Landau thirty some odd years. Actually he's an l A guy. Yeah,
3:28
he's an LA game and we anytime I have him on the show, we
3:31
get into old stories of back in the old days. Dangerous for that,
3:36
well, it can be, it can be very much. But you know,
3:38
I think about him as is. Uh. He's not changed one bit.
3:42
I mean still lives in Logan, Uh, tours all over the world.
3:45
Went to you know, I had him in with Animal and he was
3:47

South Africa. But be La over There's going to be La over there and
4:05
it's gonna okay, it's gonna end right, you know that late fifteen hours

in Dubai. So I'm excited about it. Oh, you know you're going
4:13
to jail. I'm not gonna lie to you go to jail. I'm kidding,
4:16
I'm kidding. What are you go going on with the Shrine club man?
4:18
We have a lot of things going on. Well, we just finished
4:21
up the food drive. We teamed up with the Union Mission and we did
4:27
a great job collecting food. You know, people were able to come through
4:30
our parking lot and just kind of pop the trunk or say hey, roll
4:32
down the winter come and get this food. So it was really convenient for
4:35
everybody and we were really excited. It was our first time participating in that.
4:40
And then of course, starting yesterday we started the tire of toys and
4:46
we're going to be a drop off collection point for the for the toys here
4:49
in Charleston, and uh, it's the same, it's the same gig.
4:54
You know, you can drive through our parking lot we're gonna have We're gonna
4:58
have some nobles out there on the parking lot collecting the toys from eleven to
5:04
noon and then from four to five every day Monday through Friday this week and
5:11
next to collect all those toys. And that's going to lead us up to
5:15
our breakfast with Santa, which will be on the sixteenth, I believe,
5:20
And that's going to be a really good opportunity for everybody to bring their children,
5:26
grandchildren's, nieces, nephews out, have a good pancake breakfast and meet
5:30
Santa Claus. So that's going to be really exciting. And how does that
5:35
work? I mean, I mean they just show up, read ahead of
5:39
time, come in, and you buy your tickets at the door, and
5:42
then we'll serve you how much our tickets? Yeah, okay, we'll find
5:46
out it's not that expensive. Okay, okay, it's a small donationally tough
5:53
time pulling up all that information this morning. So Ryan didn't pay the bill
5:59
on the internet like we told you to. That problem, But Okay,
6:01
we'll get that information. Small donation. Yeah, and uh you know the
6:06
kids that the little kids, of course they won't be charged for. But
6:11
anyways, we have a waterflo in the north pole coming down to meet with
6:14
the kids, and that'll lead us right into the New Year, which is
6:17
a going to be a great party at the Temple. It's a Studio fifty
6:25
four themed party with all the wonderful libations and music. DJ is going to
6:30
be playing. Everybody's going to be kind of in a studio fifty old enough
6:35
to remember studio fist. I'm not either, but you can look it up
6:38
on the end. That's what I was thinking. I was a kid during
6:42
the Studio fifty four days, so I don't even know if I was porn
6:45
day good. Why do I get? Why do I give you airtime?
6:48
That's what I want to know. I love you love the Shrine, Yeah
6:50
I do. I do. I love the work that you guys do.
6:54
Uh So the Studio fifty fourth thing, how did it all come about?
6:57
Well, you know, we've done the Bootleggers Ball this year, We've done
7:00
the Halloween Broomstick Ball, and we kind of try to pair our costumes or
7:06
a theme with the cocktails and the music, and it's just a really authentic
7:12
fun time and and it's just a way to raise money. You know.
7:15
All that money goes to help keep the temple open and running so that we
7:20
can do all of our good work for the children of the hospitals. And
7:25
uh So it's it's a wonderful time. It's a great safe environment with a
7:30
you know, with a great mission behind it. So we ask everyone,
7:35
if you don't have any plans for New Years, please make your reservations as
7:40
soon as you can. Uh and you can. You can call the temple
7:45
every day and stop by or even stop by. It's a one hundred Charrier
7:50
Street. But the telephone numbers every code three zero four, three four three
7:55
nine four zero five, and you can ask them to to get you tickets
7:59
for that New Year's Eve bash that we're having. So it's going to be
8:03
a great, great time. And you guys just do so much during the
8:07
entire year, not just during the holiday season. And we talked about the
8:11
food drives, and one other thing I wanted to mention, I think you're
8:13
giving up your parking lot for two big days on Wednesday the thirteenth and Thursday
8:18
of the fourteenth, it's the fourth annual Charleston Police Department's Winter Wonderland Toy Drive.
8:22
Absolutely, and they're going to be out there on the parking lot.
