together. Now thought we were going to have the return to Miss Amanda this
2:02
morning after long hiatus. Turns out the hiatus is going to be a little
2:06
longer than expected. I got a textor missed Amanda early this morning that her
2:10
hot water tank decided to explode quite literally, So no miss Amanda this morning.
2:16
Instead grab someone from the newsroom. You hear her every morning on the
2:21
morning news and she frequently pops her head in here to tell us things that
2:24
are going on in the world. But today she's on with a full ride
2:28
talking about Carrie Hood. Said Kerry, good morning. How are you.
2:30
Good morning, Dave. I'm good. I've been in the studio now for
2:32
the past more than three hours. Oh and by the way, I forgot
2:37
to tell you Hoppies off today. So if you could just do talk line
2:40
and also on hotline this afternoon and possibly Bongino if that's possible, could you
2:46
do all this, take care of all the shows. Yeah, and there's
2:49
some weeds need to be taking care of the transmitter. If you can just
2:51
get the weed eater and go up there, we'll take care of that.
2:53
Time. We'll replace the heater in here. Yes, yes, it's an
2:55
ongoing thing. We had heat for like ten minutes. Yes, so now
3:00
it's fine. But they understand, I understand. We got an email this
3:04
morning that it's a work in progress that the it's the something I wouldn't understand,
3:09
that's the flam adoodle or something like that is supposedly going to be in
3:14
later in the days. We'll have more luck in twenty twenty four. That's
3:15
what I'm hoping for. That's your news restlation. Yeah, we're gonna freeze
3:20
in the studio. We're going to be talking to Carrie throughout the show and
3:23
also going to be joined by Andy Shay, who's the owner and CEO of
3:27
the Charleston Dirty Birds as the Selango law Light. The night continues over Goimar
3:31
Ballpark. The final couple of nights of that. Eighty's going to join us.
3:35
Talk about that a little bit later on Plus miss Uit de sec You
3:38
get to play ten questions. Oh oh gosh, no boy. It's always
3:42
interesting and I've and one. I've had people on here that will say it's
3:46
interesting being on the other side because you make your living interviewing people. Now
3:50
you get to be in there. It is I think I've only been interviewed
3:53
once or twice in my life, and it is the most awkward feeling because
3:55
I'm always doing the questions exactly exactly, all right, So we we are
4:00
going to get that a little bit later on, but right now it's time
4:02
to welcome and a good friend. Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charlesty, Maine
4:04
Association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Hannah, good
4:09
morning, how are you? I'm good? How are you? I am
4:13
fine? Hannah? Carrie, Carrie, Hannah, Hi, Hannah, how
4:15
are you? I'm good? And yeah, all the pleasantries now have have
4:20
been exchanged. All right, as always, I got the picture of our
4:24
pet posted on Dave Aland Radio and Facebook and the Dave Villand Show on ex
4:28
Hannah tell us the story of Hamlin. All right, Hamlin is a male.
4:34
He is about one year. I'd say he's a fresh one year or
4:40
two, because he still kind of shows as if he's more like puppy like.
4:46
He is very playful with other dogs. He definitely still pulls on the
4:50
leaf some, so he would benefit from some leaf training. Also, from
4:56
what we have noticed in our care is that he was kid friendly. He
5:02
actually was adopted prior to being at the shelter again, but of no fault
5:09
of his own that the children were actually allergic to the dogs, so they
5:13
had to bring him back, which is perfectly okay. He's looking for another
5:16
home now, and he is a really really good all around dog. He
5:21
definitely would probably be a good one for somebody who has a fencing yard that
5:28
he could run around in, or someone who likes to go hiking or be
5:31
an outdoorsy a lot, because he does have a lot of energy. He
5:35
is still young, and we do consider him one of our class clowns because
5:41
he is loose and lobbly and he's just fun and he just doesn't really care.
5:46
He's just so happy to be alive. He's just such a good,
5:49
good dog, and he is ready for a home. He said. He
5:57
likes to be around other dogs that are playful too, So what what kind
6:01
of you know, what's his personality like? If you could talk more about
6:04
that kind of reindeer games is what Carrie's asking. He's just a really playful
6:12
dog in general. He likes to play with other dogs that are equally as
6:15
playful. He likes to run around, like when he's in play groups.
