2:00
the Charleston Canal Charleston Main Association with this week's about Me please pet of the
2:05
week. We get to her in a couple of moments, a big event
2:07
to help out a local fire department to talk about, and former Delica Josh
2:10
Higginbotham's going to be here to join us talking about that. Plus Rick Caviner
2:14
on tomorrow's The October West is going on with the Charleston main Streets and we're
2:19
gonna talk to Rick Caviner about that coming up a little bit later on.
2:21
Plus my guest host this week, my former boss, Speedy Babans. Good
2:25
morning, sir, Good morning. Still heavily medicated from those twenty years,
2:30
but not as much medication as what it has what it has been. We're
2:34
gonna get to Speedy a little bit later on because she'd recognize his voice from
2:37
the state basketball tournaments, and he's gonna talk about his career in the world
2:40
of radio, what he's doing these days. Plus he gets to play ten
2:43
questions too. Ten questions, you get ten questions. I have the answers
2:47
for ten, maybe six or seven, but not. I'm also going to
2:51
preview the high school football game I broadcasting tonight. You're not broadcasting the game
2:54
though, Yeah, but this guy is Chris Lawrence. How you doing,
2:59
man, You know where I'm lifted pickup truck would be a redundancy. It's
3:04
exactly right. When you said that, I thought you have to point out
3:07
that it's lifted. What kind of truck are you talking? Come on,
3:08
we're gonag it old church. Chris Lawrence is here to talk about high school
3:12
full But Chris, if you met Speedy, do you know speed? Yeah?
3:14
In fact, I feel like it's nineteen ninety three and I'm sitting in
3:15
the w VOW studios. Just what I feel like right now. Somebody commented
3:20
when I posted on social media about Speedy be and here's somebody actually commented and
3:23
said, it's like nineteen ninety five all over again. Somebody listened to Speedy
3:29
and myself on the air. But I want to talk about the game.
3:30
You and Jared Lewis. You're headed to Parkersburg tonight, tr Yeah, We're
3:34
going to Parker's Bird for the George Washington Patriots taken on the big reds of
3:38
Parker's Burg. A big test for GW tonight. But they have been through
3:42
the ringer because they have probably played the most difficult schedule of anybody, at
3:46
least in the MSAC. Because they have hit all the heavy hitters right up
3:51
front, so they they and they came through it with a record of two
3:55
and three. If they could get the wind to night on the road,
3:58
man, that would really put them in a great position going into the postseason.
4:01
We've not had the opportunity to do it George Washington game yet this year,
4:05
so I'm looking forward to that. It'll be the first one on the
4:08
air. But we'll be on the air on five a WCHS tonight at seven
4:12
and the Kicks Office at seven thirty. And if you can't hear us on
4:15
the radio, or if you're at the game and want to listen, you
4:16
can download the WCHS app and it's at the app store end. You can
4:21
check out the game there. Now we're at the halfway point of the season,
4:25
I guess right. Week six, Yeah, with five and six is
4:28
kind of the halfway points. So yeah, we're there. And this is
4:30
the time when I mean, it's always time to get serious, but this
4:32
is the time when teams start taking, you know, stock of where they
4:35
are and looking looking towards the end of the season. Well, you're trying
4:39
to keep people healthy, so you start to separate the week from the chaff
4:42
here as far as you know, who's who's got a contender and who's a
4:46
pretender. I mean, some are just playing out the string, and then
4:47
others are battling for position to get a good seed in the postseason and possibly
4:54
garner a home game or full home game status all the way to Wheeling.
4:57
So have you done a game from stadium field? I've never been there.
5:00
Oh my gosh. The three is a historic place. It's got to be
5:03
over one hundred years old, but still very well kept. I'm told that
5:10
the parking is at a premium. Parking is at a premium. I don't
5:15
know if this has changed, but when Bob Wiser and I used to go
5:17
up there with Logan, the locker rooms were in the high school field house,
5:24
and like it was a track at halftime, guys are worn out the
5:28
time they get it's halftime. Let's go down to the locker room, which
5:31
was about another one hundred yard march, and then you would come back up.
