  Speaker 3: Without further ado, though, I want to welcome into the

• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and welcome to the show.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Good morning you are you're on a roll here, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I can I just say something about Steve Bishop because.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Absolutely I have.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Obviously, when I began, which was a long time ago,
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Steve was on Steve and Jenny, and I was so
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: nervous to go down to to the studio to be
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: interviewed by them or to talk with them. And back
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: then you brought donuts. He would he would say, bring
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: the donuts down. He doesn't do that anymore because now
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I see him out at all the all the walks
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: and all the runs, and he's all healthy, and I'm like,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: where are the donuts, Senator?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: He still does it. Don't get me, I mean, don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: let him fool you. He still does. As a matter
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of fact, they always plan these celebrations when I'm on
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the air, every time without fail, this, Oh we're all
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: going to meet at nine o'clock. Oh great, Well, I'm
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: kind of tied up at nine o'clock. But I can
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: tell you that in the in the green room and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: in our conference room right now where the Steve Bishop
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: celebrations going on, that I'm missing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: There are pastries from Spring Help Pastry, and there are
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: also some Chick fil A breakfast biscuits as well, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'm missing all of it. When I go back in,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: there'll be a couple of crumbs here there. I hope
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: there's some donuts, just for comfort, Just for comfort, all right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I want to switch gears here, of course, Williams on
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: government shutdown, but I want to I want to get
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: serious here for a moment. Of course, the world is
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: mourning the death of Dick Cheney today, and I thought
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I would give you an opportunity to weigh in on
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the passing of Dick Cheney.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Well, obviously, my first year in the Congress was when
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Dick Cheney was first elected as vice president. He had
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: a storied history as being Secretary of Defense and chief
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: of staff to a president at a very young age.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: He was a man of few words. He didn't really
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: talk a lot. He came to Charleston several times to
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: campaign for me. It was awesome, and so we had
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: a great relationship. He cared a lot about the people
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of West Virginia, understood West Virginia being from a smaller
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: state like Wyoming, and I think he was a pivotal
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: person at a really difficult time after those nine to
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: eleven attacks, and so our relationship. He knew my dad
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: as well, having been in the house around the same time,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: and so I know that he and his I know
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: that his family had struggles. I think he had his
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: first heart attack when he was in his mid thirties.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: So he was a remarkable individual. But we had that
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: little smirky smile. So he had a good sense of humor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: But he was just a quiet man, but very patriotic
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: and we will miss him.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And I have done some reading and watched some biographies
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: about Dick Cheney, and just what you said there, Senator,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things people said about him that
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: knew in best was he was quiet, but he had
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: a great sense of humor. And we've all known people
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: like that in our life. When you look at him
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: at a fart, you said, well, how's this person funny?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: But once you get to know them, they really are.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And that's a couple of articles. And as I said,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: biographies i'd seen about Dick Cheney, they said he had
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: a fantastic sense of humor, a little bit quiet, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you got to know him, right.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: And I think he was a steady hand during an
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: unsteady time for our nation. And I know there's controversies
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: as to what the policies that he helped formulate when
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: President Bush, but you know, we have to go back
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: to that time when we saw three thousand people killed
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: in towers in New York. I mean, I don't think
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: we ever thought something like that could ever happen. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: a strong a man such as Dick Cheney, with a
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: strong sense of core and sense of love of country,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I think was a pivotal time for us. And he
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: was also willing to take sort of the slings and
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: arrows of politics. You know, it's a rough business and
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: sometimes people fold under the pressure, but he never did.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Talking with US Senator Shelley Moore Capito in the Life
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: of Dick Cheney, Let's move on to some other things.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I appreciate those kind words, I really do. It's now
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I think the tide for the longest shutdown, governmental shutdown,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: partial shutdown, whatever you want to call it in US history,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: is that right.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: It is, and it's certainly not a milestone to be
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: proud of. It is miserable for everybody and becoming very
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: personally miserable to a lot of West Virginians, whether it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: food or other services contracts, et cetera, or people that
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: are working for the government or tsa. Folks, it's really
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: really rough and hopefully this will this will end this week.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: There are some there's some blue sky here, but not
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: enough right now for me to make that prediction. Unfortunately.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Well, and we know, you know, the last week, last Friday,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I guess it was a couple of judges came out
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and said that they had to be they had that
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the Snap benefits had to be the money had to
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: go into it. And we know, as you said, there
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: is some blue sky, if you will, but it's going
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to be slow coming to get these people caught up