6:18
He's very playful and alert. He's, like I said, he has chose
6:25
to do good with kids. But where he is so playful, we always
6:28
advise caution just because of how you know, rambunctious, little playful dogs can
6:32
be. And he's he's not little, I shouldn't say little. He's about
6:35
fifty one pounds. He's about an average fass dog. But he definitely is
6:42
looking for a young couple or even a family that is willing to take him
6:46
in and play with him and give him that face, the room around and
6:50
stuff. So he would definitely be a good one for that. And he
6:54
did come in as astray to us, so we don't know much about his
6:58
past, but from what we do know since he's been with us, he's
7:01
just a really really sweet, loving, playful dog. Any idea what kind
7:05
of dog he is? I mean, I'm not good at you know,
7:09
even I'm a I'm a pet person. I look at the pictures that you
7:11
send him, by the way, again, the pictures posted on my Facebook
7:13
and on my x page. Any any idea what kind of dog Hamblin is
7:18
or Carrie, do you have a have a guess? I don't. I'm
7:21
more of a cat person, but he is a cutie though, I'm looking
7:25
at his picture right now. Any idea he definitely gives me, which you
7:30
know, we we have no idea really what he is, but he gives
7:33
me like lab nauser ish kind of vibes, maybe even like I mean,
7:41
I wouldn't really want to say foolish, but definitely see maybe even a little
7:47
pity. But you'd be surprised because I have one that looks like her,
7:50
and she is a golden mixed with a pity, So she who knows that
7:58
she's definitely or he is very very very sweet, very very cute. Well,
8:01
and as you said, through no thought of his own, he was
8:05
adopted and they had to bring him back because apparently the kids were allergic to
8:07
him. So I wanted to throw that out there. I don't want to
8:09
kind of throw a monkey ranch in in the whole thing, but we do
8:11
want to make sure that maybe people realized that maybe take the dog out for
8:18
like a kind of a trial run bringing bring him to the house and see
8:22
how it does, because sometimes there are people that are have allergic issues when
8:28
it comes to any kind of a pet. So we want to make sure
8:30
that's the case. And hats off to those people for realizing that and bringing
8:33
the dog back to the shelter as supposed to, just like setting it out
8:35
somewhere. So hats off to those people go take a look at Hamlet's picture.
8:39
We'll have we'll kind of a recap on Hamlet here in a couple of
8:43
moments. But I want to talk to you, Hannah about your event that
8:46
you held at Todd Judy on Patrick Street last week. How was How was
8:50
that he took some animals on the road as we were speaking last Friday?
8:52
How'd that turn out? Yeah, we actually had a few adoptions at that
8:58
event and it was successful. We had a lot back at the shelter as
9:01
well, so throughout the whole day it was pretty successful. And we are
9:07
doing it all over again this weekend, I believe on Saturday, so we'll
9:11
be there from twelve to two. Now. Is that that the Patrick Street
9:15
Todd Judy? Is that right? Yes, the Patrick Street location. And
9:18
Todd Judy sponsored all the adoption fees, so it'll be zero dollars for everybody,
9:24
all right? And big shout out again to Todd and Becky and all
9:26
those soaks over Todd Judy because they go above and beyond one helps when it
9:31
comes to well, they go above me when it comes to the community in
9:33
general, but especially with animals. And we I know you folks at the
9:37
at the shelter appreciate them anything in particular the shelter is in need of at
9:41
this time. Yeah, so I know that, of course we're still always
9:46
accepting blankets and sheets and stuff like that. I know that we could use
9:52
our usual stuff, which is like soap, trash bags some again blankets,
9:58
and I know that we I know that we were fine on cat food there,
10:03
so I believe the last I heard was some puppy pads and stuff like
10:09
that, so we could really use all of that for right now. All
10:13
right, all right, well, Hannah is always it's a pleasure to have
10:16
you on the show. Thank you for being on. This is the final
10:18
time we'll talk to you this year. You haven't been fired though, you'll
10:22
be back next to next week, I promise. So it's you know,
10:24
you're a spectacular person for everything that you do there, you and Angie and
10:28
everybody at the shelter. We appreciate you taking time each week to talk to
10:31
us, and we'll talk to you again of the new year. Happy New
10:33
Year, kid, Happy new year to you guys. All right, thank
10:37
you again. It's sa Hannah Gardner from the Canna Trust Me Man Association with
10:39
this week's a doot me please. Pet of the Week. Hamlin is the
10:43
dog's name. One year old, not fixed she but will be micro chipped
10:46
and Vaccinata prefers, playful dogs, lots of energy, carry seems kid friendly,
10:52
somewhat loose and clumsy. I love that description. And he's a class
10:56
clown. I love that it's a class cloud. Could use a little little
11:00
bit more to leash trady, they said, and he's around fifty pounds.
11:03
But again, was adopted and the family, the kids apparently had some issue
11:09
with the fur of the dog. In that case, I'd say, get
11:11
rid of the kids. That's just me, that's just me being a jerk.
11:16
But no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding about that. But I do
11:18
appreciate though. Again, as I said, to people bringing the dog back
11:22
to the shelter instead of just throwing it out somewhere, they did the right
11:24
thing. There so plenty of pets available for adoption, including Hamlin. His
11:28
pictures posted on Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and the Dave Allen Chill ONEX.
