  Speaker 4: Uh, that's it for me. It just got some ankle issues,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Achilles issues that I don't really want to deal with,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and I got other things going on now. So just
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: time time to be home.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: You feel good about that decision?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I feel very good about it. I got what I
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: wanted out of it. I think I accomplished a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: more than a lot of people, and myself thought I
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: was going to get out of basketball, and I have
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: no regrets about it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Awesome, it's a good run. That's a nice run.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: France, Italy, Ukraine, Japan. And you went to your thirty
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: You played basketball till you were thirty, early on the dot.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome professional basketball.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So physically, ankles just wearing out achilles, you would have
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to have surgery if you were to keep going.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, left ankle. I got my ankle bones deformed and
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: banging up against my tibu, which wouldn't be a huge surgery.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Just had to shave it. But I got a bone,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: another bone deformity growing into my right achilles where it attaches,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and they would have to sever my achilles and shave
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the bone and then reattach it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So that's a yeah, it skipped that one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's a year. It's a year of recovery anyway.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So but it doesn't affect if you're just walking.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Around now, It doesn't affect normal life.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Did it hurt this season?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I had issues all year.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I never could get it right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing they could do about it. They you know
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: how much pain did you play?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It hurt?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Did it hurt worse than having your arm in two
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: separate places playing against Gonzaga?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Well, thankfully their rules are not. Thankfully this year their
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: rules are a little more stringent. I couldn't get the
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: three injections before every game, So no, it didn't. It
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: hurt worse than that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: There's a statute of limitations over on this three injections
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: before the game.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: What are they going to do now?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Nothing? So you were doing that when you were playing here,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You were getting three in your shoulder.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Ah No, I was getting one of a butt, just
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: a regular toward all shot and then I don't even
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: know what they put in my shoulder.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It was a painful one. How often was that happen? Before?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Every game?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Before every game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Year after my after I tour it in the Big
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: twelve to first game of the Big twelve tournament, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: then yeah, every game after that, I stopped warming up.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I was just getting injections, trying to get it loose.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: What happened remarkable, Nate. How did you feel? How much
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: pain were you in when those after the game, when
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you're not feeling as much pain, so you're doing what
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you normally do. How much pain were you in when
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the injections wore off?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Oh a lot?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I mean once those were off, you just kind of
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: feel everything. Yeah, you put it through third in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: game and through all that process. So once those were out,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: had won fun. That's why the back to backs. When
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament, you played Saturday, Monday, Sunday, Tuesday, whatever
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: they hurt.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: How many games did you play this season?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The sixty? How many? Sixty?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Every Saturday, Sunday and a few Wednesdays.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: God, you appeared in all sixty.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Fifty nine of them?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Why COVID one, So that's the only game I missed,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: but no, I didn't.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: They have an iron Man Award in Japan. You should
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: have gotten it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well, he was like that, here, let's see, just noted.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in my career, I've missed.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Six games in six years.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Six years.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: No, no, since I school. Really, I played in every
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: single game in college. I broke my foot in high schools.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You would have been the all time scoring leader at Morgantown.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I probably sure on broke it anyway.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least you would have had for a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Hey, you've been out of the country, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they have this thing now called load management.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I can't do it. I've practiced. I didn't miss a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: single practice game.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I just feel bad.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What do they always say?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: The best ability is availability?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Would they have sent you home if you started to, uh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: not practice in not play.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: M I don't know. I didn't want to go down
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: that road because the contracts technically guaranteed unless you miss
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: practices or so, they technically would have to be the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: ones telling me I'm too hurt to play, right, And
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the translations I got were It's okay, gosh, keep going.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: How was the communication there, because that was Japan or Italy,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: those are all those are all one thing. Japan's a
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: whole different culture, different deal.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I was completely different. The language bearer was much tougher.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Even the majority of the players, like Japanese players I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: played with, couldn't speak English. We had a translator and
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: our assistant coach spoke really good English, so they would
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: translate everything. But yeah, just communicating talking through things was
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: not hard.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: That was the hardest one by far, by far.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fascinating. Just think of where you were European countries,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you go to the Far East. I mean, as we say,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just you know, wrapping the whole thing up like he's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a globalist, that is, That's that. Those are life experiences.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I hit all the countries I wanted to play in,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: which were Italy and Japan.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So does West Virginia still have some of our former
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: student managers in that Japanese league you were playing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Taka Hero Maury, the one that was here when
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I was. He was a head coach in my league.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He's a head coach.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Now about how many times you play them?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Six times?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: We only won one?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: They're doing good? They made the playoffs. I mean, it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: all over now, But yeah, they exceeded expectations. He had
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: a really good year.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: That had to be weird though, You're you're lining up
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: to play and you're looking down there he is. You
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: guys were together here and you're there facing off. In Japan,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: it's i'll talk here. I don't want to speak for him.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: But the way they play is very different than the
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: other Japanese team.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Is that very rough and rugged? You think you might
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: have learned that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Picked up on a couple of things.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Fouled every possession because they couldn't call.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone that's right? How about that?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: How was the how was the game? Was the game
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: different there? And if so?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: How uh? Yeah, it's very different. So in Japan you're
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: only allowed two Americans on the court at the same time,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: so you have three Japanese guys out there at all times,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: and the Americans kind of are looked towards to score
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the ball more, take control of the game more. Wherein
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: you're I mean, and you could have five Americans on
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the court and they're Italians know I how to play
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: very well because they've grew up in that. So it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: more team woring than your a lot of team playing
