Speaker 3: in and West Virginia State University of course is bringing
2:11
Speaker 3: in classes as well. All kinds of things that are
2:13
Speaker 3: going over there. The President and the First Lady helped
2:15
Speaker 3: students move in just this past week. State Stride is
2:18
Speaker 3: coming up next week, so we're going to talk about
2:19
Speaker 3: those things with West Virginia State University. And I'm going
2:22
Speaker 3: to remind you a little bit that has to do
2:23
Speaker 3: with West Virginia State sports. If you didn't know, West
2:26
Speaker 3: Virginia State football and basketball are going to be on
2:28
Speaker 3: our sister station ninety eight one O seven to three
2:31
Speaker 3: the Beat. You'll be able to find West Virginia State
2:33
Speaker 3: sports on there throughout the year. They have a play
2:37
Speaker 3: by play announcer that works here. You might have heard
2:38
Speaker 3: anyone in the morning news. The last couple of weeks,
2:41
Speaker 3: Daniel Woods will be doing the play by play. Tom Bragg,
2:44
Speaker 3: familiar here on the stations, will be doing the color
2:46
Speaker 3: commentary for West Virginia State football that will be coming
2:49
Speaker 3: up at the end of this month. So I'm going
2:51
Speaker 3: to talk a little bit about that with President Cage
2:54
Speaker 3: when he comes in, and much of other things that
2:57
Speaker 3: are going on at West Virginia State University as.
3:00
Speaker 4: To start for this school year.
3:02
Speaker 3: Also, before we wrap up here today, I had a
3:05
Speaker 3: guest that was going to come in here to do
3:06
Speaker 3: some live music for us. That was my original plan
3:09
Speaker 3: and unfortunately last night that fell through for me, and
3:12
Speaker 3: scrambling around a little bit this morning, I was not
3:14
Speaker 3: able to get someone else to come in.
3:15
Speaker 4: To do music.
3:15
Speaker 3: So what I want to do is yesterday on Hotline
3:19
Speaker 3: and if you don't listen to the afternoon show, I
3:20
Speaker 3: thought this would be a great opportunity to give you
3:22
Speaker 3: an idea of what we do sometimes on that afternoon
3:24
Speaker 3: show with Dave Weekly and me. Yesterday Dave had the
3:27
Speaker 3: opportunity to talk to David Mayfield. I hate to introduce
3:30
Speaker 3: another David into this row of David's that we have
3:33
Speaker 3: on the program, but Dave Allen is off, so Dave
3:36
Speaker 3: David Mayfield can step in. David Mayfield, a singer and
3:39
Speaker 3: songwriter on his own, has been with tons of bands.
3:42
Speaker 3: He has played with the Avid Brothers, Mumford and Sons.
3:45
Speaker 3: Now he has the David Mayfield Jukebox Experience. He's the
3:47
Speaker 3: host of Mountain Stage. Kathy Mateya and Larry Gross are
3:51
Speaker 3: not hosting this weekend at the Culture's Inn here in Charleston. Instead,
3:54
Speaker 3: It's going to be It's going to be David Mayfield
3:57
Speaker 3: and we had the opportunity to interview him yesterday on
4:01
Speaker 3: hotline Dave Weekly did and as well as preview this
4:03
Speaker 3: upcoming show on Saturday and play a couple clips of
4:06
Speaker 3: the songs. So since I couldn't bring you live music
4:08
Speaker 3: this morning, that's what I wanted to do. I'm going
4:09
Speaker 3: to replay that interview. It's only about ten minutes long,
4:11
Speaker 3: but it gives you a nice snapshot of what's going
4:13
Speaker 3: to be happening this weekend when it comes to Mountain Stage.
4:15
Speaker 3: There's still tickets available, so I thought that might be
4:17
Speaker 3: something interesting for us to get to. So without further ado, though,
4:20
Speaker 3: we have some we have a pooch that we're hoping
4:22
Speaker 3: to adopt. So we want to talk to Angie killen
4:23
Speaker 3: Water now from the Canal Charleston Humane Association.
4:27
Speaker 4: Angie, good morning. How you doing this morning?
4:30
Speaker 5: I'm doing really good.
4:31
Speaker 4: That is fantastic.
4:33
Speaker 3: It's Friday, so that always takes it up a couple
4:35
Speaker 3: and then naches as far as feeling good.
4:37
Speaker 5: Usually absolutely Yeah. Every week we're shooting for Friday.
4:44
Speaker 3: That's pretty much everybody ex there for those I guess
4:45
Speaker 3: it works through the weekend. Dave sent me a picture
4:50
Speaker 3: of the dog this morning. It's over on our Facebook
4:52
Speaker 3: page at five adwchs. This cute little puppy. His name
4:54
Speaker 3: is Copper. What can you tell us about Copper?
4:57
Speaker 5: So Copper. If you're a hound blover, Copper is the
5:00
Speaker 5: dog for you. I did tell Dave last night you
5:04
Speaker 5: will definitely hear Copper before you see him at our shelter.
5:08
Speaker 5: He loves to just go to our playards and how
5:11
Speaker 5: but he's great with other dogs, He's great with kids.
