1:49
little bit later on in the show, General Chris Walker. He is a
1:53
candidate for Congress and District two. He is going to join us a little
1:57
bit later on in the show. Plus the announcement made yesterday that Charleston is
2:01
getting what was the Super six. I don't know what the new name is
2:05
going to be, but Tim Brady it's a big win for Charleston. Tim
2:08
Brady from the CVB is going to join us to talk about that and the
2:12
story that is making literally international headlines. Hooters in Kanaw City, of course,
2:17
closed in twenty twenty I think it was, and now the building is
2:23
going to be demolished. A couple of guys from here in the valley said
2:24
we want to do a candlelight vigil. This thing started out kind of tongue
2:29
in cheek, small that has gone world wide, with newspapers in London reporting
2:34
on at TMZ, CNN, Fox News. One of the organizers, Leo
2:38
Brownie, is going to join us to talk about that a little bit later
2:40
on, plus your calls and text we'll get to those a little bit.
2:43
I want to bring in Jeff Jenkinson now from the newsroom. Jeff, good
2:46
morning, Thanks for joining us yesterday. It just seems like the charlestonarry can't
2:50
get a break. We had a problem with the gas issue a couple of
2:52
months ago, and then we have all kinds of chaos and Kanas City yesterday
2:54
with water talk about it. Yeah, you know this this will happen time
2:59
to time when a contractor unassociated with the water company will break a line.
3:04
And that's what happened. It's the contract was working on our road project.
3:07
You know, there's been a lot of construction in Kanas City on mccorkor Avenue
3:12
in different areas, and so a contractor was working there yesterday morning around mid
3:16
morning and hit a water line and that that happened to be an important water
3:23
line, a main, and I'm sure folks have seen and we had a
3:29
photo on our website Dell Cooper Coopolis over in that area and you can see
3:32
the mess it made and it was really close to Kanas City Elementary School.
3:37
So that's that's where it happened, just near the backside of the school.
3:42
And it calls you know, water disruption for basically that whole area including c
3:46
amc and UH and and then also it impacted some water pressure that even goes
3:53
across the river to the Maulden area and Campbell's Creek area. But by late
3:59
last night they some people started to get on and the hope of the water
4:02
company was to have everybody back on by eight o'clock this morning, and then
4:06
so there's still a precautionary or a borol of water advisory as there typically is
4:12
that associated with a break like this. All right, so but we are
4:15
everything's looking good over there right as far as we know, but there is
4:17
a morel water vesterry. How did it affect school over there this well,
4:19
yeah, they you know, I don't have it in front of me here,
4:23
Dave, but but you know it closed every all school's over there yesterday
4:28
and including Malden Elementary let out early because because of that out So it was
4:34
Yeah, it was definitely definitely a headache and just a lot of water if
4:39
you saw it, I mean it was springing up. There was a ton
4:41
of water that was lost. Before I let you go, I'm going to
4:45
get your opinion. Totally unrelated to this, the announcement Jeff yesterday that the
4:48
s SAC make and that announcement that the Super six they're now Super eight,
4:53
Elite eight whatever it is, are going to credate Grade eight is coming back
4:56
to Charleston. What do you think about it? I think it's a I
5:00
mean, what a what a victory for Charleston here. You know, when
5:03
you when you talk about the four bids and Wheelings had it so long.
5:08
Uh. You know, congratulations to Tim Brady and the advisory team, uh
5:13
that that helped put that bid together. And you know, the S S
5:15
A C. And Tim will talk about this. You know, they visited
5:17
every site. Uh. And you know, Tim is familiar with what Wheeling's
5:23
done. I mean he's been to several Super sixes and in different capacities,
5:26
and so he knows what Wheeling's done. And I you know, I think
5:29
you know some of what things things they've been successful with. We're including Charleston's
5:32
bid. Charleston's going to replicate some of those things. And uh, when
5:36
I talked to him yesterday and said, you know, because there will be
5:41
skeptics and you always see some of the skepticism that people say, oh Charleston
5:46
and you know lay Field and you know those type of things, and there
5:49
needs to be some improvements made. But that's part you know, that's part
5:53
of it. Uh and uh. And in so now Charleston has a chance.
5:58
I mean, if if they perform well in the three years, they
6:00
get the fourth year, that's the right. Yeah, that's the deal.
6:02
So you know, you know when you look at Regatta, you look at
6:08
you know the success of the lights over there. You know during the Christmas
6:12
seasons, the cycling thing, the cycle, the USA Cycling thing in May
6:16
you know, the shows that have come to the Costume and Convention Center.
