• 2:36
  Speaker 3: this morning? Good to see you as well. How are
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: how are you doing how's that. How is your holiday?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: That's very good. You know, the Christmas is going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: be tiring and fun at the same time. So we're
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: just enjoying the family time and we host at our
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: house and it's always great fly over and have a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: feast and share some love and some memories and that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it's good.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So yeah, absolutely true. It's really one of those things
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: that you know, there's the gifts, and there's all of
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the things that happens at the holiday, but really it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: about the time you get to spend with your family.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I was fortunate enough to have some time off before Christmas,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and so it's a nice elongated period. I had a
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: week off before Christmas and then the week of Christmas
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: was a little light, so it was nice. It was
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: very nice. It's nice. Yeah, not a bad thing at all,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and a good time to spend the time with your
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: family and things along those lines. Let's talk a little
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: bit about real estate in the Emmicanall Valley. I decided
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago we leaned into remodeling my
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: house when we were kind of on the border. If
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: we decided we wanted to buy or to remodel and
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: it happened right. It was during the big spike during
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: COVID and everything, like, I just couldn't get timing right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Like first the prices of lumber with skyrocketed, then the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: real estate prices got a little funky for a while,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get into the right place. And now things
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: have seemed to if leave settle down into something that
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you can that you can look at with with with
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: some expectation on what's happening. So give us an idea, like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: let's take a look back at twenty twenty five. At first,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: what did what was the twenty twenty five market like
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: real estate here in the Charles Stonnario.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so twenty twenty five was definitely a slower year
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for most folks, not always, but you know, real estate
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: still happens. You know, life happens to people, So there's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: going to be buying and selling, people moving, but people
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a little more tentative in twenty twenty five, buyers specifically,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know, a little less optimistic about the future. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thirty years at a seven percent rate was tough to accept.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And you know, those kind of things happened in twenty
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: twenty five. So my feeling and This is, of course
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: an opinion. You know, everybody has their own about that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So for twenty twenty six, I feel like it's going
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to be a little more of the same. Things are better,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the rates are coming down. I read this morning that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the National Association of Realtors stated that there was an
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: increase nationally of a three percent on new home sales
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: for buyers, and they're attributing that to the rate drops.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Rates are closer to six now that they were. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for me, I feel like if the rates would continue
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to come down for twenty twenty six, which I mean
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they forecasted that to happen in twenty five as well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and it didn't happen as much. But if it does happen,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that it will get better.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: More buyers will be more app to get in the market.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know, at one point a huge amount of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: country had rates their interest rates were less than four percent.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's me. Yeah, I'm I'm under
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: four percent right now. It's really hard for me to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: go anywhere, especially if I'm going to get a larger house,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: because not only am I increasing my my my mortgage,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I'm also increasing my interest from.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Me that's correct, and that's what slowed everything down. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: think I read at one point seventy percent of the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: country we're in rates less than four, and a good
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: deal of those were less than three. So it's hard
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: for a seller or a you know, a homeowner to say, well, well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you know, just buy because we want to. They're only
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: buying or selling because they have to, you know, so
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: if you want to. If I feel like if the rates,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this is my opinion, if the rates could get back
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: into the fives, I feel like buyers are going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be a little more app to make that jump. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: when it's at seven, they're they're just not going.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: To do you have nailed right in I mean, that's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: sort of my like. If we get under five is
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: when I'm going to start shopping around again and think
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that I can guess them. You've got me nailed right
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: on the bus I think.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I think that you represent a good deal of the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: people here in the call valleys.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And one
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: of the things I was reading some trends about like
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: first time home buyers, for example, and I thought it
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was really startling to see, like the age of first
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: time home buyers. Has it's gone gone up significantly? Not
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: like five years, We're talking like twenty years. Yeah, in
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: the last thirty years. It's incredible that that's happened. Has
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: that How has that changed the market for you? Do
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you when you have more mature buyers, that does that
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: change what the expectation for that buyer is? Maybe a little.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You know, during the COVID peaks and when we were
