the Mayor of South Charleston, Frank Mullins Junior, Good morning, sir,
and welcome, good morning, good morning show. Thanks to having me.
Da've always always glad to be here, always glad to

(02:29):
have you. Yeah, all right, So first of all, I
have to ask you, Yeah, how's winter time been for
South Charleston. I mean, because you know, it's it's been.
It's it's been a rough one. Just went through another round,
you know, Sunday night at the Monday morning, looking pretty
good out there for the next several days. But how's
winter time been for something? It's been, It's been tough.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
It's been.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Uh, you know, we've got through it pretty good, but uh,
you know, assault rationing is a serious concern. Hopefully we
don't get any more snow for a while. Because we're
pretty much out and I think that's pretty much the
consensus around the state. And I know, I know we've
with this state. We've used out to them a couple
of times. I know they're running low to Charleston. I
know our directors talked yesterday, both public works directors talked,
and we're all going.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Through the same thing.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
And when when you have storms that spread throughout most
of the country like this one has, and everybody's trying
to replenish their salt it and and then rivers freeze
on top of that, making it tough for the barges
to get up and down.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's uh. I remember this happening back in the nineties
when I.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Was director of Public Works, and it's a it's a
nerve wracking time for the public works director, but we'll
get through it well.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
And again this has been and this winter has been
one that it just seems like that we haven't had
And I talked to Brian Hughes meteorologists about this from
time to time. It's not that it's been that bad
of a winter overall. It's just that we had the
one snow in January that didn't go anywhere. Yeah, you know,
because we had that was the weekend where we had

(03:46):
the you know, the snow, the freezing rain, the rain,
and then and it was and that snow stuck around
for like two weeks and it just kept refreezing and refreezing.
We had a couple of more events after that. But
you're right, the salt issue is is a big, a
big issue. Yeah, it's a big issue, and particularly for us.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
You know, we're known for the snower move on South
charlest and so you know it's not supposed to stick
in our city, but it may if it comes again.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Let's hope not. You guys have our as you said,
did you probably won't want to pat yourself on the back,
but I mean a lot of people would pat the
city of South trol about people that I work with
here in the building to live in South Charles and
they say, you guys really go above and beyond that. Yeah,
we take a lot of pride in that.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
That's something we you know, we are garbage collection of
snow re move on South Charleston. Those are two things
I always tell your public works guys, don't that's the
two things you don't mess up in South Charleston. Garbage
collector of snow removing. So yeah, but they're good at
they do a good job and we'll get through it.
We'll get through it. How are things uh in South
Charlest what's new? Yeah, everything's been. The newest thing we
just did is is we I think I talked to
you about it on another show. I think as we

(04:41):
cut the ribbon on anports, esports and gaming new facility
to Community Center. So we're excited about that. Uh, South
Charleston High School's got a class pertains to that. They
came down and participated in it. We've reached out to
some of our colleges who have that in their colleges
as well, and we're hoping to get some tournaments and
competition going soon.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So for those who may or for those who may
have heard that in you we did a couple of
weeks ago and I producer Ryan Nicholson to ask a
couple of questions in there as well. We appreciate that,
but explain what E sports is. I'll do the best
I can. Tag it back in again. But yeah, well,
I mean it's you know, it's we're good right now.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
A lot of different games on on there now where
it's it's a competitive situation to where kids are even
get scholarship to go to college on these kind of things.
Now what we called back in today video video, what
we called video games, A little different scenario, a lot
uh yeah, a lot of different scenario. And I don't
know how well I can explain. I need some of
my younger staff to come on and do it, maybe,
but uh, but it's exciting and it's uh and again

(05:36):
it's just it brings it can bring. It's almost like
think about this, think about bringing baseball and soccer tournaments
to your community and how how what an economic impact
that has, and bring it to your hotels and your restaurants.
And this kind of opens up the opportunity to do
that and this kind of activity as well, and maybe
even more so. And it was I think I shared
with it was born out of our design of our
new facility where we're we're hoping to build soon and

