  Speaker 3: of the Greater Kanall Valley. Good morning, Welcome to the show,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: sir may.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Thanks, it's a pleasures always. It sounds like you have
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: all the mysscreenson you're sharing this for.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Well now I'm going to say we don't have all because,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: with all due respect to I'm not going to put
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: tomorrow U Banks from multifest in there, Okay, but yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: with you and with Animal and Shockley, yeah we got
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the miscreants for sure, but not tomorrow. Okay, let's just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: make that distinction absolutely all right, So mentioned this earlier
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to your event. But I want to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: talk a little Mountaineer football with you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Eric.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: It's a new era in Morgantown, but it's also an
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: old era. How you feel it about coach.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Ron well, you know, I was friskly to work for
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: rivals dot com recruiting website during the time coach rod
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: was there, and uh, you know, from what I hear,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: there is a higher amount of personal accountability, but it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: showing up in practicing on the field. And I think,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: you know, as a lawyer, I'm very interested in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: university is doing on behalf of for very imputant players,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: which a lot of places are doing that will be
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: immediate contributors. And Rich Rodrick is that he is absolutely
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: on board with that. But if you listen to him
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: on the prins Coffer, he is very critical of some
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: of the efforts and physicality of the team, and I
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: think that's a direct contrast. There's a message from last
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: year as sure as techno then the friend wasn't drinking
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: at arth Ceast on the podium like Rich was yesterday.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You gotta love it a coach of drink and RC
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: right talking to Eric Arnold. Uh yeah, And he's called
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: out a couple of the players, actually several of them
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: as a team for being soft, and he's done that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: on more than one occasion. And about young people, these
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: young kids today, that sounds like me actually saying things
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: like that, what you take on all that? And now
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: promise we'll get to your event. What's you take on that?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Calling calling his player soft well, I.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Speaking to initial process. So he then reached the person.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: He's always available. He's always accessible to his players on
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a one on one basis, but he has a very
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: high standard and he has one that you know they
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: used to say match the mountains. Well, the mountain for
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: rich Rodriguez is beyond howksfest. It's effort. So he's kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of running the laschool hell again. But from what I hear,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: they're catching into the concepts of the hog set a
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: lot better. He likes having left the quarterbacks like Niko
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Mahrischell and Jaden Henderson, who are the top two competitors
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: for the position, and that's going to allow him to
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: open up the offense because the reads are a little different.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: So he's quietly excited. I think the problem more so
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: may be a depth issue. Wh'll figure that out quickly.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: If you all please do.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Again, We'll talk with Eric Carnoll to Dave Allen. Showing
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: five Any Live is brought to you in part by Meeks,

• 6:47
  Speaker 4: first you know, it's what privileged and orders. He's ahead
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of the wv alumni as a greater fall, but a
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: lot of times he just the sports events, which the
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: new president, Michael Benson coming in and maybe having a
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: little more backing. We're doing our first annual with the

• 7:55
  Speaker 4: the bookstore, is selling from beer on High Street, not
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: that I've ever done it. Yeah, but we're excited to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: do something a little different than a game rot and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: maybe have this to be one of our temple events.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: You know, we're involved in notting jerks fight out, some
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: other events around the valley you'll be hearing about, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: then during the fall we'll have game rotters here and there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: But it's excited to do something for the students their
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: families that isn't totally sports related. And well we'll even
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: have an event for high school seniors coming up this
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: fall that it's excited to have. We're backing from WVU,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: from the Alumni Association and Doom.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: We're with that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Eric, I like the fact that you mentioned this.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I like the fact that because when you think of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: things like this, you do think sports. And I'm a
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: sports fanatic, you're a sports fanatic. I get that, but
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes it's it's good to do things that don't necessarily
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: revolve around sports. And you're offering this up for this
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: kickoff or I mean, you know, it's gathering that you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: going to have for the parents that get students going
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: off the WV for the students themselves. So it's going
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to be a really really good time.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's a twenty dollar ticket, but if you shove
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: up between four and six and have some WV relations
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: with a family member or a dear friend, you'll be
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: able to stay there for free for the concerts. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: then also the big thing is if you bring some
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: new ads, new suits or barry some blankets, which is
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: a WV initiative, there's some stuffed animals or blankets, you'll
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: get a free free cor appetizer. So you know, we're
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: trying to do that, raise them awareness for these other things,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: but mainly have a good time. And you know Multifest
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: is a great event, gave asson bullying, the former players,
• 9:50