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: because it's not a Okay, we're good, let's start, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: loading the cards. That's not the way that this thing works.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And we're talking about center, we're talking about somewhere like
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: sixteen percent, as you said, millions of West virgin Onions
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: that didn't have their Snap cards loaded on Saturday.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: And I actually heard a story yesterday of a woman
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: who was shopping in a Walmart and her cart was
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: full and when she got to the register, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: the cashier I had to say, you don't have any
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: money on your card, and she just left in tears,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: had to leave the basket and everything. She didn't have
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: enough money. And I'm sure that was happening everywhere. It's
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a disservice to everybody. Some states are able to pay.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I know the governor and others have really tried to
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: fill the gap here, and I'm very pleased about that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: But there shouldn't be a gap to fill. I mean,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: we've had this vote, we're going to have it again
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: fourteen times to open the government. This could have been
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: avoided thirty five, thirty whatever day we're on, thirty five
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: or thirty six days days ago while we negotiated other
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: things like healthcare and other things. But the politics have
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: gotten in the way, unfortunately, and now we're hearing well,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: I'll wait till the elections today in Virginia and New
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Jersey and New York. I mean, there's always another milestone
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: that was that we have to get through before five
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: saying Democrats will vote and open the government. That's what
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: we're down to, all right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I know you're on the very limited schedule, So I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: do want to ask you one other thing. Though the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: President has come out and said maybe it's time in
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: this situation or others, that we that we need to
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: do away with the filibuster. Your thoughts on.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: That, well, I am on record and I've said many
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: times that I don't believe eliminating the filibuster is a
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: smart thing for the future of our country, simply because
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: it preserves rights of the minority and it forces us
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: into negotiation into I think, better solutions. And so if
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: the you know, if the argument is the Democrats are
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: going to be in charge and they're going to do it, well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: they're going to pack the court, do voting rights, work
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: on abortion and gun rights, other things that they you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: QW too. And I just think that for the tradition
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and for the future, that the the filibuster preserve, nerves
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and leads us to better policies. So and I also
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: signed a letter in December of twenty seventeen that said
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: that I would not vote to eliminate the filibuster. You know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I don't write letters and make promises and then take
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: them away. So I'm pretty much locked in.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Senor Shelley Moore capital give me about thirty seconds. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: know you have to go. But to your message to
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: the people of West Virginia, well, I would have.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: To say to that this week that looks like we've
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: got a little blue sky here to reopen the government.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: The disservice that's been paid to West Virginians is so
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: avoidable without the political scenario that we find ourselves in.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: And I've been working hard to trying to find solutions
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: across the aisle, which is I would think most people
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: would expect me to do.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Senor Shelley Moore Capito, appreciate you being here. Thanks a lot, great, thanks,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: have a good day.
• 10:47

  Speaker 3: not yet the way, well, let me tell you. Let
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: me tell you if you didn't get them already the
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: way these jackals are here. Buddy, you're done too late,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You're done.
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I have no thoughts in my head that when I
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: walk out of this studio at nine to fifty nine
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: that there's good to be anything left it there none whatsoever.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: So tell us about this festival, tell us what the
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: purpose of it is.
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: So yeah, it's our fortyth anniversary festival. The festival is
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: formed in nineteen eighty five. It's been a few years
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: since we've been able to have an actual festival format,
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: first due to you know, COVID, Plus we also operate
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: a year round cinema now, so that kind of takes
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: a lot of time as well. So we wanted to, though,
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: for our forty anniversary, get back to a good festival
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: format and just you know, we like to highlight films
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: at our local cinema and in our festival that won't
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: show up at you know, the local big theaters and
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: things like that. Most of these are international and independent
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: films that might not even play in the US at
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: all in some cases. Talk about your interest in this, yeah,
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: So I first became aware of it probably twenty five
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: years ago when I was a student at State, you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: I was in the communications program there and a lot
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: of the professors were told me about this film festival
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: coming up. So I started going way back then, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: I've been on and off over the years many times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: So it was twenty seventeen when they started opening the cinema.
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: The VAUNT started volunteering down there and helping out, you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: doing a little bit of painting down there back in
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: the day, and then eventually just joined the board and
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: became the president of few years after that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: So we'll talk about your personal interest. Well, what is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: it about international film that I mean, because that you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: kind of got you involved in this. Why do you
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: like it so much?
