00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.040
state doesn't. So they'll they'll they'll
get things going. So you know,

17
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.760
just uh, Chip Hall just talked
about what a great thing the BA Baseball

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.519
Fiesta thing is that they love playing
and yeah, yeah, I don't.

19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.000
So they're gonna be pretty good.
Yeah, I think. Yeah, you

20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.280
know, he's got he's got to
get the pitching again. But as always,

21
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.480
more baseball news. Mike Trout coming
off of seven week stint on the

22
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.159
on the injured list. When that
happened when he took a swing, didn't

23
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.760
get hit, he took a swing
and broke his hand, and so he's

24
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.799
been out since then. So he
comes back to night the Angels at the

25
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.200
time, we're in the hunt for
a playoff spot. They've gone sixteen and

26
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.920
twenty two since he's been gone,
and they're nine games out of the wild

27
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.879
card race, which means they're pretty
much out of the wild card race.

28
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.760
But that's too bad for Mike Trout. You know, you just feel bad

29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.480
for that guy that hasn't had a
chance. And already who Altie Moreno,

30
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.319
who who went all out and kept
thinking they had a chance, right,

31
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.439
right, and they had a chance. They had a chance, and then

32
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.879
they went to the dumper right in
the toity. Okay, so as as

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.759
a fall camps and for various uh
N, various college football teams, some

34
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.479
personnel news. First of all,
one that kind of stings for me.

35
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:30.319
Who who who's picked Washington to uh
to win the Pac twelve and they even

36
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.800
have a wage on it with Steve. They lost their starting running back Cameron

37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.599
Davis for the season with I think
a knee injury. He's out for the

38
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.719
year. Uh it hurts. Then
they also lost a h an offensive tackle

39
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.080
or an offensive lineman who I think
is out for for the year as well,

40
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.159
but starting running back. I mean, you know, look, you

41
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.560
affairs lost Michael Wiley. That's what
we're talking about. So big big blow

42
00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.039
for the Huskies and big blow for
that that over under on wins for you

43
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.560
if you've got them, Washington,
So too bad there. Oregon State has

44
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:13.560
named as expected dj ou Young dele
as their starting quarterback. They went and

45
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.319
got him for that reason. He's
a transfer portal guy out of Clemson,

46
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.120
so he's the he's their starting quarterback. And then a little bit of a

47
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:28.360
surprise because I think you know,
we saw Trenton Boorgay from my ASU do

48
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.960
such a good job for Frace you
last year. Certainly played a great game

49
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.560
against Arizona even though they did get
beat here. But he will not be

50
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.199
the starter for the opening for them
opening game. I bet you he'll play

51
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.000
the he'll play. He'll take over
the role at some point. Yeah,

52
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.520
he's just not that he's too good, because he's good, but he's one

53
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.080
of those quarterbacks you just wish you
had because he doesn't make mistakes, gets

54
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.639
the job done, and there you
have a little bit surprised. Yeah,

55
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.919
Jayden was shot of the kid that
remember the Florida kids that thought he had

56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.800
a thirteen million dollars contract with Florida
and then all that blew up and then

57
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.800
he ended up ended up coming to
a SCU. He's a freshman. He's

58
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.039
a true freshman, six four under
any five pounds. He's out of it's

59
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.560
out of Southern California. But he's
the guys. He's been named the starter

60
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.759
for the US season opener for a
SU. So there's a couple of couple

61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.959
of a couple of moves related football
news, uh Bret McMurphy reporting that Mississippi

62
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.240
State where who where Arizona has to
visit its second game of the season,

63
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:41.480
has sold its entire lotment of forty
thousand season tickets. Yea. The SEC

64
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.360
is just totally different in it.
Yeah here, you were talking to me

65
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.839
about sixteen thousand last week. Yeah, maybe you to get better. That's

66
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.240
not a different. It just means
more. And they say, yeah,

67
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.439
Starkville, Mississippi. Right, forty
thousand seasons, twenty thousand people. Okay,

68
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.079
So you talked about Arizona being the
home court of the home field advantage.

69
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.639
Tell me that Arizona's gonna go there
and and and win that game.

70
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.759
I don't think they are, okay, No, No, I thought you

71
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.120
I think they can. I don't
think they are. Okay, I don't

72
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.439
think you know. No, I'm
trying to I'm trying to look this up

73
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:26.800
and see what their their population is
forty four thousand under, they're twenty twenty

74
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.319
one population, No, what twenty
four thousands? Ye know what it says

75
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:39.680
right here, that's the type of
Really you have more people buy teason tickets

76
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.360
in this in the city. Really, that's how many how many people are

77
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.279
right here? I would have never
guessed that what do they? I was

78
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.360
joking, because how is that possible? Steve? Again, that's what you

79
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.600
know. It's it's we gotta call
I gotta call it. It's just where

80
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.480
they are. Someone from Mississippi.
Hi, you're on the aaron I and

81
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.160
the ball. You have a yeah, can you take a call? I

82
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.439
memory about about Loot and being intimidated
by him. What's your name? Frank?

