2:07
at West Virginia University, forty five million dollars in at and well, there's
2:12
a there's a website that looks into things going on at colleges. It's called
2:15
College Fix, and they discovered that in the midst of all of this budget
2:22
problems at West Virginia University, they got somebody there just thinking about two hundred
2:27
and thirty thousand, I think two undred and thirty five thousand dollars a year,
2:30
which is two hundred and ninety eight percent more than what the average WVU
2:34
employee gets paid. And I'm not talking about somebody that is the president of
2:39
the university. Going to get into the story is of a guy named Matt

the seventeenth Annual Trick or Beat powered by Todd Judy Motors, Goimar Ballpark Thursday
3:31
night. What he was from the beating is with us right now. What
3:34
are you good morning? How are you good morning? Big dog? How
3:37
you doing sir? I am doing well? Man. Seventeen years this is
3:40
the seventeenth annual Trick or Beat powered by Todd Judy Motors. Seems like it
3:45
was just yesterday, doesn't man to you? It might to you, It
3:49
might three like yesterday to me. Seems like seventeen years in the making,
3:53
my brother, But it's a beautiful thing. First, I want to congratulate
3:57
you. You know you can smell money from a mile away. When they
4:00
changed the name of a show, it's now the Dave Allen Shall congratulates my
4:04
friend. Well, thank you, as I said yesterday on the show,
4:08
and I already got a text about and somebody said, what happened to five
4:10
to eighty Live? What did I miss? Absolutely nothing? Just to name
4:14
change, you know. And about that smelling money part, man, are
4:16
you really going to talk about somebody making money Woodrow? I mean, come
4:20
on you, of all people, I got five kids in a grandchold.
4:25
I gotta be out every day. But I understand. Tell us about the
4:30
tricker beating. How the whole thing came about going back all those years ago?
4:33
Man, Seventeen years ago, a ex coworker of mine, still a
4:38
friend of mine, Lisa Lee, came up with something. He had a
4:40
little extra sons in college. Now that is crazy. He's at Marshall Go
4:45
heard. Yes. She's like, we need to do something that's safe and
4:47
well lit. So we hooked up with the ballpark. It was power back
4:51
then, and we've been going seventeen years. I never thought he's it like
4:57
this will go seventeen years, but it's It is happening this Thursday at Gomart
5:02
Ballpark, and it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, like Dave.
5:08
Literally, my phone hasn't stopped about tickets. Now here's the thing about
5:12
the tickets. They are absolutely free. We do not charge for this event,
5:15
but we must got it. We got to keep a count on how
5:18
many kids that's going to come up, because we did it one year in
5:21
like five six thousand kids that we didn't have enough candy. That wasn't right.
5:25
So now we cut it off at three thousand kids and three thousand we'll
5:30
be three thousand kids over at gomar Ball that we have two sessions now,
5:35
the first session, all the tickets are gone. The second session day we
5:40
got a few left. When I say a few, I'm talking about ten
5:43
fifteen, twenty twenty five, ten and five forty like it's less than one
5:46
hundred. So it's close to another sellout. Now, I don't know what
5:50
do we call it a sellout if it's free or what are you? I
5:54
mean? You could say, well, I don't know. I mean,
5:56
you're you're the promoter. You tell me I don't know, but I mean,
6:00
and it's important to know. This is why we do the tickets because
6:02
people you know, and I've been there for three years, but I followed
6:05
this. You know, going back years and years I heard about it and
6:08
people said, you know, why do you have tickets for a free event.
6:12
This is why you have to have tickets for a free event, because
6:15
if everybody showed up, you know, we'd be completely out of candy.
6:19
And so the first session is done, is what you're saying, right,
6:21
Yes, sir, the first session, those tickets are gone, and the
6:25
second session we got a few left. And if we don't do tickets,
6:30
we'll be there to the ventus Thursday. We'll probably be there this Saturday morning.
6:33
I give you a three day marathon. So we love we love the
6:38
interest in it, we love how people support this, we love the community.