(05:58):
and I just decided to go ahead and pulled the
trigger and let's get started at the community center and
see how well is received.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I mean, this thing is huge, as you said, and
again older people not old older people. I guess we said,
what video games for me? It's like I'm thinking, pac Man, Paul,
you know, because I'm old, but it's become a totally
different thing. And you said, students get college scholarships for
this now, and before you do what I have a

(06:24):
tendency to do, which it Yeah, these young kids today
or whatever. A couple of things to keep in mind.
What those games do, what we call quote unquote games
teaches a lot of skills that are Last week I'll
give you example. Last week I talked to Chris Hamilton
from the Coal Association on the show, and he was
talking about the modern coal mine, and you can transform
this into any business that you want a lot of

(06:46):
those skills that they're using were learned on these e sports. Yeah,
you know, I mean like robotics and things of that nature.
So it's not just about playing games for a living.
It's about transitioning those skills into other things. Yeah, we
go through that too.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Surprised how much of that from a technology standpoint you
have to learn now to do jobs we used to
remember as being on the.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Line in the plants.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah, and how long it takes now for those folks
to learn that skill set to be on the line.
I went through it with a stamp with all the
modern technology for stamping out car parts that they go
through takes two to three years sometimes the edit creating
train these folks to do those jobs. Just what you're
talking about because of technology. Yeah, it's amazing, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
We're talking to South Charleston May Frankmullin's a day Island
show and five eighty line has brought you in part
by Pinnacle Consultants help me to identify environmental concerns as best.
It's led mold, indoor quality issues and buildings all across
the state, providing inspections, testing and accredited lab services you
can trust. Check out Pinnacle Corp dot net helping you
understand your environment because what you don't know can hurt you.
Let's talk retail in South Charleston.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Things going up, things happening. Yeah, talking those things going well.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
We cut a couple of ribbons on some small businesses
downtown here here in the last couple of weeks as well.
But park places what folks are always really interested in.
It's going very well. Matter of fact, I put my
hard hat on and went and tour to New Kroger
facility just this week and it's it's amazing inside. Uh,
what's gonna what's gonna be in there? I think people
are gonna be excited. I know people are excited about
it because I hear about it every day.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
And this Kroger that is coming to park Place, he
is unlike any other Kroger that you've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
The first one in the state of West Virginia is
called a marketplace. And so they they do more than groceries,
although groceries are still there, you know, it's still their
big their big deal.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
They have that what they call soft products as well,
which you'll see in any wal Mart or Target or
things like that, outdoor furnit or clothing, cook wear, whatever
it may be.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
You know.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
So they have some other things in there as well.
But I mean, like I say, I toured this facilitan
just the just the area where they're going to have
their beauty products for example. Man, it's amazing. It's almost
like a store in its own and so on a
sushi bar and the wine and cheese and just everything
that it has that we don't have now. And I
think people are going to be real excited once we
get that t one hundred and twenty two thousand square
foot store compared to the fifty thousand square foot we

(08:53):
have across the street to Riverwock kind of gives you
an idea of the size.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
And I'm just kind of curious, and you don't have
to tell us if you can't. But what what Lon
didn't want to do that in South Charleston because that's
a pretty big feather in the capital the city of
South Charleston. When you think that this is the first
one like it in the state. Charleston doesn't have it,
Morgantown doesn't have it, Huntington doesn't have it.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
The South Charleston does well, you know, I think, And
just real quickly, the backstory to it is, you know,
Kruger came on board early on in this project and
then they kind of left. They had they had a
big change in their corporate headquarters, real estate, folks changed hands,
leadership changed hand, and they changed their mind they weren't
going to do it. And then this a couple of
years later. As a matter of fact, I mentioned that
to our folks that are working on So let's reach
back out to them. It's been a couple of years.