83
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.040
Oh? Hey, Frank, how
are you good? Thanks for listening?

84
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.240
What's this? What's the story?
Okay? I was working at the

85
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.519
La Times in news, but I
knew the guy that covered USC basketball great

86
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.160
Sand of all, So I said, let me, yeah, why don't

87
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.519
I go sit with you in the
in the in the sports, you know,

88
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.199
sports writer section. He said,
sure, come on over. So

89
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:47.759
this is uh nineteen eighty seven eight. No, I'm sorry, nineteen ninety

90
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.639
seven, ninety eight. Okay,
okay, Arizona was a defending champion as

91
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.720
the AA champion, and at this
time they were undefeated in the pack.

92
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.959
So he's going to let the whole
game. As I remember against uh USC,

93
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.720
USC was not tighly ranked at all. And what happens in the very

94
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:14.160
last second as uh USC player hits
a three pointer you guys may remember that

95
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:21.279
Adam Adam Spanish I can remember,
yeah, right at USC Whiz. So

96
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.480
Greg. Greg says to me,
uh, hey, Frank, can you

97
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.560
go I'm up dead, like,
can you go shag a quote for me

98
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.680
from Luke? And I said sure. So I go back to Uh there's

99
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.079
the locker room and Lude is coming
out with a skull on this face.

100
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.160
I kind of approached him, but
he had such a means angry look on

101
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.639
his face. I said, Hey, I'm not getting paid for this.

102
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.000
I'm not gonna do that. And
you're a kid, you veteran do right,

103
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.959
Yeah, you're an older guy and
you're not You're a l Yeah.

104
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.360
So anyway, luckily Jason Terry came
along. I said, he said,

105
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.680
I talked to you from the So
Jason gave me a quote, uh which

106
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.639
I think Greg, you is uh
uh that year you that year was crazy,

107
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.120
book because if you were there,
Adam Spanish hit the shot and it

108
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.040
bounced and it stopped and then it
fell in and they would have been the

109
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.720
first team to ever go undefeated in
the Pac twelve PAC ten back then,

110
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.120
and they didn't. And it was
the Henry, it was the Bibby Bibby

111
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:31.279
versus Baby game. Yeah, exactly, and uh and uh, of course,

112
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.639
I guess I was kind of a
pre prelude what happened later on if

113
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.440
I'm uh, wait a minute,
they made mistaken here never mind. Yeah,

114
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.840
so anyway, that's that's a great
story. I do remember that that

115
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440
was lou was upset. Obviously it
was a tough game. They would have

116
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.559
gone undefeated that year in the Pac
twelve. Thanks for the memory. Yeah,

117
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.840
there were what's seventeen and zero at
the time, seventeen year, right,

118
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.480
exactly. They needed that one.
Thank you for Frank, Thanks for

122
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.840
mean he got LA times guy.
Yeah, it's pretty funny. That's pretty

123
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.159
funny. All right, I got
one for you. Canna get the syndroal?

124
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.279
Yeah, sure, do you see
Frank ConA no, kind of hinting

125
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.159
that the retirement. I've tried to
evalue him a situation probably the last couple

126
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.840
of months a lot, and I'm
not always pleased with the answer I'm getting

127
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.799
U kind of is he's been ill
too, he's been he's had some health

128
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.120
issues. Yeah, I can see
why, you know, he would say,

129
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.519
you know what, it's it's time
to slow down. So I hear

130
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.840
you, man, I hear you. All Right, Well, I'm looking,

131
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:46.840
you know, I'm looking at the
map wor Stark. It's not near

132
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.480
anything, So I don't know where
these people are coming from to go to

133
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.320
these games. But they sold forty
thousand season tickets and twenty in the town

134
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.440
of twenty four thousand people. That's
you know, Arizona fan. There's a

135
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.000
million of us here, right sure, get your butt into the stadium.

136
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.159
You know what, We're gonna play
this clip by It's not breaking news,

137
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.320
but we're gonna play this clip by
it did we did we play that one

138
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.000
where we're about packing them go.
We're gonna play this clip from Jed the

139
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.679
other day. If you think,
uh, you know, if we're talking

140
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.399
about a town forty thousand seats when
they've only got twenty four thousand people.