6:42
I think we got over like thirty vendors that that's gonna be there passing
6:46
now, Candy and Dave. The best part about this, my friend,
6:48
Yes sir, we don't have like you know, you know, back in
6:51
the day you might get a tutsi roll or an apple, or some people
6:57
might even give you a piece of pie or something. You go walk around
7:00
the neighborhood. We got the good candy. We got the candy bars,
7:02
the Snickers, the Skittles, the reci cups like this probably This event has
7:10
won multiple awards for the best promotion in the state. Yes A Radio wise,
7:15
and we're gonna stand on that. Man. I think this is the
7:16
best promotion that any radio station have done in the twenty three years out been
7:21
in Charleston, and we're just gonna make it bigger and better. My brother
7:25
and my producer, Ryan Nicholson is in there literally licking the glass on the
7:29
studio right now. When you start talking about candy, he suddenly suddenly his
7:32
Thursday night freed up. He's going to be there. So how does you
7:36
said, there's a limited number of tickets. Where do people get tickets?
7:40
You can get tickets at any Tide Judy Motors location. I think they got
7:44
three. They got one in more Med, one in Saint Authres, and
7:46
one on Charleston's west side Sir Patrick Street. Then you can get them out
7:51
of our radio station eleven eleven Virginia Street East. And we just did this
7:57
this. We just put some tickets in Elements Federal Credit Union. I think
8:01
they got a couple locations that they got limited amount of tickets also, So
8:05
you go to Element Federal Credit Union and get those tickets that hour you get
8:09
your tickets today. Now, parents, you don't need tickets because we're not
8:13
giving you candy now, just your kids. So don't go grab fifteen tickets.
8:18
And you only got five kids, so please keep in mind it's a
8:20
lot of kids in our listening area, so just just grab the tickets you
8:24
need for your child, please or your children please. And our listening area
8:30
just tripled over the last couple of months when we moved the Beat from ninety
8:35
eight to seven to one oh seven to three. So now, I mean,
8:37
you know, people can always listen online or on the app or whatever,
8:39
but now people are listening to your station, the station of you and
8:45
Act right and all the others. They're listening in Huntington, now, they're
8:48
listening in Logan. I mean, they're listening in all these places right now.
8:52
We do. You're out there, man, man, I love it.
8:54
Man. I expect to see new faces. And that's what That's why
8:58
I've been in I mean, it's not about me. That's why we've been
9:00
in radio, yeah for a long time, to do this community work.
9:03
Man. It seems like it's an easy thing to the regular eye, but
9:07
it's a lot of work behind. It seems not just by me, the
9:11
whole entire staff at our radio stage. We bust our bucks to make sure
9:16
this is a fun, well lied. We've got Papa John's Pizza. It
9:20
is probably one of the best parties that you're going to see with young folks
9:24
in our state. And it's going down Thursday. I'm excited, my brother,
9:28
and there's no way that we could pull this off, Woodie without the

10:07
Mayor, like, we passed out a lot of candy in r booth,

16:34
Ryan Nicholson as our producer today. You know we've all heard and seen the
16:37
problems associated with college in America and here in West Virginia. You only had
16:42
to look to Morgantown to see the problems at WVU. To know what I'm
16:45
talking about, There was a publication called The College Fix, and they recently
16:51
published a story entitled amid massive budget cuts. WVU pays its Diversity, Equity
16:56
and Inclusion Director two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars annually. Now that is
17:02
two hundred and ninety eight percent two hundred and ninety eight percent higher than what
17:07
the average worker at WVU makes. Matt Lamb is the associate editor of College
17:12
Fix and he joined us now mag Good morning, Welcome to the show.
17:15
Thanks for having me. First of all, I want to learn more about
17:18
yours. I called it a publication, and old people like me refer to,
17:22
you know, things as publications. Talk about College Fix. What kind
17:25
of a what kind of an outreach is this is? The publication is online?
17:30
What is just a little little commercial for College Fix? Yeah? Thank
17:33
you. So the Collegefix dot com is online and we are a right leaning
17:40
education higher education news site. And the other great thing we do is we
17:44
actually train students in how to write stories, you know, go through primary
17:51
sources, interview people. So we have two missions. We report on higher
17:55
education news and then we also provide training to conservative, libertarian, center right
18:00
students that want to go into media. So I sometimes say we're sort of
18:04
like the farm team for Fox News, Washington Examiner, as well as other
18:10
maybe more mainstream news outlets. So and I appreciate that. Now either you
18:15
know, it's been documented by of all sorts of media, different outlets about
18:21
the financial problems at WVU. Now we learned the device president for DEI and
18:26
to us old people that sends for diversity, equity inclusion is raking in two
18:30
hundred and thirty four thousand, five hundred and thirty seven dollars annually plus benefits.