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: selling houses faster than we could list them, I mean
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it was really that intense. I mean, oh, I remember
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that year before COVID. You know, people were bringing their
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: mom and dad back with them for second and third
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: showings and they're you know, talking about it and considering it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But during the COVID times, I mean, if you weren't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: jumping on something immediately, it was tough. So I would
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: say more mature crowd is less likely to you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: be doing that kind of thing and jumping on it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: There be more thoughtful about it. So and the pressure
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is not on like it was before. So if you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have a house that you really like and you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: could we could we sit on it overnight? Probably?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one time you couldn't do that, right, That's right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I had to move yeah, that's.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's true. And then parents were involved quite a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: bit during the COVID time, you know, and I encourage
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the parents to be involved. They should be. It's it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the you know, to that point in those people's life,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it's the biggest decision they're going to make. But sometimes
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the parents can uh, you know, they're they're looking at
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it from their own point of view and from what's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: best for that for their son or daughters.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: When we look at the market as it is now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: we were just talking about some of the barrier slight
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: barriers that there could be with interest rates, with a
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: particular type of person that's looking to either uh to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: graduate up into a larger home or to buy a
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: new home. Is this still considered? What kind of market
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: is this? Is it a seller's market?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's this pendulum has definitely swung back toward the buyers side.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's fifted completely there. But it is more
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: equal or seller forgetting everything they wanted. You know, they
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: didn't have to have any concessions whatsoever. I mean people
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: were waving, they were waving appraisal fees and all sorts
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of craziness. And that's not happening right now, so the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: buyers have a little more control, can take their time
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit more, do a little more research.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I shared a house yesterday to the one of my buyers,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and she had had the opportunity to really dig in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: during the couple of days leading into the showing and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: understood a lot about that home, which I appreciate. You know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: so educated buyers are the best place.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I just want to ask you about that. I'm sure
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: that there's there's a sort of dopamine rush when when
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: properties are just flying as quickly as you can list them,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and that's nice. But somebody that's been in the business
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: as long as you have and that that appreciates cultivated relationships.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the ability for you to represent for a client,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: to be able to do a little research and not
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: have to be so reaction arey not your fault, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I mean just the way the market determines it. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: know there was a time that you guys were basically
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: taking almost like eBay. You're like, hey, you could go
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: up to you know, X amount and you don't even
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: have to call me on it. Just keep furthering the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: bit or whatever. I mean. I talked to a couple
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: of rillers that were doing I mean it was really
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: fast paced for a while.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fast paced. I mean I had purchase
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: agreements in my car that we were handwriting, so they
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: didn't have time to go back and write it up,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you know. So, but thankfully we're not there anymore. You know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: there's a huge risk of loss in that kind of scenario,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and people are having some regrets. But then again, now
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they're stuck in a rate of three percent, and they're like,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it may have been my best decision in life,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm stuck here until I can afford to get
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: into a different mortgage.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I want to talk to you in just a minute
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: about some great listings that you might have that folks
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: want to look into. But I do want to kind
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: of to lead into that to talk a little bit
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: about inventory. You know, when I first moved back to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: West Virginia in twenty ten, I was moving from from Lansing,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Michigan area, which was considered a very reasonable housing area
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: as far as costs and stuff goes. And when you
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: looked at like rankings, when listen things, West Virginia was
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit like a little bit better, like a
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: little bit better as far as like property values and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, as far as affordability goes. In the
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: time since I've moved back in the fifteen years that
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: i've been back here, I'm not saying I don't know
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: where it's been as far as national ranking goes, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I know that there's certainly been an acceleration of property
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: values and things along those lines. When you're looking at
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: inventory and folks are looking to either buy their first
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: home or to graduate up from their starter home to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: their first family home, or whatever it might be, what
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: are we looking at an inventory right now?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So, prior to COVID can all on the border realtors.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: We have eleven counties that we typically manage that are
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a part of our board. Prior to COVID, we would
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have about fifteen hundred or so, sometimes as much as