141
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.399
Here's what Jed Fish had to say
on Saturday night. I mean, if

142
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.120
we got this in two weeks and
we don't have fifty thousand people here,

143
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.039
that's not a good sign. We
need to pack this place, and we

144
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.120
need to embrace the opportunity that we
have here. We got six shots at

145
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.480
this at home, and we got
to make sure we can get all fifty

146
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.159
thousand, seven hundred people in here. So I asked the fans, and

147
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.759
I asked two sign to really come
out and give us everything they got in

148
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.720
two weeks fourteen days from now and
see if we can actually rally the troops

149
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.879
up and have the type of night
that we we believe we can have if

150
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.919
we do. This is not a
reflection of him, No, it's a

151
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.519
reflection of the town. And you've
seen it all your life. I've seen

152
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.720
it since i've been here. I
don't know other places, but I know

153
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.240
they're like this. It's it's Fickletown. I mean a couple of times,

154
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.480
you know, in the in the
Dick Tommy years, you'll found the ninety

155
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.360
eight season whatnot? They sold twenty
three twenty four thousand seasons because that was

156
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.879
about as good as the game.
And that's kind of like the ceiling,

157
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.480
right, Yeah, it really is. Mid twenties is like, you get

158
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.759
to mid twenties, they're happy,
all right, they're happy of the kale

159
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.440
if they if they get to that
so again we're being put to shame by

160
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.360
Starkfield. Missus. Well, it's
gonna be a tough game, so you

161
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.559
know, and that's kind of the
game. You think they're gonna lose anything?

162
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.600
Yeah, yeah, I mean I've
got that marked down as I mean,

163
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.000
if I'm marking wins and losses right
now, I'm marking that is a

164
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.960
loss. I think Arizona has a
shot to win it, but not not

165
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:50.039
not very likely, right. Interesting
decision by Robert Salet, the head coach

166
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.480
of the New York Jets. He's
gonna start Aaron Rodgers in their last preseason

167
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.559
games. Rogers hasn't played in the
preseason games since two thousand and eighteen because

168
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.960
she's how good. Yes, yeah, he just said, look, you

169
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.600
know, everybody needs some work,
and he's just basically and people are ripping.

170
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.679
What would you know, what would
you risk herding him and stuff?

171
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.320
He said, Look, if we're
gonna walk around worrying about whether or not

172
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.519
we're gonna get hurt, we're gonna
suck, basically what he said. So

173
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.240
Aaron Rodgers will play in the last
preseason game for the New York Jets this

174
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.639
week. So an interesting call.
There. Have you seen have you seen

175
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.000
Bijean Robinson's commercial. It's a great
commercials. I don't know if this is

176
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.039
on just on TV, it's on
social media, but it's a it's a

177
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.080
it's just for his mustard and so
it's a it's a it's a thing where

178
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.039
you see a quarterback taking a snap, he goes back to pass, he

179
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.799
grabs a weenie off the grill and
he throws it as a pass. Bejean

180
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.159
sitting in like in a lounge,
shareholding hot dog bun. The hot dog

181
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.679
lands in the bun, he puts
a mustard on it and then he just

182
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.399
goes touchdown. It's on Twitter,
yeah, and it's it says it's like

183
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.919
a touchdown in your mouth. So
yeah, you can find it on two

184
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.919
if you if you if you search
Bjan Robinson, you'll find it on X.

185
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.240
Formerly known as Quis Duson Ristitch,
one of our buddies, been on

186
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.360
our show. He's going to be
representing Serbia in the FIBA Basketball World Cup,

187
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.639
so well good they're playing. Man, the good dudes were still out

188
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.360
there, uh you know, throwing
it around on the court. So good,

189
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.639
good for good for Duson to be
to be out there. Kind of

190
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.360
unrelated right, the Indoor Football League
is adding the team team in Jacksonville.

191
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.440
They had a team there before,
so now they've gone down into Florida,

192
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.039
so really all over the country now
for sure. It's just part of the

193
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.159
thing that I was on is in. Yeah, the Indoor Football League,

194
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.000
the two so that that gives him
fifteen teams in the league now. So

195
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.840
but it'll be the Jacksonville Sharks joining
the league next year. And then we

196
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:54.240
find out from USA today that Serena
Williams had a baby boy yesterday or is

197
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:00.240
it today? Oh? Today?
Well, it was announced today. They've

198
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.639
got a five year old daughter and
now they have a second daughter said a

199
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.600
baby boy, Uh, that was
born today. So there you go.

200
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.080
Serena Willams, mother of two now
mother of tew. Well, her planning

201
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.519
deers are probably coming over, bro
coming, yeah, you would think soon.

202
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.799
But does she fantastic? Probably the
goat of women's tennis. I think

203
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.679
you have to say that. I
really think you do. All Right,

Jaken's else. Now on the phone,

283
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.759
we have Robert Polido, the Arizona
father. Raymond Polido visited over the weekend.

284
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.799
How are you, Robert, Well, we're doing well. We're doing

285
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.799
well. I hope you're a good
spot. You kind of already broke up.