5:35
I've been the only place that I've seen that or that scenario is at
5:39
Spring Valley, where at halftime the team has to walk up a hill that's
5:45
at least two or three hundred yards to the top of the hill to the
5:47
field house. You know, Parkersburg had Cabel Midland on the ropes twice they
5:51
did last week, had an inside to five yard line on two different visions,
5:56
and yeah, Cabel Midland kept them out of the end zone. That
5:58
is going to be a very nice matchup. That was seven to three at
6:01
the half. Of course, Cabl Midland, as you said, stopped them
6:04
twice inside the five. But then in the third quarter Midland just explode with
6:10
three straight touchdowns and within like two minutes it went from seven to three to
6:14
twenty eight to three. And the rest of the game was played pretty evenly
6:17
according to coach Matt Comes, but those two or three minutes were lethal to
6:21
Parkersburg. All right, that's a flashback for me. I remember when Mat
6:26
quarterback for Buddy James up there. I do too when when I interviewed him
6:30
yesterday, I was thinking to myself, I have been here long enough to
6:32
have seen players that are now coaching A Yeah, exactly exactly, says the
6:39
guy that's a couple of years younger than New York talk about Westerndinia outdoors tomorrow,
6:43
what you got We're gonna be discussing what the food sources will be for
6:46
wildlife this fall. The DNR put out its mass survey. In fact,
6:49
it came out today, so we will have a full conversation about that tomorrow
6:55
on the show, and of course after the game. Then you said cover
6:57
charts at seven. It does for tonight, I mean, and then after
7:00
the game, stick around for Fred and Dave with the game night and you're
7:03
back tomorrow with West Virginia out Doors at seven o six. Chris appreciate it.
7:06
By the way, Magic Night guitar Murphy will not be with us tonight.
7:10
We'll have a celebrity sideline speed No, I said, a celebrity side
7:15
someone who knows what they're doing. Tom Brag. Okay, Tom's awesome man.
7:19
Yeah, Tom. Tom will do a great job. Was my color
7:21
man last year when we were in transition and I needed a guy, so
7:26
he filled in this year. So he wasn't doing anything this weekend and I
7:30
ask himf people to do it and he said, be glad too. So
7:30
looking forward to having on the on the road trip with Aaron Andrews was not
7:33

7:42

8:16
Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charleston Main Association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet
8:20
of the Week. Hannah, Good morning, How are you. I'm good?
8:24
How are you? I am doing fine? Thank you for being here
8:26
and Happy Friday. Happy Friday. And my guest co host this morning is
8:31
is Speedy Babbitt's my former boss. I don't have to call me boss anymore.
8:35
Do you ever ever work with any of your former boss's, Hannah?
8:37
I know you're not as old as I am, but you ever worked in
8:39
any former bosses? Sometimes? Yeah? Okay, all right, Well,
8:43
hopefully your relationship is better than what mine is with him. Okay, let's
8:48
get to the story of Marky. Marky's picture posted on Dave Allen Radio and
8:52
Facebook and at day A seventy on x the artist formerly known as Twitter,
8:56
Hannah tell us about Marky. Yeah, so, Markie is the cutest guy.
9:03
If you go look at the picture that he posted. He looks like
9:05
he's got some like wrinklies on his forehead and stuff. He's even got the
9:09
cutest little airplane ears to stick out to the sides like a tan caller.
9:16
I don't know what he would be mixed with, but he's mixed with something
9:18
that has some roles because he's got a little bit of wrinkles on his forehead.
9:22
But anyways, he is about one year old. He is six already
9:28
and microchips and vaccinated, so he is ready to go home. He prefers
9:35
playful dog, so he actually likes dogs that are more playful, more outgoing
9:39
ones that are going to play with him, that he can kind of exercise
9:43
out his energies. He would be considered like a good weekend adventures Like if
9:50
he wanted to go on weekend trip or something, he would probably be a
9:52
good one for that. He definitely has some energy, so encouraging enrichment things
9:58
like taking him on walks and big yards and stuff like that. He has
10:03
seemed to be kids friendly from what we've noticed, but of course we always
10:09
advise caution, never leave them unattended, especially if they're around a kid.
10:13
Just to be a hundred percent shirts, but he is a very very sweet
10:18
boy. He only pulls on a leash a little bit from what I've heard.