18:34
Now, the average worker, and we're not talking faculty, we're talking
18:37
about the average worker WVU makes around forty three thousand dollars a year. The
18:41
average full time faculty member WVU makes around ninety seven grand a year. So
18:48
if you're keeping score at home, the director of this program is making two
18:52
hundred and ninety eight two hundred ninety eight percent more than the average coworker of
18:59
hers at w AM. I correct about that exactly. So Misha Por she's
19:04
actually used to be a delegate and she runs a twelve person diversity office.
19:11
Her salary is actually about thirty six percent of the salary budget for that twelve
19:15
person department, which includes some people under that department, or let's say the
19:21
Americans with Disability Act coordinator. So people who have actually a quality job that
19:26
I think provides a good service are sort of lumpdin with the woke DEI chief
19:32
and her different functions. Now, again, this is an institution we're talking
19:37
about West Virginia University now MAD that's facing massive cuts and an estimated forty five
19:41
million dollar deficit exactly. And so we spoke to Adam Kissell at the Cardinal
19:47
Institute, and he said that DI offices and officers are expensive and often counterproductive.
19:52
And he suggested that West Virginia officials, particularly as you mentioned, with
19:56
this big deficit, should refocus on students success its for all students and not
20:00
pushing d I on campus. Now again, you mentioned her name, Michell
20:06
Porte. She's a former delegate and she is very well known in the Kanaal
20:10
Valley. And I want to stress that I'm not faulting. This is just
20:12
Dave talking. I'm not faulty miss Poor at all. I mean, she's
20:15
just trying to get paid. So I'm not blaming her for this, but
20:18
according to some of the research I did last night, her salary is in
20:22
line with several larger corporations in America with I mean, but the difference is,
20:30
Matt, those companies don't find themselves forty five million dollars in the whole
20:33
like WVU does. And I don't know what they're cutting positions like West Virginia
20:38
University is being forced to do now exactly, and you know, and in
20:44
fact, the d I things are continuing. Just in September, the university
20:48
hosted a what was called Diversity Week, which included playing with therapy dogs,
20:53
a social and environmental justice fair, as well as other related activity. So
21:00
no, I mean, and exactly, I mean, she gets paid the
21:03
position that's there. It's not like she necessarily created that gallery. But it
21:07
does speak to the broader problem, especially as you mentioned, as a university
21:11
is looking to cut program faculty. They are one of the better universities in
21:17
terms of reducing administrative blow, but they still have a big problem. They're
21:21
just a little less worse than maybe Stanford University or Harvard. So for those
21:26
of us that are old and don't understand what DEI folks do explain the whole
21:30
concept, whether it's a university or corporation, whatever, explain the whole concept
21:36
of this DEI and what exactly it means. Well, I'll tell you I've
21:41
been trying to figure out for years what they do all day. But basically,
21:45
a DEI chief pushes all of those those things you've probably heard about,
21:49
anti racism, critical race theory. Sometimes they do these white privileged walks where
21:56
they make all the white students say, you know, how privileged are you?
