And it was a fun. Yeah,

30
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.319
you know, he's a he's a
cool kid. Okay, Jason, you're

31
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.519
ready to call it a day?
Weekend, yep, looking forward to the

32
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.400
weekend. Gonnest, how much I
don't watch baseball that much? So well,

33
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.400
I watched a little bit college rule
serious today, oh TCU any of

34
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.599
it. Oral Roberts was a fantastic
game. It was in the bottom of

35
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.879
the ninth. I left, I
left to come here. I don't know

36
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.560
what happened. Check, I'll have
to look. We're just breaking news.

37
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.280
But what do we have to DAYJ
Well, we're gonna have some fun.

38
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.360
We're we haven't talked to Sugar Sulls
really all week. Pat Paris is going

39
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.800
to join us. He's my broadcast
partner on the YouTube broadcast of all the

40
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.759
games. So they've got another big
game this week, Steve. You know,

41
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.960
they're six and four. They're tied
in the lost column for first place.

42
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.719
So you've got Bay Area at seven
and four. The Sugar Skulls and

43
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.520
Rattlers are six and four. They're
trying to get into one of the top

44
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.240
two spots to host a playoff game, in one of the top four spots

45
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.840
to be in the playoffs. So
um, but they've got San Diego coming

46
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.360
in. San Diego beat him last
last time they were here, scored on

47
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.479
the last playoff regulation on Hail Mary, got it into overtime and won the

48
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.960
game. So a little little revenge
factor there, but more than anything,

49
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.840
just another game that because Sugar Skulls
have to win. They got to take

50
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.960
care of business at home. That's
funny. You talk about the games being

51
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.439
at the last second heave or last
second score. I mean every game and

52
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.039
the night. Every game is like
every game is like that. You know,

53
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.800
last last game, they had an
extra play after the clock ran out

54
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.800
to decide the game because there was
a non time play because of a penalty.

55
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.120
Uh tackle the quarterback right before he
got to the end zone. He

56
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.000
fumbled the ball into the endzone.
Sugar Skulls recovered it. A review showed

57
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.319
that the ball did not make it
too to the goal line before he fumbled

58
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.520
it. So the Sugar Skulls won
the game. They score touched on there

59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.400
or they get another shot at it
and uh and uh you know, they

60
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.879
win the game. So I'm just
reading this with about Zion Zion Williamson.

61
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.080
So let's a super second that and
we'll put it into whatever business you want

62
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.520
to to both of you guys.
Um, you're you're working hard. You

63
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.599
know, sometimes you mess up,
sometimes you don't, but you're working hard

64
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.840
and your company. Um Gep will
Zeph says, you know, Jay,

65
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.680
Uh, maybe not tell you,
but you find out we're trying to trade

66
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.680
you. We're trying to trade you. Uh and yeah, and you're a

67
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.719
pretty good you're a pretty good employee
blah blah blah, but uh, ZEP

68
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.160
wants to trade you. Um,
how would you feel about it? It

69
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.079
depends. I sort of got traded
when I was a t How did it

70
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.360
feel good? Because I wanted to
get out of I got I got traded

71
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.879
to one of our subsidiary commies.
Okay, and uh and you know,

72
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.680
but not because well, you didn't
feel back the day didn't want you.

73
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.519
You just wanted out. Yeah.
I felt like I kind of kind of

74
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.160
hit the ceiling at t ep um. I wasn't going any further than I

75
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.000
was there, and so I kind
of rolled the dice and thought, a

76
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.480
fact, you know this solar company
that TP was a part owner of,

77
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.959
if I went over there and that
company hit it big that uh um,

78
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.120
you know that it would be great. And it was a roll of the

79
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.079
dice. So I was happy,
right, So it depends on your situation.

80
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.399
I mean, if you're if you're
playing for the Colorado Rockies right now,

81
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.399
and somebody says we're gonna trade you
the you know, the Dodgers or

82
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.360
the Diamondbacks or you know, the
Astros or something like that. You gotta

83
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.959
be happy, don't you. Yeah, it just depends on your situation.

84
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.199
So now, if you feel like
you've got a great situation going and they

85
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.040
say we're trading here, you go, what the hell did I do?

86
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.279
Yeah, so that's just Japan.
Zion's in that situation. I guess I'm

87
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.720
gonna have even been to attention.
Yeah where where he's he's been kind of

88
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.519
a lucy goosey, hasn't played a
whole lot of games over the last two

89
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.160
or three years, injuries or whatever, and then he comes up with this

90
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.040
kind of kind of selacious type of
story. Uh so they've they've been trying

91
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.519
to shop him around, and now
he's kind of disgrunted with the organization because,

92
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.680
uh, what do you think they
should do? Of course they're gonna

93
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.959
try to get you've been You've been
kind of worthless to them. They've invested

94
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.439
a whole hell of a lot and
you've gotten anything. This is not on

95
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.079
them, This is on you.
What'd you think? Yeah, what I

96
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.959
saw from the reports, they don't
really have a relationship the organization is Zion.

