  Speaker 6: But if you get an opportunity and Steve and I
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: go talk about that a little bit later on Coach,
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Welcome to the show. Tell us about this heard that team?
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they heard that team should look familiar to Marshall fans.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: Everybody on it this year has played with us in
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: the past. We're excited. We have a really good roster
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: and I think we have a chance to make some
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: noise in this tournament.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Who are some of the names people would recognize on
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the team.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: Well, we have some former Marshall guys, my brother, John Elmore,
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Tavarn Kenzie, the two leading scorers in the history of Marshall.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Right there.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: Steve Browning played at Marshall from Logan. Rondell Watson played
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: at Marshall from Greenbrier East. So we have a lot
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: of Marshall guys on the team. Then we have some
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: familiar faces like JA Cory Williams, JP Tokoto, Derek Cook
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: and some of the guys that played with us in
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: the past as well. So it should be a fun
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: team to come out and root on.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: How's practice been going so far?
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Coach, practice has been good. The only problem is, you know, John,
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: my brother and Tavon Kenzie are both in the NBA
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Summer League and their team just happened to go four
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: and oh, so they play in the semi finals Friday
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: night or not Friday night with Saturday we play Friday night,
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: so we might not get them back till the second game.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: But outside of that, the guys are locked in.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Talk about what it's like. And I had the coach
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: of Best Virginia, Jared West, on the show yesterday and
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: talk about what it's like when you know, this is
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: not like a traditional league or like traditional college or
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: the NBA. When you have a team that's together all
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: the time and you're lifting weights during the off season
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: doing all these things, I mean you kind of you're
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: kind of on a tight window here. I mean to
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: get all of these players in here, get the game
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: plan worked out. Talk about that a little bit.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: No, you're absolutely right, it's different. This is you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: you're playing for a million dollars, but you get guys
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: in you know maybe on a Monday, you got to
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: turn around play Friday. You know, during the year, they're
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: off with their professional teams, so you know, you don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: see them, you don't get a work on anything. So really,
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: you know, between Monday and Friday. We've just worked on
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: building a little bit of team chemistry, getting everybody used
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: to each other again. And you know, we don't over coach,
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: we don't put into many plays. The main thing is
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: get the guys you know, comfortable with each other and
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: then just let them do what they do.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: And of course I do want to mention that we
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: want everybody to show up in person, but we are
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: going to broadcast those games of the TBT the Best
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Virginia and I heard that game, so we're certainly looking.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Forward to that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Talk about this rivalry with with with Best Virginia. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: know you're focusing on other teams, but let's just let's
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: just cut right to it, this rivalry with Best Virginia.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if we get to play them, that means we
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: took care of business on Friday in the tournament. We're
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: one and one against each other. They beat us one
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: year in Charleston and then a couple of years ago
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: we beat them in Wheeling, so it would be the
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: rubber match of our TBT rivalry. The teams have both changed.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: In fact, they've stole one of our Marshall guys playing
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: with them. Big loss for us, but no, hopefully we
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: just get the opportunity to play each other. That means
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: we both want.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: What is it that the fans so enjoy about the TBT, Coach?
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: I think the fans enjoy the fact that, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: some of the stars of you know, yesteryear for both
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: of their schools are back and you know you get
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: to come watch them and support them one more time.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: I know, you know, with John and Tabon both had
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: you know, huge careers at Marshall, fans get to come
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: watch them and support them one more time. And the
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Kelly Green you know, same with West Virginia, the John
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Flowers and in that final fourteen, you know a couple
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: of those guys are still kicking around. Fans, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: fell in love with that iteration of Mountaineer basketball and
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: get it come support it one more time?
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: All right, coach, Well, we'll be in attendance and we
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: certainly do wish you the best of luck in the tournament.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Have a great tournam and hope you hope you take
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: home that million dollars.

  Speaker 6: am to come and do a radio show the love

  Speaker 3: Universityquarterback Club of Charleston's Valentine's Day dinner dance two and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: a half years ago, prior to I know that there
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: was just a buzz, even Woody, you know, and you
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: were both instrumental, and hey, we got to get this
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: guy back on the radio.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: So we had the corporate heads here had the idea
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: for the rock station, and they thought they considered going
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: in a different direction because they didn't know that you
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: would would be interesting because there was only so many
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: hours in the day. Yes, and so I started working.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I think I even took you to lunch. They did, well, no,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: I took you to lunch myself.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Food.

• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the heck was I thing? But yeah, it's worked out.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: It's been a ball and we're going to still continue

• 10:12
  Speaker 6: you can download the app and listen to us where
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: wherever you want. That's one of the that's one of
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: the things that's changed about radio since you and I
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: first got into it is literally, I mean, you can
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: listen anywhere in the world.

  Speaker 3: Myrtle Beach. He was listening on the app in the morning,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of cool.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, one of our regular listeners and textures
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: of the show here is in Florida. Because every time
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: they text me, they remind me that they're in Florida.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know who the person is, but they always
• 10:45

  Speaker 12: Bridge Valley's really focused on jobs that actually exist right

• 18:01
  Speaker 12: our classes are really tailored to what it is that
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: they need. We don't want anybody to end up in
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: a new job that we've helped prepare them for, where
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: they show up at work the first day and find
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: out they need six more months of training. It's very
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: important to us that you walk into any of our
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: employers in the region ready to work. And so that's
• 18:17

  Speaker 6: Bearon for thirteen News, I think they're going to be
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: a big part of it as well. So you can
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: come down and hang out with doctor Sachs and also
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: hang out with Amanda and all the folks from thirteen
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: News there as well.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they're always a good time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, always talking to doctor Casey Sachs of Bridge Valley.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: You got some open houses coming up with a couple
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: different companies, right.
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: So one of the things we do. We haven't open
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: house today, Okay today, Marshall Advance Manufacturing and Bridge Valley
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: have partnered to offer machine tool and so we jointly
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: talked to companies and found out what people need for
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: machine tooling. If it's an area that you're interested in
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: or something that you'd like to learn more about there's
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: a building on the South Charleston campus over on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: old over at the Tech Park, and we'd love for
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: you to come out anytime today between twelve and six.
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: Is an opportunity to just even learn more about machine
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: tool and it's a joint partnership between Marshall Advanced Manufacturing
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: and Bridge Valley.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: And this company. I mean, this is a very highly
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: respected company, so people can learn a lot when they
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: come out there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: Today, we hope. So it's a good way to get
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: an orientation. And if you've thought, if someone's told you,
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: or if you know, you really like making things and
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: maybe this would be a direction you would want to
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: go with your career, machine tooling my be the right
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: fit for you. It would be a great opportunity to
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: come just hear more and see what it's all about.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: And it's a growing field, right.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: It is a growing field. It's not like one of
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: the fastest growing fields in America, but it's really steady work.
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: One of the things that we see in machine tool
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: and manufacturing is that there's a constant need and the
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: businesses right now tell us that a lot of their
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: best people are at that age where they could retire
• 20:27
  Speaker 12: any day now, and so there's a lot of concern
• 20:29
  Speaker 12: that we need to start creating and replacing some talent.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, on the Midday Show a couple of days ago,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: I had a woman on who was really pushing women
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: in the trades, and she talked about that very same thing,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: and they do a lot with the getting women more
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: involved in the trades, and it's exactly what she said.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: You know, we're especially in West Virginia being as old
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: as stated as it is, we got a lot of
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: folks that are looking at retirement right now. There's going
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: to be some holes to fill.
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: That's right. It's a lot of incredible talent that we're
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: losing in lots of sectors. And so Bridge Valley's trying
• 20:59
  Speaker 12: to do our heart to make sure that we can
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: help people understand what those rules are and move into
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: some of those great jobs.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: And what time is the open house today?
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: It starts at noon and runs until six.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Noodle six over at the Bridge Valley. And I love this.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: You had a generous benefactor that wants to pay the
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: tuition for a student, and the way you described it
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: to me, it's being called a student that has unique
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: life challenges.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Talk about that, that's right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: So Gary Begley is one of the saints in our
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: community and he lost his wife and decided to create
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: a scholarship in her honor in her memory at Bridge Valley.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: It's called the Wave of Scholarship. Her name was Wave
• 21:41
  Speaker 12: a gene And the idea for the scholarship is that
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: he's paying all of the tuition for a student every
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: year in honor of his wife. And so it's really
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: it's for any program. It's for students interested in anything.
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: It's thinking about how do I get jobs and how
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: do I get back into the community. He's giving preferences
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: to someone who has unique life challenges. That's what he
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: asked for in his scholarship. So we're excited if one
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: of many new scholarships that we've opened at the college,
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: and it's one of those things it's really worth featuring
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: because it's such a good story.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: And how do people learn more about this or apply
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: for it? How does that work?
