WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:06.240 Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez. They have their eye on the ball on two 2 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:12.000 sums sports station, Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming live. I mean I heart 3 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.199 radio. Arm Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball here on Box 4 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.280 Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jay got out Jason with some breaking 5 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:29.679 news the balls. You'll get it, man, You'll get it. Yeah, 6 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.359 okay. USC athletic director Mike Bone resigned today from his position as a 7 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.240 criticisms over management. It's a tough job. Yeah. Well, um, 8 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.640 you know, it came out that he resigned and people are saying, did 9 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.920 he resign or is he retiring or what's he doing? His statement thought he 10 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.159 was well, it was well the announcement from from U um uh, the 11 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.600 USC president said he resigned. Um. So as the day goes on, 12 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.600 Uh, then we get um uh Ryan Carty, who's been on our show. 13 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.280 He covers the USC for the La Times. Um. First he's the 14 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.079 one who broke the story. And then he comes out with the story saying 15 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:18.480 that yesterday he reached out to both Mike Bone and to the USC administration to 16 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.680 get comments about uh not a study, just an examination of the athletic program 17 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:33.560 that aspects of it we're going to be not favorable toward towards Bone. And 18 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.640 then today he resigned. So now there's all the speculation. There's that this 19 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.640 report is coming out that's got all this stuff that Mike Bone might have been 20 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:48.519 Party two, might have done whatever. Um. The firm that did the 21 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:56.200 study or did the report was led by a lawyer whose specialty is sexual harassment 22 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.040 abuse. Uh, you know, cultural diversity issues YadA, yadda YadA in 23 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.400 large organizations. So obviously the speculation has become is that something is about to 24 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.319 come out about stuff that's going on in the USCCENE. That program. So 25 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.280 that program for years now has been almost um, not unbearable, but tough 26 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.360 to deal with. Right. Tell me, you know when when Mike McGee 27 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.479 was there and then Lynn Swan was there as ads, they just went and 28 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.479 got these former legendary athletes to come and run and it was run awfully. 29 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.800 Um, a lot of bad things going on. The program went completely into 30 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.800 the tank with Lynn Swann as as the guy. Um, you know, 31 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.319 so Mike Bone apparently you know, I mean he came, he got Lincoln 32 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.840 Riley to me, he's the guy that came to your party, set the 33 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.840 house on fire, and then left right Mike Bone because he came in, 34 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.240 you know, he got to you know, he gets the USC into the 35 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.919 Big ten, creates all this chaos. Um, and now he leaves before 36 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.080 us even goes to the Big Well, I thought you you could be describing 37 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.639 the last Pack twelve commissioner. Wow, that there was that too, But 38 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.680 no, you're you're right now he started this or I'm wondering when all this 39 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.759 was happening when you were talking about it to me earlier. Um, how 40 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.680 and this is not likely. How USC and UCLA may come to a point 41 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.439 of regretting the move minus the money, because you know, you go for 42 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.039 money and you say, oh, they're sparked, the sparks, the sparkles 43 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.120 and the and the fun, and then you think you get here and you 44 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.080 take was it really? But then you put it into operations. Steve, 45 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.879 We've been saying that all along. Wait until they have to start doing this, 46 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.080 and let's see how much they like it. Yeah, you know, 47 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.960 and and again these guys I listened to Pat Forty and Ross Dallinger, Dan 48 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.319 Wentz, we're having a conversation about this in the context of what went on 49 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.280 at the ACC this week there were seven teams. It said, we want 50 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.439 more money or we're gonna probably lead, you know, And and they're saying, 51 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:58.240 why would North Carolina want to blow up all the tradition, the everything 52 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.879 that Scott would Duke and North Carolina State and you know, basketball and all 53 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.199 this stuff for fifteen ten million dollars more? You know how why would they 54 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.840 want to do that? And it's the same kind of USC and UCLA blew 55 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.399 up the Pac twelve for the money, for the money to here without even 56 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.920 thinking, Okay, it may be fine for football and basketball because they may 57 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.240 be able to manage the travel because they'll chart it all that stuff, But 58 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.240 what about everybody else? I hear you. I mean, the money is 59 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.879 talking, and it's always gonna talk. But eventually you get there and say, 60 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.360 you know what, the grass is not as green. Well, we'll 61 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.720 see how much they like it. Well again, we'll see how competitive there 62 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.800 their sports remain or are. I mean, look, you, UCLA hasn't 63 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.240 been good in football in a long time. Where did bone come from? 64 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.199 Where do you go? Where do you come from to get come? Um 65 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.480 that I don't know, I can look that up real quick. But you 66 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:57.600 know. I mean, the grass can't always be greener. And the step 67 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.879 that that that that the uh USC and ucl LA you're taking, that's crazy. 68 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.600 Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, Jason, let's go okay.

