the Yankee, And you say,

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.039

fourth perfect game thrown by a Yankee in

9
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:45.000
the years that the previous three perfect
games were thrown. The Yankees won the

10
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:51.840
World championship. Oh no, it
has the tasty stat It was like a

11
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.799
nondescript It was a nice perfect game, obviously was one. It was the

12
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.640

this dude who you know, he was

13
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.280

Seattle, he went three and a
third, eight hits, ten runs,

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.719
eight of those earned. He gave
up four homers, and then he comes

16
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.359
back and throws a perfect game.
Figure bball, go go figure that Steve.

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.760
But every day is a season you
just you know, and that's baseball,

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.840

any any other sport. Princeton's on the

20
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.760
line right now. Hello the ball
as a as a side note to that,

21
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.599
UM Darren raveled posted on H on
Twitter. And Darren is a guy.

22
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.000
He's got all the memorabilian tickets and
stuff like that. A physical ticket

23
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.920
to UM, to the game last
night, to the perfect game last night

24
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.799
is already selling for twelve thousand dollars, just a ticket if you went,

25
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.920
Yeah, the ticket, the actual
tech. Who's gonna do that? Who?

26
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.000
Because everybody's got first viper's got Oh
yeah, this was the actual thing.

27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:05.799
Okay, still okay, twelve thousand
dollars as a piece of memorabild No.

28
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.520
But what's his name? Is in
a good business apparently? George?

29
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.439
George? How all of a sudden
it's like the talk of the stuff.

30
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.599
How what do you got? What
do you got? Two thousand dollars ticket

31
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.840
to a game that's not good?
Happened? That just happened. This happened,

32
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.599
okay, Um, As we were
talking earlier, four players, four

33
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:30.680
NFL players have been suspended for for
gambling activity or violating the league's gambling policy.

34
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:37.080
Isaiah Rodgers and Rashad Barry and then
a free agent Demetrius Taylor were suspended

35
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.280
for the entire twenty twenty three season
and we'll have to apply for reinstatement because

36
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.919
they were actually betting on NFL games
during twenty twenty two seasons, So which

37
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.560
is just stupid. I mean,
you just gotta be smarter than that.

38
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.400
And then another player, Nicholas Petite
Ferrari I guess it's a pronounce the name,

39
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.280
a Tennessee Times player, was suspended
for six games for the same reason

40
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.240
that you know. There's only guy
Stanley Barry Hill got suspended for because he

41
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.240
was betting on non NFL sports,
but he was doing it from the club

42
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.319
facility. So those four guys suspended
today by the by the NFL, and

43
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.120
uh oh and then uh Rogers and
Barry, who were on the Cults rost

44
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.719
were both waived today. So not
only did they get suspended the out of

45
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.719
jobs. Yeah, that's too bad. That's too bad. Okay um uh

46
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.719
Arizona has a player that's been added
to the to the women's under nineteen national

47
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.000
team that'll be playing in a tournament. Her name Breya Cunningham. She's a

48
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.159
incoming freshman recruit at Arizona, so
she's on that on that roster, and

49
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.960
so she was in the trials for
the U nineteen team, but now she'll

50
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.719
be she's been added to the Well, she's I take nine year twenty U

51
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.680
nineteen. She's been added to the
U nineteen team, so she'll be she'll

52
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.319
be joining that team this summer,
so good for her. UM. As

53
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:01.639
we mentioned, the Kylin Boswell and
Philip Leape borrevichan In are waiting to play

54
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.840
their uh UM quarterfinal games tomorrow and
if they both win, they'll be playing

55
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.400
each other in the semifinals. Up
and hung should be good. Yes,

56
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.919
so there's that UM. Chase Davis
got another All America team. He's a

57
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.480
second team All American by D one
Baseball dot com, So that's four All

58
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.199
America teams that he's been on all
the other The other three are also second

59
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:29.480
team American Baseball Coach Association, National
Collegiate Baseball Prior Association, then a group

60
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.639
called the Perfect Game. So but
he's uh, he's gotten a four America

61
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.639
teams man. Good for Chase Davis. Um, all right, let's see.

62
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.160
Oh this is well, this is
kind of this is more funny than

63
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.199
than New Z. But Lebron,
did you see this thing between by Lebron

64
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.439
James? No, by Teen Wolf? No, you didn't see this,

65
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.519
Lebron James tweets out sitting here watching
Teen Wolf, which is the nineteen eighty

66
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.319
five movie. Michael J. Fox
was a ware wolf. He's playing basketball

67
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.600
in high school. The last basketball
scene when he didn't go back to the

68
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.519
wolf is the funniest basketball I've ever
seen. His name, he's got a

69
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:12.680
bunch of laughing emojis, and why
or how is his old buddy standing under

70
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.959
the rim at the end of the
game with free throws? With free throws?

71
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.399
Uh well, so at the end
of the game Michael J. Fox

72
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.160
has two free throws to win the
game. He's not he's not the Wolf.

73
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.959
So you know they're down by a
point. He's going and the guy

74
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.319
that filed him, who was on
the other team, who's the villain in

75
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.079
the movie, and it was his
fifth foul in the game. He literally

76
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.240
stands under the basket. But it
would never, would never ever happen.

77
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.279
My spoiler alert, Michael Jay Fox
makes the two free throws and they win.

78
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.360
But he's laughing. He's like,
there's not realistic. Run. Yeah,

79
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.639
but when is the goofy sports movie
like that ever been realistic? Right?

80
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.680
I mean if if, if,
if it's real. They're not going

81
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.759
to let a whare wolf play in
the game, if you want to get

82
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.560
us about the conversation, right right, this is fantasy. But he's calling

83
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.040
out the writers of the movie that
he would never be allowed to sit under

84
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.199
the basket during the game. I
thought that was pretty funny. Um,

85
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.560
did we say, do we mention
Cedric Henderson? Yeah? Should he signed

86
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.000
with the with the Cleveland he was, he was signing with somebody else and

87
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.279
then he just signed with the summer
team. Zulus is gonna be playing with

88
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.519
the seventy six or summer team because
he signed with their their G league teams.

