Yeah, yeah, I think that one just came across and there's 24 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.439 a lot of you know, people were saying already good for both teams, 25 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.319 right, I mean I wouldn't know, but sounds like an okay thing, 26 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.280 you know, that's what That's what those are supposed to be, right, 27 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.480 nobody's supposed to be, you know, losing losing a trade like that. 28 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.280 So yeah, and you see how that how that works out. From the 29 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.120 twenty twenty four year euro Tournament, Uh, the Georgia national team be Portugal 30 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:15.639 into two to one game and doing so, the team received ten million dollars 31 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.400 from the ex Prime Minister and they can double it with the win, I 32 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.240 believe tomorrow. So think they play Spain or somebody that is one of the 33 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.319 favorites. That's a million dollars a player or something like that. Yeah, 34 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:37.000 whoa god? That what good for them? I guess I'm speechless on that. 35 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.840 I mean the next morning with an extra page.

I believe. So, man, party hard, let's 40 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.439 go. They got some extra motivation. Let's go to a nicer Sundays game 41 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.840 too. Holy cow? All right, very cool to the NFL. The 42 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.680 rules. NFL violated the anti trust laws and the Sunday and yeah, we 43 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.159 talked about that yesterday. I ranted on it. Yeah, so has a 44 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:14.199 long time. Yeah Sunday ticket subscriber. I go for the people. You 45 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.800 know, they fought for it. So yeah, but it's again, it's 46 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.240 a long way from anybody getting anything. It's just years away from but still, 47 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.039 you know, the it's the it's the NFL getting called out for being 48 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:36.360 budheads to college football a Cincinnati football star Dante corleone UH looking there were He's 49 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.680 been looked at as an NFL prospect highly highly looked at highly. He's out 50 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:47.159 indefinitely with blood clots. He was UH hospitalized you in fourteenth after complaining with 51 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.879 chest discomfort and shortness of breath and the that the school released in a UH 52 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.759 statement on Friday. But he's home recovering with no time to but with his 53 00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.960 position defensive defensive linement for Cincinnati. God, you know, that's man. 54 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.400 You work all your life to do, you know, to put yourself in 55 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.360 that position and then something like that he rails you. That's sad. He 56 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.919 said. He does hope to come back, but he just doesn't know whether 57 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.479 it when timetable is for that for what that would be. But again best 58 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:20.439 goes out to him and his family. Speedy recovery came out yesterday. But 59 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.879 the Notre Dame in Michigan state football programs are going to be redoing their rivalry 60 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.720 with the games announced for the twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven football season. 61 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.480 Cool twenty twenty six, UH, the Spartan will travel of South Bend 62 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.680 and then the next year the Irish will go to east Land season. All 63 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.040 right, that'll be fun. You know those I'm like Notre Dame in Michigan 64 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.639 used to play every year. Now they don't. It's like, come on, 65 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.160 man, play those games. Oh I my hope with the new leagues, 66 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.240 right because you see all these games now with you got Oregon. You 67 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.959 know Oregon, who's gonna have to play you know how State in Michigan. 68 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.000 Still there's a lot more really good games that we're gonna see. But with 69 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.519 the playoff now, you know, losing a non conference game to a really 70 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.319 good team, you're not risking that anymore, right, you know, losing 71 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.160 that out of the playoff because you know, when there were only four spots, 72 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.639 you didn't want to be lose. You know, you're gonna have to 73 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.639 be undefeated or have one loss, and so you would play three teams that 74 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.800 you know who's asked you could kick. I'm hoping that now with the automatic 75 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.000 bids and that kind of stuff, that some of these games like Texas plays 76 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.079 Michigan this year, Notre Dame plays Texas, A and M to open the 77 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.639 season, Georgia plays Clemson to open the season, that will see more games 78 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.519 like that because losing a game like that no longer means you're out of the 79 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.759 national championship. So I hope we see a lot more of that to the 80 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:53.079 Arizona Softball World. They announced today the edition of Casher Slash utility player Sidney 81 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.600 Stewart, a junior transfer from Washington. That's official now. During her two 82 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.519 seasons at Washington, she totaled ninety one games, played ten doubles, seven 83 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.079 home runs, and twenty eight RBIs. And she's a sophomore. I think 84 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.120 junior. You're going to be a junior. Yeah, all right, we're 85 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.480 trying to get Kate. We've been trying to get Kaitlin Low. She's busy, 86 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.680 right, so I don't want we're gonna Does she know who we are? 87 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.519 That's why, that's why she she actually knows who he does. You 88 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.720 know what, you know what, We're gonna have to call it Danny Martinez 89 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.000 and say, dude, you need to step up and get her on the 90 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.519 shutter for us. All right, do you both remember the name DJ Burns 91 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.839 junior? Yeah? Oh, the North Fines State guy. Yeah. He 92 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.319 unfortunately went draft undrafted, right, but was immediately signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. 