- 4:50Speaker 6: You know, if you can imagine it, it's gonna be there.
- 4:52Speaker 6: I mean, you guys have done this.
- 4:54Speaker 3: How many years have you done this? This is just
- 4:56Speaker 3: our second second year, okay, because I remember I think
- 4:58Speaker 3: sometimes I was because you also do the water Festival
- 5:01Speaker 3: over there too, and we were over there for that
- 5:03Speaker 3: last year. That was certainly a great turnout as well.
- 5:06Speaker 3: This is a great event to bring the kids, and
- 5:09Speaker 3: it's really it's not it's not that expensive.
- 5:12Speaker 6: No, it's ten dollars. Now everyone that enters, including the parents,
- 5:16Speaker 6: have to pay the ten dollars, but it's just ten
- 5:18Speaker 6: dollars to enter, and it's play all day from twelve
- 5:20Speaker 6: to seven. We will have food trucks and Ladyfield will
- 5:23Speaker 6: have their concession stand open, so we're gonna have plenty
- 5:25Speaker 6: of food options this year. Food trucks is new. We're
- 5:28Speaker 6: gonna have barbecue, tacos, cheesecake, all that good stuff, so
- 5:32Speaker 6: that's something new new this year too. We're gonna be
- 5:35Speaker 6: doing an egg hunt at one pm. We'll have prizes
- 5:40Speaker 6: in the eggs, candy and the eggs. A one egg
- 5:42Speaker 6: will actually have five hundred dollars in cash inside, so
- 5:45Speaker 6: one lucky person who's gonna walk away a big winter
- 5:48Speaker 6: On Saturday, suggest that the parents bring blankets and chairs
- 5:52Speaker 6: to sit out on the turf to watch your kids play.
- 5:55Speaker 6: Quantum Party Renolds is rolling out some of its newest
- 5:58Speaker 6: gear to show off to the community what we have.
- 6:02Speaker 6: Quantum Sports will be giving away birthday parties to the
- 6:05Speaker 6: indoor center. Coldwell Insurance and PoCA Valley Bank or two
- 6:09Speaker 6: of our biggest sponsors for the event. So we're super
- 6:11Speaker 6: excited to get everybody out on Saturday. And the weather
- 6:13Speaker 6: looks fabulous. I mean, yeah, you couldn't ask for better weather.
- 6:17Speaker 6: It looks like we're gonna have some rain maybe Saturday
- 6:19Speaker 6: into Monday. I mean, I'm sorry Sunday into Monday.
- 6:21Speaker 3: But Saturday it's picture perfect for an event like this,
- 6:23Speaker 3: the time to get the shorts back, especially after the
- 6:25Speaker 3: winter earon that we've had. I mean, I think that
- 6:27Speaker 3: people are gonna want to get outside.
- 6:30Speaker 6: Yep, I think so too. You know last year the
- 6:32Speaker 6: line went down the street around the corner, around the
- 6:35Speaker 6: back side of the field, so you know, I suggest
- 6:37Speaker 6: if you're gonna come, you might want to go and
- 6:39Speaker 6: pre purchase tickets. That way you can just walk through,
- 6:42Speaker 6: scan your phone and not have to wait in that
- 6:44Speaker 6: long line to purchase your ticket.
- 6:46Speaker 3: And how do people prepurchase their tickets.
- 6:49Speaker 6: There's a couple of ways you can get to our
- 6:50Speaker 6: Facebook page Easter Extravaganza and click on the event and
- 6:53Speaker 6: the link for the tickets is on there. Or you
- 6:55Speaker 6: can go to our sponsor page, Quantum Party Rentals dot
- 6:59Speaker 6: Com on events and you'll see the Easter event there,
- 7:02Speaker 6: and the link for the tickets is also on that
- 7:05Speaker 6: page along with all the information about the event.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And again the price to get in is ten dollars.
- 7:11Speaker 3: But that's all day, and so if the family comes in,
- 7:15Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to entertain these kids in beautiful
- 7:19Speaker 3: weather all day and stuff for the parents too. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 6: The Ladyfield actually will have a beer ten available, So
- 7:26Speaker 6: if the parents want to enjoy a nice ice cold beer,
- 7:28Speaker 6: you know, while it's hot, more power to them. The
- 7:33Speaker 6: only extra money you need to bring for the rides
- 7:35Speaker 6: is for food. There's no charge for any of the
- 7:37Speaker 6: rides once you enter. Everything is included in just the
- 7:41Speaker 6: ten dollars entry fee.
- 7:42Speaker 3: We got a text here somebody said, what is the
- 7:45Speaker 3: age for the five hundred dollars hunt?
- 7:47Speaker 6: Zero to eighteen?
- 7:48Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because we don't want we don't want forty
- 7:51Speaker 3: five year old guys out they're pushing kids over anything
- 7:53Speaker 3: like that. That would be bad, all right, so it's
- 7:56Speaker 3: up to eighteen yep for the five hundred dollars hunt.
- 8:00Speaker 3: And again, this is an all day event in a
- 8:03Speaker 3: in a great facility, and the folks at ladley Field
- 8:05Speaker 3: have been really good to I mean I would imagine
- 8:08Speaker 3: to work with over the years, and it's kind of
- 8:10Speaker 3: you know when there's not a whole sometimes there's not
- 8:13Speaker 3: a whole lot that goes on there during the off season.