(09:31):
See if they have some more interesting and lo and
behold they did, and the new leadership came in they
wanted to come back. Why, Dave, I think is the
site itself. It's like we've been going to I haven't
done it, but I've sent my staff. They've gone to
Vegas with our developer. And one of the things that's
so attractive about this area highest traffic count in the
state of West Virginia is right there on Route sixty
Jefferson park Our Jefferson Road. I'm sorry so that that

(09:53):
traffic count in itself makes that site so attractive, and
I think that has a lot to do with all
the all the the the interest we've had from retailers
around the country to come there.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I've said this for a long time. It's still true today.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
We have more interest than we have space Oblata, which
is a good thing that's allowed us to be a
little bit choosy. So I can't answer for Kroger's the
wives specifically they want to do this particular marketplace. But
at the end of the day, I think a lot
of it has to do with that traffic count.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, we had to tax. Somebody said, do we have
a projected opening for the new Kroger.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yes, June this. Yeah, Now, remember those dates are always
a moving target.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Especially when we'll go back to the weather for a moment. Yeah,
they reached out to us.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
If you all remember, there was a story not too
long ago about Kroger's game plan for the area and
what they were going to do, and and also in
that conversation I had with them, they targeted to June.
The third, which I believe is the Winds the first
Wednesday in June as the grand opening for the new facility,
and you'll be.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
There with a ribbon ready to they're ready to go, Yes, sir.
What about the other stores out there? Well, if you
look over there now, you see actually four things under construction.
Obviously the Kroger. There'll be two buildings.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
You see one going up being directed the steel you
see the steal up now, another identical building, just identical
to that, will be going up right beside it. Those
will house seven retailers of piece, some of them I've
already announced, like Sketchers and Mister Magoo and Nothing, Bunt Cake,
some of the smaller businesses will go in there. There'll
be fourteen altogether. And then if you look farther to
the west, just the very west end of the property,

(11:18):
next to the office of the interstate exit, you'll see
the fuel station for Kroger going up as well. The
canopy is already up there and it's ready to go
as well. So those are the four things being built.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You'll see Mission Barbecue begin this spring. We have had
great contact with Minards now it looks like they're about
ready to go as well. We're expecting their building plans
any day so we can issue their building permit. So
I expect them to be started this spring as well.
So things are really starting to pick up pace over there,
and hopefully by this time next year we'll see a
lot of shopping going on.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I'm gonna say, if you had a proje and again
things can change, Yeah, just like with Kroger. Yeah, but
with a projected when pretty much everything is done, what
would that be.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
I would say, probably be the summer of twenty seven,
when everything's done this or twenty six. I'm sorry, no, no,
I'm sorry, twenty seven, twenty six already, don't get it.
So yeah, so this summer what you'll see is what
we call Phase one. The stores I just mentioned to you,
and those those will all should be opened by this summer,
and then the next phase, what we call Phase two,
which will close on sometime this summer as well, and

(12:18):
then you'll see those buildings starting to go up. They
should be completed by no later than the spring and
summer of twenty seven, and we should.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Wash their hands this and be done.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Everybody's shopping and shopping and eating and having a good time.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
How things gone over all. You mentioned Jefferson Road with
the jail. I was through there late one night last
week and had been in southern part of the state.
For me, living in Putnam County, it's always easy to
get off that Davis Creek and kind of bypass everything.
Just amazed at the at the ease of getting through
there now and the improvement.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
It's been amazing, and it's done exactly what we hoped
it will do, which is keep that continuous flow of
traffic going going out to Quarter g Now, whether you're
going to Low's or going to get something to eat
or wherever you're going, it's just so much easier time.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm through there four or five times a day.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
I live in Spring Hills City Halls, and you know downtown,
I'm down there going through it a bunch and then
just the fact and your your muscle memory still tells
you when you see a train like, oh no, there's
a train up.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
What I'm going to do?

Speaker 5 (13:10):
But then you realize I don't have to fool with
that anymore? Right, So it's just that is that is
that upgrade was so needed. Uh, and it's done exactly
what we thought it would do. I think, Dame, You're right,
so convenient.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
So Charleston, maryor Frank mant it's always a pleasure to
have you on the show.