8:24
And I had some of the folks on, David Paine and some of the
8:28
other mass Toorgado on the show a couple of weeks ago talking about that because
8:31
they kind of kicked it off at Holly Jolly Braley, you know, on
8:35
the right. But what a wonderful event that is, oh yeah, yeow.
8:37
And plus we have the Light of the Night over at the Gomart Ballpark
8:43
as well, two million lights over there. But so next Wednesday the thirteenth
8:46
and Thursday the fourteenth, that's the fourth annual Charleston Police Department's Winterland Toy Drive.
8:52
And you guys again, as you do, I have graciously given up
8:54
your parking lot for people to drop toys off there. We absolutely love doing
9:00
that with them. Lieutenant Pain is a joy to work with the Charleston Police
9:03
Department Fire departments. They are just anything that we do. They volunteer to
9:07
help us too. So we are happy to partnership with the city and to
9:13
events and we always look forward to it every year. And it's an absolute
9:16
blessing if you look out on the parking lot and see all those kids out
9:20
there having fun. And of course we had our trunk or treat event in
9:24
October, if you remember, Lieutenant pain Fire Department, police Department, everybody
9:28
was there to help us out too. So it's a great partnership that we've
9:33
made over the years and we really truly enjoy working with them. And the
9:37
Christmas Parade in Charleston is Thursday night, So what do you folks have in
9:41
store? Well, we're going to have as many people in that parade as
9:43
we possibly can. It's on a night that is a non meeting night for
9:48
us this year, so we're really excited about it and look forward to participating
9:52
and seeing everybody on the sidewalks and hopefully get the word out, hey,
9:58
we're out there. We're doing all of our wonderful things that we do and
10:03
fun things that we do to raise money for the children. So and now,
10:05
are you guys making your rounds? And several Christmas parades in the area
10:09
or you can't believe that the guys were in three on Saturday. I own
10:13
three. We know the feeling here. I think, yeah, I was
10:16
only in two of them. I helped out one of our sisters station in
10:20
the Mountain, but I think our stations were in four this past week and
10:24
it's just about as busy this week too. It's the it's the Christmas parade
10:26
season. Unfortunately, everybody seems to want to have them all at the same
10:30
time. You can't make them all. Well, that's true, and you
10:33
know, we have different units and clubs out there. So we're hitting the
10:39
Monroe County, we're hitting you know, Jackson County, we're hitting We're down
10:45
in Logan. We always do the Logan Parade, so always a big thing.
10:48
Beckley, we do the Beckley thing. So and then of course you
10:52
know we have up there in that Mountain, EBow area, Somersville. I
10:56
mean, we do a little bit of everything, and we try to get
11:01
to every event that we possibly can just to get the word out about what
11:05
we do and what our philanthropy is all about. So we're really excited talking
11:07
with Chris with throw again for the Benny Ketdom Shrimp Christmas. The final time
11:11
I'll have you on this year. You'll be back in the new year.
11:13
I just wanted to take an opportunity to say hats off to you and the
11:16
Shriners and everything that you do to not only make Charleston play a better place,
11:22
but not to sound too hokey here, but to make the world a
11:24
better place, because that's the whole mission of the Shrine Club. It certainly
11:30
is. And Dave, we want to thank you and your platform that you
11:33
have here and then you allow us to come here and spread the words.
11:37

15:24
my friend? I am good man. Busy, busy, busy, busy.
15:28
You hit the building this morning about what eight eight twenty. We started
15:33
you off with Steve Anam while you survived that, and then we sent you
15:35
to Stephen Jenny, Stephen Jenny a little bit you know, more laid back,
15:39
and then and then you got Robriel, who certifiedly insane that does the
15:43
morning show on the Superstar Country KWS. But your holiday tour and you do
15:48
this every year thirteen years. Is that what I heard you saying. Yeah,
15:52
thirteenth annual, thirteenth annual holiday tour. And you know, you you
15:56
travel literally all over the world. Chris Wythrow and I were talking about your
16:00
trip to Dubai that you took. You literally travel all over the world.
16:04
But for thirteen years now, you have come back to West Virginia. Yes,
16:08
for a series of dates. Yes, Why why do you do that?
16:15
I just think if I didn't, my grandmother would get up out of
16:18
her grave and slap the crap out of me, you know, just not
16:22
stay in true to my roots. I mean, and I grew up here,
16:25
and I know what it's like not to be able to see, you
16:27
know, the concerts of the famous people and things like that. So I
16:32
just always said, if I ever got on that platform, but I'd always
16:34
come back home, and you know, share that with my hometown folks.
