2:35
we're about to have a new judge here in the Circuit Court in Kandak
2:38
County. We want to welcome and Stephanie Abraham, who later today we'll be
2:43
sworn in as the new circuit judge serving the thirteenth Judicial Circuit here Kandak County.
2:47
Stephanie, good morning, how are you? Good morning, Dave,
2:50
I'm great, Thank you for having me, thank you for being it now
2:53
to you right now, right right and for you always. Yeah, yeah,
2:55
so you're just stepping it today. Okay. Now you are appointed to
2:59
the office following the retirement Judge Duke Bloom at the end of June. And
3:02
it's pretty amazing. Figure here, Stephanie. You are the sixth woman on
3:07
the bench and a seven judge circuit. Right, that's not bad numbers for
3:13
your gender, you know, No, it's wonderful. And I will say
3:17
all the judges in the circuit have been so warm and welcoming to me,
3:22
and so it's it's wonderful an opportunity to work with all of them. Tell
3:25
us a little bit about you give us the bio instead of the Abraham.
3:28
Sure. Well, I'm obviously an attorney. I have represented a large variety
3:35
of clients in my life. I think I bring a really nice, broad
3:38
perspective to the bench. Most recently, I've been working for the State Board
3:43
of Education practicing education law. Done that for the department as well. I'm
3:47
a small business owner on my own firm. We're practice real estate and property
3:53
law. I've started my career in litigation. I've also taught at Higher ed
4:00
and have a background in business. So I think I bring a new a
4:02
unique perspective to the bench. So I'm excited to get started. So what
4:09
is it about the law and eventually being a judge that interested you going back,
4:15
you know, to your childhood or teen years or whenever you decided that
4:17
you wanted to do this. This is something that you've always aspired to Did
4:20
you just kind of fall into it? What's your what's your level of interest
4:25
going back? Well, I've always wanted to be an attorney. I will
4:27
fully admit I don't think I ever expected to be a judge, but I
4:32
have always believed in public service. That's a big part of my life.
4:36
And I think when you have the opportunity to serve your community and serve your
4:41
county and deliver justice to those who bring the issues in front of the bench,
4:46
then that's a unique opportunity and such an honor and a privilege to be
4:49
able to do for the folks in this county. And you're following in some
4:53
pretty big shoes or a robe or whatever you want ahead of Judge Duke Bloom
4:59
is kind of a led figure here in the Canal val absolutely, and I'm
5:02
just so grateful to him. He's been such a mentor to me and continues
5:08
to be. I strive to to fill that seat with the same honor that
5:13
he performed his judicial role. So so again we're talking with Stephanie Abraham,
5:18
who later day will be sworn in as the newest Kanon County Circuit judge serving
5:21
the thirteenth Judicial Circuit. Bear with me for a second under Stephanie. And
5:26
this term has been thrown around a lot lately, and it's called legislating from
5:30
the bench, meaning that critics of our current judicial system not necessarily I'm not
5:36
talking about Canal County. I'm talking about our court system in American general.
5:40
Many have said many have said that that that some judges see themselves as more
5:46
trying to make laws than ruling on existing law. Now I'm not an attorney,
5:53
obviously, uh So I don't know if too much is being made of
5:58
that or not, but but you get the point. I'm going through any
6:00
comment from you on those criticisms. Sure, and we've certainly heard that even
6:04
at the highest levels of our judiciary. I don't believe that that is would
6:10
be my role as a judge. We do not create laws. We enforce
6:15
and interpret the laws as they are written. I will not bend or shape
6:20
any law to get any kind of conclusion ahead of time. In each case
6:26
that comes before me and my bench will be decided solely on the facts and
6:29
the law of that particular case. And as an attorney and now as a
6:33
judge you and again there's not a heck of all that you or any person
6:38
on the bench can do about this. But primarily what you are going to
6:42
see is going to somehow be related to opioids. I mean, so you
6:46
know the crimes I mean, a law enforcement and attorneys and whoever will tell
6:48
you that what does it's probably ninety percent of the cases that come through somehow
6:55
are related to whether they're theft or whatever, somehow are related to drugs.
6:58
Yes, I think that's true. Certainly in my experience in my career,
7:02
I've seen how that's impacted kids, especially students here in West Virginia. I
7:08
see with those families and those children are dealing with on a daily basis,
7:13
and it's certainly an enormous problem. But we owe that to them to make
7:16
sure we make good decisions on their behalf, because certainly they are the future
7:21
of our communities, the future of our state. They're they're hard cases,
7:27
but that's certainly something that I take very very seriously, will do my utmost
7:30
to make sure that, you know, we deliver good decisions for those kids.
7:36
So what are you most looking forward to as after you're sworn in today
7:43
at day one on the job, what are you most looking forward to?
