  Let's please thirty six plate thirty six today. Yeah, I just said that.
• 4:01
  Huh please. Welcome in the head coach of the West Virginia University Mountaineers,
• 4:06
  Sean Covidge. Hello, sir, how are you. I'm doing well?
• 4:11
  How are you guys? I'm well? Pretty nice weather today, huh
• 4:14
  yeah. Now our tournaments over with and my famous saying to our guys you
• 4:19
  want bad weather, schedule of golf tournament pretty much guaranteed words to live by.
• 4:26
  It really is cold. Had guys in stocking caps out there earlier.
• 4:29
  Right now it's ninety. I know it's been a weird week weather wise.
• 4:33
  I mean just it was like really nice last week, then it got stupid
• 4:36
  for a little bit, and now it's going to be super nice and then
• 4:40
  it's going to get That's right. When Sean tried to do is it's golf
• 4:42
  tournament, it's April. Come on, coach, your Mountaineers yeah, well,
• 4:46
  yeah, I mean it was. We did have a mountaineer out there
• 4:48
  too for the greatest shotguns start in college golf, which is pretty cool tradition.
• 4:55
  We started in two thousand and fifteen, I believe, fall of fifteen,
• 5:00
  and the mountaineers come out there every year and fired the musket to get
• 5:04
  this tournament started. And uh, that's pretty cool. I mean it was
• 5:09
  windy, it was cold, it was overcast, but it's just a tradition
• 5:14
  we have and all the other teams are distracted by it, which we like
• 5:17
  that. But it's and it's very loud on that first tea box. That's
• 5:21
  that. That is a great tradition. She should have fired a few more
• 5:24
  times when Oklahoma State was putting yeah, and and everything they did. Yeah,
• 5:30
  well they're they're they're they're good. They're pretty good, man, They're
• 5:31
  they're pretty good. That would be a nice home course advantage there, that
• 5:34
  would they shoot it every time they're getting ready to I'm just spreting liberally.
• 5:40
  Yeah, yeah, Mary, I know, Marry the mountaineer, she's getting
• 5:43
  ready to hang it up. Um, she probably wouldn't mind just firing that
• 5:46
  thing, you know, in backstroke situations, be pretty good, pretty good.
• 5:51
  So how are you man? Everything good? Well, it's yeah.
• 5:55
  It's always a relief when you have your home event um, you know behind
• 6:00
  you. It's a lot of work. We spend a whole year kind of
• 6:02
  planning it. And it's ironic. I'm talking to you, Tony because I'm
• 6:05
  trying to get you to be our announcer and starter on number one tea next
• 6:10
  year. So I mean I'm already planning for next year. Yeah, he
• 6:12
  did. He emailed me yesterday and said, hey, I know this is
• 6:15
  a little, a little ahead of schedule. He's would you mind not for
• 6:17
  you? No, would you like to have things about two years in advance?
• 6:20
  And you think that's normally how I work, Hoppy. I work either
• 6:25
  I either schedule a year ahead or six seconds, that's right, any of
• 6:29
  the two. Now, this is like Sean this is he's gonna be on
• 6:31
  there saying now on the first tea, he's gonna give you all that exactly,
• 6:35
  that's good now on the first see or I prefer like a ladies and
• 6:39
  gentlemen, this is the eight oh seven starting tie now on the team representing
• 6:45
  Oklahoma State in player's name. Okay, so let me ask you this.
• 6:48
  I'd like to kind of do a little veriet and I'll Sean. Here you
• 6:54
  go. Now, here's what you get with him. Now, it's probably
• 6:56
  gonna be good. But he's gonna want to play. He's gonna want to
• 6:58
  say what he wants to say. Can I know yours is better? Can
• 7:00
  I say their last name twice? Um? No? I don't think so.
• 7:05
  Wait a second, now, teen off in the eight o seventy off
• 7:10
  representing West Virginia University, Hoppy Kirchival, Kirchival. That's pretty nice, isn't
• 7:18
  it. No, No, have the script, I have the script?
• 7:25
  What the script is? Does not know what a script is? Sean doesn't.
• 7:29
  By the way, coach, there might be a slight honorarium. Also,
• 7:32
  can you give me a couple of teas? Just give me a couple
• 7:35
  of when I was a couple of teas? Oh yeah, Sean has Sean
• 7:38
  thought he was doing something good? Here? Get Tony into He had no
• 7:41
  idea what I just walked into. Oh and the rider with the M and
• 7:44
  MS No, no, red M and ms. No. Hey, I'm
• 7:46
  looking at your bio here, dude. We're coming up on a decade.
• 7:49
  A year from now, it'll be ten years? Is that right? Says
• 7:56
  is right? Says here May twenty two of twenty fourteen, Unless that was
• 8:00
  your first communion, Yeah, you've been here since, right, Wow,
• 8:03
  Yeah, I guess. I mean it's it's weird. Sometimes it feels like
• 8:07
  we just got here and we still are, you know, still trying to
• 8:11
  build this program, you know, in some regards and then some ways.
• 8:15
  Heck, Keenan are about to be eleven year old. All he has known
• 8:20
  is um Morgantown, West Virginia, you know, which is kind of cool.
• 8:24
  So yeah, I mean it's it's weird. It has been a decade,
• 8:26
  but when you're starting a program from scratch, it still feels kind of
• 8:31
  new. And yeah, it's it's been a wild ride too far. What
• 8:35
  was your evaluation of how y'all performed at Pete Die this week? I was
• 8:43
  disappointed because we prepared more and as well as we ever have. Because the
• 8:50
  change in our schedule and the change to April, we had about two and
• 8:54
  a half weeks at Pete Die pretty much just just playing every time tournament scenario
• 9:01
  we could, we the green or sorry. The golf course superintendent was so
• 9:07
  cooperative and just like, hey, where do you want the holes? Where
• 9:09
  do you want the tea markers? And we we set it up just like
• 9:11
  the tournament, and so we were able to get down there a lot.
• 9:16
  I saw a lot of good things in preparation, but when it came time
• 9:20
  to execute, we just we just didn't do it um, you know.
• 9:22
  And it wasn't that we weren't prepared. It wasn't that we didn't that we
• 9:26
  don't have talent. We just sometimes the golf. It's hard to explain,
• 9:30
  but like you just you just don't have it that that particular day. And
• 9:35
  so that was kind of frustrating. But at the same time, big picture,
• 9:39
  we started to freshman, We started to sophomores, you know that had
• 9:43
  never really been in the lineup for our home event ever before, so for
• 9:48
  of our five and never started at home. So they're a little anxious,
• 9:52
  little excited. And I think now that we got that behind us, I
• 9:56
  mean, we just met with one of the freshman and had a good tall
• 10:00
  so trying to learn from, you know, our mistakes, and I think
• 10:03
  will be a lot better next year because of going through that. How can
• 10:09
  you see it, I mean, can you sense it? Let's say,
• 10:11
  a guy, you know, it starts out and he does you know,
• 10:13
  par bogey bogie. I mean, can you sense that something's off or you
• 10:18
  think, okay, they'll get it back on four or five, or you
• 10:20
  know what, what are you thinking as this thing evolves? Yeah? I
• 10:26
  think when you see it both ways. So, for example, the first
• 10:30
  round, I went out with Todd Duncan you know a West Virginia native first
• 10:35
  start at home? Ever, he struggled last year, so I wanted to
• 10:39
  go out there with him. He got off to a good start, so
• 10:41
  I felt like we we embraced the conditions and we knew it was gonna be
• 10:45
  hard. So Todd was patient early. You made a good par on one.
• 10:50
  He actually hit a horrible drive on two and was very quick to say,
• 10:54
  okay, I just I just need to look at par If I make
• 10:56
  bogie lay, it's not a big deal, And he kind of eased into
• 11:00
  around and he made a bogey and he's like, hey, it's gonna be
• 11:03
  a battle all day. It's gonna be a grind. And then he made
• 11:05
  back back birdies and so that, you know you, I felt like he
• 11:09
  was in a good spot. On the other end, when you see some
• 11:11
  other guys that are maybe a little bit older, been a lineup, just
• 11:16
  doing uncharacteristic stuff like things you just don't see and qualifying things you don't see
• 11:20
  in practice, you get that sense of Okay, he's he's like uncomfortable,
• 11:26
  or he's anxious, or he's trying to force things, and and it's tough,
• 11:31
  like when in golf, when once things go start to go sideways,
• 11:35
  you try to force things. That makes it worse. Um, And that's
• 11:39
