Speaker 5: Rob, how's it gone so far?
3:33
Speaker 6: We are flirting with eight hundred pairs so far, we're
3:36
Speaker 6: off to a great start. I want to give a
3:39
Speaker 6: specific shout out to Green Valley Church of God. She
3:42
Speaker 6: showed up with three hundred pairs just on her own
3:45
Speaker 6: in the middy, eight hundred pairs. Apparently they heard what
3:49
Speaker 6: we had planned and they started collecting as a congregation
3:53
Speaker 6: in a community and friends and such, and showed up
3:56
Speaker 6: with three hundred pair this morning.
3:57
Speaker 2: So we're off to a great start.
4:00
Speaker 6: But as you know, in West Virginia, it's going to
4:01
Speaker 6: be a long winter, so it's going to be a
4:03
Speaker 6: long day for us until six pm. Whether it's a
4:06
Speaker 6: pair or a package, a bag, a box, a bin
4:09
Speaker 6: full of socks, whatever your budget and your heart will allow.
4:14
Speaker 6: You know, maybe you team up at work and you
4:16
Speaker 6: take a collection and you can bring us cash or
4:18
Speaker 6: check donation for union mission. Absolutely, that would work great.
4:21
Speaker 6: I know you all got great bulk buying power with that.
4:24
Speaker 6: If you know, if you want to swing through the
4:25
Speaker 6: store and buy a bunch with that collection, that works too.
4:30
Speaker 6: But come see us eleven eleven Virginia Street East before
4:33
Speaker 6: six o'clock to see.
4:34
Speaker 4: And of course everybody's going to be out and about buying,
4:36
Speaker 4: as Rob calls it to Jason, their French toast kits,
4:39
Speaker 4: you know, the eggs, the milk and the bread.
4:41
Speaker 7: Yes.
4:42
Speaker 4: Actually I was getting text to the show, to the
4:44
Speaker 4: midday show yesterday. There was one person that text the
4:46
Speaker 4: show and he said, just want to let you know
4:48
Speaker 4: my girlfriend works at Walmart. And I don't know what
4:50
Speaker 4: city they were calling front or texting from, but yeah,
4:53
Speaker 4: it was a madhouse there yesterday.
4:55
Speaker 5: And it's only going to and I only.
4:56
Speaker 4: Say that to say chances are preparing for snow again
5:00
Speaker 4: this weekend. People are going to be out and about
5:02
Speaker 4: any way. So if you get done with your fist
5:05
Speaker 4: fights over you know, the forty eight loaves of bread
5:07
Speaker 4: that you think that you needed your local Kroger store,
5:09
Speaker 4: swing on odor over to the Big Lots or the
5:11
Speaker 4: Dollar Tree or the Dollar Store, whatever, whatever your favorite
5:14
Speaker 4: story is, to pick up some socks.
5:15
Speaker 8: Absolutely, we got many guys that are shelter that could
5:18
Speaker 8: use them. We will share them all over with folks
5:22
Speaker 8: and other shelters. And it's a great opportunity to help
5:27
Speaker 8: your folks in need.
5:28
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things I wanted because people,
5:30
Speaker 4: you know, we've given us a lot of coverage on
5:32
Speaker 4: our network show in the afternoon as well, and people
5:34
Speaker 4: have said, well, you know that's a that's a Charleston thing,
5:37
Speaker 4: and that's all well and good, But you guys work
5:40
Speaker 4: with a lot that we saw it during the flood recovery.
5:43
Speaker 5: I mean, we don't stop at borders, absolutely not.
5:46
Speaker 8: We just like our Thanksgiving and Christmas, we we handled
5:50
Speaker 8: fifteen different counties around us with food. Anywhere from seventy
5:53
Speaker 8: to eighty thousand pounds of food goes out of our warehouse.
5:56
Speaker 8: A month, and no, it's it's we do a lot
5:59
Speaker 8: in Kanau Valley, but we also do a lot in
6:00
Speaker 8: West Virginia.
6:01
Speaker 2: Union Mission.
6:02
Speaker 6: It's it's kind of a two layer organization. They're doing
6:04
Speaker 6: all of those local things and then also working as
6:08
Speaker 6: a clearing house when you think of when you think
6:11
Speaker 6: of organizations like the United Way that connect people with
6:14
Speaker 6: all sorts of different services. That's a lot of what
6:17
Speaker 6: Union is Mission. Union Mission is doing region wide and statewide.
6:21
Speaker 6: So even if you're in Bluefield or Bridgeports, you are
6:26
Speaker 6: still going to be helping folks in your area when
6:28
Speaker 6: you help with Union Mission and help with.
6:30
Speaker 2: Drop your socks.
6:31
Speaker 4: To and Jason talk about the need for the socks,
6:34
Speaker 4: and Rob has talked about it, but let's talk about
6:37
Speaker 4: why socks.
6:38
Speaker 8: Well, I mean just a just a simple need. We
6:41
Speaker 8: don't really think about it much. We get up in
6:43
Speaker 8: the morning, we jump in the shower, we get out,
6:45
Speaker 8: and we put socks on and get dressed and come
6:47
Speaker 8: to work.
6:48
Speaker 5: But and sometimes pants well that's optional.
6:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, check your local listings.
6:52
Speaker 8: Yes, but yeah, I mean, we don't think much about it,
6:55
Speaker 8: but there are people out there that they are in
6:57
Speaker 8: genuine need for socks. They're in genuine need for just
7:02
Speaker 8: basic items in life, and that's definitely a big part
7:05
Speaker 8: of it, and we want to be a part of that.
7:07
Speaker 8: And we take our hats off salute you guys for
7:10
Speaker 8: having a burden for people that are in need for
7:13
Speaker 8: those things.
7:13
Speaker 5: So shout out to you guys.
7:15
Speaker 8: Thank you so much for doing this, and it gives
7:17
Speaker 8: us an opportunity to help folks in need.