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's not team worriing in Japan, but
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: it's just different. Guys are looked at to do different things,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and it's coached different. A lot of European coaches go
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: over there and struggle because they're trying to play European
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: ball and it just doesn't work as well.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: How would you describe the style there.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: It's a little faster, more up tempo.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's about more isolation.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, more isolation. Or you've not run as many set plays,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: you're not running as many motion offenses. It's just kind
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: of fast break makes something happen quick. And so would
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: you post up or would you shoot? Set up on
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the wing and shoot threes. I was like fifty to
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: fifty this year, a lot more post up than usual
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: because if you get a switch, you got a Japanese guy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Any of they're just small. But the majority of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Americans they do hire are centers and for big men
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: because that's just what they don't have available to them. Yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: every team had a guy six eleven seven big monsters.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: The games called how they call the games, uh.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: For the guards, very TICKI techy for the big men.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: You can hack whoever you want let it go.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Did you get teed up ever?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Not one?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: No?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: No, did you complainly?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Just figure they wouldn't know what you're saying anyway, so
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you couldn't know what I was saying.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: So I mean I would say something to them and
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: they just looked at me and then kind of put
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: an endo my argument.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: All right, I think they probably knew what you were saying,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: but they were probably.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Just any trash talk. No really, no, very little.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I mean between Americans sometimes, but Japanese guys are way
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: too respectful.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Now, what about your former student manager, who's the head coach?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I would I would think at some point if his
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: team kept following you that you did a drive by
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and said, like, dude, what are we doing?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Get him off? Did you get off that? Oh?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, I love the way they played.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I'd rather games be like that rather than just calling everything.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going across any other big twelve players, anybody
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: we'd know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I don't have to think about that. Not Big twelve.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Matt Harms played to Purdue. Yeah, shoot, I might think.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I mightna think old school biggiest justin Burnell, oh Connecticut yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: yea yeah. Saint John's Okay, Saint John's Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, God,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I'd have to think about that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So, of all the places that you played you were
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: full health and in your peak prime, where would you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: go back? Where did you love to play the most? Oh?
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Italy? For sure? It just felt Yeah, I mean it
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: got to the point it felt like a second home
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: to me. It didn't feel like I'm moving somewhere I'm
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: unfamiliar with. Yeah, you know, I could speak a little
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: bit enough to go to a restaurant and figure out
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: my way around and figure out knew that the grocery stores,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: new to drive, just knew how everything worked. So it
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: just felt comfortable.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that counts. I mean, you're he's
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: a citizen of the country, so he can't answer that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You got the passport, don't.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: You just got the passport, So I'm not even going
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: to use it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Sorry, when you go back over, you can flick it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I had that nice Maroon, You got the Marie now
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I know. So I would think that because you had
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: good experience there, you probably at some point go back.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'll definitely go back daily.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if I ever have free time or one trible
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: that's where I want to go. I mean there's parts
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: of Italy League. I haven't been to room.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, all the time.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Three years, haven't been in the room. My girlfriend Lucky
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: went nine different times and I didn't go one time.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Did you ever fly through and just connect out of room? Yeah?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Connect you very familiar with, but you never never got
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: to see any of the sites, never got the walk
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: around there. And it's something I really want to see
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: because that old historical stuff is just awesome to me.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: What'd you learn about yourself as a pro basketball player?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Number one? I learned I can leave here and be okay. Uh.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: That was a big concern of mine because I mean
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: even in high school going to fight to go away
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to like when I try for the national team, had
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to go stay in Colorado for a week. Didn't like it,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: just shut down, kind of didn't play well. Just didn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: like being there, going to camps, any kind of camp
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: like that. Just never really liked being gone from here
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: for too long. So you know, that first year was rough.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: The second year was rough, but that was mainly because
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: it was Ukraine. And then it got easier after that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: So that was the biggest takeaway I got from it
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: was just growing as a person.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, learned a ton man, Yeah, learn a ton Like now,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I think you just gonna have this reservoir of confidence
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that comes with that. So no matter what you deal
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: with going forwards, Like, dude, I've been in Ukraine, I've
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: been in Japan, lived in, lived in just like I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: got this. Yeah, And I think if you don't do
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: those kinds of things, then you probably lack hoppy when
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you agree. If you don't have world experiences, that sometimes
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that may hinder your confidence.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So just what Nate said, you know, when you travel,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: it just increases. There's anxiety, there's fears, things happen. You know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: you're a long way from home, But that increases your
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: confidence significantly. Just life simple.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Common just figuring out to go to a grocery store
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: and how the checkout works, and going to a restaurant,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: figuring out how they seat you, how you order, how
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: you pay, just all kinds of different things. It just
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: makes you put you in uncomfortable situations. You have a
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: little anxiety about it, and you get through it and
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: everything's fine.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: So how did you handle that?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Stuff.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Did you have somebody with you to help you or
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: did you just roll in and figure it out ask
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: for help?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Most of the time I had somebody show me the
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: first time, and then you kind of figure it out.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: It's really nice when Lucky's with me because she's not
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: scared of any of that stuff. Like if a restaurant's full,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I'll stand outside and she'll go in.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And you'll get the table, get a table and give
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: me a wave.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: And that's that's the only point we're all going.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's nice. As you all know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it is difficult. The language Beryer makes it difficult. However, However,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: if you go to a restaurant, they know you want
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to eat. If you go to a hotel, they know
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you want a room. You know, if you go to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a bank, they know you want to do something.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: So there is life advice from Hoppy Well that just walk.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Into a bathroom, right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be tough, but still you it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: not like you're trying to buy property, no, you know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I mean I haven't attempted that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: As a citizen, though you get some you'd be able