89
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.720
So a couple of guys will be
playing in the Vegas Summer League right

90
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:34.160
this summer. Did you see and
I just saw this today, uh,

91
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.560
that they're thinking about expanding the nc
DOABAA to ninety six teams. The tournament.

92
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.360
The men's best conversation is going,
still going, still going. I

93
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.399
mean there's a discussion of it.
I didn't know. I didn't know this

94
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.959
conversation it was had gone serious.
Come on, that's another participation troll.

95
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:56.519
That's and that's another that's around now
of of buy first round buys, right,

96
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.519
gonna be there's gonna be thirty two
first round buys. The reason they

97
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.879
went to sixty four teams because when
it was forty eight, there was a

98
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.639
round of bays and the teams who
got the buys were losing because people felt,

99
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.560
you know, the jitters. They
still had the jitters when the team

100
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.639
who didn't have a buye you know, I played a game, the famous

101
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:24.040
one was Market Wires De Paul team. They won, They lost one game

102
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.959
all year and then got beat in
the they got to buy and they got

103
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.319
beat in the first and that's when
that discussion was happening. And then they

104
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.920
went to sixty four teams to say
nobody gets a buy, so everybody's on

105
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.720
the eleven day they added four and
how well have those teams done? They

106
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.040
get the first four? Pretty damn
good, pretty good. You know,

107
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.920
one of them got to the final
four. The thing is ninety six is

108
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.879
way too much, and maybe they
add a couple more. We don't need

109
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.480
another round game. We do not
need another round. No, and it

110
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.279
says, well, it's gonna happen. It's it's gonna happen at some point.

111
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.839
I don't know what the number is, but people are saying, like

112
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.800
Larnego from Miami said, yeah,
let's go ninety six. Tomizo says,

113
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.000
I'm not ready for it yet.
You know, Bill Selt says it's going

114
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.360
to happen. Ninety six teams.
What's the special team? Then you know

115
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.959
what it is. You know what
the coaches are thinking. Now I can

116
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.959
say I got to the tournament even
with a crappy team, but I got

117
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.079
to the tournaments, so it's gonna
be harder to fire me. Yeah,

118
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.519
were they thinking about here isn't this
isn't the tournament special? Supposed perfect?

119
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.959
Is this supposed to be special?
I didn't like it when they added the

120
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:31.639
four because they added the four to
stop the arguing about the first four out,

121
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.279
and now we're arguing about the net. It's always gonna be arguing about

122
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.519
the team sixty nine seventy two.
It's always gonna be that way. It's

123
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.519
always. Yeah, it's not stop
enough. And I will say I will

124
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.360
say that it's grown on me,
okay, But the first four okay,

125
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.679
okay on Tuesday because they have played
well, right, and more than anything,

126
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.799
on Tuesday of tournament, we've got
tournament games. So the tournament starts

127
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.320
on Tuesday, not Thursday. At
Thursday's still a very special day. It

128
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.279
feels different than those first one.
But when I go home from the show

129
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.519
on Tuesday of turning a week,
I turn it on my turner on the

130
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.840
radio in the car, and I
watch it when I get home, and

131
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.120
I'll sit there and I'll watch both
games, and I'll watch both games on

132
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.399
Wednesday as well. To be fair
too, that those six, those four

133
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.559
aren't included in the brackets anyway,
right right, the ones you fill out

134
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.120
because they have to wait to see
who's going to play in right to me?

135
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.960
Enough? Yeah, en me too, me too? And maybe because

136
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.399
I sit here in a small room
talking about it. But and there's a

137
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.720
lot of teams that want to get
in, but at some point it's never

138
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.879
gonna be enough. What do you
think the fan vote? If they asked

139
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.440
the fans to vote, what do
you think the fans would vote? That's

140
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:48.600
a tough question. I'm voting no. So let's say sixty seven sixty eight,

141
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.840
another four, another sixteen. No, no, no, no,

142
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.799
no, I'm just it's going from
sixty. It's really going from sixty four

143
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.200
thirty two, first round five.
No, even if they added sixteen,

144
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.600
no no, no, don't do
it. There's gonna be some special nest

145
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.960
to it, some uniqueness to it. And this is what it is.

146
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.120
Remember when it was forty, Remember
when it was twenty thirty six or whatever

147
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.519
it was. I remember when I
was a kid in thirty two. It

148
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.879
was very Yeah, it was hard
to get in. It was well,

149
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.679
look, Arizona in nine seventy six
lost the UCLA at Hoole over there.

150
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.840
What was it? What was it
there? What was the number back in

151
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.200
seventy five seventy six, when probably
it was probably thirty thirty two if that,

152
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.080
and Usilla was dominated and playing on
their whole court. It's a little

153
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.200
different now, a lot different now. But sixty four is enough? Come

154
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.200
on, how many weeks are going
to be doing these games? I'm votes

155
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.759
for yeah, yeah, and maybe
and maybe it's it's because that is the

156
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.720
older shi older. Okay, So
it's so I think the older people are

157
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.679
gonna say enough, right enough,
young people, are you saying let's do

158
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.919
it. My kid's gonna go,
hell yeah, another round game. Hey,

159
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.679
drafting is gonna go hell yeah,
another round game. But you know

160
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.759
that's thirty two more games you gotta
play. When are you gonna play those?

161
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.919
No, I know you're gonna take
you gonna put them all in the

162
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.440
weekend with the kids, the kids. Yeah right, I would hate that,

163
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.480
Steve. I mean, I know
that they've been talking guy as I

164
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.440
am old um. You know,
I know they've been talking about it,

165
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.879
but I didn't realize that the discussions
were starting to really get serious about So

166
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.399
the metcalf was that camp in Florida, and this was a quote from Izzo.

