Brian Dayton, Vice President, of Polise and Advocacy Well the West Virginia
3:00
Chamber of Commerce. Brian, good morning, how are you, Dave.
3:05
I am well, a great Christmas and right in early Tuesday morning. It's
3:08
great to be on the show again. This is going to be one of
3:10
those weeks where nobody knows what day it is, you know, yes,
3:15
because it's like I've sitt there last night at my house and I looked at
3:19
my wife and I've made some reference to to yesterday being Sunday because I was
3:24
off work, and we're like, no, what day is it? And
3:28
it's not going to be any better next week either with New Year's it's any
3:30
better. But normally when we have you on, we'll talk politics. We're
3:35
going to get that a little bit later on. But I wanted to talk
3:37
to you, Brian, about about commerce in the business community, of the
3:40
business climate in West Virginia. I know it's obviously way too early to get
3:45
a gauge on retail sales and things like that from Christmas, but I mean
3:50
considered it was just yesterday, but you know, I was talking to a
3:52
friend of mine, Brian, who operates a retail store in the valley,
3:54
locally owned place and he said that even in the age of everyone ordering from
4:00
Amazon and other online portals and with the malls and so on and so forth.
4:04
And I was surprised, you're going to say this that twenty twenty three
4:09
was going to be his best year ever in retail. South Now, I
4:13
know that's not the case for every business or business owners right now, ringing
4:15
my hands, ringing their hands, going Dexas guy talking about this was just
4:18
one particular location. But that's pretty that's pretty cool. Nonetheless, I mean,
4:24
that's fantastic to hear, and we are interested to see what those retail
4:28
sales bring in for the especially the holiday season. But I think there's a
4:31
lot of reason to be optimistic about West Virginia right now what's going on in
4:35
general. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of work to still
4:39
do, but we've landed some really big projects coming into West Virginia. If
4:44
you just look at just over the past, not just the past year,
4:46
but the past couple of years. New Course Steel Green Power, which is
4:48
can to be building electric buses here in Kannall County owns a minor mountaintop beverage
4:54
Procter and Gambles a few years ago BEFOM Energy. Last year, you start
4:58
looking at that, we have secured some really big investments in West Virginia.
5:02
And in many of these cases, most of these cases, in fact,
5:04
we were in competition with other states for where people were looking to build.
5:10
And so they're now starting to choose West Virginia and that's a positive. It
5:15
was a couple of weeks ago, was somewhere in the Speaker of the House
5:17
was talking. He said, we now have more potential investments looking to come
5:23
into West Virginia than we have the ability to provide investment dollars for. And
5:27
that's a great scenario because that means we get to start picking and choosing what
5:30
we want. Whereas a few years ago, if you were looking to come
5:32
to West Virginia, like, hey, what can we do to get you
5:34
here? We need you here. Now we can start being a little more
5:38
selective in our investment dollars. So I think there's a lot of reason to
5:41
be optimistic, but there is a lot of work to still be bad make
5:45
sure that we continue moving forward and bringing those opportunities here. And there have
5:49
been people anytime that I have you to come on the show or somebody else
5:54
in the business world, and they'll point to this reason or that reason,
5:58
but the bottom line is they're choosing West Virginia. As you said, now
6:03
you can and like I said, without fail, anytime i'd ever talk about
6:06
this, I'll have somebody that'll text to show and I love my Texters,
6:10
and don't get me wrong, that will text and say, well, this
6:12
is all because of the Biden administration or so on and so forth. There's
6:15
those that believe that, Okay, to a certain extent. However, they're
6:20
choosing West Virginia over Kansas, They're choosing West Virginia over New York, they're
6:27
choosing West Virginia over Pennsylvania. Fall in the state here, Brian. So
6:30
there's something that we're doing right that's making sure that these people want to come
6:34
to West Virginia, you know, And Dave, I think we have some
6:39
advantages as a state that a lot of others don't. For example, we're
6:43
small, which means we're very agile. We're very nimble, you know.
6:46
If you need something to happen here, where, for example, takes the
6:50
legislature to act, it's much easier to be able to get the West Virginia
6:55
legislature together, get them on the same page, and do what needs to
6:59
be done. Then for example, people would be to bring in the California
7:01
House of Representatives or the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has over two hundred members.
