Speaker 7 (02:14):
Thanks for having me, sir.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well, and I'm gonna go ahead. I didn't tell you
this ahead of time. We're joined in studio by Steve
Animal from ninety eight to seven the Mountain.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
That's always a lively event.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, so you know, we normally run a delay, you know,
on the show anyway, and Ryan, our producers, so should
I run double delay today? Said yes, I'm.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Running live from my classroom. So I got I got
seven kids sitting here listening in on our interview today.

Speaker 8 (02:40):
All right, we're family.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Calm down, then, Steve, all right, two days away, mister
Rucker from one of Saint Albans premiere events, is gonna
be a whole lot of people. Their weather is going
to be absolutely fantastic. Talk about where the proceeds go
and just talk about the day in general.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
Proceeds are all sat all with Police Department Canine Unit
Bonnie and the dog and the unit itself is where
all of it initiated, and that's where our funds all
started from the beginning, we've branched out and grown a
little bit over the years. So now we're looking into
assistant youth and education programs within Saint Albans Star Club

(03:20):
Project graduations, you know, things that the schools need, the
students need. Trying to fill in those voids and help
out theirs as we can make sure that we have
a safe community and educated youth coming up and a
good future to lead our community in the years to come.
And moving forward, the day itself again a whole lot

(03:41):
of community coming together, building and with the whole purpose
of giving back out to exactly what we just mentioned.
But we do that by Chili Chili, Chilly Chili all
over down the street, up the street, Fall Beest type
of events attraction. The music will be there. We have
live starts at twelve thirty. At twelve o'clock we kick

(04:02):
off Mastery on Main Street where we recognize all of
our kids who achieve Mastery on the standardized testing. At
twelve thirty we have the heavy Hitter State State. At
two o'clock Anderson road Band, and at four o'clock is
the Groove Brothers who are an Alman Brothers tribute band,
so very much a funk style music that'll be playing

(04:22):
on Main Street lively, very much enjoyable, food vendors, all
the fun.

Speaker 8 (04:28):
Yeah, it'll be a riot too. And you like beer,
you don't like I do. They'll be craft beer vendors,
all sorts of vendors on the street. Steven Keith, the
food Guy, one of our judges for the Chili Cookoff.
If you are cooking five hundred bucks first place, which
is pretty awesome, second place three hundred, third place two hundred,

(04:50):
and the People's Choice award will also happen of course,
ninety eight seven the Mountain. We'll be there, and I
believe Diamond, Dave and Lan all his hair will be there,
just not in your food.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
So yeah, looking forward to it, kind of avoid that,
wouldn't miss it. And if somebody is listening right now,
David and they are not a chili person, there's all
kinds of other food there too, right.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Yeah, we have we have other food vendors that will
be out on the street as well, just your regular
type of food, truck style foods, and then we also
have a ton of That's the other thing I love
about this organization in this event it allows For example,
Hayes Volleyball will be out there, Saint Albans Youth Football,
Saint Alban's High School football, all these organizations will be

(05:35):
out there doing their own little fundraisers, but contributing to
our big event fundraiser. So they'll be out there with
all the false flavors and those tastes, you know, Pepperoni
rolls of course, but I think we got a few
grilled cheese vendors out there. Who doesn't like a grilled
cheese with their pottages? So yeah, there'll be food galore
and stuff for kids. We got have some some attractions

(05:58):
going on for them as well. It'll be a full
family event all the way up and down the street.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
It always is, and it's always great because it's right
there on Old Main. And I'm I'm legitimately saying, I mean,
at any given time, especially with the weather as nice
as it's going to be, Marshall's off this weekend. WVU
plays on Friday night, so that that kind of worked
out in your favor a little bit. I mean, there's
legitimately five hundred thousand people there, I mean legit, Steve
would do we agree with that?

Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, it's going to be a packed street and if
you're looking for some fun, just get out. The weather's
going to be fabulous for the next five days. Saturday
is going to be no exception. And Saint Albans actually
offers a lot of other things for you to eat aresa.
You know, we've got the Cafe, We've got Drummis, we
have Shuckers, we have the Tap, we have Cole River Coffee,
and we have Cosmeo Mexican restaurant, just some of the

(06:45):
restaurants that are right there in the region.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
So, yeah, a lot of good stuff. Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Day shut down during these will be enjoyable as well.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Yeah, that's a and so again, if chili is not
your thing, you can you can dump in over to
talk to Guy and the folks at Shuckers. Get some
of those crab stuff mushrooms, go to the cafe and
get you or get your wings dipped and grilled, which
is the way to get them there at the Camfeg.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
And I'll be on tour on the street, so if
you'd like to buy me a drink and all of
these establish it, I'll be more than happy to join you.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Yeah, he's easy that way. The Dave Island showing five
Adylive is broad to you part by Morgan and Morgan
with more than twenty billion dollars recovered. They believe that
when you're injured, you deserve more. Morgan to Morgan, America's
the largest injury law firm. All right now, if people
want to enter the chili contest, is is it too
late for that day?

Speaker 7 (07:34):
Well, if they are a chili cooker only, I would
still find a spot. Our street is pretty full right now.
But if you're cooking chili, I'll always find room to
put a chili cooker somewhere on the street. We'll fit
you in. We'll make the space because we're always looking
for that. If you do want to register for a
chili cooker so, you can go to fall y'all Chili
Cookoff dot com or Saint Albans Fallyall Festival Chili Cookoff

(07:58):
on Facebook and you can get to the link through
there that will take you to the registration. Like I said,
chili only. And also let me point out if you
want to be a People's choice judge, you know when
you come and taste the chili, it's one dollar a
ticket to taste of each vendor one dollar per vendor.

(08:19):
If you pay ten dollars, you'll get twelve tickets and
you'll get two chips and the opportunity to be the
judge one of the people's choice judges. You drop the
chip in whichever one you like and you vote for
them as your faith. So you can also have fun
in the judging aspect while walking the street as well.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
And let me tell you, take the people that enter
the actual competition, they take this very seriously. And I
got an opportunity last year to be a judge or
a few of us. And I like the fact too
that you have different judges every year. You mentioned Steven
keep the food guy or Buddy from the Gazette Mail
is going to be there. One of my favorite people
in the world, Merrily mccaulliffe from WWKTV thirteen is going
to be there. Who are the other judges?

Speaker 7 (08:58):
We got Walt Hall will beaudging with this. We've got
Rob Real, we'll be judging with our man Yeah, and
a guest citizen judge, and also Saint Alban's High School principal,
Jerk the Swingo will be one of our judges as well.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Nice and I'm gonna be uh. I volunteer to help
with the judging, and the reason I explained this on
the air a couple of days ago, David. One of
the reasons I volunteered to do that is because as
the judge, you know, and I'll judge a lot of
chili competitions, you only get you know, one, one or
two bites and then they just put it aside. Well,
somebody is going to have to do something, uh with

(09:35):
that other extra with the extra chili there. So I mean,
I'm I'm there, I'm there for it.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
Okay, Well I might we can maybe share, okay, dodging.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
I don't share well, but.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
We can try. I'll try. I'm teaching my children how
to share, so we'll make an effort at share in
a little bit.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Of chili keep them away from animal. Then, hey, Dave,
I appreciate you would taking time out of your schedule
to call us up about the event and give us
the rundown again where people can learn.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
More at fall Y'all Chili Cookoff dot com or Saint
Albans fall Y'all Chili Cookoff or St. Alban's fall Y'all
Festival Chili Cookoff on Facebook.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
And again if people just want to come out and
just hang out, just to come on the streets of
Saint Albans. I mean, we're trying to raise a little
money for the canine unit there of the Saint Albans
Police Department, but just to come out on the street.
It's free, just to come hang out, hang out and
check out the music.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
Yep, environment music, the great great sights and all going on.
Enjoy community, family, friends, come on out joint.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
All right, Hey, Dave, we'll let you get back to it.
I appreciate you being here. Man, Thanks a lot.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
Thank kid.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
All right, it is nine seventeen. We've got to get
him back there to educating those young minds.