286
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:29.039
But how was it coming out here? You've been out here before,

287
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.680
obviously, but you drove out here
to watch your son in the scrimmage?

288
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.799
Yes, how was it? Uh? It was nice? I meant was

289
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:44.000
ideal? Right, How was it
drive back? Well, the drive back

290
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.440
was nice until I got to the
palm screens area, So that was that

291
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.039
was something different. So so you're
really in the early stages of of seeing

292
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.920
how how your son what your son's
gonna go through as a as a college

293
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.200
football player. But leading up to
this, what have been some of the

highlights for you and watching you know
where your son is landed at Arizona,

295

you have with it with Raymond when
you're talking about what's going on around him.

298
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:26.119
I've always so, I've always told
me had a gift, and to

299
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:32.599
take his gift and just give it
a one hundred and ten percent and see

300
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.160
how far it takes him. I
told, you know, my wife,

301
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.640
his mom, that at the age
of ten, he had the it factor,

302
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.759
right, So, and she was
like, Oh, you're just saying

303
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.000
that because your dad. Now,
I said, I've coached a while,

304
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:53.480
even basketball and football, and there's
certain kids who come across to have that

305
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:59.680
im factor that they're just build different. And I thought he had that.

306
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.599
So, you know, he he
took to what I said, and you

307
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.160
know, and we took baby steps. You know, it'll get you somewhere

308
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.680
in high school and then from high
school if you do what I believe you

309
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:17.599
can accomplish, it'll get your three
education. And you know, he's been

310
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:22.640
writing that one step at a time
mentality this whole way baby steps. He's

311
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.519
what six six three forty five.
Those baby steps left a long time ago.

312
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.839
Well, you know, a good
lineman always takes from baby steps the

313
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.519
foot off the ground for too long. That's true. You talked about ten

314
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:41.400
years old. How big was he
dead? He was about five nine five

315
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:48.319
ten maybe. And and what about
the wait, he was about one eighty

316
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.200
solid one eighty man. Yeah,
they're probably saying get the versus the begin

317
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.960
holding. So so at some point, you know, he's playing high school

318
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.000
football and recruiters are starting to come
around. We've seen, we've seen the

319
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.519
long list of schools all the way
up to Alabama that we're interested in,

320
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.680
in Michigan, Tennessee, Miami.
You know what, how how do the

321
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:17.279
two of you handle this? What? You know? How what kind of

322
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.319
advice could you offer him to help
him? You kind of worked through all

323
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:33.759
of this. So he's always he's
very private and very working like so to

324
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:40.920
get the notoriety and to get the
attention from from all these coaches, it

325
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.200
was different for him. You know, he's like, Dad, Okay,

326
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.839
that's good. I just want to
go and go back and I'm gonna go

327
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.279
work and do what I do.
I said, okay, So I just

328
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:57.759
kind of let them know that they
were coming and these these uh these offers

329
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:04.559
we were legiti you know, and
and to him he was like I okay,

330
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:11.759
yeah, he wasn't. He never
really got overly excited about anything because

331
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.480
to him, he's a get I'm
the one doing the work. You know,

332
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.000
I want to be the best I
can be, so you know,

333
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.240
let the results be what they are. So that's always been his ntality.

334
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.759
Did he ever get get? Give
you a sense of what was most important

335
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:36.519
to him? To him, it's
coaches. So whatever coaching staff was going

336
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:45.279
to help him more position coach wow, Ete's I was going to utilize him

337
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:51.440
to be the best that he can
at his position. Well he's he's ideal.

338
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:53.200
I mean, come on, look
at that size in a place where

339
00:24:53.240 --> 00:25:02.079
Arizona needs that size, right.
So going to that was like I went

340
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.960
to the second school we really visited
when he was heading into tenth grade,

341
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:12.440
and coach Bitch and Brendan Carroll were
the first two that were there maybe three

342
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:18.720
months when we when we first seen
him. And I knew of Brendan Carroll

343
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.559
because I'm a RANS fan and he
was a Seattle ski Hawks old rank coach

344
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.359
with his dad, So I kind
of you know, he knew what he

345
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.880
was talking about, and he's seeing
r J's my son's size, and he's

346
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:41.720
like, yeah, kid, you
have every tool that you would want for

347
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.279
a prototypical NFL guy. And my
son was like, Okay, that's cool,

348
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.519
it's funny. It's funny. I
saw highlight I don't know, a

349
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.559
couple of days ago. He was
on the old line obviously, but he

350
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.640
was like running down the field making
sure he blocked his guy. He was

351
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.240
probably in high school somewhere, maybe
junior senior year, just and still very

352
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.079
mobile. Yeah, he's so that's
been one of it again. And that's

353
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.839
when I when I told my wife
he's profecial. He's got he's like a