10:20
I've not gotten to walk him myself yet, but he's a very very
10:24
all around good boy and he just needs a good home. Hey, Hannah
10:28
Sweedie Bavins. Here just a couple of observations on market number one. You
10:33
don't know what he's mixed with, but I'm a yellow Lab guy from a
10:37
long time back, and it looks like his color is a little bit reflective
10:43
of a yellow lab. Inning that is true. You know, he does
10:46
look like he could have some of that. I just don't know. I
10:52
can't think of all the dogs that have like the wrinkly skins and stuff.
10:56
But oh my gosh, he's cute. He is. And the other thing
10:58
I noticed, there's a p sure that Dave posted on his social media accounts
11:03
and Marky is situated between two other dogs. Marky just looks so happy,
11:09
like I'm hanging out with my brothers here. I mean, so any dog
11:13
that can just stand there and have a great pose with other dogs around him
11:18
gotta be a great guy. Yes, yes, he is a very very
11:22
sweet boy. And he also is about just to kind of give you an
11:24
idea, he's about fifty six fifty seven pounds, so he's an average sized
11:31
dog. He's a good looking dog for sure. Marky's the dog's name again.
11:33
Pictures posted on my social media sides, Handy, you guys are getting
11:37
ready for another Bissell Pet Foundation Empty the Shelter's Adoption event. Now, this
11:41
is this is a huge nationwide event that folks of Bissell do. Three hundred
11:46
and forty five shelters in forty two states taking part. Most animals and I
11:50
understand, thanks to Bissell are fifty dollars or less. That includes the microchipping
11:56
and the vaccine plus being spade or neuterant. And I understand it start tomorrow,
12:01
which is the beginning of October. What a great event this is and
12:03
hats off to the folks Abissel for making it happen. Yes, yes,
12:07
we love Bissel. We love having the event. I believe there's three or
12:11
four times that we have it in a year, so we're very very thankful
12:15
for that. And it's typically at our shelter. It's typically twenty five dollars
12:20
adoption fees. We typically don't really do the fifty, but we do stick
12:24
with the twenty five. But I'm sure we will post about that tomorrow morning
12:30
as well, So just keep an eye on our Facebook and we'll have all
12:33
that information on there. And you had some animals, some dogs that just
12:35
went out to Michigan. Is that right? Yeah, so we actually had
12:39
quite a few dogs go on a flight out to Michigan. It was a
12:43
rescue that pulled them, not for any specific reason other than you know,
12:48
we were just really full and they were offering the help. That's great.
12:50
So, yeah, that is amazing. Dogs don't care where they are as
12:54
long as they have a dogs or cats, long as they have a good
12:56
home and good people, they don't really care where they are. Great story
12:58
about that, Hannah. In today's Charleston Cassette. It's front page story had
13:01
a real nice photo with it, and it's it's something that's a very nice
13:07
read. Yes, yes, I agree, and we're very very thankful to
13:11
the rescue who helped us in all of that, and the transporters who helped
13:13
us as well. Hannah, do you have any outreach going on this weekend?
13:16
I know you guys are sometimes on weekends out at about different places.
13:20
Anything going on this weekend? Nothing to my knowledge, I don't think we
13:24
have anything planned for this weekend. I think we're just getting ready for business
13:26
tomorrow. All right, Hannah. I appreciate you as always, Dear,
13:30
we'll talk to you next week. Thanks a lot, Thank you very much.
13:33
And a gardener with our Adopt me Please. Pet of the Week from
13:35
the Canal Charlestony Main Association again, it's Markie Speedy. He's around one year
13:41
old, newtered vaccinated microchip. She calls him a social butterfly. I loved
13:46
him with the funky bunch. You know, it's such a good vibrate.
13:48
It was a good vibration that brought in as a stray. Very very sweet
13:54
boy needs a yard. I he's one years old and you know he's around
13:58
fifty five fifty six pounds or so. He's gonna need a little room to
14:01
run. But it looks like a fantastic dog from someone who had taken end
14:03
strays over the course of my life. They never forget. Absolutely, they
14:09
love you forever. I agree and again, go to the shelters. Get
14:15
them, however you have to get them, but to do not go to
14:18

20:02
eleven am to one pm hot dog sale, followed by a community parade at
20:07
three o'clock and we're also doing registrations online if anybody would like to join us
20:11
in the parade. Wow, you had a lot going on. And this
20:12
is all going to be next week, right next Saturday, October seventh.
