3:35
me welcome in. Had a gardener with ourdopmy Please put it the week from
3:38
the Canal Charleston Humane Association. Hannah, good morning, welcome to the show.
3:43
Good morning. How are you? I am doing fine. We haven't
3:46
talked in a while. I mean we didn't have a show last week because
3:47
of the fourth of July holiday, and I think maybe you may have been
3:51
away before that. So how have you been. I've been great. I've
3:55
been great. How have you? I'm doing fine? Are you? Are
3:59
you remaining keeping all the animals cool up there as well. Oh yeah,
4:02
we're doing our bet all right. So let's get to our pet of the
4:05
week. As always, we have the picture posted on Dave Island Radio and
4:09
Facebook and at Dave eight seventy on x. The artist formerly known as Twitter
4:14
Gravy. You know, I love that Gravy is our pet of the week
4:17
this week. Tell us all about Gravy, all right. Well, he
4:23
is a very very handsome dog. He is around three years old. He's
4:30
a bigger dog, so he's right up my alley. I wish I could
4:32
take him, but I already have so many. He is fifty like fifty
4:38
six and maybe pounds, which, of course that is probably the biggest he's
4:43
gonna get where he is three years old. However, I guess it depends
4:46
on how you see him. Like the rest of us, it depends on
4:50
if you give him gravy or not. Yeah, but he's a sweet,
4:55
sweet sweet boy. He's very friendly. We consider him a social butter at
5:00
the shelter, which just kind of insinuates that he's good with everything that we've
5:03
noticed. So he does prefer commer dogs. He plays a little bit.
5:09
He likes to play with toys and stuff, but he's not super like rough
5:13
house dog or anything like that. He likes to kind of chill and he
5:17
came in actually because his owner did pass away, so he doesn't have or
5:24
we don't have much information on his background, but we do know that he
5:29
knows how to sick, he knows how to shake, and he knows how
5:30
to speak, so he does have some of those few basic commands already.
5:36
But he chose to be kid friendly from what we have noticed. Of course,
5:42
I always say this every single time because I cannot suss it enough.
5:45
To make sure that you are not leaving your kids and a dog that is
5:50
new to the home alone in the house. That is just for everybody's safety.
5:55
You never know what might be a trigger for a new dog in the
5:58
home, so to teach your kid's boundaries as all as the animals. But
6:02
other than that, he does pool on the leash a little bit, so
6:05
he could use a little work on that, but it's not much. He's
6:09
definitely very very chill, laid back guy. But he's very social, very
6:14
sweet with people, so he's got it all. He's just a good all
6:17
around dog. Any idea what kind of doggy is what breedy is, Hannah.
6:23
I mean, i'd have to say he's got some sort of pity in
6:26
him, some sort of bully or something in him, but it's possible he
6:30
could have other stuff in here. He's very pretty. He's got very pretty
6:33
brown brown eyes that match his first so he's really cute. He's a beautiful
6:38
dog. And again you can see the picture. I've got to post it
6:40
on Dave Alan Radio and Facebook and at Dave A seventy on X. I'll
6:45
remind you that today Violin showing five Dye Live is broad to part by Pinnacle
6:47
Consultants. Poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of health issues like allergies,
6:53
respiratory problems, and more. Pinnacle Consultants are for specialized indoor air quality
6:57
services for residential, commercial, and industry that real type settings. Visit Pinnacle
7:01
Corp dot net because what you don't know can hurt you. I got a
7:03
text waiting on you this morning, Hannah. Your fans are calling. Are
7:06
you ready? Yep? Says how are the Fayette Parvo pup and sister doing
7:13
this morning? She was at risk of being euthanized if no one took her,
7:16
so a huge thank you, and God bless you to all of you
7:18
at the Gnaal Charles and Humaine Association. We are so blessed to have you
7:21
in our community, says the texture the Fayette parvo pup and her sister,
7:26
Hannah. If it's the one that I'm thinking, believe that they are doing
7:31
good and that they're coming right through the whole parvo situation right now, so
7:38
they're on track to being adoptable, I believe. So if you want to
7:43
know more information, if you know what we've named them, you can always
7:46
call the shelter and you can ask about them and we can tell you more
7:49
in depth details about what's going on with their treatment and how they're doing.
7:54
How are the numbers looking at the shelter? I know I saw one of
7:57
the video tours that you had done maybe earlier this week or maybe last week,
8:01
and you had somebody on camera there which is just going through and kind
8:05
of give it a video tour of the shelter, and I mean, you
8:07
know, you got dogs living in offices at that time. You got to,
8:13
you know, anywhere you can find a place. How are the numbers
8:16
looking over all? Hannah? So a cad bit better still housing them pretty
8:22
much in multiple different areas. I know that we've had one that was housed
8:28
in our back office. I think we have one that's housed during the day
8:33
in one of our front offices. But I think that most of them are
8:35
back into kennels and stuff right now. But we're still full, Like the
8:39
kennels are still full. It's just we were able to move the ones that
8:41
were being housed everywhere else back into kennels. So still still looking for people
8:48
to come out and to adopt. Our Bissell specials going on right now.
8:52
So all of the adult dogs captain kittens, they're thirty dollars to adopt.
8:56
