3:01
Wade want to welcome to the show. Senator shelleymore Capito, Good morning,
3:05
Senator, how are you. Good morning, Dave. I'm doing great.
3:07
How are you? Thank you for being here. Billions, Senator, Billions
3:12
with a B is what we're talking about here. Billions and funding coming to
3:15
the Mountain State for broadband through this BID program. That's a broadband equity,
3:20
access and deployment program. Largest amount of funding I understand for broadband in state
3:25
history, possibly in the nation's history. Senator, give us the overall view.
3:29
Talk about them. Well, this is really great news for West Virginians.
3:34
We know that we have over two hundred and seventy thousand West Virginians that
3:38
still are either unserved or underserved in their connectivity. And this program is part
3:45
of the infrastructure package that I worked on, and the connectivity part of it
3:50
has been something I've talked about for a long time with my Capitau connect.
3:53
So West Virginia got the eleventh most dollars. We got over one point two
4:00
billion, and the reason being is we're still left unserved. So you know,
4:03
the good news is we're getting a lot of money. The bad news
4:06
is we've been lagging, and so this is going to be able to connect
4:11
that last home, that last location. We are going to have a lot
4:15
of accountability in here. Working with the Broadband Enhancement Council. They've done great
4:23
work at the state level to be ready for this, and so I'm very
4:27
excited to be a part of it. I think it's going to be very
4:30
accurate, and it's going to go to those people who actually, which is
4:32
almost thirty percent of our state don't have service or have very poor quality service.
4:39
And we know education, healthcare, remote tourism, everything is tied to
4:46
Internet. Is utility now that is a necessity. Yeah, I agree with
4:49
one of the percent. Again, we're talking about Shelly more capital and that
4:51
was going to be my next point I was going to make with youth senators.
4:55
I think sometimes people simply just don't understand how important brought band is and
5:00
that reliable high speed broadband. In twenty twenty three, this is what this
5:04
time frames too. I guess to equate it to something out of the past,
5:09
This is this generation's water and sewage. I mean you talk about that,
5:15
well it is. I mean when you when students are ask when they
5:18
leave school to research a project, they're not you know, they're not looking
5:21
at the encyclopedias like we used to. They're looking to the internet for solid
5:29
research, or they're looking to the internet to be able to zoom with a
5:31
teacher. Uh. If you are in a remote part of West Virginia and
5:35
you need to see an endracnologist and you don't you can't get the transportation.
5:41
You can do these things by m remote, but you can only do it
5:46
if you have good service. If we're going to attract young people, we're
5:49
never going to attract more young people into the state without connectivity. I mean
5:53
we know that, and so that's part of the Ascend program. That's part
5:57
of what we need to do. If you look also, I've talked to
6:00
tourism folks and interesting, you know, everybody wants to unplug and see wild
6:04
and wonderful West Virginia, but when they get back to their cabin, they
6:08
want to replug in exactly and then you know people are streaming, they're they're
6:12
no longer you know, connected on their TVs. I mean, I could
6:15
go on and on. You'll probably add a lot to it. So it
6:18
is a necessity. Emergency services, emergency warnings, all of these things are
6:24
really tied to connectivity. I want to go back in history and we're talking
6:27
to Senator Shelley Moore Capito. Senator, I want to go back in history
6:30
a little bit, and you referenced the capitou connect This is something, as
6:33
you mentioned, that you've been working on for quite a while. Right.
6:36
I really realized as I began, certainly when I was running for the Senate,
6:41
how unserved certain people are. And then and then you get into classrooms,
6:45
and I love to go into the classrooms and I usually ask how many
6:47
of you don't have good service at home? In a full quarter of the
6:51
class is raising their hand. And then COVID really really hit the highlight on
6:56
this. So one of the things I think that's really important about this program
7:00
because I think some people are sort of skeptical, is this really going to
7:03
be that last person connected? And what the difference this time is the mapping
7:10
is very accurate Kelly Workman in her group, along with a lot of other
7:14
people at the Broadband Enhancement Council, have been have been mapping every single location
7:18
in West Virginia as to whether or not they have service or whether it's a
7:23
poor service. And so we know accurately, we're not going to overbuild somewhere,
7:28
We're not going to lead out certain people because we didn't know about them.