16:40
And so, you know, when I travel around the world and I meet
16:42
these famous people and we do shows together, I always try to bring them
16:47
back to the state of West Virginia because everybody can't go to Hollyweired, and
16:52
some people don't want to go to Hollyweird. Let's talk about the charitable component,
16:56
because anytime you do these, there's always a charity that you work in
17:00
it. Sometimes it's a school band. I know. Of course you have
17:03
your Christmas toy program that's the overall, but you're always given, whether it's
17:06
Children's Home Society or something like that. Talk about the importance of giving back.
17:10
Uh, the giving back part is just being a good you know,
17:12
humanitarian, I would say, you know, just being a good person.
17:17
And especially when you've been blessed with something, you always want to try to
17:19
pay it forward. And that's just my way of paying for We're just giving
17:22
back, you know, more or you know, as much as I take
17:29
in. You know, we all want to earn a living, but there's
17:32
also other people out there in need of help. And if I have that
17:34
platform to be able to do that, I believe that I am supposed to
17:37
do that. So and I think the blessing would be taken away from me
17:41
if I didn't. Yeah, and again, I mean every show, it
17:45
seems like it's somebody I know. A couple of years ago, I helped
17:48
you guys set up a thing in Rohan County to help out that helping their
17:49
musical department in our hometown, our collective hometown of Logan. You're doing something
17:55
on Saturday night at the theater there to help out the Logan High Band.
17:59
Yes, at the Coville jumber Real. We got a whole red carpet I
18:02
have. Cameron is gonna be there. Cameron. Yeah, we'll talk about
18:06
Cameron a little bit. But that's my point is is that that there's always
18:08
some sort of a charitable component, including your toy drive. Let's talk about
18:12
this young man, Cameron Lawston. He was on American Idol. He's joining
18:17
me on the tour. You're playing Charleston Thursday evening, So we'll talk about
18:22
that a little bit. But tell me about Cameron. For those who aren't
18:23
familiar with Cameron Lawson, Oh, Cameron is a West Virginia native from the
18:29
blue Fields down in Beckley, and he's an amazing singer. He looks like
18:33
a young version of Smokey Robinson. I mean, so other girls are gonna
18:37
love him, So you ladies better come out to this show. I mean,
18:41
and he's phenomenal singer. He can hit it just about five or six
18:45
different octaves. I mean, he's just a talented young man. So you
18:49
know, once again, using my blessing to pay it forward and having his
18:55
platform. I figure out I help out a fellow West Virginia. You know
19:00
him off that show and he's basically just looking for a job or you know,
19:03
any ways to capitalize on what he accomplished on that show. And how
19:07
would you describe his musical style? Is he what does he do? I
19:11
mean, I know on those shows like that you sometimes have to do a
19:14
little bit of everything. You can't specialize, but what is his specialty?
19:18
Per se? On the show he actually sun truly by Richie to Linel Richie
19:23
right, So it's I mean, that was an amazing, you know moment
19:29
for him and for line of Richie. I believe so, uh you know,
19:33
just go on YouTube and watch his audition. It was it was It
19:37
was kind of interesting, you know, to see him you actually singing to
19:41
his his hero and his hero is kind of like singing the words along with
19:48
them would have been like you had you had the opportunity to be able to
19:52
sing to Frank Sin exactly if you can get the words out, I mean,
19:56
because you meet your heroes, it could be kind of difficult. Now,
20:00
you guys had your first show with the tour this past weekend in Clarksburg.
20:03
I think, how was that? Oh, that was fantastic. It
20:06
was a nice crowd. Cameron did great. Everybody loved and we had a
20:14
lot of fun and a lot of special moments on stage with joking and you
20:18
know, just a carmaraderie of being very weedy at times when you need to
20:22
be. Yeah, and I'll say this about about one of your shows.
20:26
If no one has seen you in concert, and I've seen you for seventy
20:30
years now, it seems but but but it seems if you go to on
20:34
Landau Murphy's show, whether you know number one, he's gonna do a little
20:40
bit of everything. Now the Christmas is a little bit different, but a
20:41
normal show, you're gonna do a little bit of everything. And you don't
20:45
take yourself that seriously. I've seen you literally like stop a song and start
20:48
it again because you're like because you and you and you laugh a lot on
20:52
stage. And it's not like you're going to a formal black tie affair where
20:56
you're gonna sit there like you have something stuck in your backside. You know
20:59
you're actually going too and you're gonna have a good time when you come to
21:03
a Landown Murphy show, yes, And I mean that's that's the beauty of
21:07
it. If you're not having fun, then you're not doing it. And
21:08
so I try not to. I mean, I believe in that, I
21:14
take my talent very serious, the blessing of it, but just being stiff
21:18
and all, you know, thinking that anybody else that's sitting in the audience.