11:33
So go check out Hamlin and go get yourself a new pet for the new
11:37
year. Carry. You are a cat person, as you said, is
11:39
that right. Yeah, I've been my whole life. I have a cat
11:43
myself. He's too. Cat's famous by everybody asks about him in the newsroom.
11:48
His name's Charlie, named after Charleston because I started my radio career here
11:52
in Charleston, so I thought it was only fitting. And I got him
11:54
when I moved back to West Virginia, about a week or so after I
11:58
had made the trip back from Kellifornia. But yeah, he's two years old.
12:01
He'll be three in March, and he's just I call my little buddy.
12:05
He's always he's attached to me all the time, very clingy. Has
12:09
a big personalities. First boy cat I had. I had girl cats growing
12:13
up, but a big difference. He's just like bigger. Likes the fight.
12:18
He kind of acts like a dog almost he doesn't. He does not
12:20
like to get left alone. So it kind of sounds like my wife and
12:24
I have a cat. We did have a female and a male, and
12:28
then we had to have the female put down last year, so now we
12:30
just have the male. His name is Grady, named after Grady from my
12:33
favorite show Sandford and Son growing up as a kid. Grady also thinks he's
12:37
a dog. Grady follows me pretty much everywhere I go in the house.
12:43
It whimpers when I leave in the morning, and very excited to see me
12:46
when I come home. And you know, I like dogs too. I
12:50
like animals of all kinds. I really do. But my life and my
12:54
wife's life is just really not conducive to having a dog. Cats. Our
12:58
cat came in as astray. He never goes outside. He has no interest.
13:01
He looks out the window. But you open that door because he came
13:03
in on a morning we took him in when it was like, you know,
13:07
ten degrees some cold, cold morning in the winter, and you know,
13:11
you open that door. He's like, I'm not going out there.
13:13
You're crazy. You go out there. I'm not going out there. That's
13:16
kind of the way our grady is. But all right, we're going to
13:18
take a break to Dave Aland showing five eighty Lives. Brought to you part

16:40
so you know, Andy Shay is with us right now. Andy, of
16:44
course, the gm CEO of the Charleston Dirty Birds. Andy, good morning.
16:47
How are you. I'm doing great about yourself. I am doing fine.
16:48
Thank you for being here, sir. I appreciate you taking time,
16:52
and I'm kind of asking it's kind of obligatory that you have to do this
16:56
anytime you have a guest on the show or in television or whatever. Any
17:00
New Year's resolutions for you. Well, I work in sports, so I
17:04
think I need to be a little more fit than I am currently, and
17:07
I'm feeling a big time after these holidays and your classic two kids under five
17:14
that are sick NonStop. So uh yeah, I've got the classic health related
17:19
and that's that's a good start for me. Okay, all right, what
17:25
are the odds that you're going to be able to hold on me? Because
17:26
you look at you, you're not You're not exactly like a big fat gal
17:30
like I am. Well, I don't know how I do on the diamond
17:33
right now though, So anyways, and that's not exactly the goal, but
17:37
now it is something that I've semi I don't want to say pride to myself,
17:41
but works towards the entire time I've been in this career because I work
17:45
in professional sports, you know, and it's I can see how guys who
17:49
you know, may not be athletic or interact with the team, the players.
17:53
I mean, it's a real thing. So it's always been a goal
17:56
of mine. All right, Well, good luck with you, thank you,
17:57
I appreciate well. Back with you in you know, January tenth or
18:02
something like that. That's what happens a lot of times. That's what happened
18:04
a lot of times. All right, final days of the Selango Law Light
18:08
the night to go mot Ballpark, and what a season it has been.
18:11
You had this vision and you explained we'll tell you what. Let's do this,
18:15
go back and explain where the vision for this came from you did it
18:18
the last time we were here, But in case people missed it, where
18:19
do where did this whole idea come from? Absolutely so about at this point,
18:23
it'd be about thirteen months ago I went to something like this, not
18:26
at the exact same obviously, and not in the same city stadium anything,
18:30
but I went to something like this with my then four year old son and
18:33
with my mom, and I mean it was at that point my son's life
18:38
definitely the number one thing that I felt like I had taken him to that
18:42
he just enjoyed that, he was fulfilled, that we probably needed more time.
18:48
And as I was leaving, driving on the interstate that was close to
18:52
that stadium, I saw the giant ferris wheel and it was almost like that
18:56
was the time where it clicked where I was like, wait, that's Charleston
19:02
Stadium and was sixty four right there and you see that and like you have
19:04
the visual and all that stuff. So it really was soon after that,
19:08
I mean it was right around Christmas last year that I really really started talking
19:12
to people ab bouth in the city government here as well as some of the
19:17
other people who had done these things, and you know, the people who
19:19
actually order all the crazy amount of lights and visuals and all that good stuff,
19:26
and it was awesome starting in January. This one guy, I mean,
19:29
he's an absolute beast. I mean he was making these drives up from
19:30
Texas pretty much every other month, and I mean it's you know, I
19:33
would tell people this entire light the night event where it's like, hey,
19:37
that's not a coincidence that those lights are like the exact fit for that wall
19:41
and the exact fit for the exact amount and scene and everything on the field.
