Speaker 2: Humaine Association is here with this week to do me
2:14
Speaker 2: please pet of the Week Chris Lawrence and Tom Bragger
2:17
Speaker 2: here to talk a little high school football. Chris, good morning, morning,
2:21
Speaker 2: and welcome to the show. Hey do man, I'm doing well,
2:23
Speaker 2: are you? Are you about half in a tree stand
2:25
Speaker 2: somewhere right now?
2:26
Speaker 4: Yeah?
2:27
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be there next week, all right, But I
2:29
Speaker 2: mean your mind is there right?
2:31
Speaker 5: No?
2:32
Speaker 2: Okay, Now my mind is on how I'm going to
2:33
Speaker 2: get from here to Jefferson with the limited amount of
2:37
Speaker 2: time I've got to get there, and it's going to
2:39
Speaker 2: be raining, it's going to be right, So that's that's
2:41
Speaker 2: my concern. And then to get back here tomorrow to
2:43
Speaker 2: do Westreet outdoors. Yeah, so anybody can do it. You can't, well,
2:48
Speaker 2: we'll find a way.
2:48
Speaker 5: For all right.
2:49
Speaker 2: So we got you, guys, got Jefferson and gw tonight.
2:53
Speaker 2: How long a trip up is that I've been there,
2:54
Speaker 2: But how long a trip is? According to Google Maps
2:56
Speaker 2: it's four and a half hours. I think it's more
2:59
Speaker 2: like five and a half in factor in the rain,
3:01
Speaker 2: and with the rain, it'll probably be a little more
3:03
Speaker 2: than that. So Aaron and I are going to try
3:05
Speaker 2: to leave around twelve thirty, hopefully to get there by
3:08
Speaker 2: six thirty for kickoff. So talk about this matchup, Well,
3:11
Speaker 2: it is a rematch of the game they played on
3:14
Speaker 2: October eleventh when the weather was fantastic. Yeah, that was
3:17
Speaker 2: a Saturday afternoon game which I called that one as well.
3:20
Speaker 2: We had it on WCHS and that was a back
3:24
Speaker 2: and forth battle that GW got down a couple of scores,
3:28
Speaker 2: came back and went all the way down and scored
3:30
Speaker 2: with only like a couple of seconds left. They were
3:35
Speaker 2: lining up to go for the extra point send it
3:38
Speaker 2: into overtime, but Jefferson committed two penalties, and after those
3:43
Speaker 2: two penalties and two half the distance to the goals,
3:47
Speaker 2: the GW coaching staff managed to tuck Steve Edwards Junior
3:50
Speaker 2: into going for two and he I don't think he
3:54
Speaker 2: really wanted to do it, but he did agree, and
3:56
Speaker 2: they went for two and they didn't get it, and
3:58
Speaker 2: it was a one point loss. Were the Patriots, and
4:01
Speaker 2: arguably it was where Jefferson's season jump started because they
4:04
Speaker 2: haven't lost, they haven't lost since, they've won every game
4:07
Speaker 2: since they've got They beat g W, and they beat
4:10
Speaker 2: they beat some pretty stiff competition over in neighboring Virginia
4:13
Speaker 2: as well, but they had a pretty front loaded schedule
4:15
Speaker 2: to begin with with Martinsburg and a couple of teams
4:18
Speaker 2: from Virginia that are perennial powerhouses there, so it was
4:21
Speaker 2: a rough start for them. But they are definitely cooking now.
4:25
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see if GW can go
4:27
Speaker 2: over there and return the favor in their house like
4:29
Speaker 2: they did here on the Hill. All right, it should
4:31
Speaker 2: be a great one. What times coverage, We'll begin at
4:33
Speaker 2: six point thirty, possibly a little later if we get
4:36
Speaker 2: there late, but kickoff is at seven o'clock and we'll we'll, we'll,
4:40
Speaker 2: we'll definitely be there by that. And what we're hoping
4:42
Speaker 2: in all these games is is that we're hoping for
4:44
Speaker 2: rain and not lightning. You know, we play in the rain.
4:47
Speaker 2: Lightning it's a different story. Yeah, hopefully we're to the
4:49
Speaker 2: point in the year that it's there will be no lightning.
