Speaker 2: all right, so uh this may be a new field
2:53
Speaker 2: to you. Were going to talk about your book that
2:55
Speaker 2: you wrote a little bit later. But you people know
3:00
Speaker 2: you because of you know, you've been in the world
3:02
Speaker 2: of politics for some time, not as an elected official,
3:04
Speaker 2: but you've been. You work for different people, different things
3:06
Speaker 2: like that. So but but now you've decided to write
3:09
Speaker 2: a book. It's an interesting and not about politics, I
3:12
Speaker 2: mean about something. It's actually a Christmas book. So we're
3:15
Speaker 2: going to talk about that a little bit later. But
3:17
Speaker 2: give people your.
3:18
Speaker 4: Background for those who may not know, sure, I was
3:20
Speaker 4: born and raised in Man in Logan County, and that's
3:23
Speaker 4: how really I know, Dave. My background actually started out
3:27
Speaker 4: working in behavioral health. I worked there for five or
3:30
Speaker 4: six years with adults with development developmental delays, and then
3:35
Speaker 4: I transitioned to education. I got my master's in education,
3:38
Speaker 4: taught school for a couple of years, and then I
3:40
Speaker 4: met a man named Evan Jenkins when he was running
3:43
Speaker 4: for Congress, and we hit it off and he was
3:47
Speaker 4: elected beat Nick ray Hall, and I went to work
3:51
Speaker 4: on his official in his official office. I was with
3:54
Speaker 4: him for around three and a half years, and then
3:56
Speaker 4: I went to work for Congressman Alex Munei for around
4:00
Speaker 4: four years. And now I trained congressional staffers and members
4:04
Speaker 4: of Congress full time. But before that, truthfully, I grew
4:09
Speaker 4: up in a huge, huge family and we didn't have
4:12
Speaker 4: a lot of money to have a lot of means.
4:14
Speaker 4: But the memories I have and that we've made in
4:18
Speaker 4: Man was something I would I wouldn't trade for anything.
4:21
Speaker 4: But yeah, I fought around with politics for a while.
4:25
Speaker 4: I worked on some campaigns. I mean, I remember when
4:29
Speaker 4: in the coal fields, when being a Republican was a
4:33
Speaker 4: scary thing. And then we transitioned, obviously in twenty fourteen
4:38
Speaker 4: over to the Republicans taken over and when we actually
4:41
Speaker 4: won elections, I started working full time for Congressman Jenkins.
4:45
Speaker 4: And how I transitioned to an author. And my job
4:50
Speaker 4: now is just solely just random, and that's all I
4:53
Speaker 4: can tell you. It's verry random.
4:56
Speaker 6: All right.
4:56
Speaker 2: So you've written a book and it's called Christmas in
4:59
Speaker 2: the Mountain State, and for people like me, it's got
5:01
Speaker 2: a lot of pretty pictures and stuff in it too,
5:03
Speaker 2: So that's always good time. Tell us, So what made
5:05
Speaker 2: you decide to want to write this book?
5:07
Speaker 4: Well, I truly wrote the book. Well, I'm gonna go
5:10
Speaker 4: back to this a little bit. Okay, During COVID, I
5:12
Speaker 4: was in the house like almost everyone else probably, and
5:15
Speaker 4: I was extremely bored, and I said, it crossed my mind.
5:19
Speaker 4: I love kids. I loved teaching school. When I retire
5:21
Speaker 4: in a few years, I'm gonna go back to teaching school, hopefully.
5:25
Speaker 4: So I was bored. I opened a Google drive. I
5:29
Speaker 4: thought about writing a children's book, and again that was
5:31
Speaker 4: very random fault. I actually wrote the title and never
5:34
Speaker 4: picked it up again.
5:35
Speaker 2: Christmas in the Mountain State.
5:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christmas in the Mountain Stead. I wrote that and
5:39
Speaker 4: never opened again. And so we fast forward a little
5:44
Speaker 4: bit and my mother was sick. We were taking care
5:46
Speaker 4: of her with took care of my father as well.
5:48
Speaker 4: My mom passed away last year around October, and to
5:52
Speaker 4: be honest, the book was written in grief. She loved Christmas,
5:55
Speaker 4: my father loved Christmas. I love Christmas, and most of
5:58
Speaker 4: my brothers and sisters. It's just something that was really
6:00
Speaker 4: still to us. We did not have much, but we
6:02
Speaker 4: had always decorated. The house was decorated with so many things,
6:07
Speaker 4: and it really impacted me. But I didn't really know
6:10
Speaker 4: what to do after my mom passed, and every time
6:13
Speaker 4: I started missing her or I would be thinking about home,
6:17
Speaker 4: I would just pick up the book. There's a lot
6:19
Speaker 4: of revisions, a lot of different takes, i'll say of
6:24
Speaker 4: this book, of different versions. But it was really wrote
6:28
Speaker 4: in grief. But I also I love West Virginia. It's
6:31
Speaker 4: it's a place that uh that one once you're here,
6:34
Speaker 4: it's it's it's in your blood. So I always brag
6:39
Speaker 4: on West Virginia even in d C. I talk about
6:43
Speaker 4: West Virgina all the time. In my apartment, people would
6:45
Speaker 4: walk in and they say, oh my god, it's like
6:47
Speaker 4: a shrine of West Virginia in this.
6:48
Speaker 2: Apartment in d C.
6:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had triply everywhere I didn't notice it, but
6:52
Speaker 4: everywhere you turn there's like a the map or something
6:56
Speaker 4: about the state.
6:57
Speaker 7: Uh.
