3:15
on as well. Let's bring in a good friend, Hannah Gardener from the
3:17
Canal Charles Do main association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week.
3:22
Hannah. How are you, dear? I'm good? How are you?
3:24
I'm doing fine, Hannah? Kathy, Kathy, Hannah, always have
3:28
to make the introduction, so you two make nice with each other and say
3:30
hello to each other. Hi, miss Hannah, how are you? I'm
3:34
great? How are you wonderful? All right, now, we got that
3:37
out of the way, okay. Pictures posted Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and
3:39
at Dave A seventy on Twitter. Let's talk about Snuggie. Hannah tell us
3:45
the story of Snuggie. Okay, well, I have a little attachment to
3:51
snugg yet I love Nike, so I'm trying to find her a home.
3:54
She's three years old and she came in as straight to us. She has
4:00
been adopted before, but she did come back. She's a very very loyal
4:08
little thing. Whenever she gets into a home and she gets into a routine,
4:13
and she knows what's going on, and she trusts you after a couple
4:16
of weeks, you know, being with you and stuff. It takes her
4:18
a while, but she is very, very sweet once she gets used to
4:24
you. She is up to date on her vaccines. She's already six.
4:29
She can be pretty headshot. So that's why I do say that you would
4:33
need to go slower with her. She needs someone who understands her boundaries,
4:39
understands that, you know. She doesn't need someone who's like full force ready
4:44
to go, because she needs to take life a little bit slower than that.
4:49
She's only about thirteen pounds, so she's a little thing. She does
4:53
best with calmer dogs, calmer environments, maybe even better with like smaller calmer
4:59
dogs. Just a really good, calm, calm dog was what she would
5:03
like. I don't think she would mind to have a sibling, just as
5:05
long as they are calm now sibling as in human siblings. She would probably
5:12
do better with older kids in a home just because of how I said.
5:15
She needs someone to respect her boundaries, and I mean, if you feel
5:18
like your younger kid can do that, then I think it would be a
5:23
great fit. However, if that kid wants to run around, I know
5:27
chids full kids like to play stuff like that, So she prefers more of
5:30
an older house environment. But she's very, very sweet. She needs a
5:35
good home and she is a great girl. She loves sleeping at the bottom
5:40
of the bed. Oh and she has successfully lived with a cat and a
5:45
house before, so she didn't bother it. She didn't even really pay attention
5:48
to it. She just kind of would notice it and like look away,
5:51
So she didn't seem to care much about that at all. The only reason
5:56
that she was brought back was because a new person had entered home that she
6:00
didn't know that she wasn't used to, and they were moving at a really
6:04
fast pace trying to grab their stuff. And I think that she maybe snapped
6:09
at them because she was scared. Maybe she did like buy them, but
6:13
it didn't like break this in or anything like that. However, Um,
6:16
that is just because they didn't know. We didn't even know that she needed
6:20
to super super slow. So we all live, we all learned. So
6:25
she just needs someone who she can't understand those boundaries. She's such a cutie
6:30
though. Her eyes are so beautiful. It's like she's looking right into your
6:34
soul. Yes, and she does, and whenever you whenever she gets used
6:40
to you, like I've spent a couple of weeks with her now, um
6:44
and a few other employees as well, and she she gets to know you,
6:48
and once she gets to know you, she is excited for you to
6:51
tell ut arcade. She's excited because she just needs that patience. She needs
6:56
someone who can understand that she just needs to get you, see you see
7:00
to understands before she fully opened up to you, but once she opened up.
7:04
She is a sweet, sweet girl. And the reason why I have
7:09
such an attachment to her is because well once she's so sweet, but too.
7:13
She was flum very close to the same area that one of my dogs
7:17
was found, and they looked like swinned. They look really well. Snuggie
7:24
is a beautiful dog. And again, and I'm gonna go ahead and call
7:26
somebody out on this because you know, Hannah and Kathy every week I post
7:30
a picture of her adopt me please petted the week on my Facebook page day
7:32
Allen Radio and also on at dave a sebody on Twitter, uh and uh,
7:36
and Laurie Kersey comment. I'm gonna call her out because Lorie Kersey commented
7:41
on my Twitter page and she said I didn't know something like I didn't know
7:45
I needed Snuggie until now. So Laurie is on the clock now, Hannah
7:48
to come and get Snuggie right, all right, Well we'll listen for that
7:53
name, all right, all right, so we'll recap by Snuggie here to
7:57
keep the Moment's beautiful, beautiful dog and what kind of a dog issue?
