2:38
Waight. Let me welcome in now Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charles Dumain Association
2:40
with this week's Adopt Me please head of the Wake. Hannah, good morning,
2:45
welcome to the show. Hi, how are you? I am doing
2:49
fine? I know it has been a rough couple of days for everybody up
2:53
there at the shelter. We had to anchie from the shelter on yesterday.
2:55
Of course, it was Wednesday that we learned about the U haul accident up
3:00
there. I know you had actually take it a couple of days off or
3:01
some some some medical things for a loved one. But I know that you
3:07
know everything that's been going on up there. It's just been a rough couple
3:09
of days up there at the shelter. Hannah, Yeah, it sure has,
3:14
but you know, we're trucking along. We're figuring it out. So
3:19
when I talked to Angie yesterday, she said that they were doing pretty good
3:23
on the fosters. Do you have an update on that as far as getting
3:25
those animals fostered out. I know when I left yesterday, I believe we
3:30
had like, and I'm not one hundred and sure, but I believe it
3:34
was around twelve to fourteen that still need a foster, you know, because
3:38
everything is still up in the air, we're not really sure what's going on,
3:42
So we're just trying to be prepared and get as many we're all out
3:45
as we can in foster homes. But yes, we are definitely trying to
3:51
get all the animals in foster homes, but we don't have too many.
3:54
So if you want to come up and see what we do have, I
3:57
recommend just coming right on up and we can tell what all we have and
4:00
what would sit your lifestyle, and you can just explain to us what you
4:02
have at Hold. Yeah, you guys have done a great job of updating
4:05
the community and people that are concerned about this situation on your social media,
4:09
But right now everybody's running around like crazy if they're trying to get fosters and
4:13
whatever, So maybe don't depend on the social media right now. Just show
4:15
up in person. Is that what you're saying, Yes, because everything's changing
4:18
so fast, and we actually have had a lot of people up there lately,
4:21
so if you're looking for a specific dog on a website, by the
4:26
time you get up there, it may already be fostered. So just come
4:28
on us and come up and a big shout out to the folks at Todd
4:31
Judy. I understand that they're helping and out by covering some of the some
4:35
of the fees while this tragic situation is unfolding up here. So I know
4:40
they're big animal lovers Todd and Becky and and I want to give a big
4:43
shout out to them as well, because they've really stepped up to a lot
4:45
of businesses have. But those folks at Todd Judy are always awesome to deal
4:49
with when it comes to animal situations. So I want to give a big
4:51
shout out to Becky and Todd and the folks that are at Todd Judy.
4:56
Yeah, we're very very thankful for that. We were supposed to have an
4:58
event with them, I believe next weekend, but they went ahead and moved
5:00
it on up to everything going on. Okay, all right, and again,
5:04
if you're interested in helping out with these animals, uh, just just
5:08
show up the shelter because they're not really a positioned to be able to answer
5:11
phones right now or to update the social media. Everybody's just trying to get
5:15
everything squared away. To just show up up there. But we do have
5:17
as always, business must go on, the show must continue, and that
5:20
is our DoPT me please pat of the week and the story this morning,
5:24
we have the story of Opie. Opie is three years old. Female.
5:29
Take it from there. Tell us about Opie. All right, So Opie,
5:32
I am actually correct or I mean incorrect. Opie is a male,
5:38
not well, I wondered about the name when you sent me the text.
5:40
I thought, well, generally, you know, because I think obviously people,
5:43
you know, we think Opie of Andy Griffith, who was indeed a
5:46
guy, a dude. So I wondered about that. So yeah, Opie
5:49
is a male, not a female, but go ahead, yeah male.
5:54
He's around three years old. He is my for chips. He has vaccinated.
5:59
He did come into us as a straight so we don't really know much
6:01
about his background, but we can tell you everything we've learned thus far.
6:05
He has showed to be pretty good with calmer dogs. He seems to be
6:11
cat friendly, and from what we've heard from going to other fosters, I
6:16
believe he was in but he's a social butterfly to people. He definitely loved
6:23
going on walks and stuff like that. But he does pool a little bit,
6:25
so just make sure that you're training him or working with him and just
6:30
being patient on that. But of course we do say that he is kid
6:33
friendly from what we've seen in our care. We always advised caution, as
6:39
I always like to say, you know, you have to teach the dog
6:41
to respect you, just as much as you teach the kids to respect the
6:44
dogs, you know. So other than that, he's very very good in
6:48
the playgroup, like I said, just the Cammer dogs. He's around thirty
6:53
eight to forty pounds. I know we weighed him a while ago, so
6:57
it was thirty He could have gained weight. But other than that, he's
7:00
very very good. He's a good boy. He loves love of pets and
7:04
attention. So if anybody is interested in fostering or even adopting or foster to
7:10
adopts, we definitely love that. Fostering gives you that chance to not have
7:15
that full commitment yet and get to know them and see how maybe they are
7:18
with your dogs or tests or whatever it may be at home, and then
7:21
you can kind of decide whether you not want to adopt or not. It's
7:25
kind of like a test drive, yeah, for both of you, for
7:29
the animal and the family. Sometimes it's both right, yes, yes,
7:32
animal made like this is. I don't want to be around these crazy people.
