- 10:03Speaker 1: when it's over.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Now, what you don't know, My guy Jake Auer might
- 10:06Speaker 2: come in there off the bench start lighting people up.
- 10:07Speaker 1: He could, he could three point threat. Three point threat.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I haven't told you about that, did I know? So
- 10:14Speaker 1: the kid that played at his high school is now
- 10:16Speaker 1: a walk on for the Mountaineers. And we went over
- 10:18Speaker 1: to practice. We went over to practice and Johnny and
- 10:23Speaker 1: Johnny nervous boy over here goes yea. I wonder, I
- 10:26Speaker 1: wonder if he broke my three point record?
- 10:28Speaker 2: Right?
- 10:29Speaker 1: He couldn't. He couldn't, like he ran faster. The kid
- 10:32Speaker 1: to ask him. Then the kids were running sold on
- 10:34Speaker 1: if you're going to tell story. The head basketball coach
- 10:37Speaker 1: asked the kid, I didn't ask him. You were nervous.
- 10:39Speaker 1: You asked Darren to ask him.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I did not ask Darren to ask him. I'm just
- 10:42Speaker 2: saying I was talking to Darren about it, and the
- 10:43Speaker 2: head coach immediately stop practice.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And that's the kid, you said, and you had eight
- 10:48Speaker 1: and you were nervous. What year was your last year?
- 10:51Speaker 2: Eighty nine?
- 10:52Speaker 1: So it's been a while, been a while, thirty five years.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, did he break the record?
- 10:58Speaker 1: He thought that he did, and then he came back
- 11:00Speaker 1: the next day and say, hey, I did go check.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I had seven a bunch of times, but I never
- 11:05Speaker 1: had eight.
- 11:06Speaker 2: The record hold. I need to get that confirmed, because
- 11:10Speaker 2: Jake's really, really good kid. I think he was just
- 11:12Speaker 2: pandering to me because I'm the old guy in there.
- 11:14Speaker 2: I think he might actually had eight. He says seven,
- 11:17Speaker 2: so it may still stand. Yeah, we're gonna check that.
- 11:20Speaker 2: That's that's all I got left, man, that's all. That's all.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I'm still hanging on. That's all I got left.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, help me how it's another one. That's
- 11:28Speaker 3: eight three pointers.

- 11:42Speaker 1: that's the Kansas game, I'm sorry, the fourth game of
- 11:44Speaker 1: the season. I think it's the twentieth the Kansas game.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And that's always fun to do. It's free inside the
- 11:50Speaker 1: Caperton Indoor Practice Facility and good class and hoppy. You
- 11:55Speaker 1: you talked, you've you learned about the story of Betty Hushla.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Incredible story this week. And I love the story because
- 12:02Speaker 3: I because I didn't know.
- 12:03Speaker 1: No one knows, no one really, I'd say, like less
- 12:06Speaker 1: than one percent of Mountaineer fans know that story.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely less than one percent. And Brad you know
- 12:12Speaker 3: the story now right, he.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Doesn't know the story.
- 12:14Speaker 3: And she was a female swimmer, came to WV from
- 12:18Speaker 3: New York State, I believe, came to West Virginia because
- 12:20Speaker 3: she could be on the swim team and was on
- 12:22Speaker 3: the men's swim team, didn't have a women's swim team,
- 12:24Speaker 3: didn't and was competitive and was winning races and was
- 12:29Speaker 3: was excelling. And then a Tony, you might have to
- 12:31Speaker 3: refresh me a little bit, and went to the Southern
- 12:33Speaker 3: Conference tournament, So conference, Southern Conference.
- 12:36Speaker 1: And they would can't compete.
- 12:37Speaker 3: They would and this is before title nine, and would
- 12:39Speaker 3: not let her compete. And WVU, to their credit, the
- 12:43Speaker 3: late Betty Boyd, who was dean of women here at
- 12:46Speaker 3: w put together a protest for it and two thousand
- 12:49Speaker 3: people signed it. But the Southern Conference didn't give in
- 12:51Speaker 3: and she did not get to participate, even though West
- 12:54Speaker 3: Virginia objected. And that was the last time she swam.
- 12:57Speaker 3: I don't think she swam after that, but she was.
- 13:00Speaker 3: She was groundbreaking before people were breaking ground in the
- 13:03Speaker 3: title nine.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Before female athletics. Yeah, before women's athletics.
- 13:06Speaker 2: And it's just a remarkable story.
- 13:08Speaker 3: And Tony, credit to you and that organization that that
- 13:12Speaker 3: group that comes up with the names of including her
- 13:14Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame.
- 13:15Speaker 1: A lot of that was John Antonic. He he he
- 13:18Speaker 1: learned of the story and said, wait a second, this
- 13:20Speaker 1: is historic. Yeah, this is this is wild just to
- 13:23Speaker 1: me back in the day, like the vision that I
- 13:26Speaker 1: get in my head when the Southern Conference said no
- 13:29Speaker 1: to her. Why do I just think like a dude
- 13:33Speaker 1: in a seer sucker suit, right, like one of them
- 13:36Speaker 1: stupid hats that the guy wins wears at the Nathan
- 13:39Speaker 1: Hot Dog contest every before. Now, I'm gonna tell you
- 13:42Speaker 1: something right now, If West Virginia thinks they're going to
- 13:45Speaker 1: bring a lady down here and competing men who no, no, no,
- 13:49Speaker 1: why do I think? Why's that voice in my head?
- 13:51Speaker 1: I just think of a foghorn leghorned dude at the
- 13:54Speaker 1: Southern Conference going like, nope, no, no, not gonna happen here.
- 13:58Speaker 2: That was when six shoo sixty three sixty four, right and.
- 14:03Speaker 1: There you know not story. It's a great story.
- 14:07Speaker 2: It was a great story. And she's she's passed. But
- 14:10Speaker 2: there's her sister, sister.
- 14:12Speaker 3: It's gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be a sister, all right,
- 14:15Speaker 3: So go ahead, Oh what you were a practice?
- 14:18Speaker 1: Oh I'd like to. I want to. I want to
- 14:20Speaker 1: hear I want to hear your take.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I'm still giddy the well, look it's August, so every
- 14:27Speaker 3: every team everywhere is optimistic, right, and every coach is optimistic.
- 14:32Speaker 1: But they should be right. Hope springs eternal, Yeah.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Exactly, and coaches by nature optimistic, and so you got
- 14:38Speaker 3: to temper that a little bit. But I tell you
- 14:39Speaker 3: what brand I want to play little game with. He's
- 14:41Speaker 3: like pointing to the guy in money ball game.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Okay?
- 14:44Speaker 3: Is that comparing this right now? Just comparing this team
- 14:48Speaker 3: where it is now to some of the previous teams
- 14:50Speaker 3: and and where the mindset is. So let's take a
- 14:53Speaker 3: couple of things. Uh, last year this time, whether or
- 14:56Speaker 3: not the head ball coach would make it through the season.
- 14:58Speaker 3: This year, totally fine, Totally fine. Last year we kind
- 15:03Speaker 3: of knew by this time an extension in fact, yeah,
- 15:05Speaker 3: Garrett Green was going to be the quarterback, but weren't sure.
- 15:08Speaker 2: It was still untested. This year Heisman candidate, every watch
- 15:11Speaker 2: list there is now finally the nation is waking up
- 15:13Speaker 2: to what we've been saying for a year, starting to
- 15:15Speaker 2: come around to the Garrett Green hype.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Last year, we knew CJ Donaldson, but could he stay healthy?
- 15:20Speaker 3: Is there's somebody else that can carry the ball?
- 15:22Speaker 2: CJ was very good, but all you did was put
- 15:24Speaker 2: in another true freshman and Jahem White, who led the
- 15:26Speaker 2: team in rushing.
- 15:27Speaker 3: One of the things we talked about a lot over
- 15:29Speaker 3: the last couple of years was receivers. Do you have depth?
- 15:32Speaker 3: Do you have somebody who can make plays?
- 15:33Speaker 4: This year?
- 15:34Speaker 2: Now you have so many receivers, the question is going
- 15:36Speaker 2: to be can you keep everybody happy and get them
- 15:37Speaker 2: the ball?
- 15:38Speaker 3: Last year and in previous years it was all depth.
- 15:41Speaker 3: We don't have depth. Defensive backfield was suspect last year.
- 15:45Speaker 2: This year, same thing. Multiple guys, sixteen different defensive backs
- 15:49Speaker 2: that are going to see some time potentially.
- 15:50Speaker 3: So the point being is that will this team have deficiencies? Yeah,
- 15:55Speaker 3: because you're not Georgia, right, every team will have some deficiencies.
- 15:59Speaker 3: But how many years have we looked at these teams
- 16:02Speaker 3: since Neil Brown came in and wondered Tony and one
- 16:04Speaker 3: are like, oh my gosh, can they run the ball?
- 16:07Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, can they there's a quarterback going to
- 16:09Speaker 3: be able to get you a third down completion?
- 16:12Speaker 2: Can the defense stop anybody?
- 16:14Speaker 3: And you do not have those glaring weaknesses that stood
- 16:19Speaker 3: out in previous years. Now what does that lead to
- 16:21Speaker 3: this season? I don't know, but I think what stands
- 16:23Speaker 3: out to me early is not having the glaring weaknesses
- 16:27Speaker 3: of previous seasons.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Spot on. They have built everything back up to where
- 16:33Speaker 1: it needs to be to be competitive week in and
- 16:35Speaker 1: week out. But as you said, it's a weird game.
