Speaker 5: lot of things I want to get today. It's one
1:43
Speaker 5: of the most popular podcasts around. We're a little bit
1:47
Speaker 5: biased because we produced the podcast, but it's called Let's
1:49

Speaker 5: to know her a little bit better, and also talk
2:02
Speaker 5: about well, you know, some of the things that are
2:04
Speaker 5: going on the news with her that's coming up a
2:05
Speaker 5: little bit later. On Canawa County schools last night began
2:11
Speaker 5: discussions on how to implement this cell phone band that
2:15
Speaker 5: the legislature has has put into place, and every county
2:20
Speaker 5: has to come up with their own plan of how
2:22
Speaker 5: they plan to do it. Fayette County was one I
2:24
Speaker 5: think that released some information. Mond County also did well.
2:27
Speaker 5: Conawa County starting the discussions right now. We had a story,
2:30
Speaker 5: as a matter of fact, posted about it. Darren Parker
2:31
Speaker 5: did an end depth story about it over wv metronews
2:34
Speaker 5: dot com. We'll get into that story a little bit later.
2:36
Speaker 5: On Pluster was a shooting in downtown Charleston last night.
2:39

2:51
Speaker 5: Before we get all into all that, I want to
2:53
Speaker 5: welcome back to the show Republican delegate from the fifty fifth,
2:56
Speaker 5: Andy Shamblin, who's with us. Good morning, Sarah, Welcome to
2:58
Speaker 5: the show. Good morning day. Hell you doing doing fine?
3:01
Speaker 5: Thank you for being here. So before we get into
3:03
Speaker 5: while you're here all right, I got to ask you.
3:06
Speaker 5: You're an educator. That's what you do. That's your real job. Okay,
3:11
Speaker 5: shaping and molding young minds as you do. How big
3:15
Speaker 5: of an issue our cell phones in school?
3:18
Speaker 6: I've actually seen the full spectrum of technology in schools.
3:23
Speaker 6: When I first started teaching in twoenty and fourteen, ten
3:27
Speaker 6: years ago now, believe it or not, cell phones were
3:30
Speaker 6: still banned and we did not have iPads in school
3:35
Speaker 6: in Kannall County. And then the next year we started
3:39
Speaker 6: with the one to one integration of iPads in school,
3:43
Speaker 6: and then the cell phone policy changed to become much
3:46
Speaker 6: more lenient. To me, cell phones are a major distraction
3:52
Speaker 6: in the classroom. I think it will be very challenging
3:57
Speaker 6: though to peel that back. I think that the law
4:03
Speaker 6: that was passed was sort of a messaging law because
4:07
Speaker 6: counties already had the ability of banning cell phones if
4:12
Speaker 6: they chose to before this law was even implemented. So
4:18
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be very interesting to see
4:20
Speaker 6: how it is implemented, because the devil is obviously in.
4:23
Speaker 5: The details always.
4:25
Speaker 6: And just speaking for myself, I think that consistency is
4:31
Speaker 6: going to be key. I do think that academics suffer
4:38
Speaker 6: because of cell phones, because all of us, including adults,
4:43
Speaker 6: are so easily distracted by our phones. I mean, I
4:46
Speaker 6: find myself checking my phone way too often.
4:51
Speaker 5: I mean, human beings were not designed to be connected
4:54
Speaker 5: twenty four to seven. That's just a fact. And it's
4:57
Speaker 5: just a bigger problem, as you said, with adults, is
5:00
Speaker 5: what it is with kids. And I think, and I
5:03
Speaker 5: promise that's not why I brought you here today, Okay,
5:05
Speaker 5: but the consistency issue is a big thing because again,
5:09
Speaker 5: you're a high school teacher, and you can you know,
5:12
Speaker 5: in your school, and you know when you were in school,
5:14
Speaker 5: and I know when I was in school, every teacher
5:17
Speaker 5: was They went about discipline differently, you know, and you
5:21
Speaker 5: knew what you could get by with and miss so
5:23
Speaker 5: and so's class that you couldn't get by with and
5:25
Speaker 5: mister so and So's class, or vice versa. And you know,
5:29
Speaker 5: this teacher didn't care. I know, you know, if you
5:31
Speaker 5: go back and you look at the problems that teachers
5:33
Speaker 5: had in the nineteen fifties and sixties compared today, it's
5:35
Speaker 5: I mean, talking and chewing gum were the biggest problems
5:38
Speaker 5: they had. And now you guys face a whole lot
5:40
Speaker 5: more than that. But I think the implementation of this,
5:43
Speaker 5: as you said at Devil's in the details and how
5:45
Speaker 5: they're going to do this is really interesting. And I've
5:52
Speaker 5: said this on the show before, and oh did I
5:54
Speaker 5: make some people mad, But I've done that before. Mommy
5:57
Speaker 5: and Daddy are going to have a bigger problem with
5:59
Speaker 5: it than the kids. Will. I agree one with that
6:02
Speaker 5: stage somebody does because I got ripped all a hecknback
6:04
Speaker 5: for saying that mommy and Daddy will have a much
6:07
Speaker 5: bigger issue with little whatever not having access they can't
6:12
Speaker 5: have access to them. Talk to that because I'm glad
6:16
Speaker 5: because you're a teacher, I.
6:17
Speaker 6: Can speak to that very very much from firsthand experience.
6:21
Speaker 6: I know there are parents who will text their kids
6:25
Speaker 6: during class, they have to check in with them after class.
6:31
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's it's sort of like helicopter parents
6:34
Speaker 6: on steroids in a sense. And another component of this,
6:38
Speaker 6: too is so many school aged children are losing their
6:45
Speaker 6: ability to communicate face to face. And I know just
6:52
Speaker 6: you know, for example, if I have a student who
6:56
Speaker 6: needs to have a conversation with me about missing assignments,
7:01
Speaker 6: a lot of students would rather send me a message
7:03
Speaker 6: on school age type it out, then they would actually
7:07
Speaker 6: come and have a conversation face to face. And always
7:10
Speaker 6: tell my students like, you're in class every day. You
7:13
Speaker 6: come and you see me.
7:14
Speaker 5: After class or before class or at.
