Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, like and share the show, Vanessa Parkhill, Bob Yarborough, Hank Martin, Mike Kottis, Ron Gantz, Troy Robinson. It's the last show of the week, guys. I'm Jerry Miller. Good Friday afternoon to you. Thank you kindly for joining us on the water cooler of content and conversation as we head into ratings, the ratings period. The I Love Seville Show, this show, the flagship of the I Love Seville Network for consecutive years is looking to maintain its purchase. atop the most watched, listen, and red media in this region we call Central Virginia. Tom Powell, Vanessa Parkhill, welcome to the broadcast. Frankly, it's not even close. Everyone knows legacy media is going the way of the T-Rex and the Dodo Bird.
Starting point is 00:00:47 And everyone knows social media and podcasting and digital media is not just the present, but it's the future. What I'm doing right now is airing on 27 social media and podcasting platforms at once. then it's archived in perpetuity on the internet. It's called Evergreen Content, where you, the viewer, and listener, can access it at your leisure. Frankly, it'll pop up in your algorithm whether you want it or not. I mean, that's just the way social media algorithms work.
Starting point is 00:01:14 A lot we're going to cover on the program, including on today's show, what the top headline of the week is. It's been a busy week for Charles Wildmore and Central Virginia. I mean, we got a shooting. We're live on LinkedIn. We're good. We got a shooting next to the Wawa.
Starting point is 00:01:33 I mean, this is, you know, one of the most trafficked shopping corridors in all of central Virginia, right, Judah? Fifth Street station, the Wegmans, the Wawa. Oh, yeah. I mean, tens of thousands of people live down Fifth Street extended and Avon extended? I mean, I stopped there sometimes after I've... Are you on camera? No. Is that the voice of God or is that Judah Wickhauer?
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yes. Judah Wickhauer, might as well two shot you. I mean, he's an integral part of the program. He's an integral part of our prop betting. We have an active prop pet. Will Allison Spillman cry at the next school board meeting? Judah says, yes, I say no. I have a prop bet with the fixer.
Starting point is 00:02:14 I'm not going to let you know who the fixer is, but it's a viewer and listener that watches this program that does a lot of fixing, and I'm not talking handyman fixing. And the prop bet with the fixer, I gave four to one odds to the fixer that Natalie Oshran will retire or quit before her term is up. I say Natalie Oshran will finish her term.
Starting point is 00:02:39 The fixer bets that Natalie Oshran will quit prior to the conclusion of her term. It's my $100 against his 25. I think I'm front running for that bet, and frankly, I think I'm front running on the Allison Spillman cry in her last meeting bet. But we'll talk about that on the program. you were talking wah-wah. Your parents lived down Fifth Street extended. You passed this anytime you visit Big Jim and Ann,
Starting point is 00:03:03 some of the most fabulous people in Amarro County. I'll usually stop there for gas on the way home from their house if I'm there for dinner some night and like 9, 30, 10 o'clock. It's, you know, that area is still busy. Right. I mean, top five most shopped and trafficked shopping districts in Central Virginia? I mean, nothing's going to beat Barracks Road Shopping Center. Ryo, I mean, Route 29 is a zoo. Let's cut to the chase, but Fifth Street Station's right there. Do we talk?
Starting point is 00:03:35 We should talk positives first, okay? Positive is first. The police department here in Charlottesville has done a, again, fantastic job on this. Yeah. And you can't police gunshots in terms of preventing them from happening. Yeah. Right. But what we've seen, what we have seen, is that they're very fast to track down the, you know, perpetrators. Right. And now we're searching for a convicted felon, a 20-year-old by the name of, is it Nicon, Nicon, Nicon, Gardner? Something like that. I think his first name should be nice seeing you.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You're going to be spending a lot of time in the slammer. Nicene Gardner has been identified as the suspect allegedly, allegedly. Thursday morning shooting. They have a photo of him. Nicsoon, Nice seeing you gardener, the 20-year-old, is wearing a t-shirt that is as identifiable of any piece of clothing as you could possibly imagine. Are the people on Niceneu's, nice seeing you gardener's shirt? Are those his kids?
Starting point is 00:04:44 Are those images of him when he was as a baby? I mean, you talk about the worst kind of criminal possible. this guy is video surveillance video is face all over it he was going to get I had the I go to church with with Nyssoon, nice seeing you
Starting point is 00:05:05 No not Nyssoon with the he's the chaplain for the Charlottesville Police Department and he said this was a bad week aside from this there was there were some other things something at our church, something that he got a call to go to.
Starting point is 00:05:29 But he said in reference to this guy, guys like this always get caught because they're dumb. They go home and tell their moms and they don't get rid of their phones. Seventy-four-year-old man is the awful part of the story. A 74-year-old man that was a Wawa employee was on break outside. Oh, I know that guy. I used to work with him.