• 9:56

• 15:34
  Speaker 12: Thank you so much for having us.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Good to be here again. It's always pleasure to have you.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Even though you're You're wearing the WVU stuff and I'm
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: wearing the Marshall. So you're gonna have to be the
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: there's a problem here tomorrow, you're gonna have to take
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: care of it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 14: Well, I'm deciding factor I'm Marshall because I'm like, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 14: graduated from Marshall.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: You know, here's the thing people don't understand. You can
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: support both.
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: That's sorry.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Just the last segment was all about the WVU Alumni Association.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: You can support both.
• 16:00
  Speaker 14: Miss Actually I do support I graduate from Marshall, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 14: then I also work for WUS.
• 16:05
  Speaker 15: So there you go.
• 16:06
  Speaker 16: Well, you can't forget wes Virginia State University.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying West Virginia State and University of Charleston,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and oh we've got we had a lot of fine
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: institutions of higher learning, say West Virginia. All right, So
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: multi Fest is going to kick off later today, So
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: is that right? I want to start with this though,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: we'll get the I don't say controversial, but the semi controversy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: There was some concern about this thing happening overall. Mister Friist,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you want to you want to wait on that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, multifest has This is our thirty fifth
• 16:36
  Speaker 16: year and Multifests starts with a zero some budget. So
• 16:40
  Speaker 16: every year we have to start from the very beginning.
• 16:43
  Speaker 16: And this year, because some of the anti multiculturalism, anti
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: DEI rhetoric, we were very concerned that some of the
• 16:53
  Speaker 16: former sponsors were not sponsoring at the level that they
• 16:57
  Speaker 16: had before. And in addition, there was some sponsors who
• 17:00
  Speaker 16: did not participate this year. And so what we did
• 17:04
  Speaker 16: that we made a plead to the public and we
• 17:07
  Speaker 16: just really want to thank the community for coming through.
• 17:09
  Speaker 16: The community came through in terms of making up what
• 17:13
  Speaker 16: might have been a budget deficit.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, good tomorrow, you're dying to say something, Go ahead.
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: No, I'm dis agreeing with him because you know, we,
• 17:22
  Speaker 14: as he said, we it looked a little bleak at first.
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: But you know, Pastor Price and you know mentioned that
• 17:27
  Speaker 14: we did a plea to the community and without their communities,
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: without the community support financially and in kind services, we
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: wouldn't have the greatest lineup that we've ever had this year.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And you talk about the community support, and again, events
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: like this, as you will both well know, are not
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: possible without the community. And I mean the corporate sponsorship
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: is a big part of it. But nobody shows up,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter at the end of the day.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And that's just that's kind of what Charleston and the
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: surrounding areas and all the Westervininia what we do. We
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: show up when it comes to things.
• 17:58
  Speaker 16: Mitch Friesen, Well, that's what that's that's that's what this
• 18:01
  Speaker 16: festival really is all about because it came out of
• 18:03
  Speaker 16: the controversy of the lack of inclusion thirty five years ago,
• 18:07
  Speaker 16: and so over these thirty five years, Multifest has stood
• 18:10
  Speaker 16: for the for the principle that we are better together
• 18:13
  Speaker 16: than we are separated.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's I mean when you talk about how
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: it started, because you's thirty five years ago and there
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: were some folks that felt that maybe because of Regatta
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: or whatever, that they it really wasn't a lot for them.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: They weren't included, and this thing started and now we
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: got both events and Regatta's back again. So now you
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: got both of these huge summertime events and everybody's kind
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: of mingling, you know, everybody supporting everybody. That's that's what
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: this thing's all about.
• 18:37
  Speaker 16: Well, it's a win win for the Kanal Valley and
• 18:39
  Speaker 16: for the state of West Virginia because what we need
• 18:42
  Speaker 16: to do in the state is to increase our tourism.
• 18:46
  Speaker 16: And so with this being the capital city, the fact
• 18:48
  Speaker 16: that we have these things throughout the summer regatta multifests
• 18:53
  Speaker 16: of Vandelia, it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Really Summerfest is going to be next week in summer
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Charleston down.
• 18:57
  Speaker 16: And it really makes the Kanal Valleys as well.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: We should be all right, and you talked about the biggest,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the best, this is one of this is what this
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you think? This is probably the best one we've ever
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: put together.
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: Every year we say is the best, Well that's what
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: you should that's every.
• 19:11
  Speaker 14: Year because we try to bring some new things to
• 19:14
  Speaker 14: the to the festival. And I can say starting today
• 19:17
  Speaker 14: at four thirty, the first ever in thirty five years,
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: Multifest will have a multicultural parade. And so we're going
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: to start that off at four thirty and you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: then kick it off with our opening ceremony.
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: This is going to be huge, not only.

