2:52
couple of quick news headlines and need to get to before we get to Millie,
2:54
she's eagerly anticipating her appearance here on the show, and all of these
2:59
stories can be found atwv metronews dot com. Federal judge has approved a two
3:01
million dollars settlement after a man died in the custody of Dunbar police. Judge
3:07
Ireenberger approved that settle but yesterday. All has to do with a guy named
3:10
Michael Scott Junior in the suit that was brought against the city of Dunbar and
3:15
the officers in the case. Both officers are still employed there, mainly because
3:20
this was not a criminal case and either officer has been charged with a crime
3:24
again. The story can be found in its entiretywv metronews dot com. Speaking
3:28
of police former Chapmanville police officer who lived in South Charleston, Marcus Dudley,
3:32
has been arrested in Georgia. All has to do with the disappearance of the
3:36
police dog Chase. Dudley was due in court last week, but no showed
3:39
when he said he had no transportation from wherever he was was in Georgia and
3:45
his father's house is where they nabbed him, which is where he's originally from.
3:49
Marcus Dudley is now he'll come back to West Virginia at some point.
3:52
Facing a six count indictment in the case storywv Metronews dot com. And finally,
3:57
Bob Huggins now on what's called a non reporting probation after entering a diversion
4:02
program in Pennsylvania. Following is a DUI in Pittsburgh in June. We'll have
4:08
more on that again. You can read it all. I want to make
4:10
sure I get those headlines out there wv metro news dot com. All right,
4:14
Millie Snyder, our good friend from the Shape Shop, how are you
4:15
doing? Honey, good morning to you. I didn't know you're gonna sing.
4:19
Oh, yes, you didn't know that. Well, I know you
4:21
can. I don't carry a recording around atally can sing? You can?
4:26
Yeah, you're you're not lipsing. By the way, I want to throw
4:28
this out here too. Happy birthday to Danny Jones. Former birthday Jones,
4:31
former mayor of Charleston, former host of this radio show, Sheriff House adela
4:36
gets member. He's done pretty much everything, but Danny my man is celebrating
4:41
the birthday today. So let's give Danny Jones a big shout out and happy
4:45
birthday anymore. And if he comes, if he comes by the Shape Shop,
4:48
he'll get a free cake. Is that right, Well, my kind
4:50
of cake, this kind of cake, all right, because my kind of
4:55
cake actually is better for you, okay, because it isn't made with real
4:58
sugar, but it is sweet as you would like. Indee, all right,
5:01
as are you? Thank you so much? All right? You are
5:06
a man of great knowledge, A man of great knowledge. And say,
5:12
all right, so you got some stuff you said. I've got a lot
5:15
of information to share with people, So share away, darling. Yes,
5:17
and you know the thing that I want to share, and I also want
5:20
to make it available to anyone who will call in with their their name and
5:27
their address and send me a stamped envelope. I want to send people the
5:31
information about what is and what is not processed foods. Okay, it's time
5:38
that we knew what we are doing on a daily basis. And I have
5:44
it in my hand. Then I have another piece in my hand. But
5:48
I would love to share this information, okay, because you know, teaching
5:54
the Mediterranean lifestyle, I have learned so much, and of course I have
6:00
forty seven years to my credit as part of Weight Watchers. But what I
6:05
have learned since I began representing and living the Mediterranean lifestyle is absolutely only compared
6:15
to like a truckload of information compared to what I used to be able to
6:19
disseminate. And the more we know about the right kind of foods, the
6:25
healthier we're going to become. And that's the point that I want to make.
6:30
So I have this right here. It's called what art processed Foods,
6:35
and I want to share it now. If people don't want to send me
6:39
a stamped envelope with their return address, if they'll send me their email,
6:44
I'll respond that way because I want as many people as possible to understand that
6:50
by eating processed foods, we are killing ourselves very slowly. Yes, it
6:57
tastes good. I know that's your argument, and it's always that you know
7:00
power behind it. But this is the way my mother always cooked, and
7:04
my mother learned from my aunt Mary and so on and so forth. But
7:10
there's a better way, There's a healthier way. And if you don't have
7:15
your health, where you're gonna go? Where are you going to get it?
7:18
I mean, if you don't have your health, you don't really have
7:19
anything in this life because nothing else matters. Family, money, job,
7:25
nothing else matters. You can't get around comfortably, and you can't go to
7:29
the movies and sit in a chair to be entertained because you can't get there.
7:34
Okay, Anthony, were you we have a call for for MILLI is
7:39
that right? My producer and I are on different pages here, I think,
7:43
Oh okay, I'll be patient. Oh okay, it's not a call
7:46
for me. Okay, I'm sorry, I miss I misunderheard. I totally
7:49
misunderheard. Okay. My point is that I want people to understand that there
7:55
is a pleather and that's a big word. Yes, it is pleather,
7:59
or simply means a lot of information out there that can benefit people and the
8:05
more that they know and they're willing to put into their life. And I'm
8:09
not saying they have to do it in one fell swoop, but in small
8:13
little bits and pieces because process food Dave is killing us and it's taking away
8:20
whatever pieces we have left of health. And this is, you know something.
