a great Halloween on Friday night. Also, hope everyone survived
the time change. And I'll tell you I've never been
one that really cared one way or the other. People

(01:45):
get all worked up about it, but it is always
weird when it gets dark, you know, on that first Sunday,
like I did yesterday at about five thirty, and then
it was daylight when I left my house this morning.
But you get used to it coming up a little
bit later. On Charleston, her or Amy Schulder good One
is here, Questions, comments, concerns for the mayor. Now is
your time to talk one on one with her? Of course,

(02:06):
you know we just came off a great weekend of
activities here in the valley. I was at the Capital
Market on Saturday for the Mac and Cheese Cookoff. I'll
be back there next Saturday for the Biscuits and Gravy Bowl,
and then I'll pick up and head to Nitro for
the Wagon Tails and Nitro Ales Chili Chili Cookoff and
Beer Festival. It's a rough life. I leave, Danny, Danny

(02:28):
Jones is here. It's a rough life I live. Man.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Can I say something about the mac and cheese?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
You can say whatever you want, buddy.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
That was for the Language Center, Rock Jones, Laurence Jones.
A third that was my brother.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah yeah, and I did not know that till you
told me that a couple of years ago. Yeah yeah,
great turnout over there. The judge's choice was the folks
at the Roughner Drew McClanahan, and the the people's choice
was the folks at Coco's Great Eatery in downtown Charleston. So, uh,
about twenty I'm gonna guess twenty five twenty six entries

(03:03):
down there.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
There was a something that's in the book. My sister's
named Laura. We had a lady that worked for us intermittently.
Her name was Laura Lawrence. My brother had a really
bad speech impediment. He ended up with a radio voice,

(03:26):
asked Steve Bishop. But he didn't understand. He couldn't make
out why he was called Laura, she was called Lauren,
she was called Laura. So he called Laura Hamilton God God,
and that name stuck with her. A tombstone, really, and

(03:46):
it's in the book and so. But he wound up
when I was a kid, like, was he older than
you were? Younger? Then younger?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay, young younger thing okay.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
He took his life when he was sixty twenty sixteen.
But I would go to Stross Memorial Hospital. Back then
it was just a circle, you know, you can park
in the circle, and right inside there was a door,
and there was a guy named Jess Barton who later

(04:22):
became a really good customer in my restaurant. And he
had Lawrence in there teaching him how to speak. And
it was really really abusive. It sounded abusive, you know,
I'm sure it was just the way it's supposed to go.
But Lawrence turned out to have a radio voice. He

(04:44):
had jobs at radio station.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's funny how that works. I mean, James Earl Jones
is probably one of the best examples of that. I mean,
James Earl Jones could barely speak until he was like
ten or twelve years old. His speech impediment was so
was so bad. And then I mean then then, you
know what, he became so well.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Not that maybe this is not a good example, even
though I remember the night the first the first night
the guy got elected back in seventy two, Joe Biden.
He had a uh, he was a stunter or really
bad stuff, very bad. Yeah, yeah, and uh, he had
a great voice until you know, until he un till

(05:28):
he became president.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Well, and a lot of a lot of things after
he became president. Danny Jones here, of course, No, you know,
Danny's with us every Monday, but we kind of flipped
things around. On the first Monday the month, coast mayor
Goodwin will be in a little bit.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Like people call and ask her question.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
They text more than they call. But yeah, no, sometimes
we we do. We do. Here's what I here's my
pet peeve about the whole thing. Danny, And I've said
this before. In this world of social media, everybody's quick
to criticize. They'll they'll light up you know, our our
social media, they'll light up you know, the television stations,
the gazette, mayor or whatever. But the mayor comes on

(06:03):
this show the first Monday of every month and is
wide open. She sits in the seat where you are now,
and she has no idea who's calling, she has no
idea what the text are going to be. She'll come
in with a couple of things she wants to mention,
of course, but nothing after that. And these these keyboard
commandos won't call well. And and that that just infuriates me,