167
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.279
I just think it's gonna get watered
down. I totally agree with him.

168
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.960
It's of course it's gonna get watered
down. People thought it was getting

169
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.039
watered down at sixty four, but
they, you know, they realized that,

170
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.200
you know the whole They said,
Okay, well, yeah, I

171
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.360
second see how somebody not having a
first round or having a first round by

172
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.200
they're still nervous. This team has
already played, they've got an advantage,

173
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.159
and so they leveled. Yeah,
but you're always looking for scheme. Oh

174
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.799
they're they're gonna be rusty. They
then you come up from rusty till well

175
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.440
rested. There's always these phrases that
heard Denver for being resting for these teams

176
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.559
to show up. No, they
were just a better team. Yeah,

177
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720
game over analyzed. I would not
like that very much at all. Now,

178
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.600
if they did it, am I
gonna watch? Of course, of

179
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.519
course I gotta bet on it,
probably, you know. You know,

180
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.360
I was just you're gonna put out
a bracket with ninety six teams? Yeah,

181
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.840
if you if you were part of
it, though, I was gonna

182
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.279
say something nels uh, if you
were in it and you want it.

183
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.519
But it was sixty four. I
didn't even know how to ask this question.

184
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.799
Right now it's special. Do right
now? It's special? It is,

185
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.399
and not that they would diminish the
special, but right now it's special.

186
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.360
It's perfect right now or as close
to perfect, just because you get

187
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.559
more teams in spacient trophy many participation. We gotta stop that. We do

188
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.919
have to stop that. At some
point, you gave the trophies to the

189
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.759
people that were good for a reason. They were good. Yeah, and

190
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.120
you won, you know, prinstance
shouldn't have been in the tournament last year,

191
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.399
Tommy, he said that I didn't. He said, I'm rubbing not

192
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:16.159

best catcher in the in baseball and got

How are you, DD? I'm
great? Thank you, rasking great

275
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.640
to have you on the show.
You and Felicity Willis are very busy this

276
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.920
summer. We are. We've been
running camps and clinics throughout since school've been

277
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.680
out. And how's that gun?
A lot of a lot of participants,

278
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.960
A lot of participants. We had
a couple of camps over there at Team

279
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.000
of College. I've had some solo
camps in which I collaborated with the Boys

280
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.519
and Girls Club. But you had
great turnouts, a lot of great talent,

281
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.759
and a lot of newcomers as well. So I saw you've got some

282
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.759
coming up at the Gregory School in
mid July. I mean, just tell

283
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.480
us a little bit about what you
know somebody who participates in these camps,

284
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.559
what's the goal for you, right? But what's the goal for them?

285
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.720
Absolutely? As you said, we
do have a camp coming up July tenth

286
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.160
through the fourteenth. It's a week
camp at the Gregory School. The goal

287
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.039
for us it's ultimately to share our
passion of the sport of basketball with use

288
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.000
of the city of Tucson, and
so pretty much for us, we do

289
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.640
a tremendous job of breaking down the
game, the fundamentals of the game.

290
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.480
As we teach all of our assets. You cannot progress in the game if

291
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.359
you don't master the fundamentals. But
the biggest thing when you're working with younger

292
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.880
kids is to also make that learning
fun. And so we do a good

293
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.240
job of providing them those skills and
we allow them the opportunity to have fun.

294
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.799
We're learning those skills, you know, providing competition drills with dribbling and

295
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.759
shooting and passing, and then at
the end we eventually let them you know,

296
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:08.000
team up and put those skills to
work and see how those skills have

297
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.240
transition over to what they've learned to
now actually plan a sport of basketball.

298
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.839
I'm assuming that if you've had a
few of these camps already of the summer,

299
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.079
you see some of the same participants, same young ladies coming back to

300
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:26.559
get better and to get more experience. Yes, not just a young ladies,

301
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.119
but we've had a great turnout of
young men and as well. But

302
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.279
yes, if they continue to follow
you, you're doing something right. But

303
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.480
we had a lot of kids that
are following us, and we continue to

304
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.759
gain new campers as well. So
as now the camp that I'm just looking

305
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.079
at the one for the one that
at the Gregged schol So that's a week

306
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.720
long camp as supposed to a day
or whatever, right, so they'll come

307
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.319
for several days and be able to
man hopefully see some progress. Right.

308
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.480
Absolutely, it's a five day camp. It's four hours each day, and

309
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.119
we have a different agenda said each
stay and in which we want to put

310
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.599
that all together and on that Friday, we want to allow them to compete

311
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.039
and put those skills that they've learned, and hopefully that transition the over to

312
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.839
making their elementary, middle school,
or even high school team, or improving

313
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.319
their playing time and skill sets on
the teams they're already on. So did

314
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.160
he I apologize now, but I
learned a long time ago. I never

315
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.319
asked a woman's age. I'm smarter
out. But you've been out for basketball

316
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.079
for a while here, you're one
of the better players here at you of

317
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.400
a How have you seen the game
progress in your time since you've been gone?

318
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.319
Absolutely, the women's game is certainly
different from the men's game, and

319
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:44.079
the game itself has progressed. It's
becoming faster, the players are becoming stronger.

320
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.599
You have more women out there that
are actually dunking, and there's more

321
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:52.240
opportunities, especially financing for women in
the game. But the game has progressed

322
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.640
in which you're seeing a lot more
talent. It's in a lot of more

323
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.319
girls that wants to get out there
and play, and I think that stams

324
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.839
from the role models that they have
here with the University of Arizona women's basketball

325
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.160
teams. Those girls idolize those those
girls, younger women out there for you

326
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.559
and A and they want to do
it because of the inspiration they receive each

327
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.400
time they are attending games. What
are you of A? And of course

328
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.640
the WNBA with the Phoenix mercery you
have here locally. Wow. And in

329
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.640
saying that in this camp at the
Gregory School, you said, Sam Thomas

330
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.279
is going to be here? Who
you know, I know there's you,

331
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.319
I know, there's Ada and some
other players that have come through Arizona,

332
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.279
but you know, Sam Thomas is
sort of like the most recent face of

333
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.880
the program. And she's you know, continue to be involved in the community.