19:48
I mean this guy and with us and with our team, I mean,
19:49
we really had one heck of a design and map for it, and
19:53
then it just kept growing. I mean that's what's amazing it. You know
19:56
it just the idea, the visual kept growing. It you kept seeing how
20:00
it would work in our particular stadium, and then the thing it was just
20:04
super awesome. Uh was the entire you know, one plus month of setting
20:08
this up and everything, the amount of people that drove by that saw it,
20:12
that walked by that saw it, that you know, tricker beat.
20:17
That was an amazing little you know, uh, what would you call grassroots
20:21
marketing stance, So that that really helped kind of people start visualizing it themselves
20:26
because I was so excited. But I think that that last month or so
20:29
it was great. And when it's in your head sometimes I think, ay,
20:33
trying to get that imparted to other people. It's like it's in my
20:37
head, but but it looks like you were able to execute it. Pretty
20:41
much. It's always in your head and you're sput on because you know,
20:44
I mean, it's so unique, it's so big, it's so different that
20:48
visualizing that to people, you know, I mean I could show them videos
20:52
of other stadiums, which helped. You know. I must have said the
20:56
term Winter Wonderland ten thousand times, right, you know, I mean it
20:59
was it was the go to. But it's turned out absolutely amazing. Give
21:03
me some wait for ballpark figures. There we go. What I did there,
21:07
Karen, I get it. See what I did there? On attendance
21:11
for Light to Night. I mean, just give me some some figures.
21:15
How many people have come through? We are currently over one hundred thousand people
21:18
and we've got a few days left and we'll see, you know, I
21:22
mean every day and every week and every experience is a first. So I've
21:26
you know, going into Thanksgiving I had absolutely zero idea what to expect for
21:30
Thanksgiving Night, for Black Friday, all that stuff. I had no clue
21:33
what to expect for leading up to Christmas. So you know, these next
21:37
few days could be gigantic, really, but now I think we'll be in
21:41
one hundred and twenty hundred and twenty five thousand people range for the six week
21:45
event. And those people that come in, many of them are not from
21:48
Charleston. They come in from a lot of other areas. Andy a giant
21:52
amount, So between traveling and whatnot, I haven't been able to check the
21:56
data in the last couple of weeks, but even through the first two three
22:00
weeks it was over I believe it was over forty states. And trust me,
22:04
for a relatively new guy living here, I'm starting to learn a heck
22:07
of a lot of West Virginia towns, zip codes, everything else that I
22:11
had no clue about, because you know, I start seeing it, so
22:15
I mean, it really is. It's definitely the whole map. But man,
22:18
from a West Virginia perspective, it is absolutely awesome the amount of people
22:22
that have come. Talking with Andy Shade, the GM and CEO of the
22:26
Dirty Birds, Carrie, I know, you guys in a newsroom have done
22:30
a lot of reporting on this about the number of people that have come in.
22:33
It's absolutely amazing, it really is. And what's the feedback been like
22:36
from people? What do they say they like the most about it? Well?
22:38
I think that they you know, so first of all, the thing
22:41
that has been such a pleasure is that it's almost no negative feedback. I
22:45
mean that's what's been amazing. I think that a lot of people and this
22:48
was something that I underestimated. I guess maybe I'll admit the ice skating rink
22:52
that has been outrageously popular. People have loved it, They've come back,
22:57
they've rented it out afternoon. So that has been one that has been outrageously
23:03
popular. The Selango Law Ferris wheel that was one that was a relatively last
23:08
minute add for us, and now I can't picture it without it. Yeah,
23:11
I mean that is such a fun thing and so unique and all that
23:15
stuff. Uh. And then of course the lights, you know, I
23:18
mean just being able to get lost in that and how many lights total we've
23:22
been I mean it's minimum two million, might as well say four million,
23:25
right, I mean, like it's a I've said one time on the air,
23:29
I said a million, and somebody text me and said it's two million.
23:30
It's definitely. I mean, it's certainly over two million. Uh and
23:34
that's even what we started with. We've been added in the last six weeks.