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Get it done, yea.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: When you look food Italy.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: No, No, I mean in Japan, it's just incredible and
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you can get it just walking down the street and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: just get a stick of it. Just keep going, Kobe Beef.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It's as good as people say, dude.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But you can't either lot the butter the fat content,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and it will will knock you out right.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Really, I didn't have too much of a problem.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: A high level athlete. He's burning that off professional athlete.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't definitely can't sit down eat a twenty
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: two ounce right key bone of it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I had too much one night, and it
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: was just like yourself. You thought it was just like, what
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the hell was that? I just ate three sticks of butter?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: You ate too much?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: That's it was a first. I probably should have wrote
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the date down and marked it. Okay, let's go back
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: back basketball wise. So like you're this gangly kid over
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: at South Middle School and way back, Yeah, go all
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the way back, gangly kids South Middle School, and you've
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: got these big long levers and people say, kid's gonna chance,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you gotta be he's going to be tall. But there's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: one thing to be young and tall, and then then
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and then, but there's a lot of young thought young, tall,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: thin kids. But you did it, dude, like you played
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: major college basketball when people said, I don't know coming
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: out of Morgantown High, Yeah, I'm not sure. You know?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Is he soft? Is he not soft? Like the metamorphous
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that you went through, damn near the the caterpillar to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the butterfly. To me, that's like, that's your story. Like
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you became questionably soft coming into college to a hard
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: nosed enforcer in a very big, physical basketball conference and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: then you go play a half a dozen years of
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: pro ball. That's a hell of a story. Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I think the questionably soft tag I was given to
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: was mainly because of my how skinny I was.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was skinny. I agree with you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I was always I mean I wasn't allowed to be soft.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I know, oh yeah, one hundred percent, but but I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to be soft.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: That was always in me. But getting in with Andy
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Ketler and putting weight on and being able to do
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: something with that and then just endure the big twelve
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and hugs and all of that goes in with that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: It's definitely was a huge change.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: But your We've said this about you before. I think
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: your your ability to adapt to your role was pretty wild.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: So perimeter based in high school to interior based enforcer,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: bang defense, rebound, then back to offensively really skilled when
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: you got to the professional level overseas. That's a pretty
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: wild swing in what your responsibilities were, what you were
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: asked to do, and what your game was and became,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: don't you think? Yeah?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: I do, And honestly, I think that's something that with
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: the way college basketball is now, people are going to
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: lack when they get to a professional level or anything
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: else they have. They're not going to have the ability
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: to do different things and succeed in different roles as
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: you have to be not everybody that goes in plays
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: in Europe is the start of the team. You got
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: to go back to being a role player. And part
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: of what made me adaptable in every situation I was
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: in was, like you said, when I came in, I
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: was a perimeter player, just shot threes my freshman year
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: and that completely changed because the system changed and what
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: was needed of me changed and instead of oh I
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: don't want to do.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: That, you just have that choice. Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: So I adapted, found a way to make it happen,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: and by my senior year was successful.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Doing it, Yeah, and then went back the other way.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: When I went back the other way because that's what
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: was needed that year. In certain years it wasn't needed,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: and I did other things.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty remarkable. It's a great story. But you're right
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: is because you were thin, people couldn't project out what
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you were going to be. Yeah.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I mean I thought I would go from one hundred
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and ninety pounds my senior year to two forty.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: And when you're six, When you're six nine and play
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: on the perimeter, there isn't a lot of banging to
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: go on to label you as tough. Right, So some
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: of that's did.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You ever have did you have or have a moment
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: in college where he said I ain't into this, I'm done,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: or oh yeah you did.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Oh my sophomore year I wanted to quit. There's a point.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I forget what game it was. I was sitting on
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the bench struggling injuries and just wasn't playing well, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: just I was like, why why am I doing this?
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I'm taking a lot of heat from people on the
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: outside for no reason, not no reason. There was a
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: very good reason, but I don't know. It just wears
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: on you that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Just stuck it, just.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Just stuck with it, with it, I mean, just because
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: it got hard. You don't just quit. That's just never
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: what I wanted to be. I didn't want to be
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: known as a quitter. I didn't. I mean, that's just
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: something you got to live with your whole life. When
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: you quit playing a sport or quit doing something, you
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: got to be able to live with it the rest
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: of the time. And I just kind of looked at
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: it at a longer point of view than just what's
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: happening right now. And that's why I went back and
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: played again after I retired after college. I just didn't
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: feel like I got everything out of it that I
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: wanted to get out of it, and now I do.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: So that's why I feel comfortable with where I'm at now.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: That's pretty wild too.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: We kind of jump past that that period, and yeah,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: there was a lot going on for you. But that's
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: that's pretty hard to do too. Step away for two
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: years and then restart the thing and get back in it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Easy, no, And uh, you know, I don't know I
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: still played, you know, I'd go over and practice a lot, actually,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: so I knew I could still play, just had to
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: get back in shape. I don't know how much you
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: remember that time, but I did get up to two seventy.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: You know what, I kind of do recall that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got pretty quid today.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: What are you now?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: As you said, all right, I'm two twenty five, but yeah,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I when I went to France, I think I was
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: two sixty, and when I came home for France, I
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: was too twenty.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Wow, you lost forty there.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, wasn't making much money. So I was eating chicken
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: and potatoes everything.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Right, I remember that they do potatoes those they do
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: do those potatoes well there though, as Jacque poup pond thing,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: we kind.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Of market just right down the street, down the street.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, spent ten bucks on chicken and potatoes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you have you said? Did you weren't making
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: much money? And you were not. We don't have. You
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: don't have to tell us how much you were making.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: That's your business. But did you at any point did
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you make what you would call like, oh, that's pretty
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: good money. Did you make good money?