• 20:50
  Speaker 14: out and then that the final finale would be a
• 20:53
  Speaker 14: great fireworks show that we're going to have. But we
• 20:56
  Speaker 14: also want to give great thanks to Arts Amplified, who
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: the local grant source here, who allowed who, who's sponsoring
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: some of our local artists, and so we want to
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: give a big shout out to them for stepping up.
• 21:10
  Speaker 14: As you said, you know, the community really came through,
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: and this is one that stepped up to say that
• 21:14
  Speaker 14: they wanted to support us and support our local artists.
• 21:17
  Speaker 14: So we want to thank them as well.
• 21:20
  Speaker 16: Anytime you have something new, though, you know, it's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 16: it's a new traffic that we have, and so we
• 21:27
  Speaker 16: really want to stress Thursday. We really want to stress
• 21:30
  Speaker 16: this afternoon in terms of that parade, and then the
• 21:34
  Speaker 16: Native American dancers because this is something we've really never
• 21:37
  Speaker 16: done before, and we would really like for the community
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: to come out see these young kids walking in the parade,
• 21:43
  Speaker 16: but also to see these Native American dancers that I
• 21:45
  Speaker 16: think will bring a we'll bring a true multiculturalism to
• 21:49
  Speaker 16: the to the to the event.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about the parade because you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: that's around the time that people are starting to get
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: off work in Charleston and things of that nature. So
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: anything they should know as far as like what time
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: is the line up and what's it going to affect
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: traffic wise, you know any Sure the City of Charleston's
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: got information out about that, but you guys want to
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: touch on that from one.
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just quickly, it's not going to affect the traffic
• 22:09
  Speaker 14: because we're already blocked off on Virginia Street between Virginia
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: and the Boulevard. We're going to line up on Court Street,
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: and so that's already part of multifest layout. So we're
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: gonna line up there at four o'clock and then step
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: off at four point thirty. We're gonna make a left
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: on the Canar Boulevard, go right through the entire festival,
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: and then end up down at the showing bomb stage
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: on the.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: River, and anytime we talk about these summertime events, everybody
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: automatically goes to the music and the food. Those are
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: always big parts of it, but there's a lot more
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: going on there than just music and food. Talk about
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: some of the other things.
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, we are in the process even now, loading in
• 22:47
  Speaker 14: over fifty vendors from arts and craft to different ethnic
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: food industry, to information, and then we're also going to
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: have a very very large kid zone. Kid Zone is
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: going to have bump of cars, all kind of inflatables,
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: a dunking tank, games, just all sorts of things for
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: our kids, and that's going to be the entire weekend
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: starting today. We're also partnered with Attorney Frank Walker, so
• 23:15
  Speaker 14: today we're going to be giving out backpacks on his
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: behalf and we appreciate his support on that to all
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: the students that are getting ready to go back to school.
• 23:24
  Speaker 14: So again, you know, the whole weekend is going to
• 23:26
  Speaker 14: be fun for everyone, exciting for everyone, So we want
• 23:29
  Speaker 14: to make sure that you do come out. Starting today,
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: As he said, the parade is going to kick it off,
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: and that's something you don't want to miss.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Why is it important, mister Fischen. I'll go to you
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: on this. Why is it important that young people being
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: involved in this?
• 23:41
  Speaker 16: Well, not only because young people are our future, but
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: also we want to keep young people in the state.
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: And one of the things that we've had is a
• 23:49
  Speaker 16: lot of out my migration because people say that there's
• 23:52
  Speaker 16: not enough to do for young people. And so when
• 23:55
  Speaker 16: you have something like Multifest that is really for the
• 23:58
  Speaker 16: across the specter generational, I think it's important for it
• 24:01
  Speaker 16: for everyone to come out and then when young people
• 24:04
  Speaker 16: do things, for older people to come out and support them.
• 24:07
  Speaker 16: And so that's one of the reasons that we added this,
• 24:10
  Speaker 16: uh this this parade because we want young people intimately
• 24:15
  Speaker 16: involved with Multifest.
• 24:16
  Speaker 14: If I can add is you know, one of the
• 24:19
  Speaker 14: things I always say is that first of all the
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: events and that concerts are free and open to the public,
• 24:25
  Speaker 14: and so you come and experience things that you may
• 24:28
  Speaker 14: not experience because you may not have the financial needs.
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: But Multifest is free and open to the public.
• 24:34
  Speaker 14: You're gonna get top national artists, regional artists free that
• 24:38
  Speaker 14: you can just come and enjoy yourself.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a big part of it right there too.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I mean, you're gonna pay if
