• 3:08
  guys also brought to us by lou Wendell Marine Sales in Saint Albans. They'll
• 3:15

• 3:17
  premiere pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia. You know, Drey
• 3:23
  is from the state of Florida. He's seen a boat or two in his
• 3:28
  day. Have you pontoons yet? You have a pond tooon? You have
• 3:31
  pontoo? Oh coach? Yeah beautiful? Okay? So like so you go
• 3:40
  over to what you go to Neil's house and like he breaks who who was
• 3:45
  driving? Did he like as the head coach? Did he have to be
• 3:49
  the captain? Or who was the pond? He usually have Nick Pereca or
• 3:53
  oh Bill does Oh really, I didn't know Bill had had a nautical skill.
• 4:00
  So the receivers coach, they send the receivers coach in there, Like
• 4:03
  where did Blell get this? Uh? Where where's his water background come from?
• 4:06
  Do you think you feel from Miami? Miami? All right? Good
• 4:12
  deal? What's great to have? Hold on? Who parks it? Who
• 4:15
  pulls it back into the dock, because that's the challenge. The open water
• 4:17
  is easy, hop there's a lot of to make pulling it back into the
• 4:21
  challenge. Who does that they usually do it. They do it, but
• 4:24
  they have people. Yeah, five like five people direct like is like I
• 4:30
  would imagine Neil would be standing on the dock like all nervous so that when
• 4:32
  they back it him was he coaching it? No? No, no,
• 4:34
  he wasn't even there. You don't even want him there, he said,
• 4:39
  his boat. You don't want him looking. What happens is, you know,
• 4:42
  it's really helpful when you're the one trying to dock when there's multiple people
• 4:46
  telling you where you should go and where you should like, that's really helpful
• 4:48
  yelling at you on how to do it the better. And it's good to
• 4:51
  have a crowd there watching you too. That's helpful too, right. So
• 4:55
  they don't have it in these pontoons yet, Like those big fancy cars that
• 4:58
  you can parallel park. They don't have of that. That needs to come
• 5:00
  soon and nice it would be. I just shoot some lasers out the front
• 5:04
  so you know exactly where you're headed. Yeah, you know, it's an
• 5:06
  art because you got the the winds moving you, the water's moving. You
• 5:10
  got to kind of bring it left a little bit and let it slow back
• 5:14
  on a dime, on a dime, So tray. You're from Florida?
• 5:19
  Would you consider yourself a water guy? Like you're in the Miami are you?
• 5:24
  Are you you like that side of the thing, the water? You
• 5:27
  love the water? I love. I love going down of the keys and
• 5:29
  having a great time. Yeah, are you jet ski to fishing? Yeah?
• 5:36
  Fishing logo spearfishing? Really well that's kind of neat so you yeah,
• 5:46
  m but how big are those that? When when you do get how big
• 5:49
  are those fish? Give me like how big? Probably like probably like this
• 5:53
  big. I mean I don't really I don't really go that deep because like,
• 5:56
  I'm also scared of shark. So that's to say as close as I
• 5:59
  can wait a second. But once they spear the fish, then there's blood
• 6:04
  and the shark's going to be coming. He's got speed to just get out
• 6:08
  of the water. Then, well who's faster? Hey, what's pro football
• 6:11
  focus? Having him on sharks? Sark shark? He's nine tile of running
• 6:16
  away from sharks. But you say your watergun, that's cool. He don't
• 6:24
  do me a favorite. Don't go home this summer and go do that and
• 6:26
  get bit by a shark and not be available this coming season. Hey,
• 6:29
  this guy's got some this guy's got some miles coming under his belt. You
• 6:32
  ready this month? You know, Germany, London, Paris and the only
• 6:38
  one we're not saying that one song London Paris, Mute whatever that song was.
• 6:42
  He's the only ways missing is Munich. Yeah. Oh you're gonna go
• 6:46
  to mute. Yeah. There it is. Busy, busy, busy.
• 6:49
  Just just travel for the chambers leak climbers. Oh okay, outstanding. So
• 6:57
  there's another thing that Neil created that you're going to take advantage of. You
• 7:00
  take advantage of his boat, You're gonna take advantage of his fifth quarter,
• 7:02
  and and you're taking advantage of his face. So there it is. So
• 7:06
  it became the biggest story of the spring game. Like people didn't ask after
• 7:12
  the spring game was over, hey how the offense looked? Hey? How
• 7:15
  the defense looked? Hey? How was the crowd? Hey? Hey how
• 7:17
  was Pat Magnet? They just went like did you see Lathan's Neil Breezy shirt?
• 7:23
  They talked, actually said, how do I get the Neil Breezy is
• 7:28
  tight? Shot? Right there? Go ahead, move just a little to
• 7:30
  you the side, Well you move, go lateral, go lateral, there
• 7:33
  you go, boom, there you go. So you created that shirt,
• 7:36
  and as you could see, it's titled Neil Breezy and there are five photos
• 7:44
  of the I oh they're six. I didn't see the one on the other
• 7:46
  side. Six photos of the illustrative head coach of the world champion mountaineers.
• 7:53
  I gotta know, man, So how long ago did this idea pop into
• 7:58
  your head? Both two weeks before the spring game. So we have like
• 8:01
  a competition about like best dress for the spring Game. I wanted to win
• 8:05
  best dress for my team. So I thought it would be a funny idea
• 8:09
  to make a just a graphic tea. I mean, I didn't think I
• 8:11
  was gonna win, but I thought it'd be pretty funny. Just So,
• 8:15
  did you tell anybody ahead of time you were doing it or did you just
• 8:18
  break it out? Yeah? I had told Patrick. I had Patrick Johnston,
• 8:22
  who's the who's a man in charge of administration, And so you said
• 8:26
  Patrick, I'm gonna wear a Neil Breezy shirt. So Neil doesn't know this,
• 8:28
  No he doesn't. So this is all. This is even good,
• 8:31
  this is even better. So Saturday you come walking down and people go like,
• 8:37
  oh my, what was the initial reaction from the head coach once he
• 8:43
  saw you, Well he didn't. He didn't get there. He got there
• 8:46
  late after the the little walkthrough. But he's seen it after I took a
• 8:50
  picture of it after he for the first time he seen it. He was
• 8:52
  laughing. He was laughing pretty hard. Yeah, So I asked him about
• 8:56
  it, and I said, Neil, you signed off on your your name,
• 9:00
  image and your likeness, and he gave you know what he gave me.
• 9:05
  He gave whatever is for the betterment of the student athletes. Well said,
• 9:07
  that's what That's what he gave. So those are for sale. And
• 9:11
  so I'm loving your entrepreneurial spirit. So Trey Leathan dot my, shopify dot
• 9:20
  com, Trey Leathan dot my, shopify dot com. And business, we
• 9:26
  don't need to give you, don't need to reveal sales numbers at this point.
• 9:28
  But business has been we say, brisk, press and good. Yes,
• 9:31
  it's been pretty good, the best, it's the absolute best. What's
• 9:37
  that side again, Trey Lathan dot my, shopify dot com. I think
• 9:45
  you better go say limited inventory, get them while they're hot, order them
• 9:48
  up. My guy's got to go. He's going overseas processing and packaging.
• 9:52
  He's got all his staff. Wait, operators are standing by as we speak.
• 9:56
  Tree Lathan dot com my shopify or Trey Leith and dot my shopify dot
• 10:01
  com. I love it, man, I love it. Entrepreneurships one of
• 10:05
  your deals though, right you majoring that minoring in that mining umship? Yeah?
• 10:09
  Why how how'd that become an interest? Because I wanted to start a
• 10:11
  trucking business. Uh In high school when COVID was going on, I had
• 10:16
  took an economics class and uh she was telling us. My teacher Ms.
• 10:18
  Questa was telling us about boats being uh like the shipping ports being backed up,
• 10:24
  and then there was a shortage on drivers. And then I actually have
• 10:28
  a couple of family members who drive, and I was like, man,
• 10:30
  I love driving, So I was like, that'd be pretty cool. It's
• 10:31
  being all the industry and shortage on them. So like football doesn't work out,
• 10:37
  I think I'm gonna go into it one of the trucking business when football
• 10:39
  when when the football thing's over? So wait a second, now, hang
• 10:43
  out time out here. You've driven I've driven big trucks? Yeah how big?
• 10:48
  Uh? I've driven a box truck. I want to say an eighteen
• 10:50
  with but I've driven a box truck before. So you're you're you're probably you're
• 10:54
  gonna chart. If you're gonna own one of these things, you're gonna have
• 10:56
  to get the CT out. You're right, you're gonna get the big You're
• 10:58
  gonna drive ricks. Yes, sir, I'm looking at the website. It
• 11:01
  looks good and there's a picture of there's trade with his shirt on, and
• 11:05
  also he's there with Neil Brown and Neil Brown's endorsement endorsing it. Right,
• 11:11

