Speaker 5 (01:58):
How you doing, I'm doing very well.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
How you day, I'm doing fine?

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Thank you super you look pretty good today, Well thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
You don't look so bad yourself, Well.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Thank you very much. All right, there we got that
part of.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
You doing.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And the show went off the rails from that point. Yes,
So how are things?

Speaker 5 (02:16):
They're they're just wonderful.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You're you excited about spring because it's it's coming?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yes, And I have no faith in groundhogs. Okay, first
of all, they're not even meteorologists. Okay, they're rodents. And
the reason that they give whatever is because whoever is
handling them messed with them and made them get up
earlier than they wanted to, so they figured they'll give
a bad report.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Groundhog's success rates are not very good. I mean, especially
the big one like Punkstani Phil, they're not very good.
We have our own meteorologists, and you.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Know, it's an excuse to have a big breakfast afterwards.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
That's all it is. And those breakfasts. I have a
few things to say about it.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I bet you do. So what's new? What's new with you?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well?

Speaker 5 (03:03):
I want to talk about the new passion, which is
not even brand new. I've been doing Mediterranean now for
over eight years, and of course I have a history
with weight Watchers for forty seven years and so being
able to give people the tools to help themselves is
really one of the driving forces in my heart, in

(03:24):
my head, what I want people to realize is number one,
Mediterranean is not a diet.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Not a diet.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
It is absolutely everything but a diet. And eating healthy
is like giving your body the medicine of staying alive
in a healthy way because we eat fresh, clean, unadulterated
food that doesn't have bad stuff in it. By bad stuff,
I'm talking about chemicals and preservatives, and if you were

(03:54):
to travel to that part of the world, the food
is so remarkably delicious because it doesn't have all of
those additives. And people are amazed at how good they
feel when they go to Italy, they go to Greece wherever,
and that is such a large region in that part
of the world, and we want to do that here

(04:16):
for a larger number of people. Most folks are running
their own personal lost and found department. And what that
means is they lose weight and darn it, then they
find it, and when they find it, they generally find
more than they lost.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, that's the way it works.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, And then they have to find excuses to explain
why they gain back more than they lost, and that
gets very very old and very boring.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
And any physician will tell you that the constant yo
yoing back and forth. You know, you lose thirty, gain forty,
lose forty, gain fifty, that's just as bad if I mean,
you don't want to wish morbid obesity on anyone, but
any doctor will tell you that you pretty much better.
It's harder in your body, the constant change.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
It absolutely absolutely because that yo yo effect. And it's
not just a five or ten pound yo yo. It's actually,
as you explain it, it can be thirty, forty, fifty,
one hundred pounds. And you often hear where people lose
ninety and then you're talking to them, well, I gain
back one hundred and twenty five or I gain back

(05:23):
one hundred and fifty. And nothing in this world is
more painful than that experience to lose weight inappropriately and
gain it back, and then where do you go from there?
So when I say that fresh, clean, healthy food is
your medicine, people need to hear that and how that
applies to them. Because on Mediterranean number one, there's nothing

(05:49):
restricted except we want you to eat clean food. We
want you to stop in the supermarket and make sure
that you read the bag of the label. Sometimes the
preservatives that are included in food are such a cobulated word.
I'm maybe not even saying that you want because that
your mouth can't even pronounce it.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
I mean. And all you've got to do is look
at the back of any of these labels and look,
I'm not sitting up on my high horse. I don't
always do what I'm supposed to do, but one of
the things I try to do is I literally I
try to look at a label and say, if I
can't pronounce it, I'm not going to eat it, and

(06:30):
I'm certainly not going to eat it every day.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
And if you did it once in a while, okay.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Fine, right, that's moderation.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
My point is that people think that they're not going
to come to Mediterranean because it's a diet, and it's
not a diet. And I'm seeing such great success among
the people that are coming to my morning group, and
I don't teach the evening class. There's a former weight
watcher leader by the name of Carmela Crawford, who is

(06:57):
teaching Mediterranean in the evening, and we're over at the
American Job Center on Leon Sullivan Way, And as I
shared with everyone earlier this year, we change locations and
it's a great place, plenty of good parking, and we
want people to come to experience for themselves. It's very affordable.
But more importantly, I want them to understand the benefits,