- 8:15Speaker 3: But it's a great event. I know with the water
- 8:17Speaker 3: Festival last year, it's it's a great it's a great
- 8:19Speaker 3: place to have an event like this.
- 8:21Speaker 6: Yep, it is awesome. It's it's great for the parents
- 8:24Speaker 6: to get out with the whole family, you know, bring
- 8:27Speaker 6: blankets and lawn chairs to sit out on the turf
- 8:30Speaker 6: and just relax for the day and let your kid

- 16:19Speaker 3: is your home with the West Virginia Vietnam War Memorial Wall.
- 16:23Speaker 3: The West Virginia Vietnam Veterans of America annual event is
- 16:26Speaker 3: designed to honor and to welcome home Vietnam veterans. It's
- 16:30Speaker 3: opened all veterans, though, and Joe Stevens from the city
- 16:33Speaker 3: of Nitro joins us to talk about it. Joseph, good morning,
- 16:36Speaker 3: welcome to the show.
- 16:38Speaker 5: Thank you, Dave. And by the way, before I forget
- 16:40Speaker 5: he hats off to you and Amanda Baron midday. It
- 16:44Speaker 5: has really picked up. It gives me a reason to
- 16:47Speaker 5: listen to the radio from twelve to three.
- 16:49Speaker 3: You'd be surprised that the number of people that have
- 16:52Speaker 3: said that. And look, I'm not hating on what we
- 16:56Speaker 3: had in that time slot before. Everybody likes what they like,
- 16:59Speaker 3: and that's when of the great things about America. But
- 17:02Speaker 3: We've had a number of texts and I've had phone
- 17:04Speaker 3: calls and emails for people that have said I can
- 17:06Speaker 3: turn the radio back on again and again, and there's
- 17:08Speaker 3: there have been people that weren't exactly happy with the decision,
- 17:11Speaker 3: to be fair, but so far it's all been positive.
- 17:14Speaker 3: I do appreciate your kind words. You're somebody that's uh
- 17:17Speaker 3: uh that your opinion holds a lot of weight with
- 17:20Speaker 3: me because you've been in in the radio business yourself
- 17:23Speaker 3: for a long time, and I appreciate I always always
- 17:26Speaker 3: like to know what's on Joe Stephens's mind, So I
- 17:27Speaker 3: appreciate that, and I know what's go.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Ahead, go ahead, No, I was just going to say,
- 17:32Speaker 5: would you pass that thought off to my wife too?
- 17:34Speaker 5: About that about my opinion that you like and I appreciate.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Well, I'm one hundred percent know how that goes. Before
- 17:43Speaker 3: I get to talking to you, Joe about why you're
- 17:45Speaker 3: actually here today. You know, it's opening day, man, so
- 17:49Speaker 3: we got to start. I'm gonna ahead and get it
- 17:51Speaker 3: out of the way now we're talking about opening about
- 17:55Speaker 3: opening day, uh for the Cincinnati Reds and and and
- 17:59Speaker 3: all most of the other Major league teams. What are
- 18:01Speaker 3: you excited. I know you're a Baltimore Orioles fan. What
- 18:03Speaker 3: are you excited about?
- 18:04Speaker 5: Man opening Day? It's uh, it's it's a right of spring.
- 18:09Speaker 5: It's all I can say is and believe me, I
- 18:12Speaker 5: know that they've already played games in Japan. Yeah, but
- 18:15Speaker 5: I know that everybody is playing games today. I wish
- 18:18Speaker 5: that they'd go back to the concept of having Cincinnati
- 18:23Speaker 5: play the opening game of Major League Baseball, But nonetheless,
- 18:27Speaker 5: it's a right of spring. It's opening Day. Everybody except
- 18:31Speaker 5: for the Dodgers and the Podgraves, I guess, are tied
- 18:34Speaker 5: for first place with zero and zero marks and we
- 18:37Speaker 5: go forward to here it until October November.
- 18:39Speaker 3: So what about your team, the O's how do they
- 18:41Speaker 3: look this season?
- 18:43Speaker 5: Well, to be determined, right when when you.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Take when you take a big pause like that, that
- 18:51Speaker 3: that tells me something. It's like when when Yeah, it's
- 18:54Speaker 3: kind of like with the reds Man when when people
- 18:56Speaker 3: say what do you think about the season, you take that. Well,
- 19:01Speaker 3: so that's your thoughts on your team? The Orioles, right, yes, exactly.
- 19:06Speaker 5: I think they're going to make the playoffs. How far
- 19:09Speaker 5: they go in the playoffs, They've got a ten game
- 19:12Speaker 5: I think losing streak in the playoffs right now, it
- 19:15Speaker 5: dates back to two thousand and sixteen or before that,
- 19:20Speaker 5: twenty fourteen against Kansas City. So it's a wait and
- 19:24Speaker 5: see again. We're O and O. We play in Toronto today,
- 19:27Speaker 5: Let's go O's all.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Right, and I'm going to talk a little bit more
- 19:30Speaker 3: baseball on this opening day. And I'm kind of like Joe.