- 16:38Speaker 1: You know how that full bounces on a Saturday remains
- 16:40Speaker 1: to be seen. But at least you go into every
- 16:42Speaker 1: single one of these games now with the opportunity to
- 16:45Speaker 1: win each game, where in the past several years that
- 16:48Speaker 1: hasn't been the case.
- 16:48Speaker 2: We did it hopy on Sports Signed last night. We
- 16:50Speaker 2: went through just offensively at the skills side of things,
- 16:53Speaker 2: because that, to me is what jumps out this year
- 16:56Speaker 2: is I made the point a couple of years ago
- 16:58Speaker 2: we'd sit around and say, all right, it's third and three,
- 17:02Speaker 2: who do you give it to? What are yours? You
- 17:04Speaker 2: don't really have as many options this year. What do
- 17:06Speaker 2: we get to eleven? Last night? Like legitimate guys that
- 17:09Speaker 2: you could say, all right, they can get the ball
- 17:11Speaker 2: and make a play for you. That's just on the
- 17:12Speaker 2: offensive side. That doesn't get to the defense. I think
- 17:15Speaker 2: you're in a really great spot. Are there questions? Yes,
- 17:17Speaker 2: there always is, But I think you enter this season
- 17:19Speaker 2: with The excitement that's around this program is deserved. It
- 17:23Speaker 2: should be there. Now. The biggest question to me isn't
- 17:26Speaker 2: so much about this Mountaineer team, although there are some,
- 17:29Speaker 2: It's really just what this league is going to look
- 17:30Speaker 2: like because the key to this season, guys, is going
- 17:33Speaker 2: to be not the health and turnover situation that it
- 17:36Speaker 2: always is. Put those aside. This to me is about
- 17:38Speaker 2: winning close games. That's going to determine how teams in
- 17:42Speaker 2: this league are slotted. Can you win close games? Because
- 17:44Speaker 2: I think you're in for playing a bunch of them.
- 17:46Speaker 3: And what did Neil Brown say to this press conference yesterday, Tony,
- 17:49Speaker 3: He talked about working on that. Offensively inside the red zone,
- 17:53Speaker 3: defensively inside the red zone. When you get in that
- 17:56Speaker 3: red zone.
- 17:56Speaker 2: What do you gotta do? Red What do you gotta get? Well,
- 17:58Speaker 2: you not only have to score, you've got to score
- 17:59Speaker 2: a touch sounds. And last year West Virginia was in
- 18:01Speaker 2: the seventies nationally and just a little below the midway point,
- 18:05Speaker 2: averaged a touchdown sixty percent of the time they were
- 18:07Speaker 2: in the red zone. So and that was a very
- 18:09Speaker 2: good offense, especially by the end of the year, that
- 18:11Speaker 2: was clicking. That has to kick up a little bit
- 18:14Speaker 2: if you're going to pick off a couple more of
- 18:15Speaker 2: those close games and do what this team wants to
- 18:17Speaker 2: do this year. But again, with all those weapons, you
- 18:20Speaker 2: feel like that's a realistic goal. That's not a coach
- 18:22Speaker 2: just saying, hey, this has to get better. That's something
- 18:25Speaker 2: that could get better. There is a lot of options
- 18:27Speaker 2: when you get down inside that red zone, and you
- 18:29Speaker 2: don't have.
- 18:30Speaker 3: To be you don't have to be dramatically better. Okay,
- 18:33Speaker 3: you can just be like fifteen percent better, right, and
- 18:37Speaker 3: you'll and and that'll make a difference.
- 18:40Speaker 2: So well, fifteen percent would be a massive jump up
- 18:43Speaker 2: that almost that puts you tops in the country. All right,
- 18:46Speaker 2: five percent, Yeah, that's what. All right, it's a it's
- 18:48Speaker 2: an even smaller window. If you just get a five
- 18:50Speaker 2: to eight to ten percent better, you really elevate.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Your in your red zone trips, you score a touchdownstead
- 18:57Speaker 3: of a field goal once.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Right, anyway, all.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Right, so let's break it down a little further to
- 19:03Speaker 1: do a deeper dive.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Okay, you have something, well, I just jehemas.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like you got your notepad there,
- 19:09Speaker 1: I do notepad here?
- 19:11Speaker 3: Go ahead, Well, Jeheim White and we mentioned him, and
- 19:14Speaker 3: I mean, that's an obvious story.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But he ended up with nine.
- 19:19Speaker 3: He ended up with eight hundred and seventy one yards. Right,
- 19:24Speaker 3: five hundred seventy percent of those yards were from Cincinnati forward,
- 19:28Speaker 3: so halfway through the season forward and then take out Dukine,
- 19:31Speaker 3: I mean, just take out du Kane.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Were he getting one hundred yards?
- 19:34Speaker 3: But so he wasn't carrying the ball until Cincinnati and
- 19:36Speaker 3: then he went BYU won forty eight, Oklahoma banded game
- 19:39Speaker 3: forty two, Cincinnati two ten, Baylor won forty and the
- 19:45Speaker 3: bowl game fifty four. So five hundred and ninety four
- 19:49Speaker 3: of his yards were in those last five games. So
- 19:55Speaker 3: if you continue that, if you say his season really
- 19:58Speaker 3: started mid season, and if he's able to pick up
- 20:00Speaker 3: where he left off, now we got to see what
- 20:02Speaker 3: the offensive line does. We understand that he would average
- 20:05Speaker 3: one hundred and nineteen yards a game. You take that,
- 20:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's huge. And the other point about that
- 20:11Speaker 3: is he had he had one hundred and nine carries.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Donaldson had won seventy one and Green had won twenty.
- 20:19Speaker 3: So with Green and white bread, you want to flip
- 20:22Speaker 3: that a little bit, right, I mean, you like it
- 20:23Speaker 3: when Green runs, but maybe have White have one hundred
- 20:25Speaker 3: and fifty and Green have ninety or eighty something like that.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a realistic.
- 20:31Speaker 2: It's really remarkable. That's a heck of a three headed
- 20:33Speaker 2: monster running the football. And we're going to talk about
- 20:36Speaker 2: the offensive line because the loss of Zach Frasier's obvious
- 20:39Speaker 2: and it's big and you've got to address it, and
- 20:41Speaker 2: we will talk about it. But man, that backfield did
- 20:44Speaker 2: just the options it presents with those three guys, and
- 20:47Speaker 2: what you saw from White at the end of the season,
- 20:50Speaker 2: it's pretty remarkable. In those limited carries for him, he
- 20:53Speaker 2: still ends up with the most missed tackles forced on
- 20:58Speaker 2: the team. Oh ahead of those guys. How about this.
- 21:00Speaker 2: This surprised me a little bit. Guys. He led the
- 21:02Speaker 2: team in yards after contact per attempt, even more so
- 21:05Speaker 2: than CJ. Donaldson. So he wasn't just elusive. He could
- 21:09Speaker 2: get through some tackles as well. So, yeah, White's obviously
- 21:13Speaker 2: a star in the making, if not already a star.
- 21:16Speaker 2: And that's just going to do nothing but make CJ better. Sure, right,
- 21:18Speaker 2: because now you get to keep them both fresh. CJ
- 21:21Speaker 2: returns from being dinged up all last year, I think
- 21:23Speaker 2: you're going to get a different CJ. Donaldson. And then oh,
- 21:26Speaker 2: by the way, you've got one of the best running
- 21:28Speaker 2: quarterbacks in this league.
- 21:29Speaker 5: There.
- 21:29Speaker 2: When all hell breaks loose and it breaks down and
- 21:31Speaker 2: you need to play, you just tell six to take
- 21:33Speaker 2: off and go do something.
- 21:34Speaker 1: So, with that being said, and have been a past
- 21:38Speaker 1: victim of preseason intoxication of hype, now I want to
- 21:45Speaker 1: play Devil's Advocate. Sure, and by the way, if you're
- 21:48Speaker 1: ever in Edinburgh, Scotland, there's a wonderful restaurant called Devil's Advocate.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Strongly suggested, Okay, what we're sitting here and everything is
- 21:59Speaker 1: cotton cane and puppy dog tails. Where should we be
- 22:03Speaker 1: concerned on offense? Right side of the offensive line?
- 22:07Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Also left side because as we heard, Wyatt milem has
- 22:15Speaker 3: to stay healthy. Sure, sure, well, everybody has to stay healthy.
- 22:19Speaker 3: But look, he's had some injuries and you got to
- 22:22Speaker 3: keep I mean, that's the strength Wyatt Mileam is the
- 22:24Speaker 3: strength of the line. But Brad, that's the strength of
- 22:27Speaker 3: your offensive line. But you think other teams know that
- 22:30Speaker 3: they do.
- 22:30Speaker 2: And so that that's going to be the test. Right,
- 22:33Speaker 2: You've got Brandon Yates, who had a really good season
- 22:35Speaker 2: sliding over to center. You have Jaque Hubbard, friend of
- 22:38Speaker 2: this show, and Nick Malone, who had really good seasons
- 22:41Speaker 2: last year filling in. We've talked about Malone a bunch,
- 22:43Speaker 2: playing in the different spots. He's going to be the
- 22:45Speaker 2: starting right tackle to open the season Jaque at that
- 22:48Speaker 2: right guard. The question just is how far forward have
- 22:51Speaker 2: they come? Number one? And then the backups that are
- 22:53Speaker 2: going to come in and spell them, are they able
- 22:56Speaker 2: to give you what those guys gave you last year's backups,
- 22:59Speaker 2: Because you've got to be able to keep the defense
- 23:02Speaker 2: at least somewhat confused as to which side you're gonna run.