(06:24):
because here's an opportunity, you know, for you to talk
if you've got issues. And I don't care whether it's Amy,
it could be any mayor for that matter, here's your
opportunity to talk, and they choose not to.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
And as mayor, I was on here for four years
exactly and the same situation. Now they call the office
and they just had to speak with the mayor. Well,
the problem with that was is that I'm going to
give them right.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Back, Yeah to the people who actually I don't mean
that in a bad way, but I know you can't
you can't necessarily take care of the pothole over on
such and such strand the mayor.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
I bet she's gonna say, call my office what she
always does, Call my office, leave a message, and I'll
tend to it when I got back. It would be
tend to anyway, Yeah, if if I mean, I would
assume it's tend to anyway.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, yeah, I mean somebody when you're the mayor of
the largest city in West Virginia. I mean, and it's
you know, you're not going to be able to, as
I said, you know, go after every stray dog that's
running through South Hills and everything else. You're gonna have
other people to do that. This past weekend, though, Dandy,
and this is something I want to ask you about
as a former mayor. This past weekend and every weekend

(07:37):
in Charleston, especially during the you know, the good weather months,
there are always so many activities going on. There's everything
at Capital Market, downtown, Slack Plaza, and really that's true
the entire valley. But yet people complain that there's nothing
to do. I mean, how is that possible if.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
You're seventy five years old, there's not.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Well I get that, I but no, I think they're.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Funny to do in this city, and I think the
mayor has done a good job with that. She bought
them regot it back. She had the money to do
it with and we didn't have it, but she bought
the regatta back and we still have the festival.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Right, festival Festival that and Festivfall. You know, you got
the two different thing. And last week, of course we
started talking about the Christmas Parade because that's always, you know,
the big thing, and they have to have the I
mean within the announcement. I think we had Matt Sutton
on the show on I think it was Thursday, and
they made announcement on Wednesday. They already had like twenty

(08:43):
entrants by the time twelve hours later Sudden comes on
the show and we've already got twenty some odd interests.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
And she bought it back at night, which is where
it was when I was a little boy. We used
to go down We used to go down Charleston at
night and watch the Christmas Parade. And I think that
was a good move well.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
And I remember when it was first brought back and
in her administration took a lot of grief for that,
Danny because they said, you know, it's a school night,
so I'd say probably seventy percent of the and that's
just an arbitrary figure. I'm throwing out just sixty seventy
percent of all the Christmas parades are held at night.
I mean, what's the I mean, you know, here's the thing, Danny,

(09:22):
You're not going to please everybody. We had the big
blow up over trick or Treating last week. You know,
because of inclement weather that was expected. They originally Knaw
County opted to move it to Thursday night. That was
that's when they were going to have it, I should
say originally on Thursday night, but then they were expecting
really bad weather, so it got moved ahead the Halloween night,
which is when a lot of the you know, I

(09:43):
live in Putnam County. Ours was always on that night,
and people, you know, said, well, you're going to go
head to head with high school football, but on Thursday night,
you're going head to head with middle school football. So
you can't make you can't make everybody.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
One of the county commissioners running for the.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
State's Center, Yeah, Lance Wheeler, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
I wonder now are people filing for his job.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
One person has already filed. I've Jared Page. I've already
interviewed him on the air. That's the one that the
one person I know of tell me.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
There's a contest going on in Massachusetts and there's a
young man who's forty seven. He's a congressman named Seth Moulten,
and the senator is Ed Markey. I can't stand him.
They're both liberal Democrats. But Ed Markey, if that's his

(10:35):
first name, I can't remember it. You know, it's eighty
years old. That's too old. I think seventy five is
old enough. I mean, I think I'm too old to
run for office. I'm here for advice if anybody wants it.
If you want, I'll share my experience with you privately,

(10:55):
you know, if that will help you. If you want
me to serve on the board, I might do that.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
What is too old to serve? And I know it
depends on the job. I mean, you know, being a
congressman because of all the travel and everything, it's not
necessarily like being the mayor of a small town. I
get that, But is there a certain a certain age?