8:00
I mean, I know she's obviously thirteen pounds. She's a little dog.
8:03
I mean, any idea And Kathy, you're an animal person, aren't you,
8:07
so any idea either one of you? What kind of dog this is?
8:11
Um? So I did a DNA put on mine, which, like
8:15
I said, I can even send you a picture. They are fought on
8:18
twins. Like, the only thing that's different is Snuggie has a little bit
8:20
of a wider face. But if they are related in any way whatsoever,
8:24
or if they are the same, then she would probably be like a taking
8:30
me should do Pomeranian Chihuahua dogs and mix like something like that and a little
8:35
bit of pug maybe because that's what mine was. But she does look like
8:39
she's got a little bit of like puggish looks to her, so maybe some
8:43
of that well. And it's I mean, like if you're looking for maybe
8:46
you have a smaller home, you know, and you don't have This is
8:50
a kind of dog that's, as you said, is gonna you know,
8:52
it sleeps with you in the bed. It's this kind of dog you're gonna
8:54
be able to probably take with you different places. I mean, this is
8:58
that this is that kind of a dog. Hannah. Um, I got
9:01
a question here for you via the text line, Hannah. Because you're quite
9:05
popular people, you know, they had their questions lined up for Hannah every
9:07
Friday. So a question for you from the text line, Hannah. It
9:11
says, is it okay to put ice water for outside cats? Um?
9:16
No, you probably shouldn't put ice water out there, it can shock the
9:20
system, especially if they're overheated. Um all about cold water going into them
9:26
just automatically can can possibly shock the shock them. And I'm no vet or
9:31
vet tech, but I've seen that, I have heard that. I was
9:33
gonna say, just from experience, you kind of you you may not be
9:35
a veterinarian, but you learned from experience in ordinary the shelter, I would
9:39
imagine, Yeah, a myst three years, I've learned a lot. Yeah,
9:43
well, I can see that where it would be a shock to the
9:46
system. So speaking of the weather, I mean, cats and dogs,
9:50
Hannah, are are just like us. They struggle. And this is going
9:52
to be the hottest day of the year. Heat index is like a thousand
9:56
and twenty one or something today, So if you're going to be taking if
10:00
you've got number one, if you've got outdoor dogs and cats, you definitely
10:03
got to take some extra precautions for them, especially in a day like today.
10:07
Hannah. Yeah, yeah, you definitely want to try to like take
10:11
your dogs, like if you're a dog walking person, you definitely want to
10:15
try to do that earlier in the morning or maybe even in the later evening
10:18
times. When the sun has kind of died off a little bit. And
10:24
then make sure that whenever you are walking your dog, if you are walking
10:26
them during the day or something like that, that you're putting your hand for
10:31
like maybe like ten to fifteen seconds or something on the pavement, to make
10:35
sure that it's not burning your hand, because if it's burning your hand,
10:39
it's going to burn the dogs pall pads as well, and those little pads
10:41
are very very sensitive on dogs and cats a lot more than humans are.
10:46
There are a lot more humans, so take that under advisement. What else
10:48
we have going on to shelter Currently until the thirty first, we're still doing
10:54
our abistle and do the shelter event. I know that we've adopted out like
10:58
over one hundred dogs with that so far in the month of July that we've
11:03
had it. I think we started it on the sixth, so of one
11:07
hundred some dogs that it doesn't feel like it because there's so many dogs out
11:11
there that we just keep replacing those that we're sending home, so we're still
11:13
running at max capacity and even after all of that, so we're definitely trying
11:18
to get more dogs out. That is the adoption event where they are all
11:24
of our adult dogs and our casting kittens and then some select puppies are twenty
11:30
five dollars for their adoption feed Bissell has sponsored the rest of it, and
11:33
then if they are fixed, they can just go home with you. If
11:37
they are not fixed, they will stay to get fixed. So if we
11:41
can't get them fixed, we'll definitely put them on the schedule a couple of
11:46
months out. I don't know that we're pretty booked up, but we definitely
11:48
want to get those babies out of there and into a home. Indeed,
11:52
all right, Hannah, As always, it's a pleasure to talk to you.
11:56
The Bistle event is continuing up there, and let's try to find this
11:58
lovely dog snuggie at home. I appreciate it. We'll talk to you soon.