6:20
I mean it's just another it's another you know, significant announcement for the City
6:26
of Charles. Charleston's killing it right now. Yeah, it is good,
6:29
all right, Jeff, I appreciate it, man. Thanks, Okay.

Hannah Gardner from the Cannege charlest new main association with this week's adopt Me Please
6:49
pet of the Week. Hannah, good morning, welcome to the show.
6:53
Good morning, how you I am doing fine? Thank you for being here
6:56
now. As always our adopt me please put it the week's photo post on
7:00
social media. Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and on AXI artists formally known as
7:03
Twitter. You can check out at Dave a seventy of the Day Allen Show.
7:06
There tell us the story of June Hannah all Right, So, June
7:15
she came into us as a cruelty neglect arrest case. I'm not exactly sure
7:23
what the original case was. A cruelty neglect arrest hold on a dog could
7:29
be an actual case, or it could be something just like the owner had
7:35
went to jail overnight, or something totally unrelated to any kind of neglect or
7:42
anything like that. So it could be a different variety of things. But
7:45
she did come into us because of that. And she is very very sweet,
7:53
very very very friendly. She's playful, she prefers playful dogs. Herself
8:00
on the leaf a little bit, she's still learning on the leaf, so
8:03
she is younger. She's about a year old. A year and maybe I
8:09
think fourish or faverished months is what they have her at. She's not fixed
8:15
yet, but she definitely will be. If not before she goes home,
8:18
then definitely we will get her on the surgey schedule and have to bring her
8:22
back. But she is a social butterclass is very very sweet. She's very
8:26
very like I said, she is playful, but she has calm too.
8:31
She looks to chill and hang out as well. But she definitely is very
8:35
food motivated. So if you have treats and you want to train her some
8:39
stuff, so light ahead, because I'm sure that those treats will definitely get
8:43
her attention. Well, she is a beautiful, beautiful dog. Any idea
8:48
what kind of dog you may be? Not one hundred percent sure what kind
8:52
of dogs she would be. I know that she is on the smaller side.
8:56
She is around thirty to thirty three ish hou I think is what she's
9:01
sitting at right now. So while she I'm not sure if she may look
9:05
like a larger dog to anyone in a picture, but she's definitely on the
9:09
smaller side. If anybody has ever heard of a pocket pity, she's kind
9:15
of similar to that size. But she's probably got some pit in her.
9:22
She probably got some sort of terrier, some sort of like smaller terrier in
9:26
her as well. But she is a very good dog. She's very sweet,
9:31
and she has micro tipping vaccinated. She's just an all around good dog
9:35
and she is looking for her forever family, and she would be a good
9:39
one for a family as well, because she has shown to be good with
9:43
kids in our care. That's awesome. I mean, if you do again,
9:45
if you're a family or individual, whatever, I mean, let's just
9:48
get this dog dopted because it is an absolutely beautiful dog again. June is
9:52
her name or pictures posted on my social media Hannah. World Spade Day is
9:58
coming up on Tuesday. I know the can Trot Humine Association working with Fixed
10:01
Charleston talk about that. Yeah, So for World Say Day, I know
10:07
that we it's going to be We're going to have like a photo booth set
10:11
up. We're gonna have I believe Starbucks is even coming out and they're going
10:16
to have pub cups as well as drinks for people as well. I think
10:24
Rock City Cupcake is going to Rock City Cake Company is going to be there
10:28
for treats. I believe that it's going to be for human treats. Now,
10:33
is this going to be at the shelter? Yes, so it's going
10:37
to be at the shelter. It's going to be at Fixed Charleston. So
10:39
okay, it's all on there. The information is on our Facebook as well
10:46
as our website, I believe, so definitely check it out. It's going
10:50
to be amazing. It's going to help out with wellness. So if you
10:52
if you need help out with well miss, then definitely make the trip out.
10:56
It'll be definitely worth it. You can get a freeter for whenever you
11:01
want to make the appointment for that. Like I don't believe it's going to
11:05
be that day, but you just make the appointment for whenever you want to
11:09
and that is going to be a free spaan meter, So definitely take advantage
11:13
of it. Well, it's interesting that we'd be talking about that because it
11:16
just got a text for you to the show, but says, for Hannah,
11:18
we have four stray cats we feed every day. Do you know of
11:22
reduced price SPAE in newters anywhere right now? World Spay Day on Tuesday would
11:28
be a great opportunity. Again explain to the texture this morning what they need
11:31
to do. Yeah, so we do have a TNR program for cats.