7:34
Please take me back, but again, Opie's picture is always posted on
7:39
my social media, on the Twitter, slash x page and also on Dave
7:43
Allen Radio. So if you'd like to go check it out and see Opie's
7:46
picture. Ope's beautiful dog. Any idea what kind of dog Opie is?
7:51
I'm not one hundred scent sure, but he really looks like he's got some
7:55
of course, maybe some pity in there, maybe some staffy in there,
7:59
maybe some just some. He seems like you've got like some good bit of
8:03
pretty staffy or something like that. He's very pretty good. I love the
8:07
brindle dog. Yeah, yeah, the brindles are very popular. This to
8:09
be a great dog for a family. As you said, Opie ish could
8:13
use a little extra lease training just but not a heck of a lot.
8:16
It seems to be kid friendly and does like Calber Dogs. Got a text
8:20
here for you, and I was going to ask you what you needed other
8:22
than just fostering, and I have a texture for you, and it says,
8:26
does the shelter need volunteers to help with clean up this weekend? Or
8:28
need donations of cleaning products in addition to food and leashes for the fosters?
8:33
Also, do you need cat items with it coming up on kitten and puppy
8:37
season? So let's start with ge. Do you actually need any physical bodies
8:41
on site to help with clean up this weekend, So that's what we were
8:46
trying to kind of figure out yesterday. I know that, you know,
8:48
volunteers don't hurt. Of course, we will always welcome in the help we're
8:52
cleaning. We were deep cleaning a lot yesterday. I don't think we had
8:56
any puppies in the puppy room, so they did a big old clean yesterday.
9:01
We've been been cleaning pretty much since it all happened, and since we've
9:05
been getting a lot of the animals out. So we of course with maybe
9:07
wouldn't mind like a few people to come up and volunteer, but I think
9:13
the larger groups and stuff will definitely have to hold off on for a little
9:15
bit, just until we know exactly what's going on. But I have reached
9:20
out to any of those people that have wanted to come volunteer and let them
9:22
know as well. And my email is on the website, I believe,
9:28
or my phone number and you can just contact me and let that all right.
9:31
And again, sometimes people want to help, and we certainly do encourage
9:35
that, but sometimes you get too many people that can kind of get in
9:37
the way sometimes too, you know, so we kind of want to keep
9:41
the numbers down, but we do appreciate that person asking. Also, they
9:43
were asking about cleaning products, and I'll go ahead, and that was gonna
9:46
be my next question anyway, what other than fostering, which I know not
9:50
everybody's in a position to be able to foster, what can people do to
9:54
help? Donations? I know, I mean, can you what do you
9:56
got? Yeah, we're still we're welcoming all the donations. We do send
10:03
stuff out with the fosters, especially you know, the ones that don't really
10:05
plan on adopting or anything. Maybe they don't have any other animals, they
10:09
don't have any food or anything at home. So we did give some of
10:11
our products out to the fosters. We give them blankets, we give them
10:16
beds if they need it, just so that way the dog feels a little
10:18
bit more at home. So we of course will accept all the donations.
10:22
I mean, eventually we're gonna be up and run and I'm sure so we'll
10:26
definitely take in everything. Still, Yeah, and I want to ask you
10:31
too about the outpoint of support from the community. I mean, this thing
10:33
first happened I think on Wednesday, I first learned of it, and it's
10:39
been amazing. I think just you know, the people that have come out,
10:41
the people that have We had an interview Carrie from a news team was
10:46
up there yesterday and talked to some people that were up there adopting a dog
10:50
that they had wanted one, and I guess when this story happened, they
10:54
just said, well, now that's a sign, now's the time to get
10:56
up there. But not just in from individuals, but the bigin's communities.
11:00
Well, people have really come together, Hannah to try to help out.
11:03
Yes, yes, a lot of businesses have even said that you know,
11:09
some of the proceeds will go straight to KJA. Some of them are given
11:13
like discount. So I believe there's like a Westerrginia restaurants page out there that
11:20
somebody posted, like list all of the restaurants under this post. So if
11:24
you go look on Facebook, there's a lot of businesses, places, stores,
11:28
I mean, there's everywhere that's helping out. We saw a lot of
11:31
people donating, bringing up money donations. I mean, it's just crazy how
11:35
much we're getting all the love and pictures that we feel like we have never
11:41
even asked for. We just love it. We're so thankful for it.