7:45
Well, I'm looking forward today one on the job actually actually getting Yes,
7:48
so that's exactly what I'm looking to do. I intend to hit the ground
7:53
running on Friday. I am grateful to Judge Bloom he has left. So
7:58
you're sworn in today and then tomorrow morning you report to work exactly. That's
8:01
the way the works, That's how it goes. Yeah. So so I
8:05
am absolutely looking forward to getting started and diving in. And like I was
8:09
saying that the you know, there's a great staff already in place in that
8:13
office, so very much looking forward to getting started with all of them.
8:16
Well, wish you the best of luck in congratulations. Now, that ceremony
8:20
is today in the courtroom of the Kana County Courthouse at two thirty and I'm
8:24
saying Governor Justice himself is going to be doing the ceremony. Yes, I'm
8:28
honored. He will be delivering the oath to me. So it's it's it's
8:31
wonderful that he's agreed to do that. I'm just very grateful. Well,
8:35
congratulations and the best of luck of everything, with everything, and anytime that
8:39
you want to come back on the show, you're more than welcome to and
8:43
we wish you the best of luck. And again where the ceremony is a
8:45
two thirty this afternoon. Friends, family and everybody will be there to support
8:48
you. And then they look at you and go, all right, it's
8:50
time to go to work, man. That's right, already, get started,
8:52

8:56

12:07
It starts had at Riverfront Park later this afternoon today, tomorrow and Saturday and
12:13
Sunday as well. Aeron Wood and Morgan Robinson joined us. Talk about it.
12:16
Guys, good morning, how are you get mort it? We're hungry?
12:20
Well, yeah, yeah, we're thinking about ribs already. I just
12:24
read that one of the guys, just one of the vendors, five thousand
12:28
pounds of meat, and that's just one of them. They're ready, They're
12:33
ready for us to come and all the sides that come along with See.
12:35
I'm a big believer, guys. I I love the ribs and I love
12:39
the brisket and everything, but if you don't have the quality sides, yeah,
12:43
you know, it ruins the meal. I mean glad you said that
12:46
because I was afraid to say it. It's like an unpopular opinion, but
12:48
I fully agree. You gotta paint the whole picture exactly. You gotta have
12:52
the big beans, the cold slaw of whatever else did you have with So
12:54
now again I want to make sure people realize rib Fest had been at Shawnee
13:00
the last few years. It is at Hadad Riverfront Park now, Aaron Wood
13:05
is it's kind of the CEO of this thing. Now, So what are
13:07
you most looking forward to this year? Aaron? Well, I'm looking forward
13:11
to bring in a big party to the city of Charleston. We are having
13:16
ribs from a rib vendors from all over the East coast, Texas, North
13:20
Carolina, South Carolina. These are some big boys, you know. They
13:22
can throw out a lot of ribs and their ribs are finger licking, lip
13:26
smacking, good good stuff. Yeah and uh and again people maybe listen,
13:33
they said, I'm not really into ribs. The thing about it is,
13:35
there's a whole lot more than just ribs. There a whole lot more,
13:39
a whole lot more. I mean, there's different meat choices obviously, but
13:41
Lake, you said, if you're in the game for the sides, we've
13:43
got you covered on that as well, dessert everything, And we've got our
13:46
local boys, dempty brothers are going to be there, and we've got all
13:50
kinds of ways that you can support us, support the Charleston community and just
13:54
have an amazing time with your family while you're doing it. And there are
13:56
literally guys, people literally coming from all of the country for this. I
14:01
mean, I mean every year, how many vendors were looking at them,
14:05
but approximately, I know it's a ballpark figure how many we look at.
14:07
Approximately, we're looking at approximately forty vendors. Food Oh, we have different
14:11
types of businesses. They're gonna be showcasing their business as well. And then
14:15
we have a five hundred foot fund zone for the kids, about twenty different
14:20
rides and inflatables that they can get on for the day. And then on
14:24
top of that, you know, we've got all the great entertainment that's going
14:26
to be there all weekend long. And I want to get into that.
14:28
That musical lineup, man, I tell you that. I mean it's We've
14:31
got some big time heavy hitters that people, you know, some local folks,
14:35
some regional folks, and some nationally in world right now, people like
14:39
Confederate Railroad, like Kentucky head hunters that are going to be there. What
14:43
exactly is the musical lineup? So we're gonna be kicking things off tonight with
14:46
the Esquires. They are popping everything off on this amazing Thursday. We've got
14:52
the Vandal band Best of Oneona, which is a Oneono Jedd tribute band.
14:56
And I'll tell you that is one thing that I've heard more about than anything
14:58
else. People love the Juds. I'm from Kentucky, so I'm a Jet
15:03
fan myself. Yeah, mandatory in Kentucky Weretory in Kentucky. We all think
15:07
we're related to them or Billy Ray Cyrus in one way or the other.