7:06
We can be very fast and agile here in West Virginia, and that's a
7:11
benefit. It's also a small state where in some ways everybody knows everybody and
7:15
so it's a lot easier just to pick up the phone and make the connections,
7:18
make those things happen. And a lot of businesses are looking for that
7:21
in this day and age. You know, they're not sitting there trying to
7:25
figure out who do I have to talk to to worry about this permit.
7:28
Well, it's really easy to go ahead and get them plugged in, make
7:30
sure everything's moving and going forward. And as you said, we have a
7:34
long way to go. Brian, again, we're talking with Brian Dayton from
7:38
the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce. But people are moving to West Virginia and
7:42
they're moving to the Kanal Valley. I know that with the Chamber, the
7:46
Youth Senior statewide organization, but you've seen a lot of growth in the Eastern
7:49
Panhandle or in the Morgantown area. But you and I both live in Putnam
7:54
County, and we're seeing people moving to that area yet again, almost like
8:01
it was in the nineteen nineties. I've got tomorrow, I'll have my good
8:03
friend from that area, Rich the realtor client on and they just don't have
8:07
enough houses to go around for people. That it's a good problem to have,
8:11
I suppose, you know. It's about once a week I get a
8:16
text message asking if I'm interested in selling my house out in Putnam County,
8:18
and the answers know if anyone's looking. Right now, we're not looking to
8:22
move, and I'm gonna talk to missus Dayton about that, but go ahead.
8:24
Yeah, she really runs the house. But you know, one of
8:28
the things is we're finally starting to see that we've had more in migration than
8:31
out migration over the past couple of years. Now from a population standpoint,
8:35
we're still exceeding ourselves with more deaths and births. Right, that's a problem,
8:39
But seeing at least the positive numbers on in migration versus out migration has
8:45
been good. Everything that we're trying to do, however, is about bringing
8:50
more people back to the state. Giving that opportunity for when somebody graduates college
8:56
that they can stay here and find a job. Look, I graduated nearly
9:00
twenty years ago from John Marshall High School. When I could go back right
9:03
now and look at the top ten students in our class, and I think
9:07
there's only one that's in West Virginia right now because they had to move to
9:11
Charlotte or they had to go to Columbus or Pittsburgh or Washington, d C.
9:15
To find employment. The goal here is to have those opportunities back in
9:18
West Virginia so that they don't have to make that choice. That our students
9:22
don't have to leave. So I think we're making a lot of pausitive strides
9:26
there. We've really improved our business business climate in West Virginia where ten years
9:33
ago we would have companies that would talk to us and say, there's no
9:35
way I'm going to come to West Virginia. I'm going to get sued into
9:39
oblivion if I come here. We fix those problems. We have really fixed
9:43
a lot of our tax issues here to where it's competitive with other states.
9:46
So those are things that really need to fix, and now that we fix
9:50
them, we're able to start bringing bringing some stuff in all right, So
9:54
again talking to you, Brian Dayton, who is the vice president of Policy
9:56
and Advocacy for the Western Dega Chamber of Commerce. Nine to seventeen. We've
10:01
gone this far, we haven't talked politics yet, so you know, I'm
10:03
sweating over here because it's time to talk a little politics. A couple of
10:07
things. First, news came down midday Thursday that just after he appeared on
10:13
this show, Delegate and Google to Canada More Capital announcing he would resign his
10:18
seat in the legislature to focus on his run for governor. First of all,
10:22
were you surprised by that move? You know, I can't say that
10:26
I was surprised. It was really a question would he stay in or would
10:30
he not? And I can understand it from a campaign standpoint, Saying in
10:35
the legislature means that you're off the campaign trail for sixty days. And it
10:39
also means you have a giant target on your back too, absolutely, and
10:43
then you could do something a little bit you know, controversial, or at
10:46
least you could be painted in a position on a particular bill. I get
10:50
it, but go ahead. Yeah, And so you know, it was
10:52
kind of a question I didn't know whether Delegate Capito would resign or would he
10:56
not. He's been a fantastic chairman of the Judiciary Committee. From that point,
11:00
we saw that was a loss, but you know, he's ultimately leaving
11:03
the legislature regardless after this next session, because he's up or out. He
11:09
either wins the primary or he's out altogether right now because delegate terms are to
11:15
your terms. So I can't say it was surprised, but you know,
11:18
that's the choice he's made, and it's going to be a competitive primary in
11:20
May. And I know that you folks with the Chamber have been doing some
11:24
interviews with candidates for elections in twenty twenty four. You kind of you know,
11:30
I have a formal or informal meeting with some of the people thinking about