7:19
Speaker 4: And we had rob before we even started this thing
7:22
Speaker 4: at seven o'clock. We had people throughout the week stopping by, Yes,
7:25
Speaker 4: our office is here and saying, you know, I can't
7:27
Speaker 4: make it on Thursday. They've reached out to us on
7:30
Speaker 4: social media saying, hey, I'm going to can I drop
7:32
Speaker 4: When we first started talking about this a month ago,
7:35
Speaker 4: immediately people said, well, I don't know if I'm to
7:37
Speaker 4: be able to make it that day, or maybe they
7:38
Speaker 4: didn't know what the weather was going to be and
7:40
Speaker 4: they just dropped off bags of socks.
7:43
Speaker 6: I think our early morning steak was one hundred and
7:45
Speaker 6: fifty when we got rolled in this morning.
7:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we opened to.
7:49
Speaker 6: The parking lot eleven eleven Virginia Street East closest Cross Street,
7:52
Speaker 6: Lee on Sullivan, we had one hundred and fifty to
7:56
Speaker 6: get going this morning. So folks were on board from
8:00
Speaker 6: the very very beginning, and so it's not unbearably cold
8:05
Speaker 6: this morning, but that wind is really cutting through you,
8:07
Speaker 6: and it's it's a reminder for me that when my
8:10
Speaker 6: feet get cold, other parts of my body, particularly my brain,
8:13
Speaker 6: starts shutting down. I lose fifty IQ points if my
8:16
Speaker 6: feet are cold, and I can't afford.
8:18
Speaker 5: To lose people in radio can't afford to lose that.
8:20
Speaker 6: You know, at this point, I'm a talking monkey, so
8:24
Speaker 6: and I'm somebody who can I can come in here
8:26
Speaker 6: to the studio at a space heater right by my desk,
8:28
Speaker 6: I can heat myself back up. I live a couple
8:30
Speaker 6: of blocks away. I can go home, change clothes, put
8:32
Speaker 6: on more clothes. There are so many folks who don't
8:35
Speaker 6: have that wherewithal it's not it is but not only
8:39
Speaker 6: the displaced persons that you see around town. It is
8:42
Speaker 6: also maybe that family who left a domestic violent situation
8:46
Speaker 6: in the middle of the night with literally nothing but
8:48
Speaker 6: the clothes.
8:48
Speaker 2: On their back.
8:49
Speaker 6: Maybe it's somebody who is living out of his or
8:51
Speaker 6: her vehicle that is technically a displaced person, but not
8:54
Speaker 6: somebody you're seeing on the street. Maybe it's somebody who's CouchSurfing.
8:58
Speaker 6: There are so many folks. I think the number in
9:01
Speaker 6: West Virginia is one out of three folks are right
9:05
Speaker 6: around the poverty line or worse, and about half of
9:08
Speaker 6: those are living in deep poverty. So it is is
9:11
Speaker 6: such a little thing we can be doing to make
9:15
Speaker 6: the lives better, one tiny need we can fulfill to
9:18
Speaker 6: maybe help that person get the next step.
9:20
Speaker 8: And please don't think, well, you've got eight hundred pair,
9:23
Speaker 8: you're doing great, you don't need me.
9:25
Speaker 5: That's not true.
9:26
Speaker 9: Me.
9:27
Speaker 5: Certainly, we're gonna be doing this till six o'clock this evening.
9:30
Speaker 5: Please come by. Eight hundreds not enough, we can use
9:33
Speaker 5: two thousand.
9:33
Speaker 4: Right, how many, roughly, Rob, do you remember how many
9:36
Speaker 4: we did last year? I'm just a rough estimate.
9:38
Speaker 6: I remember we were kind of keeping track in terms
9:40
Speaker 6: of like fifty five gallon barrels the first year, and
9:43
Speaker 6: we did almost four of those. And then last year
9:47
Speaker 6: you've got kind of that big watermelon box in the
9:49
Speaker 6: back of the truck that kind of fills up the truck.
9:51
Speaker 6: We filled the truck what two or three times last year.
9:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thinking it was twenty two hundred, twenty one
9:56
Speaker 5: twenty something like that, and we're already off to a
9:58
Speaker 5: good start.
9:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm saying my early morning goal is to have
10:03
Speaker 6: have you have to run the truck back before lunch
10:06
Speaker 6: to unload and fill it again.
10:08
Speaker 2: So I love your goals.
10:11
Speaker 6: I would love to do that before before the barbecue,

Speaker 4: comes to barbecue or any restaurant.
18:40
Speaker 5: Their sides are as good as the meats.
18:42
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and because to me quality barbecue restaurants, I
18:46
Speaker 4: judge you on the sides as well. The meats are
18:48
Speaker 4: always good, and that's what I like, but I like
18:49
Speaker 4: the side and their side dishes are incredible.
18:51
Speaker 10: Well, as I was a vegetarian for a while, and
18:54
Speaker 10: so you know, I got this. The barbecue restaurants were
18:57
Speaker 10: only sides for me for a long time.
18:58
Speaker 2: So I have a good appreciation too.
19:00
Speaker 4: So you were a vegetarian for a while, yeah, well
19:02
Speaker 4: it's pescatarian, so you know, okay, what's a pest fish
19:06
Speaker 4: and nothing?
19:07
Speaker 2: No other meat?
19:07
Speaker 4: Okay, because there's various and this is not why there's
19:11
Speaker 4: various things. I mean you have people that are you know,
19:14
Speaker 4: don't use animal products at all, and no eggs, no cheese, no, no, nothing,
19:19
Speaker 4: they're a communist.
19:20
Speaker 2: I'm kidding.
19:21
Speaker 1: Uh.
19:21
Speaker 4: And then there's those that just don't eat red meat,
19:24
Speaker 4: and this shows that don't eat meat, meat the vegetables.
19:26
Speaker 2: So you were pescatarian, I was, I was.