Starting point is 00:05:55 You've worked here for 16 years. So you used to work with him? Okay, you called me a liar? No, I'm not calling you a liar. So this was more than 16 years ago? So you knew him when he was 58? I never asked him his age. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You know who I'm talking about? The 74-year-old from Wawa? Well, I wouldn't have known who it was until you said that the 70-year-old man was... 74-year-old man was... was an employee there. And he's often there when I stopped there after having
Starting point is 00:06:26 been at my parents' house. And you would talk him up and you remember him for working together? I don't know if he remembers me, but... How could you not remember Judah Wickower? Right. So you remember this man from your time at a previous employer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:42 He got shot. And if it wasn't for the quick action of Charlottesville Police Department who arrived on scene and performed a life-same. measures, a 74-year-old man, 19-year-old man, and a 17-year-old juvenile who were also shot would be in much worse off condition. On the lamb is nice seeing you, Gardner, who is already a convicted felon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:07 He is on the lamb, and my wife, I had a conversation with her about this. This is in a shopping district. It's one thing, you know, and I'm not marginalizing in any capacity violence. I'm not marginalizing violence but violence in Fifth Street Station next to a Wawa gets stayed-at-home moms
Starting point is 00:07:34 gets moms that are grinding 60 hours a week gets stayed-home dads gets dads that are grinding 60 hours a week having a conversation like what the hell's going on and props to Chief Conscious in the police department
Starting point is 00:07:49 for acting quickly and identifying and now in a manhunt for a convicted felon. Is this the top headline of the week that an innocent bystander on his break as an employee at Wawa, a 74-year-old man, got hit with stray bullet? Is that the story? Is the story of this week
Starting point is 00:08:11 as you're putting the lower third on screen, the top headlines of the week? The fact that City Hall in Charlottesville has now entered a contractual agreement with two out-of-state groups or businesses or nonprofits, I call them in the business of homelessness. One of them, the Arizona entity, is getting $3 million. City Hall said, I would rather,
Starting point is 00:08:39 City Hall said we would rather spend this money out of market with an Arizona outfit than do it in-market here in Charlottesville and Almaro. But there is no in-market. How is that true? What do you mean? There's no in-market. There's no Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless. There's no Patcham.
Starting point is 00:09:00 There's no The Haven. There's no Salvation Army. There's no one that wants $3 million for 12 months of work to manage one floor of a building to house some people. I mean, what do you mean? I've asked the question in our shows this week. It baffles me that none of these, and I'm not. This is $3 million. I'm not talking about Salvation Army because they're doing.
Starting point is 00:09:23 doing their own thing. But the other three groups that are already involved with the shelter, you would think that in preparation for the eventual opening of the full-time, like not temporary shelter, but full-time shelter, you would think that they would have been preparing. And part of that preparation would be either training or finding people who have the ability to do what this group, Cass, is going to do. But, Judah's a businessman. Strangely enough, in all the time they've been discussing the 2000 holiday shelter.
Starting point is 00:10:06 10 months, Judah, 10 months. They don't have anything. Judah's on point. Any ability to fill this hole in the plan. And so. And that's $3 million. dollars. You would think that... For 12 months of work.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And so, and the thing is, we've had a lot to say about Cass, but from everything I've read, they do an amazing job. Yeah, I'm not throwing shade at Cass, the Arizona outfit. And they, 100%. Hopefully will come and
Starting point is 00:10:42 one of these... Set a standard, one of these groups will learn from them. and hopefully, Lord willing, they won't say, oh, hey, you pay them $3, now pay us. And there's my follow up right there. And there's my follow. Judah Wickhauer on point. So you're saying, does the $3 million set up a bad precedent?
Starting point is 00:11:07 Is it the new comp? Yeah. Is it the new standard? There it is. Damn, you are on point today on a payday Friday, your favorite day of the week. Thank you. You're on effing point today. That is exactly the point I would have made, and you did it better than me.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Arizona firm's getting $3 million for 12 months of work, and the Arizona firm is only managing one floor of the 27,000 square foot office building. We're expected to manage all the 27,000 square foot office building, not just one floor of it. Every single floor, and the wraparound services, and the bus stop, and the outreach with the business district that's right next to it, and the plan in place. If they're getting $3 million, by gosh darn it, Charlottesville taxpayers in City Hall, you pay them $3 million in 2026. Here it's 27, inflation, cost of goods, employees want more money, uptick and everything. Give us $3 million. Did Sam Sanders set a new standard for 2000
Starting point is 00:12:11 holiday drive at $3 million? And our taxpayers are going to take it. We're the Sun don't shine as a result. Is that the lead headline of the week? I think it would be... Is that the lead headline? Very... Is the lead headline a 74-year-old man? You got William McChesney, the mayor of McIntyre, his photo on screen.
Starting point is 00:12:30 He says, I know the 74-year-old man. William McChesney says, this is my boy. This is my homie. I've known this man, William McChesney says, since the 60s. William McChesney, I've known him since 1960s. He's a longtime friend of mine. He works the overnight shift. Bill McChesney, tell us about the 74-year-old man that took a stray bullet.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Bill, he's the guy with the, he wears the bow tie occasionally. He wears the bow tie at work at Wawa? Wow. I've complimented him on it. I appreciate that. I don't want to give out his name. Don't give out his name. I would definitely not give out his name.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Because he's a witness to a guy who's on the run and on the lamb right now. That 74-year-old man is potentially a witness to a man that is running for his life, Nic senior gardener, that is probably going to spend the large remaining years of his time on the planet, allegedly, if he's convicted of this, this alleged already. But if he is convicted, this guy's going to spend the large portion of his remaining life on this planet in a slammer. Yeah, I hope so. Right? So this is a man that would be perceived to be extremely dangerous that's on the land.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Already a convicted felon. Already convicted felon. I believe a two-time convicted felon. Clearly not afraid to wave a weapon around and... And 20 years old. And shoot... 74-year-old men. Take shots.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I don't know. We don't know it, obviously, if he was aiming at any of these people. Chief Conscious in the press conference. Fantastic job to Chief Cautius. Was watching the program earlier, Belize watching now, said this was from a beef in his press conference. This is the outcome of a beef. Okay?