That still includes their spay, neuter, micro chip, vaccines, treat or
9:01
flea treatment, and their dewormer as well. Of course, of course we
9:03
always include that, but that is something that is included in the thirty dollars
9:07
if you want to adopt now. I always like to produce your social media
9:11
before we do the segmenta Friday, and you focus just do a fantastic job
9:16
in your social media not only listing the pictures of the animals that are up
9:20
for adoption, but also the other activities you've got going on and I think
9:22
a couple of your team members are hitting the road, is that right.
9:26
Yeah, So we do have some that are at a conference right now,
9:31
so they're kind of just furthering their education. They're also speaking at the conference,
9:39
so they will be talking. I think there's three of them that are
9:41
going to believe it's China and Julie and Sarah, and they are going to
9:45
be presenting holistic approaches for shelter dogs and behavior. So that's going to be
9:50
really interesting. I hope its the video, and I think it usually is,
9:54
but I'm not sure if they'll post it or not, so I'm definitely
9:56
curious to see how it goes. Yeah, and and again, anytime you
10:00
can learn more information and kind of bring it back home, you know,
10:03
that's always a good thing. Also, I want to give a shout out
10:05
and I got this off your social media as well, to the folks at
10:07
Night Owl Tattoo. They're located in Tayese Valley. They're helping you guys out
10:13
with an event next Thursday from eleven to seven. Check this out. They're
10:16
doing some select designs of tattoos next Thursday for only forty dollars and they're also
10:22
accepting donations of purina, dog and cat foods, blankets, towels, cleaning
10:26
supplies and the like. And even if you don't want a tattoo or you
10:30
can't make it there that day, I'm sure they'd be glad to take your
10:31
donations. It's night our tattoo thirty seven fifty seven tays Valley Road and Hurricane
10:37
Patronize these folks. Good people for I don't know anybody there. I don't
10:41
have a tattoo, no, but I want to get one, but good
10:43
people for doing this. And it's just another example of how the business community
10:48
Hannah here in the Kanaal Valley always steps up to help you folks at the
10:52
shelter. Yes, Jess, we're very appreciative of it, and I know
10:56
that with them they did let us know that you don't have to have anointment.
11:00
You can just come in and we will also have some I believe we'll
11:03
have some puppies and maybe some adult dogs. I know we'll have puppies though
11:07
on site there in the parking lot to be able to try to get some
11:11
of those adopted if anybody's interested. But there are definitely some cute designs on
11:15
there, so come on out it's next Thursday, and that's at night out
11:20
Tattoo thirty seven and fifty seven tays Valley Road in Hurricane that since Thursday from
11:24
eleven till seven. Another text for you, Hannah said, would it be
11:26
possible to do some pets in prison programs? Here? Rescue dogs and cats
11:31
help teach inmates trust and responsibility. By bringing rescues and prisoners together in a
11:35
remarkable rehabilitation program, it helps inmates on valuable lessons and reduces the euthanization rates.
11:43
Yeah. So I'm not sure if they're asking if they if we could
11:48
bring some there or not, but we already do a few different prison programs.
11:52
So we send selet dogs out that are approved togure out to the prison
11:56
program when they get taught basic commands. We have a list of them for
12:00
whenever they get adopted, so they'll go to like an eight to ten week
12:03
training program with those prisoner prisoners, And of course, you know, it's
12:07
not just any prisoner. I think it's very specific, sure, but I
12:13
do believe that it's very very good. We have had great success with it,
12:16
and we've been doing it for a few years now, so it's very
12:18
very beneficial. To a lot of the dogs that come back as they do
12:24
learn quite a few and I always tell everybody it's dependent on the dog as
12:26
well. They don't come back knowing every single command. So some do,
12:31
but some of them don't. It's just dependent on how the dog learns and
12:33
how quickly they can take all that information in. All Right, Hannah,
12:37
as always, you guys, keep doing what you're doing. We'll talk to
12:39
you next week. Thanks a lot. All right, thank you, and
12:43
a gardner can on Charlesty main association with Gravy. That is our dog this
12:48
week. Gravy, I've got the picture posted on Dave Allen Radio and Facebook
12:50
and also on my x page the Dave Allen Show or at Dave A seventy.
12:54
Gravy is a three year old male, micro chipped and vaccinated. Not
12:58
fixed yet, but we'll be. He was a surrender when his dog when
13:03
his owner rather passed away. He prefers calmer dogs, but loves people,
13:07
very very kid friendly. Pulls slightly on the lease. I'm sure that can
13:13
be worked with because the dog's already pretty smart. He can already sit,
13:16
he can shake, and he can speak. According to Hannah and the folks
13:20
at the shelters. Seems to be like a very good boy, beautiful,
13:22
beautiful dog. Probably maybe a little bit of pit in him, but he's
13:26
he'd be a fantastic pet for somebody again. He loves kids, loves people.
13:31
Probably somebody with some calmer dogs. He's only three years old. He's
13:35
going to be a pretty good well he's actually probably already or pretty much fully
13:39
grown, but micro chip and vaccinated, ready to go home. So go
13:43
get Gravy. I love saying that, Go get Gravy. We got the
13:46
picture posted on my social media pages, So go check out Gravy. In