• 11:18
  out with my own search this year for the upcoming season. And then uh,
• 11:22
  Coach Brown lest me, I'm probably gonna come out with a new design.
• 11:28
  What what the hot sellers? Yeah? What is Breezy? Though?
• 11:31
  What's Neil Breezy? It's his last name, but instead of like Chris,
• 11:35
  like Chris Brown, how they call him Chris Breezy. We just took that
• 11:37
  Andrey, I means everybody on the team call him Neil Breezy. We gotta
• 11:43
  we gotta close, we gotta clip this. Trey explaining the Kerchival Breezy,
• 11:46
  the breezy Am I supposed to know that? Yeah, I would have been
• 11:50
  at your age. No, I would have been surprised that you if you
• 11:52
  had you know, yeah, the guys knew. Oh bron Breezy, Yeah,
• 11:56
  breezy document. Sure. Sorry, Yeah, we're really cool. We're
• 12:00
  really cool guys. Yeah, really cool. Okay, so there are going
• 12:03
  to be other items, yes, sir, all right, so you've had
• 12:07
  you had a heck of a you had a heck of a first year man.
• 12:11
  Thank you for for for like things like we said, let's kind of
• 12:16
  jump right in here. True freshmen come in, you learn about this whole
• 12:22
  world of West Virginia football. I don't need to tell you there are some
• 12:26
  differences between Miami and Morgantown. They both start with them. But other than
• 12:30
  that, not other than that kind of gets a little bit different. I
• 12:33
  looked at your visit list or the places that you have you took throughout your
• 12:39
  journey. Michigan offers you, Yeah, twenty twenty, Arizona State offer,
• 12:46
  Oregon offer, Mississippi State offer, Virginia lsu Akron, Florida A and m
• 12:52
  Indiana, Utah State, Maryland, Duke BC Pitt. You officially the pit
• 13:00
  I did. I mean, what in the hell is wrong with you?
• 13:03
  Man? I did? They didn't choose them? Well, I mean,
• 13:05
  but now let me ask you this, in hindsight, now that you know
• 13:09
  what you know, would you have visited? Probably not. Since a young
• 13:15
  man's trying to decide where to go to school, I visit wherever he want.
• 13:16
  I know, I was just messing with him. Florida, Florida state,
• 13:22
  you had places to go? I did, okay, So we'd love
• 13:26
  to know what made you go? Like this feels right? Well, I
• 13:31
  didn't want to first. I didn't want to stay home. My mom didn't
• 13:33
  want me to stay in Miami. She wanted me to get away. Sure,
• 13:37
  you know, started new life. But uh so, pet I think
• 13:39
  I got to offer from Pitt before I got to West Virginia, and I
• 13:43
  was just sort of in contact with them because they'll be frequent throughout my high
• 13:46
  school. So I just like, why not give it a shot because at
• 13:50
  the time I was just looking for home to go. So I ended up
• 13:52
  visiting the first How did how did West Virginia get involved with you? What
• 13:56
  were your first touches by West Virginia? Well, actually, uh, Coach
• 14:01
  Trickett had offered me, but I didn't even know I had the offer until,
• 14:05
  like my coach posted on social media, so I didn't even I didn't
• 14:07
  even know about the offer. But uh, Coach Crickett used to just call
• 14:11
  me after school every day at the same time. This was during COVID.
• 14:13
  I was at home, so every day before I go to the gym,
• 14:16
  he called me at the same time, just checking in with me, seeing
• 14:20
  how I'm doing. Did you know much about West Virginia because obviously you probably
• 14:24
  learned now that a lot of kids from Florida have been down in that area,
• 14:28
  had come to West Virginia. Did you know anything about it or did
• 14:31
  did trick have to kind of give you the story and explain it to you?
• 14:35
  Now, he had to give me this story, and it's plaining to
• 14:37
  me because, to be honest, the only thing I knew about Western James
• 14:39
  about Tavon Austin Highlights, the country roads and Tevon Austin, two greatest resources
• 14:48
  of West Virginia. Question, so you knew about the table, You would
• 14:50
  watch the Tavon tape and went like whoa, yeah, yeah he was a
• 14:54
  dude. Yeah he was I mean, he was an absolute dude. So
• 14:58
  they get you to come up here and visit first memories of when you came
• 15:03
  up. What was it that you enjoyed. Well, I just enjoyed being
• 15:07
  around the team. Garrett was my host, so he showed me. I
• 15:11
  think we went to a house party most of the guys were there and so
• 15:15
  bonding with them, and then most of the guys that were in my class
• 15:18
  at the time were committed, so I got really good connections with them and
• 15:22
  it just it just started from there. Yeah. So they gave you a
• 15:24
  Florida guy and Garrett. Yeah, although obviously he was far north, but
• 15:28
  they give you a guy. What surprised you about West Virginia that maybe you
• 15:33
  didn't expect? I say, the culture everybody here is way much different from
• 15:39
  where I come from. Everybody's nice. I mean honestly, you know how
• 15:46
  people looking at you crazy just because he walking whatever. The people here really
• 15:50
  nice. Everybody sticks up for each other and it's just the game days.
• 15:54
  You can see how everybody comes together, and that's that's just something I've never
• 15:58
  seen before. Yeah. A lot of breezy people here. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:02
  very breezy, very very very used it. Right, Wait a minute,
• 16:06
  no, I just looked it up. It says means literally perfect in
• 16:08
  every way, shape or form. That's why you're hoppy breezy. Yeah,
• 16:12
  I know I'm deeply flawd, but that's another story. Exactly. You mentioned
• 16:19
  you were you during COVID, and you you, I mean you were in
• 16:22
  a really weird situation like you said, I mean, twenty is COVID is
• 16:26
  happening, and everything is weird, and everything is weird. How did that
• 16:33
  impact you? I mean that's because that's not only for a young guy,
• 16:37
  but like for everyone, it kind of made us weird. How did that
• 16:40
  make you feel or change you? Well, it actually changed my body because
• 16:45
  I at during high school, I played receivers, so I was like one
• 16:47
  to eighty five, but I was still playing linebacker. I was actually doing
• 16:49
  pretty good for my size, but uh, doing COVID since I was at
• 16:52
  home and really was in that school, all I did was eat and then
• 16:56
  work out. So I had gained twenty, like almost twenty five pounds was
• 17:00
  over COVID. Wow. Wow, Because I did read your receiver and you
• 17:03
  still you still wouldn't mind getting an opportunity to go Still, I need to
• 17:07
  tell Coach Sky, do you let me line up, so you could go
• 17:11
  both ways. You could be pac Man Lathan. I don't know, maybe
• 17:17
  one you'd like to get into one. One drive. I'll tell you one
• 17:19
  drive on d D. So also, when Green delivers one of those lasers,
• 17:23
  you can you can hang on to them. Of course. Yeah.
• 17:25
  I think I got the best hands on the defensive side. Excuse me,
• 17:27
  I think I got the best hand. I mean Tyron Bradley now had that
• 17:30
  pick jo one hand. He almost dropped that, but TV TV, Yeah,
• 17:40
  on her right, Tyron Bradley. Though, man that the bowl game
• 17:44
  pick was pretty good. That was amazing. But I think I still got
• 17:47
  him. Though, you still got I still got So you're so what you're
• 17:49
  telling us is as the sea, as the career goes on, we can
• 17:52
  expect you to make pretty picks. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I
• 17:56
  think I dropped one last year versus pit and then every day on the jug
• 18:00
  machine, I've been in a hundred passes. I tell myself I won't go
• 18:03
  to drop that again. I like this, Yeah, I like that as
• 18:07
  you nights during the season, like games on the line, bread it drops
• 18:11
  back in space, puts his eyes on the quarterback's eyes. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:15
  picks one and ghost one. We'll come out here, and says first
• 18:17
  reported on three guys for the game Life and said he's got great hands.
• 18:19
  Hey, let's what what let's call it right now? Yeah, we predict
• 18:23
  on three guys before the game. A pick six portray Lathan first to report.
• 18:29
  Thank you very much. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Strength
• 18:33
  Wise, everyone raves about Mike Joseph wv's strength guy. How has he and
• 18:40
  the guys downstairs changed you since you got here? Well, first, they've
• 18:44
  been helping me. My flexibility, Uh, since I got here in high
• 18:48
  school is not something that worked on sketching, just went out there and played
• 18:51
  football, but really turned my body with my flexibility. Every day he just
• 18:55
  tells me to get on the hurdles and just really pushes me to be the
• 18:59
  best I can. But weights like the weights, it's a different mentality.
• 19:03
  When you go in there with Mike Josie, you feel different. You feel
• 19:07
  like your body's transformed after a couple of days, and he just pushed us
• 19:11
  to be the best players that we can be. So you so, what
• 19:14
  has the additional strength and basically retuning your body? What has that done to
• 19:18
  you as a player. Well, first, it's like my past Russ we
• 19:22
  were talking about it earlier, and allowed me to be more explosive off the
• 19:26
  ball and actually used my hands when like I'm taking on the block or something.
• 19:30
  But really helped me in a part of my game. Yeah, when
• 19:33
  I was thinking about this, when you're when you're in a game. Yeah,
• 19:37
  and but leading up to the game, you've practiced, you've watched film,
• 19:42
  you've been coached. Then you get in the game and you see personnel
• 19:45
  on the other side of the line. You see their personnel, you see
• 19:48