- 23:05Speaker 2: They're gonna load left and tell you, Okay, you want
- 23:07Speaker 2: to beat us, you're gonna have to run to the
- 23:09Speaker 2: right side against us. Can you do that? If West
- 23:12Speaker 2: Virginia can do that enough to keep you honest, then
- 23:15Speaker 2: all the stuff offensively starts rolling.
- 23:17Speaker 1: They've got the opportunity offensively to run some what album
- 23:20Speaker 1: was just going to kind of a weird non football word,
- 23:24Speaker 1: but they run some really cute stuff on offense. Oftentimes
- 23:27Speaker 1: in basketball we always say so and so coach runs
- 23:30Speaker 1: really good stuff because of the pieces that you have
- 23:34Speaker 1: now they can do some really neat looking things on offense.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Just opportunities and just come to the line of scrimmage
- 23:43Speaker 1: with three distinct different options based upon your defensive formation
- 23:49Speaker 1: and run stuff. You watch it in practice and you
- 23:51Speaker 1: go like, that's pretty good. We're in the past. I
- 23:54Speaker 1: think watching everything was kind of a chore. Everything was
- 23:58Speaker 1: hard to, you know, hard to it's fit to do
- 24:00Speaker 1: a stablish Now I'm I'm seeing boom boom, boom, crispness.
- 24:04Speaker 2: That is your right eye catching you're humpson right now.
- 24:07Speaker 2: There's two parts of that and the biggest key to
- 24:09Speaker 2: this offense before the right side of the offensive line,
- 24:11Speaker 2: before getting the ball. Just limit turnovers like you did
- 24:15Speaker 2: last year. That's part of why this offense could click
- 24:17Speaker 2: so much because you just didn't turn it over. You
- 24:19Speaker 2: kept the ball. Garrett was unbelievably good and judicious with
- 24:22Speaker 2: his passing attempts, didn't force many balls at all last season.
- 24:26Speaker 2: That allowed you to be really efficient.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Tony.
- 24:28Speaker 2: To your point, we sat there yesterday and watched one
- 24:30Speaker 2: particular drill and we spent a lot of time talking
- 24:32Speaker 2: about this. At the end of last year, hop when
- 24:34Speaker 2: they would go into the same formation and run a
- 24:36Speaker 2: total We charted this in the bowl game, eight different plays,
- 24:39Speaker 2: different plays off one formation. You talk about causing chaos
- 24:43Speaker 2: for the defense. Yesterday they were working on a drill
- 24:45Speaker 2: where they did this. It was a passing play with
- 24:49Speaker 2: three different options to three different players that could potentially
- 24:52Speaker 2: catch the ball, all from a set that looked exactly
- 24:54Speaker 2: the same. So to your point, there is some really
- 24:57Speaker 2: fun stuff. And I thought you saw last year. We
- 24:59Speaker 2: said this go the last season. If they don't turn
- 25:01Speaker 2: the ball over, then you're going to get a chance
- 25:03Speaker 2: to see Neil Brown's creativity on offense. I thought by
- 25:06Speaker 2: the end of the season that was extremely evident as
- 25:08Speaker 2: you started seeing new wrinkles towards the end of the
- 25:11Speaker 2: year each week. The difference this year that starts from
- 25:14Speaker 2: week one. Penn State's going to see some more wrinkles
- 25:16Speaker 2: this year offensively that they did not see and then
- 25:19Speaker 2: they will not be able to see on film. It'll
- 25:20Speaker 2: look totally different at times. So I'm really excited to
- 25:23Speaker 2: watch this offense to go to work this season.
- 25:25Speaker 1: If you'd indulge me, I move away from our regularly
- 25:27Speaker 1: scheduled programming halftime scorer WVU men's basketball now leading now
- 25:37Speaker 1: leading stella hashtag EBK fifty seven thirty one. I'd called
- 25:41Speaker 1: for a sixty point half. They go fifty seven, but
- 25:44Speaker 1: big number coming out. Mountaineers hit ten threes in the
- 25:48Speaker 1: first half. They went ten to twenty two, just under
- 25:50Speaker 1: fifty percent from three scoring. Tucker Devrees had twenty six
- 25:56Speaker 1: of the team's fifty seven.
- 25:58Speaker 2: So he's down one.
- 25:59Speaker 3: He's done five five at the half.
- 26:01Speaker 1: At that time, Jaden Stone had thirteen, Javon had eight,
- 26:06Speaker 1: Buck and Toby each had five.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Okay, pretty good there.
- 26:10Speaker 1: You go.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Well on some nice three point shooting, and that's what
- 26:12Speaker 2: this team's gonna need to do. Guys, they're gonna have
- 26:14Speaker 2: to have multiple guys that make threes. DeVries. Can you
- 26:17Speaker 2: saw the freshman Jonathan Powell the other game, six six
- 26:19Speaker 2: shooting guard out of Ohio had five threes the other night.
- 26:22Speaker 2: He's he's kind of a wild card hobby watch him.
- 26:24Speaker 2: He's a great body, great skill set. If he can
- 26:28Speaker 2: come in and give you give you a few threes
- 26:29Speaker 2: each game. Look out there.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Okay early over under on wins in basketball, Yeah, yo.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Early, I'm not gonna hold anybody to it.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I'm not going on record yet. I gotta look at
- 26:40Speaker 2: the schedule. I gotta see when the schedule comes out completely.
- 26:43Speaker 3: All right, never mind Brett Tony you want to go, Yeah, okay,
- 26:49Speaker 3: I think people will like him.
- 26:51Speaker 1: I think it'll be they'll be a likable team that
- 26:53Speaker 1: plays really hard and it'll be fun to watch. But
- 26:56Speaker 1: do you have the talent on the night in out
- 27:00Speaker 1: basis in this league?
- 27:01Speaker 2: Oh, it's tough.
- 27:02Speaker 1: This leagu's take takes, it takes its kids.
- 27:05Speaker 2: It just yeah, that's why some of that hob that
- 27:07Speaker 2: that's going to depend on how the how the non
- 27:09Speaker 2: conference goes. I think this team will match up well
- 27:12Speaker 2: in the non conference, have a chance to win some
- 27:13Speaker 2: games there, But how many is that in the non conference?
- 27:16Speaker 2: Then that sets you up. You're gonna bet a size
- 27:18Speaker 2: disadvantage pretty much every night in this league. But you
- 27:20Speaker 2: have games like that where you're going to bust out
- 27:22Speaker 2: ten fifteen threes on a night someone's in some trouble
- 27:25Speaker 2: when you do that.
- 27:26Speaker 1: All right, back to football, back to a regularly scheduled programming. Defensively,
- 27:32Speaker 1: if I were say to you, are there any there's
- 27:37Speaker 1: always concerns on any team. Are there any acute concerns
- 27:42Speaker 1: for you.
- 27:42Speaker 2: You want me to start, sure, So I think there's well,
- 27:48Speaker 2: I don't think there's more depth than there's been all
- 27:51Speaker 2: all throughout the defense linebacker position in particular, defensive back
- 27:54Speaker 2: in particular as well. So your margin for air there
- 27:57Speaker 2: has increased because you have more guys that you can
- 28:00Speaker 2: put in. The questions to me are how quickly those
- 28:03Speaker 2: new guys in the defensive backfield can step up and
- 28:06Speaker 2: be real contributors at this level. Number one, and hand
- 28:09Speaker 2: in hand with that hop the pressure on the quarterback.
- 28:13Speaker 2: You've got some guys that you think can rush the quarterback.
- 28:16Speaker 2: But does Sean Martin become a guy that NFL scouts
- 28:19Speaker 2: are showing up every day to watch and turn into
- 28:22Speaker 2: a third round draft pick if he does? You like
- 28:25Speaker 2: this defense a lot. So there's a question. Ty French,
- 28:28Speaker 2: we've mentioned him many times from FCS Gardner Webb. Is
- 28:30Speaker 2: he a guy that can translate to this level? TJ
- 28:33Speaker 2: Jackson rushing the passer? So there's some guys that you
- 28:36Speaker 2: think are really talented. If they can step up and
- 28:38Speaker 2: perform like you think they can, I think this defense
- 28:41Speaker 2: can really elevate up. But those are the questions. Just
- 28:43Speaker 2: how do those guys look those new pieces mixed in there.
- 28:46Speaker 3: I think it was really helpful that when Ducaine came
- 28:49Speaker 3: to play West Virginia last year, it was a recruiting
- 28:51Speaker 3: visit for Aiden Garnes unofficial, and he was really impressed.
- 28:56Speaker 3: You liked it here. He was really impressed with the facilities,
- 28:59Speaker 3: felt like it was family, felt like it was home,
- 29:01Speaker 3: and so thank you very much, and came to West Virginia.
- 29:04Speaker 3: But you know, Tony, they're up on that guy, and
- 29:06Speaker 3: we watched him yesterday and receive Marshall friend of this
- 29:10Speaker 3: program likes him a lot.
- 29:12Speaker 1: But he loves Garnet Hollis. He was talking about.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Everybody likes Garnes is leading the coach mentioned index so.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Far, and he's Neil. Neil is now not being authentic
- 29:27Speaker 1: with his player mentions because he knows we're tracking. We're
- 29:30Speaker 1: tracking him, so he.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Garnes is the guy that is mentioned by the most
- 29:35Speaker 2: people in different areas of that program. Garns is getting
- 29:37Speaker 2: a lot of attention. So that's one of the questions.