8:24
I was actually having a discussion with one of our other producers on the
8:28
show yesterday. We were yesterday I had on the show I had. I
8:33
had a little discussion between the State Democratic Party chair uh Mike Pushkin Uh.
8:37
It was also delegate and the State Republican Party co chair Tony Hodge, and
8:43
great discussion. By the way, go back and listen to it. WV
8:45
metri or story I WS my Facebook page, day hell on radio and Facebook
8:50
and wc AGES networking social media as well and at the website wc its network
8:54
dot com. But Tony came in with with some with some fudge as a
9:01
gift form no judging because okay, all right, all right, so so
9:05
all right, but but he asked ahead of time, he said, I'm
9:09
going to bring some fudge for different people. Does anybody there have food allergies?
9:15
And Tony and I were actually having this discussion where I'm a few years
9:18
older than he is, but we were talking about this and saying, you
9:20
know, years ago, food allergies weren't really that big of a thing.
9:24
You didn't and now like for his kids, you know, they can't take
9:28
peanut butter into schools. They can't take it, could never send something like
9:31
that to school. And I say all that to say this, I'm getting
9:33
somewhere with this, Melly, trust me, you can just continue to hang
9:37
uh that. A lot of people say that one of the reasons why we
9:43
suddenly are seeing all of these kids, and I'm not a doctor, I'm
9:48
not a nutrition expert. That a lot of it has to do with with
9:52
with processed food and that you didn't hear these things years ago, and now
9:58
it's generational, you know, I mean it's you know, so is there
10:01
anything have you read anything about that? Well, not per se in terms
10:05
of allergies, but what I have learned is that there are some processed foods
10:11
like you could count in days of weight watchers. You could count points for
10:16
a hamburger and French fries. But the thing is, even if you counted
10:22
the points for it, you could gain weight from it because it's not real
10:24
food and it does things to your body. I think that some reasons that
10:31
are hidden for allergies is there's other ingredients that are not dealing with the body
10:39
correctly. Thus there is an allergen that comes out from that. And other
10:45
people have said that as well. That's why I know. And there's also
10:48
some new research where they're find they're helping young babies learn how to tolerate peanuts
10:54
and consequently you know, peanut butter. But they're starting at a very young
11:00
age when they're little infants, but they're beginning to address it. The point
11:05
is you and I have a responsibility, as does each person who's listening,
11:09
know what's in your food so that you can make an informed decision. Listen,
11:18
I'm at my shape shop, yes, and I know you're going to
11:20
ask me the address seven oh six Central Avenue. We're on the west side.
11:24
We're very easy to find, plenty of for your parking. Yes,
11:28
and also there's a Marquis and if you miss it, then you're not looking
11:31
yea. But here's the point. There aren't very many places that go through
11:39
what we do to make everything fresh. We make our soups from scratch.
11:45
We roast our own turkey, we roast our own chicken, et cetera,
11:48
et cetera. We don't buy somebody else's so that it's easy to cut.
11:52
We roast it, we slice it, we make the wraps, the sandwiches,
11:58
et cetera, the soups. But it's clean, fresh food, and
12:01
that's what people need to find out about. We need to give that to
12:05
our kids, especially as we're going to be giving lunches to our children.
12:11
School opens up on Friday. Let's take responsibility for what we're packing in their
12:18
lunch. I don't know what they're serving in the cafeterias, and of course
12:22
there are a lot of kids, and I say this with sadness that that's
12:26
the only food that they're going to get. But so much of it as
12:33
ingredients in it that we can't you know, on some foods day there's ingredients
12:39
that are preservatives and you can't even pronounce it. You might be a good
12:41
reader, and you might have skill level for English composition, but you can't
12:48
pronounce it. And that's when I say, please be aware, pay attention.
12:52
And people have said if you can't, if you can't pronounce it,
12:54
don't put it in your body. I mean, and we're doing it every
12:58
sing couple of that is diet sodas. If you if you read what's in
13:03
a diet soda, Yeah, that's definitely fog. How many people over the
13:09
years, especially when I was the franchise owner for weight Watchers, would not
13:13
drink water because they had instead eight diet cokes all day, so they said
13:20
liquid is liquid, one is brown, one is white, And people would
13:24
take me on for an argument, and sometimes it's not about winning the argument.
13:28
You can only teach what people are willing to hear and then receive and
13:35
do something about very very good place to end it. There. Shape Shop
13:39
has got here. The Shape Shop is located. You've already given us address
13:43
contact informations on Facebook. It's on all the social media. Give us the
13:46
address again at seven oh six Central Avenue. And I do want to say
13:50
that we are making grab and go fresh meals that are so fabulous that I
13:56
mean like I watched them being put together yesterday, and I mean just watching
14:01
them at my mouth waters, but my mouth didn't water over the food.