(07:20):
the long term health benefits. I mean, we're now hearing
that people with dementia and Alzheimer's are beginning to find
ways to clear that fog up with honey and certain
other ingredients added. And that's groundbreaking, but that's natural. That's

(07:41):
a way to do it naturally without using some of
these drugs that are making it worse. And we look
at drugs as the panacea. You know, there are so
many people who are taking the weight loss drugs. But
what happens when that stops? What did you learn? What
did you change? What did you experience that you can
actually say, Okay, now I know what to do. No,

(08:04):
you don't. And that's why eating healthily has such a
powerful impact. And we want people to understand that, not
about dieting. And then somebody's going to chastise you because
this week you gained the pound. You know what you did.
Everybody knows what they do. And when you got a mystery.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
When you teach your classes and you kind of reference
that there, you know there were I know that with
the Weight Watchers program, of which you were a part
of for many many years. We're not here to trash
them or anything like that, but no, no, exactly, but
you know there was always like the way in and
so on, and so how do you do you don't
do that with these classes.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
We have a way in, but we have a way
in only for one reason, as a personal barometer, so
that you can see what you are doing. It's not
a judgment call, right right, But in the old days,
and I will only speak with love about Weight Watchers
Beak because number one, first and foremost, they helped me

(09:03):
change my life and they showed me a pathway that
I never knew existed. And I did it with food.
I didn't do it with medicine. I used to take
medicine for years. I went to every barriater doctor in
the state of Maryland before I moved to West Virginia,
and every bariatric approach that I used. Yeah, I lost

(09:25):
weight when I was taking the drug. When I didn't
go back to that method, I gained it back because
I didn't learn anything. I didn't know how to eat.
And that statement many people who have weight to lose
say to me, do I look like I don't know
how to eat? Yes, you do know how to eat,
but you don't know how to eat correctly. And that's

(09:47):
that link that we want to offer two people to
show them what they don't know. Everybody thinks they know,
but they don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
This is a very good point. We have a texture here.
Listening to the show, text says, have you ever considered
merely taking groups through the grocery stores and help teach
how to read labels and to pick effective foods? Maybe
once or twice a month.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
I actually have thought about that. I haven't put it
into action, but I will say thank you because it
is a wonderful idea. Yeah, and instead of meeting, we
could meet at Kroger's or all these or wherever one
would like to go, or we can do it at Walmart.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
I mean it's a great idea.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
And don't be fooled by something that says low fat
or fat free that could be your biggest enemy sometimes,
or things or that has the word diet.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
And the thing on the label that people need.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
To turning your microphone off. You keep turning your microphone off,
and you've got a little button under the microphone and
you keep hitting it and turning your microphone.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Oh, we won't make that mistake again.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
The most important thing when we read labels is not
even looking at the fat content. We need to look
at the sugar content ten And if it has more
than five grams of sugar, leave it on the shelf
for somebody else to buy. Don't put it in your cart.
Sugar by the way, and a lot of people don't
know this, but cancer feeds on sugar. I'm learning, and yes,

(11:18):
and I'm I mean that you're learning the hard way.
But of course your prognosis is encouraging. And I want
I pray for your success certainly, and I think that
other people have told you that, oh, you're gonna be successful.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I'm going to be success, But.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
People don't know this. People don't know this. And personally,
when I see people who have morbid obesity as part
of their life, I want to say something.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't you're doing it again. I am ware that's
right in front of you.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Okay, I'm going to keep my heart up here.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
If there's a little little square right in front of you,
oh it says on yes, and you keep hitting.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
It, oh well, okay, then.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Gup your elbow. Okay, away from that.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Now everybody knows that technical stuff is in my strong suit.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well at least you're pretty thank you. There's that. All right,
go ahead, get in and I have another text for you.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But go ahead.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
So people, don't you know, people just have so much
to learn. And I worry about all these drugs that
are out there for weight loss. You have to change
your mind about your body and drugs doing that for you.
There's something missing there and I worry about them.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
My wife and I were talking about this the other day.
We were on the We don't watch a lot of
TV during the week, but sometimes we'll catch up on
the weekend and I usually have it on some sort
of a news show or whatever. Sure, and just simply
the amount of television commercials that there are. It's one
after another for this pill, not all related to diet,

(12:48):
but I mean for this pill and for that pill.
The commercials are ninety seconds long or two minutes, and
if they're ninety seconds, fifty seconds of that is telling
you the side effects A and and again it could
be for any number of things merely not necessarily related
to diet. Could be any number of things. And I'm
a big believer, and I don't really know a whole