97
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.600
He's kind of doing his own thing
with his own cam and the like,

98
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.519
and are doing their own thing,
so there's no like communitytion there.

99
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.720
So of course they're gonna, you
know, want to move on from him.

100
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.439
And if he doesn't want to be
around the team or you know,

101
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.480
being involved, and it hasn't been, he really hasn't. It has been

102
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.480
for all this time. And how
do you it's hard to fix that marriage.

103
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.720
Yeah, if it's fixable at all. Right, No, you know,

104
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.360
in a situation like that, it's
probably best for both to make the

105
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.240
change, to get to get out
of the business, right yeah, right,

106
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.759
So we'll see what happens with it. I just found that interesting than

107
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.040
just how you guys would feel.
Um, I'm like you, I said,

108
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.439
if you don't want me, let's
let me, let me go somewhere.

109
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.680
Yeah, you know, I kind
of you know, I kind of

110
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.040
did that from when I went from
McDonald's to work at Spencers at the mall.

111
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:45.160
Yeah, that's a good example.
I took my talents to Park Mally,

112
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.199
Yeah, where there'd be more girls
going to the posters. Well,

113
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.399
i'll tell you what there was that
there was that I got. I got

114
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:56.680
into Nickel and our salary dispute at
McDonald's and took my talents elsewhere. You

115
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.240
left when there were silly millions.
That was a good burger flipper man.

116
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.800
It was really good at to this
day. It's a skill that I cherished.

117
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.920
So all right, second hour,
Pat Harris is three to fifteen.

118
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.800
Second hour. We've been waiting to
get this guy for a long time because

119
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.639
you know, you and I got
to cover him when he was at Arizona

120
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.439
back in the you know, eighties
and nineties. Dwayne A. Keena who

121
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:26.680
joined the coaching staff last year after
after David what's his name the stafford guy?

122
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.519
Uh David Shaw and uh so Keena
was available. Uh Jed Fish snapped

123
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.639
him up. He's here as a
secondary coach. He's not technically a coach.

124
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.439
He's an analyst because you you know, you got the limit on the

125
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.759
number of coaches. You know,
it's just a matter of time before a

126
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.319
spart off. But you know,
coach A King is aged. Yeah,

127
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.600
yes, I looked at you know, I was looking for a picture of

128
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.879
him to put on our on our
social media, and he was an old

129
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.759
guy in all the pictures. It's
all great. Yeah, we's gotta be

130
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.560
sixty four ish sixty five, you
know, but you know, a great

131
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.240
guy. Um just uh good storyteller. Yeah, good storyteller and incredibly uh

132
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.879
enthusiastic and just a fun guy.
One of the fun guys to cover.

133
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.360
He was the defensive coordinator, uh
back you know, back when you know,

134
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.360
and and the secondary coach, secondary
coach, you know when I was

135
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.680
covering the team, Um, and
I know you covered it later and he

136
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.160
was and he was doing some other
stuff. He was the offensive coordinator at

137
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.920
one point. Yeah, okay,
so but he was the offensive coordinator for

138
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.600
a period of time. So I
mean he you know, he's been around

139
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.960
the block a bunch of times,
but if he was just really really really

140
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.600
always been around he coach Texas with
yeah he was over there with he went,

141
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.360
he was at Arizona, he was
a Texas, he was at Stanford.

142
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.639
Um, you know, he's he's
been around the block many times,

143
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.200
but you know, always a great
guy. Still seems to be the same

144
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.159
enthusiastic guy. If he saw some
of his his interviews and the season last

145
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.600
year, they were very good.
I mean, he's not he's not Bill

146
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.759
Walton Nike where you asked him a
question and you have to wait seven hours

147
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.720
to get the next question. But
he's kind of like that where he tells

148
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.039
the story from beginning to end.
Well, he's got so many stories,

149
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.440
right, and he's coached some pretty
good guys. I mean he's been,

150
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.360
he's been, he's been a college
coach. I think I ready's been a

151
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.600
college coach. I think forty years. He's sixty six years. Yeah,

152
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.559
right, it's about right. You
know we're old. I mean it's harder

153
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.679
hard to figure out the times.
Remember back in the day, man,

154
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.080
there were so many coaches, you
know, someone was so many great personalities.

