Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the program. It's great to connect with you guys through the water cooler of content and conversation. Phone is buzzing. I'm excited to connect with you guys on the last show of the week. There is a lot I want to cover on the broadcast today. I want to talk about the Athletic Department at the University of Virginia operating at a $7 million deficit in 2020. Now, if football and basketball, men's basketball,

continue trending in the right direction, you can see that gap close quickly. But right now it's in 2025 operating in the red. We'll talk about that on the program right now. I want to talk on the show today. The Alamaro County child sex scandal that's rocked our community and what needs to happen for sizable and tangible change

to take place. And sizable and tangible change is not Matthew Haas' resignation. That's minuscule. Matthew Haas absolutely has accountability and all this. He's the superintendent, the highest paid guy in the school system. Matthew Haas has also been made a fall guy here. There was culpability and accountability across many different positions within Amaral County's public school system.

Matthew Haas, when it's all said and done, will be the fall guy. and perhaps he should, he's the superintendent. For sizable, tangible, and real change to materialize, it's going to happen at the voter booth. If you continue to have a county dominated by one party, that party will always take care of its own. And you saw this with the school board members circling the wagons around Judy Lee,

around Rebecca Berlin, the school board members circling the ragons around Haas's interim replacement, Dr. Chandra Hayes, who's Haas' lieutenant. I want to talk sizable, tangible, real-life change in Almorough County with this sex scandal, child sex scandal, the worst kind of sex scandal, as maybe the driving force. I also want to talk on today's show, the triple-digit heat that's in the forehast. We've had a nice run of extremely pleasant temperatures over the last week. If you look at the forecast, heat is going to get back to that triple digit, the feels-like temperature, and the very near future. You can make an argument. I'll ask Judah Wickhauer to maybe make the argument that tent town under Freebridge.

The most dangerous for that homeless encampment is right now with triple-digit heat. We'll talk on the program, the report that's out there that the Charlottesville area is the least affordable housing market and all of the Commonwealth. You heard me correctly. The Charlottesville area, the least affordable housing market in all of the Commonwealth. The drip bar on Water Street is for sale.

I'll give you some of those particulars. Remember, this is the drip bar that had a, would you call it a raid at Judah? Yeah, I think so. A federal raid about a month ago. Not much has been, you know, materialized or at least the investigations of roots or its foundation why the feds rated the drip bar on on water street we

don't know all those details but now we know listed this week the drip bar on water street is now for sale with an asking price of $325,000. I'll talk about that on the program today. A lot I want to cover on the broadcast guys and I encourage you the viewer and listener to shape the show and share the show. We'll highlight Hugo the beloved and like a and, you know, jovial big man from the University of Virginia, now with the Detroit Pistons at the National Basketball Association. How about that tough loss for Team USA? My son and I stayed up.

I stayed up. My son fell asleep. Against Turkey, the last game of the group stage. Some call it a meaningless game. I'm not one of those meaningless mindset individuals. Anytime you step foot on a court, a field, a pitch, you play to win. And I understand a lot of reserves we're playing last night with Team USA, but still they represented America in our country.

Nothing is meaningless in a World Cup stage, ladies and gentlemen. Jason Hampshire is watching the program. Carol Thorpe is watching the program. Logan and Wells Claylow, Hank Martin, all watching the program. Vanessa Park Hill watching the program. Do us the favor, viewers, and listeners of liking and sharing the show. The only thing we ask in return is you like and share the show. I want to give some attention to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply,

Judah, 62 years in business. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, John Vermillion, and Andrew Vermillion, have proudly served our community in communicative, honest, and knowledgeable capacities at Charlottesville Sanitary Supply on East High Street. They have an e-commerce store where everything and anything is purchasable online and delivery is free within market on your doorstep oftentimes the same day. Charlestville Sanitary Supply has a sister company called Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company that is your first contact for anything swimming related, including water testing,

including pool covers, pool shade, and pool construction. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company. Judah, two-shot, first studio camera, then a two-shot as we weave you in. Last show of the week, today's payday. It's your favorite day of the week, payday. Headline that most intrigued you and why, Judah Wickhauer. I'm going to go with the political action response of hopefully Republicans and independence, as you mentioned,

that they would start getting involved. And not just in the school board, as we've seen over the last few years, with Meg Bryce and Jim Dylan Beck. but also with the Board of Supervisors. Board of Supervisors is dominated by Democrats. Yeah, and it's not even... School boards dominated by Democrats. It's not even that we dislike Democrats

or prefer what... But what we need in our area is... What would you call it? Diversity of thought? Yeah, diversity of thought. Different ideas, different pushback. If somebody has an idea, we want someone to push back on it Until it's not just an okay idea, it's something that could potentially be a great idea.

That's what diversity of thought helps to produce. Judah Wickhauer on point today. Two headlines we can rotate on screen. You've had time to reflect on it. Matthew Haas, his resignation and his payday, like $250, $260,000, $270,000. Is this enough? No, it's definitely not enough. Has he strictly been made into a fall guy?

He's 100% the fall guy. In fact, I don't even think it's his fault that any of this happened. While he is the top dog and the buck stops somewhere, we don't know how much he was apprised of any of this. I can't imagine that all of these reports went straight to him. I have to think that they went to places like the principal, the vice principal, We've talked about the potential of a messaging system for the school board.