- 19:32Speaker 3: I know that there's already been games played in Tokyo,
- 19:34Speaker 3: but to me, it's not Opening Day until it's actually
- 19:37Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. The Reds don't play till this afternoon, late
- 19:39Speaker 3: this afternoon, as a matter of fact. But Jeff Jenkins
- 19:42Speaker 3: is going to join us, maybe Dale Cooper too, to
- 19:44Speaker 3: talk about some Reds baseball a little bit later on
- 19:46Speaker 3: the show. All Right, so you and I can talk
- 19:48Speaker 3: about baseball all day. Let's talk about what's going on
- 19:51Speaker 3: with the city of Nitro on Sunday for this event
- 19:55Speaker 3: that is designed as a welcome home.
- 19:57Speaker 5: Talk about it well a couple last year. This is
- 20:02Speaker 5: the second year that we've had this event. The event
- 20:04Speaker 5: had been previously been conducted at the state Capitol. Some
- 20:09Speaker 5: things happened and the Vietnam Vents Organization contacted us here
- 20:15Speaker 5: at Nitro and said, hey, we would like to bring
- 20:19Speaker 5: this annual event to the city of Nitro. You know
- 20:22Speaker 5: what it takes to take care of veterans and everything,
- 20:26Speaker 5: and we were more than happy to step up. And
- 20:28Speaker 5: there'll be The event will be this Sunday, which is
- 20:31Speaker 5: March the thirtieth, and it'll be happening in the Living
- 20:35Speaker 5: Memorial Park at Second Avenue and twenty first Street here
- 20:39Speaker 5: in Nitro. It's an annual event celebrating or I say celebrating,
- 20:45Speaker 5: but just saying thank you for when they came home.
- 20:49Speaker 5: The actual day of landing and bringing everybody home from
- 20:54Speaker 5: Vietnam was March to twenty ninth, but the folks here
- 20:57Speaker 5: with the West Virginia Vietnam Chapter does the observation and
- 21:02Speaker 5: observes the day on the thirtieth. Like you said, David,
- 21:06Speaker 5: it's about the Vietnam veterans, but all veterans are welcome
- 21:10Speaker 5: because not only will we have some speakers and we
- 21:12Speaker 5: can get into that in a second, but we will
- 21:14Speaker 5: have a lot of the Veteran administration folks here with displays,
- 21:19Speaker 5: answering information and just making it a day of information,
- 21:25Speaker 5: day of saying thank you.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Indeed, We're talking to Joe Stevens from the City of
- 21:29Speaker 3: Nitro about this event. As he said that is open
- 21:32Speaker 3: to all veterans. Are kind of focusing on Vietnam veterans,
- 21:35Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter when you serve. As long as
- 21:37Speaker 3: you served, you're welcome to come to the event, you
- 21:39Speaker 3: and your family. The Dave Alan Show on five DY
- 21:41Speaker 3: Live is brought to you part by Morgan and Morgan
- 21:43Speaker 3: with more than twenty billion dollars recovered. They believe that
- 21:46Speaker 3: when you're injured, you deserve more. Morgan and Morgan America's
- 21:48Speaker 3: largest injury law firm. Let's talk about some of those
- 21:51Speaker 3: speakers and some of the other things going on as
- 21:52Speaker 3: part of this event.
- 21:53Speaker 5: Joe, Well, the main speaker, and he has been for
- 21:58Speaker 5: the last couple of years, will be Cecil Roberts, who
- 22:02Speaker 5: just recently announced that he will be retiring as president
- 22:06Speaker 5: of the United Mine Workers Association. That will be happening
- 22:09Speaker 5: in October. But Cecil is a veteran of Vietnam and
- 22:14Speaker 5: he will be the keynote speaker, and that will be
- 22:16Speaker 5: happening around one point thirty. Everything really gets underway at
- 22:20Speaker 5: about eleven o'clock. Another speaker will be the new Veterans
- 22:24Speaker 5: Administration Secretary in West Virginia. He will be joining us,
- 22:30Speaker 5: and there'll be some other speakers with the various chapters
- 22:34Speaker 5: from around the state and and that sort of thing.
- 22:37Speaker 5: Dave also, Hey, if you want a hot dog, come
- 22:40Speaker 5: on by. There'll be free hot dogs. So you know,
- 22:42Speaker 5: foods near and dear to your heart in my heart,
- 22:45Speaker 5: but that will be happening. It's just a day to
- 22:49Speaker 5: commemorate a portion of this country's history that sometimes people forget.
- 22:56Speaker 3: You're exactly right. One of the things, Joe, that I
- 22:59Speaker 3: like about when when you folks in Nitro do these
- 23:02Speaker 3: sorts of events is that it's not only there's a
- 23:05Speaker 3: lot that goes into it. And you mentioned that the
- 23:07Speaker 3: cecil Roberts will be there and there's some other guest speakers,
- 23:10Speaker 3: and that's all great, but there's also a lot of
- 23:12Speaker 3: information that is disseminated there and sometimes whether our veterans
- 23:17Speaker 3: there are services and whatnot available that they may not
- 23:21Speaker 3: know about. And that's one of the things I like
- 23:22Speaker 3: about how the city of Nitro does these events is
- 23:25Speaker 3: that you give the opportunity for folks to learn a
- 23:28Speaker 3: little something while they're there as well.
- 23:32Speaker 5: It's important that people have a resource to be able
- 23:35Speaker 5: to find out information. A lot of times they'll go
- 23:38Speaker 5: online and not be able to get the information that
- 23:41Speaker 5: they can that they need, and a face to face
- 23:45Speaker 5: conversation about a situation that they're facing works a lot better.