7:31
This is this is going to be a much deeper and more granual or
7:35
look at who has service and who doesn't. So the money will come to
7:40
the state, uh, and then they will deploy this in a program that's
7:44
already existing at the state to the Internet service providers with you know, we're
7:48
going to have a plan here. We can't just get the money and throw
7:51
it out the door. We're gonna have a very systematic plan to deliver this
7:55
service. It's and again, I kind of want to go back to something
8:00
that you said about the mapping. And I was listening to your interview as
8:03
I was traveling that you did with Hobby yesterday, and you alluded to the
8:05
fact that there have been issues in the pact and with this mapping. In
8:09
other words, and I know that this happened. For a fact, down
8:13
where I'm from in southern West Virginia. One area of West Virginia has a
8:20
single family that gets broadband, and the government or the companies, whatever it's
8:24
been in the past, commit and they say, okay, well, this
8:26
particular hollow, or as we say in southern West Virginia, this hollow is
8:30
connected, and that simply hasn't That's simply not true. Just because one house
8:37
has it doesn't mean that the next fifteen of the hollow have it. Right,
8:39
the money that went out in twenty ten, and some of the money
8:43
that's followed that federal dollars, whether it's agriculture dollars or other has been and
8:48
I want to get two in the weeds here has been delivered by what you
8:52
call a census track. So you could have one hundred and fifty home in
8:54
a census track. But if, as you said, if the first house
8:58
at the hollow or has service, then they would count everybody as having service,
9:03
and therefore nobody would be eligible for those fundings. And this is different.
9:09
This is every single individual location will be determined. You will no longer
9:13
be part of a larger group, and that I think is very subjective and
9:18
a big difference, and I think will result in the kind of results that
9:22
we deserve. Talk with Senators selling more capital in five eighty Live and five
9:26
eighty Lives brought to Empire by Husbands Pizza this month that your favorite husbands get
9:30
a large eighteen nich Pepperoni pizza and an order of Sentim advice with icing only
9:33
twenty ninety nine. Find your local husbands at husbands Pizza dot com. Senator,
9:37
So what's next? Where does it go from here? Well, what
9:39
we have now a plan that we a deployment plan at the state that we've
9:46
been working on. We've gotten some expertise with the Department US Department of Commerce
9:50
who runs this program. So we're going to put forward a plan that's going
9:54
to show how we're going to rese those two hundred and seventy thousand homes and
9:58
we're going to put together are probably weighs the accountability portion of it, like
10:03
what we're going to be asking the internet service providers to provide. You know,
10:07
another question that comes up a lot is some people don't have internet service
10:11
because they can't afford it. And that's true, and so there is an
10:16
affordable Affordable Connectivity Plan that we put into effect during COVID because we realize how
10:22
important connectivity is. And this is thirty dollars and it says basically that the
10:28
each Internet service provider has to present a plan that's considered accurate by the FCC,
10:35
I mean adequate and good service, and it can only charge thirty dollars.
10:39
And for the folks that qualify for this, they would get the thirty
10:43
dollars as a submody to be able to afford the plan. So that's part
10:48
of this as well, and that's an essential part because we don't want that
10:50
excuse to be I can't afford it. It has to be affordable and it
10:54
has to be accessible. Well, certainly the biggest announcement that's come through here
10:58
in a long time, Tim and Senator I know that you've been out in
11:01
front of it, and Senator Mansion has as well. Um, and we'll
11:05
probably have him on the show in in the future. I appreciate you taking
11:07
time out of your schedule to be here. It's an exciting time for this
11:11
in West Virginia. Senator I appreciate you being here. Thanks a lot.
11:13
It is all right, Thank you, happy, good you as well,
11:16
Senator Selly Moore Capital it is nine eighteen five eighty line Bryan two part A
11:20
Boy, Generations Physical Therapy seven convenient locations along as sixty four and they're hiring
11:24
for lightnse to technically trained staff. For more information to visit Generations pt dot
11:28
com. Let me say this like I get it. You know this was,
11:31
you know, a team effort. Senator Capito. Senator Mansion also,
11:35
as I mentioned, had a lot to do with it as well. UM,
11:37
Senator Capito's office seems to be really getting out in front of this.
11:41
As I mentioned, I was listening as I was driving yesterday to her interview
11:45
with Hobby, and then hours so later, I get an email from our
11:48
office saying, can you make some time for the Senator tomorrow? UM.
11:52
In either way, and by the way, I will say, the Senator
11:56
Mansion has not been on the show in a while, but he's always welcome
12:00
should he choose to come on. I'm throwing that out there to you,
12:03
Senator Mansion. And there are those who would say, and I get the
12:09
argument that the government has no business getting involved in this sort of thing.
12:13
And I'll be honest with you, I'm never happy when our federal government spends
12:18
billions, that's billions would be on a lot either. But this simply has
12:22
to be done. As I stated earlier, broadband is to twenty twenty three
12:26
what running water and proper sewage was in the twentieth century. And the Senator
12:35
mentioned it. You know, we saw it during the pandemic. Online learning
12:39
was nearly impossible, if not impossible, for a lot of kids in West
12:43
Virginia. I mean kids having to go to McDonald's to do their homework.