354
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.000
big dancing bear. You know,
he's very mobile. Like we had him

355
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.559
in soccer, baseball, basketball,
like since he was four, you know,

356
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.000
and so he's always played multiple sports. And then at the age of

357
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.839
ten, he got too big for
soccer obviously, you know, people are

358
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.000
kicking him in the shins and he
was getting frustrated. So I introduced him

359
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.000
the football and that's where football began
interesting. So he's been he's been in

360
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:42.880
Arizona. What have been some of
the conversations. What's he know, what's

361
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.640
he been liking about the place and
the coaching. I mean, has the

362
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:52.160
experience been kind of what he was
hoping it would be. So he went

363
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.279
in there. He went in there
still with the street mentality. I hadn't

364
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.240
proven anything. I'm not sure if
I'm even going to be good enough,

365
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:06.759
right, And you know, he's
killing it working out with the first while

366
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.559
all the freshman when he first gets
there, and you know, he's like

367
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.359
telling me, Dad, I'm on
top of the leader board, on top

368
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.960
of the leader board like four out
of five days every week. And you

369
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.680
know if he's loving it because he
loves the hard work and he loves he

370
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.680
loves coach. Owen's right, right, because if you teach him how to

371
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.480
work out the correct way and how
to do things the right way, he's

372
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.319
going to gravitate to you. That's
his thing. If this is going to

373
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.839
make me better, I Am going
to do it one hundred and ten percent.

374
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.319
Well, that's that's what he loved
about being out there. So we're

375
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:47.359
talking to the father of Raymond Polido, Robert Polio. So so so,

376
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.200
Robert, how cool is it for
the family? Obviously very big supporters of

377
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.680
their son to be playing here,
which is, you know, a nice

378
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.720
little drive from home. It's it's
actually really it's great, you know,

379
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:11.960
I understand of course Mama Mom was
really proud that he had children Alabama,

380
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.839
as we all were, right.
It was a true testament of two how

381
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.720
they've seen him, what type of
athlete he is. But when it all

382
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.119
came down to it, he wanted
to be closer to home, not too

383
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.480
close, meaning not our backyard schools
like UCLA or USC they were in the

384
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.160
mix, but they he just wanted
to be a little further, you know,

385
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:41.240
And so and coach Benn and Carroll
was was a good fit. But

386
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.759
so so you know what we were
talking earlier. I'm guess you're gonna probably

387
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.079
be at all his home games and
then maybe a few few of those California

388
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.079
games. And how much of an
opportunity will you have to follow him?

389
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:00.400
We are blessed. We me and
my wife both worked for the school district,

390
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.799
so we have a good amount of
days that we can take personal days.

391
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:11.880
So you know, obviously other home
games. We already booked the flight

392
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.440
when we figured out that he was
going to be considered highly for a starter

393
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:22.119
or playing significant time as a freshman. So we'll be doing the Mississippi state

394
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.960
trip as well. Wow, what
do you well, yeah, had you

395
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.880
been had either of you or your
family been to two you know, spent

396
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.200
much time in Tucson. What did
you know about Tucson and the u A

397
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:41.920
when all this started for you guys? So his older brother, he has

398
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:48.960
an older brother that actually lives in
Tucson and had moved out there two years

399
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.799
ago, like a year prior,
and at that time he wasn't considered I

400
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.519
mean he wasn't he hadn't committed to
either school, but Alabama was you know,

401
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:03.240
where he was at it. And
then it just became you know,

402
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.079
U of A and big brothers happy
and we're happy. And you know,

403
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:14.240
it turns out we have a lot
of family and relatives, were close friends

404
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.599
that live in the area from Phoenix
all the way down. So all right,

405
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.440
yeah, nice, nice, nice. I'm not sure what else.

406
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.039
Well again, you know, it's
still it's still a program. It's sort

407
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.519
of in its infancy, you know
what how what is what is Raymond told

408
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.359
you about? Just to feel around
the program? How you know, how

409
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.119
the coaches are overall the you know, the players. I mean, what's

410
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.799
he you know, what's he enjoyed
about it? You know, what's he

411
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:48.319
still figuring out those kinds of things. So so again going back to three

412
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:55.519
years ago when we first visited,
he liked the how genuine coach Fish and

413
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.720
Brendan Carroll with some of the other
staff that were new at the time.