- 23:51Speaker 5: And that's what we try to provide them, a face
- 23:53Speaker 5: to face, a name, a person that they can relate
- 23:56Speaker 5: to and get the information that they need. One thing
- 23:59Speaker 5: I want I want to remind everybody that the Nitrohistory
- 24:02Speaker 5: and Wars Museum, which has a special section about the
- 24:05Speaker 5: Vietnam conflict, that will be open on Sunday also during
- 24:09Speaker 5: this event, and it's right around the corner from where
- 24:12Speaker 5: all the festivities will be going on.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Talking to Joe Stevens again from the City of Nitro
- 24:17Speaker 3: about this event going on Sunday. There but Dave Valid
- 24:20Speaker 3: Show and five a D Live brought to you in
- 24:21Speaker 3: part by Bridge Valley offering custom Taylor trainings to supply
- 24:24Speaker 3: skilled graduates and apprenticeships for your company. Visit Bridge Valley
- 24:28Speaker 3: dot edu and there are a lot of different services
- 24:30Speaker 3: that are available. Sometimes I think, Joe, when we think
- 24:32Speaker 3: about services for veterans, we only think about, you know,
- 24:35Speaker 3: when they have issues or problems, and that's certainly very
- 24:38Speaker 3: important and that happens often, but there's a lot of
- 24:40Speaker 3: other services and a lot of other programs that maybe
- 24:43Speaker 3: sometimes people just aren't aware of and maybe the family
- 24:46Speaker 3: members And this is something too. I have always said
- 24:50Speaker 3: that if my interview that I did last week with
- 24:53Speaker 3: the first female chief of Detectives for the Knaw County
- 24:57Speaker 3: Sheriff's Department, I brought that up with her, is that
- 25:00Speaker 3: when you are serving in the emergency services field or
- 25:04Speaker 3: you're serving in the military, the entire family is serving
- 25:07Speaker 3: along with you, and so sometimes the family members need
- 25:12Speaker 3: this information just as much as the veterans do. And Joe,
- 25:16Speaker 3: I think you would agree.
- 25:17Speaker 5: With that well without a doubt, especially if you're a caregiver.
- 25:22Speaker 5: We've got information for if you are a caregiver of
- 25:25Speaker 5: a veteran that will be there. But you know, we
- 25:28Speaker 5: talk about that this is highlighting the Vietnam conflict, but
- 25:32Speaker 5: any veteran can come and get this information, and a
- 25:34Speaker 5: lot of times they don't know that they have services
- 25:38Speaker 5: available to them fie. Mortgages, education, et cetera. And they
- 25:43Speaker 5: can come and get that information. And again, I look,
- 25:46Speaker 5: what we like about it is you're talking to a
- 25:49Speaker 5: person face to face.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Indeed, OK, so give us the information on the event.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Where can people learn more on your social media? Just
- 25:59Speaker 3: to kind of to give us an overview of everything again,
- 26:01Speaker 3: Joe again.
- 26:03Speaker 5: It'll be happening. This is an annual event. It's the
- 26:08Speaker 5: Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day, and it will be happening
- 26:12Speaker 5: Sunday this Sunday, March the thirtieth, and it will get
- 26:15Speaker 5: getting underway around eleven o'clock or so. The information boost
- 26:19Speaker 5: will be probably setting up around ten o'clock. And it's
- 26:21Speaker 5: right there at Living Memorial Park. It's right on Second
- 26:24Speaker 5: Avenue in Nitro, and you can just come down Route
- 26:27Speaker 5: twenty five, turn up twenty first Street one block in
- 26:31Speaker 5: and you'll see everything happening right there at the Living
- 26:34Speaker 5: Memorial Park. Cecil Roberts, the keynote speaker, is expected to
- 26:39Speaker 5: talk about one thirty or so, and the event will
- 26:42Speaker 5: continue with the information boosts up until two to thirty
- 26:46Speaker 5: somewhere around those days.
- 26:48Speaker 3: How's the weather looking for Sunday? I mean, do we
- 26:51Speaker 3: have I'm looking at the forecaster about a sixty percent
- 26:53Speaker 3: chance of rain, but I'm not sure when that's supposed
- 26:57Speaker 3: to happen, I think primarily late at night.
- 26:58Speaker 5: Is that was that?
- 26:59Speaker 3: I know you can keep an odd at Joe. Is
- 27:00Speaker 3: that is that the way you see it?
- 27:03Speaker 5: That's that's what we're looking at right now. Just talking
- 27:07Speaker 5: to Spencer Atkins at WWK, he is looking at it
- 27:12Speaker 5: for us, and he's saying it's going to be pushing
- 27:15Speaker 5: into the latter part of the evening. So keeping our
- 27:18Speaker 5: fingers crossed and hopefully everything will be fine. If we
- 27:22Speaker 5: have to move it indoors, we'll move it into the museum.
- 27:25Speaker 5: But yeah, that you know, right now, we're planning on
- 27:28Speaker 5: having everything outside for people to be able to get information.
