot of space if you are expecting, let's say,
28:26
Speaker 5: over nineteen eighties for data style crowd to come see Alabama.
28:28
Speaker 5: So I don't know. I guess we will share see
28:30
Speaker 5: how that works.
28:31
Speaker 2: We don't want to slight The symphony is also going
28:33
Speaker 2: to be there on the never night and on another night,
28:34
Speaker 2: and so it's a martballs. I want to throw them
28:36
Speaker 2: in there as well. Texas bread and circuses. The government
28:39
Speaker 2: cut out the bread and it's only doing the circuses.
28:41
Speaker 2: We get the country we deserve.
28:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, if that is something you
28:45
Speaker 5: care about. There are some elections coming up. I hear
28:48
Speaker 5: here in November. You can do something about it and
28:51
Speaker 5: send a message.
28:51
Speaker 2: Texays. Give me James K.
28:53
Speaker 9: Polk.
28:53
Speaker 2: He accomplished everything in one term and had the shortest
28:55
Speaker 2: retirement in presidential history.
28:58
Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember he's not the one that started
29:00
Speaker 5: the Mexican War, right.
29:01
Speaker 2: I'm big on the presidential history of the people that
29:05

33:42
Speaker 2: big event and these big events, all right, lod Regatta
33:45
Speaker 2: and the America two fifty take it all right.
33:47
Speaker 6: I learned this from Larry Growth Okay, who I think
33:50
Speaker 6: knows what are he's doing. Yeah, these two events will
33:55
Speaker 6: compliment each other. They are there. It's good they're having
33:58
Speaker 6: both of them. I think the mayor has demonstrated, whatever
34:02
Speaker 6: you think about her, she's demonstrated her prowess at putting
34:08
Speaker 6: together an event. You know, her event seemed to go
34:11
Speaker 6: pretty well. I agree, And with this event down here,
34:18
Speaker 6: I think it just be better for the city. I
34:23
Speaker 6: get two events.
34:24
Speaker 2: I agree that. My only question and concern, and please
34:27
Speaker 2: do not take this as a shot at any of
34:30
Speaker 2: the city officials or city workers or anything like that.
34:33
Speaker 2: I just worry about the amount of people that are
34:35
Speaker 2: going to be here in the heat, whether we are
34:38
Speaker 2: fully prepared for it. And again, that's not something that
34:41
Speaker 2: the mayor can necessarily or the governor for that matter,
34:44
Speaker 2: can actually prepare for. I just I just hope that
34:47
Speaker 2: we got enough bodies to go around, if that makes
34:50
Speaker 2: any sense, because this is going to be a really
34:52
Speaker 2: really it's a strain anyway you regot it. But I'm
34:55
Speaker 2: hoping it works out. Okay, go ahead.
34:57
Speaker 6: You weren't here in nineteen eighty three when we had
34:59
Speaker 6: some Miami seal machine.
35:02
Speaker 2: Now I don't think it was eighty three, not miami'sal machine,
35:04
Speaker 2: because they didn't come out to eighty six.
35:07
Speaker 6: Well, whenever they ever was, whenever they were here, What
35:10
Speaker 6: was that like? I was not here A hundred thousand,
35:13
Speaker 6: A hundred thousand, easy. I mean, it's just you couldn't
35:17
Speaker 6: couldn't move. It's just ridiculous. Okay, what were you doing
35:20
Speaker 6: at that time? Were you sheriff at that time? I
35:22
Speaker 6: would have been sheriff.
35:23
Speaker 2: Okay, so did the city Mike was Mike Roork was mayor.
35:27
Speaker 2: So did the city have to call in? I mean,
35:29
Speaker 2: I'm sure they did. Oh, they didn't have to have
35:31
Speaker 2: backup from the sheriff's department.
35:33
Speaker 6: No, everything was fine, Okay, everything went well. Okay, I
35:37
Speaker 6: think they may have had about one hundred fights.
35:39
Speaker 2: But well, look, you get a bunch of people in
35:43
Speaker 2: a spot, it's going to happen. You know that's going
35:45
Speaker 2: to happen.
35:46
Speaker 4: You know.
35:47
Speaker 2: I can't when when it's hot.
35:49
Speaker 6: I can't believe we're getting ready to do our two
35:53
Speaker 6: hundred and fiftieth anniversary because I remember the two hundredth.
35:57
Speaker 2: Like it was yesterday, as do I. I was a kid,
35:59
Speaker 2: but I remember it.
36:00
Speaker 6: I was in Washington, D C. And if you ever
36:05
Speaker 6: watched Godfather Too, you can see the hotel Hotel Washington
36:10
Speaker 6: where he was staying, and they show a glint that's
36:12
Speaker 6: where I was.
36:13
Speaker 2: Now, why were you there? You told us this last week,
36:15
Speaker 2: But why were you there? Okay, that's enough, Well I
36:19
Speaker 2: will leave it.
