0:14
to say. We got, we got, we got a little situation.
0:16

0:20

0:51
episode same shirt have no, no, we haven't. Because something happened in
0:57
our last episode, which is officially five to five nine. Brian Joswiac something
1:03
happened, and I'm gonna tell you what happened, But first let me tell
1:07
you this episode five hundred and sixty of three Guys Before the Game is brought

good times, Go for Go Mart, get that rewards card and save millions
2:08
of dollars by using that card on food and fuel. Give or take a
2:14
dollar there for all your travels. Drinks cold drinks. All right, so
2:21
here's the deal man, here's what happened. You know, if everything always
2:27
just happened. The same old, same old, and this would just become
2:30
the same old, same old show. Right. It's part of the beauty
2:34
of this. There's really no guardrails, there's no rules. We just go,
2:37
Yeah, what are they like? What a cool people say? It's
2:39
a really granular show man like, it just goes in different directions. Man.
2:45
So what happened was we we released our Brian Joswiac episode last week on
2:53
Wednesday last week, and what happened was we hadn't done textual healing since June
3:04
the third, and so our plan was do Brian for a bit, like
3:08
an hour ish whatever it turned out to be, and then going to textual
3:14
healing, which is what we did, right. We did do that right.
3:17
We were boy Scouts, true to our honor. We said, okay,
3:20
Joe's thanks very much. He was fantastic. He takes off and we
3:23
go into textual healing. That was all planned. What we didn't know or
3:30
understand or realize is that textual healing basically became its own show. It went
3:37
really long, had a bunch of them, a bunch of really good ones,
3:39
a month's worth a lot of pictures, really good stuff, covered a
3:43
lot of different ground, tons of stuff, funny stuff, mountaineer connection stuff,
3:47
great pictures, Jerry West stuff. So what happened was the thing went
3:53
by the time we added up the two shows, the jos We Act and
3:55
then the textual healing, it basically was as long as route, maybe longer
4:01
really, so it was like two hours and ten minutes. And so we
4:06
have a very very highly skilled production group that comes in and says, hey,
4:13
Fellas two ten, they might like you, but I don't think they
4:16
want to live with you. And so what we did is, in legal
4:20
terms, we bifurcated the show. Right, our lawyers just got a little
4:27
smirk out there that are listening. We cut it in half. So we
4:30
made Joe's the episode that we released last week, it's own separate show.
4:34
It was good enough as a standalone, really good. And now what we're
4:39
going to do is we're going to do the textual healing part on this show.
4:45
So it's different, it's unique, it's us, it's fun, and
4:49
so we're going to play textual healing in the references that you hear later in
4:56
the show when we start asking ourselves the question, Hey, man, like,
4:59
how how long is this? I gotta go, so you might be
5:02
looking and go. We you guys are only been on for like fifty minutes.
5:04
Actually it was you get that? Does that make all? Does that
5:08
make sense? Think? But I live through it, so I hope you
5:11
made sense there to listeners. Yeah, the numbers eventually will tell us if
5:15
you guys go like, I'm out, So that's it doesn't matter. So
5:17
anyway, long story short, hope you enjoy this episode of three Guys before
5:24
the game, the textual healing version, and our summer series continues. Here's
5:29
the weird thing wild thing, right, so like we're down like the last
5:34
that the most three weeks of textual healing because I'm sorry of summer series because
5:41
like football is running around the counter. So that's that. I hope you've
5:48
enjoyed it. Textual Healing line remains open three or four, four or four
5:51
forty eighty three, three or four, four or four forty eighty three.
5:55
What do you think? If you like the episode, that's great. If
5:59
you don't blame somebody else, maybe by the next time we come on it
6:03
will be the third guy might be back around to you. I wouldn't promise
6:08
that. All right, we're out let's roll our fancy being video textual healing
6:13
three guys before the game. That's right, man, textual healing. We
6:41
have not done this in a month. I went back and I looked at
6:46
the textual healing messages and June three was the last time kind of sort of
6:55
that we did textual healing. Textual healing is brought to us by episode eight
6:58
hundred. Dot com. You check out that Website's got all of our stuff
7:01
there, including our award winning coffee from Mountaineer Roastings called Game Day Grind.
7:08
Check that out. All of our apparel is available there. And uh,
7:14
I think has the anti free has our anti freeze been in there? I
7:18
think we're moving toward winter and a freeze? Is that available on the efforting
7:24
We try to get that on there as as well. And also we are
7:29
well two months away, just a little under two months away from the start
7:32
of football season, gonna do the food court again that start efforting. It's
7:42
still in the efforting stages. This will be the biggest food This will be
7:46
your two of the food court, and we are expanding it. We figured
7:50
out just stop. It's July third. We've got some time to do,
7:54
don't don't over sell it again, right tho. It will be the biggest,
8:00
biggest one yet. Let me just say this. Last year we did
8:01
it on Friday Saturdays. We might do something special for Penn State. That's
8:07
fair. We might do a multiple, multiple day for that. I was
8:13
telling the folks while you were helping Joe's out here. We haven't done this
8:18
in a month actual healing. Is that right? We got another hour and
8:24
a half of the show. Here is a lot stored up. So I
8:28
will say this that not all of the texts that have come in since then
8:33
have been used because a lot of them are like super dated, like talking
8:39
about why did they take this picture out of the baseball game? It's okay
8:41
find that that that that ships that ship has sailed. So we are going
8:48
to get into some of these and there's a product as well. Hey,
8:52
keep this in mind. As I said earlier, it is the travel time
8:56
of the year. Be safe this Fourth of July weekend and and for the
9:00
rest of the summer and when you do travel obviously, Brad, you know
9:03
what, You're going to need fuel at some point. Unless you're one of
9:07
those electric car people. You need snacks too. You need snacks it's a
9:09
great snack time of the year. Great snack time of the year. Visit
9:13
Gomark. Get a rewards card from Gomark, Go to gomar dot com or
9:16
download the app every time you go in. Save money on fuel, save
9:20
money on food. Check them out in some of those days during the week
9:24
they have these triple rewards points. So you go in there on the right
9:30
day and you get triple points. You ready, Frank writes from Clarksburg,
9:37
Three guys A couple of ideas, Tony, when you are talking to a
9:41
guest, there's no need to say this conversation is going to go in multiple
9:46
directions. By definition, three guys goes into multiple directions. Although I was
9:52
impressed that during coach Jen Greene's visit, everything did stay on the rails.
