making his debut on the radio Least and here with the Bucket. How
2:19
you doing Man? Doing great? Dave? How are you this morning?
2:21
I'm doing fine. Thank you for agreeing to be here today. You got
2:23
a big event going on this weekend. It's three days. It's called Bucket
2:28
Fest, and this thing is going to be totally off the charts and I've
2:31
been posting a lot about it on social media and you and I are going
2:34
to get into that a little bit later on about what is bucket Fast,
2:37
howe of the whole thing come about? Plus you get to play ten questions,
2:40
which is a very popular feature on Friday. When I throw out ten
2:44
questions to you to my guest host, they don't know what the questions are.
2:47
And you got to answer the rapid fire. And you told me you've
2:50
been doing your homework, You've been listening to past shows, so you think
2:53
you're ready for ten questions, right? Well, I told my teachers I
2:55
was doing my homework too, so we'll see how it turns out. Good
3:00
answer there. Let me bring in a good friend of Hannah Garden from the
3:02
Canal Charst You, Maine Association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pat of the
3:07
Week. Hannah, good morning, how are you? How are you?
3:09
I am doing fine, Hannah. This is Chris Atkins, owner of the
3:13
Bucket and Dunbar. Chris. This is Hannah and Hannah and I were talking
3:15
about this last night. I think we have almost half her talked in to
3:20
ride the mechanical bull at Bucket Fest this weekend. Is okay, we can.
3:27
We can talk to him and have him kind of take it easy on
3:29
you. I don't think if you've met Hannah, I don't think you need
3:31
to take it easy with Hannah. I think Hannah could probably own that thing,
3:35
right, right? Is that right, Hannah? Right exactly? Okay.
3:38
Now, normally we do a dog on the Adopt Me Please put of
3:42
the Week, but this time it's a cat. And you know, cats
3:45
are kind of special. I'm kind of a cat person anyway. I like
3:46
dogs too, but I'm kind of a I'm a kind of a cat person.
3:50
Um, but this this cat is is a little bit different. Pictures
3:54
posted on Dave Aden Radio and Facebook and at Dave a seventy on Twitter,
3:59
and we have ourselves a sad situation, but we're gonna make it better.
4:03
The cat's name is Spud, and Spud has been through a lot. And
4:08
if you go over to my Facebook page, Dame all on Radio or at
4:11
Dave a seventy on Twitter, you'll see what I'm talking about with with Spud.
4:15
Get into spud story a Hannah. Yeah, So Sud came in,
4:20
um not too long ago, and he was actually brought in by our name
4:26
officer from a health fire. Um, so he was actually in the house
4:31
fire. So he went straight to our medical team and they started, you
4:36
know, taking care of him immediately because he had a lot of severe injuries.
4:42
Severe burns I mean on his face and his ears, and I'm not
4:46
sure if he had any like on his body, but I know for sure
4:49
that it was all over his face. But he when he came in,
4:55
he was even though he had alcorns of burns and everything, he was still
4:59
just as sweet as could be. Um, he is about again. He
5:03
is male. I know I've been saying he but he is two years old,
5:06
microchips, vaccinated. Um, he is healing very well. Um.
5:13
The only thing that is hard for a cat to heal is that eye that
5:16
you see on his picture whenever you look at it. Um, right above
5:19
his eye, he still has burns there where he has like kind of it's
5:26
still very and it's still in the process of healing. It still looks very
5:30
red, still very like wet almost. Um. So he he definitely needs
5:35
somebody who can understand you know that it's gonna heal, but it's gonna take
5:40
a while because he likes to headbut you and you rub all over as cats
5:44
do, as cats do, as cats do. Yeah, what is the
5:46
healing process like that for a cat? Hannah? I mean, and I
5:49
know you're realize you're not a plastic surgeon, but he's rich in the imagination.
5:53
But I mean, can you expect that the cat is two years old
5:56
that at some point that you know, the cats around it, you know,
5:58
seven eight years old, which I hopefully it will be, especially if
6:00
we get adopted today, that that the cat will will will be fully healed.
6:04
Is that at some point where they be some scarring or do you know?
6:09
Um, I'm pretty sure. It's different from what our vet said from
6:12
like each cat is dependent on how they are during the healing process. Um.
6:18
But for the most part, yeah, he'll be he'll be healed.
6:20
Um, he's gonna heal pretty quickly. He's already healed so much. UM.