19:28
Speaker 10: Yeah, but at the church it's next door to that
19:30
Speaker 10: straight yeah, yeah, pescatarian Presbyteria.
19:33
Speaker 11: Yeah.
19:33
Speaker 4: Okay, I got it, I got it, I got it.
19:35
Speaker 4: So all right, so you're running for reelection? Are you
19:37
Speaker 4: running for relation? I should ask? I am, and some
19:40
Speaker 4: anno make.
19:41
Speaker 5: The official statement.
19:43
Speaker 2: Now, guys upstairs, hit record, Emmitt Pepper.
19:48
Speaker 10: I'm running for the at large city councils, one of
19:51
Speaker 10: six at large city council seats.
19:53
Speaker 5: All right, So and how many terms have you, sir?
19:55
Speaker 2: One? Uh? One and change? Okay, so this will be
19:58
Speaker 2: your second the full term. I get second, full, third,
20:01
Speaker 2: you know, third term. You know I came in under
20:03
Speaker 2: you know, sad circumstances. I was an appointed after John Kennedy, Billy.
20:06
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, yeah, and what a great what a great
20:08
Speaker 4: gentleman he was absolutely and was a great loss for
20:10
Speaker 4: the Charleston area. And you're in an at large seat, so
20:13
Speaker 4: that means you get to hear from everybody, right.
20:14
Speaker 2: That's right.
20:15
Speaker 4: And I mean, to be fair, all members of city
20:18
Speaker 4: councils still here from everybody, no matter what what you
20:21
Speaker 4: can contact to, you know, whether it's your reward or not.
20:24
Speaker 2: Right, that's that. I think that that definitely happens. Yeah, yeah,
20:27
Speaker 2: for sure.
20:27
Speaker 10: But I think the at large, you know, there's sometimes
20:29
Speaker 10: we get copied on everything, okay, Yeah, So I mean
20:32
Speaker 10: this is an opportunity for us, you know, to keep
20:34
Speaker 10: the momentum going that we've that we've had and that
20:36
Speaker 10: I've been working on for the last few seventh.
20:38
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk about that momentum, yeah, in the
20:40
Speaker 4: city of Charleston right now, because over the last couple
20:42
Speaker 4: of years, I mean, there have been a lot of
20:44
Speaker 4: great things have come. There's been business openings. The restaurants
20:48
Speaker 4: that have come here are you know, unbelievable, and of
20:49
Speaker 4: course the return of Regatta and things of that nature.
20:52
Speaker 4: And there's always something going on in Charleston, especially as
20:56
Speaker 4: we get to the warm weather months. I mean, there's
20:58
Speaker 4: always a fun at the Dome, or there's always something
21:02
Speaker 4: going on in the West End, or there's something going on,
21:04
Speaker 4: and there's always something going on in Charleston.
21:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I think that that is.
21:10
Speaker 10: I mean, so we you know, the goal I think
21:12
Speaker 10: is to make this a place where you know, the
21:13
Speaker 10: sit in the population which our state, our city has
21:16
Speaker 10: been losing population for our entire lifetimes, you know, and
21:19
Speaker 10: so we really need to reverse that trend. My friend
21:22
Speaker 10: Jennifer Farre also at Large, you know, she says we
21:24
Speaker 10: want to have add ten thousand and twenty thousand people.
21:27
Speaker 10: I'd be happy with flat you know stuff, just not
21:29
Speaker 10: to lose that's right. The way that we're going to
21:32
Speaker 10: do that is, you know, a few thinks that one
21:34
Speaker 10: is going to be jobs. People live in a place
21:35
Speaker 10: because they have a job. People live in a place
21:37
Speaker 10: because they have connections, family, friends, that kind of thing,
21:41
Speaker 10: and they live in a place because they like it.
21:43
Speaker 10: And so you know, so having you know, we can't
21:46
Speaker 10: mean we have to. We can do everything we can
21:48
Speaker 10: to help make it so that job creators folks can
21:51
Speaker 10: can make it work here.
21:53
Speaker 2: But we can't.
21:53
Speaker 10: You know, we can't create the jobs ourselves through government,
21:56
Speaker 10: but we can make it easier for folks to survive.
21:59
Speaker 10: We can make it so that there are more of
22:01
Speaker 10: those third spaces and make which which also plays into
22:04
Speaker 10: you know, both having the connections, having uh, friends and
22:07
Speaker 10: family and also making it a place you want to live.
22:10
Speaker 5: What was it? Now, are you a native Charlestonian?
22:13
Speaker 2: I yes, I was born and raised here.
22:15
Speaker 5: Okay, all right? But what made you stay? Because here's
22:17
Speaker 5: the here's the problem.
22:18
Speaker 4: And when we talk about this a lot with various guests,
22:21
Speaker 4: we have a real problem in West Virginia with getting
22:23
Speaker 4: people to want to stay here, especially people that go
22:28
Speaker 4: away to college, which you did, you know, of course,
22:31
Speaker 4: but want to come back here. What was it about
22:33
Speaker 4: Charleston that made Emmitt Pepper and family decide we want
22:38
Speaker 4: to be here.
22:38
Speaker 7: Yeah?
22:39
Speaker 10: Well, I mean I moved away actually, so I'm you know,
22:40
Speaker 10: one of the people. I moved away for quite some time.
22:42
Speaker 10: I lived in the Northeast for about nine years, and
22:47
Speaker 10: in between undergrad and law school, I was in DC
22:49
Speaker 10: for law school.
22:50
Speaker 2: So and then I moved back.
22:51
Speaker 10: I mean, and you know, frankly, I mean the things
22:53
Speaker 10: that move made me want to move back here were
22:56
Speaker 10: family and my still have family in the area and
22:58
Speaker 10: uh and I got a job here.
23:00
Speaker 13: Uh.