21:59
Do you have two parents? Are you Christian? You know, do
22:03
your parents have college degrees? So a lot of what they do is they
22:06
just generate animosity on campus. The college ticks dot com has a handful of
22:11
stories about universities that poured all this money into DEI and then there you know,
22:18
the racial climate, as measured by asking the black and the Hispanic students
22:22
didn't improve. In some ways, I think DEI works counter to it because
22:26
it tells people there's a problem of racism where there really isn't. And I
22:30
think a lot of this has exploded, as we've probably seen on college campuses
22:33
in the past few weeks with pro hamas students who are saying that Hamas's terrorist
22:38
attacks were just part of decolonization and fighting the oppressor. Yeah, I actually
22:44
watched a little bit last night. I know, he's one of the most
22:47
controversial guys out there and has been for some time. A lot of people
22:49
like him, a lot of people don't. I don't agree with everything he
22:52
does, but I'm I'm a fan of the show of Bill Maher, and
22:56
I was watching Bill Maher from over the weekend. I was actually watching the
22:59
show that I had recorded last night, and he was talking, you know,
23:02
and he is generally speaking seen as a leftist of the left, of
23:06
the most left of the left. He is speaking out against college campuses right
23:11
now, for he calls them the end and he went to an Ivy League
23:14
school, and he's talking about the indoctrination that's going on on these college campuses
23:21
with things like this, and so now that if you've got Bill Maher,
23:23
you know who's like, as I said, is to the left of the
23:26
left, or at least has been for years speaking out against these things,
23:29
you know, there's a problem. Absolutely. I mean, and we just
23:33
see this when speakers are shouted down the college bicks actually runs a campus cancel
23:37
Culture database, and we see these walls getting torn literally a wall was torn
23:42
down in Virginia Tech or University of Virginia. Statues are torn down, people
23:48
are canceled. There was actually a university that wanted to charge a higher security
23:52
feed for a speaker from this great group called Speech First because her last name
23:57
is Trump and she's not even to the president. But the school said,
24:00
well, students might get confused and cause all these problems just because you have
24:06
the same last name as a president who maybe isn't particularly popular among you know,
24:11
leftist academics and their students. We had a couple of texts here to
24:15
the show, and I want to give you an opportunity to address these again.
24:17
We're talking with Matt Lamb from collegefix dot com about some of the other
24:21
folks at WV. They mentioned Rob Alsop, but I know you're out of
24:23
state. I don't expect you to know all these people. But to the
24:26
president, Gordon Gee, I mean, these these salaries are out of line,
24:30
regardless of who they are and who hold the office. Would you agree
24:33
with that? Yeah, in many cases, I forget what the study's from,
24:37
but that they've compared college salaries to their equivalent in the corporate world,
24:45
and in many cases it's particularly among the administrative. I think they're much higher.
24:49
A janitor at a college orsus a jenitor at private corporation. It's just
24:52
roughly equal, let's say, or a landscaper campus police officer. But you
24:57
know, the equity the DI officers. I mean, most most small companies
25:03
don't even have the I officers, and for a good reason. So,
25:07
yeah, a lot of these salaries are just completely out of line with with
25:11
the rare equivalent because there's no way to measure the benefit of them. Yeah,
25:15
and this is something I mean, we're going to continue to see out
25:18
there. But is there a I mean, again, if a college,
25:22
in my opinion, can afford it, you know, more power to them.
25:25
And again I want to say, just for me, I'm my problem
25:27
is not with the person holding the office. My problem is with the system
25:30
in general that allows us to happen. If a college is if their books
25:33
are all inline and they can do, you know, more power to them.
25:37
But the problem, you know, Matt at WVU, is they're not.
25:40
And that's why we're seeing people And there's been many on this show and
25:42
on other places that I've talked about we've got to do something to WVU.
25:45
Seems like to me, from what you're telling me, this might be a
25:49
good place to start. Exactly. Look, I look, I've worked for
25:52
nonprofits my entire life, and you know, I've been in the meetings where
25:56
you look at the budget and you have a certain amount of money coming in,
26:00
and of course you know we're a nonprofit. We couldn't just go to
26:03
the tax pair like West Virginia can and just you know, fleece them out
26:06
of more money. And so I think every position is it's perfectly reasonable to
26:10
say should this be cut, should this be frozen? Perhaps you keep some
26:12
of the de staff, but you cut back on some of their activities,
26:17
or you maybe have them do something of actual value, perhaps running you know,
26:21
some sort of program to help maybe minority students or all students succeed.
26:25
And so absolutely I think it should be on the table. I mean,
26:27
I think if you're cutting the civil engineering program or discussing cutting it, that
26:32
the DEI chief we should be looking at what do they bring to the table,
26:36
What does her department bring to the table. And again no sort of
26:38
animosity against her personally, but just looking at it. From a number's perspective.
26:42
Yeah, well, it's kind of like I'm a big sports gap man.