93 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.920 Right, It's funny it's funny because well, we saw all the international 94 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.560 players right get picked out. It's been happening for a while now, so 95 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.879 all the college guys have been kind of shootout. How much did you have 96 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.879 a lot of stuff there? Not a lot that he's just gonna be playing 97 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.000 this well, something I wanted to bring up a couple days ago to so 98 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.279 killer gloves back. Right, he's playing here and didn't get a sniff kind 99 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.680 of I don't know what term to use, but he's not in the pros 100 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.279 think of the stuff, and he's pretty good, right, tell tells you, 101 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.720 tells you how much how much better he has to get and how he 102 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.639 needs to improve because he was not and you saw the people they were drafting, 103 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.600 he was not in that legs. That tells you that there's issues with 104 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.600 his game. Well he's a he's a really good player, but there's some 105 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.000 things missing. Right, what is what we found out? And I mean 106 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.160 and when you think about how good he is in our way that we know 107 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.480 that he's good, right, and how good he is and yet not even 108 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.079 as you say, not even a sniff that you know to be drafted tells 109 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.879 you how good you got to be? Right, And and and part right, 110 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.319 and part is we don't know about all these guys on the international say, 111 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.240 yeah, we see all these college players, but you know, we 112 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.120 don't know who's out there. Sure, and you know it's their job, 113 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.920 the NBA scouts and stuff to know that. I mean, how how many 114 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.680 international guys were in the you know, or non college guys a bunch or 115 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.680 you know, got drafted in the in the two you know, in the 116 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.800 two rounds, half a third you know, a lot of us, right, 117 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.279 And that's just the way of the world. This is not for the 118 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.800 faint of heart if you're a player, right, because there are very few 119 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.720 spots for you. And then good luck with that. You can make a 120 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.600 ton of money obviously in Europe. But we saw how good he is, 121 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.360 Caleb, and he's there was still no rule. Well, and and you 122 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.200 think again, you think about that, these guys know each other, right, 123 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.840 All the college players know who all the good college players are. And 124 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.759 you're saying, okay, I got to be better than these guys. But 125 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.759 then there's a whole wave of guys overseas that they're that they're not even paying 126 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.720 attention to. And and you go, okay, I thought I was in 127 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.799 the top twenty five college players. Well, I dropped down to fifty. 128 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.879 When you were on you, when you yeah, overall, when you add 129 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.600 in, when you add in the the other guys. I remember when I 130 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.960 first took the beat, the Beat for basketball back in nineteen ninety ninety one, 131 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:11.039 lout And and the Cincinnati coach, the former Cincinnati coach, Grumpy Bob 132 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.879 Huggins. We're doing a doing a Nike thing in Phoenix, and so I 133 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.000 went to cover that and we talked about the international players. And this is 134 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.879 the nineteen ninety when it was kind of like still fresh and they were doing 135 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.879 clinics all over Europe or whatever. And Luke was talking about just in a 136 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.120 few years, do you and how we spoke, what's gonna happen. They're 137 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.440 going to come in and do you know, take the jobs and lo and 138 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.320 behold after all. You know, it's like Tendre I started this, started 139 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.679 this thing about softball, right, and now it's everywhere. These guys are 140 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.360 coaching in Europe and now they're here. Yeah yeah, yeah, no, 141 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.360 yeah, they are and they are here and they're here to stay. Yeah, 142 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.279 they're getting better. Number one and two picks right went from France and 143 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.600 Australia. Yeah, you know, crazy, I'm doing it as you're going 144 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.360 along. I'm doing account of how many at least at least twenty I think. 145 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.320 Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry. Last thing I have is that 146 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.519 you mentioned earlier. EA Sports has released some of the rankings for their new 147 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.240 video game, releasing July eighteenth, some of them being the toughest stadiums to 148 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.080 play, Texas A and M Kyle Field being number one, but they also 149 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.639 released the offense and the defensive ratings. Arizona was a number fifteen in the 150 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.519 offense. They didn't show for the defensive rating, but today they released the 151 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.120 overall rating of the top twenty five teams. Arizona made it in at twenty 152 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:35.159 three. Well, what has everyone talking is that Colorado's number sixteen? Okay, 153 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:43.159 I laugh. I you know what that's. That's about gaining attention to 154 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.840 the game, right Yeah. People who follow loved Deon Sanders and love all 155 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.559 the stuff that's going on. YadA, YadA, YadA. We want people 156 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.639 to come guard game. We want them to you know, get Shador Sanders 157 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.200 and make them like the best player in the game and all that stuff. 158 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.240 Interesting stuff. I you know, I'm not. I'm still not sold on 159 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.919 Dion Sanders as a good overall head coach. I don't know if you are, 160 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.320 Steve No. I think the jury is still out. He's still doing 161 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.759 his rounds. You know, we're gonna running in America and all that stuff. 