This Friday and Saturday, the fifty sixth annual Capital City
Art and Craft Show back at the Connell Seem Convention Center.
John Robertson is here to talk about it. Good morning, sir,
and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Good morning, thanks for having us.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Thanks for being here all right, So do want to
mention the show was sponsored by the Kinosity Lions Club.
What about one hundred and fifty years, so, vendors, you
expect we'll.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Have about one hundred and twenty exhibitors in one hundred
and fifty boost. Okay, we'll fill the entire grand hall.
It's thirty six thousand square feet.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And what kind of things will we expect for everything?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know, and it's there.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
And one thing that you'll find is that in our show,
we have turnover every year, so about twenty five percent
of the exhibitors are new to the show. So if
you came last year, you aren't going to see all
the same stuff. There's something new and fresh for you
to see as well.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
And what are some of the I mean, I know
you can't have all one hundred and twenty, but give
it weeks out this year.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
We do have some painters that are quite accomplished.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's new.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
We have a lot of pottery, a lot of jewelry, woodworking, textiles,
West Virginia food products.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You can go around.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
You'll think you're at sam sampling all the things while
you're there.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And that's what I do now.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
And I tell you I've said this before, John West
Virginia has got some really good, really talented artistans out there.
But for me, it's all about the food. And we
have some great foods that are made here in West Virginia.
We do, and we'll have them all, several of them
on display. All right, yes, and talk about that relationship.
As we said with the Kanosity Lions Club.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Well, actually the show started fifty six years ago. It
is purely a promotion of the Kano City Lions Club.
They work at all all our members have jobs to do.
And the thing about our show is that one hundred
percent of the net goes to charity. Nothing goes to
(04:30):
administrative So when you do anything with the Lions Club,
you can be assured that it's not the profits aren't
eating up with administrative costs. And over the years, we've
donated one point six million dollars to local charities and
we have some of those that are kind of come
to depend on us each year to help them with
(04:52):
their budget. And then but we're nimble enough that if
there's a flood, if there's food insecurity, that's really prime
situation now that we can be nimble enough that we
can help take care of some of those folks.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Now, talk about the history of the Lions Club. How
long has it been around?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
The Canall City Alliance Club was chartered in nineteen fifty
fifty four. Okay I joined in nineteen seventy five and
I'm a fifty year member.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, congratulations on that, because Lions Club's always I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Know if I don't know if I want to hang
my head on that or not.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How's your membership, Ben, I mean, because here's the reason
I bring that up. Because several of the civic organizations,
whether it's Lions, Kawana's Rotary, whatever the case, maybe we
have talked about over the years that the membership started
to dwindle a little bit. Maybe it's not just as
important or top of mind. But how's your membership?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Well, when I joined fifty years ago, we had nearly
one hundred members in our club. Now, COVID really hurt
us as well as a lot of service organizations, and
so we're down to thirty members now, okay, but you
know it's an active club. Well that we do pick
up tray.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
You can do a lot with thirty members. I mean,
you really can if you got thirty active members, like
you said.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
And we support a lot of different activities, you know,
by volunteering as an organization, it would ring the bells
and all kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Talk about some of the charities that I mean just
mentioned a few that you've raised funds.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Well, we aren't restricted just to Kanaw City activities. We
are going to affect things throughout the valley, but in
Kanas City itself. We donate six thousand dollars annually to
the schools in Kanas City. Plus we support scholarships at
the University Charleston and Capitol High School. We do project
graduations all over the county. We work with West Virginia Health, Right,
(06:42):
Salvation Army Mountain Mission, so there's.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
A whole we touch everybody.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
You would be a surprised that the organizations that we
do support in the community.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But Dave Alan Chowing five Any Live is brought to you
in part by your hometown baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds,
the Selango Law Light that I returning to go Mark
Ballpark November the twenty first through January the first gets
you tickets in advance by visiting dB Lightthnight dot com.
Please make sure that you get those tickets in advance.
Definitely the way to go now if somebody is listening
right now and they are a vendor is because it's
too late to sign up.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Or yes, we just closed it off yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay, how many people just a ballpark come through the doors.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Every year, we'll do about seven thousand.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
But seven thousand people over the two days.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's just two days.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Years ago we were three days, but we found that
Sundays weren't very productive right yet, so we cut it
to two.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah. Sometimes, I mean Sundays used to be people would
attend things like that after church and whatever. But it's
got I guess different activities right and stuff down. Well,
it's going to be a great time. It always is
over there. Appreciate the tickets, by the way, I want
to be checking it out this weekend. And you know,
just kind of an advertising cliche John to say there
is something for everybody, but there really is something for everybody.
(07:53):
There is talk about some of your favorite things there.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Well, you know, over the years, my wife and I
have spent a lot of money. We've got enough stuff
right now so we're uh, but we I buy a
lot of the food products now and but you know,
it's it's a great place to do if you want
to refresh your holiday, ta corps to find new things
(08:17):
to add. Also great place to buy something unique. Because
I'm gonna say big box stores, you know you got
that special person that you've bought enough sweaters or you
have too much of the same thing, and something unique
means something, and so we I think a lot of
people enjoy doing that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, I've been saying people probably do their their Christmas
shopping too.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
When to come up. Now you're doing something special. I understand.
For the first and fifty, the.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
First two hundred we are this year's ago. We have
we print up some counterfeit money. You get the first
two hundred and fifty people through the door get a
discount coupon. We're the purchase of an item in the
show at a dollar off. And then also we we're
doing a collection of food product with Mountain Mission. They'll
(09:04):
have a box truck parked right at the front door
into the convention hall, and if you bring a non
perishable food product one or twenty, you'll get a discount
coupon for admission into the show. The mission into the
show is seven dollars for adults, two dollars for children
twelve and under. And then also we have a group
(09:24):
from the Appalachian Children's Choir that we'll be performing at
one o'clock on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All right, this all sounds good and I love the
fact that you're collecting nonperishable food items, because as you said,
that's kind of I mean, the folks at Mountain Mission
and these other organizations do great work anyway, but over
the last couple of weeks with the government shut down
and everything back, it's still going to take some time
to get people back on there, even though the snap
benefits have been restored to get people back on their
feet again.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
And while we normally hold off until the first quarter
of the year to make the bulk of our donations,
we voted to accelerate our country annual contributions to Salvation Army,
Mountain Mission, Meals on Wheels, the groups that are helping
with food insecurities.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's all good, I mean, sounds great, and it's all
happening this Friday and Saturday over the Connell Suma Convention Center.
And we've got information available on you guys got social
media or websites or anything.
Speaker 7 (10:21):

Speaker 7 (10:30):
The hours on Friday are one until seven and on
Saturday or ten am until seven pm.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
All right, Well, it sounds like a good time. It
always is, and it's always very well attend That's amazing.
I mean, I've had you on as long as I've
been doing the show. I've had you on every year
to talk about it. But I didn't realize that there
were that many people that came through the door. Seven
thousand people for two days.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's very popular.