5:14
Speaker 5: He actually had a little playdate with one of our
5:16
Speaker 5: fosters and her very young son yesterday and did fabulous
5:19
Speaker 5: with him. But he is still a puppy himself. He's
5:23
Speaker 5: less than a year old and he's probably about sixty
5:26
Speaker 5: ish pounds, so he's a very big boy. But he's
5:30
Speaker 5: definitely worth adopting. He's also sponsored by Ellen's ice Creams
5:36
Speaker 5: and so zero dollars to take.
5:38
Speaker 3: Home and that sounds fantastic. What can you tell me
5:42
Speaker 3: about his personality? Pretty playful? And I know you said
5:45
Speaker 3: he's a he's a hound, so obviously you want to
5:48
Speaker 3: hear him pretty playful around other animals, around kids.
5:51
Speaker 4: How does how does he shape up with that?
5:53
Speaker 5: So he's got what we call a social butterfly personality
5:56
Speaker 5: in the shelter. He does not have any weird quirks,
5:59
Speaker 5: like he's afraid of men or you know, people with
6:02
Speaker 5: hats on, anything like that. He is pretty social with
6:05
Speaker 5: everyone he meets. And in our playyards he doesn't really
6:09
Speaker 5: necessarily play with the other dogs, but he does go
6:13
Speaker 5: out there and he definitely howls a lot.
6:17
Speaker 3: Well, that's there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. In these
6:20
Speaker 3: sweet little dogs. They need to be adopted, and you said,
6:22
Speaker 3: and being sponsored by Ellen's ice Cream, So that means
6:25
Speaker 3: it's basically a free adoption, Is that right?
6:27
Speaker 5: Yeah? Pretty much. You may have to pay for city
6:31
Speaker 5: or county pigs if you live in the city of
6:33
Speaker 5: Charleston or in Knawk County, but other than that, he
6:37
Speaker 5: is zero dollars to take home. Will neuter him, vaccinate him,
6:40
Speaker 5: be worm deeply, and micro chip him for pretty much
6:43
Speaker 5: free for you man.
6:45
Speaker 4: That is that is great news.
6:47
Speaker 3: And so if folks have any questions, they can give
6:49
Speaker 3: you guys a call. That's three zero four three four
6:50

Speaker 10: an opportunity for us to double down on our mission
15:05
Speaker 10: of transforming lives excellence in education.
15:08
Speaker 4: So I think my message is it's.
15:10
Speaker 10: Time to lean in and lean in in a way
15:13
Speaker 10: that it's going to be impactful, a way that it's
15:16
Speaker 10: going to help us to again move West Virginia State
15:20
Speaker 10: University to the next level.
15:21
Speaker 3: I don't know, you probably don't know this, but I've
15:23
Speaker 3: hired out of the Broadcast school over there. I've hired
15:28
Speaker 3: well young Ryan in here as a graduate. I have
15:31
Speaker 3: a couple more people that are on staff already now.
15:34
Speaker 3: I've hired prolifically out of West Virginia State in the
15:36
Speaker 3: past and always works out well.
15:38
Speaker 4: I'm glad to hear that.
15:39
Speaker 10: Of course, as you know, Dale, I mean West Virginia
15:41
Speaker 10: State University is proud to have ten thousand alumni just
15:45
Speaker 10: in the canav Valley alone. So no matter where you go,
15:49
Speaker 10: what profession you're in, what community you're in, you're going
15:52
Speaker 10: to find someone who is a West Virginia State University alumni.
15:55
Speaker 10: And it speaks to our impact and our presence in
15:57
Speaker 10: this valley.
15:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely true, There's no question about that. Since I've
16:00
Speaker 3: been I've been back in West Virginia since twenty ten,
16:03
Speaker 3: and just the expansion of the footprint of the public outreach,
16:09
Speaker 3: the messaging that the top of mind awareness type of thing.
16:12
Speaker 3: I mean, it's I don't even know if it's a
16:14
Speaker 3: if you can even determine what the factor of impact
16:18
Speaker 3: has been, but it's been significant just in the fifteen
16:20
Speaker 3: years that I've been back.
16:20
Speaker 4: There's no question about it.
16:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, certainly the impact, there's no secret there.
16:24
Speaker 10: It's our people. We are a small institution, but we
16:28
Speaker 10: have an incredible impact and that is because of the
16:31
Speaker 10: dedicated faculty, staff, administrators, and community of supporters who stand
16:36
Speaker 10: behind our university. As a proud Land Grant university, we
16:40
Speaker 10: have a mission that extends across the entire state of
16:42
Speaker 10: West Virginia, and we are proud of the contributions that
16:45
Speaker 10: we make and we appreciate everyone who stands behind our institution.
16:49
Speaker 3: Next Thursday is State Stride. It's a major tradition at
16:51
Speaker 3: Westernion State University. I've never I didn't go to Western
16:55
Speaker 3: US State University, so I hear the alums talk about it.
16:58
Speaker 3: I know it's a big deal. What is State Stride?
17:00
Speaker 3: What can incoming freshmen expect?
17:02
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean again, as I've echoed here, we are
17:05
Speaker 10: a family. We're a family at West Virginia State University,
17:08
Speaker 10: and when you come to our institution, you are embraced.
17:12
Speaker 10: And what State Stride does is it gives our new
17:15
Speaker 10: students and opportunity to be formally welcome to the state family.
