3:35
you know, it's popularity, man. People are listening. They're doing something
3:38
right over there too, a Pepperoni grill. Okay, let's bring in Hannah
3:40
Gardner from the Canal Chosh, New Maine Association with this week's Adopt Me Please
3:45
Pet of the Week. Hannah, good morning, how are you. How
3:47
are you? I'm doing fine, And this is Adam Harris from from Mountain
3:51
States. I don't know whether you two know each other or not, but
3:53
Hannah I'm a dog lover and pet lover myself, My wife and I foster
3:58
kittens and so we're pet lover and looking forward to talking to you this morning.
4:01
That's awesome. So I've got the picture posted as we do each week,
4:06
to Dave Vali Radio on Facebook and add Dave A seventy on Twitter.
4:11
The dog's name is po Po, So tell us about Poe Hannah. He
4:18
is the cutest little thing. He is a boy. He's not fixed yet,
4:25
but he will be before he leaves his adoption. See is ninety five.
4:30
He is considered an adult dog. He is ten months old. He
4:34
is microchips vaccinated, and he came in as a stray, so we don't
4:41
really know too much about his background, but we do know that he prefers
4:46
being all dogs or more submissive mail dogs, so dogs that are going to
4:53
be more less alpha of the group. And he's very very playful and very
5:00
very active and really loves attention. So he needs someone who is maybe like
5:04
a young family that goes on walks or hikes or goes on a lot of
5:09
trips or something, because he definitely loves to be doing things at all times.
5:15
About how big of a dog is this, Hannah. I can tell
5:17
looking at the photo. He's just gorgeous. He's got pure white hair and
5:21
a big smile. This would be a fun addition to a dog for a
5:25
family that's looking for a dog. About how big is he? Yeah,
5:29
he is about thirty five pounds. He's rather he's not small, he's not
5:38
big. He's he's a good, medium, fun sized, easy go lucky
5:44
dog. He is just he's just a very good dog. Honestly, he's
5:47
very playful. He loves to run around. Um, he definitely likes toys
5:51
and stuff. So he's he's young, and he's a puppy and he needs
5:55
somebody who can match his energy, a lot of energy, it sounds like.
5:58
And Hannah, he came in as a stray. Do we know,
6:00
like from what area or what his story was or anything like that. Yeah,
6:05
he came in as a stray from cross lanes. Um so you live
6:10
in Adam, do you live a cross lane? I did until about a
6:13
year ago this time. Okay, so last year, okay, alright,
6:15
alright, go ahead. Yeah, he showed up at someone's house and they
6:19
had brought him in. Um so he went on a stray hold for a
6:23
while. But nobody ever claimed them. So he is available now. Um
6:28
and he, like I said, he's not fixed yet, but he will
6:30
be. He'll put him on the surgery schedule and get him fixed. And
6:33
then whenever you come up and you can say that you want to see Poe,
6:38
you can take him for a walk. And if you can't adopt just
6:41
yet and you want to see how it goes for the night or for the
6:44
weekend or something, you can always tell us that you want to foster him
6:47
for the weekend, and you are more than welcome to do. So.
6:50
He's a beautiful dog. And I mean, I'm not good at guessing what
6:54
types of what breed the dog is, but he's he's beatiful. I know
7:00
that, and he guesses honestly. No, he he could be a mixture
7:08
of things, Like he looks like he's got that square of katy face,
7:11
but then he also looks like he's got terrier in him, so I'm not
7:15
sure. Well, he's a beautiful dog regardless. Again. Hannah Gardner from
7:18
the Canal Charleston Umine Association with her dot me please pet of the week.
7:21
The dog's name is Poe. Go check. Take a look at Poe picture
7:26
posted to Dave on on Radio on Facebook and at Dave a seventy on Twitter,
7:30
and you said he's a very active dog and he and I like this,
7:32
Adam. He prefers female dogs or very submissive male dogs. So in
7:36
other words, he prefers dogs that are married. He likes married dogs once
7:40
you're submissive, Is that right? Right? Exactly? He seems like the
7:45
kind of dog has a lot of energy, also kind of likes to be
7:46
in charge maybe or wants to be the leader of the packet. Sounds like
7:50
yeah, he definitely does. He. If you if you do have a
7:56
male dog and you want to do like a meet and greet, you are
7:58
more than welcome to bring your dog up to the shelter. So don't meet
8:01
and meet with one of our dogs as long as they are an adult dog,
8:07
so that way you can kind of see and better gauge on how it's
8:09
going to go. I do always say that dogs are different out of the
8:16
shelter are as they are in the shelter. Som if that were to change,
8:22
then you know, great, But as the shelter, he's really turned
8:26
to female dogs and submissive male dogs. Well, hopefully we can get Poe
8:31
adopted. By the way, I want to throw this out there and I
8:33
didn't. I want to surprise you with this. But you remember Cruton,
8:37
right, the dog that we got adopted last year. Kruton is our big
8:39
success story the Shepherd family. I think out of Saint Albans, I want
8:45
to say, adopted Kruton. Cruton was an absolutely beautiful dog. And I've
8:50
never met the people that adopted Kruton in person, but we kind of became
8:54
Facebook friends and she's always posting. She has a she has a thing called
8:58
the Chronicles of Kruton that she does, and I sent Hannah some pictures this
9:01
week because this is their one year anniversary of Cruton that was adopted from this
9:05
show. And this dog is just turned out to be I mean, we've
9:09
had a lot of success stories at him, but this is probably the biggest
9:11
one because this was an older dog. Do you remember, Hannah how old
9:15
Cruton was? And that I know that, and she's probably listening. She
9:18
can probably text us up and tell us. But he was an older dog,
9:20
if I if I remember correctly, right, seven eight years old?