7:16
Speaker 6: A convenient moments, have a conversation like I'm a human
7:20
Speaker 6: being and you need to learn how to communicate with
7:22
Speaker 6: human beings. And it's you know, I think technology in
7:27
Speaker 6: school is truly a double edged sword because it allows
7:32
Speaker 6: us and it enables us to do so many awesome things.
7:36
Speaker 6: I mean, you can research, you can create presentations, but
7:41
Speaker 6: it also has that other.
7:43
Speaker 5: Aspect of it. Well.
7:44
Speaker 6: I mean I have literally had students say to me
7:47
Speaker 6: believe it or not. Like if you give a for example,
7:50
Speaker 6: reading with questions, so you're doing a reading on the
7:53
Speaker 6: Declaration of Independence, a lot of students aren't reading it.
7:57
Speaker 6: What they do is google the questions and they'll say, shambling,
8:02
Speaker 6: there's no answer to this question.
8:04
Speaker 5: Google has no.
8:05
Speaker 3: Answer, so therefore there must be no answer.
8:07
Speaker 5: To this question. And that's where AI comes in. And
8:09
Speaker 5: that's another subject for another time. All right, let's I
8:12
Speaker 5: didn't mean to put you on the spot theear, but
8:15
Speaker 5: let's talk about the trafficking cross lanes. Every time that
8:18
Speaker 5: I say maybe an even more difficult problem. Every time
8:21
Speaker 5: I say cross lanes traffic, I think that the Jimi
8:24
Speaker 5: Hendrix saw on crosstown traffic. So you're here just a
8:27
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, and you you updated this on
8:30
Speaker 5: some stuff. Now you get some more info than you
8:32
Speaker 5: need to talk about what's what's going on there.
8:33
Speaker 6: I've been dinging into this road project issue now for
8:39
Speaker 6: several weeks and and it is something that I've worked
8:44
Speaker 6: on ever since I was elected to try to manage
8:46
Speaker 6: it and try to make sure that it stays on track.
8:49
Speaker 6: And basically what I did last week is I sent
8:54
Speaker 6: a formal request to the Governor's office, to d H
8:58
Speaker 6: and to the Public Service Commission UH to try to
9:02
Speaker 6: determine exactly what the hold up is with the construction.
9:08
Speaker 6: Those who live in Cross Lanes, of course, are aware
9:11
Speaker 6: that the project has been put on Paul's since last October,
9:16
Speaker 6: and I have I have continually been told since then, well,
9:22
Speaker 6: we're waiting on utility companies to relocate their infrastructure. And
9:30
Speaker 6: the impact of this project being on hold has been
9:36
Speaker 6: catastrophic to the Cross Lanes community because if you drive
9:40
Speaker 6: through Cross Lanes today, you'll see that basically it looks
9:46
Speaker 6: like a massive unfinished construction zone. You've got cones everywhere.
9:51
Speaker 5: You've got because that's what it is.
9:52
Speaker 6: That's what it is, and it's and it's and it's
9:54
Speaker 6: been frozen in time since October of last year.
9:58
Speaker 5: Ye actually let me jump in here because I actually
10:00
Speaker 5: had a text when somebody knew that you were going
10:03
Speaker 5: to be on the show today said Grandma lives in
10:06
Speaker 5: Cross Lanes and I'm out there a few days a week.
10:09
Speaker 5: Be sure to ask why there hasn't been any work
10:10
Speaker 5: done in twenty twenty five. They packed up at the
10:12
Speaker 5: end of twenty twenty four, haven't been back. They took
10:15
Speaker 5: us from three lanes to two and then left. That accurate.
10:18
Speaker 6: That is accurate, and the contractor demobilized in October due
10:25
Speaker 6: to utility right away issues and they are they cannot
10:31
Speaker 6: do any more work until those utilities are relocated. And
10:35
Speaker 6: it's my understanding that most, if not all, of those
10:39
Speaker 6: utilities have now relocated their infrastructure.
10:43
Speaker 7: Now.
10:44
Speaker 6: There's also been some.
10:47
Speaker 5: Discussion about polls.
10:49
Speaker 6: And if you drive through Cross Lanes, you can see
10:52
Speaker 6: that various different utility polls have been marked I'm assuming
10:57
Speaker 6: for removal, so I think there's still some that remains
11:00
Speaker 6: yet to be done. And what I've asked the Governor's
11:04
Speaker 6: office to do, and they've been extremely receptive once I
11:07
Speaker 6: made them aware of this issue, they jumped on it
11:11
Speaker 6: with both feet yesterday. And what I've asked them to
11:14
Speaker 6: do is coordinate a stakeholder meeting where we could get DOH,
11:20
Speaker 6: the utility companies, contractor PSC everyone together in the same
11:26
Speaker 6: room to see if we can figure out why this
11:29
Speaker 6: is taking so long. It's almost becoming reminiscent of what
11:34
Speaker 6: happened in Canall City with just continual, continual interruptions to
11:40
Speaker 6: the project. And I'm just I'm hopeful now that with
11:45
Speaker 6: the Governor's office being involved in it, DOH working on it,
11:50
Speaker 6: PSC working on it, that will be able to get
11:53
Speaker 6: some type of solution, and not only a solution, but
11:56
Speaker 6: a timeline for when this project is going to restart
12:00
Speaker 6: and when it's going to be completed, because obviously it's
12:03
Speaker 6: not going to be completed in the original time frame.
12:06
Speaker 5: Talk about how much your phone's ringing about this from
12:09
Speaker 5: your constituents. My phone never stops ringing, Dave. You mentioned, well,
12:13
Speaker 5: maybe maybe they banned them in schools, they still get
12:17
Speaker 5: a break between seven thirty and three. Right, that's a
12:19
Speaker 5: fair point.
12:20
Speaker 6: Sometimes I feel like I'm a full time delegate a
12:23
Speaker 6: part time teacher, right yeah.
12:25
Speaker 5: Because but that's good that your receptive to you to
12:28
Speaker 5: your delegation. And I'm hats off to any legislator that
12:31
Speaker 5: does that.
12:32
Speaker 6: And yesterday when I was doing an interview with WSAZ
12:36
Speaker 6: by the four way stopping cross lanes, there are actually
12:38
Speaker 6: two people that drove by and I guess recognized me
12:42
Speaker 6: and they screamed out.
