Arizona Oregon State game on the air. Bricus a burrito or two, yeah,

17
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.400

like that. But we're sitting here

18
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.040
Showtime Cards, fifty eighth one East
Broadway. It's Friday afternoon, it's geek

19
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.000
day, it's sports sports cards.
It is man a bunch of things here,

20
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.200
I mean cool stuff too. Yeah, this is a cool place,

21
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.239
if you know. It's it's almost
like going to a like a hall of

22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.680
fame or a museum. There's all
kinds of memorabilia and stuff. There's a

23
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.799
really cool, really cool deal.
I've never been a guy who does a

24
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.000
lot of this. I've got some
cards, and I've got some collectibles and

25
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.000
stuff, but I've not been a
you know, somebody who's participating stuff like

26
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.640
this. But a lot of stuff
comes on here. So I did a

27
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.280
long time ago, and I'm thinking, what the hell was I thinking getting

28
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.239
rid of my stuff, because now
I'm realizing it's it's pretty lucrative there.

29
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.359
We probably threw away a lot of
money, and you know what, our

30
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.480
mom's probably threw away a lot of
hay and without giving a crap. My

31
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.400
mom hated my my baseball cards,
she hated my god well, and she

32
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.400
had every right. They were always
all over the house. They were on

33
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.319
this more. Did you ever use
some for the bike? I put them

34
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.239
on my bike, you know,
did all kinds of stuff with them.

35
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.280
Those are the goods with cards and
yeah, man crazy, but I come

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.159
by, come by, guys.
I know we're gonna have some people come

37
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.680
by and say hello. We'll put
you on the radio. Uh kind of

38
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.039
Uh, we'll talk about sports obviously. A big game tomorrow, huge game

39
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.159
tomorrow. You know. I think
this is a really, really really big

40
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.520
game for this last week was kind
of a and I think after you mentioned

41
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.800
Anthony had written this column that that
was not a one off, right that

42
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.159
if it's not a one off,
this better be a two or two off.

43
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.520
You gotta move. You gotta move
the ball forward, right or a

44
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.120
one to two or whatever. You
got to push the ball forward. Football

45
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.960
for this is that. Yeah,
yeah, they got to They got to

46
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.039
matriculate the ball down the field,
right. You know, this is a

47
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.560
game that you know, of course, Oregon State's coming in there. I

48
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.879
think they ranked eleventh, They're six
and one. They're playing well in spite

49
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.400
of the fact that I've been giving
them crap about how they played earlier in

50
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.360
the year. But this is a
game that Arizona to show itself. Right.

51
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.120
They did it last they did it
against Washington State. That was a

52
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.360
step. Oregon State's considered a better
team. But you got to make your

53
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.400
own place well. And you know
this better than me because you've lived it

54
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.639
for a thousand years. You can't
have good day, can't have bad day,

55
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.199
you can't have good day because that's
what that's what they're going to go

56
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.240
for. That's what Arizona does.
That's what Arizona has always done in my

57
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.599
lifetime. You know, you win
a great game. I'll go back to

58
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:31.080
nineteen seventy five, nineteen seventy five, Bruce Hill, Jim Young, t

59
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.080
Bell, all those guys. They
have this tremendous win over Texas Tech.

60
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.960
They come back, they're down twenty
eight to three, come back and win

61
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.240
the game. And that's when Texas
Tech back then to Arizona was USC Trizona

62
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.319
now or what. So they beat
Texas Tech to go five and zero.

63
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.240
New Mexico comes into town and beats
them. Yeah at their play here Tucson.

64
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.759
Yeah, makes no sense, but
it makes total sense because that's how

65
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.199
college football, that's what Arizona's always
done. Yeah. Yeah, and they

66
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.599
gotta start the boys. It's funny
because we've seen coaches here at least I'm

67
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.000
gone through five, and no coach
was immune from it, right, no

68
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.039
matter what, No Dick did it, Mike Stoops did it, Devin Well,

69
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.360
Kevin Summlan didn't because you never won
that. They never won him to

70
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.480
part day. But you know,
uh, you know, rich Rod did

71
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.319
it. You know, they beat
it. They beat Oregon, came home

72
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.800
and got beat by USC in that
twenty fourteen season, or would lose to

73
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.639
Washington State right after or before or
whatever and got ready. Uh No,

74
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.000
this is a big game. I
think the good thing is, uh,

75
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.800
you know, it's not a trap
game, because every game is a trap

76
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.160
game if you can use it that
way, because every game is a big

77
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.720
game. We can't just overlook a
team. Well, the rest of these

78
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.000
games are you know, in every
one of them. You know, right

79
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.800
now, the next two teams that
are up on their schedule, our ranked

80
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.240
teams U c l A. All
of a sudden, you know, looked

81
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.680
really good last week. Yeah,
they scored points that they made that they

82
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.800
couldn't and then they did right.
So no, we're looking forward to that.