14:05
Yes, I want to be sure, but I will happily send what processed
14:09
foods are to anyone who will reach out to me. Contact Shape Shop w

15:26
broken, but it doesn't have to be. Senator Joe Mansion could be part
15:30
of the solution if he stood up for West Virginia values. Instead, he

16:27
from the Palmer Store Studio five ATLI, brought to you by the Thornhill Oder
16:30
Group. The Voice Charleston whs. Hey, I want to say this that
16:33
every Wednesday we do Working Women's Wednesday over the Red Carpet Lounge with our good
16:37
friends at our sister station V one hundred. Jinny Murray and the crew will
16:41
be there starting at five o'clock. Lots of great food and drink specials,
16:44
prizes and more. V one hundreds Working Women's Wednesday, This and every Wednesday
16:48
started at five at the Red Carpet Loungelizabeth Street in Charleston, Texas, Dave.
16:52
Unfortunately, in West Virginia, where food and security is heavily prevalent,
16:57
processed foods are the only thing availe to most folks, telling listeners they will
17:02
die for me. It seems unfair when in fact it's keeping West Virginians alive,
17:06
says a Texture. Texture says, remember when Michelle Obama tried to get
17:08
sugar foods out of school meals but met was met with resistance from government who
17:12
was operating in behalf of the bigger sugar lobby. The availability of sugary process
17:18
foods is intentionally baked into the system. I don't think they met that as
17:22
a pun and they said baked into the system. Tony Stroud with Marshall University
17:26
joints it Tony, good morning, how are you sir? Good morning,
17:27
Dave doing well? How are you today? I'm doing well. Our good
17:30
friend Bill Bissitt, you know, sent me a text Bill works for a
17:33
Shelley Moore Capital's office, Bill, and you and I go way, way,
17:36
way, way back. And Bissits said that Tony's the only guy I
17:38
know that would do address up for a radio interview. But this is your
17:41
everyday attire, Tony, You're just Natalie. It is what I wear every
17:45
day. So I'll get a picture and posts people can see what I'm talking
17:48
about. What is your official title at Marshall University's currently serves the Chief Legal
17:53
Officer and Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Corporate Relations at Marshall University. Do
17:59
you get all that on a business I try not to, so we it's
18:03
a little bit easier for me to say I work for Brad Smith. You're
18:04
Brad Smith's writing And we did have mister Smith schedule to be on the show
18:07
today, but to do to a scheduling conflict, he was not able to
18:11
attend. We'll get to Brad Smith on the show, uh here sometime in
18:15
the foreseeable future. Overall, I'm give you a chance to suck up to
18:18
the boss a little bit. Uh. What kind of job you think Brad
18:21
Smith has done since taking over as the president of Marshall University. I think
18:25
the President Smith has done an excellent job. You know. He came in
18:29
in twenty twenty two with a vision and really I think went on and listening
18:33
tour initially and now I remember that. Yeah, he just went from community
18:37
to community, community. He pulled up microphone up a little bit there,
18:40
a little trouble here there you go, went from community to community and talking
18:44
to the people and the stakeholders at Marshall University, just asking what they thought
18:48
we need to do, what's some issues they see and based on now we
18:52
develop a plan and uh, you know, I think we have a very
18:53
strong plan going forward into the future. At Marshall, we're trying to create
18:57
a prosperity platform for us TODs. As you know, we still educate a
19:02
lot of first generation students and we have a mission that we want to promote
19:07
individual success, be a place where people come with innovative ideas and be a
19:11
major player in economic development, not only in the region but in the entire
19:15
state of West Virginia. Talking with Tony Stroud again from Marsha University. Big
19:19
announcement Tony came last week. I guess it was about this new cybersecurity thing
19:25
that you got to going on to Marshall talk about that. Yeah, we're
19:26
very excited about that. And then just cannot be more appreescative of Governor Justice
19:30
than the Westernia Legislature for their support, dedication and vision for this. I
19:34
think that, you know, it speaks volumes of their ability to recognize the
19:41
importance of cybersecurity as we enter into this new digital world that we're in today.
19:45
Marshall was fortunately we have been appropriated forty five million dollars to build a
19:49
new building in Huntington, West Virginia. This will be an eighty thousand square
19:55
foot building that will house our cybersecurity Institute. It's going to have thirteen different
20:00
labs in it for use in cybersecurity and primarily focused on critical infrastructure, as
20:06
you know that's a concern in our entire country. So Marsh's recently named as
20:10
a Center of Excellence in cybersecurity, the second one in the United States,
20:14
the other being in Texas, San Antonio. So we think this brings a
20:17
great opportunity cybersecurity jobs are tremendous demand of seven hundred and seventy five thousand jobs
20:23
the last figure I saw. So we're going to be able to educate students
20:27
and be able to put more people out of the workforce in this very exactly
20:30
if somebody is a I know this is a very very blanket statement or question
20:34
I should say, Tony, but if somebody is going to you know,
20:37
major in cybersecurity or that's going to be their their course of study, what
20:41
kind of jobs would they have as it relates to cybersecurity. Give us a
20:45
couple of examples. Sure, there could be many different things. One could
20:48
be working for the Department of Defense and helping, you know, look out
20:52
on the web. You know, you hear about the dark web and trying
20:55
to prevent ransomware attacks. You know, last year, I think we had
20:57
a couple of our community colleges attacked by ransomware. So I saw last week
21:02
a hospital system in three states that's sixteen affected hospitals. So it's monitoring the
21:06
web, moniting you know, with a critical infrastructure, your power gridge,
21:11
your your water supply, just seeing what kind of attacks may occur there.