6:26
Just in a short time that we've had him since um, I believe
6:30
it. I mean it's like not short, but short for him. It's
6:33
about two months I think we've had him. But for like that first month,
6:39
I believe he was under medical treatment and stuff. So he's been available
6:43
for about a month. But he did get adopted. Um that he was
6:46
brought back. It was an elderly lady who adopted, and she came back
6:50
in and she was like love his love his heart so much. But he
6:55
she had a little Pomeranian and the pomeranian I'm asuming. I'm not sure the
7:00
whole story, but I'm assuming the pomeranium was just scared of the cat.
7:03
It was way smaller than the cat, and the cat I think was trying
7:10
to play or chase it or something, and I don't think that she really
7:15
understood that. So I think that he would be fine with other dogs.
7:20
Maybe just it's gonna take a little bit. It's a big change because we
7:26
don't know if he was with dogs, We don't know if he was a
7:28
cat. But yeah, he's a very very sweet cat. He he really
7:35
just needs someone who is gonna let him be held because he wants to be
7:41
held all the time. Twenty four seven. He wants to stay by you.
7:45
He's a very sweet cat, and he has your typical tuxedo looking cat.
7:48
So he is very very sweet. And he's about nine pounds I think,
7:53
so right on right on the edge of ten, I believe is what
7:55
he's at. So he is doing great. And I also owned a cat.
8:01
Me and my wife owned a cat for about seventeen years. Unfortunately lost
8:05
him a couple of years ago. But our dog and our cat ended up
8:07
being best friends. They started that kind of dynamic relationship where he didn't want
8:13
a full with the dog, the dog didn't wonderful with him, but at
8:15
the end of the day they were. They laid together all the time.
8:18
So it's a super cool partnership that they developed. But unfortunately we've lost both
8:24
of those over the years. On the fence, they just give him time's
8:28
right well and it as a beautiful cat, And as you said, the
8:31
cat has definitely been through a lot. So I think I've got some texts
8:37
coming in for you. Hand you Handa. You're popular, so I think
8:39
we have some texts coming in. Are you ready to answer some questions?
8:43
All right, um, Texas question for Hannah. We always see the dogs
8:48
running around outside of the playyard. I'm presuming they're talking about on social media
8:50
on the website up to shelter. Do the cats and kittens ever get taken
8:54
out of their cages to the playyard so they can also stretch your legs,
8:58
has some fun into fresh air. They always look sad lying in those cages.
9:05
No, we don't take them out to any other area just because,
9:11
well, I take that back. We used to. We have a CaTiO
9:15
area that we used to put the cats in a carrier and then take them
9:18
out there. It's fully like covered and that would you know. They can't
9:22
get out, they can't run away or anything, but they can play.
9:26
But it's a lot harder for us to do that now we have a lot
9:28
more like a bigger census than we did back in And also that CaTiO needs
9:35
to be fixed. I think there's some holes and stuff and it's starting to
9:37
fall or something. So we stopped doing that a couple of years back,
9:41
but hopefully one day we'll be able to do that again, because I also
9:46
think syth the kitties should get out as well. But sometimes it is hard
9:50
for us to figure out, you know, who's cat friendly and who's not,
9:52
because a lot of cats don't come in as surrenders for us to know
9:56
these things, and a lot of cats just come in as jay's or are
10:00
they coming as babies, um so, and we can't take them out until
10:03
they are fully vaccinated, just in case of any diseases or anything like that.
10:07
So so it is a process. But we hope one day to bring
10:11
that cadio back to life and CaTiO. I like that the cadio. All
10:18
right, Chris, go ahead and I have another your popular day. Hanna.
10:20
I have another question for you, but go ahead. I just I
10:24
just want to know you said the cat's already been adopted to that correct the
10:26
cat we're trying to get adopted now, sud No, No, that's why
10:28
it's out there. Whoever ends up, whoever ends up adopting the cat the
10:33
perfect name Spuds mccantzie. There you go, and of course, Hannah is
10:39
like, what what what spuds? Mcatzie, I'll explain it to you sometimes.
10:41
So it's an eighties thing, Hannah, I'll explain it to you sometime.
10:43
Okay, uh Tech said, what kind of cat food do you need?
10:48
Because apparently there had been and I've got some other things that you're anita,
10:52
But somebody wants to help and they want to know what kind of cat
10:54
food do you need? Yeah, so we need um surfits for the cat.
11:00
Then it is purina cat or kitten chow, so either one. I
11:05
know, we're starting to pick up on moms coming in with baby kittens that
11:11
are still nursing and stuff, and then some kittens are coming in without moms
11:16
because it is kitten season now. So we would love to have kitten chow.
11:22
And also if anybody could, it would be amazing for some formula.