162 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.679 And I think one of the guys asked him, but what are you 163 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.159 gonna do when the kids are gone? And he, you know, went 164 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.919 on his rent. They follow me, I don't follow them. So we'll 165 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.960 see what happens. And everyone talks about the NFL. There's no guarantee that 166 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.679 they're gonna play in the NFL. They're gonna be good right to play in 167 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.080 the NFL. Yeah, so you're right, Okay, I just did the 168 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:39.039 count. Fifty eight draft picks, eleven international players, and then another another 169 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:48.600 four fifteen Another four were G league G League players, So there were I 170 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.039 mean, you know, it's still a majority of college sixteen. But let's 171 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.039 look at the top. What the top in the top twelve, there were 172 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.279 four international players, so a third of the the uh a third of the 173 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.840 top twelve player picks for international players. So you know, and then and 174 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.879 as we said, the top two, So yeah, I mean that that's 175 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.240 where the game is and and again. You know, I'm Caleb Love probably 176 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:20.279 wasn't thinking about Zach Ree the number one pick where Alex started the number two 177 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.000 pick when he was thinking about who he's better than? You know who, 178 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.120 you know, whether or not I mean draft, Just tell you who was 179 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.960 the For all you guys, could you watch college basketball too? Right? 180 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.679 Who's the best college player you saw last year? I'm thinking more in person 181 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.240 for me, but I know you didn't go as many games. The best 182 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:46.960 player in person, I'm gonna I'm gonna say Zach Edy. Okay, okay, 183 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.519 I mean here's you know, he was beast. I saw him at 184 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.559 the Final four, and you know the only the only other games I saw 185 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.039 were the Pack twelve tournament games and then Arizona's home games. You know, 186 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.000 there was nobody in the Pack twelve that just jumped out at me. They 187 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.840 kept saying this Cody Williams, guy was they had They had three dudes at 188 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.080 Colorado, and you're thinking, what the hell? How come Colorado wasn't any 189 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.080 better than what it was? Cody Williams went ten. I liked Tristan the 190 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.240 Silva a lot, but he didn't knock my socks off Okay, So did 191 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.639 you watch who's your best college player that you saw? I would also agree, 192 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.080 Zach ed Yeah, you could take anyone from that Yukon team. Yeah, 193 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.000 anyone. See the one the one guy that I don't know if he's 194 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.679 a pro player, but he was fantastic was the kid from from Florida International, 195 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.039 the guard who but but see, I saw him as a guy who 196 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.879 had a great day. No, he's good. Yeah, he's good because 197 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.200 he's making banquet, that was shooting. He was he went somewhere Florida. 198 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.679 He went somewhere in Arkansas, Arkansas. That's where he's gonna go get paid 199 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.240 with with Cali party and he's gonna light it up and let him play. 200 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.080 Yeah, he was fantastic that day. And yeah, but he's very good, 201 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.000 right, I mean there were some guys who just lit up Arizona. 202 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.039 You go, okay, you know the two guards from Purdue. I didn't 203 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.279 see any of that at the final four from those two guys, right, 204 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.799 I saw none of that. Uh you know, Kyle Philipowski, did you 205 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.200 know? So he was when I first when I went to Duke there, 206 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:18.919 he was very good. At the time I saw him, he was good. 207 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.480 But then he just kind of leveled up. Yeah, he didn't impress 208 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.960 me a whole hell lot. So yeah, I think it was that. 209 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.000 I literally thought, you know, after watching Zach Edie in the semi final 210 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.159 game in the final four, I thought, man, producing, uh, 211 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.399 Connecticut is gonna have a tough time with him. Well they didn't because he 212 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.679 he got his but nobody else got anything. And that's how Connecticut won that 213 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.480 game by a lot.

Hey, 288 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.920 welcome back to Eying the ball. Here a Fox Sports Fortune fifty. 289 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.880 I'm Steve Riverta. He's Jacobs os. Now on the phone. We have 290 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.400 George Monies from Short Time Cards. George, how are you? I'm doing 291 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.240 well. How are you guys? We're doing well. Thank you. Jay 292 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.160 had some questions. We are they standing in line outside your shop waiting for 293 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.400 their Bronnie James jerseys? How funny you laugh? Jay, Dave. Actually 294 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.680 we've had several calls on his on his jersey. I was like, we 295 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.039 don't sell jerseys and I don't think they're available, but you can't pre order 296 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:30.519 them, Okay? And then I was sure to see what number he would 297 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.920 get he wore. I think he woren't six. That's sc and obviously his 298 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.039 dad wars that he's not going to give his jersey up. But I think 299 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.799 they're going with nine, right, they got the see again, it started 300 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.640 showing up on my on my feeds today because they released it fanatics. Has 301 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:52.359 he emailed me a thousand times to bry buy Bronnie James jersey? So so 302 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.279 let me ask him just in general though, is there a market for him 303 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:57.759 or will there be one? Do you think? Or if there isn't one, 304 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.839 what would it take for them to be market for his stuff? No, 305 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.960 there is a market. There's obviously there's a huge market, and there 306 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.640 was one even when he had just a Sea card, his USC cards and 307 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:14.839 his collectible as autographs. Is they gonna Is they gonna appreciate in value? 