17:20
Speaker 10: We are going to begin the State Stride, of course,
17:24
Speaker 10: with a pep talk, so to speak for me as
17:27
Speaker 10: a president, I'll talk about what it means to be
17:29
Speaker 10: part of state, what it means to be starting your education.
17:33
Speaker 10: We're going to instill a sense of pride in our students.
17:35
Speaker 10: And after that we're going to have a bit of
17:37
Speaker 10: a parade. All of our new students are going to
17:40
Speaker 10: march down Campus Walk or College Walk, and they are
17:44
Speaker 10: going to march down and we're going to have faculty
17:47
Speaker 10: and staff and alumni line they're cheering them on as
17:51
Speaker 10: they begin their academic journeys at West Virginia State University.
17:55
Speaker 10: So it's really a celebration and I certainly invite you
17:59
Speaker 10: and others to come and join.
18:01
Speaker 3: This is such a great tradition because this is one
18:02
Speaker 3: of those things with a lot of these with a
18:04
Speaker 3: lot of these students that are coming in, I mean,
18:07
Speaker 3: college is a big step in in into their next
18:09
Speaker 3: the next progression of their life, whatever it might be,
18:12
Speaker 3: and something like the Stride event, it helps marry them
18:16
Speaker 3: into their family, their their new family at school. It
18:18
Speaker 3: helps get them involved with the teachers, with the faculty,
18:21
Speaker 3: They get to see some of their some of their classmates,
18:24
Speaker 3: and it just gets you, I guess, kind of bought
18:26
Speaker 3: in to the culture and to the to the spirit
18:28
Speaker 3: of the school.
18:29
Speaker 10: That's right, and we do have a really really rich history,
18:32
Speaker 10: strong legacy at West Virginia State University. And the thing
18:36
Speaker 10: that I impress upon our students, in addition to telling
18:39
Speaker 10: them the university's commitment to their success, the university's commitment
18:43
Speaker 10: to standing behind them, it's again to instill that sense
18:46
Speaker 10: of pride, to let them know that they are becoming
18:49
Speaker 10: part of something special, an institution that has had an
18:52
Speaker 10: incredible impact not just on the Kanaw Valley, but across
18:56
Speaker 10: the state of West Virginia. Our alumni have really gone
18:59
Speaker 10: on to change the world. Alumni like Katherine Johnson, who
19:02
Speaker 10: we all know who helped America win the space race
19:05
Speaker 10: and she got her education at West Virginia State. So
19:08
Speaker 10: we try to impress upon our students to be proud
19:11
Speaker 10: of the fact that you are a Yellowjacket because you
19:13
Speaker 10: are joining a rich tradition, a tradition that will help
19:17
Speaker 10: you change your lives again through excellence and education.
19:21
Speaker 3: Man, what a great message, What a great message for
19:23
Speaker 3: students and for the parents of those students, for people
19:25
Speaker 3: that are looking to enroll. Well, too late to enroll now,
19:27
Speaker 3: I guess, but I forgot. I was already fact checked
19:32
Speaker 3: on that one.
19:32
Speaker 4: That's right.
19:33
Speaker 10: It is not too late to enroll again. Classes begin
19:36
Speaker 10: on Monday. So if you were interested in coming in
19:38
Speaker 10: West Virginia State, we encourage you to come today or
19:41
Speaker 10: to come next week and we will get you signed
19:43
Speaker 10: up and get you.
19:44
Speaker 4: Ready to What is the actual deadline.
19:46
Speaker 10: Well, I mean again, Monday is the first day of classes.
19:49
Speaker 10: Ideally we would like students to be signed up on
19:53
Speaker 10: Monday at least, because you know, we don't want you
19:55
Speaker 10: to get behind your academic studies. But but come see
19:58
Speaker 10: us today or next week and we will definitely get
20:01
Speaker 10: you registered and ready to go.
20:02
Speaker 3: See that's how it's done, though, we'll find a way
20:04
Speaker 3: to make it work.
20:05
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
20:06
Speaker 3: Was just told about a new cybersecurity program that you
20:08
Speaker 3: receive final approval for as a four year bachelor's Greek program.
20:12
Speaker 3: This is an important type of program to add because
20:14
Speaker 3: what we're seeing is modern classes for modern concerns and
20:18
Speaker 3: things like that.
20:19
Speaker 4: Well, can you tell me about this?
20:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, I can tell you that we are super excited
20:23
Speaker 10: about cybersecurity at West Virginia State University. And as you
20:27
Speaker 10: just say it, Dell, we have now received final approval
20:32
Speaker 10: to offer a four year Bachelors of Science degree in
20:36
Speaker 10: cybersecurity at West Virginia State University. It's been a labor
20:39
Speaker 10: of love. We have worked on this program for almost
20:42
Speaker 10: three years now and we have seen it through its
20:44
Speaker 10: infancy and now we are ready to welcome students into
20:49
Speaker 10: a cybersecurity program, a program that is very much designed
20:53
Speaker 10: to prepare students for the high demand career fiel up cybersecurity.