26:45
It's kind of like saying, well, I don't think major League Baseball
26:48
players out to get twenty million dollars a year, but I don't fault the
26:49
first basement for the Yankees for taking the twenty million dollars a year because it's
26:53
there. Hey, Matt, it's been a pleasure to talking to you.
26:56
Is college fix dot com if you want to see more information on this and
26:59
others ords. This is not just a West Virginia thing. And I did
27:03
a deep dive into your website last night and your social media. There's a
27:07
lot of stories like this across the country, and so I would I would,
27:12
I would urge people if they want more information to go to that.
27:17
Matt. I appreciate you being here. We'll talk soon. Thanks a lot,
27:18
man. Yep, thanks having me twenty six minutes away from ten.

27:38
the issue and the reason I had Matt on the show had nothing to do
27:41
with me shapport personally. I don't know her. I don't fault her.
27:44
This is not her fault for getting paid. Okay, make that money,
27:48
that's what he WOULDS and I were talking about there, and make the money.
27:52
But is this really the best way to go about it? When you
27:55
have an institution that's forty five million dollars in the whole Texas. Why doesn't
27:57
the so called anti woo gade go after AEP. They have a major DEI
28:03
program. I'll tell you why. The so called anti brigade doesn't stand on
28:06
principle. It doesn't operate in good faith. Don't listen to this and sepid
28:10
moron. Well, although it's a utility, AEP is a private company,
28:15
so and well with a you know, I guess, I guess the power
28:18
company and utilities are one of those that kind of kind of you know,
28:22
straddle the line, so to speak. But they're still a privately held company.
28:26
They're they're a private company. If if IBM wants to do this,
28:30
a Toyota wants to do this, you know, more power to them,
28:33
in my opinion. Twenty five minutes away from ten the Day Valance Show brought

33:24
want to bring in the hardest working man in radio, Joe Bricado for Metro
33:28
and his Joe good morning, How are you hey? Good morning, David,
33:31
thanks for being here. The whole NFL world is talking about this young
33:35
man, Tyson Bagent, young man from Martinsburg, played his college ball at
33:38
Shepherd University, was undrafted, signed with the Bears, and really lit hit
33:43
up this past weekend against the Raiders in his first NFL start. Yeah,
33:47
tremendous performance, very efficient, nothing too flashy. They didn't ask him to
33:52
throw downfield on every snap, but they gave him a good playbook to work
33:55
with and he played very effectively. Completed twenty one out of nine passes as
34:00
first NFL touchdown pass. A very good performance from that young man. And
34:05
as you mentioned, the backstory is incredible, and it's interesting to see a
34:09
lot of the national people that covered the NFL start to pick up on it,
34:14
and it's starting to gain a lot of steam. Yeah, indeed,
34:17
and I've been reading about this guy for years. I had Woody Woods on
34:21
a little bit earlier what he spent some time up in Martinsburg, and he
34:23
talked about I guess that the gentleman's family lived near the radio station that we
34:27
have up there. But from the coverage that you've done and Kyle and the
34:30
others, Fred and the entire crew have done, this guy's been a big
34:34
deal for some time. He has been. Anybody who follows West Virgnia High
34:38
School football obviously knew what he did growing up, winning a pair of state
34:42
titles for Martinsburg in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen, and it was kind of
34:46
surprising that he never really generated not only any type of high level Division one
34:52
offers, but he didn't have any Division one offers. There were some schools
34:55
that were talking to him, but in terms of formal scholarship offer, Shepherd
35:00
was the best move for him, and it obviously worked out tremendously well.