He of course passed away twenty fifteen. Here to talk
about his good friend and what's going on tomorrow this
ceremony is the head coach of the men's basketball team,
the Yellow Jackets West Virginia State University, Brian port Good morning, Sarah,

(16:46):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 7 (16:48):
Good morning. Always a good time to be on your show,
and certainly anytime I get to talk about Earl Lloyd,
it makes it extra special.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
You and I have talked coach several times over the
years about Earl Lloyd. But for those who may not know,
give us the bio of Earl Lloyd and why he's
so important to not only West Virginia State University, but
the culture of basketball and to be honest with you,
and not to engage in hyperbole, but the entire country.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Yeah. So, Earl came to the campus of wes Virginia
State in nineteen forty six and played for a coach
at that time was Mark Cardwell, and so Earle played
here from nineteen forty six to nineteen fifty. The nineteen
forty eight team was thirty and oh and the only
undefeated team in college basketball at any level, and so

(17:40):
they had obviously an outstanding team. At the end of
the nineteen fifty season, he was drafted by the Washington
Capitals in the ninth round of the NBA and went
on to make that team and then as the way
the schedule fell, because Chuck Cooper was actually the first
black player to get drafted, and who was drafted by

(18:01):
the Boston Celtics in the second round that year and
in Sweetwater Clifton was the first black player to sign
an NBA contract. But the way the schedule fell, Earl
became the first black basketball player to ever step foot
into a game in the NBA in cover thirty first
nineteen fifty the team folded. He spent year and a

(18:23):
half two years in the army. At that time, the
Korean War was going on. When he gets out of
the Army, the Syracuse Nationals, who is now the Sill
left his seventy six ers pick him up and he
becomes one of the first two black players to win
an NBA championship in nineteen fifty five. And then he
went on to finish his career with the Detroit Pistons

(18:46):
and he becomes the first black assistant coach in the
NBA with them, and then becomes the first black full
time head coach in the NBA as the year before that,
Bill Russell was a player slash coach for the Bass
and Celtics. So you know, Earl was, like I say,
he was a fantastic player, and he became the first

(19:08):
black player in the NBA, first black champion, first black
assistant coach, and the first black full time head coach
in the NBA. So he was quite the pioneer, tied to.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Coach Brian Porr West Virginia State University. Beyond all the
first he did coach and all of his accomplishments on
the court and on the sidelines and in the boardrooms, whatever.
What made Earl Lloyd, in your opinion, such a good
man is just such a good person.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
He was just so humble. You know, he rarely talked
about himself and I could hardly ever get him to
even talk about the things that he did. I mean,
he wanted to talk about me and my family and
our program and how the team was doing and all
those things. And he would always even deflected Jackie Robinson,

(19:55):
who broke the color barrier in baseball a couple of
years before Earl did in basketball. And so I think
the the highest quality that he had was just, uh,
you know, his humility. And you know, we went we
went down and did a documentary after Earl had actually
went into the hospital and I had been there a

(20:16):
few years earlier, to his house and spent the night
with him, just to spend some time with him after
he had a stroke. But when we went back is
when I finally realized in his home in Crossfield, Tennessee,
which is where he retired, there was no picture, book, ball, trophy,
anything displayed anywhere in his house that ever told you

(20:40):
he played basketball, let alone that he was in the
Nase Smith Basketball Hall of Fame and he was the
first black player in the NBA. UH. He had all
of his UH and then even the Natesmith Basketball Hall
of Fame trophy was in a closet in his den,
in the floor. And so that just speaks volumes of
him and the way he was and just the human being.