12:01
Thanks a lot, right, thank you, Hannah Garden from the Canal
12:05
Charles Newman Association with its weeks a doot me please put out the week gather.
12:09
You're a you're a dog person, right, I am. I didn't
12:13
think I would be, but I have a German Shepherd and now I have
12:16
a Yorkie in New Yorkie things. He's a German Shepherd. He identifies as
12:22
a German shepherd. That's how he identifies. So he's my killer. I
12:24
mean he will go at your ankles. He's an ankle biter. All right,
12:28
Well, this would be a great dog for somebody's hand, to say.
12:30
This dog's only thirteen thirteen pounds, three years old. Caman is a
12:35
stray, already fixed up to date on vaccine, has done well with cats,
12:39
would do okay with kids as long as they're calm, and it should
12:41
be a great small pet. Do you want to, like I said,
12:43
a dog that you're gonna be able to travel with take with you. You
12:48
probably sticker in your purse if you wanted to beautiful dog. So go look
12:52

16:41
Hello, you survived segment one. We're gonna talk. We're gonna get to
16:45
know Kathy a little bit better. A little bit later on, she's gonna
16:48
do ten question. Jim Strown is here talking about Live on the Levy Jimbo.
16:51
Good morning, How are you? I d some microphone here from Jimbo?
16:55
Yeah, okay, check where we go? Yo? I just said
16:57
enough about you, Dave. Good morning Kathy. Yes, that's all I
17:00
said. Is I know beautiful? I love the glasses. Yeah, she's
17:03
a west Side the best sides. Last graduating class. It's still in walled
17:07
high school. I really stop seeing my funder. Hey Hannah, Hannah from
17:14
the Humane Society just sent me a text here and ask me to mention this.
17:18
If you see stray dogs running around the heat, please bring them in.
17:21
If you can't, take them some room temperature water and put it on
17:23
all their paws. Dogs regulate their body temperature through their paw pads. Don't
17:30
pour water all over the bodies because it can soak more the heat into the
17:33
water on their body. It makes them even more hot. So there you
17:37
go. Good, Yeah, get inside. Thank you Hannah for enlightening us
17:42
even more. I love that segment day. By the way, she's she's
17:45
fantastic at what she does there. All right, let's talk about Live on
17:48
the Levee Moses out her Boop Live Levy Season nineteen, week number nine.
17:55
Okay, okay, okay, number nine. Tonight should be a warm night,
17:59
but a very entertaining evening down at had at Riverfront Parking. Taking center
18:03
stage the shom Bomb stage at six thirty, he'll play for an hour.
18:07
His name is Eric Bolander. Eric is from a very small town in eastern
18:11
Kentucky called Garrison. Fourteen hundred is the population that's right in the foothills of
18:15
the Appalanchia on the other side of the Ohio River, and he is a
18:18
very wonderful storyteller through music, so his lyrics are great. He's got a
18:23
little slice of Americana with some country, some blue grass, some bluesy,
18:27
and it goes very nicely with the headliner tonight, which is the Buffalo Wobs
18:33
and the Price Hill Hustle Buffalo Walt. They're out of Cincinnati, four guys.
18:41
They describe themselves of sounding a little bit like the old nitty gritty dirt
18:45
band. Okay, so their country, they're flat footing, they're foot stomping.
18:52
They're entertaining high energy country, bluesy gospel seats. So it's really should
18:56
be an entertaining evening fund to dance too. And as you dance and stomp
19:00
your foot, you might get a little warm, because it's going to be
19:03
warm down there. But city officials assure me, and they wanted me to
19:06
let the audience know, we're going to have two cooling miss stations, one
19:11
by the West Virginia American Water Company, one by our friends at Serve Pro.
19:15
Two stations up on the boulevard and then down by the show and Bomb
19:18
stage at the park. They're going to have complimentary little bottles of water.
19:22
Just come down, help yourself, no charge. The city's just going to
19:25
say here, stay hydrated. Here, here's some water. So enjoy the
19:29
music, enjoy the evening, enjoy the nice breeze. I'm praying for the
19:33
off of the river and it should be nice. Just got to tolerate a
19:36
little bit of heat. But the music and the entertainment looks like it's going
19:40
to be just absolutely just like it has been all season. Day right,
19:44
great. And what you gotta remember when temperatures are like this, and we
19:45
always talk about having a spirited beverage, soda or whatever. But here's the
19:51
thing about it is that's not going to hydrate you. One and one.