  their formation, you see their down in distance. So when the ball is
• 19:52
  snapped, do you pretty much know what they're gonna do? Yeah. For
• 19:56
  the most of the time, we go over to the sky and reports u
• 20:00
  through the week, and then we looked for Tennessees throughout the film and we
• 20:03
  practiced pretty much what we think that were we gonna So the ball snap,
• 20:07
  do you have a good idea then or you like gotta react? You I
• 20:11
  got a pretty good idea, especially with down and distance, Uh huh.
• 20:15
  Yeah, and then it's just a matter of whether you beat the block,
• 20:17
  whether you win the win the battle is there, Okay, let's talk pass
• 20:21
  rush for a second. You mentioned that there we were talking before the show,
• 20:22
  and we really did last year. In the full four games you played,
• 20:26
  you were you were right near the top in Big twelve, multiple different
• 20:30
  pass rush categories. More instinctive? Have you had to learn to be a
• 20:33
  pass rusher? Is that the ball snapped and you're just go get the quarterback?
• 20:37
  Where did those instincts come from or is it or has it been honed
• 20:41
  over your couple of years here? Well? I had the I had to
• 20:42
  learn it of Coach COUMBS did a pretty good job of teaching us last year
• 20:47
  of how to pass rush. But uh, mainly just come from my D
• 20:49
  line doing their job and just open up those scenes for me and just getting
• 20:52
  back to and you just see that hole and say go, I got it.
• 20:56
  I'm going yeah, which you did, which oftentimes we hear the biggest
• 21:00
  transition from high school to college is just the speed of the game. Was
• 21:03
  that the biggest when you step down that field for the first time, was
• 21:06
  that the biggest thing that made you go wild? I don't not necessarily,
• 21:10
  I think it was just me because it was actually my first time actually trying
• 21:12
  to learn the defense. You know, it was way much different from high
• 21:15
  school. So it was like it was like whoa, whoa, like when
• 21:18
  the picture changed. It was like it was way different than it would be
• 21:21
  in high school. So I think that was the hardest thing to adjust to
• 21:23
  when I first got here. You were pretty much I was assuming in high
• 21:26
  school. Just read and react like where is it? Go attack it and
• 21:30
  go get it. You guys have gotten better and better. You said the
• 21:33
  spring that this defense, in your opinion, is going to be better than
• 21:37
  last year's defense. Why are you saying that? Because this winner. They
• 21:45
  really pushed us to compete against each other, and like we went against like
• 21:48
  the offense and Matt drills. We had Matt Drills competition. It was every
• 21:51
  Tuesday and Thursday, and they put up the scores after every every day and
• 21:56
  we would just go out there and compete, try not to lose, and
• 22:00
  you have to hit it in the locker room, you hit it on the
• 22:02
  field us like talking smack to each other. So like that right there.
• 22:04
  We just took that in the spring ball and tried to get like we tried
• 22:07
  to dominate our offense every time we went against him. So you're sensing more
• 22:11
  competitiveness on the defense. Sir, I got you, and what you said
• 22:15
  during your press conference a couple of weeks ago was that you didn't have to
• 22:19
  coach effort. Yeah, last year you felt at times you needed to give
• 22:25
  guys a boot in the pants to go get it. Yeah, we used
• 22:27
  to have to coach Leslie if we weren't doing what were supposed to do running
• 22:32
  to the ball. He used to send us to the line and we used
• 22:33
  to have to do gases. But he used to make every time you blow
• 22:37
  the whiss used to have to up down so that would motivate us to run
• 22:40
  to the ball. Yeah that's a long day. Yeah, that's a long
• 22:44
  day. He's an interesting dude, isn't he. Yeah, Coach Leslie kind
• 22:48
  of like he like you're oftentimes thinking football. He's really super loud guys.
• 22:53
  Yeah, but like he is quiet loud. Does that make sense? Yeah,
• 22:59
  yeah, that makes sense. That's that's him. That's him. He
• 23:00
  just kind of like he says a lot without saying anything. Yeah, I
• 23:04
  mean yeah, he but when he so when he tells us his message,
• 23:07
  he gets it gets across. But uh, because he's a really quiet guy.
• 23:11
  But when he's when he talks like it's really uh, it's really demeanor.
• 23:15
  Yeah, so the old it's the old E. F. Hutton commercial
• 23:18
  hobby. Yeah, when coach Leslie talks people, listen, you're one of
• 23:22
  six, Yeah, one of six. Where do you fit? I'm the
• 23:25
  third oldest, your third oldest. Who is who who dominates when all six
• 23:30
  are together? I probably said my big sister? Oh really yeah, my
• 23:36
  big sister. Yes, he dominates you, like she'll tell you what to
• 23:40
  do. Yeah, yeah, that's it's always been that way. Yes,
• 23:42
  I say that she raised us sometimes my mom was home. Uh huh,
• 23:45
  yeah, you gotta have that. Yeah, you gotta have that. So
• 23:49
  but you we asked you also before we started the show, no question you
• 23:52
  are the elite athlete among the kids. Of course, what they all now
• 23:57
  would they all say that, they all would acknowledge that. Yeah, okay,
• 24:00
  you just look at them and look at me. Okay, okay,
• 24:07
  fine, take a shot to them anyway. So so, like, what
• 24:10
  would they say you were bad at? Yeah, Like if we said,
• 24:12
  okay, Trey's the greatest athlete in the family, Like, but Trey can't
• 24:17
  do fill in the blank sleeper mop sweeper mop, yeah, super mop.
• 24:22
  Answer that pretty fast. Yeah, yeah, that's that's still well. Let
• 24:26
  me ask you this, is that the inability to do it or the lack
• 24:30
  of desire. I think it's the inability to do it. I try to
• 24:33
  do it, but wait a second. Way you can sleep, you can't
• 24:36
  sweep, you can't. It's not always I always stand up in a missing
• 24:42
  spots. It's like it's crazy, like like I'll try to do it,
• 24:47
  like I'll try to mop and stuff, but I still in the missing spots.
• 24:48
  Yeah, he's a spot misser. Yeah, you're are. You're just
• 24:52
  doing a bad job. So like your sister says, okay, give me
• 24:55
  the mop, because yeah, let me do it. Get out of here.
• 24:56
  Is that what happens? No, I'm actually trying to do a good
• 24:59
  job. Is this I don't know. I just can't get a hang of
• 25:00
  it. All right, let's go back to this trucking business you're going to
• 25:03
  open up. I find that to be really cool. So here's what intrigued
• 25:07
  me about that. Very few people your age can't take a concept of demand.
• 25:15
  You're talking about economics, right, so it's supply and demand. So
• 25:18
  you learn supply and demand in economics, and you went like hmm, there's
• 25:22
  a demand for truck drivers and the supply is low. So if I fill
• 25:29
  the need, that would be a successful business. That's exactly what is right.
• 25:33
  Well, I'm just want to tell you something that puts you in the
• 25:36
  one percentile of people that understand that because not a lot of kids get that
• 25:41
  concept. It like everyone always wants to go out and do their own thing,
• 25:44
  even though what they're trying to do people don't want. Oftentimes, there's
• 25:48
  some business owners that don't our sea exactly. The people go into business and
• 25:51
  they want to make I'm not going to get a product because then I'll get
• 25:52
  I'll get attacked. Well, you don't need to get another industry, Matt,
• 25:56
  Yeah, exactly, say something generic. We've had some we've had some
• 25:59
  issues here. But anyway, let's just say a a person wants to go
• 26:02
  out and make widgets. Good with that. Yeah, that's fine, but
• 26:03
  no one really wants the widget. But they want to go in the widget
• 26:07
  business because they like making widgets. Well, guess what happens to their business
• 26:11
  wasn't any demand for it. You're gonna go in there and you're gonna fill
• 26:15
  this thing. I'm gonning, like, people need drivers by the way.
• 26:18
  I know a guy that's got a massive business in that field that can help
• 26:22
  you. Who's a huge West Virginia. I'm not gonna say his name on
• 26:25
  the air, huge West Virginia together. Yeah, I'm huge, like national
• 26:30
  huge. Get on that from Randolph County. But you like to drive too,
• 26:36
  ye be the business you want to drive? Yeah? I love to
• 26:37
  drive. Yeah, I want to drive. You don't mind it. I
• 26:40
  don't don't get like sleepy. No, I actually got to my I just
• 26:42
  got a car. I was gonna ask you about the car. What are
• 26:45
  you driving right now? I got a deep grant here. You don't get
• 26:48
  tired when you drive? Yeah, but I'm you're gonna twenty years old.
• 26:52
  He's not gonna get tires, drive all night. Hey, dude, at
• 26:55
  his age, he has ever driver, that's ever driver. You didn't get
• 26:57
  tired when you were younger? Did you see? I just I just followed
• 27:00
  you on Twitter when you put out so you want you want one of these?
• 27:03
  Like you want this your shirt? The shirt you got on Yeah,
• 27:07
  sixty three thousand, hits sixty. Now he's got people and on its shipping
• 27:14
  it Shipping already called him in said shipping and shipping and has called him on
• 27:18
  that hoppy He's got people internationally call him on the fabric content he wants on
• 27:22
  that shirt, because you can't make Neil's head that that color unless you got
• 27:25
  the right fabric. That's come out nice, not very pixelated. Came out
• 27:29
  nice, hey, soezy. So now you're driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
• 27:34
  Okay, so you're going home. You're gonna go drive that baby floor.
• 27:37
