2:34
I do want to mention this real quickly. One news note before we get
2:37
into the show. Late yesterday the announcement came from City Hall that Mayor Goodwin
2:42
has chosen a new police chief for the City of Charleston. At press conference
2:45
is scheduled for noon today at City Hall where the new Chief of Police for
2:47
Charleston will be introduced. I can tell you that I already had the new
2:52
chief schedule on the show. He will be on the show. This is
2:55
coming Tuesday, and of course our news team will be covering that press conference.
3:00
It's at noon today and full details will be made a little at that
3:04
time on the air and online before we get to hand of Gardner. Yesterday,
3:07
just before airtime, we learned of some massive job layoffs here at the
3:10
Mountain State and they're in the Weirden area at the plant there operated by Cleveland
3:15
Cliffs. Now you may be wondering what that has to do with here.
3:19
Well, anytime that you lose nearly a thousand jobs anywhere in West Virginia,
3:23
it's big news. Senator Ryan Weld, who serves that area, joins us
3:28
now to talk about it briefly. Senator, good morning, Welcome to the
3:30
show. Hey, good morning, Dave, Thanks for having me, Thanks
3:31
for being here. What can you tell us this morning? This announcement came
3:35
about twenty four hours or so ago. What can you tell us, Well,
3:38
it's been a frenetic past twenty four hours. As you can imagine.
3:42
It's a very tough day for the city of weird and especially the families that
3:46
are going to be out of a job in about a month. Yesterday's announcement
3:51
by Cleveland Cliff to idle that plant came as a result of a decision by
3:55
the ITC, which is the International Trade Commission, which is a federal agency
4:00
that found that despite overwhelming evidence that had been found by the Department of Commerce
4:05
that there the steelmakers from foreign several foreign countries are not engaged in illegal trade
4:13
practices or the dumping of cheap, unsubsidized steel in the US. And as
4:19
you can imagine, seems to be a lot of people left very confused by
4:26
that decision, and once again the federal government has left the city of Weirton
4:29
in its steel industry with a legacy of closed mills and unemployed workers. There
4:35
was overwhelming evidence of what I just described, it was found by the Department
4:40
of Commerce, and then the decision made by the ITC caught a lot of
4:44
people by surprise, given Commerce's stance on the issue. And so, you
4:49
know, the US steel industry and American manufacturers don't need to have the skills
4:57
tipped in their favor, but they do need the federal govern meant to actually
5:00
stand up and do its job and make sure that there's a level playing field
5:03
for everybody. And it seems in this case the ITC and this administration was
5:10
much more worried about the Chinese or the Russian steel industry and other countries that
5:16
we import steel from than the US steel industry. And that's that's pretty damn
5:20
sad. Soonderweld, is this one done deal? Is there any reversing this?
5:27
So in order to appeal to the decision of the ITC, you appeal
5:30
it to the ITC. What I have says legit. So the same people
5:35
who told you that you were terrible on Monday will turn around in a few
5:39
months and tell you that your terrible again. So it seems kind of counterintuitive.
5:44
It takes maybe six to nine months to appeal it to a court,
5:48
But then the court doesn't overturn the decision of the ITC. They just tell
5:53
the Trade Commission, hey, you got to look at this again. So
5:58
that won't help the workers of Weird And you're going to be out of a
6:00
job at about a month and a half because of how long that process takes.
6:02
And again it's the same people, so it's not much of an appeal
6:06
process. Have you had any conversations I know you served that area, Senator,
6:11
Have you had any conversations with anybody within within the actual company up there
6:15
or the workers and I'm sure that they've that they've reached out to all their
6:18
elected officials. You know, Uh what what what have you heard from them?
6:23
I have talked to people ranging from the head of Cleveland Cliffs spoke with
6:28
him yesterday, the head of the steel workers union who represents the workers there,
6:33
uh, as well as several officials in the city of Weirton, in
6:38
the state government here. Uh. You know, there's a willingness to help,
6:41
but at this point in time, not really sure what can actually be
6:45
done, if anything, given what the i TC did. The thing that
6:49
we can focus on right now is ensuring that workforce West Virginia is prepared to
6:55
handle the unfortunately large influx of applications for unemployment benefits they're going to be getting
7:01
in about a month and a half. That's uh. I mean that story.
7:05
As I said, when once it broke yesterday, man, I was
7:08
just like wow. I mean, at any time, and again, for
7:11
those of us who are in the Kanaal Valley may seem like it's it's clear
7:15
across the country, but anytime you have that many jobs We're talking about nearly
7:18
a thousand jobs, Senator, it's going to impact a lot of people in
7:21
the state from taxes and so on and so forth. And uh, and
7:25
that's something I even thought about, Senator, was the burden that's going to
7:29
put on workforce West Virginia. That's something I hadn't even thought about, yep.