155
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.679
Pat Hill. Uh, they're Keena, Uh the kid, the guy

156
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.519
who went to Utah McBride. Yeah, Mark Lunsford. Lunsford, you know

157
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.440
we had him on the show.
People loved his interview. Yeah, Mark,

158
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.679
Mark was a great guy. Mark
was Mark was grouchy, but Mark

159
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.600
was fun. Yeah. You know
you could tell he you could sit down

160
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.919
and have a beer with him and
talk some stories. Pat Hill, Pat

161
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.320
Hill, when when one of the
times on a road trip that we were

162
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.720
having beers with with the coaches,
told it great story about um oh god

163
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.720
darning. Oh no, it wasn't. It wasn't. No, it was

164
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.480
a bob dobbs. It wasn't even
on a road trip because it had been

165
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.120
after the call. There was a
lineman. There was a defensive lineman.

166
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.480
I can't remember his name. He'll
come to me. Hi, you're on

167
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.240
the r and I on the ball. So with sim Williamson, like he's

168
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.200
eating himself, you know, too
out of the league. So that's a

169
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.919
lack for him of trying. And
it seems like he's more Team Nikes than

170
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:35.320
he teamed anybody, which would be
his justice brand. And the thing is

171
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.440
by training him, his number is
too high. And then they know you

172
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.519
want to get rid of him.
Plus that baby mama drama and speaking up

173
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.039
eating yourself, out out of yourself, out of him, out of a

174
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:58.039
contract. Excuse me down, um, but he Nicky McDonald's we you know,

175
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.759
the movie is like flaming high and
they stereotype Mexican Americans like wanting hot

176
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.000
food, which is not always the
case. I know he did good by

177
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.759
that damn movie and that that man, but we don't want han spicies.

178
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.320
You tell your boy controller that we
want regulary kick. That's the whole reason

179
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.399
for this call. I'm still advocating
I would forget I too closed with that,

180
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.039
and until he changes it, I'm
a strike from McDonald's and I eat

181
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.519
a lot. So it's a little
Danny control o budget, know what I

182
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.360
mean? Man, Michael, how
many tensents did you go on? I

183
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.399
don't even know where to begin.
But with Zion, it's amazing because remember

184
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.200
those clips we saw maybe five six
years ago, just how crazy good he

185
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.000
was and all the things you could
do with being a big guy. And

186
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.639
then he does a little bit of
duke and then they flamed out and now

187
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.039
he's hearing we haven't got to see
much of that. No, he hasn't

188
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.639
lived up to the pill and eat
all. He is his potential when he's

189
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.399
on the courtyards a piece. But
the way he plays, he's like how

190
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.279
we talked about running back. He
is in a very limited time span.

191
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.360
You don't fight yellow bananas, you
fight green bananas. He's past being green

192
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.600
and the way he plays and the
way that he carries by getting his contract,

193
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.759
he's taught me the name or maybe
somewhere maybe scan Antonio. I'm not

194
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.200
saying they're gonna trade their first round
pick, but parm with that first round

195
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.919
pick and somebody like talking with him
into shape. But honestly, he's out

196
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.720
a league and he's a yellow banana. He's getting little dark spots on him,

197
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.879
like you guys like you Okay,
Bruce easily, baby all right,

198
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:54.240
Mike A man, thank you an
listening to us, Thank you, Mike.

199
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.440
Okay. Thing with Chuck Osborne,
Pat Hill told them stories about Chuck

200
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.240
Osbourne. He was he was a
defensive lineman on the Desert Desert and he

201
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.759
was just talking about what a crazy
dude that guy was. But just that

202
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.840
whole era of coaches. Yeah,
well we had time with them too.

203
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.960
We get to spend time with those
guys with it. I mean we you

204
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.279
know, we played poker with them
on the road. Right, that's too

205
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.720
much information stuff like that. But
yeah, no, they were fun and

206
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.559
then and then you know and they
you know, we trusted them, they

207
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.679
trusted us, and everything was just
fine, just like well, you know

208
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.000
what it all started to me at
least because it was a little after you

209
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.440
was Douglas, because we'd go to
that yeah, hang out, hang out

210
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.559
at at Carson's whatever it was.
I just remember, I think the place

211
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.519
is called car Shoot shoot the shoot
the stuff, shoot Pool. And butch

212
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.720
Henry would put all those country music
songs on the on the juke bole and

213
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.879
just kind of started. We go
there for like a week or so,

214
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.519
get infested by the fire, and
then that's where you get to know each

215
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.679
other, right, and and then
you had a good working relationship. Yeah,

216
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.720
we're back on that soapbox. We
get on that all the time.

217
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.360
Yeah. Well, maybe one of
these days, all right, maybe one

218
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.519
of these days. All right,
Well, let's let's go take our break.

219
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.200
Let's let's get Pat Paris on the
phone. We're gonna talk some Sugar

222
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.639
of a game earlier in the year
that San Diego won in overtime. It's

223
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.080

279
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.079
jail back me up. It's so
much easier to do a game when you

280
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.359
just did a game the previous Saturday. So you know, not that we

281
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.079
don't study. We study, and
you still have to study for this game

282
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.519
too, but at least you're more
familiar and it's really fresh in your mind.