83
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.439
We'll talk more about that. In
a bit. We're not gonna have

84
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.600
we have a guest in the second
hour, right, Jake Jakes is gonna

85
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.560
call in. Jake Fisher's gonna call
in about four to seventeen give us his

86
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.040
thoughts on the weekend. I'm sure
they'll be positive. Yeah, he's yeah,

87
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.519
he's yeah. But you know again, and you know the for those

88
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.199
of us who've been around a long
time, this is not our your your

89
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.480
your father's Oregon State. No,
these guys are really good. They're still

90
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.000
in the hunt to get into the
PAC twelve championship game. They've got one

91
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.160
loss. They they lost to Washington, which was I'm Washington State, excuse

92
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.279
me. But you know they've got
Oregon ahead of them. I think I've

93
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.399
got Washington ahead of them. They've
got a chance to still get in this

94
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.759
thing and make a mess of the
whole thing for the PAC twelve. So

95
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.600
you know this. You did this
back in the late eighties. I did

96
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.519
this for a long time in the
nineties and two thousand, went up to

97
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.399
Corbalis a number of times twenty three
years. And I'm gonna I don't know

98
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.839
if I'm going out on a limb
on saying this, but I think I

99
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.959
still think that Oregon State, given
what I saw for all that time twenty

100
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.279
three, people that Oregon State is
at the bottom or was at the bottom

101
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.839
of desirable places to play in the
PAC twelve, in the Pac ten at

102
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.959
that time, back twelve. Now
it's in Convalis. You have to get

103
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.240
off the road to get to the
road to get to Corball. Honestly,

104
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.519
people, people think that Tucson is
a plus tough place to get to.

105
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.800
No, no, no, Corvallis
is tough, second to Pullman, Pullman.

106
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.399
Is that place to look at what
they're doing, Yes, that tells

107
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.120
you how good of a job he's
doing. Jonathan. That place ain't easy,

108
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.680
Jonathan Smith. Excuse me, Yes, no, it's not easy.

109
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.279
It's again, it's it's not.
It's not it's not on the way to

110
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:28.240
anything. No, no, exactly
patch. So no, it's a it's

111
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.800
a you know, when you think
of this job that Jonathan Smith is,

112
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.120
I mean to get a guy like
dj Ungerle who is playing, you know,

113
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.639
at Clemson where they win national championship, and say, you know what,

114
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.000
I'm gonna go to Corvallas of all
places. You know that, and

115
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.560
certainly that had Jonathan Smith being the
quarterback. You know, the coach that

116
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.439
he is, he was a quarterback
in college. Certainly that had a lot

117
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.560
to do with with DJ going over
there. But you get a guy like

118
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.839
that who can bring people like that
convince them, which is what Jed Fish

119
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.800
is trying to do here in Tucson. Right. You know, he's gotten

120
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.920
he's gotten these recruits to come here
and and stay here so far, no

121
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.399
question. What was the what was
the rich Rudds saying, if you get

122
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.079
him here, they'll stay, stay. They just got to get him.

123
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.279
You just got to get him here
and that I don't know if you could

124
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.040
say that to the Corvelis. But
still, he's done a fantastic job.

125
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.079
We talked about this with the UTEB
coach. Tell me the demo, right,

126
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.439
demo? Yeah, And I said, Uteb, Las Cruze, New

127
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.000
Mexico tough places. You go,
get a job there, you better make

128
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.519
the most of it. You can
get the heck out of and win.

129
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.319
He's done a great job there.
And he's a former Beaver, right,

130
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.120
he played he played quarterback. He
knows the environment. I think that's part

131
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.639
of the success. You have a
guy who wants to be there exactly.

132
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.800
And and that's and when you when
you have a coach who says I'm here

133
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.879
because I want to be here,
I'm not here on my way to somewhere

134
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.040
else, that that works for some
of these guys, because that's one of

135
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.920
the things that guy that guys want
to know that if they if they commit

136
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:56.160
to a place like like Oregon State, that that they're uh, you know,

137
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.680
their coach is going to be there
trying to uh you know, make

138
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.480
their way. So No, absolutely, I think it's uh, it's one

139
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.079
of those things where he's he's gotten
the momentum going. And then I hate

140
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.959
that word, but he's gotten the
momentum going. You know, he's got

141
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.399
he's gotten the ball rolling on guys
coming. He's coming there and and you

142
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:16.920
know sticking around. This is the
fifth year of his program. No,

143
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.759
no, I won't. I'll try
to find a different word for you,

144
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.800
but but I'll use that. I'll
let you use that word right now.

145
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.160
You know, you know, did
you see the entrance And I'll say this

146
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.560
to about you talk to a nice
place winningham. He's an entrance on the

147
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.159
motorcycle. He's a bad ass.
He's a badass. Wouldn't you want to

148
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.000
you know, you once you want
to play for dude, And no surprises

149
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.519
that they're doing what they do because
he's that dude. He's that dude.

150
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.200
You know, Dion's got his dion. Jed is really smart. And I'm

151
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.440
not saying Kyle Woodham isn't smart,
but he's for being in football. The

152
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.360
persona he he has as a tough
guy. Yeah, and he's that dude.

153
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.080
And he comes in his motorcycle.
Come on, if he's a good

154
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.320
coach and I've learned this coaching matters, you're gonna play to for that,

155
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.000
you're gonna play. No surprise that
he's doing what he's doing. Oh no,

156
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.399
no, no, it's not.
And you know and not and not

157
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.919
only that Steve that he has stayed
there all this time, right, another

158
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.039
dude that not a guy who jumping
you know, I mean, you know

159
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.000
what's his name? Uh? The
he went he went to a house state

160
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.399
in all that place. He went
from there. He was the coach there

161
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:33.159
sports. Yeah, Urban Meyer,
thank you got Urban My high tailed out

162
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.519
of their first chance. He got
coaching matters. Coaching matters. And and

163
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.000
here we are, and I think
that Jed's done a fantastic job in his

164
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.200
job as being the CEO slash coach. Yah. Uh so we'll see this

165
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.679
is a huge game. Well,
Jed's got a sort of a different,

166
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.519
you know, persona as far as
what his leadership looks like. But then

167
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.159
he's got Johnny Nansen badass, right, Brandon Carroll badass, Briggy Oni bad

168
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.559
ass, Chuck, He's a really
bad badass. You know. He's got

169
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.360
guys like that where it's like,
Okay, if I'm looking for toughness in

170
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.120
my coaches, that's where it is. And then I got this really smart

171
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:16.559
guy up there who's pushing buttons,
recruiting, running, you know, establishing

172
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.360
you know, an offense and all
those things and all that comes together.

