Guy gets his dream job, which is pretty cool. Overall I find his calls rather Meh... but he's not terrible. I feel bad for Wheels mostly.

Third, wasn't there a guy between Shonz and Wheeler? Some guy my brother nicknamed 2-shets.

Yup, even though Travis & Chad keep saying hes just the third guy to call games. There have been a handful of other guys to call quite a number of games due to medical issues with Schonley and Wheels, as well. Scott Lynn comes to mind, but there are two other guys that come to mind, but I cant think of their names.

Yeah, but temporary substitutes aside, 2-shets was the official guy hired to replace the Shonz. Why is 2-shets being erased from history? He was our second play-by-play radio announcer. Wheels is our third and now we have a 4th.

Barrett looked like a radio guy, but he was our TV play-by-play announcer.