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: one of these acts comes to you know, I'll say
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the coliseum or the Clay Center or whatever, you're gonna
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: with all the respect to them, you're gonna pay big Box. Absolutely,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: So this is absolutely this is absolutely free. And talk
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: about the importance, guys of it's called Multifest for a reason.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Talk about the importance of everybody attending this.
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: Thing well, And that's one of the things that we
• 25:05
  Speaker 16: really want to stress because Multifest is not just for
• 25:08
  Speaker 16: one group. It really is. This idea of multiculturalism means
• 25:12
  Speaker 16: that everyone is involved, and so we try to pick acts.
• 25:16
  Speaker 16: For instance, this year, in terms of our local acts,
• 25:19
  Speaker 16: we have Stratus that people know, but we also have
• 25:21
  Speaker 16: the Esquires, and the Esquires goes back into the sit
• 25:24
  Speaker 16: in the nineteen sixties in terms of providing entertainment. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 16: we very strategically try to make sure that there is
• 25:33
  Speaker 16: something for everyone. And as you said, multiculturalism, multicultural festival,
• 25:38
  Speaker 16: Multifest means that we want everyone to come and be involved.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: And I think you know, again, I'm not trying to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: turn this into a political thing. I'm always open for that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I'm very well aware, sir. By the way, last time
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: you were on the show, I gave you an invite.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I said, you need to come on the show more often,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and you've failed to do that. And you know, we
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: have the afternoon show now that from noon to three
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: with Amanda Baron and myself. You always look them there
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: as well too.
• 26:05
  Speaker 16: For the past seventeen months up until the end of May,
• 26:08
  Speaker 16: I've been in Connecticut doing this and has nothing to
• 26:11
  Speaker 16: do with me doing an interim vice presidency. At point
• 26:14
  Speaker 16: of p did you I didn't know if you re so.
• 26:18
  Speaker 16: I never get in fights with the media until I'm
• 26:21
  Speaker 16: actually doing the show and.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Then afterwards afterwards. And you know how much I love
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: the term the media because people, you know, so they
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: they think when they say the media, that there's some
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: big building downtown it's called the media, that we all
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: we all get together. But as I said as we
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: started the segment, there they're seems there, they're like it,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: you know, right or wrong whatever, there seemed to be
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: within the within the current landscape that we we have
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: closed our minds a little bit in my opinion, And
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I'm somebody that I'm somebody that leans conservative, but I
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: can recognize a problem when I see one, and it says,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and it seems to me that we have kind of
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: shut the door on some of these things, and I
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: think that's unfortunate.
• 27:03
  Speaker 16: Well, it's interesting because in the sixties, when we were
• 27:06
  Speaker 16: really stratified, it was the music of young people that
• 27:10
  Speaker 16: brought this country together. And so we think a multicultural
• 27:14
  Speaker 16: event will be something that's beyond politics, and so you
• 27:18
  Speaker 16: can meet people where they are, and I think that
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: will help us, especially as stratified as we are right now.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I can go back and you and I could sit
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: and talk music forever, because you know, there was a
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: time in this country where if you know, white people
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: listen to this and black people, Well, when Motown came out,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: it changed all that. It changed all that. And even
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: though I'm not necessarily a disco fan, disco just I
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: mean blew it all to pieces because she had a
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: group that like just played at regotted Casey in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Sunshine Band, where you had black, you had white, you
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: had Latino, and it was all about the music. Nobody
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: really cared what color of your skin was.
• 27:54
  Speaker 14: It was about the music, right and ifact just you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: we talked about multi culture.
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: We we are going to.
• 28:00
  Speaker 14: Have a Southern soul recording artists with us on Saturday.
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: He is a Caucasian guy, but he sings Southern soul
• 28:08
  Speaker 14: and you're going to be amazed at the music that
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: he brings to us. So it's for everyone. When we
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: say multicultural, we're looking to have various cultures there and
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: when they're invited to come. And again, I cannot stress
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: enough it's open and free to the public.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: All right, before we close, let's run down the schedule again.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and start with the parade.
• 28:29
  Speaker 14: Today Thursday, August seventh, kicks off our parade at four
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: thirty and then our opening ceremony at five. Then we
• 28:36