9:22
Maybe? Yeah, I believe he was maybe about seven or something, yeah,
9:26
and uh that he went to that family and I mean, she's always
9:31
posting pictures of him, and as I said, it's the chronic chronicles of
9:33
Cruton, what he's doing in different places. It's it's it's been a fantastic
9:37
so and I brought that up because they did the gotcha, you know,
9:41
the one year anniversary thing. Uh, and I saw her she posts on
9:43
Facebook. That's our that's our big story. You guys are feeling a need
9:46
there as well. I mean, senior dogs. There's so much need for
9:50
homes and pets, and there's such a diversity of needs. We're hearing from
9:52
one now in the background. That's personal. That's that's Hannah's dogs. That's
9:56
she's not even at the shelter. Yeah, that's but that's the truth.
10:01
And no matter what your needs are, I'm sure the Humane Society could help
10:03
you find a pet that's going to be right for your family. And even
10:07
though Poe is a high energy dog, there might be a senior dog that
10:09
maybe is perhaps a little more fitting for you as as an energy dog.
10:13
That's right, Yeah, exactly, it might be a better fit for somebody
10:18
like Dave. And so I know if you go to the shelter looking for
10:20
a pet, you'll find one that's a good fit. Yeah, absolutely,
10:24
all right Hannah before we let you go. Oh, you were only a
10:26
couple of weeks away from Texas and Tales at your big fundraiser Capital Market.
10:31
It's a Derby thing this year, talk about them. Yeah. So it
10:35
is May sixth, which is Saturday, and it is at seven pm.
10:39
So we have a Facebook event that you can go to our Facebook page and
10:46
see where it's as Texas and Tales twenty twenty three and pretty much the tickets
10:52
cover your food, your drink, the whole dj EJ photo booth, contest,
10:58
games like that. So it is going to be so much fun and
11:01
we hope that everybody comes out and has so much fun with them. Yeah,
11:05
it is, and it's we're definitely looking forward to it again. And
11:07
it's the whole Derby theme. So you can dress in your Derby attire if
11:11
you if you choose to do that. Great food. One of my favorite
11:13
places in Charleston, soho's there in Capital Market is going to be providing the
11:16
food. You got specialty cocktails. There's a silent auction you said, dj
11:20
Eju. That's right. Dj EJ is gonna be there and a dot some
11:24
Derby, I understand right yet, so that is a newer thing because I
11:31
just learned about that the other day as well. So I'm not exactly sure
11:35
what all that's Donna and Tael, I mean, obviously we know what it
11:37
is, but but I'm excited to see how it all goes down. I
11:41
think it's going to be so fun and so cute to watch. Well,
11:46
I think it will be too. And we got time to talk about that
11:48
too, because I'll have you on Leanto two more times between and now and
11:50
then. Hannah Gardner, as always, I appreciate you being here. Thanks
11:54
a lot, and I'll keep telling the story of Poe and hopefully we can
11:58
have another Cruton story with Poe and get Poe adopted out because Poe would be
12:01
a great dog. Thanks a lot, Hannah, we'll talk soon. Thank
12:03
you. And a gardener from the Canal Charleston Main Association. The dog's name
12:07
is Poe h not fixed yet, but we'll be soon. He's around thirty
12:11
five pounds ten months old. He is microchipped and has had all of his
12:16
shots. Came in as a stray from the cross lanes here. Maybe maybe
12:18
Adam, he just got tired of fighting the traffic and he's out of here,
12:24
and so he's in the shelter right now. It would be a beautiful
12:26
dog for your family. And again I urge you go over to my Facebook
12:28
page, Dave Allen Radio or at Dave A seventy on Twitter and take a
12:31
look at it. I actually, Hannah, normally, you know, she'll
12:35
just send me a picture of one picture of the dog. Last night he
12:37
sent me too. She said, I can't decide which one. So you
12:39
know, I said, you know what, let's just go with both of
12:41
them. Let's just go with both of them. And so what yeah,
12:43
it is. It would prefers female dogs or a very submissive male dogs.
12:46
But still, as you said, Adam, dog's young, so it could
12:50
possibly be worked with them. No, but no, but no behavior issues.
12:52
An tells me it would learn to be a good dog no matter what.
12:56
And I'm sure it would be a great with kids as well. So
13:00
that is our I dobt me. Please. Pet of the Week from the

16:57
friend Eating Douglas from The Dirty Birds with us right now? Even good morning?
17:00
How are you? Good morning? I'm well, how are you?
17:03
Thank you for being here, Adam Harris from Mountain Stage. Do you two
17:07
now? I feel like I'm always introducing people on Friday Night. I don't
17:10
know if we've met in real life or not, but I'm certainly aware of
17:11
all the good work you do over there. Oh thank you. Yeah,
17:15
I don't think we've met yet, but thank you for that appreciation. Well
17:18
now you have now. Originally, I do want to say a little programming
17:21
that we had the food guy Stephen Keith. We all read his weekly column
17:23
and the exact mail to join us. Davids and things with his regular job
17:29
came up so he couldn't make it. We'll have him on in the future
17:30
show. But it actually kind of worked out well because Eden, you got
17:33
a lot to say about these games tonight and tomorrow with the Savannah Banana's coming
17:37
to town, and I know it's been nuts for you folks, it has.