- 29:39Speaker 2: You've seen this program under Neil have success with FCS
- 29:43Speaker 2: cornerbacks coming up and playing really well. Right Alonzo a
- 29:46Speaker 2: Die Charles Woods all Big twelve performers being the bishop
- 29:49Speaker 2: most recently comes from Western Kentucky, I know through Minnesota,
- 29:52Speaker 2: but was an FCS type of guy coming up or
- 29:54Speaker 2: a group of five guy coming up. So Garns Garns
- 29:57Speaker 2: is a big question. I assume. Yeah, they talk about
- 30:00Speaker 2: Hollis very highly. I assume Garnett Hollis is going to
- 30:03Speaker 2: be very good and fit right in. He started every
- 30:05Speaker 2: game for a Northwestern defense that was ranked above West
- 30:08Speaker 2: Virginia's last year. I think that's a guy. Just pen
- 30:11Speaker 2: him in and say he's going to play well. Garns
- 30:13Speaker 2: to me, is the question if he's as good as
- 30:15Speaker 2: they think he's going to be. Now you have two
- 30:17Speaker 2: corners you're comfortable in. Now those guys that are backups
- 30:20Speaker 2: that are filling in now you're cooking with.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Gas, or or if you have another corner established themselves
- 30:27Speaker 1: to the level that they're comfortable with making him a starter.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Garns to a safety spot is also not out of
- 30:32Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. Flirt around with that.
- 30:35Speaker 2: And Galler girl on defense. No, I don't think. I
- 30:39Speaker 2: mean that's just like situation or something.
- 30:42Speaker 1: It's like salt. It's like Salt see what it looks like.
- 30:46Speaker 2: They've got a bunch of guys that have played defense,
- 30:48Speaker 2: so we'll see. I think Gallagher's future still on the
- 30:50Speaker 2: offensive side of this season.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I would think so.
- 30:54Speaker 5: So.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Neil Brown addressed media members yesterday. We're talking about defense.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Why don't we get a little defense Austin And if
- 31:00Speaker 1: you would, let's drop to Neil Brown talking about Aubrey Burks. Now,
- 31:05Speaker 1: here's one of the guys that has been here for
- 31:08Speaker 1: a long long time. He's one of those guys. You know,
- 31:10Speaker 1: West Virginia did a great job of player retention in
- 31:13Speaker 1: the offseason. Yes, he was one that they really desperately
- 31:17Speaker 1: needed and wanted to keep. And here's Neil Brown talking
- 31:21Speaker 1: about Aubrey Burks in camp.
- 31:23Speaker 5: With Aubrey, I think his skill set, he's going to
- 31:26Speaker 5: play both.
- 31:26Speaker 6: He's still going to play his well I call hash
- 31:29Speaker 6: safety and he's going to play we call spirits really
- 31:32Speaker 6: a nickel position, well, bouncing back. Some of it will
- 31:35Speaker 6: be personnel base with offenses doing some of it will
- 31:38Speaker 6: be who we want to get on the field. You know,
- 31:40Speaker 6: if we want to play it with three linebackers, he'll
- 31:42Speaker 6: probably go back to safety. If we want to play
- 31:44Speaker 6: with five dbs and then he'll probably be in at
- 31:47Speaker 6: Spear so and that'll be game by game and he's
- 31:50Speaker 6: splitting his reps there.
- 31:51Speaker 5: He's going to continue to split his reps.
- 31:53Speaker 6: The thing that he's shown, and some of this has
- 31:56Speaker 6: been in some dime packages where we've used him down
- 31:58Speaker 6: there at that position, is he shown the ability play
- 32:01Speaker 6: man coverage. He's shown the ability to be a difficult
- 32:04Speaker 6: block on the perimeter and.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Then he will tackle.
- 32:07Speaker 6: He's a willing tackler and he's a plus blitzer, and
- 32:09Speaker 6: so I think those things have really and we have
- 32:13Speaker 6: more team speeds that can play in the backfield that allows.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Him to come up and play close to the ball
- 32:18Speaker 5: some here you.
- 32:19Speaker 1: O Neil on Aubrey Burks. I like that terminology user
- 32:22Speaker 1: Kat Spear, I call that a hash safety. Yeah, it
- 32:27Speaker 1: kind of works right.
- 32:28Speaker 2: What else I like is some of the trims he uses.
- 32:29Speaker 3: A willing tackler, A willing tackler.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Tony. He was a good off season
- 32:36Speaker 2: retention piece there as he comes in highest graded defender
- 32:39Speaker 2: last year for West Virginia, so he was critical to keep.
- 32:42Speaker 2: And also you heard Neil talking about right there the
- 32:44Speaker 2: versatility that he provides you. We're talking about on offense,
- 32:47Speaker 2: all the different things you can do. You're starting to
- 32:49Speaker 2: have some guys defensively that you can move into different spots.
- 32:52Speaker 2: That allows for different looks, disguise your looks a little bit,
- 32:55Speaker 2: and really set that defense up to improve.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Here's another one I wrote down earlier this week, hoppy,
- 33:00Speaker 1: because coaches they give you some of these football word gems.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Talking about a kid that doesn't run away from tackling.
- 33:09Speaker 1: He says, this player has. This wasn't Neil. This was
- 33:12Speaker 1: one of the assistants. He has. Contact courage.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Oh I like that too, right, Yeah.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Contact courage. You think that might be a three guys
- 33:21Speaker 1: T shirt? Contact courage? Pretty nice?
- 33:24Speaker 2: Yeah? You know he mentioned in their plus Blitzer meaning
- 33:27Speaker 2: he's really good blitzer. That'll be fun to watch. What
- 33:29Speaker 2: do we just say about getting to the passer? You
- 33:31Speaker 2: put Burks in a position where he can come and
- 33:33Speaker 2: get You had two sacks last year and only really
- 33:35Speaker 2: credited with four pass rush snaps. So he's a guy
- 33:37Speaker 2: that can get home as well. That's a nice little
- 33:39Speaker 2: piece there, rushing the passer.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Well, they talked about him in his high school days
- 33:43Speaker 1: and this was Shadon Brown the other day he said
- 33:46Speaker 1: he was a really good blitzer, like a really truly
- 33:49Speaker 1: good blitzer, And I think that does give those guys opportunities.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Middle linebacker spot. I keep watching that position and and
- 34:00Speaker 1: I just really really am encouraged and love what I
- 34:04Speaker 1: see from Josiah Trotter, who had to sit out last season.
- 34:08Speaker 1: What a started last year as a true freshman. I
- 34:11Speaker 1: have been a linebacker. He just goes and gets it.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Just nice, thick kid, you know, he just has that.
- 34:18Speaker 1: He's just a square body dude to just like a block.
- 34:24Speaker 1: He looks like a cinder block with really nice legs
- 34:27Speaker 1: that can really move.
- 34:28Speaker 2: But he can run. Yeah, but he can.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Run and move, and he's explosive and he brings he
- 34:33Speaker 1: brings a great deal of pursuit and pressure and contact
- 34:36Speaker 1: and physicality. I think our fans are really going to
- 34:38Speaker 1: like him.
- 34:39Speaker 2: I agree with you there as well. Injuries have seemed
- 34:42Speaker 2: to really hurt that position over the last years. He
- 34:45Speaker 2: finally got some depth for the first time in a
- 34:47Speaker 2: number of years. We've talked about Trade Lathan so much,
- 34:49Speaker 2: so he and Trotter can stay healthy. Right, you didn't
- 34:51Speaker 2: have Trotter as you just mentioned you lost laith in
- 34:54Speaker 2: early last year, so you have those guys, they stay healthy.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Now you're mixing in a guy like Ben Cutter who
- 34:58Speaker 2: played a ton of foot till yeah, and it's very good.
- 35:01Speaker 2: May not have to start. Maybe a guy that you
- 35:03Speaker 2: can bring in. Now you're really starting to roll a
- 35:06Speaker 2: little bit.
- 35:08Speaker 1: It's interesting. They're gonna scrimmage here. We're doing this Thursday,
- 35:11Speaker 1: so Saturday night they're going Saturday night lights at the stadium.
- 35:15Speaker 1: It's not open, but it's gonna be real. It's gonna
- 35:18Speaker 1: be eleven on eleven, and they're not gonna it's not
- 35:21Speaker 1: gonna be one of those practices where they start off
- 35:23Speaker 1: doing some drills and work on this and all of
- 35:25Speaker 1: a sudden, hey let's go scrimmage fifteen twenty snaps and
- 35:28Speaker 1: keep going like no drills, this is scrimmage time. Go
- 35:33Speaker 1: out there and show us that you can help us.
- 35:36Speaker 1: And that begins to separate. Then you've got that's the
- 35:39Speaker 1: end of Saturday, off Sunday, then one more full week
- 35:43Speaker 1: and then classes start the following week. So it's gonna
- 35:49Speaker 1: happen real quick where you're gonna get who's going to
- 35:51Speaker 1: be in the developmental squad. Who can we definitely play
- 35:55Speaker 1: with this year? And then there's that middle area of like,
- 35:58Speaker 1: can we trust you enough to play? That's really what
- 36:01Speaker 1: has to happen right now. They know who can play,
- 36:03Speaker 1: they know who can start. They go into those Saturday
- 36:08Speaker 1: scrimmage they want to know who could be our two,
- 36:11Speaker 1: who can be our three? Can we put you on
- 36:14Speaker 1: the field against Penn State, against whom ever and not
- 36:18Speaker 1: be worried that you're going to have a missed assignment
- 36:21Speaker 1: that could cost us points.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to see where this defense can go
- 36:25Speaker 2: because I think some of the national maybe underrating of
- 36:30Speaker 2: this team at least at this point in the season.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And again I'll keep saying it that I think this
- 36:34Speaker 2: schedule in this league is going to be really difficult,
- 36:36Speaker 2: But I think some of the underrating right now comes
- 36:38Speaker 2: from at least if you use those Vegas Power ratings,
- 36:41Speaker 2: national guys are underrating this defense a little bit because
- 36:44Speaker 2: the returning production doesn't look like it's there, right you.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Trotter didn't play, Leith admits so much time. Barnette Hollis
- 36:51Speaker 2: doesn't count as a returning starter, even though he should
- 36:54Speaker 2: in the New Age, didn't start for West Virginia Hoey.