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: So first you apply to Bridge Valley and then once
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: you're a student, you work with our foundation and there's
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: lots of different scholarships that students qualify for, but if
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: this one sounds like a good fit. It's the one
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: you submit your application for and then the committee that
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: evaluates scholarship applications reviews what you've said.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: And I mean, I love that the way that the
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: mister Begley phrased that unique life challenges and that could
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: be a mean a number of things to a number
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: of different people. But it's really really cool in my
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: opinion that he wants to do that to honor his
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: wife's That's fantastic. That's good community stuff right there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: Doctor Sachs, it really is. It's a I think it's
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: such a nice way to honor her memory, and it's
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: a great way to help a student who has a
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: need in our community.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: All Right, remind people where they can learn more about
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: the cool stuff going on at.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: Bridge Valley doll at Bridge Valley dot edu.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: All right, doctor Casey Saxson, Bridge Valley, appreciate you being here.
• 23:08

• 23:45
  Speaker 6: noon today. Not sure yet of the status of my coworker,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Amanda Bear, and she's been feeling a little under the weather.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: She tried to come in yesterday and she made for
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: a little bit and then she wasn't you know. She's
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: not quite up to speed yet. So we'll hope that
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: she gets better. We'll find out whether she's going to
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: be here or not. I guess when I walk downstairs today.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: But we certainly wish her the best. She's really battling
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: with some non it's not life threatening healthy issues or
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: anything like that, of course, you know, just some things
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: that get us down from time to time, little sinus action,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: you know how that goes. But anyway, on the show today,
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: serious stuff. You're major flooding in the eastern Panhandle last night,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: as a matter of fact, it was a lead story
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: at wv Metronews dot com. Marsha Kavallak is going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: join us to talk about that and just some horrific
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: pictures being floated around out there. As I said, one
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: of those is posted as the lead story this morning
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: at wv metro news dot com. And unfortunately, it looks
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: like a lot of us, the entire entire area is.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: I think there's one section of the state, maybe in
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: the Greenbrier Valley, maybe that's not under a floodwatch, but
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: the entire area is under a floodwatch starting at two
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: o'clock this afternoon, and the meteorologists tell us we could
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: be looking at the potential for severe storms and heavy
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: rain over the next several days, literally going into the
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: middle of next week. And so we are going to
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: be joined by meteorologist Joe Fitzwater. In addition to Marsha
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: telling us what happened in the Panhandle, we're going to
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: talk to Joe Fitzwater about what's going to happen for
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: all of us around the state of West Virginia. That's
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: coming up on the show today, plus the battle over
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: food dies continue. Delegate Evan Warrell out of Cable County
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: has been one of the people that has really been
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: in the forefront of that battle. We'll talk to him.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: And yesterday on the show introduced you to somebody who
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: wants to be the new head of the state Republican
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Party in West Virginia. There's two three names floating around
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: out there. They're going to make that decision one week,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: I guess from this Saturday at their party convention in Morgantown.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: We introduced you to one of those gentlemen yesterday. Well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: there's another guy, pretty familiar name that you may have
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: heard of. His name is Josh Holstein, is a delegate
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: out of Boone County and he also wants the job,
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: and he's going to join us during the two o'clock
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: hour today on Metro Who's Midday and then after two
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: thirty it's Open Line West Virginia with your chance to

  Speaker 6: Welcome to the show.

  Speaker 17: Good morning Dave. Always a pleasure man, Always.

• 30:47
  Speaker 17: You got the Roddy Piper quote in the opening of
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: the show. Yeah, from the movie They Live. Yeah. So
• 30:52
  Speaker 17: this morning, when I was picking out what wrestling T
• 30:54
  Speaker 17: shirt I was gonna wear today, I said, I'm gonna
• 30:56
  Speaker 17: go with hot Rod for my buddy Dave.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Of course, I you know, recognized the Roddy Piper from
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: the early eighties. You know, Georgia Championship Wrestling and mid
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Atlantic wrestling.
• 31:06
  Speaker 17: Some of the stuff that he did up in the
• 31:07
  Speaker 17: Pacific Northwest, up in Portland and the Seattle area early
• 31:10
  Speaker 17: on in his career is really great stuff.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: You have to go back if people haven't seen it,
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: to watch the interview that he did with Chavo Guerrero
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Senior when he busted. This was on live television. He
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: busted a beer bottle over his head and bled like
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: a stuck hog on national tele I think that was
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: in Los Angeles. I think, man, my YouTube search history
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: is going to be so dude today.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: It always is, It.