21:22
I just don't everyone to get that feeling. And so when i'm when
21:26
I mess up on the song, yeah, I'm gonna stop it and tell
21:29
all this didn't y'all notice that I messed that up? And they'll go yeah,
21:32
and then it's a laugh, you know, and everybody gets that moment.
21:34
Everybody gets to share that moment. And I was like, well,
21:37
let's start over and see if we can get this right, you know.
21:38
But it's it's those little things that keep me human and stop me from being
21:42
jaded, you know, and those the things that I stay away from.
21:45
I don't ever want to lose sight of who I am or where I came
21:48
from or the way I was raised or you know, my roots. I
21:52
mean, I'm a West Virginian for life, and I'm always want to be
21:56
that way. And I don't ever want that to go away. So those
22:00
little moments like that is what keeps me human. You know. It keeps
22:03
me connected to you, It keeps me connected to the audience, it keeps
22:07
me connected to my roots. And it's just, you know, I don't
22:10
fear it. It's just it's a it's a stumble, just like any other
22:14
human being doing a nine to five job anywhere else. If you don't get
22:18
the papers copied right, you've got to go change the egg right and start
22:23
over. It's the same thing on stage to me. So it's just like
22:26
that's the way I look at it. I don't take it all like,
22:29
oh god, I missed that lyric. And they need to you know,
22:32
you know, people are there to have a good time. They're not there
22:34
to I mean, they can stay man way. I've always thought about music,
22:37
and this is just me as a music fan. I can stay home
22:41
and stream it or you know whatever, and listen to it if I want
22:44
it perfect. I don't want to go see one of my idols in concert
22:47
and it sounds just like the recording. I can stay home on my couch
22:52
want and I want somebody that's willing to take chances and I have seen you
22:56
in concert do everything from Purple Rain to Mustang Sally. You told me a
23:00
couple of years ago, you and I were somewhere and you tell me that
23:02
you were listening to bluegrass. Yeah, I mean I did a song called
23:06
Birds of Paradise by a little Jimmy Dickens with the car. You can look
23:10
it up right now. It's on Google. It's on it's on YouTube,
23:12
on YouTube. Yeah, you're doing a little Jimmy Dickens. Yeah, birds
23:17
of parod Birds parodies your nose. I've done that song. Mayn Elephant kuresh
23:22
you with his toes. I don't sing, but that's the next line,
23:26
all right. Now, So you're in the capital city, Uh, you
23:29
can be around the Charleston Parade and then you're playing at the Scotty Trite Auditorium
23:33
Thursday night. Yes, you added a Kentucky show to the tour. That
23:36
show, there's one in Ludlow Saturday night. It's back home for you literally
23:41
at the Coldfield Jamboree and Logan, Yes, it is quite literally all where
23:45
it all started. How many times did you and I walk on that out
23:48
on that Coldfield Jamboree states to get Oh my gosh, I mean probably ever
23:52
since what two thousand and three, Yeah, something like that, because I
23:56
won I won Anson Crass Looking unty Archencraft fair competite. That was in two
24:02
thousand and three. And then that's when I was introduced to all of you
24:04
guys. And you didn't have the dreads then, right, yeahvas you did
24:10
what? I had a short cavatis that's the name of that haircut. Short
24:14
haircut like that that's tapered all the way around and not faded all out.
24:18
It's called a cavadis. That's what they call. I learned something that's promo
24:22
material right here. Landels just taught me something about about hairstyles. That's how
24:27
much, all right, in all serious? How many questions do you get
24:30
about your hair? I mean when people go men? I mean I went
24:33
to uh, I went to this African braids place in Columbus, Ohio,
24:40
off More Center Drive or something like that, and I sit in that chair
24:44
and the African lady came over there and she says, what do you want?
24:48
And I said, I need my roots twisted back down, just wash
24:52
it, you know, and then twist my roots back down. She was
24:55
like, what do you mean, twist your roots. And I was like,
24:59
my roots, the roots, my dreads is this done? Grew out?
25:00
And she was like, wait a minute, this is your hair and
25:06
I said yes. She was like no way, I said, it's my
25:08
hair. I grew. She's like, you grew this hell? I said
25:11
yes, and then she was like, do little more then we'll go.
25:17
And second, five other Africans came out of the back and then they were
25:19
all playing in my hair like he's the boy. I'm like, what is
25:25
going on? But they couldn't believe that I actually grew these dreadlines because most
25:30
people are walking around which extensions yours? A natural? Learn natural? You
25:33
know what it is. It's that Logan County cold water, creek water.
25:38
It's that creek water, that sludge and stuff. Yeah. But I started
25:44
growing these in two thousand and nine, in two thousand, in two thousand
25:48
and eight, all at October two thousand and then I started, you know,
25:53
twisting and twisting and twisting while I was sitting around thinking, and they
25:56
just started growing and growing and growing. But a lot of people didn't.