- 36:56Speaker 2: He started every way for Northwestern, So I think this
- 36:58Speaker 2: defense potentially being underrated a bit if you don't follow
- 37:02Speaker 2: him day to day. Now they just have to go
- 37:04Speaker 2: do that on the field. They've got to execute, and
- 37:06Speaker 2: if they do, you figure the offense can be around
- 37:08Speaker 2: what it was if it improves, great. If it's around
- 37:11Speaker 2: what it was, which was a very very good offense
- 37:13Speaker 2: by the end of the year, that's where I think
- 37:15Speaker 2: the big jump and improvement can come from.
- 37:17Speaker 3: We talked too briefly about the depth at the receiver position,
- 37:22Speaker 3: and you look at those guys that have come in.
- 37:24Speaker 3: The Oklahoma State transfer Jaden bray Brad He's played a
- 37:28Speaker 3: lot of football.
- 37:29Speaker 2: He has three years caught like thirty passes.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Last year the Mississippi State transferred Robinson six four to two.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Twenty's big dude.
- 37:37Speaker 3: And you ask people around camp, you say, are they
- 37:41Speaker 3: gonna play? Oh, yeah, they'll play, you know. So it's
- 37:43Speaker 3: not like, well, we'll see, we're not sure. I mean,
- 37:45Speaker 3: these guys have played a lot of football, so it's
- 37:48Speaker 3: not new to them.
- 37:48Speaker 2: It's just where do they fit in.
- 37:50Speaker 3: But you feel like you've got you've got a couple
- 37:52Speaker 3: more weapons at that position.
- 37:54Speaker 1: At this point, I think you've legitimately got You legitimately
- 37:58Speaker 1: have six guys, and that's what you need, six guys
- 38:01Speaker 1: that they can trust to play. And there's a couple
- 38:04Speaker 1: of these freshmen that's not even including day Day Farmer
- 38:09Speaker 1: or the Raymond kid. The Raymond kid makes like every
- 38:14Speaker 1: time I go like, what who did eighteen? That's eighteen?
- 38:18Speaker 1: And who's his eighteen? Look at eighteen? Raymond Raymond, Raymond Raymond.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Maybe not ready this year, Maybe can't man. Don't know
- 38:24Speaker 1: if he'll be able to get off the line, don't
- 38:25Speaker 1: know if he'll be able to block. But he's a
- 38:29Speaker 1: dude that's like a hm, wow, really.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Impressed Daydave Farmer will get on the field this year. Luck.
- 38:34Speaker 2: He is twitchy, he's quick. It's a four star kid
- 38:36Speaker 2: that a lot of schools were on that was a
- 38:38Speaker 2: big get for West Virginia. He's mixing right in with
- 38:40Speaker 2: the one and two's right now. Yeah, so think about that,
- 38:42Speaker 2: Think of that extra weapon that you didn't have last year.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Here's the guys that we've been recording now for what
- 38:47Speaker 2: forty minutes, forty five minutes, haven't mentioned pac Man Fox once,
- 38:51Speaker 2: haven't mentioned Traylon Ray once and those are guys that
- 38:54Speaker 2: you know. Comes he plays right, Ray's going to take
- 38:56Speaker 2: a big step forward. All Preston Fox does is just
- 38:58Speaker 2: catch passes on being special, difficult passes. That to me,
- 39:02Speaker 2: speaks to the versatility this team has. When we've gone
- 39:05Speaker 2: that long, Ray would be a guy normally we'd come
- 39:07Speaker 2: in here going on.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, trailing Ray.
- 39:09Speaker 2: That's a good point right before we get to trailing Rage.
- 39:13Speaker 1: I think he's having a Fox is having a great camp.
- 39:16Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not seeing guys drop balls. I'm not
- 39:20Speaker 1: knock on table. I'm not seeing guys drop balls. I'm
- 39:23Speaker 1: seeing guys make really good catches. Like the balls they're
- 39:26Speaker 1: supposed to catch. They catch him the balls that you
- 39:28Speaker 1: go like, I don't know, I'm seeing those cars.
- 39:30Speaker 2: They're catching them.
- 39:31Speaker 1: They're catching hard balls real quick. By the way.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Forty six minutes in first mention of Cole Taylor, last
- 39:37Speaker 2: year's leading receiver. Yeah, so there you go.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Hey, here's a problem. He's a problem for defenses. Now
- 39:43Speaker 1: he's healthy. All good to go. Let me do one
- 39:47Speaker 1: more Neil here. Let's talk a little bit and hear
- 39:52Speaker 1: from Neil on offensive physicality. If you listen closely to
- 39:58Speaker 1: what he's been saying since camp started, there is no
- 40:01Speaker 1: question that there is a consensus that they met and
- 40:05Speaker 1: had and came to in the preseason meetings that this
- 40:10Speaker 1: camp was going to be physical, and this camp was
- 40:14Speaker 1: really going to be a lot more challenging than in
- 40:18Speaker 1: the past. A couple of reasons. One, they now have
- 40:21Speaker 1: enough players to do it. At number two, they open
- 40:24Speaker 1: up against a Penn State team that is really good. Right,
- 40:28Speaker 1: Top ten is going to be physical, and he wants
- 40:32Speaker 1: to make sure that West Virginia's first game doesn't feel
- 40:36Speaker 1: like a first game, Like he wants them going like
- 40:40Speaker 1: it's week three, but it's week one. We're going, so
- 40:43Speaker 1: they're getting them tested. Here's Neil Brown on offensive physicality
- 40:46Speaker 1: in the preseason.
- 40:47Speaker 6: Okay, this is a physical component tagor position offensively, you know,
- 40:50Speaker 6: it starts with your offensive line, and it's really how
- 40:53Speaker 6: you use your hands. Are you striking people with your hands?
- 40:55Speaker 6: Like in football? These are legal weapons, your hands, and
- 40:57Speaker 6: you better be able to strike with them.
- 40:59Speaker 5: And that's something we spend a lot of time on.
- 41:01Speaker 6: And then you got to be able to finish, you know,
- 41:03Speaker 6: the only way you finish play finished blocks is having
- 41:05Speaker 6: an extreme pad level and having your hands inside, and
- 41:08Speaker 6: so that's the way, oh line tight ends very similar.
- 41:10Speaker 6: You know, we ask our tight ends to do a
- 41:12Speaker 6: lot tight ends similar to the line, but also receivers
- 41:15Speaker 6: is being physical at the top of your routes like
- 41:17Speaker 6: in a big twelve. They're gonna let you, They're gonna
- 41:19Speaker 6: let them play. So there's gonna be a lot of
- 41:21Speaker 6: grabbing at the top of the routes and you better
- 41:23Speaker 6: be physical. We call it a junction point. When two
- 41:25Speaker 6: forces are meeting. You know who's gonna win that junction point,
- 41:29Speaker 6: and receivers got to be physical and they've got to
- 41:31Speaker 6: take the attack to the dB and then blocking on
- 41:34Speaker 6: the perimeter, and it goes back again striking with your hands,
- 41:37Speaker 6: keeping your elbows inside, and then defensively, it's not only tackling,
- 41:43Speaker 6: but it's also block destruction. So we spend a lot
- 41:46Speaker 6: of time whether I'm a D linemen linebacker that's got
- 41:48Speaker 6: to take on blocker blockers and then get them off,
- 41:51Speaker 6: or on the perimeter if it's a dB that's got
- 41:54Speaker 6: to destruct a perimeter block, and so there is there's
- 41:57Speaker 6: there's various elements of it.
- 42:00Speaker 2: He gives you some stuff blocking destruction.
- 42:03Speaker 1: I mean, just did you like blocking destruction?
- 42:05Speaker 2: I just like that he gives it.
- 42:06Speaker 3: I mean, that is a granular description, Brad, and you
- 42:11Speaker 3: don't always get that with it. You just don't always
- 42:12Speaker 3: get that with coaches. I think that's been one of
- 42:14Speaker 3: his traits is candor and granular description of the game,
- 42:19Speaker 3: which fans can appreciate, like, well.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Just a man on a man and you've got to
- 42:23Speaker 2: win the battle. You know, he gives you a lot more.
- 42:26Speaker 2: He is not a big coach speak guy. He gives.
- 42:28Speaker 2: He gives you stuff. That's why I've said for years
- 42:31Speaker 2: since he's been here, I love listening to him. He
- 42:32Speaker 2: actually gives you so you can learn stuff you can.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I think what's interesting when he talks physical nature. That
- 42:38Speaker 2: really was the identity of the team last year, wasn't it.