7:31
And so we need to be prepared to ensure that those families in the
7:36
short term have the the you know, opportunity to get to the benefits that
7:41
they deserve. But also, Dave, I mean this, words are don't
7:46
mean a whole lot right now, but actions do. And so we need
7:47
to make sure that we're going all that we can to redouble our efforts to
7:53
help create a much more you know, conducive environment for economic development projects.
7:58
The city of Weirton has one that is very significant. It's being built now,
8:03
but we need to ensure that those opportunities continue for weird and the whole
8:07
Northern Panhandle from my perspective, to ensure that these people are losing their jobs
8:11
could have a career in the future where they live. Well, Senator,
8:15
I know that you've been on top of this from the get go, and
8:20
hats off to you and the others that are working to try to work through
8:22
this as best you can. I appreciate you taking time on your schedule to
8:26
be here today. Thanks a lot. Thank you very much. Have a
8:28
good weekend as well. Senator Ryan Weld again, over a thousand jobs or
8:31
actually it's right, just under a thousand jobs I think are going to be
8:35
lost up there, and again for those of us in the Kanawha Valley,
8:37
it is a big deal because that's taxes, that's tax dollars and things of
8:41
that nature that does impact the States. Appreciate to Senator Ryan Weld for being
8:46
with us on the show today. Phone calls to the show service of big

9:26
Association with this week's Adopt Me Please pat of the Weekendah, good morning,
9:30
welcome to the show. Good morning, thank you for being here and thank
9:33
you for working with us on the timing today. Had to get that story
9:37
with the Senator Weld out there this morning. As always our do me please
9:41
putter the week from the Cannala Charles Newmaine Association. Picture posted on my Facebook
9:45
page Dave Alan Radio and also on Axe the Artist formerly known as Twitter.
9:48
This morning, we are talking about a lovely creature by the name of Sienna.
9:54
Hannah, tell us about Sienna. All right, the Sienna is she's
10:00
a little girl. She is about six months old. I believe she's just
10:05
around six months old. She is microchipped and vaccinated, and she is very,
10:13
very playful when she gets to warming up to you and after she kind
10:18
of gets over her shyness. And nervousness because she is rather shy at first.
10:22
She does love playful dog. She would be a great family dog.
10:26
I would say she's still learning how to walk on the leash, but she
10:31
is a puppy still, so that is expected. She didn't need somebody that
10:37
can work with her. She were not exactly sure if she's housebroken or not,
10:43
but she is a puppy, so it is expected that she may have
10:46
a few accidents. So somebody who's willing to work with her on that.
10:52
And she is just an all around social butterfly. She is very, very
10:56
sweet, she's looking for the best, and she is around twenty pounds out.
11:01
Believe well, she's a certainly a beautiful dog. And if you'll notice
11:09
when you go over to my Facebook page or the x account and you look
11:11
at her eye, she does have a little situation going on with her eye.
11:16
But you were telling me last night that it's called cherry eye, and
11:18
it's it's it's not a serious condition. Talk about exactly what that is.
11:24
Right, So Cherry, I one of my dogs, actually had it,
11:28
and I did have a surgery on it, just so that way when she
11:31
gets older, it would probably benefit her a little bit, but it's not
11:37
a super serious thing. Ma, Terry ays, is just a term for
11:41
like the popping out of the third iselid glend so and its a lot of
11:48
dogs do have it. It's just something that can just happen to any dog,
11:52
really, but it's something that you can have surgery on to either remove
11:58
the third eye or you can have them pucket. It is possible if they
12:05
pucket that it can just like come back out. But it's again, it's
12:09
not something that is like bad or serious or anything like that. It can
12:13
irritate them over time, but I mean, as you said, madam,
12:16
I'm sure it's not comfortable, but it's not something that you would have to
12:20
worry about right away. Yeah, and it's not like a contagious condition or
12:24
anything like that. I mean, so she's able to give it to other
12:26
dogs or humans or anything like that, whether permitting. You guys, I
12:31
understand, are going to be out on the road with an adoption event happening
12:33
tomorrow at the Loop Insane Albans I think from noon till four. Yeah,
12:39
so we hope that everybody will come out there so that way we can see
12:45
everybody and hopefully have an adoption. Yeah, Brian Hughes, my meteorologist,
12:48
Brian Huston Storm Tracker thirteen is going to be on later and he tells me
12:52
that by late morning tomorrow everything should be cool, so you should be in
12:56
good shape there. I do want to mention this, and we still have
12:58
time to talk about it as we get closer. But Tuesday, February the
13:01
twenty seventh is World Spade Day, and I know that the group Fixed Charleston
13:05
is a big part of that as well, and as as as well as
13:09
as you folks at the shelter. Yes, and we hope that everybody comes
13:13
out. We're going to have a lot of fun stuff as well as the
13:18
serious stuff, but we will have stuff for the kiddy friends as well as
13:22
through dogs. I believe that Starbucks and Roxity Cake Company will be there,
13:28
and we will also be taking pictures. I'll have a photo booth set up
13:31
for everybody. And where's this going to be? Where's it actually taking place?