283
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.319
Yeah. And and the you know, the team's changed a lot from

284
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.720
week to week. Do they have
a lot of change? You've you've every

285
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.440
team done, no, no,
but two or three new guys you know

286
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.839
each week? Oil, Yeah,
okay, you know because guy, you

287
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.319
know, guys getting injured on ir
and stuff like that, and then the

288
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:08.720
other team comes in like we had, Well, how many guys did I

289
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.359
have in my starting lineup on my
board last week? Pat? That weren't

290
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.599
even there for five or six or
the other guys. I mean, my

291
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.559
thing was all marked up. But
I just looked at that. I just

292
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.920
looked at San Diego though, and
their whole offense is the same as their

293
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.599
defense. There's only like two guys. Yeah, they've changed a lot in

294
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.000
five or six weeks. Let me
ask you having to deal with Jay here

295
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.720
for a while now, I'm sure
you guys on a scale of one to

296
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.559
ten fun, how much is it
fun? And then how much of it

297
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.400
is work? Oh, it's on
a scale of one to ten. It's

298
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.960
a it's an eight and a half
winner lose, it's a ten if they

299
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.480
win. Uh, And the work
part of it doesn't seem like much at

300
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.759
all. Yeah, it's a lot
of fun. Yeah, you know we

301
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.039
I mean, like said Pats,
I mean like I spent a good a

302
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.759
portion of my Saturday mornings, you
know, going through the players and that

303
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.400
kind of stuff. Well, when
that's done to me, the rest of

304
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.240
it is fun. You know,
at the game. It's one hundred percent

305
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.079
fun where you know, we're having
a good time to go down there,

306
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.200
talk to the coaches, talk to
the players and all that. So let

307
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:22.559
me do you have Do you each
of you have a signature line? Um?

308
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.599
I mean I think the way I
call touchdowns is for night today say

309
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.359
Tucsons sugar skull touchdown, and other
than that, there's not like a signature

310
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.960
line. I don't think it just
kind of all comes forth. I think

311
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.559
if your scripted or you think too
much about it, uh, then it

312
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.200
then it comes across that way.
Um. You know, I just make

313
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.799
sure Jay has some mini donuts and
he's ready to go and go and goes.

314
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.759
Yeah. You know. My whole
thing is I have to focus on

315
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.839
not swearing. Yeah, of course
you are here. That's that's my focus.

316
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.799
I just don't cuss, and I
haven't yet. So knock on what

317
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.000
knock on wood? So we got
a big game tomorrow. Pat. Uh,

318
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.839
you're mentioned that the last time San
Diego is Here's that a game that

319
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.400
they threw a hail Mary right on
the last play of the game, got

320
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.119
into overtime and then won the game. Um. I think those things are

321
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:15.319
kind of I don't know how much. How much do you think those things

322
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:21.079
hang on the players? Oh well, I hope I hope that they haven't

323
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.440
forgotten about it and they've been waiting
all this time to get back at the

324
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.119
at the at the sky Force because
the Strife Force. Because here here's the

325
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.920
thing. I hope that all week
in practice instead of just you know,

326
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.400
a one minute drill at the end
of practice, I hope at the end

327
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.759
of practice they're lining up and throw
a ball, making sure the defensive backs

328
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.759
remember to knock it down, right, that's all they have to knock it

329
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.680
down. If they knock that ball
down, which we all know that done,

330
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.200
they win that game instead of going
to double overtime and losing it.

331
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.480
So yeah, I you know,
all kidding aside, I hope that they

332
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.799
remember that. And it's still you
know, kind of rubs them the wrong

333
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.279
way, and they're and they're upset
and angry and and that's a game that

334
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.319
you never should have lost. But
now you have an opportunity again at home

335
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.279
to take on the same team that
you are better than. Let's let's be

336
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.400
on, they are better than the
Strike Force, and they need to win

337
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.240
this game in order to stay solidly
in a playoff spot. So if they

338
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.319
do that, then you know they'll
take their business and they'll have an excellent

339
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.680
chance to make a close season again. So let me ask you. You

340
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.960
guys, you've been through the two
years or three So can you say that

341
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.319
the team the team now has gotten
better into three years? Do teams get

342
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.640
better in the three years? Oh? I think so? I think what

343
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.000
what you know? Right out of
the gate, and Jay knows because he

344
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.519
was there in the first year.
Right out of the gate, they were

345
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:47.319
pretty good, right, and it's
it's not easy to be pretty good.

346
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.200
In fact, going to the playoffs, they were the first I think the

347
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.759
IFL team to ever go to the
playoffs in their first season. I think

348
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.839
it may have been done. They
were the first one. So they were

349
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.319
pretty good and and and then you
saw them kind of kind of, you

350
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.839
know, maintain that but not really
get a whole lot better. But I

351
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.240
think jayill probably back me up.
The difference about this team is they are

352
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.400
so much better defensively, and that
makes it so that even though their offense

353
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.960
isn't maybe as good as it was
last year, they're still winning more games

354
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.680
than they're losing. And every game
is going down, you know, going

355
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.319
down to the wire. So they're
they're in every game. I mean there

356
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.480
was you know, there was the
game a couple of weeks ago where they

357
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:30.880
you know, they got down or
jeez, I can't remember who was.