4:52
Speaker 2: But two weeks ago that wasn't the case. In the
4:54
Speaker 2: case at all. What you get on the West Virginia
4:56
Speaker 2: Outdoors tomorrow, well, it is the last Saturday before buck season,
4:59
Speaker 2: and always bring in the Natural Resources Police and we
5:02
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about game laws and what they
5:05
Speaker 2: will be doing during the buck season when things open
5:08
Speaker 2: up on Monday, So we'll talk about that, and also
5:10
Speaker 2: an update on the state of Ohio has now officially
5:13
Speaker 2: lowered the buck limit in those three counties along the
5:17
Speaker 2: Ohio River that were hit hard by EHD earlier in
5:21
Speaker 2: the year, and they've lowered that bag limit from three
5:24
Speaker 2: to one. And we'll talk to an Ohio conservation officer
5:27
Speaker 2: about the decision there and what that means for those
5:30
Speaker 2: hunters across the river in those counties of Ohio. All right, Chris,
5:35
Speaker 2: be safe and have a good time next week. We'll
5:37
Speaker 2: talk to you next I guess a week from Monday. Yeah,
5:41
Speaker 2: you'll be back with it exactly. Thanks well after tomorrow morning,
5:44
Speaker 2: Chris Lawrence. Thanks a lot, man, friendship. We do want
5:46

6:11
Speaker 2: Bragg is here and you are you got tomorrow afternoon?
6:14
Speaker 6: Right?
6:15
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Matt and I making the trip. Four o'clock
6:17
Speaker 2: tomorrow is kickoff between Herbert Hoover and Princeton down at
6:20
Speaker 2: Honeycutt Stadium in Princeton. Interesting game Princeton's lost since the
6:25
Speaker 2: start of the twenty twenty four seasons. So last year.
6:27
Speaker 2: Princeton's lost one game to Herbert Hoover last year in
6:30
Speaker 2: the Class Trip A semi finals at the same venue
6:32
Speaker 2: down in Princeton. A little bit different look from Herbert
6:35
Speaker 2: Hoover this year, but that's for the most part, the
6:38
Speaker 2: same Princeton team that they went on that run last year.
6:40
Speaker 2: They're really really good. They got a player named Brad Mosser.
6:43
Speaker 2: He's listed as a wide receiver. He does a little
6:45
Speaker 2: bit of everything. He's scored seventeen rushing touchdowns, He's caught
6:49
Speaker 2: I think eight or nine receiving touchdowns. He's thrown a
6:52
Speaker 2: few passes. One of those guys is going to be
6:54
Speaker 2: in the conversation for the Kennedy Award as the State
6:56
Speaker 2: Player of the year. He's the big gun for this
6:57
Speaker 2: Princeton team. But they've got guys all that you got
7:00
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. Herbert Hoover's coming in playing
7:02
Speaker 2: some good ball. But the two games they've lost this season,
7:05
Speaker 2: dave have been games where they lost the match up
7:07
Speaker 2: up front in the trenches. So I think that's if
7:10
Speaker 2: you're looking for a place to split hairs, a place
7:12
Speaker 2: where this game could hinge on. Look up, look up front,
7:15
Speaker 2: because if Hoover's getting beat up front, it could be
7:16
Speaker 2: a long day for the Huskies. Now if they can
7:18
Speaker 2: hold their own up there, look out. Coming into this
7:20
Speaker 2: game last year, it was a similar conversation, Well can
7:23
Speaker 2: Hoover handle the pressure from Princeton. They did. They ran
7:25
Speaker 2: for almost three hundred yards last year. Interesting matchup, Like
7:28
Speaker 2: I said, a little bit different Herbert Hoover team Princeton
7:31
Speaker 2: wants a little bit of revenge. But man, this time
7:33
Speaker 2: of year, these games are fun. There's a little bit
7:35
Speaker 2: of history behind it. I'm looking forward to.
7:36
Speaker 1: You know.
7:36
Speaker 2: One of the things that's interesting to me about Princeton,
7:38
Speaker 2: And I'm kind of a uniform geek. Is that anytime
7:42
Speaker 2: you see a team with the Tigers in the title,
7:44
Speaker 2: generally speaking college football, even baseball, whatever, there's a little
7:46
Speaker 2: bit of orange or something there. But they go with
7:48
Speaker 2: the blue Tigers.
7:49
Speaker 7: They do.
7:49
Speaker 2: They go with the blue Tigers look. Sometimes they'll have
7:51
Speaker 2: a little accent in orange. I don't not so much
7:53
Speaker 2: on the football uniforms. You see the baseball basketball uniforms,
7:56
Speaker 2: but I like they go with the Cincinnati Bengals Tiger
7:59
Speaker 2: Tigers stripe helmet in blue and white and black. It's
8:02
Speaker 2: a cool look. It's a very cool look. Now you
8:04
Speaker 2: guys a run the air. What time tomorrow? Four o'clock
8:06
Speaker 2: tomorrow is when kickoff is? And I believe we're doing
8:08
Speaker 2: that on ninety six to one and WHS. So we'll
8:12
Speaker 2: be right at four o'clock bringing in from honeycut Staium.