19:53
Yeah, you need to have a plenty of water. Nothing hydrates. And
19:56
we have all these sports drinks, so we have the gatorade and all great,
20:00
but nothing hydrates you like good old fashioned water too. Oh yep.
20:03
So that's the rule. One to one, Yeah, one to one.
20:07
Yeah, have a bottle of water. Yeah, one to one. No
20:14
straight water. Water to what I say, not what I do, but
20:18
listen to what I know. Listen to the good chin and water. It's
20:21
a straight water Cathey, have you been down to the levee this year a
20:22
couple of times. Oh, absolutely, yeah, you like it. What's
20:26
your favorite about the levee? Just the openness the people come together again.
20:30
Yeah, and I think just just the venues and everything. Let me just
20:36
say everything at the ball of Wax. Yeah, I mean the food,
20:37
the drinks, the neighborhood, just your neighbors. And my favorite is I've
20:42
said this over and over. Dave knows this, but I get to stand
20:45
down there on that stage and I look up and I'm conscious, you're looking
20:48
for people not having a good time. Haven't found one yet seventeen years,
20:52
I haven't found I haven't found anybody having a bad time. You're having a
20:56
good time down there. You are this music and food. What else could
20:59
you want? Hello? And and what I love about it? Two Kathy
21:02
and you and I are music people. We had I'll tell you a story
21:04
about Kathy and I have one of our conversations about music. But it's music
21:08
of all kinds. And if you don't, maybe this week isn't your cup
21:11
of tea, Then just as we used to say in church fellowship, one
21:15
with the other and just have a good time and then and then next week.
21:18
Chances are it'll be something that you do like. And that's one of
21:22
the things that you, Jim and the entire the Levy crew do such a
21:25
good job of, isn't it true? Yeah, it's true. You have
21:29
to look at it from one hundred thousand feet one foot and like Dave said,
21:33
if you don't like it this week, just come down for the fellowship,
21:34
and next week it's going to be your music. I almost can guarantee
21:37
it. Tonight should be good old fashioned slice of Americano music and you know,
21:41
stomp your foot and have a good time and high energy and dance.
21:45
An awesome thing too, is it's all age groups too. It's my daughter.
21:49
She's like, I'm going down to the level. I'm like, no,
21:52
really, but it's just really fun time. Now she's eighteen, yeah,
21:56
teenagers. Yeah, yeah, she's now there pretty much. I don't
22:00
know if they're down for the music or not. Some of the sixteen seven
22:03
little girls that I see are they pay attention to the music, But I
22:07
think they're paying attention to other things other people their age. Yes, but
22:11
it is fun. I don't care if your two or one hundred two.
22:12
My line I say it every week and we'll talk closer more as it gets
22:17
closer to day. But August eighteenth is back to school night. Speaking of
22:19
kiddos, we are really going to cater to the kids. I can't wait
22:22
to talk more about August eighteenth, our final Moses Autter group live on the
22:26
levy of the season. But it's going to be a big shin dick for
22:30
the kiddos. Well, we should talk later. I'm sorry. There is
22:33
a lot of steps going down and up, so we should talk about an
22:36
elevator. We see how you do? You leave that right in there,
22:41
as only a pro would, I'm gonna go there. She's a great good
22:45
jobs. Great to see you, Jim. You will see your brother Jim.

couple of things that do need to get to on the serious side here leadstorywv
23:22
Metro News dot com. About one hundred people showed up last night to discuss
23:26
a proposed needle exchange program as part of the Women's Health Center That meeting hill
23:30
last night at the Goodwill Prosperity Center on Virginia Street West some four. So
23:33
I'm against you know my feelings on this. It's Friday, It's Friday fun
23:37
out, so I'm not going to get into it today, but i will
23:41
next week. The Women's Health Centers asking for the Charleston City Council to grant
23:45
them a license to do this. It'll be discussed at their council meeting on
23:49
August the seventh, and trust me, I'm gonna be talking a lot about
23:52
this between now and then. Also, Mountain Valley Pipeline is a go and
24:00
former President Donald Trump is in the news again. Not today, We're not
24:02
doing it today, Kathy, but we'll pick it up back up. On
24:04
Monday, I had a quick program. You know, Dave Weekly, who
24:07
does a hotline for three to six, is off today, so I have
24:11
been asked to come in to say the rule is, Kathy, if you
24:15
have one day, if you have to have another, okay. And so
24:17
Weekly's not here, so I'm coming in a much weaker Weekly that's coming in
24:22
dose with Coop this afternoon. And then of course self, not really self
24:26
promotion, but promotion for the station tomorrow. I guess I mentioned the top
24:30
of the show, We're gonna be given away five hundred gallons of free gasoline
24:33
courtesy of Parmar Stores and all of our stations here on the old main Street
24:37
in Saint Alban's and I'll be there hanging out with our new station, The
24:41
Mountain. That's our new classic rock station, ninety eight seven the Mountain.