Starting point is 00:14:28 His detectives, surveillance, footage, and cameras. Dude, for one thing, don't do this stuff. Don't do this, bad guys. And bad guys, don't wear a shirt that has... I don't know what that is. What is he doing here? shirt the most identifiable piece of clothing I've ever seen
Starting point is 00:14:53 what is that dude's not even wearing a mask is that his wife and kids I don't know it's the cabbage patch kids right there on his shirt is that the cabbage patch kids I figured maybe it was either family
Starting point is 00:15:08 or the people from the old video that goes hide your kids hide your wife yeah I mean this is the cartoon version a fat Albert there on his shirt? Quite possible. What are you doing? He's 20.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Okay, the other obvious lead story, viewers and listeners, put your comments to the feed. We'll relay them live on air. Carol Forbes says, for me, it's the Allison Spilman. Resignation is the lead story. And she says, this week has been especially good for the I Love Seaville show. And she says, you and Judah, Jerry, have both been exceptional this week. We're heading into another ratings week. The I Love Seville Show, ladies and gentlemen, will maintain its position as the number one piece of content in Charlottesville, Elmore, and Central Virginia.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And frankly, second place is so far in our rearview mirror. We're lapping them on the track. Bill McChesney says the 74-year-old buddy of his, his homie, is at home recovering from his wound. That's good to know. Lots of Wawa customers have been calling to ask about him. Wawa customers rally around him. maybe a go-fund me support our community member
Starting point is 00:16:22 that got hit by a stray bullet I mean is the lead story the Spillman headline I think it's pretty close I think the lead story may be the fact that ACPS is
Starting point is 00:16:39 ACPS, Amar County Public Schools is falling back on a on a well-known and utilized firm. They're doing the UVA playbook here. This is the UVA playbook, Almar County Public Schools.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Third-party investigator that is much more friend than foe, much more, much more what? Confidant than truth seeker. Yeah. And can we, you mentioned UVA, can we expect them to break out the magic marker, the black magic marker? not the redacted reports not the highlighter and say oh that's that's information that oh it's that's got someone's name that's and and we end up getting you know a third of the report unredacted John Blair's photo on screen John Blair's watching he says like Judah I also know the 74 year old individual not well but just from stopping at Wawa from time to time I was shocked when I heard the news, pray for all three victims.
Starting point is 00:17:52 It's truly a sad situation. Conan Owen's watching the program. He says, John Blair, he's communicating with John Blair on my LinkedIn page. My personal LinkedIn page has nearly 8,000 connections that this show is being sent to. John Blair, think about this scenario, Conan Owen says. 20-year-old already has multiple felony convictions. Gets a second chance and immediately goes out and gets a handgun and then uses it to shoot people.
Starting point is 00:18:21 That's what happened. Nicenea Gardner is a two-time felon. He's 20, has a weapon, and was shooting people up. At a wah-wah in one of the most populated shopping districts in the region. Yeah. And a stray bullet hits a 74-year-old civilian. Yeah. I mean, those are facts.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Conan also says it's very difficult for a nonprofit to spend money on trading for months in advance with the hope of getting a contract, Judah. He's talking about why there was no one ready to take this three million low-hanging fruit. I don't necessarily disagree, but I don't, aren't they pretty much, aren't the three companies, like, in bed. Three non-profits. They're not companies, nonprofits. You're talking Blue Ridge Area College for the homeless, Patcham and the Haven. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Arthay, go ahead. Finish your thought. I mean, they've been in this from the start. You would think that... I'm with you, dude. I'm 100% with you. And if they're not, and then what... I mean, really, what was the plan? Bingo!
Starting point is 00:19:46 What is the plan? They didn't have... Brack, Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless, the Haven, and Patcham, do not have the sophistication or nuance to manage just one floor of the building. Before the floor was completely outfitted and retrofitted and remodeled, how do we think that they're going to have the nuance, the sophistication, the experience, and the skill set to manage the entire effing facility? John Blair makes the point. Think of how crazy this week has been. Normally, if the Charlottesville or Almaro County Police Chief resigns, it's the lead story for the entire week. Here we got Sean Reeves Judah Wickhauer, the Almore County Police Chief, that's been on medical leave for most of the year. Yeah. And is now saying, you know what, peace, I'm out. I'm not coming back. back. I'm going to just retire. Does anyone not have questions of why Sean Reeves, who's been on medical leave for most of this year since May 8th, is now going to go transition from medical
Starting point is 00:21:09 leave to retirement on October 1? Well, staying on medical leave. What is going on? Don't we have questions as Almaro County taxpayers? Why did he go on medical leave? Why have we been funding the most expensive position in the Amar County Police Department for just about all of 2026 and had someone not at work? And why is he transitioning straight into retirement? What is going on here? Is this mental health? Is this sickness?