  I think that's kind of what happened to some of our guys. So yeah,
• 11:43
  you do get a sense when you see things that are not characteristic of
• 11:46
  how they normally act or shots they normally hit. You know something's off,
• 11:50
  um, and it's it's you can't call it time out in golf. You
• 11:54
  can't make it stuff too. Host can complain only one, but I don't
• 12:00
  get any time outs, right, so we we just got to live with
• 12:03
  that for for two days, you know, with no timeouts. So U
• 12:07
  anyhow, that's that's kind of some of the things you notice. It's really
• 12:11
  remarkable Tony there. You mentioned he's been here and Sean's been here almost ten
• 12:13
  years. Have you had an opportunity to sit back and think about what these
• 12:18
  nine almost ten years have been like, because it's a heck of a project.
• 12:22
  You undertook, your restarting this program in the best golf league in America,
• 12:26
  and how far this program has come? Or are you too much in
• 12:30
  the day to day weeds right now or be able to reflect it all?
• 12:33
  Well, Um, I don't know. I mean I just try to do
• 12:39
  or try to work hard and prepare, like for the next day, the
• 12:43
  next week, next month. So I really you know, as a coach,
• 12:46
  you're constantly planning ahead. You're kind of you know, as I told
• 12:50
  you guys, I want to think about next year for our home event,
• 12:52
  how to make it better. And in recruiting, you know, in the
• 12:56
  transfer portal. So it's when you're coach, you're constantly living in the future.
• 13:01
  You're just you're always ahead and trying to make the path easier for your
• 13:05
  guys or where get them where they need to be. So it is difficult
• 13:11
  to look back and go, man, I remember when I didn't even have
• 13:13
  an office here. We didn't even have a golf ball, we didn't have
• 13:16
  a golf bag, we had no where to practice or play, we didn't
• 13:18
  have a home tournament. It didn't have players, you know, and that
• 13:22
  almost seems like a different lifetime ago. I think once we got into year
• 13:28
  probably three or four, we felt like a just kind of a normal program,
• 13:33
  and that so the years of building the program and not having anything here
• 13:39
  in that first year or two almost feels like a different lifetime ago. I
• 13:43
  almost feel like a different person from that that time to now. But I
• 13:48
  don't really I don't really like reflect the whole lot because I'm just trying to
• 13:52
  make us better for you know, next week at Big twelves and then next
• 13:56
  next season. You mentioned in the transfer portal. We talk about it obsessively
• 14:03
  every day, obsessively, right, and the major football basketball deal. And
• 14:09
  I think our listeners would find it interesting to know that you also are dealing
• 14:13
  with it. What has it done to the game of golf collegiately? What
• 14:18
  has it done to you specifically at West Virginia? What it um when it
• 14:24
  came on board? It was kind of right. I think the first season
• 14:28
  that was officially out there might have been the COVID year, you know,
• 14:31
  which is kind of interesting. Nobody saw that coming, but um so,
• 14:37
  I think there might have been like six golfers in the in the entire portal,
• 14:41
  like in the fall of twenty nineteen and then in the spring of twenty
• 14:46
  twenty, there are over three hundred you know, after COVID hits, right,
• 14:48
  it just it just and it seems like it's been wild ever since that
• 14:54
  that timeframe. Initially, we did have two guys during COVID, which we
• 14:58
  didn't even know if we were going to play golf that next season if you
• 15:01
  know what the future held. Two guys that went you know to other schools.
• 15:07
  But other than that, we have not had one one kid, you
• 15:09
  know, transfer since twenty twenty April twenty twenty soum And likewise, we we've
• 15:16
  looked at the portal. We've had some kids, you know, visit,
• 15:20
  but so far we've been you know, making our living off of high school
• 15:24
  kids, developing them and really trying to protect our culture more than anything else.
• 15:31
  And but now you know, they're they're certainly opportunities and you know,
• 15:35
  I'm not gonna lie. We're very, very interested in some transfers and they
• 15:39
  can make it a huge impact if it goes our way and they show up
• 15:43
  next August, so we'll see what happens. But yeah, you that's just
• 15:46
  part of recruiting now, you know, you look at it just like you
• 15:48
  do, you know, high school seniors and juniors and sophomores. UM for
• 15:54
  us. I mean, I'm not looking for a kid to come in and
• 15:56
  you know that's just not happy after one year like we that grad transfer.
• 16:00
  A kid that only has one year left, like that's more intriguing to me
• 16:07
  than a kid that's you know, not getting playtime out in Arizona. Well,
• 16:10
  if you're not happy out there, you're not gonna be happy up here
• 16:11
  because it's it's a lot colder, you know. So I'm looking for a
• 16:15
  kid that wants to you know, maybe at a smaller school, that's really
• 16:19
  done well, that wants that big competition. Coaches talk all the time,
• 16:26
  what do you think the largest amount of money that a collegiate golfer is currently
• 16:32
  making? An nil? Well, I honestly, I don't know. I
• 16:37
  don't know. UM will make me feel good, guess fair question? Right?
• 16:42
  Absolutely? Yeah, thank you. I did fifty thousand, and it
• 16:45
  could be one hundred thousand. You know, I don't know. I you
• 16:49
  know, schools like a Texas schools like in Oklahoma state. UM could probably
• 16:56
  answer that, you know, UM, but yeah, I don't. I
• 17:00
  really don't know. Now you're telling me when you guys get around the other
• 17:04
  day, Oaks State's over there tea and off, like, you don't go
• 17:07
  over with someone that's not the Oak State staff, and you guys don't go
• 17:11
  like, can you freaking believe freaking Oaks States paying that? Dude? Do
• 17:15
  you know that doesn't happen? It's a gentleman's game. I mean, we're
• 17:19
  there too. Don't give me that gentleman. Don't give me that gentleman's game.
• 17:22
  Hoppy you buying his That was a nice comeback go by him. He
• 17:26
  gave you a gentleman's They always run pretty good, pretty good. That's how
• 17:30
  they always run away from that stuff. So you don't think it's a big
• 17:33
  deal then as far as the dollars go, M not right now. Really,
• 17:37
  I mean it is a factor. It definitely is a factor, and
• 17:41
  it's um you know, but I think it's more when you think about golf,
• 17:48
  like, we only have four and a half scholarships for nine or ten
• 17:51
  guys, so I think it's more kind of matching another scholarship or two than
• 17:56
  it is. You know, here's here's a quarter of a million dollars,
• 17:59
  or here's one hundred thousand dollars. It's more. Hey, we don't have
• 18:03
  scholarship money, but here's here's the equivalent of getting in state tuition or whatever
• 18:07
  in in supplementing kind of your recruiting. That way the correct me if I'm
• 18:14
  wrong. The Big Twelve Championships are coming up April twenty four, twenty five,
• 18:18
  twenty six. I'm reading here at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Kansas.
• 18:25
  You do come in as a ten seed tony when they start, they have
• 18:29
  a non thirty Central time, Yeah, tea time. I believe central time.
• 18:36
  Well, they have no thirty Central ten o'clock East. May list Eastern
• 18:41
  there because there are those of us in the Eastern time zone that would like
• 18:44
  to follow this and watch that they list the Eastern times, zonder. I
• 18:45
  just need to be the translation. Here's what's interesting. I'm looking at it,
• 18:48
  and they did put Eastern time, but only on the West Virginia matchup.
• 18:52
  Yeah, that's what they do. They just they can't help them anyway
• 18:56
  because there's no other fans in the Eastern time zone that may want to know
• 18:57
  that. Realistically, you know, that's a that's a big hill to climb
• 19:03
  in that tournament. What are realistic expectations for those couple of days. Well,
• 19:07
  just like our home event, um, for Big twelves, we will
• 19:11
  start you know too freshmen and too sophomores and one junior. So only one
• 19:15
  guy has ever played in the Big twelve Championship. Only one guy's ever played
• 19:19
  Prairie dns UM. So you know, considering that again, this year has