8:14
Speaker 2: Should be a fun one, all right. So what's State
8:16
Speaker 2: doing this weekend? West Virginia State. State's off. They're done.
8:18
Speaker 2: They're done the regular season finish. They did not make
8:21
Speaker 2: the playoffs. It was a great season for State. Came
8:25
Speaker 2: up just a little bit short in the last couple
8:26
Speaker 2: of weeks. But I think if you told the folks
8:28
Speaker 2: down and institute, hey, you're going to go into the
8:30
Speaker 2: final two games with everything in front of you. Win
8:32
Speaker 2: those and you win the league. I think that's a
8:35
Speaker 2: pretty good year for West Virginia State. They seem to
8:37
Speaker 2: be building in the right direction. There's a lot of
8:39
Speaker 2: momentum with that program. John Pennington's got a good thing
8:42
Speaker 2: going down there. That's another program I'm excited to see
8:44
Speaker 2: grow over the next few years. Okay, now, we will
8:47
Speaker 2: not be doing a local show on next Friday and
8:50
Speaker 2: Black Friday. The network show will be here, but not
8:52
Speaker 2: the local show. So if when Hoover wins short tonight,
8:55
Speaker 2: you will get next week off. I'm just letting you know. Okay,
8:58
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. They're playing for a champion and ship.
9:00
Speaker 2: Then I'll see you into all right. Yeah, that's what
9:01
Speaker 2: we'll just plan on that. We'll see you here in
9:03
Speaker 2: two weeks. All right, it sounds good, Tom Bragg. Appreciate it, man,
9:05
Speaker 2: And don't forget after the game stick around for Fred
9:07
Speaker 2: Persinger and Dave Jack lind and the crew with high
9:10
Speaker 2: school game nights right after the game on Metro News.
9:14
Speaker 2: So Dave Island show in five eighty Live is Bronsho

Speaker 2: parked by Morgan to Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.
9:20
Speaker 2: Let us transition as we do every Friday or at
9:24
Speaker 2: this time to talk to our good friend Angie Gillenwater
9:26
Speaker 2: from the Canaw Charleston Humaine Association with this week's Adopt
9:29
Speaker 2: Me Please Pet of the Week and g good morning
9:31
Speaker 2: to welcome to the show.
9:32
Speaker 8: Good morning.
9:33
Speaker 2: What are you doing running around Pittsburgh?
9:37
Speaker 8: How was actually at a show in Pittsburgh? And I
9:40
Speaker 8: just loved Pittsburgh.
9:41
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, I didn't well, I didn't know because
9:43
Speaker 2: last night you knew, you always send me the picture
9:46
Speaker 2: of our pet, our adopt Me pleach by of the week,
9:48
Speaker 2: and it's you know, and I didn't get it after
9:50
Speaker 2: Pappall goes to bed, you know, like at nine or
9:52
Speaker 2: nine thirty last night, So I didn't get in till later.
9:54
Speaker 2: And I got it when I woke up this morning.
9:56
Speaker 2: But you said you're in Pittsburgh. I didn't know whether
9:57
Speaker 2: because I know you guys have been all over the
9:59
Speaker 2: country literally doing rescues and things that nature. I wasn't
10:02
Speaker 2: sure whether it was personal or business. So I just
10:05
Speaker 2: gave you this.
10:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, trust me. If I could, if I would have
10:08
Speaker 8: picked up a couple of dogs and took him though.
10:10
Speaker 2: Well, well you've been on the road I think plenty
10:12
Speaker 2: this year. Right, let's talk about our adopt me please.
10:14
Speaker 2: Bet of the Week has always picture posted Dave Allen
10:17
Speaker 2: Radio on Facebook and also the w c HS Network
10:20
Speaker 2: Facebook page and at Dave a seventy on X tell
10:23
Speaker 2: us about Spruce.
10:26
Speaker 8: Spruce is a very he has a very sad story.
10:29
Speaker 8: He was adopted from US as a puppy after originally
10:32
Speaker 8: being abandoned at the shelter, and his adopters had brought
10:37
Speaker 8: him back. They didn't really give a reason as to
10:39
Speaker 8: why they wanted to return him, just that you know,
10:41
Speaker 8: they did not want him anymore. So Spruce is now
10:46
Speaker 8: back available for adoption. He's just under a year old
10:51
Speaker 8: and he's pretty much essentially grown up in the shelter environment.