9:56
We're pretty much stayed in course with her well her first appearance. Knew we
10:01
were trying to make a good impression exactly. They didn't want to make us
10:03
seem like we're crazy. By the way, her dad, who she mentioned,
10:09
basketball coach right years in the state of Washington. He sent me a
10:13
book that he wrote about the history of basketball in Washington State. Dude,
10:18
Like, you know, some people say, hey, I wrote a book
10:20
and it's more like a pamphlet. This book is unbelievable. It's like nine
10:26
hundred and ninety nine pages hardbounds, and it's about this book big. It's
10:31
huge. And there's I got to get the pick. There's pictures he did
10:35
everything, boys and girls. A couple of pictures of her when she played.
10:41
Remember she was a top five player in the country, nationally elite.
10:45
She had a vertical like she is like up and they diagrammed an inbounds play
10:50
that they used constantly with her, like lob one up to her, lobbed
10:54
it. She catches it for the time. She catches it like right left
10:58
of the lane, like mid lane, and she is up with it and
11:01
she's like which is also why she became a great volleyball player. I looked
11:05
at the picture. I did some calculations. Her vertical was like about sixty
11:09
two inches give or take. Unconfirmed texter the always a West Virginia connection post
11:18
here. I saw this sign in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Charles Wesley Godwin,
11:24
he's on the marquee there. Hey guys ted from Warrington, Warrington, Virginia,
11:33
also known as the trained guy who has not stopped listening, but I
11:35
haven't texted in a long while. That's good because you thought maybe you'd made
11:39
him mad. It wouldn't be the first light summer football question. Can you
11:43
give me an estimate of how many away venues that you've been to over your
11:48
lifetime? Can you tell us your top three and last? If you could
11:52
pick three that you haven't been to, what would they be? Okay,
12:01
this will make people mad. I've always thought Virginia Tech was just a fantastic
12:05
atmosphere. They rock. I've been to Uh, I've been to Georgia.
12:16
I did Georgia Tennessee for Westwood One Radio. Heath Schuler's first start as a
12:24
freshman as a quarterback. Heinz Ward played at Georgia between the hedges. That
12:31
was a big boy. I did Tennessee, Alabama. It's for real.
12:35
In Knoxville at tennant I did both. I did, Yeah, I did.
12:39
I did in Birmingham once too. Those are and I'm just giving you
12:43
places that we don't normally go to. But I will tell you this,
12:48
and this is totally prejudice. Mountaineer Field is for real. Mountaineer Field is
12:54
for real. Like, don't just think that's just like an institutional. We
12:56
just think it's a good stadium. Mountaineer Field is for real when it gets
13:01
cranked up, as good as as good as there is. You've been to
13:03
more than I have is I haven't traveled much in the last decade. I'll
13:07
give you three. And there must be a theme with me. Didn't realize
13:11
this till I jotted these down. Got a theme. LSU was one.
13:16
They bringing that tiger out and pray that thing around. Abso Colorado it's now
13:22
back in the league. That buffalo running I've told that story before. We
13:24
don't have time to do it, so they I'll tell it later. That
13:26
buffalo running man is does he run or does he just drag people? Yeah,
13:31
he's running. The guys with him are getting drug along there. And
13:35
then Auburn was pretty cool that night, had a big delay. One thing
13:37
with Auburn. We didn't see the eagle fly. Yeah, rounded utering.
13:43
I must like live animal mascots. You do tiger, buffalo, and an
13:46
eagle, although see the eagle. Those three are pretty good. Yeah,
13:50
non confidence type. I've done Colorado back in I'll tell you what I did
13:54
Florida State Miami once and that horse comes on that field. That's that flaming
14:01
spear. That's a for real We saw that at the Gator Bowl as well.
14:05
Yeah, they brought it out there. Yeah, Texter says, I
14:09
just recently made a twenty hour drive with a trailer and three animals from Morgantown
14:15
to Houston. I officially left the state I was born in and raised in,
14:18
and now I have become a Texas resident and I'll be working at NASA
14:22
Johnson Space Center. It's going to be weird not being around a bunch of
14:26
mountaineers. I'm going to have to rely on the occasional West Virginia connection I
14:31
wanted, and I'll be relying on you three clowns. Hoping listening to you
14:37
all will be some medicine to my eventual homesickness. Signed by rocket scientist Josh
14:41
from Houston, Texas, who owns Land in Monnglia County. We wish you
14:46
well. I hope you aspire to one day be that person at the Johnson
14:50
Space Center, another person I always wanted to be at the Johnson Space Center.
14:54
Although I've never had any aspiration to be an astronaut, I did want
14:58
to have the one job at I wanted to be the countdown guy ten nine
15:03
eight seven engines have started. I like that. That was always a good
15:09
one. We have liftoff. That'd be Kutney by the way, A little
15:13
bit slighted by Joswick didn't ask me to be the live auctioneer. Now I
15:16
must have somebody else. He probably doesn't wonder who does that? You think
15:22
he does it? Probably handles it, gentlemen. I was at this past
15:26
weekends Pirates Blue Jays series in Toronto, Tongue Click, sporting my WV Fiesta
15:33
Bowl champion jacket. Of course, I went to order a drink from the
15:35
bartender, who proceeded to look at my jacket and then down at my ID
15:39
before asking you a mountaineer. I replied that I was and was graduating next
15:45
year. He then told me that he was born in moose Jaw, Saskatchewan,
15:48
but I had gone to high school in Belmore, New York with Amos
15:52
Zeroway. He went on to share several stories about famous Amos and his affinity
15:56
for culinary arts even at a young age, and explain that while he hasn't
16:00
yet made it to West by God, Virginia, he cheers for the mountaineers
16:03
because of Amos goes to show that even our neighbors to the north always a
16:07
West Virginia connection. Yeah, Canadians are great people, you know. I
16:12
don't think we take into consideration how lucky we are to have a country that
16:18
we border that has nice people in it. You know that doesn't exist everywhere.
16:22
I mean, do you ever stop and realize that, Brad? I
16:25
mean, here's a lot of countries the border of the countries that hate each
16:26
other. Like, do you know how lucky we are to have Canada?
16:30
It's like, what's up? What's up with you? Well? Good right?
16:36
Glenn from scott Depot here, Brad? You in or out on this
16:41
Mothman root beer? Would you drink mothman root beer? Do you like root
16:45
beer? Would you drink it with that moth Man on it? I got
16:48
a note from the moth man? Excuse me, I got a note by
16:52
mail? Shut up from the moth man? What do you mean by that?
16:56
I got a note to your mailbox at home? Now it came here
17:00
and what did it say? I don't remember. I'll pull it out here
17:03
and been nicely got it was a good or bad? No, it's nice,
17:06
just saying happy West Virginia Day. From him from the Mothman purportedly from
17:11
the moth Man. Okay, hey, two guys, but hopefully three.