12:43
Speaker 3: Fix the road, get the road fixed.
12:47
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it sounds like you know, and again
12:50
Speaker 5: I'm not an expert on this binny stretch of the imagination,
12:53
Speaker 5: but it just I mean, I start this show with
12:55
Speaker 5: the line from a Cool Hand Loop, my dad's all
12:57
Speaker 5: time favorite movie. It's what we have here is a
12:59
Speaker 5: failure to communicate exactly. And that seems to because you
13:02
Speaker 5: just want answers. I mean, you can't just start a
13:04
Speaker 5: project and leave. I mean, somebody's got to be responsible.
13:07
Speaker 5: I mean, cross Lane's traffic on a good day five
13:09
Speaker 5: years ago was well, they called it cross Vegas for
13:13
Speaker 5: a reason. You know, it was pretty bad. Five years ago,
13:16
Speaker 5: and now we've added this on to it. Like the
13:18
Speaker 5: Texter said about you know, guys just trying to visit
13:20
Speaker 5: grandma or the person just trying to visit grandma.
13:23
Speaker 6: And you know, Cross Lanes is in a unique position
13:26
Speaker 6: anyway because it's such a large unincorporated area, right, Yeah,
13:29
Speaker 6: so it really does fall upon the state to make
13:35
Speaker 6: sure that everything stays on track and that this project
13:39
Speaker 6: is being managed appropriately.
13:41
Speaker 5: Talking with delleg and Andy Shamlin the Day Island Show
13:44
Speaker 5: on five Eddie LiLine Bright to imparted by Bridge Valley
13:46
Speaker 5: offering custom tailored trainings to supply a skilled graduates and
13:49
Speaker 5: apprenticeship for your company. Visit Bridge Valley dot edu. All right,
13:52
Speaker 5: final thirty seconds. So what do people that live there
13:55
Speaker 5: that have concerns? What can they do? I mean they're
13:58
Speaker 5: obviously reaching out to you. Is there anything else that
14:00
Speaker 5: that they can do to and you don't want to
14:02
Speaker 5: pile upon you know, the different entities, But but but
14:05
Speaker 5: what what what's the what's the best course of action
14:07
Speaker 5: for people that live at work it and travel it. Well,
14:10
Speaker 5: I think there's a couple of things.
14:11
Speaker 6: First of all, I think they need to they need
14:14
Speaker 6: to realize that the project is moving forward. The funding
14:17
Speaker 6: hasn't been pulled. That's one of the most persistent rumors
14:20
Speaker 6: that I hear continually. Well, the money's been pulled, The
14:23
Speaker 6: money has not been pulled. The project is going to
14:26
Speaker 6: move forward. You know, be be consistent in the information
14:30
Speaker 6: that has spread. Thirdly, or secondly, reach out to the
14:35
Speaker 6: Governor's office, reach out to d H, reach out to
14:39
Speaker 6: all these entities and and let them know that this
14:42
Speaker 6: is an issue that that we need to get resolved.
14:45
Speaker 5: All right, Delgate, Andy Sham, and I appreciate you being
14:48
Speaker 5: here as always, my friend, thanks a lot. Well, when
14:51
Speaker 5: does school start when you have to go back to here?
14:52
Speaker 5: The week of August? Second week of August? Are you
14:55
Speaker 5: a fan of school starting as early as it does? Again,
14:57
Speaker 5: when I was in school, it was always the day
14:59
Speaker 5: after Labor Day? And do you have a preference just
15:02
Speaker 5: I would rather be later.
15:04
Speaker 6: Personally, I like the idea of a more traditional calendar.
15:07
Speaker 8: Yeah.
15:09
Speaker 6: The challenge with that is when when school started after
15:12
Speaker 6: Labor Day, you didn't go to school as long, so
15:17
Speaker 6: you had like one hundred and seventy or one hundred
15:18
Speaker 6: and seventy five instructional days. Now there's one hundred and
15:21
Speaker 6: eighty requirement, So in order to make it fit within
15:25
Speaker 6: that calendar, you almost have to decrease the number of
15:28
Speaker 6: instructional days.
15:29
Speaker 5: Well that's another I got to have you back again
15:30
Speaker 5: because I want to get into AI in the classrooms
15:33
Speaker 5: and I want another update on this, so and then
15:35
Speaker 5: we'll talk about school calendars as well. Thanks lot delicate.

Speaker 5: If you're a podcast person, you know one of the
19:23
Speaker 5: hottest ones produced here in the valley. Let's talk with
19:27
Speaker 5: Carl Lee. Carl of course, former South Charleston Marshall guy,
19:31
Speaker 5: longtime Minnesota Vikings and for a while the Saints.
19:34
Speaker 12: Uh.
19:34
Speaker 5: He does the show, which is available from your favorite
19:36
Speaker 5: podcast provider, and all our streaming sites were a little
19:39
Speaker 5: bit biased because we produce it. Uh but uh, it's
19:42
Speaker 5: Carl's show, no doubt. Well, okay, let me take that back.
19:45
Speaker 5: It's Carl's and Lisa Odie's show, and and and Delgate
19:48
Speaker 5: Holly Lewis delegate. Hollis Lewis is on the show frequently,
19:51
Speaker 5: but not necessarily in his delegate role, just to provide commentary.
19:54
Speaker 5: Lisa Odie is with us right now. She's one of
19:56
Speaker 5: the stars of the podcast, and she joins a Lisa.
20:00
Speaker 3: Good morning, thanks for having me so much, Welcome to
20:03
Speaker 3: the show. Thank you.
20:04
Speaker 5: So how did you get involved in this podcast?
20:07
Speaker 13: Oh, many moons ago, many moons ago, Dave, So, years ago,
20:11
Speaker 13: there used to be a live radio broadcast here on
20:14
Speaker 13: w c HS called The Drive and it was hosted
20:17
Speaker 13: by Frank Guardina.
20:18
Speaker 5: And Carl Lee was on Frank very well.