20:58
Speaker 10: We know cybersecurity is the future, and as president, I
21:02
Speaker 10: am committed to making sure that our university is offering
21:06
Speaker 10: programs that are aligned with workforce needs, and cybersecurity definitely
21:10
Speaker 10: checks that box. At West Virginia State University, we are
21:15
Speaker 10: the only school in West Virginia to receive a megan
21:18
Speaker 10: dollars from Google to start a googlew Cybersecurity clinic and
21:22
Speaker 10: drew that clinic. Our students are actually helping small businesses
21:25
Speaker 10: here in this valley assess their infrastructure it infrastructure to
21:30
Speaker 10: make sure it's hardened so that they can protect themselves
21:32
Speaker 10: from cyber attacks from around the world. So cybersecurity, it's
21:37
Speaker 10: a big day for cyber at West Virginia State University.
21:40
Speaker 10: Our programs are going to integrate AI and agriculture, so
21:43
Speaker 10: it's definitely going to be something unique. I encourage anyone
21:46
Speaker 10: who is listening to me, who is interested interested in cybersecurity,
21:50
Speaker 10: come see us at West Virginia State University and become
21:52
Speaker 10: part of something special.
21:53
Speaker 3: It's really exciting to have such a modern a degree
21:56
Speaker 3: that's available, and I'm assuming downstream that's going to open
21:59
Speaker 3: up internship opportunities, research opportunities and obviously an expansion into
22:04
Speaker 3: career fields and things like that. I mean, that's massively important,
22:07
Speaker 3: and we need to try to keep some of those
22:08
Speaker 3: people here at home. I mean, if we're looking to
22:09
Speaker 3: expand educating them here at home is going to help
22:12
Speaker 3: that they don't go out of state. Makes it a
22:13
Speaker 3: lot harder to or it makes it easier to keep
22:15
Speaker 3: them here. And then this isn't something that you can
22:18
Speaker 3: just walk into a tex Score or something and get
22:20
Speaker 3: or a technicals Well, you need to go to a
22:23
Speaker 3: college this This is a four year degree. So this is
22:25
Speaker 3: something that's going to be massively important for the future
22:27
Speaker 3: of our technical infrastructure. I mean everything around us. You
22:30
Speaker 3: mentioned AI a moment ago AI is great, but that's
22:32
Speaker 3: going to require a whole new level of cybersecurity, you know.
22:35
Speaker 3: I mean, there's so much that plays into that. Very important.
22:37
Speaker 10: It is very important, and the thing that I will
22:41
Speaker 10: say is that we want all of our students again
22:44
Speaker 10: to have access to this high demand feel Again, we
22:49
Speaker 10: believe that cybersecurity, as I said, is the future, and
22:52
Speaker 10: we want that education to be accessible to as many
22:56
Speaker 10: students as possible here in this valley. The point that
22:59
Speaker 10: you may about wanting to keep students here. The good
23:02
Speaker 10: news about West Virginia State is that the majority of
23:04
Speaker 10: our students are from West Virginia and when they graduate,
23:07
Speaker 10: they stay right here.
23:08
Speaker 3: So important to West Virginia. Yeah, that's so important to
23:10
Speaker 3: keep our talent here at home. And I'd like to
23:12
Speaker 3: see that at a text with a question, See, I
23:15
Speaker 3: have two questions off the text line. Does West Virginia
23:18
Speaker 3: State University offer remote classes for working parents?
23:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we do have an inventory of online programs.
23:26
Speaker 10: I would encourage your listener to visit our website and
23:30
Speaker 10: check out our Academic Affairs page and there you will
23:33
Speaker 10: see a listening of listing of online courses that are
23:36
Speaker 10: geared toward working, working.
23:38
Speaker 3: Professionals, and then they can find the same information there.
23:41
Speaker 3: I'm sure, but also curious if any of the classes
23:44
Speaker 3: lead to a veterinarian degree.
23:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, not yet, Dale, I will say one of the
23:49
Speaker 10: things that we are working on, because again we are
23:52
Speaker 10: a land grand institution in agriculture is an important part
23:55
Speaker 10: of who we are. We are working to stand up
23:58
Speaker 10: a VET tech program and we're doing that in cooperation
24:01
Speaker 10: with West Virginia University and the West Virginia Department of Agriculture.
24:05
Speaker 10: We're working to identify funding, but ultimately we want to
24:08
Speaker 10: provide that program for that students can pursue a degree
24:12
Speaker 10: in veterinary and technicians education and go out and help
24:16
Speaker 10: our vets serve our animals across the state.
24:21
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk about sports for just a minute
24:23
Speaker 3: for a couple of reasons. Number one, I think the
24:25
Speaker 3: most important reason for this station anyway is our sister station,
24:29
Speaker 3: Woody Wood Station one who seven three. The Beat is
24:31
Speaker 3: going to be the home for West Virginia State sports
24:33
Speaker 3: for this upcoming season for football and basketball. So that's
24:35
Speaker 3: going to get underway very soon. Sure, I know what.
24:38
Speaker 3: He is massively excited to be putting on this to
24:41
Speaker 3: get it out on the airwaves. And man, I love
24:44
Speaker 3: the MEC. I love the sports that we have here
24:46
Speaker 3: in the valley, and I'm really looking forward to this.
24:48
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a neat partnership.