Oh, the email. Yeah, we have a parent that has anonymously reached out to us, said she communicated with the school board through the school board email account. That trouble was abruing in Holly Mead. Yeah. And she's documented and papered that trail. We don't know who gets those emails. We don't know who reads them. We don't know if it's one school board member or all of the school board members.

For all we know, the first person that saw it promptly deleted it. So we just don't know who else is involved. But I 100% guarantee that Matthew Haas is playing the sacrificial lamb for the rest of the school. Forced to play the sacrificial lamb. Yeah. Made into the fall guy. Parents, is it enough? You see the story dying down.

know your parents. You see the story dying down viewers and listeners, don't you? You see the story dying down taxpayers, right? Matthew Haas forced to resign, school board asked for his resignation. They negotiated the exit. He gets paid. He cannot talk about it. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. The school board, very conveniently, also a non-disclosure agreement with this as well. They can't talk about Haas. And probably they'll utilize that non-disclosure agreement with Matthew Has and his resignation as a avenue to not really discuss this much further. I don't think the non-disclosure really matters. I mean, like, who really cares about Matthew Haas at this point? As I said, I don't think he, I don't think he's the, I don't

think he's the one that was disappearing, you know, messages about this or information about this. he may have been a silent observer. He may have been tacitly allowing a lot of this. But his farewell package doesn't matter in terms of getting information now after, you know, the fact of all, you know, at the point we're at now, what the information we need is who else is involved? Okay, so we're on the same page. You and I are on the same page. Joe McCauley had to know what was going on, the principal.

I'm shocked that the vice principal is not included in this as well. I'm shocked that Judy Lee, the school board representative, is not included in this. And I'm shocked that more attention has not been brought to a parent emailing us under the promise of us keeping her anonymity. protecting her anonymity, that an email was sent to the entire school board about what was happening at Holly Meade Elementary, and nothing was done. Okay. All those should continue to be in the conversation.

The next stage of this scandal is will it drive political engagement? We both hope we get diversity of thought from independence, from conservatives, libertarians, just an opposite, just an opposing. ideology to what is a democratic, controlled, and dominated Alamorrow County. Now, I'm going to play devil's advocate for the sake of a talk show. Are you ready? Who would want to run for school board? You're paid peanuts, indentured, servitude wage, and you are being run through the mud

on media platforms like ours about a sex scandal that you're so far away from. you're like, how would I know this was going on at Holly Meade Elementary? Like if you're Judy Lee, look at what Judy Lee has gone through, the Rybana District School Board member. She's the representative for this district. We're calling for her scalp here on the program. She's not in the schools. She's not a part of operation. There's hundreds of parents that are demanding the entire school board resign.

There's viewers and listeners. Hank Martin thinks the entire school board should resign, should resign. Forced to resign to quit. Who wants this job? I don't know about the whole school board, but certainly a microscopic look into their... Who wants this job? If you're an independent, if you're conservative, if you're a libertarian, you're already going to be land-baseded for running for any public office, whether it's the supervisors, whether it's

delegate, whether it's school board. Look at John McGuire. Now, some of the stuff John McGuire is going through, he brings on himself. John McGuire could have more town halls. Yeah. John McGuire is there's a counterpoint to that, but. Yeah, the counterpoint to that is why is it going to have town halls if he's going to be attacked? Yeah. He did a town hall at Steve Harvey's coffee shop, first free coffee, and there was more picketers outside the coffee shop than supporters inside the coffee shop. Yeah, people arguing for him to give more town halls are not arguing in good faith. When John McGuire came on our talk show, we're talking the fifth district congressman. We were told, I won't say by whom, not to promote that he was going to come

on the show for fear that there was going to be a couple dozen or a hundred or more people protesting outside the I Love Seville office. That might have been kind of fun. I didn't listen. I still promoted it. They weren't out here. I would have put the studio camera on them. Probably would have taken the mic off,

this mic arm off here, and gone outside and put them on camera. I bet you they would have hit in their faces and cover it up with some kind of bandana and refused to be on camera because that's how a lot of protesters are. They have the keyboard muscles. They're Bobby Big Balls.

I mean, I had appointed the camera out there. and just put it in the corner of the... Right. My point is this. McGuire's making $250,000, a quarter of a million dollars roughly, to serve as a United States congressman. At least he's compensated. Yeah.

Who would want... The school board member and the board of supervisor is paid peanuts. Why, if you're an independent, a conservative, a libertarian, or any ideology outside of the popular group, which in this case is Democratic, why would you consider running? I mean, oftentimes it's for love of the school system, love of the children. Look at Sarah Hill Buchensky.

She says, look at what Meg Bryce went through. She's exactly right. Meg Bryce, I hope she's watching the program. If not, I hope she hears this. Tremendous respect for her. Well-spoken, intelligent, experience, committed. I believe a mother of four. they scarlet lettered Meg Bryce.

I mean, they... That was, I would bet you if we asked her, and she was sincere. In fact, I should get Dr. Bryce back on the program again. They acted out the worst of humanity. I mean, there were slurs. There were painting across her... They graffield her signs. Yeah.