20:20
Speaker 13: Yes, And so I was asked to occasionally come and
20:24
Speaker 13: fill in on the podcast when Carl was out of
20:26
Speaker 13: town or you know, there was some kind of special
20:28
Speaker 13: topic they wanted me to join in on. So I
20:31
Speaker 13: did that for a few years, and then later on
20:35
Speaker 13: Dana Ferrell with RSN. I think you guys have heard
20:38
Speaker 13: of the Tailgate Show. It's still in production. We do
20:42
Speaker 13: that every fall for high school football, and so they
20:45
Speaker 13: asked me to join in on that show. So that's
20:47
Speaker 13: something that I do, you know, during the fall.
20:50
Speaker 3: And then in October Carl and Hollis Uh.
20:55
Speaker 13: They asked me to guest host with them, and it
20:58
Speaker 13: ended up they asked me to come in full time,
21:00
Speaker 13: so kind of just haphazard. It wasn't anything planned. It
21:04
Speaker 13: was just like, come join us, and then they said
21:07
Speaker 13: join us forever.
21:08
Speaker 5: Okay, Now, how often do you do a new show?
21:11
Speaker 3: We do a show once a week.
21:13
Speaker 13: We usually have it recorded on Monday evenings and then
21:15
Speaker 13: it is broadcast here on the station. I think it's
21:18
Speaker 13: Thursday evenings around seven and then Sunday afternoons at one.
21:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's also available on our website and and
21:24
Speaker 5: social media and your favorite podcast providers. It's talk talk
21:28
Speaker 5: about the content. How do you decide what to talk about?
21:31
Speaker 13: Well, it's kind of a group effort, Like right now,
21:33
Speaker 13: we have a text thread that we all keep in
21:35
Speaker 13: touch and we just kind of come in with ideas
21:38
Speaker 13: about you know, get possible guests.
21:40
Speaker 3: Possible topics.
21:41
Speaker 13: We like to try to get, you know, a guest
21:43
Speaker 13: that has some times to West Virginia at least, you know,
21:47
Speaker 13: somehow related to you know, sports here in the Mountain state.
21:52
Speaker 3: Not always that happens.
21:53
Speaker 13: Sometimes it's some of Carl's buddies that he knows and
21:55
Speaker 13: his you know, his past endeavors in the NFL. So
21:59
Speaker 13: it's kind of something that we all do together. And
22:02
Speaker 13: right now we're working on some guests that are related
22:04
Speaker 13: to the TBT tournament for next week, so hopefully we'll
22:08
Speaker 13: secure some some you know, prominent people from that coming up.
22:11
Speaker 5: But Dave Alan Chewing five Adieline brought to you in
22:13
Speaker 5: part by Live Healthy West Virginia presented by WVU Medicine.
22:16
Speaker 5: It's a podcast promoting healthier lifestyles in the state. Check
22:18
Speaker 5: afflatest episodes wv metronews dot com under the podcast menu. Now,
22:22
Speaker 5: you guys aren't afraid to ruffle a few feathers every now.
22:25
Speaker 3: And then, I would say that's correct.
22:28
Speaker 5: I mean, you know you can. Only here's the thing
22:31
Speaker 5: about it, because it's car Lee and because you're involved
22:36
Speaker 5: in because Hollis Lewis is a big sports guy as well,
22:39
Speaker 5: there's gonna be a lot of sports talk, but it
22:41
Speaker 5: goes well beyond that. I mean, you get into social issues,
22:44
Speaker 5: and you get into various other things, and from time
22:48
Speaker 5: to time, if you're doing your job correctly in this format,
22:51
Speaker 5: whether it's a podcast or whether it's on the radio
22:54
Speaker 5: in your case, it's actually both. Do you want to
22:57
Speaker 5: ruffle a few feathers?
22:58
Speaker 13: Yeah? Yeah, we get some shade thrown our way every
23:00
Speaker 13: once in a while, just a bit of that way.
23:01
Speaker 13: We also ruffle each other's feathers at times, which makes
23:04
Speaker 13: it kind of fun. We know that we're all you know,
23:07
Speaker 13: we all agree on the same sports topics, but we
23:11
Speaker 13: may not view them the same, which makes it that
23:13
Speaker 13: makes it kind of fun. I think some of the
23:15
Speaker 13: controversial topics we've taken on Z in a all. That's
23:18
Speaker 13: a big thing for us and our favorite licensing. Yes, yes,
23:21
Speaker 13: that's something that we look at. Youth sports is a
23:24
Speaker 13: big topic with us. You know, Carl and Hollis are
23:28
Speaker 13: both involved pretty strongly in that in that realm, and
23:31
Speaker 13: so we talk about, you know, things that families, you know,
23:34
Speaker 13: should or should not be doing. We don't want to
23:36
Speaker 13: tell people what to do with their families, of course,
23:38
Speaker 13: but some good solid advice from coaches.
23:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine, and I've the world
23:47
Speaker 5: has changed so much, and I spent a whole lot
23:49
Speaker 5: of time in talking about that, about how things have changed,
23:52
Speaker 5: not not always, not always for the worst, but but
23:55
Speaker 5: but not always for the better. And it's and I
24:00
Speaker 5: was a big Carlyle fan, you know, going back, uh,
24:02
Speaker 5: and of course he was a Marshall guy and followed
24:04
Speaker 5: his career in the NFL and stuff in his career
24:07
Speaker 5: since then. I would imagine that I would call I
24:11
Speaker 5: would refer to Carlo's old school to old for sure.
24:14
Speaker 3: I think both of us are.
24:15
Speaker 13: I think Hollis is a little newer school, and then
24:17
Speaker 13: carl and I Rockville the old school.
24:19
Speaker 5: But dealing but dealing with the modern day parent, modern
24:24
Speaker 5: day kid, I think would be a bit of a
24:27
Speaker 5: bit of a change from what it was for those
24:29
Speaker 5: of us that grew up in the nineteen seventies nineteen eighties.
24:32
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the whole just the whole availability of
24:36
Speaker 13: what they have to you know, better themselves. In sports,
24:40
Speaker 13: they've got travel ball, those are things that didn't exist
24:42
Speaker 13: back in the day. You know, there's access to social media.
24:48
Speaker 13: You know, there's total twenty four to seven coverage on
24:51
Speaker 13: TV of sports and sports you know, events and different things.