23:37
But uh Now, the other thing that's been really cool hearing anecdotally from
23:41
people is that they come back. So that's you love to hear that,
23:45
and they notice new things on the field. So I mean with the lights,
23:48
because it's just so you know, kind of stimulating and almost overwhelming that
23:52
you know, people probably miss things and they love being able to come back
23:56
and see oh my gosh, I didn't even see that last time. I
23:57
mean, we've been seeing these events to grow bigger and bigger each year in
24:00
the City of Charles and that's part of what we do here in the news
24:03
team is we cover these events and so to see something like this just grow
24:07
and explode. It's also about making use of the new turf field and what
24:11
you have there. If you could talk about that, Yeah, that's a
24:12
one hundred percent fact that you know that artificial turfield that Mayor Goodwin's crew and
24:18
the City of Charleston that they really you know, they blessed us with that,
24:22
and that has been a absolute complete utter game changer. I mean for
24:26
this event. But when you just look at the calendar, I mean this
24:30
calendar, and well you talk about some ballpark numbers, I can't wait to
24:33
pull all those because we had over I think it was like fifty college games
24:37
between WV Tech Marshall and WVU played at a game without Marshall. And this
24:44
year anyways, we had a crazy amount of high school games. We had
24:47
a crazy amount of youth games. We had the Savannah Bananas, we had
24:49
the high school state Tournament, we had obviously the Dirty Bird season, we
24:52
had all the camps that we did. We had a concert at our music
24:56
festival this October. So there's almost a zero percent chance you'd be able to
25:00
do half of that if we did not have the artificial turf field. So
25:03
having that, and especially for this event in a bad weather month, when
25:08
I mean that could that could really tear the living heck out of the field
25:12
on some of these nights or days after. Whereas for us, we're open.
25:18
We don't think twice about it. There'll be some maintenance and stuff afterwards,
25:21
but nothing that our crew can't handle. In two weeks versus again,
25:26
if it was a real, real progress. I mean again, if we
25:29
did it, we would just have to be able to tell our team and
25:33
visiting teams, hey, just suck it, you know, like, sorry,
25:34
you're playing on like a high school field, but you know nothing we
25:37
can do. Well, I'm going to go back to the ice skating here
25:41
for a moment. Are you an ice skater? Karen No, I wish
25:44
I was. The reason I say that is because Carrie and we're going to
25:45
get into her background. Lilted Billy is originally a Jersey girl, and we
25:48
and we here always think that anybody north to hear that they're all on skates.
25:52
That's just the vision we have in our head. If you get a
25:55
chance. I know, I posted it on my social medium, our man
26:00
what he was from our sister station to beat one of seven three to beat.
26:03
I don't really know what you call that move he was doing on ice
26:06
skates over at the ballpark. It was better than I could do. I'll
26:08
tell you that because I was thinking, is the next Winter Olympics. I
26:14
was thinking seizure. That's what it looks like what I saw. But no,
26:18
but that has been a very very popular thing. Again, something that
26:22
would not be popular or would not be possible, I should say, Andy,
26:26
if it were on a grass field, you just simply couldn't have that.
26:29
I couldn't even imagine that. Yeah, like it would he wouldn't have
26:32
a right field a season next year. And you know, it has been
26:36
cool, it's been you know, you see some of these kids are adults
26:38
that are whipping around there that are clearly know what they're doing, that you
26:41
know, have great control all of that stuff. But inevitably there are we
26:45
have those little like kind of walker type things for news skaters. You see
26:49
fifteen of those out there at any given time, because whether it's kids or
26:53
new people or whatever, I mean, they just but they're just dying to
26:56
check it out. They're they're so excited to try it. And you know,
27:00
again the way that it's interacted and people have just been so pumped to
27:03
be there that the people who know very very well what they're doing are totally
27:07
cool and interactive, and it worked out perfectly beautiful and great with the people
27:11
who were a one. Yeah, not exactly like I would be very well
27:18
at my age, I'm worried about breaking a hip out there. That's what
27:19
I can't say. I had a couple of texts here for you. One
27:22
said, do the Dirty Bird provide wheelchair used for handicapped people coming to light
27:26
the night? Or so are we handicapped accessible? You're one percent handicap accessible.
27:30
That was one of the first things that we you know, really that
27:33
we included on our website, that we made sure was possible and all that
27:36
stuff. So to get on the field, it would be behind center field.
27:40
There's a way, of course, all the way around the concourse.
27:41
So yes, by all means it is Tex says this al Ango Light the
27:45
Night is first class all the way our state needed to display. And a
27:48
big thank you to everyone involved in making this happen. That's amazing. I've
27:52
I've loved I appreciate that. I appreciate that right here and hearing a lot
27:57
of those responses and support, and you know, I mean, it really
28:00
has been very special and quite frankly, the way that you know, I
28:03
was already thinking, but the way that really my mind thinks then is like,
28:07
Okay, what more can I do next year? And that's what's cool
28:10
man. And again this was year one, As you said, you came
28:12
in with a basic idea. But anytime you do any sort of an event,
28:17
you set down, you know, when it all ends with a legal
28:18
pad, and you say what worked, what didn't work, what can we
28:22
make better, how can we market it better? Things of that nature.