Speaker 12 (21:03):
That he was.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Coach, how much work do you and your fellow coaches
and students even the university, how much work goes into
making sure all student athletes and for that matter, all
students at State know about Earl Lloyd.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Well, for us, I mean every recruiting phone conversation or
visit or it starts with a Earl Lloyd tutorial, if
you will. And so I've asked every recruit I've ever
talked to in my twenty seven years now at West
Virginia State who was the first black player to ever

(21:38):
play in NBA. And I've only had one be able
to come up with his las name, and that's because
he was from Detroit. So, you know, I start all
of our conversations with our recruits, and I know our
admissions office. When they do a tour, they always bring
him through the Walker Convocation Center where we have the
statue of Earl Lloyd there, and so I know our

(22:00):
missions people. They also educate all the kids that come
on visits to our school about Earl and so and
I really think, you know that our university and the
NBA this year especially has really stepped up because this
year is the seventy five year anniversary of those three gentlemen,
you know, breaking the color barrier into the NBA, and

(22:23):
myself and our Vice president Trey Jones. A couple of
weeks ago, on a Sunday, they had the NBA Pioneer Game,
which they just started this year, and so they had
us come up to Boston to watch the Celtics play
and they honored us as well as Sweetwater. Clifton's family
member was there and Chuck Cooper I was there as well.

(22:46):
So the NBA has really done a great job. This
year being the seventy five year anniversary, and hopefully the
momentum that we've gained with this and everybody talking about
it because it's the seventy five year will carry over
and we can educate more people about what these guys did.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
And I'm happy to hear that you're educating, Coach, not
only your players and potential recruits, but that the university president,
Cage and all the others are are trying to impart
upon their students in general, whether they're an that student
athlete or not, the importance of Earl Loyd because this
Earl Lloyd story, And I'll admit, until I met you,

(23:24):
I wasn't aware I've heard the name, but I wasn't aware.
You educated me a lot of the last several years
on this whole thing, and all of our interviews we've done.
I think it's a great story. If the man had
never picked up a basketball, Earl Lloyd would have been
a major major success story, especially coming out of West
Virginia State.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Absolutely, and you know, and not only you know we
talk about his basketball. He went on as you and
I have discussed as well, but he went on to
work for Chrysler Corporation, become the first black executive for Chrysler,
and then he goes on to work for Dave Bing
when he was the mayor of Detroit. And so, I
mean he did things outside of basketball as well, which

(24:05):
was very groundbreaking. And he was just such a like
I say, such a humble, caring, well rounded intellectual guy
that that the people that you know just read about
what he did. Yeah, that's that's really good. And and
you know you can learn his ground very breaking steps

(24:28):
into the NBA. But for me, you know, I got
to meet him in two thousand and four when we
brought him back to retire his jersey, and then I
got to spend a good ten eleven years with him
and got to know him on a personal level. And
I'm just so blessed that I had that opportunity.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
So tomorrow, twelve thirty, there's going to be a ceremony
at the Walker Convocation Center. You'll be there, President Eric Cage,
I athleted to director David Hicks. More should be a
nice ceremony tomorrow, Coach.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
It always is, Yes, it will, And you know tomorrow's
the day that he away. He was was on the
twenty sixth and twenty fifteen, so ten year anniversary of that.
And it's good that, you know, the whole university is
gathering tomorrow to honor him with a short little ceremony,
be a couple of speakers, but you know, we always

(25:16):
like to pay homage to to to Earl and what
he did for the university and continues to do for me.
I mean, you know, my opportunity to get to go
and watch the Celtics play I think they played the Bucks.
Giannis was out so I didn't get see end play.
But that was all just because of Earl Lloyd, and
so I continue to, you know, reap the benefits of

(25:40):
Earl Lloyd and the friend that he was for me.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Coach, on a more personal note, before we let you go,
it's been a rough season emotionally for your team with
loss of course of a great player. Talk about how
your team has done getting through all that.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Yeah, it has been you know, just one that there's
no playbook four and there's no there's no script for it.
So you know, I thought I had, you know, pretty
much faced everything there is in the coaching world in
twenty six years of being the head coach, and uh,
this one certainly is one that I don't wish upon anybody.