15:11
I chose to go the Judds path. I think I chose wisely, So
15:13
we're gonna go with that. So aswere is. Actually tomorrow night, we've
15:16
got the Blues Brothers John Ellison Carpenter Aunts, which amazing local group that everybody's
15:22
familiar with. You're very own Woody Woods. It's gonna be spinning some tunes
15:26
for us. On Saturday or on Friday, we've got Charlie Brown Coasters,
15:30
Polly and the Grease Balls, which may be the best name for a band.
15:35
That's the Golden Oldies Night. And then on Sunday we are finishing everything
15:39
out, like you said, Confederate Railroads cap in the evening off. We've
15:41
also got Sole Moments and the wing eating contest, which will be the most
15:46
highly contested battle outside. And I've got the full lineup and there have been
15:50
some additions to them. I'm gonna go over that a little bit later on.
15:54
But getting back to the food, getting back to the visit. One
15:58
of the great things I like about about rib Fest again, as you said,
16:00
there's that local element in there. There always has been with rib Fest
16:03
at all, twenty three years of it. But then you go and you
16:07
look and you look at the at the people and where they come from,
16:11
and they've all, you know, generally speaking, got their banners out there.
16:12
If it says we won this in North Carolina, we won this in
16:15
Texas, we won this, I mean, these are some These are some
16:18
heavy hitters that come here. Aaron, Oh, absolutely, uh. And
16:22
they know how to cook ribs. They're all smoked ribs. Last night they
16:26
put all their smokers to work. And you know, the smell that I
16:30
was walking up and down the boulevard, the smell of those ribs cooking,
16:34
it was just mouth watering. Yeah, And it would not be possible without
16:40
the sponsors, and the sponsors make it all happen. So we've gotta,
16:42
you know, we gotta, as they used to say, the old cliche
16:45
was paused for the cause. But you've got to give them an opportunity.
16:48
You've got to go. One of you guys are gonna have to throw out
16:49
the sponsors there, so make sure we get them all in there, all
16:52
right, Leave that one up to Aaron. But yeah, it's all about
16:56
the sponsors. It's all about the community members that come out and they support
17:00
their own and have a great time. While Danna, I also want to
17:02
throw in if you were worried that we are not aware that there is a
17:06
football game on Saturday. There is. I know I've heard about it,
17:10
not sure, something called the backyard Brawl. I've been hearing Sweet Caroline in
17:12
my dreams and I don't know why. But we've got it covered. So
17:17
you don't have to hang out at home, you don't have to go to
17:18
to Morgantown. We have got the biggest tailgate this side of Morgantown going on,
17:23
Aaron, you want to talk a little bit about what you guys have
17:26
set up for the w game. Sure, So, we got a twenty
17:29
foot LCD screen that's going to be set up on the boulevard on Saturday,
17:32
and our goal was to have the biggest tailgate outside of Morgantown for the game
17:37
on Saturday. We're going to be selling some great T shirts for everybody to
17:40
wear for the game. We'll be setting up a special beer tent next to
17:42
the next to the screen, and we hope to have a bunch of people
17:48
out to watch the game, eat some ribs and have a few refreshments.
17:49
Now, Explain how the beer tent is going to work, because that's something
17:52
I think, I mean, I mean, it's obviously it is a tent
17:56
that's kind of separate from everything else. Explain how that'll work. Well.
18:00
Obviously, we'll be selling beer at the at the event, so we'll have
18:04
Spriggs distributing, Miller Light, bud Light, Mountain State Brewing all at our
18:11
event. We have five or six different stations throughout the boulevard to get around.
18:15
Plenty of other drinks too. Of the non alcoholic variety of Pepsi was
18:18
a big sponsor this year, so we'll be selling pepsi this year as well.
18:22
And there's usually I don't I mean, based on a year's pastors,
18:25
usually somebody selling something other than SODA's too, like a lemonade or something like
18:29
that. Did use somebody frozen lemonade, regular lemonade, iced tea, all
18:33
that good stuff. Quantum Sports one of the sponsors there, Polka, Valley
18:37
Bank, Optimum, West Banco, Gil Martin. Of course, we're a
18:41
big part of that too, the stations, the WVRC media, and we're
18:42
proud to be a part of that. And Morgan. The weather looks fantastic.