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: eighteen hundred active listings. There'd probably one hundred or so
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that were over a million dollars, and then one hundred
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and fifty or so that were less than one hundred
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars that were just always kind of there, you know.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So that's a pretty good number. But then during COVID,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: those were just going and going and dropping and dropping.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It got as low as four hundred and fifty total active,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and we still had you know, seventy or so of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: those million dollar homes and you know, probably fewer of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the less than one hundred, but definitely had fifty or
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: eighty of those four fifty or you know, below fifty.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Really it's climbed back up to a little over six hundred.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It stayed in the six hundreds most of twenty twenty five, so,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but it was between four fifty and five fifty or
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: so for a good couple of years. So it's nice
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to see that has come up a little bit. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: think the highest I saw it was a couple maybe
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: three months ago or something. It got up to almost
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: seven hundred. I was kind of hoping we would, you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: kind of cross that barrier, but it was a six
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fifteen yesterday. So we're still we're still struggling with the inventory.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot of building going on
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: here for housing. There's going to be some there's been
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: some announcements on that kind of thing, particularly in Putnam County,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: but again, we need people to be able to be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: willing to put their house on the market and jump
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: into a different loan type. Those sellers need to put
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: their houses on the market, but they're just until they
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: until that five percent happens. I think we're going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be a little more of the same.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about then, folks, I be waiting for
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: an opportunity or haven't seen a good listing yet. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: know you have a couple that you want to tell
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: us about what some good properties that are out there.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it depends on what you're looking for. But
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I've got a beautiful home in the Stonegate subdivision at
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Hurricane and this house is listed at eight hundred and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars, but it's eighty five hundred square feet,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: six bedroom, five and a half baths. It's just a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: gorgeous property in a really nice neighborhood, conveniently located just
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: off of I sixty four, but right up from where
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you can get onto thirty five. So the joult a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: new course pretty quick and you have all the accessibility
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to the Tays Valley area. If the traffic in Tays
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Valley is wearing on you, then take a look at
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: my one thirty four Waterside Circle in Windfield. Four bedroom,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: two and a half baths, on an open four plan
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with an updated kitchen and baths, and that's listed to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: four ninety nine nine. Yeah, it's a beautiful it's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: beautiful home in a great flat neighborhood just past the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: high school in Winfield.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: So what is the I know when my wife and
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I were hardcore looking into two new homes of fifteen
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: years ago or so, one of the big trends was
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: people that were redoing their kitchens and like the knobs
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: were the big deal. Like you know, you had to
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: have particular types of knobs on all of the on
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: all of the appliances and stuff like that. Is there
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: any secret sauce right now on staging that people were
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: running into.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: No, just updated so that you know, you keep it clean.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I talk to sellers all the time when you're going
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: through the house is to be honest with yourself about
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the condition of your home. And you know, I'm gonna
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: definitely shoot straight with you and tell you what I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: feel like you need to do in order to get
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the most looks and to not you know, for me,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: they're deterre its. Things that are going to deter buyers
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: when they walk in. We need to solve those problems.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So if you have you know, worn and dirty and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: just kind of beat up, you don't have to update
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the knobs necessarily, but they need to be clean and yeah, yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: You got to look at them like somebody else walking
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: into your house for the first time, because some of
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: those things, you know, like you get nose blind to things,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: you get eye blind to things. Not does to mean
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: it's bad, it's just it's like it's how it goes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, clutter in your home and you have extra furniture
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in there that has been really convenient for you, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it makes your rooms looks I'm going to encourage you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to and I'm like I said, I'm going to tell
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you what you need to do, you know, to make
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that more appealing. And but yeah, I'm not sure knobs
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: solve the problem, but certainly clean, organized and less clutter
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: it will. It will help.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's no doubt. Man. This is the first time
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: we've done this, and I keep on finding myself. Now
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I have like all these quick like like unrelated follow
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: up questions. I have one last one for you, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: in your time in doing this, because you've been doing
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: it for so long, is the information that people get
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: from shows like on the Home network and different things
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: like that. Has that changed the relationship? Like the how demanding?