11:33
running for the legislature, just kind of gauge where they are, how those
11:35
have been going. They've been fantastic. We have a lot of really good
11:39
people who are stepping forward right now to offer themselves to public service, and
11:43
that's needed. These are tough jobs. I think a lot of people see
11:50
political jobs and think, oh, that's easy. They're not. You're going
11:52
to be facing a lot of tough decisions. You are going to make people
11:56
mad, You're going to make your friends mad, You're probably going to make
11:58
your family mad on occasion. It's not the glamorous, easy job that a
12:03
lot of people think, but it's so important. We have to have good
12:05
people serving in the constitutional offices. We have to have good people serving in
12:09
the legislature because they are making the decisions that are going to determine whether we're
12:15
going to be able to continue attracting investment to West Virginia attracting those opportunities,
12:18
or whether that drives up, and the policies that are pursued can help determine
12:24
that whether we go forward or whether we go backward. So we've had a
12:26
lot of fantastic meetings people from all walks of life, and it's been I've
12:31
really enjoyed getting to know these candidates. But we're wanting to make sure that
12:35
we have people who want to keep the ball moving forward in the overall goal
12:39
of more jobs, more economic development, more opportunity, better education, to
12:46
really just keep moving us forward so that we can ultimately go back to that
12:50
goal I just talked about of having people stay here in West Virginia if they
12:54
choose I want to talk about endorsements before we let you go. How do
12:56
you, folks with the Chamber make the decision to endor or a particular candidate
13:01
and what are you looking forward in candidates? Sure, so there are a
13:05
number of things. Let me let me break it down. There's incomings versus
13:07
people who are not incomments. Let me just take incombans first. We have
13:11
a very robust legislative scorecard and that scorecard is based on issues that matter to
13:18
the West Virginia Chamber and its members. And our members are located across the
13:22
entire state, all five thousand, and they're in in every industrial sector in
13:26
the state, looking for a better business climate, more opportunity. But that
13:30
scorecard is based on those issues and we pull together several members. It's people
13:35
that are there are people that are very involved at the Capitol, involved in
13:39
the process, and we go through those issues, determine how much they weigh,
13:43
and then what are the interactions like with particular legislators. So it is
13:48
a member driven process, but that scorecard informs a lot of our decision making
13:52
for incoments on whether they get endorsed. When it comes to candidates who are
13:56
not incombents, they don't have a record, So we have candidate questionnaires that
14:00
really just try to find out what do they believe. We're not looking for
14:03
people that are going to agree with us one hundred percent of the time,
14:05
because that doesn't exist. But we're also looking for people who are doing it
14:11
for the right reasons. Why do you want to get into this office.
14:15
Are you trying to go ahead and achieve a particular goal or are you trying
14:18
to go ahead in for a personal reason? And that can be sometimes concerning
14:22
if it's that, or are you trying to go ahead and do it for
14:24
the overall benefit of West Virginia making it a better place to live, work
14:28
and raise a family. So we have those meetings, and really the best
14:33
way to do it is sometimes to sit down and talk to somebody for an
14:35
hour or two hours and just get to know them a little bit. Brian,
14:39
it's always a pleasure to have you on the show. We'll have you
14:41
on again soon. A final question, I guess would be twenty twenty four,
14:46
not talking about the legislative session. I'll talking about politics right now.
14:48
What do you see on the horizon for business in West Virginia in the year
14:52
twenty twenty four. You know, I'm an optimist. I think we're going
14:56
to go ahead and continue to see some growth in West Virginia. I think
15:00
it could be a little bit difficult, just depending on how the markets perform.
15:05
What happens overall with the national economy will affect West Virginia. But I
15:09
think there's a lot of reason for optimism right now. So I'm going into
15:11
the new year with a smile on my face. All Right, Well,
15:13
well, talk to you in the new year. And we'll also be talking
15:18
to you, I'm sure during the session because you're kind of hanging out at
15:20
the capital more than some of the legislators, are you folks there, you're
15:24
always there keeping it eye on. Thanks Brian Dayton again the vice president of
15:28
Policy and Advocacy for the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce. Brian, have a
15:31
happy new year. We'll talk against some of our friend thanks a lot.

zero four nine three five five zero zero eight. Going back to our Alaska,
18:34
we're talking about the business climate of West Virginia in twenty twenty three.