They created phony websites attacking her. Yeah. linked directly to Allison Spillman's campaign, and this was for effing school board. Why would somebody go through that? Why would anyone that's a parent go through that for fear of what that could do to their children and what they experience on the playground

or in extracurriculars or at schools? Katrina Colson was the Alamore County School Board Chairwoman. while she was the school board chairwoman, her kids were in Elmore County Public Schools. Now her kids are in private schools. She's a delegate. Like, why go through that? So my point is this, this child sex scandal in Almoreau County

in its public school system. A, I want you to consider what's happening. The story is completely turned into a non-story. Outside of Rob Schilling creating a meme or two, or trying to create some video memes that are going viral, The story is turned into a nothing burger. Sadly, I think the next evolution of this story is the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, Jim Hinchley may be listening to the program, routinely listens to the show.

A man I have tremendous respect for offering some kind of communication from his office of where we stand into this investigation. I think the community is owed that communication. I don't think the communication from the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office needs to be anything that jeopardizes the investigation, but it needs to be something from the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. Here's where we are. This is what we can say. This is the position we're in. This is the next steps of what's going to happen. Then the story will gain a little bit of momentum. Haas's resignation. He's paid a quarter of a million dollars roughly, a little more than that,

to hit the road, Jack, and sign a non-disclosure agreement on both sides. The school board is never going to talk about this. They're going to hide behind the non-disclosure. agreement that they signed with Haas in parting ways. Then the biggest middle finger of them all, at least certainly one of the biggest middle fingers of them all, is the appointment of the assistant superintendent as the acting superintendent for Matthew Haas. Now they're going to say, hey, we needed a leader to write the ship. We didn't have any.

Time was against us. This was the most qualified person that was willing to take the job. I believe they're still going to go through a search. They're doing a national search right now. It's like the, it's synonymous with the men. Men's lacrosse scandal. Lars Tiffany, we talked about this on the show. Was there a contract extension?

Was it a fully ratified contract extension? It's a he said, she said, right? Lars Tiffany is out. They promoted Lars Tiffany's immediate lieutenant. They promoted the immediate lieutenant who's working at a significant discount salary-wise than what Lars Tiffany was going to get paid. They did so, the promotion of Cassie's,

the lieutenant, the assistant coach, the offensive coordinator, because time was against them. They were in the middle of a recruiting window, a transfer portal window, and they needed a head coach to stabilize the ship. Same thing with Dr. Hayes. Is it Chandra Hayes? Yeah. The assistant superintendent, time was against them. So if the Lars Tiffany scenario, if things were really, really, really bad with men's lacrosse. Why would the immediate lieutenant to Lawrence Tiffany get the job?

If things were really, really, really bad with Alborough County Public Schools and the superintendent was basically fired or forced to resign, had he not accept the resignation, he probably would have gotten, they would have gone through a firing process. Why immediately promote the immediate lieutenant?

This is going to be challenging for me to say, then you jump in, hold that thought. Moms and dads that are watching this program that have any ties to Hollymead Elementary, Woodbrook Elementary, or Almore County Public Schools. When this is all set and done, there will be no change. The extent of what you will see is Matthew Haas is no longer on the job. Maybe Joe McCauley loses his job. He's still on paid leave. You may see some policy put in play, I hope to God, that teachers and administrators hope to God it's in a applies to non-licensed teachers cannot meet with students one-on-one.

Yeah. I mean, I don't see how a guidance counselor is not able to meet with a student one-on-one. At least you leave the door open, but a guidance counselor talking about vulnerable things probably has got to meet with a kid one-on-one. Maybe there's a new policy in play that doesn't allow that. Maybe you have a little bit more camera and communication system, transparency with technology. but what it's all said and done, it's going to be business as usual

at the end of this summer. And this story will be forgotten. And that is the sad nature of the 24-hour news cycle and this social media, digital content world we live, where we are overwhelmed. It's almost new story fatigue.

There's so much out there. Judah, you were holding a thought. Jump in, then we'll get to the comments. Put your comments in the feed, and we will relay them live on air. Judah Wickhauer, the show is yours. I was just going to comment on on them promoting Chandra Hayes, Dr. Chandra Hayes,

and it's going to say that it's, I think this whole portion of it is just arrogance. 100%. On the part of a lot of the school board, I'm not going to say everyone on the school board because I don't know. And they can be arrogant because why, Judah? Because there's no opposition of thought.

And there's no one to hold them accountable. Jim Dylan Beck, is he a church goer of yours? Yeah, he goes to my church. Jim Dylan Beck, stand-up guy, is the only one on the board of seven with opposition of thought or a willingness for accountability. And he is so overwhelmed that he is basically, and Jim Dylan Beck, stand-up, great guy. But he's been, he's castrated of power and influence. Never had it.

There's not much one person against five can do it. Six. Six, yeah. The Almorel County Board of Supervisors never commissioned a third-party investigation. I'm disappointed that the Almera County supervisors never commissioned or hired some kind of consultancy or some kind of third-party attorney or law firm

to investigate, not criminality, but to investigate ethics, gray area. How did we get there? To provide a report. Almore County, the city of Charlottesville, they're hiring third-party consultants for everything on a taxpayer dollar. But in this scenario, they won't kick a couple hundred grand to commission a third-party law firm or some kind of investigator, a Tim Heafi, to look into what happened. And the headline that's on screen, Alco Conservatives and Independence must run for office. Is that going to materialize?