334
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.799
She's always in a great moved,
always fun to talk to. How

335
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.079
much has she continued to add to
this legacy that some of you guys started

336
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:51.119
here? Oh? Absolutely, Sam
Thomas is fantastic. You know, it's

337
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.240
it's the big thing. You know
a lot of people talk about players and

338
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.400
what they can do on the court, but Sam is it was even more

339
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.599
and he still is he's even more. But of someone that makes an impact

340
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.440
off the court. She has a
tremendous personality. She's a people's person.

341
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.319
She loved relationships. She builds those
relationships and she's always looking to get back.

342
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.680
She has an upcoming camp as well. I believe it's over at the

343
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.720
Sporting Chance in which he again no
longer living in Tucson, she's still giving

344
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.759
back to the city of Tusig that
has done so much for her. But

345
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.319
she's an outstanding person. So I'm
assuming this because you live here, that

346
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.119
you've gone to a few of the
UVA games in the recent past. Is

347
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.680
that true? Absolutely? On the
season ticket holder. Perfect. So there

348
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.400
goes well with my question. Could
you have imagined all this stuff, the

349
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.920
crowds, the sellouts, the craziness
at McHale back in the day you know

350
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:53.039
when you were playing to now it's
just how crazy it's become. Oh absolutely,

351
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.319
I mean, but it's exciting.
It's exciting to play in front of

352
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.799
a hundreds of thousands of people.
But not that you have a fan base.

353
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.000
It's probably the best in the country. I would argue with anyone about

354
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.359
that. But they are encouraging,
you know, they are uplifting and the

355
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.200
women's team in all of our sports
program we have a fan base that it's

356
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.599
loyal and there they will ride with
us anywhere we go, even when we

357
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.839
travel on the road. You know, I go to Vegas or I remember

358
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.480
we went down to Santasonia when our
women made that run. We had a

359
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.160
huge fan base that traveled. Whether
that was fine or getting in a car

360
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.759
and driving wow. So yeah,
I mean it's just it's you know,

361
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.839
it's just gotten. It has gotten
crazy. And I know that, you

362
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.519
know, Arizona always wanted it to
be like that. Always thought if it's

363
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.400
like this for men's basketball, why
can't it be like that for women's Well,

364
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.799
here we are, and I think
that, you know, I think

365
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.359
you know again, players like you
and Adia can can all say that you

366
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.480
had a hand in that. But
uh, it's been it's been fun to

367
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.759
watch. I think as somebody who
grew up here watching this stuff, I

368
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.200
feel like it's just really given,
given two sound, one more thing to

369
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.000
really sink its teeth into. No, absolutely, and it's exciting for our

370
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.599
women's program to thrive and seeing exciting
players such as Aaron McDonald. You know

371
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.960
a lot of people would say when
basketball is boring, but to see excitement

372
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.480
from players such as McDonald's and other
players that will continue to come through our

373
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.200
program. As ad is doing a
good job of recruiting those, you know,

374
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:22.079
exciting players from cities and states such
as Philadelphia. You'll get that the

375
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.079
fans want to see excitement and the
women's game, and that's what she's bringing.

376
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.039
It's a different excitement. You know. I covered the men's for a

377
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.400
long time, and I remember going
there for the I guess the n I

378
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.000
T Semis or the finals, and
I sit there and actaid, there's no

379
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.319
way in the world if someone would
have said to me that this place would

380
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.440
be a sellout for the women's game
twenty years ago, whatever, I would

381
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.359
have said, you're crazy. And
here i was one of the members watching

382
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.279
the game, and I'm thinking,
Holy Molly, look at what this town

383
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.400
has become. And I'm sure when
you probably went to one of those games,

384
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.559
you're thinking, wow, did you
kind of have that sense too?

385
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.240
I surely did, you know,
because the largest fan base they had prior

386
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.240
to recently was our fan base.
That was very loyal, but it was

387
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.440
an exciting atmosphere. Yeah, and
those those fans, they show up early

388
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.279
and they stay to the end,
and that's exciting to see. Right.

389
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.079
So, as as the athlete director
at the US, did you get to

390
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:18.000
see the programs and how they're doing
and get a sense of, you know,

391
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.599
how the how the schools are,
you know, how the players are

392
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.000
getting better or even at the high
school level. Did you look at it

393
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.119
that way or is it kind of
more administrative for you? But you get

394
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.480
to see that piece of it.
So absolutely, I definitely get out to

395
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.319
our games. I try to get
out to our not just our high school

396
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.960
games, to our elementary and our
middle school school games. Not just being

397
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.720
out there. I'll get out there
and I'll direct to track me, you

398
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.000
know, for our middle schools and
our elementaries. But I follow our programs.

399
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:45.960
I'd like to get to know our
coaches by names and by and by

400
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.559
faces instead of by names. And
I'm very active, and so I'm always

401
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:55.000
out in the community visiting our schools
and I'm attending the events. So let

402
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:56.039
me ask you, because I don't
know this, what did you go to

403
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:02.480
school for academically? Oh? Man, where do we start? So I

404
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.200
have a BA in education, I
have a masters in accounting and also have

405
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.039
a masters in finance. So I'm
all over place. Well, okay,

406
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.759
I need you. But my point
is you must be living the good life

407
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.240
because you're working some of that,
right, the education part of it,

408
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:23.400
but living sports, getting to do
that at whatever level you want. I

409
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.200
think I have the best job in
the world being able to be that advocate,

410
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.880
you know. I tell my story
all the time. Athletics saved my

411
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.880
life and I couldn't find a better
job to be able to have that passion

412
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.119
and that experience to be able to
advocate for the UT in Tucson, and