6:58
Speaker 4: So I really wrote this, as I say, a love
7:01
Speaker 4: letter to West Virginia, but also just a it's it's
7:04
Speaker 4: dedicated to my parents, who really instilled the love of
7:08
Speaker 4: Christmas in us.
7:09
Speaker 2: What's the premise of the book, I mean, take us
7:12
Speaker 2: through it.
7:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, so essentially it's about a red cardinal named Jay.
7:16
Speaker 4: So obviously the red cardinal, our state bird. I chose
7:19
Speaker 4: a red cardinal for that reason. But also I didn't
7:22
Speaker 4: think about this but at the time, but red cardinals
7:25
Speaker 4: often mean are often the symbol. They symbolize your past
7:30
Speaker 4: loved ones coming to you. When you see a Cardinals,
7:34
Speaker 4: it's your it's your past loved ones saying I'm okay.
7:37
Speaker 4: And I actually had a couple of people come up
7:39
Speaker 4: to me at my stand this weekend and I had
7:41
Speaker 4: had an email and two emails talking about how this
7:44
Speaker 4: book reminded them of their past loved ones because of
7:47
Speaker 4: the red cardinal. I chose it because of the state bird.
7:50
Speaker 4: But anyway, it's his name's Jay. That was my father's nickname.
7:55
Speaker 4: And he travels throughout West Virginia showcasing, showcasing everything we
7:59
Speaker 4: have to all for all those cool places. I mean
8:02
Speaker 4: obviously the Capital, Capital Market, Bluefield that's now designated as
8:06
Speaker 4: a Christmas City, Snowshoe, the Greenbrier, WU. There's a lot
8:13
Speaker 4: of symbols in there, so it truly just gives a
8:15
Speaker 4: good snapshot of what West Virginia has to offer and
8:17
Speaker 4: all the cool things we have.
8:19
Speaker 2: Please tell me there's something about Logan County in there.
8:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, I.
8:23
Speaker 4: Was gonna wait until you it's not Morrisons, but it's
8:27
Speaker 4: it's a Chief Logan State Park, is okay? Archways in there.
8:30
Speaker 2: The most visited daytime park in West Virginia.
8:34
Speaker 4: Yes, I was telling someone the other day I was
8:37
Speaker 4: looking at the illustration. I always loved the lights, but
8:40
Speaker 4: I didn't appreciate the lights until after I left and
8:43
Speaker 4: came back home and I drove through the park. I'm like,
8:45
Speaker 4: this is this is something, this is really really cool
8:49
Speaker 4: and something we should be proud of. But Chief Logan
8:51
Speaker 4: is in the Okay.
8:51
Speaker 2: I want to make sure we had some love for
8:53
Speaker 2: the Home County in there.
8:55
Speaker 4: But the jay goes throughout the state. Obviously I couldn't
8:58
Speaker 4: pick every place, but uh, there's in this book. Because
9:02
Speaker 4: it's dedicated to my parents. I chose a lot of
9:04
Speaker 4: things that were special to me, and that was Chief
9:07
Speaker 4: Logan I spent. We didn't get to go on vacations
9:10
Speaker 4: growing up. My aunt and uncle would take us to
9:12
Speaker 4: Lake Stevens in Raleigh and that was our vacation for
9:15
Speaker 4: the year. So Lake Stevens is in there. My grandfather.
9:21
Speaker 4: It talks about coal miners. I never met my grandfather.
9:24
Speaker 4: My mom was one of nineteen kids and she had
9:27
Speaker 4: us late in life. My brother and I.
9:29
Speaker 2: Were one of nineteen kids, one of nineteen.
9:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, her mother died like when she was forty four,
9:35
Speaker 4: and it's it's crazy. I know it's a crazy story.
9:39
Speaker 4: I have sixty seven first cousins, if that tells you anything.
9:42
Speaker 4: But we really we we when we were our family,
9:49
Speaker 4: which is huge, so our grand most of a lot
9:52
Speaker 4: of us didn't meet the young ones. Did not meet
9:55
Speaker 4: my grand grandfather because my mother was forty when she
9:58
Speaker 4: had my brother and I, so I never met my grandfather.
10:01
Speaker 4: But he's We do a page about coal miners and
10:04
Speaker 4: we used his picture. So there's a lot of things
10:07
Speaker 4: that's really special. My nieces and nephews' names are on
10:11
Speaker 4: a Santa Claus list. So things that that would make
10:14
Speaker 4: my mom smile, my dad I put in the book
10:16
Speaker 4: that most people wouldn't know.

Speaker 2: It just wrote me that he wrote a book that's
15:40
Speaker 2: on my level. Danny. It's a kid's book. Okay, what's
15:43
Speaker 2: to call Christmas in the Mountain States?
15:45
Speaker 6: Wow?
15:46
Speaker 2: And it's kids book and it's about it. It's got
15:48
Speaker 2: a cardinal, it's got references to things from Capitol Market.
15:51
Speaker 2: He's a Logan County guy, so he's got his references
15:53
Speaker 2: to Chief Logan State Park and there. Of course, Chad's
15:55
Speaker 2: very involved in politics, right, it was involved in politics.
15:59
Speaker 2: Work for Evan Jenkins, a long time Alex Mooney.
16:01
Speaker 6: But he's now you see, running for anything.
16:04
Speaker 2: No, no, he's listening DC now and he's doing political
16:07
Speaker 2: stuff in DC, working with different organizations in d C.
16:10
Speaker 2: But he took time to write a kid's book.
16:11
Speaker 6: So he's got a d C played on. I wonder
16:14
Speaker 6: who that was. Yeah, it has taxation without representation.
