Plus, I haven't spent a whole lot of time talking about the Senator
2:46
Mansion situation, just a little bit here and there. Had Greg Thomas on
2:49
the show last week, So I got some things I want to talk about
2:52
as it relates to Senator Joe Mansion not seeking re election and instead choosing to
3:00
travel the country searching for the middle I want to talk about that coming up
3:02
a little bit later on. Plus is always your calls are in the text.
3:06
Are welcome. It's Monday, which means mayor Monday. You have a
3:08
visit from a local mayor. This week it is Frank Mullins, mayor of
3:12
South Charleston. He is standing by mayor. Good morning, how are you?
3:15
Good morning, Dave? Doing fine? Thank you? H First of
3:17
all, happy, happy early Thanksgiving. Uh. What does Thanksgiving look like
3:23
for the Mullins family? Which you got planned? How much food you're gonna
3:25
eat? That's what I should say. Just a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. You
3:29
know, my wife will cooked dinner this year, and my kids will all
3:30
come up and we'll have a great day and we have dinner about two o'clock
3:35
and then we sit around watching a little football Injoy Company. They wanted to
3:37
watch the Cowboys meet up on Washington. Uh. So, Uh, we
3:43
got a lot of things I want to cover with you, but the overall,
3:46
what's new in South Charleston. You got a lot of things new in
3:47
South Charleston. Talk about it. Yeah, a lot of things going on.
3:51
As we've talked about before. Everything's going well at the park place.
3:53
You know, you've got Starbucks getting going up now as we speak, and
3:57
then hopefully this spring an argers start. We got their sight almost ready to
4:00
go, so they should start sometime this spring. The settlement and compactions going
4:04
on with the rest of the property, you should see that construction starting around
4:08
July of next summer. And once that starts, that'll be like a whole
4:12
bunch of things going up all at one time, so it'll get real exciting.
4:14
The access road Jefferson Roads open up, very convenient to get out the
4:17
Lows and Target now, that's for sure. Yeah, I don't think I've
4:19
had you on since that access road open up. Talk about that a little
4:24
bit. I mean about the convenience of it. It's always kind of a
4:27
you know, growing pains for lack of a better term, till everybody kind
4:30
of gets used to it. But I was to there about a week and
4:32
a half or ago, I guess it was Mayor, and seemed like things
4:34
were running prety smoothly. Yeah, it is. And if you're coming from
4:38
particularly if you're coming from the west side of the county, South Charleston and
4:41
saying almost night so that are coming this way, it's so much easier now
4:44
to get to get to those shops there on that side and then coming out.
4:46
I look for this Christmas season because really, the big jam is in
4:51
the parking lot, to be honest. Yeah, obviously the heavy traffic on
4:54
Jefferson Road uh da dh. But again, now they're in a halfway decent
4:57
time. It's the parking lot to keep everybody logged down from. So now
5:00
that we have another access in and out, I think that's going to be
5:02
a tremendous help. Yeah, I think so too. What's just about this
5:05
Kroger come in over there? Well, as a told gentleman, he kind
5:10
of jumped the gun on that one a little bit. Now there's no secret
5:13
that we're talking to them, okay, And one of the reasons we're excited
5:15
about that is because it will be a Kroger marketplace, will be the first
5:17
marketplace in the state of West Virginia, so that makes it very attractive.
5:21
I think it looks really good. I'm not ready to tell you all for
5:25
short coming because we do not have a sign least with them. Yeah,
5:28
but thoks are going very well, and hopefully we'll make an announcement very such.
5:31
That's fair enough. That's fair enough in these Kroger Marketplace is a little
5:34
bit different because they're not just grocery. They offer a number of things.
5:38
So if if it happens, Mayor, which I think it's probably going to,
5:42
but if it happens, it's definitely going to be a great addition for
5:45
the folks there in South Charlest and the sourrounded areas. Mary. If you
5:47
live in South Charles or even if you don't, I would urge you to
5:49
follow the city. It's South Charlest's Facebook page. There's always a lot of
5:54
cool stuff going on. And whoever does your social media does a fantastic job
5:58
with it. Not going to give at to Randy Daniel for anything, but
6:01
I say, say his name, but probably somebody smarter than Randy does it.
6:05
I ran it's a good friend of mine. But one of the things
6:08
I noticed as I was preparing for the show, Mayor, and I was
6:10
looking over the social media, the Facebook page was not there for the city
6:14
is you got a whole lot of things going on ice this year, A
6:17
whole lot of ice things going on in South Charleston. Ice the ice bumper
6:23
cars, Mayor. Yeah, Yeah, the bumper cars have been a big
6:27
success. They've actually been out there now for what two or three years.