17:41
I feel like it's been non stop all week. But they actually pulled
17:45
up yesterday and a huge semi with all of their equipment at ten am.
17:49
And we have not stopped since, I mean, trying to get everything ready
17:53
with them. But it's actually kind of amazing because their entire staffage here like
17:57
it is their show. They are running it. They're just playing our team,
18:02
and I feel like we're just here. But it's absolutely incredible to how
18:06
nice they've been, how great they've been to work with the last day or
18:08
two, and we're super excited. Does it feel like you're almost like a
18:11
visiting team in your own ballpark because they came in so self sustained, it
18:17
does? I mean? And then we got a text yesterday that said,
18:18
just a reminder, the Dirty Birds will be the away team for this weekend.
18:22
So that's definitely going to be rubbing it in. Well. I saw
18:27
that one of their players went down to my almal Water down to Logan High
18:30
School yesterday to speak to some I guess little leaguers or something down There's it
18:34
right eaton, Yeah, I did see that they had I want to say
18:38
it was about three or four of them that were went down there yesterday,
18:41
but they actually ended up taking VP. They got into town about five o'clock,
18:45
the players did, and they took VP and did a little rehearsal in
18:48
our field, and I was sitting up in one of the suits trying to
18:51
get work done, and I see a guy rolling in a barrel across and
18:55
like started going back foods off of it. So that's what batting practice is
18:59
for the this is rolling in a barrel, all right. So hopefully even
19:03
people got their tickets. And if you recall, and I recall, that
19:07
night, the tickets were pretty much gone as soon as they went on sale.
19:11
In fact, ticket demand crashed the Savannah Bananas website. But I want
19:15
to make sure we get this out there to people. Even it's important to
19:18
note that you guys, and you guys, I mean the dirty Birds had
19:22
absolutely nothing to do with ticket sales for this game. No, nothing at
19:26
all, and I mean that's unfortunate. But also this is just the way
19:30
that the Savannah Bananas are and how their organization works, and the best way
19:34
to describe its people is that as a field rental, I mean, like
19:37
I said yesterday, their entire staff is here and it is their show.
19:41
So we had nothing to do with ticketing. The only thing we'll be running
19:44
this week in our concessions and all of our vendors. So but the everything
19:48
you see this weekend is strictly from the Bananas. All the video board,
19:52
all of the scoreboard, I mean just absolutely everything is from them. And
19:56
they even switched our main entry. Our main entry is typically at the Morris
20:00
Street gate where the box office is, but there's going to be a pregame
20:03
party and the main gate will be on the Lewis Street side at the home
20:07
plate date for the Dirty Birds at the ballpark. So they're switching everything up
20:11
on us and we have nothing to do with it. It's very interesting,
20:15
it is. That's a good way to put it, an Adam, you
20:17
know a little something about this. It's basically like just a rental. They
20:21
basically rented Gilmart Park tonight for this game and tomorrow night as well. So
20:26
it's it's a very different venture because, as we said, other than putting
20:32
the players on the field and the Dirty Birds are the away team in this,
20:37
you don't really have a whole lot to do with this game. I
20:38
mean, I mean, obviously you're gonna do the concessions and things of that
20:41
nature, but everything else, as you said, from the video board on
20:45
down is all Savannah Bananas. It is, and they're actually teaching our guys
20:49
at two o'clock today, they're going to be teaching our guys how to play
20:52
banana ball and kind of go over some dance routines. So I'm really excited
20:56
to see our guys Coully participate in some stuff and Adam, you know,
21:02
And we're getting talking to Adam a little bit later on, but Adam's other
21:04
other career. In addition to being the main guy to Mountain Stage, Adam
21:08
is also in the pro wrestling business. So there's a lot of similarities.
21:12
You and I were talking about it, you and Coop and I were talking
21:15
about it's sports entertainment. This is sports entertainment, you know. And I
21:18
think the Bananas have picked up on something here that is that is obviously very
21:22
successful and very popular and no wonder you know, that's why they want to
21:26
do this. And I want to say, ask a question about the tickets
21:29
or just to go back to that for because I know we've had at Mountain
21:30
Stage, we've had some tickets that were in such high demand and sell out
21:34
quickly, but then they crop up in other places online. And you mentioned
21:37
that someone said our tickets really five hundred dollars day earlier. You know,
21:41
and it's like, and that same thing happened for a couple of shows that
21:44
we did, like when we had Tyler Childer's. People are like, who's
21:45
charging to it? Why would you charge to our fifty dollars? Well,
21:48
if you look, that's actually a paid ad from some sort of a secondary
21:52
market or something like that, and it's not Power Park or even the bananas.