  You're gonna fly back home. I'm flying back. But I actually drove it
• 27:40
  up here over the break, over the hours, twenty straight. Or did
• 27:42
  you stop on I stopped in Atlanta. It's only because I wanted to see
• 27:47
  Atlanta. It wasn't I could have made it in a day, but I
• 27:48
  just wanted to see it Atlant. Where'd you go in Atlanta? Where'd you
• 27:51
  go? Just through town? Yeah? Just through town? But I had
• 27:55
  stopped at Linix, mam, just to see whatever was that's big? That's
• 27:57
  huge, right? Yeah? Yeah? You see a trap awful and at
• 28:00
  it's terrible, terrible. Yeah, like four lanes each way and it's all
• 28:04
  backed up. He didn't care. He's gonna drive truck. He didn't care.
• 28:07
  I didn't care. Goes right through it. This is good on this
• 28:10
  trucking deal. This is good, which leads us into you're part of the
• 28:12
  Chambers Elite Group. Jahamber's Elite Group at WV is a fifth quarter program that
• 28:19
  Neil started and they get these guys ready to go into the work world after
• 28:26
  football is over, whenever that may be. And this will be the second
• 28:30
  year in a row that West Virginia is going overseas. How many guys going?
• 28:34
  At least sixteen? Sixteen? Wow, okay, sixteen, So sixteen
• 28:38
  players go and you will spend time in Germany. Then you'll break apart and
• 28:45
  you'll each go to different places and then you re you re meet, you
• 28:48
  meet together and come home. You can't express how important that is. Man,
• 28:55
  Think about this, dude. It's wonder if you're gonna be a like
• 28:56
  you're gonna be a red shirt freshman or a soft more in school and you've
• 29:00
  already got that international taste. What's that fifth quarter program been like for you?
• 29:06
  It's been a great experience so far. I met I met a lot
• 29:07
  of great people that I think that I probably never met if I wasn't a
• 29:11
  party. Sure, but it's been pretty much good. So far. They
• 29:14
  taught us a lot about life valuable lessons. We met a couple of people
• 29:18
  from here about cybersecurity, finances, just how to make a schedule, brand
• 29:26
  marketing. We met people from influencer and TeamWorks and stuff like that, just
• 29:30
  the fashion industry. Right, it went up to U up in New York.
• 29:34
  Is that the first time you've been in New York? No, that
• 29:37
  was That was my third time actually, but that was my first time actually,
• 29:40
  like just being there and able to do stuff on my own right with
• 29:42
  my parents. So are you a New York guy, like when you're on
• 29:47
  the streets and you feel that bounce and you feel like you like that?
• 29:49
  No, not really really, Yeah, it's too crowded for me. I'm
• 29:55
  like a homebody, so I like just like to chill at home. But
• 29:57
  I mean it was it was a lot of walking too, but I actually
• 30:00
  enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that may explained why
• 30:04
  this felt pretty good to you when you got here, because it doesn't have
• 30:07
  that you know, the buzz, Yeah, yeah, the buzz on that
• 30:11
  thing. So you're gonna go to Germany and then you're gonna go to London.
• 30:15
  Why did you choose London? As your as your weekend trip. Man.
• 30:18
  I just growing up, just always seeing those red telephone boothsts like movies
• 30:22
  and stuff, and then the buses without the top. So I was like
• 30:26
  double deckers, the double deckers. Yeah, yeah, you're like, man,
• 30:30
  I got to experience one of those absolutely. You know. You know
• 30:34
  what else is there, dude? They're taxis. Those big wait you see
• 30:37
  those big, huge black taxis. They're like from here to over the hoppy
• 30:41
  You gotta ride one of those two. So who's going So when you guys
• 30:45
  break apart, who's who's your posse? When you're going to London Sea Martin,
• 30:48
  Sean, Martin, Torris Simmons, h Jodi and uh Jero Williams.
• 30:56
  So four defensive guys and one offensive guys there, so just in case,
• 30:59
  like anything breaks out, you can be well defended. Yeah, you'll cover
• 31:03
  for Williams. Okay, that's good. That's good. That's good. And
• 31:06
  then you leave there and you get to you go to Paris, and that's
• 31:10
  where you guys are all going to get back together and then come back over
• 31:11
  here. That's a good hit, Munich, London, Paris, it is.
• 31:17
  That's awesome, dude, that's awesome. All right, let's jump into
• 31:21
  a little football here. Last season was not the season that you wanted.
• 31:25
  You showed this, Hey, this guy's really going to be good. And
• 31:29
  then obviously you had the injury and unfortunately it's part of the game. You
• 31:36
  know that. And you had hurt your ankle or foot previously, right,
• 31:41
  so you kind of get that part of the business. What did that mentally
• 31:47
  do to you? You stayed in Fort Worth, you had surgery there.
• 31:51
  I think it was the TCU team physician, if I'm not mistaken correct,
• 31:55
  and they took good care of It's got to like that's got a while your
• 31:56
  world. Right, You're out there, you're playing a game. It's a
• 32:00
  Saturday night. Man, it's happening. It's going to them. Boom,
• 32:01
  the injury happens. Next thing, you're on a cart. You're in the
• 32:05
  hospital. So they come up to you and say, hey, here's what
• 32:07
  you got. Was it both bones? Yeah? Both bones? Both bones,
• 32:10
  And this is what we're gonna do. I mean, how how'd y'all?
• 32:14
  How'd you handle that? When you look back on it now, I
• 32:16
  mean I feel like, I mean, just being through that process before.
• 32:21
  At first, I mean like I was like I just wanted. I just
• 32:23
  cared about my team winning. I got like, I didn't really let it
• 32:27
  phase me, but I once I got home and stuff, I hit pretty
• 32:30
  hard that my season was over. Yeah, yeah, I think it does
• 32:32
  right there. So you're in the you're at that's such a level emotionally when
• 32:36
  you're playing in a game. Yeah, and you were watching the game on
• 32:39
  your phone and uh, you mentioned Sean Sean had a big block, Yeah
• 32:44
  he did, and of the field on one or two in that game,
• 32:47
  and and you win that game, and then you go like, Okay,
• 32:50
  now I have I have to deal with this. What do you think your
• 32:52
  season would have been had you stayed healthy? Where were you going in your
• 32:55
  mind? I was shooting for a freshman All American and then hopefully uh at
• 33:01
  that time, like I just had a could a shit would have I think
• 33:05
  a lot of games would have went different in my opinion, And it's just
• 33:07
  what I can say now. If I would have played like Houston and all
• 33:10
  those Oklahoma the Oklahoma State games, I think they would have been a different
• 33:15
  picture. Yeah. So when you're looking at their going like, dude,
• 33:16
  if I was there, I'm making that one, I'm making that play that's
• 33:20
  not happening. I gonna get that. Yeah. Are you aware now when
• 33:22
  you're practicing that, Oh I have this You know I got this rod and
• 33:27
  for screws in my leg? Or is that in your mind at all?
• 33:30
  I mean not really. I wear a shaneguard that helps ease my mind now.
• 33:35
  So. But at a time before, when I first got back into
• 33:38
  it, it was pretty in my mind a lot. But then things just
• 33:43
  started feeling better. So it doesn't really bother me. It doesn't. It
• 33:45
  doesn't hurt now, it doesn't hurt. No, Are you back early or
• 33:50
  did I just misunderstand how long that was going to take because I saw you
• 33:52
  out there during springt practice with no brace or anything nothing shin guard. You
• 33:57
  mentioned you're back earlier than what was expected. Yeah, I'm back earlier than
• 34:00
  I was expected. My trainer Zach and evinced they did a good job.
• 34:05
  As soon as I got back, I was already rehabbing. I started walking
• 34:08
  the third day. Then I got back in town and they told me stop
• 34:13
  using my crutches, even though I wanted to because I thought, man,
• 34:15
  like, my leg needs to heal. But it was like it's gonna heal
• 34:17
  fast if you just stopped limping and actually try to walk on it. So
• 34:22
  you just said, okay, I'll follow the planet worked. Yeh. Coachable,
• 34:24
  very coachable, Yeah, very coachable. Three guys before the game brought
• 34:29
  to us special special designation. Brought to us today. In fact, Trey's
• 34:35
  appearance brought to us by our guy, fine looking Phil at Daniel's Men's Store
• 34:39
  here in Morgantown. And so we thank Daniel's Men's Store for providing us the
• 34:45
  opportunity to have Trey with us. So you got outfitted for one of those
• 34:47
  suits yet over it? Yeah, does nice jobs. So which way did
• 34:51
  you go on that one? What colored you go with for the season?
• 34:53
  I went with all black with a white shirt, and then from my Chambers
• 34:57
  League climbers, I did all gray with a white shirt. You're not trying
• 35:02
  to a lot of those guys went maroon, didn't they? Yeah? They
• 35:06
  did? Yeah, what do you think of the maroon? I think I'm
• 35:07
  gonna go with maroon this year for the season. I think because I already
• 35:10
  got the I got blue gray, black, and that's the only one yet
• 35:15
  the basics covered. I got what are your what are your fitting requirements?
• 35:17
  When Phil gets up there and you know. I love the way because he's
• 35:20
  got like pins here in that sleeve and then he goes with those got those
• 35:23
  tape measures, like you want those pants cut a certain way? Like what
• 35:27
  do you where you telling him you want those coffs? Yeah, like a
• 35:29
  little bit shorter so you don't want to show the socks. No, No,
• 35:32
  I don't like but uh I like him. I kind of like him
• 35:37
  tight at the bottom, but I don't like him showing. But I like
• 35:39