26:00
I would urge you to read a story that broke late Wednesday night in the

26:10
yesterday or today. I was told, but it broke on the website Wednesday

27:03
Trump, which is Vice President Trump. Yeah. Yeah, the president's press
27:11
conference yesterday yesterday evening. I watched it about forty five minutes to an hour
27:17
late. Apparently he was on the Gym justice schedule. I guess somebody asked
27:23
me in the hall this morning, they said, what did you watch the
27:26
press conference of What was your opinion of it? It all depends on which
27:29
side you're on. I mean, I watched the entire thing, watched a
27:32
lot of the analysis afterwards from various sources from News Nation to ce an end
27:38
to Fox. I was kind of bouncing around and reading a lot on Twitter
27:41
or AX. I should say, if you are a Democrat and you're a
27:45
Joe Biden supporter, you thought matter of fact, I saw one of one
27:49
of the major Democratic funds saying, the President knocked it out of the park.
27:55
This was the Joe we're always waiting for, we've all been waiting for.
27:57
I was time and and I just look and I say, what exactly
28:03
were you watching last night? First of all, they called it, they
28:07
said it was going to be a big boy press conference. Okay, he
28:11
walks in and he's got in his pocket the people that he's going to call
28:15
on. And if you notice the people, and I don't know how they
28:19
chose who they were going to call on, how the who the how the
28:22
president chose those particular people. But if you look at it, there was
28:30
anyone that has been critical of Biden, whether it's the liberal or conservative press.
28:38
They they weren't asked questions or they didn't get to ask questions. No
28:42
CNN, no Fox, no Wall Street Journal, no Washington Post that I
28:47
saw, no New York Times, Reuter's was called upon Scripts News service.
28:52
There was a few of them, of course. The biggest. The biggest
28:57
thing is is that the president, you know, refer to his vice president
29:00
Donald Trump. Earlier in the day, he referred to Vilenskys as Putin,
29:08
And are these just look I mess up all the time. I have a
29:12
little bit of a speech issue, as my father did as well. But
29:15
come on, I mean, there is no possible way that you can have
29:22
watched that press conference last night and think it's a good idea that Joe Biden
29:27
continues and the Republicans, many of the Republicans are saying, keep him in
29:33
there, we want him, just keep him in there. Absolutely, So
29:38