(13:09):
lot in this world, but I'm a big believer in
not a single thing is going to be helped by
putting more medicine. Now I'm not I understand people have
to take medications, but but I mean, I'm simply not
going to be that guy. I'm fifty five now, I'm
not going to be that guy at sixty five who
starts out every day by taking fifteen pills. Not happening.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
And I respect, but and some people simply think that
drugs are the answer, and if anything, they're the stumbling block.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, and that stumbling block is huge. And one pill
begets another pill. And so we're going to give you
this pill because this is wrong with you. And then
we're going to give you this pill because that'll counteract
this pill. And you know you're spending all your time
at your give.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
The doctor if they just read all the side effects
on the television screen and that's not the way to
live your life.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
But Dave Allen showing five eighty line brought to you
in a part by your hometown baseball team, The Charles
the Dirty Birds. It's winter time now, but we're already
thinking about baseball at Gomart ballpark'd be a great time
to go ahead and get your season tickets your Dirty
Birds merchant more visit dirtybirdsbaseball dot com. We got a
text here for you since I got a pretty serious
health issue and had to get on the Mediterranean way
of eating. Never felt better in my life, even with

(14:23):
the serious health issue. Stop eating all the sugary, salty,
fried crap people. By the way, Millie's one of my
favorite people in.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Thank you very much. And by the way, crap is
one of my favorite words. But now that I heard
it come out of somebody else's mouth, I can say
it because that's exactly what is in the foods that
we are buying, and it's dangerous and it's keeping people sick.
Congratulations to that person. I also hope their health issues
get better and better. But the fact that this person

(14:54):
is saying eating Mediterranean is they feel better than they
felt in a long time. Kudos to you, and kudos
to the Mediterranean. By the way, I listened to a
broadcast the main doctor for the Woman's Heart Center in
Los Angeles at Cedar Sinai Hospital. She was doing a
telecast and she said, Mediterranean is the way to go.

(15:17):
And that's a pretty large institution and they have a
wide reach to hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions
of people. Mediterranean is the way to go. I'm not
just saying it because you know, I want to make
myself feel good. I want people to discover what I
found out eight years ago. And I thought I knew

(15:38):
all that she knows to know. And a friend of
mine guided me to Mediterranean. I put myself on it.
There was no group. I became a group and I
did it for five weeks and I've never looked back.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's wonderful. Remind people when and where your classes.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
We meet at the American Job Center for twenty sixth
Leon Sullivan Way. We have a nine to thirty class
Thursday morning at a five thirty class Thursday evening. Please come.

so I'm trying to, you know, get her in, get
the next, get her out, get the next guest. But

(18:49):
they wanted to know about restaurants that serve Mediterranean menus
and the texture says, I work seventeen hour days and
two jobs. It sounds like you're perfect for radio. Text
her out. He just could just come on in. Uh,
but I just off the top of my head here
in the area uh olive tree, Uh in in South Charleston,

(19:09):
Mediterranean breeze Uh Aladdin she mentioned Aladdin.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
And Okay, all right, go on, chump, jump on in here.

Speaker 10 (19:18):
Best of crete over on the west Side is one
of my place's favorite places to get a euro.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Okay, that's right.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Well, and every restaurant, I mean, save McDonald's and Wendy's
and then you know, are going to have something on
the menu that I had dinner uh with a with
a good friend of mine last week at Sohos and
uh he ordered the salmon. And I don't know what
I've ever sent to. I mean, I don't know if
I've ever seen a better piece of salmon in my

(19:44):
life than what they have at Soho's over there my
go to as always. And I don't know whether this
is Millie Snyder prune or not. I I love the
caesar salad. Probably not gonna be Melly approve because of
the of the dressing, but I get put the black
pepper shrimp on it and uh, and it's it's one
of my favorite things there. So yeah, to answer, I mean,
just off the top of our heads, Mediterranean Breeze, olive Tree, Aladdin.

(20:07):
You said, creepy on the West Side, and then every
place is going to have something on the menu. Even
if you go to an Applebee's or you go somewhere
like that, they're going to have something that's a little
bit more healthier. Dave, don't forget uh creepy Pizza Corridor.