413
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.920
I do it day in and day
out, you know, and it's one

414
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.279
of the great players. You know
ever at Arizona. You know, your

415
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.799
name's up in the rafters and that
How much involvement do you get to have

416
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.359
with the program at Arizona? What
do you get to do? How are

417
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:52.480
you how do you make yourself for
a part of it? Or how do

418
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:57.160
they ask you to be a part
of what's going on over there? Well,

419
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.440
not much, but also we're looking
at my busy schedule. But I

420
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.799
do speak to some of the players
at times. I'm kind of like a

421
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.240
big sisters to a few of them, as well as my teammate and roommate

422
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.000
being yell out of Fessel, who's
pretty much serving on most of the girls

423
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.640
nil deal. She's their representatives,
and so I speak to some of the

424
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.920
girls. I give them whatever advice
I can give them, especially with a

425
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.839
lot of the transitions with the port
or with the NIL deal with all the

426
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.279
transfers, and most of the time
I'm speaking to the girls to stay humble

427
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.279
and to remain positive, and you
know, with players coming in and out,

428
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.960
just you know, stay loyal to
your program, work hard, and

429
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:37.359
although someone else has coming in your
position, you know, you can only

430
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.480
play five players at once, so
show what you can do in the in

431
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.599
the weight room and on the court. But that's pretty much the limited access

432
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.640
I have had with my schedule.
But he is always welcome me. When

433
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.599
I first moved back, we would
go to close practices and different things like

434
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.839
that, and we'll get invited to
things. Well, let's take your rain

435
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.920
a little bit on the NIL and
transfer portal stuff, because it's a whole

436
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.200
different world in college athletics anymore.
And I don't know if you ever envisioned

437
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.519
this, you know, when you
were playing and thought, I wish we

438
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.279
had this, or I wish we
had that. But it's a whole different

439
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.759
ballgame. What do you make of
all that? I you know, how

440
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.319
do you think it's being handled.
Is it good, is it bad?

441
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.519
Doesn't need to be rounded up a
little bit. I mean, what's your

442
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.720
what are your thoughts on all the
stuff that's changing the game right now?

443
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.440
No, absolutely, and I'll speak
my truth. I may upset some folks

444
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.319
out there, but it's not intentional. Um. You know, athletics was

445
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.359
just something different from me. But
I'm not a fan of the portals.

446
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.160
I remember back when, you know, I wasn't happy as a as a

447
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.599
freshman. You know, here you
have ay and you know it was made

448
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.160
because I felt I should have started
day one. But I had to say,

449
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:45.920
you know what, what can I
do? So I had to get

450
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.359
better. I had to prove my
friend. But now players don't have to

451
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.599
do that. They feel they should
be playing, they should have a better

452
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.079
role. They jump in a portal
and leaves. It takes away from some

453
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.200
of the things you learn as an
athlete, you know, and that's the

454
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.400
tendatic, the and that's the work
ethic, and that's the you know,

455
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:08.039
the discipline to get better. But
I think the transport portal's highly driven by

456
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.839
the fact that you can go to
a location that can give you more money.

457
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:17.000
It's not necessary I'm transferring because I
want to better rolled on my team.

458
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.240
A lot of those are inspired by
I want to transfer to this school

459
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.920
because they can offer me more money
than I'm getting at this location. I'm

460
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.880
not a fan of it, and
message with the matriculation of those high school

461
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.720
kids coming out, you know they
decide, well, I'm gonna go to

462
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.960
University of Arkansas because the senior point
guard is leaving, I have an opportunity

463
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.759
to go in and start right away. And then you get there, boom,

464
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.759
there's another kid that's food and grad
from the portal. I am not

465
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.880
a fan of it, but it's
a business and that's my personal opinion.

466
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.079
But everyone has to do what's best
for them. No, I think that

467
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:53.960
we're both in age. There's a
lot of people it's it's wrong. It's

468
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.720
wrong. I think a lot of
people will agree it's wrong and they have

469
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.240
to figure out how to reel it
back right. But they roll them out

470
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:06.319
at the same time. You know, it's transfer portally in nil maybe they

471
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.599
should have did one in any other
but to roll them out at the same

472
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.000
time as a double f sword in
my opinion, but that's just me.

473
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:15.920
Yeah, you're not alone and you're
not alone. It's total chaos out there

474
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:22.759
at Let's talk little quick back about
the camps. How do they find you?

475
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.119
How much does it cost? Stuff
like that? Absolutely? Absolutely great

476
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.960
question. And so we have our
flyers circulating. But if you're not on

477
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:37.000
that list, ser you can follow
my Instagram. That is my handle list

four six one reach out. We
can answer any questions you have. We

483
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:07.400

it's five days, four hours. The

484
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.599
rate is one seventy five and that
includes a T shirt. We have some

485
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.559
cool giveaways. I don't like to
share, but just go with the relationships

486
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.119
Felicity and I have. We got
some cool giveaways that we think any of

487
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.240
you of these fams would like.
Well that's a nice And then and then

488
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:30.400
Sam Thomas will be there part of
that camp right absolutely, we're planning for

489
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.960
Sam to be there. We've confirmed
with her with you know what's going on

490
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.279
with her the same Phoenix Mercury,
but we did confirm with her that she

491
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.359
will be there and she will do
an autograph session and she'll answer any questions

492
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.720
that youth may have, very nice, very nice, real quick too.

493
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:50.039
Do they have opportunities like this when
you were growing up learning how to play?

494
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.839
They did. They had a lot
of opportunities like this, and at

495
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.720
times, you know, you know, we've had some individuals that will offer

496
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.359
sponsorships to those families that you know
that may be in need. I've had

497
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.200
some kids write the letters. Um, you know, we've had those opportunities.

498
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.279
But when I was running up,
we did. I grew up in

499
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:08.800
city of Chicago, and so in
a big city like that as abundance of

500
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.199
opportunities. And that's why we want
to bring this to two Sons. Phoenix

501
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.239
have these opportunities all the time.
There's not a lot of opportunities for girls.