• 19:23
  been about gaining experience, making sure we're establishing the right culture and and really
• 19:30
  building towards you know, next year these guys come back bigger, stronger and
• 19:36
  wiser hopefully. UM. So you know, the expectations are to stick with
• 19:40
  our routine, make sure we're doing all the little things right, have a
• 19:42
  good mindset, um, and see what happens. You know. I mean,
• 19:48
  I'm not gonna say if we finish you know, X, Y and
• 19:51
  Z, then that's a success. It's really about did the guys do everything
• 19:55
  we asked them to do. Did we give ourselves a chance to play good
• 19:56
  golf? Did we prepare the right way? Um? Did we kind of
• 20:00
  keep keeping a good perspective out there and you know, see what happens?
• 20:06
  And knowing that all our starters are coming back next year. UM is exciting
• 20:11
  for me because this is a really talented group. It's a competitive group.
• 20:15
  It's just we're young and inexperience UM and it just takes time. Just like
• 20:18
  with Mark Guetz, I mean he never really started his freshman or sophomore year,
• 20:23
  but by the time he was a junior, he turned out to be
• 20:26
  pretty good. And that's kind of what we're you know, resetting towards that
• 20:30
  for the next few years. Are you philosophically, are you a grippe and
• 20:33
  RiPP it guy or are you no keep it in play score where you score
• 20:37
  on the whole, where you can score, don't get to hit of yourself,
• 20:41
  I mean independent, it's it's it depends on the whole. I mean,
• 20:45
  we just try to strategize based on whole location and win direction and the
• 20:48
  strength of the player. Some guys, you know, have that aggressive mindset.
• 20:52
  Some guys are more conservatives. Some guys are good wedge players, some
• 20:56
  guys are good drivers, you know. So it's it's very individual. But
• 21:00
  I never try to hold back a player. But if I know it's just
• 21:04
  not a smart play, then then we're not going to do that. But
• 21:07
  that's literally like one whole out of eighteen that I say, Okay, we're
• 21:11
  gonna play it this way. The other seventeen you can do what you want.
• 21:15
  But this whole I'm telling you it's it's a flashing red light. So
• 21:18
  let's be very cautious here. You mentioned walking with Todd the other or you
• 21:22
  went off with Todd to start? How do I think people be interesting this?
• 21:25
  How how do you do that during a tournament? Are you with every
• 21:29
  guy at some point? Are there some guys you just let go? How
• 21:32
  do you handle the event? Coaching part of this? Well, I think
• 21:36
  it starts in qualifying. So something we did this year. Before each qualifying
• 21:40
  round, my assistant and I we draw a name out of a hat and
• 21:45
  that's that player. For each round, we're gonna go walk with that player.
• 21:48
  We're going to coach him just like we would in the tournament, and
• 21:51
  we start to build that relationship and start to get to know their games really
• 21:55
  well. And so over the course of nine, you know, qualifying rounds
• 21:57
  leaning into a tournament, we pretty much walked with every player at least one
• 22:02
  time. So when we get to the ternament, we kind of know who
• 22:04
  who likes help who doesn't need that much help, and we leave it up
• 22:11
  to the guys. I mean, some guys say, hey, coach,
• 22:14
  you might walk with me tomorrow perfectly, I'll walk with them the entire round.
• 22:18
  Some guys say, hey, would you mind kind of just get me
• 22:21
  off to the start and then I'll be good, you know, first six
• 22:23
  holes, and some guys want to help some part three on help of part
• 22:27
  threes. So that's kind of how we do it, it seems to you
• 22:32
  know, certain guys I would say, like Todd or Max Max Green want
• 22:37
  a lot of help, and then guys like Jackson Davenboord just need help on
• 22:41
  part three. So it's kind of up to the player. Yeah, I
• 22:45
  would. It's kind of like kids, right, like you you you parent
• 22:48
  your kids differently, knowing that's some deal with this form better than that form,
• 22:55
  and that's kind of that's the coaching of it, right. You know,
• 22:57
  you know who to whisper too, and you know who to bark at.
• 23:00
  But it's just such a it's such a different sport where I mean,
• 23:02
  Hugs is watching all five guys doing the same thing, although they have different
• 23:04
  rules. Sean's got multiple guys on different parts of the court. Right or
• 23:10
  field lack of a better term there to relate it to football, basketball,
• 23:12
  and everybody takes it a little bit different. That's like all that's like five
• 23:15
  or six individual coaching jobs, not one during a game speak. Plus he's
• 23:19
  not he's not probably not using the same technique as hugs. No gentleman's game.
• 23:27
  Gentleman's game, hup, gentleman's game. You know that'd be just I'll
• 23:32
  tell you what, coach just just you know, in a in a preseason,
• 23:36
  you want to get hugs out there, just to coach them up a
• 23:37
  little bit of coach. See what hell he handles it? I mean hugs
• 23:41
  a big great golf coach out with that. I don't know if it benefits,
• 23:45
  Like working the rules officials and golf, it's like yes, they're like,
• 23:49
  look, I'm three fairways over, I'm not even watching your crew,
• 23:52
  and you're over here. Yeah here, Just do that once. Just call
• 23:55
  a rules official over, go hat backwards and just start getting at right.
• 24:00
  Just do it one time. What kind of car path relief was that?
• 24:04
  Provisional ball, provisional ball, provisional ball, Yeah, why don't you do
• 24:10
  that a little bit? By the way, speaking of hats, I say
• 24:12
  this every time he's on. I don't know if people know this. There's
• 24:15
  not a more elite gear program at WVU than golf like COVID's personally and team
• 24:21
  wise. Yeah, makes are you picking all that out or do you the
• 24:23
  equipment manager do that? What's how hands are are you on game day uniform
• 24:27
  stuff? Be very very involved in the selection of our uniforms for the entire
• 24:33
  year. But I do let the low score from the previous sernament picks out
• 24:38
  what we wear for the next tournament, So that kind of you know,
• 24:42
  it could be the same guy four weeks in a row, or it could
• 24:45
  be somebody different every time, but that's something kind of special, Like if
• 24:48
  you're the low guy, hey, you tell us what we're wearing. Um,
• 24:51
  now, obviously I've selected all, you know, options that we could
• 24:53
  choose from, but um, you know golf you it's pretty cool. Yeah,
• 24:57
  we do have good gear and that it seems actually it's funny. The
• 25:02
  Oklahoma State coach, I don't know if this is a slap in the face
• 25:06
  or not, but he said, uh, He's like, hey, you
• 25:07
  know, you do a really good job, and I thought, you know,
• 25:11
  coaching. I was like, well, thank you, you know,
• 25:12
  but no, he didn't say that. He got he did a really good
• 25:15
  job with your gear. He's like, you guys look really good. And
• 25:18
  I was like, I don't know if that's good or bad? Like patronizing?
• 25:22
  Is that? Yeah? I didn't know what to happen. Now,
• 25:25
  I'd take that they Oklahoma State has good gear all the way around their teams.
• 25:27
  They have they have a lot of options. They have good gear.
• 25:30
  I'd take that as a high compliment. Yea, I would agree with you.
• 25:33
  I don't think he was underhand. No one, Hi, Hi,
• 25:34
  the big gear over there. Hey listen, Hey, do you ever take
• 25:37
  any craft from Oklahoma State? You just say, hey, look, we
• 25:40
  have a human mascot. Yours has a paper mache head. I just go
• 25:44
  straight up when you go, Brad, just go straight with that. That's
• 25:45
  your attack pistol pete. I mean it makes me uncomfortable when he comes up
• 25:49
  near him. He's got like a paper mache head, just like it needs
• 25:52
  a little pain here and there, and it's kind of like a little splot.
• 25:55
  You just like, I'm good. You don't want to get too close.
• 25:57
  I think it could sCOD a hell out of kids. Freepy. I
• 26:00
  think like little kids could become very scared by pistol pete. I really do
• 26:03
  a little line. I'm just saying, if you ever got up close to
• 26:07
  him, you know, not good. Well, yeah, we have the
• 26:11
  best we had the best mask. Question. Hey, let me ask you
• 26:15