35:04
Played five seasons there so that all kinds of records that you could possibly imagine,
35:08
and led Shepard to the NAA Division two semi finals in his last two
35:13
seasons. So, with all due respect to my alma matern, Marshall university
35:15
in West Virginia University and all the others. Where were they when this young
35:20
man was trying to decide to pick a college. Well, you're right,
35:23
it's not just it's not just West Virginia. It's not just Marshalls. I
35:28
mean, there's lots of other division you know, Shepherd's obviously not far from
35:30
Maryland. You would have figured that that might have generated a little buzz,
35:35
and Tyson did get some interest when he entered the transfer portal prior to the
35:40
twenty twenty two season. Some Division one programs were certainly on him, but
35:45
he made the decision to return to Sheppard and put up great numbers in that
35:49
final season there. And he was the first West Virginia, the first West
35:53
Virginia born and bred player to start at quarterback in the NFL. And quite
36:00
sometimes is that that read the nineteen sixties? Is that right? I believe
36:04
so? Yes. And to be able to win his first start, you
36:07
know, that's truly incredible. And what was interesting And I had a chance
36:12
to cover his pro day, or the separate university pro day back in March,
36:15
and there were scouts from thirty one of the thirty two NFL teams there,
36:20
and I kind of thought to myself, all right, this guy is
36:22
certainly going to get drafted, it's just a question of what round. So
36:25
it was a little bit surprising that he didn't get drafted. But I think
36:30
a lot of times you hear that if you're a player that maybe gets picked
36:34
in the back half of the seventh round or the last round, maybe it's
36:37
better for you to be an undrafted free agent because you can kind of pick
36:39
your spot. And perhaps this situation worked out best for Tyson because the Chicago
36:45
Bears quarterback position really wasn't a very deep room behind Justin Fields. They had
36:49
had a couple of NFL journeymen, and ultimately Baijorent beats out all those guys
36:53
to get the backup spot. And we see how that pays off once Justin
36:57
Fields got injured. And I know some of the people maybe think what about
37:00
Hostetler or Bulger or Chad Pennington Byron Left, which none of those players,
37:04
as good as they were, were from West Virginia originally as Tyson Beijing is.
37:08
Again we're talking to Joe Bricado for Metro New Sports. I wonder what
37:12
the Google searches look like for Shepherd University, Joe. After Sunday's game,
37:15
everyone outside of the state, maybe some inside the state trying to figure out
37:20
where in the heck is Shepherd University. Yeah, no question about it.
37:24
Undoubtedly Shepherd rams dot com has probably gotten a lot more hits over the last
37:28
couple of days then previously. And obviously that's still a heck of a program.
37:31
They're having another great year. But you know, it's also a great
37:35
showcase for the strength of football throughout all of the levels of college football.
37:39
I mean, you do have good players that come up at the smaller Division
37:43
I schools, the FCS level, and obviously there's lots of Division two football
37:46
players that break through every year and get into the pros. But it's interesting
37:52
to see that the quarterback position because it is so rare to have that.
37:55
So Justin Fields is a quarterback for the Bears. Now he's getting the big
37:59
money, so he's not to be going anywhere. They say, I think
38:00
I read somewhere about a month or two he may be back under under center
38:05
in the starting position. Is that right? Yeah? What Matt Evercluster head
38:09
coach, has said. Once Field is healthy and recovered from his thumb injury.
38:13
The job is his. He will not lose the job due to injury.
38:15
Now, Field did have a good performance against the Commanders recently in the
38:20
bears first win of the season, but wasn't exactly setting the world on fire.
38:23
So you have to wonder if Beagent, for however long he remains the
38:28
starter, has success, does he kind of win over the Chicago fan base
38:32
to a point where maybe they're okay if Fields doesn't come back and be the
38:37
starter. Now, again, it's a high investment that they made in justin
38:42
Fields and not so much enticson Beagent. So from the organization's standpoint, Field
38:46
is still their guy, but beaigent has an opportunity to gain a lot of
38:51
good will if he's able to duplicate the performance he had on Sunday. Well,
38:53
and I don't know what kind of contract deal that he's got, As
38:55
you said that he wasn't drafted. He signed as a as a free agent
38:59
for the Bears, Joe, So I don't know. Maybe sometimes situations like
39:02
this, you're auditioning for another team, you know, on down the line.
39:07
So they're certainly and again we don't want to we don't put this guy
39:09
in Canton just yet, Okay, he just he just had the you know,
39:13
they're really and as you said, it wasn't that he did had a
39:15
great game, but he managed the game. And sometimes in football that's all
39:20
you need, you don't know, I mean, there have been plenty of
39:22
Super Bowls that were won by quarterbacks that may not have been the best,
39:25
didn't really light it up, but they managed the game well. It didn't
39:29
make all the mistakes. And for mister Maagent Joe, for the rest of
39:32
us enjoy it because it's a great sports story for all of West Virginia.