• 31:35
  Speaker 17: Always is, it always is. All Right, So big announcement,
• 31:38
  Speaker 17: the Mountaineers are coming to town. Yep, Mountaineers versus the
• 31:41
  Speaker 17: Demon Deacons of Wake Forest on December sixth that the
• 31:44
  Speaker 17: Charleston Coliseum, the Holiday Hoops Classic. That's going to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 17: a great night of basketball in Charleston. And we're excited
• 31:51
  Speaker 17: to bring the Mountaineers back to the capital city.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: All right. And so, I mean, I was a little
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: research on this and the Sports department helped me out
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: with us a little bit. This is the first time
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: since two thousand and seven that the Mountaineers have played
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: a team of this caliber in Charleston.
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: Right, They had some games after that and I think
• 32:06
  Speaker 17: they played like Western Carolina and somebody like that. But
• 32:10
  Speaker 17: this is the first big time matchup in quite a
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: while here in the city of Charleston. And of course
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: the Demon Deacon's got quite a following.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: They do.
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: And there's history there as well, like some NCAA tournament matchups,
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: including an overtime thriller and what was at five that
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: you know, people still talk about. So there's history between
• 32:30
  Speaker 17: the two teams. There are two storied programs. It couldn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 17: be a better There couldn't be a better way for
• 32:36
  Speaker 17: us to really kick off what I think conceptually is
• 32:39
  Speaker 17: going to be a long term thing in Charleston, and
• 32:42
  Speaker 17: that is high level basketball early in the season in
• 32:45
  Speaker 17: the coliseum.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: And how did this whole thing come about? I mean,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: I think you guys been working on this. I don't
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: want to get two in the weeds, but how did
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: this whole thing come about?
• 32:52
  Speaker 17: Yeah, the promoter, a promoter named the companies called Gazelle.
• 32:58
  Speaker 17: They put these kind of games together, reached out. They
• 33:01
  Speaker 17: have a relationship with OVG and Patrick Lahey, the general
• 33:04
  Speaker 17: manager at the coliseum, and convention Center. So they reached
• 33:07
  Speaker 17: out conceptually as this something you'd be interested in, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 17: you know, that was a very quick guess. So then
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: it came down to, you know, finding the right date,
• 33:14
  Speaker 17: finding the right matchup, and the matchup for me was
• 33:17
  Speaker 17: one of the things I was most excited about because,
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: as you know, and you and I have talked many
• 33:21
  Speaker 17: times about tourism and visitation to Charleston, and you know,
• 33:24
  Speaker 17: my sort of philosophies were very data driven. And when
• 33:28
  Speaker 17: we look at and we just put out our annual
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: report yesterday, when we look at the top markets where
• 33:34
  Speaker 17: people visit from our origin markets consistently, Charlotte and Raleig
• 33:39
  Speaker 17: Durham are in the top five or six, and then
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: not far below that is Winston Salem. So we're looking
• 33:45
  Speaker 17: at a storied basketball program from an area where we
• 33:50
  Speaker 17: have high level visitation. And then you combo that with
• 33:53
  Speaker 17: Pittsburgh being our number one market for the last couple
• 33:56
  Speaker 17: of years, which includes the Morgantown area as part of
• 33:59
  Speaker 17: their DMA, and then other strong markets for US in
• 34:03
  Speaker 17: state like Wheeling, Parkersburg, Beckley, Bluefield, Clarksburg, Weston, hotbeds of
• 34:07
  Speaker 17: WVU fans, Charlotte a lot of expatriots that live down there.
• 34:11
  Speaker 17: So we just look at this conceptually and say, my goodness,
• 34:14
  Speaker 17: what a great matchup for us from a market standpoint.
• 34:17
  Speaker 17: So I think we can drive a lot of visitation
• 34:19
  Speaker 17: because not only do you have that game, but what
• 34:22
  Speaker 17: better time to visit Charleston than in December because you've
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: got all this great stuff happening around the holidays. You've
• 34:27
  Speaker 17: got Light the Night at Gomart Ballpark. Nobody's more excited
• 34:31
  Speaker 17: about this announcement than Andy Shea at Gomart Ballpark. You've
• 34:34
  Speaker 17: got Holly Jolly Brawley, You've got weekend activities at Capital Market.
• 34:37
  Speaker 17: So we're bringing two universities with big followings from markets
• 34:41
  Speaker 17: that are good for us at a time when there's
• 34:43
  Speaker 17: a lot of activity. I mean, it's going to be
• 34:45
  Speaker 17: a home run. I'm sure of it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Is this the same weekend as the football championships?
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: It is?
• 34:50
  Speaker 17: And I'll address that head on because I just had
• 34:53
  Speaker 17: a good conversation with my old friend Fred Persinging. I
• 34:56
  Speaker 17: mean old in the sense that we've known each other
• 34:58
  Speaker 17: for a long time.
