• 3:35
  Speaker 4: we'll talk to you because we're always looking for people
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: up here. All right, Chris, So you've been on the show,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You've been around politics for some time. For those that
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: don't know, give us a bio on Chris Print.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Sure, I am a practicing attorney. I was a former
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: member of the West Virginia House of Delegates. I serve
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: from twenty twenty to two thousand and twenty four. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: ran a while practice with my wife, Kelly until December
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: of twenty and twenty four when she took the bench
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: as one of our family Court judges here in Kanawa County.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: So she was elected in May of twenty twenty four,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: and so we did that for a number of years.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Now I'm a solo practitioner. We mostly do state planning.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: We also do some real estate transactions. But yeah, I
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: am running for the West Virginia State Senate. I serve
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: four years in the House of Delegates and I'm ready
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: to move to the other side of the chamber.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: What is it about the State Senate that appeals to you.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I think that it's a little bit easier to get
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: things done over there. Obviously, there aren't as many people there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I think that in terms of getting bills introduced, getting
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: on the committee agenda, there's just fewer people there.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It's just easier to get things passed.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Obviously, you're dealing with less people, less personalities.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: I just think you can get more accomplished.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: One hundred in the House is a lot. Chris I mean,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: it really really is. You got one hundred people, one
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty different personalities there in the House.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Sure, absolutely, and it's I've never especially if you don't
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: want to be. I think there's a couple couple of
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: tracks you can go on when you're in the legislature.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: One is to be a more independent voice.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: One is to be there's what I would call a
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: leadership track where you just you join up with leadership,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: you work your way up, become you become a committee chair.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: And I'm not saying that's not in my future at
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: some point, but that's not kind of that's not the
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: role that I see myself in at this point. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: want to work as being an independent voice, an independent
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: conservative in the state Senate. That's what I was in
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the House of Delegates, and so I think that given
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that that's the track, I think that the Senate is
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: a good fit for me.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Certainly.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Once you get to certain levels of leadership in the
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: House of Delegates, that's when you can really have influence.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: But something can be said for not having to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I guess you could say accountable to leadership on things,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: not having to face that kind of pressure, not having
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: strings they can hold over your head.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: And that's great for some.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: People, that's perfectly fine.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: That's just not me.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, I want to be able to get in
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: there and vote my conscience for every single vote.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Now, I'm going to do it in a polite way.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to be purposely being rude or anything,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: but each and every vote, I'm going to do what
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I think is the right thing for the people West Virginia.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: It's District seventeen. Explain the district.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Sure, The district consists of You're going sort of from
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: the northern part of the county and around. It consists
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: of the Cistonville area, the Elk area down into eastern
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Kanal County, kind of north of the river that it
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: goes over it and gets Kanaal City, South Hills, South Charleston,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: and Saint Albans.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: That's pretty much the district.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, So what do you see as the biggest needs.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Of a district, Chris, I think the biggest needs is
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: economic development. I mean, I think that's really where we
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: need to step up. I think that we do things
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: where government gets in the way. I think there are
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: lots of things we can do to help people economic development.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: I think, Look, we're doing some things, some great things
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: in the state of West Virginia to move the ball.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: One of an interesting statistic that blows people people's minds
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: sometimes is the fact that we are losing population, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: there are more people moving into the states than are
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: moving out.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Now, this is statewide.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Obviously there's different patterns based on the part of the
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: state that you're living here. Yeah, but we have a
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: decreasing population and hopefully we're going to reverse that, and
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I think we can in the next few years.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: What do we need to do to reverse that? If
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you don't mind my interacting, well, I mean, where would
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: you if you're your task with that? I mean, what
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: are some things that are on your plate that you
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: think you could do that would be good for the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: district to try to increase the population.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Competitiveness, competitiveness based on just common sense things that are
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: going to affect people moving here. One of the things
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I think is broadband I mean, I think that's a
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: very very common sense thing that we can do to
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: move the ball forward. And when I say that, I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: talking about people that would move into our state, who
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: can work remotely, people who have a history of connection
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: with the state of West Virginia that have the ability
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: to work remotely. I mean I talk to people all
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: the time who move in who need some estate planning done,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: who are coming from elsewhere who are moving back to
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: West Virginia. Either they're retired or some aarly retired, or