12:48
It was a thing, especially in a lot of rural areas. And I
12:54
for one applaud Senator Capital, Senator Mansion, and anyone who helped to get
12:58
this done. Again, I'm not crazy, but the whole idea, but
13:01
it simply has to be done. I mean, that's just that's kind of
13:05
where we are right now. Let me see, Texas Capito connect hasn't connected
13:09
West Virginia to internet. West Virginia's internet hasn't gotten better because the Senator Capital's
13:13
efforts. The only thing she's done is vote for a federal tax payer to
13:16
help make West Virginia's internet better. It doesn't take a genius or talented person
13:20
to make that vote Texas. We're skeptical because Capital Connect has been hot air
13:26
and unseen guarantee since before Capito was in the Senate. Texas Elon Musk Starlink
13:33
will be available on all of West Virginia by the end of twenty twenty three.
13:37
My buddy has it on its farm in rural Pocahontas County. Loves it.
13:41
But the politicians can't run around patting themselves on the back when a private
13:43
outfit beats them to the market. Ask Capita, why Trump? Why didn't
13:52
Trump and the Republican Control Congress enact broadman investments? Ask Capito, she worked
13:58
on band for so long. Why didn't the deal get done before President Biden's
14:03
leadership? As Capita, why didn't now? This is the same text her,
14:07
by the way, as Capito, why I didn't now, explaining Carol
14:09
Miller do anything to help bring broadband investment to West Virginia. Our internet says
14:20
a texture is one hundred twenty dollars a month. Basic services ninety dollars according
14:24
to a text. And I'm going to throw this out here too, because
14:28
you know, I never get I never don't take advantage of the opportunity.
14:31
I never will not. I don't know what I'm trying to say. What
14:35
I'm basically trying to say is Shelley Moore Capital mentioned one of my fellow Logan
14:39
County and Zarah Kelly Workman, who has done a fantastic job she in her
14:43
office in doing this mapping thing. So any opportunity I get to propel a
14:48
fellow Logan County and like Kelly Workman out there, I certainly will. She
14:52
has done a fantastic job in this. All right, it's nine twenty three.
14:54
We're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna talk
14:58

18:26
friend. Tim Brady from the Charleston CVB. Good morning, sir, David,
18:30
Good morning brother. How are you. I'm fantastic and let's talk to
18:33
the equally fantastic Adam Harris. Good morning everybody. Alright you man, Adam
18:37
of Mountain Stage and wrestling fame, because we're talking about the wrestling show.
18:41
By the way, this Regotta update is brought to you by Selango Law Results
18:45
matter called Selango Law, Charleston's personal injury law firm. All right, Tim,
18:51
let's talk. Let's start with you from the from the CVB standpoint out
18:55
of the gate. Last year, there were skeptics about how big of an
18:57
attraction there Regotta would be since it's been gone for so long. We're coming
19:03
off COVID over two hundred thousand people on how many millions later, it looks
19:07
like it was a hit. Yeah. I mean you're talking about a thirty
19:08
million dollars impact over about five days last year, sold out hotels, uh
19:14
thirty plus million dollars in economic impact to the Charleston region. It was an
19:19
enormous success, and I think it was the confluence of a lot of things.
19:22
It was. It was post COVID, there was a lot of pent
19:26
up desire to get out and do stuff. There was this, uh,
19:30
this sense of nostalgia, this desire for for the city to bring back regatta.
19:34
It was an undercurrent of the mayor's campaign. So it was just this
19:40
perfect storm of uh, this really great weather over five days and just an
19:45
amazing event last year that was really this, this dynamic team effort to pull
19:52
off. And now we're looking at year two and it's like, how do
19:55
you build upon that? So let's let's roll up our sleeves and get to
19:57
work. At what point, Tim, did you folks start looking at the
20:00
regatta prior to the actual event last year and think this is going to bring
20:04
a lot of money into Charleston the surrounding areas. Were you even surprised by
20:07
it? I mean, I know this is what you do for a living
20:10
as you make projections. But but were you even surprised by it to turn
20:12
out and the and the money that came in? Absolutely? And I think,
20:15
honestly, I think right up until day one last year, everybody was
20:19
kind of sitting on their hands thinking, what if we did all of this
20:22
and it's it? And what if you throw a party in noting down right,
20:27
but enough about my childhood. But what if you throw a party and
20:30
nobody comes the Dave Allen Stores, ladies and gentlemen on Lifetime next weekend?
20:34
Um, No, it's it was night one. It was night one,
20:38
ever clear, and and you looked out over the boulevard and you went,
20:42
oh boy, here it comes. If this is night one, strap in
20:48
because of the next three or four days are going to be a wild ride.
20:52
Yeah, yeah, indeed, I make no mistake about it, Tim.