13:35
This is going to be at Fix Charleston. Oh, at it Fix
13:39
Charleston. Okay, yeah, it'll be at the shelter at PIX Charleston.
13:43
Right when you pull across the bridge, you'll see that we'll have everything set
13:46
up out there, so hopefully the pictures will be outside, but if not,
13:50
I'm sure we have alternatives for inside. But we do have bandanas and
13:56
stuff for the pictures, and we're ready to see everybody, hoping that everybody
14:00
comes and makes an appointment for their animals to get fixed and faccinated as need
14:05
be. I've had a text to the show here Hannah, before we let
14:07
you go that says, since different vets charge different amounts for procedures, would
14:11
it be possible to get a summary of an average cost for them at all
14:15
the post that I think that probably would depend on the individual vet. But
14:20
I mean, I got cats, and cats are relatively easy as far as
14:24
you know, You get them fixed and take them back during their lifetime maybe
14:26
one or two times, you know, for something other than routine. So
14:28
that would be kind of difficult to do, but certain one, certainly something
14:31
we could probably look into. Now again, the fix the fixed Charles's event
14:37
world S pay day is going to be on Tuesday, the twenty seventh.
14:39
You'll be on next week, so we can get into that a little bit
14:41
more at that time, Hannah. As always, I appreciate you being here
14:45
talk to you next week. Thanks a lot, Thanks you having a great
14:48
one you as well. Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charles Humaine Association again a
14:52
couple of quick notes things she talked about there. There is an adoption event
14:54
going on at the Loop and saying Albans tomorrow between noon and four and also
14:58
World Space Day Tuesday, February the twenty seventh, and the Humane Association kind
15:03
of working with the group fixed Charleston on that and we'll get into that in
15:07
detail coming up a little bit later on as we get closer, and Hannah
15:11
will be joining us again next week. Our DoPT me please put it the
15:13
week again. Is Sianna six months old? Vaccinated and micro chip not fixed
15:18
yet but will be soon. Don't know about the housebreaking thing as of yet,
15:22
but she's still a puppy, so she still she's still got time to
15:26
learn and to have a few more accidents, but I'm sure they can get
15:28
that taken care of. Sianna loves kids, loves other playful dogs, can
15:33
be a little bit shy at first. It's still learning again young learning to
15:39
walk on the least that'll come. And as far as that eye condition goes,
15:43
if you go over to my Facebook page or my ex page. Artists
15:46
will be known as Twitter. You will see the I. It's called cherry
15:52
Eye. It looks a lot worse than it is. It's not dangerous,
15:54
doesn't seem to cause her any problems. Some people choose to have surgery,
15:56
as Handa did with her dog. Some people do not. It's not a
16:00
contagious situation or anything like that. But lovely, lovely dog would be great
16:06
for your family. Go over in get Sianna and again I get the picture

19:29
from Something Good Soul Food coming up a little bit later on the show.
19:32
Also meteorologist Brian Hughes. This gentleman not a meteorologists or does he play one
19:36
on TV? It's County Commission Ben Sulanga, Good morning, sir. I
19:40
rely on the meteorolis is all the time, though I would never try to
19:41
predict the weather. You're ready for this big snow event that we're going to
19:45
have, going to get it? Well, well, it's really weird,
19:48
and we're going to talk to Brian about this a little bit later on,
19:49
because you know, some forecasters said three to six inches, but it looks
19:53
like for our area it's going to be an inch or last and it's all
19:56
going to be gone by like midday tomorrow. So from there's gonna be time
20:00
frame I guess from about maybe eight nine o'clock tonight till maybe six or seven
20:03
in the morning. You probably want to stay off the roads because it's going
20:06
to be sleep. But after after that it's all good. Well, I
20:10
saw Brian's post this morning and I thought, there's no way we're getting all
20:12
that snow. But we'll see. I don't trust him. I don't think
20:15
well, as soon as I'm not prepared for it, if I don't have
20:18
salt, if I don't have the you know, everything ready, then we'll
20:19
get hit with a blizzard. I want to bring this up to you.