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: they have the ability to work remotely. But one of
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the ways that we can do that is making sure
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: we have good broadband. That's something that's going to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: in the future. I think to get people to move here.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I think we have here in the Kanaal Valley, We've
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: got some decent broadband, but I think expandeding upon that,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: giving people options.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: I think that's something that we can do.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: The other thing that we can do is we can
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: make sure that our tax code is as competitive as possible.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: We need to make sure that taxes are as low,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: especially for our seniors who have worked their tails off
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: their entire lives and some of them face tax burdens.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I think we need to make sure that taxes are
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: lower for them. The other things that I think we
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: can do is we can make sure that, for example,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: we get government out of the way to expand the economy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: And I'll use a couple of examples for this, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: this doesn't get talked about a lot I've seen in media,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: but there's a very simple thing that we could do.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: It relates to what's called the certificate of need. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know if this has been brought up on
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: other interviews. I don't see it brought up a whole
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: lot in sort of my circles. But basically, if you
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: want to start a healthcare related business in West Virginia,
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: you have to get the permission of the government.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Other states don't have that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Other states, like if you want to start up a
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: business in Texas or other states that don't have this,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: you don't have to get the permission of the government.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: And so we have this specific to the medical industry,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: specific to the medical industry. Right, So it's a program
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: that's been around since the seventies in the state of
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: West Virginia. I think we could get rid of that,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: and I think we would have major economic development in
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: the healthcare industry if we were to get rid of that.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I think generally speaking, if you get government out of
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: the way, you're going to see economic growth. I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: it's very very simple. Dave, lower taxes, getting government out
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: of the way. I think businesses and people are going
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: to thrive, and I think that's the key to economic
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: development here in the Knaw Valley.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Doddor Chris Sprett again, who's the Republican candidate for State Center?

• 10:34
  Speaker 4: gone so far?
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: It's great. I'm getting out there, I'm talking with people.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I'm meeting with as many people as possible. I think
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: it's going very well.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: And I would think because people know who you are,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: because again, you were in the legislature before, You've run
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: for other offices, so it's not like you have to
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: play the you know here. I mean, some people may
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: not know you, but I think you've been around logging.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: People know who you are, so you have that facial recognition.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I mean I think when people when I talk with people.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: They A lot of people know who I am. But
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: it's just one of those things. It's just on the
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: if you start at the very top, president, everybody knows
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: who the president is. The vast majority of people know
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: who our senators are and our governor is, and on
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: down the line there are people who you know, people
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: who aren't is engaged, who don't know who I am.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: But that's okay. I mean, that's the reason we have campaigns.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: That's the reason we get out there and meet people.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, I think we've got a good
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: strong base to work from. In terms of our campaign,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I think it's going well. I think people are really
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: responsive to the message that we have about how we're
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: going to move Kanah County forward.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: You have a website or social media you like to Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: It's well.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: In terms of social media, it's really easy. It's print
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: for the people the number four.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: That's either it's one x and Facebook and such, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: then my website is really easy. It's Chrispritt WV dot com.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Give me thirty seconds, final thirty Why should someone vote
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: for Chris Print, Republican state Senator in District seventeen.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: We need to move Kanaw County in West Virginia in
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: a conservative direction. One of the things that I've seen
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: in the state legislature over the past couple of years
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: is that we have conservative legislation that's being thwarted.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I talked about Certificate of Needed Reform.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's something. Looks like we're getting a five percent
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: tax cut.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Based on everything I can see, I would have liked
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: that to have been ten percent. I think we need
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: to be doing more to lower the taxes for our seniors.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Other things that we can do to push us in
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: a more conservative direction that I don't think is going
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: to get through the legislature of this session is everified.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: That means if you're a business and you simply have
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: to check the immigration status of the people who are
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: going to come work for you. I think that's an easy,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: common sense thing that we can do to move in
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: a conservative direction. All of those things, I think that
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: if people look at my record, if people look at
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: what we're talking about here, we are going to move
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Kanall County in West Virginia in a more conservative direction
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: if I'm elected to the state Senate.
• 12:58

  Speaker 4: Give us a bio on Tom Ewing.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: All right, So I grew up in in faed County,
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: educated in Faed County.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: What part of Faye At Canada?