414
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.519
He really he really fought a good
connection with them. But the whole u

415
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:12.759
of a, the whole football facilities
weren't weren't fully built, you know,

416
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.200
they were remodeling. So so the
first thing they took care about, believe

417
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.519
was Coach Fisher's office in two offices, and then the weight room. So

418
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.839
he walks into the weight room and
he's like, this is this is what

419
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.680
it's about. Right here, this
is where the word gets done. And

420
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:33.640
they had all that the new technology
where you know, they they monitor every

421
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.279
rep and all that personal game and
he just loved it. So he knew

422
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:42.799
that they were heading in the right
direction. And it's backtracked now to this

423
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:49.279
past December when he was looking you
know, he had informed Alabama that he

424
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:56.000
was going to look at some schools
closer to the West coast. So it

425
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:04.680
all came down to Oregon and U
of A just because of the position position

426
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:09.359
coaches, not so much for the
program itself, but the position coaches.

427
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:15.240
And it just curtained out that Oregons
coach decided he was going to go to

428
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:20.319
the NFL back into the NFL,
the online coach and then that it just

429
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.200
made it easier for him to say, Dad, I've always liked, you

430
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.920
know, coach Carola, and I
liked to feel that at Arizona and they're

431
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:31.359
doing good things. And he was
very familiar with the boys from Survey because

432
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:39.400
he participated a lot of the practices
that they had. And they remember during

433
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.720
the COVID season they had like,
h it was like some underground football league.

434
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.680
Well he was part of that.
He was part of that league and

435
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.200
he got to play with these guys
down at that league, and so he

436
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.599
had a good bond with those guys
and he was like, it just feel

437
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.319
like home, very good. Yeah, well he's going to be at the

438
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:06.200
nice nut ground level of the resurgence
of the program, but pretty much near

439
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:07.640
the ground. Had a good time, I think, yeah, right,

440
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.799
and be a part of the building
program. And that's one thing he does

441
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.799
feel. He it just seems like
all the guys that are there, especially

442
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.599
in his position, his position group, they're very similar. They're kind of

443
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.640
low key guys that just want to
work and be the best that they can.

444
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.920
And that's and that's exactly where where
where he's at. He goes,

445
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.200

Basically I think what he's eighteen years
old, he's six six, three thirty

527
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.920
five and getting ready to start two
would be a starter. Friends on the

of the son of a former U of

533
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.800
a guy Johnson, what's his name? The brothers and then they one was

534
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:51.719
older than the other, transferred from
Chicago from Colorado. You got me,

535
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.480

536
00:39:55.679 --> 00:40:04.400

oh oh oh d him him. He's

537
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:06.840
out there right. I thought I
saw him. He's a defensive end.

538
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.079
Defensive end. You know what I'm
talking I do not. You don't know

539
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:13.960
who I'm talking about. I do
not. Well, I thought you said,

540
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:15.800
oh what I've no. Oh no, I was thinking of a guy

541
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.880
who's a defensive back. Here you
do no? Oh God, I have

542
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:23.159
to go enough for it. Who's

they just are. I'm just wondering.

545
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.079
I'm just wondering what's gonna become of
him because I don't think he's playing much.

546
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:43.440
And probably some of you might text

I don't have this. Man's this
is killing me. As usual.

548
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:55.000
Today is my forgetful day days.
Well, let's let's forget more than usual.

549
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:01.559
Johnson no, Johnson. You have
a Johnson and I'm looking to the

550
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.199
roster. Now, I'll come up
with it. I'll come up with it.

553
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:20.000
I'm trying to go through the roster
as well. He's a Johnson and

554
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.679
he's alignment. Don't don't pay attention
to last name. He's a defensive lineman.

555
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:28.440
Defensiveman, I'm pretty sure. Who's
the kid who transferred in from Colorado

556
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:34.239
because his brother played here? Man, I don't I don't have this,

557
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:38.239
man, Jones, No, I
do not have this. How come I

558
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:43.960
can't come up with this because you're
you're an old guy, doesn't remember anything.

559
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.199
It'll come to me. Okay,

00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.800

00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.320
and I'm saying, no, there
was the younger Jason, the younger Harris

594
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.159
came and he hasn't really come come
about. You know, they were excited

595
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.599
to have him. His brother was
there, played played on the brown right

596
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:35.360
and nothing. Yeah, interesting interesting, you know what. Look, it's

597
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:37.880
one of those things, Steve.
Where As the Arizona roster gets better,

598
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:40.840
which it is getting better, and
they got more guys. You know,

599
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.079
there are guys who had been recruited
who maybe you know, at the time,

600
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.360
they were a guy that that that
Arizona you know, wanted and could

601
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:52.400
count on. But now you're you're, you're, you're in a situation where

602
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:57.519
they've got such better players across the
board that maybe you know, maybe you've

603
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.519
been uh, you've been passed along, you've been you know, somebody,

604
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:06.280
somebody's passed you by a little bit. Yeah, right, and just the

605
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:07.480
way it is, yeah, you
know, I mean, you know,

606
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:14.079
look a Gunner cruise the quarterback,
right. It's funny because you're he was

607
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.360
the guy. You're you're because you're
you're this, and you're not gonna say

608
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:20.639
you're not because you are. They
look the part. They come off from

609
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:25.079
an airport and you still see Gunner
alone sidelines, and yeah, the dude

610
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:29.280
looks like exactly what you think.
He still looks like a quarterback, but

611
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:30.920
he's not. But he's a grat
assistant now yeah, and he's just gonna,

612
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:35.599
you know, helping outright, But
he looks the part right, And

613
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.119
I don't even know where I'm going
with this, but but that's funny because

614
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.840
when you looked a part, sometimes
you're just not the part you are.