11:26
And if you go into our social media, we post what we need quite
11:30
often I think maybe even weekly, I'm pretty sure, and we put the
11:33
links to like our wish lists and stuff like that, so you can see
11:37
that as well. But if it is if it's fair cats, it's puring
11:41
a cat or kitten chow and then or a kitten's formula. Okay, we
11:45
also love kitten wet food any brand. I understand too that you're in need
11:48
of some supplies, including blankets and things of that nature. Yeah, we
11:54
used to have like a whole attica fool of like it's and then one day
11:56
we just, I don't know, they just they just disappeared. So we
12:00
could definitely use some blankets. It doesn't have to be blankets. It can
12:05
be towels that you don't use any more, blankets you don't use any more,
12:07
throw blankets. We don't necessarily need or use the pillows that people bring
12:16
anymore, just because dogs like to chew those up, Like if you have
12:20
little chair cushions or something. We'll use those for catbet sometimes, but we
12:24
don't necessarily use them for the dogs or anything because it is a choking hazard
12:28
when we are not there overnight. Right, Yeah, so we are very
12:31
cautious about that. But yeah, we definitely would love to have blankets and
12:35
towels and hand towels and stuff like that. Hannah just kind of I'll pray
12:41
end up reaching out to you after this, But we've been discussing internally at
12:45
the Bucket to have a like a Pet Day in the field at the buckets,
12:48
So it's that big area out there, just kind of bringing some pets
12:52
in, and it might be a good fit for you guys to come in
12:54
and kind of show people what the animal shelters doing and things like that.
12:58
So I'll keep you post well as that develops, and I'll make sure that
13:01
you guys have each other's contact information too, so that would be that'd be
13:05
really good one of the things where we let you go Hannah. Earlier this
13:09
week, you guys did the social media post about bringing in some animals.
13:15
You had five puppies, two kittens brought in a critical condition, and a
13:18
dog with a gunshot wound. Is that right? Yes, we had five
13:24
puppies, a gunshot wound dog, and then two kittens that were in critical
13:28
condition. I do not know how the kittens are doing yet. I know
13:33
that they were taking good care of those kittens and they were making sure that
13:37
they were nourished and treated and everything. So I haven't gotten an update on
13:41
those. I know the dog with a gunshot wound is has been staying in
13:46
our clinic and I saw him out walking around yesterday. Of course, he
13:50
has that leg that's kind of messed up, but they're working on that with
13:54
him. They're getting him some treatment possibly even maybe a surgery he needs it.
14:00
But um, as of right now, he is walking around. He's
14:03
doing fine. We have him on some pain medicine and stuff. But he
14:07
UM, they already did like the exam and everything with him, so he's
14:09
doing well. Was it was it an intentional shooting or was it just random?
14:13
Or do we do? We know what the story is, not that
14:15
it not that it matters, but well, you know, I mean,
14:18
um, yeah that I am not sure. I don't even know if they're
14:26
oh no, no, no sorry. He was actually a surrender. Um,
14:30
he was a surrender to us. I believe someone shot the dog and
14:33
the owner couldn't afford like treatment or taking him like that stuff. He brought
14:39
him in a surrendered them to us. Um, which you know, we're
14:41
going to do everything we can to help that dog, um, sweet dog,
14:46
So we are ready to help him and the five puppies. I believe
14:48
the five puppies are going or went to a foster. Okay, so they
14:54
are doing well. All right, Well, good stuff, and I appreciate
14:56
you being here now you know, I'm away U next week. So I'll
15:01
leave you in the capable of hands of Dale Cooper next week and so so
15:05
I'll make sure that we make it and you and Chris at the bucket you
15:07
guys talking, Maybe we can because Chris has got a really big area out
15:11
there where Bucketfest is gonna be going on this weekend. It's a big giant
15:13
feel to be a great for you to bring some animals out there. And
15:16
you said you like the bucket anyway, right, yeah, I do.
15:20
All right, all right, we'll make it happen. So we'll see you
15:22
on the bull tonight. I'm gonna try and make it there, all right.
15:28
I want pictures, all right, I'll be gone, but I want
15:31
pictures, all right, Hannah. We'll talk soon. Thanks a lot,
15:33
appreciate it, Thank you, all right, let me let let's recap.
15:37
This is Spud picture posted Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and at Dave a seventy
15:41
on Twitter. Two years old. Already Newted came in as a survivor of
15:46
a house fire. He's microchipped and vaccinated. We don't know if he likes
15:50
to the cats, but someone did adopt him, as Hannah said, and
15:54
tried to pair him up with a Pomeranian didn't really work out. But I
15:56
mean, let's be fair, Pomeranians can be very temperamental. I mean they
16:00
can be and the cat pretty much just wanted to play. Spud is a
16:03
sweet and loving cat who wants to be held twenty four seven and loves to
16:07
cuddle, which Chris, considering what he's been through, it probably makes sense.