502
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:20.559
So sometimes our camps are strictly just
girls, but we get a lot

503
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:22.440
of acts what about my son?
And so we've run a lot of co

504
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:27.000
ed camps, we have girl camp, but two Soon is blacking on the

505
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:31.119
quality quality camps and in instruction for
girls, and that's what we want to

506
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:35.360
bring to some song. Super Thank
you, Diddy, appreciate it. Thanks

507
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:38.039
a whole bunch of good luck with
the camps. Absolutely, thank you guys

Take a look back at the Ludolson era

518
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.519
in my new book, Lessons from
Loot. It was a labor of love

519
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.000
through the eyes of twenty five former
players, coaches, and friends to give

520
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:20.320
insight to the coach and the man
who led them, competed against them,

521
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.519
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters
for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved

522
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:28.480
coach. Lessons from Loot is an
insight to how he built the program into

523
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:34.079
a national powerhouse. What one email

573
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:06.719
yea where we are. I just
got the found the graphic for that's that

574
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.920
camp that uh Deeed Wheeler and Felicity
Willis are doing. So after the show,

575
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:14.239
will put it up on our social
media. Also put up the graphic

576
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.679
on Justin Spears golf tournament. That
just some stuff to help out, you

577
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:21.880
know, things going on. But
you know what I love about talking Toddy

578
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:25.119
Wheeler is that you know these players
came from somewhere else. She's from Chicago,

579
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:30.039
by Sam Thomas is from Vegas.
You know. Felicity Willis, I

580
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.880
don't know where she's from. If
she's not from two sous. They're here,

581
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:36.559
right, and they're still here.
They came here to go to school,

582
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.599
you know, they made careers here
and they're here and as a bonus,

583
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.079
they're doing stuff, you know,
because of the experience that they had,

584
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.079
that they liked the place enough to
feel like we want to give something

585
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.079
back and that's going. And there's
other players, athletes, you know,

586
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.159
former athletes who are doing that.
So to see the Deed Wheeler, who

587
00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:00.320
was you know, you know,
legend in Arizona, she's here if she's

588
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:05.159
working. She's an athletic sent for
with TUSD, trying to create opportunities for

589
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.159
kids and doing it about taking the
time to do these camps right, right,

590
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:10.119
No, I agree, And there's
a lot of them. There's a

591
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:13.679
lot of them from all ages.
You know, Corey's doing his stuff,

592
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:17.159
and Reggie's here, and and even
Joanell's, Brian Peabody's had a bunch of

593
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.880
camps over Pema, you know,
just everybody's doing this stuff and the thing

594
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.000
and again, well Peabody is from
here, but so many other people.

595
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:27.639
You know, some of these people
are from somewhere else, right, and

596
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:29.719
they feel like, you know,
I like it here. I want to

597
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.440
stay here and I want to do
good things here. They might leave this

598
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:36.199
type of these weeks, these weeks. Wow. Yeah. But as a

599
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.280
guy who loves Tucson, and you
know I do because I was born here,

600
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:45.360
I'm still here. I appreciate the
fact that those people love my town.

601
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.159
I think it's really cool. Yeah. No, it's a good too.

602
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.800
Enough. Did you see the And
I don't know if this was real,

603
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.079
but I saw a tweet about this
that um uh. They were asking

604
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.679
Bradley Biel at his press conference,
what do you want to you know,

605
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:00.519
what do you want to know about
Phoenix? And he said something like when

606
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:06.840
is one hundred and fifteen degree heat? Never? Somebody said, we got

607
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:10.079
bad news for its right, it
is right for the next couple of months.

608
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:14.159
Well, I told you that told
you that story, right, I

609
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:15.400
told you that story. I was. In fact, he was July.

610
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.639
I was. I was in Santa
Fe. Grew up a small town guy.

611
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.920
We're gonna go to issue. As
a going to go to issue.

612
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:28.559
Family took me to Tempee in July
to register, register and spent the day

613
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:30.480
and I'm taking holy crap. And
then and then we're staying in This is

614
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.599
nineteen eighty six eighty seven, So
that's when the temperatures were on hotels,

615
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:38.960
right, oh yeah, And it
said one hundred nineteen and it was ten

616
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:43.679
o'clock. And said, that's physically
not impossible. You know, here's this

617
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:45.719
dumb, dumb kid for Saturday.
I think there's that's something's wrong with that

618
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:49.639
clock. It was eleven o'clock.
It was there's no way it's possible.

619
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:53.320
Guess what, Jay, It's possible. In nineteen eighty nine, I played

620
00:41:53.360 --> 00:42:01.440
thirty six holes on what that day
I remember the oddest day history, understand

621
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:07.280
the history of Fiens. I played
thirty six holes. Are you are well?

622
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:08.320
You know what? Steve was one
of those things where we had gotten

623
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.800
like the special deal out of Gainey
Ranch, which is a really nice place.

624
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:15.960
Almost They said, they said,
you can play twice. Well,

625
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:19.800
we don't want to play eighteen one
day in eighteen The next day we played

626
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.480
all thirty six holes in one day. When you get cancer, they're gonna

627
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:24.840
say, were you one of them
too? That went out there for two

628
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:28.639
rounds of golf. I was only
thirty years old, right, you could

629
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:30.920
hack it. I could hack it. But we played after the after the

630
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.039
after the second eighteen. We come
off the course, we walked through the

631
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.760
pool area center clubs down on the
poles that took off our shoes and jumped

632
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:43.320
in the water. There's no choice. I just I don't remember. I

633
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:45.719
can see it like yesterday, one
hundred, nineteen eleven o'clock, one hundred,

634
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:50.679
whatever it was. That's not possible. Yeah it is. Then again,

635
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:52.840
I spent the summer in Bullhead City, right, it would get to

636
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:54.360
nearly one hundred and thirty over there. Yeah, it was on the one

637
00:42:54.440 --> 00:43:00.760
twenties. I doesn't doesn't make sense. It was it's very hot, very

638
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:05.639
hot. And the water in the
Colorado River, Oh yeah, you couldn't

639
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.159
get in it. So because it
was so it's coming down from the mountain.