(26:19):
And and not only you know with this is passing
and and the struggles that we had from that, but
we've had multiple injuries outside of that as well, and
so it's it's it's been a struggle. We've put it
together here a little bit the last couple of weeks
and we've won three out of four and started to
play a little bit better and and so hopefully, you know,
we can close out the season this week. We play

(26:42):
at Concord tonight and then we have Charleston at home
on Saturday, and then then go into our tournament. And
so it has been a struggle. I really commend our
players for, you know, then then sticking to it and
and and staying together and and sticking through the grind.
And so we just hope we can finish out the
season strong.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Coach Brian Poor, West Virginia Statement's basketball coach. It's always
a pleasure to have you on the show to talk
about Earl Lloyd and talk about anything else. Anytime you
and I can get together, it's always a good time.
I appreciate you being here, sir. Thanks a lot, and
thanks for what you and the in the university continue
to do to I think keep the legacy going of
a of a of a of a great yellowjacket and

(27:22):

thanks a.

Lot, absolutely appreciate you having me on.

(32:32):
All right, So before we get to say to the union,
something a little personal for me. And if you follow
me on social media Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and
at Dave A seventy one x and if you don't,
well you should be. Did a little video about this
last night. And let me back up a bit, just

(32:54):
kind of gets you up here. About two years ago
I went for a simple medical check up and they
were concerned at that time about my blood work, you know,
particularly PSA level, and of course I did what most
men do. I said thank you and ignored their warnings
and left. Then I went back like six months later

(33:16):
for you know, check up, and the doctor says, well,
did you ever get those PSA?

Speaker 6 (33:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
No, I didn't. And so then I went back again
and my family doctor, of which I didn't even have
a family doctor this time two years ago, welcome to
you know, being in your mid fifties. And I walked
back and he said, we're going to send to you,
you know, to do some more blood work. And when
I went back, and this was in the fall of
last year, twenty twenty five, he said, you know, your

(33:41):
PSA levels have risen dramatically since the previous year and
basically said, you have got to take this seriously and
address this. And that began a series of scans and biopsies.
You've been through this, you know what I'm talking about.
MRIs poke prod and so on and so forth. And
they they told me last month, which I have been

(34:02):
very open about on social media and on the air.
They told me last month I have prostate cancer. And
so I had an appointment with one of the doctors yesterday.
And if you can find good news in bad news,
I already knew that I had prostate cancer, but I
was very relieved to find out that the cancer had

(34:23):
not spread. They were concerned about the not so much
the number that I was given on the Gleason score.
I'll trust me, I've learned way too much about it.
And it has nothing to do with Jackie Gleason, by
the way. I found that out. And the PSA level
so on and so forth I found all this out.

(34:43):
They told me it wasn't how high the number was,
it was that it was growing so rapidly, and they said,
we got to get this checked out to make sure
it's not spreading, because it's on the path to spread everywhere.
And luckily found out yesterday that has not been the case.
So I said, it's about the best good news I

(35:06):
could get in the midst of bad news.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
They told me I have cancer, but it's not spread.
And I've learned way too much about prostates in the
last couple of months. To be quite honest with you,
I will tell you I have zero symptoms of anything.
I don't feel badly at all. I just have cancer.
So now the treatments begin, and at some point over
the next couple of weeks, I'll start radiation treatments somewhere

(35:31):
between five to ten don't know. I don't know exactly
how many yet, it all depends. All outpatient stuff. Maybe
last fifteen minutes or so, and I'm done. I'll do
that once or twice a week and then evaluate from there.
Side effects, Well, everyone is different. I'm hanging my hat

(35:53):
on the fact that in the limited amount of medical
issues I've been lucky not to go through hardly anything
in my life. You know, I've had doctors that have
told me I'm the perfect patient because I'm not allergic
to anything. I generally speaking medicines, if I take them
when I do, which is not often do what they're
supposed to do. I have the most common blood type
that there is, so you kind of get where I'm

(36:15):
going now. They do tell me I'm going to be tired,
maybe hot flash, so basically I'm going to be going
through menopause. So if I am away from here, you'll
know why. And I'm the type of guy who does
not believe in taking time off, you know, for anything.
In fact, I had to have a sit down yesterday

(36:38):
with our HR department here to learn how much time
I had off because I literally did not know. I mean,
I take a few days in the spring. My wife
and I used to do a beach trip somewhere. That's
pretty much it. And I had to sit down with
our HR department, which anytime I'm called to the HR department,
it's usually for something else is Ryan will tell you.
So I sat down and I said, how much time