Speaker 8 (10:50):
So but terrible waste.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
But yeah, because you're end up in radio so like
Steve and I. But but we have a good time
at these events. And again, I know you're very you're
mister Saint Albans, very ingrained in the community.

Speaker 8 (11:01):
How long have you been in Sant Albans September seventeenth,
thirty five years. I thought i'd be here a year,
and here here I am.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Here you are.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
What what do you enjoy about Saint Albans so much?
It's off the Beaten Path a little bit. You know,
it's not easy access to get to the interstate. And
I say that, but it's you know, you're five minutes away.
You go over the bridge, you go down through Nitro Institute,
you hop on and boom. I leave Saint Albans and
coming to Charleston daily orgo back and forth. It's about
a twelve to fifteen minute ride.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yah.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Get to listen to some music and you know, you
know there's a microphone in front of you, right, Have
you ever been behind behind a microphone before a text?
Because you are so ingrained the community. Before we let
you go, there was a text here and I wanted
to ask you about this because you're mister Saint Albans.
Somebody asking why more events aren't held at the Saint
Albans Mall lot.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
I believe that's due to the ownership of the mall lot,
so they don't necessarily the liability, the insurance and other
things that would be nice if they were more community oriented,
but you know they choose not to have that issue
on their.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Lot, right, And I mean, and I don't know the
situation that sounds logical from what you're saying there, but
there is a big liability when you have events like this,
and sometimes cities you know, can can I mean, you know,
when you have it downtown, it's a little bit more
manageable for the cities. But I mean it's a good point,
would be a good a good place to do something
they had.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
In the past. I think years ago when I first
got here, I was in the dunk tank for the
Saint Albans Police Department fundraiser and they did have it
like on the Kroger side lot back when right Aid
was there back in the day. But I just think,
you know, for manageability, it's private properties.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Right And one of the things I like about what
David said is that the businesses we mentioned, the coffee
shop and the cafe and Chucker, they're all going to
be open their normal hours and so you got that
many people there. Eventually people are going to go in
and they're going to go into some of those establishments
and you know, grab some other stuff maybe that's not
on the street or whatever. Relax a little bit. So

(13:00):
hats off to them, because sometimes businesses don't want to
open during those events, but most of most are open.
Most of them are I.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
Mean it's really a neat Main Street there. A lot
of things have reopened, so come check it out Saturday.
It's gonna be a great day to get out in
a bout.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah, all right, get a plug in for tonight. You're
going to be downtown at five Street.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
Right, yes, five Street brewing right there on the corners
of Fife and Summer across from city Center. There's live
music out there this evening. Of course, the weather's going
to be great, so you can sit outside. Come hungry.
I'll have Mountain merch. We'll have some gift certificates to
give away, flowers from our flowers and dunbar and just
a good time. Maybe you don't want to go to
work tomorrow, join me. I will make sure that happens.

(13:38):
But you have to be on the air tomorrow morning
at six. You know, realize that shut.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Your dirty mouth. Steve Animal from ninety eight to seven
a mountain and again we are going to be there,
myself an Animal, and we more than likely Shockley is
going to be there. He just kind of shows up
wherever we are. Shock Shockley and his hair will be
there as well. Will be on the streets of Saint
Albans for fall, y'all, It's not going to really feel
that much like fall, but it's okay because it beats
the alternative in here in a couple of months when
we've got snow and sleet and locusts and petulants and

(14:05):
you know whatever. So what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (14:07):

Good morning and welcome to the show.

Speaker 14 (17:09):
Hi Dave, thank you. As always, it's for.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
Something you've been in the new digs here it is.

Speaker 14 (17:13):
This is super fancy. I love what you've done with
the place.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I wish I could take credit for it, but I
held the door open once when they were hoping when
bringing some stuff in there.