358
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.559
They're all blending into one, but
they got down nineteen to nothing. They

359
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:40.079
were never out of the game,
but they you know, they they didn't

360
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.759
come back and win it. But
you know what I see, Pat,

361
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.200
And then let me ask you,
let me ask it this way. You

362
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.079
know what we're in this year?
What fourth year? Or now? What?

363
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.279
What do you who do you think
the Sugar Skulls are both as an

364
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.079
organization and then maybe even you know, on the field, what do you

365
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.200
is there? Do we have the
definition of that yet? Do you think?

366
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.920
I think it's still a work in
progress as far as defining it goes.

367
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.279
There's one thing the Sugar cells Skulls
have been and maybe it's because of

368
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.480
the personnel, and that's they've always
been a team that runs the football as

369
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:17.920
well and power football. And that
probably has to do with the fact that

370
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.440
Mike Jones has been the feature back
for all four years. He's the face

371
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.119
of the franchise. But I think
that I think the the the you know,

372
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.960
the image of the team UM as
being maybe the second best, you

373
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.720
know, a team in Arizona,
although with Northern Arizona winning it last year,

374
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.039
maybe they were the third best team
last year in the IFL. But

375
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.279
as kind of as kind of the
second team in Arizona, I think they're

376
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.839
starting to mold a you know,
an identity that says, no, we're

377
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.759
tough, um We're we're We're not
Phoenix, We're Tucson. We can have

378
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.480
our own identity, identity and that's
just fine too. And I think that

379
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.039
identity he starts with running the football, and now it's taking on an identity

380
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.279
of a defensive minded team, a
team that can keep you in games because

381
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.799
of defense. And maybe that's more
of a blue collar mentality that I like,

382
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.880
you know, I like to see
that. I really I think maybe

383
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:21.000
that's more appropriate for Tucson is to
be a little more blue collar than than

384
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:26.759
some of the flashy you know,
Bay Area or Phoenix can be. Yeah.

385
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.480
So, And the difference because you
guys have had three different coaches right

386
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.960
each of the years have been the
third coach and the third coach, and

387
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.799
they're all affable pretty much. Yeah
right, Yeah, every one of them

388
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:40.119
has been very, very very good
to deal with him, and that sure

389
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.799
helps with your with your jobs.
Oh, there's no question. And I

390
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.000
think you know, as good as
each one has been, they've all been.

391
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:49.799
They've all been a little different personality
wise. But you know, the

392
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.799
thing that's about hurt his chin and
this year is said coach. He just

393
00:25:53.880 --> 00:26:00.920
has this infectious smile, an infectious
personality. He's always he's upbeat. Even

394
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.000
a lot, he still finds a
way to to, you know, put

395
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.200
a smile on it and put a
spin on it. I think he's been

396
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.119
a real pleasure to work with.
I think we knew that going in that

397
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.279
he was going to be a lot
of fun to deal with, and he

398
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.599
has that. Yeah, no doubt
so. Pat In terms of you know,

399
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.200
I got to ask you that was
you know, I followed you.

400
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.599
I went on Justin Show on Monday
and they asked me, you know,

401
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.920
Ali said something about, you know, we need a game that doesn't go

402
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.039
down to the last second or the
last play or an extra play. They

403
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.119
asked me, you know how we
handle that? I said, I get

404
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.079
stomach ache. I get a stomach
ache, you know from from the game

405
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.480
just all knot it up. You
know, we haven't had an easy game,

406
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.480
you know, because you just get
so tensed up with the excitement of

407
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.920
it. And that's how I that's
how I feel about it. I don't

408
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.279
know how you take those, but
I mean, we need an easy game,

409
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.640
don't we. I would love an
easy game. It's that simple.

410
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.240
I would love an easy I would
love a game where they get it,

411
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.799
they get up by nineteen and then
just kind of coast with it, you

412
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.480
know, three two to three score
lead, you know, all the way

413
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.480
the rest of the way. Um, I don't know that. I get

414
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:15.640
stomach aches, but I'm worn out
by the end that that and you you

415
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.359
know, you feel like you played
the game in a way and we did.