- 42:41Speaker 2: And I thought that was really the first time Undernil
- 42:43Speaker 2: that he's had the pieces and the style of play
- 42:46Speaker 2: to establish an identity. You knew exactly what this team
- 42:48Speaker 2: was going to give you, particularly on offense. You knew
- 42:51Speaker 2: exactly what they were about when they stepped on the field,
- 42:54Speaker 2: and more importantly, the opponent knew what they were about.
- 42:56Speaker 2: So that's a question. This year, Zach was such a
- 42:59Speaker 2: big part of leading that physicality up front. Can this
- 43:03Speaker 2: line still have that same demeanor, same attitude, same ability
- 43:07Speaker 2: to be physical, because I do think the passing game
- 43:10Speaker 2: takes a monumental step forward this year. But this team
- 43:13Speaker 2: is still going to want to run it. It's still
- 43:14Speaker 2: going to want to run it when you know you're
- 43:16Speaker 2: going to run it and I want to move you
- 43:18Speaker 2: even though you know I want to move you. Can
- 43:20Speaker 2: they do that this year?
- 43:21Speaker 3: By the way, we this many minutes in you talk
- 43:24Speaker 3: about passing, we failed to mention Hudson, Clement, Hodey and Honey,
- 43:28Speaker 3: is he Huddy's legs?
- 43:29Speaker 1: How he's got very well developed legs? Yeah, very well developed.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Three guys brought to us by Lou Wendell Marine Sales,
- 43:36Speaker 1: the largest pondtoon boa dealer in the state of West Virginia.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Got something new to talk about today? Yeah you do? Yeah, hoppy, yes, sir,
- 43:43Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to the Gator Tough John series.
- 43:46Speaker 1: Excuse me, yeah, yep. G Three's. This is this is
- 43:50Speaker 1: about durability, dependability, and value, the key elements needed for
- 43:55Speaker 1: avid outdoorsman. G three John's provide an array of all
- 43:59Speaker 1: welded models for hunting to fishing and everything in between.
- 44:03Speaker 1: I wouldn't be I won't be totally surprised if that
- 44:05Speaker 1: Chris Lawrence over in that hunting and fishing show he
- 44:07Speaker 1: does not met, he probably has one of those.
- 44:09Speaker 2: You know. I was going to say, I have not
- 44:11Speaker 2: confirmed this. I'll see if I can work to do this.
- 44:13Speaker 2: But one of the earlier shows, you would ask, we
- 44:15Speaker 2: talked so much about pontooning at Summrsville Lake or Cheat Lake,
- 44:18Speaker 2: and you had you would pose the question. You know,
- 44:21Speaker 2: an avid hunter yourself, you pose the question, could you
- 44:24Speaker 2: hunt off the pontoon? You asked that question. So I
- 44:28Speaker 2: don't know if they built these in response to that question.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Probably did. I'll try and confirm that I could see,
- 44:34Speaker 2: but you don't. You can hunt off the ponta if
- 44:36Speaker 2: you want, but you don't have to. You can't. I
- 44:38Speaker 2: think probably a better hunting boat for the fishing boat.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Yeah, check them out better.
- 44:44Speaker 2: I don't know if they build them just for that question,
- 44:46Speaker 2: but they might have.
- 44:47Speaker 1: I think they did into that. So check out the
- 44:49Speaker 1: G three's John boats and uh, they're absolutely fantastic. Gator

- 46:38Speaker 1: twenty grams of protein. They suck. I mean, how do
- 46:41Speaker 1: you eat those things?
- 46:43Speaker 2: It's it's just fuel.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Fuel, it's mud, It's fuel with a wrapper on top
- 46:47Speaker 1: of it. It's horrific. I don't eat it.
- 46:50Speaker 3: Like, oh boy, I have his candy bar. I have
- 46:51Speaker 3: it because I don't have if I don't have time
- 46:53Speaker 3: to eat and I need fuel proteins.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Need proteins functional protein source right now, your Romney peach
- 46:59Speaker 2: was pretty good.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Who got I don't got a peck of peaches, Hoppy.
- 47:03Speaker 3: From Romney peck? You don't how many a peck bushel?
- 47:07Speaker 3: And how many pecks in a bushel?
- 47:09Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. I think it's less
- 47:11Speaker 1: than a I think it's less than a bushel.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Like how many how many pecks?
- 47:15Speaker 1: I'd say my guess would be maybe four. It's either
- 47:18Speaker 1: two or four.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is we won't get any texts
- 47:21Speaker 2: on this for the next show. No one will chime
- 47:23Speaker 2: in knowing what a peck is.
- 47:24Speaker 1: By the way, I was in Martinsburg last Friday, Hoppy,
- 47:26Speaker 1: and a guy came over to me lauding your brother
- 47:28Speaker 1: for his farming.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Who was that?
- 47:30Speaker 1: I don't know what his name was or I don't
- 47:32Speaker 1: forget who it was, but.
- 47:33Speaker 2: They just said, you're Nick's a plus farmer. Yeah it
- 47:35Speaker 2: does a Bobby Brooks plus Blitzer, Nick plus farmer. Nick,
- 47:39Speaker 2: I said, I hit the guy with plus farmer plus farmer.
- 47:42Speaker 2: I hit the guy with farmer, I said, doesn't Nick
- 47:44Speaker 2: du soybeans? And he goes, yeah, yeah, that's soybeans.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Does all things like the ivers right on top of that.
- 47:48Speaker 2: There they they are struggling right now.
- 47:50Speaker 1: I know they're the drone. I know they are.
- 47:52Speaker 3: It's just I mean, it sucks because as a farmer
- 47:55Speaker 3: and my brother's are successful at it. But you know, Brad,
- 47:59Speaker 3: you can do everything right and it doesn't rain.
- 48:02Speaker 1: Kind of like I had football coach diagram the perfect
- 48:05Speaker 1: play if if the guard or the tackle doesn't hit
- 48:08Speaker 1: his block.
- 48:08Speaker 3: It's it's it's tough. Four pecks in a bushel.
- 48:13Speaker 1: That's why I figured. So let me just tell you
- 48:15Speaker 1: I personally, I personally had a peck of peaches this week.
- 48:18Speaker 2: You're like, you ate seven peaches.
- 48:22Speaker 1: I had five. Today. I eat four to time, three
- 48:24Speaker 1: to four at a time.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Okay, why he did share half a one with me today?
- 48:28Speaker 1: He wasn't doing it's good.
- 48:30Speaker 2: I don't know why they called Georgia Romney win the competition.
- 48:39Speaker 1: Okay, So coming up in just a second, massive announcement,
- 48:44Speaker 1: massive announcement.
- 48:45Speaker 2: Here is this legit?
- 48:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's it's legit. I mean, I get
- 48:52Speaker 1: a little bit tired of being questioned all the time.
- 48:54Speaker 1: A lot of people attack me for saying I go
- 48:56Speaker 1: a little bit aggressive, making it little announcements early, you
- 48:59Speaker 1: do all what every one of them? Yeah, nothing changed
- 49:03Speaker 1: on the halftime. By the way, Hoppy had a weird
- 49:05Speaker 1: thing today. So Hoppy and I used to be in
- 49:08Speaker 1: the news business. Hoppy still in the news business when.
- 49:10Speaker 3: I lied to me, when you lied to me, But
- 49:13Speaker 3: that's another story.
- 49:14Speaker 1: I said, I'll do news anyway. So I was Brend
- 49:19Speaker 1: Baker and I this morning went to the United Away
- 49:21Speaker 1: kickoff for Tiger's Valley five County area at Fairmont State
- 49:26Speaker 1: the little Q and A thing. Well what this guy
- 49:29Speaker 1: walks by me had a name tag on because everyone
- 49:30Speaker 1: gets a name tag, and they had high level minime tagers.
- 49:33Speaker 1: They had the one with a magnet goes behind and
- 49:38Speaker 1: the guy walks by me. His name was Alan Staggers,
- 49:42Speaker 1: and I went like, Alan Staggers, I said, I know
- 49:46Speaker 1: your name. So we had a rolodex at w A
- 49:51Speaker 1: j R. News one hundred years ago, and when the
- 49:53Speaker 1: power went out, Alan Staggers was the guy you would
- 49:57Speaker 1: call and go, Alan, how many got out?
- 49:58Speaker 2: And now we got thirty five the houses out right now?
- 50:02Speaker 1: Anyway, The reason I'm saying this is, he said, I
- 50:05Speaker 1: talked to hoppy every once in a while I see
- 50:06Speaker 1: him at the legislative session and things like that. But
- 50:09Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I remember your name. But then
- 50:11Speaker 1: he came to me after we said, man, I love
- 50:13Speaker 1: three guys, big three guys listener, appreciate that chat it
- 50:17Speaker 1: with him, Thank you for we had a lot of
- 50:18Speaker 1: three guys listeners in the crowd there.
- 50:20Speaker 2: Excellent.
- 50:20Speaker 1: And I said, how do you consume it? I said,
- 50:23Speaker 1: you watch your listening goes No, he said, listener, don't
- 50:26Speaker 1: watch it so normally either driving or walking. I always
- 50:29Speaker 1: find it very interesting how people consume the show.
- 50:33Speaker 2: So good, that was awful nice.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Then I was like, all good West Virginians. I was
- 50:37Speaker 3: at Myrtle Beach for a couple of days and first
- 50:41Speaker 3: morning there went down bread to the to the supermarket
- 50:46Speaker 3: grocer could get some supplies and a coffee, and had
- 50:50Speaker 3: my West Virginia had on. Uh huh, here comes a
- 50:52Speaker 3: fella with a West Virginia had on.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Yep.