18:37
Text says, as of today is what starts. By Saint Dave. I'm
18:41
a downtown business owner. As of today, our sales are up twenty four
18:44
point eight percent over last year, which was our biggest year ever. For
18:48
the period of Black Friday to Christmas, sales were up thirty two percent over
18:52
last year. Also, our online sales are up fifteen percent over last year.
18:56
Of the retailers downtown had great years two and yes, we collect every
19:02
customer's phone number, and we've added over one hundred new clients who have moved
19:06
to the valley. According to a Texter, well, the Christmas season is
19:10
traditionally a time for movies, but there's one premierre in in the area soon
19:12
that special meanings of the area. Because let's star as a local guy.
19:15
His name is Ashley Stinnett and he joins me now, Ashley, good morning,
19:18
welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave, Merry Christmas, Merry
19:22
Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that stuff. So the film is
19:26
called The Good Fight and it stars you a local guy. We're gonna get
19:30
to your background little later on. Also John Schneider, who will be forever
19:34
known to the seventies and eighties kids like myself as Bo Duke, is in
19:38
the film as well. Give us the whole premise of the film that we'll
19:42
get into how this came to involve a local guy, but just give us
19:45
the whole concept behind the film. Yeah, yeah, thanks for having me
19:48
on this post Christmas survival season. So the movie, this character Luke O'Connor
19:57
is he's one of these guys that just doesn't want to grow up. He's
20:03
like this forever frat type individual. You say that like it's a bad thing.
20:07
I know, right, I know. Yeah. When I read the
20:10
script, I'm like, and I wait a minute, this is eerily familiar
20:12
here to me as the world's oldest frat boy. So fifty three, but
20:18
go ahead, go ahead. So the guy doesn't really want to grow up.
20:22
He used to box. Now he trains boxers. He is like this
20:29
engineer by day, but he has this very hard partying life. He does
20:34
having an alcoholic problem and as a result, he's losing his wife and daughter
20:41
rapidly through a lot of just a series of really bad decisions. And so
20:47
the Good Fight, you know, it's kind of like a double meeting there
20:52
because throughout the movie, the viewers get a chance to see not only his
20:57
fight, but the surrounding cast their fights as well. And it's really a
21:03
unique movie in that it is a boxing movie, but it is a faith
21:06
based movie. So I don't know the official rating, would someone would be
21:11
between PG and PG thirteen, uh, and that maybe that's just because of
21:15
the fight scenes of boxing scenes, But it really is a family film and
21:19
it does start John Schneider. He came up and filmed for about a week
21:25
in the Huntington, Ashland, Chesapeake area, and he plays my attorney in
21:30
the film, who's helping to guide me throughout this process of making a lot
21:36
of bad decisions. I don't want to give away too much of it.
21:40
The deeper I get into, the more I'm gonna give away some of us.
21:44
So you're from Vallette, Yeah, yeah originally. Yeah, how in
21:47
the world there is a guy from Lavallette very involved in the business community in
21:52
the Canal Valley. That's actually where I know you're from. Yeah, how
21:53
in the world do you get involved in a film project like this? Well,
21:57
you know, I'm kind of showing my age here. Over twenty years
22:03
ago, I spent some time in Wilmington, North Carolina. I always wanted
22:07
to be an actor, and I was working down there at Screen Gym Studios
22:10
in Wilmington, and at the time, I was working on a show called
22:14
Dawson's Creek and just really trying to learn the ins and outs of the show.
22:18
Got to do some principal extra work, you know, not nothing too
22:22
major. Came back, finished my degree at Marshall and then would always kind
22:26
of play around with it, you know, I've always done you know,
22:29
some like regional commercial work and just some things like that. But you know,
22:33
would do some short films here and there. But you know, I
22:37
just really got re energized into this about five years ago and it's just been
22:42
full steam ahead. Even before COVID, the industry was changing with self tapes.