Speaker 11 (20:27):
G Oh yeah, cre pizza pizza.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Okay, the spelling kind of got me on that.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
I think that they ke combined pizza Barbarossa, Okay, and
then the Crak place up in South Charleston.

Speaker 11 (20:39):
I think that they can get all of that yummy
stuff over there.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
All right, our resident food critic, Amanda McDonald is here
from the West Virginia. You know what you got to eat?
I started eating when I was really really young, Amanda,
and just never got out of the habit. It's a
it's a thing, the thing about you know what Millie
talks about with the Mediterranean diet. It's actually good. I
mean if you like that, and there's people like what

(21:02):
they I was raised. You eat what's on your plate.
You don't ask questions. So I have that kind of
a palate that I can literally eat anything. And but
the food is really good. I mean I love that.
I love that stuff.

Speaker 11 (21:14):
Anything with fresh ingredients it's going to be great.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Fresh ingredients is good. All right. So what's going on
with the Western Neian Symphony.

Speaker 10 (21:21):
Well, we have got lots of stuff going on right now.
I am really really excited. This Saturday and Sunday, we're
actually going to be doing some Shakespeare on.

Speaker 11 (21:28):
Stage with the orchestra.

Speaker 10 (21:29):
Okay, yeah, so we are going to be joined by
our friends at the WU School of Theater and Dance,
and the second half of the show we're going to
be playing pro kobms Romeo and Juliet, and in between
pieces of the orchestra playing our actor friends are going
to be performing pieces of Shakespeare's famous love Famous the
Love Fact on stage.

Speaker 11 (21:49):
We're really excited.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Nice, So, how did this all come about? Is this
something that you've done in the past.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
So we have we're a really great relationship with WU
as all of our different colleges throughout the state. We
actually have a love our musicians, our professors at ABU,
so we have got a really great connection. In last fall,
we connected with the puppetry department and they created some amazing,
humongous puppets to go alongside tre Vincy's Firebird on stage.

Speaker 11 (22:14):
So that went over super well.

Speaker 10 (22:15):
And Maurice Cone, our music director, loves to try to
do some new and fun, innovative things to pair with
our classical music, and this just really seemed to be
a great fit. So we're really excited to welcome some
actors on stage. At the beginning of this show and
the Charleston performance, we're going to be welcoming our youth
Symphony on stage two to do a side by side
with the orchestra. So Saturday's concerts are really going to

(22:38):
be a lot of community and state collaborations, which you're
really excited to do.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Good stuff because stuff you can we're talking about the
man the McDonald from the Syphony Orchestra, and you're talking
about Maurice, your director, who's been on the show with
us several times in the past. One of the things
I love about what he does and what you guys
as a group do is that it's not just I mean, look,
when you say symphony, people kind of think, oh, it's
nose up in the air. It's kind of it's far

(23:04):
from it. I mean, because I've been to the performances.
I mean, you guys do a lot of fun stuff
and a lot of times stuff that people wouldn't expect,
and it's really really cool the way you do it.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (23:15):
Well, and it's something that we love to be able
to bring have those kind of two worlds to meet.
West Virginia has such a rich music history and a
rich cultural history too, and we have some amazing groups
that perform throughout the state and it's really exciting whenever
we can welcome those to participate and kind of have
those two worlds meet.

Speaker 11 (23:36):
Yeah, I mean, we could not be more excited to
partner with I mean, the School of Theater Dance at
w IS.

Speaker 10 (23:43):
You know, fantastic. These students have been working really really hard.
They're gonna everything's gonna come together really really quickly.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
This week.

Speaker 10 (23:50):
We've got rehearsals on Thursday and Friday, and then one
more on Saturday morning, So four rehearsals for this whole
big thing to have about fifty music orchestra of musicians
come together, I think about fifteen different actors on stage.
And then if you add in our youth symphony, we've
got a lot of different removing parts. And it's one
of those things where I just really am excited to
be able to bring this to our you know, it's

(24:12):
such a special thing for us to have not only

Talking to Aman McDonald again for the West Virginia Symphony
twenty nine minutes away from Tana Dave Alan Show and
five eighty line brought to you in part by Pinnacle Consultants,
Helping to identify environmental concerns as bestis led Mold and
more and all sorts of indoor quality issues buildings all
across the state providing inspections, testing, and accredited lab services
you can trust. Check out Pinnacle Corp dot net helping

(24:35):
you understand your environment because what you don't know can
hurt you. Talk about the importance of getting youth, the
utes involved in this stuff.