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah?
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Did you last five years?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: I mean after that first year, but I mean that
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: first year.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You haven't played for two years. He had shoulders surgery.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows what you're doing.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: You get that entry.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Low do what you did? Yeah, go back to when
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you said you were thinking about uh sophomore, you were
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: taking heat. I remember one of the television shows at
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that time when you were here that you read nasty
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: tweets really that were directed at you. They collected them
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: all and then you read them on air. So there
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: was a lot of that, wasn't there. There was a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: lot of that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I can't say for sure, but I think I got
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: more than anybody because you're from the age from here,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: people already think I was just given because of different circumstances.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So you know, I got it, I understood it. But still,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're nineteen. Where's sure?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Absolutely?
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Looking back? Who cares?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: That's a much more mature perspective than nineteen year olds have.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Who cares about the misspelled texts from somebody's basement?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Just that's it?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Why would someone do that? Why would someone text?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: That's a whole different conversation.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There's a whole there's probably multiple shows as to why
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: people do that. The short is it makes them feel
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: better about themselves.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Anybody ever come up, but anybody come up to your
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: face and say it no.
• 24:58

  Speaker 2: training facilities because you know, again you're talking about injuries
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: were dealing with. I mean, how was that over there?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Here's a fun fact for you. My personal trainer, or
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: not a personal trainer, our team trainer, our head trainer,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: graduated from West Virginia University.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course, why wouldn't.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: They studied under the tutelage of DUC matter.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Did you know that before you got there.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I found that out there that is a West Virginia connection.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Not many people are aware that aren't in the world
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of athletic training. But wvu's program is nationally renowned, world
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: renowned and getting ready to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary of existence.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: That was John Spiker fifty years ago was the founding
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: father of that program. And we've got more NFL athletic trainers,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we got dudes in the NBA, we got people all
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: over the place and including in Japan.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Come a long way since those ammonia tablets and fema.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus, they still use.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: A hydroculator though every time I got something wrong, my
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: mom tells me to put horse liniment on it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you're a third right, So I asked you this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: recently when we were just chatting on the phone. You
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: would coach in the future if everything hadn't changed the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: way that it has changed to become what it has become.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Is that fair?
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: That's fair. I don't know at what level or at
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: what I would want to do, but to me, the
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: point of college sports is to get a kid in
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: when he's eighteen and develop them into someone who can
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: be successful after playing I mean after playing professionally or
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: at whatever else they do in their life, right, that's
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: just not the point of it anymore. You're going out
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: and getting a full new team every year, getting twelve
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: new guys in and just trying to throw band aids
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: on things, and you just don't have the control or
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the relationships. That is what attracts me to college sports.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I think, I don't know, I can go on a
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: whole rant about college sports. They're just going in the
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: wrong direction. So it's hard to care as much as
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: a fan. A lot of fans develop relationships with certain players,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: certain guys, certain qualities about people, and that's just gone.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I get that and that that is
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: a common feeling. But let me let me be provocative
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and ask you this. You played West Virginia, had a
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: successful career at that time. People are paying them fromenous
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: amount of money for tickets, they're sponsors, coaches are making
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: a bunch of money. Would it have been fair for
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you to get a portion of that? Say some of that?
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm not saying that's unfair. I don't think there's
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: anything wrong with that. I just think there should be
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: more limitations on the movement, the movement, I don't you
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: made a decision for a reason. If your coach leaves, yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: transfer fine, nobody has any arguments with that. But just
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: because you want to, I don't know, to me, sign
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: a contract three years, four years, whatever you guys agree
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: to yeah, I mean you could even put money stipulations
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: in it. And if you play this, will you get
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: this money? If you play this, will you get this money?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Like what?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know. There's a whole lot of things you
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: could do with it. But I just think guys coming
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: one year and leaving is not good for anybody.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I do think you know, if you if you try
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: and back yourself out and listen to conversations going on
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: around this, I do think that's where we're headed. I
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: think there is a general perception or acceptance now that
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the money is what the money is. I don't know
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: how you can reasonably argue that these guys shouldn't get paid.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the I don't know if there
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: ever was a reasonable argument, there's certainly not now. The movement,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and more and more importantly, the constant movement, the twenty
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: four to seven potential for movement, to me, seems like,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: that's what you've got to get rained in in some form.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And there does have to be the ability to get
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: out of the agreement you signed when your coach leaves,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: as we just saw at West Virginia, that changes that
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: equation significantly. But it seems to me if you talk
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: to folks, that's what causes the angst more so than
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the dollars.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: And you have in no other college sport. I mean
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not to college. No other sport do you have
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: that you can do?