16:19
Speaker 2: I didn't know that I did, I don't know.
16:20
Speaker 6: I didn't see that. Well that's what the that's what
16:22
Speaker 6: the all those plates say.
16:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh okay, yeah you're right about that.
16:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, they want two senators.
16:28
Speaker 2: And so how so how's your book doing?
16:30
Speaker 6: I sold them all?
16:32
Speaker 2: So there are no copies right now? Mm no, no,
16:38
Speaker 2: but we have more common right, two hundred more okay?
16:41
Speaker 2: And yeah when will those be in? Approximately?
16:43
Speaker 6: I say a couple of weeks.
16:45
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna give a time for Christmas.
16:46
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, they'll be first place, shooting by Miss
16:52
Speaker 6: Taylor Books. Now they're on Amazon, but I want to
16:56
Speaker 6: caution you on something. Okay, Amazon, they got a book
17:03
Speaker 6: they're selling for thirty five dollars. I think it's all
17:06
Speaker 6: black and white. Okay, I'm not sure because we're having
17:11
Speaker 6: terrible communicating with them, because you're gonna have to pay
17:17
Speaker 6: more if you want my copy, which is color, with's
17:22
Speaker 6: selling here for thirty I'm losing money on it. But
17:29
Speaker 6: they'll have four different copies of the book.
17:31
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, and I'll tell you the pictures are a
17:34
Speaker 2: big part of the book.
17:35
Speaker 6: I mean I think they are.
17:36
Speaker 2: I mean, if you ever went to your restaurant downtown,
17:39
Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the things that people were
17:41
Speaker 2: always drawn to, was the all the pictures you had
17:43
Speaker 2: hanging on the wall. Many some of those are also
17:45
Speaker 2: in the book, with others that I had never seen before.
17:48
Speaker 6: If you buy it off Amazon, I pay the money
17:53
Speaker 6: and get the best copy and I don't make any
17:58
Speaker 6: more money. I mean I don't make any more money
18:02
Speaker 6: on Alizon Amazon. You know it's laughable. I am embarrath
18:07
Speaker 6: today how little it is.
18:09
Speaker 2: But it's also a necessity though, if you want to
18:11
Speaker 2: sell both.
18:12
Speaker 6: If you want to sell books, yeah, sure, all right.
18:15
Speaker 2: So since you were on last week, Danny tragedy in
18:19
Speaker 2: DC involving the two National Guard members from West Virginia.
18:22
Speaker 2: Sarah Berkstrom of course died from her injuries, Andrew Wolf
18:26
Speaker 2: still fighting for his life. Still any thoughts from you
18:29
Speaker 2: on that other than it was a tragedy, We know that,
18:31
Speaker 2: but any thoughts from you.
18:33
Speaker 6: Twenty year old girl. I just can't imagine. I've got
18:38
Speaker 6: a nineteen year old son. I've got one that's getting
18:42
Speaker 6: ready to turn eighteen. And of course Jared at the
18:47
Speaker 6: nineteen year old, he's at vm I, he's military. She's
18:53
Speaker 6: just she could have been my daughter, could have been
18:56
Speaker 6: your daughter.
18:58
Speaker 2: Well, and then listening to the people talk about her.
19:01
Speaker 2: There's been candidlight visuals held in her native Webster County,
19:04
Speaker 2: but she lived in Nicholas County. That's where she was working.
19:07
Speaker 2: And so we've interviewed different people. I know Jeff actually
19:11
Speaker 2: went to the one of the Candidit visuals and to
19:13
Speaker 2: talk to some people. People always talk, at least for
19:17
Speaker 2: the most part, warmly about people when they pass, but
19:20
Speaker 2: you can also tell when it's genuine and when it's not.
19:23
Speaker 2: And hearing the interviews on the morning news as I
19:25
Speaker 2: was driving in this morning, Danny, the people that Jeff
19:28
Speaker 2: had talked to, it seems like that this girl was very,
19:33
Speaker 2: very popular, very well liked. She was a prom the
19:37
Speaker 2: queen of the prom and things of that nature. There
19:41
Speaker 2: was some video I saw from one of the TV
19:43
Speaker 2: stations this morning over the weekend when she apparently had
19:47
Speaker 2: developed a friendship with a young like a as much
19:52
Speaker 2: of a friendship as you can develop with a two
19:53
Speaker 2: year old, you know. And the mother was speaking at
19:57
Speaker 2: the visual, the mother of the two year old, and say,
19:59
Speaker 2: you know, how do you how do you explain to
20:02
Speaker 2: a two year old that your friend's not coming back?
20:05
Speaker 2: It's real life stuff.
20:06
Speaker 6: Man. I don't know. I don't know about the National
20:13
Speaker 6: Guard being these cities. I just don't know. The mayors
20:17
Speaker 6: don't want them. Yeah, if that might be enough for me.
20:26
Speaker 6: I know, the Marines don't belong there, that's not what
20:29
Speaker 6: their mission is.
20:32
Speaker 2: It is worth noting know that these two people volunteered
20:35
Speaker 2: to go there because they were sent there and then
20:38
Speaker 2: and now it's basically a volunteer thing. But they volunteered
20:40
Speaker 2: to go there, and that doesn't make it any less tragic.
20:42
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I know, but I am saying that
20:44
Speaker 2: that they did volunteer to go there.
20:46
Speaker 6: I understand that, but the mission.
20:48
Speaker 2: Now I get on. You and I are on the
20:50
Speaker 2: same page.
20:51
Speaker 6: You've got the president and the mayor at odds over this.
