Speaker 1 (00:01):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't like it. I don't like it. You wouldn't
like it. Nobody likes it. Nobody likes it.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
So during the.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Actually like this year, have I ever told you this?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hell as, I can't remember which store was.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I just I just had a brain fart, so I
forgot about it.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It was a fun one, though, it was one that
showed my epic stupidity and stoogely cunning.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
There's a point.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
I accidentally broke into a restricted area in an office
building by accident.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Oh, I just walked in.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
What I got lost?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Okay, I like I say, I can't like be honest, Like,
it wasn't like some kind of company building. I don't
know what it was. I was looking for somebody. I
can't remember who it was. It has been a few
years ago, but we were that's the same. Actually, no,
I was in the hospital, I remember now.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I got stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I got stranded on the.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
L I got trapped in the elevator and ended up
like in a restricted area at the hospital where like
only employees and doctors were allowed in, and I somehow
wondered in thereby accident.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Didd were you escorted out.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
No, Like that's the same, Like just nobody really questioned.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
It, like cause like I like I was wearing kind
of like a raggy outfit and all that stuff, and
I looked like a janitor.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well there's a a if you if you carry a ladder,
you could sneak into anywhere. Yeah, anyway like restricted ations
of the Pentagon. Jess put on some work clothes and
carry ladder and just walk through. Yeah, okay, you heard
to work on that thing, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll

(02:06):
just let you go. Why else would you have a
ladder if you're not there to work on something.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I was trapped in the elevator for about an hour
before somebody let me let me out, And it was
mostly because apparently I wasn't aware of this that like,
if you're trapped in one of the employee elevators, all
you have to do is just hit the ground floor
and it'll take you to the ground floor. I wasn't
aware of this because I was trying.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
To get to like a certain floor, Like yeah, because
used to like I was at Cavil so much. I
knew that hospital like the back of my hand, Like
and then like.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
When they started out like like the new office buildings
and all everything else, that cancer center and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, like it intoto a maze.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Same thing with Saint Mary's at one point, Like I
remember when Saint Mary's Hospital their their gift shop was
all the way in the back towards the old e.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
R like like hidden.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, it was kind of like yeah, it's saying it
was right beside the snack shop, a little snack place,
and now it's like right when you walk in, like
over just like in the front entrance.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm gonna say, now I got remember I got lost
at Yeah the old Hunk and East the Huntington High
or no, no, not the old old East School. Okay, yeah,
Like which is the school?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, the border of education?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Now, yeah, it's because the half of it is the
border of education, and then part of it is like
a technical school, and then part of it is why
they summer school.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well i'd falled tenth grade English. I just barely felt it.
But anyways, I had to go to summer school that
year to finish it, which which I did. I finished
it early, which I love. I love the way summer
school works. I wouldmost prefer to do summer school if

(04:19):
it was an option because you had like the teacher
went over to the curriculum and she's like, this is
what we have to get done in six weeks. She's like,
I don't care if you show up today and don't
come at all. And then on the last day of
the six weeks you sit down and you do everything
on here. I'll passion. I don't care. And so I

(04:39):
got done in like two weeks.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
And uh.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
The guy who's over the summer school program at the
time was this really big, intimidating black guy with this
real deep voice.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah. I remember telling me this one.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, and you know, she was like, all right, you
know you aren't go down down whatever office, and you
you know, I.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Think it was a superintendent at the time.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
It was. I was he's a superintendent. But he he
got up. He's probably six seven, I mean, he's a
big guy. And he goes, is the last time and
we'll see you here, right. I went, yes, sir, and
but he he shok my head and everything. He said,
I'm glad you're getting out of here early, and you know,
YadA YadA. But the first day I was there, my

(05:26):
mom just dropped me off I didn't know where to go.
I just went into the high school and I got lost,
and the two bottom floors are offices and stuff like this,
and so I was like, well, maybe it's upstairs. And
so I go up to the third floor and I'm
convinced the third floor is haunted. Yeah, you go up there,

(05:48):
and it's it's I mean, like I'm serious, Like, go upstairs.
The hallway is mostly dark except for one flickering light
that's hanging like one fluorescent light that's like halfway hanging off,
and it's moving and it's flickering like I'm gonna get

(06:09):
murdered up here. Well, that's very like And because it's abandoned. Yeah,
it's just like there's old desks turned over and lockers
and piles and books and I mean it's like, I
guess it's just where they threw all their ship.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
It hasn't seen anything since like the school's shut down
when they bent the new when they built a new
heights and high Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
They just threw everything up there on the third floor
to use the rooms in the first and the second floor,
and then the way Hunting East was like at least
that part of this high school is built. Is the
hallway or the main three floors is like a is
like a square, and then in the middle is the

(06:51):
was the like the courtyard where you could go out
and during your lunch into whatever. Yeah, well you don't
take care of that because nobody goes out there. So
it's like I look out the windows that look into
the courtyard and everything's overgrown. I even wears a big tray,
and I'm like it just it just felt a fucking creepy.
I booked it out of there and then went back

(07:14):
downstairs and finally asked about it, like where's the summer
school and they were like, oh, it's just through this
hallway here, And it was, I mean it was. It
was kind of like headed in. You wouldn't think, oh,
that's where it is. I would have loved since side
it's like a summer school classes this way instead of
just let me wander around and abandon hat in school.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, because the thing like for me, I've actually got
to explore the abandoned ruins of c K High School
forever ago.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
The ruin do you make it sound like it was
built by an ancient civilization?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
It was that's sing when they shut the place down.
I found it, like I explored it because I was saying,
the only thing that's put still there from the original
c K High School is the is the UH is
the gym. But so in the in the process of
it's like we're talking like the light. It was three