23:00
Speaker 10: And so you know, those are the things that that
23:02
Speaker 10: that brought me back here. And I think that's what
23:04
Speaker 10: brings people to a place, is that they have a connection,
23:07
Speaker 10: and so you know, all the all the folks who
23:09
Speaker 10: have moved away want to make it easier for them
23:10
Speaker 10: to get back. But we also want to be attracting
23:13
Speaker 10: people who don't necessarily have a connection to Here's a
23:15
Speaker 10: lot of some of my favorite West Virginias are the
23:17
Speaker 10: ones who have just moved here and they, uh, they
23:19
Speaker 10: like it. And you know, from what I've heard, the
23:22
Speaker 10: folks who have been visiting our city, uh, they just
23:24
Speaker 10: have a great time here and they enjoy it.
23:27
Speaker 2: But they just need to know that it's here.
23:28
Speaker 5: What can we do to uh?
23:30
Speaker 4: And and again we have we have great folks from
23:33
Speaker 4: like the CVB and and and Charleston Urban Works of course,
23:36
Speaker 4: with the with the Mayor's office and others and the
23:39
Speaker 4: County Commission. So many people work together to try to
23:42
Speaker 4: advertise uh, the city of Charleston, Kanawa County and and
23:46
Speaker 4: all the West Virginia to the rest of the world.
23:48
Speaker 5: What do we need to do more of?
23:49
Speaker 10: In your opinion, yeah, I mean I think it is
23:51
Speaker 10: just more of the same, you know, so we we
23:53
Speaker 10: have been well, not more of the same for the
23:55
Speaker 10: long term, but I do I do think there are
23:57
Speaker 10: some things that we that I have personally working on
23:59
Speaker 10: and this administration's been working on that. I think we
24:01
Speaker 10: need to do more of. We need to be doing
24:03
Speaker 10: more to kind of redevelop find you know, there's been
24:06
Speaker 10: a lot of dilapidated properties that we have been demolished,
24:09
Speaker 10: but now we're also working turning the corner and working
24:12
Speaker 10: to get new construction. We've tripled more than tripled the
24:15
Speaker 10: amount of new builds in the city just in the
24:18
Speaker 10: through an incidentive program that we initiated, and we're about
24:20
Speaker 10: to do a second round of that in the coming months.
24:24
Speaker 10: You know, we need to be doing more of those
24:26
Speaker 10: third spaces that I was talking about.
24:28
Speaker 2: You know, the the city.
24:30
Speaker 10: Center Sleck Plaza has truly transformed our downtown. We need
24:34
Speaker 10: to also be investing into having a lot more parks
24:38
Speaker 10: in our neighborhoods. I mean, that's one of the you know,
24:41
Speaker 10: policies that I think is really important is to that
24:43
Speaker 10: I was able to get through setting some goals for
24:46
Speaker 10: having parks within walking distance of people's homes. Having seventy
24:50
Speaker 10: five percent of our city live within a half while
24:52
Speaker 10: walk of a home of a park. That is something
24:56
Speaker 10: that helps people's way of life. It's not something that
24:58
Speaker 10: people are calling me up to get, but they it
25:01
Speaker 10: really makes their way of life better.
25:03
Speaker 4: Well, And if you're going to attract young people, which
25:05
Speaker 4: is what we want to do in West Virginia, we
25:07
Speaker 4: want to attract younger people, and we want to attract families,
25:10
Speaker 4: you know, we want to attract people that are going
25:12
Speaker 4: to come here on the odd chance that maybe their
25:14
Speaker 4: kids are going to want to stay here, and you're
25:16
Speaker 4: going to give their kids something to do. Because you
25:18
Speaker 4: talked about the jobs, and I agree with you on
25:21
Speaker 4: that one hundred percent. But people only work so many
25:23
Speaker 4: hours a day, you know. I mean people only work
25:25
Speaker 4: in theory seven or eight hours a day. I remember
25:28
Speaker 4: my first part time job too, but in theory. And
25:32
Speaker 4: maybe they get a day off, they get weekends off.
25:34
Speaker 4: So the job alone, I have always said, is not
25:37
Speaker 4: It may attract you here, but you're not always at work,
25:40
Speaker 4: you know. And the ability to work remotely, the ability
25:43
Speaker 4: to have parks, to have recreation. This younger generation, statistically saying,
25:48
Speaker 4: you know, it's statistically proven, are more about experiences. They
25:52
Speaker 4: love the outdoors. I'm a fan of the great indoors, okay,
25:56
Speaker 4: but they like the outdoors. They want to be able
25:58
Speaker 4: and we're not Charleston.
25:59
Speaker 5: We're not far.
26:00
Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about the parks in the communities,
26:03
Speaker 4: we're not far from the New River Gorge. Thinks we're
26:06
Speaker 4: not far from some of these other places. Well, when
26:08
Speaker 4: they're not working.
26:09
Speaker 2: That's right.
26:09
Speaker 10: And you know, as somebody, I mean, I have young kids.
26:11
Speaker 10: I have a two year old and a seven year old,
26:13
Speaker 10: and during COVID, the seven year old, it was crucial
26:17
Speaker 10: for us to have We happen to live near a
26:18
Speaker 10: park a half block away from us, and we were
26:21
Speaker 10: able to just go to that. That was such a
26:23
Speaker 10: life sent for us during that time. And it makes
26:26
Speaker 10: just a big difference even past COVID, but certainly especially
26:30
Speaker 10: during that time. But having parks in your community makes
26:32
Speaker 10: a big difference for folks. And we have a great
26:35
Speaker 10: new park in our city, the Jones Woodlands Trails up
26:39
Speaker 10: in South Hills, and we have some existing parks that
26:41
Speaker 10: have been cato and a lot of others that are
26:44
Speaker 10: really great places to spend some time, to kind of
26:46
Speaker 10: get out and to you know, joy your community.
26:48
Speaker 2: Have a place to walk.
26:49
Speaker 10: That's nice, you see birds and all that kind of stuff,
26:52
Speaker 10: and it it really improves your way of life.