11:37
However, I would honestly come on Tuesday because you can make an appointment for
11:43
all of them and it'll be the free spay neuter. They'll get their vaccines
11:48
as well if you need it. I believe that it is free DHPFC RCP,
11:56
which is the cat one vaccines, and then the reds are ten dollars
11:58
if you want the rabies, but the they and neuter are free. So
12:03
definitely come out on Tuesday and that would definitely be your best bet. All
12:07
right, Hannah, what do we need at the shelter? What do you
12:09
need of right now? Of course, we're always in need of blankets and
12:15
sheets and towels. We always need that. However, we definitely could use
12:18
some laundry detergent. We definitely could use some extra gloves. You could use
12:24
some dawn dish soap, and I know that. Like I said, we
12:30
could always use blankets and towels and sheets. But peuring a dog chow and
12:35
Peurina puppy chow. I think we're okay on puppy chowl, but peering a
12:41
dog chow is something that we definitely could use right now. All right,
12:43
Hannah, As always, I appreciate you being here. We'll talk again next
12:48
week. Thanks a lot, no problem, thank you. It is nine
12:50
twenty and again June is the dog in the spotlight this week. She is
12:54
a very very sweet girl. According to Hannah and everybody at the shelter.
12:58
She's one year old, micro chipped, not fixed yet but will be.
13:03
She is vaccinated. She's still learning the leash, but they say that she's
13:07
very, very kid friendly, loves to play and loves other playful dogs.
13:13
So if you're looking for a great family pent, June would be the dog
13:16
for you. And again you can learn more information just go take a look

Dave, what happened to all the birds scooters? Did they just fly south
16:59
for the winner or will they not be back for the spring and summer festivities
17:02
in Charleston. I had not thought about that. I don't know. I
17:04
may have to reach out to Councilmanimic Pepper about that. I am not not
17:10
sure. Text on the SSAC moving to Charleston, Texas. Those kids could
17:14
have played in D one stadiums if it was a Morgantown Huntington split, but
17:18
instead they're playing at Lowly Lately. Sad day for the kids, says a
17:22
text. When we get Tim Brady's take on that from the CVB coming up
17:26
a little bit later on, I want to welcome to the show now,
17:27
General Chris Walker. He's a candidate for Congress and district too, and he
17:30
joins us now via the big Ley Pickley Wiggly Hotline. Good morning, sir,
17:34
welcome to the show. Good morning, Good morning, Charleston. How's
17:38
everybody doing. Everybody's doing great. It's Friday, man, It's Friday,
17:44
huh, which if you're running for office, means absolutely nothing, right because
17:47
you're out on the campaign trail, right. We get no days off.
17:52
Oh my god, they're no day's office. It's just like being on a
17:56
deployment glove hour days. No days off exactly. And the weekends are the
18:00
busiest time, especially as the weather gets a little bit better. Now you're
18:03
a Republican running out of district too. At one time, West Virginia had
18:07
three congressional districts. Now we have two. So explain that district to us.
18:12
Well, we have the lower well, the most southern part would be
18:19
Clarkberg and Parkersburg. You work your way on north all the way to Morgantown
18:25
and up in the Wheeling and then over across to the eastern Panhandle, and
18:29
it also includes Elkins and that whole area too. You know. The thing
18:33
is, after they did the census and all the redistrict thing, there are
18:37
a lot of West Virginias who have no idea what district there. And so
18:41
that's another thing I do when I'm driving all around the state talking to people
18:45
and they go, what, I wish I could vote for you, because
18:48
but I don't think I'm a district too. Actually you are. So we
18:52
have to get that education out there well. And again, even though it's
18:56
not technically our listing area the way radio works now, sir, and what
19:00
is a listening area anyway? I mentioned folks earlier that we had someone listening
19:03
to the show in Brazil yesterday and they so thank God for streaming. And
19:07
I know this show is going all over the state right now. Tell us
19:10
a little bit about about Chris Walker. Give us your bio man, all
19:15
right. Well, I started out in the Air Force in nineteen eighty three
19:18
and lifted and then I did four years at the Air Force Academy and then
19:22
another thirty five years as an officer and traveled the world. I've actually fought
19:27
wars around the world. I've been in combat situations in the Middle East and
19:33
in Africa. I've actually lived in Japan for a while. But after Japan
19:40
is when I came to West Virginia and joined the one sixty seventh Airlift Wing
19:45
there in Martinsburg. And I came up there and the West Virginia Air National
19:48
Guard really really took care of me because my career culminated with being the commander
19:55
of the West Virginia Air National Guard. So with all of this, and
19:57
by the way, thank you for your service. By the way, sir,
20:00
with all of this, why are you running for Congress now? Well,
20:06
a couple of reasons. I cannot with all of the things going upside
20:11
down with his current administration, I can't trust an establishment person to go up
20:15
there and take care of West Virginia. And so I decided I need to
20:22
continue my fight and my and my savvy as as a warrior for West Virginia
20:32
and for the nation. I also said, hey, wait a minute,