26:00
I mean, right now, I can literally go somewhere and somebody be like,
26:03
is that all You're here, and I'm like, yes, like every
26:06
bit of it. I don't understand how Meg can walk around with extensions in
26:11
his head first of all, and so I mean, but to each his
26:14
own, you know, But I just I would just be scared that somebody
26:18
would pull it and fall out, Like I say, NFL players all the
26:22
time. Right. I got a question here for you from the text on.
26:26
Somebody wants to know who is the one artist that you would love to
26:29
record with. That's probably a common question you give it. Who's the one
26:32
that you would love to record And I'll kind of add to that past or
26:36
present past it would be Nat King Cole, you know, Frank Sinatra,
26:41
Ele Fitzgerald, Uh, definitely, Billie Holiday, but president I mean,
26:48
and even I would say Marvin Gaye, but present presently, uh whodo,
27:02
I'd probably be Michael Blueblaye, Beyonce, Tony Bennett. What do you think
27:11
about the the whole phenomenon to Taylor Swift, because the whole country apparently has
27:18
gone crazy. I love it Taylor Swift. Think she's she's done what every
27:25
artist has attempted to do since the beginning of all of this. I mean,
27:30
the artists don't get to make the decisions. They don't get to make
27:33
all the money. She's she's she's broke through that thing to where she has
27:41
all the power, all the control. She decides where she wants to go,
27:47
how she wants to do it, what songs are being put out.
27:49
So she's basically conquering the record labels. You know, she's conquered. She's
27:56
done it all, and you got to give her her roses and her flowers.
28:00
I mean a big round of applause for that, for it. And
28:02
there's very so few artists, and so few female artists that can say that
28:07
they've done it. And I can name one off the top of my head
28:10
that has done that at totally de genre and that's Dolly party and Loretta Lyn
28:15
and Loretta Lynde did too, But Dolly Parton is one of the can I
28:18
tell you quick? Can I tell you a quick Dolly Parton story? Yes,
28:21
good friend of mine owns a limousine service here in Charleston. Dolly came
28:25
in, did a with her her Dolly reading thing that she does, you
28:29
know, and everything, and so I hope he didn't mind me telling the
28:30
story. So he picks up Dolly. This true story picks up Dolly at
28:33
the airport to for event and is driving her back to the airport and he's
28:38
talking to her, and her phone rings, and so she gets on the
28:41
phone and a friend of hers are called about a neighbor of hers passing away,
28:47
and Dolly would said, well, I'll make the fruit. I'll make
28:49
the I'll make the cake or whatever it was, and I'll bring it over
28:52
tonight. This is Dolly Parton and she's on the phone. She's on the
28:56
phone saying that when she gets home from Charlson's Virginia to Nashville, she's gonna
29:00
bake a cake or a pie or whatever it was and take it to her
29:04
neighbor's house. She didn't have people do it. She did it herself.
29:07
But that's just how she is. But that's a that's neither here, beautif're
29:12
doing an autograph signing today, I think from noon to one out of Adam's
29:17
Hallmark out of Dudley Farms. Those folks have been a big part of your
29:18
career for a long time. Yes, you go in and that's just like
29:22
a meet and greet, just let everybody see you and you know, get
29:26
up close and personal with you and take pictures, you know, just mingle
29:29
with everybody. So that's just another way of you know, keeping your feet
29:32
on the ground, your head out of the clouds, just kind of staying,
29:37
you know, feet from me on the ground. But those folks that
29:38
Adams have been a really big part of because you're they're always excellent, excellent
29:42
to you, whether it's here, they have the location in Huntings and you're
29:45
always anytime you're in town. Now you also have a Holly Forbes is going
29:48
to be I think on the show and Logan, and I'm bringing her to
29:55
Logan because a lot of people didn't get to see her because we didn't do
29:57
that showing Logan that particular year. And then I have an international act that
30:03
I can't tell anybody about, but that's going to be an amazing show.
30:07
And cam Run and Lost and WI also be there too. We got a
30:08
red carpet, a backdrop. I hired a photographer, so everybody come dressed
30:15
to impress and you can get your pictures taken and you can get all those
30:18
we see all those pictures later on. Yeah, and that's and that's the
30:21
show and Logan but again Thursday night. Now I've got up posted on my
30:25
on my social media, the poster that's got everywhere that you're going because every
30:29
year, and it's like clockwork, we'll wrap it up after this land out.