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, right no, you sign a contractor you go
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: I get nobody's signing contracts right now. I'm not saying
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: about this about right now. I just think that's the
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: only healthy way for things to improve. And I think
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: on top of that, you're gonna have to get the
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: conferences together. I just don't know how you do it
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: with the whole NCAA. But if you're going to share revenue,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: it has to be split equally between schools in a conference,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: and each team or whatever has a cap on what
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: they can spent or you're going to lose all competitive
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: nature of it. Nobody can compete with schools that have
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: unlimited money. Texas A and M can throw whatever money
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: they wanted. Anybody Oklahoma, Texas like these schools can just
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: pay more.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have self policing. And this will be
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: old news by the time you're listening to this. But literally,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: as we're recording here, report comes out that the nc DOUBLEA,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: So Charlie Baker, who's the head of the NCUBA, made
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: an announcement this afternoon we're recording Tuesday afternoon May that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the NCAA will give away its enforcement of amateurism to
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the power conferences, the SEC, the Big Ten, the Big twelve,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and the ACC will now be in charge of enforcing
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the House settlement terms, including the NIL clearinghouse and the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: revenue sharing cap, not the nc DOUBLEA. Wow, so significant.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: That's what we kind of always thought that they eventually
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the power for conferences, we're gonna control this. Now the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: question becomes, what's that Look, So.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Here's what's significant.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: That's on the heels of a report from Yahoo Sports
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: that came out earlier about this, So that's kind of
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: trailing the report that was out there. So a couple
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: things to me significantly. We'll move on to something else.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: The fact that all of the power fors are together
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: in this that is significant, and that's important, and I
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: think number one, but number two, if you read into
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: this a little bit and go read some of those articles,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: guess what the big sticking point is with everybody. Guess
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: what everybody's having angst with the clearinghouse. The clearinghouse has
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: raised a lot of red flags from some people, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: who could have seen that coming. So there's a lot
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: of work to do. And this isn't just a blanket
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: victory here that you've moved out of the NCAA. Those
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: institutions still have to decide to follow the rules. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the next hurdle that's coming that group is putting together
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: documents reportedly that will supersede state laws that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Are in place.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Some of these states have put state laws in place
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: that say they are not going to be held to
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: NCAA rules or this group's rules. This particular group is
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: now saying they're going to put rules in that say
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: they supersede state laws. Well, you think some lawyers will
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: have some.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Fun with that saying that.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of lawyering still to go on,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: but maybe a little bit of movement that you've got
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: all the power force at least coming together.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: But as you said, the clearing house is the is
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: the way around the revenue sharing correctly, right, So that's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like if schools are basically sharing the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: same amount of revenue, but if you can get around
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: it through well, yes, this is what this student athlete,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: this is what not student athlete, this is what this
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: athlete is valued at.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the point some that this organization is
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: saying that should help. The clearinghouse is there to help
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: normalize that and not let you pay. As you know
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I've always argued, is there's no way that thing stands
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: up in court number one and number two if you
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: read in that there's some specific rules within the clearinghouse
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: that say if it comes from say a publicly traded company,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: they aren't subject to the clearinghouse, and those publicly traded
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: companies can do whatever they want. So there's a lot
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: lot of runway left here to get to some sort
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: of agreement.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: But to Nathan's point, we're moving in that direction hopefully,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: because you're right, if all basketball becomes in football for
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: that matter, but in basketball, people can get their hands
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: around this a little bit more. If all this becomes
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: is a six month TBT team. Then guess what this
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: thing is going to go the route of the TBT
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: and people are going to go like this after a while.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Don't care, don't care, don't really, don't see money to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: watch them, don't see that. I've seen that show. Don't care.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: We've got to get some more teeth into this thing
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: for a little bit more so it can be more solid.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Well, at the same time, the cost of the fan
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: participation sure continues to run.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, I talk about this all the time.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: That final four team that West Virginia had in twenty
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: ten would have never been together. Nope, John be as
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: great teams would have never been together. Your team that
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: had a great run. I mean you guys would have got
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: picked apart. There would have been guys gone. That's what
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: stinks to me. That's what hurts me is I would
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: just like to have an opportunity to keep teams together.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: If guys make money, I'm totally cool with that. But
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: it's just this bouncing. It's unbelievable.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, at the same time, just before,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: when we were having our pre show meeting, we were
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: You, we really don't have pre show meetings. No, don't
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Don't bring that name up because that