24:49
Speaker 10: It's going to be a phenomenal partnership. Dell and we
24:52
Speaker 10: are so excited to be joining The Beat here to
24:57
Speaker 10: have our basketball and football game games on air. It's
25:02
Speaker 10: going to be huge for us because what we really
25:05
Speaker 10: are excited about is getting Yellowjacket athletics in the homes
25:11
Speaker 10: of all of your listeners, because we believe that our
25:14
Speaker 10: athletes are coaches and all of our university do an
25:17
Speaker 10: excellent job of competing on the field and also in
25:22
Speaker 10: the classroom. But this is an opportunity to shine a
25:24
Speaker 10: bright light on the remarkable job that our athletes do.
25:29
Speaker 10: We're excited for the partnership and I look forward to
25:32
Speaker 10: tuning in as well when I can't be at the
25:34
Speaker 10: games in person.
25:35
Speaker 3: And that's what's going to make it so great, as
25:36
Speaker 3: you'll be able to do that if you're not not
25:38
Speaker 3: be able to make the games in person, and not
25:39
Speaker 3: just the history of sports and not only at West
25:42
Speaker 3: Virginia State in the NEC and then formerly in the
25:44
Speaker 3: wvi I A C. I remember when I was a
25:47
Speaker 3: kid in the in the eighties, my aunt had tickets.
25:51
Speaker 3: She would always get tickets to the wvi AC tournament
25:53
Speaker 3: here down. Her and her husband were graduates of mors
25:56
Speaker 3: or UC of UC and so they were big UC fans.
25:58
Speaker 3: But we would go in there, and we I mean
26:00
Speaker 3: we went. We would we would take the rod Man,
26:02
Speaker 3: we would go for the entire tournament. Just about State
26:04
Speaker 3: would be in there. Uh you know, I remember State,
26:07
Speaker 3: you see for some reason wheeling I think was because
26:09
Speaker 3: of their uniforms back in the time. I just remember,
26:12
Speaker 3: you know, certain certain teams that would be playing. But
26:14
Speaker 3: I just love the the the excitement and uh and
26:18
Speaker 3: everything that came along with that. And it's only grown
26:20
Speaker 3: since then. I mean since the wv A a C turned
26:23
Speaker 3: into the NBC. MEC has expanded some. And I mean
26:26
Speaker 3: State has a pretty good position in both football and
26:28
Speaker 3: basketball right now. Got great coaches, a good program. It's
26:31
Speaker 3: a good place to be. It's a phenomenal place to be.
26:33
Speaker 3: And surely as we kick off the football season, I
26:37
Speaker 3: know that coach Pennington is is fired up and ready
26:41
Speaker 3: to go. In the evenings, my wife and I will
26:44
Speaker 3: walk campus and we walked past the football field and
26:48
Speaker 3: we will see our our yellowjackets and our coaching staff
26:51
Speaker 3: down there getting ready, getting ready to compete. And I
26:54
Speaker 3: know it's going to be a phenomenal season, which is
26:56
Speaker 3: really going to be enhanced with this partnership with the Beat.
27:00
Speaker 3: Just briefly to tell our listening audience and possibly President
27:04
Speaker 3: Gae Cage if he didn't know, we have Daniel Woods
27:07
Speaker 3: is going to be our playboy play announcer for this.
27:09
Speaker 3: Tom Bragg is going to be color commentary for football.
27:13
Speaker 3: The combined knowledge of ma AC and WVI I C
27:16
Speaker 3: history among those two are incredible. So there's gonna be
27:19
Speaker 3: great context given to the Playboy play as well. They
27:22
Speaker 3: know the teams, the players, the areas. It's going to
27:24
Speaker 3: be that with that broadcast team that we're inserting in there.
27:27
Speaker 3: It's pro level broadcast right away. It's going to be
27:30
Speaker 3: done right, and it's going to sound really really good.
27:32
Speaker 4: We can't lose.
27:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Really looking forward to that.
27:35
Speaker 3: All the great stuff that's going on at West Virginia
27:37
Speaker 3: State University at the beginning of this new school year,
27:39
Speaker 3: and I just think it's a deciding time and I
27:41
Speaker 3: wanted to take a couple of moments to talk to
27:43

Speaker 3: great stuff that's coming up on Metro News Hotline later

Speaker 3: on this afternoon. A great weekend show. I hope that
32:56
Speaker 3: when we do our Friday show, I hope that you
32:58
Speaker 3: will tune into that you've not given it a chance before,
33:01
Speaker 3: which leads me into something that I thought that we
33:04
Speaker 3: could do here today. By the way, I wanted to
33:06
Speaker 3: remind you that the favety Live is brought to you
33:09
Speaker 3: in part by Meek's Rentals and Leasing, offering stress free
33:11
Speaker 3: property management for both renters and property owners Visit meets
33:15
Speaker 3: rentals dot com. So I was thinking about Hotline today
33:19
Speaker 3: when I came on the show, and I think I
33:21
Speaker 3: mentioned that I had a musical guest. I was going
33:23
Speaker 3: to try to do some live music, and unfortunately that
33:25
Speaker 3: fell through, and after reaching out to a couple places,
33:28
Speaker 3: I decided what I was going to do is I'm
33:30
Speaker 3: just going to replay the interview that Dave Weekly had
33:33
Speaker 3: with David Mayfield. David Mayfield is going to be hosting
33:35
Speaker 3: Mountain Stage this weekend, and this is an interview that
33:39
Speaker 3: took place yesterday during the show, and I thought that
33:41
Speaker 3: it would be interesting to have this on here. Number One,
33:43
Speaker 3: we have Mountain Stage on every single week. We've done
33:46
Speaker 3: this for well over a decade now. Larry Gross was
33:50
Speaker 3: a mainstay for the longest time. Kathy Matteya is a
33:53
Speaker 3: guest almost every week at Thursday at four o'clock, and
33:57
Speaker 3: then David Mayfield when he fills in as our guest
34:00
Speaker 3: as well, which he was yesterday. But we've done this
34:02
Speaker 3: segment on Hotline for well over a decade where we
34:05
Speaker 3: preview upcoming shows, talk to the great talent from Mountain Stage,
34:10
Speaker 3: whether it be Larry, whether it be David or Kathy Matteya,
34:12
Speaker 3: get stories out of them, have them share a little
34:14
Speaker 3: bit about themselves some of their experiences, and then also
34:17
Speaker 3: talk a lot about Mountain Sage. It's one of the
34:18
Speaker 3: favorite segments that we do on Hotline every weekend, and
34:21
Speaker 3: yesterday they've had an opportunity to talk to David Mayfield
34:25
Speaker 3: and they're talking about the show that's coming up this
34:27
Speaker 3: August or this this August, this Saturday, that's gonna happen
34:33
Speaker 3: at at the Culture Center Theater here in Charleston at
34:36
Speaker 3: seven o'clock. And the lineup is a is a darn
34:38
Speaker 3: good lineup they're gonna have. So I can get the
34:41
Speaker 3: full have it over on my notes here. It's gonna
34:45
Speaker 3: be a good lineup they're gonna have there this weekend.