6:30
Yeah, they've been a big they've been a big they've been a big hit.
6:32
Uh, just something else to do on ice, and kids like it,
6:34
even if you moms and dad has come out with their little ones.
6:38
And it's kind of like bumper cars, as we know, it's the old
6:40
carrivals, you know, bumper cars, but bumper cars on ice. It's
6:42
a lot of fun. I was looking at some of the pictures and whatnot
6:46
from last night, as I said, when I was preparing for the segment
6:47
this morning, it looks like people were having a whole lot of fun there.
6:50
And it's and and people come from all around for these ice skating facilities
6:55
that you have in South Charleston. Yeah, and it does a lot of
6:57
other things. And we do a lot of other things out there, like
6:59
we had Aunt Retreat, We have a movie. We have a movie out
7:01
there that we put on a couple of times a year. So that iceery
7:04
is used for so it's kind of it's kind of a multitasker, you know.
7:09
It's a good attraction for us. It is. Indeed, again we're
7:11
talking with Frank Marlin's mayor of South Charleston here on Mayor of Monday. This
7:15
Saturday, Mayor is Small Business Saturday across America, and you're going to hear
7:17
be hearing me talk a lot about over the next couple of days because it's
7:20
something that I truly believe in. Small business is the backbone of America.
7:28
And South Charleston Mayor has got some fine places to shop for smaller and get
7:32
get to get on our phones and tablets and order things from Amazon or whatever.
7:35
Let's support a local business. We do that as a municipality. If
7:39
we can buy to South Charleston, we do. And so I hope folks
7:42
will get out there and support whether it be South Charleston, Light thro Charleston,
7:45
whatever it may be. Let's get out there and support those businesses.
7:46
They are our backbone. You're exactly right. I could not agree with you
7:49
more. Yeah. I was listening to the That's the Experts segment with Coop
7:55
a little bit earlier John Bernet, and they were talking about I think it's
7:57
something like sixty five percent of all Americans will do a great amount of their
8:01
holiday shopping online. And you know, this season and we get the convenience
8:05
of it, but you know, Amazon does not donate to your church.
8:11
Amazon does not donate to your school band. Let's just keep that in mind.
8:16
Yeah, let's keep that in mind. That's exactly right, and that's
8:18
good. That's another good point you made, Dave, because these small businesses
8:20
in our community as they are, they support our schools, our churches,
8:24
or other nonprofits in our city. To give back to our community, that's
8:26
where we go get our donations from. Those are the people to help us
8:30
out. So we got to help them out and give back. Yeah,
8:31
I agree with that. Finally, we'll wrap it up with this. Your
8:33
Christmas Parade is coming up December second noon on D Street. Full details on
8:39
that at your website to visit south Charleston dot com. But it's always a
8:43
great Christmas parade, Mayor, always a great parade. And Friday before that
8:46
on the first with you our tree lighting ceremony at the mound as well.
8:50
So that's just five point fifteen. I believe parade starts and new so Friday
8:54
and Saturday, both days, come on down, have a good time with
8:56
us, all right, Mayor is always it's a pleasure to have you to
9:00
show you and your family have a very very happy Thanksgiving and we'll be talking
9:03
to you probably before Christmas. Thanks a lot you do all the same day,
9:05
Thanks for having me all right again there Frank Mullins again, the mayor
9:09
of the City of South Charleston. Again. The Christmas parade is coming up
9:11
December second, with the tree lighting the day before that there at the Mouth
9:15
at South Charleston. Full of tales available at their website. Visit south Charleston
9:18
dot com again. Visit south Charleston dot com. And I truly mean that
9:22
when I said this was not me just kind of you know, talking nice
9:26
with the mayor there. If you can support these local businesses South Charleston,
9:30
you know wherever it is, because these are the folks that donate to your
9:35
causes, So keep that in mind. You don't get a whole lot of
9:37
that from Amazon. And those places are Carvon. As I hear my good
9:41
friend Larry Dawston talking about all the time. These are some backbone of America
9:45
folks, these small businesses, So get out there and support it, not
9:48
just during Christmas, year round and again Small Business Saturday is this Saturday every
9:52
community around here in the Canal Valley and surrounding areas across America really will be
9:56
doing things, especially for that. I know where I live, Huddion County.