16:11
You know, he wants somebody next to him all the time. Go
16:15
get this cat. You know, sometimes catch grief because we don't have as
16:18
many cats on the segment as we do dogs. But hey, you know,
16:22
here's your chance, and here's a chance to calv It's already at two
16:23
years old, has already had a tough, tough short couple of years.
16:29
They were surviving that house fire. But it seems to be doing remarkably well
16:33
right now. So go look at the picture Dave Allen Radio and Facebook,
16:36
and at Dave A seventy on Twitter, and go adopt Spud. Spud needs
16:41

20:48
Dirty Birds here as well. How are you eating? I'm good. You
20:52
guys are a great pair because Chris has been very practically dying over here with
20:56
some allergy things going on, and you're that you're losing your voice. I
21:00
am, and I'm the on field person. So I don't know what I'm
21:04
going to do tonight or this entire weekend to try to keep it well.
21:07
I hope, I hope that it works out for you. The Dirty Birds
21:11
are back. They've been on the road against Gastonia this week Is that right?
21:15
We were on the road at Gastonia and Frederick is in town this weekend.
21:18
So our former manager, Mark Menkauzi is now the manager of Fredericks,
21:22
So they will be in town this weekend with some of our former players.
21:26
Okay, well I understand. And again Chris Atkins is my guest hosts this
21:30
week and he's got Bucket Fast going on this weekend. How are your mechanical
21:34
bull skills? I don't know, but I'd like to test them out.
21:38
Well, I think that would be fun. Well, she'll be busy tonight
21:41
because you'll be at the ballpark. How long? How long? And we're
21:44
gonna get into Bucket Fast a little bit later on. But how long will
21:45
it be going tonight? Is the mechanical bull tonight? It is? Yeah?
21:48
And how long seven to ten tonight? Be cutting it close? Yeah,
21:53
but with pitch clocks, I've learned our games are wrapping up around nine
21:56
thirty nine forty, so they're they're going pretty fast. So well also,
22:00
uh, it's going to be their Sunday too, from three to five.
22:03
Our games at four on Sunday. Okay, go there first, to go
22:08
there first, maybe you could stay open for us a little bit. You're
22:14
and you were to and we'll get into the weekend series. But you guys,
22:17
you were telling me earlier that your guys are quite big fans of of
22:22
the establishment known as the Bucket. Yeah, they're there all the time.
22:25
They where they live now, that's close to it. So they are there
22:29
all the time. And that's all we're here. Come to the Bucket,
22:30
Come to the Bucket. Great guys. I've actually got to I've got to
22:33
meet them all a couple of times. Uh. So I see him sitting
22:37
by the tiki bar and yeah and stuff, and we've had a lot of
22:40
talks of baseball and what's going on. And uh, it was right before
22:44
I think I've met him, right before the Washaa Bananas came to town.
22:51
Yeah. Um, so you guys have been on there. How do we
22:53
do on the road? Uh, not so great, but that's okay.
22:56
Um, we're still learning. We're learning how to hell together. And we've
23:00
got guys that have so much experience and guys who don't have that much in
23:03
baseball, but they're finally like starting to come together and build a team.
23:07
But in my opinion, I think we need that one person to stand up
23:11
and be a leader in the dugout, and I think that will make a
23:14
huge difference. But I see improvements every day, Billy Sea's improvements every day,
23:18
So We're things are looking up and we're hoping this weekend with Frederick Intown
23:22
that it's got a little bit of a rivalry because we've got some former guys
23:26
and the former managers, so we think the energy will be there. And
23:29
we've got a clear bag giveaway tonight. That's what I'll talk about. Adduce
23:32
on the field stuff. That's the thing about the Dirty Birds games. There's
23:33
always so much going on. You know, You've got the clear back giveaway,
23:38
that's just one of the things going on. It's Furry Friend Friday,
23:41
yea Fury Friend Friday, and then we've got fireworks tomorrow night. And Sunday
23:45
is something new that we're doing Little League Sundays, so we invite like all
23:48
the little leagues to come out. So it's really cool. I mean,
23:51
we've got something going on every single day, and then we're right back in
23:53
on Tuesday, so we've got a ten day homestand coming up. We're here
23:56
on Tuesday and we've got a bunch of stuff going to the next next Friday,
24:00
the twenty six, I believe is a Hawaiian shirt giveaway, and then
24:03
fireworks again that Saturday. So there's just a bunch of stuff going on.