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: I like just the idea of, you know, getting to see,
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: you know, the world through other people's perspectives. Right, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: we're gonna we have films from China, Norway, Ireland, Morocco,
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: so we just get to see the world through a
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: very different set of eyes, especially like the Chinese one
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: is very outside of most of our lived experiences at
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: the time.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So all right, and where is the first and win
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: is the festival?
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: So it's November thirteenth through the sixteenth. It's going to
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: take place largely at Park Place Cinemas and then also
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: at our cinema underneath the Taylor Books, the Flora Lee
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: Hart Cohen Cinema. So we've got films playing both days
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: in both places until the evening when we all kind
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: of come together for our headlining features.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I'm just and we'll get to those features here in
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: a moment. Again, we're talking to Delford chaff in West Virginia.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: International Film festival. I just wonder what a difference that
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the Internet has made in all these because, as you said,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of these films that you're going to be
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: showing aren't necessarily ones that you're going to see at
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: your at your multiplex and so on and so forth.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: You're probably not going to find them on in many cases,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: even on some of the some of the streaming services
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: one of the more quote unquote traditional ones. But how
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: has it changed with the with the internet.
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean not just the internet, but home theater
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: as well. Yeah, has certainly, you know, changed the amount
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: that people go to the movies and just in general,
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: I think, you know, the studios and the films are
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: being made also have something to play in that sometimes.
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: But and even when we see that, it depends on
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: what the movie is, whether people are interested in coming
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: out to see it versus staying home or watching it online.
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: But yeah, even though you can see so many films
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: now at home on the internet, some of the films
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: we're playing are I still haven't been able to find
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: streaming anywhere. So, you know, the film I mentioned from
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: Norway that director has twenty years of films and I
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: haven't been able to find any of them streaming.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: So given to it's not showing up on the on
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the local streaming service cars what you're saying.
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, some of them eventually will, but not all of them.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: It's always interesting to me, you know, in this time
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: of uh as someone once called it short attention span theater, right,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that we all have now when everything's TikTok and everything's
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: like five ten second yeah, you know, snapchat videos or
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: YouTube or whatever, and if it's over a minute, you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: you're not going to have people anymore.
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we do have some you know, help for some
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: of those people too. We have four shorts that are
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: made okay here in West Virginia.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I say that because this proves though that there is
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: still something. Oh yeah, you said for quote unquote long form,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: which would be anything more than about ten minutes, right,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: talk about those shorts that you have.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: So we have four West Virginia kind of short films.
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: One is Breaking Them Old by Justin Litton. It's a
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: story on Blinko Glass. It's about thirty minutes long. There's
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: another film called In Waiting and by local filmmaker he
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: used to be. He lives in California now, but he's
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: from here. There's a film called Coming Home by Doug
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: and Brogno who you might know. It's about no the name,
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: yeah yeah, de institutionalization here in West Virginia. And then
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: finally there's a film called Why Ukraine Matters. It's kind
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: of talks about the similarities between the people and Naplatcha
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: and the people in Ukraine's.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: And that's interesting to me because when you think international
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Film Festival, automatically people's minds go to someplace totally different.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And there are the I'm sure artsy and the big
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: movies and things, but this takes in a lot of ground.
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: What you're talking about here. We've got, you know, all
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: of different films. I mean, there are some artsier pictures,
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: like the Chinese film is very cinemilarity. It's very like
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: are just a real life experience almost, It's almost like
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: you're watching these people live their lives instead of a movie.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: But what uh, what are some of the things that
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know you're going to be a part
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: of it, but what are some of the things that
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: you that that excited you about this particular festival and
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: the films are going to be shown.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Just the opportunity to get it back, especially at park Place.
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: It's kind of a cool opportunity.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: So we had to text somebody said they thought park
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Place was closed. It is closed, but but it's open
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: for this festival.
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: The City of Charleston owns it and they're looking for
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: a new tenant in there, but I don't know any
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: updates on that. But they are being generous enough to
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: let us use that space for a couple of days,
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: and they've been maintaining it and stuff.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. How I was going to say, how are the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: facilities there, because it's nice a maintain.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah, there's some things have been taken out obviously, but
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: you know, they just did some updated work on the
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: restrooms and things like that and everything's I love.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I love Delford. I love when people when cities, you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: community groups, people like yourself, when they get involved with
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: these with these older theaters and they say because they're
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: still I mean I know they do they're doing and
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: sometimes it's not all films, you know, sometimes there could
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: be theater. It could be music. I know the folks
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: at the Alburn Theatre and saying albits of double job.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: The LaBelle Theater in South Charleston. We have a theater
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: in my hometown called the Coalfield Jamboree, the old Logan
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Theater that seats well over a thousand people and they
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: still they don't use it for films, but they still
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: use it for things in the community. They have concerts
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: there and things of that nature. I love when people,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: mainly volunteers, come together bring these things back to life.