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: Grew up in Hiko the intersection between Route sixty and
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: nineteen know exactly where it is in Betweenersville in Fayetteville,
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: and so I went from I graduated Militarial High School
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: and then went on to Gloville State College. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: went to Glenville mostly interested in playing basketball, had got
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: the opportunity to play college basketball. Graduated with a social
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: stage education and a history degree from Glenville. While I
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: was doing my student teaching, I decided to pursue law school.
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: Went to law school at WU, graduated in two thousand
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: and four, and after law school, I worked for K.
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: Casto and Cheney Law Firm from two thousand and four
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: to twenty eighteen, and ultimately my time with CA Casto
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: in it because I was appointed then governor Justice to
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: replace John Hatcher as judge in Fake County. So I've
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: been in a public service to the judiciary since January
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: of twenty nineteen, and so most of my time recent
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: times obviously involved in as a judge or justice. But
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: I do have a pretty extensive experience doing a civil
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: civil work as a as an attorney with one of
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: the bigger law firms in the state.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Now, as an attorney, did you always have your eye
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: on the judicial branch? Because not all attorneys do. I mean,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: some are perfectly happy with is doing what they do,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: but others have always got that eye on the prize.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: What how how was it for you?
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: I would say it's something that sort of evolved over
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: time as an attorney obviously when you well to back up,
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: when I when I graduated law school, well when I
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: started law school, I didn't even know an attorney. So
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: so after being you know, after law school you start
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: working with a firm, you get out, you actually learn
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: what lawyers do and what being a lawyer is actually,
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: you know, actually what the job's actually like. So initially
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: I was just trying to, you know, figure out what
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: I'm supposed to do and how I pay the bills
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: through being a lawyer. Uh, my practice evolved in my
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: location involved. So later on, in before I was appointed
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: as judge in Feded County, I actually opened an office
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: in Faeddeville for K Casto, and they mostly did that
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: as a convenience for me, to be honest with you,
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: but through that process I started getting abuse neglect appointments
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: and that was the first time I was actually able
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: to see what was really going on in my community.
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: I lived in my own little bubble obviously driving from
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: from I live in Edmund, so driving from edmund to
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: to Charleston every day or to you know, before I
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: opened the office in Fedville, I didn't really have an
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: idea of what, you know, the opioid epidemic, the abuse
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: to neglect, all this was going on. It was sort
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: of something that I was aware of, but it didn't
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: it wasn't affecting me. And once I started getting the appointments,
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: I started seeing what was going on in the community,
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: and I started interacting with the local circuit judges a
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: lot more because I was there for the abuse neglect
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: hearing is the appointed work. Through that process, I was
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: able to, you know, I guess develop a pretty good
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: working relationship with Judge Hatcher and when and so, at
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: some point before he was announced he was retiring, Judge
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: Hatcher actually came to me and said, I'm looking to
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: retire and I think you would be a good person
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: to follow me. I would like for you to consider that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: So that was probably the first time that I had
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: the opportunity to think about can I do this job,
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: That's something I want to do, and having sort of
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: the recommendation or the the the backing of you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: Judge Hatcher like sort of pushing me to walk through
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: that door when it opens was motivating, and I've thought,
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: be all, I can do this. So once I got
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: got passed whether I could do it or not, then
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: it was something and I thought I could see the
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: value in serving being a circuit court judge, being being
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: involved in different different things to help the community. Because
• 20:59
  Speaker 11: there's a there are a lot of issues with the families,
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: the substance abuse. Obviously that the circuit judge has a
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: lot of opportunity to help there. And it's different than
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: what you think typically think of as law and order
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: from a judicial standpoint, but with the treatment courts and
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: the problem solving programs that the courts are involved in now,
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: like there is a lot of opportunity for a judge
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: to serve and make a difference in the individual lives
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: of the people appearing before here or her. So I
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: actually that was something that motivated me to pursue it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Back in twenty eighteen, the Supreme Court Justice Tom You
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: and A right So talk about being appointed to the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: bench by the gaper last year.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: So the process started with the Judicial Vacancy Commission and
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: you submitted the application, and I went into the interview
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: with the JAVAC with really to make the point, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: I believe that someone with circuit judge experience needed to
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: be on the court. Justice Hutchinson had since retired. He
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: was the only judge or justice with circuit court experience
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: on the bench at the time, and so I went
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: into that interview, you know, to make the case that
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: first that a circuit judge should receive the appointment, in second,
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: that I should be the one to to receive it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: And part of my selling point to the Javak at
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: that point was that, you know, I have a broad
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: base of experience as far as the civil perspective our