(14:23):
but I do not get why they would charge to
come in just be able to buy more stuff. Well,
that's because it's a fundraiser. That's what's why they charge
you to kibet. I do appreciate that what I think
was a little bit of humor in that as well.
But Rob Reel, speaking of a little human rob Reel
for our sister Station ninety six one KWS is here.
How you doing, man? I can't complain sometimes I still do,
but one you can complain all you want.
Speaker 12 (14:44):
Life.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
It's been good to me so far, but no one can.
Should be a song, but no one cares. All right
to you, big arch and crafts kind of guy.
Speaker 13 (14:51):
That's not really my scene. But you know, uh well,
it depends on how we're defining arts and crafts. I
suppose there was a time when when my fine motor
skills still worked, that I was a journeyman cabinet maker.
So I mean there's a little bit of that, a
little bit of we're working.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
My past right, So I'm the least artistic person in
the world. I mean literally, I mean, let's tell you
what a bad artist I was, even as a kid
growing up. Okay, how bad were you? I mean, I'm
going to tell you how bad I was. When I
was a kid and they would have art in school,
like you know, at the end of the day, they
would my art was so bad. How bad was that?
I'm going to tell you it was so bad that
(15:29):
the my elementary school teacher would let me read encyclopedias
instead and that's what when it came to when it
came to Art's time, that's what. That's what Little David
got up and went over and got the a encyclopedia
and read it. Now it served me well because I
have a head full of you know nothing right now,
(15:50):
and I can answer a lot of questions on Jeopardy,
but don't ask me to draw anything. As you say,
you know all the countries in Africa because you studied
that A. Yeah, I only had the one I ever made.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
It to the other well, that was the one they
got free. That was the that was that was the
first hits free version of encyclopedias. And yeah, all right,
so we're ready to drop some turkeys on Thursday, talk
about yes please, So from seven in the morning until
six in the evening here at eleven eleven Virginia Street East.
That's if you're a GPS plugger in or if you
need a cross street Leon Sullivan and then you know,
(16:20):
make the left onto Virginia Street because that's the only
way you can go their one way streets right next
to First Prez whatever whatever you need as a down
the street from Charleston Catholic. Yes, however, however, you need
to get here. We want to see you between seven
and six on Thursday. Loop through our parking lot and
make a donation to Union Mission. We are specifically looking
for frozen turkeys. It's the hardest thing to get donated
(16:43):
for the holiday meal because it's the most expensive. It
takes up the most space, so storing it is difficult,
and it's perishable. It's not like you can you know,
you can stack it in the corner of the garage
and have it be safe. So working with Jason at
Union Mission, we know that the Thursday before thanks Giving
is the sweet spot on when we get those turkeys
and can get them distributed to families in needs so
(17:05):
that they can all have or at least as many
of them as we can support, can have a festive
holiday meal. I believe every family deserves that. And cash
and check donations also warmly accepted. You'd be amazed at
how far they can stretch the green at Union Mission.
So Appalachian Power Company is on board. Thank you to
APCO for powering this whole thing this year. And I
(17:28):
will be in a in a turkey, so there will
be a six foot turkey out on six foot one
inch Turkey out on the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
And we have some other great sponsors. I know Accent
construction is part of Serve pro Appleachia Power. I mean,
you know there are some other We can't do anything
without our sponsors, but more importantly without our listeners. Yes,
because I've said time and time and time again, Rob,
we have the greatest listeners in the world. If you
don't think we have the greatest listeners in the world,
let me tell you a quick story. On Friday, on
(17:58):
the Adopt Me Please ped of the Week, I had
a pig by the name of Amy swinehouse all right
later in the show because the pig's owner had died, okay,
and so they're trying to find a home for this pig.
Angie and the fine folks up at the animal shelter said,
we're not really in the pig business here. When I
text Angie during the midday show and I said, hey,
(18:19):
how are we doing? There were people waiting up there
to adopt Amy's swinehouse that heard it on this show.
They were waiting when they opened the doors up there.
If only they'd had an Anthony Porkins to go with it,
I think we would have so I say that to
say we have the greatest listeners in the world, and
they come through every year we do West Virginians take
care of West Virginians. And this is a particularly tough
(18:42):
year in addition to all of the regular things. And
I can quote one in six West Virginian's food insecure,
one in four children food insecure. But with the government
shut down and everybody feels some kind of way about
that and politics free zone on our show down the Hall,
but who no matter whose fault you think that shut
(19:03):
down is, it made things even.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
More difficult for folks who were already in need, and
getting things moving again has been tough. So it's an
even tougher year. This is our third annual and it
may be the most important year that we have done this.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
And again the folks at Union Mission were on site.
They'll be out here with the with the freezer truck
ready to go. You don't even have to get out
of your car. That's one of the great things about this.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
And it's going to be a decent day on Thursday,
cloudy in sixty two. I'm actually worried about being a
little warm in that giant turkey suit that I'm going
to be in but first world problems. Yeah, we just
hand us the turkey through the window, or if we
got ten of them in the back, pop the hatch.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We will grab them for you. You do not have
to lift a finger. And there were some I got
a text last week and I don't I know Pigley
Wigglely is.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Doing some sales.
Speaker 13 (19:55):
I know that kroger has had some sales or I'm sorry,
we properly call it here Virginia.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
The Kroger's is.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
Doing some sales. So wherever you get your turkey is fantastic.
Even better is tho Casher check donations because of the
buying power in bulk that Union mission has. But I
know there are some people that need something tangible. They
have to have something to hand over, and that's why
a frozen turkey is perfect.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Talking to Rob Brioll from Superstar Country Kuble. Yes, our
turkey drop starts at seven a m. On Thursday morning
to Dave Allen Show on five vide Line. Brought to
you in part by Bridge Valley Community of Technical College.
Insurance agents are in demand in the States and across
the country. Bridge Valley can help you take that first step.
Their insurance pre Sales Licenser course prepared to to sit
for the state required Property and Casualty Insurance Licensured exam
(20:42):
starts your career in this ever growing field. Bridge Valley
dot edu is the website Bridge Valley dot eedu Bridge
Valley Community and Technical College. Your career starts here. And
and I want to mention that again about the buying
power that they have. Again, I mean, radio people, because
of our pay are are good at stretching dollars. We
(21:02):
ain't got nothing on these folks though, Rob No.
Speaker 13 (21:04):
It's really amazing what Jason and everybody on down at
Union Mission can do with a dollar feeding Like what
I want to say, it's like twelve meals. But you know,
I don't want to be wrong. It's something almost absurd
like that that they can do with the buying power.
(21:25):
And I know that there are folks who have their
reservations because of past scandals with other organizations, and it's
not like that over at Union Mission. Believe me, I've
been over there and met the folks and everything is
on the up and up, so you can feel confident
whether it's cash or a check donation.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
That you want to make. I found that text that
actually came through on Thursday when you were here, And
I don't know whether this is still an effect or not,
but the text on Thursday so that Kroger frozen holed
turkeys were on sale for seventy nine cents a pound,
and that sale started last week, and the textra said
not sure if the twenty five dollars purchase it quiet.
I know it's ninety nine cents per pound for butter balls,
(22:02):
Pigley Wiggly which you mentioned, twenty nine cents a pound
with a fifty dollars purchase. That was as of last Thursday.
I'm not sure if those prices were still in the fact,
but bottom line is most grocers will put them on
sale anyway as we get closer to Thanksgiving because they
don't have a hard time, you know, moving them at
that time. So they're gonna be specially priced probably wherever
you go.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
And if you want to do a donation like seventy
nine cents per pound, I come in about two, twenty two,
twenty one, whatever it takes. So when you see me
in the turkey costume, you want to donate seventy nine
cents a pound, I'm not going to map that out
for you by one hundred and ninety bucks.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
All right, all right, just throwing that out there, seven
am till six pm. On our part, we're going to
have you on each day to talk about it. And again,
the weather not horrible, because we've done some things in
the outdoors when we battled rain and snow and ice,
and but we do a couple of things like this
a year, and our listeners always always step up. And
(22:53):
it always amazes me too. And I'll say this is
as politely as I can. When you see people that
pull up on our parking lot and you just you know,
maybe they don't have the newest car in the world.
It's looks like, you know, we've all seen a duct
tape bumper. It's a radio car basically. It's you know,
you see them pull up. But those are the people
that always donate.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
I you know, I grew up in one of those
families where first thing on Thanksgiving morning we went out
and we went turkey hunting because if we didn't get one,
we weren't going to have a turkey.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
So I come by this honestly, and I.
Speaker 13 (23:24):
Know that those are the folks maybe who are who
are most emotionally invested in feeding folks in need, and.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
The turkey is very important because you can't really it's
kind of hard to kind of hard to go out
green bean cast role hunting on Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
Yes, although Nancy's green gunk, we still don't know where
that comes from.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Am I the only person in the world whereb that
loves green bean castrole? I really like. I don't think
you're the only one. I think it depends on what
goes in it.
Speaker 13 (23:50):
I mean, if it doesn't have the cream mushroom soup
and the onion straws over the top, I want no
part of it.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I there's not any part of the Thanksgiving meal I
don't like though. I mean, that's that's the thing. Yeah,
you want to what was your favorite part of the show?
And yes, exactly, exactly like a good Statler and Waldorf
on my way out the sport? Do you know you
were talking? I throw this in here because anytime you've
met Rob and I together, Lord knows what's gonna happen.
There's a reason you have a show again, exactly. But
(24:16):
Johnny Carson had this theory that there was only one
fruitcake in the world and it just kept getting passed
from person to person. Yes, I actually and I believe
that fruitcake was less tra Mannix. Oh no wait, I'm sorry,
that was Dick Cabot. Never mind, I actually like fruitcake too.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
Used to be a veteran.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
You're still a veteran. Rob Real who we had in
here earlier is is a marine, and he likes to
correct people who say you're a former marine because you're
never a former marine. You're always a marine.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is that's the gentleman?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yes here, yeah, okay, Morning morning show hosts ninety six
to one KWS. We're doing our turkey drop on Thursday,
seven am to six pm. So people want to drive
through a parking lot and donate a turkey to us.
We're giving it to working with folks at Union Mission
on that seven am to six pm.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
What is.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
What I wonder when he was in the Marine Corps?
Did he say, I don't.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
He's a couple of years younger than I am, and
I'm fifty five and Rob's like few the one fifty two,
So I don't. So he would have been, you know,
I'm going to guests late eighties, early early to mid nineties.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Yeah, so he ended up seems like yesterday and it
was actually fifty five years ago. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
All right. So I am holding in my hand the book.
When you started talking about this thing? What how long?
When did you start actually working on the book a
year ago? Okay? Because I remember having you on the
show a few years ago and I asked you about
writing a book. I think somebody even texted and said
you should write a book, and you told me then
(29:36):
you were you were thoroughly against it.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
But was thoroughly against I just didn't. I don't want
to hurt people, and I didn't hurt anybody in that book.
I didn't. I mean, I don't think I did.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I told some personal stories and some conflicts I had
within my family. And there's nobody I heard that's alive.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
U.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
But it's Harry MacLean, the guy who wrote in Broad Daylight.
He said from nineteen seventy four, when you get to
nineteen seventy four, that's riding High, that's that chapter. When
(30:24):
you get from there to nineteen eighty four, it is
a puzzle to figure out he went from that to
be in sheriff for Connall County. It's just I look
back on it, I can't believe it, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
And what's interesting to me. And I'm reading from the
back of the book here and a lot of people
may not know this about you. People that have been
around Charleston and a wild man. I know you, but
I mean may not know this. But you were born
you say born into a world of privilege, yearning for authenticity.
Explain that, well, I.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
I would go to school and people would tell me,
you know, your parents have so much money. Well they
never showed me any of it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And I.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
When you're from over the part where the old Clark
House was, you know where the murder was, there weren't
a lot of kids over there, and so there wasn't
I wanted to be over on Oakmont Road where the
baseball was, where the baseball field was. But I don't,
(31:47):
I mean, I don't know. I don't know how to
quite answer that. I know that my life changed. There's
a chapter in there called Richard Butler, and he's around
and he we would hang around a pool room called
(32:08):
the Hub. There was he and I and George Jarrett
and none of us had a pot or a window,
I mean nothing. And a guy came in there one
night named Jay Sugarman. J Sugarman went to Morris Harvey
and lived at the Worthy Hotel.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Which is now the University of Charleston, not the hotel,
I mean Moore's Harvey.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, the hotel has been torn down, and it was
over there next to the Quarter Diner, and he worked
up there at the Roaring twenties, and that's when liquor
was illegal. That's when Charleston really thrived. When booze was illegal,
Charleston rocked and he said he needed somebody to wash
(33:00):
glasses for ten dollars a night. Richard jumped at it
and then he learned a ten bar and then George
went up there.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
And he.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Started washing glasses. Well, I mean I looked fourteen years old.
I couldn't go up there. So I went back to
the Sterling. I had worked through the Sterling through the summer,
and I went back to the Sterling and worked there
until I got out of high school. And worked every
single job in the restaurant plus the main line cook
(33:37):
and I'm on the weekends.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
So I had money to walk around on and we
all had money. Then we all have None of us
had cars. I mean I had a car, but I
didn't have a driver's license. And I guess that's when
I fell offense. When I had a job. And then
(34:04):
I started working at the filling station at the same
time I was working Sterling. And then I built a
race car and raced it one trophies with it. Guy
got killed running me with it.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
You've told that, You've told me that story before. It's
a tract. And cars are always have always been very
important to you.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
I love old cars.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Do you have what do you have now?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
That Cadillac? And then I have, uh, well, here's a
Cadillac fifty nine. And then I have the Nomad which
I raced, which I'm redoing. It's gonna cost It'll cost
two hundred thousand dollars by the time I get done
with that car. It's everything in it. It's set for
(34:51):
forty years, set in my brother's garage. He became somewhat
of a hoarder.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, you to say, and none of us had come from,
you know, the world of leave it to Beaver. Okay,
we've all got back. But you know, I think people
that don't know your story, Danny, might be a little
surprised that you know, you didn't. And I touched on
this earlier. You can come from exactly the best family.
(35:20):
You came from a family with money, but money, money,
money ain't everything.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
It's in the book.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, it's all in the book.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
It's all in the book.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Was it painful for you to write some of those things? Yes,
I mean I just always wonder when people. And I
had had a bunch of musicians, you know, the guys
from am of Steel Band on the show Friday. And
always like to ask people that write music or that
write anything, what your writing process like? You know, you
sit down, I'm gonna write so much today you just
(35:51):
walk around with a notepad or record or your phone
and you make notes in it or whatever. Did you
take time when you actually just sat down and just
wrote no charge.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Well, there's a chapter in there because she kept hitting me.
I wrote that one years ago. I just wrote it,
and uh so that's in the book. That was painful.
(36:20):
And my mother and I had a very tense competitive
relationship and we got along the last ten years of
her life. And I'll tell you a story. This is
(36:48):
one of my favorite stories. It's in the book. There
was a house up on Norwood Road. This is in
the book twenty seven Norwood Road. And my mother wanted
me to buy the house, you know, and I said,
I looked at the house. It was a little house,
(37:09):
two bedroom, and I thought they won one hundred and
twenty five, one hundred and twenty nine whatever it was.
I paid one hundred quarter for it. But she said
you should buy this house. And I know what she
wanted to do. She wanted to patch up things, and
(37:29):
she wanted to be around the grandson, because Zach at
that time was a really sweet kid.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
And so.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
I called Frank Veltry and I said, come up here
and look at this house with me. And he looked
at the house. He says, the property, the lot's worth
one hundred and twenty five thousand, and the house is free. Well,
my dad had just died and he left me on
one thousand dollars, and plus I had some more money,
(38:03):
so I just wrote a check for the house and
moved in it. So she came in the house with me,
and she looked at this and that and the other,
and she's going to change this and that and the other.
And then she walked in the living room and there
was a Sears fan in the living room, those little
(38:25):
drop lights, you know what I'm talking about, little droopy lights.
And she says, and I want rid of that GD
fan like that. And I knew that if I was
going to have to stop her anywhere, I was gonna
have to stop her at the fan. So I waited
(38:45):
till she left, and I went down to her house.
I said, Mom, you don't have to worry about anything
inside the house. She had a guy that worked for
that did landscaping. I said, do you want to do
the outside and put box shruved around the house. So
I kept her out of the house. And she didn't
(39:08):
like it at all, and for the rest of her life.
She lived for three more years. She drive a big
Lincoln and had a big plate glass window there. I
never closed the drapes. I didn't have to. I didn't
get dressed there. It was a living room and she's
looking their see if the fam was still there.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Fan was kind of symbolic.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
I guess, well, if somebody is encroaching on your turf,
if somebody is being codependent with you, if they're violating
your space, find out where the fan is.