18:48
He did a good job on the weather, Davi. You know,
18:48
I called in a lot of favors. Yeah, there might have been some
18:51
blackmail involves, but mother Nature is on our side. Knock on every surface
18:55
in this station. But the weather is looking absolutely amazing for the next four
18:59
days. If you get the meat Sweats, you'll be cooled down. It's
19:02
gonna be just fine. I'm telling you. We are making names of bands
19:06
the Meat Sweats, but I feel like that could be a whole show and
19:08
in of itself, you know, two cats in a bag. I don't
19:11
know. We have plenty of ideas for band names. But yeah, I
19:14
mean, there's truly something for everyone. And you don't have to walk far
19:17
to have a lot of different types of entertainment. Like Aaron said, we've
19:19
got the game going on on Saturday. You can also watch live music while
19:22
that's happening. You've got your kids with you. We have the entire Kids
19:26
Zone. Let me interrupt the Kids Zone talk about what's going to be going
19:30
on in the Kids Zone. So the Kids Zone has over twenty different rides
19:33
and inflatables presented by Quantum Party Rentals. So lots of things for them to
19:37
jump around, bounce around on, have fun, get out all of that
19:41
energy so you can enjoy the rest of your evening. We've got a petting
19:44
zoo and I think there's also gonna be a dinosaur there. Do you want
19:48
to talk a little bit about that. Yeah, we're gonna have the dinosaur
19:52
experience. So we have a huge t rex that comes in and we'll be
19:56
going up and walking up and down the boulevard. It actually looks like a
20:00
real dinosaur, so it would be a photo opera. Give us the hours
20:03
again, Well, we'll be open for lunch today from eleven to two,
20:07
all right, so let me let me jump in there. So you people
20:10
in downtown Charleston with all do I mean we have with great businesses deep downtown
20:12
Charleston, but sometimes you'd like to have something a little bit different than you
20:15
can't get every day. So so if you're listening to us in one of
20:18
the law offices of the banks or something in downtown Charleston, you are open
20:22
for lunch today. Yep. We're open for lunch today and tomorrow, Thurs
20:26
Friday, Okay, and then the event opens all that, the whole event
20:30
opens on Thursday and Friday at four and runs still ten and then Saturday we're
20:33
open from eleven to ten and Sunday we're open from twelve to nine. All
20:37
right, so let's talk about this wing eating contest. And this is gonna
20:41
be Sunday, Is that right? Sunday at six o'clock. We got Major
20:42
Harris coming in. Yes, so we've got Yeah, we've got Major Harris.
20:47
We have another WVU legend, and Avon Coburn. I think that's gonna
20:51
be a part of It's going to be part of it. Kenny Bass,
20:55
last year's champ, Brian Oxley. I was actually at rib Fest there of
21:00
last couple of years, and I don't remember. And Aaron you may know
21:03
this. You remember exactly how many wings he ate and what the timeframe was,
21:07
do you remember, because I don't. I do not remember. I
21:10
was actually, but it was a whole heck of a lot of wings.
21:12
I think that's the official number. Came in second. And he is gunning
21:17
this year. Okay, he's been training. So you got Major Harris,
21:22
you got, as I said, Kenny Bass, you had Avon Coburn.
21:23
You've got Brian Oxley, who was last year's winner Anthony Lewis is going to
21:27
be part of it. Jim Strawn, Uh, the underdog, I think
21:32
yeah, I said that on the show yesterday, with all due respect to
21:33
Jimmy, with respect, I'm like, okay, but I'm here for him.
21:38
I'm gonna I'm gonna for him. I'm here for him. I'll be
21:41
the wom beneath his wing. And and a couple of our folks here from
21:48
eleven eleven we got Woody Woods. Yeah, who's gonna be a big part
21:51
of this thing anyway, Because you said he's gonna be performing, He's gonna
21:53
be performing. So he's warming up on Friday and then he's eating on Sunday.
21:57
And also, my good exactly what Rob is doing? Uh with this?
22:03
You know, Robin's been with us for a couple of months. He
22:04
actually was here before and then the left and came back. Robin's got this
22:08
thing going with his hair and and he's been growing it out and he's been
22:12
he's been a big social media thing. And there's gonna be something happen with
22:17
Rob's hair at rib Fest. At rib Fest, He's doing something with rib
22:22
Fest. And maybe I'll get him on the show to talk about him.
22:25
But if you follow Rob on social media and you follow KWS our sister or
22:30
Superstar Country Sister station, Rob's got this long, flowing like curly hair and
22:36
he's been growing it out, and he's been promising that he's going to do
22:38
something special at rib Fest. As it relates to the hair, the hair
22:42
won't be anywhere near the food. So you got the wing eating contest.
22:48
What does the winner get? Just the championship or big old trophy? About
22:52
that big yeah? And some man, some pepsin or some man asked something,
22:55
right, maybe I think we all know bragging rights. Oh yeah,
22:57
I mean three hundred sixty four days of bragging rights until next year. And
23:03
if Avon's coming for it, I mean I'm interested what he's already talking about
23:07
it. He's been talking already about it. And but you get these other
23:10
folks that are in there, and don't underestimate Kenny Bass. I'm not underestimate
23:12
anybody. I think it is anybody's game. This is going to be a
23:15
more heated contest in the backyard brawl. It may it may very well be.