26:54

27:14
Speaker 4: We give any more information on that as we get
27:16
Speaker 4: a little bit closer. I got to ask you something
27:19
Speaker 4: that's been a lot of buzz the last couple of
27:21
Speaker 4: weeks here, and that's the Town Center. We all remember,
27:24
Speaker 4: and I am not an native Charlestontonian, but I remember,
27:29
Speaker 4: you know, as a teenager and a young guy coming
27:31
Speaker 4: up from Logan County and the Town Center and all
27:34
Speaker 4: that went with it was everything. Everybody wants the Charlestontown
27:38
Speaker 4: Center to be what it was in nineteen eighty eight. Okay,
27:40
Speaker 4: it's not going to be that. It's never going to
27:43
Speaker 4: be that in the way we remember it. Nothing ever
27:45
Speaker 4: is as Paul Simon said, everything looks good in black
27:49
Speaker 4: and white. Okay, just keep that in mind, and there's
27:52
Speaker 4: not going to be one store. People have blown up
27:55
Speaker 4: our text lines and social media said, well, if you
27:57
Speaker 4: just put this in here, not gonna happen. Would you
28:00
Speaker 4: ideally like to see happened with the Charleston town Send man?
28:04
Speaker 10: You know, uh, you know the fact that there's a
28:06
Speaker 10: possibility that the city might end up in you know, ownership,
28:09
Speaker 10: and that's above my pay grade. I'm not, you know,
28:11
Speaker 10: involved in those conversations or anything. We have a large
28:13
Speaker 10: city council. But but you know, I think there has
28:17
Speaker 10: to be some amount of mixed use. I think, you know,
28:19
Speaker 10: some residential is something that've it's been working in places
28:22
Speaker 10: for decades now at this point. I mean, you know,
28:24
Speaker 10: it's not even a new thing to have residential with
28:27
Speaker 10: a mall, that kind of thing. I mean, I worked
28:29
Speaker 10: when I worked in the Northeast. I think it was
28:31
Speaker 10: a Trump Tower that was like I'm built on top
28:34
Speaker 10: of a mall in the tower where I lived in
28:36
Speaker 10: and or worked in, and and and that worked great,
28:39
Speaker 10: you know, And so I think there's opportunities to do
28:42
Speaker 10: things like that where we have some residential. We have
28:45
Speaker 10: some office base, we have you know, some recreation, and
28:48
Speaker 10: we have some stores.
28:49
Speaker 2: I mean, but ultimately, look, you know, you know, in.
28:51
Speaker 10: The past several years, this issue comes up and people
28:54
Speaker 10: complains that city needs to do something about the mall.
28:56
Speaker 2: It's like, we don't, you know, we don't own it.
28:58
Speaker 10: But if we do own it, you know, I don't
29:00
Speaker 10: think we're we're going to be the ones that are
29:02
Speaker 10: going to be the developers of it. You have to
29:04
Speaker 10: find someone to do.
29:04
Speaker 4: People I think forget that sometimes. And it's this is
29:07
Speaker 4: not exclusive to Charleston. I mean it happens in every
29:10
Speaker 4: town I read about on social media. Well, the city
29:12
Speaker 4: of Blank, you all need to put in a restaurant.
29:14
Speaker 4: Well that's not what cities do. You know, you don't
29:17
Speaker 4: put in restaurants. You don't put in things like this. Now,
29:20
Speaker 4: if you get in agreement with the whole group where
29:22
Speaker 4: maybe the city does take over it, then but you're
29:25
Speaker 4: still not going to be the one to put restaurants in.
29:27
Speaker 4: I mean that's you can go out and you can
29:29
Speaker 4: have you can say, hey, bring your place here, but
29:31
Speaker 4: it's not it's not the city diner so to speak,
29:34
Speaker 4: or whatever. And I think I'm I'm all on board
29:37
Speaker 4: with this multi use thing. I mean, I really really am,
29:39
Speaker 4: because it's worked so many other places.
29:41
Speaker 5: And it's not to say that.
29:43
Speaker 4: You couldn't have a nice restaurant there. It's not to
29:46
Speaker 4: say that you couldn't have a store or too. But
29:48
Speaker 4: to be whatever the town Center was in its peak,
29:51
Speaker 4: forty whatever it was, I don't know, forty five to
29:53
Speaker 4: seventy stores, whatever is there. That's not the that's not
29:56
Speaker 4: the future going forward.
29:58
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
29:59
Speaker 10: And you know, I have ideas about things that we
30:02
Speaker 10: can put in there, but I'm not Look, I'm not
30:03
Speaker 10: a developer, you know. I don't have the metrics on this.
30:06
Speaker 10: I'm not that we need to find the folks who do,
30:09
Speaker 10: but I do think it has to have some kind
30:10
Speaker 10: of a mixed use.
30:11
Speaker 4: All right, So if you are going to be elected
30:15
Speaker 4: as a as an at large member of city council,
30:18
Speaker 4: we talked about a few of the things, but are
30:20
Speaker 4: there anything else that is kind of on your wish
30:22
Speaker 4: list for the city of Charleston going forward? Yeah?
30:24
Speaker 10: And I really I really think we just we really
30:26
Speaker 10: need to focus on ways that we can make redevelop
30:30
Speaker 10: get more people to stay here, and redevelop the land
30:33
Speaker 10: that we have, you know, and and create those third spaces.
30:36
Speaker 4: All right, Emma Pepper at large City councilman is running

Speaker 4: buddy of mine one time that lived in work in
34:26
Speaker 4: San Diego. And when I told him what my weather,
34:28
Speaker 4: which is where, he said, you just need to move
34:29
Speaker 4: to San Diego.
34:30
Speaker 5: Because I said, I don't like it too hot.
34:32
Speaker 4: I don't like you know Sonny in seventy five, he said, saying,

34:56
Speaker 13: the north.
34:56
Speaker 2: But then he starts to get into Los Angeles.
34:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, so we got weather.
