00:00Governor of West Virginia's name is what? Patrick Morrissey.
00:04Morrissey.
00:04Okay.
00:05Yeah, we discussed this yesterday.
00:07Have you heard it though?
00:08I saw it.
00:09All right, here is West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey talking about a basketball tournament.
00:16Six quad one wins and that was combined with an undefeated record against quad three and quad
00:24four opponents.
00:26Three wins against top 10 teams and the 24th toughest schedule in America.
00:33West Virginia deserved to be in the NCAA tournament.
00:38This was a miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest levels.
00:43Now, who was the last team to get into the tournament?
00:46Ahead of the Mountaineers.
00:48That would be the University of North Carolina.
00:51Now, let's see how their resume stacks up.
00:54The Tar Heels went one and 12 in quad one games and even had a quad three loss.
01:02And we keep hearing about the importance of these quad one wins,
01:06but UNC couldn't even get six quad one wins.
01:15I mean, I preferred when he got into the miscarriage of justice and all these really
01:22kind of egregious terms.
01:25The governor ain't wrong.
01:27Okay, West Virginia had a better body of work to get in the tournament than Carolina.
01:31But Carolina took Duke to the wire, who is considered a one seed in the ACC tournament.
01:36Carolina might have won that game.
01:38His kid didn't have a lane violation.
01:39Oh, by the way, they're Carolina.
01:41Oh, by the way, you're the governor.
01:43Go govern.
01:45Yeah, but I think when you start looking at it, they are playing in a rivalry game.
01:50So normally you could just throw all that, all the picking them to the wire stuff out the way.
01:56It's not like a typical game.
01:58On top of it, they did not have the quality wins.
02:01And then when you look at the fact that the guy is from one of the guys on the committee
02:05is from North Carolina, that kind of just throws little things.
02:08And so he claims he after the fact, he said, well, you know, I took myself off of that.
02:15You believe it?
02:16Hell no.
02:17He probably discussed it by pushing him in.
02:19Then he decided to back off after he influenced the, you know, like you do.
02:23Sometimes you try to lead the witness, you know, they did exactly that.
02:29So I understand the governor's part, but I agree with you totally.
02:33It's not your damn job, dude.
02:36And the tournament is going to go on.
02:38So stop, stop worrying about it.
02:39Part of me loves that the governor of the state is that invested in the state college sports,
02:47right?
02:48Like in West Virginia, I know what those Mountaineers mean.
02:50I get it.
02:51It's wild and wonderful.
02:53I just, Ryan Russo has this bit that I think is really good where have you ever noticed
03:00how everything always becomes the most important thing ever?
03:06Like if we're just in this constant state of, this is the most important election ever.
03:11This is the most important winter storm ever.
03:12This is the most important drought ever.
03:15This is the most important.
03:17But that's that's what we've become in this country, right?
03:21And I just think we put everything up there off that.
03:25Why do you think I have the attitude?
03:26I have, I really don't give a damn about much because this way I have been through eight
03:32snow storms.
03:33That's going to be the last one.
03:35And I refuse to go to the store.
03:38They ran out of everything and I was able to go to the store after the snow storm happened
03:44a day or two.
03:44I'm at the store and then all of a sudden now, guess what?
03:48There's a truck bringing new stuff in the back.
03:51What happened to the fact that we're going to be stuck in the house all these times?