  one last question. What's your handicap right now? I mean, I'll tell
• 26:21
  you what. During COVID it was down to like a one point nine,
• 26:23
  like guy was playing a ton of golf. I played, you know,
• 26:26
  the West Virginia Open, the West Virginia Am, the Club Championship, every
• 26:32
  everybody's memory guests. I could um, but you know, uh, for
• 26:37
  some reason, Kate didn't talk to me much during that. Yeah, you
• 26:41
  know, maybe maybe I should be a dad in a husband. So um.
• 26:45
  Anyhow, right now it's probably a like a three point nine or something.
• 26:49
  An embarrassment, Yeah, an embarrassment. It is an embarrassment. And
• 26:53
  I'm getting shorter and shorter off the team, and my team keeps getting longer
• 26:57
  and longer. So I just move out to two tea boxes and keep it
• 27:00
  competitive. Hey, um, last last thing. If someone's listening in here
• 27:06
  and would like to specifically support the WV Golf program through nil Or. However,
• 27:11
  how do they get ahold of you? How do they do this?
• 27:14
  Oh well, I mean obviously country roadstrust in the mac or two very important
• 27:18
  areas, and within the Mountain Athletic Club we do have the gallery, which
• 27:25
  is what we call kind of our sports specific funding. Okay, and that
• 27:27
  that certainly helps um Or. They can just con find me at Pete Diers
• 27:32
  the Pines probably, but um BUS in great. Anything can help out golf
• 27:37
  in a really important way because we you know, we have nine guys,
• 27:41
  so anything that we get really helps out this crew. So thank you all
• 27:45
  right, good deal, brother, appreciate your time very much and congratulations.
• 27:49
  Best of luck next week at the Big twelves and we thank you man.
• 27:52
  They would take all luck we can get. Thank you back to you.
• 27:56
  There he is Sean Covid. How do you think year from now, when
• 28:00
  I, uh, when I'm the what do you call that start starter starter?
• 28:03
  When I'm the start, you think I might be able to give it
• 28:06
  like a hat or something out of that deal. I don't know. If
• 28:07
  you can't, we'll talk before we get down there, because I need one
• 28:10
  too. Maybe he needs to be on longer. I got more gear questions
• 28:12
  specifically they got they have good He always looks nice and they have different stuff
• 28:15
  too. It's not your normal stuff. He finds good. Their team,
• 28:18
  their individual team pictures. They all go the Gordon ge bow tie on.
• 28:22
  Yeah, which is a nice touch. Tony just the guy. Just let
• 28:26
  play it straight. As a starter, Oh will, I'm not gonna I
• 28:30
  would not jack don't jack around. No, no, no, I will
• 28:32
  not jack around. He tells whatever he tells me to do, I'm gonna
• 28:34
  do. Because he got really uncomfortable when I said that double name thing,
• 28:37
  like he shotted that down. Really, here's the thing COVID has buttoned up.
• 28:42
  He's got the thing a year in advance. Right, so you don't
• 28:45
  score around you just you get it. He's gonna have it for you to
• 28:48
  take the script. See, he'd never take my script my first year here,
• 28:52
  when I do. That's why I learned about him. My first year
• 28:52
  here. I was coming from a couple places where I had to be pretty
• 28:56
  scripted out with the announcements or hey, we're gonna do a presentation here.
• 28:59
  Here's what I spent hours when right crafting it, writing it. Did it
• 29:03
  about twice with him, like here we go, Tony, I got,
• 29:04
  I got a script here for you. We're gonna do this presentation. And
• 29:07
  then the first couple I'm watching, I'm thinking, well, that's not whatever,
• 29:11
  that's not it. But it was really good, right, I mean,
• 29:12
  it's technical him. He didn't follow what he was supposed to, but
• 29:15
  it came off really well. So then we got to the point, as
• 29:18
  I was there longer, i'd just say, hey, we're doing a presentation
• 29:22
  halftime. We're going to recognize the soccer team they won the Big East.
• 29:25
  Best of luck. I'll see. I'm going to be back in the concourse.
• 29:27
  Handle it. It's speaking of which that Tony was inducted into wae AR
• 29:36
  Radio Sports Hall of Fame this week, and that is an extreme honor because
• 29:40
  of all the fantastic announcers who have been through wa AR in Syracuse. The
• 29:44
  list as long. And I listened to your speech, Tony, and it
• 29:47
  was fourteen minutes? Was it fourteen minutes? Fourteen might have been fourteen thirty,
• 29:52
  But it was delivered. You touched a lot of bases. It was
• 29:55
  delivered follows even like Oz and I could tell it was not scripted. You
• 30:00
  had thought out what you were going to say, and it was delivered.
• 30:02
  It was very well done, very well done. You did not have a
• 30:04
  script correct. I had two pages of script and I never looked down at
• 30:08
  it. Really. I just got up there and I just kind of felt,
• 30:11
  okay, let's go. Well but you were but you were prepared.
• 30:15
  I had points in my head that I wanted to hit. Yeah, you
• 30:18
  did a good job. Yeah it was well done. That's not easy.
• 30:21
  Shot. Took a shot from my brother in law afterward. Reason said,
• 30:25
  I didn't mention Joan by name. I specifically mentioned family, the importance of
• 30:30
  families, but I guess I didn't say Joan. I know you didn't,
• 30:33
  but I mean I think true he did not. He did not He mentioned
• 30:37
  my name and didn't mention Joan from so my brother in law he had to
• 30:45
  stick that one in there. And Joan didn't even know that I had not
• 30:47
  mentioned her name. Had he just shut up, it would have been totally
• 30:49
  good that I got. So he crushed it. He didn't help you.
• 30:52
  Well, Joan, is not it? She had not at all earlier.
• 30:53
  Yeah, I'm halfway through the speech. She's heard it before. Congratulations to
• 30:57
  you, to thank you, very very very much. Your name was mentioned
• 31:00
  throughout Happy people know your name up there as well. I counted once.
• 31:03
  So no, I mean during the course of the day, because we spoke
• 31:07
  at the student radio station earlier in the afternoon and Scott McFarlane of CBS News,
• 31:14
  No, but his name, he's in the Hall of Fame. And
• 31:17
  I said, those guys, I said, that's McFarlane who did the feature
• 31:19
  on Hoppy for CBS News. And Sager mcganni, who was there, said
• 31:25
  what he said, McFarland did a feature on Hoppy And I go, yeah.
• 31:29
  He goes, why do I not know this? And I said,
• 31:32
  he goes, I'm watching it tonight and I said, gay. Sager was
• 31:34
  very excited by that. I haven't seen it. How's he doing so radio?
• 31:40
  Yes, he is. Wow, that's to be like fifteen years Oh
• 31:42
  no, more than that, really, I think it's upwards of twenty.
• 31:45
  Now. Yeah, are we on the air now? Just yeah, we're
• 31:48
  just talking. We're recording. Well, we'll hit record here in a minute
• 31:52
  ago anything else? Say? Do you ever give Sager mcganey at Boston Beanery
• 31:55
  gift card for five dollars? Probably ten dollars? He's the best? How
• 31:59
  you get past five? Ten? It was ten. You know it enough
• 32:02
  to buy it was enough to buy lunch or dinner at that time. How
• 32:07
  about this one? Speaking of lunch, you're doing you know what Sager told
• 32:10
  me, I can't get the burger and Fry'll just take the fries, thank
• 32:14
  you. How much overage is there? So Jones says to Sauger, how
• 32:17
  many times have flown on Air Force one? And Sager said, you know
• 32:22
  a number of times? And he goes, the first time you do it,
• 32:27
  like you know, they give you the matches with the you know,
• 32:30
  airvoy, the whole thing. And he said, but one thing they do
• 32:31
  do is when you're getting ready to land, they count all of the plates,
• 32:37
  all of the things that have that stuff on there. And the first
• 32:42
  thing they do and they count the media's a line assortment so that you're not
• 32:47
  walking out of I killed theake an Air Force one plate out of there.
• 32:52
  He said, that's the very first thing that I learned, very first thing
• 32:54
  I learned, Like you just you just take what they give you. You
• 32:58
  don't take anything that they don't give you. That's good advice. Yeah,
• 33:02
  three guys before the game. Some Pentagon secrets. But you can't have a
• 33:06
  plate. How old. Are you at twenty one? Yeah, we'll give
• 33:10
  you three guys before the game. Brought to us by the people that bring