- 50:54Speaker 3: I pointed to I said, how you doing? He goes
- 50:56Speaker 3: how you doing?
- 50:56Speaker 1: There?
- 50:56Speaker 3: He'll billy, which was not an insult because we're both
- 51:02Speaker 3: from West Virginia. Sure, so it's all good. Sure, But
- 51:05Speaker 3: it was the only West Virginian. I wore the only
- 51:07Speaker 3: West Virginia and I ran into it North Myrtle could
- 51:09Speaker 3: surprised me.
- 51:10Speaker 1: A stunning Nah, they're almost at the place. It's it's
- 51:14Speaker 1: that's not true. Merle's Inlet. There's a bunch of them
- 51:16Speaker 1: over there.

- 51:26Speaker 1: Get away from us. So well, someone isn't around much anyway.
- 51:31Speaker 2: I'm in Myrtle Peace.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Seriously, that was the time to do it. It was
- 51:35Speaker 1: already there and no one would be here. That might
- 51:38Speaker 1: be a problem too, anyway. As I said earlier, three
- 51:41Speaker 1: guys before the game is now brought to you in
- 51:43Speaker 1: part by Tutor's Biscuit World. Did I tell you that
- 51:46Speaker 1: they're expanding? No, Well, sure are. They're expanding. They're now

- 52:46Speaker 2: punch of right and face and eat it good.
- 52:48Speaker 3: My choice would be, and I'm not sure if it's on,
- 52:50Speaker 3: that would just be I love the biscuit. Just bacon
- 52:54Speaker 3: and an egg, bacon and a fried egg.
- 52:57Speaker 1: They can do that, but I do a little bit different.
- 52:59Speaker 1: I go four eggs on the same best.
- 53:01Speaker 4: Don't you know?
- 53:03Speaker 1: When I eat eggs hopped, I normally eat six at
- 53:05Speaker 1: a time, Do you really? Yeah? Six a time, four
- 53:09Speaker 1: to six?

- 53:25Speaker 2: either zero or one hundred, exactly exactly. You guys are
- 53:28Speaker 2: ready to do this thing. A peck of peaches on.
- 53:31Speaker 1: Monday, folks, when we come back. We're into our two
- 53:33Speaker 1: a week now. We're gonna start two a week next
- 53:35Speaker 1: week for football and stuff and stuff and everything. Uh
- 53:44Speaker 1: and anyway, we'll do the regular textual here and stuff.
- 53:54Speaker 1: We'll do the regular textual healing starting on Monday. We've
- 53:59Speaker 1: had a lot of people send us stuff through the years.
- 54:03Speaker 1: Through the last several weeks, we recorded several shows because
- 54:07Speaker 1: none of these knuckleheads were around for the last couple
- 54:09Speaker 1: of weeks and everything, and so we'll do that. But
- 54:16Speaker 1: that's not to say that we are not ready to
- 54:19Speaker 1: make a massive announcement. We're ready to do this thing.
- 54:24Speaker 1: All I'm saying is, please direct your attention to here
- 54:30Speaker 1: we go. All right, it's time textual healing. Sit him down,
- 54:54Speaker 1: Send this young fella down here, all right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 55:00Speaker 1: just made for those of you that are watching. We
- 55:02Speaker 1: just made a addition to the to the staff here,
- 55:06Speaker 1: please welcome to the program. A guy who's been referred
- 55:09Speaker 1: to on this program before. He's never made a visual
- 55:13Speaker 1: appearance before. There he is world's greatest I don't know
- 55:19Speaker 1: if I I mean spiritually, I guess I say the
- 55:21Speaker 1: world's greatest pastor before I say you're the world's greatest
- 55:23Speaker 1: barbecue barbecue. I'll joining joining us on the program. This
- 55:33Speaker 1: is Reverend Kevin Kine of uh all right here across
- 55:37Speaker 1: the just across the pond over and west over there
- 55:40Speaker 1: Kingdom Kingdom EMC Church in Morgantown. And last year we
- 55:44Speaker 1: partnered with him and he was the focal point of
- 55:49Speaker 1: the three Guys before the game food court which is
- 55:51Speaker 1: located there next to find looking Phil at Daniel's Men's
- 55:55Speaker 1: Store at University Avenue. And we did it last year
- 55:59Speaker 1: twice and it was an incredible success. And if you're
- 56:03Speaker 1: a regular listener, you know that I am a self
- 56:07Speaker 1: proclaimed food snob. Like if your food sucks, I say
- 56:11Speaker 1: that's garbage. I'm not eating it. Hoppy, You're similar to that,
- 56:14Speaker 1: and true many and Brad, I'm not sure exactly where
- 56:17Speaker 1: you are on the snob. You get bummed out when
- 56:19Speaker 1: people criticize food.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Fair I get bummed out when you criticized food because
- 56:23Speaker 2: you criticized basically everything.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Fine, one thing I don't criticize is that man's barbecue
- 56:30Speaker 1: and rev. So here's the story. I'm gonna let him
- 56:33Speaker 1: tell his story, why we do it, what he does
- 56:37Speaker 1: with it, and why it's important for so many different reasons.
- 56:41Speaker 2: But first, but here's where here's where we get this.
- 56:45Speaker 2: Here's where he gets off off the rails before he
- 56:48Speaker 2: before he.
- 56:49Speaker 1: Gives his story. We're gonna do the food court every
- 56:53Speaker 1: game this year. Last year we did sure is that done?
- 56:56Speaker 1: Last year?
- 56:57Speaker 4: We did it.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Last year we did it twice. This year, going to
- 57:00Speaker 1: do it every game. We're going to start it.
- 57:02Speaker 2: Thank god, at least the guy providing the food says yes,
- 57:04Speaker 2: so that you fail and it's multiple days all.
- 57:08Speaker 1: We're going to start it on the twenty eighth of August,
- 57:11Speaker 1: which is a Wednesday, the Wednesday of game week, and
- 57:15Speaker 1: on that day we are going to go into business
- 57:17Speaker 1: and we're going to start selling stuff there at the
- 57:19Speaker 1: food court. So that same night, Hoppy, by the way,
- 57:25Speaker 1: we are going to debut our new beer in partnership
- 57:29Speaker 1: with Parkersburg Brewing Company. We cannot reveal the name just yet.
- 57:33Speaker 1: We'll do that on the twenty eighth, but it will
- 57:36Speaker 1: be available at the Three Guys food court. Also, what
- 57:39Speaker 1: will be available for the first time ever.
- 57:43Speaker 2: I hope someone's provided you with this information that is
- 57:46Speaker 2: checked and balanced.
- 57:47Speaker 1: This thing, Austin, Let's go to the pictures. There's a
- 57:49Speaker 1: lot going on here is let's go to the pictures now.
- 57:51Speaker 2: So we've got Revcap Barbecue. We've got no, no, not
- 57:54Speaker 2: that picture. Hold on, what's up?
- 57:55Speaker 1: No, get that out of there. The barbecue pictures, the
- 57:58Speaker 1: barbecue wagon pictures. You know, we we know, we we
- 58:01Speaker 1: a thirty look at this bad boy, a thirty six
- 58:05Speaker 1: foot thirty same thing. Whatever it takes by the time, okay,
- 58:10Speaker 1: flip through those of you would take a look at this.
- 58:12Speaker 1: This trailer is under construction in Florida, and that's it.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Keep going, and that's what's gonna be. And now keep going.
- 58:22Speaker 1: This is what's gonna look like when it's okay, stop
- 58:24Speaker 1: right there, fully skinned out the source, REVS Barbecue. Keep going.
- 58:29Speaker 1: If you would, Austin, and you have an order window,
- 58:32Speaker 1: you got to pick up window. And then the backside
- 58:36Speaker 1: of this thing looks like that.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Well this is awful professional for what we put on over.
- 58:41Speaker 1: There thirty two feet So now thank you so keV Yes, sir. Firstly,
- 58:46Speaker 1: how'd you pay for it? That's a whole other. Honestly,
- 58:51Speaker 1: it's the Lord's money, complete organization, I know. So talk
- 58:56Speaker 1: to us, talk to us about the sore. There's two
- 58:59Speaker 1: pieces of this one. It provides incredible resources and all
- 59:04Speaker 1: the money you make from everything that you sell gets
- 59:07Speaker 1: donated to the source. That's the one story. And then
- 59:10Speaker 1: the other part of it is the barbecue and the
- 59:13Speaker 1: brisket is just off the chart. We'll talk about the
- 59:15Speaker 1: meat in a second. Okay, give me the spin on
- 59:17Speaker 1: the source. So the Source is a separate five O,
- 59:20Speaker 1: one C three from my church. We just got to
- 59:23Speaker 1: the point where we needed to divide church and state
- 59:25Speaker 1: just because of the work that we do in the
- 59:26Speaker 1: public school system.
- 59:27Speaker 2: You have to seize Caesar.
- 59:29Speaker 4: Well you know we do that as well. But we're
- 59:32Speaker 4: about three things. We're about feeding kids, we're about empowering families,
- 59:37Speaker 4: and about cultivating community. And so all the programs that
- 59:41Speaker 4: we have through the Source are designed to do that.
- 59:45Speaker 4: We to date have provided over two million meals to
- 59:49Speaker 4: the kids at Skyview Elementary. We've just expanded the program.
- 59:52Speaker 4: We now have three three schools that we're we've you.
- 59:55Speaker 1: Know, in three schools now, so that is a Friday,
- 59:58Speaker 1: you deliver lunch, the lunches on Thursdays Thursday, so kids
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: can take them home for the weekend.