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Because I've watched those shows and I'm like, what is
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: wrong with these people? Are kidding me? Has that changed
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: some of that a little bit?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I do think it has. From a mentality standpoint, the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: expectations go up and they're like, I don't know why
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I can't get that. You know, and you'd asked earlier
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: about the difference in the national stuff versus here in
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. We're really subject to that. You know, this
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is a West Virginia market. Are We don't have those
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: million dollar listings that are are you know, you have
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: people that are working at a daycare center who have
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a you know, a three million dollar budget kind of
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: thing here. You know, So keep your expectations real. Don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: let reality television because that's what that is, exactly TV.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Don't let that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Don't let that throw you off on your home search.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: This is you know, this is a very important decision
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: for you. Let's make sure you have realistic expectations.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I find it fascinating. Every once in a while they'll
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: be like, behind the scenes, the article that's written or
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: something about about one of those shows and the stuff

  Speaker 3: think I mentioned this, but I really loved John Ellison's
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: arrangement that you guys did Sympathy for the Devil that
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: you did at man it seriously, Man, it was one.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I love the Stones, I love that song
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: and that version of the song. It send shivers down
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: my spine just thinking about it. And it was so good.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was the Carpenterans and John Ellison. What year
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: was that was like maybe twenty twenty one sounds like that. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: that's Live on the Levee and yeah, that was a
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: really memorable night.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I was just listening to I have this weird thing
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I'm doing. Not a weird thing I'm doing with the music,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: but I take like I'll go to a year and
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I'll get like the first or the top fifty albums
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: across all the genres for that year, and then I'll
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: get four songs from each of the albums to and
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: create a two hundreds on playlist. So that's like something
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I've been working on. And I was doing nineteen sixty
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: eight this weekend, and so I was listening to that
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: playlist some with my sister, both my sister with my daughter.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, what a year for music. That was
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: so much Stones were in that playlist and my daughter
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: loves sympathy from the double like just singing around with it,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and she was like snapping with and she was singing
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: as we were doing clothes. I was like, man, I
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: think I'm done here. Yeah, you've done it. As a parent,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I think I'm pretty much done. Let's talk a little
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: bit about the Stones and doing that for New Year's Eve.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I have my opinions on it. But why
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the Stones for New Year's Eve?
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean it's just, you know, to me, the
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: Stones are you know, like I loved the Beatles when
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: I was a kid, and I feel like most and
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I still love the Beatles, right, but when I became
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: I didn't really get the Stones until I was an
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: adult and I was like, well, that's pretty adult music really.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I mean it's fun.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: It's you know, the party atmosphere, the debauchery, you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: And to me, I'm just like, well, kind of what
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: could be better on a New Year's Eve than you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: a little bit of champagne and debauchery and rock and roll.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with the Beatles, them getting an argument over Apple
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Records really seems on brand. You know, you can see
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the Stones maybe getting an arg over something. But wouldn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: be that necessary. It would be you know, who took
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the last bottle of jack out of the green room
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: exactly exactly, who forgot to give who forgot the what?