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: was something Hall of fame, Hall of famish.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll talk about it later in the break room.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, you can bring up someone else.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: We were talking about, say what a great year he had,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: and we all enjoyed watching Jevon Small, and we'll remember
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Javon Small for a long long time. For here's a
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: player you never would have had had if you didn't
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: have this mobility.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I know that's right, I know, I know.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: I don't think one guys great year outweighs seeing a
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: group come together and build over four years to become
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: a successful team. I think I think people can remember
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: the final four longer th they remember Jevan. That's no offensively, Han.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: But Florida Gator fans had a pretty good year. They
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: wanted old Natty, were hanging Natty here. You're gonna have
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: fun with it.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: You think that can happen?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: You can put a team together, yes, yeah, And I
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: and I do think side of that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: You could do it, Nate, you could.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Had West Virginia been been in the old rules with
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: a coach leaving after one year, and the and the
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: transition from the from Hugs to Josh to Darren to Ross.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: In the old rules, we'd be staring down a long
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: time of waiting to rebuild the thing, and now you
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: have the ability to restart it a lot more quickly
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: than you did.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: You can build it back now, dude, you can build
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: it back.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: I'm saying a school like I is going to have
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: to have just an absolut the incredible one off. Holy crap,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: we got lucky because as soon as we have a
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: team good enough to go to the Sweet sixteen, guess what,
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: they're all gone.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, player retention is gonna be huge. I agree, I agree.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Be all right, unless unless rules wise, we come up
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: with something that puts a little bit more stickiness into
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: their retention. It will.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Everybody, just chill out. It'll get there, just takes some time.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Three guys will get there.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is We'll be fine.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game. Brought to us by Gomart,

  Speaker 3: there yesterday. I didn't get my usual pump, was a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: little bit bummed out with gas. I had to go
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: to a different pump. Oh my god, they'd always get
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: the same pump. I had to go down four packed

• 49:08
  Speaker 1: text line, as you saw there is always open. We
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: got stuff that is that is going on, and we
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: begin with this one. This is a first on Three Guys,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: The Three Guys gender reveal. Baby has finally arrived. Nathan,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: we announced a gender reveal of a listener's baby on
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: this podcast. It's been a while ago, and now we
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: are delighted and thrilled to announce that Carson Reid Brinkley
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: was born on May seventh, two thirty nine, in the afternoon,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: at six pounds and twelve ounces. Healthy look at that,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and the sweetest little boy you could imagine. Morgan and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I are glad that you guys could be a s
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I'm all part of it. Maybe one day he'll suit
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: up for the old Golden Blue if we're lucky as
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: his ones. He says, it is a great day to
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: be a mountaineer, wherever you may be. Let's go mountaineers
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Joey and Morgan Brinkley in Princeton, West Virginia.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Hold on variation in your quote there, put that back
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: up if you could, Jake, it's a great day to become.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Oh that's mountaineer. That's cute as he was just born. Awesome.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Now let me also say something parenthetically, not about Carson,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: but about this. The distance between this studio and my
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: desk is no more than up and down the stairs
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: in forty eight seconds. Our boy Kerchival made a detour,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: just saying probably poor buddy. It band bladders completely shot.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I hate to see the gist side most feel. Texter
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: says that the portaland NIL need modifications. The portal axe
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: as a conduit to move athletes all around the country.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: The money from NIL fuels the movement. Some may attend
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: three or more institutions. I struggle to understand how men
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: and women float and earn a degree. The times, the
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: term student athletes and athlete students sound the same, but
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: of completely different meanings. Athletes students are students in school,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: prioritizing doing well in their sport over their academic performance.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I recently heard a guest on Three Guys say I'm
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: here to play ball. He is, by definition an athlete student.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: There is a form of auditioned negotiations and contract agreements
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: only to say a small percentage of those athletes across
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: sports will be classified as athlete student. But what becomes
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: of these pay for play athletes when their time is expired?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: In fairness, it should be noted WVU as a combined
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: APR of nine eighty nine. West Virginia's nine eighty nine,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: five points higher than the NCAA's overall four point average. Yeah,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: it's George and Glenn and Daniels. Different world, man, different world,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: No questions changed.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Saw Jevon and Eduardo walk this weekend?
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome their degrees.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's something I didn't know about this at all.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Can we show that next picture please? Jake? So you
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: delivered commencement hobby at Shepherd. I did didn't know about
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: that at all. Didn't messure that us. How'd it go?
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: It went?
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: I thought it went very well. Also received an honorary
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: degree from the university.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Did you really that's your third honorary degree You've got
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Wesleyan Shepherd and WVU, Now, holy were they pissed that
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: you transferred out of there and went portal at Shepherd
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: to come to West Virginia.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I did go portal, but I hope you didn't give
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: some portal discussion or been rant on the portal there
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: since you used it to leave their finances?
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Did they? Were they aware that you didn't graduate from there?