because what you don't know can't hurt you, what what
point of your life did your mother past? How old
(40:06):
were you or what time was it I was or
what were you in life? Is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
It was forty eight and I was doing I was
working State.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I was.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
Working at the working at Transportation, which was a big mistake.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
I didn't as long as I've known it, I didn't
know that you worked at WAS. I had Brent Walker job, okay,
and now I didn't know that. And then Sam Banasso
needed to get confirmed. And as soon as I got
him confirmed, I was out of there and I went back.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Up to.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
Up on the hill to another the other radio things
down the dial right, and I worked there for about
a year and then they decided they were going to
change things.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
But here you are still on the radio.
Speaker 9 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I like the radio.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Well you're good at it.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
Well, I like it. I mean, I like radio. I
like listening to it.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
You know, there was a I don't know if you
caught it, but over the weekend, I think it was
on Saturday on the CBS Sunday Morning News. I just
happen to have it on on that channel, and they
were talking about the resurgence of radio, and I told
my wife and so I got to watch it and
it was all about serious satellite though, which is still.
(41:31):
I mean, like I'm a serious satellite subscriber mainly when
I drove a lot.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
But it does it doesn't not do this well, it's
you know, it does not do this though.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Agree, I mean, they're still and.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
I use it when I'm traveling, when I'm on the road.
I don't use it in town here. Yeah. But also
forget serious or radio. What about all the podcasts that
are out there.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah, there's there's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot of
podcasts out there right now. They're really really there, but
they're I mean, look, people have been saying for years
that radio was was dying, and it's not. What is
changing is what has been changing over the last twenty
years is the way that people consume radio. You know,
(42:18):
I mean shows like this, you know, whether it's news
or sports or whatever. You know, half your listeners aren't
listening live, they're listening later.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
That's why it's so important that you have an online presence.
Speaker 12 (42:29):
And this I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Yeah, yeah, probably fifty percent. I don't base that on
anything other than just talking to people. Fifty percent of
the people that listen to the show don't listen to
it live. They're listening to it later. I've got people
that say, I listen to your show in the evening
when I'm working out, I listen to whatever. And the
way that people are actually listening to when they do
listen live, they're listening on apps. They're listening, you know,
(42:52):
on their iPad or you know. But there's something to
be said for radio. I had to ask you one
thing before we go to break here. I just let
me feel the bucket. I had not seen the book
at all till you brought it in to me this morning.
Thank you for the autograph, by the way, and I'm
looking through it here, and you had it was this
a I guess a poster or some sort of an
advertisement when you run for office? And said, the stud
(43:14):
with handcuffs? No, no, no, that was that was a
calendar that okay, the stud with handcuffs. Kenny Bath was
in that calendar. Okay.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
We had a MI was mister June, and I had
my Cadillac. I had my seventy eight Cadillac, and I
was there with my short and my Panama had on
and I was a shirt and some I think I
had a pistol with a whole stirs and handcuffs and
(43:43):
it was it was a joke.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Okay, I'm gonna say you didn't seriously refer to yourself
as a stud with handcuffs?
Speaker 6 (43:49):
Did they did?
Speaker 8 (43:49):
I did?
Speaker 9 (43:51):