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: What?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Didn't they have a weird rider for a while? I
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: can't remember. I'm sure, yeah, I can't remember, but but
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of on the same path as you. I
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: like them both equally. As I was growing up, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: actually saw McCartney in Cincinnati in ninety two live and
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: he had his fastball did mean it was two hours
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: of just the hits. It was incredible to see and
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: I was an adjacent Beatles fan at the time, but
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that put me over the edge because it was like,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: this dude is amazing and this and this show is amazing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: So in my formed of years, late teens, early twenties,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I was really into the Beatles and McCartney. And it
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't until a little bit later on I started listening
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: to the Stones.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: I was like, I do love the Beatles, don't get
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: me wrong, No, no, they're a pito they're listening out there, guys.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm not a bud Eary choice guy. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: can listen to both of them, but I have to
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: admit in my older days, when I feel like listening
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: to some music, I'm like, man, what do I want
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to put on? I'm probably going to put on something
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: like late late sixties Stones or something like that. More
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: so than anything.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: What's your favorite Stones record?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: Man, maybe let It Bleed the first one. That's when
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: I first get so as. We've got a special you
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: know spot in my Calagy banquet, I don't they have
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: for me?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And that's the holy Trinity. That's the holy Trinity, right.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I have this.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I have this theory that to be a legendary artist
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: or band you have to have a holy trinity of albums,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: three uninterrupted albums like where they're they're just no notes, right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: The Stones have many, many triplets like that. It's not
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: just three. But that to me is their their holy thing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: That's an interesting concept. Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I mean there's there's no science.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: That's me.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: That's just me. There's no science behind it, that's just me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Let's talk a little bit about the venue. Where are
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: you gonna put this together at? So this will be
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: at the Loud I was previously known as the V Club.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: It's a great spot. It's been remodeled it's just really
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: a beautiful club. We're lucky to have it this close
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: to to Charleston. But yeah, we'll be down there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: I think doors maybe or eight, and everything will kick
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: off at nine o'clock. We'll do the Stones tribute right
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: in the middle, so every body right in the meat
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: of the night, you know, and then John Bandle close
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: things out nice.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: So that that's awesome. So so so you're gonna be
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: so does John Ingerman by itself is gonna be closing
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: out at minute. That's special? Anything special can you give away?
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I can't, can't give it away. I got to that,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: but it will be worse showing up for the right, absolutely, man.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I think that that sounds like an absolutely great time.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Do you do you have a particular song or style
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: of songs that the Stones do that you like to
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: do arrangements for that the more of the bluesy stuff
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: or more the rock. What do you like to do
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: arrangements for?
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, I like, let's see, I love the
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: rock and stuff. I mean, you know, live with me
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: some some of that, you know, stuff from uh from
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: uh let it bleed. I can't think for me, my
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: brain's dead. But yeah, I mean I love the rock
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: and stuff of the country. That's one of the things
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: I love about the Stones is you can you'll get
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: the soul, the R and B. You'll get some straight
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: up rock. You's gospel, you know, you know, sweet black
• 25:02

  Speaker 4: Happy New Year's soon to say that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: It's kind of in between. I wasn't really sure what
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to say this morning when we were talking. It's kind
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: of happy in between.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Toime, I guess it's the in between.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: It's not the upside down for those of you who
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: are watching Stranger Things. It's the in between.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: It is the in between. Tom very correct at A
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: lot of things are in between. But holiday family doing okay, Brad,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: You're all.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Right, uh yeah, doing good. Yeah, I'm doing good.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: That's good to know. I'm I'm always glad to talk
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: to you. And when I see you knocking around every
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: once in a while outside of our near our old
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: offices that we saw almost share, it's nice to see
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: every once in a while.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: You too.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Let's talk a little bit about this. I wanted to
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: talk primarily about the big story yesterday you were covering
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: yesterday then digging into the major federal funding announcement for
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: a rural healthcare in West Virginia, nearly two hundred thousand
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: or two hundred million in the first year alone. Can
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: you walk us through a little bit what this money
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: actually is.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, when Congress was considering the big beautiful bill,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: remember that whole thing, Oh yeah, that was it led