  there's rain when it's coal, and that absolutely is no fun. It's
• 34:01
  supposed to be like sixty eight sixty nine. Shut up, you're gonna be

• 34:15
  always do. You're gonna have a slicker on spring game, big slicker on,

  need to talk to him about it? About what? Well you were thinking
• 34:25
  of going? Are you gonna go with me? You were thinking of going?
• 34:29
  Well, I didn't want to invite myself to sit with you. He'll
• 34:31
  sit with you. I was thinking about it. He can do that.
• 34:35
  It's under discussion. It's been a big topic of discussion at the Kerchival Household
• 34:38
  this week. Karen. Do you think I could ask Brad to go to
• 34:43
  the game with me? Yes, Hoppy, I'll let you know. What

  I watched the game with you, I would go with him bright because
• 35:00
  he's not. Actually, of all the people I'm watching the game with,
• 35:02
  I'm probably most comfortable with you because that's what we do. Well, that's
• 35:06

• 37:25
  efforting. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, this is the spring collection. Spring
• 37:30
  collection, yeah, sprink collect It just came, just got it back in
• 37:32
  from Milan. It was in the Milan men's line, women's line, multiple
• 37:37
  colors, multiple different pieces, those coffee come was probably shown it at a
• 37:43
  show, is right. Yeah, it was um the women's line. Some
• 37:46
  of that um stuff is really really nice. The hoppy thing, hoppy hour,
• 37:53
  happy hour stuff is really that would be for because let's face it,
• 37:58
  we're mostly a guy showing I comely, but the heavy guy show is that
• 38:01
  the guys who are here take one back to this spouse like I brought No
• 38:07
  why not yeah, I wouldn't know why not. You'll be able to pre
• 38:08
  order for those of you that are going to be here, can't wait.
• 38:12
  It should be a blast um. I Also, so here's the deal.
• 38:17
  The cans of Kirchivel, which your debuting Friday, they will be available this
• 38:23
  weekend at the Apothecary ail House Friday night late or afterward out and then well
• 38:31
  Friday night after six after six available and can Chestnut brew Works because I keep
• 38:38
  pointing, because that's where it is. Chestnut brew Works as well this weekend
• 38:44
  until supply is out. So if you're coming in for the game and you
• 38:46
  want to taste Kirchiveil out of the can or draft Chestnut brew Works Pathecary of
• 38:52
  House. All right, spring game. This is a question with two parts,
• 38:58
  yep, two things. What do you want out of the spring game?
• 39:02
  Hop, I'll give you the floor. We just talked about this on
• 39:05
  your coffee clatch. You go ahead. Oh, I mean the quarterbacks are
• 39:08
  the big story, and you're going to be limited because they don't want to
• 39:13
  show you much. I don't know, I don't know what even what the
• 39:15
  format of the game is going to be, but the story is the quarterbacks.
• 39:20
  You want to see them. You want to see them throw. You
• 39:22
  want to see I guess they'll be limited in running quarterbacks quarterbacks and also and
• 39:27
  also is there somebody that can do we have guys that can catch the ball?
• 39:32
  Is there a deep threat? You know those kinds of things. Yeah,
• 39:37
  So that's what we talked about this morning. I think I'm watching it.
• 39:38
  Listen, You're not going to walk out of there and be wowed by
• 39:42
  a whole lot that they're going to do because they are going to keep it
• 39:44
  pretty vanilla. They don't want to put a bunch out there. But I
• 39:46
  want to see enough from a couple of guys. Can can the quarterbacks make
• 39:50
  a couple of throws that you say, oh, okay, okay, that's
• 39:52
  pretty good. The receivers, I think is really important. Right, you
• 39:57
  want to see what you've got at receiver. I think that's a massive question
• 40:00
  mark, and I'd realize I'm not plowing new ground here. But Tony,
• 40:02
  the other part of that, and I think it dovetails nicely, is it's
• 40:05
  the defensive backs as well. Right, those are to me are the three
• 40:08
  areas quarterback, receiver, defensive back. You've got to be so much better
• 40:13
  in each of those areas. And you're not going to get a definitive answer
• 40:15
  coming up on Saturday, but you can start to see what's there, and
• 40:19
  maybe it's the defensive back part that shows the most improvement. You know what
• 40:22
  what is worrisome about that, though, is let's say a defensive back has
• 40:27
  two picks and you go, wow, that guy looks pretty good. And
• 40:29
  the quarterbacks, quarterbacks receivers can't get a receiver open. So I think you're
• 40:34
  exactly right, and that we go through that every spring. So you need
• 40:37
  to see it on both sides, right. You need to see a couple
• 40:38
  plays in the end zone that the d back goes up knocks down. You
• 40:40
  need a couple others where the receiver goes up in the back of the ends
• 40:44
  that makes a great play, and you get a little bit of both there,
• 40:45
  a little give and take him all. I just talked to Neil just
• 40:49
  a little bit ago. I said, what do you want? He said,
• 40:50
  I just want to see good football. I just want to see good
• 40:52
  football. Then he's got a several guys who he just wants to see play
• 40:55
  well in a big with people watching, including Jimmy Bell is going to be
• 41:00
  out there and he'll, you know, get his first taste of football since
• 41:04
  the eleventh grade in front of people. Also interesting in scoring, they're gonna
• 41:08
  use some XFL scoring where you can go for one, two, or three
• 41:10
  points. They're also if you miss a field goal, If you miss a
• 41:15
  field goal, they'll take the points off the board. Really good One'll give
• 41:20
  him to the defense. Yeah, well good, give the defense a chance
• 41:23
  to score. Yeah, trust me, there's it's the most wackiest scoring.
• 41:28
  I mean, it's just the spring games. By the way, I like
• 41:30
  that the extra point. What the XFL does? Ye? You like that
• 41:34
  a lot. Yeah, kind of like the elim ending of football. Yeah,
• 41:37
  of sorts, just different scoring. You guys are ready to do some
• 41:40
  human need to heal. He's gonna he's gonna be there, you know that,
• 41:59
  right, He's gonna be guy that made this song is going to be
• 42:02
  there. For those of you that are coming to the event, we're gonna
• 42:06

  Texter, Larry writes in I've had the pleasure of doing business and the

• 42:38
  Congratulations. Dinosaur barbecue available um in Rochester, Syracuse, Harlem, New York,

• 42:49
  as is massive, top five percent of barbecue no matter where you go in

  Texter. Hey, this is three guys. This is Danny down in Lewisbourg.
• 43:19
  I had a couple of twenty ounce Kerchivals at the Briar Garden last night.
• 43:22
  Very good beer and enjoy listening to your show. Let's go Mountain.
• 43:23
  Here's there he is glass, big, big glass of beer. Texter,
• 43:30
  here's an advanced warning. This is a little preachy. The Jordan McCabe interview
• 43:37
  should be mandatory listening for all mountaineer fans. Listen to what this young guy
• 43:40
  went through as a human being. Do you know what else he probably had
• 43:44
  to put up with fans with zero perspective and class saying things to him on
• 43:47
  social media that they wouldn't say to a dog playing embarrassing. I know it
• 43:52
  happens everywhere, but I really don't care what happens in other places. Nothing
• 43:55
  in or about West Virginia is easy. Can't we all acknowledge that and hold
• 44:00
  ourselves to a higher standard instead of sinking to the lowest common denominator. I
• 44:05
  could go on and on about all of this, but I'll stop here.
• 44:08
  Sean from Raleigh text or three guys hello, by the way, Oh go
• 44:13
  ahead, A long time listener, first time text her. So I was
• 44:15
  listening to the Jordan McCabe episode, and it could hear your confusion concerning how
• 44:20
  we came to the knowledge that Tony had no aspirations to be an astronaut.
• 44:23
  If my memory still is intact, I believe he was talking about how he
• 44:28
  felt he could become a top tier auctioneer elite. I think as the word
• 44:31
  that was used at which point Hoppy or Brett Ingesta they wanted to be an
• 44:35
  astronaut. At least that's how I remember it. I love the show.
• 44:37
  That's exactly what happened. Remember you said, oh, I won't Ben,
• 44:40
  and I said, I have no aspirations to be an astronaut. Well you
• 44:45
  I acknowledge that I was being flippant about that, and you have proven me
• 44:50
  wrong because you have been working diligently and you're one of those guys. Don't
• 44:55
  get into contestment Tony, because he will sacrifice other things to prove you wrong.
• 45:01
  And the actually is perfecting his auctioneering skills, which we may see tomorrow.
• 45:07
  Well, my dog thinks I'm absolutely crazy. Now. When I'm walking
• 45:09
  Charles Barclay a practice with him, Chuck Chuck, I like, I'll give
• 45:14
  chuckle Chuck, we're gonna do this, and I ready and I start Yeah,
• 45:19