22:48
You know, you would get an agent, they would you know,
22:52
casting directors would send companies scripts and then you would get linked up with those
22:56
companies and whatnot. Now there's even online plat forms that you can be a
23:02
part of to get this. So I've just been grinding it out man,
23:06
for the last you know, probably seven years, and been really fortunate enough,
23:11
you know. And these are also the days where you don't have to
23:15
move to LA or New York or Atlanta. You know, again, you
23:18
can get these self tape opportunities. You get a script, you audition,
23:21
you submit it, you get the part, you go there, film and
23:23
you come back. And now and now people are living all over the US,
23:27
they're not even you know, you talk to a lot of these actors
23:30
now they don't live in LA or New York, right, I mean,
23:33
but talk about your background in the business world. I mean, you've done
23:37
a little bit of everything outside of acting in the business world. Yeah,
23:41
yeah, you know, I got my degree at Marshall, ended up getting
23:45
a master's at what's now Wheeling University, and have been involved in higher education,
23:51
been involved in public relations side of things. Yeah, community relations as
23:55
you're an expertise in, and you know, work for nonprofits, work for
24:00
for profits, work for colleges. Uh so yeah, I mean the last
24:06
it's funny because people think, well, you know, you do film or
24:10
TV work. I mean, that must be all you do. And it's
24:11
like, that's less than one percent. You know, less you're you're you're
24:15
Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon. You know that crowd is less than one percent
24:21
every all the rest of us have a real job, a day job.
24:26
Not to say that's not a real job. Yeah, you know, it's
24:27
a it's a it's a great opportunity. You get paid for it. It's
24:32
it's a neat kind of world to live in, a neat atmosphere. But
24:37
you know, with the film tax credit that is now in West Virginia,
24:41
I'm still in that business mindset. So it's weird. You know, I
24:45
shift when I'm when I'm doing this stuff. It's still the acting mindset.
24:48
But it's still the entrepreneurial mindset. How do we get these productions in West
24:52
Virginia to watch? You know, to just add one more conversation to the
24:56
economic diversification table. And there is again we're talking with Ashley Stennett. There
25:03
is a move on to try to get I know you're heavily involved to try
25:07
to get more things filmed in West Virginia via TV shows or be it movies
25:12
or whatever. I mean, that's actually there is a film office, as
25:17
you said, in Westernia. It's actually been there for some time. But
25:18
there's really a concerted effort now to try to get these films done in West
25:22
Virginia. There really is, and it truly is a rising title. It's
25:26
all shit people think movies in the movie industry. You know, we're all
25:30
heavy, heavy consumers of entertainment. I mean, we all have streaming platforms.
25:33
You know, we love to watch movies and TV. But it's still
25:37
a little bit of an alien concept that we have to reprogram ourselves to not
25:41
just be consumers but be producers of this. We can do that right here
25:45
in West Virginia. If you look at what happened with Georgia, you know,
25:48
twenty years ago, it really wasn't on everybody's radar. And now it's
25:52
a multi billion dollar industry. It's masses or Georgia. Yeah, and even
25:56
where I've spent time in Wilmington, and I have since been back to Wilming
26:00
than to work on a feature film. You know, their economy is growing
26:03
because of that. So wherever there's a film tax credit in the industry lives,
26:07
you see an economic boost. Mom and pop restaurants, car dealerships,
26:11
you know, mom and pop hardware stores, plus all of the blue collar
26:15
jobs. And a lot of these jobs don't even require college degrees. And
26:18
what people I think sometimes they think, Okay, a film is being done
26:22
in West Virginia, Well, the actors are going to come in, that's
26:25
it. I mean what it's one hundred hundred and fifty people that come into,
26:27
as you said, build sets, to do makeup, to do catering
26:32
in these sort of things. And those people have to eventually go shopping.
26:36
They're eventually going to go to the restaurants. They're eventually So it's a And
26:38
to your point about Georgia, anytime that you think that Georgia is not a
26:42
major player in this watch any television show. Watch through the credits to any
26:48
motion picture and see if you see that Peach logo that they have it says
26:52
film. I mean even family Feud is for you know, Steve Harvey,
26:56
and that that could be West Virginia. Yeah. I saw this study that
27:00
was done. I think it's maybe two years old now, but it was
27:03
like, of the top one hundred quote unquote big budget films, over ninety
27:08
of them were filmed in Georgia, not even in la And I know that
27:11
when The Good Fight was filming in Huntington. I believe over well over eighty
27:15
eighty five percent of the production crew on that movie. And this is a
27:18
feature link film, I would argue the biggest since we are Marshall. If
27:22
you look at size of cast crew, you know, a celebrities in it,
27:26
the budget, but over eighty five percent of the production crew in that
27:29
movie where Marshall University graduates and I watched local businesses, you know, get
27:34
the benefits of that production happening. And this started during COVID and there was
27:41
a pause in it, so it was filmed incrementally over like two and a
27:45
half years. Yeah. Yeah, I was actually doing little research on the
27:48
film on mind and there was a couple of behind the scenes pictures with people
27:52
with masks on the whole. I started boxing training August of twenty twenty,
27:59
and that was yeah, I mean, that was right in the thick of
28:02
things for COVID. Did you have any experience going into this as a boxer?