21:55
That's a resell market. Is that right? Is that how you understand
21:57
it, Hannah, Yeah, that's how That's how we're understanding it. Whenever
22:03
the tickets originally went on sale from the Bananas, we were under the impression
22:07
that they were only twenty five dollars. And I think that's why people are
22:10
like all over the place, is because why I might having to pay an
22:12
arm and a leg for the bananas and they were originally twenty five dollars,
22:17
So they're like all resale scalpers. But that's just how it is. Yeah,
22:22
And I think some people there's just a lack of understanding I think sometimes
22:25
with people and how that works. And the secondary market for tickets is huge,
22:30
it is. And we made an announcement that the dirty birds, you
22:33
know, don't have anything to do with ticketing for the event, but it
22:37
is at our ballpark, so I do get the confusion. But it is
22:41
important to know that we did everything we could and that everything that we were
22:44
supposed to do, and we're ready to get the events rolling. And if
22:47
you've got your tickets, you're a very lucky person. You're gonna have a
22:49
great time. And I never want to promote the fact that people are doing
22:55
as Adams's secondary market, which is a nice way of saying scalpers, but
22:59
but I have seen people that are even friends of and things do come up,
23:03
you know, people that aren't scalping them. I've seen people online posting,
23:07
hey, I'm not gonna be able to go family emergency, got to
23:08
work or whatever selling for so not everybody that's reselling the tickets. Guys are
23:14
doing it in that fashion. I saw a post from somebody that said that,
23:17
hey, I just want what I paid for them because because I suddenly
23:19
got called out to work and game careful in the comments though, because a
23:22
very popular post will find comments I've got two tickets. I've got two tickets,
23:26
and that could be very much a farce. You know, that could
23:27
be a scam for sure. And next thing you know, you've paypaled somebody
23:30
fifty dollars and you're out and you're not going to the game. And it's
23:33
so no fault to the dirty birds because nothing dirty birds can do about that.
23:37
So other than the different entrance for the game, even let's talk about
23:41
to other protocols anything. If I've got my tickets and I'm going to the
23:45
game tonight or tomorrow night, and we'll talk about weather coming up there in
23:48
just a little bit. But I go to the game tonight or tomorrow night,
23:49
what would I see different? So the main difference is that they will
23:56
enter through the Lewis Street side, through that gate where the Plausa is.
24:02
There'll be a pre party with a banana band, and that'll be the kind
24:04
of the main entrance. But eventually we'll open up the More Street side where
24:08
the box office gate is to try to get all these people in here and
24:11
make sure they're in here and in their seats by seven whenever the event starts.
24:15
The Smith Street side will be the VP or v I D as they
24:21
like to call it, and kids club entrance at four forty five. But
24:26
as far as that, that's about the only difference. No outside food and
24:30
beverage like always, there is not This is one of our biggest questions.
24:34
There is not a clear bag policy. We do not have that at the
24:37
ballpark. But every bag will be checks upon jury. All right, So
24:41
make sure that you know that what time is the Lewis Street gate open?
24:47
That will be at five thirty. Gates open at five thirty. Yeah,
24:49
all right. Five Ady Live is brought to part by Generations Physical Therapy seven

25:02
I hate to say it because I know there's a lot of activities going
25:04
on in Charleston and around the surrounding areas. You got the of the end
25:08
of Racism run, I think, which is tomorrow, Adam, you probably
25:11
know more about that than I think. I think I think it is.
25:15
I'll be at the West Virginia Food Truck Festival tomorrow over in Putnam County.
25:18
I'll be serving as MC for that. They got rain in the forecast eating,
25:21
So what happens, uh if if we were heaven forbid to get rained
25:26
out tomorrow? Look, today looks good, But what happens if if if
25:27
we get the rain tomorrow as of now, if it would rain, the
25:33
makeup day for the game will be Sunday at one pm. So every ticket
25:37
that people will have for Saturday's games, they're able to use it on Sunday
25:41
at one pm. But fingers crossed, there's not one. There's not a
25:45
rainout, but if there happens to be, that is the backup plan is
25:48
Sunday at one pm. Okay, very good, because I mean, these
25:51
these folks are so in demand eating that they can't just say, well,
25:55
we'll stick around it like Tuesday, because there they're often gone somewhere else for
25:57
a Tuesday game. So that would be and it is all right. We'll
26:00
get back to the bananas here in just a couple of moments, but before
26:03
we go, let's talk dirty birds, talk about the team that employs you,
26:07
and let's talk about opening Day, which is a road game. Win
26:10
is that Opening day is April twenty eighth. We start on the road out
26:14
to Staten Island and then we are back at the ballpark here in Charleston on
26:18
May night, and that's the home opener May night. So it's gonna be
26:21
a lot of fun as it as it always is, and we'll plan on
26:25
as we get closer to that opening day or the home open, or anyway
26:27
I planned on having if the schedule allows you, maybe a couple of players
26:30
and my gay Billy Horn, the manager of the Dirty Birds in the studio
26:36
as well. All right, Eden, we wish you the best of luck
26:38
with everything, because I know it's going to be a stressful twenty four hours.