You have an Admiral County Republican committee led by friend of the program, Phil Reese. He's a business owner. His kids went to Hollymead Elementary while Mike Sweeney was there. He released that in a statement. I got an emailed statement from him as the chairman of the Almore County Republican Committee,

Phil Reese. He's like, my kids were here when Mike Sweeney was here. I had to have an awful, terrible conversation with my daughter about this to see if she was in. involved. I finally was able to conclude that she was not. He's got his youngest kid about to go in there, and now he's seriously contemplating private schools because of what Almore County Public Schools has turned into. This chairman, Phil Reese, is a likable, regular, reasonable,

approachable kind of guy. Spend 15 minutes. I hope Philip Reese is watching the program right now. Spend 15 minutes with Philip Reese, and you're like, this dude's a good guy. Yeah. no doubt. It's not polarizing. It's not tromponian. It's not right winger. It's not not. It's just a middle of the road guy that has some conservative values and wants to put his kid first.

I have never seen, I've been here 26 years. I haven't seen the Republican committee this upside friendly, upside friendly to the millennial and younger demographic in my 26 years have been here. I've seen a lot of, I guess, if you were talking age demographics. I've hardly even seen them. Right. I've seen boomers there. I've seen retirees there when you do see him. But now he's using social media, email, digital media, press releases, on talk shows to communicate.

It's younger and it's leadership. Let's see if anything even happens. my bet is it won't and my bet is it won't it's not because I'm a doom and gloom guy it's because no one wants to succumb to that kind of exposure

and nastiness for the level of pay that it that coincides with it it also requires a certain type of person and Jim Dillembeck comes from a teaching background you know it's

not everybody that that is that passionate about the schools and the students in a particular area. In this case, Almaral County. You're right. It doesn't pay well.

There really needs to be that passion in order for someone to make the push to run for a seat there. Comments are coming in. Let's get handsome Hank Martin's photo on screen. there's a representative

there's a active extremely active citizen in Almorel County named Jill Kavanaugh. Jill Kavanaugh has sent me probably 20 text messages in the last week alone on the school board scandal

she was extremely active Jill Kavanaugh and getting who's the guy who lost the race for lieutenant governor she was on his campaign governor Virginia, I'm drawing a blank, lost. So am I.

John Reed. She was on John Reed's campaign. I was bombarded with text messages from Jill Kavanaugh about John Reed, his platform, and getting him on the show. We scheduled an interview with John Reed. John Reed then 12 hours before the interview ghosted us and canceled the interview because of the Glenn Yonkin gay sex scandal. that tied was associated with John Reed. Yeah. I was extremely disappointed with that because we were doing them a favor to get him on the program. You know, I'm now getting bombarded with text messages from her about this Almara County's child sex scandal.

She sent an email, I'll give her this, she is an active citizen. She sends an email to Bob Beard, the Almore County School Board, representative from the Samuel Miller district. That's my district. In fact, Bob Beard and I live in the same neighborhood. He responds to Jill Kavanaugh documented on a paper trail. Listen to have how cavalier this response was. Dear, I'm going to read verbatim, dear Miss Kavanaugh, thank you for writing and sharing your concern. Writing for myself and not the entire board, I share your outrage and anger at what has occurred and both Haleemite and Woodbrook. We owe you an appointment. We owe you an as a parent and a community member.

We're beginning a national search for a new superintendent soon, among other important changes. I was elected unopposed back in November and will not resign. I suggest that Trump, Virginia, GOP feel local candidates in Almaro

and compete for our votes. Everything was fine in that email until the last sentence. Yeah, I was sent that as well. And my question was, what was what was sent to him

to elicit that response I know she's communicating with me via text message I'm confident she emailed him you should resign now

the entire school board should resign now that's why he responds by saying I was elected unopposed back of November and will not resign she clearly called

for his resignation via email and the reason I also can back that claim up is because that's what she's sending me via text message in very prolific capacity. And if you look at the chain, I'm not responding, and I'm still getting the text messages.

Now, my point is this. The school board is so punch drunk with themselves that they can respond in snarky cavalier capacity to an extremely politically active taxpayer and Jill Kavanaugh on a documented paper trail. Not to mention a worried parent. Right. Hank Martin agrees. School board member Bob Beard's response to a concerned parent is the epitome of arrogance and hubris, that he was so free to issue such a cavalier response to hurting parents speaks greatly to the insensitive insensitivity of those in charge of our students' safety and education. Hank Martin has been on a,

and I respect what Hank Martin does tremendously. He utilizes social media to editorialize his thoughts. He's an active, he's a digital activist, Hank Martin. He also leaves this comment until you can seat a school board that can maintain their focus upon the safety and security of all students, focus on scholastic achievements singularly, and not endeavor to shape and define spiritual and character disciplines, leaving that to each individual parent's sovereignty and stay occupying that position solely for the advancement of students and not for patting political resumes, then our students have little hope. There is hope, though.

There's homeschooling and there's private schooling. And I know that's not for everyone. But there is other alternative options. Those are my words. Conan Owen watching the program. The school board reappointed Haas after questionable results. Why didn't the board have the stones to fire

Haas instead of asking for his resignation? Can't be about money. They waste it 24-7. The reality is it is about money. They would have rather closed the chapter on this story with a sacrificial lamb and do so in a capacity that's financially prudent, all while not attracting more attention on themselves. If the school board chose to fire Haas,

and Haas then chose to pursue legal action against Almeral County Public Schools, the story stays in the news cycle and continues, to drive heat for a leadership specifically the school board judah I also I also don't think that they're I also don't think that they necessarily disagree with anything Haas has done

I don't know that they feel they've done anything wrong they may feel like this is all just bad luck that this guy ended up at their school or whatever and so in asking him to resign they're essentially saying hey

sorry Haas but we need you know we need someone to take the fall we're going to you know we're going to ask you to resign we'll pay you till the end of your contract it's all good you know

sorry sorry it had to be you but hey you know somebody had to go down Julie Lynn watching the program viewers and listeners let us know your thoughts will relay I'm live on air queen of Jack Jewett Carol Thornt watching the program.