29:53
I watched it, and it was it was pretty bad. It was
29:57
pretty bad. Was it as bad as the debates? No, was it
30:00
as bad as the as the interview with seven novelists from ABC News last Friday
30:06
night, Probably not, but if they were, in my opinion, and
30:10
again you're speaking to somebody who also doesn't support Donald Trump. So if you
30:15
were looking for that grand moment that says, hey, our guy is back,
30:18
this is Joe, Joe's fine, that wasn't it last night? That
30:23
certainly was not it. And I've got a headline coming across now that said
30:27
now up to seventeen Democrats are asking Joe Biden to walk away. So there
30:34
is that. But Dave Islands showing five dy line brought to you apart by

31:07
anything. I don't know whether that TEXTA is referring to me or referring to
31:12
Biden. I'm not sure, Tix says Dave. What about Trump? Tuesday
31:18

31:22
not married. Another example, again, if you want me to argue with
31:26
you, I'm not going to Donald Trump is unfit to be the president of
31:30
the United States. Joe Biden is unfit to be president of the United States.
31:34
So here we are. That's where we are. And again, if
31:38
people try to catch me up on this by say, well, what about

is which candidate is the least unfit to be presidents. I'm gonna say it's

34:54
Sachs joins us via the Bigley Piggy Wiggly Hotline. Doctor Sachs, good morning,
35:00
Good morning, Dave. Great to be with you today, Great to
35:02
have you here. First of all, I'm gonna ask me. I'm gonna
35:06
get personal. How was the honeymoon? Oh? We had such a nice
35:08
time. Thank you for asking. The food was by far the most memorable
35:12
part. That's what I want to hear. About Let's forget about this higher
35:15
education stuff. Let's talk about the food. What was the highlight of the
35:16
food on your and where did you go and what was the highlight of the
35:20
most I think for me, I actually learned that pasta isn't commonplace throughout Italy,
35:25
that when you're in Venice it's a swamp, and that you should be
35:30
eating food, and maybe that you should be eating some rice and maybe fish,
35:34
and that pasta is a lot more popular as you get to places where
35:37
we actually grow. Yeah, it's kind of the americanized version, I guess.
35:43
So, So pasta was your or what was the favorite food that you
35:46
had? Was you never want to see? Chocolate was first? My favorite?
35:51
All right, we'll leave it there on that chocolate. All right.
35:54
Let's talk about faster faster Fridays. Explain again and you've done it in the
35:59
past is can't have when he's been on the show too Faster Fridays are going
36:01
on? What is fast and what are you doing so FASTA is the free
36:06
application for federal student aid. It's also the baseline application that the State of
36:09
West Virginia asks folks to fill out to be eligible for West Virginia State aid,
36:15
and it's it's a form where you tell the government how much money your
36:19
family made in the last year, and then they award you funds to help
36:23
you pay for higher education. It's like so many government forms, it can
36:29
be really frustrating, and so we've set up a series of workshops and just
36:34
support on Fridays. Really will support students any day that they want help filling
36:37
it out, but we're intentional on Fridays to say come in get help with
36:43
this form because I know when I was a student and tried to fill it
36:45
out, it made me cry, and so we just don't want other people
36:49
to have that. We don't want tears on the college campus. What's the
36:52
timeframe of that that you do that. It's any Friday, come on in
36:57
between nine o'clock and four o'clock. We have some of the and financial aid
37:00
who can help you with it, but we also have staff available any day
37:05
if that's something that you're struggling with and it's really important to get it filled