Speaker 11 (24:43):
In the young people, well, I mean they are the future, right.

Speaker 10 (24:46):
I mean if we do not continue to have our
youth involved, and not only classical music, but music and
arts in general, we will not be able to continue
on these on for the next generations and generations. We
have such a very strong Western Youth Symphony, so this
is something we look forward to every single year, bringing
them on stage with the orchestra musicians. They get a
sip side by side. A lot of times middle schoolers

(25:08):
and high schoolers besides these professional musicians that really could
see themselves in that spot in the next five, ten.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
Fifteen years.

Speaker 10 (25:15):
Even so, I think it's a really fun way to
have an adult professional meet a young amateur. But it's
also a really great way to show these students what
their future could be. A lot of these a lot
of kids don't necessarily get a step foot on the
clay Center stage, which is such an exciting part anyway,
that just to be able to sit on the stage

(25:36):
with those red seats in the background, with the acoustic
set of Hall provides is just such an amazing experience.
And when we can get some youth into playing music
and acting and doing all of these things in the
creative outlet, it really is going to give us such
a good foundation for their future.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, and you know the reason I asked that is
because the knock on these kids today is that it's
hard to get some kids motivated to want to do anything.
I mean, even numbers in sports are when you go
to certain schools, will tell you that we can't get
kids to come out anymore. Not every kid if they do,
if they choose, I mean, not every kid is going
to be a star athlete. And I'm a big believer

(26:15):
in any educator will I don't have kids, but any
educator will tell you that you get kids involved in something,
you know, have them whether it's theater, whether it's dance,
whether it's music, whether it's football, whether it's what whatever,
their church whatever, get them get them involved in something
that they care about.

Speaker 10 (26:31):
Oh yeah, Well, and we have a lot of different
opportunities for youth and students and kids to get involved
with the symphony. We do our yearly Young People's concerts,
which we actually bust kids in from all over the
state to different locations.

Speaker 11 (26:45):
We were in Clarksburg and Morgantown, in.

Speaker 10 (26:48):
Parksburg, Parkersburg, Charleston in these past few years, so really
bringing them to the art is really awesome.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
And then we have.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Such a great program with our string educators in the
Cannock County to where we actually have are some of
our musicians, some of our employees are string educators and
they go out into the community into the schools as
well too, So it's a really great way to kind
of get everybody tasted. And yeah, I mean, we got
to keep these kids motivated and excited for things. And
we have this amazing program called our WBSO Passport program

(27:15):
for these is for students twelve and under. They get
a free passport like a paper passport you would get
to be able to go around the world, but this
is who go to all of our symphony concerts for
the year. So that passport they take it to the
box office will get them a free ticket and their parent.
We have stamps for the passport and prizes you in
at the end. But things like that are programs that
we really look forward to. Have brought in a ton

(27:36):
of new faces, old and young, so we really look
forward to kind of continuing to push those things and
continuing to bring young faces into this orchestra.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
And a text here Amanda said, do you have a
playlist available for the March fourteenth music for the Big Screen?
Is it all John Williams?

Speaker 10 (27:52):
It is not all John Williams. I will give you
a little hit. We do have some John Williams. We've
definitely can't have a music show without John. Yeah, for sure,
and that will be posted a little bit as we
get closer. We like to and sometimes announce those selections
from the stage make it really exciting. But that show
will have lots of John Williams. I'm excited. We'll be

(28:12):
doing some Henry Mancini and Moon River, so you've got
a lot of taste of them of the music in
the movies, so that'll be a really fun one. I
always sell our pop series is if you are not
familiar with classical music, it's a great way to step
your toe in and get excited. It's familiar music that
you're used to listening to, but in a really great,
a fund new setting.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I think you and I talked about this once before.
One of my favorite things to go down the rabbit
hole if I'm listening to music is to go and
find music that are just incredible mashups. And I mean
Metallica performed with the Melbourne Orchestra and it's one of
the most you can find it on YouTube. It's one
of the most amazing concerts that you'll ever see. Metallica,

(28:53):
the Mighty Metallica, Ok. Yeah, with the orchestra.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (28:57):
Well. And I think classical music is has an air
of it sometimes we think of it in a certain way,
but it really is wonderfully accessible. We have seen orchestras
perform not only with heavy metal music bands like Metallica,
but with rap artists, to do movie concerts in different
music and actually bring the stage and the film to

(29:19):
life along with the orchestra underneath of it. So there's
a lot of ways to make what we think of
as you know, high tooting.