35:02
Speaker 2: Uh and uh.
35:05
Speaker 4: And by the way, if you're not following Brian hughes
35:07
Speaker 4: On on social media, you you should be.
35:10
Speaker 13: Uh.
35:10
Speaker 2: So you missed an entertaining time. Then it's been the.
35:14
Speaker 4: Go to his Facebook page and in the comments at
35:17
Speaker 4: the bottom, and I'm not talking about the comments from
35:18
Speaker 4: the people. I'm talking about the comments that he has
35:20
Speaker 4: on there, or somebody has on there boasting. I think
35:22
Speaker 4: does that I'm not sure.
35:24
Speaker 2: She's actually running the show.
35:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, the comments are are absolutely hilarious. I love the
35:28
Speaker 4: one I saw last night that said something like experience
35:32
Speaker 4: and it said.
35:32
Speaker 5: Which means old.
35:33
Speaker 4: You know, all right, so let's get serious here for Yeah,
35:37
Speaker 4: now let's don't.
35:39
Speaker 2: It's more fun.
35:40
Speaker 4: We got we got what's what are we looking at
35:43
Speaker 4: as we speak right now? Because right now we got
35:45
Speaker 4: our sock drop going on? Considering it's January the twenty second,
35:50
Speaker 4: not too terribly bad. Today, Tomorrow looks good. What do
35:54
Speaker 4: we got coming in Saturday, Sunday and into Monday and
35:56
Speaker 4: really all of next week?
35:58
Speaker 13: So uh, more than anything, the messaging has been there.
36:04
Speaker 13: Ari Sarsalari, who is with Foxweather, very good friend of mine.
36:08
Speaker 13: You know, as he said he said last night, he goes,
36:11
Speaker 13: you know, we haven't had a storm, and I've I've
36:15
Speaker 13: said this as well, we haven't had a storm that
36:17
Speaker 13: has had this much advertisement this far ahead in a
36:21
Speaker 13: long time, especially in this digital age. And when I
36:25
Speaker 13: say digital age, digital age actually kicked off about fifteen
36:27
Speaker 13: twenty years ago really, but the new digital age where
36:30
Speaker 13: we have literally forecast models, all of them right at
36:34
Speaker 13: our fingertips, and we can go through and analyze every
36:37
Speaker 13: single one of them as they come in. But this
36:40
Speaker 13: storm has been well advertised. You know, there's this storm coming.
36:43
Speaker 13: Everybody from New Mexico to the East coast. You know
36:47
Speaker 13: there's a storm coming.
36:48
Speaker 2: That's about sixteen hundred miles worth of winter storm watches
36:52
Speaker 2: that were all issued at the exact same time yesterday
36:55
Speaker 2: and once the last time that happened.
36:57
Speaker 13: We haven't had one like that, especially with the coordination,
37:00
Speaker 13: and it takes it literally took the National Weather Service
37:03
Speaker 13: as a collective hole of say, we're issuing this winter
37:05
Speaker 13: storm watch, even though some of it was outside of
37:07
Speaker 13: the parameters for when they normally would, We're issuing this
37:11
Speaker 13: winter storm watch for everybody across the country at once
37:14
Speaker 13: because this is so impactful and the message needs to
37:17
Speaker 13: be cohesive, and that is we've got a major impacting
37:21
Speaker 13: storm that is going to cross the country and on
37:24
Speaker 13: the far southern side there's gonna be ice.
37:27
Speaker 2: There's a chance that in southern West Virginia and maybe
37:29
Speaker 2: southeast Kentucky.
37:30
Speaker 13: We do get some sweet and maybe some freezing rain
37:34
Speaker 13: mixing in. We've talked about it before, the warm wedge
37:37
Speaker 13: the storm system is incredibly powerful, and the fact that
37:42
Speaker 13: it can draw the warm air up from you know,
37:45
Speaker 13: the deep South, literally Alabama, Georgia, back up across parts
37:49
Speaker 13: of you know, North Carolina, Tennessee, and right up the
37:53
Speaker 13: centrally corridor g from you know, right there from Pikeville Juice,
37:57
Speaker 13: all the way of cord Or g and even up
37:59
Speaker 13: to as far as maybe flat woods, as far as Clarksburg.
38:04
Speaker 13: It might even get there. And that's going to cut
38:07
Speaker 13: some snow totals back. But do you go north of there,
38:09
Speaker 13: Holy smokes, the Ohio River a foot of snow and
38:14
Speaker 13: into the mountains a foot to maybe even eighteen inches
38:17
Speaker 13: worth of snow. But you know, forecast models as of now,
38:21
Speaker 13: so we've talked about this, the national blend of models
38:25
Speaker 13: has any has spikeful around four to five inches worth
38:29
Speaker 13: of snow right now. Beckley could be on order of
38:33
Speaker 13: about six inches of snow. Charleston could be anywhere from
38:38
Speaker 13: six to eight inches of snow if the warm wedge
38:42
Speaker 13: wins out. But last night the forecast models started to
38:47
Speaker 13: trend back south. Wasn't a lot, but it was enough
38:50
Speaker 13: that it was it was substantial that we go, Okay,
38:52
Speaker 13: there's the trend. There's what we call a windshill wiper
38:56
Speaker 13: effect where it goes back and forth, back and forth,
38:58
Speaker 13: And we still do expect probably by this afternoon a
39:01
Speaker 13: little bit touched further south.
39:03
Speaker 2: But for here the Charleston metro area.
39:06
Speaker 13: How critical is that it's very critical because if the
39:09
Speaker 13: models just trend just far enough south, it's a difference
39:12
Speaker 13: from us having anywhere from a six inch snow to
39:15
Speaker 13: a foot.
39:16
Speaker 5: Okay, And when might we know if that's the case.
39:22
Speaker 13: I really it's going to be this afternoon into this
39:24
Speaker 13: evening tonight, okay, because because I mean we're still snow
39:28
Speaker 13: didn't start till Saturday, Yeah, and here it is Thursday.