10:00
They are I've got Ashley Offered Glance from the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce
10:03
coming on the show on Wednesday of this week to talk about that. So
10:07
support these small businesses. Tech says, the cowboys will be beating up the
10:11
commanders this Thanksgiving. Yes, yes we will. That'll make it for a
10:15
very very happy, happy Thanksgiving for me. The Dave Allan Show on five

14:24
all right, so you just tart slept and say, I mean,
14:26
it's not like you've been doing anything the last couple of days. It's been
14:30
relaxing taking I've seen the pictures posted online. Kid, I don't think you've
14:33
been relaxing a whole lot. Kevin Madison and Morgan Morrison for the Downtown Charles
14:39
Association to talk Holly Jolly Brawley. I'm kind of kidding with them because they
14:41
sent me a text like five was kind of like I walked out during the
14:45
break. I was like, okay, my guest turn here and I was
14:46
getting ready to call Morgan. Then I get a text from Kevin. It
14:50
says, we'll be there in five. We just overslept. No, not
14:52
we she you didn't oversleep. I was down there at seven forty five.
14:56
Brother, Okay, we sold the pictures. Yeah, they're incredible. I
15:01
mean, what's going to be going on there, Holly Jolly Bradley. It's
15:05
absolutely fantastic. And I'm giving you a hard time, Morgan, you know,
15:07
because you guys have been really, really busy. An army of how
15:11
many volunteers you got out here to make this thing happen. Oh there's a
15:13
thousands about just say thousands, thousands volunteers to the thousands were so there were
15:20
so many people in city Center and Brawley Walkway yesterday. The Christmas vibe was
15:26
there. People were helping each other, letting, the lending ladders. It
15:31
was really incredible. And just see all those amazing pictures on Facebook, just
15:35
from yesterday. It's just aw Well, in case folks may have missed you
15:37
guys on the show last week, give us the overall on Holly Jolly Bradley,
15:43
and then we'll get into these specifics. So I mean, holly jolly
15:46
Brawley. Basically we have almost ended up being one hundred and sixty I believe
15:52
Christmas trees. There are every tree sponsored by businesses and decorated. As far
15:56
as the two day event goes, we kick of our synchronized light show,
16:00
We have a city tree lighting, we have entertainment, live music, a
16:04
Christmas vendor village, a kid village. What else do we have here?
16:08
We have so much and it's a free event for the community to just come
16:14
out and joy next Friday and Saturday. I mean, this thing is absolutely
16:18
I mean how many years is this just a technically for the city. We
16:25
had a smaller scale down version four years ago. The city wanted to do
16:30
something you know during COVID that was you know, guideline friendly and things of
16:34
that nature, and then DCA you know, stepped in and again without the
16:40
help of the city like this couldn't be possible. But the first year we
16:42
had fifty trees. And then if you remember, shortly after that event,
16:47
Mayor Goodwin and Morgan we were all here and they agreed on air to do
16:51
one hundred trees last year and we did and this year we have a few
16:56
more we have a few more. You know, we just manifested a few
17:02
more. It was fine. So I think it'll just be a thing that
17:06
grows every year. And this year we really focused on making sure that we
17:10
could you know, perfect the craft basically, David, it's it has ended
17:15
up growing. We also have snow machines. I just want to throw that
17:17
out there, snow machines. So Brawley's even going to be snowy whether you
17:21
wanted to, whether you want snow or not. Because I don't think we're
17:22
going to have it naturally, we'll take it anyway. We can get it
17:25
in yeah, Christmas. So it's gonna be just It's one of those things
17:27
that feels like a Hallmark movie. And again we got Black Friday art Walk
17:33
going on downtown as well Saturday, Small Business Saturday. So the whole thing
17:37
is, you know, just come downtown and support businesses and tell them about
17:41
the trolley cuff the Holly Jolly Braley trolley there. Thank you. We want
17:45
to clarify so of course the Holow Jolly Brawley event is free of charge to
17:51
all those who come down, participate in the inflatables, the giant snow globe,
17:56
the Light Show. The Holow Jelly Brawley Trolley proudly brought to you by
18:00
the amazing people at KRT and again Mayor Goodwin's Office in the City of Charleston.