She says, with great respect to Judah, I'm going to offer some diversity of thought. In my opinion, Dr. Haas is certainly at the root of responsibility in that he created a position that had demanded no quantitative requirements of expertise, experience, or responsibility. Dr. Haas' undefined position, which gave private access to students, while I agree he's being put forth as a fall guide by the school board and hopes his resignation will be enough, that doesn't change that Dr. Haas should have never created the position the way he did in the first place. And that's a great point, my words now, of Carol Thorne. Those are great points. A COVID position social, emotional learning coach created by Dr. Haas during the pandemic,

a position that required no effing license. Yeah. Insane. She also adds the oft-heard yet hollow threat of outraged community members to city counselors and county supervisors of, we will take back your seat at the next election is laughable. I always respond and replace them with who? The rotten fruit of decades of one party majority voting is that no one other than a leftist will run. No one's center or central right will waste their time and energy to run. I never ran for the board of supervisors in the Jack Jewett district because I knew I didn't have a chance in the urban ring. The most qualified candidate you probably had for school board that was of an very much opposite opinion of the school board was Meg Bryce, and she was Scarlet Letterton lost by 20 plus points.

Yeah. And if you asked her probably, she would say one of the most awful times of her life. No doubt. Here we are, 40 minutes into the program, and here we are, ladies and gentlemen, at the end of June, and you've seen zero. substantial change without Mara County Public Schools. And if you're not infuriated as a parent, then, well, I'm sure you're infuriated as a parent, and I empathize with you, but you're being bamboozled by the public school system.

Next topic, what do you got you to work out? Hot day is coming. I'm going to spend 45 to 60 seconds on this. Sam Sanders, the city manager, said the tent town at Freebridge and at zero east high Street. Remember, there are two tent towns here, folks. There's one at the land the city purchased from window Wood at Zero East High Street, where the former, was it a circus or the fair was, Bill McChesdy, was it a circus or a fair? And then there's also the one that's on the county city line under Free Bridge. One north of the bridge, one south of the bridge. Yeah, and they're

slowly going to connect. I don't know about that, but... Okay, a tent town that the city is now providing porter potty and hand washing stations and use syringe disposal. Bins? Bins. Boxes. I don't know. Whatever you want to call it. Sam Sanders says the shelf life for these 10 towns is short and there are going to be no more. Well, I'll tell you what, if Sam Sanders does it when temperatures, I mean, it's 90 degrees right now. It feels like 92.

This weekend, I mean, next week. It's going to be beautiful, but next weekend it's going to be brutal. Next weekend, the temperatures are in the upper 90s, and even on next week, there's one registered temperature of 101. Yeah. Wednesday, it looks like it's getting up to 97, Thursday, 99, Friday 99. Is this the most dangerous time for Tentown? Oh, 100%. I mean, especially in Charlottesville.

Precipitation, I mean, not precipitation, but humidity. When temperatures get that high. and the humidity is as high as it usually is here, the problem is you can't sweat. And that's killer, especially if you don't have AC. I can't believe I'm saying this. As one of the most vocal oppositions to allowing men and women to camp in public places and to store their possession in public places,

I'm vehemently opposed to this, because I know a hand up is not cannibalizing our public amenities and our quality of life. That's not what a hand up looks like. Sam Sanders, if you choose to say no more and put your foot down on Tentown, please do not do this when temperatures are at triple digits. because if you remove them from the Rivana River, a source of cooling, and they have to go elsewhere, the liability and risk of injury or death or worse is much more significant. The reason tent town is being positioned by the homeless at Zero East High Street and under Free Bridge is because of the water source.

If you say no more by the banks of the Rivana River, they're still going to live here. year and their risk of death, sickness, injury will exponentially increase because there will be no cooling source, the water. And that's me literally empathizing in this situation with Tentown. There was a guy outside the studio yesterday. You saw him. I think I did, yeah. Homeless individual passed out in front to the left of our building.

so inebriated and intoxicated at 1 p.m. in the afternoon that he was asleep on a concrete slab with his back resting on a concrete wall. I mean, that's not even a concrete slab. That's as uncomfortable as you can get, those little stone concrete. Stone concrete, right. 100% juda.

Like, I have a hard time getting, and I feel like I'm in fairly good shape. getting down on the carpet in our house to play with our three-year-old son in rough and tumble capacity. This man was almost, I thought he was dead initially. On a stone concrete slab, his back crooked it up against a concrete wall. I called the non-emergency number of the Charlottesville Police Department, not-emergency number. And I said, you may want to check on this guy. Yeah.