26:41
But you knew that when you signed up for this gig. Okay,
26:44
all right, it's gonna be a lot of fun, and I know a
26:47
lot of people are really really going to enjoy it. I gotta I don't
26:49
care to I mentioned his name, but I got a text from a good
26:52
friend of mine to day that said, any chance you can get me tickets
26:53
for the game, and I was That was about eight fifteen this morning,
26:57
and with all due respect, I texted back and said, uh, is
27:00
this a joke that kind of got? I got nothing I can get you
27:07
like autograph pictures of Dale Cooper. That's about the only thing I can get
27:10
you, and that there's no guarantee that's even spelled right here. So all
27:12
right, Eden, Uh, thanks good luck with everything, and uh and
27:17
we will talk to you soon. Thanks a lot, d Eaton Douglass with
27:21
the dirty Birds. I mean, I can't imagine, Adam. I think,
27:23
I mean, it is exciting, but I can't imagine. I don't
27:26
want to say, well, I guess it's a maybe it's a good and
27:29
a bad kind of stress with what they're because when I talked to eat when
27:32
I talked to Eaton last night, um, you know, she was still
27:34
at the ballpark trying to you know, and she she said, we were
27:37
that they were trying to leave because it is a business and they were trying
27:41
to go home like normal people. And the phone's still ringing off the hook
27:44
with people wanting tickets for this, for this event. And good for them,
27:47
I mean, I know it. They must be working so hard and
27:48
it must be weird to feel like a stranger in your own home, almost
27:51
like they're taking orders from other people. It sounds like, you know,
27:53
and they've got to follow the protocols of the bananas. But yeah, it's
27:56
a great blessing to have that many people fill the ballpark. It's generating a
28:00
lot of interest. I think there's people coming from all over the East Coast,
28:03
if not the country to be here for this. Hey, I mentioned.
28:06
I mentioned to a listeners Adam month or two ago, I was up
28:10
in Marietta, Ohio, which is kind of like my second home these days.
28:12
I was up in Marietta at the Chamber of Commerce center and one of
28:15
the higher ups with the with the bananas was the guest speaker up there and
28:19
was promoting this game in Charleston. And I was sitting around people that were
28:25
all saying, oh, yeah, we got our tickets were coming. I
28:26
mean, and that's you know. I mean, it's not like Marietta's in
28:29
Cleveland. It's an hour and a half away from downtown Charleston. But but
28:32
still, I mean, it just goes to show you the demand of this.
28:36
I do want to get this in there. I did mention that the
28:37
Westernginia Food Truck Festival is tomorrow. That's where I'll be tomorrow over in Putnham
28:41
County to Fairgrounds and Evildore noon to five lots of great food, music,
28:45
games, and a whole lot more. If you need more information, they're
28:47
sold out on food trucks as far as taking new food trucks. There at
28:49
their limit on food trucks right now. If you need more information, you
28:52
can call the Putnham County Convention Visitors Bureau about that three or four seven five
28:56
seven sixty five ten. Three or four seven five, seven sixty five ten
29:00
and talking to the folks from the c CBB yesterday, they're gonna go.
29:04
It's a rain or shine event now. Ponchos are welcome, umbrellas are welcome.
29:10
The only way that they would postpone it would be if there were like
29:14
lightning, you know, lightning or widespread flooding or things that which doesn't look
29:18
like it's going to be the case. I think that's gonna be really fun.
29:19
And I love the fairgrounds in Eleanor. It's just so beautiful. It's
29:22
such a wonderful drive out there. It's one of my favorite parts of the
29:26
county and I love the fair grounds. I think that's gonna be really fun.
29:29
I'm jealous you get to hang out there a well. You know,
29:30
there's a lot of great music, a lot of great bands. You and
29:33
I were talking about the bands earlier that are going to be there, and
29:36
I'll get some information posted about it on the day Land radio and Facebook.
29:38
And one of the great things about this too, there is always a charitable
29:44
component of this Adam and uh and this year it is it's an organization called
29:48
Bamboo Bridge. And what Bamboo Bridge does, it's a transit. It's a
29:51
it's a transitional home and transitional services for kids or now young adults that are
29:56
transitioning out of the foster care program because they've been in a foster care program
30:00
and sometimes they don't have the basic skills. Now, okay, well you're
30:03
eighteen, you're on your own, you know, and they haven't had a
30:07
lot of that. So that's what they do. There is no admission to
30:10
get into the food truck festival. It's absolutely free. If you just if
30:12
you don't want to take part in the food and you just want to come
30:15
and enjoy the music, you can do that. Gates open it to noon
30:18
tomorrow of the Putnam County Fairgrounds and elinor no admission to get in. However,
30:23
there are gonna be like rifles and things of that nature to raise money
30:26
for this organization, Bamboo Bridge, and that's where the money goes. That
30:30
the food trucks themselves pay to be in it. Now, the food is
30:33
not free. You're gonna have to pay for the food if you want the
30:36
food, and you can't bring any food from the outside and things that nature.
30:38
Dogs dogs are welcome, though anna size crowds. If it was free
30:42
food, it's not free well you know, you know, we would be
30:45
the first ones in line. But there's all different kinds of foods available.
30:48
And as I said, I'm gonna be serving as EMC. I've done it
30:51
every I think nearly every year that they've done it. So if you get
30:55
an opportunity to come and join us tomorrow over into Putnam County Fairgrounds and Elinor
30:57
it's beautiful, beautiful rain or shine. We're gonna be there. Gates open
31:02
at noon tomorrow, so it's definitely going to be a lot of fun.
31:04
And admission is free. So if on Saturday, take him some food.
31:11
He said, last year he went home hungry, and nobody should leave a
31:12
food fest. I did this last year. He's so busy. I did
31:17
actually not get to eat last year because I was busy on stage and they
31:22
and the and they sold out of food. Reason to get there earliest,
31:26
but they sold out. They don't have an infinite amount of food in these
31:29
trucks. Yeah, I mean, you're gon only carry so much that they
31:30
sold out so my wife told me I get home and she said, you're
31:33
the only person I know they can go to a food truck festival and come
31:34
home and like tear up the refrigerator because you're once so beat. Speaking of

35:16
Jeff Petty as our producer today. Adam Harris from Mountain Stage is my
35:20
special Friday guest host. Adam and I have known each other. I did
35:23
the math for around eight years or so, and I'll quickly tell a story
35:25
of how we met. We were both chosen to go through a business program
35:30
called Leadership West Virginia. It's a wonderful program, by the way, and
35:34
if you were selected to go through the program, they take you round.