36:20
Speaker 6: I had on I had company with me, and and
36:25
Speaker 6: there was a block and half down the Willard was closed.
36:29
Speaker 6: The Willard took up a whole half a block and
36:31
Speaker 6: was nothing but dirt and dust, and it wasn't it
36:35
Speaker 6: hadn't been remodeled yet. But right past that was Basin's
36:39
Speaker 6: Sidewalk Cafe, which later burned, and myself and my my
36:48
Speaker 6: friend girlfriend, we stayed there from one o'clock in the
36:52
Speaker 6: afternoon to one o'clock in the morning, and I'm glad
36:57
Speaker 6: we didn't have too far Awa wash.
36:58
Speaker 2: That's always a good thing. Danny Jones is here today
37:01
Speaker 2: Island Show on five Any Line, broad toed part by
37:03
Speaker 2: Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. If you
37:06
Speaker 2: were going to choose because part of this thing with
37:11
Speaker 2: the America two fifty and the ferris Wheel and everything
37:13
Speaker 2: at the Capitol is that there's one named after every president. Now,
37:17
Speaker 2: the view is going to be the same whether you're
37:18
Speaker 2: on Polk Obama or Washington. I completely understand that. But
37:22
Speaker 2: if you were going to choose one based on the
37:25
Speaker 2: historical relevance to ride on, which would it be? What president?
37:30
Speaker 4: Oh?
37:32
Speaker 6: Nixon?
37:33
Speaker 2: You're a Nixon guy?
37:34
Speaker 6: I am, yeah, there, I am.
37:37
Speaker 2: Did you speaking of Nixon? Have you heard any of
37:39
Speaker 2: the comments from JD Vance recently about Nixon? Because forever.
37:43
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan was the be all and all of the
37:47
Speaker 2: Republican Party. They talk about Reagan Republicans and so on
37:50
Speaker 2: and so forth, and this was the person everybody was
37:53
Speaker 2: supposed to look up to, was Reagan. Vance is coming
37:58
Speaker 2: out now, and look, there's nothing wrong with it, because
38:01
Speaker 2: a lot of people have said, other than Watergate and Vietnam,
38:05
Speaker 2: and those are two big others, that Nixon had some
38:08
Speaker 2: good policies.
38:10
Speaker 6: If it hadn't been for that June twenty third tape,
38:14
Speaker 6: he would have survived. And Vietnam, he inherited that war
38:18
Speaker 6: and he ended it. So I don't know what the
38:21
Speaker 6: problem is with that.
38:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, I mean some would say maybe he should
38:25
Speaker 2: have ended it earlier.
38:28
Speaker 6: Well, if if it hadn't been for Watergate, South Vietnam
38:33
Speaker 6: would be free today because the Democrats took over Congress
38:38
Speaker 6: and they cut the money off.
38:41
Speaker 2: Going back to the concert, Texas, the largest concert in
38:43
Speaker 2: the history of the stern worldhre Gotta took place in
38:45
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six, estimated two hundred thousand people on the
38:49
Speaker 2: boulevard to see the Beach Boys. Miami Sala machine was
38:52
Speaker 2: eighty seven. According to a text, Okay, we'll go either way.
38:56
Speaker 2: Big crowds, and there's going to be some big crowds
38:59
Speaker 2: at Brigatta in this event.
39:00
Speaker 6: Alabama, they've changed personnel, right.
39:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the original four were Mark Herndon, Randy Owen,
39:10
Speaker 2: Jeff Cook, and Teddy Gentry. Jeff Cook's not Jeff Cook
39:13
Speaker 2: is is passed. Mark Herndon is no longer there, so
39:16
Speaker 2: the only two as best I and I'd have to
39:19
Speaker 2: defer to Rob Real on this, but I think that
39:21
Speaker 2: the only two remaining members are Randy Owen uh and
39:24
Speaker 2: and Teddy Gentry.
39:25
Speaker 6: I threw Jeff Cook out, Teddy Gentry?
39:27
Speaker 2: Is that right? That's Gentry's the last time?
39:30
Speaker 6: Pretty sure? I threw Jeff Cook out of my night
39:31
Speaker 6: to your restaurant.

44:27
Speaker 2: four nine three five five zero zero A. Danny Jones
44:30
Speaker 2: is here. I gave you a task. I said, I
44:32
Speaker 2: want you to the nicest well known person you ever
44:36
Speaker 2: met and the worst.
44:38
Speaker 6: Okay. I'm going to divide it up between the two
44:40
Speaker 6: nicest because one was a politician, okay, and that was
44:44
Speaker 6: Barack Obama okay. And the second, well the as far
44:48
Speaker 6: as entertainers was Wayne Newton.
44:52
Speaker 2: Nice guy.
44:54
Speaker 6: Couldn't beat him. Yeah, it makes you feel like you're
44:57
Speaker 6: the only And the Neville Brothers they were they were,
45:00
Speaker 6: and Booker T and the MG's and Burker T had
45:04
Speaker 6: his his guitar player, both his league guitar player, Steve Cropper,
45:09
Speaker 6: probably one of the best guitar players in the world.