640
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.320
It was so cold you couldn't get
in it, but it was so

641
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:14.880
damn hot you wanted to get in
it. Right, it was. It

642
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:20.480
was crazy. Hey, look we've
come to we've come to I'm used to

643
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.440
it, Steve. I mean,
I'm gonna right, Am I gonna playoffice?

644
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:25.519
We can? No, I'm not. But mostly because they got a

645
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:29.679
sugar slows game on. There's no
question we're used to it. But I

646
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.760
think as we get at least for
me. Get I love the heat.

647
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.400
I'd rather be in this than two
degrees or wherever you're my dad, uh,

648
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:40.159
and my dad would we're in a
jacket for now, but it's I

649
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.079
would do this a lord times better. But as I get older, it's

650
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.679
harder. It's harder. It's harder. Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

651
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:53.719
But my dad is my dad was
you. I I like the cold,

652
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:57.039
but not for an extent all the
time. I didn't learn how to

653
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:00.280
ski for that reason. I love
too damn cold. I love skiing,

654
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:01.960
but I would never have wanted to
live somewhere where you gotta deal with snow

655
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:06.000
for multiple days. Welcome. I
like what we get. We get snow

656
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:07.800
and it's gone the next day.
Right, we'd get to playing it,

657
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.840
do whatever, and then we're gone
the next day. Um, you know

658
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.440
going, you know, we'd go
skiing for you know, weekends mostly you

659
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:16.679
know, up in the white mount
stuff. And yeah, but that was

660
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.280
fun to go up there. You
ski you come that, Yeah that doesn't

661
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.199
count because you were there. Oh
got cold but not really cool. And

662
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.079
and I did that thing one time. I went skiing and Mount Lemon in

663
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:30.199
the morning and I went off in
the afternoon. Yeah, welcome to Denver.

664
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:32.119
Yeah, yeah, you could do
that right, you know I'm not,

665
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:37.480
but I'm with you. I can
take the heat. I can't so

666
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:38.880
many more issues with the cold.
You know you gotta wear snow shoes,

667
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:45.199
you got Yeah, you're shoveling snow
and people guard won't start now, people

668
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.719
do that purposely going to get gold. Did you see that Nickols always gonna

669
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.159
home run? I wanted to bring
I'm getting. Yeah. I wanted to

670
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:58.559
play that clip because it wasn't just
a home run. It was but shot

671
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.000
yea of a home run. Yeah, it was a massive shot. Yeah,

672
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:06.840
from the second basement right the morning
after which it had to be tuesday.

673
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.119
He did it Monday and so it
would have been tuesday. I wanted

674
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:13.320
to cut, cut the clip and
play it, and I forgot a big

675
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:17.960
shocker. I forgot something. As
we get older, it's ter forgetting.

676
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.679
It's okay, but you know what, it's catching up with my wife.

677
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:27.199
She's starting to go too. And
then she's like, it's called the jay

678
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.239
disease, just catching up, catch
it up to you, but you know

679
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:36.800
it's it's happening, And I told
her it's it's accelerating for me. I

680
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.440
mean I probably I'm gonna say twice
a day I get up to go do

681
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:42.840
something. By the time I get
there, I forgot what I got up

682
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.480
to do. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. No. You can

683
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:46.400
go through a wall and you can
kind of go through the door. So

684
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:50.119
what was I supposed to do?
Then you have to come back through the

685
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:51.639
door, and they have to go
back and say, oh, yeah,

686
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:57.079
I remember that. I'm getting these
days. I can't stop. I love

687
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:01.920
something, but yeah it away.
Yeah, I won't say where I got

688
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.559
it from. It was good,
all right, Okay, anyway, anyways,

689
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:08.599

692
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:16.920
just talk about being hot. I'm
going to Phoenix for a couple of days.

693
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.039
This is not hot enough for me. Then you can't be bitching about

694
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.480
this. I'm gonna be the hotel, so it's gonna be fun. It

695
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:28.679
is, and then go in.
You know, I hate being in the

696
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:30.239
fire, but I'm gonna go get
in the fire. Give me some medium

697

I'm gonna be indorsed obviously, all right,

699
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:37.639
but yeah, just to get out
of town. I wanted to go

700
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.039
home to eighty two degrees, but
yeah, you know, I didn't want

701
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:44.559
to drive success. I'm an hour
or so. Yeah, and we're done.

702
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:49.119
We're doing Montlem to go. Just
off for the day up a Mount

703
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:51.159
Leon. Wait, there's a fun
thing that goes on up there. And

704
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.199
maybe maybe I'm giving away the secret, but they do this little parade.

705
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:57.840
Oh yeah, yeah, it's really
cool. It's just like a man made

706
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.760
money minute parade. Yeah, just
people who live up there, and we

707
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:04.880
have probably they do. You know, some people just you put on costumes

708
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:07.280
and a walk different things. Those
are the coolest. They're very cool.

709
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:09.559
You just sit down, you know, we will take a picnic up there.

710
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.639
We'll pick nic, we'll sit out
for the parade. We'll go to

711
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.639
the cookie cabin and we'll come down
and get some candy. Yeah, they'll

712
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:21.719
throw they'll toss candy out at you. The bagpipe group comes in and you

713
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.320
know, the fire engines come through
there, and it's just it's just kind

714
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.159
of funny, little community parade like
you would see him, you know,

715
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.159
in a movie in a small town
somewhere, and so we always do that.

716
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.519
And so this is the first year
our grandson. He's you know,

717
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.039
he's six months old. And we
took Adam up there when he was a

718
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:42.440
well a little older than that though, he was a year of change.