24:54
Speaker 13: So I think the whole difference between our generation and
24:59
Speaker 13: this generation access I think that's a good way to
25:01
Speaker 13: describe it. And sometimes that access, like you just said,
25:05
Speaker 13: sometimes it's a positive influence and sometimes it's not so positive.
25:08
Speaker 13: So I think parents in this day and age have
25:11
Speaker 13: to find a good balance between you know, what's good
25:14
Speaker 13: and accessible to their to their their kids, and you
25:17
Speaker 13: know what's not.
25:18
Speaker 5: Talking again with Lisa Odive Dave Alan showing five eighty
25:21
Speaker 5: live is presented by Generations Physical Therapy nine practices, all
25:24
Speaker 5: offered an extended hour. So access to physical therapy has
25:27
Speaker 5: never been easier for an appointment three zero four, seven,
25:30
Speaker 5: six zero fifty six sixty or visit Generations pt dot com.
25:34
Speaker 5: So getting away from sports for a moments, how much
25:38
Speaker 5: do you dive into the political arena?
25:42
Speaker 3: I do?
25:43
Speaker 5: Okay, I tip my toes in it. Put it that way, okay,
25:46
Speaker 5: all right, all right, So how would I describe Lisa
25:49
Speaker 5: Odie as political? Your political persuasion.
25:55
Speaker 13: While I belong to the Democratic Party, Okay, I think
25:59
Speaker 13: my views line a little not.
26:02
Speaker 3: I want to say a moderate Democrat if there's one.
26:05
Speaker 13: If that's possible, Well, there used to be. Okay, that's
26:08
Speaker 13: kind of my views.
26:09
Speaker 5: But they're also to be fair, there also used to
26:11
Speaker 5: be moderate Republicans.
26:12
Speaker 13: Well don't there you go, there's a few.
26:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I think my views lie.
26:18
Speaker 13: I mean, it's more sympathetic to democratic values and policy.
26:25
Speaker 13: You know, it's like any other party or any other
26:27
Speaker 13: thing in life. You don't agree one hundred percent with
26:29
Speaker 13: everything that is presented to you. I mean, you know,
26:32
Speaker 13: there are some things that I'm I don't know about that.
26:35
Speaker 13: I think for the most part, I belong in the
26:37
Speaker 13: party that I should be in.
26:38
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Well, and here's where I would I
26:40
Speaker 5: would say this about make no mistake about the Republican
26:45
Speaker 5: Party now is the party of Trump. It is. It
26:47
Speaker 5: is the party of Trump. And I know for a
26:50
Speaker 5: fact that there are a lot of Republicans who do
26:53
Speaker 5: not agree with Donald Trump, but they will not say anything.
26:55
Speaker 5: And that's what that's that's where I have an issue
26:57
Speaker 5: if you have that. And I would say the same
26:59
Speaker 5: thing that it were Democrats. I took a lot of
27:02
Speaker 5: I mean, it really bothered me that my Democratic friends
27:05
Speaker 5: that so few of them would speak out against Joe
27:08
Speaker 5: Biden because Joe Biden had absolutely no business being the nominee,
27:13
Speaker 5: and they all, I mean not.
27:15
Speaker 3: The debate showed that for sure, nowely.
27:17
Speaker 5: Five percent of Democrats would not Oh he's fine, No
27:20
Speaker 5: he wasn't. Do you have eyes? He was not fine.
27:23
Speaker 13: And I think that that that's a good point, Dave,
27:25
Speaker 13: because I think you can't blindly be you can't blindly
27:30
Speaker 13: be just with one party. I think you have to
27:32
Speaker 13: see all issues and then you know, just just understand
27:36
Speaker 13: that there are some things that it's okay not to
27:38
Speaker 13: agree with in your party, and you can stand up
27:41
Speaker 13: for and speak out against. I think right now, I
27:45
Speaker 13: think our world is just so it's so politically charged,
27:48
Speaker 13: and it's so divided.
27:49
Speaker 3: And it's just a scary thing.
27:51
Speaker 13: It's hard to watch the news in the morning and feel,
27:54
Speaker 13: like me like it's always something new that just kind of,
27:57
Speaker 13: you know, upsets me to start my day.
27:59
Speaker 5: But let me just say this, let me jump in here. Okay.
28:03
Speaker 5: One of the things that's changed over the years is
28:05
Speaker 5: it used to be you turned on the TV, you
28:07
Speaker 5: turned on the radio, and you got the news. Right Now,
28:11
Speaker 5: you turn on and you go to the news outlet
28:15
Speaker 5: that best fits your ideals. So if you're a conservative Republican,
28:20
Speaker 5: many of them, it's going to be it's going to
28:23
Speaker 5: be Fox News or you know, god forbid, it's going
28:26
Speaker 5: to be Newsmax. Okay. And if you're liberal, it's going
28:29
Speaker 5: to be seeing It Yeah, MSNBC or CNN, and there
28:33
Speaker 5: are others out there as well. And this is why,
28:38
Speaker 5: in my opinion, we never get anywhere, because because when
28:41
Speaker 5: we have these debates, whether it's you know, online or whatever,
28:47
Speaker 5: cite your sources. Okay, well here's my source. Well that's
28:49
Speaker 5: from Fox News. Nobody's gonna believe that, right, That's from CNN.
28:52
Speaker 5: Who believes that, you know, it's what I mean. And
28:55
Speaker 5: and so that's where we've gotten so polarized as a society.
28:59
Speaker 5: And we also so now we view people that are different,
29:02
Speaker 5: that think differently than us, we view them as the enemy.
29:06
Speaker 5: And how many times have you seen on social media
29:08
Speaker 5: if you're a you know, if you're following Trump, if
29:11
Speaker 5: you're anti Trump, you know, unfriend me. Now, I mean
29:14
Speaker 5: that that's not the answer. That's not the answer. And
29:18
Speaker 5: social media has made it so that we just dig
29:21
Speaker 5: our heels in and go down these conspiracy, you know,
29:24
Speaker 5: rabbit holes and so on and so and now. And
29:27
Speaker 5: I've often said this to my conservative friends, and I
29:30
Speaker 5: can say to my liberal friends as well. If you
29:32
Speaker 5: are a conservative, why would you want to just have
29:36
Speaker 5: the same talking points right beaten into your head? Why
29:40
Speaker 5: not try to understand the other side. Okay, you feel
29:43
Speaker 5: this way about this issue, Maybe I could better understand
29:47
Speaker 5: you if I were to maybe watch another news channel
29:52
Speaker 5: or maybe talk to some of Heaven forbid, we actually
29:54
Speaker 5: have a conversation with somebody that's different us. We just
29:59
Speaker 5: got soul least so that we can't have a conversation
30:02
Speaker 5: over all. I think this, Are they all right, let's
30:04
Speaker 5: go have a beer or let's or let's yeah, or
30:06
Speaker 5: let's you know, shake hands and move on. We just
30:09
Speaker 5: can't do that.