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Seventy five that's my age. Okay, that's the age I pick.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Okay, you picked seventy I picked seventy five. I will
know that all seventy five year olds are not created equal, though,
I mean there's some well grass, yeah, I mean in
there's nineties.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Yeah, But I think that there's other people in Iowa
that could replace him, that are in there that are
not quite that old. Poor old strom Thurman. He was there,
he was one hundred and he couldn't even carry on
a conversation.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Let's and let's face it with all due respect. And
in this state, you know, we we put the name
of Robert Bird up there in a in a reverent place.
And I get that Robert Bird served way too long.
In my opinion, he was not as effective. Look, there's
no bigger Ronald Reagan fan than me. Reagan by eighty six,

(12:05):
eighty seven was out.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
I told you a little. Well, he got elected at seventy.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Right, yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
But of course the now this comes from his son,
who I can't stand at. Michael atheists, No, the atheist
Stephen No, ron.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
O ron Reagan Junior. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
He said that his father was never the same after
he got shot, and I don't believe he was right.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Well, that'll do it.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
So, but he would go back and forth I mean
he would like when he got into it over there
with Gorbachaw and then then went back and then Gorbashaw
buckled right, and.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
We need to take a break here real quick. I
want to hold you over though it's nine to twenty.

and I trading around cars.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
I mean horse trading man, that's what we call horse.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
It's there. I thought about moving in it, you know,
living in the restaurant. It's a boy's. If I knew
the boys weren't coming back, i'd move. I'd move in there.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Why don't you just put like a shrine. I mean,
it's practically when you had the restaurant, Danny, and I
know your stuff still there was practically shrine anyway. Don't
you just set up an office and have like coffee
time with Danny.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Well that's what I had before. Yeah, before, But I
had my massage chair down there, and I'd get in
my massage chair and I'd fall asleep in my massage
chair and people want to come in and I'd be
I'd be laying there.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Danny. I'm telling you, you could go down there and
advertise you know when you're going to be there and
people would come down just to drink coffee, just to
hang out with you. I have no doubt about it.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
All right, let's talk about the book. Two weeks from
the is that right?

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Two weeks some day it comes out. I talked to
the manager at Taylor Books and he is going to
let me put about ten books in there, and then
I have a book signing on the twenty second. It's
on Saturday, November. So in other words, that's three weeks

(17:26):
from Miss pasturity on the book signing at two o'clock.
So you can come in there and if you want
to buy a book and get me to sign it,
I'll be glad to do it. I hope people buy it.
Charlie and I worked very hard on the book. Harry

(17:49):
Harry has read it. Harry my friend at road Edinborough Daylight,
you know the Skidmore book, He's read the book.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
When can I get my copy of it?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Danny?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Can I get like an advance copy? I'll pay for it.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
No, no, no, The only thing I have is unedited version.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well that's what I want.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
I really want.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I want to know. I'll take the one everybody else
gets Danny, you know so, But but I definitely, I
definitely I want.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
To Harry thinks. I mean in nineteen seventy four, I
engaged in some very heathen in that era, seventy two
to seventy six, very hedonistic activities. Did I write about?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (18:38):
He said, you should that. There should have been a link.
There should have been a trend of a period, like
how did that guy come to run for sheriff Kennhall
County the transformation? Yeah, and get elected multiple times?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean, I mean to the I.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Could have been re elected charity, I mean.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
A different offices.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
I mean, but I ran for the House that year
and there were twenty four candidates running for twelve feet.
I came in first.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
See. Here's the thing about it is. And I was
talking to a friend of mine the other day and
we were talking about political aspirations, and he said, I
would love to run for office, he said, but I don't,
and especially in the age of the internet now, he said,
I don't want to have to go back and answer
because I got suspended in fifth grade for cheating on
a spelling test or something. Because everything is out there now. Well,

(19:30):
but I have a lot of respect for political figures.
I don't care whether the Republican Democrat, liberal conservative who
come out and say, look, I haven't always been the
best of Well.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
No, Well, the one thing the drug investigation taught me
because my file was leaked, you know, a federal file,
an FBI file was leaked by a police chief in
this city and the head of the drug bion. They
couldn't prosecute me. They leaked to my file made national
news baden. It just doesn't get better with age. Put

(20:05):
it out there. If it's something you can't stand open
a restaurant.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
See, I remember, you know, back in the days of
Bill Clinton and that that whole remember the whole debacle.
Now nobody would care if you said that that you know,
you smoke pot. But back in the nineties that was
kind of a thing. And then he said I didn't.
I mean, man, just just say you did.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
And he lied about Jennifer Flowers.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
He lied about a lot of things.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
He said that in the deposition. He said that he
was with her once when he had an affair with her,
and when he was married to Hillary and Miss Arkansas.
He got he had his way with her in the
back of an ambulance. I mean, I'm not kidding you.