20:15
Okay, Well, hopefully the weather will be as good as what it's going
20:18
to be this weekend for you when you go out there. So, Joshua,
20:21
how did Juliet involved in this? Man, you're a political guy.
20:22
How'd you get involved in all this? I know it's crazy. Well though,
20:26
Jamie and I've known each other for a few years now, and anytime
20:30
there was an event at barbecue sale at the Fire Department, I was always
20:33
there helping. And you know, you're like me, You always show up
20:37
at the bake sales. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, that's why
20:37
I'm fat. But she said a few months ago that I should be involved.
20:44
And she's actually the public information officer for the Fire Department and now the
20:48
secretary of the board and then as well as a member of course. And
20:52
so I'm now on the Red Light Committee, which handles fundraising and events and
20:56
stuff. So is this like a newer event? Have you done this in
20:59
the past two years? Ago, we did a seventieth anniversary celebration and we
21:03
kicked off the day. We did a lot of the same things with hot
21:07
dogs and a five k and a parade. So we just decided that we
21:11
wanted to do We'll do it again at seventy five, but to kick off
21:14
Fire Prevention Week. Tyler Mountain was actually founded on October eighth, which kicks
21:18
off fire Prevention Week, so we're doing like I said, we're doing it
21:22
on the seventh of October. But it's just a community awareness. We really
21:26
just want to have the community know that we're there for them. They can
21:29
also go online and sign up for free smoke alarms. I actually I am
21:33
charing the smoke alarm installations so they would get to see my shining, smiling
21:36
face show up in a pickup truck with lights on it, you know,
21:40
one of our Tyler Mountain apparatus, and then go and can install smoke alarms
21:44
or a carbon monoxide detector for free. Transitioning to my new career as an
21:48
insurance agent, and you talk about fire prevention, plug, plug plug,
21:53
We're going to get more in. It's also a good time. Whoever your
22:00
insurance agent is, get that homeowner's insurance policy. Call your insurance agent and
22:06
just say, am I covered enough? Because you probably took that homeowner's policy
22:11
out fifteen twenty years ago at the dwelling protection you had then nowhere close to
22:18
building you back today? Right? And but but if you have those smoke
22:23
alarms with working batteries, and are the ones we instar good for ten years?
22:27
So you would I mean, and that may even I'm just going to
22:30
say, get you a discount on your homeowner's policy. What do you think
22:33
speeding? I think it absolutely would, absolutely, And the importance of smoke
22:37
alarms. I mean, you see you pick up the paper and you hear
22:41
us talking about on the air, how many of the fires that we have
22:42
in the air no working smoke alarms or people thought they were working because they
22:45
were hanging on the wall. They've been hanging there since the Carter administration.
22:49
You haven't done anything, you know, to them, since they don't the
22:52
batteries don't change themselves. You know, you got to do that from time
22:55
to time. So let's talk about this event again. And where can people
22:57
learn more? You got Can you find some information on social media or website?
23:00
Where you got Yeah, I've shared some things on my social media and
23:04
my Facebook and Twitter or x I guess yeah. And so the Tyler Mountain
23:10
Fire Department page on social media also has a pretty big following. You can
23:14
get the link on there and then t m VFD dot com dot dot org,
23:21
it's dot com. You can register there for the event, and of
23:23
course walk ins are welcome to sign up. Thankfully, Dutch Miller Automotive Group
23:30
is one of the sponsors. Helped us get some T shirts and so people
23:33
don't have to necessarily preregister. We can send them a T shirt. And
23:37
then of course the hot dog sail and parade not at all going on there
23:41
next weekend. Josh, you're gonna be back next Friday is the guest host
23:44
on the show, so you'll get a couple more plugs in for it then
23:45
as well. Absolutely, man, what a good marketer you are. You
23:48
know how to plan this, don't you. You said on Friday, I'll
23:51
come in and talk with Jamie, and the next week I'll come back his
23:53
guest host, and he knows what he's doing. He's a national marketer.