37:09
out so that you can get some extra help to pay for college. We
37:13
know that it can get expensive for families and we want it to be as
37:15
affordable as possible. That's time we had kent On. That was a couple
37:20
of weeks. We talked about a partnership with Goldman Sachs. The Bridge Valley's
37:22
got talk about that. Yeah, oh gosh, it's so fun. So
37:25
Goldman Sachs has a program that's called ten Thousand Small Businesses where they are committed
37:30
The Bridge Valley's got talk about that. Yeah, oh gosh, it's so
37:35
fun. So Goldman Facts has a program that's called ten Thousand Small Businesses where
37:38
they are committed to helping small businesses grow. They want small businesses to grow
37:44
their revenue and to be able to hire more employees than they have right now.
37:49
And so they started looking about how do they expand their project into rural
37:52
areas of the United States, And they found Charleston, and they found us
37:58
and said, gosh, it would be great if we partnered with Bridge Valley
38:00
to be able to offer us to small business owners in West Virginia. So
38:04
we'll start our first cohort in September. It's completely free to small business owners.
38:09
Goldman Taste for everything, and if you have to come in from farther
38:13
than an hour away, they'll put you up in a hotel for a couple
38:15
of days that you need to be in Charleston for classes. They're really committed
38:20
to helping our small business owners right here in West Virginia be able to grow
38:23
their revenue and grow their team. That's amazing and I'm presuming you have information
38:28
about that available on your website. We sure do. Bridge Valley dot edu.
38:31
Now that this partnership with West Virginia University for aspiring nurses, talk about
38:36
that. So it's WVU Medicine. The hospital system has committed funds to students
38:43
who say, yes, I want to be a nurse, and yes I'm
38:45
willing to work at WVU. And frankly, a lot of our students want
38:50
to work at WVU Medicine. So this isn't a hardship. And what they
38:54
do is they pay students to go to school. They realize that some of
38:58
the obstacles for students are the entry level obstacles, and that means getting through
39:02
the program as opposed to becoming a nurse and then deciding that they want to
39:07
go to work for WVU Medicine. So what WVU Medicine has done is that
39:10
they've gone in and said, let's talk to your students and let's pick some
39:15
of them, and if they're willing to come and say they'll be nurses here
39:20
at the hospital, we're willing to invest in them upfront. And so that
39:22
means that the hospital is paying students five thousand dollars in a semester just to
39:28
go to school and a five thousand dollars signing bonus when they graduate from school
39:31
to sign on and be nurses if they're any WVU Medicine healthcare facility in the
39:37
state, and we definitely need nurses, Doctor Saxon West Virginia, I mean
39:42
with our aging population, and plus, what I love about the program is
39:45
it's healthcare professionals that are going to be staying here. That's true, and
39:51
that's actually something we're really proud about at Bridge Valley is that most of our
39:54
students stay here. That folks who decide they want to go to Bridge Valley
39:59
want to go to Bridge Valley because they're really committed to our community. And
40:02
we're very intentional at the college about designing our programs so that they meet our
40:07
local businesses needs. So we really customize instruction so that if CAMC or WVU
40:14
Medicine says, here's how we need you to teach someone to do an echo
40:19
cardiogram on a heart. We do it the way they want us to because
40:22
they're going to be the employer who hires you. At the end of the
40:23
day. Talk with Doctor Casey Sachs Abridge Valley The Day Valence Show in five