(20:50):
And he was married to Hillary and she had lied
about it, and she came out and she said, look
it happened. I want to get it all my chest
and there it is, so they got it was in
the back of a car. I think I think I
thought it was an ambulance.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Well, it doesn't matter at this point, but.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
He was a hounddogg you know. Marjorie Taylor Green.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, let's talk about Marjorie Taylor Green. She was
on Bill Maher on Friday night. I have not seen
it yet. I plan to watch it. She's on the
View tomorrow. You saw her on Bill Maher. What do
you think of Marjorie Taylor Green on Bill Maher?

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Very impressed, very impressed.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
She did what impressed you about her?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
She's matured so much, and I think she's mainstreamed herself.
If I lived in her district, I'd vote.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
For It's what I mean. And she's at odds with
the Trump administration now on certain things. And I do
just what sort of a bizarro world, though, Danny, do
we live in that? I mean, You're like, oh my god.
Marjorie Taylor Green started to make sense. I mean, are
these the are we know? Are we in the end? Days?

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Here?

Speaker 9 (22:00):
Now?

Speaker 5 (22:01):
She changed?

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Did she really?

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah? She's changed. She's a different person and she's mature
and I like her. I mean, really, what did.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
She do so so well? Because I haven't seen it,
talked to a friend of mine this morning. He did
see it. He said it was kind of contentious back
and forth between Bill Maher and her What did you do?

Speaker 5 (22:20):
Not at all?

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Perceptions, but well they may have disagreed on some stuff, right, okay,
But he said she'd been invited on the show. She said,
I've never been invited on the show. Well, maybe your
staff didn't tell you.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Well, and that happens. And look, you know, and people
will talk crap about about Bill Maher, you know, And
I don't agree with him on everything. He's one of
my favorite comedians. I certainly don't agree with him on everything.
But I will say this, he takes so much crap
from the left because he has Marjorie Taylor Green on
the show, because he had the Borders Are Home and
on the show. He says, look, I have invited AOC

(22:57):
on the show. AOC will not come on the show.
Chuck Schumer will not come on the show. He said, yeah, right,
and he says the people that will come on the
show are these Republicans and I'm going to platform them.
And I give him credit for that.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Kamala, Yeah, all right, she I've read her book, Okay,
all right, talk about that.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Or it's a diary. It's just a diary about what
happened in those hundred seven days. I went to the
Speak to the Teachers Union. I got a great reception.
And the lady that runs it, and I can't think
of her name, but she's old, you are great, You're
gonna win all that stuff. That's what the book is,
and she she treashes my man, Josh Josha Heiro.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, but she says she claims that Gavin that she
If I'm wrong about this, somebody can correct me. But
I think that she claims that she texted Gavin Newsom
and only got something to the effect of hiking we'll
call back, and he never did. Now, Gavin Newsom says
that never happened.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Well, and who knows, Yeah, I mean she now Jonathan
carl and his book said, well, the president went on
Joe Rogan and Kamala never did Kamala refused. Kamala didn't
give an interview for thirty five days. And when you

(24:23):
are running for office, you chase the microphone, you chase
the cameras. You want exposure. And she she she wouldn't
do that. That wasn't a style. And she spent a
billion and a.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Half dollars and still didn't get elected.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
And she she had and she paid Oprah a million.
What did Oprah need the money? And so what she said, BEYONCEI.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Ten, I think she says she's going to run again.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
So uh well, letter you think I mean, she's not
going anywhere. Yeah, unless they want to lose again.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm not so sure that the Democratic Party. I mean,
this is just my opinion on the national level. I'm
not so sure the Democratic Party wants to win anymore
because they can't when they continue to prop up the
people that they're propping up. You can't hope that you're
going to get this country back by putting AOC's and
people like that of the world. Hey, before anybody attacks me,
I don't mean gender or race or anything like. That's