23:19
So what kind of work goes into this? This is your your first
23:22
year as part of this are there's a whole lot of work that goes into
23:26
a big old event like this. There is a tremendous amount of work,
23:30
actually more work than I realized. I mean, from organizing the sponsors,
23:34
organizing the vendors, all the licensing, all of the city licensing, all
23:40
the Health department licensing, all of the inflatable licensing, setting up the actual
23:45
layout to set up day, and getting all the vendors on the same page
23:51
so that you have a successful event and all the equipment is there that you
23:53
need. Is is definitely a huge undertaking. You know, we've been throwing
23:57
parties for people through Quantum Party Rentals for years, so this was our first
24:03
chance, you know, to throw our own party to kind of thank you
24:07
City of Charleston for the years of support with our businesses and come down.
24:11
There's no charge this year. You pay for your ribs. Sure, yeah,
24:15
you gotta pay to get into the fund zone for your kids, but
24:18
come down, listen to music, enjoy yourself, forget about your troubles,
24:22
you know, and let's have a part. So if you're looking for again
24:23
free entertainment, we can't give you the ribs for free. We can't give
24:26
you the kids zone for free. But if you want to come down,
24:29
I mean when when else are you going to get the opportunity to come down
24:33
and see a group like you know, Confederate Railroad, Kentuckie Headhunters. Then
24:36
why I own attribute all these others that you mentioned absolutely free of charge.
24:38
Yeah, it's absolutely free of charge. It's on the boulevard. And I
24:41
know that you started I think yesterday and trying to get ready way you started
24:45
a long time ago getting ready, But I'm talking about logistically on site.
24:48
I think it was yesterday with the closing down some of the streets, and
24:51
we want to make sure people realize if they are coming into Charleston to work
24:55
or to shop or doctor's appointments or whatever, that there are some street closures
24:57
associated with this. But it'll all be over here in a couple of days
25:00
and it's going to be worth it, as I said, to get all
25:03
these people, and any estimate on the crowd what you'd like to see.
25:04
I know you, I know you're gonna say a millionaire, but I mean,
25:07
I mean any any any crowd estimates here. I mean, if we
25:11
could get forty thousand people there, I would be super excited. Yeah,
25:15
I mean, I think it's totally doable. I don't know why you could.
25:18
We have a text or somebody said, please try your best to sink
25:21
the video with Tony Kariti. So we'll we'll try try to work that out.
25:26
They want to play by play of Tony Kariti. Yeah, text says
25:30
that the wing contest is the wing contest about how many you can get or
25:33
how hot you can go. Now it's about the volume, right, the
25:36
volume we're going for quantity. Yeah, it's not about the heat or anything.
25:40
I do like that idea concept. I mean, yeah, you could
25:45
do something like that maybe in the future. Maybe do you know who can
25:48
stand the hottest with? Of course that's going to involve attorneys and and contracts
25:52
and things of that nature. Waivers being right now on your Facebook page,
25:56
your website, what's the best place to follow all the So we're pretty active
26:00
on Facebook. We're gonna be doing some live videos down there today to give
26:03
everybody a little insight of what they can expect and what you can look forward
26:07
to. You can also find us on wvrebfest dot com. We've got the
26:11
full lineup, schedule of activities, everything that's going on there. But yeah,
26:15
Facebook is a great way to follow us Charleston WV Robfest. We're going
26:18
to have all the updates, all the information and a little behind the scenes
26:22
peak at what's happening today through Sunday, all right, and give us the
26:25
hours again. So today we're open for lunch. We're opening at eleven,
26:30
will be open from eleven to two, and then again this evening until ten
26:33
pm. We're open this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Aaron, what is
26:37
it Saturday and Sunday that our hours are. Saturday is going to be eleven
26:41
to ten at night and Sunday will be one o'clock tonight at night. All
26:45
right. Again, the activities that we're talking about are free. The food's
26:48
not free, but the activities are. So there's not a charge to get
26:51
in to bring the entire family down. If you would just want to come
26:53
in and take in the concerts or whatever, we want you to buy the
26:56
ribs and all the sides and everything that goes. But but you know,
26:59
we don't have to food items available there too. It's not just about barbecue,
27:02
oh absolutely. I mean, if you want to come down and have
27:03
world class cheesecake, you want to come down and have Zul's frozen drinks.
27:08
If you want to come down and have Oshe's Asian cuisine. You know,
27:14
there's gonna be all kinds of different cuisines to choose from. We have Cosumel
27:18
bringing in the Mexican cuisine, really anything you could possibly want. And again
27:23
that the fact that w VU and PIT just happens to fall on that Saturday
27:27
night. This is if you're not going to make it to Morgantown, forget
27:30
about, you know, watching it in a sports bar, forget about watching
27:33
it at home or whatever. Come down here among you know, at that
27:37
particular night, maybe ten thousand of your closest friends and watch it on the
27:40
big screen down there. That's gonna be pretty good stuff. And enjoy some
27:41
great food along the way as well. And again, Quantum Sports Center,
27:45
hats off to you guys, you know, for doing this, and Quantum,
27:48
you just did a fantastic job. Poke Valley Bank, Optimum, West
27:51
Banco, Gomart and the station's w VRC medi We are certainly proud to be
27:56
a part of this, We really really are. It's gonna be gonna be
27:59
great stuff. Check them out on Facebook for more information. Aaron I appreciate
28:02
you being here, Morgan. Always a pleasure to have you as well.