17:15
This is Jordan from Houston. I've traveled around the world. I've had many
17:18
always a West Virginia connection experiences, but today for me was close to Zach
17:25
Frasier Baylor game level. Remember Zach got ran up shirt attached as a picture
17:30
of another tourist and I that my family and I met in the DMZ in
17:36
Korea. Where Korea in the DMZ. His son attended WVU and he was
17:44
in shock and started laughing when he saw him pointed at my shirt with the
17:48
old gold flying w Now this is at the DMZ in Korea. The son
17:52
and I then gave each other let's go mountaineers, and I ran back onto
17:56
our tour bus. I also picked up a bag of d m Z black
18:03
bean chocolate picture a task. Look at that DMZ chocolate bar. I got
18:07
chocolate bar from Korea from the community grocery store that I'm going to send to
18:14
you guys when I'm back stateside. It's good stuff. Tony. Please share
18:18
it. Thank you for putting Please share. What was his name? Jordan?
18:25
Was it the DMZ sees another mountaineer. That's a good one. Well
18:27
guess what. That's a first for us on this show. The DMZ chocolate
18:33
has arrived. Did you eat it yet? I didn't open it because I
18:37
wanted to save it for you, because, as you know, I share
18:38
everything that we get. This is stunning that it made. Dude, we
18:41
are about to eat chocolate from Korea called an open Really well, all right,
18:48
buddy, we're eating it just came from Korea. Dude, the DMZ
18:52
DMZs oh, it's got nuts in it, which I do like, where's
18:56
it that beans in it? I don't want to throw it because it could
18:59
waste. We'll just put it out come, I'll walk over. It's black.
19:04
It's black bean chocolate from Korea. I'm saying, based upon its appearance,
19:12
really good. It would be similar to a mister Goodbar. It's got
19:17
the it's got the the height, the look, and the the nuttage of
19:22
a mister goodbar. I'm going I'm going in mister goodbar. Oh hell,
19:30
look at that, dude. They're literally looking side of it. There's literally
19:33
just black beans. I know you said nuts. I thought it was beans.
19:37
I wouldn't normally put the beans with the chocolate. Dude, that doesn't
19:41
sound good. Dude, that's pretty good. That's really good. That's the
19:48
first, the first time I've ever eaten chocolate from Korea with black beans in
19:53
it. It's really good. I would like if I were to buy a
19:59
candy bar, I would go to storm By that. That's probably good.
20:02
The crunch is nice. A lot of crunches because there's nuts and beans,
20:06
is there not? You keep saying nuts. I think it's the beans unless
20:10
the skin comes off the black bean? Does that turned into a nut?
20:15
That was good? Yeah, that's what it is. Who's that from Jordan?
20:18
So black bean is actually a nut? You take the chalk to take
20:22
the black off, it's a bean. Let me tell you something I've been
20:29
around. I know candy that's really good might be hard to get though.
20:33
It might be hard for us to get. Save some of that for your
20:37
girls. Your girls eat it probably. Thank you very much. That was
20:45
awesome, dude, good story too. Jeff from Edwards, California. Hopefully
20:51
this is my last text from California. Is my family and I will be
20:52
relocating to North Carolina soon. It'll be our third move in the past few
20:59
years. So I'm hoping we're there for a while as my daughter will be
21:02
starting her freshman year of high school this fall. However, when you're active
21:06
duty, that's just part of life. I really look forward to being closer
21:10
to home and also excited to be back on the Eastern Standard time. I
21:14
hope my wife and I will be back to make it at least to one
21:17
Mountaineer game, as she's never been to a Mountaineer game. Hmm. I've
21:21
tried to tell her that going to a Mountaineer game is one of a kind
21:23
game to experience and it's really hard to explain. You have to be there.
21:26
She's from Indiana, keeps comparing it going to Purdue games. Anyway.
21:33
One last thing, I really liked those football season and review videos that were
21:37
narrated by Jack Fleming and later by Tony I would like to see those make
21:41
a comeback. Those were fun. They really were fun and for those that
21:48
don't know what we're talking about, like they would recap the whole year and
21:52
Jack and they were written like old school style. Right. It was the
21:59
first day I have September and the sunny skies were riding the Mountaineers as they
22:03
kicked off the nineteen seventy nine season. I don't know why the tenor or
22:07
the intonation back then was like why did we talk like that? And long
22:11
and behold there he was don neil in the first head coach of nineteen eighty.
22:17
So they used to do those whole recaps. But now today because of
22:21
social and because technology, like, they just produced those like two or three
22:26
days later, and that's I guess you could merge all of those. But
22:30
yeah, those were neat. They were neat. Remember the all access one
22:34
that was really it was revolutionary before hard knocks ever became a thing. You
22:38
know who was centrally involved in producing that, Danny Loman. That's a lot
22:45
of work that was way ahead of the game, that was getting microphone access.
22:49
Don Neelon has a great line in that halftime of the Syracuse game of
22:56
that year and he says, hey, around him in the locker room and
23:00
this, yes, great, isn't just what we wanted, just what we
23:04
were looking for. He goes, isn't this a great game? He goes,
23:07
what do you want to do? Go play? Tiddleywinks wvu Hall of
23:17
Fame question our assistant coaches eligible. I was thinking of long time, successful
23:22
assistants like Dave McMichael, Bill leg Heer, Lab Jeff Casteel. Also,
23:26
what about other assistants like Brad Howe wants to put you in as an administrator,
23:30
thank you. No one could sell Coca Cola ads like him, thank
23:34
you. Or Jeff Jenkins, who's gone on from equipment manager to vice president
23:38
of news like him. I love the show. Keep them longer. I
23:41
work out while I'm listening, and when it's over, I go home.
23:44
So longer it's better. I got a request today from my son. Excuse
23:49
me, big Mike. Yeah, he said. He said, hey,
23:55
when's the next three guys? And I said, we're recording this afternoon.
24:00
How was that going to be out? I saidund on like three point thirty
24:03
four o'clock. He goes, okay, I said, why, what's up?
24:06
He says, well, where I take the dog to get groomed now
24:10
is an hour and ten? What away? What? Well? You know
24:15
that he drives his dog an hour ten one way to get groomed. You
24:18
know which dog I'm talking about, the big giant thing, the horse horse.
24:22
Yeah, it's the small horse. Yeah, I don't even know.
24:25
He lets him ride in the car. He just has a horse trailer.