(25:22):
not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about these far
left people are not going.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
To win they're not going to nominate a mainstream candidate
like Rama Manuel and my favorite stephen A or my
real favorite Josh Shapiro. He's to mainstream. He's a governor.
He does things right. You know, he sees a problem,

(25:48):
he fixes it.

a little bit of time to close it out here.

say she's matured, explaining detail the personal growth she had
and then a lot of.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
That I've watched her since she's been in office, and
how silly she would be and she would say silly things,
and she'd hold up pictures of didn't she hold up
a picture of a naked person something?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I don't remember that not saying she didn't I don't know.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
But she held up a picture of Eric Swallswollwell with that,
with that Chinese lady who was turned out to be
a spy. I have watched her, and I think she's matured.
I think she'd be a lot more mature now. If if,
if they hadn't run off the speaker what's his name?

Who am I thinking of the blonde of a guy?
That's why I can't Okay, I can't stand that. I
can't think that.

Kamala would have done everything Danny. Kamala could have done
everything Danny suggested, and the results would have been the same.
America won't elect a woman, definitely not a non white
woman at that.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
She wouldn't bomb Iran, she wouldn't have settled the Middle East. No,
she wouldn't have done any of those things.

Yeah, well, we'll try to get him, him, him or
anybody else you want to have on the show to
talk about because we can't do enough for for our Vetterian.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
No, absolutely for sure.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
So I was trick or treat at your place?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Trick or treat. I you know what, I love trick
or treat. I have a skeleton on my front doorstep.
We call him Slim, and he has a hat on
and a little scarf and a little cat. But I
don't get very many trick or treaters as I used to.
I used to live on the East End and my
husband and I the first remember the first year we
moved in, the neighbors laughed at our candy and said

(32:57):
that's not enough. I was like, oh, but there's you
or whatever, two hundred and fifty pieces. They're like, yeah,
you're going to need about three times as much.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
I said, to be go to seven eleven. And it
is really true. I love it so much.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
But you know what, he does such a great job
with the Beaten Trick or beat which is at the ballpark,
which we always participate in that so we have an
opportunity to see the kids, and we dress up every
year and it's so it is so incredibly fun. And
you know, Mayor Jones and I were just talking as
he was leaving about activities and things to do. You know,
when I became mayor six and a half m was

(33:31):
seven years ago. That's what I wanted. Vitality, vibrancy, and
those are the things that he was just talking about.
Another event that he'd like to see back. Me too,
the car Show. I hated that they left. I wish
they would come back, and would love it if they
came back.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
Kids mess it.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Can I interrupt you there?

Speaker 9 (33:47):
One?

Speaker 7 (33:48):
Yeah? Hit me.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I want you to go on the record right now
because you've done it before. But I mean, but we
get so many and you get so much. Look and look,
I'll give you a crap if because I'm your friend
and I can do that all I do. But I
get this all the time. The mayor killed the car Show.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
About show.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
I put it on the record again that the mayor
did not kill the car show.

Speaker 7 (34:11):
I wanted it.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I have all the emails and documentations to back all
of this up. Not you know, and Mayor Jones knows
this for sure. We were just talking about it. I
gave more money, I gave more support for the car
show than ever before. But the year they left, they said,
we ran out of volunteers, we're running out of sponsorship.
We need seventy five thousand dollars right now to do it.

(34:32):
And I said, I don't have seventy five I've got
thirty five thousand, and they said no, And then I
found out about it on the radio, I think is
how we found out about it. But we loved the
We love the car show. We'd love to have the
Car Show back. So if anybody's out there and wants
to read all my emails or talk to me about it,
I'd love it, love it, love it.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
But I think most most of the.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Folks who are engaged and involved really no, really know
that we didn't want to see that go in anyhow,
I'll make a long, straight longer. You know, we are
hitting into the season of events, and not only do
we have and I know our chief of staff Matthew
Sutton came on on Friday talk about the Christmas Parade
man oday.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
That's the other thing.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
The applications are flying in for folks who want to
be in the Christmas Parade. It is our downtown real estate. Folks,
if you own a you know, I don't care if
it's a coffeehouse or a men's shop shout out to
Tony Taylor or a bar or whatever you want. An
evening Christmas parade. It is kind of the big kickoff