28:04
We'll be looking forward to your videos that you'll be doing from there. Tell
28:07
us all about it. Tell me if I have barbecue on my face,
28:11
Nah, I'm not going to do that. I'm gonna say it. Look,
28:12
I must say it looks fine whether you whether whether you're covered being barbecue.
28:17
You know, if you've got barbecue on your face, that's a sign
28:19
of a successful event. Yeah, in a good day. And don't wear
28:22
your white shirts. That's probably not a good idea. Do not wear a
28:26
white shirt to this day because it's not it's not a successful rib event.
28:30
If you don't come home with barbecue on you. You gotta do that.
28:33
And let me mention this too before we let you guys go. I'm presuming
28:37
that all these vendors are going to have to go orders available as well,
28:40
right, because that's generally what they do. Yeah, you want to come
28:42
down for a lunch today, you only have fifteen twenty minutes. You come
28:45
in, you grab your lunch you had back and eat it at the office.
28:48
You know, we want you to stay and enjoy the entertainment and enjoy
28:51
the gorgeous weather, but if you're on a time crunch, we can take
28:52
care of you all right. Guy's best to love as well Aaron and Morgan.
28:56
Always pleasure to talk to you both, and good luck with everything this
29:00
weekend. Thanks guys. Rib Fest is going on one of the many activities
29:04

29:10
going to be opening around lunch time, so go down there and get you
29:12
some get you some stuff. Although if you go down and you get like
29:15

of people. I mean, forty thousand people. That's that's pretty good if
32:49
they can get that over the next couple of days into weather, as I
32:51
said, looks absolutely fantastic. I think there was a like a slight chance
32:53
of a shower maybe popping up over the weekend, but over the next couple
32:57
of days, man, especially, it's gonna be gonna be nice. And
32:59
they did ask me to mention again that they are going to be open for
33:01
lunch today at rib Fests. So again, if you're one of the folks
33:05
and we have great, great dining opportunities in downtown Charleston, don't get me
33:09
wrong, but sometimes even owned something a little bit different. It's not every
33:13
day that you can get ribs, you know, that are that are prepared
33:15
by people from all over literally all over the country. So they asked me
33:20
to mention that they will be opening up for lunch down there. So if
33:22
you're one of the folks that works downtown and you're looking for something just a
33:24
little bit different, something out of the ordinary that you can't get every day,
33:29
we want to go down and check out to lunch today with the folks

two thirty Texas. It's so nice we can celebrate an unelected bureaucrat whose political
33:59
connections enable them to receive the power to tell others what to do. So
34:04
be it, so be it. So let's talk a WVU for a moment.
34:08
No, I'm not talking about the backyard brawl. The governor yesterday said
34:14
he supports the so called budget tightening at West Virginia University. Belt tightening,
34:19
I think was the term that he used. The governor went on to say
34:22
that he has quoting now all the confidence in the world in WVU President Gordon
34:30
Gee, and we're talking about this forty five million dollars in deficits, with
34:36
many experts saying that that could raise to as much as seventy five million dollars.
34:43
So as it stands, right now. The Board of Governors are due
34:49
to meet at ten thirty this morning, and there will be a public comment
34:52
period as part of all that I understand now. Tomorrow morning, at nine
34:59
the Board Governors will gather again, and as I understand that, that meeting
35:05
will include a vote on final recommendations on what officials at WV are calling academic
35:13
transformation. The board could look at cutting as many as one hundred forty seven
35:21
faculty positions and up to one hundred and thirty academic programs. So who exactly
35:30
are the Board of Governors, Well, there are several and there are some
35:34
names that are familiar. Brad mcahanny points out at the story at WV metronews
35:38
dot com leads stories a matter of fact, when you go there, Charlie
35:44
Capita, who's the husband Senator Shelley Moore Capito and the father of Delegate and
35:50
gubernatorial candidate More Capito, have more, more and more if you will,
35:53
coming up in a couple of moments. He's part of it, not more
35:57
capital. I'm talking about Charlie Breakcare. He formerly a media mogul here in
36:02
West Virginia with several media holdings, including locally at one time WOWK TV thirteen
36:09
and at one time a trusted advisor to the governor. Just a few of
36:15
the people that are are on board now now some Democrats in the legislature want
36:22
the governor to call a special session to deal with all of this delicate John
36:29
Williams from mon County was one of those, and he was on Hoppy talking
36:35
about it yesterday. So it's going to be a busy two days as it
36:39
pertains to this huge story. And I know there are those I'm talking to
36:45
somebody that I said, I'm so sick of hearing about WU. Well,
36:49
you know, this is the land grant institution for the stay of West Virginia,
36:52
and what has happened there is indicative of problems in higher education across America.