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: It is.
• 35:00
  Speaker 17: It's the Saturday of the state high school football championships
• 35:03
  Speaker 17: that will be the Saturday night, the last night of football.
• 35:08
  Speaker 17: I will spin this in a positive way and say,
• 35:10
  Speaker 17: and again something else we've talked about, it's always better
• 35:14
  Speaker 17: when we can combo things. So I look at it
• 35:17
  Speaker 17: from the perspective of and if I'm doing the math
• 35:19
  Speaker 17: right and doing the matchups right. This year, the Saturday
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: night game would be the Triple A game, which last
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: year would have been Herbert Hoover and Bridgeport. The game
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: before that would be Double A, which last year was
• 35:31
  Speaker 17: Roane County and Frankfort. That would be the Saturday afternoon
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: game Double A. Friday night would be Single A, which
• 35:38
  Speaker 17: is last year was East Hardy and Wahama. First game
• 35:42
  Speaker 17: would be Quada on Friday afternoon. But if you're someone
• 35:45
  Speaker 17: coming for the Friday night game, or really the Saturday
• 35:47
  Speaker 17: afternoon game, we're giving you extra incentive to not only come,
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: but then stay longer. So hypothetically or theoretically, last year,
• 35:57
  Speaker 17: we would have really marketed hard to the folks from
• 35:59
  Speaker 17: frank and East Hardy specifically and said, Hey, come to
• 36:02
  Speaker 17: Charleston and stay for a really great basketball game after
• 36:07
  Speaker 17: your football game. So I look at it as an
• 36:09
  Speaker 17: opportunity to engage folks that are already coming in town
• 36:13
  Speaker 17: or maybe thinking about coming to town for something else
• 36:15
  Speaker 17: and giving them an additional activity.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, I just it amazes me how much stuff
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: is we talk about it over and over again, is
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: going on at one time, and it's and and and
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: you and I have discussed this back in an old
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: way of thinking about this would be well, people have
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: got to pick and choose, and there's something to be
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: said for that. However, with this, like you said, you
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: can these folks from out of town, and folks intown
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: for that matter, too, can come in. They can shop
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: downtown Charleston, they can go to the restaurants, whatever, they
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: can go over and see light the night. They can
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: go to Holly Jolly Browley, uh and take in whatever
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: football game that they want to and still stick around
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: for the Mountaineer game.
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: That's right.
• 36:51
  Speaker 17: The only the only when we're talking specifically about the
• 36:54
  Speaker 17: state high school FOOTBA championships, the only game that it
• 36:56
  Speaker 17: impacts is that last game. And if you're coming, if
• 36:58
  Speaker 17: you're a if you're a passionate fan of that football program,
• 37:01
  Speaker 17: you're not going to not go to the football game
• 37:05
  Speaker 17: and instead go to the WU basketball game. So again,
• 37:07
  Speaker 17: in the hypothetical world of last year's matchups. The folks
• 37:10
  Speaker 17: from Hoover and the folks from Bridgeport are still going
• 37:12
  Speaker 17: to go to that football game, so it's not going
• 37:14
  Speaker 17: to negatively impact the gate at the state high school
• 37:17
  Speaker 17: football championships. I think there's an opportunity if we market
• 37:20
  Speaker 17: this right to increase their gate for the other games
• 37:24
  Speaker 17: by again marketing to people and saying, hey, if you
• 37:27
  Speaker 17: come to the game, there's also this going on.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I got a brain thrust here. Okay, okay,
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: let's go. All right, let's go. If they're only there
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: were a radio network in West Virginia that covered the
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: entire state that you could advertise on.
• 37:41
  Speaker 17: You know what, I think that's a great idea. Let's
• 37:44
  Speaker 17: you and I talk after this and see if we
• 37:46
  Speaker 17: could put something together. Sounds good, but no, I think,
• 37:49
  Speaker 17: and all jokes aside. I mean, I think the Metro
• 37:51
  Speaker 17: News radio network is going to be a huge part
• 37:53
  Speaker 17: of this for us, you know, carrying Mountain or basketball
• 37:58
  Speaker 17: on a lot of those stations already anyway, carrying high
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: school football. I think absolutely without question that that's a
• 38:05
  Speaker 17: really great opportunity that we have here to talk to
• 38:08
  Speaker 17: the entire state and beyond.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 17: So yeah, I think Metro News becomes a part of that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 17: I guess I owe Chris Cleighorn a call, yeah, or
• 38:17
  Speaker 17: Dave Allen. Okay, I'm kidding. The clagg is the man,
• 38:21
  Speaker 17: he really really is. Nine to forty five.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Let's talk TBT here real soon, because I've had the
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: last two days. I've had both coaches on Coach West
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: and coach Ailmore, and it's about time to put the
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: ball in the air.