21:15
You know, I heard recently there's a quantum quantum cryptography or quantum computing three
21:22
to five years before this goes live, and that will have the ability to
21:26
break any encryption code available today. So a lot of work in this area.
21:32
The different labs I mentioned, you know, they be the Internet of
21:34
Things, which is you have a smart watch, a dishwash refrigerator that communicates
21:41
through the web. It's open to potential cyber attacks. So all of those
21:45
different things will be available in students will be taught how to monitor those and
21:48
detect and try to throw it off these attacks before they occur. Now,
21:52
where will the physical location be. It'll be on the corner of how Greer
21:57
Boulevard and in sixteenth Street. There used to be a Hussin's Pizza there some
22:03
nut but going back to our age, there was a double o ger older
22:06
than I am dude only by a few months. Okay, but anyway,
22:11
speaking of Husband's Pizza. By the way, Shameless Plug five any Live is
22:14
presented part by Husbands Pizza. This month gets yourself a large at and Nich
22:17
Pepperoni pizza in an order of cheese sticks only twenty one ninety nine for locations
22:21
to place an order or for delivery, visit husbands Pizza dot com. So
22:23
that's where it's going to be, and that's where it's going to be.
22:25
And we did not playing that, folks. It was just happened to be
22:27
the next one in the rotation here. So you know, there's so many
22:30
different things going on in the world of higher education these days. And I've
22:34
talked about this on the show My Generation, Your Generation, Generation, Classic
22:40
Generation X people we were told you gotta go to college, you gotta go
22:42
to college, and I went to a community college I've told the story before
22:45
for a couple of years, and then transferred to Marshall University. And I
22:52
think now we're getting to the point that maybe our universities and higher education in
22:57
general in America are starting starting tony to get to the point now where they're
23:00
saying, well, not every student learns the same not everybody necessarily needs to
23:06
go off to a Marshall WVU state you see, or whatever, or maybe
23:11
not even go study in the same way. And I think it's I think
23:15
it's imperative. Uh. And you can weigh in on this. You're the
23:18
expert on our universities to not just teach the same old thing, you know,
23:23
to to work with the business communities more to say hey, what do
23:27
you need? And that sounds like what when when we talked about Brad Smith
23:30
becoming president of Marshall Tony, it sounds like that's what he did as he
23:34
went to and he went out to the community and he said, Okay,
23:37
let's go to a Toyota plant, let's go to to New Core whomever and
23:41
say, okay, what is it that you need. Yeah, I think
23:45
you're right, Dave. I know you know to what you said when you
23:47
know, when I was in high school many many years ago, it was
23:49
thought you got your high school diploma and you went on to get a four
23:52
year degree or or more a college. And I think that's changed. Not
23:56
everyone is seeking that now. And you know, I think you're right.
24:00
We need do need to go to the employers and work back from the employer
24:03
demand and see what they need. And I think what you're going to see
24:07
into the future is more micro credentials. Perhaps. You know, we have
24:12
this our vision at Marshall's Marshall for All, Marshall Forever, and you probably
24:18
heard President Smith talk about our goal was by twenty thirty seven at every student
24:22
who graduates from Marshall University will graduate debt free with one job placement. And
24:27
you know, the Marshall Forever is the continuing education. What do you need
24:30
to get to that next step? You know what? We were out on
24:34
the West Coast meeting with some folks from Amazon recently and they talked a lot
24:37
about you know a lot of people are switching to more skill based programs versus
24:41
degree based and what do we need to do to get there? And I
24:45
heard someone yesterday I was having a conversation with it says, you know,
24:48
he thinks that we need to start replacing the terminology student with learner. And
24:53
what do these new students of the future want to learn? Do they want
24:59
just a certificate to be able to do coding in Python as we're moving into
25:03
AI? Do they want a two year degree? Do they want a four
25:06
year degree? So I think we've got to meet the students where they are
25:08
and that's one of the things that we're trying to do at Marshall University with
25:11
some of our new programs. Talking with Tony strut again to marsh University and
25:15
Tony, I post a similar question when I had Eric Cage, President of
25:18
State on a few weeks ago. There are a lot of problems we know
25:21
with higher education in West Virginia. They've been well documented. We all know
25:25
about the issues at at w VU, well documented there, and of course
25:30
not nearly as bad as what's happening Alderson brought us where in effect that they
25:33
had to going out of business sale. I mean, I'm not trying to
25:36
make a light of it, but it is what it is. And there
25:40
are other schools around America that are facing similar situations right now. What is
25:44
Marshall doing to maybe try to help out their fellow institutions. Let me take
25:48
the Alders and broadest situation. Eric Cage of State said that they had reached
25:52
out to the students at AB and said, hey, come to State,
25:56
we'll work with you on tuition and things of that nature. Or what's Marshall
26:00
doing in every Yeah, it's very similar. We're doing the same thing.