28:06
I had none. Zero. It was a shout out to Hella fit
28:11
in Hurricane Jace Heller is the guy that got me in shape, got me
28:15
in fight or form for that movie. I had none, And I did
28:19
learn very quickly that it's hard to make a boxing movie and not get a
28:23
little bit wrecked. So I took some shots, right, Well, that's
28:26
part of it, but I also learned I didn't have a glass jaw.
28:30
Well, it's good to know. Now. The movie is being shown locally
28:34
as a matter of fact, and I think I've got this right. If
28:37
not, you can correct me. It'll be shown at Marque's Cinemas and Huntington
28:41
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and we'll have information posted on that on the
28:45
Dave Island Radio Facebook page. So that's I mean, so people can go
28:49
and actually watch this movie at one of those cinemas, right, They can't
28:52
at Marquie at Pullman. Friday night will be the big kind of like the
28:56
premiere night, you know, the back drop pictures with the cast, things
29:00
like that. And then but if you're in the uh, if you're in
29:06
Putnam County, Tayese Valley Cinemas has now picked up a showing okay, Saturday,
29:11
January sixth at seven o'clock. So if you want to catch that showing,
29:15
or if you're even you know, on this side of Knawa and you
29:18
want to you know, come over to Taes Valley Cinemas. It is going
29:22
to show there. So you'll have the Huntington and Tese Valley showings that weekend.
29:26
Okay, And so is this going to be a widespread release across the
29:30
country? How How are people in other areas to see Church? There's a
29:33
lot of things happening behind the scenes, and I do feel pretty good there'll
29:37
be some good news coming out in the not too distant future. We are
29:41
working on a limited release. I know in North Carolina there's there's some theaters
29:45
all across the state that's going to pick up the movie and then just kind
29:48
of go from there. You know, it's the movie's finished and we think
29:53
folks are really going to enjoy it. And you know, and and it's
29:59
a big deal for the area because it was shot here. You know,
30:03
most of the post production was done in Nashville, but the movie was filmed
30:07
here locally in this area and features some local talent, and we just want
30:15
folks to have that movie theater experience. It's hard to replicate that. I
30:18
mean it is even at the house you got a seventy inch you got your
30:22
bows or your surround sound, it's still hard to replicate a movie theater.
30:26
Yeah, there's nothing like it. And you mentioned that the film is a
30:30
faith based film. That's been a growing genre of motion pictures actually over the
30:34
last ten fifteen years or something. This is an entire industry on these faith
30:38
based films. Yeah, if you look at the popularity of independent faith based
30:42
films, like you know, Sound of Freedom with Jim Cavizl that came out,
30:48
Now, that was a little bit of a different genre, but it
30:51
was one of those that were just it really hit the scene with very little
30:53
marketing and it took off. I think recently the Shift has been playing in
31:00
theaters. Angel Studios has kind of been carving out their own niche for that,
31:04
and you know it does give the audience, uh, you know,
31:08
just an alternative film, just something different and again something that you could take
31:14
the family to and uh, something that has a lot of meaning and and
31:18
a lot of people can relate to, you know it. And that's what
31:22
I think this movie delivers. And for people that you like myself, that
31:27
like boxing in that aspect, I mean it has that in it too,
31:30
got a little bit of everything, got the action to have any Is there
31:33
any sort of like a romantic plot in there because you got to have that?
31:37
Not really, I mean yes and no married, but it's very touch
31:44
and go, Okay. I do think people the journey throughout the movie,
31:48
I do think is very believable. I think people will again can can maybe
31:53
relate to it personally or I'm sure they certainly know someone or know of someone
31:57
that maybe has faced some of these struggles. And the good thing is there's
32:00
multiple back stories at play, so there's a lot of character development. You
32:04
know, it's it's other people in the film are facing their own fight,
32:08
and so I think people will really enjoy that aspect of it. But you
32:13
know, I'm excited and I really do want to impress upon people, you
32:16
know, do some research into the film industry. I mean, I we
32:21
have everything here but the ocean as far as locations, and I do think
32:24
this is a filmmaker's paradise and we could see more big productions. Now,
32:29
this certainly was not, you know, a multi multimillion dollar production, but
32:32
it was a very big production, you know, certainly for this area.