  Speaker 14: well as the Unit Band and then Junkyard Band. Tonight
• 28:43
  Speaker 14: tomorrow we'll be starting with our local band. It's our

  Speaker 3: Of course it is. You know, at that night, I
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: didn't get any animal al Oh well, I mean because
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: you know, there was a lounge long line, and I
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: figure that you would take care of me on that

• 36:57
  Speaker 3: and I didn't want to take it away from our

  Speaker 3: from the way line, and so I left there with

  Speaker 3: not having any animal and I still haven't had any animals.
• 37:05
  Speaker 18: You will when it's back.
• 37:06

• 37:11
  Speaker 18: I like bud Light, Miller Lite, Quartz Light. However, I
• 37:14
  Speaker 18: also like Sam Adams, I like fat tires, so they're
• 37:19
  Speaker 18: a little bit heavier but not much, but like, is
• 37:21
  Speaker 18: there a way to blend the two and get kind
• 37:23
  Speaker 18: of a neat flavor from that? And they hit it
• 37:27
  Speaker 18: on the head, so to the guys at five Street
• 37:30

  Speaker 3: get your name wrong every time you call?
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: I don't know, all right, yeah, yes, First of all,
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: it's very I'm kind to that gentleman animal. He's Steve
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: zz And there's another mistake you've made in a couple
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: of times in the past month. You're not alone, and
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: it's not just you media guys. It's all over the society.
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: Everybody's making the same mistake. You're identifying AI as artificial
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: intelligence when in reality it's automatic idiot. I know because
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: I just spent forty minutes largually none of it was
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: waittime with a major bank on the phone going through
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: their system to find out how to credit my credit
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: card with the bonus points forty almost forty five minutes. Now,
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: if that's not an automatic idiot in slow motion?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: What is they tell us though, Tommy that it's the
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: future AI. I mean, it's taken over everything. I'm gonna
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna just go ahead and go out on a
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: limb here and say you're not a fan.
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna. I'm gonna just say what I said to
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: the phone on occasion just a few minutes ago, but
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: every once in a while and over for the past
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: several years, human being, and see if that does me
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: any good. It doesn't tell me any good. And I
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: feel bad for the young people, because you know, I
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: don't have that much longer. They got to put up
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: with it for decades into the future.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: All right, Hey, Tommy, apologize for getting your name wrong.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: But I appreciate the phone call. AI does not say
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: for artificial intelligence, as you said, I appreciate you being here.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Thanks a lot. We'll talk to sick. It is nine
• 42:52