35:37
It's like fifty or so business professionals. They take you all around the state
35:39
and you learned about different areas of the state and learn about each other and
35:43
things of that nature. Different themes every time. Had a great time doing
35:46
that. In our particular group, we had the Mayor of Charleston and Amy
35:51
Schuler who's a tourism commissioner at the time, Tim Brady from the cvb Rick
35:57
Cavender from Charleston Main Streets, and Kona County Board. General Hoyer always always
36:04
great, how agreed to hang out around us for some reason. Always great
36:06
to be friends with somebody that has access to tanks. I've always said that.
36:09
Uh, And we were all thankful to General Horrior during the pandemic.
36:14
Yeah, and there are all kinds of great but I have to say,
36:19
uh that one of the things, the one reasons Adam and I hit it
36:22
off with each other was because you're asking this program to write down a fact
36:25
about yourself that no one would know like you because it couldn't be related to
36:29
your career, like with Adam being with Mountain State. We would't ask about
36:31
music, but something like that. And my fact was I had been in
36:35
the pro wrestling business for like whatever it was at the time, twenty five
36:37
twenty seven years. And Adam came up and said, I kind of meet
36:40
you, and not because not because of Dave Allen, but because because of
36:45
my involvement in the in the wrestling business. And so that's that's like your
36:47
second gig now, Man, I got you into business. Unbelievable. I
36:51
owe you a lot, Jay because you did. You got me into the
36:52
business. It has been about seven years now, and you took me to
36:55
an ASW show and without me even really knowing or you didn't ask me.
36:59
You were just like, this is Adam. He's gonna step in his ring
37:00
announcer, you know, and I've never ring announced before except in my wrestling
37:05
Figure Federation, you know, back as a kid, you know, playing
37:07
with my hasbros. But uh, you're having a good time. It's been
37:09
a great fit. Yeah. Man, I just love it ever so much
37:13
and it just it keeps me connected to what makes me feel young. And
37:16
it's cool to be a part of such a camaraderie. It is kind of
37:19
like a fraternity and it is ways it is and it's it's its own family.
37:22
And so I thank you. I owe that to you. Well,
37:24
I'm glad to do it. And I tell I had a lot of fun
37:28
in the in the business, uh met, A lot of people traveled to
37:30
a lot of locations. I mean, it was a lot of fun.
37:34
But saying yeah, it really was. And we could talk about wrestling all
37:37
day, but I want to talk about a little bit about you and about
37:40
Mountain States. First of all, give us the bio on Adam Harris,
37:44
give us hometown, your stats, you know, tailed the tape on Adam
37:46
Harris. Cool. Cool. Yeah. I grew up in Greenboro County,
37:50
UM, and I went to college in Radford University where we had a music
37:54
business program and I got a degree in music business, which was, you
37:59
know, a little more glamorous sounding that it actually was. It was like
38:01
music classes and business classes and there are only a couple that overlapped. But
38:06
I had to have an internship to get my degree, and so I applied
38:09
to be an intern at Mountain Stage here in Charleston, and my aunt and
38:13
uncle Larry and Larry and Aunt Margie invited me to live with them in Nitro,
38:17
in the Polka area actually, and I'd stayed with them while I did
38:21
a four hundred and sixty hour internship with Mountain Stage, and that helped me
38:24
get my degree, and I just stuck around. I fortunately, the lady
38:29
who trained me as assistant producer was moving on to get a real job,
38:32
and they brought me in in October of o five as a part timer.
38:37
And I stuck around doing just about every job you can do. I mean,
38:39
I've wrapped cables on stage. I did a stage hand, you know,
38:42
I've loaded the truck. I've rode along with the production truck, booked
38:45
hotel rooms, booked some travel for the crew. And eventually my predecessor,
38:52
Andy Ridenhower, who started the show with Larry Gross back in nineteen eighty three,
38:58
he was ready to retire and so they asked me to become the executive
39:00
producer of the show and that was in August of twenty twelve. So I'm
39:04
coming up on eleven years now of being the executive producer of Mountain Stage.
39:07
And if you don't know what Mountain Stage is, it's a public radio program.
39:10
We tape it in front of a live audience, so folks buy a
39:13
ticket, usually at the Culture Center here on the Capital grounds. They come
39:15
and they witness a two hour radio show, and then it's broadcast later on
39:20
about two hundred and eighty stations across the country. So it is actually an
39:22
attraction. People come from all over the country to see it. And last
39:25
week's show we actually had I think there was more people from out of state
39:29
than there was in the audience. You know. We always ask as anybody
39:30
from out of state, and they raised their hands from all over the country,
39:34
from Florida, from New Jersey, from Philadelphia, Ohio. Virginia.