34:47
Speaker 3: It's Amethyst Kea, Matt Anderson, Margaret Glass by Vanessa Collier
34:53
Speaker 3: and Ron Sowell.
34:54
Speaker 4: We have within this clip.
34:56
Speaker 3: That we're getting ready to play, we do have clips
34:58
Speaker 3: from Vanessa Collier, Ron Soul. So I'm looking forward to
35:01
Speaker 3: bringing this to you. If you haven't listened to Hotline
35:04
Speaker 3: with Day Weekly and Me that comes on in the
35:06
Speaker 3: afternoons at three o'clock, this will give you a little
35:07
Speaker 3: bit of an idea, and especially if you haven't heard
35:09
Speaker 3: of this segment we do with Mountain Stage because I
35:11
Speaker 3: always have a good time with that. It's always great
35:13
Speaker 3: to have Larry grosson here or Kathy Mateya when they're available,
35:16
Speaker 3: and David of course is awesome as well, so well,
35:18
Speaker 3: I want to go ahead and play that now. This
35:19
Speaker 3: is Dave Weekly with David Mayfield from Mountain Stage, previewing
35:22
Speaker 3: this weekend's concert coming up at the Cultural Center here
35:25
Speaker 3: in Charleston.
35:26
Speaker 8: And let's bring David Mayfield back to the show. He's
35:30
Speaker 8: going to be hosting Mountain Stage subbon in for Kathy
35:33
Speaker 8: Mateya Hey, David, how you doing.
35:35
Speaker 15: I'm doing well, Dave? How are you?
35:37
Speaker 8: Hey man? Are you the kind of guy that's got
35:38
Speaker 8: a lot of bumper stickers on your car?
35:40
Speaker 15: You know, I don't have any bumper stickers on my car.
35:43
Speaker 15: I've got about a fifty of them on my guitar case.
35:46
Speaker 8: Ah, there you go, there you go, mess the car.
35:51
Speaker 15: The bumper stickers that said my son is my child
35:55
Speaker 15: is on the honor roll.
35:56
Speaker 8: Yeah.
35:57
Speaker 15: Yeah, my parents never had one of those.
36:00
Speaker 8: That's great.
36:01
Speaker 15: Hey.
36:01
Speaker 8: You know what, though, I would have figured that would
36:04
Speaker 8: have been totally on brand for you to have like
36:06
Speaker 8: ten bumper stickers on your car.
36:08
Speaker 15: You know, well I might now, you know, I've been
36:11
Speaker 15: listening and since it's not a trend, I think I
36:13
Speaker 15: need to try to bring it back.
36:15
Speaker 8: I like what you I like what you did there,
36:17
Speaker 8: hey man. Before we get into the music and what's
36:19
Speaker 8: coming up on Mountain Stage, and we'll talk about a
36:20
Speaker 8: couple of the artists. I didn't know you were into baseball.
36:24
Speaker 8: You're going to be throwing out the first pitch at
36:26
Speaker 8: a dirty birds game.
36:28
Speaker 15: I know that. What do you think about that?
36:30
Speaker 8: I'm always I think it's pretty good. Do you even
36:32
Speaker 8: own a mitt?
36:34
Speaker 15: You know? I was a catcher in Little league and
36:38
Speaker 15: I still have my nineteen ninety six Winners at Heart Trophy.
36:44
Speaker 8: Winter's at Art. It's excellent. That's excellent. So that's going
36:48
Speaker 8: to be this Sunday. You're going to be throwing the
36:49
Speaker 8: first pitch out.
36:51
Speaker 15: That's right, all right?
36:52
Speaker 8: All right? Well, hey man, are you practicing, William?
36:56
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm I'm trying to, you know.
