- 2:15Speaker 3: a seventy on x Our pet this week is a
- 2:17Speaker 3: dog by the name of Buster. Tell us about Buster.
- 2:21Speaker 5: So Buster is a two year old neutered male. We
- 2:25Speaker 5: have some listed at about fifty fifty five pounds, so
- 2:28Speaker 5: he is a bigger guy if that's what you're looking for.
- 2:32Speaker 5: He's fully up to date on vaccines, microchips. In terms
- 2:35Speaker 5: of like the animals that he gets along with, he
- 2:39Speaker 5: does prefer female dogs, but once you know he's around
- 2:43Speaker 5: those dogs, he opens up. He's a complete social butterfly. Stuff.
- 2:47Speaker 5: That's the home you've got, he would be perfect for it,
- 2:49Speaker 5: and then you can always give it a test run
- 2:51Speaker 5: with fostering.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Yeah, he is a candidate for foster, And I think
- 2:55Speaker 3: that's very important sometimes because people you know, as you said,
- 2:59Speaker 3: I the term test run. But sometimes and Angie and
- 3:02Speaker 3: I talk about this every Weeklane, and sometimes people don't
- 3:05Speaker 3: live in but they're not in a position to be
- 3:09Speaker 3: able to adopt full time. But I know a lot
- 3:10Speaker 3: of folks have a good friend of mine who does that,
- 3:12Speaker 3: he and his wife, and they just have a constant
- 3:15Speaker 3: stream of foster's coming in. So that's something that you
- 3:17Speaker 3: can do to help out, uh, the shelter as well.
- 3:20Speaker 3: What kind of challenges has the shelter faced this week
- 3:23Speaker 3: with this storm? I mean that's affected everybody but what
- 3:25Speaker 3: about the shelter.
- 3:27Speaker 5: So we have been completely snowed in. Most of our
- 3:31Speaker 5: staff have been snowed in. The ice has been a
- 3:34Speaker 5: big challenge. We did have a couple of staff members
- 3:37Speaker 5: that stayed overnight. I think we had five or six
- 3:40Speaker 5: that stayed for I want to say, maybe three nights
- 3:42Speaker 5: in a row, just to make sure the animals got care.
- 3:45Speaker 5: And so the dedication of our team does does not stop.
- 3:50Speaker 3: That's for sure. We're talking about Elena Allen with the
- 3:53Speaker 3: Kannah Charstal Humane Association talking about Buster. This week's Adopt
- 3:57Speaker 3: Me Please peted the Week with Dave Allen Show on
- 3:59Speaker 3: five eighty Live broad to part by Morgan to Morgan,
- 4:01Speaker 3: America's largest injury law firm. Now, other than as I
- 4:05Speaker 3: said at the top of the show, and Lane is
- 4:06Speaker 3: sunny in seventy five, what are you folks in need
- 4:10Speaker 3: of up with the shelter right now?
- 4:13Speaker 5: I think blankets are probably the biggest thing, and we
- 4:16Speaker 5: are running low on wet food. But any donation is appreciated.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and the blankets are very important as and because
- 4:26Speaker 3: we talked to every week. We talked to Angie about that.
- 4:28Speaker 3: But you got to make sure that you get things
- 4:30Speaker 3: that can't freeze outside in these cold temperatures.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Right, yes, absolutely. If you have any outdoor pets, we
- 4:37Speaker 5: recommend bringing them inside. But if you absolutely cannot bring
- 4:40Speaker 5: them inside, we recommend creating a shelter and not putting
- 4:44Speaker 5: blankets in it. Stral is going to be the best thing,
- 4:46Speaker 5: because blankets can freeze.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the point. But I know inside the shelter
- 4:51Speaker 3: you ask us a blank But I should have phrased
- 4:53Speaker 3: that a little bit better. Actually, what I meant to
- 4:54Speaker 3: say was for people that are listening to have their
- 4:58Speaker 3: pets at home, you you really really should make sure
- 5:02Speaker 3: that blankets is probably not the way to go for outside, right,
- 5:05Speaker 3: you have straws much much much better.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Now I'm going to presume maybe you guys aren't out
- 5:12Speaker 3: and about anywhere this weekend or are you.
- 5:15Speaker 5: No, we are not. They went up to New Jersey.
- 5:18Speaker 5: But other than that, we are staying in the shelter.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I can. I can completely understand that. Well, hopefully we'll
- 5:25Speaker 3: have everybody back out. I saw on your Facebook page
- 5:28Speaker 3: that you're already talking about tuxes and tails, which is
- 5:30Speaker 3: not going to be for some time, but you've already
- 5:32Speaker 3: get the day that's available on your Facebook page. So
- 5:35Speaker 3: hopefully we'll get we'll get this cold weather behind this,
- 5:37Speaker 3: and so we'll see what the groundhog does. How's that
- 5:39Speaker 3: on Monday, and we'll see if we can snap out
- 5:42Speaker 3: of this wonder time. Hey, Alena, I appreciate you being
- 5:44Speaker 3: here subbing for Angie today. Thanks a lot, and we
- 5:46Speaker 3: will talk soon. Thanks a lot.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Elena Allen again from the can All Charleston Newman Association
- 5:53Speaker 3: with this week's Adopt Me Please put of the week.
- 5:55Speaker 3: It's a dog named Buster, and I got Buster's picture
- 5:58Speaker 3: posted Dave Allen Radio and face book at dave a
- 6:00Speaker 3: seventy on X and also the WCHS Network Facebook page
- 6:04Speaker 3: as well. Buster around two years old, about fifty to
- 6:08Speaker 3: fifty four to fifty five pounds somewhere in that general vicinity.
- 6:11Speaker 3: He is vaccinated, he is neutered, does best with female dogs,
- 6:16Speaker 3: loves people, has never met a stranger, and is eligible
- 6:20Speaker 3: for fostering as well. Just a beautiful, beautiful dog, big
- 6:23Speaker 3: old bushy tail. If you've not yet seen Buster's picture,
- 6:26Speaker 3: go over to my Facebook page or the WCCHS Network
- 6:29Speaker 3: Facebook page or at dave a seventy on X check
- 6:32Speaker 3: Buster out. Let's try to get Buster in a home.
- 6:34Speaker 3: And he is a great candidate for fostering too. So again,
- 6:37Speaker 3: if you're not in a position to be able to
- 6:39Speaker 3: adopt at this time, and I say this every week
- 6:42Speaker 3: with the folks at the shelter, there are so many things,
- 6:45Speaker 3: in so many ways that you can help out animal shelters,
- 6:48Speaker 3: whether it's the one in Canar or Putnam or wherever
- 6:50Speaker 3: it is. So many ways you can help out that
- 6:52Speaker 3: don't involve necessarily adopting pets. I mean you can make
- 6:56Speaker 3: cash donations, you can donate supplies or always in need
- 7:00Speaker 3: of food. There are always in need of blankets and
- 7:02Speaker 3: old towels and things of that nature. So many different
- 7:05Speaker 3: ways that or fostering. As I said, so many different
- 7:07Speaker 3: ways that you can help out at the shelter, go,
- 7:11Speaker 3: let's try it to get let's try to get Buster

- 10:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard it on the radio.