20:37
we really need a senator, a governor, and a congressman from one family
20:42
running West Virginia. No, No, that that to me is establishment and
20:47
I'm anti establishment. I'm for the I'm for the people of West Virginia,
20:52
and I'm going to be a conservative fighter. Talky to Chris Walker again,
20:56
a candidate for Congress and district too, What are some of the biggest needs
21:00
of the area you represent, or, for that matter, if the entire
21:03
state of West Virginia. Because once you go to Washington, sir, you
21:04
are going to be representing the entire state of West Virginia, what do you
21:07
see as some of the biggest needs and say some things you want to get
21:11
done? All right, Well, first of all, I want to protect
21:15
our energy industry. I want to protect coal because that is actually a strategic
21:22
of fuel source, a strategic energy energy source, and we cannot let the
21:27
Left take that away. All of their policies are failing right now with all
21:33
of this so called Green New Deal stuff. We're not going to let that
21:37
happen to our West Virginians. They've already ruined our state enough. We're not
21:40
going to get it go let it go any further than that. Another thing
21:42
I'm going to concentrate on is securing our southern border because it hasn't affected West
21:48
Virginia a lot yet, but it will because with millions and millions of illegal
21:56
aliens coming in through our border since the frightened administration, they're going to eventually
22:00
end up in West Virginia and taking our resources and taking our hospitals. They're
22:07
we're not going to be giving them debit cards in West Virginia like they do
22:11
in New York. That god. But also with all of those coming in,
22:15
not all of them are refugees there. I know there are plenty of
22:19
them who are our military aids men from China, Yemen, Iran and other
22:27
countries like that that hate the United States, and they are positioning around our
22:33
country waiting for an attack if we go to war with China or Iran,
22:37
and so we cannot we cannot keep doing this, that we're permitting an invasion
22:42
into our country and it will affect West Virginians just as it will affect every
22:48
other American. We cannot let that happen. All the fentanel coming in through
22:52
the southern border that will affect West Virginia. These are things that I need
22:56
to get up there and stop talking with Chris Walker again, who's a candidate
23:02
for Congress and District two on the Republican Party of Dave Allen showing five any
23:04
Live. It is brought to you part by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest
23:07
injury law firm. How's the campaign been so far, Sarah? What have
23:11
you been hearing out on the campaign trail? Oh? My goodness, Okay,
23:15
so a lot of vets that I've been talking to. They've also been
23:19
asking me to help stop the wokeism happening in the military, and because some
23:26
of them are saying that they are not advising their sons and daughters to join
23:32
the military, and that that made my eyebrows rise. I said, wait
23:36
a minute, Actually, don't you think we should encourage our sons and daughters
23:41
to join the military and fight the wokeness from within? Because if we tell
23:45
them not to join the military, then China and Iran win. So but
23:51
these are the sort of things I'm hearing on the campaign trail. I'm also
23:53
hearing as everybody knows the economy, the economy, the economy. Look,
24:00
you know, gas prices are affecting West Virginians. They even though the Biden
24:06
administration tries to say, hey, look they're getting better, they are still
24:10
far higher than when we had Trump as president. And so again, having
24:14
energy independence in our country with natural gas, oil, and coal will keep
24:19
our country strong. There's you mentioned this earlier about some of the opposition that
24:26
you have in this race for Congress. And over the last several years there
24:30
has been a place not only in West Virginia we see on some state wide
24:36
races, but also of course we saw for president when the country went for
24:38
Donald Trump back in twenty sixteen. There seems to be a place or a
24:45
longing, if you will, for outsiders to take political offices. Do you
24:52
do you see yourself as an outsider? Sir? I definitely see myself as
24:56
an outsider right now? Holy smokes. I think West Virginia is rife,
25:03
rife with establishment, and the West Virginian people realize that, uh, and
25:10
they need somebody who's actually not going to be beholden to all of the other
25:15
establishment out there in the swamp. They need somebody who's gonna actually go up
25:19
there with brass knuckles and say here, this is what West Virginians want,
25:23
and this is what they're gonna get. Uh. We're not gonna, We're
25:26
not going to compromise, and we're not gonna we're not gonna settle for anything
25:30
less than what our constituents want. Uh. Where can people learn more about
25:37
your campaigns? If they want to learn more about you, your bio or
25:40
some things you stand for. Where can they learn more? They can go
25:44
to www dot Chris Walker or congress dot com. And before is actually fo
25:52
R not the number four? Okay, we're gonna give you the final thirty
25:55
seconds or as I do for every candidate that appears on the show. Why
25:59
should someone for Chris Walker for Congress? As Chris Walker is going to strengthen
26:06
our national defense, Chris Walker is going to help secure that southern border.