and Pete Thaw every morning as I was on the road.
Always enjoyed his program. Thanks, I can hear you fine.
You know we're not taking phone calls at all. I
got it, Okay, all right, all right, all right? So
(46:38):
what about that? The text had listened to Mayor Danny
Pete Thaw every morning as I was on the road,
always enjoyed the program.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Yeah, Pete would be on with me. He's right, out
of the school board. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
But I didn't know mister Thal but I remember reading.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
The well Pete was at one time he was a
big Democrat. He was into the Rockefeller campaign in seventy
two and seventy six, and then you got to be
friends with Governor Moore, and Governor Moore gave him that
(47:14):
job at the at the racetrack and then guests and
got the job and cut his salary in half. Maybe
he's trying to get rid of him. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
Right now? And we had somebody to ask about an
e book, and you know you explained that that once
before that. You just think because you'd want to have
all these people, you know, it would involve too many
voices in your opinion.
Speaker 6 (47:55):
I just don't see that happening. This is a local book.
This is not a book somebody and the only person
in Denver, Colorado is going to read it. Harry MacLean,
And that's the guy who wrote in the Borah Daylight,
the book about Skidmore. He's actually read a unedited copy
(48:17):
of it. He's already read it. But I'm going to
send him a book and uh and see what he thinks,
and you know, see what possibilities it has. But he
was really he was really stymmied by the fact that
(48:38):
I went from and you'll read about had called riding
high from then until being chaff of the county. How
could you go from one to the other, you know?
And that's when I worked at the Daniel Boone's the
best job ever had in my life. It is what
I questioned, the best job I ever had in my life.
(49:00):
Now I couldn't have kept it because number one, they closed.
But number two, it's a job for a young man.
It's not a job for an older guy, you know.
And I lived there, I ate there, I drank there,
I did everything there.

if I'd have done, it had been a lot darker
because with me, there's I mean, I'm pretty transparent. And
are you sure you want to put that in there. No,
maybe I.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Should yeh know, well, it's good I think sometimes to
have a have that friend, you know, somebody a buffer,
somebody that is well, Robby shouldn't do that.
Speaker 6 (50:41):
But it was his idea, uh huh, that to write
the book. You mean yeah, I mean he called me.
You know, he'd done those two bucks on the Clark
murderer and on the house I grew up in. And
he thinks it's kind of neat that I'm the only
four term mayor in Charleston's history. I don't know if
this mayor is gonna do it. I know he's going
to do three terms. I told her, I said, do
(51:05):
seven terms. Just make sure you want to be there,
because my last term I shouldn't have been there.
Speaker 4 (51:13):
I mean, what do you say that.
Speaker 6 (51:14):
I was just tired of it, and you could tell it.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
We got to close it out here. But what was
it you were tired of? I know, the whole thing
with Needles really took a lot out of it. Oh
and you spent a lot of time talking about it
in the book, But go ahead.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
Yeah, the needles. And of course we did the convention center,
but a lot of the people that worked there and
the council turned on me. People that worked there, a
lot of them, it shouldn't have been, were disloyal and
(51:47):
and the higher, the higher they got paid, the worse
it was. And I'm just I was glad to get
out of there.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
I really was.
Speaker 4 (51:57):
The book is out now. It's called Call Me Dan,
Danny Jones with Charles Charlie, Ryan Street Kid The Power Broker.