20:22
I'm not and I don't want you to delve too deeply into this. But
20:26
we have some we have some names now to uh fill that third commission seat
20:30
for Kanaan County. I mean the person holds it now. Ken Carper is
20:32
running for reelection on the Democrat signed former Secretary of State Natalie Tenant has it
20:36
not she's she's running on the Republican side. We have former Senator Chris Walters,
20:41
he was on the show earlier this week. Dwayne Duncan who's also been
20:44
on the show. It seems like a lot of interest, Sir, that's
20:47
good. Everybody wants to hang out with you and Lance. Is that what
20:48
it is? Well, probably want to want to hang out with Lance,
20:51
Probably not me, but yeah, it's you know, some good names in
20:53
there, and uh, you know, I Ken's had that position forever.
20:57
I think he's you know, we'll see. You know, he's had some
21:02
health problems lately, and you know hopefully he'll be He'll be back very soon,
21:07
is what you know. We're all expecting. But we shall see.
21:10
Mister. We got the word not long ago that demolition said to begin I
21:14
think around the first of April, and the former Macy's location downtown adjacent to
21:18
the town Center. That having been said, any movement with the Capital sports
21:22
compant, so there's lots of movement, lots and lots of movement. So
21:26
you know, it's just been it's been a long, complex process. And
21:30
so what we've done lately over the last month or so is we put out
21:33
bids for a bank to where we can put the ten million dollars at five
21:37
million from the city, five million from the county. We got some really
21:41
great bids. We selected a bank. I think we're getting around five point
21:45
three percent in a money market account, so you think about that we put
21:49
that ten million in, we're earning over forty thousand dollars a month in interest,
21:55
which is good because it's going to take a little while to get the
21:56
architectural drawings and those things back. So at present, we have an agreement
22:03
in principle for the purchase of the Macy's building. I think the lawyers,
22:07
and I do not do property law, thankfully, not your bags. It
22:11
is not my bag, not clothes. If I need to buy property,
22:14
I hire a lawyer. I don't do it. But they're ironing out all
22:17
those agreements and hopefully that will be signed very soon. The goal is to
22:22
start tearing down the Macy's building first week April. I'm going to go over
22:26
there with sledgehammer, and I know Commissioner that the plans are to have aquatics
22:33
to be a big part of this new center. Someone texted the show the
22:37
other day and was asking about the size of the pool or pools, what's
22:41
being talked about. Of course, we're still trying to get there at this
22:45
point, so plans can change whatever. But how big are we talking about
22:48
here? Well, I think if you're going to be competitive, you're going
22:51
to host meets, then you need at least a fifty meter and so that's
22:56
what we're looking at now. I think what we're probably going to be looking
22:57
at is because when we initially priced this out, we were around three hundred
23:03
to three hundred fifty dollars a square foot, and now it's substantially higher than
23:07
that. So you've got to make sure that you're not going over budget.
23:11
So I think we're looking at building out the basketball, pickleball, volleyball part
23:17
first. That's that's the revenue making sense. That's the thing that's going to
23:22
bring in the biggest economic impact. And so we met with Sports Facilities Company.
23:26
They do this nationwide, and we had an all day meeting kind of
23:30
going back and forth, you know, what are our goals, what are
23:33
our expectations, And so I think when we're looking at the Macy's site,
23:37
that's probably where we're going to be putting the basketball volleyball facility. And then
23:41
I hope construction prices will come down. We all do, yeah, because
23:47
it's you know, if you're going if it's fifty percent higher, you just
23:51
it's not affordable. It's not something that I know the mayor city Council would
23:55
be willing to do. It's not something that I would recommend the County Commission,
23:59
you know, spend way too much money when construction prices are high.
24:03
Now they have, they have dropped a little bit over the last four or
24:04
five months, but that's changed since we announced the project. So we're looking
24:08
at that. We're gonna we're gonna start with the basketball, volleyball side first,
24:12
and when we talk about you know, this commission, I want people
24:17
to understand when we say a we're not talking about like the kind of basketball
24:21
court that you have in the backyard. You know, we're not talking about
24:23
a rim in a garage. We're not talking about a small middle school.
24:26
We're talking about a big, old facility here. If this thing comes to
24:29
fruition, this is this is going to be state of the art. I
24:30
mean, if you look back at Shawnee Sports Complex for example, you know,
24:36
there were things that we did and we did it based upon what's going
24:38
to drive in what's going to have the biggest economic impact, and it's you
24:42
know, generated over one hundred and thirty million dollars in five years. This
24:47
facility will bring in much much more than that. You know, Shawnee is
24:51
is we do a lot of sports there, but at this facility, we're
24:55
talking about some of the biggest travel sports in the country. You know,
24:59
volleyball, basketball, particularly girls basketball. They are you know, they travel
25:03
from all over and you can host three hundred teams, four hundred teams.