23:57
Jamie, go ahead, that's absolutely Why do you think I recruited him to
24:00
be on the red Light. We've known each other for years, and he
24:03
is a mover and a shaker he is indeed. All right, Jamie,
24:06
very nice to meet you, and I agree with what Speedy said. You
24:08
have an incredible voice, so stick around. Maybe we'll let you host the
24:11
show too. Maybe you'll just let you have my job. How's that well,
24:14
I'd be glad to come back and help post. All right, Jamie,
24:17
I appreciate you better. Josh. Always a pleasure, my friend.
24:18
We'll talk to you next week. Thanks a lot, best of luck with
24:22
your best of luck with everything that's going on with you there. Five Vity
24:25
Lives brought to you part by your hometown baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds.
24:27
Hey, you're invited to come check out the Down a Dirty Music Festival
24:30
Gildmar Ballpark October the fourteenth and the fifteenth. Par ticketson for more information to
24:34
visit Down and Dirty Musical Festival dot com and get down to Dirty Musical Festival
24:38
dot com. Let's go to our good friend Rick Cavner now from Charleston Main
24:42
Streets. Rick is here, Rick, Good morning, It's October West time.
24:47
Hard to believe October's here, Buddy, I know good morning day.
24:51
How are you all this morning. I am doing fine, Thank you for
24:53
being here. My guest host is Speedy Bavins that he's roaming around here at
24:57
somewhere. He'll be back here just a little bit. What do you got
25:00
going on tomorrow? Well, yeah, tomorrow is excuse me, Tomorrow is
25:04
our fifteenth annual October West Celebration right in the heart of the West Side in
25:11
the Oak City District. This event has grown from a very small sort of
25:17
German themed October Fest festival in two thousand and nine and here we are in
25:21
twenty twenty three, and it's one of the largest live music and crappier festivals
25:26
in the state of West Virginia. And the weather fantastic, man for you.
25:30
I mean there's and you know, there's so many things going on the
25:32
area tomorrow. I know, the folks in Barbersville, I'll get their fall
25:34
festival going on, Polkas got some things going on tomorrow. But no matter
25:38
what you're doing tomorrow, try to take them all in because the weather's going
25:41
to be absolutely picture Brothers, this homecoming from a Marshall thunder here tomorrow as
25:45
well. So you've bet a part of this for how long since the beginning?
25:48
Well, no not, we've of course, our organizations merged in twenty
25:53
fifteen, whenever I started getting involved. But the the the event itself formerly
26:00
stood by what was West Side Main Street, started in two thousand and nine.
26:03
So so yeah, it's it's you know. Of course, in May
26:07
we have our big East end event called Phone with the Dome or you're very
26:10
familiar with it. In late September we have October west on the West Side.
26:15
So I mean just in this event, you know, this is a
26:17
this is a fundraiser for our organization. Obviously, all the funds raised through
26:21
sponsorships and ticket sales go right back into our the operations of our organizations,
26:25
so we can we can implement items in our work plan to make the West
26:29
Side of Charleston at the Business District stronger. And but it's also a great
26:34
opportunity to showcase the businesses there. All the businesses get involved in one way
26:37
or another, and it's also a great opportunity to to sort of create that
26:42
residual effect and open new eyes to to so many to people that have maybe
26:47
have not ever been to a business on the West Side. So it's been
26:51
it's been a huge success. We usually see between two thousand and twenty three
26:55
hundred people attend this event, usually from at least it depends on the year,
26:59
but the average about fifteen different states. And yeah, it's it's grown
27:03
into a into a huge attraction for the entire region. And I mean to
27:07
have all of this good on in the west side of Charleston. Again,
27:11
just because it's on the west side doesn't mean that, as you said,
27:12
you got it. How many states are representing? How many states are you
27:15
expecting? There's really no way of knowing, but I mean on average,
27:18
Yeah, we look at our tickets all data. We've had both from fifteen
27:22
different states registered for tickets over the last at least since we started using our
27:26
software, which was in twenty sixteen. So you know, Joe, I'm
27:30
sorry, Josh Spitty Bevan's guest hosting today. For those of you who have
27:34
not been on the West Side, I have dropped considerable amounts of money at
27:41
a barbecue place there. Yeah, is it two brothers that would be I
27:47
mean, you talk about anchor, you know, anytime you talk retail or