26:11
Chris Walker is gonna keep the left from touching our firearms because I'm an avid
26:18
gunner. And Chris Walker is going to also stop the indoctrination happening in our
26:23
schools. Well, I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to be
26:30
here today, sir, and again, thank you for your service and we
26:32
wish you the best out on the campaign trail. Thanks a lot, my
26:36
absolute pleasure effect. All right, Chris Walker again, he's a Republican candidate
26:40
for Congress in district too. In the heart of West Virginia, there exists
26:44
a profound force that goes beyond the realm of sports, transcending limitations and fostering
26:48
of sense of belonging. Talking about Special Olympics a remarkable initiative showcase of the
26:52
latest episode of West Virginia, enriched in collaboration with Huntington, it stands as
26:56
a testament to the power of determination, unity and unwaih Verene supports sea of
27:00
video highlighting the Special Olympics at Facebook dot com slash five adwhs and we I
27:06
got some text here, Okay, out a bunch. I want to try
27:11
to get the ones just pertaining to this interview. Text says, the guy
27:14
has the same talking points as every other Republican. Miller's going to smoke him.
27:18
Well, he's not running against Miller. He's in district too, and
27:21
so he's really when he referred when he's referring to the establishment, he's referring,
27:26
I'm presuming primarily to Riley Moore, who's current state treasurer, who's running
27:30
out of that district. There are others running, but I think that is
27:33
probably who he is referring to as the general, says the texture. If
27:36
it's cool for a presidential candidate to encourage Russia to do whatever the hell it
27:40
wants to a NATO ally that doesn't meet its defense spending targets, Why is
27:47
the general not running in this district? Way, he doesn't live in this
27:48
district. Again, he's up north as far as I know anyway, text
27:53
says, Dave, Really, this candidate is a lunatic. That's what the
27:57
texture said, not me. Tex says Chris Walker is a great guy and
28:02
a good candidate. He can't beat Riley Moore, but I really hope he
28:06
will stay involved and be willing to run again and maybe consider other offices where
28:10
he can be effective, says a Texture. Texas says, too bad,
28:15
we can't vote for Chris Walker talks a good game until he started talking in
28:18
third person, According to a texture, all right, let's see. I
28:25
do want to remind you that the todave Allan showing five eighty live is brought

32:46
He's alt right enough to appeal to the freaks, but too black for
32:51
them to accept him out according to a test. I'm not gonna ask you
32:54
to weigh in on that, I promise. As you may know, the
32:58
iconic Hooters in Kanah City closed a few years ago. I just you know,
33:04
COVID other business reasons. I don't know. It wasn't part of that.
33:07
The building itself, though, it's going to be torn down soon,
33:09
and a couple of guys from here in the valley were quite bothered by that,
33:13
upsett in fact, and decided to commemorate the occasion and all of the
33:16
memories of Hooters by holding a candlelight vigil to that. Leo Browning is one
33:22
of the guys, and it joined us now here in the Parmars Store studio.
33:24
Leo, good morning, Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave,
33:27
glad to meet you. Thank you for having me, Thank you for
33:30
being here. So talk about your fondness for Hooters. The restaurant that is.
33:34
Love Hooters. I love Hooters the restaurant too, So I've just been
33:40
going there so long. And once we caught word of this, it was
33:44
kind of tragic, to be honest with you. I mean, it was
33:46
man, we've been it was a place to where you could go to watch
33:49
sports, ate some wings, see pretty ladies, pretty much, you know.
33:52
So it's just an iconic figure in the local valley because there's nothing else
33:57
like it. Really, so tragic. The business itself, I understand,
34:01
closed in twenty twenty. Correct. Now word comes to the building itself is
34:06
going to be torn down, correct, So you're kind of seeing that as
34:08
part of your you know, your memories and whatever. So, I mean,
34:12
the building closing was one thing, but the building disappearing is something totally
34:15
different. Right. Yeah, There's been multiple occasions of businesses and establishments that
34:21
have closed, but they didn't rip down the actual physical structure. So once
34:25
the call w into that, it was like, wow, I remember when
34:29
we did this there, right when that happened there, and you know,
34:31
a lot of people, what in the world made you decide, okay,
34:35
let's have a candlelight visual strange, It was a strange event. What actually
34:40
what it was is we was working on a fundraiser that we have coming up
34:44
tomorrow, like a very serious one and uh, which, by the way,
34:47
I'll give you time to plug. Yeah, yeah, that's fine,
34:49
but go ahead. But we was looking for different We was looking online for
34:52
different places to get donations and stuff, and he just happened to come across
34:57
that on the internet. At the sign of the word a you're still hungry
35:00
or tired of waiting or whatever, that sign says, we don't pay attention
35:02
to that. But and he was like third tearing the building down. So
35:07
we just kind of stopped and looked at each other and was like, man,
35:12
so you know, like so many memories. And then I was like,
35:15
well, I'm going to make an event for this, Like we'll get
35:17
a few of our buddies and we'll just go down and hang out. Next
35:20
thing, you know, twenty eight states later. So I mean this,
35:24
I first saw it, like a lot of people did. I saw it
35:27
his event on Facebook and had I reached out to you, and I had
35:30
never matter of fact, we never met told just now we was talking to
35:32
them several times this week, but I just met you for the first time.