30:32
It's like it's like clockwork. Every year when that schedule comes out,
30:34
you start hearing from why why aren't you coming to Wheeling? Why are you
30:37
coming? And this is the first time you played in Charleston in a couple
30:41
of years. The truth is is that there's a lot of cities in West
30:44
Virginia and you only have twelve or fifteen dates. And I think you and
30:45
Burke and the team you do a great job of trying to get you in
30:48
as many locations in West Virginia. And what I want people in West Virginia
30:52
to understand as well is that you don't have to do this. I mean,
30:56
you could be playing Vegas and you will be after the first of the
30:59
year. You be in Florida. You spend a lot of time in Florida,
31:02
you could be overseas, but you choose to come back home to where
31:04
you still live in West Virginia to do this. That's right. I mean,
31:08
this is you know, this is home and I love you know,
31:12
the people of my state. I love my state and just being blessed with
31:18
the talent that I have, I want to share it with all of you,
31:22
know, my West Virginians. And so every holiday season I want to
31:26
be as close to home as possible. So why would I go to you
31:32
know, Las Vegas, or why would I go to California when I can
31:37
just do it here and spread all that Christmas cheer right here. And then
31:41
for the last up until the last week of December, I get to spend
31:45
time with my close relatives, friends and family in La right in La Logan
31:52
area. I told somebody one time, I Logan born, Logan dad.
31:55
When I s Logan born, Logan bred. When I die, be Logan
31:59
dead. But I wasn't born in Logan. But I mean you weren't born
32:00
in Logan either, So you wanted Detroit, right, No, okay,
32:05
but then you went to Detroit and came back. Okay, just born in
32:07
holding hospital, which is not even a thing. It's a bungalow. Now
32:12
it's a bungalow. It's a housing development. Quick text for you says,
32:15
just t mend it just for minutes. That this young man has never forgot
32:17
where he got to start. What an amazing talent and a young man.
32:21
I want to know who the young man is. Oh you knew, Yes,
32:25
you're younger than I am. That's all that matters, right, all
32:29
right? Yeah, I still get id when I'm selling out Caesar's Palace if
32:32
I put on a regular jog and suit or something and try to walk across
32:35
the casino for they come and grab me like security literally comes and hold on
32:40

Ryan Nicholson is our producer today, Angie Settle from health writer. It's
36:42
her ng Hey are you good morning? Good morning? Did I hear you
36:45
and Landau and there singing together? You don't want me to say you don't
36:50
want that. As a person that used to do a show on a station
36:54
where I used to work, you used to say they used to say they
36:57
sung in the key of L. Yeah, well it sounds like that.
37:01
Say that fast a couple of times. It'll make sense. But you thank
37:06
you for being here. I appreciate you being here. You have reached out
37:08
to me about coming on just to talk about kind of an update and thanks
37:12
some people. So just give us an overall with health Right and the West
37:15
Side situation, I'll leave it to you. You know, health Right we
37:17
try to respond to anything in the community where there's a need. And when
37:22
this thing happened with the gas outage on the West Side, Sheila Leftich,
37:27
who's our site coordinator over there and also our diversity ECU and inclusion person.
37:31
She just reached it out and said, you know, the people are really
37:35
hurting over here when they didn't have gas and oheat and they can use their
37:39
appliances and if your gas dependent. Our clinic itself was closed for several days
37:44
because we are dependent on gas heat, and so we try to just you
37:47
know, step up and say yeah, I do what you need to do
37:50
and work. I'm grateful a lot of times you don't have all that red
37:52
tape and you have to run it up the flag called we don't do that.
37:55
So we were able to start, you know, cooking daily. We
37:58
had great volunteers like Cheft Keaton come in and help cook in masks, and
38:04
I got some kind of big numbers to share with Kay. Absolutely we've done
38:07
today. As of last night, we've served three eight hundred and forty two
38:12
meals passed out, seven hundred and sixty one heaters, five hundred and sixty
38:15
two cooking appliance is, six hundred and thirty one electric blankets, one hundred
38:17
and five regular blankets, and over one hundred and fifty sox gloves and hats.
38:22
And we've been doing a meal service Monday through Friday, like five to
38:27
seven pm, where we give all what supplies we have, and then doing
38:30
on the weekends. My husband and I were there Saturday. They didn't want
38:32
me to cook. We served Little Caesars pizza, but it worked. It
38:36
worked. It was warm pizza pizza. As was said on the show when
38:39
I had the mayor, I have to when you don't have a hot meal,
38:43
I mean, you know, I mean, sandwiches will fulfill you,
38:46
but it's sometimes you want that hot meal in the situation now and I can
38:50
tell you, I mean, it's some really heartfelt stories. We had a
38:53
lady in an automated wheelchair wheel over from two blocks over, had a strapped
39:00
to the back of her wheelchair. She had on like flip flop house.