24:45
And when I wrap up down there, I'll be on the Mountain, literally
24:48
on the radio to Marrow between three and seven on the Mountains. So if
24:51
you had a chance to listen our station yet, yes, it's so oh
24:52
yeah, I have. It's great if you're a classic rock person and it
24:57
is definitely the station for you. Of course, we Steve Animal doing mornings
25:00
the semi legendary. I gotta take the I guess I gotta take the term
25:04
semi off its title because he's back in radio again where you should have never
25:08
left, and he's doing the morning show and Shockley hangs out with him from
25:12
time to time. And so if you haven't had a chance to listen to
25:15

25:18
the website or listen to it in actual old fashion radio if you want to.
25:22
But the website is nine eight seven The Mountain dot com. Listen to
25:26
the Mountain if you like classic rock, it is your thing. Kathy Davis
25:29
is my guest co host this week, and I first met Kathy several months
25:33
ago when she and her company DC Elevators were considering advertising on our stations here
25:37
and we met for a couple of lunches with the people with your company and
25:42
mine sales Weasel extraordinary, Tim Morris and I sit in on that and one
25:49
of the things that really impressed me most about you, Kathy was you have
25:52
great taste of food. Well from one foodie, I mean, I was
25:56
just taking notes from you. You are everywhere and all of the things that
26:00
you show looks so good and uh and also music too, and music.
26:06
Yeah, that's our, that's our, that's our. Kin chip that Kathy
26:08
and I had so tell us about Kathy Davis Jimbo kind of just spelled a
26:12
little bit. You were the last graduated part of the last g graduating class
26:15
of Stonehall. So I am from I mean born race here in West Virginia,
26:21
Charleston's West Side, like you said, at the best side, and
26:25
last graduating class of Stonewall nineteen eighty nine. We have a class reunion coming
26:29
up as a matter of fact, next month. Oh really yep. So
26:32
I'm excited to see. I think it's all class, all classes of Stonewalls.
26:36
That the way they're doing it. Yeah, so that's going to be
26:38
fun. But yeah, I'm just You're just You'm just me. I want
26:45
to ask you a question about about Stonewall because you know, with school consolidation
26:48
that's gone on everywhere. Um, and you know, I'm not from this
26:52
area originally, but I certainly knew the name Stonewall. It's great that you're
26:56
able to be able to get together, uh and keep some of that history
27:00
a lot right, it's still standing. That's what you know, our biggest
27:06
competitor was Charleston High, and I have a lot of friends that were even
27:11
though that we it's a love hate that's the way. Yes, But I'm
27:15
like, well we're still standing, so I mean, yeah, exactly that
27:18
So, um, that's where you're from. Tell us about you? The
27:22
person gets a little bio on you. I mean, we know where you're
27:23
from. But I want to hear about Kathy. Tell us about Kathy.
27:26
Well, I m sucks. It's really not a lot. I'm gonna work
27:30
a holiday. I'm trying not to be. I'm about to be an empty
27:33
nester. And that's really kind of hit because my baby she's going off to
27:37
college. Where she going if you don't ask, She's going to Georgia Albany
27:41
State. Okay, yeah, it's a long way, like eleven hours.
27:45
And I'm like, what did I do to you as a parent for you
27:48
to go that far? You know? Wu it's like here and Marshall and
27:53
what she gonna stay nursing. She's going into pre nursing. She wants to
27:57
be a pediatric nurse. Okay, yeah, so I'm very proud of her.
28:02
I have an older daughter who's in New York and she's doing real estate,
28:06
property management, she has a business. So they're kind of spread out.
28:11
But we gotta do what we can to try to get them back here
28:12
in West Virginia. And I mean it's kind of hard, but I talk
28:15
about this Kathy on the show is and this is not a political statement because
28:19
I don't do politics on Friday. But we've got to do everything we can
28:23
to try to encourage these young people to want to come back to West Virginia.
