10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.079
I mean they say he dominated the
college wrestling world. So we never played

11
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.240
football, have you? Do you
know some wrestlers I'm sure you do.

12
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.759
No, not really to me.
The toughest dudes around. They know angles,

13
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.520
know how to get to places where
you know what, well, we

14
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.000
just blocked no, the angles and
strain and things like that. Yeah,

15
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.200
no, I understand that part.
And everyone had some some of those pretty

16
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.000
good dudes that we could just athletic
building and angles and they were good.

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.159
I'll bet you he does. Well, I hope so, I mean it'd

18
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.439
be a cool story to see,
right, right, just recently, the

19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.959
Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight got to
have to be postponed due to the ulcer

20
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.359
incident with So it's been postponed.
Did you did you? Okay? Postponed

21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.840
because last week, right, he
had an emergency. Okay, I hadn't

22
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.439
seen that because I know it was
in question. I don't know if you

23
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.280
guys remember this, but about two
years ago they had the University of Virginia

24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.159
school shooting. Yes, that's the
Virginia is going to be paying nine million

25
00:01:48.239 --> 00:02:00.680
related to the slame football players.
Yeah, right, we got some hockey

26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.639
tonight. We got the stars and
the believe it's thet or is that was

27
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.319
that? Are they tied up to? Right? So this is yeah,

28
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.719
like we mentioned been mentioning, Arizona
GCU going at it tonight, sold out

29
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.319
high Corbett. So you're going to
go watch? Are you gonna be working?

30
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.439
What are you doing? Drive by
there? I think I can't.

31
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.199
My pass is not good because they're
not honoring the Arizona passes and double a

32
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.599
Yes, it is absolutely okay.
How does that? How does that work

33
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.800
for tickets tickets sales. Who gets
that money? It still goes through.

34
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.360
It's a it's I'm gonna guess.
I'm gonna guess it still goes through.

35
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.479
You have a ticket office, So
I believe there are some fees and some

36
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:50.120
buyouts that have to happen, and
and then then today gets their cut.

37
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.080
Yeah, I'm sure there is.
I don't know what the contract is and

38
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.280
okay, hate to speculate, Okay, I know they're trying to sell as

39
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.240
many tickets as possible and they have, right, Okay, bear down,

40
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.879
let's go and h Last night,
the Dallas Mavericks moved on U into the

41
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.280
NBA Finals. They're going to be
playing the Boston Celtics. Who would ever

42
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.240
thought that they get this far do
well after last year's debacca. You know

43
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:22.000
when they first paired up Kyrie and
uh right, it's the experiment worked this

44
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.039
year, right, they're running meshed
really good right now and they're together.

45
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.199
What people are saying, they're the
best backcourt in forever, like scoring,

46
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.120
scoring, Stephen Thompson were pretty damn
good, and there are some other ones

47
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.560
that have been putting good. I
think they're talking about now, oh today,

48
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.360
five years ago like today. I've
heard a lot of people say ever

49
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.840
bringing that up. Yeah, I
don't know about Stephan Klay Thompson. Were

50
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.960
pretty dangerous, pretty dangerous and pretty
good. Yea splash brothers. Yeah,

51
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.039
and then in some a little bit
of sad Mbia news. Uh, the

52
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.560
brother of Aaron Gordon, Drew Gordon, former Philadelphia seventy six er, died

53
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.599
in a car crash today. Car
accident. Yeah, I think it was

54
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.719
yesterday, yesterday in California, Northern
California. Who is frum? Uh?

55
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.960
And uh? The reason I saw
that one of my one of our former

56
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.599
guests, well, my coworker in
Albuquerque wrote the story because he played at

57
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.240
New Mexico. He was at u
C l A and then he went to

58
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.720
New Mexico and then played in the
NBA for a little bit. The Drew

59
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:25.680
family very very talented group. Yeah. Yeah, so our thoughts go out

60
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.160
to them. Yeah, okay,
what anything else? That was quick?

61
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.160
That was quick. We got a
lot of time. Nobody's given mavericks any

62
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.319
I don't I'm not, I know
really yeah, not even a shooters chance.