39:37
And his dad was a World arm Wrestling champion too, is I think he
39:40
pointed out, Yeah, so you're picking up his story as well. Tyson's
39:46
father who gained a lot of attention as Tyson's profile started to gain. You
39:52
know, during the Senior Bowl, I remember seeing a lot of coverage,
39:54
well, who's this Tyson Bajon, Who's this Division two guy that's competing with
39:59
all of the blue chip prospects from the Division one level, And then you
40:01
start to see the story about I believe it's a twenty six time World of
40:07
Arm Wrestling champion. I'm not one hundred percent certain on the actual number.
40:09
But yeah, so obviously Tyson's father is picking up a lot of well arnered
40:15
attention as well. Alongside there's like ten different e sixties documentaries that could come
40:20
out of this whole story. Joe the Hardest working Man in Radio Joe Bricatto.

PODA designations in the city that allows for limited drinking certain times in certain places
41:21
downtown. More information is available at the City of Charleston's website and on all
41:24
their social media. Starts to night at six at the library. So here's
41:28
the deal. Get down there and ask questions. I mean, we have
41:32
a lot of folks that call the show and they complain about this in the
41:35
city. They complain about that. That's all well and good. That's why
41:37
I'm here. But it's an opportunity for you to have these folks not in
41:42
a city council type meeting, but you can actually talk to them at the
41:45
library six o'clock tonight. This is the I think the fourth one of these
41:49
they've had. They've got one more schedule. They've done them all over the
41:52
city. So get down there. If you're a business owner, if you're
41:54
somebody that doesn't live in Charleston but you work in Charleston, this is what
42:00
these meetings are for. Starts at six o'clock tonight at the library. I
42:04
want to get this in too before we go to break my friends at the
42:07
Benny Keatom Shrine. My good buddy Chris Wthrow text me yesterday about this.
42:12
They're going to be doing a trunk or treat event this Friday, starting at
42:15
six on the parking lot on Courier Share. This is their parking lot next
42:20
to the Kyle Seaman Convention Center. In fact, it's called You're Like This
42:22
Ryan Nightmare on Courrier Street. Now it's free and it's open to anyone who
42:28
wants to come by Friday evening. They're gonna start about six. Free candy
42:31
and Ryan, there's free candy. Did I mention this? Free candy for
42:35
you? Costumes are encouraged. So then there are so many of these things
42:38
that are going on the area. But there's no reason for a kid not
42:42
to get candy this year. And so this one's happening Nightmare and Courier Street
42:46
Friday night at six at Benny Keaton Shrine, free to the public. Bringing
42:50
kids down for that. Also, our sister station V one hundred is involved
42:54
in one of those I think Sunday at Bible Sunder Church. So again,
42:57
so many of these things going on there, and get out there and get
43:00
your kids all candied up, you know, get them full of chocolate and
43:02
mountain dew, and then send them to Grandma. All Right, we're gonna
43:05
take it a break. We're back after this from the Parmar Store studio.
43:08

47:00
and Timbers Show at the Kyloe Seuma Convention Center, happening this weekend. Let
47:07
me see, Texas, just heard the end of your interview about WVU doesn't
47:12
I don't know how much as a texture that Misha makes, but she's a
47:15
superstar per person who you would really like. Again, I can't speak for
47:19
the folks at this at college. Fix it's not about her, It's not
47:23
I mean, as a matter of fact, I even toyed with the idea,
47:27
let's don't even put a name in there. Okay, it's not about
47:29
her. She obviously applied for a job and that was the salary, going
47:34
in more power tour, get the money. I have no issue with her
47:37
at all. It's about the bigger problem I think is what they're talking about,
47:40
not against her at all. And if ms poor who I don't know,
47:45
she's from the Kenawh Valley, She's more than welcome to come on the
47:46
show. I do know that the folks at College Fix reached out to WVU
47:51
for comments from the university on this and they all decline comment. I do
47:54
know that. But now, if she wants to come on this show,
47:57
she is more than welcome to. My issue not with her at all at
48:01
all. Okay at all, Texas College Fix is all about the numbers.