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah. Now, our friends at the Mountaincraft Film Fest weapon Clarksburg,
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: they've been using the Robinson Grand the pasts.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: It's a theater.
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: That's a nice space.

• 23:29
  Speaker 11: at Coco's.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: And you mentioned the Film Office in West Virginia. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: know that there has been such a movement on over
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: the years to make West Virginia a place where people
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: can come not only to produce great films by West Virginian's,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: you know, but also to get other people to come here.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Talk about that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I know. Dave Lavender's head of the Film office
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: right now. Pam Haynes was over back in the day
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: and she was very involved with the film festival years ago.
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: But now, yeah, Dave Lavender is doing a great job
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: over there, bringing you know, films and shoots and stuff
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: into the end of the state. There's a lot of talent
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: here that gets used elsewhere as well.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: So well, and it always you know, when there's a
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: film that's being made in a West Virginia is the
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: setting or it's got West Virginia, the fact that they
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: film it in New Jersey or something like that, it's
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: just I'm just like, why not just do it here?
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's probably cheaper here.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I mean, we know, the cost of
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: living stuff is cheaper here as well, and you're gonna
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: probably get a cheaper meal catering. Catering is going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: be a lot to talk about the role of the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: volunteers though, I mean, like yourself and others in order
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: to to to bring this thing together.
• 24:33

• 31:34
  Speaker 3: bit our guy, Steve Bishop, forty five years. You've been
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: with this company, mister Bishop, forty five years, not entirely
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: this company, Okay, okay.
• 31:44
  Speaker 17: So I don't know how it's been nineteen ninety early
• 31:49
  Speaker 17: nineties they bought V one hundred.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, And so it's been thirty thirty some years
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: with them, and it hasn't always all been in this building, right, Uh, Okay,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: talk about let's back up, let's talk about your your
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: coming to Charleston.
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: By coming to Charleston was not expected I but I
• 32:08
  Speaker 17: was looking for somewhere to go to get more experience
• 32:12
  Speaker 17: because I was working in Charlotte and people asked me,
• 32:14
  Speaker 17: why did you leave Charlotte to come here? Well, this
• 32:18
  Speaker 17: was a better opportunity for me at the point of
• 32:20
  Speaker 17: the career, my career that I was in, so I
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: came here. It's almost like I went from the major markets,
• 32:28
  Speaker 17: you know, like the big ball team back to the
• 32:31
  Speaker 17: minor leagues. But that's that's kind of the thinking then.
• 32:37
  Speaker 17: So I would come here, get a little bit better,
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: get some more experience, and I would move along up,
• 32:44
  Speaker 17: you know, to a bigger city. Well who knew, because
• 32:48
  Speaker 17: I said earlier Charleston was like the one year, one
• 32:51
  Speaker 17: to two year plan, and so I thought, okay, it's
• 32:54
  Speaker 17: November nineteen eighty. I get here Election Day nineteen eighty.
• 32:58
  Speaker 17: My first day on V one hundred was a day
• 33:00
  Speaker 17: Ronald Reagan was elected president the first time. That's how
• 33:03
  Speaker 17: I've remembered this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Do you remember any music that you played on that
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: first thing?
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: No?
• 33:06
  Speaker 17: And what shift were you working? I came to work
• 33:09
  Speaker 17: in the and I was on in the afternoon. Okay,
• 33:11
  Speaker 17: So I moved to the morning show in February of
• 33:13
  Speaker 17: nineteen eighty four, and I've been doing it ever since been.
• 33:17
  Speaker 17: I was thinking about this last night. There have been
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: four people that did the V one hundred morning show
• 33:22
  Speaker 17: three prior to me, and so in me and whoever
• 33:25
  Speaker 17: inherits it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: When I leave, you're not leaving.
• 33:28
  Speaker 17: You don't think? No, No, I don't know. I don't
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: really know when when it's enough. I really don't. I
• 33:34
  Speaker 17: think about It's more in my head now than it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 17: ever been. Well, it does, because people start asking you. Yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 17: I turned sixty years old. People going started going when
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: are you retire? And I went, I've never even thought
• 33:45
  Speaker 17: about it, never.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Sane I mean, are you sixty years old?