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: our circuit in Fact County, the large number of abuse
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: in cases that that I had handled, either personally as
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: an attorney or as a judge. I you know, I
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: started treatment court programs, worked in treatment court programs, and
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: so I felt like I had the broad base of
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: experience to be of value to the court and add
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: something to the discussions that go on in that room
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: when you're debating the decisions in those cases. So that
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: was my selling point to the JAVAK, and then Governor
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: Morrisey was very involved in the process. If you'll recall,
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: he actually scheduled individual interviews with each of the recommendees
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: from the JAVAC and I had hour hour and a
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: half long personal interview with him, and then the next
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: week he called me back for a second interview. So
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: the process was very involved. I think he put a
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: lot of effort into vetting the folks who were recommended,
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: and you know, ultimately I was thankfully able to convince
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: him that I was the right person for the appointment.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: So I appreciate the opportunity to be able to have
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: those discussions and to be able to prove myself through
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: the process, because he said at one point, I didn't
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: know anything about you until this process, and I think
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: he actually made that statement during the press conference. And
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: so the process itself let me prove that I was
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: the right person for the appointment.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court Justice Tom Ewing is here at Dave Island
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Show on five aty Line, brought to you apart by
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: your hometown baseball team, The Charles the Dirty Birds. We're
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: gearing enough for another great season baseball over at Goilmark Ballpark.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Gets your season tickets, merchandise some more at Dirty Birds
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Baseball Dot com judge, explain what the average day are
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: either on the bench or maybe off the benches for
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court justice a judge, because I think sometimes the
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: public only sees when you make the news, you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: when you're ruling on a certain.
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: Case or so on, and so what's an average day
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: like So, I think it's important to understand that the
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: Supreme Court's role is not just those oral arguments in
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: deciding the cases, you know, the opinions you see, the
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: things that make the news. The court also has an
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: administrative function. The five justices essentially operate as a board
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: of directors for the entire judiciary across the state, seventeen
• 25:02
  Speaker 11: hundred employees, a budget of depending on what ultimately well,
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: I guess the legislature passed, it was like one hundred
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: and seventy six million dollars budget operating you know, HR
• 25:13
  Speaker 11: departments and programs across the state. So that what the
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: public sees as the role of the justice, you know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: the or arguments were were in the robes and asking
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: questions to the attorneys, that's just a small, a small
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: part of it. It's it's actually a job that's it
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: has both that legal requirement obligation and an administrative obligation.
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: And the administrative obligation has actually been the learning curve
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: for me because as a circuit judge I had I
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: didn't have a budget. Was a circuit judge, I did.
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: I manage some employees and had to had to operate
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: programs and do some things, but not to the extent
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: of the decision making that the justices have to make
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: about the you know, the financial obligations and budgeting and
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: and and and trying to work with the legislature to
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: get a budget that you know that fits the needs
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: of the the judiciary. So yeah, that the main thing
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: to understand, uh, for the public to understand, I think
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: is that the role is is much greater than just
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: those oral arguments where you see the court asking questions
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: to the attorneys. Now, the other part that goes into
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: it for the legal side is there's a lot of preparation.
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: There's a lot of there's a lot of reading and
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: in research and getting ready for those oral arguments and
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: ultimately writing the opinion. So a typical a typical day
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: will involve a lot of reading. I would I will
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: definitely say that this job is much more of a
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: of an academic venture than being a circuit judge, where
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: the circuit judge, you're you're managing the courtroom, you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: every every single day, you're having hearings, every single day,
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: you're in there with the parties face to face. So
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: I would say that being a circuit judge was probably
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: overall a harder, harder job as far as like the
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: stress and tension, because you're face to face making decisions
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: with the people who are affected by those decisions. And
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: as I said, I use the term academic for the
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: Supreme Court. I mean, obviously it's not an academic venture
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: because the decisions we make are affecting individuals, are affecting businesses,
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: are affecting government agencies. So you know, it's important to
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: always remember that. But it is it's removed from the
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: personal connection with the litigants, the parties, and is more
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: you know, obviously we're just looking at the record. We're
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: not taking testimony, we're not hearing that the evidence like
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: the circuit.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Judges or or in a family how how has the
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: campaign being going? Because I know in the judicial you
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: can't you know, you're I don't see restricted. But there's
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: certain ways that you have to go about campaigning. Uh things,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: you can say whatever. So how's the campaign been going
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: over on? Yeah, so that that part of it. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: mean I've been through too judicial campaigns so far as
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: the circuit judge, you know, So I was comfortable with
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: where the lines are pretty you know, I think I've
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: done a pretty good job of staying staying.