10:54
Speaker 8: So he does have a lot of puppy energy and
10:57
Speaker 8: a lot of puppy behaviors that will need. But our
11:01
Speaker 8: behaviorist is going to send you home with some homework
11:03
Speaker 8: to work on.
11:04
Speaker 2: Those teams homework homework.
11:06
Speaker 8: I love that he's already been neutered. He's up to
11:10
Speaker 8: date on his vaccines. He's great with other dogs. He
11:12
Speaker 8: loves to play with other high energy dogs. I'm unsure
11:16
Speaker 8: about cats, but we do know that he does get
11:19
Speaker 8: a little nervous around children. So if you have really
11:22
Speaker 8: care yeah, same so if you have kids that are
11:26
Speaker 8: under the age of ten years old, you probably want
11:28
Speaker 8: to look at some other dogs we have, just because
11:30
Speaker 8: small kids and loud noises do make him very nervous.
11:33
Speaker 2: Well, and again that's uh, you don't under You don't
11:35
Speaker 2: know exactly what he's gone through before because there's certain
11:38
Speaker 2: animals as you know, I mean one of my one
11:40
Speaker 2: of my cats couldn't care less what happens outside, thunder lightning, fireworks.
11:44
Speaker 2: He couldn't care less. As a matter of fact, I
11:46
Speaker 2: thought he was deaf for a while because nothing bothers him.
11:49
Speaker 2: But you know, the other ones we've had have you know,
11:52
Speaker 2: been a little bit more sensitive to that. So just
11:53
Speaker 2: know that he's a beautiful dog. What kind of dog
11:55
Speaker 2: is he? Any idea in there?
11:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say he's a hound mix. He has
12:00
Speaker 8: like the beagle shaped ears, beagle coloring, but he's really tall,
12:03
Speaker 8: so he's probably a larger breed hound mix.
12:06
Speaker 2: Okay, I do want to mention this. As I said
12:09
Speaker 2: earlier in talking to Tom and Chris, we're not doing
12:11
Speaker 2: a local show on Black Friday. The network show will
12:13
Speaker 2: be on, So we're going to give you next Friday off,
12:15
Speaker 2: but you are doing an event on Black Friday though,

Speaker 6: If you're my friend and you're expecting a Christmas good
20:02
Speaker 6: for me, it's going to be Dirty Birds Late the Night.
20:04
Speaker 2: Related, So last night was a media night. I was
20:07
Speaker 2: not able to attend. How did it go last night?
20:09
Speaker 2: It's kind of a sneak preview last night. It was awesome.
20:11
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
20:12
Speaker 11: I'd say that the systems were tested and you know,
20:16
Speaker 11: everything just looked absolutely amazing. The feedback was absolutely incredible,
20:21
Speaker 11: and you know the thing that it's something you can't
20:23
Speaker 11: necessarily measure, but the energy is just off the charts.
20:28
Speaker 11: I mean, it is so awesome seeing so many people
20:31
Speaker 11: so happy.
20:32
Speaker 2: Well and ballpark figure no bad pun. I didn't really
20:37
Speaker 2: intend that. How many people came through the gates last year, oh,
20:40
Speaker 2: last year, last year, last year, last.
20:42
Speaker 11: Year, we were like right around or a little over
20:44
Speaker 11: one hundred and twenty five thousand.
20:45
Speaker 2: That's amazing. And many of those are repeat customers too,
20:48
Speaker 2: you know, because they because they come back, but some
20:51
Speaker 2: of them aren't repeat customers. What I meant to say
20:53
Speaker 2: by that was there's people that like it so much
20:55
Speaker 2: that they that they go back to or three times.
20:57
Speaker 2: But then you got a lot of first timers too.
20:58
Speaker 2: Oh that's what's so cool.
20:59
Speaker 11: I mean here and some people talk about how they
21:01
Speaker 11: come with their kids, then they come one time with
21:04
Speaker 11: their spouse, then they come with their company, then they'll
21:06
Speaker 11: come with when they're they have relatives visiting from out
21:09
Speaker 11: of town.
21:09
Speaker 2: I mean, hearing that stuff is so cool.
21:11
Speaker 11: But then seeing that we had people come from literally
21:14
Speaker 11: every County in West Virginia. Literally we had nearly fifty
21:18
Speaker 11: states represented that. We had a big group from Japan
21:23
Speaker 11: that enjoyed the heck out of it, and especially now
21:26
Speaker 11: think about It's funny because it was about half the
21:29
Speaker 11: time talk about how amazing the lights were and everything.