- 10:51Speaker 12: Did you Yeah, they did a good job.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Of course he did. I didn't do anything not it's
- 10:56Speaker 3: not the subpar They leave the subpart of me.
- 10:58Speaker 12: That's true.
- 10:59Speaker 3: All right. I want to welcome you. Welcome you both
- 11:02Speaker 3: of the show. We do have some serious stuff we
- 11:05Speaker 3: want to talk about, but we'll get some fun stuff
- 11:08Speaker 3: here a little bit. Senator, I want to start with you.
- 11:10Speaker 3: The Senate voted yesterday to make the eighth and Bible
- 11:14Speaker 3: available the social studies classrooms fourth, eighth and tenth grades
- 11:18Speaker 3: Senate Bill three eighty eight. You can read it for
- 11:20Speaker 3: yourself as part of Brad's story wv Metronews dot com.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Senator Grady, of course you are education chairwoman and a
- 11:26Speaker 3: teacher by trade. Why did you think this was so important?
- 11:28Speaker 2: So I was the lead sponsor of this bill, actually, Dave,
- 11:30Speaker 2: and so I have two of these Bibles in my
- 11:32Speaker 2: classroom in my fourth grade classroom, and the students use
- 11:36Speaker 2: it often to look at the very beginning of the Bible.
- 11:38Speaker 2: There are a lot of pages that gives some information,
- 11:40Speaker 2: some history when it comes to colonial times and during
- 11:43Speaker 2: our revolutionary time, and it prompts them really to be
- 11:46Speaker 2: interested more in history. And so the eighth and Bible
- 11:49Speaker 2: has a significant historical It's significant in our history, and
- 11:55Speaker 2: so I think it's really important that we have resources
- 11:57Speaker 2: available in our classrooms fourth eighth and tenth grade. Fourth
- 12:00Speaker 2: eighth and tenth graders all study us history during that
- 12:03Speaker 2: time period, and so the more resources we can give
- 12:05Speaker 2: them so that they understand the founding of our nation
- 12:08Speaker 2: and the history of it is really important. And so
- 12:11Speaker 2: this was important to me because it doesn't it doesn't
- 12:13Speaker 2: take any public funds, and so that's one of the
- 12:15Speaker 2: misconceptions is that we're going to be spending money on
- 12:17Speaker 2: our but we're nations right private donations. We already have
- 12:20Speaker 2: organizations that are set up to donate those. In some cases,
- 12:23Speaker 2: those organizations have tried to give them to schools for
- 12:26Speaker 2: this particular reason, and the schools were kind of like,
- 12:28Speaker 2: I don't know if we can take it or not.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And this clarifies that you can. Nothing precludes any of
- 12:34Speaker 2: these schools from having them already. Okay, So but this
- 12:38Speaker 2: bill states in these particular classrooms it has to be
- 12:40Speaker 2: there because the resource is available for kids to use.
- 12:43Speaker 3: It's but it's not being taught from, no per.
- 12:46Speaker 7: Se, No, it's it's it isn't a classroom.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Yeah, in the classroom library for a student to choose
- 12:50Speaker 2: if they want to, if they want to learn more
- 12:52Speaker 2: it is. It's a beautiful book and the history of
- 12:55Speaker 2: it is amazing, And so if a child wants to
- 12:57Speaker 2: access that as a resource, it's available to them. It
- 13:00Speaker 2: doesn't mean the teacher is going to use it. It doesn't
- 13:02Speaker 2: mean that the teacher is going to.
- 13:03Speaker 7: Teach from it.
- 13:04Speaker 2: It does not have any significance in the instruction coming
- 13:07Speaker 2: from a teacher in any way. It's just a resource,
- 13:10Speaker 2: just like any other kind of historical text or document
- 13:14Speaker 2: that we would have to use as a resource for kids.
- 13:16Speaker 2: That's it same difference.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Does the bill say that it would be just that Bible?
- 13:20Speaker 3: And would there be other Bibles that possibly because I
- 13:23Speaker 3: know there was some discussion on four with Senator Woeful
- 13:26Speaker 3: the Catholic Bible. I mean, is there is that if
- 13:30Speaker 3: if others wanted to be placed in there? Is that so?
- 13:32Speaker 2: So the bill specifically states the eight K Bible. Okay, However,
- 13:35Speaker 2: there is nothing that states that the Catholic Bible cannot
- 13:38Speaker 2: be in a classroom for a student to choose from
- 13:40Speaker 2: the classroom library. There is nothing that states in any
- 13:43Speaker 2: law that says that a classroom cannot have a religious
- 13:47Speaker 2: text for a student to choose to read. There's nothing
- 13:51Speaker 2: that states that. And so right now you can already
- 13:54Speaker 2: have whichever Bible or whatever book that you want to
- 13:57Speaker 2: have available to your students.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I want to ask you about five sixteen. I know
- 14:03Speaker 3: the lead sponsor that is centered TOCUBO, I believe, and
- 14:05Speaker 3: that would raise the minimum starting salary for a teacher
- 14:08Speaker 3: from a fifty thousand plus an annual two thousand dollars
- 14:11Speaker 3: race for all teachers and twelve hundred dollars a month
- 14:13Speaker 3: race for mathe and special ed teachers. Your thoughts on them.
- 14:16Speaker 2: So we had some really good discussion yesterday about that.
- 14:19Speaker 2: One of the main issues we have with teachers, Dave,
- 14:21Speaker 2: is that we can't recruit younger teachers and we can't
- 14:23Speaker 2: keep them. You know, so a lot of people I
- 14:26Speaker 2: don't know if you listened to the discussion yesterday, but
- 14:28Speaker 2: there was a lot of concern about, well, what about
- 14:30Speaker 2: our more seasoned teachers, what about our teachers that have
- 14:31Speaker 2: been there for a while. They're not leaving the retention part.