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: In the in the lines. But the realization for me
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: is how big the state of West Virginia is. I mean,
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: you think about the fifty five counties and the terrain
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: and getting around. You know, it's a state wide election.
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: Is a is a big undertake And and I've had
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: a couple of people ask me.
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: So.
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: The other thing is with the Division two, the one
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: I'm running.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very important. I need to mention that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: So so that the Division two is only for the
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: remain the two year remaining part of Justice Walker's term.
• 28:59
  Speaker 11: And so whoever wins, if I'm fortunate enough to win,
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: I'm going to have to run again in twenty twenty
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: eight to keep the job for the twelve year term. Right,
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: And when you go out and explain people is what's
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: going on, it can be and you're trying to explain
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: how how you know why you're doing it, and then
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: when you explain, well, I basically have two elections back
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: to back, a lot of people say, why did you
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: want to do this?
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of that's a lot of miles on
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: the old vehicle there, judge.
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: Why did you want to do this? And why? Why
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: were you willing to leave? Or why did you want
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: to leave? I guaranteed seven you know, seven years left
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: on your term in Fake County as a circuit judge,
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: why did you want to leave that? And and so
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: for me, it's just to be able to demonstrate to
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: people how passionate I am about doing this job and
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: I think it has an opportunity to impact on a
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: much broader scale than what I was able to do
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: in you know, infect and just being a judge, infaking.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Do you have a website or social media?
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: And do it's ww dot uing for wv dot com
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: is the is the website? Have social media? It'd be
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: under the same thing.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: You can find it easily, all right, Final thirty? Why
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: should someone vote for you for Supreme Court? I believe
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: that I should be able to keep my position. The
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: voters should vote to keep me on the Supreme Court.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: Because, as I said before, I think it's critical to
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: have someone with circuit court experience on that bench, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: I feel that my experience, I'm the first justice with
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: treatment court experience. I have extensive experience dealing with the
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: abuse neglect cases personally as an attorney and the criminal cases.
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: And then I have the experience of being essentially a
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: civil practitioner for fourteen fourteen years, handling a variety of
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: civil issues. So I feel like my experience as a
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: judge and as an attorney makes me uniquely qualified to
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: contribute as a Supreme Court justice and make that the
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: court is as good as it can be.

  Speaker 4: chili and then we'll talk wrestling after that. So Green
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Chili shoot how many years has been going on?
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: It's it's been going on a few years, but this
• 34:25
  Speaker 16: is my first so I'm learning with everyone too, Okay,
• 34:28
  Speaker 16: but yeah, we have the Green Chili Shootout from noon
• 34:30
  Speaker 16: to four on Saturday at Capital Market. You can purchase
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: tickets ahead of time on capitolmarket dot net for ten
• 34:35
  Speaker 16: dollars and save you a few bucks. It's fifteen dollars
• 34:38
  Speaker 16: when you walk up for tasting tickets. We'll have beer
• 34:40
  Speaker 16: and wine, and we've got twenty professional cooks and a
• 34:43
  Speaker 16: bunch of amateur cooks, so you'll be able to try
• 34:45
  Speaker 16: the green professional chili from in the Green Chili Shootout.
• 34:48
  Speaker 16: But we'll have other kinds of chili too if that's
• 34:50
  Speaker 16: not your thing, with beef with chicken, with beans without beans.
