On this pre-Thanksgiving edition of the Dave Allen Show on 580 Live, Dave welcomes three West Virginia State University students — Madeline Bailey, Kylie Hanna, and Tabby — who lay out plans for January’s WVSU Orchestra Masquerade Gala, complete with jazz performances, student ensembles, dinner, dancing, and a silent auction. The group also talks communications careers, music at State, and building campus engagement. Later, Dave shifts to the retail front with Tony the Taylor, who breaks down Small Business Saturday, Charleston shopping trends, online-to-store buying habits, mall decline, and why local retail continues to grow. A lively holiday-week show loaded with community updates, local business insights, and a whole lot of laughter.

On this edition of the Dave Allen Show on 580 Live, Dave welcomes Rich the Realtor for a Thanksgiving-week conversation that starts with baked beans, Cornish hens, and green bean casserole — and quickly shifts into the real estate realities facing West Virginians. Rich breaks down the holiday market slowdown, highlights several Charleston and Putnam County listings, and explains contingencies, financing traps, and why young buyers struggle with debt-to-income barriers. The show then pivots to tax questions, 50-year mortgages, property ownership frustrations, and a lively segment with Greg Thomas on political recruiting, statehouse dysfunction, and the 2026 governor rumors swirling around Jim Justice and Patrick Morrissey. Small Business Saturday previews and Rick Cavender’s downtown shop-local push close out the hour.

The conversation starts on the upcoming NFL start for Shedeur Sanders - The Browns will be the Browns, but will Sanders be any good? 

Plus, the conversation continues on sports betting and finding some way to seperate the players away from it. Can it be done?