24:27
Yeah, and he brings him in on so he said, he said,
24:30
they move in a major city, he can't get somebody. Well I understand,
24:33
but he said the dog groomer moved. He goes, Now it's an
24:36
hour ten away. Well that's not sustainable. Well that's why I get it.
24:41
But he needed something long, so we took care of him. His
24:47
dog's like a horse. He's a great dog, will Wilson, but he's
24:51
slobbers. They got to keep like a beach towel around just to like get
24:56
the like. Oh no, he's got a two hour commute to get a
25:03
haircut and a bath. We were over there a couple of weeks ago.
25:11
He's got my little guy Luca. All right, he's three, working on
25:17
three and a half, hadn't toured four. We're on the back deck.
25:22
He comes over and like I wasn't paying attention. He comes over. Dog
25:26
was over there on the other side. Luca comes over. My man,
25:30
Luca. He's just got like mucus, just a big ball of mucus,
25:37
just like hanging off of his arm. This is from Wilson the dog.
25:41
Yeah, And Jones says, oh, she said, Wilson got you,
25:45
didn't he And like Luca's coming over like like he was had the arm frozen
25:49
like looking at it like he's got just like this massive like a pound and
25:53
a half of just Wilson mucus on. That's the only problem. He's a
25:57
good dog, but he's got some. Uh, he's got some. What's
26:02
not the only problem. Going an hour in ten one way is a bit
26:04
of an issue. Hey man, It's not like you can bring him to
26:07
Petco. There's a big dog. I gotta have prize by a pittcrew,
26:11
major city. I understand he might have to reassess that. Hey, Tony,
26:19
Senator hanky boy, this is Mississippi Gary with the West Virginia connection.
26:25
I told you before. I grew up across the street from Bill Stewart,
26:29
and I went to school with Jeff Casteele. Well Sunday I went to Old
26:33
Bethel Church in Belmont, Mississippi. I met mister and missus Dale Leslie,
26:38
the mother and father of our defensive coordinator, Jordan Leslie, and we had
26:42
a West Virginia love fest. Let's go him out here. As twenty twenty
26:45
four, we reached the ceiling, not the floor. It's always I mean
26:48
it's a good one. I'll tell you what. Old Bethel Church in Belmont,
26:52
Mississippi. Sounds serious, doesn't it. It's been around for a while.
26:57
You think, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. I just
27:02
think the Old Bethel Church in Belmont, Mississippi. Chances are they don't have
27:07
a worship team. I just think they get down to business right there.
27:10
There's no like, there's no precursor there. They just kind of bring it.
27:17
Texter says, hello, I haven't heard that in a while. He
27:21
said. While you three were back home in Morgantown, Jolie and I met
27:26
the fourth anonymous guy of your podcast at a top secret, undisclosed wooly location.
27:36
You have a better chance of finding the umpires strike zone during Game two
27:40
of the Super Regional than finding this place. During this very important meeting,
27:45
we discussed improvements to the Three guys food court coming in the fall. Hope
27:48
all is well, looking forward to the summer series. Best Brandon and Jolie
27:52
in New York City. There they are awesome. So our guy Dave,
27:56
who we often referred to on this show's actually is real job. He worked
28:03
for a company that does things with a lot of fleeces woollie. Hey,
28:10
three guys, just checking in to tell you that your heated debate on sports
28:14
Line over Joey Chestnut's band is peak radio. Please put Do you tune in
28:19
to watch someone throw a hot dog down at the buzzard on your next T
28:22
shirt? PS. I'm not going to say I told you so, but
28:26
I texted you on the thirtieth of July of last year to tell you that
28:33
the Big twelve was changing its name. See the attached photo if it comes
28:37
through. We got bad cell service in Pennsborough or scroll up. So if
28:41
you do read that text, which you can if you're watching it, Basically
28:44
he did say, I guarantee you the Big twelve will sell the name of
28:48
the league that's signed by Pete and Pennsborough. What are your thoughts about the
28:56
All State twelve conference name? What's the best worst sponsor? Marcus from Charlotte
29:00
formally from Preston County. I don't know, man, Brad doesn't have a
29:08
problem with it. My deal on these conference names is that I don't have
29:14
a problem with it if it sounds cool, but you're not going to be
29:18
able to hit cool all the time. I think some of them are gonna
29:19
just stud like it's gonna sound weird. No, My issue with it was,
29:22
I remember I sold that kind of stuff, so it'd be disingenuous to
29:26
me to say I'm not in favor of that stuff. But the three million
29:30
or two point seven per school seemed a little light. Seemed a little light.
29:33
The flip side is if they're giving you a quote free money, take
29:37
it. The Big twelve name is certainly outdated given the sixteen teams. It's
29:41
weird. So of all the things going on, it's one of those there's
29:45
almost change fatigue. I think that sets in. You know, if this
29:49
had been one of those things where there's not much change and you're trying to
29:52
change this, I think there'd be a lot of outcry. I think now
29:53
there's just so much change and the things reinventing itself. It's just like,
29:57
okay, man, you want to change the name of the league. Change
29:59
the name league. They'll get some extra money. Fine, you're right.
30:02
And we chatted about this either on the air, we chatted about this off
30:04
the earth yesterday. Because there's sons such change that's going on and is about
30:11
to go on. I think administrators and even conferences that have been holding back
30:18
of doing things that they wanted to do in fear of getting a lot of
30:22
pushback. I think you're going to see a lot of things now get whacked
30:26
and changed, and they're just going to shrug their shoulders and go like,
30:30
hey man, we have to find a way to produce this money to revenue
30:34
share, so like, sorry, but we're not doing this anymore. Where
30:37
in the past you would get absolutely attacked on, now it's going to be
30:42
hey man, we got to do it. Think about this, those in
30:45
our industry that do what we do in June and July. Yeah, had
30:49
this come up ten years ago, a name changed to a conference that it
30:52
would have been the top story and chewed up how many hours of network time
30:56
all across the country, big station, small stations, all kind he needs
31:00
stuff talk about right? This was really I was a little bit surprised at
31:03
the shoulders shrugged collectively for everybody on this. I didn't hear a lot of
31:07
people screaming and honor about this. It's like, okay, whatever, I
31:10
want to take the mind. Take the mind, change the name, change
31:11
the name. Yeah, I think that's where we're about to go. John,
31:14
That's what we're gonna do. This is Jerry west Text. I was
31:18
a freshman at West Virginia. Jerry was a senior. I met him once
31:19
through another player, Jim Ritchie. I was impressed by how humble and respectful
31:23
he was for all of his extraordinary achievements. My favorite memory was this nineteen
31:30
sixty West Virginia host Villanova matchup of top top ten teams at the Fieldhouse.