Carl scoop In, Ali Skaggs, al Blaze Brigner, Dakota Kennedy, 132 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.759 and Olivia DiNardo all earned second All Team West honors. So they have 133 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.360 talent on the players. They just could get a pist. They had no 134 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:13.679 pitching, pitching bad, pitching bad. Yeah.

Yeah, 140 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.480 though I can appreciate that the NBA is considering changing it's All Star for 141 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.320 All Star game format from the current player draft to the Eastern versus West conference, 142 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.360 um, amongst other concepts they're still discussing. Um, but yeah, 143 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.159 they're looking to change the format. So this should just kill the game, 144 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.360 I think, yeah, do you watch it? I didn't want watch this 145 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.360 past years, but I sometimes do watch it. Yeah, just because it's 146 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.440 kind of cool to see all the you know, best players in the league 147 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.799 come together, you know, kind of just you know, yeah, I 148 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.679 mean it's kind of cool because you know, it's rare to kind of see 149 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.200 all them in one like game together. Right, So it's good for fans. 150 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.320 Nothing too serious, So yeah, UM's so what else? Uh? 151 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.159 San Diego Stage University concluded Friday that there are no findings against the former Buffalo 152 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.080 Bills punter matter reason, a master conducting any investigation into the allegations of the 153 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.320 you know, um sexual that we talked about that a number of times. 154 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.039 That hold just how crushing it is for your career or your reputation when this 155 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.159 happens, whether it happened or didn't. Because there's still an ugoing investigation, 156 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.720 Civilly Civilly, and now his career's toast, right, maybe you know it 157 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.559 is somebody gonna go get him. I don't think they will until something is 158 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.440 resolved with the civiliz. But then it's like, well, he was a 159 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.919 punter. There's gonna be another punter like him, come along. Yeah, 160 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.919 you know, but they spent a lot of time with him, so and 161 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.080 it drafted him. It was a good player. Yeah, so yeah, 162 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.080 it's unfortunately it's tough, all right. Reporting back on women's golf. Um, 163 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.639 some teams are still out on the course. Arizona shot a four over 164 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.759 par today. That puts them as of now tied for fourteenth.

Then there's a pilot of teams between three under and four under and 167 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.240 four over. So. Um, but there's currently in fourteenth place, you 168 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.080 know, um, not out of it, but they got to play better 169 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.039 for sure. Okay, Um, well that's all the breaking is. I've 170 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.720 I have So, Steve, did you did you in your days of playing 171 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.080 baseball, whether it was high school or whatever? How many home runs did 172 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.200 you hit over the fan on a big field? Did you hit anything? 173 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.840 I was a double in a single hitter. Yeah, I was a double 174 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.360 in a single hitter. Aaron Judge just hit seven homers and seven today. 175 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.480 Yes, yeah, he's on a tear. I saw seven homers and seven 176 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.600 day. Yeah yeah I saw that yesterday when he had six. Uh. 177 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.879 Yeah, he's a huge dude, is this Stanton still up? I probably 178 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.279 the guy never played yeah, because yeah, no, this dude's unbelievable. 179 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.279 M seven homers, yeah, question zero. I hit one in the Little 180 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.000 league like it was a twelve year old and a few was a twelve year 181 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.440 old. UM Pima Baseball is down seven five in the bottom of the seventh 182 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.279 to UH to Salt Lake Community College UH in their winners bracket game in the 183 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:45.240 in the District West District Tournament of the Junior College Baseball Tournament. So UM 184 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.279 Scottie Sheffer leads is tied for the first in the in the PGA Championship at 185 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.440 minus five. He's sort of the odds on favor to win. That damn 186 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.399 thing makes me mad. My boy, Xander Shafley, um got close, 187 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.480 he got near, he almost got to even par and then he yeah, 188 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.279 it's one of those things. I'm I got up and he Shoffling is one 189 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.000 of the early early players. So I turned on the TV and he's getting 190 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.639 ready to hit a ball, and they showed a score up in the corner 191 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.919 and he's one over par. Well. He he was far over at one 192 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.120 point yesterday. So I'm like, all right, he's back in this that 193 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.039 hole he bogied. He missed like a the proverbial two foot pot. It 194 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.399 was like a four foot pot. He lips it, gets a bogie and 195 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.519 then double bogie's the next hole. Did what I did, hit it into 196 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.799 the sand and didn't get it out on the first try. I'm like, 197 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.519 I can do that. I can do that, And so he ended up 198 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.200 four. He's back to four over today. So he's a fifty first. 