173
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.240
And that's how Arizona is trying to
turn things around right now. Sure,

174
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.559
no, and they're doing a good
job. We'll see what happens this weekend.

175
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.759
You're gonna be their tailgating right now. Yes, yep. I'll be

176
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.360
there watching in the press box.
And it's gonna be it's seven o'clock.

177
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.279
It's a seven thirty game. Yeah, yeah, not not great for those

178
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.000
of us who yeah, well it's
you know what I mean. I don't

179
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.960
mind the seven thirty games. Seven
o'clock is even better. I don't really

180
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.799
don't like I'll go to any of
any games. But the one thing about

181
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.159
about any of that is we would
just like to have a day game.

182
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.320
A day game in November is the
coolest thing at Arizona Stadium. So so

183
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.960
you know, I wish I worked
for all tour. Uh. And they're

184
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.759
hoping that don't make it at noon
on that day, and that's right right,

185
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.919
you got out tour during the next
game. Yeah, so they're hoping

186
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.240
that's beyond four o'clock and maybe seven
o'clock. Yeah, unfortunately, but we'll

187
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.480
see what happens that day. First
this one, Uh, the smart money

188
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.759
is on Noah. Yeah, even
I think one of the one of the

189
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.279
website says that, you know,
no if if he'd expected to start,

190
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.960
that's just that's what we're expecting.
Yeah, you'd be surprised if if if

191
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.720
Jayden starts for more than the reasons
of is he healthy or not? Just

192
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.960
Noh's been the guy who's he's been
out there, throw him back out there,

193
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.200
see how he does. And you've
got a guy that if Noah gets

194
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.879
off to a bad start or isn't
playing well or gets hurt, or whatever

195
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.120
you've got the other guy they're ready
to come in sure, or gets deemed

196
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.120
up or yeah whatever, no question, we'll see what happens. I think

197
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.519
it's gonna be fun. The line
at least a new thing is three and

198
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.200
a half still it was. I
don't know if it's changed to three today,

199
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.519
but it was three and a half
yesterday morning. So that's what that's

200
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.360
what we're playing it at. And
it took fab five Friday packs. I'll

201
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.600
call it up right now and see
what it is today. But it it

202
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.279
It was four, then went down
to three and a half and now let's

203
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.480
see what it is. So I'm
not playing it, so just you know,

204
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.639
you know I'm not playing, but
I wouldn't know where to go with

205
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.720
it. But if I were to, I think I would take the point

206
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.879
if somebody said I had to play, it's three now, if somebody said

207
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.840
I had to play it, you
know, or if you don't play,

208
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.759
we kill one of your kids.
I play. I take Arizona. Yeah

209
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.440
I would too. I would too
because it's such an iffy game. Yeah,

210
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.480
at least you go with the home
team. I think I think that

211
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:37.320
I think Arizona, not because I
think it's such a hard place to play

212
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.360
for Oregon State to come to.
But I think the Arizona likes being at

213
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.840
home and and they want to well, here are your factors. They've done

214
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.840
really well this year and covering right, no matter what the situation was.

215
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.440
They're an underdog at home, which
is a factor, right, which is

216
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.000
a huge factor. It's a huge
factor. Guys. Take guys, take

217
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.960
that personal. And then they're playing
well, right. I mean, those

218
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.639
are three good things to go.
I mean I know that I know two

219
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.360
of the two of the last three
games were losses, but all three games

220
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.120
they played really well. You know, they played two top ten teams in

221
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.120
those in those two and not just
right then they've bet a ranked team on

222
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.120
the road, right, So so
no, I think that it's a it's

223
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.279
a it's a big chance. It's
a big chance. Okay, I you

224
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.679
know, hey, guys, you
guys are on campus. You guys are

225
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.519
on campus. What's the vibe on
campus for this weekend's game. I'd say

226
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.679
there's definitely a lot of believers.
It's drastically changed. I think that a

227
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.399
lot of people do believe that this
is one of the games that we can

228
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.960
compete in and I think that Arizona
cannot come out flat in this game.

229
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.679
If they want more buy in,
I say, I say, they come

230
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.720
out and have a good half.
Maybe down three going and a half.