- 14:35Speaker 2: They're not leaving the profession because of the pay. You know,
- 14:38Speaker 2: and I've been teaching for nineteen years and so I
- 14:40Speaker 2: knew what the pay was getting into it. And they're
- 14:42Speaker 2: not leaving because of the pay. They're leaving the profession
- 14:45Speaker 2: because of other reasons. Okay, So this was a bill
- 14:47Speaker 2: that I felt like was really needed. Here's part of
- 14:49Speaker 2: the problem we have is we have our our bordering
- 14:52Speaker 2: counties that border other states. We have new teachers coming
- 14:55Speaker 2: right out of college and what they're doing is they're
- 14:57Speaker 2: applying to positions at in state to get some experience
- 15:01Speaker 2: so then they can apply out of state to make
- 15:02Speaker 2: a lot more money. And so we want to make
- 15:04Speaker 2: sure we are competitive to where we can hold those
- 15:07Speaker 2: younger teachers and keep them in West Virginia. That's that's
- 15:09Speaker 2: the entire concept of the bill. I think it's a
- 15:12Speaker 2: good start. Do I think our more season teachers need
- 15:14Speaker 2: to raise two Absolutely, But I think we've got to
- 15:16Speaker 2: look at making sure we have people coming into the profession.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Senator Ami Nicole Grady's here. Winfield basketball coach Travis tar
- 15:22Speaker 3: also here. I mentioned it earlier. A big win last night,
- 15:26Speaker 3: but you know, you, you and your kids have been
- 15:29Speaker 3: going through a bigger, much bigger battle than basketball with
- 15:32Speaker 3: one of with one of your players.
- 15:34Speaker 13: Talk about that, yes, sir, So we have a junior,
- 15:37Speaker 13: Ty Lockry, whose dad is my head JV coach, my
- 15:41Speaker 13: second chair on varsity. Ty has played for me now
- 15:45Speaker 13: going into his third year with me. I've coached both
- 15:47Speaker 13: of his brothers. His mom serves on my boosters and
- 15:50Speaker 13: Ty was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymfoma stage three at the
- 15:54Speaker 13: end of December, and so the past month he has
- 15:59Speaker 13: been at Cincinnati. Oldren's undergoing chemotherapy. Is really a shock
- 16:03Speaker 13: to all of us. And you know he's doing well
- 16:06Speaker 13: as of right now. He just went through his second
- 16:09Speaker 13: second chemo treatment and they're showing, you know, lyphops, a
- 16:12Speaker 13: shrunk spleen, a shrunk down. I talked to him last
- 16:15Speaker 13: night after our win. You know, he's the first text
- 16:17Speaker 13: message I received, and he's he's feeling better, his spirits
- 16:23Speaker 13: are good, has gained a little bit of weight. He's
- 16:25Speaker 13: working out every day for about thirty forty five minutes
- 16:27Speaker 13: with his dad. And so, you know, the community. What
- 16:30Speaker 13: I can really say with with the adversity we've been
- 16:34Speaker 13: hit with our basketball teams embraced it to four tie,
- 16:39Speaker 13: the community has been and my I SAI community, I
- 16:42Speaker 13: mean in the state of West Virginia, the basketball community, coaches,
- 16:46Speaker 13: other programs have just been There's been such an outpouring
- 16:50Speaker 13: of support for the family, monetarily prayers, phone calls, mills
- 16:56Speaker 13: because mary Beth had to step away from work. You know,
- 16:59Speaker 13: she's not ocupacional therapist, does birth to three. So she
- 17:01Speaker 13: spent her life for children and in her professional life
- 17:04Speaker 13: and so she's had stepped back. Mike works for c AMC.
- 17:06Speaker 13: They've been very graceful with him to allow him some flexibility.
- 17:09Speaker 13: But they still have two other kids in college that
- 17:13Speaker 13: are you know, having just gas money back and forth
- 17:15Speaker 13: and stuff. Now that comes a little tighter of her strings.
- 17:18Speaker 13: And but all in all, you know, the the outpouring
- 17:22Speaker 13: that we've had in this community and the support they
- 17:24Speaker 13: felt has been second to none. And Tye, like set End,
- 17:28Speaker 13: they ties a strong kid. He's going to bounce through this.
- 17:31Speaker 3: And you talk about the sense of community, there's no
- 17:34Speaker 3: bigger rival for the Winfield Generals than the Hurricane Redskins.
- 17:37Speaker 3: And when you guys played a couple of weeks ago,
- 17:39Speaker 3: you had both.
- 17:40Speaker 13: Teams that the beauty of that is so Dana Walmick,
- 17:43Speaker 13: who's the new coach at Hurricane, has been Ty's dad's
- 17:46Speaker 13: best friends since high school. And he gave me a
- 17:50Speaker 13: phone call when we first got tied when once we
- 17:53Speaker 13: found out Ty was diagnosed with Hodgkins and called, he said, I.
- 17:56Speaker 12: Don't know what we need to do. We need to
- 17:58Speaker 12: do something.
- 17:58Speaker 11: Well.
- 17:58Speaker 13: Both of our next game after that diagnosis was each other,
- 18:02Speaker 13: and so it was like, man, we said, we've got
- 18:04Speaker 13: a big platform and Putnam County is going to wake
- 18:06Speaker 13: up and this is always the world in thirty four.
- 18:09Speaker 12: That's what it's focused on.
- 18:10Speaker 13: But it turned into an enormous community prayer circle for
- 18:14Speaker 13: the game, airby in.
- 18:15Speaker 12: Lockery shirts, a packed house.
- 18:19Speaker 13: You know, I can't say enough about coach Wamick. He's
- 18:21Speaker 13: just an absolutely top tier guy in that community. It
- 18:25Speaker 13: really kicked off the support structure for what we see
- 18:30Speaker 13: now for Tye. You know, last night Nitro came into
- 18:33Speaker 13: our place and I didn't know, but they're they're wearing
- 18:36Speaker 13: ty Lockery shirts when they showed up.
- 18:37Speaker 3: The cheerleaders cool. It's awesome, Senator? Is that not the
- 18:41Speaker 3: most West Virginia thing ever?
- 18:42Speaker 1: Right there?
- 18:42Speaker 7: It's amazing?
- 18:43Speaker 1: You know.
- 18:43Speaker 2: I follow that on social media, and I think I
- 18:46Speaker 2: see other teams too, you know, and I think it's
- 18:48Speaker 2: I think it's just amazing. It's a sense of our
- 18:49Speaker 2: the community we have in West Virginia. Everybody comes together
- 18:52Speaker 2: whenever somebody's in need, and I love that about our people.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Do you guys play logan this year my alma mater?
- 18:57Speaker 12: Yes, we do at home. Okay, four weeks.
- 19:00Speaker 3: I will make sure. I mean, I'm sure Hatcher's probably
- 19:02Speaker 3: already on it, but I'll make sure that the Cats
- 19:05Speaker 3: support it. As they're beating you, I'll.
- 19:07Speaker 12: Make I'll make sure you've got a nice win. Fields.
- 19:10Speaker 3: That's all right. This sounds good to be all right.
- 19:11Speaker 3: I appreciate that. All right. So you guys got some
- 19:14Speaker 3: guest here with us as well. A Senator who's this?
- 19:17Speaker 2: This is my thirteen year old daughter, Easton, who is
- 19:19Speaker 2: also on my basketball team, Dave. So, Okay, I'm sure
- 19:22Speaker 2: she's not gonna be honest with you if you ask
- 19:23Speaker 2: her her experiences with mom as a coach, so you
- 19:26Speaker 2: probably shouldn't.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Coach. Who do you have with you here?