30:09
Speaker 13: I think I think people are afraid. I mean, honestly,
30:13
Speaker 13: I think people are afraid to speak truly about how
30:17
Speaker 13: they feel with politics. I also think people throw things
30:20
Speaker 13: irresponsibly out on social media without fact checking what and
30:23
Speaker 13: that's another problem, you know, or it's it's you know,
30:27
Speaker 13: the date's wrong and you're like, oh my gosh, this,
30:30
Speaker 13: you know, did this really happen? And then you see
30:31
Speaker 13: it happen like three years ago or whatever under another administration.
30:34
Speaker 13: Even so, I think that there is just there's so
30:37
Speaker 13: many I don't know how, Dave you you really even
30:40
Speaker 13: start to come to the table at this point. I mean,
30:43
Speaker 13: we're not even walking towards is exactly exactly, So I
30:47
Speaker 13: don't even know where you start. I think, like you said,
30:51
Speaker 13: you know, maybe go have a beer with somebody and say, hey,
30:53
Speaker 13: let let's let's let's you know, let's share views. I
30:56
Speaker 13: don't even think we're ready for that. Yeah, yeah, And
30:59
Speaker 13: I don't know when we will be. I don't see
31:00
Speaker 13: it coming.
31:01
Speaker 5: And on this and on this show I have I've
31:04
Speaker 5: done the show for five years now. You know, we
31:06
Speaker 5: talked about a lot of stuff going on the community.
31:07
Speaker 5: But I also will have we'll get into politics, and
31:11
Speaker 5: I have Mike Pushkin on one day, and I have
31:13
Speaker 5: Greg Thomas, Rob Cornelius on the next day. Right, and
31:17
Speaker 5: the number of people that will say, why would you
31:19
Speaker 5: platform that's my favorite word, why why would you platform
31:22
Speaker 5: a liberal Democrat? Why would you platform a right wing?
31:26
Speaker 3: What will they say about me? David? I don't know
31:28
Speaker 3: how to I don't know how to get me.
31:29
Speaker 5: Because there's a thing called free speech, and because you
31:32
Speaker 5: have the right to say things even that people don't
31:35
Speaker 5: agree with. I'm right there with you. I mean, I've
31:39
Speaker 5: told me I will not I will not shy away
31:41
Speaker 5: from the fact that, yes, I do lean toward Democratic views.
31:45
Speaker 13: I don't blindly agree with one hundred percent of everything
31:47
Speaker 13: they put out there, and my friends will tell you
31:49
Speaker 13: that now.
31:50
Speaker 3: But but that those are my leanings.
31:52
Speaker 13: I'm not going to get away from it and say
31:54
Speaker 13: that I'm leaning toward the Republican views. But you know,
31:56
Speaker 13: like I said, I'm kind of I just don't think
32:00
Speaker 13: that anybody should be so dedicated to one party that
32:03
Speaker 13: they can't see other views out there.
32:06
Speaker 5: Texas Democrats are moderate and have popular policies. Republicans are
32:10
Speaker 5: about authorietariotism, worshiping false idols. You know this is true.
32:14
Speaker 5: You create a false equivalence because it makes you comfortable
32:17
Speaker 5: supporting sending the military after citizens in the US, illegal deportations,
32:21
Speaker 5: open bribes, and theft by Republicans. Appreciate the text what
32:24
Speaker 5: I would say to that Democrats are moderate, have popular policies,
32:27
Speaker 5: some some do. The reason that the Democratic Party is
32:30
Speaker 5: in the shape that it's in in this nation right
32:32
Speaker 5: now is because they have gone wacko left, far far left.
32:36
Speaker 5: Don't believe me. Talk to longtime liberal Democrats. Talk to
32:40
Speaker 5: somebody like a Bill Maher who says this party has
32:42
Speaker 5: lost their freaking mind. And the same could be said
32:45
Speaker 5: for republic I left the Republican Party, right, I mean
32:47
Speaker 5: I left it because it no longer represented me. Ronald
32:51
Speaker 5: Trump is not mean I voted for the guy twice.
32:54
Speaker 5: I'm not a Trump guy. He's my president, and I
32:56
Speaker 5: respect him and I want him to do well. But
32:58
Speaker 5: both sides, in my opinion, and have been so overtaken,
33:01
Speaker 5: Lisa by the extremism. Extremism on both sides. That's that's
33:06
Speaker 5: just my opinion.
33:07
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I voted, I voted for Kamala. I mean,
33:11
Speaker 13: you know, of course that's you know, that was that
33:13
Speaker 13: was the way I was drawn.
33:15
Speaker 3: I felt like.
33:16
Speaker 13: I had I had just these I don't want to say,
33:19
Speaker 13: feelings of dread. When they were talking about electing Donald
33:24
Speaker 13: Trump and you know, having him back in office, I
33:27
Speaker 13: just felt like he wasn't the direction our country needed
33:31
Speaker 13: to go. And on a lot of on a lot
33:33
Speaker 13: of platforms, on a lot of different issues, and I
33:36

Speaker 13: to be honest Project twenty twenty five. Hanging around out there,
33:42
Speaker 13: I didn't like the vibe that I got from from

36:41
Speaker 5: use someone who willfully and enthusiastically disregards the Constitution? Tex says,
36:48
Speaker 5: thank you. That's exactly why I walked away from the
36:50
Speaker 5: Democrat Party years ago. When these intolerant, hate field insane
36:54
Speaker 5: progressive began taking over it, they lost a lot of people.
36:58
Speaker 5: You want to respond to that you hate filled insane progressive?