28:29
You're absolutely right. And one of the things that she is wanting to
28:32
do is invest here in West Virginia. So she's, like I said,
28:34
she's in real estate. My background is real estate and construction. How I
28:40
got into elevators, it's just like, okay, but I'm talking about but
28:45
I mean, it's just a passion that I had once I got into it,
28:49
and I thought I was going to own like a jazz coffee club type
28:55
of thing. Didn't happen. So but I like the love the path that
29:00
I went on, and even her when I used to go and uh try
29:07
to get you know, houses and yaff like that knock on doors. I
29:10
would drag her with me thinking that I was making her go. But then
29:14
she decided to take that path. She's doing a lot better than me,
29:19
and so she wants to come back into West Virginia and invest in properties.
29:25
Well, we definitely, we definitely will welcome her because we definitely need to
29:29
people in West Virginia. We need to We're always talking about encouraging people to
29:32
move to West Virginia, which I'm all for, and we need that,
29:33
but I like to keep get some of our youngest and brightest to want to
29:37
stay in West Virginia too, And they can go away to college whenever,
29:40
but we need them here because we're well, I mean, let's face it,
29:42
Kathy, we are old. I'm older than you, but we're all
29:48
younger than Tim Morris though. But but but still, I mean, you
29:52
know, uh, I won't say our time is gone, it's not that,
29:56
but but it's time for a younger generation to to to make things happen
30:00
here in West Virginia, and we got to try to do what we can
30:03
to get those people to want to stay here. Sometimes we don't always do
30:04
that, And that's not a political statement, that's a fact, and it's
30:07
not something new. It's been going on for years. But but we got
30:11
to try to make that happen. I want to talk about this company before
30:14
we go to break DC elevators because I'm like most people. When I first
30:18
met you, I didn't really give a whole lot of thought to elevators.
30:22
I mean, you push a button, you get on, you make awkward
30:25
eye contact, and you get to your destination, you know, And I
30:29
never really gave it much more thought about elevators. But there's it's a whole
30:34
world out there. It is a whole world out there, and my mother
30:38
knows more about elevators, and I'm sure she would like because I'm always talking
30:44
about elevators. I don't think I have left a conversation with anybody without mentioning
30:49
elevators. Well, you play laid one on too, traun here telling him
30:53
about those steps that they need to put an elevator and had ad Riverfront Park.
30:57
Well, you know, but you're right about that. You don't think
31:00
about elevators. All you want to do is get to your destination. And
31:03
then when the elevator's down, now you're you're mad and you want to fuss
31:07
at somebody and things like that. But I mean, it's so interesting to
31:14
see what goes on behind these things, and like, I'm I've been never
31:19
thought I would. I've been in the elevator shafts, I've been on top
31:22
of the elevator. I've seen how they work. I'm looking at the I'm
31:27
getting carried away because like I love it, believe it or not. But
31:33
um, yeah, so, um, it's very interesting. And I was
31:38
telling Um Jim, we were talking about um his fear that he has the
31:44
elevators, the free falling, and I said, I love action movies and
31:49
those are some of the fun parts of the movies. Is when you know,
31:52
Tom Cruise, James Bond are in the elevators and the free falling,
31:56
they get out. And then I realized, after getting into the industry,
32:00
that doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. Elevators don't free fall. So I
32:04
was like, well, now you just you just ruined every action movie from
32:08
this point. Elevators don't so it never happens. It doesn't, it doesn't
32:12
happen. If it happens, it is a major catastrophe. You know,
32:16
the building is you know, something's happened to the building. I'm sure,
32:20
but nope, it doesn't. There's so many safeties and elevators. Um,
32:24
it just doesn't. I guess that's a good thing. It is a good
32:29
thing, and that's what I said. I was like, well, I
32:30
guess it is a good thing that elevators don't free fall, because there's so
32:34
there would be an issue. But no, they're one of the safest modes
32:37
of transportation and building. People think of steps. People are like, I
32:40
don't want to take the elevator because you know, I'm scared of elevators,
32:44
but steps are because people have the tendency possibly to fall. Yeah, elevators
32:50
are are safer than steps, I would think. And sometimes some people like
32:52
to take steps more often because they looking for the exercise and everything. And
32:57
I get that, but now once you get over about three or four flights,
32:59
I'm out, yeah, And I trulynk that I am the best salesperson
33:02
for elevators because I've gone into buildings thing sight surveys, but for people who
33:07
want elevators, right, and so you have to go up all these flights
33:12
of steps, and I know, I was into building in Huntington and then
33:14
it was like non flights of steps and I'm like, so you want an
33:16
elevator here, and we gotta go and look at the shafts, and we
33:20
gotta go on top of the rooftop to see the where the machine room is
33:22
going. And we're walking up these flights of steps, like I tell you
33:27
what, I'll meet y'all up there, because that's a lot of flights.