Speaker 14 (17:22):
Is helpful as I.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
That's pretty much the extent of it, all right, So
you know we have I'll always have fun on the show,
but sometimes you have to get serious for just a
little bit. So this will be some of this segment
talk about the issue with domestic violence in America.

Speaker 14 (17:35):
So domestic violence, we are all of the folks in
domestic violence are really struggling right now. We're seeing cut
to all of our funding across the board. So now
we need folks support really more than ever. The victims

(17:55):
need that. We want to be able to provide seamless
services and everything that we've always done, and we're seeing
the numbers stay about the same, if not increase, but
with less funding than we've ever had. So it's really
really difficult and we're trying to continue to do what

(18:17):
we do, and what we do we do really well,
and we want to be able to continue that. So
we're seeing more and more folks that are one pay
check away from losing housing that we have helped stabilize
in the past. We're seeing more folks here in Kanall County.

(18:39):
We get ten percent of the state's domestic violence petitions,
so we have advocates right there frontline that are busier
than they've ever been. I wish I had to say
there were positive changes. We're not really seeing that. But
we're still out there continuing to bring awareness and do

(19:01):
the best we can to serve everyone that needs us.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
And that's what this month is about. Because the show
several times in the past, you've talked about the different
programs that you offered. We'll talk about the funding for
a moment, and I know we want to be you know,
we want to want to do this the right way.
But but you said, you know your funds are are
are dwindling or going down a little bit wise.

Speaker 14 (19:22):
Though, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
So.

Speaker 14 (19:26):
We're just seeing changes under the current government, I guess,
especially in some of the funds that we receive are
commingled in with funds that are considered for our un
housed neighbors. And I guess what folks sometimes don't realize

(19:48):
is many of the folks that we serve through with
domestic violence, they are homeless. They have left their house
for their own safety. So when we he cuts to
homeless services, that affects us as well. So you know,
we've had news recently that we're looking at about a

(20:11):
nine hundred thousand dollars cut in the state for services
for homeless services, but that also affects us and that's
funding that we use to stabilize sixty families. So that's
what that means is without that funding, those folks that

(20:34):
move out of shelter. We are so proud of ourselves
that we've been able to move folks from shelter into
their own permanent housing and a year after our assistance ends,
eighty three percent of those are still in their houses.
So if that funding goes away, that next step for
when folks leave shelter is completely gone.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Yeah, because the shelter was never designed to stay there permit.

Speaker 14 (20:59):
That's an emerge see right, And so what that means
is without that funding, folks are in our shelter for
so much longer. Which means it's harder to get in.
So it just has a trickle down effect of one
small thing affects the bigger hole, and so there are

(21:19):
some unintended consequences for some of these some funding.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, I'm talking to Julie Britton again from the HYEWCA
Result program nine twenty eight at Dave Island Show on
five Any Live. Brought to you imparted by Pinnacle Consultants.
They're lead paint Inspection and risk Assessment services designed to
identify to assess the presence of lead based paints and
buildings and other structures using a three phase approach of inspection, sampling,
the lab analysis, and an assessment report. Checkout Pinnacle cort
dot net. Because what you don't know can't hurt you.

(21:46):
You mentioned something there that I thought was interesting, and
I think sometimes we forget, you know, we all get
in our head, you know what domestic violence is, or
who the victims are or in some cases who the
perpetrators are. The right we have, we have this image.
We forget sometimes how families are involved in domestic violence.
It's just not about the lady or the man, because

(22:07):
it does go both ways. And we'll talk about that
and just in a bit, but it's not There are
others many many times, but probably the majority of your cases,
there's more than just that person involved.

Speaker 14 (22:19):
Right, absolutely. We see we've actually seen more kids and
families this year than in my eight years at the
WHY through shelter. So we're talking about families that have
left their house with absolutely nothing and we're that safety

(22:40):
net and it really does it effects. So then you're
talking the effects on the school system, getting kids into
the schools where they their homeschools and than just trying
to stabilize them. Especially if you have a large family,

(23:02):
finding housing is always an issue.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
So well, yeah, there's so many things that go along
with that. There's pets involved sometimes, you know, you've got
I mean, oh absolutely, I mean I'm an animal person
and you know me too. My animals are are are
the are part of the family, and so to go
somewhere that I can't take the animals, so right, yes, and.