This Friday and Saturday, the fifty sixth annual Capital City
Art and Craft Show back at the Connell Seem Convention Center.
John Robertson is here to talk about it. Good morning, sir,
and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Good morning, thanks for having us.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Thanks for being here all right, So do want to
mention the show was sponsored by the Kinosity Lions Club.
What about one hundred and fifty years, so, vendors, you
expect we'll.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Have about one hundred and twenty exhibitors in one hundred
and fifty boost. Okay, we'll fill the entire grand hall.
It's thirty six thousand square feet.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And what kind of things will we expect for everything?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know, and it's there.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
And one thing that you'll find is that in our show,
we have turnover every year, so about twenty five percent
of the exhibitors are new to the show. So if
you came last year, you aren't going to see all
the same stuff. There's something new and fresh for you
to see as well.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
And what are some of the I mean, I know
you can't have all one hundred and twenty, but give
it weeks out this year.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
We do have some painters that are quite accomplished.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's new.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
We have a lot of pottery, a lot of jewelry, woodworking, textiles,
West Virginia food products.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You can go around.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
You'll think you're at sam sampling all the things while
you're there.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And that's what I do now.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
And I tell you I've said this before, John West
Virginia has got some really good, really talented artistans out there.
But for me, it's all about the food. And we
have some great foods that are made here in West Virginia.
We do, and we'll have them all, several of them
on display. All right, yes, and talk about that relationship.
As we said with the Kanosity Lions Club.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Well, actually the show started fifty six years ago. It
is purely a promotion of the Kano City Lions Club.
They work at all all our members have jobs to do.
And the thing about our show is that one hundred
percent of the net goes to charity. Nothing goes to
(04:30):
administrative So when you do anything with the Lions Club,
you can be assured that it's not the profits aren't
eating up with administrative costs. And over the years, we've
donated one point six million dollars to local charities and
we have some of those that are kind of come
to depend on us each year to help them with
(04:52):
their budget. And then but we're nimble enough that if
there's a flood, if there's food insecurity, that's really prime
situation now that we can be nimble enough that we
can help take care of some of those folks.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Now, talk about the history of the Lions Club. How
long has it been around?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
The Canall City Alliance Club was chartered in nineteen fifty
fifty four. Okay I joined in nineteen seventy five and
I'm a fifty year member.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, congratulations on that, because Lions Club's always I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Know if I don't know if I want to hang
my head on that or not.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How's your membership, Ben, I mean, because here's the reason
I bring that up. Because several of the civic organizations,
whether it's Lions, Kawana's Rotary, whatever the case, maybe we
have talked about over the years that the membership started
to dwindle a little bit. Maybe it's not just as
important or top of mind. But how's your membership?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Well, when I joined fifty years ago, we had nearly
one hundred members in our club. Now, COVID really hurt
us as well as a lot of service organizations, and
so we're down to thirty members now, okay, but you
know it's an active club. Well that we do pick
up tray.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
You can do a lot with thirty members. I mean,
you really can if you got thirty active members, like
you said.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
And we support a lot of different activities, you know,
by volunteering as an organization, it would ring the bells
and all kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Talk about some of the charities that I mean just
mentioned a few that you've raised funds.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Well, we aren't restricted just to Kanaw City activities. We
are going to affect things throughout the valley, but in
Kanas City itself. We donate six thousand dollars annually to
the schools in Kanas City. Plus we support scholarships at
the University Charleston and Capitol High School. We do project
graduations all over the county. We work with West Virginia Health, Right,
(06:42):
Salvation Army Mountain Mission, so there's.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
A whole we touch everybody.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
You would be a surprised that the organizations that we
do support in the community.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But Dave Alan Chowing five Any Live is brought to you
in part by your hometown baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds,
the Selango Law Light that I returning to go Mark
Ballpark November the twenty first through January the first gets
you tickets in advance by visiting dB Lightthnight dot com.
Please make sure that you get those tickets in advance.
Definitely the way to go now if somebody is listening
right now and they are a vendor is because it's
too late to sign up.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Or yes, we just closed it off yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay, how many people just a ballpark come through the doors.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Every year, we'll do about seven thousand.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
But seven thousand people over the two days.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's just two days.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Years ago we were three days, but we found that
Sundays weren't very productive right yet, so we cut it
to two.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah. Sometimes, I mean Sundays used to be people would
attend things like that after church and whatever. But it's
got I guess different activities right and stuff down. Well,
it's going to be a great time. It always is
over there. Appreciate the tickets, by the way, I want
to be checking it out this weekend. And you know,
just kind of an advertising cliche John to say there
is something for everybody, but there really is something for everybody.
(07:53):
There is talk about some of your favorite things there.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Well, you know, over the years, my wife and I
have spent a lot of money. We've got enough stuff
right now so we're uh, but we I buy a
lot of the food products now and but you know,
it's it's a great place to do if you want
to refresh your holiday, ta corps to find new things
(08:17):
to add. Also great place to buy something unique. Because
I'm gonna say big box stores, you know you got
that special person that you've bought enough sweaters or you
have too much of the same thing, and something unique
means something, and so we I think a lot of
people enjoy doing that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, I've been saying people probably do their their Christmas
shopping too.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
When to come up. Now you're doing something special. I understand.
For the first and fifty, the.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
First two hundred we are this year's ago. We have
we print up some counterfeit money. You get the first
two hundred and fifty people through the door get a
discount coupon. We're the purchase of an item in the
show at a dollar off. And then also we we're
doing a collection of food product with Mountain Mission. They'll
(09:04):
have a box truck parked right at the front door
into the convention hall, and if you bring a non
perishable food product one or twenty, you'll get a discount
coupon for admission into the show. The mission into the
show is seven dollars for adults, two dollars for children
twelve and under. And then also we have a group
(09:24):
from the Appalachian Children's Choir that we'll be performing at
one o'clock on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All right, this all sounds good and I love the
fact that you're collecting nonperishable food items, because as you said,
that's kind of I mean, the folks at Mountain Mission
and these other organizations do great work anyway, but over
the last couple of weeks with the government shut down
and everything back, it's still going to take some time
to get people back on there, even though the snap
benefits have been restored to get people back on their
feet again.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
And while we normally hold off until the first quarter
of the year to make the bulk of our donations,
we voted to accelerate our country annual contributions to Salvation Army,
Mountain Mission, Meals on Wheels, the groups that are helping
with food insecurities.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's all good, I mean, sounds great, and it's all
happening this Friday and Saturday over the Connell Suma Convention Center.
And we've got information available on you guys got social
media or websites or anything.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Website or assume me our Facebook page would be the
best place to go. And that's Capital City Art and
Craft Show.

All right, and give us the hours again.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
The hours on Friday are one until seven and on
Saturday or ten am until seven pm.
Speaker 4 (10:38):

always is, and it's always very well attend That's amazing.
I mean, I've had you on as long as I've
been doing the show. I've had you on every year
to talk about it. But I didn't realize that there
were that many people that came through the door. Seven
thousand people for two days.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's very popular.
Speaker 4 (10:52):