18:06
That trolley will run from four pm to ten pm every Friday, Saturday
18:10
and Sunday. That is free of charge. That will pick you up at
18:14
City Center Lee Street Triangle, will take you to Gomart Ballpark and then the
18:21
Capital Capital Market Village that they're doing the first three weekends in December, So
18:26
Holly Jolly Brawley is free of charge. The trolley's free of charge. If
18:30
you want to go down to Gomart Ballpark for the Soelango Dirty Birds Light the
18:34
Night probably presented by Gomart as well. You know, there's an additional fee
18:40
and you can check out their website for to get tickets at the box office
18:42
for all that stuff. A lot of people are sending us messages because I
18:47
believe Holly Jolly Brawley has been the catalyst to make Charleston like the Christmas Mecca
18:52
this year, and there's so many things going on, so they just assume
18:55
we're like, we know Ee's in charge of it all. We're just you
18:59
know, we're king and yes, yes, but you know, and when
19:04
we're happy to co promote Light the Night at the ballpark, Andy Sheha and
19:08
his team, Ben and uh Jay, I mean, they have really stepped
19:14
it up. I mean it's incredible. I would love to see it from
19:17
an airplane. I would love to see it from an airplane. But we
19:19
do need to make that distinction that you kind of pointed out, and I
19:22
saw some chatter on social media about that these are totally separate events. Although
19:26
you are happy to cross promote, they're promoting you Capital Markets. I mean
19:30
it's all together, it's not really altogether separate events. So yeah, they
19:33
get you know, people are asking us questions about what things caught like.
19:37
We honestly don't know all the exact details, but we are happy to cross
19:41
promote and we have put it together to whether there we'll be a trolley that
19:45
will hop from you know, Triangle the park to Capital Markets. Capital Markets
19:52
doing a Christmas village as well. So it's just amazing to me. I
19:56
mean again, guys, over the over the last couple days with thing out
20:00
over at the ballpark, I mean I have seen nothing but rave reviews on
20:04
this. I mean millions, literally millions of lights over there. I know
20:08
my man Woody was from my sister station. The Beat was over there,
20:11
and he was acting a fool like what he does in public. But it's
20:15
all good. Wood. He was out there and he posted pictures several other
20:19
wood he was ice skating. Yeah yeah, that shouldn't happen ever, but
20:23
he was out there on the skates and he was having a good time.
20:26
Had to ad his family out there, and that's really what this whole thing
20:30
is about, guys. It is just incredible. And you know, we
20:33
actually got a snak pick. Kevin sadly couldn't join, but he's been there
20:37
several other times. We met a joke. It's kind of like, you
20:38
know, we have such a diverse selection of Christmas. When you go there,
20:41
it's really like Las Vegas Strip, you know, casino, just high
20:47
energy, all the lights love it, completely different energy. And then you
20:51
can come downtown to like Holly Jolly Broaly and then it gives you like Stars
20:53
Hollow, Hallmark Christmas movie energy. So it's truly, it's just such a
20:59
great shouldn't have Because I think we were discussing it last time. People just
21:03
travel for Christmas destinations and it just already just the buzz from everybody coming downtown.
21:10
Yes, I mean yesterday morning just from decorating trees and everybody like you
21:14
know, just seeing Charleston sparked on their radar. I mean, every like
21:18
everywhere was packed downtown. I haven't seen downtown like that on a Sunday morning.
21:22
And Sunday morning we walked by Ellen's and you couldn't even line out the
21:26
door. And so you know that's it's just great. I think you know,
21:30
hot tides rise, all ships. Yeah, it's gonna be great exactly.
21:33
And again you and I, as you said, we talked about last
21:36
time you hear about people go to these places like I know they go to
21:38
Gallopolice, Ohio, they go up to Ogle Bay and Wheeling and places like
21:42
that. And now people, I mean with this and with what's going on
21:47
at the ballpark and Capital Market and even some of the surrounding. I just
21:49
had Frank Mullins on, you know, the mayor of South Charleston, about
21:52
what they've got going on over there. I mean, this is the place
21:56
to be for Christmas. If you're into the Christmas thing, this is the
21:59
place to be. And the Kenawh Valley here. That's that's the goal,
22:02
you know, and we have we've actually, you know, we've teamed up
22:04
with Jason Adams this year, so he'll actually be at the event. We'll
22:07
have amazing footage and like you know, films and stuff for the Internet on
22:12
the event. I think the CVB is doing something for promoting on all three
22:17
areas, so I think it's going to be phenomenal. And then we're also
22:21
investing in quality product to put out on the Internet for it to travel even
22:26
further. And so yeah, the goal is honestly just year after year to
22:30
grow, grow, grow exactly. And we're talking with Kevin Madison Morgan event.
22:33
I think the CBB is doing something for promoting on all three areas,
22:37
so I think it's going to be phenomenal. And then we're also investing in
22:41
quality product to put out on the Internet for it to travel even further.