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: to concerns that some of the cut Medicaid, especially would
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: undercut the royal healthcare system, that there would be less
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: money blowing into already fragile rural healthcare systems, and that
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: is a significant issue in West Virginia. So out of
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: those concerns, Congress developed this Rural Health Transformation Program, and
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: it distributes fifty billion dollars over five years to all
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: fifty states. It runs according to kind of a formula.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Part of the money, half of it, twenty five billion dollars,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: is evenly divided among the states. But then the rest,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the discretionary dollars are being allocated based on applications, also
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: each state's rural nature and other policies. That's a competitive process.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: All fifty states learned their amount yesterday and West Virginia
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: landed one hundred and ninety nine million dollars. So you
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: know that ain't nothing. That's that's good financial support for
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: rural healthcare around the state, which sorely needs it. But
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: is it as much as or as significant a support
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: as the state would have gotten without the changes to
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: through the Big beautiful Bill. Also, I will say so
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: West Virginia's allocation is one hundred and ninety nine million dollars.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: There was national reporting that other states are receiving between
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: one hundred and forty five million dollars and two hundred
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: and eighty one million dollars. So West Virginia essentially split
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: the goalpost kind of in between those marks, and.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: It's and the number, and it is certainly it's going
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: to be fund that is going to be generatively in
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: West Virginia is going to be put up to the
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: good use. A couple questions I have, I mean the
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: broad one that you brought up is does this does
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: this match the funding gap from the funds that were
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: taken away from world hospitals? Is there any clear line
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: to be able to determine that? Or is this one
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: of those things where when you set aside cost, deployment,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: all these different things, different people are going to have
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: different answers for us.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean I think it's it's a complicated calculation,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: and so that's been left to.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: You know, more.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Entities with more expertise than than I necessarily brand. There's
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: a gazepe mail story and its sites. KFF, which is
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: a non partisan health policy research organization that's that's often
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: cited bringing a textbookise and overall it suggests that the
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Big Beautiful Bill reduces Medicaid funding by nine one hundred
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: and eleven billion dollars over ten years, and out of that,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: what's Virginia Hospitals, according to KFF again, would lose about
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: a billion dollars per year in Medicaid funding when the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Big Beautiful Bill is fully implemented. So you know, you're
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you're comparing a billion dollars per year according to that calculation,
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: to the two hundred and ninety nine million dollars announced
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: yesterday in rural health care support. So certainly one hundred
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: and ninety nine million dollars a big difference there, But
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: it's it's a little bit of apples to oranges. You know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: some things are losing money through the big beautiful Bill
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: and then there's a different set of things gaining support
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: through the Rural Health Transformation Fund.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Sort of a concern that I have money set aside,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: is when you change distribution routes for certain certain funding
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: of services and things like that, there's always a headache
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: of problems and red tape that happens there. And that's
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: one of the concerns I have when you even if
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: funding if you can line up funding for certain services
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that line up when you're funding sources change and you
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: have to go through a different set of parameters to
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: get there. That's just going to me anyway, that's going
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: to speak of a lot of administrative issues down the line.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so if you want to learn more
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: of the first guests on talk Line today come up
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: in a few minutes is Jim Kaufman of the West
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Virginia Hospital Association. But they put out a statement yesterday,
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: and of course they're running. They're the association that broadly
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: is representing hospitals, including the rural ones in West Virginia.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: And what they said yesterday was there grateful for the
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: visionary leadership and securing critical resources for West Virginia's rural
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: healthcare system. It does amount to nearly a billion dollars
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: potentially over five years, and the West Virginia Hospital Association
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: characterizes that as representing a transformational opportunity to address the
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: long standing challenges and rural health care delivery. So I mean,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: I think you, if you're them, you're thankful for the
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: support that you could get, but I think also, you know,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: concerned about the other changes that are afoot.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: You mentioned something there that I wanted to explore just
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: a little bit. There is a five year window on
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: this program, a tomline. What are the guardrails on that,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: what is it that that happens within that five year period,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: and what does the state have to do with those funds?