Speaker 14 (23:20):
That that's the thing as well. You know we're seeing
one bedroom apartments renting for one thousand dollars and no
pets allowed. That's it's a big hurdle that that we
face every day.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
What's the biggest misconception about domestic violence because I said
to you earlier that we forget sometimes men are also
victims of this. What's some of the some of the
biggest misconceptions.

Speaker 14 (23:42):
You say that it only happens to folks that don't
have money, and I guess the biggest conception, Well, the
biggest thing I wish that people would stop saying is
why doesn't she just leave? Because it's so incredibly difficult.

(24:03):
I think when you understand, asking someone to leave means
asking them to give up their home, oftentimes their pets.
Knowing that moving their kids from what some folks use
as stable home to a shelter, it's going to be
a huge red flag for let's say CPS, the school system.

(24:29):
There are so many questions that are issues that go
along with why didn't she just leave? You know, it's
also victim blaming, but that's that's one. And then also
believing that once they have left that everything's just magically better.

(24:49):
It's usually not. Things get much worse before they get better,
so that sometimes just leave isn't really helpful. Absolutely need
to have a plan unless they're escaping in the moment.
This is a plan. You need to know where you're
gonna go that you have resources so many things.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Talking again with Julie Britain the Dave Alan Show on
five any Live is brought to you bart by a
Live Healthy West Virginia presented by WVU Medicine podcast. It
is promoting healthier lifestyle is going to be on the stay.
Check out our latest episodes wv metronews dot com and
of the podcast menu and Julie. Sometimes there can be
a stigma, Oh yeah, with the person that leaves. I mean,
because there's always in any kind of a domestic situation,

(25:35):
you know, he said, she said, you know, and one
person's got one story and one person's got another. But
there's always a stigma how could this person, how could
he or she just up and leave their home? And
as you said, victim victim shaming and things like that.

Speaker 14 (25:50):
Yes, absolutely, I think it's important to remember that not
only does the perpetrator groom as victim, everyone around them,
you know, they're they're usually the great person that you
work with. It's super helpful, and that's on purpose. So
when it does come to light what's happened in the house,

(26:12):
it makes it so easy to question, like, oh, no,
I know them they're amazing. I used to work with them.
They were, you know, the best coworker ever had. Or
that's my uncle. He's always very sweet. You may have
that relationship with them, but you're not their partner, and
that's a totally different.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Nobody really what goes on behind closed down? Absolutely, and
you see the public image. And I also thought it
was interesting that you said it's not a class thing
and it's not a money thing talking to absolutely.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Not, no, no.

Speaker 14 (26:45):
And I think that folks assume that just because someone
has access or their perpetrator has access to money, that
the victim also has that same access to money, and
that's usually not the case at all. There is so
much financial abuse of involved in all of this, and
I think when we really dig down to the bottom

(27:08):
of the why didn't she just leave? Many many times
it's financial and it's a matter of how am I
going to recreate this level of living for my kids?
And folks get shamed for that as well, like when

(27:30):
you leave. That's it's a tough space because yeah, there's
a lot to think about.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Let's talk about the rest of the month of October.

Speaker 14 (27:40):
Yes goes, Oh my gosh, we have amazing things happening.
So one of the big things is Dave. I am
making my stage debut uh huh with the Contemporary Youth
Arts Company. It's a play called Why We Stayed, and
it's about the forgotten victims of domestic violence. It is

(28:03):
If people talk about wanting to support us, this is
the way to do it. There is no ticket price,
although we are asking for donations.

Speaker 13 (28:14):
It is.