(35:36):
to the shopping season, so it's super super super fun.
Of course, we have Holly Jolly, which is on Black Friday.
My mom's favorite thing to do is to come in
and watch the show. Nothing like your mom sitting there
in the front row day watching you light the Christmas
I'm fifty four years old and my mom still loves
to sit there in the front row and watch me
flick the It's a thing I think of parents, right

(35:58):
if your a parent or a grandparent, or you're an uncle,
or you have love for a child, you or have
raised a child, or take care of children, you love
watching those children have joy. My mom still comes because
she says, you have so much fun doing that with
the kids, and I do, and so that's that's also
super fun.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Coming up.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Got a question for here for you, please tex, says
David Mayor, A good one. Is there any update on
the former Canal manufacturing site on the East End. It
was partially demoed with plans to turn it into Charleston Lift,
also known as Learning, Innovation, Food and Technology Center. The
partially demoed side to set dormant for over a year
would be a great asset for the community. If that's
still in the works.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Oh yeah, no, there's lots of great I will give
a great shout out to Mara Boggs and the Charleston
Aarrey Alliance as they reimagine that site. Plans are still
certainly moving forward to transform that site, that neighborhood, and
that community. They know they welcomed us Dave with open
arms when we made this announcement many many years ago.

(36:55):
There is activity on the site and you will see,
you know, hopefully sooner than later. When you have large projects,
it takes a while. When you have large projects like
the Capital connector like you know, doing a twenty million
dollar public safety building, or when you have the mall
or sports conflict, it is not something that can happen

(37:16):
in just a couple of months or a year. Boy
oh boy, I wish I had a magic wand and
can make those things happen. But progress, and grand progress
and monumental progress comes certainly.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
At a at a slow pace.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's kind of like me trying to lose that ten
pounds before the end of the year and doing it
during the holiday, right lose it fast, it comes back,
lose it slow, it stays.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
It's kind of the same philosophy. Can you tell it?
Can you tell I didn't have my breakfast already?

Speaker 3 (37:43):
This same at your side? It's nine five a day
Vallid Show on five eighty line, Brown Too, part by
Morgan to Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. All right,
so go serious here for a moment. The partial government
shutdown is going on, no signs that it's going to
and anytime soon. You have to actually get people in
the same room to talk in order for that to happen.

(38:05):
That's no the story for another time, all right. So
on Saturday, Snap benefits, you know, official, I mean, you
know for now came to an end. We know about
the court cases and so on and so forth. But
as let's just say it right now, we don't know
what's going to happen there, but it is what it is.
Sixteen percent of the population in the CID of West
Virginia received some sort of snap benefits. Many of those

(38:29):
our kids. Many of those are people that are working,
all right, farmers and farmers and so on and so forth.
So let's talk about that for a moment, and let's
talk about what the City of Charleston is doing.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, you know, I will say that we can't do everything,
just like the county can't do everything. But you know,
the county last last month, month before welcome them and
the Senior Services Center and handed them eighty thousand dollars
to help with their food and security.

Speaker 7 (38:59):
People are hungry.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
And you know, while you may not think it is
a lot on average, I think it's about one hundred
and eighty seven dollars.

Speaker 7 (39:06):
It matters.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
It matters to families that are struggling, that are literally
putting budget plans together every month. I remember my mom
and dad doing the exact same thing when we were little. Right,
you put together a family budget. This is how much
you have to spend. Food is something that you have
to have. So we know that folks are nervous about
their access to food. We know from the Queen Margaret

(39:29):
O'Neill in the United Way that the two to one
one calls that everybody talks about, right, two one one,
you need help to one one. They are up over
seven hundred last month compared to where they were in
Augris August of this past year, and so We've talked
to several our providers, we talked to council members, we
talked to folks at the school board, folks in our