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: No?
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: No, fifty five, fifty five.
• 33:54
  Speaker 17: But you got a long way.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: But I've been doing this for thirty seven years with
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: this company, only for five though I don't intent I'll
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: ever return. I mean I'm just gonna have one day
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: to hear and that's it. I'm done, and Ryan or somebody,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: or Ryan Junior or somebody's gonna have to come in
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: and just like these. It's funny you.
• 34:11
  Speaker 17: Say that, because I've had people tell me. My former
• 34:15
  Speaker 17: wife told me one time, she said, you're Paul. You're
• 34:18
  Speaker 17: the Paul Howard. For those of you who don't know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 17: Paul Howard worked until Paul Howard would have come to
• 34:23
  Speaker 17: work the day he died at ninety three if he
• 34:26
  Speaker 17: could have, but he couldn't. But my former wife told
• 34:29
  Speaker 17: me one time, she said, you're you're You're Paul Howard,
• 34:32
  Speaker 17: and she said you'll probably die on the air. Now,
• 34:36
  Speaker 17: she wasn't being mean, she was just being honest, like
• 34:38
  Speaker 17: she knows how knew how much I cared about what
• 34:41
  Speaker 17: I do and how much how much I've enjoyed it
• 34:44
  Speaker 17: and how much it's my it's been my life. That
• 34:48
  Speaker 17: she said, you probably drop dead on the air. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 17: I said, well, I hope that I hit the microphone
• 34:52
  Speaker 17: and turn it on as it happens, so that everybody
• 34:55
  Speaker 17: can tell maybe call nine one one. Steve seems to
• 34:58
  Speaker 17: be not functioning.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Steve has more dead air than normal.
• 35:02
  Speaker 17: Yes, there might be something going on. You better get
• 35:05
  Speaker 17: the authorities out there.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if you answered it. I but
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: do do you remember any of the music you played?
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Because I'm trying to think I'm kind of a mute February.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. In November of nineteen eighty, John Lennon was
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: still living because he was killed the following month, So
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yes, that album had come out, Double Fantasy,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I think it was out at that time.
• 35:22
  Speaker 17: She might have been playing I was playing songs.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Off there, starting Over, Yeah, yeah, all right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 17: Starting Over I think was the hit song.
• 35:29
  Speaker 18: Then.
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: Yes, that that's talk about something happened, major happening in
• 35:34
  Speaker 17: your career, because you remember things like that. And I
• 35:38
  Speaker 17: wasn't on the air then. That was that night, but
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: I remember being watching Monday Night like everybody, and they
• 35:44
  Speaker 17: broke in and said what had happened? And I remember
• 35:47
  Speaker 17: the next morning. You know, I didn't work that morning,
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: but I remember the guy that was on and he
• 35:55
  Speaker 17: just he was a huge Beatles fan. He was just devastated.
• 35:58
  Speaker 19: It was.
• 35:59
  Speaker 17: It was terrible. I remember, I was this is the
• 36:02
  Speaker 17: weird for me. I was on the air in Charlotte
• 36:06
  Speaker 17: not on the air at the time, but I had
• 36:07
  Speaker 17: to work that night when Elvis died, and that I
• 36:11
  Speaker 17: didn't I had to ask my boss, I don't know
• 36:13
  Speaker 17: what to do. Tell me how I should be on
• 36:16
  Speaker 17: the radio because I was so new at it. Yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 17: I just said, I don't know, I don't know, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 17: he just he laid it out there. But that was
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: that was huge. There have been lots of things. I
• 36:26
  Speaker 17: remember this. This will maybe not be funny to some people,
• 36:30
  Speaker 17: but the day that Ronald Reagan was shot, remember that. Yeah,
• 36:36
  Speaker 17: when I was working in the afternoon, the guy, the
• 36:38
  Speaker 17: guy that was my newsman, he he hadn't come in
• 36:42
  Speaker 17: to tell me. There are people calling and saying, I
• 36:46
  Speaker 17: don't know if you heard, but the President's been shot
• 36:48
  Speaker 17: in Washington, and so that's a pretty big deal. I
• 36:52
  Speaker 17: go into the newsroom and I and I said, hey,
• 36:56
  Speaker 17: I want to embarrass him here. But I don't know
• 36:59
  Speaker 17: if he's still around or not. But I said, people
• 37:02
  Speaker 17: are calling telling me that the president's been shot. And
• 37:05
  Speaker 17: he goes, yeah, he goes, I'm going to get that
• 37:07
  Speaker 17: on and those at the top of the eye. I'm thinking, like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 17: I think you need to come in here.