45:12
Speaker 6: He's in his eighties now.
45:13
Speaker 2: Donald Duck Donald Duck Dunn, he died not long ago,
45:17
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, but he and this was the band,
45:20
Speaker 2: by the way, that was probably featured in the movie
45:22
Speaker 2: The Blues Brothers.
45:23
Speaker 6: Right and Stephen Cropper. I was talking to Booker Jones
45:27
Speaker 6: and Steve Cropper came out and put his elbow on
45:29
Speaker 6: my shoulder. I mean, it's just nice to can be
45:32
Speaker 6: there's your nicest. Okay, now, as far as people that
45:38
Speaker 6: were unfriendly, and the reason this text me off is
45:44
Speaker 6: because I helped pay to bring the guy here with
45:48
Speaker 6: George Benson.
45:49
Speaker 2: Really and he just passed not long ago, I think,
45:52
Speaker 2: did he?
45:53
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure you and the OJ's weren't at all friendly.
45:58
Speaker 6: Gladys Knight wouldn't meet us. Trying to think, but.
46:04
Speaker 2: Let me just let me just add this in there though.
46:07
Speaker 2: And you got to understand this because everybody, if you
46:09
Speaker 2: go on social media or whatever, people there's these lists
46:11
Speaker 2: that pop up, who is the nicest rock star, athlete whatever.
46:16
Speaker 2: We only see these people one time, and you don't
46:19
Speaker 2: know what I mean, just like us. I mean, somebody
46:21
Speaker 2: could run into you and you're not in a particular
46:23
Speaker 2: mood to talk, and they may said, man, that guy's
46:25
Speaker 2: an ass.
46:25
Speaker 6: You know I have a girlfriend, but then you know
46:28
Speaker 6: a married girlfriend lives in South Carolina and she was.
46:33
Speaker 2: Should change that Danny to say a friend of mine,
46:35
Speaker 2: not a married girlfriend. Well, never mind, go ahead.
46:39
Speaker 6: She's a really good friend, okay. And she said she
46:42
Speaker 6: was riding up in first class and Bill O'Reilly was
46:45
Speaker 6: up there and he was completely nasty and he was
46:49
Speaker 6: abusive to the stewardesses and everybody really yeah, said there
46:53
Speaker 6: wasn't anything nice about him. So some people need to
47:00
Speaker 6: get attention that way, I guess.
47:02
Speaker 2: Well, and I can tell you as somebody you know,
47:04
Speaker 2: I always throw out Landau because Landau and I have
47:07
Speaker 2: been friends literally since we were kids. Uh and uh.
47:11
Speaker 2: People will come up to him frequently. And I know
47:14
Speaker 2: I'm not putting Landau on the same stage as you know,
47:16
Speaker 2: some of these other folks you're talking about, But people
47:19
Speaker 2: will come up to Landau in Kroger and say, hey,
47:21
Speaker 2: sing me a song, and then they get their phone
47:25
Speaker 2: out and they want to record it. Well, the problem
47:28
Speaker 2: with that is is number one, my cousin used to
47:32
Speaker 2: own a garage. People wouldn't come up to him and go, hey,
47:34
Speaker 2: change my oil, okay. And the fact that everybody records
47:38
Speaker 2: everything and you get somebody singing a little off key impromptu,
47:43
Speaker 2: then what happens is is it gets put up on
47:45
Speaker 2: YouTube and oh.
47:46
Speaker 6: Here's the here's the I can't believe anybody would even
47:49
Speaker 6: do that.
47:49
Speaker 2: Oh are you kidding?
47:51
Speaker 6: I can't.
47:51
Speaker 2: Here's the you know, And I'll say I'm not I'll
47:54
Speaker 2: take land out of it. I'll say, here's a Grammy
47:55
Speaker 2: Award winner, and listen how they sound without auto tune.
47:59
Speaker 2: Listen to how they because you just literally come up
48:00
Speaker 2: and put a camera in their face and said sing.
48:03
Speaker 1: You know.
48:03
Speaker 2: That's that's the only That's the only thing I would
48:07
Speaker 2: say about that.
48:08
Speaker 6: And when I go to public places, especially Pigly Wiggly,
48:15
Speaker 6: or go to any of these restaurants around here, I'm
48:20
Speaker 6: still called mayor still treated not like I was then,

Speaker 6: but I'm still treated very kind and kindly, and I
48:31
Speaker 6: love it. I always did like it.
48:33
Speaker 2: I'm going to say something. It's a bold statement, and
48:36
Speaker 2: this is not me sucking up to you because you
48:38
Speaker 2: don't have a restaurant to give me free food anymore.
48:40
Speaker 2: But I will say, you're probably one of the one
48:44
Speaker 2: or two, maybe three most famous Tarlestonians ever. You're on