20:55
The regatta was good for South Charleston, it was good for Cross Lanes,
20:59
It's good for the Days Valley. And that's one of the things that
21:02
we talk about at the Convention of Visitors Bureau. I know that this mayor
21:06
and her administration feel the same way. And even beyond the borders, of
21:10
Charleston and Kanall County into Putnam County and Cabell County. What's good for one
21:15
is good for all. You know. The cliche is that a rising tide
21:17
raises all boats. But what we say at the Visitors Bureau is tourists don't
21:21
care about municipal boundaries. If they came in and they stayed in South Charleston,
21:25
that's great, that's good for them. And if they aid in South
21:27
Charleston, or they stayed in Charleston and aid in South Charleston, vice versa,
21:30
it doesn't matter. It's good for all of us. And we want
21:34
the entire valley to succeed, and regod is good for the whole valley.
21:38
Let's talk about the impact with the downtown restaurants and bars and things of that
21:42
nature. You know, talking to some of the restaurant owners after the event
21:47
last year, they said that it was for some of them, it was
21:49
their best day ever. For most of them, it was their best day
21:52
in years. It brought people to town and they weren't just down on the
21:57
boulevard and the Regatta footprint, but they were all over the city and they
22:00
were they were dining on Capitol Street, but they were at Capital Market.
22:03
They were uh, they were in Kanas City, they were on the west
22:07
side, on the East end. Um. People and and we track some
22:11
data, some third party cell phone data so that we can see people movement
22:15
when when we have large events in town and during Regatta, people were all
22:18
over the city. Indeed. Um, So how are we looking for this
22:22
year? I know it's the sixty four million dollar question, but how but
22:26
let's talk about this year? What do you think of you know, this
22:29
year? I think we've got a great music lineup. Um, the weather
22:32
looks like it's it's it's lining up to be really really great. Well,
22:34
when you put a meteorologist as chairman, it doesn't hurt, you know.
22:37
So yeah, that's that's true. And I think that was a tactical mood
22:41
right um uh uh. Also Also, i'll due respect to the president of
22:47
the Regatta Commission, my former boss a, Lisa Bailey. She's the she's
22:51
the she's the head of the commission, not not Brian. Yeah okay,
22:55
but anyway, I kid um, but yeah, I mean, the weather
22:57
looks nice, the music line up is great, the the other events that
23:02
are happening throughout the city. You're talking about Winer Dog Race, as you're
23:04
talking about the carnival, you're talking about the car show, the beer festival,
23:10
all of these events we learned lessons from last year so that we think
23:12
everything's going to be better. And then of course the marquee event of the
23:17
weekend Saturday afternoon three pm City Center Slack Plaza, the Stern Wheel Slamboree,
23:22
and also the Chief branding Officer, Adam, let me get this in here
23:27
before we talk to you about the wrestled Advent five eighty Live is presented apart
23:30

23:45
for your Edward Jones Financial Advisor, Travis Willard, Edward Jones member sip s.
23:48
All right, Adam, let's swing the conversation for a minute over to
23:52
wrestling. Bring the best talk about this big get wrestling. By the way,
23:56
you had a text waiting on you about the wrestling show. I'll get
23:59
to it here momentarily, boy, but let's talk about this whole wrestling thing.
24:03
How does this whole thing come about? I mean was there last year,
24:06
but bigger and better this year. First of all, we have to
24:07
say congratulations of the mayor and Tim and everybody who put on an amazing event
24:11
last year. They made history by bringing the Regatta back and they were included.
24:15
They included professional wrestling last year. And we're gonna make history again this
24:18
year with the first of its kind of event, the first Sternwell Slambury,
24:22
and we're gonna crown the first ever Regatta champion. Really, yeah, how's
24:26
that gonna happen? I mean it's it just gonna be like a tournament or
24:27
well, there's been a couple qualifying matches at local promotions and what ended up
24:32
happening is we've actually have the Powerslam Academy's Grand Champion, Troy Parker is challenging
24:37
against the ASWX Division Champion, Josh Williams of the Working Class and that's going
24:42
to be the deciding contest and it's actually going to open the show. So
24:45
bring your chair and get there at three pm for Belli on Saturday. Saturday,
24:49
Adams to true Vincewickman promoter. He puts he puts the headline match on
24:53
first. His main event goes first. We're starting hot that actually has like
24:57
three main events, a lot of main events. I got a text that
25:00
was waiting on you when you got here about this, and I have to
25:03
admit, you know, I didn't ring announcing for thirty some odd years,
25:07
but I've been out of it for a couple of years. But someone asked
25:10
me to ask you why Troy Parker had to earn his way into the Regatta
25:15
Pro Wrestling championship match while his buddy Josh Williams was just handled a spot because
25:18
of his connections. It's just like a little wrestling angle we got going here
25:22
because I have no idea who these people are, so go ahead. May
25:23
be one of the organizers, but I have no idea what went on when
25:27
Bishop Baylor from the working Class went into the City Hall. There's a video
25:32
on our instagram. If you fell at Regatta Pro Wrestling, you can see
25:34
that video. All I know is Bishop Baylor walked in and walked out and
25:37
the match was made. Okay, who he talked to city Hall is yet
25:42
to be determined, and they don't tell me these sort of things. I
25:45
just know that it ended up. The contracts were signed and Josh Williams is
25:48
challenging Troy Parker. Well, let me ask you this, who else would
25:51
you want representing Regatta Pro Wrestling than someone from the working class? I mean
25:56
you talk about let me tell you something. When Saturday is over, I
26:00
predict that the working class will leave there with gold. Well, the working
26:03
class earned their way in because of their skill in the ring. Let me
26:08
tell you something about Bishop Baylor. Not only does he have the look,
26:11
I mean, would you want to meet Bishop Baylor in a dark alley?