28:25
And when you put that in conjunction Andy with what went on with Holly Jolly
28:27
Brawley and what continues to go on there. I mean Charleston and Carrie you
28:33
see this as well. I mean Charleston was kind of the place to be
28:36
this Christmas season. Yeah, when I was here eight years ago, when
28:37
I started in twenty fifteen, we didn't have any of this. We had
28:41
some things, but nothing as big as what we're seeing now. Yeah,
28:44
I want to talk switch gears before we'll let you go. Indian, don't
28:48
want to talk about this before you know what. The balls will be flying
28:52
and the bats will be cracking for the twenty twenty four edition of The Dirty
28:56
Birds over at the Gomart Ballpark. Any kind of a preview you can give
29:00
us, I know we have with new people in place over there, what
29:03
are we looking forward? I'm always thinking I'm a baseball guy, why I'm
29:06
a sports guy in general, But I'm always thinking about especially in the winner.
29:08
I'm always thinking baseball absolutely well, it means warm weather. So we
29:12
don't have much in terms of like literal players or whatever. But I've got
29:15
a great, awesome relationship in history with our new manager. He was my
29:18
manager and our previous team when I was in Lexington. I've known him since
29:23
excuse me, twenty twenty and we won the championship together in Lexington in twenty
29:27
twenty one. Where PJ starts his roster is power He is a power back
29:33
guy that's number one. Number two goes to the bullpen. Then we're talking
29:38
about you know, you round it out with the starting pitching and everything else.
29:41
So PJ is he has got one heck of a network. I mean,
29:48
that's what I've appreciated and respect about him since day one. And man,
29:52
that guy is out there to win. If you like he that's that's
29:56
his main priority. I Mean there are certain managers that want to be friends
30:00
with the players. There are certain managers that just want to look cool.
30:03
They are certain managers that are trying to claiming this, that or the other
30:06
thing. PJ it is, you know, there's no you can't look at
30:10
it any other way. He is there to win. What kind of other
30:12
events are on the calendar for twenty twenty four. I mean, you did
30:15
everything for the Down and Dirty, You had concerts and things of that nature.
30:19
Can you give us little preview of what you're expecting in the new year.
30:22
Well, I need some ideas. I love some ideas, but I
30:26
well, I mean I'm pumped a say, you know, we're obviously you
30:30
know some of the Marshalls games in Marshall WVU. That was that really was
30:34
and that was the one that really really really kicked off the twenty twenty three
30:38
season. I mean, don't get wrong, we had games before that,
30:41
but that one over five thousand people for that game that kicked off the WHOA
30:47
all right awesome, And then it was three weeks later Bananas. Then it
30:49
was a couple of weeks later the Dirty Birds, all that stuff. So
30:53
yeah, I love what everything will center around moving forward is kids, families,
30:59
because that is it's. It was so awesome hearing from so many random
31:04
people over the last six weeks how pumped they were that they had somewhere to
31:08
go with their families. And when I took my kids my kids are two
31:11
and five, a bunch of especially five year old and his friends came out
31:15
a bunch. They were never bored. I mean it was so awesome and
31:18
hearing from the parents and hearing from everyone else how they were so pumped about
31:22
this. So, you know, both in terms of planning Light the Night
31:25
next year, but then also whether it's a ridiculously cool Easter egg hunt or
31:30
something along those lines, like things for kids and families, that is something
31:34
I really, really really want to grow at the ballpark. All right,
31:37
now, again, give us the timeline because the reason I want to have
31:40
you on today is we're in the final few days of Light the Night.
31:44
So what's it looking like over the New Year's weekend. Yeah, I think
31:47
it'll be I think it'll be absolutely amazing. And we're going strong. I
31:49
mean that's what the last night is January first. January first, it's all
31:52
way through January first. So and how is the we I mean, we've
31:56
really only had one evening of snow here in the Charleston area, and I
32:00
saw some pictures posted online. We had the night some Monday night, I
32:04
think it was a couple weeks ago, and we had the snow squalls,
32:06
COVI did whatever it seemed like people said, there's snow in the air,
32:08
let's go to the ballpark. That was a funny one. That was something
32:12
I started hearing around Thanksgiving actually that people were saying, we'll be back when
32:15
it snows. I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't even think
32:16
about that, Like, but that is ridiculously cool. And those pictures that
32:20
we got were awesome. The one kind of bummer is that that was our
32:24
one dog night, so not exactly the best luck for that. But it
32:29
was beautiful. And yeah, all think said weather's weather, but I mean
32:31
I think it's you can't do anything about it, but get your family out
32:36
there over the next couple days because again it's going to run through New Year's
32:39
Night, which is a Monday night. Get over there, over to the
32:42
ballpark and come enjoy four seven eight million lights over there, and plus the
32:46
skating, plus the ferris wheeled everything that goes along with Andy. She appreciate
32:51
you, appreciate everything that you've done and making this happen. You and the
32:54
folks at Selenga Law for making this happen. And it's going to be even
32:59
bigger and better for next year. We're still got a couple of more days.