22:47
And so yeah, the goal is honestly just year after year to grow,
22:49
grow, grow exactly. And we're talking with Kevin Mathison Morgan Morrison for the
22:53
Downtown Charles Association about Holly Jolly Brodt and now both of you guys outside your
22:59
what you're doing here. I mean you both run small businesses. Let's talk
23:03
about just a little bit kind of get away from Holly Jolly Brodley talk about
23:06
the importance of shopping, shopping, dining, whatever the case is. Local
23:10
this Hobbiday season in year round, it's extremely important. I mean these local
23:15
businesses down here, you know, Purple Moon Consignment Company, Pies and Pine
23:21
Hidelphia, Black Sheep, Rock City. We're the ones who step up to
23:26
support your kids' football teams, soccer teams, cheerleading squads, dance teams.
23:30
I'm to get people downtown and get them in these businesses, and you know
23:37
the hustle and bustle. I don't mind being on a way to Black Sheep
23:40
for four hours on Black Friday. Morgan doesn't mind the line out her door.
23:45
Do you know in his team Philadelphia don't mind being on a way for
23:48
three or four hours five street. It's kind of like a we're giving back.
23:52
We're giving back to the community because these small businesses support our community year
23:57
round and it's just that time of the year to give back. So Black
24:02
Friday, Art Walk, Small Business Saturday. Those are two important dates.
24:06
I mean, small businesses are the backbone of the community. And I believe,
24:10
you know, it's feast or famine down here for us, and so
24:12
we just want to do everything we can to help our small businesses, advocate
24:18
for them. I'm one myself, and we depend on that. I mean,
24:22
that's our livelihoods, Dave, And you know, I mean there's no
24:25
secret with inflation and everything else, that hasn't been easy. So I think
24:29
we're gunning even extra hard this year to just encourage everybody to support, you
24:33
know, buy the Christmas s gift at buck and bed or Kinship anywhere,
24:38
versus you know, ordering offline. Just get on the streets and support small
24:42
and have dinner at Hale House or Philadelphia or Noah's instead of the outbacks in
24:52
the Olive Gardens. And I do love the I do love so does the
24:57
Olive Garden on the ere all we all, we all love those places.
25:03
But I mean again and with all due respect to them, and many of
25:06
them are respect very respectable members of the community that that do do no,
25:11
Nate, but it's it's a lot more. You got a lot more invested
25:14
in it. If you go to one of those restaurants that you mentioned earlier,
25:17
or if you go to Rock City or any of those places. Absolutely.
25:22
I mean it's just, you know, I believe that any successful small
25:26
business that you still see with their doors open put their heart and soul into
25:30
it. And it's it's quite literally, like I don't have children, but
25:33
I have a really big one called Rock City, Like that's my child.
25:36
And so you don't have children, have cupcakes? Yeah, yeah, I
25:38
have a big old, seven thousand square foot building that I just love so
25:42
dearly. But no, we all just like live and breathe our business and
25:47
the passion and like behind the scenes stuff we put into it. I mean,
25:51
it's just really just there's not really words for it name and so I
25:56
just you know, all day long you just hear me preaching like support your
25:59
small business, love Christmas, and love each other. Like that's basically my
26:03
life motto. So it works. But Dave Valen showing five of any Life
26:07
is brought to a part by General Hardware Number of Windfield. From kitchens to
26:11
paints to decks, straight framing, wood, roofie, metal, and anything
26:14
else you need, you'll find it a General Hardware number of Windfield. Text
26:17
says Dave took my family over to light the night last night at the ballpark.
26:21
Go Mark Bark Go Mark Ballpark. Wow. Absolutely beautiful display and everyone
26:26
needs to attend experience this great display. Happy Thanksgiving, see awesome. It's
26:30
magical. It is, it is, and it's going to be a magical
26:33
when we do Holly Jolly Browley too. And so uh for those that are
26:38
listening because to the power of the interwebs. Now you know, people listen
26:41
to this show and others all over the place. It's not just a Charleston
26:45
show, I mean anymore. I got at least three listeners outside Charleston,
26:48
at least three. I just counted them big time. But why should people
26:55
come? Why should people come to this downtown Holly Jolly? Probably? Why
26:57
should they come? I mean, you know, multiple reasons, But why
27:02
not come is the better question. It's a free event. We've invested literally
27:06
thousands of dollars to all free. I mean there's nothing, there's not even
27:10
there's not even costs when you get in, Like it's free face painting free,
27:14
like alpine slide, free entertainment, Like there's no loopholes, Like everything
27:18
is free other than the vendors, of course, which are technically small businesses.