According to USA Today, one in seven children in West Virginia face food
42:39
insecurity issues. Hi, I'm Jason Quintrel, President and CEO of Union Mission
42:45
Ministries. There are some obstacles our children face with access to food, despite
42:49
many feeding programs available. That is why Union Mission has partnered with some local
42:54
middle schools to place food directly into the hands of children who need it.
42:59
Help us remove those obstacles and help feed our kids. Visit Union Mission dot

44:52
Sure, our good friend, mister Joe Stevens, Joe, good morning,
44:54
Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave. Let's go o.
44:59
You had get the baseball reference in there to start things right, just had
45:02
to get it out of the way. Is it going to come down to
45:06
Cleveland and Baltimore in the al in your opinion, it's what I'm thinking,
45:10
and if give me a couple starting pitchers, I feel a lot better about
45:15
it. I get it. We had a few things to talk about in
45:17
Nitro. One of those is we got a bridge closure. Let's talk about
45:21
that fortieth Street bridge, which is a it's right at Second Avenue in Nitro.
45:27
It's a connector between cross Lanes Drive and Route twenty five that was closed
45:34
for resurfacing, complete resurfacing of the deck beginning this Monday, this past Monday.
45:40
And these guys have been working hard, really just I mean getting the
45:45
job done. And it's a it's a West Virginia Department Transportation project, it's
45:50
a regularly scheduled bridge maintenance scenario. But the bridge is total closed, no
45:57
traffic one way either way, and it'll probably be that way until until about
46:02
August twelfth, fourteenth or fifteen, somewhere around there. So I know a
46:07
lot of planning had to go in because you just don't shut down a major
46:09
bridge and a major artery like that. A lot of planning had to go
46:13
into this. We when we saw the signs being erected about six weeks ago,
46:19
that alerted us, right away and we contacted the Department of Transportation to
46:22
find out what their plan was, and we were able to talk to the
46:27
project engineer and he gave us a total rundown of what was going to happen.
46:31
Being that we learned it six weeks out, we were able to start
46:35
to make some contingency plans, especially for emergency responses on fortieth Street, for
46:42
the police, for the fire, for public works, for the Amblance service,
46:46
that sort of thing. So we've and also not only for Nitro,
46:52
but for all the mutual aid areas that come in to help if we have
46:55
something where we need outside help, say from Post or Tyler Mountain or Tays
47:01
Valley or Saint Albans fire departments or the Sheriff's department. So everybody had to
47:06
be on the same page on how to respond. We've reached out to Metro
47:09
nine one one in Canall County and Putnam nine one one, and just everybody
47:15
is on the same page when it comes to if we have to respond in
47:19
that area. And we've also got some things going on this weekend as far
47:22
as some driving situations right yeah, and just to want of them, just
47:27
reassure everybody when those yellow buses start rolling on August the sixteenth in Canall County.
47:35
The bridge. We're being assured that the bridge is going to be done,
47:38
so that so parents out there wondering about bus pickup and everything. Jason
47:44
Redmand, the Department of the school's transportation director, he's been in the loop.
47:50
The yellow buses will be rolling, So just wanted to get that out
47:53
there to Dave. And like you said, this is a one busy weekend
47:57
in Nitro, especially tonight here Friday night, we've got the nine to one
48:00
to one Pickleball serving the public. You know, that's that has already started.
48:07
That got underway at eight o'clock this morning at the Nitro Sports Complex.
48:12
There is a a Nitro Antique Car Club cruise in tonight where we close down
48:19
Second Avenue and we've got just great antique cars coming in and that'll be on
48:24
Second Avenue. But also this weekend we are the host the Nitro Little League
48:31
is the host of the state softball tournament for eight to ten year old and
48:37
we've got one hundred and forty four softball players from around the state coming in
48:42
the Nitro for that tournament that gets underway for play on tomorrow tomorrow morning.
48:47
But tonight at Nitro High School around the track and everything, they're going to
48:51
have a parade with the kids introducing all the all stars and that sort of
48:54
thing. So that's going on also, and we've, like you said,
49:00
two hundred pickball players from fourteen states will be competing in singles, doubles and
49:07
mixed doubles at the sports complex. I tell you what, Johnny Rufffort and
49:10
his crew over there with Metro ninety one to one, they've got it all
49:14
planned out. It's just like I said, exciting weekends, and not only
49:17
an exciting week in Nicro. We've talked about this before, Dave, It's
49:21
an exciting weekend throughout Kanall Valley. You had Jimmy Straw and on earlier talking
49:25
about Live in the Levee. Just a lot of things going on. All
49:29
right, Well, Joe, I wish you the best of luck with everything
49:31
that's going on in Nitro, especially with that traffic situation there with the bridge.
49:36
But you were telling us the bridge will be open in time when the
49:37
younguins go back to school. Right, That's what we're being told, and
49:42
that's our story and we're sticking to it. Hold on one second, I
49:45
got a text here for you. Okay, can you take a teck?
49:47
So the Department of Highways didn't tell Nitro about their project and Nitro had to
49:51
take the lead when they saw signs. No, sir, we were alerted
49:55
to it. But it also the signs gave us a good reminder of it.
50:00
The Communications Department of DOAHS had a couple of months ago said this is
50:07
going to be coming up. Be looking for the sign That was a good
50:09
alert. No, they have been completely open with everything that's been going on.
50:14
All right, Joe, I appreciate it, man, thanks a lot.
50:16
You got it, Dave. Three minutes away from ten and I actually
50:20
had a text from Johnny Rutherford about the piccol eating contest. Ryan. They
50:24
have enough pickle leaders apparently, from what I understand. So the piccol Eading
50:29
contest is the night at six thirty, the community night itself and nitros from
50:31
five to eight with music and swimming and whatever and the and pickleball play.
50:37
Of course, with this big tournament, I mean you got you know,
50:39
I mean dozens of states represented, the top ranked players in the world have
50:44
come in for this thing and the pickle eating contest. Apparently they have enough
50:47
pickle leaders for the contests. So everything is good there. That is at
50:52
six point thirty to night, all going on in Nitro. Well could you

51:44