615
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.880
That's why. And I asked Justin
this yesterday. And you know where I'm

616
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.039
going with this with the Justin Flow
thing is that he looks the part he

617
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:51.039
looks. But how good is he
really good? Well, we're gonna find

618
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:52.559
out how good he is. I
mean, that's just right, you know,

619
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:57.400
just because they are going to put
him on the field. We're gonna

620
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.000
find out. But again, I
think I think people or surprised to hear

621
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:05.480
that Justin Flow is not has not
earned a starting job yet. And you

622
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.360
think, what would you think right
away off the bat? Come on,

623
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.079
wait, wait, wait, I'm
gonna put you in a spot. March

624
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.239
when they played the when they played
in the String game or April whatever it

625
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:16.119
was. What are you thinking?
You've seen this guy come on in the

626
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:20.800
room while he again he walks in
the dorm like Arizona has never had that

627
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.719
guy. You're thinking, holy crap, they've got this guy, whether you

628
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.440
knew who his name or not,
right, and you're thinking, this guy's

629
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.800
gonna be pretty good right well,
you know yet he had injury problems up

630
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.480
in Oregon. We don't know,
you know, how he's built and how

631
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.159
that's gonna you know, how it's
gonna fly, and how you know how

632
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.159
much he'll be able to contribute.
I mean, you hope, you expect,

633
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.119
but you don't know. And that's
just the way it is. And

634
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.320
especially when you're dealing with, you
know, eighteen to twenty two year olds

635
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:47.920
from one day to the next,
you don't know what the hell is going

636
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.719
on with them and what you know, and you know, from a from

637
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.760
a standpoint of you know, physically, mentally, all those things that go

638
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:01.760
into it, looked being a college
football players is a hard job, a

639
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:06.559
job because you're you're you're being a
football player is hard enough that the fact

640
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:07.639
that you also got to go to
school, you got to do all these

641
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:12.480
other things, got all these other
responsibilities, and you're and you're you're pretty

642
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.840
young where you know last you know, last year, you're going to the

643
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.159
senior prom and now you're being expected
to be all these things in a big

644
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:24.320
time way on TV, major college
football, millions of dollars at stake,

645
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:28.840
and all of a sudden, there's
all this pressure on you, you know,

646
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:32.760
to be great, and sometimes it's
hard. It's just hard with these

647
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:36.719
guys. Yeah, no question,
it's probably one of the hardest jobs.

648
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.000
But you know, student athletes hide
it tough. They just do. You

649
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:43.400
have a great life, no,
n il if you can get it,

650
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.679
if you can get it. But
it's it's your time. Your time is

651
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.000
very limited. It's it's hard.
It's really hard. Yeah, And and

652
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.000
it gains probably you can put up
with it a lot more if the fact

653
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:54.559
that you know, you got money
to do stuff, when you've got when

654
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.840
you do have time and stuff like
that, it's it's not such a grind,

655
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:02.480
but none the last, it's not
easy. It's not an easy job.

656
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:05.960
But you see what you know,
what these kids have to do and

657
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:10.119
the worlds have to put in to
be to be good players at the college

658
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:15.719
level, right right, And so
many visible you know, basketball players probably

659
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.239
have with the best because they're visible. Football players aren't visible, I mean

660
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:24.079
right, I mean you know,
I mean Raymond Polido, right, we

661
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:28.760
were talking about him right now.
How much we're gonna talk Is he gonna

662
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.320
be talked about? Not so much
by us, but by you know,

663
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:35.920
the media, by the you know, the TV guys doing it, doing

664
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.199
an Arizona game or whatever. How
much attention is he gonna get? Sure,

665
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:42.880
do these guys fall into the background. Somebody like George Morgan. People

666
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.559
are gonna keep it on him because
they're talking about him being a first round

667
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:47.800
Sure. Sure, but there's there's
eight of the linemen that are gonna play

668
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.199
right, right, and their offensive
linemen. How often do you see them?

669
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.480
Right? Would you outside of them
walking in the room and then knowing

670
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.559
they're six foot whatever, you're thinking, oh, okay, but I don't

671
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:02.960
even know who you could you could
you pick him out of the lineup because

672
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.599
you don't know what they look like. Yeah, you don't see their faces.