- 27:31Speaker 5: And another big thing about this is the fellowship that
- 27:36Speaker 5: goes on between the brothers that serve.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and you've heard me talk about my late father,
- 27:43Speaker 3: who was a Vietnam veteran who passed away because of
- 27:46Speaker 3: Agent Orange, and you know he I think sometimes that
- 27:50Speaker 3: he and other veterans felt like that nobody would really
- 27:52Speaker 3: understand them. I mean I certainly did, and I didn't serve,
- 27:55Speaker 3: so I certainly couldn't understand what he was talking about.
- 27:57Speaker 3: But sometimes when you get them with people that go,
- 28:00Speaker 3: you know, hey, brother, hey, sister, I was right there
- 28:02Speaker 3: with you. I know what you went through. And even
- 28:04Speaker 3: if they're not just Vietnam, I mean, like you said,
- 28:06Speaker 3: there's a brotherhood sisterhood that comes with serving in the military,
- 28:11Speaker 3: and it sometimes it doesn't matter whether you served in
- 28:14Speaker 3: wartime or peacetime. There's something that those folks do that
- 28:20Speaker 3: no one else that civilians like myself will never understand.
- 28:23Speaker 3: So sometimes getting people linked up with people that just
- 28:26Speaker 3: if nothing else, to put an arm around them and go, hey,
- 28:29Speaker 3: I've been there, I know what you're going through. It's
- 28:30Speaker 3: very important as well.
- 28:31Speaker 5: Joe, without a doubt, and I had three brothers who served,
- 28:35Speaker 5: two in the Navy and one in the Air Force,
- 28:38Speaker 5: and to see them collaborate and to share their feelings,
- 28:43Speaker 5: it's pretty special, it really is. And we'll see a
- 28:47Speaker 5: lot of that on Sunday.
- 28:48Speaker 3: All right, Hey, I appreciate your listening. I appreciate you
- 28:53Speaker 3: calling in. I said, well, I guess you were listening
- 28:54Speaker 3: as well as you're listening to me. Best of luck
- 28:57Speaker 3: to your team, the Baltimore Orioles, that is, until they
- 29:01Speaker 3: played the Cincinnati Rations we played this season. I mean,
- 29:03Speaker 3: with this whole interleague. I'm an old school guy, and
- 29:06Speaker 3: I don't really like this Interleague Blaze stuff. But it's
- 29:08Speaker 3: it's not going anywhere. It's been around for decades now,
- 29:11Speaker 3: I guess or whatever. But the Reds and the O's
- 29:13Speaker 3: play this year.
- 29:15Speaker 5: I did not really look at the schedule that closed.
- 29:17Speaker 5: I looked at opening day. We're playing Toronto and then
- 29:20Speaker 5: we go to Baltimore and open up against at home
- 29:24Speaker 5: against Boston. Other than that, let's just keep it going.
- 29:27Speaker 5: And I leave you with the parting thought of.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Let's go all right, Joe Stevens, we'll see a Sunday
- 29:35Speaker 3: in Nitro, my friend, we'll talk soon. Buddy thinks a lot.
- 29:38Speaker 5: Hey, you'd be safe, all right.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Joe Stevens from the city of Nitro. And again those
- 29:42Speaker 3: events happening in the city of Nitro, And I said,
- 29:45Speaker 3: you know, all West Virginia has had more, has lost
- 29:49Speaker 3: more people per capita than any other state in the nation.
- 29:52Speaker 3: And we also, I think have the most numbers served
- 29:56Speaker 3: per capita too. And when West Virginians have to, they
- 30:00Speaker 3: have answered the call of duty. And so all of
- 30:03Speaker 3: our cities around the city of West Virginia do a
- 30:05Speaker 3: great job of reaching out and honoring our veterans. But
- 30:09Speaker 3: I think Nitro because Nitro is a city, and you've
- 30:11Speaker 3: heard Joe and I talk about it in there. Nitro
- 30:13Speaker 3: is a city that was actually born out of the
- 30:15Speaker 3: war effort, and so I think that they they probably
- 30:18Speaker 3: go they take it one step further, and I think
- 30:20Speaker 3: most folks would agree with that. Bigley Pickley Wiggly Hotline

- 33:37Speaker 3: April eighteenth through the twentieth, and by the way, WSAZ
- 33:41Speaker 3: will be broadcasting today's home opener. Still prefer radio, but
- 33:44Speaker 3: glad to see some Reds games will be on local
- 33:46Speaker 3: TV again. I don't know what that's on the main
- 33:49Speaker 3: channel I see, is it okay opener? The opener is
- 33:53Speaker 3: on the main channel. They're going to the gray television
- 33:56Speaker 3: stations are going to do like nine games. I think,
- 34:00Speaker 3: okay for.
- 34:00Speaker 12: The whole season, so I think the others might be
- 34:02Speaker 12: on the seat w but at least the opener.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Okay is on w SEZ. What what's television anyway? I
- 34:09Speaker 3: mean that's they're designed for radio. Listen to the opener
- 34:15Speaker 3: on our sister's day. Someone in six seven FM and
- 34:17Speaker 3: fourteen ninety you know. And j this is by the way,
- 34:19Speaker 3: this is Jeff Jenkins and Jeff and I both both
- 34:22Speaker 3: rocking the Reds gear today for Opening Day. You know,
- 34:25Speaker 3: some of my not to be too sappy here, Jeff,
- 34:28Speaker 3: but some of my greatest memories are of listening to
- 34:31Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Reds on radio with my grandfather. And I
- 34:34Speaker 3: may have told this story in your past what I've
- 34:35Speaker 3: had you on. He loved to go out in the garage,
- 34:39Speaker 3: turn on the radio on WVW and logan and listen
- 34:42Speaker 3: to the Now you may have been to get away
- 34:44Speaker 3: from my grandmother. I'm not sure. I don't know if
- 34:45Speaker 3: he's that big of a baseball fan or not, but
- 34:47Speaker 3: to me, listening to the and and you know, the
- 34:52Speaker 3: guys who do the Reds games now do a fantastic job.