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: They were aware, But I said that I came to
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: WVU because w had a broadcast journalism degree program at
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the time. Shepherd did not.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: But then I had a didn't need to take a
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: shot at Shepherd.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Over the gig, but announcemant just killing your curriculum.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this that they were very specific,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: wonderful people. They're President Hendricks and the folks there is
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: They said no longer than seven minutes. So I started out,
• 53:15

• 53:22
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm a talk show host. I can go
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: all day, sure, to which there was like a brad
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: a groan, a groan. I said, however, President Hendrix has
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: limited me to seven minutes, which was met with mild applause,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: followed by and the better news is I'm already one

  Speaker 1: I do you what I learned that from Happy a
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: long time ago. Man, keep it short, in and out.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I heard one I don't want to mention. I don't
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: even know this person's name, but I was told recently
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: someone received as someone was told seven minutes and they
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: turned the microphone off at forty five.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: True, really at a commencement address or something else or
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: something like that kind of a thing.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, hop he knows how to hit a
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: hard break.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Though. Oh, I'm surprised he didn't end it like that.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: It's six fifty five on my watch. Let's pause for
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: a hard break. You're listening to Metro News, the Voice

  Speaker 1: only a matter of time before Austin over at football
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: and Kyle over at basketball for WV. I would think
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: they're gonna send him a box full of stuff.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: They I watched way too many of this.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Oh dude, they're really good.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: You know how much I'm into gear. Oh you love gear.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Love that when the box.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Shows it next one very serious.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: We could just replace that. We could do a box
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: opening here of gear. Colar Austin sending them. Hearbles just
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: opening on the show.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Who could be fine too.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Grudin's already got enough gear over there.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: He's got a lot.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: I he's got age, send it here, take care of it.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, three guys, just wanted to let you know. I've
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: been listening to you all since the first episode. I
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: operate heavy equipment. Listen to you every day plus sports line.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Reason for texting my dad, who I would say, My dad,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: who was what I would say, one of the most
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: loyal WV fans lost his two and a half year
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: battle with cancer second of April this year. He didn't
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: listen to you all, but I always would let him
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: know what Old Tony, Brad and the Hobster had to say.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: He would tell stories of listening to pregame with Jack
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Fleming and Wodio O'Hare as they drove to the games.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: We've had season tickets for football since nineteen eighty two.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: He was in the hospital when we needed to renew
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: our tickets and I asked him about them, and I said,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: are we still going to go get them? And he said,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: of course we are. After he passed, I contemplated on
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: how I would be able to go to the games
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: without my best friend watching with me. I know my
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: dad would want me to keep the tradition going and
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: continue to go and take my son with me. So
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm going to do and continue listening to
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: The Best Sports Guys podcast. Here's the episode eight hundred
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: and to the Best Dad Ever Jim Gonno love you, Pops,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: And this is from Jim and Jamie. If you show
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: me that picture there they are man in the stands,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: and those memories obviously are everlasting, and we send our
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: deepest sincere apologies or sympathies to you on your loss,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, know that he's always going
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to be with you when you're in those stands. And
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: then I was thinking about that picture in the sense
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: that how many other people have that exact memory of
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: decades and decades of being with family members, many who
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: are no longer with us, And that's the true essence
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: It's kind of the whole point of college sports right there.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the stuff we always talk about as the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: as the TV networks try and navigate this through to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: niche this down to just a few schools. That's what's wrong,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: what's right, that's what that that's what college sports is.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: A Nate, We're talking earlier about the you know, the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: mean tweets, mean texts from the jerks. Did you when
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: you were playing? Did you also know maybe because you
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: grew up here, you knew what like a story like that,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: like how much Mountain Athletics mean to people?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, I knew.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: I mean it meant that to me growing up. Me,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: my mom and dad and brother used to drive from
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: Fort Ashby to come over to go games. We used
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: to you know, I remember going to the coliseum when
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: I was four years old. You know, just stuff like that,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: that's what makes you want to do it.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out Fort Ashby? How long were you there?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: Five years? From when I was three until I was eight?
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: First I've heard of that. Texter says, I really love
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: the show. I'm old enough to remember the facilities building,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: not to be that guy, but the correct pronunciation is
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: shot in freude. Thought you would want to know Jeff
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: and Winchester, Virginia.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: I think I said Shade and freyd and got it
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: wrong and whatever.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Got a problem here and Brad, this is something we
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: had to deal with On Friday last week, Charlie from
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Midlothian Rights watched episode six three six. I'd like to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: offer two comments. The first involves those throwback football helmets.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: When I saw those for the first time, my immediate
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: reaction was to the color of the state. Was that
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: big screw job by Bubba of UNC to the men's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: basketball team. The second is in regard to the pink
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: while your rod slips. The best prank involved someone returning,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: say at like three o'clock into their office, and you
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: put the time on the slip. You say it was
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: ten point fifteen. Call arrives and the message reads, your
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: wife wants to know where you keep the fire extinguisher.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: I looked at because if you were gone from ten
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: to fifteen to three, how would you know?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Somebody called?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: Know.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so last Friday, after the late morning last Friday,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm home, I get a phone call I'm on
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the lawnmower, right, but I looked down and see who
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he mowed the lawn.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, non stuff, love it anyway, I look down, I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: shut them over, and like most times, I just look
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: at it and call him back later. Director of Athletics, Okay,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: call me, and so I started out. I learned down. Okay,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: said what's up?