35:37
Just now. Were you prepared for how big this thing became? Because
35:42
it started out just as a little thing, you know, very heartfelt,
35:45
but a little bit of tongue in cheek to it as well. And the
35:46
next thing, you know, I mean, this thing is on CNN,
35:50
it's on Fox News, it's on TMZ. I mentioned yesterday that we had
35:54
a listener, a regular listener to the show in Brazil. Oh wow,
35:58
who listens to I didn't know that. So while sent us a message to
36:01
the w CCHS network Facebook page that he he had heard about it. It's
36:06
been picked up by newspapers in London, and as I said yesterday, this
36:09
is the London England, not the one in Kanah count the other London.
36:14
So I mean, we're did you, in your wildest imaginations, Leo,
36:17
think that this was going to be a thing, one big, one hundred
36:22
percent honesty? Never, never, in a million years. It was just
36:24
one of those things where the Internet runs its course and it just it's spread
36:30
like wildfire. I mean, and there's you know, there's always a and
36:35
B side of everything in life, and so you catch heat, you know,
36:37
a lot of heat, and then you got a lot of praise personally.
36:42
Yeah, like messages, personal messages people have sent me. You know,
36:45
why would people care? That's exactly what I don't understand, because they've
36:51
probably never ever been this iconic figure. Yeah, and it's I don't understand
36:54
what the deal is. I never will understand that. But I've also got
36:58
a lot of praise too. You know a lot of old friends that used
37:00
to go there, a lot of friends of mine that worked there, Hooters
37:04
employees in general, and not just the fact that it is a Hooters,
37:07
but thinking taking into account that all the people that lost their jobs, you
37:12
know what I mean. So that was pretty sad ordeal. So what exactly
37:15
is going to go on? This thing starts to six point thirty this evening,
37:17
Yes, so what exactly is gonna happen? So we're gonna show up
37:21
and we're gonna hunk for Hooters. We'll just have a few signs, bring
37:24
your own candles. I'll have a table set up. We're gonna hand down
37:29
some chicken wings with the Hooters traditional sauce. I have a limited amount of
37:32
the strip cheese sandwiches. Now one exactly are people that don't know what is
37:37
the strip cheese saying the striped cheese is the god of all sandwiches if you
37:39
ask me, because it's literally just chicken strips on toasted Texas toasts and melted
37:46
cheese all in the middle. I mean, it's just Texas toast and cheese.
37:51
You know what more could you want? God bless America chicken as some
37:53
chicken and you got it. So our sister station Night Eats of the Mountain
37:57
is going to be there too. Myself, I'll be there. He's going
38:00
to be there, and Steve Animal is going to be there with some Mountain
38:02
swag. He's got some all new Mountain t shirts that have Steve Animal on
38:07
them and so people have been wanting those. He's going to be handing those
38:08
out. The I fun fact though, and I mentioned this to the listeners
38:10
earlier, Steve actually did a live broadcast from there the day that Hooters opened.
38:16
And what we believe, because you know he did Annimal didn't have a
38:21
lot of brains on the life. We're assuming I think about ninety five ninety
38:23
six is when it opened over there, and he was on an unnamed station
38:27
here in the Canal Valley and did a live broadcast from there. So he's
38:30
going to be as the Coop said, he's going to bookend this thing.
38:32
Man. He started out at the very beginning, and it's going to be
38:35
there in the close. And that's why I was sure to let him know
38:37
he is an iconic figure for this because it was just meant to be so.
38:44
But I mean, are you expecting a lot of people tonight, man?