Starting point is 00:21:44 What is happening? And can I highlight this? I want to give some big time props. And I gained tremendous respect for Deputy Chief Camille Stewart when I watched her at Holly Meade Elementary, interact with Matthew Haas at the parent forum where they, for the first time, communicated to Holly Meade Elementary School parents that there was an alleged child sex assaulter utilizing a nondescript, off the beaten path sex dungeon to do the most horrific of acts during school time. school hours at Holla Meade Elementary.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I watched the deputy chief, Camille Stewart, who is now the acting police chief at Alamoire County Police Department. She basically put Dr. Matthew Haas in his place. Because Dr. Matthew Haasen, that video, was trying to throw the police under the bus to cover for himself. In that video recorded parent forum town hall
Starting point is 00:22:46 in the gym at Halamine Elementary School, Matthew Haas said, well, I was told not to tell anyone parent-wise, parents, that their kids may have been sexually assaulted by Mike Sweeney, allegedly. And then Camille Stewart slides on over in front of the microphone and says, that's actually not true. You could have told the parents that their kids were allegedly sexually assaulted. What you're saying pretty much is an untruth. And then after she said that, Matthew Haas was like, well, you know what? I'm pretty much aft here. I'm pretty much screwed.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm pretty much in trouble. But he negotiates a golden parachute. Somehow, the Amar County School Board give this guy nearly $300,000 to trot off into the sunset as if he's wide irp with a buxom beauty in the back of his horse to go find his new homestead.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I doubt he even had to do a whole lot of... Here's 300K, Matthew Haas. Go trot off into the sunset. set with a buxom beauty on the back of your Philly and go find yourself a new homestead. That's what they said. And then we find out from your boy, Jim Dillonbeck, as he's passing the church offering plate to you in Pew number three, he says, oh my goodness, there was a woman on the school board that was told by Matthew Haas in February about all this, and she did nothing.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And then Matthew, Jim Dillenbeck, your boy, Jimbo, Jimbo Dylanbeck, Jimbo says, you know what, I'd have to check my notes. I'd have to check my notes. But I'm not really sure. I don't think I was ever told that there was alleged 11 sexual assaults at Hallibede Elementary by a teacher for the most vulnerable students. But I'm not really sure. My memory is not that clear.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Jimbo, you don't remember having a conversation or hearing anything about teachers, allegedly sexually assaulting children? For you to say, I don't remember, I'm not sure, and I have to check my notes. That is, okay, I would like, since it's your friend, you finish the sentence because my word choice is going to be different than yours. I'm not going to, I didn't hear the, I didn't hear the quote or. That was the quote. That was the exact quote.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Almost verbatim, exact words. Hank Martin, am I not right? I'd have to check my notes. I don't remember. I'd have to go back and look. I'm not 100%. I don't think I was told that kids were. And then says, a female school board member
Starting point is 00:25:29 was told in February, and she didn't mention anything else. Then Allison Spillman resigns. Katea Koff, is that who it was? Katea Koff? The one who left. Peased out? Peased out and was in the last school,
Starting point is 00:25:44 the emergency school board meeting via Zoom. Kate, Kate cuff? Kate cuffed? Oh, excuse me. A cuff, not cuffed. K to cuff, not cuffed. Let's, K to cuff or cuffed? K to cuff?
Starting point is 00:25:59 Who knew? We don't know. We deserve to know. Do we deserve to know? I think it would be nice to know who. Which of the seven? It's not even seven. It's five females on the board. Which of the five females knew in February and did nothing? Is that not the number one thing this, third party law firm should say and figure out?
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah. Am I right on this? Who knew? Who knew? Who knew? Who knew? Who knew and covered it up? I don't know if, I don't know if this particular person knowing is covering it up. Oh my goodness. Okay. I'll hear you out. Okay. Doing nothing you're saying is not a cover up. Okay. Tell that to the parents, but go ahead. Okay, but in this case, we're not. Because they watch the show, but go ahead.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I'll be quiet. You're right. I'm sorry. I'll be quiet. In this case, we're not talking about someone that knew about Sweeney before he came to the school or during the time he was at the school. That's an assumption. No. Yes, it is. I believe what, no. You don't know what Matthew Haas told to the female school board member about how he got to Holly Mead and what he did allegedly or rumored at Woodbrook Elementary. You do not know if Matthew Haas said that to the female school board member or not.
Starting point is 00:27:13 But what we are talking about is this. this woman on the school board knowing after what, January, February, when the guy got arrested and was no longer with the school, that was what the knowledge was about, correct? Am I wrong there? I don't know what... I find not passing on that information troubling, but not necessarily egregious. if you knew that the guy was out of the school and the police were looking into it
Starting point is 00:27:50 and you were one of the only people that knew about it I can see it being the kind of thing that you're like I don't know if I should you know if this is my thing to tell this is not about Sweeney being at the school and somebody knowing that he was a predator and not saying anything about it
Starting point is 00:28:10 I'm just saying there are differences in the information and it is troubling that you would go five or six months without telling parents that some of this stuff occurred. But it's not the same. It's not the same as knowing the guy was doing those things before the police came along and not saying anything. I'm flabbergasted by your stance. Really?
Starting point is 00:28:33 Tom Starchel watching the program, the Golden Apple Award winner, the retired Amor County Public School teacher, Tom Stadjel's photo on screen, how Jerry described Jim Dillon Beck's comments on the record about needing to check his notes to see if alleged sexual assaults were happening at Almore County Public Schools is absolutely a perfect description of what Dylan Beck said in the media. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Okay. I'm going to rebuttal Judah's comment here, his commentary from moments ago. If Almore County School Board members, if one, we know one, Dylan Beck said there was one. Yeah. He said one of the women knew. If they knew in February and did nothing, that's a cover up. If you were told by the superintendent, children are being sexually assaulted at an elementary school, the most vulnerable students by a man that's not licensed,
Starting point is 00:29:32 and an office that's windowless and cameraless can be locked from the inside while he's holding a walkie-talkie that can track the whereabouts of every employee in the school. The school board member knew, was told this from the superintendent, and they heard it in February, and they did nothing. That is a cover-up. What, okay, so- Viewers and listeners, help us, is that a cover-up, yes or no? Viewers and listeners, is that a cover-up, yes or no?