20:56
Speaker 2: So if this were to have happened in Charleston, all right,
20:58
Speaker 2: when you were mayor, and let's say that Charleston had
21:01
Speaker 2: the horrific crime rates and things that DC and some
21:04
Speaker 2: of these other cities have had. If the President of
21:07
Speaker 2: the United States contacted Mayor Danny Jones and said we're
21:11
Speaker 2: sending National Guard troops in, what would you have done them?
21:17
Speaker 6: I'm a different kind of mayor. I was just different
21:21
Speaker 6: on that. I say, if if our crime is that
21:24
Speaker 6: bad and you're ready to let us have the resources
21:30
Speaker 6: of the national Guard, national Guard can't arrest anybody, I'd
21:36
Speaker 6: say send them. But now we're dealing with mayor that
21:39
Speaker 6: don't want them. Right, And even though Mayor Bowser is
21:47
Speaker 6: that what is that or not, she's had to admit
21:49
Speaker 6: that the crime's gone down since they've been there.
21:52
Speaker 2: I was very interested in watching one of the press conferences,
21:55
Speaker 2: and it may have been Thanksgiving morning that I saw it.
22:00
Speaker 2: And she was listening to the officials from the Trump
22:05
Speaker 2: UH organization or the judge of Japiro and and Cash
22:10
Speaker 2: Mattel was there, and just the expression on her face
22:14
Speaker 2: when she was saying, you know, when the judge was saying, well,
22:18
Speaker 2: you know, crime is out of control and you know,
22:21
Speaker 2: uh and uh and we had to do something, and
22:23
Speaker 2: that that's your city. I mean, I'm not saying that
22:25
Speaker 2: she's right or wrong, but I'm saying that's that's your city.
22:28
Speaker 2: I mean, if you were mayor, you probably wouldn't take
22:30
Speaker 2: too kindly of you know.
22:31
Speaker 6: Now I might step up and say something.
22:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you would.
22:36
Speaker 5: Up.
22:38
Speaker 6: Now you've got him, like the mayor of Chicago. I mean,
22:41
Speaker 6: he's he's incompetent. Johnson is his name. I believe Brandon
22:49
Speaker 6: somebody he's a mayor of ok He's completely incompetent and
22:56
Speaker 6: he Uh. There's one part of Chicago there's bad. Most
23:02
Speaker 6: of Chicago is really neat.
23:03
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, isn't that true of any city? I Mean,
23:06
Speaker 2: for the.
23:07
Speaker 6: Most part, Inglewood is bad. It's just California. No in
23:11
Speaker 6: they don't know Chicago. It's a part of Chicago, and
23:16
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's just bad. And there are people
23:23
Speaker 6: that live there and I've seen this on YouTube where
23:28
Speaker 6: they have these these natives of people that live in
23:36
Speaker 6: Inglewood are really getting on the mayor. They want the
23:40
Speaker 6: National Guard. He doesn't want it. Politically, they don't want it.
23:46
Speaker 6: Pritzker and and people talk about putting Pritchzecker in the
23:52
Speaker 6: White House. Do you know how broke Illinois is? You
23:56
Speaker 6: have any idea? They have the worst. But between them
24:00
Speaker 6: and New Jersey, they have the worst pension deficit of
24:05
Speaker 6: any state. Of their pensions for government workers, they're the
24:11
Speaker 6: worst there or New Jersey one of the two, it'd
24:14
Speaker 6: be a tough it'd be a tough competition.
24:18
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, Danny, your opinion of the way
24:20
Speaker 2: the President is handling the death of the National Guard folks.
24:25
Speaker 2: Of course, he invited the families of both to come.
24:27
Speaker 2: There were some talk that he said he would consider
24:29
Speaker 2: going to the funeral. I don't. I don't think that's
24:33
Speaker 2: going to happen. But he has said he would invite
24:34
Speaker 2: the families of both of the one that was killed
24:38
Speaker 2: and one that distilling. He would invite the families. They
24:40
Speaker 2: are not sure whether they would go or not, but
24:42
Speaker 2: he said he would invite them. But there's been many
24:45
Speaker 2: people that have said the way he has handled this
24:48
Speaker 2: is doing what Trump does, which is making it all
24:51
Speaker 2: about himself.
24:52
Speaker 6: Well that's not unusual.
24:54
Speaker 2: I mean, Donald, in my opinion, Donald Trump has not
24:58
Speaker 2: changed one bit from Donald Trump's citizen to Donald Trump politician.
25:01
Speaker 2: I mean, this was who Donald Trump was long before
25:04
Speaker 2: he ever came down that escalator.
25:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, he wants to, and he does want to make
25:10
Speaker 6: it about himself, but you have to think, what if
25:14
Speaker 6: it was President Obama or President Biden, they might do
25:18
Speaker 6: the very same thing.
25:23
Speaker 2: I don't and that's not me being part of it.
25:26
Speaker 6: Let's forget Biden. Okay, how about how about President Obama.
25:30
Speaker 6: Do you think they were to invite him to the
25:31
Speaker 6: White House?
25:32
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, oh, I think I think he probably would,
25:34
Speaker 2: and I think Reagan would have too. But I'm saying
25:37
Speaker 2: the way the statements that they've made and the thing
25:42
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the
25:45
Speaker 2: things that Donald Trump says, you know, because he's Donald Trump,
25:50
Speaker 2: and that's what he says, but just some of the
25:51
Speaker 2: things what he said about Pritzker, you know, calling Tim
25:56
Speaker 2: Walls the R word that you can't say anymore, you know, Yeah,
26:01
Speaker 2: I can't see Obama or Reagan doing something like that.