231
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.279
That's that's a solid start. But
yeah, there's definitely a lot more buying

232
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.039
now these days, you know.
I agree. We were actually talking about

233
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.080
it before the show started. We
were talking about how I feel like a

234
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.480
lot of fans feel like this team
has something to it and it is really

235
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:03.399
worth supporting and getting behind, and
that's increasing by the week. It's well,

236
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.320
they have to because they hit forty
two. Yeah, well they're gonna

237
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.759
you know, they're gonna need them
to show up, show up early,

238
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.519
and stick around as always. I
mean, that's the thing that it always

239
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.200
is, but certainly a thing where
you know, even I mean if it's

240
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.679
not full, you still make some
noise and be there. Right, that's

241
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.639
what we got to get. All
right, let's go ahead and hit our

242
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.399
first break. We're gonna come back
talk some more about the games and things

344
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.880
Modis. Hello, Hello, we
love your place. Thank you, thank

345
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.359
you, welcome. I'm glad you
guys came by. Checked it out like

346
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.480
a big playground. Man. Absolutely, it's a sports paradise. Uh,

347
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.200
definitely a playground for a sports card
collector or a fan. You probably your

348
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.880
customers nessing one hundred you have more
than one hundred percent. How many of

349
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.359
them are regulars? Eighty percent?
I mean that we see them weekly on

350
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.279
a weekly you know these people.
Oh yeah, yep, and we have

351
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.000
a large customer list. We've been
here this year, we're celebrating twenty five

352
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.799
years. So been here a long
time, and we've done it all,

353
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.319
and we've done you know, I've
I've helped create some of these cards,

354
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.680
work with the manufacturers, and been
in the industry a long time. So

355
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.759
those twenty percent, I see guys
bringing cards, Hey, how much is

356
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.119
this one work? Absolutely? Oh
yeah, that's every single day. That's

357
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.920
what my brothers did. It just
that, you know, and sometimes it's

358
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.880
good news, and sometimes it's not, you know, like they have this

359
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.599
perception like I've had this forty years. Should it be worth two three thousand

360
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.880
dollars or see, it's not,
you know. And then sometimes like these

361
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.440
old guards, I don't know they
were you know, only end up attic

362
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.920
or whatever. And there's some rare
like a Babe Ruth card, Right,

363
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.400
So okay, so you you do
what you call events here, right,

364
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:14.680
but then they're they're broadcast out.
Just tell me what you know, walk

365
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.000
me through one of those, because
I'd be interested to see what you know,

366
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.160
what that is you're going to open
a box or something. So exactly,

367
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.279
so now we can do these streams. They we do a live stream

368
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.599
and people can participate like they can
be in New York, Florida. There's

369
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:32.759
a guy that breaks with us in
England and they buy a spot and basically

370
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.839
what essentially they're doing is they're splitting
a case with everyone. And the way

371
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.079
they divvy it up is by teams. Okay, So and we randomize the

372
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.160
team. So let's say I have
the Yankees, and I actually had the

373
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:47.480
Yankees last night, and I pulled
this awesome card. It's a Derek Jeter

374
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.920
signed to autograph number to ten.
Okay, And and that's basically it's divided

375
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.960
by teams, and and people watch
this broadcasting. We stream it and and

376
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.640
there's a chat and it creates a
community and people that love to collect cards

377
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.200
and that are sports fans. So
you opened the box and what you just

378
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.720
show each card or what do you
do? Box by box? Packed by

379
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.000
pack? Card by card, every
single one is shown live, streamed and

380
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.279
recorded. You could go back and
watch it two years later. So go

381
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.839
ahead, No, you go ahead. So we know cards have been like

382
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.720
this popular for a long time,
like long time before we were kids.

383
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.880
Both. When did it kind of
become unless I lost track, which I

384
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.599
probably did, When did it happen
to become like this crazy, like just

385
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.400
last ten years or has it always
been like last five years? I would

386
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.640
say last five years. Twenty seventeen, we kind of started seeing it and

387
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.920
everybody said, hey, COVID helped
cards and take off, but no,

388
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.519
it was coming. It was a
perf. Covid was the perfect storm for

389
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.759
it. Like it really blew us
up because we were at home they pulled

390
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.559
out their old collections. But it
started prior to that, about twenty twenty

391
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:55.400
seventeen, because it's it has it's
like any any other market. It has

392
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.279
ups and downs it and it's been
down for a long time decades, you

393
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.240
know, after the the junk era, which was late eighties early nineties,

394
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.000
they overproduced cards, so people just
like this, this sucks and nobody wanted

395
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:14.839
to collect. And then twenty sixteen
seventeen, Aaron Judge rookies. They Otani

396
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.279
came into the league and they kind
of just built it up. And you

397
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.039
know, obviously you had some great
athletes like like Kobe and Michael Jordan and

398
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.200
and we still do. So what
you're gambling on then? And I guess

399
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.279
it's almost like gambling, right,
you're gambling that you're gonna open this box.

400
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.480
And let's say you've got the Angels. You know you're going for that

401
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.519
on You're going for that of time, so you get the and do you

402
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.640
get to pick which team you get
or do you you can do pick your

403
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.920
team or we we value each team, you know, based by like right

404
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.079
now, the Arizona Dinebacks. Obviously
we're in the World Series and we have

405
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.720
a great rookie, Corbyn Carroll.
His autograph is worth a lot. So

406
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:53.640
so let me ask you, because
these two teams are in the league,

407
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.920
in the championships, right in the
World Series, do their cards value more

408
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.920
now? Yep? It's based on
player performance. What's going on? And

409
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.839
that's how he goes up and down
based on player performance, just kind of

410
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.079
like the stocks. Like let's say
you buy Amazon. Amazon as a company's

411
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.960
doing well, it goes up.
This player at Corbyn. Carrol's hot,

412
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.599
he's doing well. He's on National
TV, you know, the World series.

413
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.880
His cards through the Yes, same
as the tank. They commit something

414
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.799
off the field, you know,
they beat up their wife or something.