Speaker 14 (28:16):
So amazing. It talks about domestic violence from so many
different perspectives, from the CPS worker to the nurse who
is seeing a victim again and again and again, to
law enforcement, kids in the house. And it's called Why
We Stayed. And it's at the Cyac Playhouse on the

(28:43):
West Side over in Elk City and it starts October tenth,
so it's the tenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth, and the twelfth
and the nineteenth. It's on our YWCA of Charleston facebook page.
I'd love for folks to come and see because we
often say you don't know what you don't know. But
these stories. Dan Katie is the playwright and they are

(29:07):
absolutely amazing. He met with some folks on the team
that I work with and developed these stories and they
are absolutely moving, and I thought, you know what, I
come each year that they've put this on. It was
part of festival last year, but this year I said,

(29:27):
you know what, let's put our money where well, let's
put our mouth where the money may be. And so
I have a very small role in this, but I
would love for folks to come and see what we
do there. We also have our at the end of
the month on the thirtieth or Honkin' Wave, where we
are crowning our Advocate of the Year and our Volunteers

(29:50):
of the Year. There are so many things we have
going on, partnerships with the West Side Health Right where
we're doing a panel discussion, and on the steps of
the Capital next week on the sixth, we are going
to have a shoe display for the victims of domestic violence,
so that will be incredibly moving. There is so much happening,

(30:15):
and folks can catch up with that on our Facebook page.
But we'd love to see you out. Everything is free
again the play we're asking for donations and I think
once you hear and see the stories, you know nothing's
too small At this point. You know, ten dollars we

(30:36):
take that and turn it into dog food for our
pets over at the refuge at Hope House. So we
just want people to know what we do and hear
all of those different perspectives.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
I did want to mention that Aaron Parker has a
story this morning post at Wvventurenews dot com that purplepin
wheels are lined up outside the Knaw County Public Safety
Building to bring awareness and that to prevent domestic violence
in conjunction with this. Absolutely, we got a great story
on the website about that, some comments from Knaw County

(31:07):
Prosecutor Deb Rusnik and others on the website.

Speaker 14 (31:10):
That's fabulous. And so those those are folks, the advocates
there with the Kanaw County Sheriff's Department and the Prosecutor's office,
they are amazing. They do amazing work and we couldn't
do what we do without them as well.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Where can people learn more about it? Because we've covered
a lot of ground today. Give me your social media websites.
What do you get?

Speaker 14 (31:34):
Absolutely, we've got YWCA of Charleston dot org. That's the
website and our Facebook page and our Instagram. Why there

a story this morning at wv metronews dot com. Now
a third a third woman has filed suit against the
Kanawha County bailiff. You know the story by now. Fifty

(38:03):
four year old cast Close was arrested in late July
after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her while
she was in custody, and then came a second lawsuit
in August, followed by another woman. Similar story there to
the first woman's story, and now a third woman has
come forward in this case. Now you can read the

(38:24):
exact allegations as part of Aaron Parker's story this morning.
It's supposed to at wv metronews dot com. Now the
bailiff Close was previously arraigned and his bond was set
one hundred thousand dollars. He's still locked up at South
Central programming notes tomorrow. Oh, actually not to one today.

(38:46):
I'm to have it a hard time with things today.
Words words are hard, Ryan, They're hard. State School Board
President Paul Hardesty will be the first guest with Wilson
Meadows on talk Line today at ten oh six, and
after his comment yesterday at the state school Board meeting.
You may want to tune in today. I know you will.

(39:07):
And let me say this about Paul Hardesty. I have
known Paul Hardesty my entire life. He's a good Logan
County boy. He can be very vocal, mainly because he's
a very large man, large in stature as in height.
He gave a speech during the state school Board meeting
yesterday morning and basically says school choice which he believes

(39:30):
in which he did reiterate he believes in school choice.
He said the school choice issue, though, is leading to
lower enrollment and historic rounds of public school consolidation. We've
seen many of them, as you'd well know here in
Kennaw County. And he said the state has lost thirty
five thousand students from public education his words now quote