26:05
Speaker 6: Well we have. He has normalized vulgarity public public figures.
26:15
Speaker 6: Politicians are now using it. And Nancy Mays used it
26:20
Speaker 6: the other night on on a few weeks ago on
26:24
Speaker 6: on Bill Maher. I guess I realize that's a different format.
26:28
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's well, but I mean, but.
26:30
Speaker 6: She's running for governor South Carolina. I'm not sure i'd
26:34
Speaker 6: have said that choose the up bomb. I mean, I'm
26:37
Speaker 6: not sure it's a good idea.
26:39
Speaker 2: What and what we're learning now about the person that
26:42
Speaker 2: that committed this act, he appears to have been, you know, radicalized.
26:48
Speaker 2: They said he's got major issues. You know, his work
26:51
Speaker 2: permits all expired. Depression, that word has been thrown out there.
26:56
Speaker 2: He would disappear for days at a time and come back,
27:00
Speaker 2: and you know, and then of course we're all playing
27:02
Speaker 2: the blame game right now. You know, the pointing, well
27:04
Speaker 2: it was it's because of Biden that he was here.
27:07
Speaker 2: But but he was there, you know, the Trump administration
27:11
Speaker 2: had some involvement in this, and on the TV talk
27:13
Speaker 2: shows over the weekend. I eventually just had to turn
27:16
Speaker 2: it off yesterday morning because it was just one side,
27:19
Speaker 2: you know, you know, the what about ism and so
27:21
Speaker 2: it's this person's fault, it's that person's fault. Whatever. Bottom
27:24
Speaker 2: line is two people too, West Virginians lost their lives.
27:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and.
27:34
Speaker 2: Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry. One person lost their lives,
27:36
Speaker 2: so they defy I'm sorry.
27:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, one person. Yeah, but I there's so much noise
27:49
Speaker 6: out there, you know that you you uh, it's hard
27:55
Speaker 6: to get through to it, and people talk over each other.
28:03

28:06
Speaker 2: Yes?

34:49
Speaker 2: Called it as well. They were the warm wedge, and
34:51
Speaker 2: it's what There's two things meteorologists will tell you. It's
34:56
Speaker 2: this warm wedge that sets up in the Canaw Valley
34:58
Speaker 2: that keeps a lot of us from getting the big
35:01
Speaker 2: snows okay, and which is fine with me because I
35:03
Speaker 2: detested okay.
35:05
Speaker 6: Uh.
35:05
Speaker 2: But people also say it's the uh uh, it's the
35:08
Speaker 2: ghost of carbide, you know, that keeps the man with
35:11
Speaker 2: their away. I don't know what it is, but but look,
35:13
Speaker 2: it is going to be slick in some areas tomorrow,
35:16
Speaker 2: so use caution because we're the meteorologist. Tell us we're
35:19
Speaker 2: gonna have uh so you're gonna of colder temperatures. We're
35:22
Speaker 2: gonna have cold rain and there's a possibility that it
35:25
Speaker 2: could turn in and it is definitely going to snow tomorrow,
35:28
Speaker 2: but it looks like it's going to be too warm
35:30
Speaker 2: to stick. Famous last words and the famous last words.
35:32
Speaker 2: But you guys in the city, you'll be ready for
35:34
Speaker 2: it regardless.
35:35
Speaker 11: We're putting the we're putting the spreaders on right now.
35:37
Speaker 11: So that's the that's what's going on today. We won't
35:39
Speaker 11: be doing leaf pick up today and tomorrow just because
35:42
Speaker 11: we're getting the trucks ready for the snow.
35:45
Speaker 2: You know, same same weather report you got.
35:47
Speaker 11: But you know, I don't think the last note we
35:50
Speaker 11: got a couple of weeks ago what it's supposed to
35:51
Speaker 11: be as bad. So you know, we just we prepare
35:53
Speaker 11: for the worst and hope for the best. Well, and
35:55
Speaker 11: it's here to be safe.
35:56
Speaker 2: Today is the first day of December. It's meteorological winter,
35:59
Speaker 2: is what they tell Let's because the first day of
36:01
Speaker 2: winter isn't officially till a few weeks from now, but
36:03
Speaker 2: from the meteorologist, today is the first day of winter.
36:05
Speaker 2: So okay, there you go. I learned I learned that
36:09
Speaker 2: by watching Brian Hughes so there you go. Well we'll
36:12
Speaker 2: fact check it.
36:14
Speaker 8: All right.
36:15
Speaker 2: So do you have a good Thanksgiving?
36:16
Speaker 11: I had a great Thanksgiving, had family in town, so
36:19
Speaker 11: it was a nice a nice Thursday, and then Friday
36:23
Speaker 11: and Saturday, just hanging out with all my close friends
36:27
Speaker 11: in downtown Charleston.
36:28
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, yeah, I'm gonna talk about Small
36:30
Speaker 2: Business Saturday a little bit because I happen to be
36:33
Speaker 2: in Charleston, a rare Dave Allan appearance in Charleston on
36:37
Speaker 2: the weekends. But but but now I was. I was
36:39
Speaker 2: in Charleston on on Saturday, and I had to had
36:42
Speaker 2: to go harassed Tony to Taylor a little bit, you know.
36:45
Speaker 2: I mean, and I know the other stores did really
36:47
Speaker 2: well too. At one point around eleven o'clock, you couldn't
36:51
Speaker 2: have not gotten another person at Tony's shop. Yeah, I mean,
36:54
Speaker 2: that's how many. That's how many people were there. And
36:56
Speaker 2: uh and I did. I went back home to Tay's
36:59
Speaker 2: Valley and went to an event at Valley Park in
37:01
Speaker 2: an area thirty four. Looks like Small Business Saturday was
37:05
Speaker 2: a pretty pretty big success.