26:03
We actually have a meeting today with some folks in Walterston brought us and you
26:06
know, that's an unfortunate situation that occurred there. But you know, at
26:08
the end of the day, I think, you know, as we typically
26:11
do in West Virginia, I've seen a lot of institutions reach out to Walterston
26:15
brought us and you know, in West Virginia were known to rally around each
26:18
other when things aren't going bad, and I think that that's happening here.
26:22
Many of the universities and other institutions have stepped up. What can we do
26:25
to help? You know, we've got to make sure we take care of
26:26
those students, and that's every one's priority, is that we make sure these
26:30
students were able to continue and we'd like to keep them all here in West
26:33
Virginia to continue with their education. Hopefully that's what we can do, and
26:37
that key part about keeping them in West Virginia, which leads me to one
26:41
of our final questions. I want to get to here, what is Marshall
26:44
doing when you have somebody that is, you know, approaching their senior year
26:47
of college or or whether it a master's program, whatever it is that they're
26:51
doing. What are you doing as the university to say, Okay, we
26:56
got your education for you, whether you're here or whether you're from here or
26:59
not. Don't go off to Columbus, don't go off to Charlotte, don't
27:03
go off to Pittsburgh. Let's try to keep you in West Virginia. What
27:04
kind of things are you able to do there to make you try to make
27:07
sure that happens right, And that's the goal. He's trying to keep our
27:11
our young people here, to keep our talent here in West Virginia. And
27:14
I think with some of the announcements we've had recently with you know, with
27:17
the new Corps, the form Energy, the Berkshire Hathaway, you know,
27:19
the Cybersecurity Institute. You know, we think we're going to really be able
27:22
to build up an ecosystem around that. So as you know, Dave that
27:26
the key is to create jobs, and we've got to create good jobs that
27:29
will keep our people here. So, you know, I think that's why
27:33
we're trying to win on economic development. Love the collaboration we have going on
27:37
with West Virginia University president and his staff have been tremendous to work with.
27:41
We're doing a lot of projects together under the Universities United, which again I
27:47
think that's you know, we're rallying around some of the issues in West Virginia.
27:51
What can we do collectively in higher education. You know, doctor Cage
27:55
has has been participating in events with us, so I think we're gonna have
27:59
to rally together, continue to build our economy here in West Virginia, continue
28:02
to add good pain jobs, and I think that will result in us keeping
28:04
our students here in the state of West Virginia. Well, it's exciting time
28:07
in the world of higher education and of course an exciting time in Honeyton because
28:11
football season is getting ready to start. Here is waiting for football season it
28:15
gets starting, you know, growing up in Huntington being a big Thundering Herd
28:18
fan on on my life. I think we're going to have a good squad
28:21
on the field this year and looking forward to it. We had in the
28:23
neighborhood of about four hundred or so Marshall of fans out at the bill No
28:27

28:33
are about football season, and honey it's gonna be a great season for the
28:34

32:50
Woody Woods for one of the seventh three to beat. How are you my
32:52
friends up? Dave? Good morning brother. I look out the window out
32:55
there, walk out into the green room, and I said, does anybody
32:59
you're literally in the parking up putting your shirt on? Dude? You see
33:01
me do that? Yes? I thought I had another everybody in Charleston saw
33:06
you doing that. I thought I had a one on seventy three T shirt
33:08
in my truck. But so I took my shirt off, like, man,
33:12
I don't have a shirt in here. So it's all right, Man,
33:14
I flashed the neighbors. It's it's it's not the first time. Yeah,
33:16
it's definitely, it probably won't be the last. Let's talk about what
33:21
we got going on. First of all, before we get to the backpack
33:22
attack, I want to ask you how is things doing with the new frequency?
33:27
Are we there? Baby? More people now can listen to the beat
33:30
than ever because we moved up from from ninety eight seven to one on seven
33:34
three. Talking about man moving up, it's a beautiful thing. We went
33:37
from like one county to like seventeen counties. We actually got a radio station.
33:40
Now you can hear You can hear us outside the east end and west
33:44
side of Charleston, So it's a good thing. Get a lot of good
33:46
vibes when I'm out, people talking about they get here is all the way
33:50
to Kentucky. I haven't went that far yet, but I'm getting calls that
33:54
they get here in Kentucky some parts. So that's I sent you a text
33:58
a couple of weeks ago. I was in Clay County, nice and I
34:00
was listened to right. It was just U list of one oh seventh three
34:05
to beat Terry in Clay County. But what he does his best to try
34:07
to to try to make me sound cool. Can I say we outside,
34:12
we outside, We gotta you gotta hold it out like vin we outside.
34:17
There you go there you go. It's that Logan County, LA, Logan
34:22
Area, LA. In the building, baby, yeah exactly, we outside.
34:25
So we're gonna be outside literally, yes, sir, tomorrow here at
34:29
eleven eleven because time for the Todd Judy Motors Backpack Attack. Talk about the
34:32
history of this event sixteen years, man, it seems like it just started
34:36
yesterday. That the best thing about this Dave that you know sixteen years it
34:39
was a child that was coming to get a backpack, probably going to kindergarten,
34:44
the first grade or second grade. Now their parent bringing their kids to
34:47
get backpacks. Man, it's just the family oriented thing. It's absolutely free.