• 38:32
  Speaker 17: Yeah, games start tomorrow. I was at the Coliseum yesterday.
• 38:35
  Speaker 17: The building looks great. It's going to be a super
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: fun environment. Ticket sales are strong. We want to continue
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: to drive ticket sales because again the model that we
• 38:45
  Speaker 17: have this year, as teams win and as they sell tickets,
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: the highest selling ticket markets get to host additional games.
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: So let's keep the Mountaineers or heard that playing Best
• 38:55
  Speaker 17: Virginia sorry, or heard that playing in Charleston. So I
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: think it's going to be great, best fotball, high level basketball.
• 39:02
  Speaker 17: It's a known quantity now in the community. People have
• 39:04
  Speaker 17: had a great time the last couple of times they've
• 39:06
  Speaker 17: played here. I think, you know, great weekend of basketball,
• 39:11
  Speaker 17: and now we have this big announcement to go along
• 39:13
  Speaker 17: with it and generate enthusiasm a lot of good stuff.
• 39:16

  Speaker 6: Good good answer. It's David Bradley is the acting director
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: of the Lottery. Appreciate you being here as well. I
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: got to ask you. The last time we had you
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: on the air was during the Metronews midday show and
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: you told us the story about those There were two
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: one million dollar tickets out there, two several one million
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: dollar tickets, one sold at Marty Gras and one sold
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: at a palm Our location and they had not been claimed.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: Has anybody stepped forward on those shows.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: No, We're still waiting for the lucky winter to come forward.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: So somewhere out there in the in the vast radio land,
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: there are there, you would think, I guess two people
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: out there that have tickets in their pockets right here
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: in the Kanav Valley that are worth a million dollar.
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: We've got two tickets that one was purchased in March
• 44:05
  Speaker 18: of this year and the other one was May of
• 44:07
  Speaker 18: this year, and you have one hundred and eighty days
• 44:09
  Speaker 18: from the date of the drawing to claim the winnings.
• 44:12
  Speaker 18: And the first ticket was expires in September September eighth,
• 44:17
  Speaker 18: twenty twenty five. That was the ticket purchased actually at
• 44:20
  Speaker 18: the Parmar in.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: Hurricane, and that's one in downtown Hurricane and Hurricane Oh yeah, okay,
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: and then the other one was purchased at Marty Grawn.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: It expires November six.
• 44:30
  Speaker 18: So you know, we're encouraging folks to get out there
• 44:33
  Speaker 18: and check their purses, check under the car seats.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I said, you laugh, but listen, there's a story on
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: that story.
• 44:40
  Speaker 18: We were talking about it coming over here. You know,
• 44:43
  Speaker 18: while we're encouraging people to check their tickets and look
• 44:45
  Speaker 18: for them, we had a gentleman who purchased a ticket
• 44:50
  Speaker 18: and he had lost it and couldn't find it. And
• 44:54
  Speaker 18: he said, well, I just played the same numbers all
• 44:56
  Speaker 18: the time. So he went and bought the same tickets
• 44:59
  Speaker 18: before the before of the drawing because he had lost
• 45:02
  Speaker 18: his ticket, and he bought the same exact numbers, and
• 45:05
  Speaker 18: then he ended up winning two million dollars. Each ticket
• 45:08
  Speaker 18: was a million dollars. And he found his ticket in
• 45:10
  Speaker 18: his truck.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: It was in his car.
• 45:12
  Speaker 18: It had been tucked away in his seats, in between
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: his seats. So if you're out there listening and you're
• 45:16
  Speaker 18: in your car, check your consoles, check your glove box,
• 45:19
  Speaker 18: check under the seat, duffel bag, book bag, check anywhere
• 45:22
  Speaker 18: you think you might have bought that ticket.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: It's it's they're they're out there.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: Well, since I had you folks on the show, uh,
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: you know, a couple of weeks ago when you came
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: on Metro News Midday with a man did me? Ever
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: since that time, it's like I've become obsessed with this story,
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: you know, uh about because there's just somebody. There's two
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: people out there walking around and somewhere in their console
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: and their pocket maybe and Amanda brought this up. Maybe
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: somebody was a gift. Somebody bought somebody some tickets and
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: they didn't even look at it and they just throw
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: it in the drawer. There are somewhere out there, there's
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: a there's two separate million dollar tickets right here in
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: the d I mean one was purchased at Marty gar
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: Cassino and the other one was, uh was purchased at
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: a the parm Oar store in a hurricane. So if
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: you got tickets from there, you may want to check
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: it because you're a millionaire. You know, two of you,
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: there's two millionaires.