They eventually did, he stumbled and inebriatedly away. It's real here. It is real. Next headline, what do you got? We have Seville. Most unaffordable? Not one of our better rankings. A new report compares home values and average incomes

across the Commonwealth to determine affordability. Charlottesville, the Charlottesville area under this report, has been ranked as the least affordable housing market. It points to a combination of high home prices and limited housing supply. So according to this third-party report, Charlottesville is the least affordable housing market in all of the Commonwealth. In contrast, Harrisonburg, Stanton Waynesboro, and Blacksburg, all ranked more affordable with housing than Charlottesville.

Conan Owen points out in the comment section that they're utilizing a 70,000 average individual wage. In Virginia. In Virginia. I point, I counter Conan's comment that that 70,000, the average annual salary of about 70,000, I push. back on it by saying today's climate it's couples that are buying homes so if it's one person at 70 and another at 70 they're at 140 in the HUD median family household income is 140 grand so if one take one earner in a household is at 70 and the other earner in the household is at 70 then they're at median family household income

and then they can afford a median valued home in the mid-500s. The challenge that you have in Charlottesville is this. Here's the clear-cut challenge. The white-collar jobs are just if you're not tied to the University of Virginia. If you're not tied to the finance and hedge funds and have those backgrounds, or if you're not tied to like a Martha Jefferson Hospital, there's just not that many of those jobs that are out there. Compounding the matter is the limited supply for purchase in this market.

Now, you can make the argument that the supply has been limited by, you know, the development area being constrained to 5% in Amaral County, or you can make an argument that the supply is tight in Charlottesville because they have nowhere else to add housing, which they don't. The point of this is, Charlottesville, according to an independent auditor, an independent ratings agency, if you may, is now earmarked or tabbed as the least affordable housing market in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. And I'll dot the eyes and cross the tease on this commentary by saying, wait till you see what happens in 24 months when AstraZeneca's 600 employees at a starting $125,000 salary. come to Albemarle County in Charlottesville.

It's just the beginning. Bill McChesney, thank you. He said zero east high street is called the fairgrounds. It was where the circus set up when they came to town. Thank you, Bill McChesney. Next headline, what do you got, Judah Wickcarrow? Next up, we have the drip bar. Look, I don't have a ton of information into this.

I'm just the guy that brokers a lot of deals. We broker a boatload of business deals. We broker a lot of deals, helped connect a lot of money. About a month ago, the drip bar on Water Street was rated by a federal department. It was investigated. Now, just as a guy that knows stuff, the drip bar is for sale. The asking price is $325,000. That's the extent of what I know.

About a month ago, the drip bar on Water Street rated by the feds, A ton of speculation on there. Why it was rated by the feds. We do know that the drip bar does turnkey IV hydration and wellness. Now the drip bar is for sale and the asking price is $325,000. I'm passing on information to you. That's the extent of what this topic is. I found it fascinating that it was for sale for $325,000.

Next headline, what do you got, Judahwick out? school athletics department operating in a deficit i found this also fascinating the university of virginia i published this data on the i love seville network yesterday search my facebook page my twitter page my lincoln search i love seville on instagram or i love seville on facebook you will find revenue and and and and and cost data screenshots that uh i've published i've published on the I Love Seville Network, revenue and expenses data. In 2025, total athletic operating expenses, including athletic scholarships, cost $162,000. In that same 2025 period, total revenues for athletic programs, $155,000, $150,000. You have a delta about $7 million. The University of Virginia operated in the

red 2025 to the tune of $7 million. Okay. In the grand scheme of things, this guy on Twitter sent me this snarky fellow. I find a lot of his tweets on Twitter, his commentary on Twitter, snarky, combative and unnecessarily

antagonistic. Mikey Surf is his handle, Mike Lewis. He responds to what I posted on the I Love Seville Network and I'll read it to the viewers and listen The UVA Athletic Department operated at a $7 million deficit in 2025. We will discuss this on the I Love Seville show today at 1230, and then I post the screenshots.

Then Mike Lewis, his handle, Mikey Surf, says, Jerry, the FSU Athletics Athletic Department is over 400 million in debt. Louisville Athletics just announced a 300 million deficit for fiscal year 2026, but you want to devote a show to discuss a 7 million deficit? it, please tell us your real agenda. I say to Mikey Serve, dude, get a grip. Stop trying to infer your own narrative through a two-sentence tweet that I posted. That's your own bias that are creeping through on your commentary on Twitter.

Get a grip, Mike Lewis. It's a Charlottesville-based talk show that discusses the University of Virginia. I'm not talking about Flores State because it's an FDengette. Tallahassee, dude. Louisville's in Kentucky. I'm talking about Charlottesville because I'm talking about UVA because I'm sitting two miles from the athletic department.

$7 million is a lot of money. And I understand that there's other athletic departments operating in a much more sizable debt position. I get that. But the University of Virginia is a department and it's led by leadership that is not going to allow operating in the red for extended periods

of time. And that's why Carla Williams has demanded that all her athletic programs, her varsity teams, be fully endowed by 28 or else they risk losing varsity status. Limited travel, not a full ACCC schedule slate, being more of a regional type of schedule. And I'm looking at the data, John Blair is a fantastic viewer and listener. This is expenses and revenue for the year ending June 30, 2025. So it's important to emphasize the June 30, 2025 ending. That did not include this past 11-win football season.

That did not include this past 30-win men's basketball team. And that did not include a top five Directors' Cup standings finish for the entire athletic department. This past season, viewers and listeners, I can make a legitimate argument was one of the greatest seasons, if not the greatest season. In UVA overall sports history, you had a men's football team that won 11 games. The most important sports team in that stable of sports is football. It drives the most revenue. I'm about to give you those numbers. 11 wins, most amount of wins in program history for a single year.