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: And instantly I could tell we got problem. We got problem?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Hey said hey. I said yeah, I kind of knew
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: before he even started talking where this thing was going.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: So on our last episode, I may have said that
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Wren called that blue on those new unis Teal Heal
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: and Brad. We had a conversation kind of like that
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: blue that you've got on right there, and you said,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: and I said, I think there's going to be a
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: line of WVU apparel that's going to be in that color.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: So I said, yeah, he goes, you know.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: What, and I jumped out, I won't leave you alone
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: on an eye from there. Yeah, I jumped in and said,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: it's not Teal. I don't know why Teal is out there. Well,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: it's not a Teal color. I tried to say, I
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: don't know why Wren called it teal.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: I tried to go ahead.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I tried to state my case to him, and then
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: he said, well just hang on. He goes, let me
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: get Brad on the line. So he three wayed really,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, So we three waded. All of a sudden,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Skippy comes on the line.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: There, pretty impressed how he handled the technology.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: He's out the front of he's out front of that stuff.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: He's putting calls together all the time with these people,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: So I got conferenced in.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: So he got conferenced in. He said.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I said, I was not knowing.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I said, we got a situation here. He goes, what's
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: the deal? He goes, I never said teal. So we
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: went back and looked at the tape. Now he really
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: never did say teal. He has used the word.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Turquoise, turquoise on it.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: It's not which I pointed out, so but he but
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: he was right, and we said we would make an attraction.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: He did say turquoise.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: He never said a teal.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: He did say turquoise, not teal. That's arm seeing it's not.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it's turquoise either.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: It's light blue. I mean, just put what's in an.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Effort to be correct in the criticism. Okay, Okay, it
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't teal. Teal was never mentioned. Okay, so we have
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: to correct that. For the director of athletics, you can
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: call teal.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Turquoise color is in the eye of the beholder. But
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be such stuff out. There's gonna be some
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: stuff out in light blue.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: And there that's it. We'll just land on that. That's it.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Ren did not say teal, But it's gonna be. It's
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: a light blue color, is what it is. It's just
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: it's very similar to that similar. There's some questions about
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: exactly what light blue is going to be used.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Oh there is.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some questions about that.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: They didn't have pms back in the fifties or sixties
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: whenever those uniforms.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Sixties, So they'll work through it. But it will be
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: a light blue with gear to follow.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: It's like what color we got. But for the record,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Red did not call it teal at any point that he.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Was very honest in saying he may have used the
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: word turkoise.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, which he did admit to turquoise, but not teal.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just for the record, fair enough. Yeah, Hey, Jake,

  Speaker 1: to you're talking about who gets into the Hall of
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Fame with guys playing for just like one year. The
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: key is many play as many places as you want
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: before you come to West Virginia. But then at least
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: your last year then you could be eligible. So he's
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: going graduation route Forrest and Morgantown. Hello, gents, long time
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: since I reached out. I spent two hours on the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: tarmac waiting to take off this week while listening to
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: your last episode. That inspired me, and I thought, since
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Hoppy is only in the office one to two days
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: a month, true, while you were out as probably needed,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: So he made this for us. Take a look at this.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: It's actually a three guys. It's actually three guys. Now,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: if you get up to that thing close enough, it's
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: absolutely hilarious.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: What it says while you were.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Out that yeah, so gone.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: I probably should have while you were away.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's got like all of our little lines
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: and all of our people that are watching this will
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: get the like to see that. Yeah, there's a lot
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: of funny stuff in there. Thank you.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know that from that was from Forrest run
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: by Nikes. Nate would have no idea what that You
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: know what a pink slip isn't he? How about this one?
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: Just got this one today? Today I started my internship.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: I looked at my phone on my desk and saw
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: the famous while you were out note Pats. So another like,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: there acts some person started an internship today and there's
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: a pink slip and they're still in use. So that
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 5: says while you were out, what the heck?
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: I looked upstairs in our supplies closet. We don't have
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: any of course, we don't tell Nate what it is.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: So I mean I get the premise while you were gone,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: what happened? Yeah, no one could leave a message.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, And so our point was like, if you were
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: out of the office, you had no idea what was
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: happening until you got back, just out driving around aimlessly
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: to your meetings, you had no idea.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Anybody was like somebody Wren would not have been able
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: to get in touch with Tony. There would be a
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: note at the office where they had to schedule a meeting.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: I would have got back. He would have got in
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: from the lawnmowing, and there would have been a note
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: a director would like to see you at three pm
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: and you have to get dress to shower up.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: You're going for a meeting. There is.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: That's from today, Guys, somebody's on an internship and they're
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: still using that stupid thing. Good Lord, Phil and Ashland, Kentucky.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Since you had a Mothman reference to start the show,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I thought i'd show this picture. A few years ago,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: my wife bought me a six foot wood outline of
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: the state. I recently had it painted to highlight different
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: areas of the state, including the Mothman's home town. Take
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: a look at that. So you've got the Mothman up there,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: upper left got a bear over and toward the penhand
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: got a bear loose in the eastern panhand.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: Did you see what that note said? Said? While you
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: are out your typewriter arrived.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Texter. They still exist at Donut Connection in Kanas City,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: the infamous peanut donut. Remember I was raving about the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: peanut don't there they are? Peanut is a good donut.

  Speaker 1: chance to eat Revkev's barbecue for the first time. It
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: was outstanding. We both agreed some of the best brisket
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: we've ever had. Does he have a place where he
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: announces a schedule of places he's going to be so
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: he only cooks in Morgantown. I would go to the

• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: last four, but they're heading into the Big Twelve tournament
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: and on Thursday they'll play the winner. I think of
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech and some of the Cincinnata Cincinnati and so
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: I was looking this up. I was trying to find
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: something to say about and Brad, this applies to you
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: because you played baseball about streaks. You know how streaks
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: are on baseball, right, Hank Aaron said, Oh my, My
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: motto was always keep swinging. Whether I was in a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: slump or feeling badly or having a horrible time off
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: the field, the only thing to do was what Brad,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Keep swinging, Keep swinging, got to show up, keep playing,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: keep playing.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: So so you know what the Big Twelve champion Mountaineers
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: are going to do this week. We're gonna take their buye.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: We're gonna take their number one. See the whole tournament

• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: about being in a slump. He says, I'm not in
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: a He says, I ain't in a slump. I'm just
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: not hitting.

  Speaker 1: West Virginia used to date a guy who played basketball there.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: I said, really, who's that? She said, Selden Jefferson. Always
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: a West Virginia connection. Always Selden was good. Selden was
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: a good player, involved in what I think was one
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of the greatest head to head mono almano battles that
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen, And that was Seldon against Antonio Daniels,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: West Virginia bowlding Green n it game. Daniels who would
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: go on to in the Coliseum, Danels, who would go
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: on to play for over a decade. I would imagine
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: in the NBA.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: It was a top five pick.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: He and Selden just matching hoops. Great game, Nate, Who.