33:30
I'm out of breath, it's hot, and I'm like, I'll just meet
33:32
y'all at the top. So I think I'm one of the best sales persons
33:37
because the steps and my knees. Not a good man, not a good
33:39
match. I get it. We're going to continue our conversation with Kathy Davis
33:45

37:04
DC Elevators and about their investment in Charleston. Absolutely, so they DC Elevator
37:08
came to Charleston, West Virginia back in two thousand and Have you turned your
37:14
head a little bit? Get back into the microphone a little bit there,
37:15
Okay, go ahead, back in two thousand and sixteen. Um, they
37:19
are my corporate My corporate office is in Lexington, Kentucky, and we are
37:23
the largest independent elevator company in Kentucky. And so they wanted to come into
37:30
West Virginia and um, you know, uh do some services here. So
37:35
they had ended up buying a company here. And so my job has been
37:39
to promote DC and we are, like I mentioned, an independent company.
37:44
They started off back in nineteen seventy seven. It was two guys, Danny
37:47
and Charlie and d not Washington. That was gonna be my next question.
37:53
Danny and Charlie. Danny and Charlie. And so they had wanted to get
37:58
more customer based customer relations base versus like just a piece of paper, and
38:04
so they decided to start their own company and go for like I call them
38:08
the twos and the FEUs, like the two three four, you know,
38:12
just the smaller buildings and as they grew, they got, you know,
38:20
more buildings. Like I said, all through Kentucky and then my office we
38:25
handle West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, so I get a chance to go in
38:30
the I knew the town he was talking about when he's mentioned Eastern Kentucky Garrison
38:35
to have elevators there too. Everywhere, Yeah, trying to so they came
38:40
through here and we've been really competitive. Just recently, I was telling Tim,
38:45
I just moved my offices because we outgrew the place where we started.
38:51
So I'm in a bigger place, a bigger warehouse, and it's a really
38:53
good fit for us. But yeah, we tried to UM. Right now,
38:58
our territory is pretty much the whole state. I'm trying to stay like
39:01
within our radius as we grow. I don't want to get too big so
39:06
I can't service our customers. But one of the things that I get is
39:09
we show up, and that's one of the things that I like. UM
39:13
we come do monthly services and you wouldn't think that that is important, but
39:17
until your elevator is down right and after a walk non floorish exactly, Tim
39:23
and I. We were just talking about that during the break you took earlier
39:28
in the show. We talked about the free falling the elevators, which apparently
39:31
is not a thing. You told us a funny story about about a phone
39:35
call you received. We did, so we got we gotta call in my
39:38
office and a gentleman had mentioned that he had just got was in one of
39:43
our elevators and it fell eight stories and the reason he didn't die is because
39:49
he jumped right before it hit the ground and he was able. And I
39:53
was like, you know, I think I saw that show, but yeah,
39:59
it was is really interest and I mean, of course it did not
40:01
free fall eight floors, um, but in his mind it did. He
40:07
was, um, it was just interesting. People are creative, Yes they
40:12
are. Yeah, so um. I talked to the property manager and I
40:15
was like, so, now what happened. She said, no, no,
40:19
that's not what happened. But yeah, he tried, he tried,
40:22
he did. And those are real stories. I mean, there's so many.
40:28
Our technicians have the best stories. We need to Nick. We have
40:31
you on again, maybe we'll have one of the technicians. Yeah, that
40:34
would be. And here's something I think people need to realize about about elevators.
40:38
Uh, and only I could do an entire show on elevators. By
40:42
the way, um is it's not just about when you think elevator. First
40:45
thing? I thought, when when when when Tim our salesman told me,
40:49
um, hey, I want you go meet these people and let's go talk
40:52
to him and he's pimping me out basically to go talk to these people.
40:55
Um, I thought, Okay, this is for new this is for people
40:59
that are building new apartment complex or they're building a new office building. But
41:01
that's not what it is about as much as it is about servicing the ones
41:07
that, whether you sold them or not, are already there. That's right,
41:09
and that's a good thing about us. We can service any of the
41:13
brands and everything. There's a difference. There's proprietarian and there's an non proprietary.