• 34:54
  Speaker 16: Lots of beer and wine from the wine shop, so
• 34:56
  Speaker 16: we've got a lot on hand, a lot of pop
• 34:59
  Speaker 16: up vendors too. Pickle Guy would be there, Sarah's baker
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: would be there, and then of course we'll turn it
• 35:03
  Speaker 16: over for Ida'm been wrestling at four o'clock.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: So look, I mean, I discovered green chili later in
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: life because you know, being a kid of the coal fields,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: there was only one way to make chili and it
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: wasn't even hot. To be honest with you, I discovered
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: the spice later when my wife, when I married my wife,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: and we like it spicy. But define green chili. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: mean for people that don't know. It's not just green
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: food coloring. There's a lot more to it.
• 35:26
  Speaker 16: Yeah, they're hatch green chilies and you can roast them,
• 35:29
  Speaker 16: chopped them, everything like that. I got my first experience
• 35:32
  Speaker 16: I was working at Marshall Athletics in twenty seventeen. Marshall
• 35:34
  Speaker 16: got the New Mexico Bowl. That's where you know Colorado
• 35:38
  Speaker 16: and New Mexico or where green chilies are primarily grown.
• 35:41
  Speaker 16: There's a very small location where you can grow those.
• 35:44
  Speaker 16: I went out there for that Bowl game and I
• 35:46
  Speaker 16: think I tried a green chili cheese steak first, oh yep,
• 35:49
  Speaker 16: and then it went into green chili burgers. Obviously the
• 35:52
  Speaker 16: stew enchiladas, and I couldn't stop eating it the whole
• 35:55
  Speaker 16: time there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: And you're right, it's not overly powerful.
• 35:58
  Speaker 16: It's not a like Carolina Reaper type where you're gonna
• 36:00
  Speaker 16: get pulled over. But man, it's so versatile and it's
• 36:03
  Speaker 16: got such good flavor. I'm really excited because this, I mean,
• 36:06
  Speaker 16: this attracts champions from all across the country, award winning
• 36:10
  Speaker 16: green chili experts, and then the winner gets a berth
• 36:14
  Speaker 16: into the World Championship.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: So it's a really big deal.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: It is a very very big deal to have that
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: in West Virginia. And look, West Virginia. We already know
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: West Virginia is a culinary state anyway. I mean we
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: all know about Cheff Paul and the others you know
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: that have done the James Beard Award. But I mean
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: we have at least a couple maybe three, four not
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: more international chili competitions held in West Virginia. I take
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: part into one in Nitro with my buddy Joe Stevens
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: every year. I mean, and you people come from all
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: over the country to these things to compete.
• 36:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah, And I mean I go to regular chili competitions
• 36:48
  Speaker 16: cookosts all the time and like local local, you have
• 36:51
  Speaker 16: really really high level chili. Yeah, so you'll have that too.
• 36:55
  Speaker 16: You'll have really good local chili from the amateur cooks,
• 36:57
  Speaker 16: but then you get twenty professional in here making their
• 37:01
  Speaker 16: green chili. I think people are really going to have
• 37:04
  Speaker 16: a good time. Weather's supposed to be perfect, the sunny fantastic,
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: and then we've got entertainment for the last two hours too,
• 37:10
  Speaker 16: so djj will be there spending music all day.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of event in Charleston with that
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: especially over at Capitol Market ATJJ being there.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: He practically lives there, I think.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: But he does such a good job man, he Oh,
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: the guy's absolutely awesome. All right, So if somebody wants
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: to enter the competition, is it too late for that?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's too late for that.
• 37:27
  Speaker 16: But we we We've got twenty five their twenty professionals.
• 37:31
  Speaker 16: So but we please come get tasting tickets, get your
• 37:34
  Speaker 16: wine and having tasting tickets.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Go explain that.

• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Let's go outside.
• 37:52
  Speaker 16: Someone said to me the other day that they felt
• 37:53
  Speaker 16: like this was kind of the unofficial kickoff to spring
• 37:56
  Speaker 16: for Charleston.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: I love that idea, love it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 16: We're weeks away from outdoor market opening, flowers and everything
• 38:02
  Speaker 16: just blooming outside. Uh, so let's get outside under the
• 38:05
  Speaker 16: pavilion and have a really good time with with music
• 38:07
  Speaker 16: and wrestling, and I think it's I think it's going
• 38:10
  Speaker 16: to be an awesome family experience.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: Bring everyone.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And speaking of family experience, Adam Harris is
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: here right now to talk about brother talking about a
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: little wrestling. That going always be rastling to me.