26:12
You know? So he's also got it between the ears. So he knew
26:15
how to get his guy into that man question. And that's what he did.
26:18
He walked into city Hall, knew what he needed, and he walked
26:21
out with exactly what he means. And I have to say, you know,
26:22
Hollywood, Jeff Petty, my producers like the biggest wrestling fan in the
26:26
world. He's like a kid in a candy store in here. Now he's
26:27
like holding up signs and the whole deal. I think I think, I
26:30
think, Jeff, we just guaranteed you're gonna be part of the show,
26:33
Is that right? I mean there's a there is a possibility. I am
26:34
working on a sign in here right now to just go ahead and all right,
26:37
right, I like it, and you can have a ringside seat as
26:41
far as I'm there. You go, Hollywood, there you go. All
26:44
right, I'm going to Coop after this and we're going to talk. Yeah.
26:45
I think he just quit his job. He's supposed to work this weekend,
26:48
so and I want the wrestling show. I want to make sure to
26:51
shout out our friends. Full disclosure. Parmar is our presenting sponsor. We
26:53
thanks to them. We also brought on nine hundred on Lee as one of
26:56
our major sponsors. And then also thanks to a Walking Time who is bringing
27:00
in the Godfather WW legend for a signing that's gonna go down at Five Street
27:04
Brewery and then he's gonna be at the Stern will Slambury as well at WW
27:08
Hall of Famer and then also Bully Trap Barbershop sponsored as well, and so
27:12
we couldn't do it without them, and also the support of the CVB Charleston
27:15
CVB. I mean, in the regatta itself just goes on because of all
27:19
the people who work behind the scenes, city services, electricians, everybody from
27:23
top to bottom makes this stuff happen. Yeah, and I said that,
27:26
you know, kind of at the top. And I'm glad you said that
27:29
again, Adam, And it's it's good to reiterate. I mean, it's
27:30
a team effort, right. I mean, we can name check individuals,
27:34
but but truly you talk about a team effort. Regatta is the definition.
27:38
And certainly the city service, all of the city employees from parking, the
27:45
parks and rack, police, the sanitation, the public works. It's it
27:49
takes the entire team to pull off an event of this magnitude. We like
27:56
to say somebody has to make this nonsense happen. Not talking about the Regatta
28:00
in general, right, Free And Adam, I want to go back to
28:03
you because I know you're a long time pro wrestling than a certain radio host
28:07
here may have had something to do with you getting your break in the business,
28:11
but now, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, you're you're
28:12
the top guy in as part of the country. I mean, I've seen
28:15
your work and you're very because here's what people don't understand about wrestling, and
28:18
I did it for so many years. Is the announcer is not just a
28:22
guy that gets up and says and in this corner you reliant because you don't
28:25
have with these wrestling shows. You don't have television for for for some you
28:30
do, but for the most but now you do have access through YouTube and
28:33
things that nature. But they don't have a weekly television show to tell stories,
28:36
that's right. So it's up to the announcer to basically catch people up.
28:40
Okay, you maybe weren't at the last show. You don't know that
28:42
this happened, and what's the why is the scaffeating with this guy and so
28:45
on and so forth, and and that's what you do. So well,
28:47
that's right. Well, thank you man. I appreciate that a lot,
28:48
and I'd take the job seriously, probably more than most would. But you
28:52
know, and you have to a lot of people are hearing these names for
28:55
the first time. You know, some of these people have been seen on
28:56
ww television before, some of them haven't, and so you have to really
29:00
kind of introduce them through their introduction and you're saying their name for the first
29:03
time. And I think about it all the time because a lot of these
29:06
guys wrestle once on the card, but the ring announcer gets to be a
29:08
part of every match. I'm a part of all eight matches, you know,
29:11
every time, and so it's exciting for me. And I like to
29:14
service the wrestlers. I like to make sure that they're happy with their with
29:17
their introductions and make sure I get everything right because it's very important to them.