(14:23):
but I do not get why they would charge to
come in just be able to buy more stuff. Well,
that's because it's a fundraiser. That's what's why they charge
you to kibet. I do appreciate that what I think
was a little bit of humor in that as well.
But Rob Reel, speaking of a little human rob Reel
for our sister Station ninety six one KWS is here.
How you doing, man? I can't complain sometimes I still do,
but one you can complain all you want.
Speaker 12 (14:44):
Life.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
It's been good to me so far, but no one can.
Should be a song, but no one cares. All right
to you, big arch and crafts kind of guy.
Speaker 13 (14:51):
That's not really my scene. But you know, uh well,
it depends on how we're defining arts and crafts. I
suppose there was a time when when my fine motor
skills still worked, that I was a journeyman cabinet maker.
So I mean there's a little bit of that, a
little bit of we're working.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
My past right, So I'm the least artistic person in
the world. I mean literally, I mean, let's tell you
what a bad artist I was, even as a kid
growing up. Okay, how bad were you? I mean, I'm
going to tell you how bad I was. When I
was a kid and they would have art in school,
like you know, at the end of the day, they
would my art was so bad. How bad was that?
I'm going to tell you it was so bad that
(15:29):
the my elementary school teacher would let me read encyclopedias
instead and that's what when it came to when it
came to Art's time, that's what. That's what Little David
got up and went over and got the a encyclopedia
and read it. Now it served me well because I
have a head full of you know nothing right now,
(15:50):
and I can answer a lot of questions on Jeopardy,
but don't ask me to draw anything. As you say,
you know all the countries in Africa because you studied
that A. Yeah, I only had the one I ever made.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
It to the other well, that was the one they
got free. That was the that was that was the
first hits free version of encyclopedias. And yeah, all right,
so we're ready to drop some turkeys on Thursday, talk
about yes please, So from seven in the morning until
six in the evening here at eleven eleven Virginia Street East.
That's if you're a GPS plugger in or if you
need a cross street Leon Sullivan and then you know,
(16:20):
make the left onto Virginia Street because that's the only
way you can go their one way streets right next
to First Prez whatever whatever you need as a down
the street from Charleston Catholic. Yes, however, however, you need
to get here. We want to see you between seven
and six on Thursday. Loop through our parking lot and
make a donation to Union Mission. We are specifically looking
for frozen turkeys. It's the hardest thing to get donated
(16:43):
for the holiday meal because it's the most expensive. It
takes up the most space, so storing it is difficult,
and it's perishable. It's not like you can you know,
you can stack it in the corner of the garage
and have it be safe. So working with Jason at
Union Mission, we know that the Thursday before thanks Giving
is the sweet spot on when we get those turkeys
and can get them distributed to families in needs so
(17:05):
that they can all have or at least as many
of them as we can support, can have a festive
holiday meal. I believe every family deserves that. And cash
and check donations also warmly accepted. You'd be amazed at
how far they can stretch the green at Union Mission.
So Appalachian Power Company is on board. Thank you to
APCO for powering this whole thing this year. And I
(17:28):
will be in a in a turkey, so there will
be a six foot turkey out on six foot one
inch Turkey out on the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
And we have some other great sponsors. I know Accent
construction is part of Serve pro Appleachia Power. I mean,
you know there are some other We can't do anything
without our sponsors, but more importantly without our listeners. Yes,
because I've said time and time and time again, Rob,
we have the greatest listeners in the world. If you
don't think we have the greatest listeners in the world,
let me tell you a quick story. On Friday, on
(17:58):
the Adopt Me Please ped of the Week, I had
a pig by the name of Amy swinehouse all right
later in the show because the pig's owner had died, okay,
and so they're trying to find a home for this pig.
Angie and the fine folks up at the animal shelter said,
we're not really in the pig business here. When I
text Angie during the midday show and I said, hey,
(18:19):
how are we doing? There were people waiting up there
to adopt Amy's swinehouse that heard it on this show.
They were waiting when they opened the doors up there.
If only they'd had an Anthony Porkins to go with it,
I think we would have so I say that to
say we have the greatest listeners in the world, and
they come through every year we do West Virginians take
care of West Virginians. And this is a particularly tough
(18:42):
year in addition to all of the regular things. And
I can quote one in six West Virginian's food insecure,
one in four children food insecure. But with the government
shut down and everybody feels some kind of way about
that and politics free zone on our show down the Hall,
but who no matter whose fault you think that shut
(19:03):
down is, it made things even.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
More difficult for folks who were already in need, and
getting things moving again has been tough. So it's an
even tougher year. This is our third annual and it
may be the most important year that we have done this.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
And again the folks at Union Mission were on site.
They'll be out here with the with the freezer truck
ready to go. You don't even have to get out
of your car. That's one of the great things about this.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
And it's going to be a decent day on Thursday,
cloudy in sixty two. I'm actually worried about being a
little warm in that giant turkey suit that I'm going
to be in but first world problems. Yeah, we just
hand us the turkey through the window, or if we
got ten of them in the back, pop the hatch.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
We will grab them for you. You do not have
to lift a finger. And there were some I got
a text last week and I don't I know Pigley
Wigglely is.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Doing some sales.
Speaker 13 (19:55):
I know that kroger has had some sales or I'm sorry,
we properly call it here Virginia.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
The Kroger's is.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
Doing some sales. So wherever you get your turkey is fantastic.
Even better is tho Casher check donations because of the
buying power in bulk that Union mission has. But I
know there are some people that need something tangible. They
have to have something to hand over, and that's why
a frozen turkey is perfect.
Speaker 4 (20:22):