• 46:09
  Speaker 18: You're good good advice and you know time's running out,
• 46:11
  Speaker 18: you know, like I said, September, September eighth, and November six,
• 46:15
  Speaker 18: so you know, be sure and check those tickets.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: And you know you mentioned when we came on the air.
• 46:20
  Speaker 18: I appreciate you having us, and we like to get
• 46:23
  Speaker 18: on and let people know that, you know, the lottery
• 46:25
  Speaker 18: does do a lot of good and it is National
• 46:27
  Speaker 18: Lottery Day, and I just want to add, you know,
• 46:29
  Speaker 18: since nineteen eighty six, it's the inception of the lottery,
• 46:32
  Speaker 18: we've generated over thirteen point six billion for senior citizens,
• 46:37
  Speaker 18: education and tourism. And you know it goes to support
• 46:41
  Speaker 18: you know, meals and wheels for the seniors, and computers
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: into school, you know, helps renovate schools, build schools, and
• 46:47
  Speaker 18: the promised scholarship is huge. So I just want to
• 46:50
  Speaker 18: make sure, you know, with a been National Lottery Day,
• 46:52
  Speaker 18: get that out.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: I think we kind of forget that sometimes because the
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: lottery has been around for so long. I'm old enough
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: to remember you and I are I don't know what
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Katie is, but old enough to remember when the lottery
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: was first developed in West Virginia and there was controversy
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: about it just because we hadn't had it, you know before, Uh,
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: and it turned out. I mean, there were a lot
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: of promises made what the lottery and funds were going
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: to go for by goys. You you know, you folks
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: delivered and I mean it. You are seeing the money
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: used in communities. Whether you realize it.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Or not, you're you're exactly right.
• 47:24
  Speaker 18: And and this year, you know, we did one point
• 47:25
  Speaker 18: three billion in sales and we contributed a little over
• 47:29
  Speaker 18: Hopefully it's gonna be around six hundred and eleven million.
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: For the for the state budget.
• 47:34
  Speaker 18: So you know, we do a lot of good And
• 47:37
  Speaker 18: I always like to say that, you know, when when
• 47:39
  Speaker 18: people play, we all win, you know, so it does.
• 47:42
  Speaker 18: It does a lot of good for the state. It
• 47:44
  Speaker 18: goes to a lot of good causes, and it's a
• 47:46
  Speaker 18: team effort at the lottery. You know, there's a lot
• 47:48
  Speaker 18: of good folks. I always like to say, you know,
• 47:50
  Speaker 18: we know one person does it alone. And you know,
• 47:52
  Speaker 18: we we've got good people, and we really appreciate all
• 47:55
  Speaker 18: of our players. We're thankful and grateful for you know,
• 47:58
  Speaker 18: all of our retailers and the people that make this
• 48:00
  Speaker 18: thing work, because it takes a lot of people to
• 48:02
  Speaker 18: uh to make it work, and it does do a
• 48:05
  Speaker 18: lot of good.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: We had a text here, So that's David. If he
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: has a basketball hoop and has lottery office. Seriously, he'll
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: do tremendous job with the Lottery. I mean, you're not
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: new to this job. I mean, you know, you're the
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: acting director, but you've been around a while.
• 48:17
  Speaker 18: I've been been with the Lottery for thirty five years
• 48:20
  Speaker 18: and you know, uh, when I first came to the lottery,
• 48:23
  Speaker 18: you know, the only thing we had was traditional traditional games.
• 48:26
  Speaker 18: Are you know, our scratch offs in our daily three,
• 48:28
  Speaker 18: daily four games. So I've been lucky to see the
• 48:31
  Speaker 18: Lottery evolve grow.
• 48:32
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: The one thing I.
• 48:33
  Speaker 18: Always say is that we have to change and change
• 48:35
  Speaker 18: with technology, and the Lottery has changed. You know, we
• 48:38
  Speaker 18: got we got all the games that are that are
• 48:40
  Speaker 18: available out there for for legal gaming, and you know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 18: it's just it's it's like I said, you have to
• 48:46
  Speaker 18: be willing to change and it has changed.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: Over over all the years.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: But you didn't answer the question do you have a
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: I do not have a basketball hoop involved. I figure.
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: I think one of the reasons why you don't because
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: you don't want to go back to the memory that
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: you have from a certain basketball when when a when
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: a certain school that shall remain unnamed Logan Wildcats. But anyway,
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: I'm just kiding about that, David good natured humor there, No, I.