25:08
You multiply that, particularly in girls sports, because they bring the whole families.
25:11
You know, guys. The boys typically nobody cares about that. Well,
25:15
the girls, it's like a whole family event. So in their study
25:18
after study on that. So you start hosting these these girl sports, it's
25:23
going to be it's going to sell out. You know, hotels two three
25:26
hours away the use soccer tournaments that we bring in. You know, we've
25:30
got two big soccer tournaments coming in this summer. You will not find a
25:36
hotel room, you know, within two and a half time. And then
25:37
people say, and I've had people on this show and others have said to
25:41
me, well, why are we talking about building new hotels. This is
25:44
why we're talking about building hotels because we're talking again and you're not exaggerating about
25:48
this. We're talking about once this thing is up and running, once we
25:52
get there. We're talking about hotels that I mean, the nearest hotel being
25:56
as you said, been two to two and a half hours away from the
26:00
events. Sometimes at our youth soccer tournaments, we people stay in flat woods.
26:03
Yes, think about it. I've told the story many times before about
26:07
being in Gallipolice, Ohio, and people that came in for a tournament at
26:10
Shawnee and the nearest hotel at that particular point was in Gallipolice, Ohio.
26:14
Well, and we're just talking about one facility. Imagine what happens if we've
26:17
got a tournament at the Capitol Sports Complex and also at Shawnee. Yeah,
26:21
I mean, you're gonna have to stay in Pittsburgh. I mean it's I
26:23
mean, suddenly Dave goes into the airbnb business. That's right, we got
26:26
we've got a spare bedroom. It's an airbnbing out. Yeah, so you
26:30
know that's one of the issues. But I think that that that will fix
26:33
itself. You know, where there's a demand, there will be a supply.
26:36
So we're you know, anxious for that to happen. But we've so
26:40
we've made a lot of steps. We've made a lot of progress. It's
26:41
been a lot slower than I wanted, definitely slower than the mayor wanted.
26:45
I mean, we'd love to be down there playing pick a ball in this
26:47
facility right now. But we're well on our way. We are going back.
26:52
You know, Center Mansion was able to get us a congressionally directed spending
26:57
ear mark for two million dollars, which is nice. We're gonna be asking,
27:02
you know, for some additional financial assistance. The Senator's been wonderful with
27:07
the Shawnee Sports Complex, so has the Governor. You know, we we
27:10
just announced that we're building a new entrance building. When we built the first
27:15
entrance building, we weren't expecting the volume, and so now when you have
27:21
a big tournament, you've got lines for like the restrooms, for the concession
27:23
stands, and so we're we're going to triple the size of the entrance building.
27:29
And we were able to get three million dollars from Senator Mansion, which
27:30
we greatly appreciate, and the Governor, who you know has been a big
27:34
supporter of the Shawnee from the beginning, gave us a million dollars. So
27:40
it's a four point two million dollar project. We could actually break ground on
27:44
that project now, but construction would be going on while we had the two
27:48
big USU soccer tournaments this summer. So we're going to wait and then the
27:52
day after those tournaments are done, we're we're going to start on the new
27:55
entrance building. And this is it's going to be state of the art meeting
27:57
facilities, tripling the size of the restroom capacity. You know, you've got
28:03
we have turf that literally NFL players play on. I mean, this is
28:07
the quality of turf that we have. It's the same turf they have in
28:10
Atlanta. We have a state of the art musclar lighting that they have at
28:14
some of these you know, two three, four hundred million dollars stadiums.
28:18
Uh. But when host big torn we have to bring out porta potties because
28:21
we just didn't have the resturm. This doesn't go with it, it doesn't.