- 34:55Speaker 3: But I think that when they would admit there was
- 34:56Speaker 3: only one Marty and Joe, right, yeah, I agree with you.
- 34:58Speaker 3: And there's just something about those And with Bob Uker
- 35:02Speaker 3: passing away recently, we're losing that generation of those type
- 35:07Speaker 3: of and you know Ken Harrelson in Chicago and those
- 35:09Speaker 3: type of guys that h that you know that we're
- 35:14Speaker 3: larger than life and just as big a part of
- 35:16Speaker 3: the team as what the starting pitcher was. And but
- 35:19Speaker 3: all right, so So the Reds open up against the
- 35:22Speaker 3: Orioles again. As Jeff said, coverage of this afternoon will
- 35:24Speaker 3: be on our soitized station. I'm sorry, the Giants a
- 35:27Speaker 3: focus on Joe Stephenson. They're the Orioles. So we're still
- 35:31Speaker 3: in first place right now, We're still we're still undefeated,
- 35:33Speaker 3: that's right.
- 35:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 35:35Speaker 3: So overall, what do you expect out of the Reds?
- 35:37Speaker 12: Well, I think, I mean there's optimism because Terry Francone
- 35:40Speaker 12: is the new manager, right, hall of Fame. He'll be
- 35:43Speaker 12: a Hall of Fame manager. He's one three World Series.
- 35:46Speaker 12: He took a year off after managing Cleveland, uh and
- 35:49Speaker 12: the Reds went and got him, and uh so a
- 35:53Speaker 12: lot of people are excited about that. Their spring training
- 35:55Speaker 12: camp was they didn't you know, you just feel if
- 36:00Speaker 12: you read accounts of it, just with Tito that's what
- 36:03Speaker 12: his nickname is, Terry Francona. With him being in charge,
- 36:06Speaker 12: it was just a different kind of a different atmosphere. Now,
- 36:10Speaker 12: how many wins would that translate too? Well, A lot
- 36:12Speaker 12: of it's all about pitching. It's a lot about injuries.
- 36:14Speaker 12: So the Reds have had a few injuries already. The
- 36:19Speaker 12: closer Alexis Diaz has a hamstring injury. He did not
- 36:23Speaker 12: do well in spring training, so actually I think they
- 36:25Speaker 12: just want to give him a little more time to
- 36:27Speaker 12: get ready. Also, Austin Hayes, one of their off season signings,
- 36:33Speaker 12: has a little bit of a calf injury suffered right
- 36:38Speaker 12: at the end of spring training. So he's on the
- 36:40Speaker 12: DL and they think that he'll be on the DL
- 36:42Speaker 12: for They're hoping just six days. He'll miss six games,
- 36:45Speaker 12: ten days, he'll miss six games. Tyler Stevenson, the catcher,
- 36:49Speaker 12: is on the DL with an oblique injury. But the
- 36:52Speaker 12: Red signed a fantastic second catcher from the Yankees. That's uh,
- 37:00Speaker 12: that's gonna that's gonna catch a lot of games anyway.
- 37:03Speaker 12: And he's a former Gold Glover uh so so that
- 37:06Speaker 12: I think that'll be pretty He won't hit like Stevenson,
- 37:08Speaker 12: but that will be more than a just a regular
- 37:11Speaker 12: backup there for the reds.
- 37:13Speaker 13: Uh.
- 37:14Speaker 12: But it's all about, you know, does Matt McClain stay
- 37:17Speaker 12: healthy the second basement he was out all of last year?
- 37:19Speaker 14: Uh?
- 37:20Speaker 12: This L A L A D LA Cruz have just
- 37:22Speaker 12: a monster year, which I think is very much possible.
- 37:25Speaker 12: How does uh ce s uh? Christian in Karnasian Strand
- 37:31Speaker 12: come back after he was injured last year. So there's
- 37:33Speaker 12: there's question marks obviously, but they have good young pitching.
- 37:38Speaker 12: And they signed Brady Singer from the from Kansas City,
- 37:41Speaker 12: which is a innings Eeter type of pitcher and a
- 37:44Speaker 12: well established pitcher. He'll be one of the starters. Very pleased. Actually,
- 37:49Speaker 12: the two guys who are on the caravan here Blake Dunn,
- 37:52Speaker 12: an outfielder, and Carson Spyers, a pitcher who we were
- 37:56Speaker 12: teasing about going to the outdoor Show.
- 37:58Speaker 3: He was a character, he really was.
- 38:00Speaker 12: They both made the team. So Done made the team
- 38:03Speaker 12: as the as the fifth outfielder, and really Terry Francona
- 38:06Speaker 12: said yesterday that he forced his way onto the team
- 38:08Speaker 12: in a good way. He had such a good has
- 38:11Speaker 12: such a good spring, so so so Done made the team.