  I got two bookcases and I line them up. How many shoes? So
• 36:14

• 36:17
  some of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, like how many shoes you have? I
• 36:22
  say, ballpark around like one fifty. I got a I got a bunch
• 36:25
  at home that I just I just didn't bring up with me. And then
• 36:29

• 39:57
  mm hmm, I'm about this setup you got in that. Yeah, let's
• 40:00
  talk food from it. Like when you go over to that the smoothie what
• 40:02
  do you'll what do y'all call that? Like the drink area down the weight
• 40:06
  room, the smoothie area. What is this? It's called you hit that
• 40:09
  daily? Yeah, we it's mandatory. We have to right before we work
• 40:14
  out. So what do you go with? I go with a gatoray bar
• 40:15
  and getoraight that's it. Just a regular gatorad like drinking now, just not
• 40:21
  a shake, not a shape. You just drink those after what kinds of
• 40:23
  the bar? What flavor? Chocolate, chocolate chip? It's pretty good.
• 40:27
  Yes, it's not a huge after taste. No. Not how many calories
• 40:30
  you're trying to get a day? Do you know? Working on my protein?
• 40:32
  I just I just never my body tells me I'm full. But they're
• 40:37
  not. Like you carry around one of those big gallons you gotta drink all
• 40:38
  the time. I don't, but uh I drink. I drink water a
• 40:42
  lot. I drink around. Do you know how many how many ounces?
• 40:45
  I probably see? I probably end up drinking a gallon today, But I
• 40:49
  don't carry the jug. Yeah, carry the judge. Yeah. When you're
• 40:53
  when you're going ones on ones, I have two questions. You're going to
• 40:57
  ones on the ones? Who on the offensive side do you look forward to
• 41:00
  hitting? And who on the offensive side do you dread like, oh gosh,
• 41:04
  this guy's coming at me. Uh I look forward to hitting uh Jaheim
• 41:07
  like, uh it's crazy it sounds, but I think I'm talking to him
• 41:14
  a good job. I had hit him one one one time we were doing
• 41:17
  like a third down period. It was third to one and I shot the
• 41:20
  gap and I laid him out. I think he remembered that. So every
• 41:22
  time we do a mountain tackling, I don't think he want to let me
• 41:27
  hit him again. So I haven't gotten down since after that. But one
• 41:30
  guy, I mean, he don't bring fear into me. But it's like
• 41:32
  damn, but it's uh trailing trailing Davis. It's like when he's yeah,
• 41:39
  yeah, yeah, you gotta, you gotta, yeah, you can get
• 41:42
  those tight ends. Sometimes they're sneaky. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's
• 41:45
  good. Why do you think Jahiem is good as he is? What do
• 41:50
  you have? I think his quickness, Uh, just the way he like
• 41:53
  he's able to move and rotate his body at a faster pace than anybody.
• 41:59
  I think that's what's really that's really got him where he's at right now.
• 42:01
  Yeah, we've been on a pretty long time here. We haven't even talked
• 42:04
  about your guy, c J. Donaldson. You both attended Gulliver together and
• 42:09
  you knew him since he was eight years old. What did the eight year
• 42:14
  old C. J. Donaldson look like? I mean, he was always
• 42:16
  pretty big. I think that's why I'm bigger than him now. But yeah,
• 42:21
  he was. He was pretty tall. He's pretty tall. He's always
• 42:22
  been tall for his age, and he's always been kind of thick, but
• 42:27
  he was. He was a big kid when he was younger. What did
• 42:30
  you think when they moved him over to running back? Like when he first
• 42:34
  told me, because we shared an apartment at the time our freshman year and
• 42:37
  when he came home and told me, I'm like, bro, no way,
• 42:40
  Like I just can't believe it. I was like, I was like,
• 42:43
  they'll give you probably like three days and then you'll be back at a
• 42:45
  tight end and receiver. But uh, it was just that one scrimmage.
• 42:50
  We had a scrimmage during fall camp. Yeah, Saturday night, Bro,
• 42:53
  Like he just took off and I'm like, damn. The next thing you
• 42:58
  know, he just got in to damn. Like it was like it was
• 43:00
  actually so crazy during the pit game, like I'm looking at the screen so
• 43:04
  like we're in a defensive huddle, I'm looking at the screen and then you
• 43:07
  just see number twelve running the ball. I'm like, who the hell is
• 43:08
  that? Who is that running the bar? Like CJ tuning around Like it
• 43:16
  was just it just took off from there. Oh, I did not know
• 43:21
  who number twelve was running the ball when he came back to tell you that
• 43:22
  in the apartment, that was he was he surprised by it? Was he
• 43:25
  excited for the opportunity? What was his demeanor when he told he was confused
• 43:29
  himself, because like he's not a runn Now I say, I still say
• 43:31
  personally he's not running, But I always know him as a little running I
• 43:35
  mean, h back receiver the guy. So but uh, he's done a
• 43:39
  pretty good job. Yeah, he's been pretty good. Yeah, I like
• 43:43
  him. So who you're living with now? I live alone? Oh?
• 43:46
  Really? Yeah? Just you and the design team for the Neil Breezy T
• 43:51
  shirt. Just that crew that it needs more quiet there for the design element
• 43:54
  design teams back home. Yeah, go back to for a second training table.
• 44:00
  We kurgib will moved us off that too fast favorite food item in the
• 44:04
  complex that you get when it's out. You say, that's my thing.
• 44:06
  I go to that ocre okrah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Haley,
• 44:10
  she only puts it out because of me, because I grill about it
• 44:13
  every day about I want fried okra. So when she when we have fried
• 44:15
  okre, I usually have a plate fuld you hit it? They bred that
• 44:19
  or they just that's just yeah, the breaded it up. Yeah, they
• 44:22
  bread up. Okay and Haley's the nutritionist, yes, okay and okay,
• 44:29
  So after okra, what's our proteins that we're gonna crush chickens steaks? What
• 44:34
  do you? What do you what's like your daily protein? I just got
• 44:37
  an id on you, dude. I don't know why I haven't talked about
• 44:38
  this. I would imagine you can consume large amounts of food. Okay,
• 44:44
  yeah, so when you're when you're when you're crushing it, what are you
• 44:46
  banging away at? You said? When you when you're crushing like what what
• 44:52
  do you what do you go elbows down on it? Like? When when
• 44:53
  do you do like this? Like? What is it? Is it steak?
• 44:57
  Is it wings? Is it? It's actually a oxygen? U?
• 45:00
  We don't have it? Yeah? Hey, when she orders it? Uh,
• 45:04
  this is from Jamaica spice, but I eat it every weekend. I
• 45:07
  get two places of oxtails and white rice. M hm. So I like
• 45:09
  that. Yeah that's good. Get that you cook it down and sauce and
• 45:14
  then then pick out that tender meat and a ox tails. That's good.
• 45:16
  Yeah, that's just good. That's good stuff. Yeah, that's good stuff.
• 45:20
  I like that. Okay, give me your takeaway on this. Are
• 45:23
  you a dessert guy? Like cake? Yeah? Like chocolate cake. Okay,
• 45:28
  that's about it. The dessert is just chocolate cake. Let me guess
• 45:31
  no, why couldn't I have been blessed with that? Like like chocolate cake.
• 45:34
  That's it, every single dessert under the sun. It's a weakness brea.
• 45:37
  You guys. Uh, you got in the west, over in the
• 45:40
  in the room, in the in the weight room. You got all those
• 45:45
  things over in a corner, the bad the chamber, all that stuff in
• 45:51
  there. Do you do you take good advantage of that as far as recovery
• 45:53
  goes? Yeah? Uh yeah. So the light bed actually, uh says
• 46:00
  as an injury feature and it actually helps your bones regenerate. So I've been
• 46:04
  getting that almost every day because might have been pushing to get in there.
• 46:07
  But that cryo, that cryo chamber. I try to stay away from it,
• 46:10
  even though he made me get in there yesterday actually after I got done
• 46:15
  working. Now, he wouldn't let us leave unless we got in it.
• 46:17
  You don't like that just doesn't feel like it's cold. Probably get like like
• 46:22
  negative two hundred's cool? Does it feel better than when you get out?
• 46:27
  Is it work? Yeah, it definitely works. It definitely works. But
• 46:29
  just sitting there for three minutes, like it feels like your body's just on
• 46:31
  fire, and it's what does it do? What's it do? It just
• 46:37
  it's cold, cold in cols your body down. I don't really know the
• 46:39
  science behind it, but he tried to tell us, but it just goes
• 46:43
  over. It's just swelling and stuff to inflation. Yeah, okay, what
• 46:47
  about the depth the perception thing there, the chamber thing where you're going there.
• 46:51
  They say, after you go in that thing, you sleep like a
• 46:52
  baby. You're gone to that thing? Yeah, I have the what's that
• 46:55
  like? The pool thing? Yeah? The water? The water thing yeah,
• 46:58