Starting point is 00:30:02 Go ahead, Judah, Woodcaron. So you're saying it's a cover-up after the police are involved? This was before the police were involved. That was not my understanding of it. Okay. I stand corrected. I stand corrected. We don't know the exact timeline.
Starting point is 00:30:17 My understanding. If the school board, I'll choose my words very carefully here. We don't know the exact timeline. Perhaps the police were already involved that. That's what I was trying to explain. You're right. If this person, if this alleged woman knew before the police became involved, I agree with you completely. That's a cover up.
Starting point is 00:30:37 If they knew after he had been. after he had been, the police had started the investigation, he was placed on leave. At that point, I think it's bad decision-making on both this board member and on the superintendent's part to not inform parents about it. That's a cover-up. But it's not a cover-up once the police are involved. Not informing people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Judah, Judah, Judah, acting, Almaro-Marle County Police Chief Camille Stewart. corrected Matthew Haas at the Holly Me Gymnasium Town Forum, town hall, and said, you should have told the parents. That's not what she said. Yes, she did say that. She said, we did not prevent you from telling the parents. Right. That's different from saying.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Oh, my gosh. No, seriously. Oh, my gosh. You're really just going to throw around whatever you want to say and then not. All right. So this is what you're saying. When Camille Stewart gets the microphone from Matthew Hoss and says, we did not prevent you from telling the parents.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yeah. That's not her saying you should have told the parents? I'm not sure how you're conflating two completely different statements. Her saying one of those, making one of those statements is not exactly the same as her making the other statement. I'm sorry. It may have been implied. It very well may have been implied that he should have told the parents. But that's not what she said.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I agree that they should have told the parents. We're both in agreement there. We're both in agreement there. What we're in disagreement here and we're having a conversation, it's getting heated. I'm not trying to get heated here. I'm coming at this as a person that's alpha and passionate by nature and certainly a father of two children,
Starting point is 00:32:35 an eight-year-old and a three-year-old soon and before that the eight-year-old very well could have been in this situation. Yeah. Okay? So I'm thinking about it that way as well. Okay? So I'm trying to stick to the facts here and keep the emotions out of it.
Starting point is 00:32:50 A school board member who knew in February what was happening and did nothing about the knowledge, the worst kind of knowledge possible. I mean, this is right there with school shooting of what happened. Okay? And did nothing about it.
Starting point is 00:33:06 And did nothing about it. That for me is what a cover-up is. Because they made the decision not to act on it because of fear of what was going to happen. If I was in the shoes of whoever this female is, and I found out in February from Dr. Haas,
Starting point is 00:33:28 the immediate first thing I would have sent to Dr. Haas was A, sit me down, I'm going to clear the rest of my schedule. I want the exact turn of events of how we got to this point, as you know it right now. And I would have told Matthew Haugh, I am documenting this, sir. I would have told him that. I would have paper trailed it.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I probably would have busted out my iPhone recorder and said, I'm going to record this. To cover my, first to protect myself. Then I would have taken the documentation and the recording and called an emergency school board meeting and immediately papered the trail in an emergency documented school board meeting.
Starting point is 00:34:14 And in that meeting, I would have demanded that my fellow school board members bring this to the attention not just of parents, but of the public. Yeah. Because how the Holly Meade Elementary parents found out was through a mugshot released on the I Love Seville Show of Mike Sweeney.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I mean, the same goes... That's how they found out. The same goes with all the parents, even the ones at the current school, right? Yeah. Woodbrook Elementary. Yeah. Why did Woodbrook Elementary not have the same town hall offered to them?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Where Matthew Haas and Rebecca Berlin and the Woodbrook Elementary School Board representative and the grief counselors and the principal were present. He used to work at Woodbrook. Compounding the matter, Woodbrook is the other teacher who got popped for the child porn. Woodbrook deserves the same. Tom Stardgill's comments, photos on screen of people. viewers and listeners at the most watched and listened to media in Charlestville in central Virginia, the I Love Seville Show.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Tom Storjel, from the moment, even when one board member knew they all were complicit. It was her duty to inform the others, but I check my notes and think they were all told in those individual meetings with Hoss. The biggest, the biggest, these are my words now. this is we are we are let's just be straightforward here okay let's be straightforward to
Starting point is 00:35:55 are we to believe that Matthew Haas only told one person on the school board are we to believe that do we really think that and do we think that one person did not tell anyone else that this person is an adult an elected official in February