- 38:14Speaker 12: And also Spiders is the fifth starting pitcher in the
- 38:16Speaker 12: current rotation. Now he might change from that because Andrew
- 38:19Speaker 12: Abbott's injured and should be back pretty quickly, but we'll see.
- 38:23Speaker 12: But congratulations of those guys. But it's opening day and
- 38:25Speaker 12: I talked actually to the person who won the opening
- 38:30Speaker 12: day tickets at the caravan. Remember the Reds were given away.
- 38:32Speaker 12: So they talked to him day before yesterday. He's raring
- 38:36Speaker 12: to go, ready, fired up, on his way to Cincinnati.
- 38:39Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's kind of interesting because if there's
- 38:42Speaker 3: any bigger Reds fan in this building than what you are,
- 38:44Speaker 3: it's probably Brian Bradley. And Brian Bradley does a little
- 38:46Speaker 3: bit of everything around here. And and I ran in
- 38:49Speaker 3: to Wolfe as we called him, in the parking lot
- 38:50Speaker 3: yesterday and I asked him if he was gonna we
- 38:53Speaker 3: have some several live events this weekend with the stations.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Asked me if he's gonna be going out there. He
- 38:56Speaker 3: just sugar said and said, no, I'll be in Cincinnati.
- 39:00Speaker 3: He's going up of this weekend for the weekend series.
- 39:02Speaker 3: We had a text here we were talking about the announcers.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Somebody said, don't forget Harry Carey. Yeah, sure, Harry Carey.
- 39:08Speaker 3: What a character he was just just so many Phil
- 39:11Speaker 3: Rozzuto and so many of those guys, all right, And
- 39:13Speaker 3: you know we've I've been a part of the Reds
- 39:15Speaker 3: caravan at this station, and when I was in Logan
- 39:18Speaker 3: and they brought it down there and the only and
- 39:22Speaker 3: I mean they brought in when I was there. Dusty
- 39:25Speaker 3: Baker came one year, Eric Davis, the same ones that
- 39:27Speaker 3: came here one you're the only the only member of
- 39:30Speaker 3: the caravan I ever specifically asked to have my picture with.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Now there are pictures with me with Dusty and with
- 39:36Speaker 3: Eric and whatever. The only one I ever said, Jeff,
- 39:39Speaker 3: I got to get a picture with was Marty Brenneman.
- 39:41Speaker 3: That's the one, that's the one I want. He was
- 39:43Speaker 3: as nice as he could possibly be, interested in radios,
- 39:46Speaker 3: asking me all about the radio station. Just I miss Marty.
- 39:50Speaker 3: But he's still around. They're doing a statue for I know.
- 39:53Speaker 15: I saw that.
- 39:53Speaker 12: It's going to be unveiled in September, so he'll he'll
- 39:57Speaker 12: have an announcer statue outside there with the other statues.
- 40:00Speaker 12: Are Yeah, that outside Great American Ballpark.
- 40:03Speaker 3: That's good stuff.
- 40:04Speaker 15: All right.
- 40:04Speaker 3: I appreciate you being here. You've been a Reds fan,
- 40:07Speaker 3: I'm pretty I'm presuming all your life I have been. Yes, Yeah,
- 40:11Speaker 3: family members also Reds fans. Not really, No, my dad
- 40:14Speaker 3: was a Yankees fan, uh huh. And he grew up
- 40:16Speaker 3: here in Kanak County. But he was a Yankees fan,
- 40:19Speaker 3: and you know, listening to him on the radio when
- 40:22Speaker 3: he was growing up, and so he was, Yeah, he
- 40:24Speaker 3: was a Yankees fan.
- 40:25Speaker 12: My brother's a Reds fan. My brother's a Reds fan.
- 40:27Speaker 12: So we're both Reds fans. And one of my sons,
- 40:31Speaker 12: my older son's a Red fam my middle sons of
- 40:33Speaker 12: Pirates family.
- 40:34Speaker 14: Yes.
- 40:34Speaker 12: Oh, my youngest son's a Mets fan.
- 40:36Speaker 3: So so Thanksgiving, you don't talk about baseball with the
- 40:39Speaker 3: red And I think that's interesting. And I'll let you go, Jeff,
- 40:42Speaker 3: because I know you're busy, but I think that's interesting
- 40:44Speaker 3: in the state of West Virginia because southern West Virginia
- 40:47Speaker 3: when I was growing up, everybody pretty much was Reds fans.
- 40:50Speaker 3: But then you go north, a lot of Pirates fans north.
- 40:53Speaker 3: But then you go east and you got a lot
- 40:56Speaker 3: of O's fans out in the Panhandle. A lot of
- 40:58Speaker 3: Cleveland fans here, had a few in the building. And
- 41:01Speaker 3: then there's some that are the fans of those that
- 41:03Speaker 3: always pop, you know, the Yankees or the Dodgers or
- 41:06Speaker 3: not of race.
- 41:07Speaker 15: Lot of Braves.
- 41:07Speaker 12: Fans because you could see him on TV. It's the
- 41:10Speaker 12: only team you could see on TV.