415
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.519
Yep, his cards are work.
Is that what it? U? This

416
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:37.880
is jackuar. He loves to ye
both of us. Man. He pokes,

417
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:41.480
Yep, he pokes. But okay, so so let's say you were

418
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.680
doing a well you did this event
last night, so I'm how did that

419
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:51.640
go? And you said you didn't
get somebody for every team. So I

420
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.079
took the last few spots in order
to break this. And I was actually

421
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:56.559
doing this from my home. You
know, we break here at the shop.

422
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.559
We have a studio. We're building
studios over there. But I can

423
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.039
also do it from from my home, you know, and have a drink

424
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.559
and enjoy it and have fun.
That's just like everyone, what do you

425
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.039
mean, like take few you pay
for and you pay for exactly yep.

426
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:17.480
So I can invest into the into
the break So okay, actually Aaron bought

427
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.000
it for me. Yeah yeah,
okay, tell us about this thing last

428
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.799
night. The total value of the
box was, or the was each box

429
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.480
were breaking, is two hundred and
fifty dollars and it's a case of cards,

430
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.960
so it's fifteen hundred dollars and we
divide it so each and each person

431
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.279
got too. So each person paid
one hundred dollars and they got two teams

432
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.319
for that. Okay, okay,
well to apply that by fifteen fifteen hundred,

433
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.960
So if someone had the angels,
we pulled it. We pulled in

434
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.359
ony. Here it is and game
used jersey, so that that goes to

435
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.200
him, to him, and what
is that worth? That one's one hundred

436
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.240
and fifty dollars. So he got
his money back in terms of absolutely an

437
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.000
exactly piece of his jersey and a
piece of the jersey. How do we

438
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:03.359
know that's a game used jersey,
just exactly. We're helping top everybody's and

439
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.359
that has his autograph. How do
we know later that has more value later

440
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.720
based on player performance? Right?
Right, but right now it's one hundred

441
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.720
and fifty. Oh he's the hottest
player. We did a show in Anaheim,

442
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.480
and obviously it's an Anaheim. They
play there, but they tany out

443
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:26.480
everybody by a mile or all these
from last night here from last night,

444
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.920
yes, so who else is in
there? Oh? This this is my

445
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.200
old mentor, he owned a baseball
and then you ordered these cases from somewhere,

446
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.559
the manufacturers from tops. Yep,
we've been in visited, like we

447
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.319
talked about a long time. So
we get everything direct from the manufacturing Tops

448
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.359
Pannini upper Deck. All right,
Okay, fanatics just got in the game.

449
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.359
They're buying everything. So and guess
what, he took a class,

450
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.960
get them and geek them. No. But but but the thing is they're

451
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.559
having fun. We do different.
Yeah, in terms of having fun,

452
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.359
you must be having fun. I
love my job. I have fun every

453
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.759
day. It's not even worked to
me. I've been doing this twenty five

454
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:11.279
years. You can wear a doctor
jersey to work, okay on Fridays.

455
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.079
Other than that, we do have
a uniform we were yeah, like a

456
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.000
collared shirt or oh yeah, but
on Fridays we get to wrap our teams

457
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:25.279

diamondback and no diamondbacks jersey. I know

458
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:27.400

459
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:33.119
Randy Johnson. It didn't. That
was what two thousand and one. So

460
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.480
we're talking a couple of decades and
you look, you still look good.

461
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.240
Thank you, Mom. Man.
Okay, So you got baseball cards and

462
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:41.759
all, you know, all the
different training cards, your Pokemon, all

463
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.279
that kind of stuff. So I
see some basketballs over there, I see

464
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.200
some jerseys. Uh, trash cans
up there on the wall. I mean

465
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.759
where what other types of stuff that
you deal in here? You know how

466
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.160
much a part of your business is
that? Or is it? Are you?

467
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.599
Mostly primarily it's cards, but we
do so a lot of memorabiliya and

468
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.079
novel tis. Also. You know
during Christmas holidays we bring in a lot

469
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.079
of that stuff. People just want
presents. They don't know what it's better.

470
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:10.519
But this is actually a collectible store
for like more the avid collector.

471
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:12.240
He had to have my book here
and he's someone, look here a lot

472
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.720
of you a old stuff. Yeah
stuff. I got a pair of signed

473
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.400
Channing Fry basketball shoes from his senior
day. Uh huh. How much can

474
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.279
I get for that? Because my
son he abandoned. Those are kind of

475
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.279
one of the kind. They one
of a kind that's a more rare piece.

476
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.200
So it's just whatever someone's willing to
pay for those. So if we

477
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.759
put a four hundred, five hundred
dollars price, haag, nobody but buys

478
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.960
it, you lower it until someone
buys better than ca Maathrine signed shoes or

479
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.640
selling for a thousand dollars. Wow, yep, okay right and used to

480
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.839
have Poppy. You have cursed stuff
here. You have the guys a lot

481
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.720
of the Arizona stuff. We're a
big Arizona shop. U of a.

482
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.319
We bring in the team now with
a nail agreements. We bring in they

483
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:56.400
do signings. Uh. The assistant
coach was just here and he's we're talking

484
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:03.400
about bringing the Caleb Love and uh
the other uh Bradley, no one diego.

485
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.559
Yeah, some people and do the
the curves and the colocos still go

486
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:15.119
well because the glory years absolutely people
love those teams. Steve Curse still on.

487
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.720
You know he's obviously the head coach
of the Golden State Warriors, so

488
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.079
you see a lot of his stuff. How much does stuff fluctuate though,

489
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.519
depending on how the teams do a
lot more than you one would think.