27:51
anything, you talk about anchor stores. That is an anchor right there,
27:56
Yo, Yeah, and the owners of that place are wonderful community members and
28:02
leaders and they're involved with that organization and they've done great work. Now they've
28:06
expanded to downtown and we're really really proud of them, so, you know,
28:10
and that's sort of that's a good example of a locally owned business who
28:14
gets directly involved with their community and offers it a wonderful product and people come
28:18
back for more on a weekly or maybe daily basis, And that's one reason
28:22
we host this event is to shine a spotlight on those businesses. And Rick,
28:26
now you're going to come back on Monday, and I don't want to
28:30
spoil the surprise, but you I don't even know what it is, but
28:32
you say you've got a big announcement to make on Monday, So you're gonna
28:34
be actually back on the show on Monday. I'm looking forward to finding out
28:37
what is because I don't know what it is. Yeah, we're actually making
28:41
the announcement on stage during October West Tomorroway. But but I have a lot
28:47
to update you on and to talk about regarding that annoucement on Monday, So
28:51
I'm excited to come back and talk about that. All right, Rick,
28:52
give us the details again, what times everything start tomorrow. The event goes
28:56
from four pm to nine pm. It's right there on Washington Street West,
29:02
in between Pennsylvania Avenue and Maryland excuse me, Indiana Avenue in the Elk City
29:07
district of the West Side. We have an entertainment zone. We have we
29:11
have a VIP level tickets that you can purchase. We have a special VIP
29:15
tent that will be set up on Tennessee Avenue. We have I believe eight
29:19
food vendors that will be there throughout the evening. We have three live,
29:22
wonderful live music acts that will be on stage the starting starting around four o'clock
29:27
when the event starts, going through nine pm. And you can I still
29:32
get your tickets now for a little bit cheaper than if you buy them at
29:34
the gate. If you go to CWV Main Streets dot org, go to
29:38
our website. It's the very first thing you see whenever you go to the
29:41
home page is the October West page. You can buy your tickets there,
29:45
but you can also buy them as they're five dollars more expensive. No matter
29:48
what level you buy or the VIP general admission or the basin intor driver ticket
29:52
will be five dollars more at the door, and again all proceeds go back
29:56
to our organization. So all right, Rick, look forward to see you
30:00
tomorrow. I look forward to having you back in the studio on Monday.

Funhouse Speedie. You know, give us the bio on Speedy Bevans. Now,
34:09
in addition, you know, I always throw out that you were my
34:12
boss for a number of years at w VW or Radio in Logan. Bit,
34:15
but just give us the other than other than being my boss, give
34:20
us the bio, Speedy Bevans. I'm a guy who just couldn't get anyone
34:23
to hire. I mean, seriously, I have only been able to find
34:29
two companies in my life that would give me a job. Yeah, to
34:35
two companies in your entire life. That's one being Logan Broadcasting Corporation, the
34:39
parent company of w VW and the current company that you have, and we're
34:43
going to talk about that a little bit later on. You know, Speedy,
34:46
I love asking radio and television people this, what was it that made
34:51
you want to say? And you can tie that kind of tie us into
34:52
your bio. What made you say I want to do this for a living.
34:59
The background of how I got interested in broadcasting was I have a brother
35:05
that's four years older than I am, and you know him well yea.
35:07
And so when he's like twelve and you're eight, and you're choosing up sides
35:13
to play whiffleball or whatever if there are enough to play, you didn't get
35:17
chosen to play. And so there were many times I did not get chosen
35:22
to play. So to just amuse myself, I would go grab a stick
35:28
and I would just go sit over on the side and I would broadcast their
35:31
whiffleball game. I'm like eight years old. Yeah, I did the same
35:35
thing. I can relate, okay, And so from there it was just
35:38
kind of like, okay, this, this seems like a fun thing to
35:42
go. Always wanted to be a game show host more than a sportscaster,
35:45
more than anything. Anderie Anderson, Me and Ernie g Anderson. He got
35:50
it with high Q. Still waiting on my big break. But I just
35:52
I just grew up in the sixties watching game shows and that's what you wanted
35:59
to do. And that was a big influence in me and broadcast. There
36:01
were some of your radio or television idols growing up. Who did you look
36:06
it and say, I'd like to do I'd like to be that guy.