308 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.680 I doubt it. I think this is the highest you can get. So 309 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.160 next year when you pull his cards, his new Laker rookie autograph cards, 310 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.720 my advice sell sell, sell sell, Well it's high, you know, 311 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:32.000 because he's I mean, he could be a good role player, you know, 312 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.720 off the bench, But I mean he's not gonna be if he had 313 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.960 three inches on him maybe, you know, because he's got potential and he 314 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.319 could be a defensive player. But that's about it. What what do you 315 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.920 mean by high high high? How high could it be? Uh? Well, 316 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.640 his autograph cards are already selling in his USC they're sorry, not five 317 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.559 hundred dollars and some of them could go up to two three thousand dollars, 318 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.720 which is it's ridiculous to me someone like that, I mean even for him 319 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.319 to get drafted was ridiculous, obviously. I'm sure you guys talked about that 320 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.599 already. R But let me ask you. Would you have one of his 321 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.680 cards? We do not, but they've pulled several at the shop. I 322 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.319 do not own one or what would like to own one? And I'm a 323 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.839 Lakers fand I love the Lakers. But so you're not in that marketing for 324 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:25.359 him, then no. But he does have a dual autograph with his dad 325 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.200 at one on one and they pulled it. I don't know what to speculation 326 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.480 because they haven't sold it yet, but I think it's in the sixth figure 327 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.400 ring. So one hundred thousand a dual autograph one on one car it's absurd. 328 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.839 So there's only one of those is what you're saying. Yeah, there's 329 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.759 only one. There's only one existed, and they put in a product and 330 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.559 it sold a lot of packs of that product or a lot of boxes. 331 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.599 But so it might be a cool card just to have a dual a dual 332 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.240 card to them. You know, it's a historical thing and you know that's 333 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:03.079 a cool thing, a collection. But you know, so, so what 334 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.440 did they do? So the whatever whatever brand they they signed, they said, 335 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.759 Okay, we're putting one, this one card out in a box somewhere 336 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.240 and everybody go buy it and see if you get it. Now that works, 337 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.000 yeah, kind of like Willie Want Got. What happened was Lebron James 338 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:23.000 was exclusive with Upper Decks for years, per decades or a couple of decades. 339 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:29.079 And it's just like Michael Jordan, he's exclusive with Upper Decks Fanatics. 340 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.000 The one that we're talking about the jerseys makes the jerseys stuff. They they 341 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.400 just got the licenses for the for the sports cards and they actually bought Tops 342 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.839 right, So they lured Lebron James out of his Upper Deck contract into a 343 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:48.039 Top Fanatics exclusive contract. The first card they did the deal with, he 344 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.599 signed that card with his son, and there was the one to one and 345 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.599 they put it in a product. They put it actually in a tops product, 346 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.720 a baseball product, and they sold a ton of it. It was, 347 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.559 and they had a bounty out there for one hundred thousand, and someone 348 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.359 pulled it. But I don't think he accepted the bounty. He didn't. 349 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.920 He didn't send them a card and get his one hundred thousand, so it's 350 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.599 probably more than that. Wow, Well, how do the international players go? 351 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.799 Are they worth keeping selling it? Did? It used to be the 352 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.960 case? You know, international players, as good as they were, they 353 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.720 would not get any hobby love, you know. However, things have changed 354 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.599 with Lemby when Bayama. You know, obviously this draft, top top six 355 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:41.240 players were French players. You even had an African League player. And actually 356 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.640 the best player I think is the Serbian player. I can't remember his name. 357 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.480 He was drafted like number twelve and he won the euro Championship. I 358 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.160 think he was with Oklahoma City Thunder. He's going to be good. He's 359 00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:00.200 actually a eight punth player. But typically, you know, they do not 360 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.920 get hobby love. However, things have changed, so one ever knows. 361 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:11.279 I call it geek glove. Let me along those lines. Are you're the 362 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.039 leader of the geeks witch, Yeah, I am the leader of geek in 363 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.079 our club, in the geek club. So do you do you get more 364 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.519 love from the guys who grew up with this stuff, like older guys or 365 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:30.240 the young crowd kind of coming in doing the same thing. And things have 366 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.799 changed so pre COVID so five years ago, it was all older people that 367 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.599 I would be the youngest guy in the in the room, you know, 368 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.400 at a show. It was all Now it's changed now I'm the oldest guy 369 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.400 in the room and it's all kids. One of my workers is Max. 370 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.640 He's been one of me since he was thirteen. He's twenty two. Now 371 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.240 it's that age group now, you know, and it's kind of so it's 372 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.559 actually cool to be a geek or a collector geek because there's money in it. 373 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.720 So so things have definitely changed, you know. It's definitely a younger 374 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:06.079 genre now. Well okay, yeah, well Jay and I were gonna collect 375 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:07.559 our Nicola. Well, well I'm still waiting for my show. Hey, 376 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:14.559 card George, I'm still it all right, I'll bring it to you next 377 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.119 week. Lets get you all right. Well, okay, what we got 378 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.079 to get we have to get see a card. What card should we get 379 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:23.720 him? No, you don't need to know what? You know what and 380 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:29.079 Arizona. No, George, don't get him anything, okay, because he's 381 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.559 a grump and he says I'm not a fan, and so don't get him 382 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.200 anything. He really is a fan. Right, we are discovered that she 383 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.559 went to the game. I don't need a car. I don't see you 384 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.599 know, Okay, I got one. I got one. Get him, 385 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:47.079 get him Cruz a Delacruz card. That's right, you'll take a Dela Cruise 386 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.960 card. He actually he actually got in his car and went drove to one 387 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.240 hundred and twenty miles to a game to see Elie Delacruz. So the fact 388 00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.400 that he did that means that's the card he needs. If we were to 389 00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:04.119 camp or something, we would have seen he was all geared up he did, 390 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.799 and he's not a fan. The underwear, I bet it, the 391 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.799 whole thing. Georgia. We're gonna cut your mic off right now. We're 392 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:17.039 talking to George Mitis from Showtime Cards. We've had We've had this conversation before. 