(36:59):
do I even get off? Because I had I had
no idea. I get that from my late father. I mean,
I just I just don't. I don't see what I
do here is work to be honest with you, So
I don't. I don't really want to be away, but
I'm gonna I'm gonna do better on that promise my wife.
I'm actually gonna do better at that. So I just
wanted to get out there. Good bad news. Cancer hasn't spread.
Something like a ninety six percent survival rate in prostate cancer,

(37:21):
one of the better cancers. You know, if you're gonna
get cancer, one of the better ones to get. I
guess I'll I'll keep you up. But one thing that
you can be assured of is that one way or
the other, I'm gonna continue to make fun of it
because that's what I do. And had they told me
yesterday you know this is spread, guess what I would
have done. I would have made fun of it, because

(37:42):
that's what I do. It's a sickness sixteen minutes away
from Tamaday Island show on five ad Line, brought to
you part by your hometown baseball team, The Charles the
Dirty Birds. Maybe one a time. Now we're already thinking
about baseball go Mark Ballpark. Now'd be a good time
to secure your season tickets merchandise more at dirty Birds
Baseball dot com. So I want to ask you about
my urine here, Ryan, Dave. Do do you pee every

(38:05):
ninety minutes or two hours at night?

Speaker 13 (38:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (38:07):
I don't do either. I go to bed and I
wake up four thirty or five and get up. I
don't no issues in that department whatsoever. Never have had
any issue in that department. All right, So State of
the Union last night, President awarded two purple hearts last
night's start There start Positive, one to Air National Guard
staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, who, as expected, was in attendance

(38:32):
last night with his family. Also another awarded posthumously to
Army National Guard specialist Sarah Beckstrom. President talked about five
minutes or so on that it's a lead story this
morning wv Metronews dot com, and we're going to dive
more into that speech, play a little audio from it
at some point. I'm sure you've heard it a lot
of but we're going to play more as it pertains
to the guardsman coming up on midday to day. As

(38:56):
for the rest of the speech, one hour and forty
eight minutes total, longest State of the Union speech in history.
I asked on midday yesterday for people to give me
the over under, and I don't remember what I said.
I should have wrote it down. I think I said
like an hour fifty two or something random like that.
So if that's what I said, which I think I did,
I was pretty close. President primarily told the story of

(39:19):
America's great turnaround quote hottest country in the world end quote.
He told Democrats they should be ashamed of themselves for
not standing up when he said, quote the first duty
of the American government is to protect American citizens, not
illegal aliens end quote. Republicans stood, many Democrats did not.
He talked about Iran, talked about tariffs, He mocked the

(39:43):
Democrats on affordability, continued to talk about voter fraud. At
one point, Representative Al Green of Texas escorted out for
holding up a black people aren't apes sign etc. Etc.
And so so pretty much what everybody expected it would be.

(40:06):
So let's get to some text, because I knew we
would have text, says Trump's speech last night. Again, prusse
he's a member and good studying of the Anassis Club,
says a texture text says, Dave, I saw yesterday another
mine is laying off minors. That happened the last time

(40:26):
Trump put tariffs in other countries. Now Western na coal
is suffering from bad trade agreements. Don't blame nobody but Trump,
says a texture texas Daved Trump talked about what he's done,
higher cost of goods and food, Arresting legal citizens with
no due process, going on people's home, going in people's
homes without warrants, handcuffing children, slamming old women to the ground.
Now he says, you don't have the right to bear arms.

(40:47):
It's up to him, says a texture Tex says, how
many Democrats refuse to stand in memory in honor of
the grieving mother, And I'm going to butcher the name
Erana Zirtuska and their grieving mother had the audacity to

(41:08):
still where their little Ukrainian flag pins on their lapels.
These are despicable people who proved last night they do
not care about the innocent. Tells you all you need
to know. So glad I left the Democratic Party years
ago as the Marxists are starting to rise to power.