  uh lashes your muscles. Uh. You just sit back there and you
• 47:01
  float. It's like it got probably like a ton of thought in it.
• 47:05
  Yeah, exactly right. And the relaxes and must you're sitting there about forty
• 47:07
  five minutes and get out, like your body feels loose. It's like sensory
• 47:12
  deprivation exactly, That's what it is. It's like you're tripping. Okay,
• 47:15
  well, this has been good you've enjoyed. I've enjoyed this, enjoyed this.
• 47:19
  This is good. Absolutely, this is good. It's just kind of
• 47:21
  what you thought it was. No, I thought it was gonna be like
• 47:23
  a like an actual interview, like an actual interview. Interview. Ah,
• 47:30
  hell, that might be the promo for the show, be an actual interview.
• 47:38
  Thank you, that's our provo. No, that's what's right, that's
• 47:40
  about right. Yeah, that's not what this is. I'm just like I
• 47:43
  told you. I mean, I didn't lie. Right before we started.
• 47:45
  I said, Okay, this is gonna be like something you haven't done before.
• 47:47
  We're just gonna sit around talk. You talked to you talked to Garrett
• 47:51
  about coming on here. No, I talked to really a lot of fun
• 47:54
  said, so he gave us a sign off on it. Yeah, he
• 47:58
  said he wants to. He wants to be like a permanent host, like
• 48:00
  he wants us to rename the show four guys before the game, like that.
• 48:05
  He wants to come on. He could talk, he can talk.
• 48:10
  Hey, give me a couple of guys the people fans may not know about
• 48:15
  yet on defense that you think are gonna go like boom, whoa, You're
• 48:20
  gonna like this dude, Zay Jennis for starters. Yeah, we saw that
• 48:24
  Jennis. I mean he just moved to the spirit position. But man,
• 48:28
  when he gets going like kids electric and as you see in the spring game,
• 48:31
  he got a lot of potential. I think that that's gonna be one
• 48:35
  of you guys next freshman All American. Yeah, yeah, he's gonna give
• 48:38
  us a pretty good chance of being good this year. He's gonna help us
• 48:42
  in the back end. Josiah Trotter does what He just find a football and
• 48:46
  it's actually so crazy, like you just I guess he just picks it up
• 48:52
  from his dad and he's just boring it in his jeans. But that dude,
• 48:53
  he has a he has an attack for the football, and just his
• 48:58
  knowledge about football is just crazy. He's just something that you just at a
• 49:01
  nineteen year old kid like you just wouldn't you wouldn't find that. I think
• 49:05
  he'll be that guy that's going to be barking out pre snap, going like
• 49:08
  it's going there, it's going right. I mean, actually he had a
• 49:12
  play like that and it was actually so crazy, like every coach in the
• 49:15
  building was trying to figure out, like what did he see and how did
• 49:17
  he know it was like it was crazy. So I'm on the left side.
• 49:22
  I was playing Mike at the time. He was playing Will and he's
• 49:24
  seen a tonal screen before the play even started and he just shot over there
• 49:30
  but he missed the ball. But Coase Coons just goes to him. He's
• 49:32
  like, how did you know that? How did you know it was gonna
• 49:35
  be a screen? Like, tell me so I could teach the group like
• 49:38
  you see it in the Every officive coach in the building is trying to figure
• 49:42
  out how did he know it was going to be a screen? Like he
• 49:44
  just just before the balls. Now he just crossed my face and I'm like,
• 49:46
  what are you doing? But he almost picked the screen. Yeah,
• 49:50
  those are the great ones, man, those that have the those that have
• 49:52
  that knowledge and get it, they're scary. When and then you have the
• 49:57
  natural ability, then it becomes a package. Really changes your room this year,
• 50:00
  right, you're back then Trotter's in. Cutter got so much experience last
• 50:05
  year. I'm sure he's taking a step forward, is right. Karako comes
• 50:07
  in, You have some depth, Kyden buyser. For the first time in
• 50:09
  a number of years, there's a lot of depth in your room. Now
• 50:12
  right, Yeah, that'll be fine. I can't mention it too much,
• 50:15
  but I think we got a really good thing going on. You don't give
• 50:19
  any trades. We've got a really good thing going on in that room.
• 50:22
  Man. I love what his group is headed. Yeah. Yeah, we
• 50:24
  want we don't want Neil Breezy to get on us and say I never Trey
• 50:28
  went on there and talked about us and never exactly. Hey, so what
• 50:32
  was that defensive formation y'all used on Saturday? Everyone's stacked behind the center?
• 50:37
  What what you? What's that? What's that called? I can't, I
• 50:40
  can't, I can't. I can't disfilate that out. No, I mean,
• 50:43
  what's I mean? When you say what it's called? Case? They
• 50:44
  have to bark it out and then they have to get into that. You
• 50:45
  don't want to. Well, what it was was how many are five?
• 50:51
  Yeah? Now that was just home We made up for the spring game.
• 50:53
  Five defensive players the center stack. It's cause that yeah stack stack. Look,
• 51:00
  yeah, five defensive players in a row front of the center, in
• 51:01
  front of the center and strike the center nervous. Yeah, doesn't know where
• 51:05
  the mic is? Yeah, I don't know where the mic is. Hmm.
• 51:09
  Okay, this is all good. Yeah, this is all good.
• 51:12
  Okay, so Zay and Trotter anybody else? Uh Nate, Nate, uh
• 51:20
  big Nate. Uh. He has potential to Uh he's been getting really better
• 51:23
  since he got here. Uh with for Tomar and Hamm and Russell those Yeah,
• 51:29
  pushing it, yeah, pushing them and just showing them. But yeah,
• 51:31
  he is a good chance of hoping us. How about French the new
• 51:36
  company France, Yeah, ty France. He has a hogh motor. That
• 51:38
  dude he'll get to the quarterback. Yeah. That dude fast. Yeah.
• 51:42
  To be in a position that he is, he's he's that dude's fast.
• 51:45
  Uh, he's him at TV. I think if we ever get into a
• 51:49
  position where they're both on the field at the same time, I think it
• 51:51
  would be a nightmare for the opposite for the court. Tyron Bradley, Yeah,
• 51:54
  yeah, speaking Tyron Bradley and him and Russell. How about their arms
• 52:00
  throwing the football? Did you see him and Russell? Yeah? I mean
• 52:04
  he don't end up. He was bringing it. Yeah. Both quarterbacks in
• 52:07
  high school, right, so you can throw it. TV TV has a
• 52:09
  TV has a skung arm. Like we're getting ready for practice. This stuff.
• 52:13
  We'll throw the ball around. But he had lost that thing probably sixty
• 52:15
  seventy yards just in an indoor That's There's a lot of guys in this team
• 52:20
  that can throw it that aren't quarterbacks. Yeah, Jahiem can throw it,
• 52:22
  Jean can throw it. Wyatt milem could have been major League baseball pitchers.
• 52:27
  You know that Milon could have been. Truly. I just found outut when
• 52:30
  we went to the baseball park for our little team event. He was a
• 52:34
  stud in high school. Ye seen, I've seen this swing. I was
• 52:37
  like, yeah, oh yeah, left handed pitcher six six throwing in the
• 52:39
  nineties when he was fifteen. He could have him and Russell Bradley can throw
• 52:43
  it. Pac Man Fox, pac Man Fox. Yeah, you know,
• 52:46
  pac Man Fox could too, so you but yeah, but you want to
• 52:50
  catch it. You don't want to throw it. You want to be a
• 52:52
  receiver for a snap. Yeah, okay, that's all good, that's all
• 52:55
  good, all right, all right? What do we not cover? Well?
• 53:00
  We well, we we see we did a lot. We covered a
• 53:04
  lot, including certival socks. Yeah. I didn't think we were I didn't
• 53:07
  think we'd go there. Did you hang with Pat White at all? Saturday?
• 53:10
  No, I didn't. Now did you know who he was? You
• 53:14
  didn't know who he was? I did, Yeah, but uh, Pat
• 53:15
  mcafeel my coat, he was on the other side, so I really couldn't
• 53:19
  get involved with him too much. What uh what was the McAfee experience like
• 53:22
  for you? It was crazy that dude, he's actually he actually himself.
• 53:28
  I mean, he didn't change, not one bit, that's true. He
• 53:31
  was actually late to our game. So yeah, yeah, lead to our
• 53:36
  games. That tells you about him. Yeah, yeah, a good night.
• 53:39
  Yeah, both those guys legends. Yeah, yeah, they were.
• 53:44
  It was a great call by Neil to bring those guys in, especially bringing
• 53:46
  like McAfee back because of bad experience after the pick game. So it's just
• 53:51
  nice to have him back. And both those guys said that, they said,
• 53:53
  we love said they both said this. I don't come back enough because
• 53:58
  you know what, Hey, that's the same thing, right, Once a
• 54:00
  mountain, you're always a mountaineer, and I know you're still a baby,
• 54:02
  but like ten years from now, fifteen years from now, when you come
• 54:06
  back here, that's how it's going to be. It doesn't go away.
• 54:08