11:43
It's what we do in West Virginia. Hannah, you're from here, you
11:46
know that is what we do. Oh yeah, West Virginia, which hard
11:50
times like this, West Virginia will come together. Yeah, for sure,
11:52
absolutely. And I know you got a busy couple of day, well probably
11:56
a couple of weeks, so try to get things back to normal, you
11:58
and Ang and everybody up there. So we'll to go ahead and let you
12:01
go. I appreciate it. Good luck with everything. We'll talk to you
12:03
again next week and hopefully we'll be in a better place next week. Thanks
12:07
a lot, thank you. And a gardner again from the Connel Charlest New
12:11
Main Association and again our pet this week is Opie Opi, a three year
12:15
old male Prefers Calmer dogs. Seems to be kid friendly, could use a
12:18
little extra at least training, very very playful dog to brindle. If you'd
12:22
like to brindle dogs, A lot of people do. You may want to
12:26
go check out the picture. I've got Opie's picture posted on Dave Alan Radio
12:30
and Facebook and the Dave Alan Show on x About forty pounds or so.
12:33
Maybe a little bit of pet in there, but just a great, great
12:37
dog would be a great family pet, so go check out Opie. And
12:39
if you want to help out again again, what Hannah was telling us,
12:43
the best thing to do is not to try to call or try to reach
12:46
them via social media or email right now because they're all busy, they're all
12:50
cleaning, they're all doing. Just show up up there. They may be
12:54
able to put you to work, they may not. Again, you can't
12:56
also deal with insurance situations up there too, So if you've and I know
13:01
a lot of a lot of people are a lot of kids are out of
13:03
school. Kennaw County was on spring break this week. I know Putnam County
13:07
where I live, is going to be next week. A lot of people
13:09
are off work today. I know it's good Friday, it's considered part of
13:11
the Easter holiday, but they could probably use the help. So just head
13:16
on up there. If you can help them out, I'm sure they would
13:18
appreciate it. And again, if you want to see Opie, are not
13:20
me pleased put of the week, head on over to my social media Dave
13:24

16:30
happening tomorrow at Ladleyfield. We're gonna spend some time talking to Aaron Wood and
16:33
some other folks about that coming up a little bit later. I'm gonna want
16:34
to welcome into the show doctor Casey Sachelbridge Valley. Oh, good doctor,
16:38
good morning. How are you earning, Dave? I'm great? How are
16:41
you today? I'm finding I know you're an animal person. Did you happen
16:44
to see the the dog we posted this morning? Opie open? No,
16:48
I have to check out out your home needs. Opie. Oh golly,
16:52
you know we just lost one of our dolls. I do, I do,
16:55
and I should not have said that. I apologize for that. You
16:57
know. I think it's one of those things you need a little little bit
17:00
of time to grieve and then you're probably right, we'll end up with another
17:03
one. We just love them too much. Yeah, it's I mean,
17:07
that's the thing about it when you when you lose a pat and I don't
17:08
want to make you tear up or anything like that, but when you lose
17:11
a pet, people will say, sometimes we'll just go get another one.
17:14
Well it's not. It's not that easy, and you don't. I mean,
17:18
everybody's got to do it on their own time. There are people that
17:21
will go down like right away and get one, and there's people that say,
17:25
I'm not ready for that. It's just like losing a person. I
17:29
mean, you know, it's like your spouse passes. You don't necessarily run
17:33
out and and and good. Well you can't buy people. It's illegal,
17:37
I think. Uh, but but you don't run right out, and some
17:40
people do. So it's it's uh, it's whatever. Thank you for coming
17:42
to the Oprah Show this morning. Uh, it's good to be here with
17:47
you. Don't ever call me up. Don't ever ever call me Oprah.
17:49
All right, So, happy good Friday, that happy Easter, all the
17:53
stuff. Yeah, all right, so you had a big gala. I
17:56
understand last night talk about the big gala. It was terrific. We had
17:59
a sold out crowd. More Capital came in to be r MC. He
18:03
did a wonderful job. What were you gaala ing? I was the ten
18:07
year anniversary of Bridge Valley's founding. It was our Founder's Day gala and gosh,
18:11
we really had a nice time. People looked wonderful. We had a
18:15
few tuxedos in the room. We got to honor doctor Joe Harris, who
18:18
was our founding president. She came in and had a host to a founder's
18:22
table. That was wonderful. Charlie Beers from Blackhawk was one of our keynote
18:26
speakers, as was doctor Lewis Perkins from WU Medicine. So they both talked
18:30
about really different partnerships they have with the college and why they're so excited about
18:34
helping our students. I graduated with somebody named Lewis Perkins. Really it's not
18:40
the same one. I don't think it's the same one. When you said
18:41
that, I was like, wait, I know that person. But overall,
18:44
a great night to celebrate a great things. It was wonderful. Everybody
18:48
really turned out. It was a very fun event. If you missed it,
18:52
this year. Put it on your calendar for next year in March.