36:07
I don't know if you remember a guy. He was just an iconic game
36:09
show host, Bill Cullin. I do remember Bill. Bill Cullin, I
36:14
think hosted every game show that there could be hosted. Was he married to
36:17
Betty White at one point? Now? That was Alan Luddon that was Jeff
36:23
Okay, okay, we need to go in and correct Wikipedia. Yeah.
36:28
Sorry. Alan Ludden was the host of Password. Okay, all right,
36:31
So Bill Cullin. Yeah, and so Bill Cullin hosted all kinds of Okay
36:35
Jose Alan Ludden was another one. Uh, and of course let's make a
36:39
deal. No, don't don't do door number two. You know they're gonna
36:44
get burned. There were just all kinds of great game shows on You don't
36:49
say was one Concentration later and that was hosted by Hugh Downs that you remember
36:53
on twenty twenty and at the time we were in ABC affiliated. I was
36:59
up in Your York. I went over to ABC as I always did,
37:02
and Hugh Downs walked in really and I just thought, and I just said,
37:07
hey, I just want to tell you. You know, I used
37:09
to watch you on Concentration and I think he was shocked at anybody remember Concentration,
37:15
right, yeah, and your love of sports. You know, I
37:19
bless you, by the way for remaining a loyal Browns fan all these years.
37:22
But you're also a big time Cardinals fan. And I know the reason.
37:25
I know the reason why you follow the Cards. But tell listeners,
37:29
what made you a Cardinals fan. My dad made me a Cardinals fan.
37:32
And my dad grew up in Belfrey, Kentucky, which is right across the
37:37
river from Williamson. And in the late nineteen thirties, every small town in
37:42
America I had a minor league baseball team, and so the Williamson Redbirds they
37:46
were a Class D team, which is, you know, about as low
37:50
as you can get in professional baseball. They brought in a left handed pitcher
37:57
from Dadnorah Pennsylvania by the name of Stam Usual and he really wasn't that good
38:04
a pitcher, but he could also play the outfield on days when he wasn't
38:07
pitching. And we all know how that went. Stam Usual was actually in
38:12
Williamson for two years. You think about one of the iconic baseball players of
38:17
all time, couldn't get out of Class D for two years. But when
38:22
he got out, he got out. He did some stuff, Yes he
38:25
did. And you know, funny, funny story on that. To Noora,
38:30
Pennsylvania is also the hometown of Ken Griffy's senior. And you know,
38:36
in my time of vow we were Reds affiliate. Went to a lot of
38:38
Red's events and met Ken Griffy senior and I said, you know, I
38:43
was at the first game you played for the Reds in August of seventy three.
38:46
I was about to start my freshman You're at Marshall. He kind of
38:50
looked at me and he said, senior in high school, I got an
38:55
offer to go to Marshall to play baseball. Me and my best friend couldn't
39:00
decide whether to go to the Reds or go to Marshall. My best friend
39:04
went to Marshall to play baseball. I went with the Reds. Really yeah,
39:07
wow, what a story. Let me tell you else. I don't
39:09
know if you're aware of this. We're really getting an off drave here a
39:13
guy that was at Marshall for one year played baseball, wasn't really that good,
39:17
but was in the broadcasting course. Billy Christ Jildy Crystal. Yeah,
39:21
A lot of people don't know that I did being a Marshall guy as you
39:23
are. I know that. So let's talk about your time at w VW.
39:27
You know, most people can't will say to me, They say,
39:30
you know, I can't believe that you stayed in one place that long.
39:31
It was twenty years during the morning show there. That's a long time in
39:36
radio. It's a long time to be in one job, period, But
39:37
at one time in one job for twenty years on radio televisions almost unheard of.
39:43
You started though at w VW Radio and Logan as a as a teenager,
39:47
and you left as a general manager. How many years were you there?