393 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.119 Does it does it go in basically the time of the year as what's 394 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.240 most popular, like right now is the NBA what everybody's talking about because the 395 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:32.079 ternal it's seasonal. Yeah, so's NBA. We're transitioning to the draft has 396 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.799 happened. The finals just happened. So NBA is definitely still you know, 397 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:42.000 that's the hot sport come August and NFL's coming in and then it's all football. 398 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.079 It's all NFL. It's definitely seasonal. And hockey was a tremendous year 399 00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.000 for hockey. Even the Stanley Cup, you know it was it was a 400 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.599 game seven. So it definitely is seasonal. So you've been in this business 401 00:27:55.119 --> 00:28:00.480 thirty eight years? Rights come to god, I'm the car father. How 402 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.000 have you been in for a while, because you're a young, relatively young 403 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.759 guy. Thank you? So I did. I opened the shop when I 404 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.359 was twenty five and I've had it for twenty six years. So here's the 405 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:17.799 math. But I started when I was seventeen doing shows. So let me 406 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.200 go here with you. At some point you had to have some highs and 407 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.200 some lows. Where are you now? But when was there lows and the 408 00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:30.319 highs and then now? So this type of business runs with the economy. 409 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.240 When the economy does well, people have money to spend on, you know, 410 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.880 on these type of like you know, hobbies. When we're struggling and 411 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.920 there's a recession, they don't give my crap. You know, you're trying 412 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.240 to get milk, and so you're not going to buy these. Two thousand 413 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.759 and eight, you know, when the housing market crash and stuff, we 414 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:53.279 were crashed and I was literally three months I was a quarter away from bankruptcy 415 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.640 and just going out of business. Right now, it's been a tremendous one 416 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.880 since. So we're absolutely out our high s. Uh. You can do 417 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:06.599 so many different things with online and different platforms and online breaks and and you 418 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:11.079 can sell and so many different platforms. So it's with technology. It's really 419 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.200 helped us a lot. Very cool. All right, So, as you 420 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.480 mentioned, we're headed towards football. Uh, the rookies that are coming in, 421 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.799 uh you know this year, you know, Caleb Williams and such. 422 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.000 Who are the who are the hot names? And uh again, how how 423 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.839 will their markets develop? Obviously all the quarterbacks. It was a tremendous year. 424 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:36.079 Unlike basketball, which was a horrible draft. For basketball this year one 425 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:37.920 of the worst ones. This was one of the best drafts. You know, 426 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.960 is Caleb Williams is huge. There's uh, there's so many, you 427 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:49.519 know, it's literally it's every single quarterback people as on including them including uh, 428 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.519 they can't even think of the one that went to the Falcons that they 429 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:57.880 were so pissed that they drafted them and there he had Michael Pennix. Michael 430 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:03.720 Pennix right to Washington. Yeah, exactly. He might be really good right 431 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.000 off the start. You know, if he gets in there, he gets 432 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:11.960 hurt and oh, Caleb Williams urge is. He's phenomenal. His talents. 433 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:17.720 I don't know if his attitude sometimes that reflects. But they like the good 434 00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:25.359 guys, Trevor Lawrence and you know the Soperrow those all American players obviously like 435 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.079 Tom Brady. So so a guy like Caleb Williams he was I mean his 436 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.759 he had cards at USC right, so he was probably pretty big already more 437 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.920 valuable now because he was the number one pick. You know what, you 438 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.359 know, you get you've got one of his cards? How long do you 439 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.880 hang on to that? He's really tough. I mean, if he does 440 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.039 well, I mean, you know, the Bears are not going to do 441 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.480 anything the first season or two, but it could be like c. J. 442 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.480 Stroud within a couple of years during the playoffs and they're you know, 443 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.359 this year's CJ. Shroud was the rookie. Last year they're ranked I think 444 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.680 Houston Texans are ranked like four or five. It's powerhouse, so they can 445 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:08.720 change it really quick. But just to give you a perspective, his cards, 446 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.559 his autograph cards, which he was the number one pagon are selling like 447 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:18.240 two to three hundred dollars. Briannie James was five hundred dollars. Park Is 448 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.279 even more. She's like seven hundred dollars for an autogress. She's just trying 449 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:27.599 that. She's so popular. So it's all popularity obviously, as well as 450 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.279 on field performance. So let me ask you about you guys, mister Bill 451 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.799 Walton and mister Jerry West. Mm hmmm. So what are their cards going 452 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.160 for or they all they all went up, Willie May's Walton, Jerry West, 453 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.839 they all went up, and it's it's uh, I don't know. 454 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.279 The one the one that was kind of unexpected was Bill Walton, you know, 455 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.640 right because he was still working. He was I mean, we