39:31
Speaker 13: We obviously we know that in the forecast. I think
39:35
Speaker 13: you saw the posts that had this morning. You know,
39:37
Speaker 13: the forecast from the National Weather Service this morning was
39:40
Speaker 13: that we would have the possibility and mind you, it
39:43
Speaker 13: is a wide range, but we have an eight to
39:46
Speaker 13: twelve inch potential for snow, and that would be if
39:50
Speaker 13: the warm wedge does not win.
39:53
Speaker 2: And this is what I have.
39:54
Speaker 4: Been seeing from a lot of folks online. They're saying, well,
39:56
Speaker 4: and we hear about that warm wedge. It kind of protects,
39:59
Speaker 4: you know, from some time Huntings and Charleston.
40:01
Speaker 5: Maybe that this good.
40:02
Speaker 4: But what you're saying is is even if the warm
40:04
Speaker 4: wedge comes in, it doesn't mean that, oh, we're not
40:06
Speaker 4: going to get any snow at all. Everybody is going
40:08
Speaker 4: to get a lot of snow regardless of what went right.
40:11
Speaker 13: I mean, you think about it. Four inches of snow,
40:13
Speaker 13: that's your shoveling stuff. Two to four inches is when
40:17
Speaker 13: you start pulling the shovels out and the snowblowers. Four
40:19
Speaker 13: inches there are a lot of folks that bring snow
40:21
Speaker 13: blowers out even for that, but especially once you get
40:23
Speaker 13: to six inches, which I firmly believe we are going
40:26
Speaker 13: to be at least six inches here right now as
40:29
Speaker 13: we speak, right now, six inches of snow in the
40:32
Speaker 13: Charles the metro area.
40:33
Speaker 2: All right.
40:33
Speaker 4: And but even my point is is even if that
40:36
Speaker 4: warm wedge that we always talk about does went out
40:39
Speaker 4: or takes the upper hand, or what analogy you want
40:42
Speaker 4: to use, that doesn't mean we're not going to get snow.
40:44
Speaker 4: Because I saw people post and say, oh, we're just
40:46
Speaker 4: gonna get rain for here. No, no, no, that's not
40:48
Speaker 4: gonna happen. No, No, it's that that's a joke. Could
40:51
Speaker 4: that mix in later, yes, But here's the here's the
40:53
Speaker 4: bigger problem. And this is where uh, this is where
40:56
Speaker 4: my discussions with h you know, municipal leaders and UCH
41:00
Speaker 4: comes in, is that we're going to start think about
41:03
Speaker 4: this Saturday.
41:04
Speaker 2: We're barely going to get above twenty degrees. That's okay.
41:08
Speaker 13: We've set the stage beginning Friday evening and night going
41:13
Speaker 13: into Saturday morning that we're cooling the ground up off significantly.
41:18
Speaker 13: So everything that falls going into Saturday evening will most
41:23
Speaker 13: Saturday afternoon, even though it's only going to be a
41:25
Speaker 13: half inch an inch maybe two inches by the time
41:27
Speaker 13: sunset hits probably a round an inch by sunset. That
41:31
Speaker 13: is there, and you have this coating that is keeping
41:35
Speaker 13: the ground so cold. If the warm wedge moves in,
41:38
Speaker 13: then you put ice on top of it, and then
41:41
Speaker 13: you know, that's and even if we do briefly get
41:44
Speaker 13: some very cold rain, still that becomes a layer of ice,
41:47
Speaker 13: and then there's snow that comes into this sunstude.
41:49
Speaker 4: And this kind of reminds me last year around January
41:52
Speaker 4: sixth or whatever, we had a similar situation.
41:54
Speaker 5: It was on a weekend.
41:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've started on Sunday, we had snow and then
41:58
Speaker 4: we had freezing rain. On top of that, and then
42:00
Speaker 4: we had more snow on.
42:01
Speaker 2: Top of it, and the cold settled in and he
42:03
Speaker 2: could and.
42:03
Speaker 5: The snow stuck around for a long time, and.
42:05
Speaker 13: Everyone in Kanas City complained, like you wouldn't believe because.
42:09
Speaker 2: Nobody touched our streets. You live in the flats, of
42:12
Speaker 2: course they're not going to get touched.
42:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now that's just I mean, that's the hills when
42:16
Speaker 4: you when I mean the area that I live in
42:18
Speaker 4: in Putnam County, uh Tays Valley Road, they do a
42:21
Speaker 4: decent job on it. The subdivision that I live in,
42:24
Speaker 4: we have a guy that comes in and scrapes, okay,
42:27
Speaker 4: but he's not going to do it that off because
42:29
Speaker 4: he's doing fifty five other subdivisions exactly. So that's just
42:32
Speaker 4: part of you.
42:32
Speaker 5: You choose we live, and you think about things like this.
42:35
Speaker 4: You know, I chose my wife and I chose our
42:37
Speaker 4: house because when I when we were living in Logan,
42:39
Speaker 4: I lived on a hill and one winter my vehicle
42:43
Speaker 4: was parked at the bottom of the hill the entire winter,
42:45
Speaker 4: and I said, I'm not doing this again. When we
42:47
Speaker 4: went to a real estate agent, I said, flat that's
42:50
Speaker 4: what I want.
42:51
Speaker 5: Flat land, no more hills. No more, no more hills.
42:54
Speaker 13: And so so that's so that is the that is
42:57
Speaker 13: the concern amongst state county city leaders is if we
43:03
Speaker 13: get the eyes, that's the worst problem, because you know
43:06
Speaker 13: they're gonna be the city, the city streets that you
43:08
Speaker 13: can't touch.