27:23
But I mean, just come out, you'll love it. You just
27:27
feel the feeling of nostalgia and Christmas and community and when it's just honestly a
27:32
feeling in the air when you get there, it is absolutely incredible and everybody's
27:37
just in such good spirits. It supports small businesses. It supports us as
27:41
an association to make sure that what we're doing is actually making a difference.
27:48
And it's not even though the event is technically next Friday and Saturday. It's
27:52
something that's up to the first of the year. So it's something that can
27:55
bring you downtown constantly. And I saw that's something posted to last time.
28:00
People were talking about coming down there taking pictures. Oh yeah, yeah,
28:02
yeah, I mean we I mean, we should invest stock in some of
28:06
these photographers. We had a dollar we're on every Christmas part at this month.
28:11
Well, I mean again, it's happening Friday and Saturday, and it's
28:15
after you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. Uh. Then it's an opportunity, you
28:19
know, for you to go out and to uh and and and and do
28:22
something fun. And it's kind of like you said, I could step back
28:25
in time a little bit, you know, to be able to go back
28:27
and enjoy the town, the town villages and the town village makes no sense
28:33
whatsoever. But but you know what I'm trying to say, good nostalgic.
28:36
Come on, I call it. Yeah, coming coming to downtown and supporting
28:40
these businesses. And again the show goes everywhere. So it's not you know,
28:44
we're talking about Charleston, but just as important to support him in Saint
28:47
Albans and South Charleston and Huntington and and and and then the hurricane and everywhere
28:51
where. People listening today, get out there and support those small business all
28:53
right. Yeah, I've got it posted on my Facebook page and on the
28:57
X the artists formally known as Twitter. Uh. The timeline, but again
29:00
give us the give us a timeline for everything on Friday into Saturday. All
29:04
right. So the event is twelve to eight. Black Friday Art Walk kicks
29:10
off at noon. Holiay Jolly Brawley kicks off at noon. Our holiday market
29:14
opens at noon. From noon to three, we're gonna have dj EJ doing
29:18
a little entertaining at the same time. From one to three, we're gonna
29:21
have Triple A Entertainment on Capitol Street providing entertainment for the West Manco Kid Zone
29:26
We've got some inflatables over there. We've got a forty foot l pine slide
29:30
that the folks at Kwantum Rentals ordered for us. It's amazing. Santa will
29:37
be on Capitol Street from five to eight on Friday, the official City Christmas
29:42
Tree lighting in City Centers at seven, and then we debut our expanded light
29:48
show at seven point fifteen and you can come back and enjoy Small Business Saturday.
29:52
Everything kicks off again at noon DJ EJ. We also can't forget that
29:59
we have you know, Bro Shalem. Though it's four to five thirties Bro
30:06
on Saturday, Shalem is six to seven on Small Business Saturday. We've got
30:11
the Redline Band in City Center from four to six on Friday. I mean,
30:15
there's all kinds of stuff to do all day long. When you get
30:19
and you can go to Purple Moon and find something really cool from that amazing
30:23
estate sale that Chuck and Connie. They have one of the best estate sales
30:27
coming up on Black Friday. It's incredible. Find something there, have lunch
30:33
somewhere downtown, get you a hot chocolate somewhere, and enjoys. It really
30:37
is set up day to where we set it up like twelve to eight sounds
30:41
like a long time, but there's so much to do in between. I
30:44
mean, just make a day of it, you know. If it ends
30:47
up being cold, we've got heaters and heaters. The haulag Jolly Brawley trolley's
30:51
heated too, and it's free and it'll take you to all of the events.
30:56
You can go to Dirty Birds Baseball, get your tickets or saloon and
31:00
go dirty Birds. Light the night, I mean, good night, come
31:04
down, good time. It's good times. And again I've got the schedule
31:07
of everything posted on my social media. You guys have got it out all
31:10
over the place too, So there is there like a really really good place
31:12
to go to see everything, like a website or so, what's the best
31:15
social media or whatever? Most of our updates are on Facebook, okay,
31:19
they really We try to update everything on Facebook. We do have a website
31:23
that tells you, you know, what Holly Jolly Brobably is and things like
31:26
that, but the best thing is just social media. Yeah, for us
31:30
at this very moment, sure, I guess go ahead, ken really quick.