37:07
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, we I've heard only great things, I think,
37:09
Speaker 11: you know, and I'll give Tony the credit he deserves.
37:12
Speaker 11: You know, Tony works hard into marketing that day, and
37:15
Speaker 11: that he was the first.
37:16
Speaker 2: He'll tell you, yeah, because Tony loves to talk about him.
37:18
Speaker 6: So I know.
37:20
Speaker 2: Tony was the first merchant in Charleston to take part
37:24
Speaker 2: years and years ago.
37:25
Speaker 11: Yeah, but I think, I mean, even even leading up
37:27
Speaker 11: to it, I think a lot has to do. There's
37:29
Speaker 11: a you know you, I heard you and Mary Jones
37:31
Speaker 11: talking about a sort of the political side of thing
37:33
Speaker 11: of all the noise out there were The same thing's
37:34
Speaker 11: true with with shopping and retail right now.
37:36
Speaker 2: There's a lot of noise to get through.
37:37
Speaker 11: There's every other ad on Facebook is by this hoodie,
37:40
Speaker 11: buy this white shirt. By that I mean, so to
37:42
Speaker 11: be able for a small business to get through right
37:44
Speaker 11: now is very difficult to do. And we have a
37:46
Speaker 11: lot of really good ones who know how to market
37:47
Speaker 11: themselves and take advantage of that. And I think that
37:50
Speaker 11: that showed this weekend as they and they had they
37:52
Speaker 11: had successful days. It's great to hear the same thing
37:54
Speaker 11: out in the valley because you know what we want
37:57
Speaker 11: and we tall we say this all the time. If
37:59
Speaker 11: you're in if you're in another city, if you want
38:01
Speaker 11: to go from one part of Columbus to the other.
38:02
Speaker 11: That's basically one from Charleston to Barbersville, right, I mean,
38:05
Speaker 11: so we want people up and down the I sixty
38:07
Speaker 11: four corrid or going to all these businesses because they
38:09
Speaker 11: make a day out of it, and that's that's beneficial
38:11
Speaker 11: to everybody.
38:11

38:47
Speaker 2: really excited about it.
38:48
Speaker 11: I think it's it looks like it's gonna We're gonna
38:50
Speaker 11: get good football weather. And I know the I talked
38:53
Speaker 11: to Timbrady over the weekend. I know they're prepared and
38:55
Speaker 11: ready and ready for everybody coming to town.
38:58
Speaker 2: And I think it was it was good.
38:59
Speaker 11: There were a couple It's not really my area of expertise,
39:02
Speaker 11: but there are a couple of surprises in terms of
39:04
Speaker 11: who's coming down.
39:05
Speaker 2: So I think that's good.
39:05
Speaker 11: It's always fun, and I think they do a really
39:08
Speaker 11: good job or I know they do a really good
39:09
Speaker 11: job over there taking care of the kids and their
39:12
Speaker 11: families when they come to town. So really excited about it.
39:15
Speaker 11: We've loved having the football championships. We loved having cheer championships.
39:18
Speaker 11: We had volleyball, then cheer and then heading into football,
39:21
Speaker 11: which has been a great few weeks for state high
39:23
Speaker 11: school championships in Charleston with football sort of being the
39:28
Speaker 11: end of it for this season at least. And we're
39:30
Speaker 11: really excited about it because it does bring a lot
39:32
Speaker 11: of people into the city. It brings a lot of
39:33
Speaker 11: people downtown. It also takes a lot of people. I know,
39:37
Speaker 11: the biggest days of the year last year over the
39:39
Speaker 11: ballpark for like the night we're during the state high
39:41
Speaker 11: school FOOTBA championship, so I know they're excited about.
39:43
Speaker 2: It well, and we always want to see the local
39:45
Speaker 2: teams in it, you know, but there's something to be
39:48
Speaker 2: said too from the ones that are coming from far
39:50
Speaker 2: away that may not normally, normally wouldn't be coming from
39:56
Speaker 2: the Eastern Panhandle or the Morgantown area or whatever, it
39:59
Speaker 2: may not be coming to Charleston and to be able
40:01
Speaker 2: to go down and see the trees downtown or go
40:04
Speaker 2: to uh to the Yeah, we like like tonight when
40:07
Speaker 2: we won the high school championships.
40:09
Speaker 11: No matter what it is, you look at it and again,
40:11
Speaker 11: whatever teams come come, congratulations to them. But from the
40:13
Speaker 11: city's perspective, and I know the cv B, we like
40:15
Speaker 11: a good mix, you know, having a couple of local
40:17
Speaker 11: teams we know will be big ticket sales days and
40:20
Speaker 11: people will be there and you'll see a lot of fans,
40:22
Speaker 11: and then having you know, those who come in to
40:23
Speaker 11: travel to Charleston who aren't usually here, staying in hotels
40:26
Speaker 11: and visiting for the first time. We like to have
40:28
Speaker 11: that mix, so and I think that's always a good
40:31
Speaker 11: balance because you really want a it's fun when the
40:34
Speaker 11: local teams are in it because we all know what
40:35
Speaker 11: your cheer for them. But at the same time, we
40:37
Speaker 11: do like people to experience Charleston and stay in our
40:39
Speaker 11: hotel rooms, eat our restaurants.