24:07
One half priced beer by one going hot dogs Tuesdays, another school day on
24:11
Wednesday, and we've got like five thousand kids coming, so Thursday's dollar beer
24:15
Nights and then the Hawaiian shirt giveaways. There's just so much going on every
24:18
single night. It's that's what Minor League baseball in general has has has become
24:23
and it's an attraction, you know, for the entire family and that and
24:27
there's always something going on, sometimes one or two somethings. I mean,
24:30
like this weekend. That's why I'm less prepared for the show. I was
24:33
looking at everything and I've been talking about it all week everything that you had
24:36
going on. I mean that clear that clearbag giveaway, let's talk about that.
24:38
That is through a through the Treasurer's office, Yeah, the Western Treasurer's
24:44
office. That was kind of my idea to do something a little different.
24:47
Everyone loves a bag, obviously, everyone loves to have it, and a
24:49
lot of stadiums have clearbag policies. We are not one of those stadiums.
24:53
Your bags just get checked when you come in. But why not give someone
24:57
a clear bag as a dirty Birds logo? If they go to a WVU
25:02
or a Marshall game and people see that Dirty Birds logo because they have to
25:04
have their clear bags. So and there are more arenas and stadiums and whatnot
25:08
they are requiring it, but you know, in sports and in conference more
25:11
and more every day. Yeah, So we did that and someone was like,
25:14
do you guys have a clear bag policy, and we said no,
25:15
we just want people to have the chance to have a Dirty Birds clear bag
25:18
and make it different and always marketing may yeah, something that Chris knows a
25:22
little bit about it. Always marketing. You've got to have it on everything,
25:26
right exactly. I think I'm in on the Hawaiian shirt, okay.
25:29
And the Treasurer's office has done clear bag giveaways before with WVU and with Marshalls,
25:33
so we decided to, you know, ask them if they wanted to
25:37
help, and they did, so they'll be what the treasure will be there
25:38
tonight. They're doing a little pregame ceremony and some stuff, so it'll it'll
25:42
be good. It'll be a good night. And of course it is for
25:45
your friends Friday too. That's every Friday during that's everyday, every home game,
25:48
and all three friends are welcome. It's not just limited to dogs.
25:51
It's not just limited to cats. It's open to all free friends. Monkeys
25:55
there before. Okay, we've had rabbits, we've had everything because all for
26:00
friends are welcome, So please bring whatever you have. All right. We
26:03
love seeing it. We love it, and we always posted a social media
26:04
I've been saying it's a big draw on social media too. Yeah, people
26:07
love it. Yeah. So it was monkey, the most exotic one you've
26:11
had, the most exotic dam Yeah, I think so, because I don't
26:15
remember the monkey's name. But he actually wrote us a letter after he came
26:18
to the game. The monkey wrote you a letter, yeah, and send
26:19
us. Have you been participating in the in the in thee get one beer?
26:26
No, we got a letter in the mail and it's like a picture
26:29
of the monkey, like actually drawing on a piece of paper and it's like
26:33
a picture and then a letter that says thank you for the fun or something
26:37
like that. And we haven't actually posted in our office on the wall so
26:38
people can see it. Okay, all right, big guy, have you
26:41
ever had a monkey write you a letter? I have not. Well,
26:45
there you go, I mean no, I have not. I know.
26:49
We all were like, what is this and then we were like, oh
26:52
my gosh, that's that monkey that was your life. There's Jeff, there's
26:56
some promo material. We're always looking for little snippets we could put in almost
27:00
h have you ever had a monkey write you a letter? That's that we're
27:04
not We're not limiting against anything, any furry friends, anything, even big
27:10
furry guys like Chris kick Cover. All right, let's talk about Saturday.