673
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.840
You know they're they're behind and the
only time you really know who they

674
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:16.320
are is when they have a penalty
and you're cussing out of five year emotions,

675
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:22.199
illegal procedure penalty, when you're when
you got third and one and now

676
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.599
you got third right, And that
was a concern on Saturday. Yeah,

677
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:32.039
so many, so many flags,
so many kind of disjointed Ye, but

678
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:36.599
there's a lot to like obviously,
obviously, wow, there is And you

679
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.360
know, uh, again, as
we talked about, I think there's a

680
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:43.000
little bit of a buzz about the
team. So let me let me ask

681
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.559
you this too. The things that
I think about doing so we're talking to

682
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:49.920
Jed right after the game, right, perfect night. When you see Jed

683
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:53.880
talk to us, what do you
think I'm asking you? Honestly, I

684
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:57.519
feel like we're talking to a guy
at a bar. I think we're talking

685
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.199
to a tennis coach. Yeah,
he's got the Jackie shorts and he's got

686
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:07.480
yeah, just don't have to sock. But you know the below the socks.

687
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:12.840
Do you remember the Kansas coach from
many years ago, the big dude,

688
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.760
the big dude, he was really
big. Oh yeah, yeah,

689
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:20.519
yeah, I can't remember. He
didn't look like the football coach right,

690
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:22.840
or there was there was the dude
from uh from Notre Dame. He was

691
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:29.599
a patriot. Yeah yeah, white, white, white, I remember,

692
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.079
just didn't just didn't look the prey. And not that Jed doesn't, but

693
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:37.480
he doesn't. He looks like he
again, he doesn't have you don't look

694
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:39.039
at him. Go, there's a
guy who played college football, right,

695
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:42.960
you say, there's a guy who
played tennis in college, which he did,

696
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.960
and he looks like it looks you
know it's because my I should I'll

697
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:49.199
give up my wife on this one. You know, I was playing.

698
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.559
I was cutting clips from one of
the I from the press cup from one

699
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:58.159
of the press conferences, and so
she was hearing his voice, you know,

700
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.400
in the room, and she said, he he's got this scratchy voice,

701
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:05.880
like a guy who you know,
smokes cigarettes and drinks beer all the

702
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:09.199
time. You know, he just
doesn't sound like you know, he doesn't

703
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:12.519
sound like a football coach. He
sounds like a guy you meet at a

704
00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:17.400
bar and you're hanging out with.
But he also saw, I will say,

705
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:22.039
though you talk to him, he
also sounds very smart. Oh,

706
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:27.599
without question. Right with that question, without question, I mean he I

707
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.159
agree with your wife in the screet
he just has one of those it's an

708
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.760
accent from somewhere. But Durst,
without question, the dude is shrewd and

709
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.199
smart. He's really smart. The
stuff that he talks about and the stuff

710
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.320
that he sees that the things that
he tells us. Yeah that, like

711
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:43.480
you, I never would have thought
it. Yeah, well this is what

712
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.400
he does, right, this is
what he does. But no question when

713
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:49.559
he because he's because he's smart.
Then you say, here's the dude in

714
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.360
cake He looks like a tennis coach. Yeah, but here here's what I

715
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:58.119
guess where I'm going from on this
is you feel like he's been taking notes

716
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:02.800
all his life question and that he's
got questions, like a notebook of notes,

717
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:10.320
no questions that uh, you know, a note on every situation that

718
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:15.199
he's he's gonna face that he's been. He somehow there's a journal or a

719
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:21.000
notebook or a file. Maybe it's
on a computer, something that he can

720
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:24.360
refer to that he has seen or
experience in the past. And he saved

721
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:29.559
it and he said this is gonna
come up someday and he compartmentalizes in his

722
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:34.159
memory. You know. The guy
who did that blently and I admired him

723
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.000
for it was Sean. He had
the answer to your question before you asked

724
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:39.639
the question. Yeah, but he
was. He was, but he didn't

725
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:43.440
answer your question. I know,
but he But with Sean was kind of

726
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:49.239
like it was all rolled up in
this ball of Sean. Oh no,

727
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:52.599
he's other things. He's more authentic. But no, but Sean, you

728
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:55.480
would ask him about the sun and
he would tell you about the sun,

729
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:59.760
but tell you about something else without
telling you about the sun, because he

730
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:02.400
he had an answer for it.
Jed tells you about it. Yeah,

731
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:07.199
Sean just had an answers for questions
you didn't You didn't even ask. Yeah,

732
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:09.159
no, you're right. Yeah,
he was gonna tell you what he

733
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:13.880
wanted to tell you, regardless of
what you're exactly Jed tells you. You

734
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:15.760
know what you're asking, What dude
Sean is like? What I didn't ask

735
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.840
that? Hey, we gotta get
out of here, all right. We

736