(39:50):
park and rec centers. Because I don't think people know this, Dave.
I know you know this because I talk about it
all the time. We take care of kiddos after school,
nights and weekends and holidays. Kids come to me by
the way I want them to. I mean, we have
excuse me, our parking rec centers open for a reason.
It is safe place to come after school. We help
you with your homework, we give you a little bite

(40:11):
to eat, and we watch you. So tonight, on City
Council's agenda, we have put in sixty thousand to the
Canal Valley Collective that will go directly towards the purchase
of food for food pantries and I talking about hot
meals day. We're talking about food that you can take home,
that you can take home. And also ten thousand of
that is going to park in RECs for food for

(40:32):
our littles, who you know. I know they do because
I'm there and we see them all the time, and
so it's real. It is a real thing. And every
single snack matters. Every single supper to go matters for
our littles certainly, and our families, and certainly for our

(40:54):
seniors as well. So you know, access to SNAP benefits
its top of mine. It is what everybody continues to
talk about. And you know, one of our city council
members to say is said to me, can we do more?

Speaker 7 (41:05):
Not right now?

Speaker 2 (41:06):
No we can't because our job in the city is
to still continue to do the things that we are
charged with, but part of that charge is to take
care of our families, to make sure that then when
there are tough times that we go the extra miles.
You know, kind of reminds me of COVID. By the way, Dave,
I never thought in a million years part of my
job as mayor is to hold the hands of folks

(41:27):
who are getting vaccinations. I never thought that would be
part of my job description.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Oh buddy, it is.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Never did I think that I would sit there being
well a little bit, maybe tying the shoe of a
little guy who's at our park and rec center and saying,
wait a second, why don't you have socks on?

Speaker 7 (41:42):
Where's your jacket? Did you come with gloves? That is
part of the job.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Because We are a folk in West Virginia and I
grew up here. I know we want to take care
of folks. We do what we can, and this is
what we can do during this time. And certainly, you know,
I know we don't have time to get into it
all because you and I feel exactly the same way.
You don't have to love me, like me or hate me.
We need to talk. We need to make sure that

(42:09):
we're having these conversations and we're doing work for people
because folks in elected positions that were that's what we're
supposed to do. You know, gone are the days of
this political rhetoric. I'm over it. I'm done with it.
Everybody is. Because I have to deal with families. I
have to talk to families who are coming into our
rec centers. I talk to families out on the street
who say to me, I don't know what I'm going
to do. I have absolutely zero idea. It is not easy,

(42:32):
and that's for sure, and I'm very blessed. But I'll
tell you this, there's so many of our families who
really need our help.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
The problem is, though, and we'll say this and we'll
go to break and I'll guess more questions here for you.
The problem is is you say you're over the political rhetoric.
I say, even as a talk show host that does
this for four hours a day, I'm over it. Sure
a lot of people aren't, though, and especially and here's
the thing, mayor, especially.

Speaker 7 (42:55):
If you're just sad and people are angry.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Well especially, I tell you who really loves it are
the people many of them that are in office. They
love it.

Speaker 7 (43:03):
Not this woman.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
I know I'm talking about more than national Well, this
is what you know. They like the pod being stirred.
That's well.

It's about the community, Charleston Mayor Amy shult were a

(46:23):
good one. Is here all right? It's ready for a
few questions, Hey man, David Mayor, good one. I was
one of the people that criticized you about the seats
in the coliseum. I want to personally in public thank
you for getting them fixed. Much appreciate.

Speaker 7 (46:36):
Yay, well good.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
That is coming up this week. We are going to
have a presidentence that we're going to have everybody come
in and try out the cushy seats and see them.
So it's going to be really great. It's something that
we've needed for a really long period of time. When
the renovations were done to the coliseum in Convention Center,
it was something that wasn't done. And if you have
spent hours watching a show in.

Speaker 7 (46:58):
Those uncomfortable chairs that were.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Literally falling apart, please come and enjoy now forever more
nice big seats. And people are going to say, why
did you make it one color? Why did you make
it the because when you're in the I've learned a lot.

Speaker 7 (47:15):
Gosh, you was, I've learned so much.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
It's because when you have the bottom bowl filled, or
you're having a small group or a small show, the
top what we'd have to buy is all those drapes
to kind of block out because it was before by
the way it.