- 19:28Speaker 12: That's my son Bentley, who as well thirteen year old.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Today.
- 19:31Speaker 12: Their buddies, all right, I'm dragging them out.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Here, all right, So I want to have a little
- 19:35Speaker 3: fun with both of you today. Sure you guys, You
- 19:38Speaker 3: guys have got this little back and forth going on
- 19:40Speaker 3: social media. Uh uh, and let me ask you, first sender,
- 19:45Speaker 3: did you get a technical the other name Dave.
- 19:48Speaker 2: That's been a few weeks ago, and if you don't
- 19:50Speaker 2: have time for me to explain that, but I was right.
- 19:52Speaker 2: You don't get a coach of technical when they're right,
- 19:54Speaker 2: and so so we won't go there.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that's perfectly, perfectly fine. But uh but
- 20:01Speaker 3: so what is it that that you guys been going
- 20:04Speaker 3: back and forth? I mean, so you're questioning coach Tar's
- 20:08Speaker 3: coaching bill?
- 20:08Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, David. I think I think
- 20:10Speaker 2: that somebody starts to work with him. I think somebody's
- 20:13Speaker 2: name that rhymes with Eric Tar has sped you a line.
- 20:16Speaker 2: And so you know, Coach Tarr and I actually are
- 20:18Speaker 2: really close friends. And he's actually the only coach that
- 20:21Speaker 2: I reach out to whenever I.
- 20:22Speaker 7: Want some advice.
- 20:23Speaker 3: What do you coach?
- 20:24Speaker 7: Would I do a point Pleasant Point Pleasant Junior High?
- 20:26Speaker 2: Okay, middle school girls a direly different world than high
- 20:29Speaker 2: school boys, and so you know, we have different worlds,
- 20:33Speaker 2: different experiences, but it's really fun to share them and
- 20:36Speaker 2: get some feedback from each other.
- 20:38Speaker 7: That's that's it now.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Now we could go back and forth on if you
- 20:40Speaker 2: said a hoop out here in the in the parking lot,
- 20:42Speaker 2: who would win in a one on one game?
- 20:44Speaker 3: We could go back and forth on well, it'd be
- 20:45Speaker 3: especially fun right now. So it's ice covered out there,
- 20:48Speaker 3: and Travis's age, he really got to watch that break
- 20:51Speaker 3: and a hip sort of thing, right, yeah, all right,
- 20:54Speaker 3: So what do you think of her as a coach?
- 20:55Speaker 12: I think she's done an awesome job.
- 20:57Speaker 14: You know.
- 20:57Speaker 13: It's it's funny. I've been coaching for a good long
- 20:59Speaker 13: time time, and I've known Amy for a good while.
- 21:01Speaker 13: And I went and watched her team play last year
- 21:04Speaker 13: at Winfield Middle School and sat with Amy and Jack
- 21:08Speaker 13: watching And when you have someone that sets and watches
- 21:12Speaker 13: as a parent, you get to hear some fun things. Uh,
- 21:15Speaker 13: you know, there's a lot of compliments that's given during
- 21:18Speaker 13: a game from parents. But with that said, she went
- 21:22Speaker 13: into action to fix some of the concerns she had
- 21:25Speaker 13: as a coach. And so for me, you know that
- 21:27Speaker 13: Amy's not a person to really settled the sideline on anything.
- 21:29Speaker 13: If you haven't noticed that, she's I've noticed what's on
- 21:34Speaker 13: her minds and comes out of her mouth a lot
- 21:35Speaker 13: of times, and and her actions speak And so that's
- 21:38Speaker 13: one of the things I ultimately respect out of Amy
- 21:41Speaker 13: as a senator, as a person. And so this year,
- 21:44Speaker 13: when you watch those girls play, I mean they're they're winning, Uh,
- 21:48Speaker 13: they're playing harder the respect. I just spoke with Winfield
- 21:50Speaker 13: Middle School's girls coach this morning. He called me to
- 21:52Speaker 13: congratulate me on our game yesterday, and I talk a
- 21:56Speaker 13: lot with him, and one of the first things he says,
- 21:58Speaker 13: you know, we've got tournament coming up, or be he
- 22:01Speaker 13: tearyew point pleasant or logan, and first saying he does,
- 22:03Speaker 13: echo how good of a job Amy's doing with the girls.
- 22:06Speaker 13: And so the basketball community you're small, you know in
- 22:10Speaker 13: regards to our state. I think it's cool that I
- 22:11Speaker 13: get have a relationship with you know, our all of
- 22:15Speaker 13: our coaches within our program at Winfield within the community
- 22:18Speaker 13: and adjacently throughout you know, our state, with such as Amy.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Talking to Winfield Basketball boys basketball coach Travis Tar and
- 22:25Speaker 3: Senator Amy Nicole Great Eve Dave Allen Show on five
- 22:27Speaker 3: ety Live brought to you in part by Pinnacle Consultants.
- 22:30Speaker 3: They're hiring. They have two positions available for field technicians.
- 22:33Speaker 3: Experience isn't required, but would be helpful if it's a
- 22:35Speaker 3: Pinnacle Court dot Net. For more information call or call
- 22:38Speaker 3: three zero four seven five seven five two zero four
- 22:41Speaker 3: Pinnacle Consultants. What you don't know can hurt you, all right,
- 22:43Speaker 3: So I gotta get something here. Because when I had
- 22:45Speaker 3: had your brother, Senator Tar on the show a couple
- 22:47Speaker 3: of days ago, Travis, he tells me, he said, what
- 22:49Speaker 3: would be really fun is if you got Senator Grady
- 22:53Speaker 3: and you got my brother you Travis in studio here
- 22:55Speaker 3: and have them kind of go back and forth with
- 22:57Speaker 3: each other, so we kind of give me something to
- 23:00Speaker 3: work with.
- 23:01Speaker 12: Come on, So where's my brother and all this?
- 23:02Speaker 3: That's his question right in the middle, He's sitting in
- 23:06Speaker 3: his office at the capitols into the whole thing.
- 23:09Speaker 13: On The entertaining part would be having Eric here in
- 23:12Speaker 13: us talking basketball theory.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Okay, that would be the letaining part. Okay, how would
- 23:16Speaker 3: that conversation go?
- 23:17Speaker 13: Oh so funny enough. My first basketball game, I coached
- 23:22Speaker 13: at varsity level in the state of West Virginia. I've
- 23:24Speaker 13: done some coaching back in Kentucky before I moved here.
- 23:28Speaker 13: And Eric set first chair to meuse I didn't have
- 23:30Speaker 13: an assistant, so I asked him. I said, hey, I
- 23:32Speaker 13: can't have an empty chair and look lonely, so you come,
- 23:34Speaker 13: come sit next to me. So he says, next to
- 23:36Speaker 13: me at the clipboard. And when I went to Winfield.