Starting point is 00:36:15 and that one person chose not to tell anyone else I mean that It's a pretty easy claim to unravel, I would think. Are we to believe that the other school board members genuinely didn't know this? The more I digest this story, the more this seems like a pile of shit to me. It just seems like a bunch of lions happen in here. Comments continue to come in. Jeremy Wilson's watching in Eastern Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Anyone who is involved in a cover-up of a crime like this should receive jail time if found guilty and publicly humiliated. Anyone who knew about this and did not communicate what was going on, it should be at bare minimum publicly known that they knew about this and when, at bare minimum. It would seem to me that this is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen, where it's not Almore County Public Schools that they pursue because the school system is afforded unfortunate protections in this scenario, but individuals are not.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Individuals are not. Comments continue to come in. More comments than I can keep up with right now. I'm going to try to get to him. Philip Reese is watching. He's the chair of the Republican committee in Almaro County, and he's got a few comments. Pilbary says at the school board retreat a couple weeks ago which I attended Jim Dylan Beck
Starting point is 00:37:52 Allison Spillman and even Dr. Chandra Hayes said that they did not know about the Sweeney investigation until June. So you got the interim superintendent Chandra Hayes, Allison Spillman, the resigned school board member and Jimbo Dylan Beck who opened Pandora's box Jimbo. They said at a recent retreat that they had no idea about this until the I Love Seville show talked about this in June. Philip Reese also says, I don't believe Rebecca Berlin is
Starting point is 00:38:23 the female school board member who knew in February because she put out a statement as chairwoman to Seville right now that the school board was not informed by Haas until June. Therefore, that leaves Judy Lee, Alan Osborne, and Kada Cuff is the only remaining women who have been informed by
Starting point is 00:38:38 Haas. Philip Rees, my guess is it's Kate cuffed, sorry, Kate a cuff because she was the chairwoman last year and had the longest and closest relationship with Matthew Haas. She's also the individual who abstain from a vote that demanded Matthew Haas's resignation
Starting point is 00:39:02 and excused herself from a meeting, from the school board meeting, where they made public they wanted Matthew Haas's resignation, and Kada Cuff was also in the emergency meeting via Zoom and remote to offer herself protection from media question following the meeting with the many media that were in attendance. Why do you do it via Zoom and remote?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Because you can say, oh, meeting's over, I'm out, I'm going back to my teen crumpets. I'm not going to be in person. The young and the restless is odd. and Victor Newman and Cricket and Jack, I need to watch them while drinking my tea and crumpets. Drinking my tea and eating my crumpets. I mean, Kada Koff has got some explaining to do.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Kada Kov has some explaining to do. And here's the next prop bet. We have two active prop bets. Judah is the lead instigator on the Allison Spillman prop bat. And Judah is the lead instigator for the Allison Spillman prop bet is betting in her next meeting that she will cry. We have a $75 bottle of scotch. Holly Foster very generously has offered to cover Judah Wickhauer's action on the McAllen 12,
Starting point is 00:40:23 750 milliliter. I'm going to go out of pocket if I lose this one. I'm saying Ali Spillman will not cry because Ali Spillman has cried entirely too much and she doesn't want to be remembered as a cry baby. So I'm going to say she will not cry. You're betting she will cry. That's one active prop bet. With the fixer, I gave the fixer four to one odds, my hundred against his 25, that Oshornomics will resign before her term is over on city council.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I say no, he says yes. I think Oceronomics is tough skin. She's not going to resign. I don't think Oceionomics is ever going to get into politics again. I think her political career is over after this council run. The next prop bet is this. Will Kate A Cuff resign? before her term is over.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Will Kate a cuff resign before her term is over? Judah Wickauer. Viewers and listeners, your thoughts. Put her up the feet. I'll relay I'm live on air. Will Kate a cuff resign before her term is ever? I've got to figure out when Katie Cuff's term is over. She's the Carol Thorpe, she's your district representative.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Kate a cuff, Judah Wickhauer. Show is yours. She was first elected in 2013. She won a new year. term in the district and the general, gosh, I need a, Carol Thorpe, what's your period on, how much time does K to Kuff have on the school board? K to Kuff, Jill Kavanaugh is texting me. I'm going to get to Joe Kavanaugh's tax in a matter of moments. Kada Kuff, 2013 school board, see, I should know this. Once her term expire, Queen of Jack Jewett, Carol Thorpe,
Starting point is 00:42:16 Does she resign, Judah Wickehr, before her term is over? I say no. You say no? You say no? With the information I've got, I say no. Someone who we think new in February, you say no? Viewers and listeners, your thoughts. Philip Rees is offering valuable intel.
Starting point is 00:42:54 You say no. Judah Wickehr. With the information I have right now. Are you willing to make a prop bet on this? No. Why? Because I don't have enough information. That's the whole point of a prop bet.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I know, and you love them and I don't. I'm sorry. You've got the wrong person on this side of the table to be running prop bets every other day. Jill Kavanaugh's got some texts that I need to read. Yep, I've seen Mike Sweeney's LinkedIn. I've checked it out myself. She asked the same.
Starting point is 00:43:43 First she says, keep cooking, you're on absolute fire. She says, Mike Sweeney transferred from Woodbrook to Holly Mead. She says, Director of Almorale County Public School Communications,
Starting point is 00:43:54 Jason Grant told me on the phone this week. Sweeney was transferred from Woodwork to Holly Mead because he and another co-worker could not get along. That's a direct quote from Jason Grant. That Sweeney was transferred
Starting point is 00:44:06 from Woodbrook to Holly Mead because Sweeney and another co-worker could not get along. God, what a great time to be a work. I can't get along with my coworker. I'll get transferred to another school. Don Gathers watching the program.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Judah Woodcower is the captain of the Don Gathers fan club. Don Gathers is photo on screen. I love Don Gathers. I'll be the vice captain of the Don Gathers fan club. Judah's the captain. Any and everyone who knew was obligated to say something. Otherwise, they're all complicit. That's how I feel.