416
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.440
We don't obviously we're just standing up
in a in a booth, but

417
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.359
you you just you get, you
get emotionally spent, and you get,

418
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:29.240
you know, physically, you're just
kind of dream Yeah. You know,

419
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.839
we've had a team that's that's six
and four, but remember they've only won

420
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.799
what two games at home? They
got to win more. They got they

421
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.640
gotta win more, and we need
to we need to see that continue the

422
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:47.000
rest of the way. And wouldn't
you just love to see a post just

423
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.519
FJ gets more stomach aches. I'd
like to see a home game in the

424
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.480
postseason, you know, Pat,
You know, because I was thinking last

425
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.799
week's game, the last sixteen seconds
took like twenty minutes. It was,

426
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.160
you know, because there were there
were there were three three challenges, There

427
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.200
was a pile up in the in
the corner of the end zone for a

428
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.400
fumball. There were a bunch of
different calls, all kinds of it took

429
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.480
it took forever to get to the
end of that, and you just gnawed

430
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.200
it up the whole time because everything
was writing on that. I mean,

431
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.240
I felt if they lost that game, you know, last Saturday, they

432
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.839
were in big trouble for the playoffs. Yeah, and I think you and

433
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.160
I are both done trying to predict
what they're going to call on those replaced

434
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.160
too, because what we see and
what they see are clearly two different things.

435
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.640
But uh, you know, it's
it's part of the game. At

436
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.359
least they have instant replay, let's
put it that way. And and I

437
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.920
and I'm I'm thankful for that,
but yeah, they take forever sometimes,

438
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.200
and you know that's just the nature
of the beach when you have to run

439
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.480
all the way down to the other
end of the field and look at the

440
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.359
monitor, and you know, get
calls. But you know, I think

441
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.920
in the end, it all,
it all worked out for the Sugar skull

442
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.039
last week, and that's all that
matters. I guess is they they win

443
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.559
it. They find a way to
win it, and now they're on a

444
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.079
little bit of a role. Yeah, Pat, if I could we have

445
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.960
some time here four minutes or so. I don't know you all that well,

446
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:08.119
you were here before. I think
you're a native. I could be

447
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.119
wrong. You left, you came
back, and now you've made a two

448
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.680
sound of home again. Could you
tell me what's your thoughts on the fan

449
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.119
base when you were here, then
you left, and now you're back,

450
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.079
not so much to the Sugar Sculls, but just as a whole, well,

451
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.480
you know, as a whole.
I think this has always been a

452
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.319
really good college sports town. And
yeah, I grew up here, went

453
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.640
away and my parents have lived here
the entire time, so I came back

454
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.400
a lot. So this has always
been my home base and my home We

455
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:42.240
moved back about seven a little over
seven years ago, and you know,

456
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:49.160
what I've noticed is things like anyway
and and basketball's king and football. You

457
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.400
know, we all route hard football
and it is what it is. But

458
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.839
what I've noticed really is with the
two Sound road Runners and now the two

459
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:03.319
Sound Sugar Skulls, um there's there's
a real reason to go down to Tucson

460
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.359
Arena, and you get a core
fan base for both of those teams.

461
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:08.559
And some of them are same fans. I mean, it's to be honest,

462
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.920
some of them road Runner fans and
Sugar Skulls fans are probably the same,

463
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:19.279
the same fans, but they're really
passionate and uh, they really get

464
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.920
a lot of entertainment for their for
their buck because it's it's affordable. And

465
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.119
I think that's you know, kind
of a hallmark of what the Roadrunners have

466
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.720
been, and that's what the hallmark
of what the Sugar Skulls are as great

467
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.680
value for your family and you're gonna
have fun. And I just think it

468
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:42.200
really helps Tucson and an image of
Okay, they've got the Shell franchise for

469
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.640
the for the Coyotes, and they've
got the Sugar Skulls team something to do

470
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:52.000
in the summer, and you know, maybe some all back and and that'll

471
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.119
you know, be yet another maybe
the cherry on top of the Sunday.

472
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.200
But for right now, things are
going pretty well and I and I for

473
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.000
one, I'm really happy that we
have this indoor football a team. Yeah,

474
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:04.119
it's it's it's been a lot of
fun. I've enjoyed it, and

475
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.000
I, for you, have had
the fortune to even though I had that

476
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.599
little little hiccup of a time as
the you know in the front office that

477
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.759
you know and ended badly for everybody, But you know, I've I've enjoyed

478
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.279
being a part of the organization from
from day one and I feel I feel

479
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.680
good about it in terms of what
it's done right. It's there. There's

480
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.519
never been time like there was.
I you know, let's you know,

481
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.599
the San Diego had a tough start, you know, the first part of

482
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.480
the first season, and after that, you know, they wan't got off

483
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.440
to a rough start, and to
see them thriving now and doing so much

484
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.200
better. They've beaten the shirts calls
the last few times they've come to juice

485
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.599
on, so uh, you know, it's it's kind of it's it's kind

486
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:42.039
of cool to be a part of
this. I've I've enjoyed being being a

487
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.680
big part of who say the games
that the games are a lot of fun.