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: They take home three thousand calories every single weekend and
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: we've done that since twenty ten, so at three schools
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: this year we could be feeding upwards of six hundred
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: kids every single weekend. So we had the lunch box
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: program that we do. We do a before and after
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: school program with Skyview Elementary. We have a summer program
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: that we do which lasts literally the entire summer. A
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: lot of the other programs are just two weeks or whatever.
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: We're the entire summer. We had seventy five kids in
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: the program this summer. Just amazing. And then we're at
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: the beginning of the year starting a holistic wellness program
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: as well for adults. Because the state of mental health
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: in our nation is it's a mess. I mean it's
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: a mess, and wonderful people, but there's just such a
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: demand people can't get in. So we're providing an option
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: for folks at the beginning of the year that will
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: have certified mental health coaches through the American Association of
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: Christian Counselors and we'll provide these groups for them as well.
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: So the Source just keeps getting bigger out.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: Here's my question.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: This is a talk line question for you, okay, is
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: that because I get these questions on talk one all
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: the time, like where are the parents? You know, so
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: you are you are supplying these meals, which is a
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: great benefit, but I know the average person is going
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: to and it's a charity event. Average person is saying, well,
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: wait a minute, that's the parent's job. So obviously there's
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: a need though, so explain it. So you have two
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: things before us. The ultimate goal for the SOURCE is
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: to never have to do a lot right box program again.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: But that's not where we are.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: You know. I brought in some statistics which we don't
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: have to go through all of that, but annually there's
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: about seventy four thousand kids in the state of West
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: Virginia every year who are suffering from foodhists insufficiency, and
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: so it's about one in five one in five kids
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: in the state of West Virginia, and it's easy just
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: to say, well, they should take care of it themselves.
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: That's fine. Let me quote a school counselor from Mond
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: County that I know, hungry kids don't learn right exactly,
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: So we need to get some food in their bellies
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: because a lot of these kids are only eating breakfast
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: and lunch at school and then they go hungry all weekend.
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: We've seen kids grade school kids rationing food from our
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: lunch boxes for their younger siblings that aren't in school.
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: So the immediate need there, but that's why I'm saying,
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: we're also empowering families. So the programs that we're beginning
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: to develop with the families here in the community are
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: strengthening the household. And then what we hope is through
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: the before and after school program, the summer program, we're
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: training these kids up in the way that they should
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: go so that when they move into adulthood they're ready
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: to roll.
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: So we've already walked one generation through with our Youth
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: mission that we were involved with, and we have wonderful
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: success stories, you know, but we want to do that
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: with these kids and really radically change the community, not
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: just by putting food in the belly on a weekend,
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: but you know, one generation from now, hopefully we can
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: eliminate you know, food and security at least in our community,

- 1:04:48Speaker 4: I started with barbecue?
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: No?
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: Do you remember a guy that played for West Virginia
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: University football team named Tito Gonzalez.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Absolutely fiestaval against Oklahoma.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: So that next spring, because Tito was kind of caught,
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: he was done with his senior year. He didn't graduate
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: till August, so his lease was up. He didn't have
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: anywhere to live. He was going to my church. I said, well,
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: just live in my house.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: So Tito moved in with us.
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: And somebody had told me, Rev, you are so busy,
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: you've got to get a hobby. This was the spring
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: of two thousand and nine.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: You need a hobby, art, I said, you need a hobby.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: So I sent to Tito.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: I said, you grew up in the South.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: You know what any thing about barbecue?
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: He was like, oh man, Rev, my mom barbecued all
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: the time. I said, well, walk out here and see
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: if I'm doing this right. I had a propane grill
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: on the side of my house. Tito walks out and
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: he goes, oh man, Rev, you ain't even got the
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: right equipment. We went the next day bought a charcoal
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: grill at Sam's.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: That was it.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: Here's how I knew that your stuff was a real deal.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: Luke Darnell, world champion barbecue, who you grew up with
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: in Westover? Right, he looked your stuff over him. He's
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: a multi world champion. He said, like, dude, I wouldn't
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: change one single thing they you do. So how many
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: pounds could you now do if you needed to? What
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: will you do.
- 1:06:11Speaker 4: We can cook two thousand pounds at a pop. That's
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: two thousand pounds. So typically when we run, we'll do
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: two runs. We'll do forty briskets, forty pork butts, three
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: four hundred pieces of chicken, and maybe sixty racks of ribs.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: Okay, So what is your plan for food for our
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: food court? What do you plan on? What do people
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: need to know?
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: So we're doing tacos, we're doing bird in a box.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: What's that mean?
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: Pig in a box?
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: Brisket in a box. Can select your base which is
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: either tater tots, mac and cheese or my wonderful wife
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: Leslie's corn cake. Then you pick your meat, chicken, pork, brisket,
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: and then you pick your crunch free Do's bacon.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: Barbecue, yeah, Cole Slow barbecue people things, maybe.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: A little fried onion pedals, something like that, and then
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: you had your sauce. Yeah, and then you can buy
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: by the boat and something we're doing this year you
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: can pre order tailgate pans, so full pans of your
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: choice brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and you.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: Pick it up before Saturday. Saturday.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: Come there, we'll have it all pre organized for you.
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: Your name will be on it. You walk up to
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: the trailer, you get it, you go.
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: Are we blocking off streets for this?
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing there?
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: We're still efforting there, Well, we are efforting.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: The word. I will tell you this food cost is
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: off the charts, So we're selling this at a at
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: a nearly cost level because really what we're trying to
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: do with this food trailer is get out there and
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: tell the story of the source. So our big thing
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: that we're doing is it takes a latte to feed
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: a child. How much does a latte cost?
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Five?
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: If you give me one latte a week, one lattae
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: a week, you feed a kid for an entire year.
- 1:08:11Speaker 4: So that's what we've done. We've set up a QR
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: code that people can log on to and they can
- 1:08:16Speaker 4: pick one, two, three sponsorships and it just naturally automatically
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: pulls seven dollars out a week and they feed a
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: kid for a year.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: So that's what we want to do.
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: We want to give great barbecue, but also have people
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: get behind this program so that we can provide food
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: for these kids on the weekend. The cost of childcare
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: is off the charts. We would like to provide that
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: at the lowest, lowest, lowest level. People should make an investment,
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: but we want to make you know, do that at
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: the lowest level. Same thing with summer camp. What do
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: I do with my kids now that they're not.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Going to school?
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: We want to provide that at the lowest cost. We're
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: not in this to make money. We are a non
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: profit organization. We really do want to feed children in
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: power families and cultivate community. You know, you can sit
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: around and scream and yell and complain, or you can
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: actually get out there and do something about it. And
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: I'm a person that wants to get out there and
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: do something about it. And that's what we're doing through
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: this organization. And while you're at it, let's have a
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: good piece of brisket.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: There you go absolutely say, I told you the other
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: day when I called that I got myself online. I
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: told Jordan Leslie about his brisket. Jordan kind of looked
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: at me like gave me the double head. Yeah. We
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: talked like what you're talking about, willis one of those kinds.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: I said, I'm just telling you, dude, and he said,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: all right, bring it. To me, let me see, and
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: he's as you well know, he was here. So pressure's
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: on you. Dog.
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: How about this, Why don't you talk to that coaching
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: staff and I'll just form one night the whole coaching staff.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: No, we do that, well, we'll do it.
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: Set it up.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: Okay, we can take care of that.
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: Okay, this, this trailer is going to be fun though.

- 1:10:11Speaker 1: So he calls him homeless?
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Do you know where he lives? He's never disclosed that. No,

- 1:10:28Speaker 3: When do you prepare the Sunday Sermon?
- 1:10:30Speaker 4: It's kind of a progressive work copy.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Oh, I know, what that means.
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: No, Before I walk out, it's like, ah, here's an oldie,
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: but goodie, I've never done that.
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: You've done that?
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: No, can I tell? Can I tell Kevin's story?
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: Oh geez, because you guys have known me for a
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: long time.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: So and actually the story is only half true. The
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: best stories ones usually are.
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: So I'm at the legislatures is years ago, and Kevin
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: is down and I say, keV, I'm giving the prayer
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: at the to open the legislature today. And I said, really,
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: what are you going to say? He goes, oh, I
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: didn't prepare. The Lord will speak to me and give
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: me the words. And I said okay, and that that's
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: the only part that's true. And then from there I
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: told the story. I see Kevin later or Kevin goes
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: up to give the prayer and he fumbles and stumbles
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: and can't get the words out and finally says.
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: That's a lie.
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: Finally says that that is a lie, but it makes
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: a better story, and says and says, I I'm in
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: So I see Kevin says what happened? I thought the
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: Lord was going to speak to you And Kevin says, yeah,
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: he did. He told me, I should have prepared something.
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: Do you know what actually happened that day?
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: My boys were up in the gallery on the top,
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: and I started praying, and there's a bunch of school
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: students up there, and the kids were sitting there and there,
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: you know, I trained my boys. Their heads are bowed,
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: their eyes are closed. The two kids beside they're having
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: a conversation and they lean over and they go, Man,
- 1:11:57Speaker 4: this guy, praise forever.
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: Something's never changed.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: All right, We'll stick around, stick around, I Kevin used
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: to I'm back in the nineties, mid nineties. I used
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: to do the Westwood One college football Game of the Week.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: That's before I did the West Virginia Radio. So he
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: would be he would be one of my spotters and
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: we would drive around and like go to like great games, right,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: we'd go to great games, phenomenal and uh, he was