490
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.960
Yeah, for football, it's every
Sundays he throws four, you know,

491
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.839
five touchdowns. People want his card. You know that kid from h from

492
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.319
Minnesota, Addison, Nobody really heard
him. He went to USC the wide

493
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.640
receiver just In Jefferson was hurt.
He had a big game be able to

494
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.279
come in here. Do you have
his rookie card? Do you have his

495
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.640
autograph? Wow? So literally it
fluctuates more than one would you're when you're

496
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.759
on, say I get some of
that, I get some of that.

497
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.880
Absolutely, Yes, yes, we
go for the guys that we were holding

498
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.160
their cards. So you've got him
in the book out come on, let's

499
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.640
go. Yes, Yes, that's
crazy. It's crazy that it does that.

500
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.640
It does that, and that's why
the old price guides, the Beckett

501
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.279
price guides are kind of irrelevant because
it changes instantly like that as a matter

502
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:12.480
of a game. So you basically
have to go online and see what it's

503
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.440
valued. A lot of times eBay
sold listening to eBay because that's a true

504
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.359
market, that's what it's act and
so much willing to pay for. Yeah,

505
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.359
okay, wow, that's and you've
been here for how long? Twenty

506
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:29.160
five years and this one, uh
twenty over twenty years. We're in this

507
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.200
complex, we've been here twenty five
years. O. Wait, every time

508
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.480
we grew we're in three suites.
Now we started with one suite, then

509
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:37.640
two suites. Now we're at three
new renovating. Yes, yeah, and

510
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.240
then we're building because we're about the
streams. We're rebuilding the offices, putting

511
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:49.279
in studios and renovating. Given us
place of faces, some what's the what's

512
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.559
the most possession you have inside inside
and maybe out of your real life,

513
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.880
Like what would you say that's cool
if you have something here that that's cool

514
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:05.559
for somebody here? A lot of
like Arizona stuff like Benedict Mathrine shoes or

515
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.799
jerseys, game jerseys, and personally, and then we also have like one

516
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.599
of the cards. Oh, personally, I have a Kobe Bryant tops chrome

517
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.480
card. It's super rare. It's
less than fifty in existence. It's a

518
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.279
perfect card PSA ten. I bought
the card when my son was born,

519
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.359
so eighteen years ago, four thousand
dollars and now it's valued that last one

520
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:31.519
sold for one hundred and sixty one
thousand, that it's not here. Yeah,

521
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:36.079
wow, Wow, when you had
the foresight to think, what were

522
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.400
you thinking? No, I was
just collecting them. You know. I

523
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.720
was a big Lakers fan. I
love Kobe Bryant. I wanted to have

524
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:45.440
all his cards. And my ex
wife was my wife at that time,

525
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:46.680
Like what, well, are you
doing spending this kind of and we didn't

526
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.960

a credit card. She's like, what

527
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:54.160
are you doing spending this money on
this cardfe she's ad one more of those

528
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:59.960
in your gun, and then there
was one more. You notice he's happy.

529
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:06.559
They're jerks. I'm not talking to
you anymore, all right, that

530
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:08.000

It is fun talking to to George

541
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.599
You know, it's it's sort of
a big playground. In here, a

542
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:50.000
lot of cool stuff going on.
You have a big thing tonight. They

543
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.360
have a big something going on tonight. They're cleaning up. You have the

544
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:55.079
kid. I think they have a
big break or so much. Let's where

545
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.840
they're kind of dressed in. Yeah, all right, Steve World series stressing

546
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.719
man. Yeah, you know what
I I took. I took a bite

547
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.079
of it. I don't think that
the I think that the Rangers win at

548
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:14.239
home, Okay tonight tonight, Well, even though they're going against the Diamondbacksace,

549
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.000
I don't know enough to be smarter
than Yeah, that's my problem.

550
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:19.440
Well, I'm just thinking I'm just
going with the chalk at home and see

551
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.599
what happens. Well, both of
these teams, you know, you can

552
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.159
say King kind of came out of
nowhere. I mean some people saying,

553
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:28.159
oh I knew they were gonna do
this. They both came out of nowhere,

554
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.880
a five seed and a six seed. So you know, whether or

555
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.440
not, you know, you think
they belong there or what. Nobody knows

556
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.719
what's gonna happen with these two teams
because they both got so hot at the

557
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:42.679
same time. They both beat other
really good teams. They've got on the

558
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.679
tear and and here they are.
What were the Rangers? I know the

559
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.440
Diamonducks for six seed right now,
the Rangers were five, Diamondbacks were six.

560
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:51.960
So let me ask you this narrative. It always happens because you know,

561
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.079
media guys go after this story.
No one respected them, no one

562
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.679
expected this. We're gonna prove people
wrong. I'm tired of that because these

563
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.639
guys can play. Everybody can play. They're they're major leaguers for a reason.

564
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.480
Whether you have people not doubting youever, that doesn't have to be your

565
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:13.480
motivation. And we've talked about,
Steve, where baseball Baseball is a is

566
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.360
a you know, Major League Baseball
is a sport where you know, any

567
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:21.719
team can get hot over over a
short period of time, just you know,

568
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:23.559
and these two teams did that,
and then that, you know,

569
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:29.320
I think all the other sports are
more predictable. You know, Basketball is

570
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.440
more predicted. Football is certainly more
producially the best team with the rast records.