36:59
And as and I've said, and I've talked to everybody on both sides
37:01
of the aisle, both sides of the story, people with different opinions,
37:05
they all agree the entire country literally is watching what goes on with the story,
37:10
at least the entire country as it pertains to higher education. Because the
37:15
problems that are going on at WVU are not exclusive to West Virginia University.
37:22
They are happening at universities across America fore and there's various reasons why, and
37:28
there's been plenty of finger pointing to go along. And this group did it
37:31
and it's Gordon Gey's fall or this girl. I mean, there's a lot
37:34
of blame to go around. But this story is getting nationwide attention as it
37:39
because they're facing the same things in other states as it pertains to higher education
37:45
as well. So Brad mclahanny is always on top of the story and he'll
37:49
be covering it exclusively, well not exclusively, but in depth, I should
37:52
say, at WV metro News dot com and all the social media sites as
37:59
well, so you want to definitely follow along with that. Speaking of delicate
38:07
Capito, as I was earlier, he was on with Hoppy yesterday and he
38:10
says he will endorse and support Governor Justice who wants to be Senator Justice.
38:20
Brad with a story posted WV Metronews dot com and you can actually on the
38:23
when you go to the web page, you can actually listen in case you
38:25
missed a listen to a clip of the audio as part of the Brad story
38:30
that he posted, among other superlatives about the Governor Moore, Capito called Governor
38:37
Justice, lifelong West Virginian referred to him, which is true, lifelong West
38:42
Virginian much like himself. I thought it was interesting the way he chose that
38:47
warding to say, like myself, Jim Justice is a lifelong West Virginia.
38:52
That is a not so subtle jab at Congressman Alex Mooney and probably probably a
39:01
little jab at one of More Capital's opponents for governor, at being Attorney General
39:07
Patrick Morrissey. But the interesting thing to look at here is did Jim Justice
39:15
then endorse More Capital for governor? Well, no, he says he has
39:21
nice things to say about More Capital, but he says he will endorse a
39:24
candidate at some point, the candidate that will take his job as governor.
39:30
But he's not ready to do that just yet. And keep in mind,
39:35
folks, that it's only September. It used to be, as you've heard
39:40
me say before, all this political talk for the next year started at Labor
39:45
Day. It looks like Steve Williams maybe the only one the Huntington mayor that
39:49
adhered to that, that announced his run on the Democratic side for governor on
39:52
Labor Day at the at the UMWA picnic and racing. He's the only one
39:57
that really followed that old, that old unwritten rule, if you will,
40:00
about not getting things going until Labor Day. The others have already been out
40:06
out raising money and shaking hands and kissing babies and doing whatever else it is
40:10
you have to do to get elected. These more more about raising money than
40:14
it is babies and hands. I can tell you that. But we had
40:16
a lot of positioning to go between now and them. Phone calls to five
40:21
and ey Libra's service of Biggley Pigley Wiggly. When you shop at your locally

Piggley Whiggly the best kept secret in Charleston. Texting services provided by Fruit Pharmacy,
40:38
your hometown Family Pharmacy text says when was the last time the judge Abraham
40:44
represented a client at a trialing court and took the case to a verdict.
40:47
I do not know, but I will I'll look into that. I don't
40:52
know. Texted. I agree with the texture about the judge, and I
40:55
think that was the one that talked about unelected bureaucrats. I mean, it's
41:00
just the way the system is set up. It's just the way it is.
41:05
Tech says, why is it always rich people get on these boards and
41:08
public service commission? Who's looking out for the middle class and poor? I
41:13
think this is why these schools are in the shape that they're in, just

Now it's actually not being held down there, it's actually being held I understand,
44:30
huh in Nitro on Saturday. But they're kind of tying it in with
44:35
rib fests again, proving that these things are not just about one town or
44:38
one particular community. So he wanted us to UH to remind you, and
44:43
you could simple Google search will be able to find that it's the first annual
44:46
uh rib Fest tournament. And Todd File who put on the nine to eleven
44:51
tournament. According to what John told me, H the nine one one tournament,
44:53
I should say is UH is the one that's doing this. Will be
44:55
in Nitro on Saturday, UH little program we note about tomorrow's show. Of
45:00
course it's Friday Funhouse, which means we'll have Hannah Gardener from the Canal Charleston
45:04
New Main Association with our doot me please pet of the Week. So many
45:07
things going on this area this weekend. We don't want to forget that this
45:09
is the final weekend for the Charleston Dirty Birds at home. They've been out
45:15
on the road. They're coming back to go Mark Ballpark with games Friday,
45:17
Saturday and Sunday. Are good friend Douglas is going to stop by to talk
45:21
about that and some of the things that are going to be going on during
45:23
the off season over at the ballpark and also tomorrow. My special guest toast