488
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.839
I think for the both of us. Yeah, And I go back

489
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.920
to I go back to Winton Guy. He first approached me. I know

490
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.920
what made about. It might have
been the Summer of Light seventeen and he

491
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:01.559
said, you know, I really
want to bring the team down to Tucson.

492
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.640
What do you think? So we
talked a little bit. Later we

493
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:10.319
talked even more, and I just
get the sense that Kevin knew that this

494
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.200
was the right fit for an Indoor
Football League team. And I think he

495
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.480
really likes Tucson because you know,
kids going to U of A and they

496
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.599
like spending time down here. And
I think what that really did is that

497
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:30.039
it added a lot of credibility to
to Tucson having a franchise because Kevin Guy

498
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.160
was involved. And Kevin Guy,
of course everybody knows when he when he

499
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.200
was in the Arena Football League,
they were winning championships. He helped make

500
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:43.160
the call to move theres On Rattlers
to the Indoor Football League and it was

501
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:49.319
a brilliant move because the Arena Football
it's gone now, it doesn't even exist.

502
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.960
He made the right call to get
that team into the league that he

503
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.960
thought was going to survive and thrive. And I don't think you know,

504
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:01.200
maybe maybe you'll disagree, Jay,
but I I don't think that the Inundoor

505
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.279
Football League ever been better and more
healthy, and I think it's better right

506
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.000
now than then in the Arena League
was, uh, you know, the

507
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:13.920
last five seven years of that existence, it was really struggling. But I

508
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.799
think the IFL has got one now
and it's working really well. And now

509
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:24.720
you've got the championship games in Las
Vegas and and everything's happening with sports in

510
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.279
Las Vegas. So it's a great
time to be in this indoor Football league.

511
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.920
All right, Pat, appreciate you
coming on today. I'll see you

512
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:39.039
tomorrow. We'll uh we'll have some
fun. Yeah, hopefully no stomach aches

513
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:44.720
for you. He still thinks he's
part of the team or something. Well,

514
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:45.880
you know, hey, look,
as we always say, Steve,

515
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.680
it's more fun coving a team that's
winning the lose. That's right, all

516
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.440
right, Pat, thanks again,
appreciate it. All right, you guys,

517
00:33:53.480 --> 00:34:00.799
take care of From from the King
on nine Group nine news anchor.

518
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.440
But also you know, he did, I mean, he was he was

519
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.360
a broadcaster for the Auld Arena Football
League. You know, famously he covered

520
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.400
the Barnstormers. He was there play
by play guy with the Barnstormers, Kurt

521
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.400
Kurt Warner and all that period of
time. Okay, he's got some history

522
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:19.039
with him that that doesn't surprise me
that when Kevin Guy was looking him to

523
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.800
see if Tusson was a viable place
for a team, that Pat Paris was

524
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.440
one of the guys that he went
to for that, because Pat, you

525
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.079
know, Pat has that knowledge.
So all right, let's go take our

at the Ludolson era. In my
new book, Lessons from Loot, it

532
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.559
was a labor of love through the
eyes of twenty five former players, coaches

533
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.599
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them competed

00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.239
against them and inspired them. Twenty
five chapter for his twenty five years as

well you know those first well that's
why you know those first two. Listening

662
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:23.239
to those, I felt like you

663
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:27.719
didn't he Sure he lived in my
house. We had the same dad,

664
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.639
we had the same mom, We
had the same aunts and uncles, we

665
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.159
had the same brothers. People,
I don't know what your kids, they

666
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:40.079
probably didn't experience that because you're more
uh, you're Americans, that's the same.

667
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:43.840
I didn't know what to say.
I'm way more Caucasian than my parents

668
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:47.760
were. That's kind of where I
wanted to go without saying that because we

669
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.480
were not we were probably spoiled from
the previous people. But no, let

670
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.079
me say, put dirt on and
get out there and go out and you

671
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.320
know, come back when come back, when you come back. You know,

672
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.480
there was no dinner bell, there
was you know, eat the hose,

673
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.079

blah. The kids today you're like,

674
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:06.159
oh, he neglected me. No, shout up. We just don't

675
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.719
care about you. I shouldn't tell
this story about my my dire departed mom,

676
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:14.400
but I will and dad, did
you ever listen to or hear the

677
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:21.599
the skit about when his it was
either his uncle or his dad was having

678
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:24.000
a heart attack, And and he's
and he's telling the little kid. He's

679
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:28.159
telling George, you know, go, you know, go get your mom.

680
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:29.880
You know, I'm having a heart
attack. He keeps going, I

681
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:34.039
have a pain in my chest and
I can't brief. He's telling the kid

682
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.280
to go to go get his mom
to take him to the hospital. And

683
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.920
so he goes and the mom is
talking to the neighbor over the fence,

684
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.360
and the mom keeps him to just
get the hell away, and he just

685
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.800
stands here and wait, and he
waits and he waits, and then finally

686
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:51.440
he gets her attensive. You know, I think his grandfather or uncle or

687
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.079
whatever's happening. He has a pain
in his chest. So she goes in

688
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:58.639
and gives him mother craft and they're
take him the hospital. My dad fell

689
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:00.480
off a roof. Okay, we
we had a rental house down the street.