Starting point is 00:44:42 That's how I feel Don Gathers. Carol Thorpe says, Thanks for reminding me. Kate a Cuff is my Jack Jewett school board representative. She has never gotten my vote. Kate ran and won unopposed last November. God, I love you, Carol Thorpe. Kate ran and won unopposed last November.
Starting point is 00:45:00 That means she's in the first year of a four-year term. Yeah. Prop that Cata Cuff resigns before her term is up. Anyone want to take that action for a 750 McAllen 12, viewer and listener? You're taking the side that she will not resigns. I will take the sign that Kada Cuff will resign. Anyone want that action? Anyone?
Starting point is 00:45:27 I'm crowdsourcing crop bets right now because my man Judah Whitcoward doesn't have the gamble that I want them to have. This has got to be the lead story of the week, does it not? This is a week in Charlottesville, Almaron, Central Virginia, where a 74-year-old innocent bystander was clipped while wearing a bow tie outside Wawa. This is a week in Charleston Almaro County where the Almor County Police Chief
Starting point is 00:45:51 announced this resignation while staying on medical leave the entire week, the entire year. Sean Reeves is just like, I don't want to come back here. I'm about medical leave the whole time. I'm getting paid by y'all. I'm just going to resign in October. This is a week where Sammy Sanders, Sammy said,
Starting point is 00:46:09 I'm going to give $3 million to a group out of Arizona to run one floor of a homeless shelter because no one locally can do it. Yep. This is a week where they said they're going to torch tent town, and all the tenants of tent town will have their tents torched. Did they say that, really? September 1, tent down is torch.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Tent down is torn down. It's torched down. Tenets, tomorrow, Tudaloo. Holy bejevas! Ladies and gentlemen, are you following the news cycle? Of course you are, because you watch and listen to the I Love Sevo show. Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company, nearly 63 years in business. They are very close to launching a marketplace forward new division, a service vertical that's always been a part
Starting point is 00:47:06 of Charlottesville Sanitary Supply that will have its own brand, its own website, its own recognition, much like we helped them with with Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company, online at at Charlottesville Swimmingpool Company.com.

John and Andrew Vermillion, A-plus people. A-plus people. Andrew Vermillion is about to have a fantastic nuptials with a beautiful, beautiful woman.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Tie-in-the-knot. Tye in the knot. Carol Forpe. Kata Cuff is in that strong school board pipeline, which produced Dennis Rooker and Diantha McKeel. As Kate a cuff, has she just... As Kate a cuff just kiboshed any board supervisor chances for her. Katea cuff is mysteriously, mysteriously absent from the most significant emergency Almaral County School Board meeting of the last few generations.
Starting point is 00:48:19 And chooses instead to participate via Zoom so she does not miss the two. the Tuesday episode of the Young and the Restless and General Hospital instead of in-person where she faces accountability and questions asked by people in attendance like Philip Reese and the 19-year-old reporters that work for NBC29 and CBS19 for 12 months before taking a new job.

I'm waiting to see where we go next. John Blair, I'll add this. I have no idea why Chief Reeves retired,
Starting point is 00:49:43 but in my opinion, Sean Reeves is a great guy in chief. Imagine if you were Camille Stewart. She is thrown into the interim police role at one of the most difficult times. All right. Next headlines, what do you got here at the 127 marker? Oh, we got the demolished Artful Lodger building. Have you guys been by the Artful Lodger, the Livery Stable Artful Lodger on Market Street? Put that headline on screen.

He's still a part of it. A hotel in the shadows of the Omni. A hotel in a hotel in a hotel.

Would they be filled with any Albaro County school board members? in that rage room. Are you advocating murder? No.

Starting point is 00:54:46 It's boring. It's not boring. It's boring. We make our living in this. It's not boring. All right, I'll give you a little tidbit here. The Charlottesville Area Association Realtors released their second quarter report.
Starting point is 00:55:05 You may not want to hear this. Maybe you want to hear this. Maybe you don't want to hear this. Every jurisdiction in Central Virginia, every jurisdiction in Central Virginia, the second quarter of 2026 versus the second quarter of 2025, every jurisdiction median values went down year over year, quarter over quarter. 2025, Q2, 2026 Q2, every jurisdiction down. Nelson County, the biggest,
Starting point is 00:55:34 it's the biggest loser, I'm sorry. Isn't that kind of a good thing? Is it a good thing that people own homes that have lost value over the time, over the course of a year? Is that a good thing, Judah? Yeah, obviously that's not like the best thing, but is unchecked growth better? There's a difference between unchecked growth
Starting point is 00:55:59 and expected gradual growth. And something that appreciates and value your house to the tune of 3 to 8% a year is good. A house that is unchecked in value appreciation, double-digit year-over-year-over-year compounding, leads to gentrification and significantly unaffordable tax exposures and bases. And haven't we seen quite a bit of that? So is it surprising? I'm asking.