• 38:00
  Speaker 19: You know.
• 38:03
  Speaker 17: Well, it's funny. I met both my wives through my job.

• 38:45
  Speaker 3: but I grew up. I know you hate hearing that,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: but I hear it all the time too. I grew
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: up listening to Steve Bishop idea. But you saw him
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: out and about in the community growing up in Charleston. Yeah,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I did see Steve.
• 38:55
  Speaker 18: Steve was a fixture of my I hate to say childhood, Steve,
• 38:58
  Speaker 18: but to some degree, and nineteen eighty I was.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: I don't hate that. That's okay. It's forty five years
• 39:03
  Speaker 17: a long time, it is.
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: It is.
• 39:05
  Speaker 18: I was six in nineteen eighty, so.
• 39:07
  Speaker 17: I'm almost sixty eight years old now. It's okay.
• 39:10
  Speaker 18: And I remember I remember Steve later Bill Shahan and
• 39:13
  Speaker 18: all of the big guys for the Charleston area, and
• 39:16
  Speaker 18: I V one hundred was over in Kannall City for
• 39:18
  Speaker 18: the longest time, right it was.
• 39:19
  Speaker 17: We were on top of the right Ad drug store
• 39:21
  Speaker 17: when I got here, and now I don't even know
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: what it is.
• 39:25
  Speaker 18: It's it's incredible because growing up in Kanall City, we
• 39:29
  Speaker 18: had our phone number over there was nine two five
• 39:31
  Speaker 18: eight six o and UH the for the AM station
• 39:36
  Speaker 18: at V one hundred was six eighty at the time, right,
• 39:38
  Speaker 18: So we would get on every especially Christmas morning, we
• 39:41
  Speaker 18: would get UH phone calls for for for nine to
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: five six eight oh so for for six eighty. So
• 39:47
  Speaker 18: I always knew somehow or nother that six eighty and
• 39:49
  Speaker 18: V one hundred was somehow related, yes, back then, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 18: Steve was one of the UH was the guy that
• 39:56
  Speaker 18: I knew as far as radio goes, that that was Steve.
• 39:58
  Speaker 18: And I was in Rady. I got in the first time.
• 40:01
  Speaker 18: Don Cook brought me on in the early nineties and
• 40:04
  Speaker 18: I worked here, but I didn't work with Steve a
• 40:06
  Speaker 18: lot then. I was mostly overnight. Maybe we saw each
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: other occasionally in the mornings or something like that if
• 40:10
  Speaker 18: I worked an overnight shift or I worked over on CHS,
• 40:14
  Speaker 18: So I didn't see Steve a lot when I came back,
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: though in twenty ten. I worked here twice before I
• 40:18
  Speaker 18: came back in twenty ten, and I've been here constantly
• 40:20
  Speaker 18: since then. The first time that I was super nervous
• 40:24
  Speaker 18: on radio was was doing traffic for Steve and Jenny.
• 40:27
  Speaker 18: It's the only time that I was ever super nervous
• 40:30
  Speaker 18: was was work. It was just it was like because
• 40:33
  Speaker 18: it was somebody that you knew, so like like I
• 40:35
  Speaker 18: didn't know but sort of knew and I and I
• 40:37
  Speaker 18: was like, man, I want to screw this up, and
• 40:39
  Speaker 18: I don't want to screw up like the best morning
• 40:40
  Speaker 18: show in the city, and I don't want to be
• 40:42
  Speaker 18: I don't know what I want to do to ruin
• 40:44
  Speaker 18: this thing. And all my days I've been nervous about
• 40:46
  Speaker 18: other things, like for me, but as far as just
• 40:49
  Speaker 18: being on the air, sharing air with someone, Being on
• 40:51
  Speaker 18: air with Stephen Jenny was the first time and maybe
• 40:53
  Speaker 18: the only time I've ever been really nervous.

  Speaker 3: Well it is radio. Keep that in mind, all right. Jenny,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: talk about the first time you were on the air
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: with Steve.
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.
• 42:14
  Speaker 22: I did not know what to think of him. I
• 42:15
  Speaker 22: mean it was, you know, just a few years out
• 42:18
  Speaker 22: of college.