41:17
We're more non proprietary because it's where the parts are better. You know,
41:22
we can get the parts better and things like that. But our technicians
41:27
are I call Einstein's of elevators because they look at this stuff and it's just
41:31
like they turn into a whole different person. And I mean, you know
41:37
some people are MASKI some people you know, they do these elevators. They
41:43
repair these elevators, and they make sure that they're running. And I like
41:46
the fact that I can stand behind them because they are the ones who are
41:51
out there and they're the ones who are making the elevators work. Because you
41:54
do have the preventive maintenance, which is very important. But we also do
42:00
like modernizations, and so we have a few buildings where they're just old,
42:04
outdated elevators may not run a smooth and we're able to come in and put
42:07
some new equipment in there. Some people just want new cabs, so we
42:12
do a facelift on an elevator. So now perhaps the inside it's called a
42:16
cab, it's called a cab. They're called cabs. I don't know that,
42:22
yes, And so you don't have to go behind these things to updated
42:27
elevators. Some people just want a new the walls and the walls and things
42:32
like pictures or well you probably don't do pictures, but I mean, but
42:36
I mean things like they just want to make it look good, they want
42:37
to make it look right, and so those are things that we offer too.
42:40
And then we do the new installs and buildings where um I talked to
42:45
gcs and architects and we try to be the basis of the design and things
42:50
like that. So we have a whole, we have a whole you know,
42:54
variety of things that we would imagine too that if you're planning an office
43:00
building or something like that, that putting that's that's kind of got to be
43:04
one of the core things you put in there. I mean right there with
43:06
I guess the HVAC and you know things like that. Do you do elevators
43:10
in homes for people that need them or is that something we have Yes,
43:13
a matter of fact that our DC Elevator bought a residential elevator company because people
43:19
have you hear elevator in your home, and people automatically think, well,
43:22
you're rich or something. No, sometimes it's for it's for for medical conditions
43:27
that nature. And people when they're young, younger, they bother forever home,
43:31
right and so they don't want to move, but because of medical reasons
43:36
they have to. Because it's two stories, multiple multiple stories, and we
43:39
can come in and provide a solution and in solid elevator, so now you
43:45
still get to stand your forever home and and it raises the value value the

48:43
some projects around town that you've done here recently the last couple of years or
48:46
so that you're very, very proud of. Oh yeah, and one of
48:49
the ones, um is the one on nine hundred on Lee Street. We
48:52
mod it out or updated. Sorry, that's elevator business. She's talking elevator
48:58
talk again, Jeff. Um, we updated their elevators. Um. I
49:01
remember when they were doing the construction and getting the building together to go from
49:06
the bank to the high end condos, and they were pretty much using the
49:09
elevators as construction elevators. And we just got getting to talk in and it
49:15
was just like you know, this is a nice, premier building and you
49:20
want your elevators to reflect that too, And so they allowed us the opportunity
49:23
to come in and do the upgrades and we did full the three the three
49:29
main elevators there um seventeen flights UM. So that was a big project for
49:35
us. And I used to hear from the project manager all the time.
49:40
I don't hear from them as much, so we must be doing a good
49:44
job. Obviously, we're kind of technology advances had there been in elevators.
49:49
I mean over the last couple what's what's the new hot thing that ever,
49:51
because everybody does apps and things of that nature. It's it's is there anything
49:54
like that, or what's what's the they've gone from like the old time you
49:59
remember seeing in UM the elevator operators as they used to up until a couple
50:06
of years ago. In my hometown, we had one that when you got
50:08
on it, there was a lady there. Yeah, that drove the elevator.
50:12
I mean that wasn't That just went away maybe ten years or so ago.
50:15
So it's gone from you know, just like the old timey fixtures and
50:19
things, and they're updating those electronic UM there's voices, there's um you can
50:23
have there's videos and elevators now and remember that, Tim, so yeah,
50:29
no, um, never mind that mean luck Yeah, don't I know where
50:34
you're going with that story. Don't just keep in mind when you're on an
50:36
elevator that there's cameras in there. Every elevator has cameras in the Keep that
50:40
in mind, all right, But because I'm sure you've seen some stuff,
50:44
but go ahead. You're not alone, you're in there. But that's what
50:47
I would think with the I mean it would like any other business, Kathy,
50:51