just 456 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:57.319 seen him. He got our Upper Duck conference in in January. I took 457 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.400 pictures with him. We chat shotted about Arizona and Tucson, you know, 458 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.279 obviously, but he was kind of unexpected. Jerry west And and William Mays 459 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.440 were older, so they're more expected. They spiked, but not as much. 460 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:16.000 Bill Walton in terms of rate, like like percentages, he went up 461 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.400 the most. Okay, let me ask you on something like that, Like 462 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.319 William Mays, was that you know, he played at a time where you 463 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.759 know, I mean there were baseball cards and stuff, but it was you 464 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.519 know, there wasn't like a market like there's let's say you got an autograph 465 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:31.200 on a on a program or a baseball card. It's just something that you 466 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:36.319 got, you know, so you can't prove that he signed it other than 467 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.240 having somebody look at the signare and say, yes, that's him. Is 468 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:40.799 there any value to any of that or what you know? You know, 469 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.119 it's it's weird things things really changed in our in our market. You know, 470 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:51.920 sometimes what's hot is the opposite is really so back in the you know, 471 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.319 five ten years ago. In those are called in person autograph, right, 472 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.319 so it's something you got in person. We're notvaluable. People didn't actually 473 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.640 even want them. They didn't want a card signed. You know, you 474 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.960 can ruin on early you know, the fifties Willie May's card signed. Nowadays, 475 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.680 if you get it authenticated, you know, and they you know, 476 00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.640 they say hey, yes, PSA slabs it and puts it in a case. 477 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.880 That's actually the hottest, the hottest things there is right now. Like 478 00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:22.920 a Michael Jordan in person rookie card autograph a p S A ten will go 479 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:29.240 for a million dollars. So if you have Willie May's like an earlier program 480 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.079 or a card signed, and you get it authenticated, that's actually the hottest 481 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.720 thing on the market right now. How do you get something like that authenticated? 482 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:38.079 You have to send it to somebody or what Yeah, send it to 483 00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:43.000 a third part of party authentic? What do they do? Sports authenticator is 484 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.240 a big one. JSA James Spence authenticator is another big one. There's a 485 00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:51.480 few of them, Beckett Beckett collectibles. Those are the three big ones. 486 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:58.599 You want to send them? How do you? How do they authenticate it? 487 00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:04.319 It's it's actually a human being that's comparing their signature or flow they got 488 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:09.039 database. These are professionals almost like a forensic you know, like if you 489 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.599 want to prove someone's on the graph or so much signature is real. They 490 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:20.840 bring in these forensics writing experts. That's basically what they have it for the 491 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:24.119 sports memorabilia market. Well, okay, okay, well, George is always 492 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.119 good to talk to you.

We have to. 554 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:57.639 We had such a hard time in the last couple of days. Yeah, 555 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.760 last few days. But hey man, we've made it through. You know, 556 00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.280 we got fourteen minutes and change till we're free for the weekend. Steve, 557 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.199 we'll probably start getting some well I don't know how many Olympians we're gonna 558 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:14.000 have. They're probably gonna be slim pickings. Yeah, we have Delaney Snell. 559 00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:20.679 I don't know Jordan, guys, he's het. He finished one spot 560 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.840 out of a spot in the shot put by by less than a meter. 561 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.639 I think somebody said half a meter. He's in the hammer throw today is 562 00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.920 two or no. No, he's just doing the he's just shotput in hammer 563 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.599 throw. In fact, uh, he should be competing as we speak. 564 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.199 I think the hammer throw competition was about to start and then Tally Bonds the 565 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:43.320 four hundred meter hurdler. She's competing tonight as well, So if you're I 566 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:47.360 think, I think the the trials are on various channels tonight, but those 567 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:52.280 two are are are still trying to get in. But the shot put, 568 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:57.159 I think my understanding shotput was Jordan Guy's best chance, that he's sort of 569 00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.639 an underdog when it comes in. Have you seen much of the afield? 570 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.159 It's fun. I didn't know this, but I was watching yesterday. Uh. 571 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.480 The discus thrower, Uh, the world champion, the gold medal one 572 00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:14.159 and she's from Stanford. She got to be about twenty eight ish. She 573 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:17.079 looks like a Barbie doll and she and she's not big, she's she she 574 00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.519 throws out like crazy. Yeah, I'm thinking back in our day if I 575 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.719 remember, they're big, big, strong. Yeah, it's just a wispy 576 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.920 yeah. And it's all technique and it's I guess she's from Stanford Grad. 577 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.199 Uh. Just unbelievable. I'm thinking, really, this is how the game 578 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.880 has changed. Yeah, I did say there was like a what a fifteen 579 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.800 year old kid? Sixteen year old kid, who's who's been running in the 580 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:44.960 I think the four hundred what? What? What's who's like a guy, 581 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.239 yeah, guy, Yeah, a guy who's like, uh, you know, 582 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.000 he's he's in the I mean he's there's a chance he could be on 583 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.599 the Olympic team. Well in one in one of the events. I saw 584 00:40:54.599 --> 00:41:00.559 the fifteen hundred yesterday. I couldn't run fifteen hundred meters for three weeks if 585 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:04.679 they made me. These girls are just unbelievable. And the two hundred, 586 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:09.559 you know with h Shirkerry Richardson fantastic, So it's gonna be funna. His 587 