• 38:20
  Speaker 17: Just so you know, Yeah, I want to say how
• 38:22
  Speaker 17: excited I am that that that Chuck and his new
• 38:24
  Speaker 17: role at the as the executive director, wanted to include
• 38:27
  Speaker 17: wrestling again this year. This is our third time at
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: Market Mayhem. It's an awesome way for some casual fans.
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: Maybe you're maybe you're wrestling curious, as I like to say,
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: and you've never experienced live professional wrestling. This is a
• 38:40
  Speaker 17: perfect opportunity to do it. It does cost a little
• 38:42
  Speaker 17: bit if you want to taste all the chili's there,
• 38:44
  Speaker 17: but the wrestling is free.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: You can even bring your own chair.
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: And I know there'll be some diehards there, But the
• 38:48
  Speaker 17: best part is turning on casual fans mm hm to
• 38:51
  Speaker 17: the athletics these events.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: When you've done it, when you've done it in the past,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: you know, and I've been there, there are people that are, oh,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: what's going on down there? And that's always to me,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: as somebody who spent you know, over thirty years in
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: the business. I think that is something to me that
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: is always fun is when you have them on outdoor shows, festivals,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: whatever where people aren't they just kind of happen into them.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they kind of wander up.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: They're like, and what what are we watching?
• 39:17
  Speaker 17: And as you know, you probably did shows in parking
• 39:19
  Speaker 17: lots all over the state or.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Be surprised to places I've done.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: But those are the funnest ones to me.
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: They're like the secret sauce of pro wrestling because no
• 39:27
  Speaker 17: matter what, people are going to at least pass by.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And go oh whoa neat or even better, you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: they hear it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 17: First of all, you know how loud the ring can be,
• 39:34
  Speaker 17: you know, and so they have no choice but to
• 39:35
  Speaker 17: hear it going on. And then they wander up and
• 39:37
  Speaker 17: sometimes they don't know how to behave they don't know
• 39:39
  Speaker 17: how to respond necessarily, but they're looking around at the
• 39:42
  Speaker 17: other fans, and then by the end of the thing,
• 39:44
  Speaker 17: they're yelling and screaming like just everybody else. Because that's
• 39:47
  Speaker 17: the idea of professional wrestling. You get to kind of
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: forget about your everyday life, remember that spring is here.
• 39:53
  Speaker 17: And get out some of that anxiety that we all
• 39:55
  Speaker 17: built up during the deep freeze to say.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Hell, all right, so if somebody wants to come out
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: to the wrestling show. I mean, we obviously wanted to
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: buy tickets, we wanted to sample the things there. But
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: if somebody just wants to come to the wrestling shown,
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: they can come right absolutely.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's free outdoor. The market is open, right.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: But once you get in there and you smell that
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: chili and you're probably gonna want something.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: You're gonna want some chili.
• 40:17
  Speaker 16: But like I said, we have a lot other well
• 40:19
  Speaker 16: with your Pickle guy would be there, Sarirs Baker would
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: be their girl Scouts will be there. Gritz Farm will
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: have their first fresh produce of the season this Saturday,
• 40:26
  Speaker 16: So kicking off a lot leaning into the weather and
• 40:30
  Speaker 16: the spring beyond the horizon.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: All right, Adam, let's talk about the wrestling to get
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: on the show.
• 40:34
  Speaker 17: Well, technically we're presenting this as Regatta Pro Wrestling, which
• 40:37
  Speaker 17: is of course associated with the summer event that happens
• 40:40
  Speaker 17: around the fourth of July, and we will have the
• 40:42
  Speaker 17: return of the Sternwhell Slamboree this summer. But this is
• 40:46
  Speaker 17: our third year of market Mayhem and what Regatta Pro
• 40:48
  Speaker 17: Wrestling seeks to do is we partner with a few
• 40:50
  Speaker 17: different wrestling organizations here in the region, including Conquest out
• 40:54
  Speaker 17: of Kanawa City, ASW out of Madison, Logan area where
• 40:57
  Speaker 17: you ring announced for many years, Apple Championship Wrestling, who
• 41:01
  Speaker 17: run a lot of outdoor shows but also beyond our
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: state borders, and also Powerslam Academy, which is run by
• 41:07
  Speaker 17: Chance Prophet, And all four of those organizations have shows
• 41:10
  Speaker 17: coming up this month next month, and our idea is
• 41:13
  Speaker 17: to kind of open people's eyes to the amount of
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: pro wrestling that's out there in the state and encourage
• 41:17
  Speaker 17: them to go and check out some of our other
• 41:19
  Speaker 17: partner organizations. And so all four of those organizations have
• 41:22
  Speaker 17: wrestlers presented on the card. This afternoon, We're gonna have
• 41:25
  Speaker 17: a mixed tag match, which is one man and one
• 41:27
  Speaker 17: woman against another man and another woman. The ASW boone
• 41:30
  Speaker 17: County Championship is going to be on the line, and
• 41:33
  Speaker 17: the ACW Championship is going to be on the line.