36:59
Speaker 8: Get my arm back up. All right, Hey, listen to
37:02
Speaker 8: the professional level. Okay, listen. One piece of advice. Go
37:07
Speaker 8: all the way up on top of the mound. Okay, okay,
37:11
Speaker 8: don't don't be like forty five feet away. Don't do that.
37:14
Speaker 8: Don't do that, because even if you throw the ball
37:16
Speaker 8: correctly throw a strike, people are like, well, you know,
37:19
Speaker 8: why is that guy on top of the mount. Get
37:21
Speaker 8: on top of the mound. That's where you need to
37:23
Speaker 8: throw that first pitch out.
37:24
Speaker 15: All right, I'm going to do it for you, Dave, I.
37:26
Speaker 8: Had a boy at a boy. All right, let's talk
37:28
Speaker 8: about tell me a little bit about Mountain Stage this weekend.
37:31
Speaker 15: Oh, it's going to be a good one, kind of
37:32
Speaker 15: a bluesier theme. We've got saxophonist, singer band leader Vanessa
37:38
Speaker 15: Collier on the show, Canadian roots and acoustic blues songwriter
37:43
Speaker 15: Matt Anderson, and then Tennessee's Amethyst Kia, who was on
37:48
Speaker 15: Mountain Stage a while back as part of the East
37:51
Speaker 15: Tennessee State University Old Time Pride band.
37:54
Speaker 4: Nice.
37:55
Speaker 15: So it's cool that she's, you know, sort of developed
37:58
Speaker 15: this cool Southern gossa kind of style. And then we'll
38:03
Speaker 15: have singer, songwriter, amazing guitar player Margaret Glaspie on the show.
38:10
Speaker 15: And Mountain Stages band leader Ron Soul just put out
38:15
Speaker 15: an album and he's going to be a guest this
38:17
Speaker 15: week and play some tunes from that. So excited about that,
38:19
Speaker 15: and I'll brag on him a little bit. That album
38:23
Speaker 15: made it to number ten on the Folk Alliance International
38:28
Speaker 15: Radio Charts.
38:29
Speaker 8: Nice Nice, he's gone global. Hey, we were talking about baseball.
38:34
Speaker 8: Ron's kind of coming in for the bullpen because Hayes.
38:37

Speaker 15: She's a yeah, just a powerhouse when it comes to
39:08
Speaker 15: singing and playing the saxophone.
39:10
Speaker 8: Hey, you know what, Larry Gross was with us last
39:13
Speaker 8: week a week ago. We were inside the huddle and
39:16
Speaker 8: we were talking about Vanessa Coier on that show, and
39:20
Speaker 8: it's really unusual to see, uh, a performer use the
39:25
Speaker 8: horn and sing at the same time. Have you ever
39:29
Speaker 8: seen that? Never? Yeah, we were talking about some of
39:33
Speaker 8: the artists that do that, like Louis Armstrong did that.
39:36
Speaker 8: I was thinking about Jack Sheldon did that. You know,
39:41
Speaker 8: It's just it's it's just unusual to see an artist
39:44
Speaker 8: use a saxophone or a trumpet and then in the
39:47
Speaker 8: midst of performing go away from the instrument and and
39:50
Speaker 8: then sing.
39:53
Speaker 15: Totally. Yeah it'll I think it'll be a real treat.
39:56
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chet Baker, there's another example of somebody might do that. Coop,
40:00
Speaker 8: We've got a little bit of Vanessa call your Music.

Speaker 3: Favetty Love wchs the Voice for Charleston. Hey, thanks for
48:06
Speaker 3: tuning in this week. I really appreciate it. I had
48:08
Speaker 3: a good time filling in for Dave Allen. I used
48:10
Speaker 3: to do the show a little bit more often, but
48:11
Speaker 3: Dave hardly takes any time off number one, and we
48:15
Speaker 3: try to get some guest hosts and things in here
48:17
Speaker 3: to expand the roster a little bit when Dave's gone
48:21
Speaker 3: when it's just one off. But everybody's busy this week,
48:24
Speaker 3: and I don't mind sliding in when I need to.
48:26
Speaker 3: I enjoyed doing the show. I just know that you
48:29
Speaker 3: guys like Dave and so Dave will be back on Monday,
48:31
Speaker 3: and we'll be hopefully recharged, re energized, and ready to go.