31:33
Now, those of you that are if there's anybody out there listening,
31:37
and you and you purchase the tree this year. First of all, we
31:40
thank you. If you haven't made it down to decorate your tree yet,
31:44
we know our deadlines. Tomorrow. Weather's not looking great if you not for
31:48
tomorrow. After tomorrow, not for tomorrow. If you, yeah, weather
31:51
Friday and Saturday look incredible. But if you have a tree and you need
31:55
to decorate it, we highly recommend doing that. At some point today there
31:59
will be someone there with an event staff shirt to help you throughout the day.
32:01
Now, how does that work? You say, your tree? How
32:06
for those who don't know, including myself, exactly, how does that work?
32:07
What do you mean by your tree? From the local several of our
32:10
local businesses, I've got this list right here, you know, five pages
32:14
long. Everybody the business is signed up and they purchased the purchase the tree.
32:20
Okay, okay, And we have a you know, on the base.
32:23
It has their number, the QR code provided by the Charleston Convention and
32:28
Visitors Bureau and their tree number, and it's for voting purposes. When they
32:32
come and they decorate their tree that best suits you know, their brand or
32:37
their business model. And I'll tell you what people have stepped it up this
32:40
year. I feel sorry for Mayor Goodwin. She's got a hard task this
32:45
year to pick out the Mayor's Choice Award. There you go, guys.
32:50
I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to be here. Kevin,
32:53

32:58
I'm kidding. I'm kidding that right, I was. I did, I
33:00
will David, I completely overslept this way. It was a long time.
33:04
We were both out there late last night. We had like it was a
33:07
long day yesterday and I ended up getting roped into decorating the bakery until like
33:12
three am. And I'm just exhausted. The Christmas chair is keeping me awake
33:15
day, Yeah, is that what it is? Yeah? I'm fueled by
33:17
magic and coffee this something like that. All right, Kevin and Morgan,

37:30
hundred and that was as of I think late last night. The total number
37:32
of impacted. Did your local Hustins get a large eighteen inch pepperoni pizza and

37:42
A little programming note here coming up on the show tomorrow, State Senator
37:45
Amy Grady is going to be here. Also, Rick Cavander from Charleston Urban
37:50
Works will be here, and Tim Head from the Faith and Freedom Coalition will
37:54
be on the show tomorrow as well. No show Thursday, no show Friday,
37:59
do to things break. So Wednesday will be the final show and I'll
38:01
be back at it again next Monday. I want to talk a little this
38:07
morning about Senator Joe Manchin. Now, Hoppy has a great commentary about the
38:14
Senator this morning, and if you missed it, urge you to go read
38:19
it at wv Metronews dot com. And it has to do with the so
38:27
called Great Middle. Now, Senator Manchin says, since he is not running
38:36
for reelection, he will instead travel the country to see his words. Now
38:44
if he can tap into the great middle of America that is fed up with
38:51
the extreme politics of both parties. Again, I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically
38:54
what Senator Mansion said. Now, I understand he was on Meet the Press
38:58
yesterday. I didn't see that. I'm gonna try to go back and watch
39:00
that at another time, maybe later today. As Hoppy points out, the
39:07
polls have shown that a great number of Americans are simply fed up with both
39:17
sides and that they people in these polls no longer really fit the Democratic or
39:31
Republican parties. Now, now this is just my take, and take it
39:38
for what it's worth. Take my take for what it's worth. I don't
39:44
think that most people are ready to give up on the parties just yet,
39:52
but I think that most would like them to dial it back a little bit.
40:01
Now here's where I'm going with this. If you are a classic West
40:07
Virginia Democrat, and classic West Virginia Democrats tend to be pro life, pro
40:15
gun, pro cole the National Democrat Party, pro choice, anti gun,
40:23
anti fossil fuels. Now, obviously there are some variables in there, but
40:30
I think that by and large that's a pretty fair assessment. Now, if
40:37
you are a classic Republican, you tend to be, among other things,
40:42
pro military, smaller government, pro life, pro gun, profossil fuels,
40:46
etc. Et cetera. And the smaller government point I bring up because I
40:50
think it's really interesting that although one of the mantras, if you will,
40:54
of the Republican Party has been limited government, stay out of people's lives.
40:59
But there are or some within the Republican party that want more governments in your
41:06
life. But that's another story for another time. So I think that's where
41:12
most people who still identify with those parties land. And again there are variables,
41:22
but that's pretty much the way it is. A classic West Virginia Democrat,
41:29
as I see Senator Mansion being, they look around and they see what's
41:37
being represented on the national level and it probably doesn't match up with their belief
41:45
system. And that's why so many have switched parties to either Republican or Independent.