• 45:22
  this is Bob and Clarksburg. Ps. He just goes the Mothman double exclamation
• 45:27
  points. Sorry, I just wanted to see Brad have an anxiety attack.
• 45:29
  Mothman, Moman, Mothman, what do you d Thanks Bob Good email up
• 45:32
  until that point or text. I was at an event last night, had
• 45:36
  a couple of people mentioned the Jordan McCabe episode specifically very well received. Oh
• 45:40
  you encourage me? Yeah, seriously, if you haven't heard it, go
• 45:43
  back and listen. He was that an Eric Stevenson really was good insights.
• 45:46
  By the way, Monday, we've got Mike Florio Pro Football Talk dot com.
• 45:50
  Sorry Mike Florio Pro Football Talk dot Com. He was supposed to be
• 45:53
  here today but they called and said we've got your Bryce Young interview at one
• 45:59
  thirty. We got bumped for Bryce. Hum, yeah, we did.
• 46:02
  You know? What you got from those two interviews with those former players is
• 46:07
  typically no offense, all due respect. Sports journalism is what do you think
• 46:12
  of this game? What happened that game? What about the next game?
• 46:14
  What about this game? And maybe there's a feature. But when you talk
• 46:16
  to them at length, not just a sound bite, at length, Brad
• 46:20
  and you get the stories a little bit more about their life and how they
• 46:23
  got to where they are. What's happening behind the scenes where their head was.
• 46:28
  You see, you see more of the context. It is not just
• 46:31
  it's not flat. It's dimensional, Okay, because normal sports it's kind of
• 46:36
  dimensional at a good game, had a bad game. No, it's a
• 46:37
  lot deeper than that. That's what you get from those in and both of
• 46:39
  those guys steven sNaN mccabor or they can articulate it well too, so they
• 46:44
  understand it. And that's that's part of why I think. I mean Eric
• 46:45
  at some point down the road, he's got a pro career to go through.
• 46:47
  But I think Jordan McCabe, as soon as he starts down that path
• 46:51
  of skill development slash coaching, I think he's gonna be excellent. It's gonna
• 46:53
  be great in that are both will Peter and Parkersburg writes spreads this is for
• 46:59
  you, where's my eight in the Box podcast? I haven't won a wager
• 47:04
  in three months. The only thing keeping me going is a future's bet and
• 47:07
  hockey Sherri pen recommended from February. I mean, what are you doing?
• 47:09
  Did you stop doing that efforting contract negotiations? You stop doing it for time
• 47:15
  being, it'll it'll restart. John and Phillipsburg knew and efforting. That's all
• 47:19
  he needs to say. Yeah, really, I don't need to give me
• 47:21
  more of answer, efforty. It'll be back John and Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
• 47:24
  I've been counting down for the Penn State game since it was announced a
• 47:27
  decade ago. I always said, no matter what, I'll be at the
• 47:30
  game. However, my wife and I are expecting a second son to arrive
• 47:37
  just days before the game head plenty. The question is is this, If
• 47:40
  the baby arrives before the game, do I make the trip with my buddies
• 47:45
  who are huge Penn State fans and have a great time for the weekend,
• 47:47
  or do I watch in my man cave with my sons and my wife.
• 47:52
  Signed by John and Phillipsburg, New Jersey. Later, b you stay home,
• 48:00
  no question, not even a debate. I'll give you one quick option
• 48:02
  on that. It all depends on your wife in the sense that there are
• 48:08
  some wives who might have support around them like her mom or your mom might
• 48:13
  be there and she'll go, dude, I got this. Go. But
• 48:15
  if you feel any inkling, any inkling whatsoever that she would be less than
• 48:22
  completely happy that you're gone, then you stay home here, be careful of
• 48:25
  something. I'll just spend time with your sons. Your son Steve was Amy,
• 48:29
  didn't need the wife needs help, don't he spend time with your son.
• 48:34
  A little kid ain't gonna know he was there. No, no,
• 48:36
  no, A good story. Because when the boy is eighteen and you're taking
• 48:38
  him to the game and you say, son, I watched the West Virginia
• 48:43
  Pens take game when you were three days old. You and I watched it
• 48:45
  together. You know you got well, boy, he won't remember, but
• 48:47
  it is that better than the converse, where when when they're watching it when
• 48:51
  they're eighteen, he says, son, Now you won't remember this, but
• 48:53
  you were only forty eight hours old, and I left you at home and
• 48:57
  I went to the game and you didn't get to see it. But I
• 48:59
  saw a game with my college buddies. And here's what you be alert for.
• 49:04
  This from the wife. If you want to go, Yeah, it's
• 49:07
  okay, Yeah, I get you now, I'm with you. Okay,
• 49:13
  stay home, stay home. Texter Scope spreads Hoppy cubed. I'm finishing my
• 49:17
  work assignment down under in Sydney. Australia is a great country, but I'm
• 49:22
  sad to report during my time here, I've not found any place serving kurchavel.
• 49:28
  I'm told there's a distribution issue, not related to the international rift between
• 49:31
  the United States and Australia caused by Tony have to go to Fosters down there.
• 49:36
  Australian football is in season now and I've been watching footie matches, matches,
• 49:40
  not games extensively. These players are big and fast and I can't get
• 49:45
  over the hard tackles with no pads. With the injury to Josiah Trotter,
• 49:49
  perhaps Mountaineer should look down Under for a backup linebacker. Also, the more
• 49:54
  I watch these matches, the more I'm struck by how well the players can
• 49:58
  catch the ball. They play with big, ugly, oblong balls that have
• 50:02
  to be hard to catch. Compared to an American football. We could find
• 50:06
  a receiver or two over here. Hope to come home for the spring game,
• 50:08
  but it's a long way from Sydney to Morgantown. I love the show
• 50:13
  Paul from Fincastle. Have you ever been to Australia? Have not? Why?
• 50:15
  That's that's a big. That's a big you'll go there, you know?
• 50:19
  Well? Two things, One is that's a long one. That's a
• 50:22
  big one. It mean what does that mean? I mean that's a big
• 50:24
  trip. That's a long time to get there. It's a long way to
• 50:28
  go. It's expensive to get there. Also in terms of this is from
• 50:31
  the guy that's going to Africa, Australia. Australia's real far away. He's
• 50:36
  going to Africa and this and no, no offense Australia, all due respect
• 50:39
  Australia. We're gonna have two of the three of us have offended the continent.
• 50:44
  Here we go, with all due respect to Australia. Of the many
• 50:47
  places you can go in the world, it's not it's not very culturally deep,
• 50:52
  but it hasn't been around that long, so there are many other places
• 50:54
  that culturally probably is not going well, have a lot more time. Do
• 51:00
  you think he hammers CPAs you just what are you doing them? It just
• 51:02
  took a shot at the culture and customs when you get there, when you're
• 51:07
  gonna find you're gonna want to go to Australia one day and now this is
• 51:09
  gonna come up, You're gonna get in de danged well, I mean not
• 51:13
  culturally relevant. Is that what you called him? Or cultural what do you
• 51:15
  say not culturally deep hoppy? Kirchival said that I did not. He walks
• 51:20
  there, goes into Melbourne, says, you guys got anything here older than
• 51:23
  nineteen thirty? It's probably probably probably didn't move on, Move on. Now
• 51:30
  we got Oliver Straw on the transfer portals. It's a good idea on a
• 51:35
  receiver a linebacker. No chance now after Kirchival just attacked him. Wow,
• 51:38
  okay, j D from the Southern ask excuse me, let me ask you.
• 51:43
  I don't ask him because he'll offend him as well. Just let's go
• 51:45
  ahead. He'll say something he shouldn't too. What do you think has more?
• 51:51
  What country do you think has more to offer? Italy or Australia in
• 51:54
  terms of a visit. There's a lot of Italians in Australia, believe it
• 51:59
  or not, but Italy, I mean it does. But I would love
• 52:01
  to go. I've only heard great things about Australia and great things about New
• 52:05
  Zealand. It's all that air. I'd love to go do that. I
• 52:07
  just don't have the time. Good safe for the podcast, Thank you,
• 52:12
  Brad. I don't have the vacation time. Maybe maybe I show to you
• 52:19
  every day, but maybe some people do. Maybe some people do it.
• 52:28
  Text her, Hey, three guys, I can't wait to hear them about
• 52:32
  Tony's last meal. Oh God, sounds like a great idea, as long
• 52:37
  as you weren't actually for real facing the hangman who could eat in that situation?
• 52:42
  Eating great food and drinking great drinks while you can still enjoy them sounds
• 52:45
  brilliant to me. It's not more, but it's enjoying the best of the
• 52:47
  best while you're still lousid enough to appreciate such things. I'd like to know
• 52:52
  what each of you would have had for your final meal, whether you knew
• 52:55
  it was your last meal or not. I'll take pulled pork barbecue, but
• 52:58
  if my mom is listening, I'll go with the meat loaf, which is
• 53:00
  excellent. Signed by j D in the Southern Coalfields. So we had our
• 53:05
  last supper. Stop calling it that. Just say you got together with some
• 53:07
  guys and you had a great meal. To stop calling it what you're calling
• 53:12
  it. It's incredibly bad karma and knock it off. So just call it
• 53:16
  the meal and let's go with that. Now. I'll talk about it all
• 53:20
  day long with you. Quit labeling it as you're labeling also maybe a little
• 53:22
  bit sacrilegious. We had the last supper last Friday. It was absolutely off
• 53:30
  the chart fantastic and it became emotional. What do you mean, because when
• 53:35
  you sat down to eat the meal, as you ate, had to go
• 53:37
  around the table and explain what it was that you had prepared, why you
• 53:43
  prepared that, where you would like to have your last meal, and with
• 53:46
  whom you would love to have your last meal with. It was really really
• 53:50
  good. It was really good. It brings out what you really truly love.
• 53:54
  It was fantastic. Did you say Joan, Yeah, I said Christmas
• 54:00
  Eve? Probably I probably didn't call her my name though my family my other
• 54:06
  one, uh, it was Christmas shall not be It was Christmas Eve.
• 54:13
  It was Christmas Eve at my at my parents' house with family and my two
• 54:19
  foods that I made were both peasant food were peasant food, Yeah, beans
• 54:25
  and greens, candelini beans with escrow breadcrumbs, cheese. It was fantastic.
• 54:31
  And chicken parmigan, which received this incredible ray from all my guys. My
• 54:37
  boy Dino, yeah, you know what his was? His was TNL hot
• 54:42
  dogs. What Yeah, teas was the last meal. He wanted to tea
• 54:45
  in the hot dogs. So you know what had happened when we got to
• 54:46
  it. We pulled up into his driveway. He had the TNL hot guy,
• 54:52
  full cart, the umbrella and everything, and you just go there and
• 54:55
  get whatever kind of dog you wanted. At one point, my late I
• 55:00
  had two plates. At one point my plate was it was a homemade fried
• 55:07
  chicken, a lamb chop, and a TNL hot dog. That was my
• 55:12
  second plate. Wow, that was really good. See, I'd love to
• 55:15
  get into this conversation, but I'm not because of the reason that just my
• 55:17
  stance on the subject matter. But I'd really like to have this discussion.
• 55:22
  I set under the current banner though, that it's being couched as I think
• 55:24
  that mine would have to be something that would really make me sick, because
• 55:29
  then I'd think put me out of my misery. No, you guys took
• 55:32
  it from the wrong perception. Look, if you enjoyed it, that's fine.
• 55:36
  It does send a little more. I'll show you guys pictures later.
• 55:38
  Okay, congratulations, Tony. My parents made me grow up in the backwoods
• 55:42
  of Preston County, no TV, so I have fond memories growing up listening
• 55:45
  to you call games on the radio. I still don't own a TV,
• 55:47
  but that is my choice these days. I also wanted to share this picture
• 55:52
  of my son, Dawson and Burdette the chicken Garrett in Alaska where we just
• 55:59
  hit fifty degrees for the first time in seven months. Look at that cutie.
• 56:04
  Where's the chicken right between his legs? Done? Good to see him.
• 56:12
  Boy, that'd be some good wings in a couple of months. It's
• 56:15
  the kid's chicken and not for long. Hey, three guys, wrong with
• 56:20
  you? Is there anything you see you don't think about eating? What are
• 56:27