(39:54):
all in the name of school choice, end quote. And
here's that's what I read into it. And we had
Brad mcelhaney on the show yesterday talking about it again,
mister Hardesty himself. We'll be on talk Line first guest
at ten oh sixth to day. I'm reading into it
he's putting a lot of the blame for this on
the legislature of which he used to be a member

(40:15):
of the legislature. And you can talk about charter schools,
you can talk about scholarship, et cetera, et cetera. And
if you go to the website and you read Brad's story,
Brad's actually included some of the audio. It was a
very impassioned speech for mister Hardesty, the head of the
school board yesterday. And Paul Hardesty is somebody who's been
around public education for a long time. He's a past

(40:36):
board member, pass board president of Logan County Schools. And again,
he's got a, I guess, a unique perspective because he
was a legislator at one time too. He has been
an in and around state government a lot of different
things in his career. And we kind of got an
idea that at the state school board meeting yesterday that
it was going to be a little fiery, And I

(40:57):
mean when I say fiery, I mean just from the
words of Paul Hartes. He basically just had a monologue
there yesterday and he's going to be on with Meadows
and Wilson at on talk Line coming up at ten
oh six this oney, So I know you definitely do
not want to miss that. Go to Metronews dot com
and you can read the story and then tune in

(41:17):
to Paul Hardesty Live. Now, I will say this, there
are some people, as you may expect, that have been
critical of Paul Hardnessey. One of those frequent guests of
the program Jason Huffman from Americans for Prosperity, and we're
going to have him on some future programs to talk
about that as a matter of fact. And I am
told that he is actually calling for hartnessey resignation. So

(41:38):
don't I can tell you right now that's not gonna happen.
That's not gonna happen anyway. Must listen to radio coming

or at Dave A seventy on x Tex says all
for the love of God, not one thing this morning
has been political, yet someone has to start running their
Trump painting trap about him. First thing, Donnie really is
living rent free in some people's heads. How pathetic. Get
a life, man, says a texture. And look, I have

(45:10):
said this before about the text of the show and
calls the show and so on and so forth. I
very rarely, I don't. I don't get upset about text
and some things them because people are giving their opinions. Man,
that's what it's all about. And and I appreciate the taking.
The ones I don't agree with, I appreciate. But but
it does seem that I will say this, and I

(45:31):
say this as not a Trump supporter. Okay, I voted
for the you know my story. I've told you before.
I voted for the guy twice, did not vote for him.
This past time because I thought he was dangerous to
the country. However, however, however, he's a president of the
United States and I respect the office, and so I
want I want President Trump to do well. And I

(45:53):
will say this too, I do think that Trump deringement.
I just made up a word. Derangement syndrome is a
real thing, I really really do. And it looks. Look,
the President gives us all calls every now and then
to shake our head with the things untruth social and
so on and so forth. But I do think that
sometimes I'm just just saying. I think sometimes people, what's

(46:16):
the current term, I think they need to go out
and touch a little grass every now and then. Not
that kind. Well that's what it takes to relax. Then
go ahead, I'm talking about the kind it's in your yard.
Just relax a little bit. And it doesn't always have
to be political. We don't always have to talk. I mean,
and it's not just here. I mean there are people
here in the Kanaw Valley that if you go to

(46:38):
any news source, whether it's our station, whether it's the
TV station's exect mail anything, every comment that they make
one person in particular, I mean, I see I don't
even know the person, but I see them all the time.
No matter what you're talking about. There's five comments that
are anti Trump. Afterwards it's a spelling be at, you know,

(47:01):
at an elementary school, but they comment with things about
Trump like, uh yeah, just just just thinking, you know,
just just just chill out a little bit, all right.
And that's kind of ironical. Speaking of words I make
up from time to time. There's a story behind ironical
why I use it. But anyway, and I'm going to

(47:22):
file this one Ryan, you'll appreciate this. Uh, I'm going
to file this in the things that only matter to
people like me. The old the older I get, the
more that certain things bother me. Now I don't let it,
I don't let it fester, but just occasionally it bothers me.