37:03
Speaker 5: Is that what I am now, I'm just kidding. I'm
37:06
Speaker 5: just kidding.
37:07
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I just see that.
37:10
Speaker 13: That's the thing that's exactly proving my point that I
37:13
Speaker 13: just tried to make a few minutes ago, is that
37:17
Speaker 13: it's hard to talk about it without inciting strong emotions.
37:21
Speaker 13: People cannot keep a calm, rational type of mood and
37:26
Speaker 13: give rational thought a chance when they become so charged
37:31
Speaker 13: up and respond to different views. Does that make sense?
37:35
Speaker 13: They can't, They can't really think it through. And I'm
37:38
Speaker 13: guilty of it. I'm guilty of it. I've had moments
37:40
Speaker 13: when people have said things that have totally set me
37:42
Speaker 13: off my rocker, and then you kind of you don't
37:45
Speaker 13: you don't think it through and really say things in
37:49
Speaker 13: a way that people will respond positively to it or
37:53
Speaker 13: even listen to you, because when you're angry and you
37:55
Speaker 13: say things like that, I'm not listening. Once you get
37:57
Speaker 13: to that point that name calling is involved, and I'm
37:59
Speaker 13: not listening to your point at all.
38:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's good, and I'm right there with you one

38:18
Speaker 5: conservative to moderate southern West Virginia Democrat and I believe this.
38:22
Speaker 5: Not every Democrat policy is right, not every Republican idea
38:26
Speaker 5: is wrong. There has to be people from both sides
38:29
Speaker 5: talking about issues we agree on and then working on
38:31
Speaker 5: the things that we don't. Sometimes the best ideas come
38:35
Speaker 5: from someone having a different point of view perfect. I agree,
38:39
Speaker 5: Applod applaud At agree with that. So let's talk real
38:45
Speaker 5: briefly before we let you go here. Elon Musk has
38:47
Speaker 5: come out and says he's going to start another party,
38:50
Speaker 5: the America Party. I don't see that being a relevant thing.
38:55
Speaker 5: But the people have said that their Joe Manchin was
38:59
Speaker 5: on the Armer Center to Mansion, was on mid Day
39:01
Speaker 5: with Amanda in me last week, and you know, he'd
39:04
Speaker 5: kind of toyed with that out. He's a registered independent now.
39:07
Speaker 5: He kind of toyed that when idea of a third party.
39:08
Speaker 5: We have the Libertarian Party in West Virginia with the
39:11
Speaker 5: Mountain Party in West Virginia. There is there a audience.
39:16
Speaker 5: Is there a market, if you will, for a third
39:21
Speaker 5: party in America, the fed Up Party?
39:24
Speaker 3: Yeah?
39:26
Speaker 13: I think that's that's a valid question. I don't think
39:29
Speaker 13: we're ready for it yet. I do think people are
39:32
Speaker 13: approaching that that point. I think we would have to
39:37
Speaker 13: see how the rest of this administration plays out. I
39:41
Speaker 13: would give it more time to see what successes and
39:44
Speaker 13: failures this administration experiences before you look at that third
39:49
Speaker 13: party option. I don't think that's the right source. Is
39:53
Speaker 13: that a good way to put it. I don't think
39:54
Speaker 13: Elon Musk would be exactly the right stable source. Well
39:59
Speaker 13: you could use create that you can start after stable. Okay, right, right, right,
40:03
Speaker 13: that's that's kind of my point. But yeah, I mean,
40:07
Speaker 13: like I said, I don't think we're quite there yet.
40:09
Speaker 13: We're approaching that point, but wait and see. I think
40:13
Speaker 13: everybody should just sit back and wait and see how
40:15
Speaker 13: the next you know, three years play out.
40:17
Speaker 5: All right, Uh, texture wanted to correct something wanted to say.
40:22
Speaker 5: And I don't know who my textures are, so but
40:24
Speaker 5: it said I this texture said that they want to
40:27
Speaker 5: make sure you knew they were not referring to you.
40:29
Speaker 5: When when when they talk about hate field, insane, progressive,
40:34
Speaker 5: they were not referring to you.
40:36
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you so much.
40:38
Speaker 5: That has happened to the Democrats, not to you, so
40:41
Speaker 5: see a little Well, no, they're not saying you are personally.
40:45
Speaker 5: They're saying the party. That's what the party has, party,
40:48
Speaker 5: not personal got it, Texas. It's unbelievably despicable how far
40:51
Speaker 5: New York City has fallen from sanity in one generation,
40:54
Speaker 5: from losing twenty nine hundred and seventy seven souls in
40:57
Speaker 5: one hundred and two minutes September eleventh by radical Islamist
41:01
Speaker 5: who possibly elected a radical Islamist as their next mayor.
41:03
Speaker 5: And yes, I know it was primaries, but you know
41:06
Speaker 5: evil is going to win. Tex says. The term both
41:10
Speaker 5: sides is a lazy gas lighting cop out that gained
41:13
Speaker 5: popularity after the White Nationals protest in twenty seventeen and
41:17
Speaker 5: Richmond when Trump used a phrase there are good people
41:20
Speaker 5: on both sides. Texas. Also, please call it the Democratic Party,
41:23
Speaker 5: not the Democrat Party, which is a cheap slur that
41:26
Speaker 5: equates dims with rats. I apologize, I thought I did
41:30
Speaker 5: call it that, Texas. No new party, Texas, No third
41:34
Speaker 5: party always divides the Republican, says a Texter. All right, Lisa,

46:04
Speaker 5: big announcement. Actually the governor is at the airport right now,
46:08
Speaker 5: Westerndinia International Younger Airport, for a big announcement. I've been
46:11
Speaker 5: doing a little radio thing here, so i haven't really
46:12
Speaker 5: got to see what the announcement was. I'll bring in TJ.
46:15
Speaker 5: Meadows here momentarily. TJ can can weigh in on it.