571
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.039
But in baseball, for some reason, you know, with with just

572
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.199
the way the game is, anybody
can get hot at any time and go

573
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:44.239
do something like that. You know, bad teams have winning streaks. Sure,

574
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.360
look at look at Arizona specifically,
they were very good, then they

575
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.320
were not very good. Then they
survived and got in, right, and

576
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.480
look at this the season as a
as a whole, right, and that's

577
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:58.719
what and that's why. That's the
way baseball is. So, you know,

578
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.280
I mean I knew, you know, when the Dodgers even though they

579
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.079
were the one or the two seed. Yeah, and they you know,

580
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.239
and they were the one, the
top seed on their side of the bracket,

581
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:09.639
you know you I mean, there
wasn't anything that told me, I

582
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:13.280
you know that the two seed,
they're you know, they're in the National

583
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:16.480
Championship Series. There's no way because
you gotta go play, and any team

584
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:23.000
a pitcher or a pitching staff can
get hot realistically, not realistically, uh

585
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.320
true to form. Wise, it
would have been Atlanta, Atlanta and the

586
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.880
Dodgers, and no I thought was
in the World Series. You should have

587
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:32.280
been in Atlanta, Baltimore, Baltimore, Okay, right, because they were

588
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.960
the best they were. I would
have said Atlanta, Houston, but okay,

589
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.920
I'll go with Baltimore. And it
was hardly that. Yeah, Baltimore

590
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.280
didn't get out of the first round. Yeah, well neither did the Dodgers.

591
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.440
Neither did the Brave, So uh, you know, you just you

592
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.760
just never know. And in baseball
is such a thing that again as unpredictable

593
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.280
as anything. All you got to
do is get hot, right, And

594
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.199
it's funny. It's funny. They
were talking about the ratings. They're not

595
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:59.400
gonna be very good. It doesn't
care, it doesn't matter if you're if

596
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.719
you're a range, do you give
one crap, not a damn crap,

597
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:06.159
not a damn Hey, we're here. We don't have to prove it to

598
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:10.000
Yeah. No, yeah, you're
one hundred percent. It's like and again,

599
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:13.119
I you know, we we talked
about this a little bit the other

600
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.320
day. You know, it's the
damn World Series. You know, you

601
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.519
get to a super Bowl. Do
you care if it's if the Patriots aren't

602
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:22.679
in it, or if the Chiefs
aren't in it. It's the damn Super

603
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:24.199
Bowl. You're gonna watch the World
Series. I'm sending here talking to my

604
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.519
wife and let's go to a movie
tonight. She goes, don't watch a

605
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.320
baseball game. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm not sure what I'm

606
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.119
going to do. I want to
stay home and watch a game. You

607
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.960
know, I'm running for the Diamondbacks. Well, look at that. The

608
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.000
world's gonna end. I'm a nationalist, I'm an in the end, I'm

609
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.360
a Nation League fan. I mean, if the if the Astros were in

610
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.639
the National League and had done no, no there, you would have been

611
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:46.840
that way. Yeah, but it's
it's got some pride. I mean,

612
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:51.599
I have hate people. No,
no, you have a big getting here.

613
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.079
We're here in Arizona, and I
would venture to guess that let's say

614
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:59.280
the population is whatever, a hundred
thousand, uh fifty percent of the people

615
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.280
don't even know who the diamond bags
are that that's come out. How many

616
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.480
people can you name? That's true? And you know, down here in

617
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.760
Tucson, Man, ever since they
kind of you know, you know,

618
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.039
as I like to say, they
threw us the finger and left took spring

619
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.360
training with them. Yea, you
know, there's been less of a less

620
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.679
less of a you know following down
here. You know that they they don't

621
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:21.519
do the buses anymore, all that
kind of stuff that they do down here.

622
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:24.400
So they've kind of taken their presence
away from from Tucson. And that's

623
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:28.000
fine. But you know what,
no matter what they were gonna do,

624
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.360
Sure, there's fans of other teams, even in Phoenix. And you know

625
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.039
we had Bob when Bob camp was
on the other day, he said,

626
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:38.079
you go to a Dodger, a
Dodger diving back regular season except for the

627
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:42.800
state, knowing which stadium you're and
you don't know who's the who's the home

628
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.639
team? Sure, So I was
just gonna ask you, Oh, so

629
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:50.559
it's been twenty two years. Does
it feel like twenty two years since the

630
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.800
last one? It feels longer,
you know, yeah, because you know,

631
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.400
you want when you think about when
you think about two thousand and one,

632
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.039
you think that was the year of
nine to eleven, and that it

633
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.360
seems so long ago. You feel
like we've been living the way we're living

634
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.480
post nine to eleven almost our entire
life. So it does feel like a

635
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.760
long time ago to me. You
know, I was talking to my sister

636
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:14.519
who you know, she we went
to We went together to game one,

637
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:16.599
my brother Jean who was just here, and my sister e Lane and Adam

638
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:20.559
and my son Adam and I.
We went to game one, blew off

639
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:22.920
in Arizona, Arizona football game against
USC I remember that Saturday, right,

640
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:27.280
yes, Saturday game to go to
Game one. I started listening to it

641
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:30.719
at at at the ballpark and and
what's in the quarterback that John mckovic had

642
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.719
through for a lot of yards,
through for a lot of yards. He

643
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:37.360
threw a pick six to lose that
game. And I would say, I

644
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.559
was so happy I wasn't there to
see that. So let me tell you

645
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:44.760
by my wife at the time,
we had tickets. We gave them to

646
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.199
my best friend in New Mexico.
They came out, flew out because you

647
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:51.480
know, you're thinking, we'll get
opportunities again, and you know how those

648
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.400
opportunities, but it don't happen.
They don't. It don't happen. Well,

649
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:57.079
I had, I had. I
was at twoson Electric at the time,

650
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.239
so we had you know, we're
still in the relationship through spring training

651
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.119
and all that stuff with them and
I, you know, I had a

652
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.320
ticket to Game seven because we had
four seats and I and I was,

653
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.639
you know, since I was the
one that kind of put that deal together.