21:31
Speaker 11: Half the time talk about Otani, which that has aged amazingly. Yes,
21:36
Speaker 11: they're both do a terrific still. So yeah, a lot
21:39
Speaker 11: of cool stuff.
21:40
Speaker 2: So what's new this year? Oh, it's awesome.
21:42
Speaker 11: So we've got about two or three times as many
21:46
Speaker 11: rides and activities for kids in the kind of carnival world.
21:50
Speaker 11: We've got more inflatables than we've ever had. The ice
21:53
Speaker 11: skating rink is bigger. We've got a stuffy station where
21:57
Speaker 11: you can make your own stuffed animal.
21:59
Speaker 2: We've got that because I saw something on your social
22:02
Speaker 2: media about that. Explain where that concept came from. Well,
22:05
Speaker 2: so what we.
22:06
Speaker 11: Really wanted was just more things that are interactive and
22:09
Speaker 11: more things were just more experiences. So having that and
22:12
Speaker 11: we've got it for nineteen ninety nine, trying to make
22:14
Speaker 11: it as accessible as possible for people. You know, it's
22:18
Speaker 11: just one more cool, fun memory that people can have
22:21
Speaker 11: when they're at the ballparking at late the night. The
22:25
Speaker 11: one that I'm ridiculously cool. This is kind of almost
22:27
Speaker 11: from my daughter, but uh, we've got a new cotton
22:30
Speaker 11: candy machine.
22:31
Speaker 2: That is it's ridiculous.
22:33
Speaker 11: I mean, it's funny to get geeked out about a
22:35
Speaker 11: cotton candy machine, but it like what you like. It'th
22:38
Speaker 11: it's just so neat. And that's what we just again,
22:40
Speaker 11: you know, I can't say enough. We just wanted to
22:42
Speaker 11: keep adding more experiences for people.
22:44
Speaker 2: And we do want to remind people that it's best
22:46
Speaker 2: to get your tickets in advance, right, I mean, it's
22:49
Speaker 2: that's the that's the best way to do it for
22:51
Speaker 2: everybody involved.
22:52
Speaker 11: Absolutely, yeah, I mean it's uh it it definitely saves
22:55
Speaker 11: you some time. It cuts down on some time just
22:58
Speaker 11: waiting for the lines because until we get a bigger
23:01
Speaker 11: box office built, you know, it's it's a great thing
23:05
Speaker 11: to see. Actually, but haven't been able to get your
23:08
Speaker 11: tickets online? I recommend dirty birds Baseball dot com. All
23:11
Speaker 11: of the information is right there and makes it nice
23:14
Speaker 11: and efficient for you.
23:16
Speaker 2: So what seems to be the more popular events, give
23:20
Speaker 2: me two or three every year that people say, oh
23:22
Speaker 2: and again you change it every year. That's one of
23:24
Speaker 2: the things. I love it, but it's not the same
23:25
Speaker 2: old thing every year. But maybe going back to last year,
23:28
Speaker 2: what was the one that you think you got the
23:29
Speaker 2: most buzz on last year? One or two? Well, so,
23:32
Speaker 2: I mean ice skating rink for sure. Yeah, I mean
23:35
Speaker 2: that's one of those things. It is. It like to
23:37
Speaker 2: answer every question. It is real ice.
23:39
Speaker 11: I'll be honest, I didn't even know there was like
23:41
Speaker 11: a fake ice that much, but and now all I
23:43
Speaker 11: hear about that world is just how not fun it is.
23:46
Speaker 11: So the fact that we have real ice twenty four
23:49
Speaker 11: to seven for the next month and.
23:50
Speaker 2: A half, how does that work? Guys?
23:52
Speaker 11: We've got a giant chiller out and above the right
23:56
Speaker 11: center field wall that is keeping that baby frozen on stop,
24:01
Speaker 11: so it's and then we've got this zamboni. We've got
24:03
Speaker 11: an awesome crew and people that are always maintaining it
24:05
Speaker 11: and working it. And we've got a bunch of ice
24:09
Speaker 11: skating helper systems where people that my seven year old
24:13
Speaker 11: son was using it last night. He's never skated before,
24:15
Speaker 11: but he was able to be out on the rink
24:17
Speaker 11: with this helper taking him around. So you do not
24:20
Speaker 11: need to be training for the Olympics to be able
24:22
Speaker 11: to enjoy it. And then the other one too is
24:24
Speaker 11: still it's the best one. And this was this was
24:28
Speaker 11: Ben was so adam about this since before day one
24:30
Speaker 11: was the Ferris Wheel, and he was so right because
24:34
Speaker 11: it is just such a visual And then it is
24:37
Speaker 11: so cool seeing people's photos that they post from up
24:42
Speaker 11: the up on top because it's always a different time
24:44
Speaker 11: of day, different lights are on in the city, this
24:46
Speaker 11: different angle and so forth and so on.