00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:17.280 name is Quincy Wilson and he's in he's sixteen, and he runs the four 588 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:22.480 hundred meters. Okay, I guess I don't know if he I guess that 589 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:28.679 that that was like, uh, last Monday. Maybe that's what we do. 590 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:34.679 We get ahold of one of our guys. I could see him the 591 00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.480 track coach, Frett Harvey. Frett Harvey, Yes, uh, to come 592 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.559 and talk about Maybe he's probably he was probably up there, probably up there 593 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.760 with with guess right now, he's always with his his athletes. So maybe 594 00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:46.800 next week when he comes back, we can get with him to give us 595 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.960 a quick preview. Yeah, so I'm looking at speaking of fifteen and six 596 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:57.000 year old. There was a fifteen year old in the golf tournament in the 597 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:01.320 PGA turn Oh. I saw that he missed the cut, but he was 598 00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:06.679 close. He shot then he shot even par for the two days, fifteen 599 00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.199 years old. And they showed him and I'm like, he's a child. 600 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.400 Well he is young. I'm like, like, he's like, I mean, 601 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.559 he looks like a little kid. Well, fifteen is I think a 602 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:20.360 little kid. I know he's probably not getting into trouble like you think he 603 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.840 should be getting into trouble. Maybe if I hadn't been doing that, I 604 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.440 would have had a shot shut. I would have had a shot shot at 605 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:42.079 the door liquor. Sure par three? No, can we do well? 606 00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:45.199 I don't know what to tell you. I told you too much already, 607 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:51.440 So yes you did? Did I did? I'm trying to look up and 608 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.920 see where where this uh, where this kid ended up? Uh? But 609 00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:58.679 I guess it sounds like the four hundred that was last week. So but 610 00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.280 you know, it's it's it's crazy, like like I think about this fifteen 611 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.719 year old kid and how good he is now. He did not look out 612 00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:09.760 of place, right, he did not look out of place. He looked 613 00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:13.360 like except for the fact that he looked like he was about twelve years old. 614 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.960 He looked you know, his shot he hits about three hundred plus yards, 615 00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:20.400 right, he wasn't a big kid too, right now, he's not 616 00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:22.440 a big kid, you know. And and and it's like, man, 617 00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:28.159 you know, out of these God, it's crazy how these guys can just 618 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.000 show up and do this. But he's you know, it's what they do. 619 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:35.559 Yeah, he's fun to watch. That's what they do. Yeah, 620 00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:37.559 keep you up, okay, all right, so yeah, no, so 621 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.280 well yeah, well we'll see how we'll try and fall. Well, well, 622 00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:43.719 we'll probably talk about it on Monday, because they think, like I 623 00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:52.159 said, I think Hallie Tally Bonds is is at five thirty today in the 624 00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.760 in the four hundred. I think that's the start of the uh you know, 625 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.880 preliminaries and all that kind of stuff. So we'll see see anyway, 626 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:05.559 Okay, again, anybody want to call, please do five two four forty. 627 00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:08.360 I'm not sure if I want to get into the lebron stuff anymore, 628 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.760 the browny stuff. But they mentioned a lot of things on the air that 629 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.360 you know, this is all you know, whatever it is, uh, 630 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:20.400 nepotism, whatever, but it happens throughout everything. Hey. Look, coaches 631 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:24.679 bring their players or their kids to administrate, you know, coaches, uh, 632 00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:29.199 the bicker staffs, the dun Lev's and all that stuff, and they 633 00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:32.239 get jobs through there. Well. Look, and a lot of times getting 634 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:37.920 the job is on top of having skills. A lot of times it's who 635 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.800 you know, Oh, without question, without w that's I got I got 636 00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:44.599 jobs like that, you know, because exactly, you know, I knew 637 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:47.519 somebody and they you know, and they, you know, threw my name 638 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:52.360 out there and I got and I got jobs. But in the end, 639 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.400 you have to do the job, be able to do the job right, 640 00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:58.760 do the job, no, no, no question. Usually when the job's 641 00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:00.639 open, they already have person, theyread, have the person who's gonna take 642 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:04.599 the job, and then they do the interviews knowing that they're going to hire 643 00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.199 that gun. Right. That's just the way the world is. Yeah, 644 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.360 yeah, I want to take these notes. When you're looking for a job, 645 00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:15.239 smooth the right people. You have to you really have to. Okay, 646 00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.400 here I think I found it. Were looking for see where the sixteen 647 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.480 year old kid did well did in the in the in the four hundred meters, 648 00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.000 Oh, Okay, the runner, I want to see if you made 649 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.000 I want to see if you made it. No, I know the kid. 650 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:30.599 I know the kid, and the golf did not make the cut. 651 00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.320 He missed the cut, but not by a lot. I think by just 652 00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:37.320 a few strokes. Yeah, it's you know, it's tough. I don't 653 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.960 watch a lot of baseball unless I had something in it. And I just 654 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.760 followed the Baltimo Orioles now because of because of a friend. And it's because 655 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:51.960 there's no more sports really unless you're not in a baseball even locally. It's 656 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:57.039 hard to say. The the in the indoor football is not not very good. 657 00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:59.800 Yeah, sorry to poo poo that, but it's true. They're not 658 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.119 so. And then the hockey's done, basketball is done, football's coming up. 659 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.480 We're right in that kind of slow zone.