32:37
And we think we can certainly continue with more than that. Well. And
32:42
I think when you look back at some of the films that have either been
32:46
set in West Virginia, Ashley or that have had a West Virginia touch to
32:51
them, I mean they were filmed in like New Jersey, you know,
32:52
the Model Man Stop and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, let's
32:55
Tennessee's let's have that here. I mean, as you said, we've got
33:00
a little bit of everything here, and we can show that West Virginia is
33:02
a beautiful state. Yeah, and we do have a lot, as you
33:07
said, going for everything but an ocean. And uh and we're not far
33:09
from that, to to speak, not too far. No, we're not
33:13
too far. We can make the Canal River look like yeah. So and
33:16
I got and I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about John Schneider
33:20
because again, you're a kid of the seventies, as I'm older than you,
33:22
but a kid of the seventies. You know, Bo Duke was a
33:25
little bit of a hot water last week, did did John Schneider? Uh?
33:30
But uh, that's that not having notwithstanding what kind of guy was John
33:35
Schneider. Oh, he was a very personable guy, very personal guy.
33:40
Now it's unfortunate because not too long after filming wrapped his wife passed. Yeah,
33:50
and you know, so she was battling a major illness obviously, and
33:55
but he was he was really very down to earth, personal guy to be
34:00
around. I mean he yeah, I mean he would just he enjoyed his
34:05
time here in the area. He visited a lot of places, took a
34:08
lot of pictures. Thought it was just beautiful, and you know, he
34:14
was. He was really good to work with, really good to work with.
34:16
And the I didn't realize the fanfare behind him. It was hard to
34:20
keep people away at these locations. I mean it really was. Once people
34:24
learned about not just Dukes of Hazard, but he had like this. He
34:28
has a fan base for Tyler Perry's The Haves and the have nots. He
34:32
was on that show, was like the main villain for years, and then
34:36
he was in Smallville. So it's funny to see all the people that used
34:39
to watch Smallville and they remembered, oh, that Superman's dad and so yeah,
34:45
generation but yeah, and bo do I mean that was obviously, you
34:52
know, a main a main component of the fanfare, certainly in this area.
34:57
But yeah, there's a lot of people that that when realized he was
35:00
in town, they saw they would be at a location or something. And
35:02
because we didn't do a whole lot of the closed set atmosphere, you know,
35:06
we tried to keep it tight, you know, tried to keep a
35:08
walk on stuff. But you can only go so far far. Yeah.
35:12
Yeah. And also he was the he was the mask singer last week.
35:15
I was told that he was. I've never watched the show of the Mask
35:19
Singer, but I heard people in the office talking about it that he was
35:22
unmasked. I guess as the mass singer last week too. Yeah, So
35:24
give us the lowdown on the screenings for the motion picture locally against Yeah.
35:29
So the weekend of the fifth, sixth, and seventh, Marquee Cinemas at
35:34
Pulman Square and Huntington. Friday night's the premiere at seven. You can catch
35:37
the movie Saturday at noon. You can catch the movie on Sunday at four
35:42
pm. Nice little post church family faith based film. Tickets are on available
35:46
online for those showings and then again Tays Valley Cinemas on Saturday, January sixth
35:52
at six at seven pm. The sixth at seven. It's hard to say.
35:58
Tickets available online, and I would encourage folks tickets are you going pretty
36:01
good? So I would encourage folks to get online to get their tickets now
36:05
if they want to see this movie. And you're a local guy up you
36:07
still live here in the area. Yeah, I'm Putnam County. Yeah,

36:15
I appreciate you taking time at your schedule to be here. I know
36:17
you got a lot of a lot of press that you can be doing around
36:22
the area over this. Best luck in future projects, because I have a
36:23
feeling this is not going to I hope it's not going to be the last
36:25
one. I think there's gonna be a lot more come out of this film
36:29
industry in West Virginia. I appreciate you being here too. Thanks a lot.