654
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.480
You know, I got I was
getting one of the seats and I

655
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:15.320
couldn't go because of the Red and
Blue game that night. I had work.

656
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.559
I had to go work the Red
and Blue game. So I watched.

657
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:21.440
But my sister who was at our
house today, she was remembering who

658
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.719
used ticket one of the other guys
from TV. Yeah, and uh and

659
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.400
she, you know, she went
to the game and still remembers that yesterday.

660
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:35.639
Didn't she have one of a crush
She's on Louis Louis Lewis, while

661
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.400
she also had a crush on Steve
Finley later on after that, girl,

662
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:44.480
your girl's got a lot of crushes. But you know, it was it

663
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.320
was a great time. Uh.
You know, look when the when the

664
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.079
Cardinals got into the Super Bowl.
I'm not a Cardinals fan, not in

665
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.320
the least, that seems not in
the least, but I was rooting for

666
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.440
them. Yeah, you know,
we watched that Super Bowl. We were

667
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:59.960
all excited the Steelers. We were
all excited. That was a great playof

668
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:01.639
run, you know, and that
was fun to watch. And Kurt Warner

669
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:06.000
was a likable guy, and Larry
Fitzgerald and those guys that you were on

670
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.760
that team probable, yeah, very
improbable. And you just don't never expect

671
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.079
the Cardinals to get into to do
anything. But that was a great run.

672
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.639
We had fun. We were pulling
for the Suns a couple of years

673
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:16.920
ago when they got to the finals, right wanted them to win. So

674
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:20.840
I'm I'm an Arizona guy. I'll
root for those guys. I don't hate

675
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.920
them. I'm just not a I'm
not a fan. From the standpoint of

676
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.280
being a follower. There's not an
affiliated there's nothing like a tie in.

677
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:32.760
You know, maybe maybe uh DeAndre, but then was not a likable yeah,

678
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:36.880
so you know, it's it's that
and that's a little bit of a

679
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:38.880
shame of what's happened with the you
know, with the Phoenix Pro Sports over

680
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:44.000
time. But look, if they're
selling enough seats by just marketing to the

681
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:46.320
Phoenix area, then more power to
them. You know, I think they'll

682
00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:49.920
be fine after that. They're not
though, they're not. They're not selling

683
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.280
a lot of seats now everyone well
nobody is though, you know Baseball and

684
00:42:53.440 --> 00:43:00.199
baseball are they Yeah, you know, I mean en franchise is like the

685
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.760
Dodgers, the Yankees, you know
some of those they're still you know,

686
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.039
they're still drawing. Well, let
me ask you, because we have how

687
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:09.559
many about three minutes year three minutes
So I don't go to I went to

688
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:14.039
I went to a d back game
this year. Watch Baltimore cost me about

689
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:17.239
seventy five dollars a ticket, a
couple of tickets hundred and fifty h So

690
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.159
what's the price of a ticket to
go? And they're pricing you out because

691
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.760
they got to pay these damn guys. Right, that's one of the things.

692
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:27.840
That's why would you go. That's
one of the things. I mean,

693
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:32.519
we paid, uh, you know, fifty bucks you said in the

694
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:37.039
in the at the highest level seat, you know, but that's he used

695
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.639
to be you know, five bucks, Yeah, you know, ten bucks.

696
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:42.000
Well that was how long ago,
I know, but fifty even if

697
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.480
it's twenty five, it's twenty five
and you get four people. But here's

698
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:45.719
what we got killed, you know. Then you go to the snack bar,

699
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:50.320
I got two bottles of water.
Yeah, fifteen bucks. Fifty Okay,

700
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:54.159
what about parking? Forty bucks?
See right, almost have two hundred

701
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:58.039
bucks. Forty bucks from tickets?
How many tickets? Two tickets, two

702
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.679
tickets a well you're spending two hundred
at least, well for that for the

703
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:02.960
playoff game. We we just got
the cheapest ticket week No, no,

704
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.840
give me a total for for everything, for everything. While we spent one

705
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.719
hundred dollars for tickets. We spent
one hundred and twenty bucks to eat.

706
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.280
We ate at one of the sports
books right next to the stadium. That

707
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.920
was another hundred and twenty with a
couple of beers and and and food.

708
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.159
We spent uh. Then got into
the stadium and got to spend fifteen bucks

709
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:27.199
on water. But our seat was
so high and so far away from the

710
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.280
tunnel. I didn't even get my
usual bag of peanuts or non chow.

711
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.719
I thought, if I go down, I'm not making it back up.

712
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.199
So I didn't come. But we
had a great time, you know.

713
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:42.000
And you know we weren't buying souvenirs, right I did you know they were

714
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.280
giving us. They were giving out
rally towels at that game, and we

715
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.880
were walking. We got a Dodger
gear on, and they said you can't

716
00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:51.159
have one. I said, come