40:40
Speaker 2: And the ones that and let's face it, I mean,
40:43
Speaker 2: the ones that are coming from far away are more
40:45
Speaker 2: than likely not going to just come for their game
40:48
Speaker 2: and leave. I mean, at least if they don't spend
40:49
Speaker 2: the night, they are going to grab some dinner. They
40:53
Speaker 2: are going to and we encourage all of those people
40:55
Speaker 2: to go to light the night, to go downtown and
40:57
Speaker 2: see what you got going on, shop some of these
40:58
Speaker 2: local businesses while you're here as one.
41:00
Speaker 11: Absolutely I mean and again, like I said, that's the
41:02
Speaker 11: key is we want people to come to town. We
41:03
Speaker 11: want them to stay as long as they want to stay.
41:06
Speaker 11: And not only that, but what we like when we
41:09
Speaker 11: get these when we get these championships, is people do
41:11
Speaker 11: get to see what's going on. And maybe it is
41:13
Speaker 11: a couple hours away. I know Morgan Town's in it,
41:15
Speaker 11: right so there I'll use them an example. They are
41:17
Speaker 11: a couple hours away, two two and a half hours away,
41:19
Speaker 11: depending on how you like to drive it.
41:21
Speaker 2: But if they have a good time in Charleston.
41:22
Speaker 11: That's an easy you know, weekend, bring the kids back down,
41:25
Speaker 11: go go downtown if you don't have time, go over
41:27
Speaker 11: the ballpark, shop local, do all that kind of stuff.
41:30
Speaker 2: And that's an easy trip if people get to experience
41:31
Speaker 2: Charleston once.
41:32
Speaker 11: The one thing we know about it is is we
41:33
Speaker 11: can get them to come back, which the hard part
41:35
Speaker 11: is getting to come here first.
41:36
Speaker 2: And you got their Mountain your basketball team, yep, that's
41:38
Speaker 2: on Saturday as well. So they're playing Wake Forest. It's
41:41
Speaker 2: Kyle Seeman Convention Center.
41:42
Speaker 11: Yeap on Saturday. I think there are a handful of
41:44
Speaker 11: tickets left. I certainly wouldn't wait till Saturday. I think
41:47
Speaker 11: they opened some more tickets up, so I think there's
41:49
Speaker 11: still a few tickets left for them.
41:50
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be really cool if people would
41:52
Speaker 2: could come down to see their local team and then
41:55
Speaker 2: take in them out in their game. Why if you
41:56
Speaker 2: talk about somebody, you know, a school that's maybe an
42:00
Speaker 2: not from the Morgantown area, but somebody that's you know
42:02
Speaker 2: coming in too, you know that may not get a
42:05
Speaker 2: chance to see their team play, and the Mountaineers too.
42:07
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think it's again, it's in and
42:10
Speaker 11: the Marior says, at all the time, it's tons of
42:11
Speaker 11: things to see and do, and that's what we look
42:13
Speaker 11: for in Charleston. So having them all together works out
42:16
Speaker 11: really well. You know a lot of times and you
42:18
Speaker 11: and I talked about this, and I know you've talked
42:19
Speaker 11: about it with Tim. People always say, well this you know,
42:22
Speaker 11: this day is my event. No, we want multiple events,
42:25
Speaker 11: things going on at the same time so we can
42:27
Speaker 11: make an entire experience for people. That's really what sets
42:30
Speaker 11: us apart when people look at destinations to travel is
42:34
Speaker 11: having tons of things to see and do, and that's
42:36
Speaker 11: what we're building to and this weekend will be a
42:37
Speaker 11: perfect example of that.
42:38
Speaker 2: All right, I think we've got a call for you,

Speaker 11: six o'clock.
47:16
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's really exciting. It's a really fun day
47:18
Speaker 2: in town.
47:19
Speaker 11: And you know a lot I know, there are a
47:21
Speaker 11: lot of great Christmas parades that go on throughout the
47:23
Speaker 11: entire community, and you know, catch as many as you can.
47:26
Speaker 2: But we really are excited about the parade.
47:28
Speaker 11: This year, we were at about one hundred and twenty
47:30
Speaker 11: five entries, though I think we're a little bit above
47:32
Speaker 11: that right now.
47:33
Speaker 2: So it's going to be really excited.
47:34
Speaker 11: We've got a lot of youth groups, a lot of
47:37
Speaker 11: kid groups in it this year, and that's what makes
47:38
Speaker 11: it really fun is when the kids get to go
47:40
Speaker 11: out and have a good time. So we'll start, well,
47:43
Speaker 11: the prep's already begun we'll start weather monitoring here soon
47:46
Speaker 11: and make sure everything's going to be okay. But no,
47:48
Speaker 11: it's a really fun time I think, you know, having
47:50
Speaker 11: kicked off the holiday season this weekend with Holly Jolly
47:53
Speaker 11: Brawley and everything downtown Friday and Saturday night, everything going
47:56
Speaker 11: over to the ballpark and then the Christmas Parade. I
47:59
Speaker 11: do want to mention I saw some comments on Facebook.
48:01
Speaker 11: The Christmas trees and the light show and everything stay
48:04
Speaker 11: in Slack Plaza and downtown Charleston throughout the entire holiday season,
48:08
Speaker 11: so I know some folks I saw were a little disappointed
48:11
Speaker 11: that only lasted two days.
48:12
Speaker 2: The kickoff event only last two days.
48:14
Speaker 11: Yeah, trees stay up all all season and come down
48:17
Speaker 11: right after the first of the year, so it is
48:19
Speaker 11: something to come down to. It was a really great
48:21
Speaker 11: time this weekend. A little bit cold, but that's okay.