41:22
are you working today? Obviously I am, Dale Cooper is, but many
41:30
are not. It's kind of weird because you know, today is not a
41:34
state holiday, but offices in the city at Charleston, Charleston City Hall,
41:38
the Canawa County Courthouse are closed. And and I was talking about this with
41:44
somebody the other day. Look, hey, I'm all for people getting rest
41:46
and relaxation or time with the family or whatever is important to them. But
41:50
the way the calendar fell this year, here was the scenario for a lot
41:59
of people either took off work or their companies let them off on Friday or
42:04
maybe an early out. I think our office here closed around two o'clock Friday
42:07
afternoon. Then, of course you had the weekend with Christmas Eve, Christmas
42:12
Day being yesterday, and now on Tuesday. Good luck finding anyone in today.
42:21
I know a lot of people here and our building are off today,
42:22
and I would imagine most companies are are that way this week. Matter of
42:28
fact, our sister station V one hundred did a pull on their Facebook page
42:34
and I actually shared it on Dave Alan Radio on Facebook, just asking people
42:40
whether or not they were working today or this week, and most other people
42:46
seem to say no, that they're not working today or for the rest of
42:52
the week. And I would imagine that a lot of people will be off
42:59
on Tuesday, January two as well, many off of course, as I
43:06
said, the entire week, including this Friday. And trust me, I'm
43:12
not hating on this. But as someone said to me back on Friday,
43:17
when did Christmas become a two and a half week vacation? Because that's kind
43:22
of that's kind of where we are right now now. You know, in
43:28
back back back in my day, when the you know, we were in
43:31
school, we always got the week after Christmas off. I was usually bored
43:37
and wanted to go back to school. But that's that's just me. But
43:40
now it has become basically a big old week, two week vacation. Uh.
43:49
And as Americans h in general, uh, we work less and and
43:58
with many younger people, many many, the man said, many, not
44:02
all. One of the first things that they ask about when being interviewed for
44:10
a job is how much time do they get off? And for many that's
44:19
more important than asking how they're getting paid. Again, I'm not sitting in
44:27
judgment here. I guess I'm just asking the I guess I'm just asking questions
44:30
of society. Coop just spoke back to my headphone and said, Oh,
44:34
it sounds like you are now I'm not. I'm just asking questions of our
44:38
society that seems to want to work less and less and less. I am
44:43
all for people, and what happens at the end of the year is a
44:45
lot of times and I know people very close to me that are facing this.
44:50
What happens at the end of the year is they have these accrude days
44:52
because they didn't take them off during the year, and it's basically a take
44:55
them or lose them. And I have been somebody who was involved in state
44:59
govern meant they realized that working the week after Christmas was almost pointless because no
45:05
one that we wanted to, no one that we needed to see in that
45:10
role I was doing in state government at the time, was in so it
45:14
was pretty much just kind of a waste of time. And I became one
45:16
of those people that was taken up because there was there was nothing to do.

Jeff Jenkins with the story post at wv Metronews dot com. Charleston Mayor Amy
49:23
Shulter Goodwin and members of city council have their respective names on a letter to
49:30
members of the state's congressional delegation concerning the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
49:37
Now you can read the story again. We read the letter, I should
49:39
say as part of Jeff's story posted at wv metronews dot com. A side
49:45
note here. Congress is still up in the air on a new funding package
49:50
for Israel. The talks are set to resume after the Christmas break. The
49:54
letter from the mayor and from council was sent to Senators Ansion and Capitol and
50:00
Congresswoman Carol Miller. And you know I was talking about this earlier. It
50:06
seems like a like a no brainer that pretty much everyone would be on board
50:12
to support Israel. But as we have seen across the country with protest on
50:17
college campuses and whatnot, that simply isn't the case. And even with this
50:24
letter that fifteen twenty years ago probably would have kind of gone unnoticed, This
50:30
letter on behalf of the mayor and city council that went out. There was
50:36
even some chatter online over the weekend that some local folks not talking about campuses
50:40
of Harvard and why I'm talking about local folks were upset that the mayor and
50:47
council took the step to do this proclamation. And as you've heard me say
50:55
on the show before, the the Democratic establishment and I'm talking about, let's
51:02
say, the Biden administration and support of Israel is going to be problematic on
51:10
the national front for many of the more far left members of the National Democrat
51:19
Party. And based on some of the comments that I saw, although I'd
51:21
say they're probably much in the minority a certain extent here, but I think
51:25
it's a much bigger deal nationally because there are those that are real those that
51:31
identify as liberal, I mean talking about super left wing that are really taking
51:36
the Biden administration to task for their stance on the conflict between Israel and AMASA.
51:43
It's going to be a big deal as it comes to as we head
51:46
into twenty twenty four. In the presidential extent. A reminder of the text