39:04
Shees no socks, it's freezing, and she wheeled herself over there and asked
39:07
us to put a portable heater in her backpack. She had a little meal
39:12
and stuff. My husband ended up walking home with her carrying her stuff to
39:15
help make sure she got home. But I mean, people, this is
39:19
desperation here and what you know, not pointing fingers at anybody. But the
39:22
reality is is even though that the gas has been restored, and a lot
39:27
of people are like, oh, the gas is restored, what's the problem.
39:30
There's so much water and stuff in the lines that are ruined. He
39:32
ruined the impliances and stuff. So even though the gases turned back one I
39:37
just had a little lady together with a bunch of kids on Saturday and she
39:39
was just telling me, you know, she's in line, she's waiting for
39:43
someone to come and inspect. But I do want to thank Governor Justice.
39:47
He was amazing. They declared a state of emergency on the fifteenth. The
39:52
very next day, he and baby dog. You know, I love baby
39:55
dog. I do love me some baby dog. I like animals. Came
40:00
over to health right. He deployed the guard and what a great group of
40:04
men and women that have been there every day. They were there with us
40:07
Saturday. Great, just great attitudes. You know, chopping carrots and potatoes
40:13
and helping and carrying out heaters and doing all that. And I have to
40:16
say, you know, I've been in contact with his office and his staff
40:21
and very very responsive, and they have put you know, you know,
40:25
they have actually put the footwork behind their word, and they've been there for
40:30
us, so been there for the West Side community. A lot of people
40:32
have stepped up as farm as volunteers and everything. But I can't say enough
40:37
good. I got to stick my head in his suburban that night and baby
40:40
dog was riding shotgun and he you know, nobody was there, Cameras weren't
40:45
there. You know. I got to talk to him there and he said,
40:46
you know, we're going to do whatever we need to do. We'll
40:49
be there for you. And they have been. So we're really excited,
40:53
you know that they've been there for us. And we have plans right now
40:55
to at least through Friday, we do it a week at a time and
40:59
just do it, you know what we can. We at least plan through
41:00
Friday to continue that meal service and then we'll reassess because there's people still in
41:06
there. We served almost two hundred meals last night, right and I think
41:08
that's what again, you brought up a very good point, very important point,
41:12
and we're talk about antie settle of health, right, is that when
41:14
you hear this, oh, the gas has been restored. Yes, you're
41:15
right, but everybody, it's this is not pre what was the date in
41:20
October the eleventh was up the date that had happened or November. I'm sorry,
41:25
okay, all right, so this is not November. First. I
41:29
mean, it's not back to normal yet. And there's so many, as
41:31
you said, appliances that have been ruined, there's so many, so many
41:36
other things. And once they turn like they get the gas restored, and
41:39
when they try to turn it back on, there was water that now blows
41:43
up into the lines and went up to the utilities. And you think you've
41:46
got little ladies that are shut in. If you think about even for the
41:50
normal person, if your appliances, you know, went defunked tomorrow and they
41:53
had to go out and buy brands or clients, is to just put,
41:57
you know, fork up that money. And these are people that are living
42:00
paycheck the paycheck, and there is a very big elderly population on the West
42:05
side too. I think sometimes people kind of forget about that. Probably want
42:08
probably one of the older areas, if not the oldest in the citlone to
42:12
encourage anybody who thinks, well, you know, you know, we need
42:15
to stop talking about this. They need to come over to health right between
42:17
five and seven more like on the weekends we were there and did twelve to
42:21
two. We did lunches and just sit there and watch and hear the stories
42:24
of people. There's lines of people in a row waiting for plumbers and different
42:30
people to come and inspect their house. There's many lines. So there's people
42:32
still without appliances, without working heat that are just waiting in line and desperation
42:38
to try to get things fixed. And what I loved, Angie, about
42:42
what I saw and what I've read and what I've heard about the situation on
42:44
the west side. A lot of these people that were volunteering also didn't have
42:49
gas, they don't have the appliances there. I mean, they looked at
42:52
their situation and this is what we do in West Virginia. They looked at
42:55
their situation and they said, Okay, well my life sucks right now because
42:59
this is going on in my house. But this lady has got it worse
43:02
than I do, because she's elderly, she's in a wheelchair. This is
43:05
a family that's got kids. Maybe I don't have kids at my house or
43:07
whatever. They just kind of said they put their problems aside and want to
43:10
help out somebody else. Yeah. I mean I can tell you multiple stories
43:14
of people. I mean, Raphael, he's a great photographer. He was
43:16
over there working Saturday with me and he was there. He's impacted by it
43:22
and over there what's just you knew, just a positive, give back kind
43:25
of attitude. And I think that's one of the things I want to thank,
43:29
you know, the governor in his office for and everything. One of
43:31
my favorite saying that sayings is is you know, West Virginia's helping West Virginias.