  Heat fan. Miami everything a little little rough there in the in the playoffs
• 56:22
  this night, you know. Yeah, I'm not our gym or Eric Sposha,
• 56:27
  but I think we need to sign more quality players there. Normally normally
• 56:31
  works Jimmy Butler being out there. Yeah, but I think even with Jimmy,
• 56:36
  I'm personally not a big Jimmy fan, but he's done a lot for
• 56:38
  Miami Heat. But I think we need like a bigger, bigger star.
• 56:43
  What is it that you don't like about Butler? I just I mean me
• 56:46
  personally, Uh, I'm not I'm a basketball guy, but I don't really
• 56:51
  know too much about basketball. But I like somebody that's gonna take a three
• 56:54
  and you know, drive to the hoop. And I think that's just not
• 56:58
  his game. But I mean he does pretty good for you like basketball?
• 57:01
  Yeah, yeah, I like basketball, but I don't like playing. You
• 57:04

• 57:15
  Don huge, huge Marlins. The Super Bowl this year, a lot of
• 57:20
  people pick him the LANs, of course, all of them. Yes,
• 57:22
  sir, so just a South Florida dude. Okay, that's cool. Hurricanes
• 57:27
  man. No, that's the only thing I'm not. I'm not my Hurricanes
• 57:30
  man. Why do you think that is? I just I don't know,
• 57:35
  it's just something about it growing up. I just really disliked about it.
• 57:38
  And then I also went to a lot of Florida State camps when I was
• 57:42
  younger, so I'm Florida State fan at heart, but uh not really Miami
• 57:45
  Hurricanes man. Yeah, yeah, well you gotta pick him down there.
• 57:49
  I mean, they got you gotta make some of courses. Night. We're
• 57:52
  gonna do a little textual healing. You good for textual health, all right,
• 57:54
  Trey Lathan is gonna get ready for his first ever textual healings. Play
• 57:59
  it, man, let's let's to do textual healing. Let's do what's Who's
• 58:04
  this brought to you by? Well? When it plays, and let's asking
• 58:08
  me like what player do I want? At? The plans never asked me
• 58:10
  that question, like we better computer? What the heck is this? Welcome
• 58:15
  to Windows Media Player hasn't never asked me that before it's happening. I mean,
• 58:19
  I don't have to. I hope I don't have to sing it.
• 58:22
  Oh, there it is. Let's do it. See hear what it's saying.
• 58:44
  Man, When you get that feeling, you get that textual healing when
• 58:49
  the Mountaineers play. So you get it? Yeah, I get it.
• 58:52
  All right, let's do this thing. Textual healing is brought to us by
• 58:55
  episode eight hundred dot com. That's where we sell our merch our shirts,
• 59:00
  our coffee, our popcorn, our hats, and first time ever since trays
• 59:07
  here, we've got five Peter built tractor trailers that we've got on there right
• 59:15
  now. Confirmed. Yeah, nice Peterbilt reference. By the way, game
• 59:17
  day grind, Oh, game day grind coffee, we have yours again.
• 59:21
  I'm doing this because you started it. Now you don't even do it.
• 59:22
  I'll bring it. I'll start to make more. I'll start to bring more.
• 59:27
  All right, let's do a textual healing four in the morning. Now
• 59:30
  you will coffee. Let's sleep, Texter Hoppy. I don't know if you've
• 59:35
  seen this or not yet. My daughter graduated from Marshall last Saturday. I
• 59:38
  can confirm that the commencement speaker, Chris Hardener, No Gardener, Oh his
• 59:45
  Gardener's a mistype. It's type though. Chris Gardner. Gardner asked, where
• 59:47
  is Hoppy? This is buma pee when female listener Candy who wrote that?
• 59:52
  So he actually did say that when he went to the stage. My name
• 59:54
  on it. We got a text last people confirmed about that. Yeah,
• 59:59
  because Chris Gardener, who what did he write? He wrote the Pursuit of
• 1:00:01
  Happiness okay turned into a movie with Will Smith exactly. And he's a motivational
• 1:00:07
  speaker and I had him on the show because he was going to be the
• 1:00:13
  commencement speaker. Really outgoing guy, incredible guy. Put me on the defensive
• 1:00:16
  immediately, and at the end of the interview, I said, well,
• 1:00:21
  will be the commencement speaker Saturday at Marshall. We said will you be there?
• 1:00:22
  And I said no, I'm not planning to be there. I don't
• 1:00:24
  think He said why not, I'm not going to be there. So he
• 1:00:30
  was giving me a hard time about that. Then he dropped my name right
• 1:00:32
  when he got all those people, he said, where's Hoppy? Where's Hopes?
• 1:00:35
  That's hilarious. Hoppy shamed at the Yeah, graduation. Chris Yogi Chris
• 1:00:40
  and Salt Lake City, Utah, writes in I love the Senator's stats show.
• 1:00:44
  However, it feels like cliff notes for WVU and their opponents strengths and
• 1:00:47
  weaknesses to assist them in defeating each other. Have you guys ever considered how
• 1:00:52
  this could assist our opponents? The timing of the stats before the game,
• 1:00:55
  so you could be giving information, Brad that the the other team is using
• 1:01:01
  to beat the world champion mountaineers if they ever had a chance to do that.
• 1:01:06
  By the way, he said, Tony had a great road warrior trick
• 1:01:08
  to keep the Klondike bar another food off your clothes when you're driving. Simply
• 1:01:13
  get a large bath towel in your vehicle. You put that over your clothes
• 1:01:15
  while you're indulging while driving. I can't wait to see the Golden Blue in
• 1:01:20
  Utah. You ever eat tray when you're driving, like down the road?
• 1:01:23
  That Klondike bars, you know those ice cream bars? So like those are
• 1:01:27
  hard to eat because that chocolate it fragments and breaks off, It just falls
• 1:01:30
  on your clothes. So he's basically saying is get a get a towel while
• 1:01:35
  you're driving. You probably you'd advocate for that, woun't you? Of course
• 1:01:39
  Klondike bar got another item for him to sell on the shopify site. He
• 1:01:44
  can get the Tray Lathan towel for driving bibsis if you better get on it,
• 1:01:50
  because otherwise we'll have the three guys laptowel. So is Chris worried that
• 1:01:53
  Texas text listening to this and when I drop those stats, that that might
• 1:01:58
  tip them off to some matchups? Yeah? Yeah, hey, what did
• 1:02:00
  he should? What did the pfs? I appreciate that, but I mean
• 1:02:02
  I think they're I think they're looking at their own stuff too. What was
• 1:02:05
  the most common theme on PFF about Trey pass rush? Just overall pass rush?
• 1:02:10
  And you told him what stat did you give him that he led the
• 1:02:13
  team in and he played quarterback hits? You led the team in quarterback hits
• 1:02:16
  in four games for the whole season. Yeah, yeah, got a chance.
• 1:02:20
  Was top ten and Big twelve pass rush almost all year while he played
• 1:02:23
  the first four games. Tray was well, Texter says on the Garrett Green
• 1:02:28
  and Pat Way. Here's the thing about that, huh, you know,
• 1:02:30
  so he's top ten. We would highlight sometimes the matchup of Trey versus whomever
• 1:02:35
  the left or right tackle he's gonna be lining up. I mean, I
• 1:02:38
  think I'm pretty sure, like the opponent when they played Pitt, I'm sure
• 1:02:43
  I'm pretty sure Pitt was aware of Trey Lathan before I said it on the
• 1:02:46
  show. Yeah, don't you think. I think I think he probably jumped
• 1:02:50
  out on film before I ever had to say that. You were pretty good.
• 1:02:52
  Don't you think I in the sky? I in the sky does not
• 1:02:54
  lie, right? Uh? Someone said on the Garrett Green and Pat White
• 1:03:00
  comparison, the obvious similarity between those two is throwing the ball. Beyond that,
• 1:03:04
  is there anything common in baseball that helps with speed, elusiveness, decision
• 1:03:08
  making, etc. Like a quarterback? Would it pay to look for quarterback
• 1:03:13
  recruits who also play baseball? Right? It's up pure alley baseball guy.
• 1:03:19
  I would think most of them have played baseball at some point. That's a
• 1:03:22
  that's a natural, easy transition for guys growing up to be in both of
• 1:03:27
  those sports. So I don't know that you have to look for it.
• 1:03:28
  I think there's a lot of them that have done that. Yeah, Texter
• 1:03:32
  says he sent us a picture of the twenty ten Mountaineer basketball team. There's
• 1:03:37
  sixteen dudes on that, and he said, hey, I can't read that
• 1:03:40
  that far away, but something about transfer portal days. What changed? I
• 1:03:45
  counted those guys. There's sixteen dudes there or a twaevel sixteen. Four of
• 1:03:49
  those guys did transfer, so you did have a twenty five percent departure rate
• 1:03:53
  back then. But says that's the final four team. Yeah, pretty much
• 1:03:57
  as the final four team. Yes, pretty much. That's fun fourteen.
• 1:04:00
  Yeah, there's Missoula there. Bottom left, Kevin Jones Day, Shawn,
• 1:04:03
  Johnny West, Devin Ebanks, Dalton Pepper laughed, Danny Jennings laught, getting
• 1:04:11
  a couple other guys. Trey, you're gonna stay right, of course,
• 1:04:14
  we sure got nowhere to go Mountaineer. He's a guy, he's a mountaineer.
• 1:04:17
  Just want to make sure you know portal shirts. Well, it's true
• 1:04:21
  he wouldn't be selling Breezy. Buy some Neil Breezy T shirts. It helps.
• 1:04:26
  I can't wait this dude, when you go overseas, you're gonna go
• 1:04:29
  like, we're gonna tour you around Germany. You're gonna find that one fabric
• 1:04:31
  factory and you're gonna have the Neil breezy European fabric version of it. Don't
• 1:04:38
  you think Neil and Neil and a nice Shaneel that's what that'll be. Texter
• 1:04:43
  says. It appears the three guys are now executive producers of a Tony Award
• 1:04:46
  nominated Broadway show. It's pronounced Illinois, just as Tony intended. The show
• 1:04:51
  is a mysterious, deeply moving, and unforgettable dance musical. Will fund We'll
• 1:04:57
  autographed playbills be for selling Episode eight under dot com. Also, do you
• 1:05:00
  have a favorite musical or theater style play that you've seen in person? Signed
• 1:05:04
  by Matt and Pittsburgh. I've seen Illinois. What the heck did I see
• 1:05:13
  the one with the music from Abba Mama Miya, saw that in Toronto.
• 1:05:17
  And I saw the really super really big one. What the heck is the
• 1:05:23
  Oh my gosh about the history of the American Revolution and the President. I
• 1:05:28
  saw that in Chicago. Are you a play guy at all? Or a
• 1:05:31
  movie guy? I actually just seen Hamilton. We went to New York.
• 1:05:33
  Oh yeah, you guys did what you think? Man? Was that a
• 1:05:36
  wow? I mean at first I didn't think I was gonna like it,
• 1:05:39
  but man, when they started singing and stuff. That tremendous, right,
• 1:05:43
  it was amazing. So mine would be one year for the Big East Tournament.
• 1:05:45
  When we were there, we got tickets to go over to a Broadway
• 1:05:48
  show. I was not happy. I'm not happy about the tickets. You
• 1:05:53
  didn't want to go. I didn't want to miss the games. We were
• 1:05:55
  missing games, and I knew it was against my like, I was vehemently
• 1:05:59

  want to go, didn't want to miss games at the Garden And did and
• 1:06:03

• 1:06:10

  So just call it. It's not that it's it's it's another time hey

• 1:07:26
  in person over mountain roasting here in the town. Charles Wesley Godwin. Yeah,
• 1:07:30
  I talked to him and his wife. He was just in California.
• 1:07:31
  Well, he was on his way so this was Wednesday. Ran into him
• 1:07:35
  Wednesday morning. He was playing Wednesday night in Tallahassee. Yes, he was.