Speaker 11 (29:27):
I'm really really accessible.

Speaker 10 (29:29):
And I think our musicians here at this West Virginia
Symphony here and Charleston specifically do an excellent job of
meshing our classical music in with our community music too.
Dave Porter, who is a fantastic trumpeter around town, is
one of our very highly touted classical trumpeters too. So
musicians can play lots for different hats, and I think

(29:51):
that that's a really great way to kind of span
the horizon too.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Let me give you another one. You can look up
and you're gonna tell you and you're going to say, Dave,
you've been drinking, okay, but I have not? Okay, all right, uh,
And you can find it on YouTube. Sir mix a
lot with this Seattle Symphony doing Baby Got Back. Yeah,
it's killer. I mean, you got to look at it well,
and is it.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
You cannot get more of a collaboration or more of
a way to touch people by then combining a classical
violin with sir mix a lot fun.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
I mean, And I just remember looking up that clip
and again it's available on YouTube, that that clip of
seeing these musicians in their tuxedos and whatever, and the
expressions on their face when they get to the intro
the I like big butts and I cannot lie. It's
it's it's good stuff. I mean really yeah.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Well it's one of those things where I mean, good
music regardless of what, regardless of it's classical music or
pop or rap or heavy metal, makes us move, It
makes us excited. And I think what we're doing with
the symphony is definitely that.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
You got another suggestion here. As huge as the re
emergence of Elvis has been over the last few years, well,
they consider an Elvis theme show, maybe with an Elvis
tribute artist.

Speaker 11 (31:04):
I love that, Dave. I absolutely love that.

Speaker 10 (31:06):
We work on trying to bring things like that to
our pop series all the time, so I will definitely
take that suggestion back. We are actually getting really really
close to finalizing our twenty six twenty seven season for
next year, so Elvis may not be on this late
for next year, but maybe in the years to come.

Speaker 11 (31:23):
I'm really really excited about what we do have.

Speaker 10 (31:25):
To offer for twenty six twenty seven. They're again finalizing
that right now. They've got me under lock and key,
but here really really soon. I'm excited to it. Well,
we'll be excited to announce that and all of these
mashups and things that we talk about are going to
be really represented in the next season.

Speaker 11 (31:41):
So again I'm really excited. They keep telling me I
have to keep.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
My cross mother, and I don't want to get you fired.

Speaker 11 (31:45):
Okay, I'm not very good to keep a secrets.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
And somebody along the same line Sex and about Trans
Siberian Orchestra. I mean, that's a good example of somebody
who took some really really great music and did it
in a totally different way. You think about their Christmas stuff,
but they go well beyond the Christmas stuff too.

Speaker 11 (32:00):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
All right, give us a rundown of your upcoming shows again.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
Okay, So we've got this Saturday in Charleston on February

beach party thing. And of course the highlight last year

do a whole show in this sometime you could go
down an entire rabbit hole of and I've done it
on YouTube or whatever your music sources of people doing
songs that you wouldn't expect. I'll counter that texture with
there's a clip of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith doing amazing Grace.

(37:57):
And you would think that when you say that allowed
that like the it's in a church with some other
gospel singers, you would think that the church would just
implode on site. A good singer or a good performer,
a good musician is a good musician, no matter what
genre they're doing. So I'll counter yours texture with look

due respect, could probably not be any more different, but

(39:45):
they are aligned on a similar cause and it has
to do with proposed term limits for elected officials in
the city of Charleston. They're going to join me to

wv Metronews dot com. The Canawa County Board of Education
has approved a three year contract extension for Superintendent Paula Potter. Now,
Jeff talked with school board president Rick Cavett, who said, quote,
we're all very impressed with the level of detail doctor
Potter is giving when it comes to leading the system

(40:53):
in quotes. Now, in the meantime, you probably have heard
that the Canal is looking at cutting something like one
hundred and forty jobs for the next school year. That
announcement came out around noon on Monday, and according to
a release from the board's office, these cuts should not
result in future school closures. The school system has somewhere