- 41:11Speaker 3: They were pretty bad in those years too. I mean
- 41:13Speaker 3: I watched when you know Horner and Claudell Washington and
- 41:15Speaker 3: all the early they got a lot better that they
- 41:18Speaker 3: got better, but they weren't so good that And I
- 41:21Speaker 3: actually been Butler. Yeah, I actually married into a White
- 41:26Speaker 3: Sox family because my wife's family's from Chicago. And if
- 41:29Speaker 3: there's anything worse than being a Cowboys fan the last
- 41:31Speaker 3: couple of years, it may have been being a Chicago
- 41:33Speaker 3: White Sox fan. All Right, Jeff, I appreciate you man.
- 41:36Speaker 3: We'll talk again soon and go Red Go Reds. All right,
- 41:40Speaker 3: thanks a lot, Jeff Jenkins, the one of the two

- 45:27Speaker 3: on WCCHS and Metro News stations across the States, and
- 45:31Speaker 3: on this show tomorrow. It's Friday, meaning we'll have a
- 45:35Speaker 3: visit from Angie Gillenwater from the i Canawha Charleston Human
- 45:38Speaker 3: Association with this week's Adopt Me Please, pat of the week,
- 45:41Speaker 3: Doctor Casey Sackvillebridge Valley's on the show, and Jill Garin
- 45:44Speaker 3: from The Dirty Birds coming up on tomorrow's show as well.
- 45:49Speaker 3: I want to share this and it is just a
- 45:52Speaker 3: bit of good news, and you may recall a couple
- 45:57Speaker 3: of weeks ago I had on the show filmmaker Calvin
- 46:00Speaker 3: Grim of the Lost Valley Studios, who's working and has
- 46:03Speaker 3: been for some time on a big project called Bring
- 46:07Speaker 3: Them Home, and it is about the seventeen Vietnam War
- 46:12Speaker 3: veterans that are still mia in that part of the world.
- 46:17Speaker 3: And he's also been running may have if you listen
- 46:19Speaker 3: to the station a lot, you may have heard the
- 46:20Speaker 3: ads that his company purchased that have been running on
- 46:24Speaker 3: the station here as well. I am happy to reports
- 46:29Speaker 3: that Calvin was able to make contact with the sister
- 46:36Speaker 3: in law of one of those missing, Sergeant Jimmy Taylor,
- 46:41Speaker 3: who was from Nitro. Apparently the brother of Jimmy is
- 46:46Speaker 3: alive and is living in Indiana, but it was the
- 46:50Speaker 3: sister that I guess connected with Calvin, and Calvin is
- 46:55Speaker 3: going to be heading out to Indiana next week to
- 47:00Speaker 3: talk to the family and get their story. Now, if
- 47:02Speaker 3: you don't recall that from a couple of weeks ago,
- 47:04Speaker 3: they put together this film and as I said, it
- 47:06Speaker 3: was about the seventeen West Virginia veterans of the Vietnam
- 47:10Speaker 3: War that there were mia and they're just trying to
- 47:14Speaker 3: get a little closure for some of the families and
- 47:17Speaker 3: trying to get in touch with these families and the
- 47:22Speaker 3: power of radio. When we had Calvin on a couple
- 47:25Speaker 3: of weeks ago, I don't know exactly how it happened,
- 47:29Speaker 3: but either through the interview that I did with Calvin
- 47:32Speaker 3: or the ads he was running, somehow word got to
- 47:36Speaker 3: Indiana that the fan there were family members of Jimmy
- 47:42Speaker 3: Taylor of Nitro. That's pretty good stuff right there. Now,
- 47:46Speaker 3: we're working to get Calvin on the show tomorrow. That's
- 47:51Speaker 3: the plan. I don't know. He is very very busy,
- 47:55Speaker 3: and as I said, because of this station, he is
- 47:58Speaker 3: now going to head out to the Indiana early next week,
- 48:01Speaker 3: so hopefully we can get Calvin on the We're kind
- 48:03Speaker 3: of booked solid tomorrow, but I'm going to make room
- 48:05Speaker 3: for Calvin to come on to talk about that. And
- 48:07Speaker 3: also I want to say I do appreciate the nice
- 48:09Speaker 3: phone call that I got from Charlie Capito. He's the
- 48:12Speaker 3: husband of Shelley Moore Capito. When he called me, he said,
- 48:15Speaker 3: I'm the one that's not on the ballot. He had
- 48:17Speaker 3: actually heard about the interview with Calvin Grimm, and mister
- 48:23Speaker 3: Capita in turn turned me onto another project that's very
- 48:26Speaker 3: similar to this on a nationwide level. So I'm going
- 48:28Speaker 3: to try to get into that at another time. We'll
- 48:30Speaker 3: check in with the boys in the Capitol momentarily. Let
- 48:32Speaker 3: me knock out a couple of texts here before we
- 48:35Speaker 3: go to them. Texas, Dave, when will Danny Jones be
- 48:37Speaker 3: back on the show. He's a man of common sense
- 48:40Speaker 3: and a historian of many events. Thanks. I actually exchanged
- 48:42Speaker 3: some text with Danny yesterday. Danny is always welcome on
- 48:46Speaker 3: this show anytime he wants to come on. He is
- 48:48Speaker 3: more than welcome, Texas. To people who need the synchronized
- 48:53Speaker 3: conservative anger media also known as scam contuned into Fox
- 48:56Speaker 3: News or podcast to get their anger fix. It's not
- 48:59Speaker 3: like Clay and Buck or Dan Bongino say anything different