45:29
is a gentleman that is certainly no stranger to this building here at eleven eleven
45:34
Virginia Street, easton Charleston, and to this microphone in this room, Rick
45:37
Johnson. Rick, of course, somewhat of a legend in the world of
45:42
broadcasting. He crossed over, as Morgan Robertson said, he crossed over to
45:45
the dark side. He's not doing radio. He's doing television now with our
45:49
good friends over WWK. But Rick Johnson is going to return to the airwaves
45:52
radio airwaves tomorrow to co host this show. We have a new member of
45:59
the House of Delegates, the governor yesterday announcing that former delegate and media scumbag
46:04
Jeff Campbell will be the new delegate for the forty six district out of Greenboro
46:07
County. The former holder that see Mike Conacher stepped down with the governor appointed
46:13
him to be the new Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security. I
46:16
say media scumbag about Jeff Campbell because he's a very very good friend of mine,
46:21
and he's part of this fake news media that we're all a part of
46:23
here, as some candidates for governor have alluded to. He's a radio guy
46:30
down in Greenbrook County. Also an educators, also a teacher, and he
46:34
has been closely associated with sports down in Greenboro County and also part of the
46:38
WVU sports broadcast. As what SoC the grand plan of us, all of
46:45
us here in the world of fake news. Eventually we just take over state
46:50
government. See I mentioned a couple of days ago that the general manager of
46:54
this company, the Charleston branch of WVRC Media, Joe Parson, is going
46:59
to be running for house, replacing Steve Westfall in Jackson County who was not
47:02
going to seek reelection. Said he's gonna run for Jackson County Commission. So
47:07
we have Jeff Campbell in and we get Joe Parsons in, and slowly our
47:12
plan is coming together that the media actually controls state government. As they said,
47:19
it is a big diabolical plan of all of us fake newspeople to come
47:22
in here. And I'm gonna next announce my intentions for twenty twenty four.
47:29
Of course, I'm kidding about all this at least, well at least about
47:31
the media takeover in my involvement. But congratulations to my old friend media scum
47:37
back Jeff Campbell, who we all referred to in the business as Soup.
47:42
Great guy served in the House of Delegates before, and he has been appointed
47:45
to that position. So congratulations to Soup Campbell. Somewhat bizarre story yesterday happened
47:54
around this time Assistantville High School. Jared Lewis story posted wv metro News dot
47:59
com. Cana County Sheriff's Department has a fifteen year old kid in custody for
48:02
trespassing at Sistonville High School. Deputy's called to the school around this time yesterday
48:08
morning for a call of a suspicious person at the school of the school went
48:13
on lockdown. Now the kid had been had been a student Assistantville, but
48:17
was expelled and was now attending this Chandler Academy school. Deputies at the school
48:23
in a matter of minutes looking for the kid, who was reported by students
48:29
and staff to be in a restroom or a classroom at the school. No
48:34
students were harmed, no weapons were found, just kind of apparently just showed
48:37
up as his old school and so again. Jerry Lewis has got the story
48:42
posted at wv Metronews dot com. I talked about Ribfest earlier and so many
48:47
other things going on to the Canal Valley this weekend. I got a note
48:51
from my friend David Fletcher, who's the mayor of Bell about their cruise in
48:54
and car show which is happening Friday and Saturday. Cruise in tomorrow night from
48:59
four tool nine. This is at eleven hundred East DuPont Avenue in Bell.
49:04
The car shows Saturday morning starting at nine am. All these vehicles have to
49:07
be registered, I understand, Dave tells me by noon, and they got
49:12
a fifty fifty going on. They got music. Also, the Dunbar Fall
49:15
Festival is weekend. So certainly if you ain't got nothing to do, that's
49:20
on you, because there are a lot of activities that are going to be
49:23
going on in the Canal Valley this past weekend. And in the middle of
49:28
this there's a ball game in Morgantown. Two text us with Judge Duke Bloom
49:32
retirement, who will now take over the case with former Chapmanville police officer Dudley
49:36
in the case of the missing canine officer Chase. Yeah, I'm assuming again
49:42
you shouldn't assume, but I am presuming Stephanie Abraham will now take that case.
49:45
I guess that's the way that works. Again. Not an attorney don't
49:47
even play one on TV. Wasn't even allowed to watch People's Court, so
49:52
I'm not exactly sure. I'll try to get an answer to you that all
49:54
right. My thanks to Stephanie Abraham for being here, and also Aaron and
49:58
Morgan and folks from rib Fest gets underway today. Go down and have lunch
50:01
on the boulevard head at Riverfront Park for rib Fest and runs through this weekend.
50:06
Coming up. As I said tomorrow on the show, guest host,
50:07
radio legend turned TV executive Rick Johnson's going to be here Hannah Gardner from the
50:12
Canal Charleston, Maine Association with our dot me please pet of the week,
50:15
final weekend for the Dirty Birds eating Douglas here. Talk about that. Plus
50:17
we've got some things related to the Mothman Festival to talk about tomorrow as well.