43:08
Speaker 2: It's gonna have layer of eyes. And then you've got
43:10
Speaker 2: you've got to take care of the people that live
43:12
Speaker 2: in the hills. They're the first priority. But I cannot
43:16
Speaker 2: stress this enough. It is going to be so cold
43:20
Speaker 2: right before and right after all next week, not get
43:24
Speaker 2: enough freezing. Matter of fact, we've got a couple of
43:26
Speaker 2: shots where we will probably have second half of next week,
43:29
Speaker 2: big time cold that moves back in another chance of snow,
43:32
Speaker 2: another chance of snow. Now think about this.
43:34
Speaker 13: Ten years ago today we were reeling from the sixteen
43:38
Speaker 13: inches of snow that we had ten years ago at
43:40
Speaker 13: this time.
43:41
Speaker 2: That's what shut down the West Virginia Auto Show. And
43:43
Speaker 2: probably yesterday all your pictures in Facebook started showing up
43:47
Speaker 2: of remember this from ten years I have.
43:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I will tell you the honety and Fishing

Speaker 4: show is going on because we had Glenn Gerrel on yesterday.

Speaker 13: know there's still forecast models that come in. And believe me,
47:16
Speaker 13: it was a game of mine yesterday afternoon evening last night.
47:19
Speaker 13: I think I'm I've been every single person's Facebook bead
47:23
Speaker 13: in West Virginia and Kentucky and Tennessee and Virginia.
47:28
Speaker 4: Explain to people though, because people will say a lot
47:31
Speaker 4: of people have said, well, you know, I look at
47:34
Speaker 4: this weather person and they say this, or I look
47:36
Speaker 4: at this service and they say that. And just like
47:38
Speaker 4: everything in life, there's going to people are going to
47:40
Speaker 4: look at things and see disagreements.
47:42
Speaker 2: Right there, Absolutely is.
47:44
Speaker 13: I mean, as I as I've said, I've been doing
47:46
Speaker 13: this well over twenty five years, and you know there's
47:49
Speaker 13: pattern recognition. I know the biases of forecast models, and
47:53
Speaker 13: I look at some of that as as you know,
47:56
Speaker 13: an absolute experience. When I know the biases, I know
47:59
Speaker 13: I know what things perform a little bit better. And listen,
48:02
Speaker 13: we're all listening to each other to some degree, We're
48:04
Speaker 13: all listening. Listen to one thing this that the other.
48:07
Speaker 13: I won't listen to Jim ken Toy, very good friend
48:09
Speaker 13: of mine. I don't know that he's coming to Charleston.
48:12
Speaker 2: If he does, i'll let you. If he does, he'll
48:14
Speaker 2: call me and he'll let you know. But not as yet.
48:16
Speaker 2: But I listened to what everybody's thinking. Because somebody finds
48:19
Speaker 2: something there like hey, this blah blah blah, check this out,
48:22
Speaker 2: and then you go, oh, look at that. Yeah, so
48:24
Speaker 2: there you you absorb so much, but then it's time
48:27
Speaker 2: to regurgitate it and tell people what she and it
48:29
Speaker 2: could all.
48:30
Speaker 4: It could all change, right But as we stand right
48:34
Speaker 4: at a store, as we stand right now, give us
48:40
Speaker 4: a timeline as as and it may all change tomorrow,
48:42
Speaker 4: but as it stands right now, because people are playning,
48:44
Speaker 4: there's high school basketball and so on and so forth. Uh,
48:48
Speaker 4: give us a timeline. We're fine tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow, Friday,
48:51
Speaker 4: we're fine.
48:52
Speaker 5: And what point Saturday should we start getting concerned.
48:54
Speaker 2: On Saturday, we will be cold. Temperatures are going to
48:57
Speaker 2: have a hard time getting out of the teens. We're
48:59
Speaker 2: going to a few spots. Will we get to the
49:01
Speaker 2: low twenties.
49:02
Speaker 13: But as we go into the midday, well, some light
49:04
Speaker 13: flurries that'll start, then some light snow showers. By the
49:07
Speaker 13: time we get the sunset, there'll probably be an inch,
49:10
Speaker 13: maybe up to two inches. As we go into Saturday night, though,
49:13
Speaker 13: this snow will ramp up significantly. Now there is a
49:17
Speaker 13: possibility that in the overnight hours, as that snow is
49:20
Speaker 13: starting to as that snow is starting to ramp up,
49:23
Speaker 13: that we will have some winterry mix that maybe some
49:26
Speaker 13: sleep freezing rate that mixes in in that warm wedge
49:28
Speaker 13: along one nineteen quarter or g. And then after that
49:31
Speaker 13: the snow comes back in, it takes does.
49:33
Speaker 5: That melt any of the snow that's.
49:35
Speaker 2: There, It will melt some of it, but not all.
49:38
Speaker 5: And then the snow and then we're all in the
49:39
Speaker 5: snow again.
49:40
Speaker 13: Sunday all back to snow and then it is going
49:42
Speaker 13: to be cold, and the snow will wrap up on
49:44
Speaker 13: on Monday. But Monday it'll be flurries and most of
49:46
Speaker 13: that will be happening the mountains of West vidg All.
49:48
Speaker 5: Right, and morning commute on Monday looking rough.
49:50
Speaker 13: It doesn't look good at all. Matter of fact, I
49:52
Speaker 13: don't think there's gonna be a lot of events. I
49:55
Speaker 13: believe probably almost all fifty five counties West Virginia will
49:58
Speaker 13: be out of school on Monday.
49:59
Speaker 5: All right.
49:59
Speaker 4: That's that's you know, that's where we are right now. Yes,
50:02
Speaker 4: and high school basketball Saturday night. Because I know a
50:04
Speaker 4: lot of folks are listening to you. You think most
50:07
Speaker 4: of it will be canceled.
50:08
Speaker 2: You they need to move them up to the midday
50:10
Speaker 2: or go ahead and cancel.
50:11
Speaker 4: We've got a big concert over and that's not going
50:13
Speaker 4: to cancel the Jason Alden Show. I mean that they're
50:15
Speaker 4: going to do that no matter what.