18:53
All right, very good. So what else? What's new? Bridge Valley?
18:56
I mean, I try to keep up with your social media and I
18:59
share every thing. Since you guys are you know, a sponsor of the
19:02
show. I try to share all your stuff, and it's like a full

time job sharing everything that you got going on. I know on Mondays you
19:07
do this like Meet the Major's Monday or something. You called it like that,
19:11
and you had for if you're doing something. I saw this week for
19:15
Linesman you were having like an orientation or informational session. I guess if you
19:21
will on that. So there's always something wrong there is. We always have
19:23
something going on. We've started registration for fall semester already, if you can
19:27
believe it. So we've really tried to start helping people get thinking about,
19:33
gosh, if I'm going to change careers, if I'm going to do something
19:36
else, what might I do? So that's part of the drive behind those
19:38
Meet the Major events. If you're thinking maybe the Lineman program is a really
19:44
good fit for you, we want to make sure that you know all about
19:47
it so that you can have some time to sort of let that settle before
19:51
you decide to pull the trigger, if you will. So you're right,
19:56
that is going on. It's just sort of one of those never ending it
20:00
and we're really ramping up. By the end of the year, we'll have
20:03
our first high school graduation. We have the Win Academy at Bridge Valley.
20:07
Now you talked about that before, but for people that didn't hear, go
20:10
back and talk about the Win Accademy. Oh. So, the Win Academy
20:11
is a public charter school hosted at Bridge Valley where students who are in high
20:15
school can actually earn their nursing degree or work on courses in their nursing degree
20:21
while they're in high school. So we'll have eight students who graduate from high
20:23
school here this May, and they have various college plans when they move on,
20:30
and many of them plan on finishing up their nursing degrees with us.
20:33
So we'll have a handful of nineteen year old nurses. And we desperately need
20:38
well, we need, despitely need workers of all kinds in Westerndia, but
20:41
we desperately need healthcare workers right now, do we do? And we're actually
20:45
opening it up in the fall to students who are interested in advanced manufacturing technology.
20:51
At the request of our manufacturing partners, the group from Toyota said,
20:55
it's great that you're doing this in nursing, but can you do it for
20:56
us? And so we're letting students sign up now for other things too.
21:00
And I love it because I talk about this every time that you're here,
21:03
and again we're talking with doctor Casey Saxsonbridge Valley. Every time you're here.
21:07
I talk about that. What I love the fact that you are working so
21:11
closely with the Toyotas and with the other other businesses here in the valley to
21:15
listen to them and not the other way around as it was for so many
21:19
years. You're saying, Okay, Toyota, Okay, New Core, okay,
21:23
whomever, what do you need? What do you need? That's right?
21:26
I mean when we talk about nursing, that's really part of why we've
21:30
done so much around the nursing profession is that both CAMC and WU Medicine have
21:36
been wonderful partners for us. We couldn't produce as many nurses as we do
21:40
without them, and they need them. These are all students who largely want
21:44
to work in our community and want to stay here in the community. And
21:47
it's really a great partnership all around. Indeed, it is doctor Casey sax
21:51
Is here to Dave Allen showing five any Live Bright to you a part by
21:53
Hustin's Pizza Get an eighteen inch Pepperoni pizza and pizza bowl only twenty two ninety
21:57
nine. Find your nearest Hussans at Husson's Pizza dot com for delivery, pickup
22:02
or for diyne and talk about that getting people to stay here in West Virginia.
22:06
I know that's not the role necessarily of an institution of higher learning,
22:11
but but we need, we need to get our young people to stay here.
22:14
And so many of these programs do kind of foster that idea of Okay,
22:21
we're going to learn you something. I love saying things like that,
22:23
we're going to learn you something, but we need you to agree or at
22:26
least to try to stay here in West Virginia. So at Bridge Valley,
22:30
we actually do feel like that's part of our role and mission that eight out
22:34
of ten students who graduate with us work right here in the valley, and
22:37
the other two out of ten usually stay in West Virginia. They just don't
22:41
necessarily stay in the valley. We're really proud of that. We love the
22:47
fact that we bring people in who want to live here and work in this
22:49
region. And then that's part of why our partnerships with local employers are so
22:55
important, because if we educate you for something and there's no job here for
22:59
it, what good is it? Right? I mean, if we stood
23:02
up a bounty hunter program, there's no business in town that hires bounty hunters.