41:55
Now in West Virginia we see it's not just officeholders that are switching that
42:00
makes the news. You know when when when when Doug Scaff and I'm just
42:04
used Scaff as an example. Doug Scaff who was a couple of months ago
42:07
the House Minority leaders, switches parties to Republican, When Jim Justice switches from
42:12
Democrat to Republican. Those sorts of things make news. Doesn't always make news
42:16
when you know John that that works down at the at the garage switches party.
42:23
When when Mary who works at the restaurants doesn't not necessarily make news,
42:29
uh, but but they're switching that they're switching, and they're switching because they're
42:34
fed up with both parties perhaps, or maybe they find that the national Party
42:40
just doesn't line up with them anymore. You know the famous Ronald Reagan statement,
42:45
I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me. And
42:47
not to be outdone, I get texted the show from time to time for
42:52
people, albeit a very small number, that have left the Republican Party and
43:00
have gone either independent, nonpartisan, or have gone Democrat, much much much
43:05
smaller number, but it does, it does happen. And I have wondered
43:14
aloud if a and I've even brought it up on the show, if a
43:17
John F. Kennedy or even a Bill Clinton would be welcome in the modern
43:25
Democrat Party. And Greg Thomas and I talked about this on the show last
43:32
week. This situation in Israel is a perfect example of that. This situation
43:40
in Israel is going to be very problematic come election time. I don't think
43:46
necessarily in West Virginia, but on a nationwide level, it's going to be
43:52
very problematic for the Democratic Party. As if they didn't already have enough issues
43:57
the situation in Israel. Many Democrats, many do not go along with the
44:06
Biden administration support of Israel, and again I think that's going to be very
44:12
problematic for a lot of Democrats. Again not necessarily in West Virginia, but
44:15
in next year's elections. Now, as for the Republicans, there are a
44:23
lot of Republicans out there who look around at the National Republican Party and they
44:30
see Donald Trump, Matt Gates, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc. And they
44:35
say, there's no way, there's no way those people represent me present company
44:40
included in that as a Republican. So there is a middle out there somewhere.
44:49
But good luck, good luck with Joe Manchin trying to defind it.
44:57

48:52
Manchin is a really smart politician. The last thing he wanted on his resume
48:55
was being beat by Big Daddy Mansion. Was not looking for reading the book
49:00
Baby Dog Goes to Washington. According to a Texter Texas Dave, I'm curious
49:08
as to how a water line punctured and filled a gas line. Do you
49:10
think we'll get an answer to that. Well, there's going to be a
49:13
lot of questions come out of this, a whole lot, a whole lot
49:15
of questions answered supposely and again, West Virginia American water, in my opinion
49:21
and the words of Ricky Ricardo got some splaining to do. I really do
49:25
believe that Texas, the classic Wes Virginia Democrat, was physically liberal and socially
49:30
conservative. Will flip in West Virginia had to state physically and socially conservative?
49:35
Or do you think West Virginia still like government spending. I don't know what
49:45
that means, all right, Texa, says Dave Dunbar. Soccer fields jam
49:49
packed this past weekend, Dirty Bird's Park packed. Wonder what negative response Tar
49:53
has about people coming to our towns. I don't know. I will talk
49:59
to Senator Tara. I don't think he's gonna have a whole lot negative By
50:00
the way, anybody that doesn't think that sports tourism I know, anytime we
50:06
talked about sports tourism on this show, we have people that say, oh,
50:08
they're putting money into a ball field. Yeah, well over a million
50:10
dollars at the last tournament came into local economy. So yeah, it's a
50:15
real thing. Tex says Trump supports Amas, not good. Tex says the
50:22
great middle can't be bothered to vote for mansion in West Virginia. West Virginia
50:27
is too extreme to be reasonable and will stay this way until the GOP hits
50:30
rock bottom. They are heading that way fast with their adoration of a sex
50:34
abuser. Texas Republican voter registration in West Virginia thirty nine percent. The GOP
50:38
is a minority rule party. All uniquely Republican ideas are unpopular. According to
50:45
a texture, Texas says, just killed a nice buck while listening to your
50:49
show. Well, I feel like that for the buck, but hey,
50:53
more power. I don't know if it was with a car or a with
50:58
a gun, but regardless, congratulations to that Texter. Let me finish up
51:04
by saying this. The majority of Americans say they don't want Biden or Trump
51:08
to be the nominee for president, but they are going to be the nominees,
51:15
which is sad in my opinion. And the more Trump loses in court,
51:21
the more popular more indictments to get, the more popular he becomes.
51:24
So all right, we'll leave it there, all right, gotta go.