(47:45):
One of those is people, and I've talked about this
on the show before, posted on the social media, people
who talk on speaker phones or do FaceTime in public.
It's like I'm at Kroger, I'm just trying to get
to the green beans, man. But we have to have
someone who feels the need to broadcast everything on speakerphone

(48:07):
or it's not just great in public or whatever. I
told the story in a big social media rant about
a year or so ago that my wife had a
medical appointment and I had to drive her to set.
Appointment had to take off the show and I had
to drive her there. And we're in a waiting room
that's not even half the size of the studio I'm
setting in now, and some person in there felt the

(48:29):
need to talk on a speaker phone while they were
in there. I'm like, I just know this. If you
talk on a speakerphone or you're doing FaceTime around me,
I'm jumping in the conversation just so you know if
you're talking about so if you're talking trash about somebody,
I'm going to jump in and go, hey, you know,
you're right, you know, because if you do that around me,
that's what I'm going to do, just so you know.

(48:51):
But the thing I wanted to get to this morning,
and I don't know why these things bother me from
time to time, the un needed shortening of words. Yesterday
Metro News Hotline and I don't remember whether it was
Inner Out or Question of the Day, but it's one

(49:11):
of the things on X that the Weekly does. He
talked about this new menu item at Wendy's, and it's
kind of a Chicken Tenders kind of thing, and they're
calling them Tendy's because you know, tenders took way too
long to say or spell, apparently, And this is from

(49:34):
the same school of thought of referring to chicken nuggets
as nugs or God forbid nuggies. It absolutely drives me crazy.
And I don't know why, it just does. I can

(49:55):
give you a few more in the world of sports,
of which I'm a sports fanatic. Sorry, I don't have
better news about my Cincinnati Reds, but nobody thought we'd
make the playoffs anyway. ESPN says we have a selli
now instead of a celebration. Check out the selli. And

(50:18):
when do we do the selly, We do it after
the tutty meaning touchdown. Please stop. Oh and by the way,
perfect is now PERF family is now fam. And again,
it just drives old people like me crazy. And maybe

(50:42):
I should take the advice that I gave people that
text the show about Trump and it's just relaxed and
just go outside and touch a little touch a little
grass or something. Knock out a couple of texts here,
check said the only deranged people are people who voted
for Trump and his bleep show says A texture text.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Says uh Dave.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Our country is in a constitutional crisis. We're about to
lose all of our freedoms. We the people need to
stand tall. It's a texture tex says uh Dave. What
about these made up words like unalive?

Speaker 7 (51:17):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (51:19):
Dead?

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Well, I can tell you unalive came from because and
when you use it as the first time I saw
unalive was used as a verb instead of kill because
Facebook and other social media sites are very very sensitive
about certain words, so it unalives me when people do that.
You can't stay kill on social media. DJ Meadows is here,

(51:41):
do I just need to just stop trying, stop trying
to be so perf I'm gonna get you going on
this one.

Speaker 20 (51:49):
You know, for years, for years, we were worried that
foreigners would come here and they would totally kill the
English language. We would end up speaking I don't know,
some other languae. Trent doing a pretty good job from
what I can tell based on what you just shared,
of killing the language in and of ourselves.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
A tutty instead of a touch tudy, a selly instead
of a celebration who comes up with this stuff?

Speaker 20 (52:13):
Somebody, the kids, I mean, somebody's sitting around saying, hey,
that tested well, let's let's make it a tuddy man
a tutty stuff.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
It's perf it's anyway.

Speaker 20 (52:22):
I'm always scared when I hear this stuff because I
don't know what it means, and if I repeat it,
I may be saying something that I'm not supposed to say.

Speaker 5 (52:30):
To be fair, we got to close to be fair.
This is really not something new. The Internet has kind
of taken it to another level. But uh, I mean,
somebody at one point had to stay bad meaning good,
you know, and that goes back generations. Give me a
TD all right, TEXTL says, excellent, cloud yelling day. That's
what I do, all right, I've already I've already previewed
the show for good for you with mister Hardist to
give it up a ten or six. I'll see stick