23:07
Not as far as you know, that's true, Not as far as
23:08
I know, I think you would actually have to move to Chicago, Okay
23:11
for somewhere else. And so don't we don't have those programs. We on
23:17
purpose stand up programs that serve employers in our region, and that really helps
23:22
give people a pathway to be able to stay here. And I think that's
23:25
definitely part of it, that it's a partnership that it's not just the college
23:29
standing up something that we're interested in, but it's the college standing up something
23:32
that serves the training and economic development needs for the region. And we spent
23:36
a lot of time talking about our younger people because that's the focus. That's
23:38
who you think of as traditionally going to some institution of hire Learning. But
23:42
it's not necessarily just younger people here, that's for sure true. Our average
23:48
age is thirty up at Bridge Valley. That we have many people who have
23:52
done something else since high school for almost a decade and they're finally ready.
23:56
That these are adults who have a kid and who have another job and have
24:02
real adult responsibilities, and they're thinking about how to change their lives, and
24:06
that they're really sick of working in retail or they're really sick of working in
24:10
fast food and they want to do something different and better for their families.
24:14
Off the top of your head, now, no, this is going to
24:15
be a very real loaded question. And all the information anything we talk about
24:18
available on the website, which we'll get to you a little bit later on,
24:21
but just give me. And we talked about linemen, we talked about
24:25
nursing. Give me some more of the programs that are offered up there,
24:26
and I know you can't list them all, but I mean just some of
24:30
the ones you'd like to highlight. So Advance Manufacturing Technology is one of my
24:33
favorites. Students who graduate with that AMT degree make more than any other degree
24:37
program at the college. Our average wage for graduates last year was ninety thousand
24:41
dollars, so that's starting out right, starting out, starting out at ninety
24:45
thousand dollars. It's an amazing program. Okay, So that one stands out.
24:49
Engineering tech, mechanical engineering tech, electrical engineering tech. Those all are
24:56
lead to terrific jobs. Sonography is a wonderful job. So cardiac scenographers or
25:02
diagnostic medical sonographers take pictures of babies in the womb, or scan your neck
25:07
to figure out if you have blood clots or other kinds of problems. Those
25:11
are popular programs. The dental hygiene program is really popular. We always have
25:15
a waiting list for that one. Gosh, really medical it. The cybersecurity
25:21
program is phenomenal. That one's always really full. I hear a lot about
25:26
a lot of good things about all the programs, but especially the cybersecurity program.
25:29
Thank you. Yes, it's a great one. Accounting actually is one
25:33
that we really can't make enough accountants right now, oddly, and so that's
25:37
been a very popular one with a variety of businesses. You know, you
25:41
think about manufacturing or healthcare, and you're probably going to work for a manufacturer
25:45
or a healthcare facility. But Moses Automotive needs an accountant. And so that's
25:49
been a really good another really good program that leads to good jobs in the
25:55
area. And talk about the percentage of time, and I know it varies
25:59
doctor from pro to program, but how much are we talking about that that's
26:02
actually going to be in person online hybrid. I know, again, I
26:06
know very much depends on the program because a lot of its hands on stuff,
26:11
but I will yet let me phrase it this way. There is well
26:15
most of these program there I would imagine there is at least some availability to
26:21
do things online. We do. We try and have a lot of flexibility.
26:25
All of our instructors learned a lot during COVID. It was one of
26:29
the best things that came out of COVID was that people came up with ways
26:32
to have more flexibility in classrooms. So we have what we call hybrid environments
26:37
where there's some piece of it that can be online and then some piece of
26:40
it that's face to face. We still haven't really cracked that nut in things
26:44
like diesel mechanic or welding that it's there are things that I can show you
26:51
in welding, and there's a lot of safety training that kind of stuff that
26:52
can happen online. But at the end of the day, I need you
26:56
to tig weld. You can do it. Community to do it a bunch
27:00
in front of me. You've got to show me that you can do this,
27:02
not just out of it, but before we let you go. Everyone
27:04
across the country seems to have eclipse fever right now Monday, April the eighth,
27:10
And I don't know exactly. I was reading an article last night about
27:12
totality. That's the new word over the next couple of weeks is totality is
27:15
how much we're actually going to be able to see. Heard that Seymour,
27:18
Indiana is like that's the home of John Mellencamp. In case you were wondering,
27:22
Seymour, Indiana is about the best place in America to see the eclipse.
27:26
No, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not.
27:29
I gotta work. But nonetheless, you're doing some things for the eclipse of
27:32
Monday. The airport are talking about to have an eclipse viewing party if you
27:36
will, glasses available, have students out on the lawn. Just want to
27:41
be able to gather as a community to see the eclipse event. It should
27:45
be fun. We'll see, and again a lot of it all depends too
27:48
on between what happens. I was one of the articles I was reading.