(41:15):
in the neighborhood of about nine hundred and seventy students
that have left the system. I think that was as
of a couple of years ago. They're still looking at
the system, but it's about nine hundred and seventy students
that have left the school board or I'm sorry the
public school system story posted by Jeff Jenkins at wv

See Dealer for details. Under the heading of the world

(41:56):
may be coming to an end, the Charleston Gazette mail
this morning is giving praise giving praise to West Virginia
Secretary of State Chris Warner for refusing the Trump administration
request to turn over election data, which would be a
direct violation of West Virginia state law. We talked about

(42:17):
a little bit last week and midday the boys talked
about it on talk line with Secretary Warner. But look
editorializing on my part now, he did the right thing.
As the Gazette pointed out, elections are under the banner
of state business, they're not federal government. And again, and
I'm just beating the old Samuel drum here more examples

(42:39):
my opinion of certain Republicans in power wanting to take
things out of local control and have it under the
thumb of DC or in many cases Charleston. It's totally,
in my opinion, totally Unrepublican and totally unconservative, because conservatives,

(43:03):
I thought, and Republicans I thought, we're about smaller government,
keeping DC, keeping Charleston out of your life. So I
almost spit my coffee out this morning because I'm the
guy that still you know, reads the hard copy of
the paper Rip Dug scaff and I just picked it up.

(43:23):
And they're praising Secretary of State Chris Warner on the
op ed pages of the gazetemail. Soon dogs will be
sleeping with cats and so on and so forth. Texas.
Why does five eighty have news segments about doctor Paula
Potter's salary? Been hearing it all morning. You almost be
pandering to them. Maybe she shouldn't be paid so much
and other people would have jobs crowd In my opinion,

(43:45):
she got hired to, says a Textter, at least catastrophically
as possible, land a plane that's low on fuel and
as an engine on fire. I'd want more than one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars to be the face of
consolidation and job cuts. Well, I mean, that's part of
the story. I mean, And look, I have no problem
with paying people what they're worth. And doctor Paula Potter

(44:05):
is the superintendent of Canalla County School's largest school system
in the state, and She's been an employee for thirty years,
and I think us reporting this salary is not the
same as damning her for it or the school system.
It's just it's just the fact they got a contract extension,
and that's what she makes public record. Texas. I thought

(44:25):
Trump was good for Cole. Why have over one thousand
coal jobs been cut since Trump started the second term?
Tariffs don't have any effect on export and markets, do
they question Mark? Nope, it's all Obama and Biden and
Clinton's fault. Sens a tax. If you have a kid

That rally at the State Capitol ground starts at twelve
thirty today. Well, of course will be covering that, and
as I said, Chris Hamilton, president of the West Virginia
Cole Association, will joined us to talk about it tomorrow
on the show Real Quick. I was one of the
many folks who got held up in all that traffic

(48:36):
mess out near the shops Trace Fork and Corridor G
yesterday about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, I had to make
a quick trip down to the Homeland in La yesterday,
or I thought it was going to be quick. Tractor
trailer overturned and round the interest to the shops at
trace Fork. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how
that happened. They had to reroute traffic around the stores up.

(48:58):
There was a mess for a while, still fouled up
in the southbound lane when I came back through around
six thirty or so last night. I just really want
to know how in an area which the traffic is
always slow going between the shops to Trace Fork and
South Ridge on down the road and Buffalo Wild Wings
and everything, Sam's and all that other stuff. Just I'm

(49:18):
trying to figure out how someone managed to get up
enough speed to turn over a semi truck on its side.
Things that make you go hm, people that make me
go hmmm are standing by at the Capitol right now.
It's Wilson Meadows the talk line. Boys. How we doing hmm?

Speaker 3 (49:38):
So how's that?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
We're good?

Speaker 4 (49:39):
So how does it work?

Speaker 2 (49:40):
How exactly does that happen? I mean, and I hope
nobody was injured. I'm just trying to figure out how
somebody manages at the entrance to the shops to Trace
Fork and TG. I know you're very familiar with that area.
How does somebody get up enough speed and attractor trailer
to turn it over at the entrance?

Speaker 9 (49:58):
Dude? Ude, never never put anything past anybody that's willing
to try.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (50:05):
I don't know the physics of it, but nothing on
that highway surprises me.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
I'll put it that way. I thought I was going
to make a quick trip down to the Homeland yesterday,