24:48
Speaker 2: It is it's just awesome. What's the deal with the
24:51
Speaker 2: Ferris Wheel. Is this is something you just liked as
24:53
Speaker 2: a kid or what?
24:53
Speaker 12: Ben?
24:54
Speaker 5: No, I just want I wanted people to be able
24:55
Speaker 5: to see it from the interstate. Yeah, I want to.
24:57
Speaker 2: That's the way to do it.
24:58
Speaker 5: As they're coming in. I mean you can see it
25:00
Speaker 5: a quarter mile to a half a mile out the
25:02
Speaker 5: Ferris Whale, and then of course as you get closer
25:04
Speaker 5: there's like the glow you know that you can see
25:07
Speaker 5: for many, many miles, probably all the way to the moon.
25:10
Speaker 5: But it is if you haven't seen two and a
25:13
Speaker 5: half million lights in person, you and have to come
25:16
Speaker 5: check this out. It is incredible and they are always
25:19
Speaker 5: adding new features, new things. Last night was the first
25:23
Speaker 5: time I'd seen it in the dark. I've been over
25:24
Speaker 5: several times during the day as they were setting up,
25:26
Speaker 5: but every time I go there, I'm just just completely
25:31
Speaker 5: in awe.
25:31
Speaker 2: And I saw several post guys some people on social
25:35
Speaker 2: media last night that had attended, you know, the thing
25:37
Speaker 2: last night to kind of the sneak sneak preview, and
25:40
Speaker 2: it looked awesome. I mean, it really really did.
25:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had a business after hours event there, and
25:45
Speaker 5: then we had the media night, and then we had
25:48
Speaker 5: just a couple extra tickets to go out to friends
25:50
Speaker 5: and family just to kind of test the systems, make
25:52
Speaker 5: sure everything's working, make sure we didn't pop a bulb.
25:55
Speaker 5: Then the whole thing go down last night, so they
25:58
Speaker 5: had it all set up. I know that Andy and
25:59
Speaker 5: this team been working very hard on it, and I
26:01
Speaker 5: think they were out till one point thirty or two
26:03
Speaker 5: in the morning getting it ready.
26:04
Speaker 2: I mean, when you see the finished product, you think, wow,
26:09
Speaker 2: this is awesome. But when you get actually in there
26:11
Speaker 2: and and see how what it takes to pull this
26:14
Speaker 2: thing off, it's truly amazing.
26:16
Speaker 5: My favorite part I like watching people come in because
26:20
Speaker 5: they're just they're just in awe of it. And then
26:24
Speaker 5: I like watching parents trying to get their kids to leave.
26:26
Speaker 2: It's hilarious to me as somebody who's got older kids.
26:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't have to do that now, So
26:32
Speaker 5: I just kind of stand there and watch them trying
26:33
Speaker 5: to drag the kids out. You know, it's close to
26:35
Speaker 5: the closing time and they don't want to leave. But
26:38
Speaker 5: it's it's one of those things that first of all,
26:41
Speaker 5: get your tickets in advance. You want to spend your
26:43
Speaker 5: time in the park, not standing in line. And I
26:46
Speaker 5: try try to get there early, and there's there's.
26:49
Speaker 2: Lots to do. What time does it open? Every day?
26:52
Speaker 11: Opens up every day every day at five five. Sunday
26:55
Speaker 11: through Thursday it's oh, we're open until nine pm, and
27:00
Speaker 11: on Saturday it's ten pm. And then we're open from
27:03
Speaker 11: today through January first, every day except for.
27:06
Speaker 2: Christmas, except for Christmas AD, so you'll be there Christmas Eve. Yeah,
27:09
Speaker 2: And people think that's kind of odd that. I think
27:11
Speaker 2: in my in my hometown, we had a Christmas in
27:13
Speaker 2: the park. They still do a kount of event, and
27:16
Speaker 2: people say, well, who wants to go down there on
27:18
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve was the busiest night for actually, no,
27:22
Speaker 2: I take that back down there. For theirs, the first
27:24
Speaker 2: night it was open, okay, was after that. The second
27:27
Speaker 2: busiest night was Christmas Eve. Because every family's got their
27:30
Speaker 2: own traditions.