48:23
Speaker 11: It's Christmas time.
48:24
Speaker 2: And how many trees do you have done there ally Broadley?
48:27
Speaker 2: One sixty? No, that's not right somewhere in there, because
48:30
Speaker 2: I had the mayor on the midday show last week
48:32
Speaker 2: and she talked about how it started with you know,
48:34
Speaker 2: what was it like ten twelve something like that.
48:36
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I think it's about about one hundred and
48:38
Speaker 11: fifty or so now, and I mean.
48:40
Speaker 2: Spread out throughout.
48:41
Speaker 11: It's all all city Center, Slack Plaza, all up broadly
48:44
Speaker 11: walk Away into Lee Triangle. It was just a really
48:46
Speaker 11: great event, and it's what's really nice about it. And
48:49
Speaker 11: I'm not, you know, nobody who ever accused me of
48:51
Speaker 11: being a social butterfly. So this sounds a little bit weird,
48:53
Speaker 11: but you know, when I went out Friday and walked around,
48:56
Speaker 11: I didn't really even know anybody, and that was not
48:59
Speaker 11: an that's just because it's a lot of different people
49:01
Speaker 11: that come to town.
49:02
Speaker 2: I know, it's a lot of people who used to
49:03
Speaker 2: live here who come back and be with family, or
49:05
Speaker 2: folks who come in from out of town to visit.
49:07
Speaker 11: It's not your you know, usually you go to events
49:10
Speaker 11: in town and you you know, Charleston's a small place, Westernian,
49:12
Speaker 11: small place.
49:12
Speaker 2: You know a lot of folks.
49:13
Speaker 11: It was good to see a lot of people that
49:14
Speaker 11: you don't normally see it events, and I think that
49:16
Speaker 11: was great. I know, the mayor talk to a couple
49:17
Speaker 11: of folks from out of town, one couple from Texas,
49:20
Speaker 11: another another in from Michigan, another in from Ohio. My
49:24
Speaker 11: cousin lives over in Lexton, Kentucky, but it's a holiday
49:26
Speaker 11: tradition to them to go to Holly Jolly Bradley. So
49:29
Speaker 11: it is nice to get to see a lot of
49:30
Speaker 11: people who from out of the area come downtown because,
49:33
Speaker 11: like we talked about before, it's just getting them here,
49:35
Speaker 11: getting them into our shops.
49:36
Speaker 2: The vendor market was great. So it was a lot
49:38
Speaker 2: of fun.
49:39
Speaker 11: That'll lead us into the Christmas Parade on December eleventh,
49:42
Speaker 11: starting at seven pm, and really really excited. I just
49:46
Speaker 11: got a text one hundred and sixty four Christmas teah. Yeah, yeah,
49:50
Speaker 11: so's It really is a magical time in the city
49:54
Speaker 11: and a lot of fun even for you know, somebody
49:56
Speaker 11: like me who doesn't.
49:57
Speaker 2: Head out a lot. It's just it's just a lot
49:59
Speaker 2: of fun. I get to see everybody and get to
50:00
Speaker 2: see all the kids, really excited. Show is awesome. Capital
50:03
Speaker 2: Market is bumping on Saturday to My wife and I
50:05
Speaker 2: were at Capital Market Saturday, had lunch over there and
50:08
Speaker 2: it was it was it was bumping too. Texas. Who
50:11
Speaker 2: controls the stop lights on the Iowa Street and West
50:14
Speaker 2: Washington Street intersection, It's ridiculous waiting for three minutes at
50:17
Speaker 2: a red light at five am, but no other traffic.
50:20
Speaker 2: There has to be adjustable timing or sensor, so the
50:22
Speaker 2: wait isn't so long. Say it again, all right, Iowa
50:26
Speaker 2: Street and West Washington Street intersection. Okay, yeah, we'll take
50:29
Speaker 2: a look at it.
50:29
Speaker 11: I mean, state controls stop lights and the timing, but
50:31
Speaker 11: we can make requests to him.
50:32
Speaker 2: So yeah, we've got that. This is an issue that
50:34
Speaker 2: happens in other cities too. A big shout out to
50:37
Speaker 2: Mayor Edwards and Hurricane because he gets a lot of
50:39
Speaker 2: complaints on social media about that and a lot of
50:42
Speaker 2: times these things are they are controlled by the state,
50:45
Speaker 2: whether it's a road project or whether it's stop lights, whatever,
50:48
Speaker 2: but the city can make requests, can put a request
50:51
Speaker 2: in on it. So you have counsel tonight. We have
50:53
Speaker 2: counsel tonight, very light counsel tonight.
50:55
Speaker 11: Oddly enough, we you know sometimes to where we have
50:58
Speaker 11: the you know, the open meetings law. We got to
51:00
Speaker 11: publish the agenda a certain time before, so when you
51:02
Speaker 11: were off Thursday and Friday, we got to publish on Monday,
51:04
Speaker 11: so we didn't get to get some bids in.
51:05
Speaker 2: It's time to publish. So we've got one item on
51:07
Speaker 2: the agenda.
51:08
Speaker 11: We've been working with counsel Councilwoman Caitlyn Cook, Counselman Joe Jenkins,
51:13
Speaker 11: Counselman Chad Robinson, and the mayor have been working on
51:15
Speaker 11: an ordinance to prohibit fireworks in public parks. So we're
51:20
Speaker 11: gonna run that this week, try to get ahead up
51:22
Speaker 11: for New Year. So that's the only item on the
51:24
Speaker 11: agenda to night, so we'll see how it goes.