All right here we Okay, now I 681 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.639 think I found it. Seriously, I know this is a great, great 682 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:40.199 radio right now, Okay, the man four hundred the qualifiers were, is 683 00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:46.440 that his name? You killed me here? I know I'm trying to No. 684 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.840 I was in because I knew his name was Quincy Quincy Wilson. He 685 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.159 finished sixth, so he didn't make it. The top three were Quincy Hall, 686 00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:58.760 Michael Norman, Chris Bailey or the qualifiers in the four hundred meters, 687 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:01.800 So I mean he just I mean he's six so he was sixteen years old. 688 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:06.800 I'm guessing he'll be an Olympian in the next Olympics when he's twenty. 689 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.800 But again, what was I doing when I was sixteen? I was crazy 690 00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:15.000 Speedway, you know, hanging out at the Jack in the Box over there 691 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:19.719 that they've since shut down and now it's a I think it's a like a 692 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:25.039 Korean barbecue or something like that on Speedway between Swan and Oh Yeah and alvarnon 693 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:29.079 Jack Box. They are very few of them were, right, are They're 694 00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:30.239 all going? A lot of them are gone. You know the Jack in 695 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:35.639 the Box that I really hung out at a Comino cycle on Broadway. That's 696 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:39.599 that's been a burrito place for many years. That's when that that's where you 697 00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.639 know you said you'd go out for you got the pizza joint after your games? 698 00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:46.199 While this jack in the box, I mean a second speed. It's 699 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.199 do they have a godfather? Share? Did they? No? We had 700 00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.400 Shaky's Shaky okay, because that's where we had. We had Shakey's in village 701 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.280 and those are the places that we had by our high school. Wan's got 702 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:06.039 a big smile on his face thinking about Shaky's Village. Yeah, nostalgia. 703 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.559 There's a four minute call.

Oh yeah, there's like there's something behind him. 711 00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:51.119 I'd love to see that in the Olympics, Like what did you say, 712 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:57.559 Bolt do with somebody behind you know, like like who's the fastest man 713 00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:01.800 on Earth? Really, I'd love to see yeah, I think it sounds 714 00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:06.440 like a cool idea. Just how fast they are, right compared to other 715 00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.480 people, Like they did that like in the NFL combine. Well they saying 716 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:14.280 both a few years ago and it wasn't even close. The guys were chilling 717 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.800 in by by a lot. Yeah. Yeah, but it would just be 718 00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:21.000 fun to see, you know, like with our Olympians, who would be 719 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:25.599 the fastest, Like who's the highest jumper in the world, Like like you 720 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.000 could do that, you like you can do ai where people are jumping over 721 00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:35.320 a bar, where you're doing a forty, where you're doing the four forty. 722 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:37.079 Let's just say, I don't know, you know, it would be 723 00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:42.000 cool to see the world record. Even in swimming, that would be neat 724 00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.039 to see, like you know how they how they have that line going across 725 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:50.000 the hole, like this is the world record? Why not just have the 726 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:55.480 person that did it swimming like virtually? Yeah, you must be an Olympian 727 00:50:55.559 --> 00:51:00.599 guy, a watcher that. Yeah.

I did we cover. 745 00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.559 I covered I covered too. I covered the Australia and then there's Greece. 746 00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:12.440 A lot of fun. It's you it's gotta be nuts, it is. 747 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:15.239 It's like, uh, midway through it's three four weeks of being out there 748 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:19.679 and being away blah blah blah, and midway through you're thinking, I'll never 749 00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.800 do this again. I never do It's Climber's remorse, right, You're going 750 00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.400 halfway up and you're thinking, what am I doing here? What am I 751 00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:27.920 doing here? I'm never going to do this again, And then you're finishing. 752 00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.719 It's just got to hope they invite me back. Yeah, after it's 753 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:34.480 completed and you have to settle down, and because you're always it's eighteen hour 754 00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.960 days going to the venues and stuff like that. But you know, once 755 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:39.960 you do what you're thinking, you're like an NBA guy who's been drafted. 756 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.079 I can say I did it. Yeah, No, I never got a 757 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:45.519 chance to do that. I think it would be fun, and it would 758 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:47.559 be hard to be fun. It's it's it's cool. I mean, when 759 00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:50.880 you're out of the country and stuff like that, there's all those issues to 760 00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:52.519 deal with. Well, the issue was not at home in two thousand and 761 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:58.559 two thousand and four. It was the security was unbelievable. People with rifles 762 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.079 and at the media centers and things like that, kind of spooky kind of 763 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:05.239 speak.
