Each week, your host, w. G bunch and his guests share memories and stories about the past, the present and the future of the Huntington tri state area. Sets Huntington, West Virginia, Ashland, Kentucky, and in the Chesapeake and proctorville, Ohio area. If you used to live here or you currently live here, you're going to catch yourself saying out loud, wow, I remember that now. Here's WG.
>> Vanessa: So tell me again, you seem to be the one who discovered the genius, right? You were the one that found this.
>> W.G.: I don't know if I.
>> Vanessa: So what was it that made you realize he was just so insanely genius? We all saw it. Right. So what was the spark you saw in Houston that made you know.
>> Speaker D: Well, there's no one like him. I just saw the energy level, really, which we all know he still has it. At 55 years old, this guy looks like he's 22 years old. This guy's, like, insanely energetic. Uh, he's just down the pop tarts and the pop rocks.
>> W.G.: Thank you.
>> Speaker D: The pop rocks. But, yeah, I just really feel that he missed his calling. He should have been a radio morning, uh, zoo co host, and he should have moved to La once he left Houston, uh, to move back to take over his father's real estate business. I just wish he would have maybe pursued the other part of his happiness, and that is his joy of entertainment. And if he just would have been to Los Angeles, I think he could have been a superstar.
>> Vanessa: Well, I have to tell you, we would disagree here in Huntington tri state area, because then we wouldn't have had him. So, uh, while it would have been great to see him be a mega.
>> Speaker D: Superstar, which we could say you guys knew him. Yeah, you could say, whoa, I went to high school.
>> Vanessa: Hey, I know this guy. So he was our.
>> Speaker D: Hey, I know. Is it Peter Marshall from huntington, West Virginia? Possibly, yeah, he is Peter marshall. You know, hollywood squares.
>> W.G.: I met Peter Marshall.
>> Vanessa: Or.
>> Vanessa: Ahead, I was going to say.
>> Vanessa: I have a question for you.
>> W.G.: Okay, go ahead.
>> Vanessa: Um, if you need to describe WG in three to five words, how would you describe him?
>> Vanessa: That's hard.
>> Speaker D: Wow. Three to five words.
>> Vanessa: Three to five words.
>> Speaker D: Three to five.
>> Vanessa: If you were talking to a stranger and you needed to let, uh, them know what WG, what that energy was.
>> Speaker D: I would say fun, energy and love.
>> Vanessa: Will we all agree on that one, my friend? Thank you so you.
>> W.G.: Thank you.
>> Speaker D: God bless WG.
>> Vanessa: Bless you and God bless WG. Bunch.
>> Vanessa: Thank you, Wyatt.
>> Vanessa: Thank you, Wyatt. Uh, we appreciate you sharing your time and your stories with us. Thank you, friend.
Do you remember this particular moment from Huntington tristate time machine
All right, so, Vanessa. Uh, Wyatt, 1 second. Hold on.
>> Speaker D: You got to hear this before you leave.
>> Vanessa: Listen, so in case I don't know how many episodes you caught, Wyatt, um, of the Huntington tristate time machine. But, uh, here's another fantastic moment. Do you remember this, Vanessa? You and WG? I think it might be the third or fourth episode. Uh, do you remember this particular moment?
>> Vanessa: I do. Oh, my gosh. Let's share it with everyone at home.
>> Vanessa: Absolutely. Here we go. And roll a 270.
>> W.G.: We're at the pool in the summer, your favorite flavor of popsicle.
>> Vanessa: Fruit m punch or cherry?
>> W.G.: Fruit punch, whatever. The red was the red one.
>> Vanessa: As long as it wasn't strawberry.
>> Vanessa: I don't like strawberry.
>> W.G.: Well, how do you know the difference if it's red?
>> Vanessa: Like, it's the luck of it? Because they'll ask you what color, especially at dreamland. What color do you want? And that's what you tell they bring you back. Whichever one, and the line's too long.
>> W.G.: That's what you always go for. Grape.
>> Vanessa: Oh, no.
>> W.G.: Oh, yes. Grape. Not a.
>> Vanessa: Reds.
>> W.G.: Yeah, I would get my grape popsicle. I'd be like Eddie Murphy back in the day going, grape popsicle. I got my popsicle.
>> Speaker G: It's grape. It's grape. And, um, I'm the grape ape.