34:52
We have a lot of people this year that's gonna be outside, including
34:54
Parmar convenience stores. They got water forward, Baby, yes, sir,
35:00
that's that's what I hear. He got me to agree to that on the
35:02
air line up as at two o'clock. So we're gonna start to hand it
35:07
out backpacks filled with these school supplies at three o'clock. Where do we get
35:08
the supplies from backpacks? We get from backpacks. Big shout out to Todd
35:13
Judy Motors over there, man. Supplies came from Norfolk, Southern their training
35:19
that you know, the train company they hooked us up. Ten and ten
35:23
in corporation they hooked us up. There's a lot of people, Doctor,
35:27
Portael, Proteil and Ptail. It's about thirty people. We like to call
35:30
them community partners. We don't call them sponsors. Yeah, they community partners
35:35
that just want to see this community grow. They're all about Charleston and they're
35:37
all about these babies. Man, they're all about man. Making sure it's
35:40
not a hand out. David's a hand up. We know it's The backpack
35:44
is probably worth about twenty thirty bucks just to get the kids on the right
35:46
track. And not only we get to give him a backpack, we actually
35:51
get to see them, touch them, hug him, high five of them,
35:52
encourage them and have a good time with him. Man tomorrow and last
35:55
year was the first year, but I got a chance to help out director
35:59
of traffic Control. I'd like to have that job again. You got what
36:01
we do is, if you're familiar with the station, you know we're just
36:05
down from Charleston Catholic High School. What we do is we actually line them
36:07
up out on the streets and we bring them in an orderly fashion. You
36:09
know, two or three at a time, and they have a different station
36:13
that they get to. Are we doing the same similar only sure, we're
36:15
gonna do a little difference since we've got a lot of community sponsors out there
36:19
with us. We're gonna give them the bags first and not last, so
36:22
they can have the bags first and walk around the circle and get stuff from
36:25
the other community sponsors that they're giving away. That the bags should be packed
36:30
like we Astley's in they're packing them right now. Bitch out out to West
36:32
Virginia Health right too. They made it easy on us this year. They
36:36
did a lot of packing over there at their East End location. They brought
36:38
it over here to us, so we just got to put it in a
36:40
bag man. So yeah, because normally it's like a it's like an assembly
36:44
line we have here today, you know, loading those things up. And
36:47
then one of the important things we want to make sure that people understand is
36:51
is that the parents. A lot of times parents will come out and you
36:55
know, they'll say, well, I've got so many kids. We actually
36:58
have to see the kid. You got to talk to the Yeah, we
37:00
don't want to talk to the parent. Parents, you're old. We want
37:01
to talk yeah, you've already been at this school. We want to encourage
37:05
these young ones. Man just about just like half fun in school, But
37:08
school is very very important when you become a parent, when you're going through
37:14
life like this. First grade, second grade is very very vital to the
37:19
twelfth grade. It might sounds crazy, it might sound crazy right now,
37:22
but it's very vital to pick up those skills while you're young so when you
37:24
get older, you don't have to look back or reach back and try to
37:28
figure out what the heck happened. And that goes to parents too. We
37:30
gotta understand. We gotta read to our kids. We gotta when our kids
37:34
speak wrong, we gotta tell no, you gotta speak this correctly right now.
37:37
We gotta fix it now and not later, because once it become a
37:39
habit. We all know habits are hard to break, but you can.
37:44
You can break a habit with a child right now, like, no,
37:45
don't do that, and they're like, okay, I'm not supposed to do
37:47
that. Because but once you get in fifth or sixth grade trying to break
37:51
that habit, it's tough. Yeah, because they already made it. They
37:52
already made their mind up. This is what I'm gonna do so we just
37:55
want to talk to him man. We I'm very excited about this year.
37:59
Not only it's the first year at one oh seven three, but we got
38:02
some cool stuff in the backpacks. We got water bottles. We learned that
38:07
kids in school need water bottles. They that's that's part of the requirement.
38:09
Now headphones, we got headphones in the bag. Like they really don't use
38:14
pilchuling pen anymore. They're on iPad, so they listened with their iPads.
38:19
So we got headphones in the bag. We got a lot of stuff that
38:22
they really need. We went out on Facebook to see what the teachers need
38:25
and what the children need, and they gave us a list and that's what
38:28
we try to get into put in the backpacks. And this is one of
38:30
those things too. What we have a couple of events a year that all
38:34
the stations are and one this is one of seven three the beat thing.
38:37
But you know, all of us from all the stations are gonna be out
38:39
there, the sales teams out there, the I T. Department, everybody's
38:43
out there just doing whatever we can to help. It's like a famary union
38:45
w VRC Media. I think this is gonna be the second year at w
38:49
VRC Media with the name change. But it's a good team building event,
38:52
man. And it's not just about ninety I mean one oh seven three to
38:55
be We got almost slipped up, almost slipped up. We got seven other
39:00
radio stations that we're a family in this company. And that's what it's all
39:04
about. We get to all hang out. We get to see the community.
39:07
The community get to see us. And uh, that's what it's about
39:09
tomorrow, man, all right, good stuff. I appreciate you. At
39:13
two o'clock would be the lineup. And I got here last year, I
39:15
think about like maybe one forty five, and there were already people lying down
39:22
the streets and uh, and that's good. And I don't encourage that.