29:19
Because of that audience reaction, Like you were saying, all right,
29:22
Tim, I got a question that was text in here. As popular as
29:25
the Easton yard sale is, would you consider having a large regotta yard sale
29:29
on the Saturday morning starting next year? You could get people sign up to
29:33
sell. It would bring an even bigger crowd on Saturday morning to visit restaurants
29:36
or food trucks staying there after the shopping for the carnival, etcetera, etcetera.
29:40
You know, we'll take that under advisement. Yeah, neat, we
29:44
love we love sales. Well, here's the thing about it, what I
29:48
have what I've discovered though with the folks with this forgot and then again,
29:51
this is only your second year. You don't get everything right the first time
29:53
around. You if you do this twenty years in a row, as they
29:56
did, in a past. You're not going to get everything right every year,
29:59
so you rely on the public to say, hey, this work,
30:02
this didn't work, my family didn't really enjoy this. We we did like
30:04
this, and I know that you folks listen to him Tom. Yeah,
30:07
And that's the that's the beauty of an event like regatta. You know,
30:11
there's certainly they're going to be the staples. You're always going to have the
30:14
main stage entertainment. You're always going to have the carnival, you know,
30:18
anchor events like the Winner, Doll Grace, the funeral Parade, the stern
30:21
Wheel, slamboree um. But then what else do people want? What what
30:26
didn't work this year? And what can we do next year that that people
30:30
may dig and really get into. Um. So it's sort of this nebulous
30:33
concept, right, So you know you have your anchor events, but sure,
30:37
I mean there's always room to to change the schedule, add things,
30:41
drop things. So uh, certainly the yard sale would would some would be
30:45
something we would take under advisement. I just have to manage my stock,
30:48
my inventory because I sell out at it. I sell out at the East
30:52
End yard Sale, so I'd have to hold some inventory back for the Regatta
30:56
sale. Well in Charleston's the kind of place where if somebody see he's a
31:00
need or a hole or a place to fill something, they'll come to you
31:03
and they'll say, hey, listen, here's an idea I had, let
31:04
me help organize or something like that. This is that kind of town where
31:08
the right people are standing by to help, and often they step up.
31:11
Often they find their own sponsors. Often they'll say here, let me lead
31:14
the team. And that's kind of what we did with the stern Will Slamboree.
31:17
And I hope it becomes an anchor event. If this goes well and
31:18
the fans turn out, you know, we should have this every year.
31:22
And that's a That's another great point, Adam, and that is you know,
31:23
you look at some of the events that are regattas Staples and I've mentioned,
31:29
you know, the Wiener Dog Race, and I've you know, the
31:30
Funeral Prede, the Classic Car Show. People have stepped up, the Great
31:36
Rubber Duck Race. People in organizations have stepped up and they run their events.
31:40
So not only do people come with ideas, but then they do the
31:44
work. Yeah, I mean, it's one thing to have an idea but
31:45
you have to have somebody do the work, and Charleston is a great town
31:48
for for people to stop up and do the work. Tim, I'm so
31:52
glad you got that mention of the of the of the duck race, because
31:56
yesterday Margaret, when I had Brian Hughes on, Margaret O'Neill from the United
31:59
Way was texting me, you know, say, don't forget about the duck
32:00
race. Don't forget about that, right, make sure we get the duck
32:01
class. I hope Margaret's listening, because I would never ever forget about the
32:07
great Rubber Duck Race. I mean, it's all part of the of the
32:09
regards. There's just so many things we're gonna be spending time. As I
32:12
said, every day this week. Tomorrow we're going to talk about the entertainment
32:15
and Adam, you know, um, your your other job and your shoot
32:17
job has to do with music. Of course, you're the executive director whatever
32:22
your title is of the King of Mountain Stage. Uh. And so actually
32:27
what his business cards says the tournament you just throw Larry Gross over the top.
32:32
Might do Larry Gross, You're not gonna do. Kathy Matake enjoyed me.
32:37
Help me get to the top. But but but let's talk about this
32:39
entertainment. And again we're gonna spend time talking about it tomorrow. But I
32:42
mean, you've got flow Rider, uh you, You've got Jody Messina,
32:45
You've got Cool in the Gang, You've got better than Nasra. I mean,
32:49
there's some quality, quality acts coming this year, for sure. Yeah,
32:52
for sure, they did a great job booking this year. And even
32:54
the the you know, the leadoff act on Friday Night is gonna be Redline.