The basketball team won 30 games. 30 wins and made it to the NCAA tournament. That's the second driver of revenue. The women's basketball team had a deep NCAA tournament run. baseball made the NCAA playoffs. They didn't host a regional, but they got invited to a regional. Swimming and diving national championship, men's tennis national championship, squash the top 10 finish, softball deep tournament run.

The data should be better next reporting cycle when it comes out, which should be momentarily anytime now. but with the year 2024 to 2025 that's marked as 2025 because it ends June 30 2025 football ladies and gentlemen

total operating revenue for football was $52,111,111, total operating expenses was $34,257,000 that left a positive stream of revenue of $17.8 million. Basketball, this is what

shocked me. Men's basketball. It's positive stream of revenue. It operated in the black, but only to the tune of $1,500,000 in year 2024, 2025. Women's basketball

hemorrhage money, more than $4 million. Baseball hemorrhage money, more than $3.5 million. Track and field hemorrhage money, $2.6 million. and all the other sports, they're literally categorized by other sports at UVA, hemorrhage, more than $13,400,000. Football is carrying the load for the entire athletic department.

And that's why Carla Williams is telling every head coach at the University of Virginia that you need to fully endow your program because they are losing money. Yeah. And if Carla Williams, I'm told Carla Williams watches and listens to the show, has someone auditing the show, the associate athletic department ADs are watching and listening to the show, and in some cases providing reports to Carla Williams about what we're talking about on the show. The obvious business model you are not pursuing, and viewers and listeners don't want to hear this. but the obvious business model you're not pursuing is some kind of like Wahoo Pass for the content you're creating

within your athletic department. You have the play-by-play guys, the color commentator guys, the interns, the photographers, the videographers, the sports information directors, the assistant ADs. You have a stable of talent that could create content that's behind a paywall that you could monetize in some kind of,

capacity. And why do I know that? Because we're consulting and a part of the team at jerry rackliff.com. The dude's got 1,600 subscribers, $8 a month, Jerry rackliff.com. He's putting out 40 to 50 pieces of content a month. The content is sensational. It's by a Virginia Sports Hall of Famer. He is the source for UVA sports, and he's been the source for 50 years. If you're not subscribing to Jerryracklip.com for $8 a month, you are missing the best content UVA sports possible, and it's not even close, and it's the price of a cup of coffee. So Carla Williams, the report that you get on your desk about us talking about your department, listen to the show, a league pass, a WAHU pass, and a nominal rate would drive

revenue for your department. Vanessa Park Hill, how will Title IX impact the need to fund non-revenue sports to keep women's programs on the books? They can't cut all the women's sports just because they aren't fully endowed. I think women's basketball is going to get funded. We know it's going to get funded. But if you look at that other sports category, a lot of the big time sports that lose the money are women's sports. And that's not about being sexist in any capacity.

The most marquee of the women's sports in college athletics is women's basketball. And UVA women's basketball in calendar year, 2020. to 2025, June 30, 2025 ending, lost $4,116,834. That's a boatload of money. Now, think about how many show up for women's volleyball. How many show up for softball? How many show up for women's track and field, rowing, golf, women's lacrosse and soccer

swimming think about how much it costs to get an entire women's soccer team to fly from Charlottesville, Virginia to effing Stanford to play a women's soccer match in front of 80 parents how much does it cost to fly a 20-person women's soccer team a stable of assistant coaches and head coaches

and trainers and all the baggage. Round trip. What are we talking? 50, 60 grand? Probably more than that, right? I mean, how much does it cost to fly across the country and back as an individual with a couple of suitcases?

I think it all depends on timing. When you're going, when you're looking for the tickets, I mean, getting tickets too early. or too late can both be bad, depending. I mean, can you fly a round trip? I literally have no idea on this. Can you fly a round trip to Palo Alto, California, and back as an individual for under $1,000? I would guess you probably can.

With a suitcase? Does anyone have that answer? I don't have that answer. I would think if you get the tickets at the right time, you could definitely get them for less than a thousand. For less than a genome? I think so. and you're flying 20 people, 25 people? Yeah.

Last item, if you give me that number, I'd love to know. And the last item in the notebook is you go, the affable, likable big man is a Detroit piston. I'm a huge Motown Pistons fan. He got drafted in the second round, got traded before he even put a jersey on. And now he's playing for the Detroit Pistons who are a legit Eastern Conference champion contender. and a legit contender for an NBA championship next season, led by Cade Cunningham, one of my favorite players. James Watson watching the program. He says, I'm a big women's basketball fan, but I've noticed looking at different reports.

Most programs lose $4 million a year on women's basketball. Lots of hotels, travel and coaches. I'm literally looking at the report, James, and your number is very accurate. Women's basketball in year 2024-2020, lost more than $4 million. Here we go. Round-trip flights from Cho to California typically range from $350 to $600. To Palo Alto?

Round-trip flights. I can add in Palo Alto specifically. That's absolutely astonishing to me. That astonishes me. Yeah. Typically costs between 350 to 6. 50 round trip. Unbelievable.

So, but again, if you were to try to get the tickets a week before you left, I'm sure that would, I'm sure the price would skyrocket. Absolutely unbelievable. And then there's also. 25 people at 500. You're talking about 12 to 15K just on travel. Yeah. That's before per diem and bag check-ins and all the add-ons.