38:46
I mean, because with the internet you can't tell, like it's either
38:50
going to be fifty of my friends and our cornhole league or it's going to
38:53
be fifteen hundred. I don't know, So we'll just have to wait and
38:57
see. I honestly can't answer that. I'm looking forward to it. Think
39:00
it's too interesting to be some interesting Just be sure whoever does decide to show
39:05
up, you know, no outlandish activity. Now, there's not going to
39:07
be any public intoxication right when I'm looking for anything you want to do that,
39:12
you can go somewhere else and do it. This is not what we
39:14
just have an after party. This you have an after party somewhere at your
39:16
own house or one of the other establishments in the area. Not there.
39:20
We're not going to be drinking beer on the parking lot. Just saying farewell
39:22
to the Almighty, So exactly tell us about this fundraiser you got going on
39:27
here. Yeah, so tomorrow got another fundraiser in the local valley here at
39:30
the Chesapeake Volunteer Fire Department. What it is is a close friend of mine's
39:36
daughter, Faith Kender, has recently been diagnosed with a very very serious,
39:42
rare medical condition and no one on the East Coast can provide any type of
39:45
help or treatment. So we're trying. We've been trying for a month or
39:49
so to try to get her some travel expenses so that she can get to
39:52
California. That's the only place that will accept the treatment. And it's like
39:54
fifteen twenty grand just to see the doctors, not counting expenses. So wow,
40:00
an insurance you know how that goes. So this is going on tomorrow
40:02
with the chess is going on tomorrow. It's win all day event tomorrow is
40:06
starting in noon, Okay at the Chesapeak Volunteer for Fred to Wartment. Yep,
40:08
we're gonna give away door prizes. We'll have silent auctions that there will
40:13
be a kitchen and the old Bengo Hall is what it is. Okay,
40:15
they'll be yeah on there and the kitchen will be open. We're gonna have
40:19
a massive cornhole tournament. There will be twenty five thirty five teams, so
40:23
it's gonna be a lot of people there also as well. Is there a
40:25
place online you have a Facebook page for that or so have an event for
40:29
it? Yees? Okay, talk about that? Where can people find that?
40:30
To what? You just go on Facebook and type out it's all about
40:35
faith. That's that's the name of that event, because it is all about
40:37
face. If someone is coming out to the event tonight and would like to
40:42
donate to that, if they can't make it tomorrow, are you in the
40:45
position you're your partner to be able to maybe absolutely donations. Yes, we
40:47
will be accepting donations this evening as well. We'll have a little tip jar,
40:52
you know, so even if you can't make it tomorrow, and there's
40:54
also a go fund Me and I'll provide that link to you whenever when I
40:59
can. So all right, I got a question here for you. Someone
41:01
says, where do you plan to set up this? The entire block is
41:05
surrounded by construction fence, right, and that's the biggest question that I've been
41:09
you know, pounded with. So where when you pull in to Hooters how
41:15
you used to pull in basically where they're putting all the equipment, where the
41:20
gates are, there's enough, you know, there's a spot there. That's
41:22
why I've been attempting to try to get you know, whoever has the property
41:27
to just let us in on the property. But I can't get an answer
41:29
from them. So and please don't do anything stupid people. Yeah, we're
41:34
not. It's not a riot everyone, it's not a riot. So it's
41:37
a business decision. And that's not the way to pay tribute. Nothing like
41:42
that. We don't want to, like I said, we don't want anything
41:43
full each going or anything like that. So let me see. So it
41:49
says, shouldn't this Hooters location be on the Registry of National Historic Places?
41:53
After being decided of so many discussions about freedom with the late Governor Underwood,
41:59
a trying time for everyone who preferred Daytona style wings. That's one of the
42:04
comments that has realized, you know, like it it's a serious situation.
42:07
It's an iconic figure in the Kanaal Valley, it really is. It is.
42:12
And you think about the bike nights that have been held there, oh
42:14
my gosh, and the car washing, all the stuff. So it starts
42:17
at six point thirty this evening wrap up about eight. Again, our sister
42:22
station nine eighty seven of the Mountain is going to be there. We'll be
42:23
handing out to the new Mountain t shirts and whatnot. And I am very
42:28
interested in this charitable thing though that you're doing tomorrow. So again, if
42:31
you can't make it to Chestapeak tomorrow, this would be a great opportunity to

47:07
yesterday that the artists formerly known as the Super Six and Wheeling the State Football
47:10
Championship Weekend is coming back to the Capital City SSAC, making that announcement yesterday,
47:15
It'll be it Lately, or as it's now known, the University of
47:17
Charleston Stadium for at least the next three years. Jim Brady is the director
47:21
of the Charleston CVB, and I know he's short on time because he has
47:23
a meeting at ten. I'm only going to keep you on here a minute
47:25
or two. Ten Congratulations congratulations are in order. Thanks Dave Big day yesterday
47:34
when the announcement came down, If you would indulge me though for one second,
47:37
I just want to refer back to your previous segment, and you know
47:40
the conversation about the Hooters. I just want to point out something that folks
47:44
may not know. The at Capital Market. You know, they had the
47:47
Winter Market the winter holiday weekends this December and there were wooden structures outside that
47:55
had artists in them and they were serving food and all of that. All
48:00
of those little wooden structures at Capital Market include reclaimed wood from the Kanaw City
48:06
Hooters. So if you want to feel that spiritual connection to the kanas City
48:09
Hooters support Capital Market. I hope my friend Leo, who just left us,
48:14
that was on the previous second. I hope he's listening to that.