39:23
I don't want you to be outside for like three or four hours. That's
39:28
you know what I'm saying, because he got little ones. And you know,
39:30
if you got a little one outside for three hours, that's very hard
39:34
to guard. Yeah, that's like trying to guard Michael Jordan. Boys on
39:37
fire, you hear me. He got you got that eight year old and
39:40
they just running and running. But come at two o'clock, I promise we
39:44
got five hundred backpacks. You will get it back back if you come at
39:46
two o'clock. Nine, you come at four thirty, you gotta call Dave
39:50
Allen over at Palmer. He might have something, but he come at two.
39:52
You good, all right? We get people that come at four forty
39:55
five. Yeah, you don't have any backpacks? No, brother started at
39:58
two. Yeah all the yeah. I mean there's only so many to go
40:00
around. It's first come, first surveys saying we have five hundred, and
40:04
after the five hundred, that's it. Dance. We love you all right,
40:07
wish you the best. Woody. We'll be listing man, keep doing
40:10
what you did tomorrow. So I'll be here tomorrow. Thank you. Buddy
40:15
Woods is here with us. There the backpack Attack again. It's brought to
40:19
you by Todd, Judy Motors, and a bunch of other community sponsors.
40:22
Well, and of course they all kind of the brainch out of Woody Woods.
40:24
They're one of seven three the beats in. We'll be on the parking
40:27
at eleven eleven Virginia Street East in Charleston tomorrow, so we hope that you
40:31
will join us and get those kids the backpacks for the upcoming school year again
40:36
we'll start the lineup at two and it's at three. I'll be over by
40:39
about four thirty or five because we only have so many to go around.

44:15
how are you. I'm doing well. Thank you. You've got to
44:17
follow up Woody Woods. Oh that's tough and Tony Stroud and Millie Snyder.
44:22
Oh, it's a murderers row here, Marjorie. There is a housing survey
44:28
that's been floated around out there from Advantage Valley. First of all, before
44:30
we get to that, for those who may not know what exactly is Advantage
44:34
Valley. Advantage Valley is an economic regional development organization. We work with the
44:38
state, We work with county economic development organizations. We work to attract business,
44:45
to retain business, and to build new business in a nine county region
44:49
in West Virginia spanning from Huntington to Charleston. It's the metro corridor. Greatest
44:54
population base is here and so we work to really try to promote that region
45:00
for growth and investment. And when you talk about Valley, you know,
45:05
the first thing you think of is who you think about maybe you know the
45:08
Honeyton area, Putnam County and Charleston. But there's a whole lot more to
45:12
it than just that. As you said, how many counties we work with
45:14
nine nine different counties, So that's going to take in some of a lot
45:16
of the surrounding counties. To talk about that, well, it is it
45:20
is Boone Cabal Clay on top of your head, But I'm just saying it's
45:24
all the surrounding areas. It is, it is, and right now,
45:29
specifically Jackson and Mason County are part of the Advantage Valley region and that is
45:34
where some major investments have been announced over the past, you know, a
45:37
couple of years, and we have lots of jobs coming in and so that
45:40
is part of the reason for our housing survey, specifically new Core bringing you
45:45
know, a thousand jobs, eight hundred, two thousand jobs, and Jackson
45:47
County the Berkshire Hathaway Energy and Precision Cast Parts bringing possibly eight hundred to a
45:52
thousand jobs. And there's another announcement to governor and I don't know what area
45:55
it's from. We'll find out, I think at ten o'clock. But there's
45:58
going to be another major jobs announcement from the governor coming up at ten o'clock
46:01
this morning. I don't know. Just keep following us online for more information
46:05
on that, Hoppy. I'm sure we'll talk about it, but that's coming
46:07
up a little bit later on. So West Virginia is getting a lot of
46:09
attention right now from people wanting to come here absolutely and what we want to
46:14
do and look at it now is to try to quantify, you know,
46:19
what the housing needs are because we know that two thousand jobs are coming and
46:22
new jobs, so we will have people moving here and we already have a
46:27
housing short yes we do. So we have retained a national firm called Bowen
46:32
Research. They are known in the real estate market. So we are working
46:36
on a massive housing assessment and as part of that, we are looking to
46:39
get opinions from not only in folks who live here, residents and commuters,
46:45
anyone that works in that you know, ten county area. We're also looking
46:50
at talking to employers, developers, realtors and lenders. And again we need
46:54
to quantify the housing demand over the next few years to try to encouragege and
47:00
attract developers to help us with new housing or whatever the report reveals it could
47:07
be. Then we have a lot of housing stock that needs to be renovated.