43:36
That's what we do best. And I think that that's been exemplified in
43:39
this And just just proud over all of our work, but really proud of
43:44
the community and people stepping up and showing you know, what it is we
43:47
do here in westerg And you said that we're going to you're going to continue
43:51
the meal service at least through the end of the week, and you're taking
43:52
it on a week by week basis. Now we're just you know, we're
43:55
free and charitable clinic. We survive off grants and donations, and we have
43:59
all the these other things going on at the same time. I don't know
44:01
if you remember, back during COVID we stepped up and started doing COVID testing
44:06
kind of on the fly, and we ended up being the number one COVID
44:07
testing Slightness state of Whisfords. Yeah, I remember it welcome free tests.
44:12
So we try to just respond, you know, as long as there's a
44:15
dollar there, if we can break even or maybe lose a little bit or
44:17
whatever, will be out there on the corner. Downd Cookies Takes, whatever
44:22
text will be will be there. Angie Settle from Health Right, quick text
44:24
for you says roll tight, Angie, oh, roll tied. That's where
44:28
I got my doctor at University of Alabama. So as a Georgia fan,
44:31
this conversation's over. We made it. We made it in the top five
44:36
though. All right, Angie, I appreciate you, appreciate to all of
44:40
the work that you folks are doing over in the West Side. Thanks for

Jenkins is here, Jeff, good morning, Good morning. As I said
47:50
at the top of the show, we just wrapped up to Super six and
47:52
Wheelie. Now no rest for the wicket is they say the sports team back
47:55
at it with high school basketball. First game on the broadcast schedule is to
48:00
It's tonight. Yeah, we do. Uh, we do about three dozen
48:04
games high school basketball games here on w c HS and and we've done that
48:07
now for several years. And uh, and we you know, there's really
48:13
good high school basketball in this valley, and we do, you know,
48:16
we look at the schedule and we we do some of the best games and
48:20
we get a lot of get a lot of the different teams on the air.
48:22
So we start tonight with what's kind of turned out to be our traditional
48:27
opener. I'm not sure what well I think because this is the this is
48:30
the night that you not not everybody opens this season tonight, right, but
48:35
always Poka and Nitro do. And so for the last probably four or five
48:39
years, you know, we've done Poka Nitro to open the season, and
48:43
we'll do that tonight. The game's at Nitro h seven o'clock tip. They'll
48:47
try to tip it at seven. It'll be right around seven, little after
48:50
seven. But we'll have that game tonight and then later in the week,
48:53
yeah, and then later in the week. The first game of the season
48:55
for South Charleston and GW is actually playing one another, so that's a big
49:00
rivalry right at the beginning of the season. Then they play a second time
49:02
actually like within a couple of weeks, so they get their two games out
49:07
of the way pretty early. So we'll have that Friday night up at GW.
49:09
So we've got a total of thirty two games right now scheduled, and
49:15
we could we could add some It just depends. I mean, we've been
49:19
really blessed with really good weather as far as getting the high school basketball schedule
49:23
in the last several years, very few postponements or anything. And so if
49:28
we do get postponements, we'll try to make the games up or slash some
49:30
other games in. But we'll have Charleston Catholic on the air, we have
49:34
Winfield on, we have Hurricane on GW Capital South Charleston. We mentioned Nitro
49:39
PoCA. So we'll be at Saint Albans. So we'll you know, we'll
49:45
do everything Canaw Valley team. You're to be honest, Hoovers are several times.
49:49
We'll be at the Hoover gym. We'll be at the Hoover's new gym
49:52
several times. So, yeah, we're looking forward to it. Let me
49:53
ask you this real quick. We'll let you go ahead. Fred on last
49:55
week and we know it's too early to tell because we haven't started, you
49:59
know, really getting into the boys basketball season. Yeah, but what kind
50:00
of an impact do you think the new transfer role? Yeah, that's going
50:05
to be really interested to see that. I know several teams have multiple transfers.
50:09
Uh and uh. I think it's going to be interesting to see because
50:14
a lot of times in high schoo high school basketball day, you've played with
50:16
each other. The majority of people play with each other. Now there's always
50:20
transfers, but the majority of people play with each other through middle school,
50:23
JV and into high school. Now, all of a sudden, you got
50:27
this influx of a lot of new players from different places. So how is
50:30
that, you know, impacted practice? How has that impacted you know,
50:35
how would that impact the game? So that'll that will definitely be I think
50:39
the teams that kind of figure that out obviously will be successful. All right,
50:44
well, Jeff will be listening tonight. Man. I appreciate it,
50:45
thanks a lot, look forward to it. And again, we got basketball