199 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.720 And finally, I guess a governor wants the Coyotes to go to their state 200 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.879 if nobody wants him here or apparently well tamp doesn't want him, right they 201 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.919 they voted that if you have no place to go, on him here. 202 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.840 Right now, they're playing in a in a in a not even a minor 203 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.600 league arena. They're playing in a five thousand seat a su hockey arena, 204 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.879 college hockey arena um. And so yeah, I mean, I can't imagine 205 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.399 that they're gonna stay in because where are they gonna go. They're not gonna 206 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.440 go back to Hila River, right They're not going over to the Footprints Center 207 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.120 where the where the uh the suns are? That was the whole reason they 208 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.320 built the arena down and down in Glendale and then they went over there, 209 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.360 so I can't imagine where they're going to go. They say they're looking for 210 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.600 another place. Somebody throughout the idea of going over to wild Horse Pass, 211 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.399 you know right there, the two O two and the ten that the casino, 212 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.159 and tell them because they're planning this huge entertainment, some build an arena 213 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.960 there and they'll coming place. So I don't know. The hockey in Arizona 214 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.440 just never really made sense to me.

So, Jake, I don't know if you've heard Jim Brown, 274 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.720 Hall of Famer, all time great running back died. You know, we 275 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.000 were talking about who were the icons of our time? And even Jim Brown 276 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.279 was even a little bit before my time. But who are some of the 277 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.319 guys that are in the Jim Brown category? For you? You're what, 278 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.359 you're thirty two, thirty three?

And whatever? 282 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.240 Sport? Basketball? I would say Lebron and Kobe. That's a really 283 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.119 good one, just because I was I don't really remember, you know, 284 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.680 getting to watch Jordan play in the peak of his you know, his career 285 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.680 play. I was, you know, I was basically, yeah a fell 286 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.680 though six championships, I was, you know, between two and seven, 287 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.960 so you know, I didn't really get to watch it and actually comprehend it 288 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.799 necessarily when it comes to football and my guy Gronk, I mean I got 289 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.640 to, I got to, you know, watch the greatest tight end ever 290 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.559 in the history of the NFL, and he was, you know, at 291 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.279 practice with me. Um, and then I obviously we saw what he did 292 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.240 when he went to the Patriots. But um, a guy Tom Brady, 293 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.119 you know, just guys like that, Peyton Manning, those guys are all 294 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.559 awesome. And then you know, obviously Jim Brown with the off the field 295 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.920 stuff, I mean he was he was an icon as well. So, 296 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.680 um yeah, I mean that's that he passed away. He lived a hell 297 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.839 of a life though, he sure did. He did a lot of stuff. 298 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.720 Sure yeah he did. Yeah, anything in baseball probably not. Did 299 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.720 you see that your guy, Uh, I think he's a friend of Matthews, 300 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.480 is it Matthews from from your area, played linebacker. I guess at 301 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.880 uve. Um, yeah, it's gonna be good doctor pretty soon. Yeah. 302 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.640 I mean I don't even know if the dude sleeves. I mean, 303 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.839 he always had the best grades. You know, he was a hard worker. 304 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.200 And it's nice because you know, obviously he went to uh Ironwood Ridge 305 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.759 and then I got to, you know, play a season with him at 306 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.440 the UVA. So and he got to go to the fiestable. I mean, 307 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.839 what hasn't the guy gotten to do it? That's pretty cool. So 308 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.200 people are born with it, right. You know who who was it was 309 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:30.160 the aerospace engineer that played David Roberts. Dave Roberts. Yeah, yeah, 310 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.519 Matthews. So his churst name Jake, Jake Matthews. Okay, yeah. 311 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.440 He was a smart dude. Yeah, and then he's just I'm done with 312 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.359 this. Yeah yeah. And he's also a really good dude. So not 313 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.279 only was he smart, hard working, but he's a really good dude as 314 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.359 well. And he comes from a good family. Cool all right. So 315 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.240 the other big news of the day, and again I told Steve, I 316 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.359 said, this is this is the guy that comes to your house party, 317 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.119 sets the place on fire and then leaves before the fire engines get there. 