turkey drop starts at seven a m. On Thursday morning

It's really amazing what Jason and everybody on down at
Union Mission can do with a dollar feeding Like what
I want to say, it's like twelve meals. But you know,
I don't want to be wrong. It's something almost absurd
like that that they can do with the buying power.
(21:25):
And I know that there are folks who have their
reservations because of past scandals with other organizations, and it's
not like that over at Union Mission. Believe me, I've
been over there and met the folks and everything is
on the up and up, so you can feel confident
whether it's cash or a check donation.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
That you want to make. I found that text that
actually came through on Thursday when you were here, And
I don't know whether this is still an effect or not,
but the text on Thursday so that Kroger frozen holed
turkeys were on sale for seventy nine cents a pound,
and that sale started last week, and the textra said
not sure if the twenty five dollars purchase it quiet.
I know it's ninety nine cents per pound for butter balls,
(22:02):
Pigley Wiggly which you mentioned, twenty nine cents a pound
with a fifty dollars purchase. That was as of last Thursday.
I'm not sure if those prices were still in the fact,
but bottom line is most grocers will put them on
sale anyway as we get closer to Thanksgiving because they
don't have a hard time, you know, moving them at
that time. So they're gonna be specially priced probably wherever
you go.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
And if you want to do a donation like seventy
nine cents per pound, I come in about two, twenty two,
twenty one, whatever it takes. So when you see me
in the turkey costume, you want to donate seventy nine
cents a pound, I'm not going to map that out
for you by one hundred and ninety bucks.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
All right, all right, just throwing that out there, seven
am till six pm. On our part, we're going to
have you on each day to talk about it. And again,
the weather not horrible, because we've done some things in
the outdoors when we battled rain and snow and ice,
and but we do a couple of things like this
a year, and our listeners always always step up. And
(22:53):
it always amazes me too. And I'll say this is
as politely as I can. When you see people that
pull up on our parking lot and you just you know,
maybe they don't have the newest car in the world.
It's looks like, you know, we've all seen a duct
tape bumper. It's a radio car basically. It's you know,
you see them pull up. But those are the people
that always donate.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
I you know, I grew up in one of those
families where first thing on Thanksgiving morning we went out
and we went turkey hunting because if we didn't get one,
we weren't going to have a turkey.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
So I come by this honestly, and I.
Speaker 13 (23:24):
Know that those are the folks maybe who are who
are most emotionally invested in feeding folks in need, and.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
The turkey is very important because you can't really it's
kind of hard to kind of hard to go out
green bean cast role hunting on Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
Yes, although Nancy's green gunk, we still don't know where
that comes from.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Am I the only person in the world whereb that
loves green bean castrole? I really like. I don't think
you're the only one. I think it depends on what
goes in it.
Speaker 13 (23:50):
I mean, if it doesn't have the cream mushroom soup
and the onion straws over the top, I want no
part of it.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I there's not any part of the Thanksgiving meal I
don't like though. I mean, that's that's the thing. Yeah,
you want to what was your favorite part of the show?
And yes, exactly, exactly like a good Statler and Waldorf
on my way out the sport? Do you know you
were talking? I throw this in here because anytime you've
met Rob and I together, Lord knows what's gonna happen.
There's a reason you have a show again, exactly. But
(24:16):
Johnny Carson had this theory that there was only one
fruitcake in the world and it just kept getting passed
from person to person. Yes, I actually and I believe
that fruitcake was less tra Mannix. Oh no wait, I'm sorry,
that was Dick Cabot. Never mind, I actually like fruitcake too.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
You're the one.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It's the one. You're the one, all right, Rob Real,
our sister station ninety six one KWS. But again, this
is kind of your baby. But we're all going to
be out there in the mountain to beat V one
hundred one. I'll be out there. You're gonna be hearing
a lot about it on all of our stations. And
when we say that little the little tones at the
top of the hour, that sound like happy birthday. Ever
since BT Brian Thompson pointed that out to me, I
(24:51):
cannot get that out of my head. The first four
notes of Country Roads, It's almost okay to me, it's
happy birthday. Okay, So you didn't do well music.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
Class as well as our Now what you're saying, I
played the radio. He was reading the z Encyclopedia and
music class. But my point is is that we are
proud to live here too. That's why we do these.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
Used to be a veteran.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
You're still a veteran. Rob Real who we had in
here earlier is is a marine, and he likes to
correct people who say you're a former marine because you're
never a former marine. You're always a marine.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is that's the gentleman?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yes here, yeah, okay, Morning morning show hosts ninety six
to one KWS. We're doing our turkey drop on Thursday,
seven am to six pm. So people want to drive
through a parking lot and donate a turkey to us.
We're giving it to working with folks at Union Mission
on that seven am to six pm.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
What is.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
What I wonder when he was in the Marine Corps?
Did he say, I don't.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
He's a couple of years younger than I am, and
I'm fifty five and Rob's like few the one fifty two,
So I don't. So he would have been, you know,
I'm going to guests late eighties, early early to mid nineties.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Yeah, so he ended up seems like yesterday and it
was actually fifty five years ago. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
All right. So I am holding in my hand the book.
When you started talking about this thing? What how long?
When did you start actually working on the book a
year ago? Okay? Because I remember having you on the
show a few years ago and I asked you about
writing a book. I think somebody even texted and said
you should write a book, and you told me then
(29:36):
you were you were thoroughly against it.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
But was thoroughly against I just didn't. I don't want
to hurt people, and I didn't hurt anybody in that book.
I didn't. I mean, I don't think I did.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I told some personal stories and some conflicts I had
within my family. And there's nobody I heard that's alive.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
U.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
But it's Harry MacLean, the guy who wrote in Broad Daylight.
He said from nineteen seventy four, when you get to
nineteen seventy four, that's riding High, that's that chapter. When
(30:24):
you get from there to nineteen eighty four, it is
a puzzle to figure out he went from that to
be in sheriff for Connall County. It's just I look
back on it, I can't believe it, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
And what's interesting to me. And I'm reading from the
back of the book here and a lot of people
may not know this about you. People that have been
around Charleston and a wild man. I know you, but
I mean may not know this. But you were born
you say born into a world of privilege, yearning for authenticity.
Explain that, well, I.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
I would go to school and people would tell me,
you know, your parents have so much money. Well they
never showed me any of it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And I.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
When you're from over the part where the old Clark
House was, you know where the murder was, there weren't
a lot of kids over there, and so there wasn't
I wanted to be over on Oakmont Road where the
baseball was, where the baseball field was. But I don't,
(31:47):
I mean, I don't know. I don't know how to
quite answer that. I know that my life changed. There's
a chapter in there called Richard Butler, and he's around
and he we would hang around a pool room called
(32:08):
the Hub. There was he and I and George Jarrett
and none of us had a pot or a window,
I mean nothing. And a guy came in there one
night named Jay Sugarman. J Sugarman went to Morris Harvey
and lived at the Worthy Hotel.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Which is now the University of Charleston, not the hotel,
I mean Moore's Harvey.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, the hotel has been torn down, and it was
over there next to the Quarter Diner, and he worked
up there at the Roaring twenties, and that's when liquor
was illegal. That's when Charleston really thrived. When booze was illegal,
Charleston rocked and he said he needed somebody to wash
(33:00):
glasses for ten dollars a night. Richard jumped at it
and then he learned a ten bar and then George
went up there.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
And he.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Started washing glasses. Well, I mean I looked fourteen years old.
I couldn't go up there. So I went back to
the Sterling. I had worked through the Sterling through the summer,
and I went back to the Sterling and worked there
until I got out of high school. And worked every
single job in the restaurant plus the main line cook
(33:37):
and I'm on the weekends.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
So I had money to walk around on and we
all had money. Then we all have None of us
had cars. I mean I had a car, but I
didn't have a driver's license. And I guess that's when
I fell offense. When I had a job. And then
(34:04):
I started working at the filling station at the same
time I was working Sterling. And then I built a
race car and raced it one trophies with it. Guy
got killed running me with it.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
You've told that, You've told me that story before. It's
a tract. And cars are always have always been very
important to you.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
I love old cars.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Do you have what do you have now?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
That Cadillac? And then I have, uh, well, here's a
Cadillac fifty nine. And then I have the Nomad which
I raced, which I'm redoing. It's gonna cost It'll cost
two hundred thousand dollars by the time I get done
with that car. It's everything in it. It's set for
(34:51):
forty years, set in my brother's garage. He became somewhat
of a hoarder.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, you to say, and none of us had come from,
you know, the world of leave it to Beaver. Okay,
we've all got back. But you know, I think people
that don't know your story, Danny, might be a little
surprised that you know, you didn't. And I touched on
this earlier. You can come from exactly the best family.
(35:20):
You came from a family with money, but money, money,
money ain't everything.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
It's in the book.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, it's all in the book.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
It's all in the book.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Was it painful for you to write some of those things? Yes,
I mean I just always wonder when people. And I
had had a bunch of musicians, you know, the guys
from am of Steel Band on the show Friday. And
always like to ask people that write music or that
write anything, what your writing process like? You know, you
sit down, I'm gonna write so much today you just
(35:51):
walk around with a notepad or record or your phone
and you make notes in it or whatever. Did you
take time when you actually just sat down and just
wrote no charge.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Well, there's a chapter in there because she kept hitting me.
I wrote that one years ago. I just wrote it,
and uh so that's in the book. That was painful.
(36:20):
And my mother and I had a very tense competitive
relationship and we got along the last ten years of
her life. And I'll tell you a story. This is
(36:48):
one of my favorite stories. It's in the book. There
was a house up on Norwood Road. This is in
the book twenty seven Norwood Road. And my mother wanted
me to buy the house, you know, and I said,
I looked at the house. It was a little house,
(37:09):
two bedroom, and I thought they won one hundred and
twenty five, one hundred and twenty nine whatever it was.
I paid one hundred quarter for it. But she said
you should buy this house. And I know what she
wanted to do. She wanted to patch up things, and
(37:29):
she wanted to be around the grandson, because Zach at
that time was a really sweet kid.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
And so.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
I called Frank Veltry and I said, come up here
and look at this house with me. And he looked
at the house. He says, the property, the lot's worth
one hundred and twenty five thousand, and the house is free. Well,
my dad had just died and he left me on
one thousand dollars, and plus I had some more money,
(38:03):
so I just wrote a check for the house and
moved in it. So she came in the house with me,
and she looked at this and that and the other,
and she's going to change this and that and the other.
And then she walked in the living room and there
was a Sears fan in the living room, those little
(38:25):
drop lights, you know what I'm talking about, little droopy lights.
And she says, and I want rid of that GD
fan like that. And I knew that if I was
going to have to stop her anywhere, I was gonna
have to stop her at the fan. So I waited
(38:45):
till she left, and I went down to her house.
I said, Mom, you don't have to worry about anything
inside the house. She had a guy that worked for
that did landscaping. I said, do you want to do
the outside and put box shruved around the house. So
I kept her out of the house. And she didn't
(39:08):
like it at all, and for the rest of her life.
She lived for three more years. She drive a big
Lincoln and had a big plate glass window there. I
never closed the drapes. I didn't have to. I didn't
get dressed there. It was a living room and she's
looking their see if the fam was still there.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Fan was kind of symbolic.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
I guess, well, if somebody is encroaching on your turf,
if somebody is being codependent with you, if they're violating
your space, find out where the fan is.