• 42:19
  Speaker 17: You don't even remember when I do so remember.
• 42:21
  Speaker 22: So we had Randy Dammren on one station and Steve
• 42:25
  Speaker 22: on the other side doing his FM show. I was
• 42:29
  Speaker 22: actually doing news for him when I first started.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: So kind of worked.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: We were.
• 42:33
  Speaker 17: We weren't like a team then. That didn't happen till
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: the late nineties.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Okayat but those idea wasn't to put you together.
• 42:40
  Speaker 22: Actually, I think Dale Miller, former Presecond Time Company. The
• 42:45
  Speaker 22: second time, he kind of pulled me aside and he's like, Jenny,
• 42:49
  Speaker 22: I need you to work with Steve because I think
• 42:51
  Speaker 22: you're the only one who can handle it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Wow, welcome to your roast, Steve.
• 42:58
  Speaker 11: The rest they say is his.
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: Well, I I didn't well, I remember that, but I
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: was thinking that we worked. We worked at the country
• 43:04
  Speaker 17: station together, which is ninety six point one. I came
• 43:08
  Speaker 17: over and worked at WCHS in the morning for I
• 43:11
  Speaker 17: don't know, a year or so, and then they needed
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: somebody over at ninety six, and so I went over there.
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: I mean, technically I haven't been on V one hundred
• 43:20
  Speaker 17: all forty five years, but I just it's easier to
• 43:23
  Speaker 17: say that because I always had an association with the station.
• 43:26
  Speaker 17: Whether I because I tried twice to go do something else,
• 43:30
  Speaker 17: not because I hated V one hundred because I didn't.
• 43:32
  Speaker 17: I just wanted to try something else, so I did,
• 43:35
  Speaker 17: and then I always ended up back over there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had a career other than radium? Have
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: you ever done anything else besides redoll?
• 43:42
  Speaker 17: I was talking about this earlier. I've the time or
• 43:45
  Speaker 17: two I might have had a normal job. It didn't
• 43:48
  Speaker 17: last very long because I could never have a normal,
• 43:52
  Speaker 17: regular job. I just I couldn't.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: We're not normal people, No, we aren't.
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: And it just didn't seem like that was in the
• 44:01
  Speaker 17: cards for me. It had to be some But I
• 44:03
  Speaker 17: never honestly thought that my radio career would last. It'll
• 44:08
  Speaker 17: be fifty years next year.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: And you started, as I mean, when you think about
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: when when you started your career, not necessarily here, but
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: when you started your career. The differences between now and then,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: because again I've not been doing it as long as
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: you have, but I know the differences between when I
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: started thirty seven years ago and what it is now.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: It's just I mean, there's just computer monitors everywhere, and
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: now that you've added social media to it, it's a
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: big part of it.
• 44:33
  Speaker 17: It's different change, that's for sure. That's for sure. Technology wise,
• 44:38
  Speaker 17: it's gotten easier because I was famous for putting the
• 44:42
  Speaker 17: record on the turntable and having at as wrong speed.
• 44:46
  Speaker 17: That was because once in a while you'd play something
• 44:48
  Speaker 17: off an album and have to set it on thirty
• 44:50
  Speaker 17: three and a third, and then I'd forget to put
• 44:53
  Speaker 17: it back on forty five. I know some of somebody
• 44:56
  Speaker 17: listening is going like, I don't even know what he's.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Talking I don't have no idea what he's talking about.

• 48:07
  Speaker 3: who is celebrating his forty fifth anniversary with this company.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Bobby Sprye joins us right now, and she's dying to
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: tell a Steve Bishop's story.
• 48:16
  Speaker 21: Well it's really not that funny, but steveciate it's.
• 48:19
  Speaker 17: Find it hysterical because it just is so true.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: It is so true.
• 48:23
  Speaker 21: So I started working here at WBrC Media back in
• 48:27
  Speaker 21: twenty sixteen, and I remember standing up at the front
• 48:30
  Speaker 21: desk with my back towards the long hallway, and I'm
• 48:32
  Speaker 21: talking to whoever the receptionists may have been at the time,
• 48:35
  Speaker 21: and I hear Steve Bishop walking up the hall. Now
• 48:38
  Speaker 21: he was complaining about something. I don't remember what it was.