318 00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:03.720 Mike Bone, the athletic director USC who engineered then moving to the Big Ten, 319 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.119 has resigned. He's leaving USC before US even gets to the Big Ten. 320 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.160 I mean, what kind of crap is that. It's almost like he 321 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.279 went into uh, you know, to make a big splash and then retire, 322 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.400 you know. I mean, heck, I understand leaving the conference because 323 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.839 you're gonna get a lot more money, but I mean, dang, it's 324 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.599 gonna suck not having the LA schools in the pack. Yeah. Absolutely, 325 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.480 Yeah, this is I posed this question to Jam. At some point, 326 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.960 do you think that at some point that they'll say, you know, what 327 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.200 the hell do we just do? We had it made where we were, 328 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.359 Why do we move over here? I'm not sure. I think the brand 329 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.160 for SC football and the brand for UCLA basketball is going to be okay, 330 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.519 but I mean, man, having to travel like to play Rutgers, I 331 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.480 mean that's gonna suck. I just you know, you have the LA schools, 332 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.279 and normally I think that folks from LA because they have such perfect weather 333 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.400 growing up, you know, watching them have to play out of Rutgers and 334 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.759 it's going to be you know, Chili is gonna be ice cold. I 335 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.839 just don't know how that's gonna fair for those guys. But you know, 336 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.759 I think in basketball, UCLA's gonna be fine. Football, SC's gonna be 337 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.559 fine. They're still gonna be able to recruit the heck out of Southern California. 338 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.559 And who knows, it's going to be more of a national brand now 339 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:17.960 because they're going to be in a bunch of other, you know, different 340 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.440 parts of the country when they're playing, So it may even boost recruiting. 341 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:25.000 Because I didn't cover you when you played the full time, Um, what 342 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.480 was the what was the travel like for you? Where did you absolutely hate 343 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.880 to wake up and say, oh God, we've got to go here today? 344 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.720 Utah, maybe you know because I had a I had a couple of 345 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.759 cracked ribs and I had to wear you know, one of those uh one 346 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.880 of those chess guards or whatever, and it's like super uncomfortable. And then 347 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.200 we get there and it's like, you know, there's like fleet and it's 348 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.839 just cold, and you know, every time you get hit in the ribs 349 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:53.000 and it's that cold out, you lose your breath and it's like trying you 350 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.720 know, plus they had a lot of really good players that year. And 351 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.160 um, you know, I think the other one that I just hated going 352 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.720 to would probably be organ as well, because there are a couple of times 353 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.359 we played there where it was snowing. It just you know, before it 354 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.720 would hit the ground, it would turn into water and just you know, 355 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.960 but it was just always so cold up there. I would say one of 356 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:15.240 the cooler places to play, though, you go up to the University of 357 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.160 Washington. The only time I hated going there was my senior year because if 358 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.359 there's a to do, like a time lapse of what the rain looked like 359 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.640 and people had to take off their visors because the rain was so it was 360 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.480 coming down so hard and the wind was blowing it right in your face and 361 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.000 you can only see, you know, ten to sixteen yards in front of 362 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:34.920 you. Well, let's talk a little bit about the travel jake, because 363 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.119 you know, that's been such a big topic because of this move by the 364 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.440 school. So a football team. I think people don't realize it's it's a 365 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.319 it's a commando raid, right. You fly in the day before you play, 366 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.160 and because you're chartering, you come home after the game. But even 367 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.440 that has to be hard. And then if you think about USC having to 368 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.160 go to as you say, Rutgers or Penn State or even you know, 369 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.920 Ohio State, I mean, how hard is the travel even when you consider 370 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.839 that you you know, going to UCLA or USC wasn't that far. I 371 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.119 mean, but it's still not fun, right, Well, it's it's entirely 372 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.319 a business trip. I mean, you don't have time to do really anything 373 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.839 yourself. And then as soon as you get done with a game, you 374 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.440 know, like I remember vividly after one of our organ games. I swear 375 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.920 I might have been concussed, and we had to wait at the airport because 376 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.480 the plane