27:14
The game time is six thirty five Saturday. Let's talk about that, and
27:18
then we have fireworks after, which everyone loves. And we had our first
27:22
show last week and it was so good and I just tell everyone all the
27:26
time it's literally one of the best fireworks shows ever. I don't know what
27:30
it is about it, but it's like fifteen minutes and it is just such
27:33
a good fireworks show. So that'll appen postgame. Um, there's not really
27:37
that much else going on, but all of our on field entertainment is heightened
27:41
on Saturdays because we want, you know, fans to come and have fun
27:44
before the games. That's you're busy Saturday. The busy, Yeah, Thursday's,
27:48
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Because Thursdays or dollar beers Friday are the
27:52
giveaways and then Saturday's fireworks after, So we just try to pack that entire
27:56
script with nothing but entertainment and then we do launch a ball after. Last
28:00
week we played some dance music and we played Sweet Caroline before the fireworks started,
28:03
and everyone loved this. So that's what we just do. We constantly
28:06
are keeping people entertained and putting some fun elements in there, and then the
28:10
fireworks happened and Country Roads will play after and take you home. So have
28:15
you have you been to the Dirty Bird Stadium? Oh? Yeah, Okay,
28:18
I've been able to go. I travel quite a bit, so I've
28:22
been able to go a few times. Every time I've went, it's been
28:25
a blast. I've just had a and I've always trying to reschedule to go
28:29
back, and I've got a couple of dates in mind to come back and
28:32
enjoy up there. It's such a good time. Yeah. We do a
28:36
lot like I work with the sales team on you know, coming up with
28:38
different promotional items that we can add in games. So we've got like the
28:42
trike race from that we do with Harley Davidson and it's like big people on
28:48
eaty bitty trikes and they ride down the first base line, like just small
28:52
things like that that you would think wouldn't be funny, but then it happens
28:55
and it's hilarious and everyone loves it. And some of the stuff is the
28:59
same as last year, but we've got some new stuff incorporated. And after
29:02
we had a seven game home stretch for the first week, plus the NBC
29:06
tournament, so we had eighteen games in seven days at that ballpark. But
29:10
it was it was a lot, but our main goal is to get people
29:14
through the gates and let them have fun, and that's definitely what we did,
29:17
and we hope it continues this weekend, and of course you got there
29:19
in a couple of weeks, will be down for the state baseball tournament.
29:22
Yeah, that'll be coming over there too. Yeah, we've got this big
29:23
shout out to the defending champion Logan Wildcats alma mater, who are going to
29:27
take it again this year. Yeah, we've got the ten game home stretch
29:30
and then like right after that is the high school tournament, So we've got
29:33
about like one or two days off after that, and then we're right back
29:37
into the high school tournament. I'm talking about. I don't think we did
29:40
let's talk about Sunday. What we Sunday's Little League Day with the courtesy of
29:42
United Rental. Yeah, so they're Little League Sundays. We've had so many
29:47
Little leagues reach out and want to do that. So they would call and
29:51
they get an hour on the field to hang out with the players, pass
29:55
hit, whatever they want to do, and then that happens from two to
29:59
three and then they're already in there and then that gets into the game.
30:00
They get on the video board and just like having family fund for a day
30:04
just to elevate our Sundays a little bit, get more people there, and
30:08
you know, we don't we've never done anything with Little League. So it
30:11
was really cool that, Yeah, that's good stuff. Someone had this idea
30:14
and we've got about five hundred Little leaguers coming on Sunday, so that's that's
30:18
pretty cool that they get to experience that ballpark, because that's why I told
30:21
someone, those kids look at the ballpark like it's Yankee Stadium here, like
30:26
they love it. So it's really cool that we're able to provide them,
30:27
with the new turf and everything, an opportunity to be out there so well,
30:30
and there's so much has been written about the fact that baseball is not
30:33
as popular among kids as it used to be. And one of the reasons
30:38
that if that is true, one of the reasons that it's probably not is
30:41
that adults have not done a good enough job of introducing kids to the sport,
30:45
you know. And because black when I was a kid, you know,
30:48
and I'm like Chris, I'm an old guy, but you know,
30:52
baseball was just everything in my house growing up, listening to the Reds on
30:56
radio with my grandfather and his garage, you know. And if we've kind
31:00
of gotten away from that, and so if there's this is a great thing
31:04
that the dirty words are doing to get those kids involved, as you said,
31:07
get them out on that field, and they might as well be out
31:10
there with the Yankees. Yeah, and we've got you know, one of
31:11
our players is going to different schools and visiting. And then next Thursday is
31:15
actually our Latin identity debut. So we're playing as our Latin identity to show
31:19
appreciation because those Latin players have made baseball here the game that it is,
31:25
and I mean that is half of our roster. So we want to show
31:27
appreciation for them and let them know that we love them and appreciate them.
31:30
So we're our Latin identity debuts next Thursday, and we're wearing military jerseys on
31:36
Saturday because it's our Enforces Day that we're wearing military jerseys on a Memorial Day.
31:41
So we're trying to incorporate as much community involvement as we can, and
31:45
it only adds to it with having those kids out there on Sundays, So
31:48
we hope that they get to see all the cool stuff that we've got going
31:51
on too. At a lot of stuff. You guess to a fantastic job,
31:53
not only on the field, but as part of the whole game experience
31:57
and getting back into the community. That's one of the things that I love
32:00
about Andy and you folks is that you you believe in giving back to the
32:04
community and being a part of the community, and and seeing you at different
32:07
places not only the bucket but at other places that we see you hanging out.