31:33
At that time, West Virginia sports were not integrated, nor were any of
31:37
the other schools in the Southern Conference. The old field House packed to the
31:41
rafters fever pitch, especially after the unfortunate customary playing of Dixie by the West
31:48
Virginia pep band. Villanova's star player was Hube White, an African American sophomore
31:53
who was playing in about his eighth college game. When they lined up for
31:57
the opening tip, Jerry and Hubie were on the opposite sides of the center
32:01
jump circle. Without making a big spectacle of it, Jerry walked around to
32:07
the other side of the circle to shake hands with Hubie and then resumed his
32:12
position so that the game could begin with the opening tip. That moment told
32:16
me all I needed to know about what kind of a person. Number forty
32:20
four was signed by Max from Missouri. That's a great story. It's a
32:23
great story, and you forget about it, right because even though that was
32:30
sixty four years ago, it's still to me just blows my mind that that
32:37
was in existence back then. Like I was born in sixty two, so
32:45
like it was just starting to wind to a degree wind down. So I
32:50
never knew of the separation that existed because it was just starting to end.
32:54
But when I look at it and know that it was only sixty that was
33:00
still in existence, blows my mind. Yeah, that was a good story.
33:05
Texter. I read a few weeks ago that the Big twelve is wanting
33:08
to introduce Hollywood NBA seats on the floor. I'm not a big NBA guy,
33:14
so I'm really not sure what that means. How exactly would that affect
33:21
the seating at the coliseum. Are they going to kick you out of your
33:22
spot? Tony Adam and Bridgeport, Well, I got a gazillion thoughts on
33:31
that, and it goes back to what we would just said. I think
33:36
everything's off the table. I think anything can happen now, and I think
33:45
anything can happen. Do I absolutely detest and hate the potential that radio could
33:52
get moved. Yes, because I think in basketball being that close is important
34:02
to the broadcast because so much is happening right then and there that you gain
34:09
being that close to it. It would impact the quality of the broadcast.
34:15
So for that, I hate it and I hope it doesn't happen here,
34:20
but at other places it will. Sandy and I met Jerry West in two
34:25
thousand and nine when he and his teammates returned to Morgantown for their fiftieth anniversary.
34:30
Before the game, former Dean Bill Douglass took us on a tour of
34:34
the then new Erickson Center. As we're getting ready to leave, he informed
34:37
us that the team would be returning soon from a tour of campus for dinner.
34:42
We were a two person greeting committee decked out in our finest mountain near
34:45
garb. As the team got off the bus, Sandy and I greeted them
34:49
as they returned to Morgantown, and each one of them was very happy.
34:52
They said to be home. Karen and Jerry West were the last two off
34:55
the bus. I greeted him with, Hey, aren't you Johnny West?
35:00
Father? I was rewarded with that legendary Jerry West grin. This picture will
35:06
always occupy a prized spot in our West Virginia room. Signed by John S
35:10
Marshall, Saint Clairsville, Ohio. Always good to hear from John s Marshall.
35:15
Absolutely three guys. Philip from Philippy. I wanted to share a quick
35:21
Jerry West story. As a boy, I grew up in East Bank.
35:22
One day a friend of mine and myself were shooting some basketball outside the junior
35:27
high school. A strange man wrote up and all but ran out at us
35:31
and ran right toward him. He asked, is this where Jerry West played
35:36
his high school basketball? To us, this was the junior high We laughed
35:39
and we said no. He then said to us and reminded us that that
35:43
used to be the high school. Right. We acknowledged that he was correct.
35:46
He begged us to let us make one basket outside of Jerry's high school
35:51
gym. It took a while. On a side note, that day,
35:54
I went home and I asked my dad about Jerry West, and I read
35:58
about him in the encyclopedia. Younger viewers are like that. Also, successfully
36:02
he got my son to move his wedding time forward who lets their fiance plan
36:07
a wedding at the same time as the pit game. I will be starting
36:10
at one and then before three point thirty. I raised him right, Texter,
36:17
I wanted to drop and though this goes back to baseball, I wanted
36:20
to drop him out and note how much fun I have with the twenty four
36:22
baseball team. I followed every game I could on ESPN Plus from Northern Kentucky,
36:27
then made it to Chapel Hill for the Super Regional. My ten year
36:30
old and I booked flights, tickets, hotel rental car had a fantastic time
36:34
in North Carolina. The boys battled their behinds off and showed they can compete
36:37
with anyone. Thank you, Coach Mazie for rebuilding the program into a top
36:42
twenty five program. I look forward to seeing what SABS can do to elevate
36:45
the program even further. I continue to invest financially and emotionally going forward.
36:50
I'm still praying for a Natty sometime in my lifetime. Me and my boy
36:53
prior to game number one. I don't know if we have that picture.
36:55
Thanks for keeping me in the mountain near loop so far. Signed and Ryan
37:00
P. Seven listener from Covington, Kentucky. I'm sorry, don't have that
37:05
picture. I apologize, but thank you. Ryan. Hey three guys listening
37:10
to your episode with the legendary Oliver Straw, I too, am an ice
37:15
cube in my coffee. Guy, I'm an outcast in my own home.
37:19
Because of that, I don't care. I don't have time to wait around
37:22
for it to be drinkable. Thanks for that's for suckers and retirees. Now
37:28
you're taking shots at people to drink hot coffee. My wife puts all this
37:31
schmutz in hers like the rest of you clowns. My question for you is,
37:37
oh you like coffee? Is that right? Why do you need the
37:42
rest of the dairy section poured into it? West Guy's take it. Some
37:45
serious body blows here at coffee people. The senator's coffee order sounds like the
37:51
way Buddy the Elf takes it. The aggression toward us cubers will not stand.
37:59
Man of the show. Signed by Pete and Pennsboro. You know what
38:02
I would say to Pete since I was directly called out in this Yeah,
38:06
go back to line four of this text. What's that line for? Say?
38:12
Line four would be I don't care. Don't care. Yeah, that's
38:15
how much I care about what you think about my coffee order. Zero should
38:19
all cap that thing. But thanks for the text. Speaking of coffee orders,
38:23
had Rusty over in my house yesterday. What ron house Rusty who owns
38:30
Mountaineer Roasting Rusty. He's got a shop. Normally you go see him at
38:34
the coffee shop. He came to my house. Reason well, got this
38:37
new expressover machine, and he offered generously to come over and what they called
38:44
dial it in, offered generously. You brought it up. He wouldn't have
38:46
known you had an espresso machine. He had. You had to have told
38:50
him that you bought a new machine. Yeah I did. Yeah, I
38:52
said, you think you might be able to pop over there and dialelievable.