I was supposed to come in and get us the re engine failure, 377 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.839 so they had to bring another plane from Phoenix. I think it was 378 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.519 Phoenix anyway. So we were in the airport three or four hours and my 379 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.440 head is just pounding and the lights just killing me. And then we don't 380 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.799 get back to campus until like four am. And then you have to turn 381 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.960 around and you still have to just you know, school work to do, 382 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.039 might have some sort of cram course, teaket to the next day. It's 383 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.880 just it's sometimes the flights and just the schedules in general suck. Yeah, 384 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.119 No one talks about that part of the job exactly, No, seriously, 385 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.079 I mean it is you know. I mean I got a chance to go 386 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.319 on a you know, on the team plane for a as a as a 387 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:12.160 quote unquote booster to Oregon State, right, and yep, we fly home 388 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:18.240 after the game. We we got we walked into our into our house at 389 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.079 six o'clock in the morning, and I'm like, yeah, I'm like no, 390 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.759 I you know, I wouldn't want to I would want to do this, 391 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.599 you know, five or six times a year. Yeah, that organ 392 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.319 trip. When we landed, the sun was coming up. Yeah, yeah, 393 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:36.359 yeah, I mean yeah. And for the freshman it's even worse because 394 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:40.640 they're gonna have you know, tutors and stuff that day between you know, 395 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.680 ten and two, so it's like you maybe get a couple of hours of 396 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:47.160 sleep. You're all beat up, and you know, like me, I 397 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.559 had to do it and my head was pounding the entire time. So you 398 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.440 know, it's just it's not fun all the time, and you're not even 399 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.960 making it and il money exactly right, right, Yeah, And it was 400 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.440 after a loss, like you can put up with it, but after a 401 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.400 Telby when you when you lose, then you have to go to that crapt 402 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.720 suck. But I mean, let's take your example. Let's say you play 403 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.440 Penn State. You play him at best case scenario, you play him at 404 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.279 one o'clock in the afternoon. Penn State time, game is done, you're 405 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.119 done at five. You head to the airport at six oh no, so 406 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:21.599 about seven maybe seven seven o'clock you get on a plane. So that's four 407 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.880 o'clock you know, local time. And then so you know what a five 408 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.319 hour flight you know, I mean you're getting home at midnight. That's a 409 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.119 good and that's it. That's if it's a day game. Right, Let's 410 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.359 say you play one of those night games out there. Holy hell? Oh 411 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:38.920 yeah no. The travels no joke. And you know, to be one 412 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.640 off with you, I really don't feel bad for those schools that are going 413 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.440 to be traveling now, just because, like I said, they get to 414 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.319 get and I owe money. They left for more money. So you know, 415 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.400 good writtens have fun traveling the Rutgers and playing in the snow. So 416 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.279 Jake, you're a realistic dude. I've known you for a long time. 417 00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.599 So at what point after your season because I know you you probably want you 418 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.519 to come, you know here though the NFL that you said, you know, 419 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:08.119 Okay, my time is coming gout and I can move forward, you 420 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.000 know what. I kind of knew as soon as the draft came and went. 421 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.599 I had a couple of teams that I'm not going to name them, 422 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.759 but they are now my two or three release favorite teams. I roved against 423 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.319 them all the time. But I had a knee surgery right after the bowl 424 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.839 game when we were down in shree Sport. Two days later, I got 425 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.839 my knee worked on. The first time I was able to actually run, 426 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.559 or that I tried running was literally the day of our combine. Like it 427 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.880 sucked. I couldn't do anything, you know, during the offseason. I 428 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.680 couldn't go get working with any of the coaches, couldn't do any of that. 429 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.319 So as soon as I ran like what I ran, because it was 430 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.480 the first time that I had run since my knee surgery, I was like, 431 00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.599 oh, yeah, I didn't do well enough, They're not going to 432 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.880 call me back. And then it appears, you know, like like I 433 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.079 said, a couple of teams after that they said they were gonna, you 434 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.640 know, draft me in the sixth round if I was still rounded, you 435 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.200 know, none of that happened. And then, you know, a lot 436 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.160 