47:09
But we know that we have a need and we need to you know,
47:13
quantify that need for supply and demand. So how did you how are
47:16
you going about the survey? How are you getting into people? How do
47:19
people take it if they want to? It has been the survey has been
47:22
out now for gosh three and a half weeks to a month. We are
47:25
in the last three days. That's the key. We are in a push
47:29
here, Dave. What I want to do is ask your listeners to take
47:31
the housing survey. This is the portion that is for the residents and the
47:36
commuters. So the easiest way to tell people how to do it on the
47:39
radio is to go to advantage Valley dot com and click on the twenty twenty
47:44
three Housing survey short survey ten minutes. We've got an extra bonus incentive for
47:49
anyone that takes the survey. So that actually took the survey this morning,
47:52
did you fantastic, Dave? If we're given away some gift cards two hundred
47:55
and fifty dollars and five hundred dollars Visa gift cards, so we already have
48:00
ds of responses. But the stronger the data, the stronger the input.
48:02
So this is kind of every person's ability to be involved in economic development.
48:07
Your opinion matters and we want to hear it. So between now and Friday
48:10
at midnight, hit our website advantage Valley dot com and hit twenty twenty three
48:15
Housing Survey. We need your opinion. And I will say this about the
48:21
survey as I said, I took it about thirty minutes before the show.
48:22
Is very simple, and you know, the questions are are there. They're
48:27
not gonna ask you you know, European capitals or anything like that. It's
48:30
very very simple. The questions that that you are asked about. You don't
48:34
have to give up any personal information if you want. I mean there are
48:36
areas we'll say, like, well, you know, what is your income,
48:38
what is your age, but you don't put your name. You don't
48:40
put your name on it or anything like that. Uh. And and there's
48:44
some that are like you can mentioned two or three two or three different answers.
48:49
You know, there could be the rank these or whatever. It's very
48:51
very simple, and it's very needed because, as you've mentioned, Marjorie,
48:55
there's a housing problem. And I have my good friend Rich the realtor,
48:58
on once a month. It's kind of a bit of what's going on in
49:00
the world of realty. And Rich client tells me I live in Tay's Valley,
49:05
and I mean houses are I make the joke anytime somebody in our development
49:10
takes their curtains down to wash them, ten ten people show up knocking on
49:14
the door and saying are you are you selling your house, So no,
49:15
we're just cleaning. I'm cleaning exactly. Well, there is a just we
49:21
know there's a housing issue, and what we are trying to do as an
49:22
organization is put real data on the table and this will help attract and encourage
49:29
residential development and investment. There may need to be some incentives put into place,
49:34
but with hard data to know what's what's currently here and what's needed.
49:38
We're just trying to hit this off at the right time because we know the
49:43
jobs are coming and the housing is a is an issue. So Advantage Valley
49:46
does try to fill gaps. We don't try to you know, repeat work
49:50
that other folks are doing. And we saw a real need to pull this
49:52
in too huge survey, pricey survey. We've got super support from the counties,
49:59
we've got some private banks involved, and we've got you know, just
50:02
terrific support. So we're we're grateful for that. But we and we expect
50:07
this report to be out at the end of the year December timeframe. So
50:10
once you get the by the way, any Dimensions five eighty Live is brought
50:14
to you a part by Generations Physical Therapy seven Convenient Locations along as sixty four
50:17
and they're currently hiring for both license and technically trained staff. Form more information
50:21
visit generations pt dot com. Alright, Marjorie, so you get this information
50:25
compiled, you said by the end of the year, you should have some
50:29
reports. What's the next step after that? I suppose our Housing committee will
50:34
disseminate this information, will probably put it out on a press release, and
50:37
we hope that information will draw attention from you know, whether it be lenders
50:44
in the state, what do they need to do? What? You know,
50:46
what do the housing developers need to do? And I think there will
50:50
be possibly some incentive for folks to know exactly what's coming and that will help,
50:55
you know, grease the wheels of new new how and possibly redevelopment of
51:00
existing and making And make no mistake, they are coming to West Virginia.
51:05
People are coming. And one of the reasons is is because we are the
51:07
oldest state in the nation, so a lot of our people aren't of of
51:12
working age anymore. They're retired folks and whatever, so they're not going to
51:15
be the ones failing the jobs. So we're opening up West Virginia to a
51:20
lot of people from the outside to come here, and they're coming. They're
51:22
already here. I can tell you that they're they're already on the way.
51:27
We need to do a marketing effort for new jobs in West Virginia. They're
51:30
coming. We also have to have the housing for where they can live,
51:32
and the employers need to know that they can recruit workers by having a good
51:37
housing stock. So it's such a fundamental issue to the economic engine of the
51:42
region, and we're trying to get out there and get quantifiable data to justify
51:46
the supply and demand and how it's changing. Gotta have the numbers. And
51:50
I know, right down just down the street, down the road a little
51:52
bit from while they're getting ready put three hundred townhouses in there. Three hundred
51:55
are coming there. So hey, Tay's Valley folks, you think you had
51:59
to traffic problem now, but no, Look I always said there's a lot
52:02
of areas that would that would kill to have a traffic problem, you know,
52:06
So so we'll take it. Today's all right, give us the website
52:08
again. We gotta wrap it up. If you take that survey at advantage
52:12
Valley dot com and click on twenty twenty three housing Survey between now and Friday,
52:16
at midnight. Thank you, Dave, and then and then yeah,
52:20
absolutely, it's a very worthwhile endeavor that you folks at Advantage Valley got going
52:23
on here now again, you got to midnight on Friday to fill this thing
52:27