• 49:12
  Speaker 18: Appreciate that, but you know, uh, athletics were an important
• 49:16
  Speaker 18: part of my life. It's been important part of my
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: kids life, and you know so. But it teaches you
• 49:21
  Speaker 18: to be a team player, teaches you to get along
• 49:23
  Speaker 18: with with with folks and take direction and be able
• 49:25
  Speaker 18: to get out there and work with everybody.
• 49:28
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: And I had aunt Elmore on the show the coach
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: of of heard heard that earlier and you had an
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: Elmore story, right, Yeah, they Elmore's.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I'm really close to them.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 49:37
  Speaker 18: I went to high school with with their their father Gay,
• 49:41
  Speaker 18: who's a great player. They're all great players. And but
• 49:43
  Speaker 18: I actually coached John and Ought and you know once,
• 49:47
  Speaker 18: uh long time ago. I was a middle school coach
• 49:50
  Speaker 18: at South Charleston Middle School. So I did have those guys.
• 49:53
  Speaker 18: And those guys are not only great basketball players, all
• 49:56
  Speaker 18: three of them in that family. But you know those
• 50:00
  Speaker 18: John and Ought and Uh and Gay, you know that
• 50:02
  Speaker 18: they're good people and they're they're good they're they're good
• 50:04
  Speaker 18: people in the community.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I always wish them.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: Well, John's actually out in the in Sacramento. Uh, and
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: he's playing in the NBA Summer League and so uh
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: when he had coach Elmore on earlier, he said he
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: didn't know whether John was going to be able to
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: make it back to maybe the second game if they
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: if they advance and they have a second game.
• 50:22
  Speaker 18: So I just I hope the best for for for
• 50:24
  Speaker 18: those for those guys. And I always tell John want
• 50:26
  Speaker 18: to see him. You know, when I coached him, we
• 50:28
  Speaker 18: used to shoot a lot and uh, uh, see who
• 50:31
  Speaker 18: can make the most three point or so, John, if
• 50:32
  Speaker 18: you're out there listening, you still owe me a bag
• 50:34
  Speaker 18: of hot ries.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: So uh, you know, how can you going back to
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: the to the games that you developed, How exactly do
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: you decide? I mean, do you have like everybody sitting
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: around a room and come up with ideas you watch
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: what other states do? How how do you decide the
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: war room? How tell me about the war room?
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: Well, I think that I think the lottery you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 18: like I said, it's always evolving. And since I've been there,
• 50:54
  Speaker 18: you know, when I first came there, we just did
• 50:56
  Speaker 18: traditional games and then we added racetrack video lottery. Then
• 50:59
  Speaker 18: we added table games, and then we added you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 18: sports batting, and then the eye gaming has been huge,
• 51:06
  Speaker 18: and then now we're doing ie lottery where you can
• 51:09
  Speaker 18: buy all your lottery proceeds and or all your lottery
• 51:12
  Speaker 18: tickets and you can buy everything on your phone and
• 51:15
  Speaker 18: on your app. And I think, you know, the big
• 51:16
  Speaker 18: thing with the lottery is it's like I said, it's
• 51:18
  Speaker 18: always changing, and they're trying to find our you know,
• 51:20
  Speaker 18: we're always trying to find our niche and find out.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: You know, who are we marketing, who are players?
• 51:25
  Speaker 18: And you know, so we're always looking to see what
• 51:28
  Speaker 18: games are out there, what other states are doing, what's
• 51:30
  Speaker 18: in the industry, and we always try to be current
• 51:33
  Speaker 18: and relevant.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: And how much feedback do you get from from your customers?
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: I mean people you know contacting you about they like this,
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: they don't. I mean, I guess your sales will will
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: tell you whether people like that particular game or not.
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: But but if people are regular lottery players and they
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: just have an idea or they like this, don't lay
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: I'd like this? I mean, how do you handle feedback?
• 51:52
  Speaker 18: Are We're always open to feedback in our and our players.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: You know they know it.
• 51:57
  Speaker 18: You know sometimes when we're talking about the rules of
• 52:00
  Speaker 18: the game or somebody calls in and you're talking to
• 52:02
  Speaker 18: a player, sometimes you know they know what's going on.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: And so we always welcome feedback.
• 52:09
  Speaker 18: And like I said, we try to stay current and
• 52:10
  Speaker 18: try to stay relevant, try to stay fresh in the industry.
• 52:13
  Speaker 18: But they, our players are always fair with us, and
• 52:16