32:09
That's good stuff. You never know what little thing that you do for
32:15
a child's going to impact their life, you know. That's that's huge.
32:17
Sports was very important for it. Yeah, when our pitching coach was visiting
32:21
schools, they like some kids didn't even know what the dirty birds were.
32:24
So then they went home and we've got teachers calling us saying, we can't
32:29
thank you enough for this, because now that they get to go out and
32:30
introduce their parents is something and it gets them out of the house and they
32:34
get to experience something new. So that was really cool too that we were
32:37
able to and we're still doing it. We're still visiting schools and he gives
32:40
them a talk about how it'd be a good person, be a good teammate,
32:44
and then they get to come to the ballpark because we give them a
32:46
ticket whenever they're there. So it's it's pretty cool that we're seeing that and
32:50
it's growing, and it's important to me because I'm from here, so I
32:53
love doing it. Well. Speaking of which, I have a text for
32:55
you. So Money texted me and said, tell Eden hello for me.
33:00
She's a former student of mine. She is a great gal. Oh do
33:05
you know who it is? Yeah, but I'm gonna let you guess who
33:07
it is. I don't know. It's it's Fred Albert. Oh, mister
33:10
Albert. Hi, mister Albert. He was my sixth grade math teacher,
33:15
one of the best all right, well at school. He was listening to
33:17
the show. Yeah, he was listed to the show and he just sent
33:20
me up, sent me a personal text on my personal phone. Here love
33:22
that and said that. So so apparently you were a great guy. You
33:25
said were I haven't seen him in a long time, but I promised mister
33:30
Albert. I still, all right, what did you learn in mister Albert's
33:34
class? What's I know it's math, But what's the one thing that really
33:36
stuck out to you? Oh gosh, that was a long time ago that
33:39
you use You use your math for batting averages? Now yeah, yeah,
33:43
idea for that, but MLB kind of does a four. All right,
33:45
I'm trying. I'm trying to. I'm trying to help out here. Yeah.
33:49
But and I know you do a lot of the budgeting too, so
33:52
so you use your math skills if you learned from mister Albert. Yes,
33:54
du punt there you learn you use that. I'm trying to. I'm trying
33:59
to make you feel reluck. He is, He's awesome. I've got some
34:02
cool stories really. Yeah. So my cousin got married at the women's club
34:07
one time, and it was when we had that huge snowpocalypse. And are
34:13
the person who brought the cake we're actually doing cupcakes. Forgot his mixer.
34:16
So we went down the street knocking on doors, not knowing anything, and
34:21
one person opens the door and it was mister Albert, and he let us
34:23
borrow his mixer. And I will never forget that. There I go,
34:28
there you go, there, you go. All right, pays pays knowing
34:31
people being a student small towns, because you never know when you're gonna need
34:36
a mixer. Said that at the bucket, right, you never know.
34:39
Uh, he'd I appreciate you being here. Dirty birds baseball dot com is
34:44

35:02
Yeah, so as long as there's not lightning anything, you guys should be
35:05
good to go by are night and went the rain last week. We only
35:07
had a delay for like ten minutes to make sure the field was ranked.
35:09
So it's it's been good a good Edan. I appreciate you being here.
35:14

I'm hanging in there, but you haven't survived ten questions yet. That's
38:30
coming up a little bit later. I'm a little nervous about that. You'll
38:32
you'll be five Texas Dave. I think one of the reasons baseball it's not
38:36
as popular as it once was is because when we were kids, you knew
38:39
who was going to be on the field for one team to the next.
38:43
Nowadays, it seems that each team fields a new team each year. Yeah,
38:46
that's that's true sports in general. But I completely agree with with with
38:51
what the text or says. They've got all these portals and stuff now to
38:53
where they can switch round and move and stuff, so I can't agree with
38:57
it. Are you big baseball guy? Are you baseball fan? I love
39:00
baseball. I played baseball, but I wasn't that good at it. Neither
39:05
was I. That's why I'm on the radio now. When I was in
39:07
the service, we did this on post leagues and I was the catcher,
39:13
so okay, I could catch the ball enough and people on third base couldn't
39:15
run me over. So well, that's true. I can see that Chris
39:20
is the owner of the Bucket in Dunbar, and you got something going on
39:23
called bucket Fest. Uh this weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday kicks off
39:28
of this evening. But when we talk about the bucket and bucket fests,
39:31
talk about Chris Atkins. Just give us a little bill on Chris Atkins.
39:36
Well born and raised here. UM. I was born in in seventy two,
39:40
just a few years ago. UM raised in UH in Charleston, el
39:46
Few, Buffalo, and Uh, Plinny, West Virginia. Is that downtown
39:51
Pliny or was that one of the suburbs of plenty? Uh? He was
39:53
downtown planet and been the planning You can drift thought in like sixteen milliseconds.