  Speaker 3: I must went up to one hundred thousand dollars and
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: the folks at Trojan Landing just drove off the road. No,

• 47:27
  Speaker 3: And again, I know that there were critics from day
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: one about the vision for the Shawnee Sports Complex. You
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: can't argue with the results though. I mean literally millions
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: of dollars have come in because of that. And I
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: think for people, again, I keep beating this proverbial dead horse,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: for people that don't think that travel sports is a
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: huge industry and that people aren't coming to Charleston, West
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Virginia and the surrounding area. Throw Barbersville in there too.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: As Commissioner Selango to yesterday, during one tournament, there were
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: no hotels available in a sixty mile radius of Charleston.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Now think about that for a moment, within sixty miles
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: of the Shawnee Sports Complex. There were no hotels available,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: all because of events that were going on. I think
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: this was a combo event that was going on with
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Charleston or with Shawnee should say, and the folks in Barbersville.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: No hotels for a sixty mile radius. So tell me
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: again why we don't need Hit me with that one
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: more time. We don't need another hotel in Charleston. Hit
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: me with that again. No hotels within a sixty mile radius.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: We desperately need a couple more hotels, not only in Charleston,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: but over in the surrounding areas. I mean, I live
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: in Tays Valley. We've got a few over there. We
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: need more. We need somebody to open up a hotel.

• 49:51
  Speaker 3: in the and Pub. Yeah yeah, Well that's that's a given,
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: all right. Uh So uh, I mean you have to understand,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, TJ. You're a numbers guy more than I am.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: I mean people that says nobody's going to come to
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Charleston to stay. Really, I mean, have you driven by
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: the Shawnee Sports Combat And I'll tell you this story
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: real quick. My wife reminded me I needed to tell
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: this story. This past weekend, she and I went up
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: to Easton the Columbus area of Ohio, and we're driving
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: in town. I don't know exactly where we were. I
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: just when we go somewhere, she just says, turn left,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: turn right, you know, I just you know, listen to her.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: So I don't know where we were. But we were
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: in Ohio, somewhere near Columbus, and we drove by one
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: of these multi field facilities. There had to be a
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: thousand people out there with all these different games, because
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: it just seemed like we just kept driving and Okay,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: there's another game. There's another game. There's another on down
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: the line. And I said yesterday on the show back,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: you know, in my younger days, a sporting event, a
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: road game was on the other end of the county. Yeah, no,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Now a road game is in Detroit or something. Look,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I think there's a need. You want to know why
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: somebody wouldn't open a hotel. Well, I'll tell you the
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: hassle factor.
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, something like like a Holiday Inn or a
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: Hampton in or something. A lot of those are franchises,
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: and so you've got somebody that's got to put their
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: capital to work. And if you take a look at
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: what they can get just sticking it in the market,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: averaging eleven percent with no hassle of finding employees, running
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: a business, taking care of all of that.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the biggest deal. Do I think there's
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: a need here?
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think that there's easier ways to make
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: a buck than being in the hotel business. But I
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: would not argue that there's a need. I mean, like
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: you said, I'd drive by Shawnee all the time. You
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: drive by there on a Sunday morning on your way
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: to church on sixty four. I mean, I cannot fathom
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: where all those people come from. It's amazing come from
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: and they come, they come from all over. And anybody
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: that says that was a bad idea to pull that
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: golf course out and look, I love to golf, you
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: know that. Kudos to Selango on that one, brother, I
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: mean he got it right, right right indeed.

• 52:18
  Speaker 3: development from what I understand, I mean Poka Valley Bank