- 23:39Speaker 13: You know, my brother and I support each other. It
- 23:42Speaker 13: it doesn't matter what we're doing. I mean, we're neighbors,
- 23:44Speaker 13: we're business partners, you know. In the political world, where
- 23:48Speaker 13: I can stay in the shadows of I'm I'm always in.
- 23:52Speaker 12: I'm always behind.
- 23:53Speaker 13: Him in regardless of you know, running freeofice right now
- 23:56Speaker 13: if you announced his re election campaign. And so he's
- 24:00Speaker 13: always when I'm in my coaching helmet, you know, and
- 24:04Speaker 13: he's always in my corner. And my very first game
- 24:06Speaker 13: at Winfield, he drove to North Marion out of nowhere
- 24:08Speaker 13: and he's sitting right behind my bench. I didn't know
- 24:10Speaker 13: he was coming, you know, and so there's always the
- 24:13Speaker 13: support with us. And then you can see he's throwing
- 24:15Speaker 13: me into a fire here with you after. I was
- 24:19Speaker 13: really hoping for like a Jerry Springer type. I really
- 24:22Speaker 13: wanted chairs flying and that sort of thing.
- 24:23Speaker 7: You know, me, I don't even throw chairs days.
- 24:26Speaker 12: So he just screams at officials and get.
- 24:29Speaker 3: The how did you get to I'm sorry, how did
- 24:32Speaker 3: you get the technical if you didn't throw a chair?
- 24:34Speaker 2: So if you want the story, I want the story.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Story with Wayne Ryan of the s S A C.
- 24:40Speaker 2: The director, He came in my office the other day
- 24:42Speaker 2: and that was his first question. You got a technical one.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I said, listen, I'm tired of this.
- 24:46Speaker 13: I need to make a small statement before the starts.
- 24:48Speaker 13: I have no part of this. To our officials out
- 24:51Speaker 13: there in special Land, I love you all. You guys
- 24:53Speaker 13: do an incredible job. It's a hard job. I appreciate
- 24:57Speaker 13: everything you do, especially when you come to Winfield get
- 24:59Speaker 13: your little treat baskets.
- 25:00Speaker 15: You know.
- 25:00Speaker 2: We're so now now let's go to yeah and my
- 25:05Speaker 2: technical technical So.
- 25:07Speaker 3: I'll tell you this. We were talking about, you know,
- 25:09Speaker 3: wearing winter boots. After that, I need my boots on
- 25:13Speaker 3: right now, that's exactly right. Go upstairs to get my
- 25:15Speaker 3: boots out of the office to go ahead, sir.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Well before I want to say, my girls are gritty,
- 25:19Speaker 2: you know that they they play with so much fire
- 25:22Speaker 2: every single game, and so when I feel like they're
- 25:25Speaker 2: being treated unfairly, it lights me up because I get
- 25:27Speaker 2: I get fired up. And so we were at Ripley.
- 25:31Speaker 2: No offense to Ripley. I love my Ripley people, but
- 25:33Speaker 2: it's hard to win there sometimes, you know, I mean,
- 25:34Speaker 2: that's a the atmosphere is always really really high. We
- 25:37Speaker 2: we had We were in a game and their point
- 25:41Speaker 2: guard brings to the ball across half court. Our guard
- 25:44Speaker 2: knocks the ball out of her handball goes rolling over shooting.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Their shooting guard picks it up, proceeds to pass it
- 25:48Speaker 2: back to their point guard, who is now back court.
- 25:50Speaker 7: Okay, so the calling basketball is that's over and back.
- 25:53Speaker 2: But because their middle school girls and they get confused
- 25:55Speaker 2: pretty easily, their point guard decided to go ahead and
- 25:57Speaker 2: set up their offense on our basket. They went off direction,
- 26:00Speaker 2: set up their offense. My team goes back and they're
- 26:02Speaker 2: trying to play defense. We're all yelling that's.
- 26:04Speaker 7: Over and back.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That's over and back. The referees on the other side
- 26:06Speaker 2: of the court. He's letting them set up their offense,
- 26:09Speaker 2: and they went through five passes.
- 26:10Speaker 7: So I walk up to half.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Court and walk across and I'm yelling. By this time,
- 26:14Speaker 2: the gym is completely quiet because they see that. I'm yeah,
- 26:17Speaker 2: And I said, you know, that's not their basket, that's
- 26:20Speaker 2: our basket.
- 26:20Speaker 7: How do you not know that? That's your job?
- 26:22Speaker 2: And he gave me a technical and then I said,
- 26:24Speaker 2: you can't give me a technical if I'm right, and
- 26:26Speaker 2: then I walked off.
- 26:26Speaker 7: That was it in the story. So it was and
- 26:30Speaker 7: and it was. It was crazy, but he just maybe
- 26:32Speaker 7: he just had a bad night. So I'll give him that.
- 26:35Speaker 3: All right, But but better put the exclamation put in this, like,
- 26:38Speaker 3: coach to our set, set.
- 26:42Speaker 7: Have a really rough job. And we have a We
- 26:44Speaker 7: have a game tomorrow against the Logan timber Wolves.
- 26:46Speaker 3: All right, Logan Middle Schools.
- 26:48Speaker 2: At Point Pleasant. We're one on one with them this year.
- 26:50Speaker 2: So they beat us one game. We just beat them
- 26:52Speaker 2: last week at Logan and so it'll be a good,
- 26:54Speaker 2: pretty good game.
- 26:54Speaker 3: How's what kind of team Slogan have?
- 26:56Speaker 16: That?
- 26:56Speaker 2: Then, followed, and they grow them differently down there. Damon,

- 27:40Speaker 3: a lot of the people didn't even want to talk
- 27:41Speaker 3: about Mothman uh. And it was a weird thing because
- 27:44Speaker 3: I remember they were talking about bringing people into town
- 27:47Speaker 3: and I'm I'm a young I'm in the news I'm
- 27:48Speaker 3: a young reporter and I'm up there covering like a

- 28:00Speaker 3: I'm twenty one years old and I'm right out of college.
- 28:01Speaker 3: I'm sitting there thinking, why don't you guys trying to
- 28:03Speaker 3: capitalize this? And they were like, no, no, that makes
- 28:05Speaker 3: us look backwoods. Well look what it's become now. I mean,

- 28:23Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you were kind of rolling your eyes, but
- 28:25Speaker 3: she was rolling rolling her eyes at you about Mothman.
- 28:28Speaker 12: We had a Mothman conversation.
- 28:30Speaker 7: We have several months, right conversations.
- 28:32Speaker 13: Yes, Henry, I can't remember what started the conversation, but
- 28:37Speaker 13: she's adamant about this Mothman process. And we got then
- 28:39Speaker 13: we got to talking about Chief Cornstock.
- 28:41Speaker 7: Okay, I didn't say the mothman was real. Track, Yes
- 28:43Speaker 7: she did, you did. No, Actually, I aren't with my
- 28:46Speaker 7: fourth grader's about this all the time. Mothman is not real.