38:58
But it was a good deal for him. How was a good deal from
39:00
him? He needs you to go to the shop to buy the coffee.
39:02
I made him a little for bread. He walked into the house moments after
39:07
I had taken it out of the oven for him. He dialed it in.
39:10
I'm using his coffee, which you can buy on episode eight hundred dot
39:15
com. I use it. He did a fantastic joke he got it right.
39:20
So you get any tricks. Yeah, he did a lot of tricks.
39:22
You should see me froth milk. But you gotta put your You gotta
39:27
put just enough when you start that thing. Just enough air needs to get
39:30
into that frothy I'll tell you what. I can make whatever you want.
39:34
Can you do the design yet? Did he show you how to do a
39:36
design? I'm not gonna say that. I was an artist. Done.
39:38
He did a nice little He did a flour for me when he made some
39:40
Oh he can do that, well? Sure he kenn He olded aim mountain
39:44
here roasting, I know, but that thing's gotten so big over there.
39:45
I didn't know if he still had the ability there, if he'd lost his
39:49
handle on so many other things. He pulls shots like the rest of them.
39:52
He pulls shots. How's our coffee doing? Jasking? Well? It
39:55
really will? Yeah? People love it. Yeah. By the way,
39:59
Pete from Pennsburg it's not his real name, and I love his text.
40:01
He's really creative and funny. It's not even Pete. He doesn't even live
40:06
in Pennsborough. He works at you, not at bank. I know who
40:10
you are, Pete, fake Pete. Gentlemen just finish my workout. I'm
40:15
waiting for my wife to finish her class. Listening to the podcast with Oliver
40:19
Straw wanted to say, what a delightful young man he genuinely gets West Virginia.
40:23
In West Virginia, I can't wait to putting a slice of ham on
40:27
my next chicken palm. So glad Tony mended fences with the folks down under
40:31
Dink from Bridgeport on that we did have a wonderful visit with Olive. We
40:36
got to get him back. He's definitely going to be a repeat guy.
40:39
I think the other important thing coming out of that you should let the listen
40:43
onience. Now we're close. We've made Baron is well aware. Now the
40:46
baron is well aware of this podcast. Yeah he he wrote to Oliver after
40:53
we talked about the Baron. He wrote to him. So close to getting
40:59
close. They're doing Australian episode live on site barn. Listen, dude,
41:04
if you know anyone that could make that happen, Like, do you go
41:07
to like the Melbourne Tourism Commission and say, look, I got a couple
41:12
of bloats? Is that what they call us? A couple of bloats?
41:15
Over? I bloats, blokes whatever over in the States. That will really
41:22
help generate commerce and tourism to the continent of Australia. And I need to
41:25
bring them over. Maybe have a couple of tickets. Uh no to economy,
41:34
it's minimum premium premium. I need business class. I'm not flying over
41:40
there. It's got to be business texter. Hey, three guys before the
41:46
game? Are we using pond back up? Read how it's written? Oh?
41:52
Hey, try guys, before the game? Are we using pondtoon?
41:55
And try tune properly? Why isn't a dual tune? And try tune.
42:00
As a customer and an occupant of Lou Wendell's International port Dtoon, I felt
42:07
we should feel we should clarify the language. I love the show. Come
42:10
host one from the Lou Wendell National Doc Convention Center, sometime signed by Matt
42:15
in Nitrol areas too nice? Look at that nice? And there it is,
42:21
ladies and gentlemen, folks, a golden gate bridge. Yeah, I
42:24
don't will have to get that, and then we're we're all for going down
42:29
thereon having a big time gentlemen. I saw this in traffic today. I
42:35
wondered if This was one of Brad's relatives Iowa Plate. I love Mothman on
42:43
the bumper stick. As an Also an unrelated note, I attended the Southern
42:49
Baptist Convention in Indianapolis. I wore my flying West Virginia polo and I had
42:53
several interactions with West Virginians now living all over the country, as well as
42:58
a few folks who just come and on the flying WV. My favorite interaction
43:02
was with the representatives at the Dallas Baptist University booth. I'll let you guess
43:07
why. Signed by Evan in Iowa. So we we knocked off those Dallas
43:13
Baptisters, didn't we did? In the NCAA turn absolutely. Hello, three
43:19
guys, now that we're into the summer series, can we get some behind
43:22
the scenes stories that you know but most of mountaineer Nation doesn't, Things like
43:27
who are the most freakish athletes you ever saw? Who was the strongest,
43:30
who was the biggest prankster, and who was the biggest troublemaker in a good
43:32
way? Pick a category for each episode and tell your stories. I think
43:38
we'll do that in the future. Can't do it today. Joe's was one
43:45
of them. Brian who we had early. He was one of the most
43:46
colorful guys as you could tell of all time. We could have gone three
43:52
hours with just I'd have to have him back. Yeah, what I want
43:54
to know this Texter says, And this is JD from the Southern Coalfields,
43:59
who's also good. Dude, he's really good. Why this is what he
44:05
wants to know more than anything. Why Pat White was not named the starting
44:10
quarterback at the beginning of the five season. Prior to the Lewisville game,
44:16
things were looking bleak. Then Pat comes in late during that game. In
44:21
the next four years of Mountaineer football were as good as ever. How did
44:27
Rich Rodriguez not realize that Pat was the person that should be the starting quarterback?
44:32
How does one of the greatest players in WVU football history not be named
44:37
the starting quarterback at the beginning of the season. There has got to be
44:43
a story there and I would love to hear it. Thank you very much,
44:45
JD from the Southern Coalfields. So fair questions, good questions, just
44:57
some random thoughts, random thoughts, some to the pro of this, some
45:02
to theft. So if you ever ask, like why wasn't he the starting
45:07
quarterback? So the simple answer is going to be that Rich and the staff
45:13
didn't think that he was ready. One. Two, Rich and the staff
45:19
would say, he gives us at that time, Adam Beanerik gives us the
45:23
best chance to win right now. Three would be they didn't completely trust him
45:30
enough that he knew enough of the plays that they could feel comfortable in running.
45:37
But they knew enough to know to get him in the games because he
45:38
was It wasn't like Beneric was just the straight starter correct. They were both
45:43
playing. So those are three things. The other thing is I forget who
45:47
it was that we had in here, but they said players always know in
45:52
the locker room before the coaches do. I can't remember who that was,
45:55
but it was a pearl of wisdom, and they knew that it was Pat.