32:58
I mean, I'm sorry, on Saturday Night is a red Line and
33:00
followed by flow Rida and flow Rida had some interactions with Heath from the WWE
33:05
when he was appearing a few years ago. They actually had a WrestleMania moment
33:08
together. So I hope that flow Rider knows the stern will Slam Marie is
33:13
happening, and you know, you never know, you might even see Heath
33:15
up on stage with flow Rider later. That bell comes back to wrestling always,
33:19
it always does. Yes, sir, you talk about Redline. I
33:21
also would be remiss if I didn't talk about Kate Boytech taking the stage before
33:25
Jody Messina. Of course, Dave, you know Kate, She's taking over
33:30
a Logan's biggest personality. Actually, we're actually working on stealing Kate, Like
33:35
we're calling her Charleston, West Virginia. But Kate just shot her first music
33:42
video in Charleston. She's been doing some ambassador work on behalf of the Charleston
33:45
CBB. Her album is outstanding. She's just as a person, just aces
33:52
like top notch five star person And she takes the stage before Jody Messina and
33:57
I can't wait, And she's gonna be my host this Friday because I have
34:00
to do a different host every Friday, and so she's going to be the
34:02
guest host on the show is Friday, which just happens to me the day
34:06
that her video makes its world premiere on CMT. I think Dave finally found
34:10
a way for me to listen to his radio show. It's like all this
34:14
time, It's like all this time, All right, guess we gotta go.
34:16

38:05
good morning, how are you hire? They're doing? Good? Good morning?
38:07
Uh you know you're following up Tim Brady and Adam Harris talking about wrestling
38:09
there, so you got you got a tough road to home, man,
38:14
oh man. They they were enticing about the various Forganda offering and they made
38:20
fun of you. So what's not to love? Brad. I want to
38:23
get back to the broadband announcement from yesterday, um, but before that,
38:28
the governor is on the end. This morning he had gallbladder surgery, pretty
38:32
routine surgery from want to understand, no complication. Jeff Jenkins has a story,
38:36
no pictures, just a story posted on the website. What do you
38:38
know about the governor's condition right now? Just that he's out for a bit?
38:43
What What the governor's office described was that around Thursday he started having some
38:50
some discomfort symptoms and his medical team advised him that it would be a good
38:55
idea to get that gallbladder removed. It's, you know, something that a
39:00
lot of people go through. It is fairly routine surgery. I am now
39:04
an expert because I googled gallbladder this morning, and in my minute and a
39:09
half of reading, I learned that you don't necessarily need your gallbladder, Yeah,
39:15
but it is helpful to have. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of
39:16
like the appendix. You don't really need it, but it's there if you
39:20
wanted. I guess I don't know. Well, we certainly wish in the
39:22
best. Let's move on to get your take on the broadband announcer from yesterday.
39:27
Senator Mansion was all over. Senator Capital was on this show earlier and
39:30
was on Hoppy yesterday Billions Brad with Bay. That's a lot, right,
39:36
And you know, the question I was getting on my social media in response
39:40
to the reaction was well, where is this going to be? Is it
39:44
going to go to the communities in West Virginia that are already sort of the
39:50
haves or where will it be? And so I pose that question to Senator
39:54
Mansion and he had his press briefing in conjunction with US Commerce Secretary Gina Romando,
40:01
and they both said, meant for everybody that the mapping that has been
40:07
done, the detailed mapping of unserved and underserved areas, along with the sheer
40:12
amount of money quarter two point five billion dollars nationwide, West Virginia is getting
40:16
one point two billion dollars of that. West Virginia is one of nineteen states
40:22
receiving more than a billion dollars. And it's probably in funding that's that's meant
40:27
to stretch out to every every hollow, out every creek in West Virginia and
40:32
over time up to the year two thousand and thirty, a lot more connected
40:37
than is right now. Well, it certainly is the hope and and Brad.
40:43
I've said this time to time again, those of us here in the
40:45
Kanal Valley we kind of take quality internet for granted. I normally have no
40:49
issue with mine, but oddly enough, I an internet's very important for my
40:53
wife and I have since we both do a lot of work from home.
40:55
Oddly enough, woke up this morning, left the house, I learned there
40:58
was a widespread outage and takes. I do understand that it's back on now,
41:01
but that isn't the case everywhere in West Virginia where my stepmother lives in
41:07
Logan County. Now, granted it is a holler, but it's not much.
41:10
It's not that much of a holler that it should be that big of
41:14
an issue. She doesn't have broadband or even cell phone coverage, and when
41:17
it rains, her landline doesn't work either, So if it rains, she
41:23
has no telephone service landline. This is twenty twenty three folks that should have
41:28
been taken care of well. Capital made some great comments about the need for
41:35
school kids. I mean, in many cases books are not necessarily in the
41:38
poor of books anymore, that you're meant to just download what you need,
41:43
and so kids need the broadband for their education. Entrepreneurs, small businesses need
41:50
to be able to connect. West Virginia is making marketing effort toward trying to
41:57
get people to move to the state to do remote work, to enjoy West
42:01
Virginia's beauty and amenities, but to be able to connect to do their jobs.