39:52
I was there starting in the fall of nineteen seventy two. Next month
39:54
will be fifty three fifty one that I started there and I left and at
40:04
the end of November twenty fifteen. So that was do the math. That
40:09
was like forty three years, forty three years, forty three years, and
40:15
then I mean, that's that's amazing to me. Forty You spent forty three
40:20
years and then to transition into doing something totally different after forty three years at
40:24
one place, that's I mean, that's that takes a lot of intestinal fortitude.
40:29
It really either intestinal fortitude or desperation. I got, I got a
40:35
couple of texts I want to get to, and then I want to continue
40:37
on with Speedy. Bevin says Texas Dave. Great to hear Speedy on the
40:42
program this morning. He has a lot of historical knowledge. Thanks. That's
40:45
the way of saying year old. That's the way I'm saying I'm old.
40:49
Yeah. Tech says you need to have Speedy lists all the Triple A boys
40:52
state basketball champions in order from the last forty years. Okay, so the
40:58
last forty years would be nineteen eighty two or nineteen eighty three, eighty three,
41:02
Okay, so we'll start in eighty two, Okay, okay. Uh.
41:07
Stonewall Jackson wanted on the last second shot the field of South Charleston nineteen
41:12
eighty three, the Logan Wildcats nineteen eighty four, the Oak Hill Red Devils
41:15
nineteen eighty five. It would be Stonewall Jackson nineteen eighty six. It would
41:21
be Stonewall Jackson nineteen eighty seven, Huntington, how about doing you don't mean
41:27
I'm sorry? Nineteen eighty seven. Was Charleston. Nineteen ninety seven was Charleston,
41:30
Greg Dennis and Mark Mason who's coaching the football program? Okay there now?
41:35
Nineteen eighty eight was Huntington nineteen eighty nine, was Martinsburg. Nineteen ninety
41:39
was Woodrow Wilson. Nineteen ninety one was Logan you want me to continue?
41:44
I think you proved your point by the way that text came in. That
41:46
was a personal text that came from our former co worker and employee, Zach
41:51
Anderson, who's listening to us today. Yeah, that was that came from
41:54
Zack Amberon. Is Zach not working today? You should be working? Zach
41:58
is a public employee. Get back to dollars should be put to better use.
42:00
Get back to work text says today's younger generations may never know the fun
42:05
of plugging in the oversized headphones and the turntable stereo and becoming a radio DJ
42:10
back in the seventies and eighties. That's what got us into this stuff,
42:14
man, or me especially. You know, I've told any number of people
42:16
I can't growing up, I just couldn't think of anything better than the set
42:22
same for five six hours and play music. That's that's that that that's how
42:29
I got into you know, the show WKRP in Cincinnati was a big part
42:31
of it, But for me, it was listening and at the time I've
42:35
heard me talking about on the show. Before Logan, West Virginia had two
42:37
successful radio stations, w v AWWLOG I worked at both. Started at de
42:42
log went away to college, came back after college and worked at VAW.
42:46
But I mean, I've had other jobs. I have other jobs now as
42:50
a matter of fact. But this is my this is my passion. This
42:53
is what I do. I mean, it's my blood, like I don't
42:57
know, like some sort of fungus and probably never get out of there quickly
43:00
before we go to brak Orb Junior. One day, we gotta do ten
43:04
questions, we've gotta get some other stuff as well. Speedy one day you
43:07
just decided that for all that time to go into a totally new career as
43:10
an insurance agent. As an insurance agent, you know, I woke up
43:16
and one morning I thought, man, I'm about to turn sixty. And
43:22
the next thought that entered my mind is I'm not ready to turn seventy and
43:28
retire. And I had wanted to transition out of radio for a couple of
43:32
years, and quite frankly, wanted to unfortunately transition out of the Southern coalfields,
43:37
which economically was very challenged at the time. And whether you're religious or
43:45
not, the Lord moves in mysterious ways, and so here I am.
43:52
I am an all state insurance agent and hurricane and I have two wonderful people
43:58
that work for me. You're in the office a lot, Sarah Eggleton and
44:01
Charlotte Charlie Breeden. They got my back. They make me look good.
44:06
And it is a decision that I have zero regrets in doing. Five eighty