27:51
They were quoting a meteorologists, and the meteorologists was saying, we can't at
27:56
this point tell you exactly what it's going to look like, even though we
27:57
can predict to vitality, because it's it's almost like any other weather event.
28:03
You know, there's still gonna be clouds, and there's gonna be set depends
28:07
on whether it's raining and so on and so forth. So but nonetheless it's
28:10
going to be it's an excuse for a party at Bridge Valley, is that
28:11
what you're saying? As long as the sun actually is shining, that take
28:15
okay, it should be out on the line, all right, and that'll
28:18
start at what time? That's such a good question. Information is available on
28:21
the social media. That's where I got it. Information is available. It's
28:23

All right, we'll talk to you again next month. I appreciate you stopping
28:32
by it. Thanks lunch, I got a traffic note here for you.
28:34
From one of our listeners says, the Division of Highways is pulling a stunt
28:40
out here on the interstate this holiday weekend by jamming up all three lanes of
28:42
traffic. I'm not sure whose head is up blank, but probably not a
28:48
good idea to patch holes and people are trying to leave town. Metro nine
28:52
to one one had no information on this. I'm giving you day firsthand info
28:56
that they are actually patching, and then they followed that up. They texted
29:00
that at the beginning of the interview Doctor Tacks. They followed that up by
29:03
saying they just opened it back up, So there was some patching going on
29:07
somewhere on sixty four. Texture didn't tell you exactly where it was, but
29:10
somewhere on sixty four they were doing some patching. Lord knows we need it,
29:12
but do we need it like today? I don't know. But Dave

33:52
were having problems with different things. We do events to try to bring neighbors
33:55
together, try to make it a neighborhood that people love to live then and
34:00
come visit. So that's kind of what we're all about. And I wouldn't
34:01
know. We get this big event tomorrow. What are some of the other
34:04
activities you had throughout the year? What are coming up? May eighteenth,

with the Bishop, I think on V one hundred, so I appreciate you
35:21
sticking around to it. Talk to me big, big happenings tomorrow Laidley Field.
35:25
Yeah, Pam and I, you know, I wanted to do something
35:29
special for the community. You know, I was wondering why we didn't have
35:31
more carnivals, more events in our community. Pam was like, let's do
35:35
it. You know. After we've made the decision, I was like,
35:37
hey, we need somebody to help us get this off the ground. I
35:39
went to Bensilango. You know, he graciously decided to help and become an
35:43
anchor for this event and got it, got it all all going. It's
35:47
going to be a great event. You know, tomorrow at Laidley Field from
35:51
ten thirty to five, we will have over sixty different rides, inflatables,
35:58
zip lines, rock walls, you're bungees, electric trains, skill events,
36:06
monster truck inflatables, putt putt, obstacle courses, slides. You know,
36:12
it is going to be something that no one in West Virginia has ever seen
36:17
before. It is going to be something special. It sounds like it.
36:21
Now. It's ten dollars for the kids to get in right, right and
36:23
take the ten dollars they can They can do all this stuff all day,
36:27
is that right? Right? So The big question is you know, is
36:29
it just the kids that have to pay? Unfortunately, no, Mom and
36:31
dad. There's an entry fee. Everybody pays ten dollars to get in.
36:35
If you're under two, no charge, but everybody that enters there is a
36:38
ten dollars entry fee. Now, the good thing is everybody that enters and
36:44
pays ten dollars to get in gets a chance to pull an egg out of
36:46
our prize pool. We have six thousand eggs in our prize egg pool.
36:52
Some of those prizes are a free appetizer at outback, a free pizza from
37:00
Pizza Hut, a free snow cone, fast pass to skip the line to
37:05
get on your favorite ride. But one egg will have one thousand dollars cash.
37:09
Nice, So one lucky person is going to be a little bit richer
37:15
after they leave our event. On side about all the eggs at that point,
37:17
right right, they can go on Monday and buy all the peeps that
37:21
are going to be discounted at your local storage. Is that right? Exactly
37:23
exactly? They have a peep problem. They have the money to solve that
37:28
problem. The Dave Allan two and five age live Bride you bar By Mortgaan
37:30
to Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Aaron, that's a lot of
37:34
work in putting this whole thing together. Had the whole idea, I mean,
37:37
I know you said that you wanted to do something you can kind of
37:39
get back to the community. But talk about the logistics of pulling this thing
37:43
off, man, because that's a whole lot. You talk about having that
37:45
many eggs and that many people in one location all day, all those inflatables,
37:49
well over sixty of the different different games and whatnot, that's a lot
37:52
of work man. Oh yeah, it is a lot of organ So it's
37:53
two days a setup. We started yesterday morning. We'll be working all day
37:59
to again today late into the night to try to get everything set up.