because what you don't know can't hurt you, what what
point of your life did your mother past? How old
(40:06):
were you or what time was it I was or
what were you in life? Is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
It was forty eight and I was doing I was
working State.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I was.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
Working at the working at Transportation, which was a big mistake.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
I didn't as long as I've known it, I didn't
know that you worked at WAS. I had Brent Walker job, okay,
and now I didn't know that. And then Sam Banasso
needed to get confirmed. And as soon as I got
him confirmed, I was out of there and I went back.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Up to.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
Up on the hill to another the other radio things
down the dial right, and I worked there for about
a year and then they decided they were going to
change things.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
But here you are still on the radio.
Speaker 9 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I like the radio.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Well you're good at it.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
Well, I like it. I mean, I like radio. I
like listening to it.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
You know, there was a I don't know if you
caught it, but over the weekend, I think it was
on Saturday on the CBS Sunday Morning News. I just
happen to have it on on that channel, and they
were talking about the resurgence of radio, and I told
my wife and so I got to watch it and
it was all about serious satellite though, which is still.
(41:31):
I mean, like I'm a serious satellite subscriber mainly when
I drove a lot.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
But it does it doesn't not do this well, it's
you know, it does not do this though.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Agree, I mean, they're still and.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
I use it when I'm traveling, when I'm on the road.
I don't use it in town here. Yeah. But also
forget serious or radio. What about all the podcasts that
are out there.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah, there's there's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot of
podcasts out there right now. They're really really there, but
they're I mean, look, people have been saying for years
that radio was was dying, and it's not. What is
changing is what has been changing over the last twenty
years is the way that people consume radio. You know,
(42:18):
I mean shows like this, you know, whether it's news
or sports or whatever. You know, half your listeners aren't
listening live, they're listening later.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
That's why it's so important that you have an online presence.
Speaker 12 (42:29):
And this I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Yeah, yeah, probably fifty percent. I don't base that on
anything other than just talking to people. Fifty percent of
the people that listen to the show don't listen to
it live. They're listening to it later. I've got people
that say, I listen to your show in the evening
when I'm working out, I listen to whatever. And the
way that people are actually listening to when they do
listen live, they're listening on apps. They're listening, you know,
(42:52):
on their iPad or you know. But there's something to
be said for radio. I had to ask you one
thing before we go to break here. I just let
me feel the bucket. I had not seen the book
at all till you brought it in to me this morning.
Thank you for the autograph, by the way, and I'm
looking through it here, and you had it was this
a I guess a poster or some sort of an
advertisement when you run for office? And said, the stud
(43:14):
with handcuffs? No, no, no, that was that was a
calendar that okay, the stud with handcuffs. Kenny Bath was
in that calendar. Okay.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
We had a MI was mister June, and I had
my Cadillac. I had my seventy eight Cadillac, and I
was there with my short and my Panama had on
and I was a shirt and some I think I
had a pistol with a whole stirs and handcuffs and
(43:43):
it was it was a joke.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Okay, I'm gonna say you didn't seriously refer to yourself
as a stud with handcuffs?
Speaker 6 (43:49):
Did they did?
Speaker 8 (43:49):
I did?
Speaker 9 (43:51):

Welcome back to the show. It seven, but it's away
from ten, text says Dave. I listened to Mayor Danny
and Pete Thaw every morning as I was on the road.
Always enjoyed his program. Thanks, I can hear you fine.
You know we're not taking phone calls at all. I
got it, Okay, all right, all right, all right? So
(46:38):
what about that? The text had listened to Mayor Danny
Pete Thaw every morning as I was on the road,
always enjoyed the program.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Yeah, Pete would be on with me. He's right, out
of the school board. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
But I didn't know mister Thal but I remember reading.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
The well Pete was at one time he was a
big Democrat. He was into the Rockefeller campaign in seventy
two and seventy six, and then you got to be
friends with Governor Moore, and Governor Moore gave him that
(47:14):
job at the at the racetrack and then guests and
got the job and cut his salary in half. Maybe
he's trying to get rid of him. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
So the book is officially out now, came out what Thursday,
Friday last week? Okay, And it's available out Taylor Books, right, yes,

guess wherever you know you purchase books, right, I mean Taylor,

Speaker 6 (47:42):
Is it okay for right now?
Speaker 4 (47:43):
Right now? And we had somebody to ask about an
e book, and you know you explained that that once
before that. You just think because you'd want to have
all these people, you know, it would involve too many
voices in your opinion.
Speaker 6 (47:55):
I just don't see that happening. This is a local book.
This is not a book somebody and the only person
in Denver, Colorado is going to read it. Harry MacLean,
And that's the guy who wrote in the Borah Daylight,
the book about Skidmore. He's actually read a unedited copy
(48:17):
of it. He's already read it. But I'm going to
send him a book and uh and see what he thinks,
and you know, see what possibilities it has. But he
was really he was really stymmied by the fact that
(48:38):
I went from and you'll read about had called riding
high from then until being chaff of the county. How
could you go from one to the other, you know?
And that's when I worked at the Daniel Boone's the
best job ever had in my life. It is what
I questioned, the best job I ever had in my life.
(49:00):
Now I couldn't have kept it because number one, they closed.
But number two, it's a job for a young man.
It's not a job for an older guy, you know.
And I lived there, I ate there, I drank there,
I did everything there.

Two o'clock this Saturday. Yeah, you and you were actually
I think concerned when I had you on before that
no one wanted the book, Danny. This is all anybody
has been talking about to me, uh for the last
I mean today's talking to a friend of mine who
I have a coffee with on on Monday mornings, and uh,
he said, is Danny's book out yet? And I said,
(50:11):
I'll have it and uh, and we'll make sure that
you get copies. Well, people, people are interested in that.
Speaker 6 (50:15):
It would have been I'm glad Charlie did it because
if I'd have done, it had been a lot darker
because with me, there's I mean, I'm pretty transparent. And
are you sure you want to put that in there. No,
maybe I.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Should yeh know, well, it's good I think sometimes to
have a have that friend, you know, somebody a buffer,
somebody that is well, Robby shouldn't do that.
Speaker 6 (50:41):
But it was his idea, uh huh, that to write
the book. You mean yeah, I mean he called me.
You know, he'd done those two bucks on the Clark
murderer and on the house I grew up in. And
he thinks it's kind of neat that I'm the only
four term mayor in Charleston's history. I don't know if
this mayor is gonna do it. I know he's going
to do three terms. I told her, I said, do
(51:05):
seven terms. Just make sure you want to be there,
because my last term I shouldn't have been there.
Speaker 4 (51:13):
I mean, what do you say that.
Speaker 6 (51:14):
I was just tired of it, and you could tell it.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
We got to close it out here. But what was
it you were tired of? I know, the whole thing
with Needles really took a lot out of it. Oh
and you spent a lot of time talking about it
in the book, But go ahead.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
Yeah, the needles. And of course we did the convention center,
but a lot of the people that worked there and
the council turned on me. People that worked there, a
lot of them, it shouldn't have been, were disloyal and
(51:47):
and the higher, the higher they got paid, the worse
it was. And I'm just I was glad to get
out of there.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
I really was.
Speaker 4 (51:57):
The book is out now. It's called Call Me Dan,
Danny Jones with Charles Charlie, Ryan Street Kid The Power Broker.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