• 48:41
  Speaker 21: I just remember the tone of his voice. And at
• 48:44
  Speaker 21: the time I had not met Steve, but as many
• 48:48
  Speaker 21: of us have grown up listening to Steve and Jenny,
• 48:51
  Speaker 21: in my mind, Steve was iconic, you know, he was
• 48:54
  Speaker 21: a legend. He was somebody famous that I never thought
• 48:58
  Speaker 21: i'd have the opportunity to meet. So I'm looking at
• 49:02
  Speaker 21: the receptionist saying, oh my God, is that Steve Bishop?
• 49:06
  Speaker 19: Is that?
• 49:07
  Speaker 21: Is that him walking behind me?
• 49:08
  Speaker 22: And I was just so enamored.
• 49:10
  Speaker 21: And then the joke is you fast forward three years later,
• 49:13
  Speaker 21: Steve would come down to the office to talk to me,
• 49:15
  Speaker 21: and I'd be like, Oh, hell, Steve, what do you
• 49:17
  Speaker 21: want to.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: Become?
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: What is it now?
• 49:23
  Speaker 17: Stee It just became one of her coworkers.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Growing up, you talked about wanting to do radio. Who
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: are some of the people that you listen to?
• 49:32
  Speaker 19: Me?
• 49:33
  Speaker 18: Yeah?
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that you that there were some of your heroes? Anybody, Well,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: I mean I would always you can say Fred Persinger
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: if you want.
• 49:41
  Speaker 17: Well, I didn't know Fred till I got here, but
• 49:44
  Speaker 17: Fred's one of my heroes, that's for sure.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: He's one of mine as well.
• 49:47
  Speaker 17: He's the best. I don't know I was since I
• 49:51
  Speaker 17: was fascinated with radio. I would I had a little
• 49:53
  Speaker 17: transistor radio that I stuck under my pillow at night,
• 49:56
  Speaker 17: and I would tune in w LS in Chicago and
• 50:00
  Speaker 17: and you know, w NBC in New York and w ABC,
• 50:03
  Speaker 17: because these were all fifty thousand watt radio stations that
• 50:06
  Speaker 17: got out over at night all over the country, and
• 50:10
  Speaker 17: I would listen. You know, it's just again, I was
• 50:13
  Speaker 17: just fascinated with the whole the whole radio, how it
• 50:17
  Speaker 17: all worked, and these these guys that I listened to.
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: I don't know, if I don't know if people now
• 50:22
  Speaker 17: that are doing this or even have heroes, or if
• 50:27
  Speaker 17: that's the right term, or well.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: The business has just changed. You know this too. Business
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: has just changed so much that those iconic figures, even
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: on a local level. I mean, we're pretty damn lucky
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: in this company, you know which. I have you guys,
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: to have Woody Woods' Chris Lawrence's, to have Steve Animal here,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: to have Rob Real, to have these people, these people
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: here that people actually know in the community, because it's
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: not that way everywhere. No, no, it's not.
• 50:55
  Speaker 17: It's different. It's it's definitely a different ball game now,
• 50:58
  Speaker 17: that's for sure.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: All Right, So how long are you going to continue this?
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I keep going, I.
• 51:01
  Speaker 17: Don't know, it's stopping, is in my head. But when
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: I don't know and I don't know, it's so another
• 51:13
  Speaker 17: forty five, I doubt it. I do have a goal
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: of living to be a hundred, but I don't have
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: a goal of working till.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: I got you. I got you, Genny. Give me one
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: thing about Steve that maybe people don't know.
• 51:24
  Speaker 22: He talks on the radio to thousands of people every day,
• 51:28
  Speaker 22: but he is one of the shyest people.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I've ever met. It's not uncommon.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 51:33
  Speaker 22: We actually went to a company Christmas party and I
• 51:36
  Speaker 22: was sitting with Rick Johnson and his wife and Steve
• 51:39
  Speaker 22: called me on myself and he's like, where are you
• 51:41
  Speaker 22: right now? And I'm like, I'm sitting in here with
• 51:43
  Speaker 22: Rick and his wife. Would you come out to the
• 51:45
  Speaker 22: elevator and get me. He didn't want to walk in.
• 51:48
  Speaker 22: He was so shy even walking into a room with people.
• 51:51
  Speaker 17: He people I work with and know and every day.
• 51:55
  Speaker 17: Just why does it become different when you're off the clock.
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: I don't know. It just was awkward.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Well, and we're we're awkward people by nature. But I
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: got this is the best business in the world. Steve,