of the h a lot of the phone calls and the tech messages and stuff 437 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.519 with my agent started to fall off a little bit, and so I told 438 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:08.359 him I saw the writing on the wall. You know, I was just 439 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.359 going to go ahead and and move on and start trying to make some money 440 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:17.119 and go from there. Yeah stuff, Yeah, no, it is it? 441 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:19.480 Was it hard? Or was it kind of like? Okay, I'm 442 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.000 done? I mean, how tough was it? It's hard. I've been 443 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.920 playing tackle football since I was seven years old, so of course it was 444 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.160 hard. You know, It's like that's something that literally your whole life revolves 445 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.680 around for all of that time, right. The only reason why I, 446 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:37.440 you know, went to college was because of football, and so it's just, 447 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.960 you know, it was just time for it to you, uh, 448 00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.400 you know, move on to the next chapter. Now you sit by the 449 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.480 pool with a nice old dog and a great wife. Blow is me absolutely 450 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:55.240 absolutely love you? All right? So you pay much attention to the NBA, 451 00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.480 sorry to say that more time paying. Are you paying much attention to 452 00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.440 the NBA? Yph No, Whenever whenever they get to this, Like I'm 453 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.720 the guy, and you can ask my buddy that. You know, he's 454 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.519 over at the house right now. If I watched the game, whoever, 455 00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.480 I want to win. You know, during the NBA season never wins. 456 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.559 So like I'm sitting here like I'm gonna jeameson if I turn on the game, 457 00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.000 and I'm like, you know, I'm stuck to the phone watching just 458 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.000 I would like to see Lebron get one more. To be honest with you, 459 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.200 I think that Yo Kitch is gonna be the face of the league for 460 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.920 the next five, six, seven years, So I know he'll get one 461 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.000 eventually, but I'd like to see him. You know, I think it 462 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.240 Flit's not right right now. I mean, it just doesn't look the same, 463 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.200 um, But I want to see him get one more. I want 464 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.640 to see him go against the Heat again in the in the finals. And 465 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:47.319 lastly, maybe uh Tommy Lloyd and criticized all this time he can't get recruits, 466 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.200 can't get recruits. He got a couple of Europeans and may maybe might 467 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.559 get to send a Yo State kid. You have to get the same year 468 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.400 the State kid. I mean, if you look at the whole you know, 469 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.359 roster or going to be more athletic. We're gonna be bigger, We're 470 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.079 gonna be tougher. We're not going to get bounced out by Princeton again because 471 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.160 you know, we don't have guys that can get in the lane. So 472 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:13.119 you know, now you're going to have decent shooting. We're gonna have toughness, 473 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.440 rebounding, athleticism. And I like the two guard lineup because both of 474 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.640 those guys are pitbulls. So and then you know, you gotta remember the 475 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:22.960 guys that are coming back from last year, They're only going to get better. 476 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.319 And I mean, if we can get one more shooter or one more 477 00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:29.680 wing in there, you know, I like the roster. I think the 478 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.960 only team that's really going to give us any trouble next year, and I 479 00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.240 think that we're still going to beat them because we have better coaching. Is 480 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.759 that c But you know we're not going to be getting beat you know, 481 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.920 one hundred to ninety five anymore. I think they're We're still going to be 482 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:45.680 able to score, but I think we're gonna be able to lock people up. 483 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:49.759 I realistically, if they get the kid from San Diego State, I 484 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.680 mean it could be a top you know, fifteen defense and then remember how 485 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:57.839 fast they run. So I mean we might be putting up better numbers next 486 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:00.000 year, but we might be holding people to a lot less. Okay, 487 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.799 all right, like the sound of that, Jake, mister love that be 488 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.279 Well, take your vacation, all right, buddy, Thank you guys, 489 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:13.279 thanks much.