• 56:45
  Burdette, you're killing a continent talking about last time. I mean,
• 56:49
  this is ridiculous. What is happening? Well, I didn't say I'd eat
• 56:52
  the boys chicken. You just attack the country for not being very culturally deep.
• 56:58
  Culturally deep, I just said there are other hundreds of millions of people.
• 57:04
  There's not hundreds of I'll check. Oh boy, the gi doctor wrote
• 57:12
  in sent me a distribution list buy rec's product percentage of peanut butter in each

  thing you close to being right. The egg has the second most peanut butter.
• 57:27
  The heart actually hasn't more peanut butter for valent Time's Day. Yeah,
• 57:30
  well, remember mine was I was just shape versus regular was the debate,
• 57:35
  not the individual shape. No, any shape. I am available for any
• 57:42
  shape. I mean, I'll eat the regular ones too, just but the
• 57:45
  shapes have quickly moved forward. If I was choosing and both are in front

  Rewind back to Rashid Marshall episode Tony, how dare you laugh at Hopy for
• 58:30
  mentioning how nice the parking situation is at WUVU baseball games. It's noticeably nice
• 58:36
  to us common folk. Parking at WUVU football and basketball is a complete disaster.
• 58:43
  It makes me not even want to attend. Sure it's no problem for
• 58:46
  folks with parking passes, but for the general public it is a huge pain
• 58:51
  in the arse. Thank you. They talk about working on the fan experience.
• 58:55
  I know it's not easy, but fixing fan parking needs to be a
• 58:59
  prior already. Thanks for listening to my ramp. Probably should have just vented
• 59:02
  on Steam release. Lol. You guys are great. Your summer series always
• 59:07
  great. Looking forward to many more episodes. Thanks for the great entertainment week
• 59:10
  in, week out. Real quick. That's a tremendous point. Well taken.
• 59:17
  But here's the thing I think the texture had there on context there.
• 59:22
  We weren't taunting him for liking the available easy parking. We were taunting him
• 59:28
  for acting like the stadium opened the other day for the first time when he
• 59:30
  went dang, thing's been there for a decade, games all the time,
• 59:36
  and him just discovering that there was parking correct now is what the issue was,
• 59:40
  Texter. But nice to have fair point on your part. Thank you,
• 59:45
  Texter. If you were astonished copy at the fact that at the baseball
• 59:49
  games you can get a seat, a beverage, and a hot dog,
• 59:52
  you'd just be transfixed with the Saturday nights at Gomart Ballpark, home of the
• 59:55
  Charleston Dirty Birds. Every Saturday at home you can get the were mentioned,
• 1:00:00
  watch the game, and then after the game watch a fireworks display. Hope
• 1:00:05
  you can get to a game sometime. I have to leave earlier because the
• 1:00:07
  parking. Yeah yeah, All I was trying to do was to say that
• 1:00:13
  you could have a nice experience at the ballpark with a beverage, with a
• 1:00:17
  hot dog with parking, and it was a nice experience, that's all.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah. Yeah, well you conveyed that message. You got that through just
• 1:00:29
  receiving reconnaissance information here from our supplier guys. Cans will sell out quick between
• 1:00:38