Starting point is 00:56:30 I don't know. Is it surprising that there's a bit of a pullback? Is it surprising that there's a bit of a pullback when the population is increasing? Is there a surprising when there's a bit of a pullback when AstraZeneca's executive? are now moving to the area, and they're doing so with $125,000 starting salaries, and that's just the entry point. Is it surprising when the data science school is attracting people to the area, and the Paul Manning Biotech Institute is attracting people to the area, and the University of Virginia is admitting more students than they've ever had in their history? Yeah, I'd say it's surprising.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Elmero County, of all the jurisdictions in central Virginia, saw the most marginal median value depreciation at just under one point. second quarter this year for second quarter last year. Nelson County, you're talking a five-point loss, five-point swing and medium values. Fluvana County, three points, green three points. Charlottesville City, two points. This is not good. This is not good.
Starting point is 00:57:35 And it coincided, ladies and gentlemen, the second quarter of this year with the second quarter of last year, whether you want to admit this or not, and maybe I'm bringing some politics into this, the mix here with a war in Iran where gas is ridiculously expensive at four bucks and we're past the point
Starting point is 00:57:53 we are past the point and you don't want to hear this some viewers and listeners we are past the point of Trump made the right decision to end Iran to put Iran in check he has not done that yet right okay you cannot use the argument we've got 60 years of terror
Starting point is 00:58:14 because of Iran. You're too young to remember, Jerry. This has been going on all year. He's negotiating with the scummiest of the scum that will say something to him today and do the exact opposite tonight. It does very much seem like they're playing him on a set of puppet strings.
Starting point is 00:58:36 They're drawing this out because they know he's got limited time left in his term and whoever replaces him is going to be softer on them than Trump. So they are playing him like a fiddle, and as a result, the collateral damage is escalated fuel, and guess what? Gas affects everyone.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It affects groceries. It affects housing, real estate values. Who is going to buy a crib, 45 minutes from the epicenter of employment, only to pump $4 a gallon gas into their car and watch their household budget spit out through a muffler. You want to know why Outer County real estate is softening, Nelson County, Fluvanna County, Louisiana County, Green County,
Starting point is 00:59:26 because it's $4 a gallon gas, and they're driving 25, 30, 40, 50 minutes one way to work. That's why it's softening. You want to know why we're trying to rub two nickels and make it a quarter? because groceries are through the roof. Electricity is going up. Insurance is going up. Cost of goods are going up. Always.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Everything. It's all tied to gas. And you don't want to hear that, but that's what it is. Conan Owen, there's going to be a board meeting room at I-Smash so you can go do some bidness and then let go some steam. I don't know what that means. Maybe I-Smash can work a deal with the No King's Protester. for one of their events along Route 29, Vanessa Parkhill. Hmm.
Starting point is 01:00:26 The DSA of Charlestville can go to Ice Smash. Just don't be there when Tom Perriello is. DSA of Charlottesville, because he don't want to be seen next to you. Someone said this yesterday in the feed. Tom Perrello is doing everything he humanly can to be as moderate and neutral as a candidate as possible, including asking media to not publish photos of him next to the Democratic Socialists of America, Charlestville chapter. He wants to be a down-the-middle neutral, but that's not what his voting would suggest,
Starting point is 01:01:04 his platform would suggest, his ideology would suggest, or his former employer would suggest. And I'm not saying vote for Johnny Mack, and I'm not saying vote for Tommy P. I'm just calling how I see it. Carly Wagner watching the program. Ideally, we are building more affordable housing, but our existing stock is holding its value, if that's possible. That's the best news for both buyers and sellers. Tom Sargill.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Were Jimbo and Alley, the only two members at the meeting attended by Philip Reese? What did the others say to that same question? He says, Philip Reese's comments are based on Jimbo and Spillman, are based on Jimbo and Spillman being truthful. Spillman has shown that ain't true. As Turning Point at Western Amoral High School, Jimbo's interview was a shaky interview. Performance leads one-to-wonder about him.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Judah stands by Jimbo. You stand by Jimbo, right? As much as I can, yeah. It's not like we're bosom buddies or anything. But he does go to my church. And from what I know about him, I don't see him lying or playing games in order to be... I don't think Jimbo is a liar.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I think Jimbo is completely out of his depth. Yeah, most likely. I think you've got a guy who's a rookie school board member that got on the job at a time where you need to be nuanced and sophisticated. And Jimbo does not have political savvy. I don't know if any of the, do any of the board members really have a whole lot of political savvy? I think if there's someone that has political savvy on that board. If there's someone who has political savvy on the board. If, if. Big, big if, right? If it's a cuff for Berlin. I think Judy Lee is meek as a mouse. I think Allison Spillman is shown a tendency to be unstable.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Not to mention also out of her depth. extremely unstable. I think Bob Beard is a retired old man that is bored and has time on his hands and saw an opportunity to pursue a seat in unopposed fashion, and now he's dealing with a septic tank that is exploded and leaking in the backyard of his Ivy Wesley home. I think Jimbo wanted to be the conservative voice, Alan Osborne. Warren would rather have a beer at James River Brewery than go through this?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Wouldn't most of us. That's 71 straight minutes. That's the talk show. This is, it's ratings season coming up. We're number one at top of the ratings books, and it ain't even close. We'll give some love to Stanley Martin Holmes. Did you know Stanley Martin Holmes has built 60? It's built 600 plus homes
Starting point is 01:04:21 over the last two years in Central Virginia. Did you know Stanley Martin Holmes is bringing nearly 50 homes to market in the Fry Springs neighborhood? 80 or so homes to market outside Glenmore and Breezy Hill. No one is designing, developing, building more condos town homes and single-family detached homes in central Virginia than Stanley Martin Holmes. And they're doing it in an honest, communicative, trustworthy capacities and fashions.