39:37
Really fun to see people coming to experience live music in West Virginia and that
39:40
and I feel some of us sometimes here in West Virginia we may take it
39:45
for granted and maybe we don't appreciate it like it should. But as you
39:47
said, the rest of the country definitely does not take it, does not
39:52
take it for granted. There's people who listen every week on their public radio
39:57
station and we hear it. Some people come and I just love it when
39:59
they said this is a bucket list for me. You know, I've been
40:00
listening to twenty years and I can only imagine like what they imagine in their
40:04
mind that Mountain stage is, you know, because if you've never been to
40:07
it, you hear it on the radio, and so it's it's almost like
40:08
your imagination takes over. But I know that once people come to see the
40:13
show, they appreciate it in a whole new way. And now they can
40:15
kind of visualize what's going on. You know, they're probably a little disappointed
40:19
what our looks, but you know, once they adjust to that, it's
40:22
it's a fun thing. And people were amazed at how quickly we do things.
40:25
You know, we turn over bands really quickly. We do our theme
40:28
song live every time. People think it's like prerecorded and we just roll tape.
40:32
Now we do it live every time. And this is our fortieth season
40:36
and so we've been celebrating all year and in December will be officially our fortieth
40:39
birthday, and we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming up, but we're
40:43
gonna be announcing some cool road shows. It's been cool. We've been invited
40:45
to some of the areas where we're carried out. And where are some of
40:49
the places that you've taken the road show. I mean we're not talking this
40:51
shily just about going to Wheeling. I mean you can take that for sure.
40:54
Yeah. Well, um, I think it was twenty eleven we got
40:57
invited to Glasgow, Scotland to be a part of the Celtic Connections festival.
41:00
So that's my only international travel with the show. But then we also went
41:04
to Fairbanks, Alaska, which took longer actually to get to Fairbanks than it
41:07
did to the Glasgow. We're just about as long. We've done some roadshows
41:12
in northern Minnesota. We've been to Ashland, Kentucky. We've been to Lexington,
41:15
Kentucky. We're going to be in Marietta in a couple of weeks on
41:19
May the seventh, up at Mariette at the People's Bank Theater with a love
41:22
it up there and I love the drive to Marietta. And we'll be in
41:25
Athens, Ohio next weekend with Wilco. But that one sold out, kind
41:29
of like the bananas and like your fifty fifty, that show is sold out.
41:31
So but yeah, so we like to go where we're invited. You
41:35
know, we have done the show. We do it Morgantown pretty regularly.
41:37
We've been to Beckley, We've been to Princeton and Bluefield over the years,
41:40
and trying to go wherever people will have us because that brings the show kind
41:45
of to the front of them listeners mind, they're reminded that, oh I
41:47
can listen to this every week on the radio, and so it's more likely
41:51
to keep them engaged. And when we go on the road, we take
41:52
Charleston with us. You know, tourism is two tourism industry. Our agencies
41:59
are our major supporters, and so we have the same goal, which is
42:01
improving the image of West Virginia to those outside our borders and hopefully attracting them
42:06
here and bringing them here, you know, get some heads in beds.
42:07
And not only do we get them here, we try to keep them here
42:09
as long as we can. And so in partnership, I think we do.
42:13
That's what we're trying to do is give people a positive image of West
42:16
Virginia. And when these people come, this is and anytime that I,
42:20
you know, my wife and I go out of town for a concert and
42:21
event of whatever. We don't just go to the show and turn around to
42:22
come back, right. You know, you're gonna go to dinner. You're
42:24
gonna go and you're gonna take in some of the other things, especially if
42:28
you're coming from from a long distance away before we go to break and we'll
42:30
come back with ten questions. So in the days leading up to the show
42:35
and on the day of a show, what are your primarily your primary responsibilities?
42:38
Oh gosh, or should I just say what are not your responsibilities?
42:42
Well, you know, I'm part of a really great team, and you
42:44
know, logistically, my friend Jeff Shirley handles a lot of the finer points
42:47
of the details. He's the one who tells us when who somebody's flying in.
42:52
He says, this is where the hotel rooms are, this is how
42:53
many rooms they have. But sometimes there's some troubleshooting. You know, you
42:57
just never know when you're gonna check your email on Friday evening or Sarah day
43:00
morning. There could be a travel problem. You know. We had a
43:02
band breakdown with a tire on their van not too long ago, and so
43:07
it's just kind of like a constant state of alert, you know, in
43:10
case something happens and you just have to deal with them. And hopefully by
43:15
the time I get there on show day, I have to get a few
43:17
pieces of paper together each artist has each each artist has to get some papers
43:23
to me for certain reasons. One of those is their check. They have
43:25
some tax info to fill out. We asked them for a song list of
43:29
what they're going to do on the show, and then a short intro sheet
43:31
for Larry or Kathy our host and so Kathy Mattea our host. Yeah,
43:36
and so just to verify some quick information with that. And so as long
43:39
as I get those in and I make sure every artist knows how long to
43:42
play. Those are the two biggest things, as long as they know what
43:45
they expect when they get on stage. And then otherwise, we have an
43:47
amazing crew, a team of about twenty five people who make the show happen
43:51
and they make my job easy. I get a lot of credit. A
43:53
lot of people see me as a public facing part of the show, but
43:58
behind the scenes, there's a huge and crew that that gets the show done.
44:00
And what I love about it, and we'll do this good. A
44:01
break is the amount of artists and their companies that reach out to you.