I find that absolutely unbelievable. I'm on Expedia right now. Booking five weeks in advance usually yields the best combination of price and availability. I'm searching exactly what you're doing right now. I'm trust but verify Ronald Reagan here. Chow to San Francisco. Expedia is checking. I don't doubt you.

I'm just surprised by the number. I'm on Expedia. It's loading right now. Yeah, that's the number like 600 bucks. Yeah. Round trip. Well, this puts it in perspective for you. the women's basketball program is your top ticket draw for women's sports at UVA.

Women's basketball gets thousands of fans at the John Paul Jones Arena for home games. And they're still losing. It is on national TV or regional TV for many of its games, and it's still lost more than $4 million. And it's got one of the smaller rosters of the women's sports. And it's still lost more than $4 million. That's the Friday edition of the show. James Watson has a couple more comments. I respect him.

He says, you ain't getting to Palo Alto and back from much under 650 flying into San Francisco. He's right. It was like $650. He's exactly right. And he knows because he travels a lot for his work. He also says every single hotel room in the Bay Area is around $200 minimum on the very low end.

And then you've got to feed everybody and normally they'll play Stanford, and Berkeley, so they're probably staying four to six days. Yeah, there you go. There you go from a really smart guy, James Watson. So they're staying in a hotel four to six days. You're feeding 20 to 25 people, and you're at 650 round trip of flight for 20 to 25 people. Call it 20 people.

Probably more than 20 people. There's a head coach and three assistants. There's what, 15 players on the roster, and they're bringing the trainers, the video people, the photographer, the sports information director associated with that team, you're probably closer to 25 than number. Jeremy Wilson's watching in Eastern Tennessee. Any kind of deficit

is not something you overlook or say, oh, what the hell, it's not that bad. Amen, Jeremy Wilson. Georgia Gilmer, charter flights versus commercial flights are different. That's true, Georgia Gilmer. Vanessa Parkhill, the financial reality is most teams in the WMBA

would fold if they were not funded by the NBA. 100%. And that's why, and this is going to get me into trouble, but this is facts. The argument that the WMBA players should be paid at the same levels, the NBA players, is a full, is a straw man's argument. The NBA makes money. The WMBA does not. The NBA is subsidizing the WMBA. If it wasn't for the NBA, there would be no WMBA. Brighton Funds is watching on YouTube. Imagine a single mom making $45,000 a year for a white-collar job, that would be a challenging endeavor. And I would imagine if there's a single mother that's making $45,000 a year for a white-collar job,

that she then has a part-time job as well. I don't see how a single mom that is making $45,000 a year is living in Almaral County. Yeah. A 40-hour-a-week job with kids. Sarah Williams single teachers can't buy a home they make around 60K with a master's degree and student loans to pay 100%.

Yeah. It's a two-income family to buy a house here. And if you don't have a two-income family, if you don't have two-income earners to buy a house, then you need to work 80 hours a week. You're working two jobs to make up for it. I've said it on this program. Probably one of the things I've gotten the most heat on this show

is it's not a 40-hour work week. area anymore. I said it was a 60 hour work week. I don't think I've got more heat on the show than saying you need to work 60 hours if you're going to live in this market. And I'm going to change my tune right now and say you're probably looking at a 65 or 70 hour work week if you're a single person earner. A job and a half or a job in three quarters if you want to live in Charlottesville and Amar County is a single person, especially if you have kids. What were you going to say? Just another one of the number facts from the report about the affordability of Charlottesville says that it's estimate, and this is based on, as you were talking about before, the average annual salary of about $70,000 a year for Virginia, estimates it would take the equivalent of seven and a half years of income to purchase a typical home.

Yeah, and that's why if you want to cut that seven and a half year average down, and you're a single earner, you have to work more than one job. I bought a place at 25 because I was working 85 to 90 hours a week. I did not have a life besides work. I was working every day. in some cases showing up to work at 4 a.m. But did that because I wanted to buy a house. And people don't want to hear that.

And then one of the best things was not selling the real estate. Because that's just a passive income stream. Now with no debt on it, that's akin to probably a 25 hour a week job. And then you compound that time, then you just snowball it into other doors. other pieces of property you buy and put tenants in there to cover the overhead. And then once the term is paid off, then you do it rinse and repeat. Yeah. All right.

It's Friday. Wish you the best. Judah, what character pressure this week? This is favorite day of the week. It's payday. This is my least favorite day of the week. Monday's are my favorite day of the week. It'll be a short week for us next week.

I'm going on vacation on Wednesday for a couple of weeks. going to the beach. Judas is going to be in office. He's going on vacation. Mid-July, is that when you're going? You're going to Maine, right? Yeah, it's a few weeks from now. So he'll be in office. He'll be in studio. You'll see some of our additional shows airing next week on the network.

I'm going to be in the saddle Monday and Tuesday, hosting the Jerry and Jerry show, and then the I Love Seville show on Monday and Tuesday. Then I leave Wednesday for vacay for a couple of weeks. He'll be in studio, running the shows that are not tied to us. And then we got a big time announcement coming at the end of July for the I Love Seville Network, big time positive announcement at the end of July.

It's called a tease in the business. For Judah Wickhauer, my name is Jerry Miller.