28:25
So so that's one lesson we certainly learned, and we certainly appreciate the
28:29
Governor's help and Center Mansions help expanding that facility. But Dave Island Showing five

28:47
What else you go going on? So yeah, I mean there's a
28:48
there's a ton going on. We've got you know, Lance is working on
28:52
a lot of the demolition projects we've got. We're trying to get rid of
28:55
these dilapidated houses, these abandoned houses. Uh, so we can none only
29:00
they're you know, haven for crime, but also they're dangerous. We'd like
29:03
to tear those down so that when we get new new construction in those in
29:07
those spots. So I think we just did. We just paid back a
29:11
half a million dollars. You can actually get an interest free loan. Did
29:15
you know this? To tear these things down? You just got to pay
29:18
it back. You don't pay it back and then they charge your interest,
29:18
but it's it's interest free for a year or two. So we're taking advantage
29:22
of that. Commissioner Carper was did that even before my time on the commission
29:29
and Lance is doing a great job making sure that that happens. So he's
29:33
We've got the big project out out near Tornado with the trails that Lance has
29:40
spearheaded. So yeah, there's a lot going on. I mean it's a
29:42
very very busy county. Commission. Got a question here for you. I
29:47
know you're always good, you're all you're always good about taking I'll take the
29:49
question. Please ask the commissioner when they are going to devote moneys to bringing
29:53
Big ben Golf Course back to quality standards. Yeah, that's that's a very
29:56
good question, and we are working on that, I'll tell you. So
30:00
I can't wait to announce this plan and that we have there. We're going
30:06
to be putting a lot of money into that course. Uh. And and
30:10
one of the things that I wanted to do is change up and I can't.
30:12
There's not a whole lot. I can't say much about this, but
30:15
there's one that we wanting to do. Something very special. But I agree
30:21
with them. But if you look at where Big Bend is now compared to
30:23
where it was two years ago, I think we've had a lot of progress.
30:26
The greens are looking a lot better. Uh. You know, we
30:30
had some irrigation problems. We've got there's flooding. We've had issues getting money
30:34
from FEMA. You know where we had some of the collapse along the riverbank
30:41
from flooding, and we've got our one of the ponds that irrigates the course
30:47
is in jeopardy. So we're working on that. But yeah, I agree.
30:51
I mean, I don't play that much golf, and when I do,
30:53
I play terrible golf. But I was out there just probably at the
30:59
end of towards the end of the fall, and the course look great to
31:03
me, and I rode around with Jeff. Jeff's doing a really good job
31:06
out there. So let me close with this. Earlier this week, we
31:11
had another high water issue here in the county, and it does tend to
31:15
happen then, as we say in the radio business. I was talking with
31:18
with Jeff Jenkins, I said, I want you to come on and talk
31:19
about Tesney said, we called it the normal low lying areas. Are we
31:23
making any headway here, Commissioner? Because it does seem and it's not.
31:26
This is not unique to Cana County. It happens, you know where I'm
31:29
from in southern but there's always those areas. It seems like Witcher Creek and
31:33
some of those it seemed to when you have that way, when you have
31:36
that much rain, Are we making any kind of progress? I know you
31:38
can't do anything about mother nature. I get that, but there are some
31:41
things you can do, and honestly, and one of the things we've got
31:45
to do is make sure we're keeping keeping our creeks clean. You know,
31:48
it used to be we'd have tires and you know, but we're trying to
31:52
clean up those things. We're doing a lot of that, honestly, the
31:55
county wide clean up that we do where we take in I mean we take
32:00
in just tons and tons and tons of garbage and trash and stuff that otherwise
32:05
would probably be in creeks. So we're trying to help to that extent.
32:08
But I tell you that people are the people in the africanav Valley, they've
32:13
been through it. I mean, they just cannot catch a break. I
32:15
swear, it's terrible. And we've got feme up. They're now working because
32:20
it was a disaster declaration issued trying to get them help from last time's flood,
32:24
you know, last year, and you know we'll see exactly what we
32:29
can do around for this time as well. All right, Commission Vince Lango,

that's the early show, and we have the nine thirty show, which is
37:37
the late show. What made you decide to want to do comedy, Well,
37:40
I've always been a fan of comedy, and my wife and I when
37:45
we first got together over twenty five years ago, we used to watch comic
37:49
View on b et. Yeah yeah, ever well, and we just we
37:52
just got into comedy back then, and then from that point on we used
37:57
to go, you know, we go travel all the time to go see
38:00
different comedians everywhere. So we just thought maybe we'd try to bring that to
38:04
Charleston and try to give people a little treat here at Darleson. Well,
38:08
and I was kind of worried about the weather, but it looks like that
38:12
by tomorrow night everything's going to be fine. So you got a little snow
38:15
or overnight tonight, but they say by mid date. And I got Brian
38:17
Hughes from thirteen Media from Storm Track of thirteen coming up. He's gonna clear
38:22
the roads for everything's going to be fine. I mean here in the valley,
38:23
we're looking at maybe an inch or two if even that, and should
38:25
be all gone by to Mars to no weather concerns here. So who do
38:28
we have performing? Actually, we got a Beet and the Deaf Jam performer,
38:32
Kenny Howe. He's going to be our headliner, and he's out of
38:37
Chicago, Illinois, and he's been on Beet and also Comic View and Deaf
38:40
Jam. He's traveled around the country and he's a really great comedian. He's
38:45
very funny. And we also got Rich Green, call him Big Rich.