• 41:35

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 17: Well, and I first went to wrestling at the Civic
• 42:25
  Speaker 17: Center it's now the Colisseum in nineteen ninety two, and
• 42:28
  Speaker 17: I think that's where I truly fell in love with
• 42:29
  Speaker 17: professional wrestling and I realized, Wow, this is something it's interactive.
• 42:32
  Speaker 17: This is where this is just like you see on TV,
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: except you get to be a part of it. And
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: I fell in love with wrestling then, and I think
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: now the thing I get the most out of is
• 42:41
  Speaker 17: just kind of like reconnecting with that inner child a
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: little bit, remembering the love that you have for wrestling.
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: And I remember that day when I walked into the
• 42:47
  Speaker 17: arena seeing the ring for the first time, and I went, whoa,
• 42:50
  Speaker 17: it looks just.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Like it looks on Surreal.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: My first show.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I'm getting chills thinking about it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: The first show that I ever went to as a
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: sixth grader was at the Logan Memorial Field How Georgia
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Championship Wrestling sold out, Tommy Rich and buzz Sawyer on
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: on top as we say in the main event.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Love that.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: And I walked in and yet people that know the
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Logan Motmorial Field House, it's huge. I mean it's it's
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: not a high school gym, it's it's a mini coliseum.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: And I walked in and smell the popcorn, and I
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: saw that wrestling ring, dude, and and I was, like
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: I said, in sixth grade, and it's like wow, yeah, And.
• 43:23
  Speaker 17: It's hard to describe and I still try to take
• 43:25
  Speaker 17: a moment and observe the ring.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Whenever I get to the venue. You know, I look
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: at it and I go, oh, yeah, there, it is happening.
• 43:30
  Speaker 17: It's happening tonight, and so I think that, and then
• 43:32
  Speaker 17: also just trying to encourage young fans, especially because you know,
• 43:36
  Speaker 17: I had my first experience, and I think every time
• 43:39
  Speaker 17: I stepped in the ring, I could it could be
• 43:40
  Speaker 17: a young person's first wrestling experience, and if they're like me,
• 43:44
  Speaker 17: they might be loving it for forty years.
• 43:46

• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Morning Day Morning, sir.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: So there was a lot of debate, among other things
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: yesterday about food and TJ. I was following you on
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: X and when I saw food, I said, hmm, disinterest me.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: A lot of debate about food, dies and things of
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: that nature, which lends itself to my good friend sponsor
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: of the text line here, Tony the Taylor preen Zino,
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: who gets to throw in his his take, which is
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: always there is no such thing as a pepperoni roll
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: with cheese on it. That is not a pepperoni roll,
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: says Tony the Taylor. And he's got some other things too,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: about the way the pepperoni has to be cut, whether
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: there's that battle between whether you have slices of pepperoni
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: or stick pepperoni. Tony will tell you all about yourself,
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: as my grandmother used to say. So I invited him
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: on the show to set us straight on pepperoni rolls.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: You see, you guys, make sure you're listening tomorrow.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: As long as it's sliced pepperoni.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: I'm a fan. I can agree with him on the
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: cheese day if you have thoughts on that. No, okay, Well,
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: there is a right according to Peeranzino, there's a right
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: way and the wrong way to do pepperoni role. So
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: if you don't do it the right way, then you're
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: wrong and you're a godless communist.
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: Wow, I mean that's pretty Hey.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: If you do you know Tony the Taylor.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's pretty pretty hard core.
• 50:58