719
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.679
Yeah, so we took him up
there as a little kid. And continuing

720
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.880
the tradition. Manns, I don't
think I've been there. Maybe once you

721
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:52.719
go up there much, No,
maybe once ever like Mount lem Yeah,

722
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:54.800
no, I'm not that guy,
you know. But see I'm not that

723
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:58.199
guy either. But you go up
there at this time of the year,

724
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:00.960
You get up there, and you
go, why don't I come up here

725
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:06.119
more often? You really do work
for me. It's because there's something,

726
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.639
you know, we know you left
cabins up there, but we generally go

727
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:14.039
up there, you know, gets
there's a there's a subway sandwich shop at

728
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.559
Kenleena Highway and tank AVERTI just go
up there, get some sandwiches and go

729
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.320
up and go find the places in
the grass it sit down a knee and

730
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.679
then hang out. Well. See
there's we stayed, but my actually I

731
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:30.440
stayed at her employees cabin for a
weekend. I'm just not a I'm not

732
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.480
a camping guy. I grew up
in the No it's so much work.

733
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:37.960
I'm not a camping guy either.
We we go up there, just not

734
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:42.360
good at just. I stopped camping
with my folks as soon as I was

735
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.280
hold enough to say I can't go
because I gotta work. So that was

736
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.800
when I was sixteen. Sorry,
you know I got, I got.

739
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:59.159

and I said, I can't go.

740
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.239
I gotta work work. I didn't
truth. I'm afraid of You're not gonna

741
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:06.840
find it. I'm afraid of snakes. Well that too, I'm definitely.

742
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.079
I'm definitely afraid of fact. In
fact, I bought me a bag of

743
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:16.159
anti rattle snake stuff. They sell
it. They have they have pellets or

744
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.920
the granulars. Can you put them
around your house? Hell? Yeah,

745
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:23.440
the work, it's I haven't seen
the snake. Yeah, oh, I

746
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:29.000
definitely I didn't know that there was. I didn't either until I saw it.

747
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:31.559
It's just a bag of stuff,
bag of pellets. You kind of

748
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.199
spread it around. I know I
had I had one in my house,

749
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.360
but in your house, yeah,
Buck eighteen years oh yeah, yeah,

750
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:44.400
yeah. We had a party.
Apparently we had a party, a citizen

751
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.719
party I think, and people in
the back didn't close the door properly.

752
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:50.719
Three weeks later it was in.
It was a it was about two feet

753
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:53.480
long. And it's a funny story. So I'm, you know, the

754
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:57.719
kids are asleep, the wife's asleep. I'm going through the through the hallway

755
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.639
and I'm kind of going to use
the restroom. And I looked back and

756
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:04.119
there was something in that in the
in the hallway, and I said,

757
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:07.559
damn, kids, put your toy
snakes away. And it started to move.

758
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.320
I almost pop, almost poop my
pants. So I said, hey,

759
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:14.960
I get all right, So no
kids standing in the rooms because you

760
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.960
couldn't do so it went into the
pantry. I got my boots on and

761
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:21.679
put some boots on. This is
like the nine o'clock. Got some golf

762
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.719
clubs. I haven't, And I
jabbed and jabbed and jabbed and jabbed in

763
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:28.119
that pantry until I kind of hoped
that I had gotten at a time or

764
00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:30.639
two. So I pulled everything out
with the glub and he was hanging by

765
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.039
my golf club. You're killed.
Hell yeah, No, I'm not saying

766
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:37.159
I'm not sad that you but I
didn't. I had no YI was either

767
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:44.119
kill you, jabbing and sabb because
I'm not gonna let that run loose,

768
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:45.159
you know what, I would have
moved. And then another time we had

769
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:47.960
one because we have an hrim I
to keep in the house hrim and there

770
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:51.800
was a king snake. It was
a little baby baby one scared the poop

771
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:54.079
out of me. Two two years
later it was a big, biggest living

772
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:57.920
there. So the wife, the
wife at that time, called the fire

773
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.960
department to get it out of the
house. I was not gonna step that

774
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.679
one. Definitely would have moved.
It was it's no, it's scared.

775
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:07.119
You have no idea. I'm gonna
say that. There's a reason we live

776
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:09.960
in neighborhood with a bunch of houses
as opposed to you know, one of

777
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.199
those places in the desert. That's
a that's a that's a reason you know

778
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:20.719
we live there. You know,
there's our house across the street, there's

779
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:27.199
a row houses and behind them,
so that's where they come from For some

780
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:29.599
reason, they don't cross the street. I guess because the street is hot,

781
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.800
right, so all the snakes stay, all the rattlesnakes. We haven't

782
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.800
had a rattlesnake on our side,
on our side of the street that you

783
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.199
know, that we know. But
people on the other side, you know.

784
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:43.639
I was trying to go late out
there. Yeah, we got a

785
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:46.280
couple of weeks. But what the
hell you should go? Look there movie.

786
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:49.480
We can't take the call. Yeah, we can't take your call.

787
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:54.280
Sorry, Oh okay, got about
a minute. No, no stuff.

788
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:58.400
No, I know. I watch
wherever I go because I don't really don't

789
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:01.360
want to step on one. You
know, I works like my site.

790
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:05.079
If I take the trash out at
night, I take a flashlight with me.

791
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:09.760
I'm cautious about this. We did
have a little baby rattlesnake. Those

792
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:13.880
are just as but you know,
on our on our front porch one time.

793
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:17.840
Yeah, okay, maybe, but
those those little those those foot two

794
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:21.880
the baby was. They don't control
the animal. This was a baby baby.

795
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.000
It was like not even a foot
long, maybe six eight inches.

796
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:27.760
I don't know what we're talking about. This killed it with a rake,

797
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.079
yeah, a short line, yeah, a short line. All right,

798
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.880
how do we get into that?
You said you started it. I said

799
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:39.480
you said snakes, snakes trumble.