690
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:04.119
My dad was doing something on the
cool or anything, and I was

691
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:07.199
I went over there with him.
He fell off the route hold. I'm

692
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.320
fine, maybe six He falls off
the roof right. He broke his foot,

693
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:14.119
he broke his ankle, and he
couldn't get up, and he tells

694
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:16.639
me go home and get your mom. And I couldn't get my mom to

695
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:21.639
leave to come and help my dad
until after her soap opera was over.

696
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:27.039
That's like, that's a chat.
That's a we call it. That's a

697
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.440
the woman who the who do you
call it? The channel where we watched

698
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:31.639
all the type of dayline no,
no, no deadline, but the other

699
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:37.360
one it was up, h slashed
or dad. He'll be okay, okay,

700
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:40.800
I'm like, my dad's hurt.
I'll be there in a minute.

701
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:44.159
I'll be there in a minute.
Fifteen minutes later, you know, as

702
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:45.840
the world turns ends. And then
she goes and gets them and he had

703
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:47.679
to go to the hospital. He
had surgery and the whole bit. So

704
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:51.519
he was laid there on the concrete
with a busted ankle. I'm sure he

705
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:53.400
was mad at me, thinking I
hadn't done my job to get my mom

706
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.920
go help him. They put his
thing. And this is kind of not

707
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:01.119
applying to that, but my grandfather
of my mom said that I stayed with

708
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:02.760
them for a little bit, like
a week, or something, and he

709
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:06.719
was I didn't know this, so
he said, go get me in my

710
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.480
boots through the through the pink ones
in the closet. So okay, I'm

711
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.760
fibered. Like you go in the
closet, couldn't find any boots when we

712
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:21.679
told them, they're not there.
You know, yeah, blah blah blah,

713
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.280
you go back and find them.
Pop, there's not there. They're

714
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:29.280
not there. Well, he,
like me, were color blind, so

715
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.039
so what the hell I'm looking for
Peak Peak boots? What the hell lit

716
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.760
Peak boots? They were green,
they were combat there were boots. They

717
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:42.440
were boots. That is now I
know where I get my color blood in

718
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.280
this now. But anyway, well
guy, we went off at the Tangent

719
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:47.719
there with George Lopez. I love
I love his his conversations about going to

720
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.440
Disneyland, Yeah, going to Dodger
Stadium. I mean again, he lived

721
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.679
in our house. He talks about
his the backyard, wedding, all that

722
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:02.000
stuff. It's it's hilarious stuff.
We knew. I knew all the characters.

723
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.400
Somebody goes the emergency rooms, so
the whole family goes that. That

724
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.679
whole thing, Oh god, every
bit of that. I think it's more

725
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.400
applies to a lot of small talents
too, or small neighborhoods. Yeah,

726
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.840
like, you know, just small
and not where you live now. We're

727
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:20.000
probably where I live now, but
it's small. But you know, growing

728
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.480
up, you know, my my
family, my cousins, and you know,

729
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.480
we kind of all lived in the
same area. Yeah, and everybody

730
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:29.159
knew everybody's you know, and you
went to everybody's house, and every holiday

731
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:32.079
it was a family reunion. Everybody
went to one place, you know,

732
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.840
whether Easter or Christmas. Oh god, Christmas Eve at our house. It's

733
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.400
crazy, you know. I'll say
this about my mama, who I love

734
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.360
very much and still a life.
So I don't know if this happens to

735
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.519
you. You go see your relatives. She goes in first, obviously,

736
00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:51.559
and then then I go in or
whatever? Did you say hello to your

737
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:53.880
grandmother? I mean, mom,
I'm not even in the door. I'm

738
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:58.159
not even in the door. Can
I just get in the house first?

739
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.679
Small? Yeah you don't. Oh

okay, we're leaving so we finished
doing whatever we're playing, I can go

standing there by the door, and another

744
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.800
thirty minutes, yeah, right,
another thirty minutes. They're standing there talking

745
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:21.840
and saying goodbye as we couldn't play
another thirty minutes. And that the thing

746
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.679
about that is we do that now, we did that to our kids.

747
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.280
We say we're leaving, and then
you know, half an hour later we

748
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.840

754
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:54.079
went to my grandmother's house and I
never even went in the house. We

755
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:59.079
just stayed homeside. We just stayed
outside because the little kids weren't supposed to

756
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.320
be in in the house. Yeah, we were not supposed to be in

black and white one. Yeah,

766
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:37.239
really it wasn't realistic. But you
know, you got to get by a