46:00
That was one. The second part of that. Dan Lowman, who's
46:05
getting his second mentioned on the podcast here today. So Dan works with us
46:09
here, Emmy award winning video producer. Back then, in another era,
46:15
which was nineteen years ago, he shot practice and this is before drones and
46:22
before technology his job. At one time, Rich had an idea, I'd
46:28
love to be able to get a video look of what the quarterback is seen
46:32
when he's out there. So Danny, who is very athletic, right,
46:37
Hall of Fame, crossed the bridge over there for sport athlete at Morgantown High.
46:43
Hall of Famer at Morgantown High, won a national champ won a World's
46:45
championship at Bethany. Right. So Danny's job was this. He would take
46:51
a handheld camera, which was a big thing back then to even have him
46:54
small enough. He would lift it above his head. He would stay about
47:00
eight yards behind the quarterback and then wherever the play went, he would run
47:07
with the camera elevated like this, and then they would take that video and
47:12
say, Okay, what the hell's he looking at when he's running, Like
47:14
is he seeing is he not seeing it? So anyway, so Danny was
47:16
at every practice. Danny shot everything, and he would come back to me
47:21
and go like, dude, I've told this story one hundred times, maybe
47:24
sixty two times. He would say, Dude, the Pat White kid,
47:30
I go, yeah, he goes. Now, I'm not saying I'm not
47:35
saying he's major Harris, but I'm saying he's special and he's got major esque
47:45
things in him. So my reply would be, ah, come on,
47:52
stop, he goes. I'm not saying he is. I'm just saying he's
47:58
he does some stuff that's like whoa I said. I probably said at that
48:02
time, well if he was better, that he'd be playing. I don't
48:08
think to answer your question, JD, that they was like anything like sinister,
48:15
you know, like, hey, we're not going to play the kid.
48:16
It's just like it's coaches and football coaches are weird, like they're more
48:21
conservative than they are, right, yes, and so they want to cover
48:23
their back. So if they feel like, hey, he can run but
48:28
never can run thirteen plays and Pat can only run four plays, we're gonna
48:31
run the guy that runs that miss. Just mix it in, make sure
48:35
it's good. Right. Eventually got there, Yeah, eventually got where he
48:37
needed. Text her from Saint albans I received a very excited call from my
48:44
daughter jac this morning letting me know that one of her professors over here at
48:50
the college had told her to send a resume to Dave regarding a possible internship
48:57
to work on some design for a pod cast called three Guys Before the Game.
49:01
She knows I'm a faithful listener, and she couldn't wait to tell me
49:05
she is a fashion and design senior and an internship is part of their graduation
49:09
requirement. Whether it works out or not for her, I think it is
49:13
amazing that you guys are giving students these types of opportunities. Thanks for all
49:17
that you do and always for keeping me entertained. Signed by Craig in Saint
49:22
Albans. Yes, we do use WVU students. We've had some great success
49:30
with the work that wvu's students have done, whether it be fashion design.
49:36
Now we're talking with the folks in the business school. We're thrilled about any
49:40
kind of an opportunity or partnership that obviously gives a kid an opportunity to get
49:46
something under their resume or portfolio that works for them, and then obviously we
49:52
get the help as well. So we're all for that. And it doesn't
49:57
necessarily even have to be a WVU student. I mean, if you're out
50:00
there and you know a kid that's special that could do some stuff for us
50:05
remotely, just text us what's the text line? Three zero four? Is
50:14
that what this one is? No? Three zero four four It was our
50:16
tech eight Austin put the the graphic up of three O four four or four
50:22
forty eighty three three h four four h four forty eighty three. If you've
50:25
got someone that you think is like super special, it could help us.
50:29
Let's know, three guys. I've lived in the western end of Montagalla County
50:32
my entire life, but I'm in Morgantown for some reason almost every other day.
50:38
So I would think if I were going to run into one of you
50:40
guys, that's where it was going to be. But I was boarding a
50:45
flight in Key West, Florida. I head into Pittsburgh, and I noticed
50:50
a gentleman on the plane with a West Virginia Polo shirt on, and the
50:52
more I pay attention, I see that it's none other than Tony. Last
50:58
place I would expect him. After the flight, we landed in Pittsburgh and
51:04
I commented, wait a second, wait a second time out. After the
51:08
flight we landed in Pittsburgh, I told my wife we should have gotten our
51:12
picture made. I love the summer series. Keep up the good work.
51:15
Signed by Derek and Blacksville. Derek talk with him there on that flight,
51:20
Yeah, how was that good? It was great? I saw. I'm
51:22
trying to think was he wearing a Western I don't know if he was wearing
51:25
West Virginia gear. Or it was good. It was good emergency exit row.
51:30
So I had occasion to travel here recently as well. Yeah, it
51:32
was in an airport. Myself made sure to wear a flying WV West Virginia
51:37
shirt as I was traveling. Sure lo and behold at our gate as well.
51:43
I was out west out West. Had a gentleman, say, West
51:49
Virginia guy west Morgantown, his son getting ready to be a freshman here at
51:53
the college. Yeah, this was the Kellihert family. Noah son, big
51:59
sports guy, played football in high school, big sports guy getting ready to
52:01
enter engineering here mechanical engineering. Had a wonderful talk with them as we were
52:06
waiting for our plane. It was delayed a couple of times. It helped
52:08
pass the time. But Noah Kella her they live here in state. They're
52:12
from Altuna up there in PA. Sure, Noah's going to be an incoming
52:16
freshman. Though this fall and the Dead watches a show or no no no
52:21
is our latest subscriber. Though Noa's on board now no is in. It
52:23
was just a flying WV that caught their attention. Noah was excited. He
52:27
was already representing Western. You had a Western, you had on He'll be
52:30
down here. So he's excited for the Penn State game. I was going
52:32
to say, so he's not going to be cheering for Penn State as a
52:35
Penn State family. Oh they are. He has already switched allegiances. He's
52:39
ready to roll. Yeah. A lot of a lot of them, A
52:42
lot of them people up there in nol Tuoner Penn State people enjoyed to the
52:46
one other one TSA guy huh ts G. Had a wonderful experience with TSA
52:52
security. TSA. Sometimes they get a wrap. Westburg, it was out
52:55
West Major Hubb out West, getting ready to walk through. You you want
52:59
to time through. Gentleman sees my shirt and says, hey, says,
53:02
I'm not from West Virginia, but I went to Fairmont State. Get out.
53:05
He said, come on through. He just gave it his come on
53:07
through, keep your shoes on, keep your belt on. It's good.