46:18
Speaker 5: But it's big announcements up there, as it relates to
46:21

Speaker 5: CEO of West Virginia, International Younger Airport will join us
46:26
Speaker 5: on the show to talk about it tomorrow. And also,
46:30
Speaker 5: I mean I think members of the Canon County Commissioner
46:32
Speaker 5: up there as well. Also, I am efforting, and I
46:36
Speaker 5: kind of touched on this earlier. I am efforting to
46:39
Speaker 5: get someone from the Knawa County Board of Education, maybe
46:42
Speaker 5: the superintendent or a board member or whatever on the
46:44
Speaker 5: implications on the proposed cell phone band in schools. Alluded
46:49
Speaker 5: to this earlier. Aaron Parker writes about it this morning
46:51
Speaker 5: wv Metronews dot com. This conversation. This was passed by
46:54
Speaker 5: the legislature, and the conversations have already started as to
46:58
Speaker 5: how they are going to do this. The legislature, of course,
47:02
Speaker 5: has enacted the cell phone band, and they have these
47:04
Speaker 5: little things, these little yonder pouches, that's what they're called.
47:08
Speaker 5: And in some instances, students, and they've done this in
47:12
Speaker 5: some areas of the country, students would be asked when
47:14
Speaker 5: they come in to place their phones in those pouches maybe,
47:18
Speaker 5: and their pouches are kepted in the front of the
47:20
Speaker 5: room or something like that. And as I said earlier,
47:25
Speaker 5: it's been proven that in other states, the parents are
47:30
Speaker 5: the ones that have the most problems with the cell
47:32
Speaker 5: phone bands, not the kids. Kids get used to it.
47:35
Speaker 5: And someone brought this up to me earlier this morning
47:37
Speaker 5: in a conversation. What would keep a kid from bringing
47:40
Speaker 5: an old phone, an old one with no service, and
47:43
Speaker 5: then handing it over to the teacher and leaving their
47:46
Speaker 5: active working phone in their pocket.
47:48
Speaker 14: Or back back.
47:49
Speaker 5: I can tell you fifteen year old entrepreneur Dave Allen
47:52
Speaker 5: would have been selling old, broken out of service phones
47:55
Speaker 5: to the other kids. I mean, that's what I would
47:57
Speaker 5: have been to do and becaurse. This is a guy
47:59
Speaker 5: that was pushing parlay cards in ninth grade. So there's
48:02
Speaker 5: that serious bus Now. There was a shooting late last
48:06
Speaker 5: night downtown. Twenty one year old Jacques Weldon of Charleston
48:09
Speaker 5: the victim. Twenty six year old Nigel Hampton of Charleston
48:12
Speaker 5: is the alleged shooter. He was charged with malicious wounding.
48:15
Speaker 5: The shooting was supposedly over music inside Theodelphia Sports Bar.
48:19
Speaker 5: Happened around ten thirty last night. Further details will be
48:23
Speaker 5: released later, but the information about that came out from
48:27
Speaker 5: the City of Charleston Police department during the overnight hours. Texas,
48:33

50:12
Speaker 5: tolerate you because I buy them things. That's what kids do. Okay.
50:16
Speaker 5: So where are you on this whole cell phone thing?
50:18
Speaker 5: I don't want to take away from talk line because
50:19
Speaker 5: I think you guys are going to get into But
50:20
Speaker 5: where are you on that? I really don't care? Okay,
50:23
Speaker 5: thanks for coming. Yeah. My kids have had to have
50:26
Speaker 5: iPads since they were in kindergarten.
50:28
Speaker 12: It's part of the curriculum and an iPad is essentially
50:31
Speaker 12: a cell phone. You can do anything on a you know,
50:34
Speaker 12: you can make a.
50:34
Speaker 5: Call, you can do whatever the text, take pictures, do whatever.
50:36
Speaker 5: Here's the funny thing.
50:38
Speaker 12: They teach our kids to be disciplined with their iPad
50:41
Speaker 12: at a very early age, and this funny thing happened.
50:45
Speaker 12: There's no problems with them because the kids became disciplined
50:47
Speaker 12: at a young age. So rather than taking the tool away,
50:50
Speaker 12: we decided to focus on discipline and turning young people
50:53
Speaker 12: into good adults and teaching them how.
50:55
Speaker 5: To use it. I would imagine, though, and you can
50:58
Speaker 5: correct me if I'm wrong, I would imagine what iPads
51:00
Speaker 5: that there are. They're restricted on what they're allowed to
51:02
Speaker 5: access though, right, or some kind of safeguards in there
51:04
Speaker 5: that they can't access. Maybe, I mean, I don't know
51:05
Speaker 5: if I'm wrong yet. No, No, then they can't gram
51:08
Speaker 5: them with the safeguards. But they can't can they do
51:10
Speaker 5: social media? As far as I know they can. I mean,
51:13
Speaker 5: there's always a kid that's going to figure it out.
51:14
Speaker 5: Because if you have a problem with your phone or
51:16
Speaker 5: your tablet, what do you do. You go find a
51:18
Speaker 5: twelve year old and so, hey, hey fix this for me,
51:20
Speaker 5: but no, they have internet access. A lot of the
51:22
Speaker 5: apps that they use. My children are not on social media,
51:25
Speaker 5: so I don't know if they will you allow them
51:27
Speaker 5: to be when they get old. How old are your
51:29
Speaker 5: kids ten? Eight and six? Okay? Will will you allow
51:32
Speaker 5: them when they get older to be on so much
51:34
Speaker 5: much older much of it? Like I would prefer that
51:36
Speaker 5: like till twenty seven. They can make that show because
51:40
Speaker 5: here's the thing.
51:41
Speaker 12: I intentionally don't put pictures of my kids on Facebook, okay,
51:44
Speaker 12: because they may not want to have a digital presence
51:47
Speaker 12: one day. Good point, and once I put that on
51:49
Speaker 12: on their behalf something out there.
51:52
Speaker 5: Do you kids have cell phones or will they have
51:54
Speaker 5: cell phones?
51:55
Speaker 13: Not?
51:55
Speaker 5: For a while. iPads are enough, they don't need cell phones.
51:58
Speaker 5: I would say. I had a good friend of mine.
52:01
Speaker 5: He and his wife decided sixteen and that was when
52:04
Speaker 5: their daughter started driving, and he said, you won't have
52:06
Speaker 5: a cell phone until you're sixteen years old.
52:08
Speaker 12: That seems to make sense. Well, kids are different, that's
52:10
Speaker 12: the thing. Know your kid make the right decision, all right?
52:13
Speaker 5: What you got coming up?