48:15
So Leo, you can go there, all right. So, yeah,
48:17
big day, get to it, get to it. Yeah, we're super
48:22
excited. Thirty years since this event has been held in Charleston, and I
48:25
want to say, first and foremost, Wheeling set the bar high. They
48:30
did a great job. We've got a lot of work ahead of us if
48:31
we want to equal or surpass what Wheeling has done over the years. But
48:37
we've got a great local group led by Mike Garba Gast, the Host Committee
48:40
Chair, and collaboration among Certainly, we couldn't do this without mayor any Goodwin
48:46
in the city of Charleston. The Kanaw County Commission and very importantly the Kanau
48:51
County Board of Education because they own the field. Joe Varney, the general
48:58
manager at the field, is a Knall County Board employee and they are integral
49:02
in us getting this event back. So we have to name check them because
49:07
we couldn't do this without that very large collaboration. And quickly talk about what
49:12
this is going to mean in your opinion. You're a numbers guy, you
49:15
know, I love the numbers too. Sure, what is this going to
49:16
mean for Charleston. You know what this means is eight football teams coming to
49:22
the capital city over two days in December. And you know, it's hard
49:25
to put a number on hotel rooms because we won't know until the week before
49:29
who's playing. But it does mean that all of these folks will be coming
49:32
to Charleston visiting the city, and even if they don't stay in hotels,
49:36
they're going to be shopping here, They're going to be eating here, they're
49:38
going to be buying gas here. And you know the other thing David does
49:42
is, you know, I'm big on this notion of not only economic impact,
49:46
but community impact. This is a sense of this is a source of
49:50
pride for the city of Charleston and the Charleston community at large. So bringing
49:53
this back, I think is a huge boost to community pride. We're going
49:57
to get a lot of great media coverage over the next several months leading up
50:00
to and including the event. So you know, this event hits all the
50:04
markers, and we just could not be more excited that we're bringing this back
50:07
to Charleston for the first time since nineteen ninety What did we have to tell
50:10
them to get them here? Tim? About personality? Truly, Dave.
50:19
What we did was we made sure to express to the WVSSAC that our number
50:22
one concern was the student athlete experience. For a lot of these kids,
50:25
this is the biggest football game they'll ever play in in their lives, and
50:30
we want them to come to Charleston, have a great experience, and remember
50:34
it for the rest of their lives as a positive experience here in the capital
50:37
city. So we really focused on just that, the student athlete experience over
50:44
those two days in Charleston, West Virginia. All right, Tim, you
50:47
got a lot of work to do between now and then. I mean,
50:50
you realy no kidding. I'm signing you up for the volunteer. The absolutely
50:53
sign me up. Tim, We'll talk again. Snow, we've got several
50:57
big events coming up. Go get your meeting. We'll talk again. And
51:00
so Man, thanks a lot. I appreciate Dave, have a good date.
51:01
Thank you. Jim Brady again from the Charleston cv B. What a
51:05
what a win for Charleston, I mean a huge, huge win in d

51:35
It's freaking awful. Well, not going to lie about that, but here's
51:38
the thing they got, they got they got months to work on it.
51:42
And I know that's not a big You know, I've done a lot of
51:44
event planning in my time. I've never planned anything this big, I can
51:46
tell you that. But they got a lot of work to do between between
51:50
now and then. But again, just a big, big win for the
51:52
city of Charleston to be able to have to have this thing. And I
51:55
think, as Tim said, Wheeling kind of set the bar pretty high and
51:59
it just goes to show you good things are happening to Charleston right now.
52:04
I mean a lot of people thought that the front runner in getting this thing
52:07
would be the combo effort that West Virginia University and Marshall did to to have
52:15
the game one year at mile of Pushgar Stadium in Morgantown to the next year
52:17
at Jones Edwards Stadium in Huntington. But in the end, Charleston, Charleston
52:22
gets it all right. And I will say that David Price, the executive
52:25
director of the SSAC, will be on talk line with Dave Wilson, who's
52:30
in for Hoppy coming up a little bit later on. Speaking of that,
52:34