38:49
He's out of Cleveland, Ohio, and he's really funny guy. And he
38:52
runs a spot there in Cleveland, Ohio called Silks and they do a lot
38:57
of comedy there at that place there in Cleveland. And then I've got a
39:00
gentleman by the name of Aggie Cook, and he's a corporate comedy entertainer and
39:06
he usually, you know, does corporate events and stuff like that. But
39:08
he's really really funny also. So we've got these three comedians. They're coming
39:13
here to Charleston just bring some laughter and you know, to heal some people
39:16
out here. You know, laughter is healing, so we want to try
39:20
to heal some people out here. So we're gonna bring these guys out and
39:22
hopefully you gonna have a good time. And there's a VIP thing you can
39:25
do with this, Is that right? Yes, actually there is a VIP
39:29
and it's a meet and greet the comedian. And also we've got some free
39:32
appetizers. And you now you're talking mine and Ryan's likely you said free appetizer.
39:37

great desserts that my wife makes. She makes a nice banana cake, and
40:09

40:13
of other things on the sweet wine cake. Yes, I need to hear
40:16
about this. Well. The sweet wine cake is actually my mother's recipe and
40:22
we thought we'd bring it along. It's one of my favorites and I tell
40:24

40:54

41:00
daily base, we're open on Monday through Friday from eleven am to eight pm,

41:15
gravy, and Friday we've got fried fish, fried catfish, and fried whiting.
41:20
And we also have shrimp and grits. Shrimp and grits one of my
41:23
favorite foods in the world. Man what's your favorite thing on the menu.
41:25
I know it's all good, but what's your favorite thing? Actually? I
41:30
like the fried chicken. Really, that's one of our best sellers, is
41:34
the fried chicken. And how much have you been a business? Actually we've
41:37
been down there about six years now, okay, alright, twelve I'm looking
41:40
to afford to try it. A matter of fact, I think I just
41:43
made a lunch appointment with somebody out in the hall just now. We were
41:45
talking about this, So let's go to lunch there next week, I said,
41:47
I think we will. What's the biggest cellar on the menu. Actually,
41:52
we have a dish called chunky butt. Chunky butt, Yes, it's
41:54
a big cellar on the menu. And also our fried chicken and ribs.
41:58
They're really good. I'm gonna need to know what chunky butt is. Chunky
42:01
butt. It's a it's a pork butt that's cooked different and it has different
42:06
peppers and then like red peppers, green peppers, yellow and orange and they're
42:09
all sweet peppers and they're mixed in with some other spices and it's really really
42:14
good. Sounds great. All right, I'm gonna stop talking about food,
42:16
Jay, I promise, and let's let's get back to the comedy show.
42:20
Two shows tomorrow night. And the best place to get tickets is just to
42:23
do the event Bright thing, is it right? Yest's go to event Bright
42:27
or you can stop by the restaurant at forty eight thirty seven well corkor Avenue
42:30
there in South Arlston seven to nine pm. And again Kenny Howe is going
42:34
to be your headliner, a big rich green And who was the other gentleman?
42:37
There was a change the skelluche Yes, it was a change of the
42:39
scu His name is Aggie Cook. Aggy Cook, yes, all right?
42:43
And I always have to ask this question about comedy shows. Is is this
42:47
game? Is it aim more toward an adult or pg? Thirteen? This
42:51
is something that I mean, just just put it out there for the folks.
42:53
We don't want to many people being offended or whatever. So is it
42:58
something? How would you have you rate the show? Well? On the
43:00
back of the ticket, I'll quote my wife, she says, some comedy
43:04
shows are clean. This ain't it? All right? Well? But I
43:08
mean I think that's very important because you don't want somebody to come out absolute
43:14
that, you know, all right? So it sounds perfect for me I
43:16
may have to be there. We all need to laugh, you know,
43:19
exactly, exactly, especially in the world that we live in now. I've
43:22

47:04
from Storm Track of thirteen. Mister Hughes, how are you? I'm doing
47:07
great today. How's your Friday? Well, you know, I just got
47:10
did an entire segment talking about comedy and soul food and listen. I was
47:15
I was thinking about that pork butt that he was talking about. I mean,
47:19
that sounded great. Chunky butt is what he calls it, chunky butt.
47:22
Christ and I used to have that. Then I blew up an appendix.
47:25
I don't have the chunky butt anymore. I was gonna ask you real
47:28
quick, I mean, what the heck is going on with you? Man?