48:35
Speaker 3: One thing I wanted to tell you about before I
48:36
Speaker 3: bring t J Meadows one to give us an idea
48:38
Speaker 3: of what's going to happen on the last episode of
48:41
Speaker 3: talk Line for the week. I want to tell you
48:42
Speaker 3: things are a little bit different on the sports things
48:44
Speaker 3: for WHS this upcoming year. For one thing, Saturday afternoons
48:48
Speaker 3: are going to be more free. We don't have the
48:51
Speaker 3: nine hours of WU coverage that we've had for the
48:53
Speaker 3: last decade or so. That's not something that Metro News
48:58
Speaker 3: is providing this year. So it's not like CHA isn't caring,
49:00
Speaker 3: it's just not a program that's available. We have other
49:03
Speaker 3: ancellary programs covering WU that's going to be one, but
49:06
Speaker 3: just that nine hour game day coverage we're not going
49:08
Speaker 3: to have this year. What that allows on WCCHS is
49:11
Speaker 3: for us to expand our college football games, so we're
49:15
Speaker 3: actually going to have more Playboy Play action on WCCHS
49:17
Speaker 3: than we've had in a long time. I think that
49:20
Speaker 3: I counted up, not including bowl games in the National
49:23
Speaker 3: Championship Playoffs, we have thirty two college football games on
49:27
Speaker 3: WCCHS and fourteen ninety ESPN over the college football season,
49:33
Speaker 3: and when you add in bowl games and the entire
49:35
Speaker 3: playoff run because we have that as well, it's going
49:37
Speaker 3: to be well over fifty college football games we'll have
49:40
Speaker 3: here on WCHS throughout the year, and then NFL coverage
49:44
Speaker 3: stays basically the same that it's been over the last
49:47
Speaker 3: couple of years. Will have a doubleheader every Sunday on
49:51
Speaker 3: fourteen ninety WSWW. We'll have a one o'clock a game
49:54
Speaker 3: over here on WCCHS to make room for sports Line
49:57
Speaker 3: later on Sunday evenings. This year, we've added a whole slew.
50:02
Speaker 3: It's not every but it is a select and it's
50:05
Speaker 3: several matchups of the Sunday, Thursday, and Monday night games.
50:08
Speaker 3: So we're going to have about ten of those all
50:09
Speaker 3: together throughout the season as well. All told, over one
50:12
Speaker 3: hundred football games will be on five ad whs this
50:15
Speaker 3: year and those are at a cost of zero to you.
50:19
Speaker 4: So if you're.
50:19
Speaker 3: Struggling to find your sports and all these streaming things
50:21
Speaker 3: are about there, and hey, guess what, play by play
50:24
Speaker 3: is much better on the radio as well, give it
50:26
Speaker 3: a try. You might save yourself a little money, but
50:28
Speaker 3: at least you'll find good entertainment. Our high school football
50:32
Speaker 3: season kicks off on the twenty eighth with Spring Valley
50:33
Speaker 3: at George, Washington. It will be a doubleheader for that weekend.
50:36
Speaker 3: Our second game will be Poka at Buffalo. Both of
50:38
Speaker 3: those games will be right here on five ADWCHS. As
50:41
Speaker 3: we return to the game of the week format we
50:44
Speaker 3: covered Hurricane exclusively last year. We'll have plenty of Hurricane
50:46
Speaker 3: games on the radio, but it's not going to be
50:48
Speaker 3: the exclusive team we coverage that we cover Spring Valley
50:51
Speaker 3: George Washington, PoCA at Buffalo, Nitro, Saint Albans, Parkersburg Hurricane,
50:55
Speaker 3: and South Charleston George Washington. That covers our first four
50:59
Speaker 3: games that we're going to have, and we'll release the
51:01
Speaker 3: remainder of the schedule after that. Our sister station, which
51:03
Speaker 3: is ninety six to one KWS, will still be carrying
51:07
Speaker 3: every Hoover football game. And of course, as we talked
51:10
Speaker 3: with President Cage earlier. With President Cage earlier, we know
51:16
Speaker 3: that we're gonna be doing wes Virginia State football as well.
51:18
Speaker 3: On one O seven three the Beat. The tickets have
51:20
Speaker 3: been claimed. The tickets have been claimed for the Reds,
51:22
Speaker 3: so you can stop calling in now. I'll have more
51:24
Speaker 3: tickets to give away. They know they were gonna be
51:26
Speaker 3: so popular. I would have had more, but you can
51:29
Speaker 3: stop calling it. And they have been claimed that to laugh.
51:31
Speaker 3: That cackle was from TJ. How you doing this morning, TJ?
51:34
Speaker 8: I'm doing great. What a great high school lineup?
51:36
Speaker 2: Man?
51:36
Speaker 4: I am.
51:37
Speaker 3: I love this type of year, this time of year
51:39
Speaker 3: because we really get to lean into the local with
51:42
Speaker 3: the high school with the high school sports. I miss
51:44
Speaker 3: having our WVU coverage, but I'm a little bit excited
51:46
Speaker 3: to be able to bring double headers every single week
51:48
Speaker 3: on wc Just.
51:49
Speaker 4: It's good stuff.
51:49
Speaker 19: Yeah, And to your point, there's something about the play
51:52
Speaker 19: by play in radio.
51:53
Speaker 4: It's just better.
51:54
Speaker 19: It's just better. Turn the TV down, take it to
51:58
Speaker 19: the game with you. I love watching if I'm live
52:01
Speaker 19: at the game and having the guys in my ear
52:03
Speaker 19: because there's elements they see that you don't see.
52:05
Speaker 3: Just wonderful and just a quick thing. Radio is live,
52:07
Speaker 3: streaming is is not. So you want to tune in
52:10
Speaker 3: live to the radio. What's coming up on talk line?
52:12
Speaker 19: So Ryan Schmeltz from Foxh's Radio is going to join us.
52:14
Speaker 19: Of course, Putin and Trump getting together today. We'll follow
52:17
Speaker 19: that story. Continue to talk about this asset sale of
52:19
Speaker 19: state hospitals to this private country company.
52:22
Speaker 8: Dig into that.
52:23
Speaker 19: Chris Steierwaltz at eleven o six and it's Friday, so
52:26
Speaker 19: it's Steam release.