(08:06):
stories tall, but like you wouldn't believe that the amphitheater
was on the top floor and with a huge hole
in the Yeah, it was like the amphitheater was in
the top The library was like was with it, Like
all the books and stuff were still there from the
library been there since the place was shut down, and

(08:29):
like the there was this huge hole in the ceiling
and everything else. Like I'm disappointed that they didn't just
rework on it because that's the same because everything was
in there because when you went into the basement you
had to have light and stuff and it like in
that hallway, like it was like a mad sign.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
So they could turn that think into a perfect house.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
And it'd be amazing.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
What's like I remember when my mom works for the
Marshal Foundation, they used to keep all the records in
the the but a building. I don't know if you
I think they tore it down on ninety five a six,
but it was it used to be the it was
Butler Furniture, and they used to used to I mean

(09:11):
it was like their factory in their showroom. Well, Butler
went out and then the Foundation. It seems to be
near the stadium. Okay, I think I know what you're
talking about. And so the Foundation bought it and they
just went where they kept all their records, I mean
all their records. They just went to the Butler building.
And so I remember I just go with Mom to
have to go. She'd have me and my brother been

(09:33):
went her because it's like, you know, big ol'cute boxes
of like the financial records. She'd need to, yeah, you know,
tote there or toe back or whatever. And I remember
going there and there's hardly the lights on at all.
I mean you flip enough that you could see, and
there's just boxes and boxes and boxes and papers everywhere.

(09:56):
There's no rhyme or reason to anything, really, and I
think it's wondering where they've actually just moved there, like
I guess digitized the records and sold the Butler ability
and demolished it. But it was just it was real creepy.
And I remember Mom telling us that we weren't allowed

(10:18):
to get out of herm eyesight. I mean, because she's
like she's like, I'm illusion this mays of boxes and
stuff because me and my brother, yeah, I know, we'd
have gotten lost in there for day. Was shoeing matt
Or yeah. Yeah. And the neatest, creepiest thing about it
is the elevator to go up and down. It was
old tom elevators. There was real elevators. There's the accordion

(10:42):
wood door. Yeah, like the lattice that you have to
shut and then you pushed the lever up and then
you know, it creak up and then you you know,
you'd have to stop it and then pull it open.
We loved it because that was the coolest thing in
It's like, oh, it's like what you see in the movies.
But it was huge because their showroom was on the
bottom floor and the production facilities were in this like

(11:04):
second and the third and four. Yeah, so the elevator
was huge, so they could fit you know, a couch
and and you know, two chairs and you know, a
cabinet and then bringing all down once. But it was
I mean, it was so whiny and creaky, and you
know it would jerk shake it around everything, like we

(11:27):
thought it was cool, but in the hindsight, like we
probably should have been terrified, we're gonna plummet to our death.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, because for us, there's a point to where so
the Tri State Fire Academy, like we like after they
end up taking like tearing down the fire school where
the old you know.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Where like the the fifth.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Like it's so student apartments over by behind tutors.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
And all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, yeah, that used to be the like the original
Tri State Fire School, like and dad, and then we
actually used to teach there and all that well when
they eventually had to shut the place down and they
ended up moving the fire scold to where it is
now over on a higher river road. That's saying I
was there when they first start building that. I remember

(12:17):
because because like anybody who says they put their work
into it, I put my fucking work into that as
a kid, because for every fucking weekend for years.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Like child, Yeah no, we had to mow that.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like have you seen the Tristate Fire Academy up there
as of recent.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
It is like it is the size of a football field,
let's say, like it's the size of a football field.
We had to hand to mow that why because that's
what one of the things we had to do trying
to get because Dad was kind of like the treasurer
for and like we were the only ones that really
had the equipment to kind of help get the place
started up. Because if it says anything like how much

(13:01):
that like that school is like like we like we
Coddles helped that school.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
My grandfather's name is on a plaque on it, like
in like in front of that whole school where a
chair I'm amorim of Leroy Coddle who helped build the school. Yeah,
so it's like we've so like there's points like we've
set the alarm off many times because we ended up
getting through the back door because it used to be
some kind of school, and like there's a like as

(13:28):
they had like an because they had like a lunch room,
a gym, and a bunch of other stuff that we
worked our asses off rebuilding that place and like helping
take care of it. Like we mowed that thing multiple
times like almost like every week, and it would take
a few days. Yeah that's saying like yeah, because like

(13:49):
and every time like something happened, we'd actually go in
and like and do the things before they install the
fence and all that. Like I was like when it
came to the fire surface, we were in the middle
of it because of Dad, because Dad was also on
the treasury back when we had like when Huntington still
had the uh, the fire museum.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
We didn't end up.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Huntington had a fire museum for a very long time,
but it ended up getting shut down due to lack
of funding.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And it was and your dad sucked as a treasure. No,
it was more along the line.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
They couldn't get the funding and they ended up having
to shut down because of the City of Huntington, where
Huntington lets everything go. Because also a lot of people
were breaking in still in trying to steal all the
copper and stuff out of it because you.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Know, fuck people.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Where was this that It was some I can't remember
to be honest, Like it was in the back like
it was it was on the uh it.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Was towards Marshall across the tracks around that area. So
I would have to actually call Dad and to find out.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
I'll do that here in a moment.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
But yeah, that's saying because a lot of the stuff
we actually donated, and what was salvageable we donated. But
as another for short episodes, so will two episodes a day,
but until we see each other again