38:02
You know. Thank you to the units, the students at the University of
38:06
Charleston. We will have over sixty students volunteering tomorrow at the event from the
38:14
University of Charleston to help the kids get on the inflatables, play on the
38:16
inflatables, be on the eurobungies, go down the zip lines. So that's
38:22
going to be a huge help, you know. Based upon the proceeds of
38:23
the event, we will we will be making a large donation to the University
38:28
of Charleston for those volunteers to those sports programs to help those sports programs pay
38:31
for you know, travel, meals, hotels, all those things that they
38:36
have to pay for out of pocket when those teams travel. And I did
38:39
want to mention you talking about the prizes earlier. I understand that Caldwell Insurance
38:44
it was one of the folks that really stepped up and sponsored the prizes.
38:45
And there's so many different companies. You mentioned Pizza Hut, and we don't
38:50
leave any out slangle Law. I mean, they're they're the title sponsor,
38:52
and they're the ones that I mean, everybody worked hard on this. But
38:55
but but the Slangle Law is kind of the title sponsor. United Rental we
39:00
talked about the Community Association of there in Kanawa City and all of our stations
39:04
too. We were happy, happy to take part in this as well.
39:07
So it's it's going to be a great day's worth of activities. And I
39:09
was just checking the weather earlier. Looks like there's about a thirty percent chance
39:14
of rain tomorrow. Nothing that it's going to keep people away though, Nope,
39:15
nope, it's going to be warm. There may be a shower in
39:20
the afternoon, maybe for about thirty minutes, but the weather looks great.
39:24
Dads, you know we're gonna have a beer tent. Okay, and well
39:30
maybe moms too, maybe moms, you know, with maybe some Seltzers for
39:32
the moms. I guess, yeah, don't you get stereotype here? Come
39:36
on, come on, come on, all right, I'm not going to
39:38
go back to you for a minute to pam in this organization getting involved in
39:42
this. I mean again, so many activity and I mentioned this top of
39:45
the show. There are so many different things going on as part of Easter
39:47
weekend. Every community's got their own egg hunt. There's things going on all
39:51
over Charleston, all over the Kanaal Valley. But I like the idea that
39:55
this one that they've got the community involvement from your organization as part of this.
40:00
Well, yeah, we did what we called the Village Fair for four
40:04
years in a row back in the late two thousand and nine, eight nine,
40:07
ten, something like that. So when Aaron came on board with Cacca,
40:12
one of his first questions is why don't we do a carnival like you
40:14
said? And I thought, funny you asked, because we used to and
40:17
we got to the point where we didn't have enough volunteers to do it anymore.
40:20
But I've always wanted to get that started back again, so we were
40:22
really excited to partner with them to a point and help them find a place.
40:28
And we wanted to do it Kanall City, but we couldn't find a
40:30
place big enough for that many inflatables. So I mean, when you talk
40:34
about doing it anywhere in the Charleston area, there's really only one or two
40:37
pa exactly. I could probably hold something like that either the ballpark or there.
40:39
And I love the fact that anytime we can use Lateley Field. I
40:43
like it because it's just it was, you know, such an iconic part
40:45
of the Charleston community, you know, as for so many years. I
40:47
like the fact that we could utilize the field. Aaron, I want to
40:51
give you an opportunity to talk about Quantum Party rentals a little bit. So
40:54
Quantum Party Renolds is an inflatable tent, table and chair business. You know.
41:00
We have done festivals, weddings, backyard parties across West Virginia for the
41:07
last five years, and I just felt like it was time for us to
41:13
do maybe our own festival, our own event and do something special to kind
41:16
of give back to the community, something where families can come in on Easter
41:22
weekend really enjoy their time, you know, tire out those kids. You
41:25
know, ten dollars to tire out your kid for the day is nothing,
41:30
and the money is going to go to a good cause over at University of
41:32
Charleston. But yeah, we operate the entire state of West Virginia. We'll
41:38
go to Morgantown for an event, We'll go to weird In for event.
41:42
You know, wherever you have an event in West Virginia. We are your
41:45
one stop shop for everything fun. How did you get into this business?
41:49
I'm just kind of curious. How does somebody one day go, you know
41:51
what, I'm going to have an inflatable party business. Where does that come
41:53
from? Well, you know, I started Quantum Sports back in two thousand
41:57
and seven indoor sports facilities in a hurricane and try and I quickly realized,
42:01
you know, the field needs to be filled up with different types of events.