- 28:48Speaker 7: It's a bell.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Ryan. Can you get a sound effect of a bell?
- 28:51Speaker 7: I do remember what our conversation was.
- 28:52Speaker 2: We were talking about Chief Cornstock and how he put
- 28:54Speaker 2: a curse on the land for two hundred years. And
- 28:56Speaker 2: you said, was the mothman part of that curse? And
- 28:58Speaker 2: I said, the mothman is not real, Travis, And you said,
- 29:04Speaker 2: now you're getting.
- 29:04Speaker 3: It, David, Right now, we're getting it. Now we're getting
- 29:07Speaker 3: to the good stuff. What do you think about all this,
- 29:09Speaker 3: young lady, Come on, come in here, just say something

- 29:20Speaker 4: So, Yeah, I don't think it's a very good idea
- 29:24Speaker 4: for me to talk about my mom right now with
- 29:26Speaker 4: her right beside me, especially with her coaching abilities.
- 29:29Speaker 7: Okay, I'm not saying she's a bad coach.
- 29:31Speaker 3: What's wrong with her coaching? This is this is the
- 29:37Speaker 3: teacher coming out of here, because what this is what
- 29:39Speaker 3: I used to hear all the time up to the board,
- 29:41Speaker 3: you know, back in the corner. Put your desk right
- 29:43Speaker 3: up here. I just thought that every year my desk
- 29:45Speaker 3: was by the teacher's desk. I just I thought I
- 29:47Speaker 3: thought she liked me. I thought she liked me. All right,
- 29:50Speaker 3: so you guys play next coach.
- 29:52Speaker 13: So tomorrow we go to Wayne and play in the
- 29:55Speaker 13: Strong Still Strong Cancer. Actually it's a cancer event with
- 29:59Speaker 13: Sean Medding, who's the coach at Wayne. I think it
- 30:02Speaker 13: was his nephew passed away of cancer, three four year
- 30:05Speaker 13: old child, and so they're having their first event. We
- 30:07Speaker 13: played Saint Joe at three fifteen tomorrow. Then we got
- 30:10Speaker 13: Lincoln County coming in Tuesday, and so it's, uh, we're
- 30:15Speaker 13: in a grind man. We got uh we scheduled light
- 30:18Speaker 13: first of the year and going into February, we got
- 30:22Speaker 13: two to three games every week going.
- 30:23Speaker 3: In and before we close. Coach, I don't want to
- 30:26Speaker 3: I've had fun with the whole controversy between you there.
- 30:28Speaker 3: There really is none. I've just kind of studied your brother. Brother,
- 30:31Speaker 3: it's my brother. It's always your brother.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Uh.
- 30:33Speaker 3: But but I do want to say this, you pride
- 30:35Speaker 3: yourself is a Winfield coach on on Winfield kids.
- 30:38Speaker 13: I do absolutely talk about that. We the Winfield community is.
- 30:43Speaker 13: It's a tight, tight community. And when I when I
- 30:48Speaker 13: first came into Winfield, you know, I was coaching on
- 30:50Speaker 13: the national circuit for several years prior to coming to Winfield.
- 30:54Speaker 13: And when we when COVID hit, we closed our prep
- 30:56Speaker 13: program because it couldn't get host families and such with
- 30:59Speaker 13: their national students. And so I started coaching Bentley's youth
- 31:02Speaker 13: team and spent a year in youth league, which is
- 31:05Speaker 13: actually a godsend because I got to know a lot
- 31:07Speaker 13: of the other youth coaches and such. The went to
- 31:11Speaker 13: volunteer at the middle school. To make a very brief story,
- 31:14Speaker 13: with Mike Lockery, who is Tie's dad, I went in
- 31:17Speaker 13: and said, can I volunteer? I just want to be
- 31:18Speaker 13: back in the game a little bit. Because during a
- 31:20Speaker 13: dead period with that happening, Winfield's job opened up at
- 31:25Speaker 13: twelve hour on a late October on late October night, really,
- 31:30Speaker 13: and so I applied for the job. Ended up getting
- 31:32Speaker 13: it because of relationships. I went back and started working
- 31:35Speaker 13: in the youth league really aggressively. Coach Beller got hired
- 31:38Speaker 13: as a middle school coach because Mike Lockry had stepped
- 31:40Speaker 13: up to the high school and so we were able
- 31:42Speaker 13: to start layering our program. So our kids in youth
- 31:46Speaker 13: league are running a lot of our concepts that we
- 31:48Speaker 13: run through varsity level. Now, the kids I have that
- 31:51Speaker 13: took the court last night, they're all Winfield kids. They're
- 31:54Speaker 13: all they've all played at Winfilddle School, They've came through
- 31:57Speaker 13: the Winfield Youth League. It is stacked that way, you know.
- 32:00Speaker 13: And so in an air where players just jump back
- 32:03Speaker 13: and forth in zigzaggle over the state in mid season
- 32:06Speaker 13: even you know, I'm proud of the what we have
- 32:10Speaker 13: going on Winfield where people truly it means something to
- 32:12Speaker 13: put Winfield, Jersey onto these kids and you see it
- 32:15Speaker 13: when they play. I've got the artist playing team I
- 32:16Speaker 13: think in the state, Like these kids lay everything on
- 32:19Speaker 13: the line every night for me.
- 32:20Speaker 12: They practice this way.
- 32:22Speaker 13: It's because there's a different pride factor I fl to them.
- 32:24Speaker 13: And you know, we play a lot of good teams
- 32:26Speaker 13: in the area. There's a ton of great basketball, especially
- 32:28Speaker 13: in Triple A. Triple is absolutely loaded, our regions loaded.
- 32:31Speaker 13: But I never have to beg our kids for effort.
- 32:33Speaker 13: And you know, they're starting to play well together, and
- 32:35Speaker 13: I think that's a compliment really to them staying through
- 32:38Speaker 13: process since we started, uh you know, started stacking the middle.
- 32:42Speaker 3: School youth league such Winfield coach Travis Tarr and Bentley
- 32:46Speaker 3: appreciate you being here. And Senator Amy Nicole Grady, You've

- 36:37Speaker 3: guy that including mispronouncing Lisha's name. By the way, Mark,
- 36:40Speaker 3: if you're listening, that's not how she pronounces her name anyway.
- 36:44Speaker 3: It's called Feed and Seed, presented by Harvest. Tell us,
- 36:47Speaker 3: either one of you just jump in and just tell
- 36:49Speaker 3: us about what's going to happen to It's at four thirty,
- 36:51Speaker 3: right four thirty at four to twelve Elizabeth Street. That's
- 36:54Speaker 3: the YWCA Charleston, Catherine Kitty Dooley Center for Community Richmond.
- 36:59Speaker 3: Talk about either one of you jump and talk about
- 37:01Speaker 3: this a bit.