33:00
Take it in over at the ballpark and I'll be having you on and
33:05
your new manager on as we get ready for baseball season. I'm already ready.
33:08
Well, hey, we're ready. Trust me, he's ready. He
33:10
was texting me. You know, we gave the nice, solid little a
33:14
mery Christmas, right, Christmas? Hey? Have you found out about this?
33:15
Have you found about this? What's I was like, well, okay,
33:17
let me get back. So yeah, now we're fired up. I

36:25
Yeah, you know, And it's just kind of I have a little bit
36:28
of break trying to give a dog away and fight people from the community.
36:31
But we only get to know you a little bit now. I mean I'm
36:35
a little bit biased, but I will say that you know, you're a
36:38
part of the best news organization in the entire state of West Virginia. So,
36:45
and by the way, I just got an email. I don't know
36:46
whether you got this or not, that I think Today's Jeff Jenkins work anniversary
36:50
thirty seven years, thirty seven years in nineteen eighty six, and you were
36:55
probably born in eighty six ninety one, all right, eighty six I would
37:00
have been been to what test? So that was the December of eighty sixth
37:02
I was a junior in high school. I don't want to talk about you
37:06
or Ryan either one, but nineteen eighty six, Ryan's Ryan's leaving to God
37:09
School. What's in nineteen eighty six? Yeah, but the congratulation to Jeff
37:15
thirty seven years, Jeff Jenkins the head gad the news department here, So
37:17
that's certainly, certainly a milestone. Let's talk about your background. Where is
37:23
home for you when you're not in the Kanal Valley? Where are you from?
37:27
Well, most people have heard I'm from New Jersey, originally from South
37:30
Jersey, right outside Atlantic City, about fifteen minute drive to the Jersey Shore.
37:35
Well, you probably would have appreciated the Bruce Springsteen bumper music that right
37:37
just played. Yeah, that was not planned by the way go ahead.
37:42
It's very fitting. No, but yeah, I grew up there. I
37:44
went to college in Philadelphia LaSalle University. I worked in radio for a little
37:50
bit there. And then got the job here in twenty fifteen, coming up
37:53
on nine years ago, which is crazy. But I did take a brief
37:57
break. I took a job out in calif fourn in San Francisco, worked
38:00
out there for three years, and then got the call to come back here
38:05
because there was an opening to co host the morning news and how could I
38:07
pass up an opportunity to work with Chris Lawrence in the Gang. So I've
38:12
been back here now since June of twenty one, so it's been great to
38:16
be back. And just it was funny story. I came back here and
38:21
I was greeted with hugs, and normally on your first day of work,
38:24
that's not teffical, that's hr frowns upon that sting. So welcome back to
38:30
West Virginia though. Yeah. People, it just felt like coming home to
38:31
family. So yeah, And by the way, somebody asked me this morning
38:36
about about Chris. Chris is off on medical leave right now. He is
38:39
a little surgical procedure. He's going to be back better. It's like the
38:43
bionic Man, you know. He's been a bigger, better, stronger,
38:45
faster, but he had some much need of medical things. He's taking care
38:47
of not life threatening or anything like that. But he'll be back here in
38:52
a couple of weeks. So I want to wish Chris the best. Talk
38:55
about Carrie in high school? What was What was Carrie like in high school?
39:00
Carrie was in the marching band. I was in the color guard,
39:02
so that's what the flags and the dancing. I did not play an instrument,
39:06
so don't ask me what instrument I played. But yeah, I had
39:08
a lot of friends through the band. I did media classes, obviously,
39:13
because I you know, in high school, that's when I discovered my love
39:17
for broadcasting. I wanted to do television news at first, and then I
39:22
got introduced to the world of radio and I thought, wow, this is
39:24
so much more interesting than TV. So I explain that why was radio more
39:30
interesting than telegraon? Yeah, so I just liked the idea of listening to
39:36
a news story with sound alone and not having to focus on, oh,
39:39
what this person is saying and what they look like and what's in the background.
39:44
And because sometimes we can get distracted by watching a news story and not
39:47
really paying attention to the meat of the heart of the story. So I
39:52
would, you know, listen to radio. I'd listen to KYW News Radio,
39:55
which is the station back in Philadelphia, and other news stations back home,
40:00
and I just I wanted to be one of those voices. I thought
40:02
it was so cool to just get behind a microphone. You don't have to
40:06
dress up or anything, and you could just be real. All the truth
40:07
comes out, yeah, and you could just it's personal. Radio is personal,
40:12
and that's kind of what I wanted to do. And so when I
40:14
went to New York City, because my family and I would take trips annually
40:19
Christmas time, we would see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree because we were only about
40:22
two hours south of New York City, so that was a thing we did.