Icon's grown up O 614 00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:21.239 J and Muhammad Al. I think Muhammad Yeah, so you know who it 615 00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.880 is that Muhammad Ali, of course, of course J. Yeah. Until 616 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:27.719 recently. You know, it's funny because I think we've talked about this before, 617 00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.320 but you know, when Muhammad Ali first became Muhammad Ali and all the 618 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.679 antics that came with that, I didn't like. He was not he was 619 00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.760 not a guy. I didn't like that. I didn't like the taunting and 620 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:40.639 I felt like and even at that age for me, which would have been 621 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.440 in the you know, i'd been in you know, eight ten, twelve 622 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.440 years old, you know, I didn't like that. I didn't like the 623 00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:51.920 what I saw I thought was disrespect when really he was just trying to put 624 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.400 on a show. Yeah, right, and and and he was putting on 625 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:58.599 a show, and obviously it worked, you know, what he did to 626 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.679 make himself the the the icon that he became. And then I do remember 627 00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:06.920 watching I do I vividly remember watching O. J. Simpson play. Yeah 628 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.280 you know I'm watching, remember watching play at USC watching play for the Bills 629 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.639 the year that he went for two thousand yards and in the whole bit. 630 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.880 Um, so you know, I you know, those are two guys. 631 00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:23.400 Although those guys, they weren't my favorite guys. I consider them icons of 632 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:28.760 the period. But neither one of those guys were like my favorite athlete. 633 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.280 I'll give you my three just because you do not gonna ask me. Muhammad, 634 00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:36.880 Yeah, guess as a kid, uh basketball, doctor J Baseball, 635 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.000 Pete Rose, Pete Rose, I want to I want to see maybe Johnny 636 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:44.000 Bench now because Pete Rose I don't like anymore, but Pete Rose. Those 637 00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:45.960 three guys, yeah yeah, And my guys were again as as with you, 638 00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:49.119 you know, tied to the to the Dodgers. I loved guy. 639 00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.480 You know, Sandy Kofax, very first Dodger game I ever went to as 640 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:54.360 a kid, I saw Sandy Kofax pitch and I was, you know, 641 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.599 disappointed. I mean, I was only seven years old when he played his 642 00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.159 last season, but I remember watching him and I remember hearing him on the 643 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:07.920 radio and all that. Um Johnny Unitis I mentioned that before. Um, 644 00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:10.920 you know, he played into the early seventies quarterback for the Colts, won 645 00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:15.559 a Super Bowl but lost it probably the biggest loss in the Super Bowl ever 646 00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.159 when they lost to the Jets, and that ultimately led to what the NFL. 647 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:24.039 Yeah, sixty nine. So there was the only time that I can 648 00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:31.239 remember crying at the result of a sporting event. I actually cried after the 649 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:35.239 after the Colts lost to the Jets. Well, you couldn't cry too many 650 00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.440 times after the Dodgers didn't give you one for thirty three years. No, 651 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.000 I didn't. Well I know, but I mean even when they went to 652 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:43.719 some World Series they just didn't win. But I didn't cry after any of 653 00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:45.760 those, you know, and I was young. I mean, they were 654 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:51.679 in this World Series in sixty five, sixty six, seventy three. Anybody 655 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:57.760 anybody in basketball, Um, I'm like, I loved watching Doctor J Michael 656 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.760 Jordan, but that that was when I was a little older, younger in 657 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:05.039 basketball probably not. I love the Harlem Globetrotter. I thought those guys were 658 00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:07.320 cool when when I saw them at the arena. Curly Yeah, Curly Neil 659 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:10.639 and Merril Arts Lemon and those guys. I watched their cartoon at But those 660 00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:15.239 guys were just fun to watch. They weren't like icons to me in terms 661 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:19.679 of you know, great athletes that I loved watching them win championships and things 662 00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.480 like that. Um, you know, I Lee Trevino, I loved watching 663 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.599 him golf. I would sit down and watch Lee Trevino play golf, you 664 00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:30.000 know, uh back because he reminded me so much my dad. Yeah, 665 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:34.119 yeah, yeah, yeah, funny guy.

So early last 695 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:19.719 week or last week, she she has a big screen TV. I just 696 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:22.400 get it from Christmas or whatever, and she she had two dudes bringing her 697 00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:27.920 on one of those old TVs, like a twenty thirty inch TV big box. 698 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.360 When I'm thinking, Mom, what are you doing?

I don't even work anymore 702 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:42.880 because you don't have to cook at the K because it's gonna be like a 703 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.480 flower plant. Now, I mean, what the hell? You know, 704 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.199 when you get older, you want these old things because it remind you of 705 00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.360 the good old days.

What are you gonna do with it? 707 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.880 So it's in her ports sitting there, and I'm thinking, oh god, 708 00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:01.000 now I'll have to find a way to get rid of it. Honestly, 709 00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.320 I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what to tell 710 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.920 you.