- 37:02Speaker 15: Okay, Well, it's hosted by Harvest and in collaboration with
- 37:05Speaker 15: a couple of other organizations like My Urban Farm in
- 37:09Speaker 15: and Mace Meadow as well as Alicia's Unity Sisters Farms.
- 37:13Speaker 15: What we're going to do is actually interact with the
- 37:16Speaker 15: people who show up and discuss with them different ways
- 37:19Speaker 15: that they can get involved in agriculture, small or large,
- 37:23Speaker 15: whether you're gardening at home, gardening on a larger scale,
- 37:27Speaker 15: or farming. We'll be giving you information about how you
- 37:30Speaker 15: can get involved in those things. Things you can plant
- 37:33Speaker 15: at home, things you can grow and how agriculture and
- 37:36Speaker 15: farming just as a benefit to yourself, the community, our
- 37:40Speaker 15: families in West Virginia.
- 37:41Speaker 11: As a whole.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Lisa talk about you're involvement in this. How did you
- 37:44Speaker 3: guys get involved in this?
- 37:46Speaker 10: We actually started growing and we actually became very good
- 37:51Speaker 10: at it. So right now we're actually focused on teaching
- 37:54Speaker 10: other people to grow so that they can sustain food
- 37:57Speaker 10: for their families.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Why is so important?
- 38:00Speaker 10: It's really definitely a passion. We have food deserts here,
- 38:04Speaker 10: so it's definitely important for us to grow and to
- 38:07Speaker 10: teach other people how to grow.
- 38:10Speaker 3: And you would think, guys, with it being West Virginia,
- 38:13Speaker 3: because we you know, traditionally have been a gardening state,
- 38:16Speaker 3: agriculture state, you know whatever, you would think you wouldn't
- 38:18Speaker 3: have to teach people the importance of this. But I guess,
- 38:20Speaker 3: you know, as generations have come and gone and then
- 38:23Speaker 3: we just keep going through the passage of time, everybody
- 38:25Speaker 3: thinks everything comes from Kroger. Yeah, and there's no other
- 38:28Speaker 3: role with Kroger, don't get me wrong, But that's not
- 38:29Speaker 3: where everything comes from.
- 38:31Speaker 15: That is it actually Just about two generations ago, every
- 38:34Speaker 15: house just about had a garden that supplemented their household.
- 38:38Speaker 15: And if you think about Kroger just a week or
- 38:40Speaker 15: so ago, the shelves were empty.
- 38:42Speaker 7: Yes, people were concerned with the winter storm.
- 38:45Speaker 15: So that just indicates to you how quickly that our
- 38:48Speaker 15: food supply can be affected by just about anything, and
- 38:51Speaker 15: how quickly it can be depleted. So it's super important
- 38:53Speaker 15: that we do not be that we are no longer
- 38:55Speaker 15: completely dependent on outside sources for our food. And it's
- 38:59Speaker 15: also important that our children know where food comes from.
- 39:01Speaker 15: They don't know that food comes from the ground. It
- 39:03Speaker 15: comes from a tree, it comes from a bush, like
- 39:05Speaker 15: they think it comes from Croger.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Somebody's in the back building it. Well, in some cases
- 39:11Speaker 3: with some of the processed foods, they might.
- 39:12Speaker 10: Be okay, right, And at unity sister's farms, we have
- 39:16Speaker 10: chickens and eggs. So now are my kids and other
- 39:20Speaker 10: kids can see that eds come from actually chickens and
- 39:24Speaker 10: not the store.
- 39:25Speaker 7: Right.
- 39:25Speaker 3: Talk about you because your mom and you just mentioned
- 39:27Speaker 3: about your kids. Talk about the messages that you try
- 39:31Speaker 3: to impart in them on how on why this is
- 39:33Speaker 3: so important?
- 39:34Speaker 10: Yes, So my youngest is two years old, so she
- 39:37Speaker 10: started in us eating fresh vegetables from the garden. So
- 39:41Speaker 10: that was really important for me to teach her basically
- 39:43Speaker 10: where it's coming from, that it's fresh, and that her
- 39:48Speaker 10: mom is basically teaching her these values that have seemed
- 39:52Speaker 10: like they disappeared a little bit with technology. Everything's so fast,
- 39:58Speaker 10: I feel like we have to teach kids how to
- 40:00Speaker 10: be patient and to grow.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Indeed, and this event is going to be at four
- 40:05Speaker 3: thirty this afternoon, right and it's absolutely free of charge.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Who are you hoping it shows up to this?
- 40:11Speaker 15: We hope that it's just everyday people. We hope it's
- 40:14Speaker 15: the mom, it's the dad. We hope maybe they bring
- 40:17Speaker 15: their kids if they can, so that they can all experience.
- 40:19Speaker 15: We want families to come so they can know that
- 40:21Speaker 15: this is a tatable This is not a thing that's
- 40:23Speaker 15: out of reach. You don't have to have a green thumb.
- 40:25Speaker 15: You just have to be willing to try. You have
- 40:27Speaker 15: to be willing to just take the chance in know
- 40:30Speaker 15: that you may or may not grow the thing, because
- 40:33Speaker 15: that's the way nature works. But we're here to give
- 40:35Speaker 15: you the tools to give you the best chance.
- 40:37Speaker 3: And then when I talk to a lot of folks
- 40:40Speaker 3: that do this sort of thing, and there's a certain
- 40:42Speaker 3: kind of I guess, pride in that, no matter what
- 40:46Speaker 3: your age is, is like, hey, I grew that. What
- 40:49Speaker 3: we're eating for dinner when I'm snacking on, I grew that.
- 40:52Speaker 3: And I've seen and I've talked to people like Darrell Miller,
- 40:57Speaker 3: for example, I've talked to him several times on the
- 40:58Speaker 3: air about things like that. Brought that up about there's
- 41:01Speaker 3: just something about that when that light bulb goes off
- 41:05Speaker 3: and they realized it didn't come from a device, it
- 41:07Speaker 3: didn't come you didn't into comfort that I actually grew that.
- 41:10Speaker 3: I did the work and that's mine. There's a kind
- 41:14Speaker 3: of a pride that comes from that shmir There.
- 41:15Speaker 15: Is a sense of empowerment really to know that you
- 41:18Speaker 15: have that control, that level of control in your life
- 41:21Speaker 15: and you have that ability to sustain yourself or to
- 41:24Speaker 15: provide something that's beneficial for you or your family. When
- 41:27Speaker 15: you put something to the ground, a seat in the ground,
- 41:29Speaker 15: you watch that thing grow, you tend to it, you
- 41:31Speaker 15: harvest it, you cook it, you put on the plate
- 41:33Speaker 15: and you eat it. There's something that's like so magical amount.
- 41:37Speaker 3: And then you want to go do it again. Yeah again,
- 41:39Speaker 3: And I can I can grow those cucumbers bigger, I.
- 41:41Speaker 7: Can taste better.