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so my understanding is the one hundred and ninety
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: nine million dollars is the first year, and I'm a
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: little foggy on whether there is an annual application. I
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: think that may be the case, but you know, don't
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: don't take me to the bank, so to speak on that.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: But you know, West Virginia wants to show that it
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: deserves a continued amount of healthy funding, and it does
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: that by improving health outcomes, expanding access to care. Uh,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: and then you know, broadly a little less able to measure,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: strengthening families and communities throughout the state. Some of the
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: things that West Virginia intends to do are aspects of
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: what Governor Morrissey has been pushing anyway, make make West
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Virginia healthy again or maybe for the first time. And
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: so you know, it's encouraging physical activity and efforts to
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: remove dage from food. Those are things that Governor Morrissey
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: has talked about already.
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: He's you know, it feels to me like he's talked
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: a little less about the Mountaineer mile that he was
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: for a bit, but that that's been I think an
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: admirable part of his consistent messages get out there and
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: get moving. Uh. The more the Administration's application also plans
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: to address distance between patients and providers, lack of access
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: of Royal health care providers, resources to support Royal health
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: care providers. Connecting what's regenis to the workforce as they've
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: become healthier. What's regenius workforce participation is consistently the lowest
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: in the nation. And that's not just a reflection of
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: whether people want to work or not. I think it
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: gets characterized that sometimes, but it's you know, the old
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: population and unfortunately the prevalent illness of the population, unfortunately
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: drug addiction to so you know, that is an admirable goal.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Connecting what's regis to the workforce as they are better
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: able to work, and preventing adverse health comes through nutrition, exercise,
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: and lifestyle changes. Those are things that can't be accomplished
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: in a year. I mean, I think you can make improvements,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: you can cut into it, do better, But I certainly
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: think that the five year run of this money, it's
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: going to take, you know, a consistent effort on those
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: on those matters to try to do some improvement.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it'll be interesting to see what some of
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: the initiatives kind of roll out. I know that that
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: this year was sort of the the announcement of the
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: mountain your mouth, and to be more aware of fitness,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: which I mean I'm all in for. I mean, I'm
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: a guy that lost one hundred and forty pounds myself
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: and and and understand the significance of being fit, especially
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: as you start getting older and things like that. I
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: have no issue with that. The thing that I think
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: that that it's not you can wave a magic wind
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: at people and say go out there and get more fit.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: You have to have there have to be resources. They
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: have to be places that you can go. If you're
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: talking about the kids, there needs to be places that
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: aren't that don't charge them to get into all the time,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: that's safe to plow. I mean, there's there's initiatives that
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: are underneath that that if you want to make it happen,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: we have to tackle and to provide the opportunity for it.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: You can't just wave a stick at somebody and say
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: go get healthy. There has to be some assistance and that,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: and there's to have to be some some state help
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: in that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm about
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: to say something that I don't think is necessarily part
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: of this program. But even walkable sidewalks in West Virginia
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: so few.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: I live in Kanall City and it's and it's a
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: danger anytime I want to take my daughter for a walk,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: because we have to walk in the middle of the street.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're maybe crossing four four lanes of mccorkall Avenue.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's where you need to be.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's I mean, downtown is fairly walkable,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: but you got to get there so and then other
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: areas of West Virginia just it's it's very difficult to
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: if you're in an area that has fairly busy roads,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: it's it's challenging to walk along them.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: And a lot of rural areas where people are used
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: to doing their outdoor activities are are being privatized now
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: where you have to belong to a club and stuff
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: forth to get in again. Industry is great, but when
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: you start charging people to get to public spaces and
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: different things along those lines, makes it harder and hard
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: to get out doors and to stay healthy. In my opinion,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: you got to balance these things and figure out the
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: right path.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, you know, I mean, West Virginia has
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: such port health out comes in areas like obesity, diabetes,
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: heart disease, and all those would be helped. I mean,
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: the gym membership would help, especially consistently going. I guess
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that's part of our New Year's being too. But you
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: don't have to have a gym membership if you could
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: just get out and be active, and you can do
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: that in some ways in a rural area, but if
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: you just want to take a good long walk and
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: get the heart right up, it's a little challenging if
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: the sidewalks are not up the park.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I think that's true. That's kind of the details of
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: the fitness side of these things. But these things matter,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: and every aspect of this type of thing has that
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: type of nuance behind it. So it'll be interesting to
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: see how these things roll out. Initiatives don't just happen overnight,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: and outcomes don't just happen because you want him to.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: There has to be some work done on the ground,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: so we'll be interesting to see how we go about
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: doing that. Brad. I appreciate your time today and kind
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: of the relatively news story and fleshing out some of
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: these details. It's a lot of good stuff. I know
• 46:10

  Speaker 3: more later on. But I appreciate you being on and

• 46:16

• 46:29
  Speaker 3: But the devil's in the details as far as those
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: scenes go, and it'll be interesting to see how it
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: all plays out at the at the end of things.