• 1:02:00
  to my trial attorney or my trial professor Chuck de Salvo. Fall semester eighty
• 1:02:06
  eight crew went almost to all the away games that undefeated season. We asked
• 1:02:09
  him if he could postpone a project do Monday four of us we're going to
• 1:02:13
  the ECU game long way from Morgantown. He replied, we could all simply
• 1:02:16
  take our books and study in the car. Great idea. We absolutely did
• 1:02:21
  not take him up on that and didn't study a lick scrambled back home Sunday,
• 1:02:24
  victory in hand, studied Monday. I have absolutely no memory of what
• 1:02:29
  project was or the Great Ever Sea, but I finally remember every detail of

• 1:02:45
  Yeah, Chuck has Chuck is one of those people, rare people. He
• 1:02:52
  just has a kind soul, yes, and when you're around him, you
• 1:02:55
  just feel feel good and you're around him, you just go like, why
• 1:02:59
  can't I'd be like that? I think else said that. I think that
• 1:03:07
  says a lot about you, you know who else? I had that feeling
• 1:03:09
  with Tony Dungee. I had a had a dinner with Tony Dungee at an
• 1:03:14
  FCAVN and Beckley many years ago, and I having dinner, I'm going like,
• 1:03:19
  why can't I act like that? You know what? Because some people
• 1:03:22
  are just better than all the people. While you're laughing, I'm with you
• 1:03:28
  and I would probably do the same, That's what I'm laughing at. Yeah,
• 1:03:31
  better, They're a better person. Can I can some of that come
• 1:03:35
  on me? I mean, can you give me feel me a little a
• 1:03:36
  little bit of that text or gentleman, I just heard your twenty seven minute
• 1:03:39
  intro on the gomart website with your three chipmunks, and I failed to hear
• 1:03:44
  anyone mentioned. But I'm assuming that it's a go fur because the slogan is

  around Mooresville, North Carolina, two weekends ago, looking for the local home
• 1:04:16
  depot you frequent when my six year old son says, I gotta ask you
• 1:04:19
  a question, Daddy, do you know what a mothman is? I informed
• 1:04:24
  him that the Mothman lives in West Virginia. The guy in the show We're
• 1:04:27
  always listening to his friends with the Mothman. One question, how a six
• 1:04:30
  year old living in North Carolina knew who the Mothman was. He claimed that
• 1:04:33
  there was a book on him in his school's library. Luckily, sharp kid
• 1:04:38
  also reminded me that Mooresville is the world headquarter of lows and we don't have

  hope it doesn't cost you too much hush money to leave the producer battered,
• 1:05:20
  blooding, and left for dead on the floor within the first eight seconds of

  your last episode. Way to Soldier on Taylor Tyler, John F. Kennedy,

  Airport Jingle, Imershment Consolidated Kennedy. I know Hopey has some farm days

• 1:05:38
  The way he rappered fired Kingdom Filum class order, family genus species like
• 1:05:42
  an M sixty machine gun, you'd think he's teaching classes. I don't know
• 1:05:46
  where. Great interview with Jordan. I hope he can parlay it into some
• 1:05:50
  more social media dollars because it sounds like he's on the hook for the Clubman
• 1:05:55
  time. With all the food talk on this show, I don't know if
• 1:06:00
  we've ever covered cheese. It's bought a family sized box which has about five
• 1:06:05
  hundred forty crackers three days ago. I don't even remember tasting, but they're
• 1:06:10
  gone. Where do you guys have cheese? It's on your Game Time snack
• 1:06:15
  rankings. I love the show. Hi, I can't do those that cheese

  Kircheville Texter, Three guys, last episode you mentioned Touchdown City. Back in
• 1:07:15
  nineteen ninety and nine, I had a Touchdown City hat, my favorite hat.
• 1:07:20
  I took it off during a movie to make it easier to sneak some
• 1:07:24
  kisses from my girlfriend who's now my wife, and I accidentally left it at
• 1:07:29
  the Ohio Valley Mall theater fail. Never found, and over the last twenty
• 1:07:32
  four years, my wife and I have looked for a replacement, no success.
• 1:07:36
  Why did this moniker get retired? Did the Senator have something to do
• 1:07:40
  with this when he was working in the department, Simon, Matt and Tulsa.
• 1:07:44
  No, Hey, touchdown Tailgate guys. If you guys still do the
• 1:07:48
  hat, let's get a hat, Let's get it to this guy. Texter
• 1:07:54
  Scope spreads. Dean couldn't help but snicker at this one. So I had
• 1:07:56
  to share with three guys. Even one of the biggest news organizations in the
• 1:07:59
  world reporting on the Biggest Story List, their updates for everyone in the country,
• 1:08:02
  and look Eastern time. Ye beats Pitt, not Charlie and Charleston Boom.
• 1:08:11
  The Big Twelve is the last remaining organization that doesn't acknowledge Eastern timeline.
• 1:08:14
  It's unbelievable. I'll tell you what I don't know. I doubt he's coming
• 1:08:16
  next time I see the Commissioner is true? It is true. Hey guys.

  Gaale from Martinsburg with a few random observations, thoroughly enjoying the summer series.
• 1:08:26
  Eric Rashid Jordan phenomenal guest, and they've set a high bar for those
• 1:08:30
  following. Although I don't own hunting property and I have no claim to mineral
• 1:08:33
  rights anywhere, I do pass this dilapidated barn in the field on my way
• 1:08:36
  to work every day. Deer and Turkey's frequently cited in said field. It's
• 1:08:42
  almost as good as having a camp, and I don't have to pay the
• 1:08:45
  taxes. I too, owned a Chevy vet back when I commuted to Shephard
• 1:08:49
  every day for four years in that car. Stick shift challenge at first,
• 1:08:54
  but I eventually found the sweet spot with that clutch and the gas didn't stall
• 1:08:57
  out how to wait my turn at a four way stop at Duke and Germans.
• 1:09:00
  I knew it car had over one hundred thousand miles on when we finally
• 1:09:02
  sold it. I'm wishing you the very best this event Friday. Hopefully Hoppy
• 1:09:08
  has such a good time that he actually brings the whole entries to the Eastern
• 1:09:11
  Panhandle to share some kurch of Alan barbecue with us. I love the show,
• 1:09:14
  you guys brighten my day. We should do a show at the Bavarian.
• 1:09:20
  Is this the last one center? Yeah? Texter Laura from Cincinnata via
• 1:09:28
  Mineral County, thought i'd add that in. I know you guys appreciate all
• 1:09:31
  sports at WVU, and I thought i'd highlight the WVU English equestrian team.
• 1:09:36
  My daughter Joel and her teammates won their region and made it to the zones,
• 1:09:43
  quite an accomplishment. They competed recently Saratoga Springs, New York against some
• 1:09:46
  elite private colleges. They will not lead to Nationals. They will not head
• 1:09:50
  to the nationals. However, as the little video clip shows, despite where
• 1:09:54
  they place, they all had smiles and sang our favorite song when leaving the
• 1:09:57
  horse show. Thanks for sharing. Love the summers there, so you go.
• 1:10:00
  Congratulations to the equestrian team. And up there at Saratoga Springs. That
• 1:10:03
  is a rather snooty country. I'm glad you represented a public state land grand
• 1:10:09
  institution rather than those private little snot bags. They were probably given equestrian lessons
• 1:10:15
  from the time that they were toddlers. Well, there you go, congrats.
• 1:10:18
  Was there two pictures on that, Taylor? I thought there was a
• 1:10:21
  yeah there, look guys, Yeah, there they are. Yeah, so
• 1:10:25
  there you go. Well, no, so that's it for now. I'm
• 1:10:30
  going to save the rest of these and use the rest use them in another
• 1:10:32
  show. You gotta get ready for them, Yeah, we do at an
• 1:10:35
  event. You gotta hurt, gotta go somewhere. Every hate to run.