39:59
Okay, I'm familiar with it, but go ahead. Uh. And then
40:02
uh graduated from Nitro High School, was in Buffalo High School for a little
40:07
while. My dad liked to buy and sell houses, so we moved around
40:09
quite a bit. And I left for the military at the age of twenty
40:14
three, and I came back home and and um went uh was, had
40:19
a couple of children, got married to my wife now about twenty six years
40:24
ago, or started dating or kind of had a relationship for twenty six years.
40:28
We haven't been married that long. Um, but uh and then uh
40:31
was it got in the mining industry in nineteen ninety nine, and I've been
40:36
doing that and traveling around the world, have been to a lot of different
40:39
countries and got to experience the mining part of that. So uh, and
40:44
then I decided to try to do something in the hospitality industry, and uh
40:51
kind of rolled into the bucket. And I'm still in the mining industry.
40:53
I love that industry. That's that's kind of where my heart is. If
40:57
you can see parts of the world that you'll never you'll never see, and
41:00
every day our coal miners are seeing a new piece of earth that nobody's ever
41:02
touched. So I was gonna say that, you know, thank you for
41:07
your service, but I'm gonna give you a double thank you for your service.
41:09
Thank you, thank you for your service in the military, but thank
41:12
you for your service in the coal mighty industry as well. My pleasure.
41:15
You make a lot of friends over the years, and everybody kind of moves
41:19
around the coal industry from one mind to another and stuff. So as you
41:22
get older, you can kind of aid yourself by the positions they hold.
41:25
What made you decide to let to open up the bucket. I've always liked
41:31
that industry and it was kind of a I don't know, it's kind of
41:34
just a wild thought. At one point in time, a friend of mine,
41:37
we were talking and we said that, I said, I've always thought
41:42
about it, Let's do it. I had a name that I won't mention,
41:45
but uh so me and my wife talked about it, and I said,
41:49
let's give it a shot and see how we how we do with it
41:52
because she's she's very hospitable also. And we found the piece of property where
41:59
at right now and it was in pretty rough condue explain to people where it
42:01
is. It's explain where it is. Yeah, it's it's in done Bar.
42:05
It's right to end of rocks Lanta Road. Uh, there's the seven
42:08
eleven there. We're just to the right of seven eleven us. We've got
42:12
about four and a half acres. But we went in and had to clean
42:15
a bunch of trees and trash and what had been there before. Just it
42:19
started as a garden gazebo center years ago and there was a couple of different
42:23
bars that were in there, and then I kind of saw more of a
42:28
bar restaurant set up there to where you could add some nice relaxing area for
42:34
people to have a beer or have some good food or just kind of hang
42:37
out with level. And we've had birthday parties and life celebrations and in concerts
42:42
and bands, acoustics, and we've had so much stuff there. And there's
42:45
a there's a benefit there that's not financial. That's pretty That's pretty cool is
42:50
the people you get to meet. Yeah, yeah, and of course about
42:52
the food you know, that's where I always go. A wide range of
42:54
food items, great burgers, wings, pepperoni rolls, salad, soups.
43:00
It is and of course the ice cool beer doesn't help, doesn't hurt either,
43:02
you know. But but did you But you got a lot of things
43:05
there. What's the most popular item on the menu. We sell pepperoni rolls
43:08
like they're going out as Yeah, then you got good pepperoni roles. What's
43:13
your personal favorite thing on the menu? Uh? Currently than changes from from
43:19
time to time. Currently, Um, yesterday I had the salmon because we
43:22
do have some healthy options in there for for people that weren't healthy. But
43:25
my favorite is uh, it's the Uh, it's I caught the loose noodle.
43:30
It's got mic and cheese, pulled pork, barbecue sauce, American cheese
43:36
on saturdough, bread toasted, and it's it's It's not the best for you,
43:40
but if you're looking for comfort food, that is the one drinking diack
43:45
coke with it, you'll be all right. It sounds great. And also
43:49
I want to say this, I love your commitment to to live music too.
43:52
I mean, because I'm a big fan of live music. Whether I
43:55
like the genre of music or not, there's just something. And as somebody
43:59
who can not play a single instrument, I've tried guitar, piano, so
44:04
he just wasn't for me. I just couldn't do it. But I will
44:07
say that to anybody that has a commitment to live music, no matter if
44:09
it's a big venue, small venue, whether it's country, rock, blue
44:13
grass, gospel, hip hop, I my hat's off to him. Yeah,
44:16