40:24
And one time during those trips, my dad took me to the NBC
40:29
News studio tour out in New York City and I saw an anchor desk for
40:35
the first time, and I said to my dad, I want to do
40:37
that. I just like pointed to the desk. I said what do I
40:40
have to do in order to become a news anchor? And my dad said,
40:43
well, you have to take journalism classes and media and you have to
40:45
study communication in college. I said, okay, and then I started taking
40:49
media in high school so I did a lot of video editing there, but
40:53
video editing wasn't my expertise. I always liked to run the audio boards for
40:58
some reason. So so yeah, in high school, I was a little
41:00
bit of that media. I was always hanging out in the media studio.
41:04
We had a newsroom and we did a morning news program Gammy TV. My
41:07
high school was Apsigamy High School, so excellent, Apsagamy High School. It's
41:14
actually named after an Indian tribe in my town. I've kind of figured that.
41:16
Yeah, So yeah, I did the morning news program there and then
41:22
I did the marching band all four years of high school. Okay, all
41:25
right, Well, I mean I'm always interested in talking to people about how
41:28
they got here. Yeah, and it's and it's refreshing to me to hear.
41:31
And when I say a young person, and that's kind of a running
41:34
joke between me and Carrie is the age thing, because a couple of she
41:37
and Jarret Lewis, who's a younger guy. I made the comment a couple
41:39
of weeks ago. I came in, I said, good job kids,
41:42
or something like that, and I hear Carrie screaming from the other end,
41:45
going, I'm in thirty blank or whatever. You know. I won't give
41:47
your age. I'll be thirty three in March, so you can do the
41:51
math you said earlier what you you were born. So I appreciate still being
41:54
called a kid. Well, I didn't know whether I had offended you or
41:57
not. I was like, oh, man, I should probably maybe I
42:00
watch that. I'm gonna get called it an HR again. Now it's fine.
42:01
The kids were running those the kids the West Virginia Morning News. That's
42:05
what you know. But what I was going to say was it was interesting
42:07
to me, and it's it's kind of refreshing. And Jared's, you know,
42:10
obviously younger than you are, to have some younger people that are interested
42:16
in this meeting because there is this thought, I think Carrie that everybody says,
42:21
oh, you know, radio is dead. Well radio is far from
42:23
dead. And the media in general, journalism whatever, it's as strong as
42:30
it ever was. It's just that the way sometimes that people obtain their information
42:36
is a little bit different. We have as many listeners in radio as what
42:39
we ever did, but what they're they're not always getting in the car and
42:44
turning on five to eighty. They're listening on apps shows like this, or
42:49
the morning news. You have to make them available at other times. And
42:52
people, you guys do a great job with a podcast that you do,
42:54
which is basically just a summary of all of the new stuff people. I
43:00
have people that listen to my show that will say, yeah, I listened
43:02
to them, I binge listen. You know, I listened to like four
43:07
shows in a row. So media journalism whatever, is as live as it
43:10
ever was. It was just the way that we obtain it has changed a
43:14
little bit. It's so important and I always say this to get the younger
43:17
generation involved in radio podcasting and bringing people like Jarrett and Catherine who are kind
43:24
of in that younger age range, to really push Metro News and five eight
43:29
whs forward into that next generation of listeners. Because I ask people who are
43:34
in their twenties, I say, where do you get your news from?
43:37
And a lot of them they did. They don't, you know, they're
43:38
not always on Twitter known as x now, or they listen to you know,
43:44
podcasts, or they go on TikTok actually, and so sometimes what you're
43:47
seeing is news organizations turning to Instagram reels and tiktoks to have a little recap
43:53
of the story of the day because that's where the young people are getting their
43:55
news from. Yeah, you got and that's that's very important. What does
44:00
let's carry who to say? Doing her spare time? Oh my spare time.
44:04
I watched The Office and Friends and I call my mom at home.
44:08
But no, I used to I don't do this as much. I used
44:12
to teach at Capitol High School the marching band there, so that was years
44:16
ago. But I really did like teaching color guard and dancing. And I
44:22
like cooking. I'm a big I'm not that great of a cook, but
44:27
I try to do ryan and I like eating. Yeah, so yeah,
44:32
I like to try different different meals. What's your specialty before we go to
44:37
break what's your specialty? I always turn to Italian. That's because I'm part
44:39
of Italian So I do a pasta Bolognies that people love and it's with ground
44:45
beef and all these Italian seasonings and tomato sauce. And I make my mom's
44:49
homemade meatballs. She gave me the recipe. So yeah, anytime I'm asked
44:52
to make a meal, that's my go to. Danny Jones just walked in.
44:58
I mean, you never know who's going to show up here. Hey,
45:00