27:31
Speaker 5: Well, and you've got family in from out of town.
27:33
Speaker 5: So if you've got to go coming in from out
27:35
Speaker 5: of town, make sure you go over, you know around
27:37
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving or after Thanksgiving or Christmas time, make sure you
27:40
Speaker 5: take them and show them the lights. I think they're
27:42
Speaker 5: going to be, Uh, they're going to be very pleased.
27:44
Speaker 2: What kind of things are you anticipating for, like groups
27:47
Speaker 2: when they come in? I mean, because I know you
27:49
Speaker 2: have groups that come in, whether it's church groups or
27:51
Speaker 2: it's you know, people coming in from out of town.
27:52
Speaker 2: There's there's a there's a I learned this. There is
27:55
Speaker 2: a culture of people kind of like with amusement parks
27:58
Speaker 2: who just like to go ride roller coasters. There's some
28:00
Speaker 2: of these just that just live to go look at
28:02
Speaker 2: Christmas lights. And you've seen a lot of those Ben
28:05
Speaker 2: you and I talked to him. We love those people. Yes,
28:07
Speaker 2: that's what they love.
28:08
Speaker 5: That's our crew.
28:09
Speaker 2: What kind of things do you have going on if
28:11
Speaker 2: somebody wants to have a a group out and maybe
28:14
Speaker 2: they want to get to go we want to bring
28:15
Speaker 2: all our employees over for a Christmas party or something

Speaker 2: of people down there when we flipped the switch. Good stuff, man.
36:26
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's always hectic. I mean, people don't understand what
36:30
Speaker 12: goes into this. We were talking off air, like we started.
36:32
Speaker 12: I started in September looking at music and we call
36:36
Speaker 12: it imaging the voice guy.
36:38
Speaker 2: All of that.
36:39
Speaker 12: I started in September to be ready for November twenty
36:41
Speaker 12: first this year. So it's it's a couple of months
36:44
Speaker 12: in the making, all right.
36:45
Speaker 2: So The biggest question that you're probably getting and on
36:48
Speaker 2: social media, and I'm going to give you a chance
36:49
Speaker 2: to address it now, is why so early? Why so early?
36:52
Speaker 12: So I said this to somebody this week because that's
36:56
Speaker 12: the question everybody else that so Thanksgiving us thirst day
37:01
Speaker 12: and everybody's off this week. When I say everybody this
37:05
Speaker 12: coming week, schools, schools are not ready. No, yeah, we're here,
37:09
Speaker 12: we're here, but this is the weekend people start shopping,
37:11
Speaker 12: They're going to the store, they maybe they're decorating for
37:14
Speaker 12: family coming in. This is kind of the unofficial when
37:17
Speaker 12: everybody starts to get ready for Christmas.
37:19
Speaker 2: Well, and that's when we did our turkey drop yesterday.
37:23
Speaker 2: There's actual research that shows because when Rob Real talked
37:25
Speaker 2: about that, So why do you do it on the Thursday,
37:27
Speaker 2: a week away from Thanksgiving?
37:28
Speaker 6: Yep.
37:29
Speaker 2: One was because with Union Mission they prepare all the
37:31
Speaker 2: boxes on Saturday. But number two, it is proven that
37:33
Speaker 2: that is the that's the best time. This when even
37:36
Speaker 2: people that aren't contributing to like we were yesterday with
37:38
Speaker 2: Union Mission, that's when. And trust me, I live in
37:41
Speaker 2: Tay's Valley, all right. I got off the exit yesterday
37:43
Speaker 2: thirty minutes. It took me. Uh and it was mainly
37:46
Speaker 2: people pulling into Kroger yesterday.
37:48
Speaker 12: So yeah, well and I mean two Thanksgiving is later
37:52
Speaker 12: this year. Well I think it was last year too,
37:54
Speaker 12: So really we're we're going to be playing Christmas for
37:57
Speaker 12: a month and four days.
37:59
Speaker 2: So it's a lot of Christmas. It is a lot
38:01
Speaker 2: of Christmas. So how do you choose what Christmas music?
38:04
Speaker 12: Lots and lots of research, We look at national data.