42:06
So we started looking at nationally what other sports centers do to fill up
42:10
time on their field, and one of those items was inflatable parties. So
42:15
we started doing inflatable parties and we did that for probably about ten years,
42:22
and we had an opportunity to purchase the warehouse in Kenal City that used to
42:27
be General Glass, and we purchased that warehouse and we operated in the back
42:31
of the warehouse with the sports center. But we had this huge warehouse in
42:34
the middle that was empty. When no one wanted to rent it, we
42:37
couldn't find anybody to buy it. So a fellow by the name of Greg
42:43
Harkins said, Hey, why don't you buy my inflatable business. I thought
42:46
about it, Well, we already do indoor parties, you know, it's
42:50
not that much of a stretch to start doing outdoor inflatable party rentals. So
42:54
bought the business from Greg. You know, it's taken off, it's tripled
42:58
in size. We have over fifty employees now that you know, run trucks
43:02
on the weekends and put smiles on every kid across West Virginia. Well it
43:07
sounds like I mean, I'm very familiar you know, with the with the
43:12
company and everything that you do, and people just absolutely love what you do.
43:15
Let's get back to the event again tomorrow before we cut you loose,
43:17
because I know you've got a lot of work to do to get ready.
43:20
Ten thirty Tomorrow's when it starts, ten thirty, ten thirty to five,
43:23
ten thirty to five at Lateley Field, Ladyfield ten dollars All day Play have
43:29
you will. You will be surprised when you get there. It will be
43:31
shocking the size and magnitude of this event and how many rides are there,
43:37
and just the overall look and feel of the event. The kids are going
43:42
to be super excited when they walk through the door, and super and super
43:45
tired when they leave, and super tired with that. And that's the whole
43:49
plan. And again, I've got information posted about it on my social media
43:52
pages, and I know you guys have got information out there as well.
43:54
It's not to meet everybody's everybody around town that's talking about this, articles in
43:58
the paper about and everything, so it's not going to be hard to find
44:00
information about it. Yeah. I would suggest though, if you don't stand
44:05
in line for tickets, go to our Facebook page and go ahead and purchase
44:08
tickets online. That way, and you get there, we just have to
44:12
scan your ticket and you walk right through. Okay, And where's the what's

the show yesterday because man yesterday show was loaded up. I had Joe Manchin
50:30
on the show. I had Cinne Finance sch Eric Tar on the show yesterday.
50:34
I had a bunch of people on the show, and I obviously put
50:37
in a little baseball yesterday, you know, because it was the opening day
50:39
for the Rats and they looked spectacular against Washington yesterday afternoon. I did not
50:45
get to all the texts on the show yesterday, so I wanted to allow
50:46
a little bit of time so I could say I got to the text from
50:51
yesterday's show. We had a text of the show yesterday. Somebody asking for
50:53
the latest on the Jimmy Riston situation. And we had a text of the
50:57
show yesterday that said, people holding their breath for you, risking to face
51:00
consequences for his accents are going to asphyxiate themselves. That was a text to
51:06
the show on yesterday. Now, I had, as I said, sena
51:09
financier Eric Tarr on the show yesterday. Text on that yesterday said, let
51:15
Tar know the last I checked, liberals are winning all over the country and
51:20
Trump got hammered by more than eight million votes just saying talking about Eric Tarr,
51:28
this guy's nuts, says the Texter, and I no, that did
51:30
not come from missus Tar. This guy's nuts. No reasoning with him.
51:34
Thanks Dave for holding his feet to the fire. On the Joe Manchin interview
51:39
from yesterday, text says, Dear Dave Manchin, is always very hard to
51:44
dislike two bad politics have shifted so hard in both directions. Got to be
51:50
an extremist one way or the others get elected Nowadays, same people can't win
51:53
hashtags sad state of affairs text said why not get a different mayor from Monday?
52:00
It's not spokesperson Monday. Well, you know I've kind of redone the
52:04
way that I did. I'm always moving things around the show. You should
52:06
know that by now, and on the Mayor Monday segment, I do offer
52:08
the first Monday of the month to the Goodwin administration to Mayor a good one.
52:13
Unfortunately she was not available, So I do have the chief of Staff,
52:15
Matt Sutton. One thing I know about Matt Sutton, I've known him
52:19
for a long time. Matt Sutton is not afraid to answer any question now,
52:22
but to Mayor is Don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying that
52:23
Matt will answer about anything, especially if it's about old school wrestling. So
52:28
Matt will be on the show for the last thirty twenty to thirty minutes or
52:31
so on Monday. So if you got a question, you get a comment
52:34
for the chief of staff, anything related to the City of Charleston, Matt
52:37
Sutton is going to be in handling those coming up on Monday's show. Tech
52:44
said from yesterday, and actually this one was from the day day. The
52:45
word on the street is that Justice and Riston are planning to install wide angle
52:50
cameras on all major bridges so they can get video when the bridges collapse.
52:53
Well, hopefully that doesn't happen here Texas. Remember there's a huge days between