Speaker 7 (47:28):
Was in style back then.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Some are pink, some are orange, some are purplely some
are and they were so bright it would be distracting
to the performers and to the audience. And so there
is a method behind the madness. You know, why didn't
you do in blue and gold? There's a reason. This
is what bigger stadiums are doing. We looked at them.
We worked with the board over there to make sure
that they are comfortable seats, they have what they need.

(47:52):
They're clean, clean, clean, clean, and they're sturdy. So yay,
come and enjoy.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Teke says. The You MUNISIP a lot of stry and
was shuttered in twenty twenty four, twenty three. Will any
details or plans be revealed for it soon?

Speaker 7 (48:06):
Yes, that is my that is my hope.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
We had a meeting with the folks that I asked
that they go in to see what could be salvaged,
what could not be on the outer structure of the walls,
and what what we could do in terms of building
on that site. That site is really weird. The only
the best way I can describe it. David's kind of whippywod.
It's kind of termed sideway whippy.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
That's an official architectural term.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Stepan, It's a West Virginia whippie wood. We call my
mom honey honey. It's a honey term. It's a honey trick,
and so it doesn't really utilize to the best of
its ability that entire space. But we look to make
an announcement, and I say announcement loosely plans.

Speaker 7 (48:51):
You know, I don't.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
I don't have a magic wand to say this is
what we're going to do. Certainly we have community input,
but the thing that I was charged to do is
make sure that if we spend dollar, I get the
best and highest use for that dollar. And I can
promise you that's exactly what I'm going to do when
we reimagine what the municipal Auditorium should look like.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Texas mayor a goodwe Do you have any information on
the schedule for painting to the Washington Street Bridge. I
know it's a state bridge, but it's very important to
the city. It's rusting to the ground.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
It is well that they are working on it, they
are fixing it. I don't right off the top of
my head, I don't, but if you call my office
three four eight eight one seven four, I'll try to
track that down for you.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Any thought of bringing back the Kenaw County Fair maybe
in having any Cata or Coonskin that'd be more of
a county Commission.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
Yeah, but I mean listen.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
I think that one thing that we do extremely well,
which unfortunately a lot of cities and counties don't do
well across the state, is we have such a great,
close working relationship with them. Certainly I would love it
right after we get the car shop back.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Yeah, nine fifty seven, I see what you did there.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't say supplemental
leaf collection is coming up. So I started when I
was mayor because I didn't believe that we were doing
a good enough job doing customer service. My job is
customer service. I put a system in and it's called cueler.
You call my office, I write it down, it's on
the computer.

Speaker 7 (50:20):
You get a number. Not long gone are the pink
stickies that.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Say why you are out? TJ called and he wants
a pothole fix. Well, now it's put into the system
in the system. This time of year, we have so
many leaf pickup collections. We are one of the only
cities that actually do supplemental leaf collection. If I say
supplemental one more time, I win a prize back of
the office, often as Stintson, we'll give it to me.

(50:45):
So supplemental leaf collection bag leaves get picked up on
trash day, no limits. Rake leaves once a week or
twice a season, weather permitting. That doesn't mean if you
rake them all towards your driveway, I'm coming to get
them tomorrow. That doesn't always happen. So I just allow
that to sink in during these last thirty seconds that

(51:07):
we have, supplemental leaf collection begins.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
And real quick, I know you were out testing, not
you personally, but I mean, knowing you, you probably were
the salt trucks. The salt trucks.

Speaker 7 (51:17):
I know how to do salt trucks.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Brian Hughes, I know.

Speaker 7 (51:19):
I do britten in them many many a year.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Brian Hughes tells me meteorologists Brian Hughes, that we're going
to have snow next Monday. Now, granted it's November and
it's way too we're not talking to accumulation or anything
like that. But it will be here before you know it.
Give me about twenty seconds on we.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
We stocked up on salt, salt, salt. My dad still
is a farmer's almanac guy, and he still believes in it.
He makes sure that we have enough salt. Again, I'm
fifty four of my parents. Do you have enough salt?
How are the blades? Do you have them repaired? We do, everybody,
including you Dad, Yes, I have them done.