  Speaker 3: performed on the Today Show. Good to see him up there,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: although he did jingle bell rock, which leads me to
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: the question I have this time of year every year,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: why is there not more New Year songs? You know
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of them, but why are is there
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: are more New Year songs that they would own the
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: airwaves in this week between Christmas and New Year's if
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: there was more people that dedicated some New Year songs
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: out there. So just something to keep in mind. Talk
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Line is coming up, of course at ten o'clock midday.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: We'll be on air at noon and then I'll be
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: back at three oh six this afternoon with Dave Weekly
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: on our Tuesday edition of Hotline. And kind of to
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: wrap up the conversation we had with Brad malcolhaney in
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: our last segment talking about real Health in West Virginia
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: and we're talking about the Fitness Initiative. I just wanted
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: to take a second to share it just a couple
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: of minutes of my experience when it comes to when
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: it comes to that, because I know that's something that
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: I struggled with for most of my life, and that
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: is a struggle in the state. And I know that
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: if you're like me, the last thing that you ever
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: liked to hear was somebody telling you how easy it was,
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: or how they could do this, or I was always
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: very frustrated by my lifelong battle with obesity. Frankly, I
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: was over three hundred pounds for most of my life.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I'm fifty one now. About eight years ago, just before
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: my daughter was born, I decided that if I was
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: going to be a father of a young one going
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: into my fifties, that I needed to make some changes
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: in my life. That was finally the motivation that I
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: needed to put up the cheeseburger as it might be,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: and frankly, for me anyway, motivation was the main thing.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I gamified my weight loss and a couple of ways
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: I did that. Number one, I never had a gym membership,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: still don't. I do everything. I work out virtually every day.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I do it at my house. I made a situation
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: where I can roll right out of my bed and
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: get to my home gym. It's not even that big
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: of a gym. Roll out of pad. I have some
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: free weights, and that's pretty much what I do, and
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: that I started doing after I lost the weight. Though
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: I lost weight without ever doing anything other than walking,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: and it was all from calorie control, and it wasn't
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: anything massive. I figured out, with some trial and error
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: tracking my calories, what my daily caloric needs were, and
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: I reduced that by about twenty percent and made some
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: other made some other smart changes with breads and pastas
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: and things along those lines. And ultimately what that did
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: over not a very long period of time, I lost
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: about one hundred and thirty pounds. And we're seven years
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: in and I'm i weigh the same now as I
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: did when I basically bottomed out, more fit now after
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: I added the workout element. But it's possible to do.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: You don't have to have a membership, It doesn't have
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: to be expensive, you don't have to spend a ton
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: of money, you don't have to go in a fad diet.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: It takes a little bit of willpower and idea. You
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: have to have a strategy behind it. Don't just eat
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: less or don't just work out. You have to have
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: a strategy behind it. Keep to it, and you're going
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: to find it that it can hurt or it can help,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: and it can help you. Just an idea that you
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: might want to take into account. One of these days,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: I might get into a little bit more because there's
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: some practices that you can put into place. So that's
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: going to do it for us today. Thanks for tuning in.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Talk Lines up next after ABC and local news. Thanks
• 52:53