44:06
You don't necessarily always have to go out to them. They're saying, hey,
44:08
and I still remember the story from the early nineteen nineties. I don't
44:12
remember. I want to say ninety ninety one. So the Rim story Rim
44:15
played I think two concerts that year. I think maybe one was like something
44:19
that was three It was Yeah and Mountain. That's the only three concerts that
44:23
are M did in that year was Saturday Night Live, MTVM, Plug and
44:28
Mountain State. People are still talking and they're still talking about all right,
44:30
nine fifty two, they're gonna talk about you doing ten questions, Okay,

Adam Harris here with us. Adam from Mountain Stage and Pro Wrestling fame,
47:27
dual dual citizenship in those two things, music and wrestling. All right,
47:30
it's hard to play ten questions. I have before me ten questions each week.
47:34
I asked my Friday co host ten questions. You have not seen the
47:37
questions. You have no idea what I'm about to ask you. Getting into
47:40
position, I feel like I'm about to have a race. All right,
47:43
Are you ready, sir? I'm ready? All right? Here we go.
47:46
Comedy, drama, action or horror. Oh, definitely comedy city or
47:52
country. Oh. I like Charleston because it's a mix of both cake or
47:58
pie. Dang uh. In most cases, I think I'm gonna go with
48:02
pie. Okay, Yeah, A city or particular place you've never been before
48:07
but would like to go someday. Holy cow, there's a lot of places
48:10
I would like to go. I always wanted to visit Calgary, Alberta,
48:13
Canada, because that was the home of Breath to hit Man's heart. That's
48:15
always goes back to wrestling. Favorite toy as a kid. Oh well,
48:21
the first toys I remember loving were my he Man figures, So I guess
48:23
I guess I would go with that. I love the California Raisins from the
48:27
Hardys. Uh kids meals um California Raisins. I had all the super friends
48:32
growing up. My parents were so good to me when it came to toys.
48:35
But then, definitely, the WWF hasbrost complete this sentence. I probably
48:40
could not go a single day without I could not go a single day without
48:51
telling my wonderful wife that I love Everybody say, oh, I couldn't do
48:55
wrestling on that one. That's probably just as a stop stop right now,
49:00
all right? I can go back in time to relive a period in my
49:04
life. Is it childhood, teen years, early adult, or where I
49:08
am now? I often think too. When I was eighteen years old,
49:12
I had a job at a convenience store in sam Black, West, Virginia.
49:15
Uh. And that's as carefree as I'll ever be. Okay. I
49:17
had no worries, no bills, and a paycheck and worked. I loved
49:21
my job. It was great. Uh. First name only, I'm in
49:24
serious trouble. Who am I calling? And please don't say Ghostbusters. Oh.
49:30
If I'm in serious trouble, I am calling my sister Amy definitely.
49:34
Okay, Yeah, yeah, all right, final question, And since you
49:36
are a wrestling guy, Okay, I even threw some of these names in
49:38
here, Okay, Rick Flair, O hul Coogan, Sean Michaels, bred
49:45
Hart, Steve Austin or Dusty Rhodes. Oh my, oh my, Son
49:47
of the Plumber. I just watched the A and E biography. We played
49:52
loose a couple of facts, but of course that's it. If I have
49:58
to pick a favorite, um, it's gotta be Brett Hart. He was
50:00
my favorite growing up. Him and mister perfect SummerSlam ninety two or ninety one,
50:04
rather my favorite match of all time. All right, see now that
50:07
was that? That was fun. Ten more? No, I don't have
50:08
ten more. Let's talk. Let's close out show. We're talking about the
50:13
wrestling thing a little bit. Everybody's got a side hustle. I tell people
50:15
I don't have a job. I just have three side hustles. So thank
50:21
you. So you can be found ring announcing a lot of different places for
50:23
various wrestling organizations. I know you were a fan growing up, but when
50:28
did you first discover a true love for the business. Oh, well,
50:31
love for the business, you know. I didn't really think of it as
50:34
a business until you got me introduced to it. I always kind of just
50:37
wanted to remain on the outside. But listen, my um. I have
50:39
two memories of wrestling. One was running home the first week we had cable
50:44
and trying to and I couldn't wait to get home from church to surf the
50:47
thirteen channels that we had on the television, and I turned it on and
50:52
I saw Earthquake go off the ropes. He tied Jake the snake Roberts into
50:57
the ropes and then squashed his snake Damien, I remember, and I was
51:00
hooked from day one. But then also my cousin Joe Ellen, took me
51:04
and my younger cousin or my other cousin Michael and Mark, to see wrestling
51:07
at the Civic Center at the Coliseum here in Charleston. It was February fourteenth,
51:10
nineteen ninety two, and in the opening match, Harley Race, the
51:15
legendary NBA champion, was managing mister Hughes at that time, and he helps,
51:20
he cheated and helped mister Hughes get the win. And the lady next
51:22
to me went berserch. She was so mad chalking another one up for Harley
51:27
Race like that, and I kind of like jumped back. I was a
51:29
little taken off off by it, but I realized, like, wow,
51:30
this is kind of like what we're supposed to do here, and I went
51:32
crazy, My cousins went crazy, and we had a great time, and
51:36
I've remembered that always. You know, one of my favorite parts about going
51:38
to shows is just making noise, and I think that's the release that people
51:43
will get when they go to professional wrestling. It's why people love it.
51:45
It helps you, It helps you disconnect from reality kind of helps you forget
51:49
about everything that's going on, and they're going to play us off. The
51:52
crowd is responding, and so that must mean our time is getting short,
51:55
Dave. But man, it was so fun to hang with you this morning,
51:58
Adam Harris A Mountain Saints. Next Mountain State show is we're gonna be