53:12
So I had a slow start to my trip. In fact, I commented
53:15
to my wife, I'm surprised no one said anything here. I'd a had
53:17
on. Most of the time. We closed hard, Yeah, closed hard,
53:21
five or six different interactions. Here's a good interaction. I was traveling
53:25
for work. Texter says, through Atlanta. That's a big airport, and
53:30
I saw a dad holding his kids and his arms were full. I was
53:35
about to say, God, bless you man. Well that dad was Jordan
53:39
Leslie. I walked with Coach Leslie and his enthusiastic children. We talked all
53:45
things West Virginia, including the Three Guys podcast. Man for a lonely mountaineer
53:50
in Utah. I could have not been happier. Mountaineer Nation feels a lot
53:52
like mountaineer family. I don't care what conference we're in. Let's keep this
53:55
thing going. So that's Yogi. Chris Sure Salt Lake City. He's there
54:00
with Coach Leslie and the kids. So a couple of things, a couple
54:05
Leslie mentions on the on the podcast, I say, they get around.
54:07
You got mom and dad down there at that church, and I don't think
54:09
they have a worship man at that church. I think it's old Testament.
54:13
It just goes. And then Jordan and I'm so happy that we rectified that
54:20
chili situation. Yes, after that chili got spoiled because it was they want
54:24
to make that again. I'm happy to receive that at any moment. That
54:27
was excellent. Well, now that I'm back into bread production, Leslie's gonna
54:30
be getting some bread. I opened the two loaves and maybe get some chili
54:35
back on it. I opened up the bread store last weekend and we went
54:37
hard. I made eight loaves last Sunday, eight loaves. Well, get
54:42
get the Leslie some so we can get some more chili. So yeah,
54:45
thrilled about that. But how about Yogi, Chris and Salt Lake. Now
54:47
that West Virginia is in the same league as Utah Conference, can they just
54:52
announced last week Delta's got a direct flight Pittsburgh to Salt Lake? Was that
54:57
right? Direct? Conference affiliation goes has a lot of tentacles. I'll tell
55:04
you what. There's a there's that Italian restaurant there in Salt Lake, Voltaire's
55:07
VA L T E R S. I would fly direct from I would have
55:10
left, fly from Pittsburgh to Salt Lake just to eat at that restaurant.
55:15
Turn around, just come back. I have a friend out there this week.
55:19
Send me a picture of reconnizance from the Utah Stadium. They were inside
55:22
the stadium. Oh, really beautiful setting. Those are gonna be good road
55:27
trips playing at BYU and at Utah Pie. I think fans like that earlier
55:30
in the falls better than late. Texter says, I ran into Reren Baker's
55:37
wife's uncle at Disney World. He saw my West Virginia hat and said hello,
55:44
very nice gentleman. He said, if I see him, show him
55:46
this picture. You probably will see him before I do. Tell him.
55:50
Bob and Holly said, Oho, So he's there in Disney and he sees
55:53
Wren's so that'd be Heathers. Heather's uncle. He's at Disney. It's Periopolis.
56:00
Phil all right, Texter, question which episode contains the most recent visit
56:08
by Sean McDonough. Sean's never appeared on Three Guys. We've had him on
56:14
sports Line. Yes, I am going to know that the NHL Stanley Cup's
56:17
over. I'm going to reach out to Sean and see if he'll come on
56:21
Three Guys. That'd be great. But can we can we do it?
56:29
He was your roommate. No, can we do it without me going into
56:32
his imitation? Well, what we can't do is John, I can't get
56:36
through the full episode without shortling coffee with him. That one day at the
56:42
hotel. It was hard to sit right next to you, wonderful young man
56:47
watching You know you do an imitation of him. I don't think you do
56:51
it that day. I don't think he does. He knows, he knows
56:52
a good sense of humor. He'd handle that. Oh, yeah, he
56:54
knows. Jason Bennetti does. Yes, Bennette's got a Bennetty sounds like him
56:59
just in general. Yeah, he does. I think Bennetti's got a battle
57:02
not sounding too much like Sean when he's doing games, don't you think.
57:07
And now Bennetti's doing the Tigers. It takes me a man to figure out
57:09
which one of them is doing. Yeah, because both excellent, both as
57:12
good as there are. So because they add their bio notes about the player
57:15
that they're talking about parenthetically, so they'll goes like Brad Howe, former standout
57:22
player at Wartburg College in Iowa, Iowa, a wonderful state, produce as
57:28
much corn. Here's the two to two pitch. It's high. That's how
57:31
they do it. Same thing with McDonough right, and he races, he
57:36
races behind the goal. Speaking of goals, he was a three time medal
57:40
winner. You keep looking at your watch. This is way too long,
57:44
isn't it. I'm sorry, let me just go. It's really long.
57:46
Let me go real quick. Watching a video about disc golf in Europe.
57:50
I pause the video is there's this lady talking about disc golf in Croatia.
57:55
Look at her. Look at her shirt. Does anyone know what the heck
57:59
this shirt's for. He's got a fly, he's got the state of West
58:00
Virginia. She's in Croatia talking about disc golf. What are we doing?
58:06

59:43
PS. Can I get a beard oil recommendation from the senator? Do you
59:47
use beard oil? I have an oil and a it's almost like more like
59:52
a gel. Now, what's that do this, softens it up, helps
59:55
maintain. If you got some flyaways as it gets too long. You get
59:59
that from Rex. No, Rex does not sell that. Rex does not
1:00:04
sell that. We do talk beard maintenance every once in a while over there,
1:00:07
but try and keep stuff in there to get it. Rex knows about
1:00:09
beards even though he doesn't have one. Yeah, Rex knows about beards.
1:00:12
So that guy next to him has beard. Seth, Hey, Goud's got
1:00:15
a beard like I've got stubble. Seth has a beard. Yeah, Seth
1:00:20

1:00:22
because those brewers a lot of beer guys. Hey, I'd like to
1:00:24
get some link like Seth. I can't get there. It starts like I
1:00:28
can't handle it. Last text and what a dandy Charlie from mid Lothian Tony.
1:00:35
I just achieved perfection in the Kroger fuel Points gamification saga. I filled
1:00:42
up three vehicles using the maximum thirty five gallons, and I paid a total.
1:00:46
Look at this brad, Yeah, he filled up three cars for thirty
1:00:51
two cents. Excuse me me, thirty five gallons? Look at look look
1:00:53
at this? Look at that dude, Look thirty two cents and thirty five
1:00:59
gallons hoppy, that works out to point zero zero nine cents a gallon.
1:01:04
That's a rap on the Kroger fuel points gamification. Thanks to Professor Vinnie for
1:01:07
the inspiration. Dude, this is entering into This may be the longest one
1:01:16