• 1:07:57
  into Neil Breezy at the airport. Use me, I was coming back the
• 1:08:01
  other day and then the Pittsburgh airport. Right here comes Neil Breezy right in,
• 1:08:08
  and immediately we stopped change pleasantries. Immediately had to weigh in that here
• 1:08:13
  it was a couple of days before the end of the portal and he had
• 1:08:15
  to go to Arizona. He was not happy about that. He was probably
• 1:08:19
  right, is right? Probably right? Why they scheduled this meeting. Scheduled
• 1:08:23
  meeting. So did he come to you guys and say, hey, look,
• 1:08:26
  I gotta go. I don't want to go. He told it we
• 1:08:28
  had a team. He was like, man, I gotta go. If
• 1:08:30
  not, I'm gonna get fine. So he's like, I got to that
• 1:08:33
  happy about that. He told me to work to do. Yeah, Texter
• 1:08:38
  for Brad, for Brad, these are smaller than Santa's boots Jeff from Sandyville.
• 1:08:44
  What I don't know, but what medals is that? What it says
• 1:08:49
  medals, But those are not you got good vision. I made a mistake
• 1:08:57
  and he saw Christmas we had some on here and I thought that with the
• 1:09:01
  design looked like Santa's boot. Instead it was a damn candy cane. And
• 1:09:09
  these guys get on this. We like racy peanut butter cups on this show.
• 1:09:14
  I'm sure somebody never get never get any free never text to us,
• 1:09:17
  there's never got any sponsorship out even though we got a great idea. Let's
• 1:09:20
  do Santa's boot Christmas time. Hey, three guys. Random thing I stumbled
• 1:09:27
  onto that here's a rule to his defense. Random thought that I stumbled onto
• 1:09:33
  that I thought Hoppy might enjoy. I love the show Stephen falls Church Virginia.
• 1:09:39
  Every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying. There you
• 1:09:45
  go, text her hard from Jim and Charleston with Tony hoping to make amends
• 1:09:53
  with West Virginia's accountants. I'm reminded of a quote that I read from a
• 1:09:57
  celebrity known for her partying lifestyle. I think Tara Reid, but I'm not
• 1:10:00
  sure. When asked about her lifestyle, she said, life is for having
• 1:10:04
  fun. If you don't want to have fun, go be an accountant.
• 1:10:09
  I shared that with my accountant, who does like to have fun, and
• 1:10:12
  he had a good laugh. Fake that you didn't say that. That's from
• 1:10:15
  the famous philosopher Tara Reid. We don't need to get any more trouble.
• 1:10:19
  We got accountants. We're doing live showing tomorrow, live show tomorrow in front
• 1:10:24
  of accountants. By the way, speaking of that event, can you still
• 1:10:28
  go? Tickets still available? Sure, just go to wv SCPA dot org
• 1:10:32
  and it's open to non accountants. Yes, we don't have to be doing
• 1:10:35
  us a favor if we had some non accounts in the room, just to
• 1:10:38
  make sure we had a favorable response. Also along that, did you pre
• 1:10:43
  production meeting here live? Did you get us a separate stage away from you
• 1:10:46
  or are we all sharing one all sharing one right next to each other in
• 1:10:48
  case there's any In case anything breaks out, you guys are involved. To
• 1:10:51
  let him go up first. Texas says, so excited for WVU basketball's newest
• 1:10:58
  player. If you know, you know, certainly likes look certainly looks like
• 1:11:02
  Davrees is getting all of the the players. So Javon's small Oklahoma state transfer
• 1:11:08
  commits WVU I saw him play last year obviously when West Virginia played Oak State,
• 1:11:15
  really get really big pickup. Some services have West Virginia's transfer portal class
• 1:11:18
  right now ranked at five. Most had him as the number one point guard
• 1:11:23
  available in the portal. A little breakdown on him coming up in a future
• 1:11:27
  show, but that's a that's a nice get and needed get in a super
• 1:11:30
  addition for Darren Devrees. So you have Tucker Devrees, who was number one

  wins for next year? I'm thinking over under sixteen and a half. Brad
• 1:12:18
  Sprad's also has there been, to anyone's knowledge, a team in college basketball
• 1:12:21
  that's returned no players? The Gentleman a couple of episodes back set the over
• 1:12:26
  under returning at one and a half. He set a stellar line and one
• 1:12:30
  step further of the teams that have had two or fewer returning players, West
• 1:12:33
  Virginia's got one. How many of those teams have fared the following year?
• 1:12:38
  Something to effort done. Thanks for all your laughs. You guys, without

  So this is what we've established, like jellyfish, now you have issues with

  something of discovery for you may not have known this. This could be holding
• 1:13:34
  you back in life. Jellyfish and sharks actually to uh when I was ten
• 1:13:41
  years old, Oh now I got rip current rip current and the keys and
• 1:13:46
  uh it was actually it was. It was actually crazy. When I was
• 1:13:49
  one of my friends and his dad and we just we went diving for a
• 1:13:54
  starfish and then I just got caught in a rip current and I wasn't I
• 1:13:58
  wasn't aware of the swim along with the rip current, and then I started
• 1:14:00
  flowing away. So we just started flowing away from the boat. We ended
• 1:14:02
  up probably like three hundred yards away from the boat and then uh, it's
• 1:14:06
  actually a big thing called the coast Guard. Uh and then just a Parasitlan
• 1:14:13
  company boat had picked us up and eventually brought us brought us to the land.
• 1:14:15
  How old. So it was so yeah, so all kidding inside?
• 1:14:19
  That was real? Yeah, it was real, pretty much. Yeah,
• 1:14:21
  it was real. I get it, man, scary, I'm the pressure
• 1:14:25
  to get back in the water. Well, yeah, he stays in the
• 1:14:27
  bathtub. Now, just just got two walls there. I'm good with that.
• 1:14:31
  That's enough for me. I had a situation too. I had a
• 1:14:34
  situation with rafting rafting, whitewater rafting. I heard about that. Yeah,
• 1:14:41
  so that's just like, oh yeah, yeah, I think I have heard.
• 1:14:44
  Yeah, that was that was true. That was really really you want
• 1:14:45
  to tell that. That was just scary as hell. I mean, got
• 1:14:47
  we went on, We went backed up pretty good, didn't you. I
• 1:14:49
  did, went upside down, foot went under, got stuck on a rock,
• 1:14:53
  and my foot wedged under a rock underneath and I'm underneath the water.
• 1:14:58
  And that's scares the heck out you. Yeah, that wakeshop, Yeah,
• 1:15:01
  that wakeshop. Fortunately just kept ripping my foot, ripping my foot. Shoe
• 1:15:04
  came off everything came off. I was able to my foot and it was
• 1:15:08
  slid right up, came up. I still got a little scar on my
• 1:15:11
  leg. And my buddy Dino Dino, I was with Dino Colombo. He
• 1:15:15
  got me. I got up to the raft and he just grabbed me and
• 1:15:18
  just threw me up like it threw me up. Did you go to the
• 1:15:23
  rest of the raft trip? No? That was it. That was it
• 1:15:26
  stopped it right there. Oh really? Yeah, the boats had to come
• 1:15:28
  get the people out. There was eight of us. Had people get calm.
• 1:15:30
  Yeah, yeah, it was a day. Yeah, it was a
• 1:15:33
  day. Did you take a long water? Uh? No, I didn't.
• 1:15:38
  I was good. I want a funny story about that. Yeah,
• 1:15:41
  I just this. So they gave us our money back because which is very
• 1:15:45
  unusual, because the guide had really misplayed this badly. So they give us
• 1:15:49
  our money back. So we called ourselves the survivors. Okay, So when
• 1:15:54
  we came back, we had a survivor's dinner and we took the money that
• 1:15:58
  was going to go to that and we went and had big dinner. So
• 1:16:01
  on the way back we had money left over. And so these guys go,
• 1:16:06
  like, we got to go to the casino and take the money and
• 1:16:10
  play one hand of blackjack. Put it all in. Okay, go play
• 1:16:15
  one hand of black jack, and we hit and we had another dinner.
• 1:16:19
  Now this is hand. We did it four times, dinner money left over
• 1:16:29
  back to the casino, hit four times on their survivor's trip, got four
• 1:16:32
  dinners. It's almost died, but got four dinners four almost. So like