42:07
And so a lot of reasons that, you know, the places in
42:12
the sort of central backbone of West Virginia need to be even more connected than
42:15
they are. I know a lot of people have a question, well,
42:19
how are we going to assure that this money goes to good use? Its
42:22
one point two billion dollars, And I will admit to you, Dave,
42:28
I don't know the specific answers to that yet, trying to figure that out,
42:31
but both Commerce Secretary Romando and Senator Capital specifically mentioned being careful with the
42:40
money and making sure that it's used for what it's meant to be well,
42:44
And as Hobby alluded to yesterday on the show, as I was listening Brad
42:47
in West Virginia, we don't always have necessarily the greatest track record on these
42:52
things. I mean closets full of servers going back to what was a twenty
42:55
ten or something like that. So hopefully that won't be the case this time
42:59
around. Quickly, Brad, I had canaugh Undy Commissioner Ben Silango on the
43:01
show last week, and he says, who'll make an announcement about it?
43:05
Possible gubernatoria run sometime around the fourth of July holiday. What are you hearing
43:09
about him or others of anything? Huntington Mayor Steve Williams certainly sound like someone
43:14
who was going to run for governor when he spoke to a Juneteenth gathering in
43:17
Huntington. What about what Senator Manson is going to do? What's the story,
43:21
old glory? What do we got? Oh my gosh, Well,
43:23
everybody's keeping me guessing you're right that I think. Steve Williams announced to a
43:30
crowd during that Juneteenth weekend that he intends to run the Democratic mayor of Huntington.
43:37
What Selango had previously said Commissioner Selango was that he had hoped not to
43:42
engage in an expensive primary where you know, the Democrats with limited resources might
43:49
be up against each other before taking on whoever the very formidable, formidable Republican
43:55
nominee might be. But at this point, if if Selengo and we and
44:00
Is both intend to run, it does match up that way. You know,
44:02
I see what they're saying. They don't want to spend whatever their dollars
44:07
are before they get to the general election. But you know, to me,
44:10
I see somebody without primary election competition and that they are not in the
44:15
news, they are not having their debate points owned. I think it's healthy
44:21
to have primary competition as well and then be sharp and ready and already the
44:27
subject of attention by the time you hit the general All right, well,
44:30
we'll keep a close on and know you will as well. Brad, I
44:32
appreciate it. Well, we'll talk to you soon. Thanks a lot.
44:35
Man oh U asked, what man will do? I don't. Yeah,
44:38
I have a great day. Okay, thanks Brad mcahaddy. It's it's nine
44:43
fifty two. Jeff. What we're gonna do is Jeff Petty I'm talking about.
44:46
I got too many Jeffs in here. Before we take the break,
44:50
I want to bring in Jeff Jenkins from the news from because of the Jeff
44:52
this Jeff is really really busy today, Jeff, A horrific story out of
44:54
Montgomery this morning. What do we know, Well, it happened early this
44:58
morning. Two men were shouting, killed and so folks familiar with Montgomery's on
45:02
State Route sixty one, just kind of down toward us past the Family Dollar
45:09
there, so real close to the Canal Fat County line. But it's fed
45:14
County's call and obviously Montgomery Police's call. So two men were shot and killed.
45:19
No arrest have been made. Chief Parish workman who says it appears to
45:23
have been drug related. I think there were some drugs found at the scene.
45:28
The names of the men who were killed, those have not been released
45:31
as of yet. So it's a it's a it's an active investigation right there
45:35
on the main drag route sixty one, and happened again just a couple of
45:40
minutes after midnight, so key time of the investigation, of course, first
45:45
few hours trying to trying to piece some things together. Workmen said they've had
45:49
have had some drug problems in that area. In fact, I was remembering
45:52
a story from back in May where they you know, there there was an
45:55
attempted robbery at the family dollars. So you know, just just different issues
46:01
there, but active investigation. Two people dead, all right, and stories
46:06
posted on the website. Jeff, No, you'll be working on I appreciate
46:08

back to the broad band knock out, a couple of text or text says,

for the record, the Trump administration put forward nearly seventy million dollars for
51:05
broadband in West Virginia through the FCC Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, says. The
51:10
text or texture also says of note today Williams talking about Steve Williams, mayor
51:15
of Huntington, defunded his city's broadband effort by more than one million dollars last
51:21
month, according to a texture. I cannot verify that, but that's what
51:27
it texture says, so I have no reason to believe otherwise. By Viteli