47:30
You've had foot surgery like twice now, Then you blew out an appendix,
47:35
I mean, are you okay? I wed three foot surgeries. This
47:37
is my third. It's the same foot thing spot but we hopefully haven't picked
47:42
this time. But yeah, I did a surgery. I had the foot
47:45
surgery two and a half weeks later. I decided to blow the appendix out,
47:49
so you know, it is what it is. It is what it
47:52
is. But you're a trooper man, and we watch you every morning,
47:55
we watch you and your lovely dog there. And when are you gonna be
47:59
back in studio? I hope we had about a week and a half.
48:01
I get to see the foot doctor in today and we've got a little bit
48:05
of work to do. But yeah, I hope in about a week and
48:07
a half, I'll be back getting there and get to move it. The
48:09
key. The key is that now, just to be honest, here he
48:13
is, I just can't. I can walk around on my foot, get
48:16
small types of bine spaces, but once you know, get out into the
48:21
general public and I'm working, there's just a lot more walking. And so
48:23
the doctors said, we really have to treat this this time next level.
48:29
And so yeah, we're doing a real good job here. All right.
48:30
So let's talk about the snowstorm of the century. It's not even gonna be
48:35
the snowstorm of the winter, is that right? Yeah? Now, hey,
48:38
listen, back in twenty fifteen on this date, we had five to
48:43
twelve inches of snow in the region. But that's not the case. We're
48:46
not going to have that this time around. Listen, here's what's gonna happen.
48:51
The cvening. Once it gets about you know, five six o'clock,
48:54
the rain's going to move in. Four or five six o'clock rain moves in,
48:59
and then by you know, between seven and eight, you know,
49:01
it switches over to snow, and it's going to snow the rest of the
49:06
evening and bulk of the snow, I mean, we're gonna get a lot
49:07
of big fat plate this evening once we get the rain passing through and it
49:13
transitions over to the snow. But the best snow that would accumulate will happen
49:16
between roughly about nine o'clock and midnight one o'clock in the morning. But you
49:22
know, the good part about it is it's a Friday evening, Friday night,
49:25
while you can go out for dinner, go out and have a stake,
49:29
whatever you want to do. That's fine, but you'll be able to,
49:31
you know, make it home in time, just fine, and then
49:35
hunker down for the rest of the evening. It'll snow. They'll be able
49:37
to attack the roads with the flows properly over night because not a lot of
49:40
people out on a Friday night going into Saturday morning at a lot of people
49:44
out in about on Saturday morning anyway, but the main roads will be fine.
49:46
Saturday morning is the secondary roads you know in your neighborhood, stuff like
49:50
that, it'll be somewhat snow covered. But if you know the bad thing
49:54
about Saturdays, it's gonna be said, Goshtron cold. I mean, we're
49:58
gonna be in the mid thirties when are going to be well into the mid
50:00
twenties with a wind out of out of the west and northwest and about five
50:06
to fifteen miles per hour for the day with a couple of floyes dropping on
50:08
and Sunday really cold the morning. We're talking nineteen twenty degrees on Sunday morning,
50:13
about forty five of the high. In regards to snow totals, we're
50:15
looking at one to three inches all across our area here within the sound of
50:19
this radio station. You get back up to say it, Nicholas, Raleigh,
50:22
Braxton, upper parts of Clay County three to five inches, and then
50:27
up to round rich Wood, Snowshoe Elkins, Webster Springs, they're going to
50:30
get five inches plus. But for our area, I mean, like you
50:35
said, primarily the Kanaal Valley, things should be although it's going to be
50:37
cold, there'll be some snow in the neighborhoods and things like that. By
50:42
midday, you know, early maybe ten, eleven o'clock, maybe twelve,
50:45
everything should be cool. And we got a lot of activities going on in
50:47
the area. Tomorrow night. Everything should be fine by tomorrow night, right,
50:51
Oh, yeah, everything's gonna be good. This really is the perfect
50:54
timing for a snow because you want one either on a late Saturday, late
50:59
frie the evening or a Saturday night because you know, just not a lot
51:04
of people on the roads to the plows. They got the opportunity to knock
51:06
this stuff out. It's easy. But yeah, on on average, we're
51:08
gonna see between one and three inches of snow across the Greater canalv out.
51:14
But by next week, Brian, we got about ten or fifteen seconds.
51:15
We're running to let you go. But by next week we're into the fifties
51:19
and it's all and it's all good, right yeah, President's Day fifty Tuesday
51:22
fifty five, we're at sixty on Wednesday and Thursday. We'll get another shot
51:27
of colder air next Friday and Saturday. All right, Brian, try to
51:30
be well, okay, try to take care of yourself. All right,
51:34
all right, we'll talk in progress there talk again, Sue Man. Thanks
51:36