48:06
And don't talk about the four hundred thousand and eight hundred thousand dollars salaries for
48:09
Allsop and Gordon g respectively or Gee, I should say, Nor do they
48:15
mention the excessive private playing expenses for Gee. Blame for the WVU situation to
48:20
ultimately rest with leadership Gi and Allsop. When a numbers person only complains about
48:24
the black person salary question, the motive, well, not everybody that holds
48:28
those jobs across America as a person of color. Because I actually looked into
48:32
that last night, and that's they're not all folks of color. Okay,
48:38
I got our winner here. Lillian McCown is our winner of the tickets to
48:43
the Log Show Log Home Show this weekend. So Lillian, I appreciate you
48:46
listening and enjoy the show. Really weird story out of Putnam County. It's
48:52
posed to wv Metronews dot com. A former employee with the Postal Service has
48:57
pled guilty to desertion of mail. He has. His name is Michael Burdette
49:01
and he's from Saint Albans. Originally, he admitted to placing mail and a
49:07
dumpster in Winfield at least twice. And the reason is because he was running
49:14
late for a personal matter, so he just ditched the mail and admitted that
49:19
he did had appointments, had something to with the family, whatever, just
49:22
do it behind a dumpster in Winfield. Now, to be fair, he
49:24
was kind of like a contract worker. He was hired by UPS as a
49:30
rural carrier associate earlier this year. He admitted that over two hundred pieces of
49:35
mail just got tossed. His sentencing is scheduled for January. He's facing him
49:40
to a year in prison and some fines and as I read this story last
49:45
night, I'm thinking, by all means, let's expand vote by mail.
49:52
I'm not an election conspiracy by any stretch of the imagination. You know me.
49:57
You know that. I'm the guy who said, as a Republican,
50:00
Trump lost the election in twenty twenty. I get it, but I'm not
50:05
so sure that expanding vote by mail is a way to go. And it's
50:09
stories like this, albeit maybe a isolated incident, that kind of solidify my
50:16
opinion on that. Now I'm not saying, don't get me wrong with this
50:20
guy was involved in election tamperum because there were no elections around that time.
50:22
Just looks like, according to his own emission, he was running late and
50:25
decided to just toss some mail behind a dumpster in Winfield. But things like
50:30
that do happen. I told you yesterday that Delicatemore Capita was somewhat critical of
50:37
Attorney General Patrick Morrissey for not wanting to take part in the Metro News gubernatorial
50:40
debate of Morgantound in December. Morrissey wants to wait until after the filing deadline,
50:45
which is in January. Well, now you could add Secretary of State
50:46
Mac Warner to the list of Republican candidates who are criticizing the AG two story
50:52
post to wv Metronews dot com, Warner says Morrissey is being quote disingenuous,
50:58
saying yesterday one of our sister stations, mister Warner, was that he said
51:02
that yesterday there Warner, Capito, and Chris Miller are all good with the
51:07
debate narrated a hoppy in Morgantown in December. Now keep in mind that no
51:12
one asks of yesterday is officially a candidate until the January finaling period is up.
51:16
Warner, Capitol, and Miller have all filed pre candidacy papers for governor,
51:21
while Morrissey still listed as a pre candidate for undeclared. I wouldn't read
51:25
too much into that, though. Morrissey's definitely going to be a candidate for
51:29
governor. I mean he's leading in the polls for governor and the money raising
51:31
departments as well. Tix says WVU came after Mishapor she was at the legislature.
51:40
YEP, that is true. According to a texture Texas mail carry throws
51:46
his LifeWay because he was running late on his route. Terrible decisions. As
51:51
a text all right. Coming up on the show tomorrow, Sandy Call for
51:52
Bridge Road Bistro is going to be here. Plus maybe Ryan, they could
51:58
send me to sort out the crisis in Israel because I have Democratic Party Chair
52:01
and Delicate Mike Pushkin and Senate Finance Chair Eric Tarr in the building at the
52:07
same time. Now they're scheduled for different times talking about different things, once
52:12
at nine twenty, ones at nine forty, but I am gonna try my
52:14
best to get the two of them inside the studio at one point tomorrow.
52:19
If I do that, I'm headed to the Middle East. All Right,
52:22
we gotta go. Thank you so much for my guests on the show today,
52:24
Hobbies coming up next with the News, Ryan Nicholson, Thank you so
52:27
much for their excellent job that you always do. I will see you tomorrow.