Oh god, Oh here's 718 00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:37.960 oh, here's called my brother. My brother just sent over a picture of 719 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:43.159 himself with doctor j At. I'm sure it's a pact off tournament or yeah, 720 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.119 yeah, I think it's pack off tournament. I got my son Adam 721 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.000 and I probably the same tournament. We got a picture of doctor j H 722 00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:52.960 in the hallway that he was there that year. Fantastic kid was in the 723 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:58.880 skid plain. I don't I don't remember. I don't remember it sometimes because 724 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.000 he's older than us, so his son would be Yeah, I don't know, 725 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:07.239 I don't know. Doctor Good. Yeah again, I mean that that 726 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:12.239 guy was different. Oh yeah, he was Jordan before Jordan was Jordan. 727 00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.880 There was. It was awesome. There's a this picture keeps getting posted on 728 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:20.159 Twitter. It's an overhead shot of the basket, okay, and it's that 729 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:23.559 one lay up where he liked underneath underneath the basket and he's like he's in 730 00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:30.400 the air, his head is about even with the backboard, his hand is 731 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.199 sticking out holding the ball. The ball is essentially out of bounds. There's 732 00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.960 three guys in his way, and yet he made that goes to be a 733 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:42.559 reverse lay up on that and the pick. The caption on the picture says, 734 00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:46.079 look at this picture and imagine that doctor j made this shot and that 735 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:49.840 it goes in. Yeah, just like his one where he goes in on 736 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:54.599 the breakaway. Yeah. Yeah. I mean he was Michael Jordan before. 737 00:49:54.599 --> 00:50:00.119 Michael Jordan was again a guy that a guy that you would sit down and 738 00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:06.199 watch him play. In fact, I'll ask we have four minute of stuff 739 00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:09.320 to who and I probably talked about this before, who's the guy? Not 740 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:15.320 now that you would have paid to go see play in any sports and spent 741 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.039 some money to get the ticket, you get a ticket. I wouldn't done 742 00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.880 that to go see Jordan play. And I never had a chance to do 743 00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:24.440 that. Yeah. I spent a lot of time with I mean Steve Kerry, 744 00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:27.800 Yeah, I mean he you know, he came through Phoenix with Chicago 745 00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.320 and stuff, and I wasn't interested enough to go see him. But I 746 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:35.360 kind of kicked myself and there was a there was a thing on Twitter about 747 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:43.320 that name an entertainment or sports figure that you kick yourself for not ever seen 748 00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:49.159 or an event of not ever ever seeing. What about you? Oh? 749 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.679 For me, probably Lebron. I've never seen Lebron live before. I was 750 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.519 in many NBA key games not doing well. Took all those three. Every 751 00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:00.360 time he took a three last I said, please take another one, Please 752 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.199 take another one. Yea, his legs are gone right now. It were 753 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.400 a louds to night. So those threes were just like you know, front 754 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.239 Ram side of the rim. Yeah. The last time I paid decent money 755 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:14.440 to go see somebody that I was just in town with the buddy was Nolan 756 00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.639 Ryan a few years back, where you know, it was just one of 757 00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:20.440 those things that you never know what he was gonna come up with. Yeah, 758 00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:22.440 because he could have thrown a no hit. No, I you know 759 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:27.079 what I I I that's a good that's a good one because I built a 760 00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:34.039 summer around a Dodger game. The Dodgers were gonna play the Astros, and 761 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.320 you know I was built my summer around this game. Well it just so 762 00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:43.119 happened that it lined up and Nolan Ryan threw against Fernando No really, yeah, 763 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.880 wow, that was I mean, it was like, man, did 764 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:47.360 you keep the program? You don't do that? I do I just do 765 00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.679 stuff like that. No, I don't have that. That would have been 766 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:52.280 fun. But you know, we sat, we were in the front row 767 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:57.519 in the upper deck at Dodger stating behind home play where you could see how 768 00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:01.079 hard Nolan ry through and you could see how hard Fernando did not. But 769 00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:05.559 you saw a screwball. Yeah, and that was that was That was. 770 00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:08.000 That was a one of those games that I wish I would have lasted three 771 00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:14.400 hours. Eighty four eighty five. Yeah, I think I'm gonna say. 772 00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:19.199 I'm gonna say nineteen eighty him before he started beating up on Pictures, Young 773 00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:22.760 Pictures. Yeah, I was before um um um um. I know the 774 00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:29.920 name, but he was the White sox um. Robin Ventre beat the hell 775 00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:34.960 out. Robin Ventur had the gold Church against Nolan Ryan. But that that 776 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:37.239 was one, but you know, going to an entertainment. One, Earth 777 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:45.360 Wind and Fire came to Phoenix like in nineteen seventies nine, and it was 778 00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.679 when Maury S. White was still with the band, and I didn't go 779 00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.840 see him. I didn't have the money to go see him. I think 780 00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:52.719 tickets for like twenty bucks. But it was in Phoenix, and you know, 781 00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:54.639 I was in college, didn't have the money to go go to that. 782 00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:58.800 But I thought he'll be back or they'll be back, and they never 783 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:00.840 came back with him when he was still with the band. First time I 784 00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:04.679 started Winning Fire, he no longer was with Philip Billy and with it was 785 00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.840 Philip Bill and I actually went to saw him in Phoenix because I was growing 786 00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:09.519 up now and I had money, and yeah, we'll never got to see 787 00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:14.800 with more fla. Yeah, that's that's one that I kicked myself for. 788 00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:16.719 And the other one is I had a ticket to Game seven of the two 789 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:21.440 thousand and one World Series and I didn't go because I had worked the Red 790 00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:24.639 Blue game. Okay, I gave my Game one to my friends. I 791 00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:28.920 went to Game one of that. I had a ticket to Game seven and 792 00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.679 did not.