38:08
Speaker 12: Fun fact. Mariah Carey, you know how we thought she
38:10
Speaker 12: was the Queen of Christmas. I mean she's still kind
38:12
Speaker 12: of is. That's what we kicked the hour off with
38:15
Speaker 12: this morning, But she actually is lower on the charts
38:19
Speaker 12: this year. She's not in the top ten. She's like
38:21
Speaker 12: number forty forty five. So it's interesting, is she on
38:23
Speaker 12: a five year cycle? I remember, because I'm old. I
38:27
Speaker 12: remember when that song came out. It was released in Christmas.
38:31
Speaker 2: It was either the Christmas of ninety three about to
38:34
Speaker 2: become ninety four, Okay. I remember playing that song when
38:37
Speaker 2: it was new, and there was something about that song
38:40
Speaker 2: when it came in and I'm not saying I'm you know,
38:42
Speaker 2: I was a predictor of what was going to happen.
38:44
Speaker 2: It was going to be big two hundred years from now.
38:46
Speaker 2: But I remember playing that song when it came in
38:49
Speaker 2: and I thought, there's something about this song, and I
38:54
Speaker 2: didn't know that two hundred years later we're so going
38:56
Speaker 2: to be playing it. But it's people, it's a classic.
39:01
Speaker 2: It's a semple. Yeah, it's become right up there with
39:04
Speaker 2: the White Christmas. And I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
39:07
Speaker 2: and so on and sover. All Right, so you said
39:09
Speaker 2: she's kind of been dethrone. What are some of the
39:11
Speaker 2: top research based Christmas songs? I was hoping you wouldn't
39:14
Speaker 2: ask me that to.
39:15
Speaker 12: Give me all of them, and just a couple that
39:17
Speaker 12: ron At Slayer Eyed White Christmas is up there always
39:20
Speaker 12: and Wham Last Christmas. So those have kind of been
39:25
Speaker 12: in the top for years.
39:26
Speaker 2: Are people, because you know, I'm so wofully out of
39:29
Speaker 2: touch and old, I don't listen to a whole lot
39:31
Speaker 2: of new music, But are people still releasing Christmas songs?
39:34
Speaker 2: I mean, like the top artists of the day, because
39:36
Speaker 2: that was always a thing. I mean, I remember when
39:39
Speaker 2: a very special Christmas album came out in nineteen eighty seven,
39:41
Speaker 2: and it was a fundraiser, I think for special Olympics
39:43
Speaker 2: and you had. They included Bob Seger, Little Drummer Boy,
39:47
Speaker 2: Run DMC, My Favorite Christmas and Hollis and all those.
39:51
Speaker 2: But are artists still new artists? Are they still releasing Christmas?
39:54
Speaker 12: Yes, Jimmy Fallon, who's not an artist, he has a
39:57
Speaker 12: Christmas lots of Christmas songs. Jonas there's just dropped a
40:02
Speaker 12: Christmas album, Christmas Special, and Megan Trainer has some songs
40:06
Speaker 12: a less Yakara. So yeah, they're putting out new Christmas
40:09
Speaker 12: songs and when I say new Christmas songs, renditions of classics.
40:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and new stuff too well, because by and large
40:16
Speaker 2: there's like ten Christmas absolutely yeah, and it's fun to
40:19
Speaker 2: different period, right. Yeah. I know you're going to find
40:22
Speaker 2: this very hard to believe listeners and logan. I tend
40:24
Speaker 2: to like them more off the wall stuff, Okay, find
40:27
Speaker 2: you know, you know, Merry Christmas from the Family, Okay,
40:30
Speaker 2: because I can relate. What about Bob Rivers, the Twelve
40:32

Speaker 2: we'll look into it. Well, Barry Manilow, because it's Christmas.
41:09

41:13
Speaker 2: written by Willie Nelson. Okay, f y the newer song
41:17
Speaker 2: says the text from the last couple of years. Not popular.
41:19
Speaker 2: They seem to play several times a day. And that's
41:21
Speaker 2: a retlative that you got research that would say otherwise.
41:24
Speaker 12: Right, I've got the receipts as the kids say.
41:27
Speaker 2: Is that what the kids say? Thinks six SIPs? I don't, yeah,
41:30
Speaker 2: don't get a started on that, but you know, and
41:32
Speaker 2: I just think it's when when you started on the
41:35
Speaker 2: social media for V one hundred announcing you were going
41:38
Speaker 2: to do this. It's mixed. It's mixed, and that's what
41:41
Speaker 2: you's okay, and that's what you get because not everybody
41:43
Speaker 2: and and think about your own Christmas traditions in your family, right,
41:47
Speaker 2: not everybody does things the same way, and that's okay,
41:50
Speaker 2: and we'll still be here and still be here, all right.