- 41:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it's better for you, and so it's a lot
- 41:45Speaker 3: better for you. It's a lot better for you. The
- 41:46Speaker 3: event is at four thirty this afternoon. Again, it's at
- 41:49Speaker 3: four to twelve Elizabeth Straight that's the y w C

- 45:09Speaker 3: in part by Live Healthy West Virginia, presented by WVU Medicine,
- 45:12Speaker 3: a podcast promoting healthier lifestyles and beyond the State. Check

- 45:19Speaker 3: text says a friend made forty eight thousand dollars in
- 45:21Speaker 3: twenty twenty four in the State Historic Preservation Office, twelve
- 45:24Speaker 3: months masters and fifteen or fifteen or twenty years of service,
- 45:29Speaker 3: and they want to pay fifty thousand dollars to bachelor
- 45:32Speaker 3: teachers for nine months. As a Texter, Texas I told
- 45:37Speaker 3: my history students that their religion or lack of it,
- 45:40Speaker 3: was irrelevant in studying the colonial period because they believed
- 45:43Speaker 3: and that belief influenced their actions and the founding documents.
- 45:48Speaker 3: They believe then, and that doesn't change two hundred and
- 45:51Speaker 3: fifty years later, says a Tanxster, Texas Day. The eighth
- 45:57Speaker 3: and Bible wasn't part of my family's history in the US,
- 46:01Speaker 3: and we've been here for four hundred years. How about
- 46:03Speaker 3: the Jerusalem Bible or the Torah or the Quran. The
- 46:06Speaker 3: government needs to stop pushing their religious history into our children.
- 46:10Speaker 3: They can teach whatever Bible they want after school. My
- 46:13Speaker 3: Jewish friends went to Hebrews School after school. They even
- 46:16Speaker 3: paid for their own buses. Nothing is stopping our religious
- 46:18Speaker 3: friends from doing the same. Heck, there are enough churches
- 46:21Speaker 3: around every school in America and plenty of private religious
- 46:24Speaker 3: schools where they can teach the aking Bible if they choose.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Just stop legislating it for all our children. Focus on
- 46:30Speaker 3: funding and maybe we could afford to have every book
- 46:32Speaker 3: in our classrooms and school libraries. I mean, when people
- 46:35Speaker 3: are trying to ban books by Tony Morrison in our schools,
- 46:37Speaker 3: there is no constitutional reason to dictate we have Bibles
- 46:41Speaker 3: in our classrooms, and for an educator who claims to
- 46:43Speaker 3: teach history, she really doesn't understand our own say as
- 46:46Speaker 3: a texture, Texas stopped the culture Wars Texas. West Virginia
- 46:53Speaker 3: has more than eighteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty teachers
- 46:57Speaker 3: in the state. Senunder Grady just won in nineteen years
- 47:00Speaker 3: as a teacher. Ain't that impressive? Should shouldn't she be
- 47:03Speaker 3: at school teaching this morning. I don't think we pay
- 47:05Speaker 3: her a campaign on the radio. Okay, A couple things here.
- 47:07Speaker 3: Number One, Senator Grady is a state senator and she
- 47:12Speaker 3: is right down the street from the Capitol where she's
- 47:14Speaker 3: heading as soon as she leaves here. That's why we
- 47:16Speaker 3: had to have her out of here, so she's on
- 47:17Speaker 3: leave from school to be able to do it. Number Two,
- 47:20Speaker 3: she wasn't campaigning at all. Number three, it is a
- 47:24Speaker 3: remote learning day in all fifty. I'm presuming it is
- 47:27Speaker 3: in Mason County because it is everywhere else. So just
- 47:30Speaker 3: make sure we get that. Make that taken care of
- 47:34Speaker 3: Texas TWU tars Capito and Grady on this week. How
- 47:36Speaker 3: about a little balanced from the other side of the
- 47:38Speaker 3: aisle and other counties than Putnam.
- 47:41Speaker 17: Well.
- 47:41Speaker 3: Senator Capito has not been on the show this week.
- 47:45Speaker 3: Eric Tarr has Travis Tar's brother, has Senator Grady have
- 47:48Speaker 3: been on. I've been ever since I started doing the show,
- 47:51Speaker 3: going back I started in May of twenty twenty doing
- 47:54Speaker 3: this show. I've never turned down anybody to be on
- 47:58Speaker 3: this show, and I appreciate the text. But I have
- 48:00Speaker 3: also had people that screaming, holy, you know what, the
- 48:06Speaker 3: fact that I have so many Democrats on the show.
- 48:09Speaker 3: So I guess you just can't please everybody. But this
- 48:14Speaker 3: show has always been an open for him, for anybody.
- 48:18Speaker 3: There have been people who have criticized me for having
- 48:22Speaker 3: people like Don Blankenship on the show. Mister Blankenship is
- 48:25Speaker 3: always welcome on the show. There have been people that
- 48:27Speaker 3: have criticized me for having Greg Thomas on the show,
- 48:29Speaker 3: that for having Mike Pushkin on the show. So it's
- 48:32Speaker 3: open for him here.
- 48:33Speaker 14: Man.
- 48:33Speaker 3: The only bad thing about this show is the host.
- 48:36Speaker 3: All Right. Texts is uh prayers for coaching legend West
- 48:45Speaker 3: Virginia native and one of the last god fearing true
- 48:47Speaker 3: gentleman Lou Holtz, who was admitted the hospice Carreity yesterday,
- 48:51Speaker 3: I did not know that. I appreciate the text Texas
- 48:55Speaker 3: Winfield Youth sounds like Coach Aker's and Logan's program back
- 48:58Speaker 3: in the day. Text says you're such a great sport.
- 49:01Speaker 3: Question mark Dave Allen for governor. No no, no, no, no, no,
- 49:06Speaker 3: no no no. Appreciate it though texts. By the way,
- 49:11Speaker 3: that text came for the person that was criticizing me,
- 49:12Speaker 3: And that's what I love about this show. That's one
- 49:15Speaker 3: of the things I love about that and my listeners
- 49:17Speaker 3: after this person and when you text the show, I
- 49:19Speaker 3: have no idea who they are. They text the show
- 49:22Speaker 3: and they criticized me for something, then they say you're
- 49:24Speaker 3: such a good sport and they want to vote for
- 49:25Speaker 3: me for governor. I love that. Appreciate the text, and
- 49:28Speaker 3: truly appreciate all of the textures to the show here,
- 49:31Speaker 3: except for the one yesterday on Metro News Midday who
- 49:33Speaker 3: referred to me as a moron because I said that
- 49:36Speaker 3: it was going to get colder this weekend and then
- 49:38Speaker 3: called me to task to say that it was going
- 49:41Speaker 3: to get warmer this weekend, when in fact, Saturday tomorrow
- 49:44Speaker 3: is going to be the coldest day of the year.
- 49:46Speaker 11: So far.