63
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.800
No really no, I don't know
why, but I'm not like,

64
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.720
are you talking about sweep? Or
no, five or six, five or

65
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.160
six. No, they're good enough
to win a couple of games in Dallas

66
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.560
maybe, but Boston's i'm a good. So they're good. They're they're good.

67
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.959
They should have won this right right, and you bring him back?

68
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.759
Why do you bring him back?
He's supposed to be back. Yeah,

69
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.560
there, he's kind of if he
if he in the first game, right

70
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.560
in the second game. So anybody
want to call Plice to do? Uh,

71
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.160
well, you get some time to
take some calls. Five two four,

72
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.600
one s forty good to hear from
you. Yeah, I don't.

73
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.720
I'm back to that bazingis thing.
Why you know, I would you bring

74
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.519
back somebody if your team is is
clicking the chemistry that that's the good question

75
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.680
is that question is do you bring
that guy back in It's kind of like

76
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.560
your starting quarterback we know Arizona.
Yeah, yeah, benched a guy because

77
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.720
he was hurt and then he came
back and like, yeah, you know

78
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.720
what, Yeah, no, I
don't disagree with that because you know,

79
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.439
if it's not broke, don't fix
it, right because it doesn't need to

80
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.920
be fixed. They just swept the
team. But but then you have the

81
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.360
well, he's talented and he's good. Bring him back and see what happens.

82
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.079
Right, he's got five six fous. Let me ask you. Let

83
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.319
me ask you. Being a former
athlete, and I kind of hinted this

84
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.279
with JB about getting paid and I
l and all that stuff. You're a

85
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.959
businessman, Yes, how do you
think the schools are going to survive?

86
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.439
Have all this craziness now in the
near future? Twenty million? You gotta

87
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.600
get pay the kids in addition to
whatever else you're getting. Sure they have

88
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.839
to get out in front of it. I mean, that's I think Arizona's

89
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.480
done a great job of leading NCAA
in policies, procedures and helping the kids

90
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.399
understand you're gonna make money, You're
gonna have to pay taxes. Yeah,

91
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.160
there's a lot of stuff coming with
Is that what you're talking No, No,

92
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.000
I'm talking about in house. You
know, there are already millions in

93
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.720
debts, millions and millions million of
debt. Now they have to find twenty

94
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.040
million, but I guess I have
it. I mean to pay the kids,

95
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.360
they kind of find it. I
mean, it's already been done.

96
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.279
That's kind of the easy thing.
I think you m Berto Lopez and those

97
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.199
guys have helped retain guys from football
get back outside money. I could be

98
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.759
yeah, No, I don't think
nil money HiT's your budget doesn't hit You're

99
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.879
right right right now you're saying it
will. Now you have twenty million through

100
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.199
all the things that you the revenues
and all that. I think the the

101
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.480
umberto stuff is on the side.
That is on the side side. Now

102
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.639
twenty million plus the side money.
Oh wow, Yeah, how do you

103
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.079
do it? I'm sure, I'm
sure, I'm sure. And you don't

104
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.120
even have to say yes or no
that you've gotten hit up a few times

105
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.680
to help with nil. Sure,
absolutely, And whether you do or not,

106
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.720
that's on you. But uh,
two sons of smallish town. Sure.

107
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.120
Yeah. But you also want to
see a product that you're gonna put

108
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.279
money into that You're not ferviously spending
money either, So I'm kind of a

109
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.720
cautious guy when it comes to that. I want to see how it's going

110
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.279
to go first. I want to
see, you know what. I don't

111
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.959
have a lot of money to just
give away, so I'm spending it on

112
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.959
an eye on the ball. Yeah, money goes right to you in my

113
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.439
head, and come in there and
talk to you orter, but now I

114
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.600
want I'm a cautious guy and I
want to see the process and how it

115
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.879
goes for a few wants for me
a few years. But having to bring

116
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.240
it now into your budget as a
as a big corporation, that's a it's

117
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.800
a big deal. And it's not
like you're raising revenue anywhere. I mean,

118
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.600
all you can do is raise and
take yours well, and that's it.

119
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.399
That's it, because it's got to
come from somewhere. And luckily for

120
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.199
Arizona it has its basketball program sure, which keeps a lot of people afloat.

121
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.120
So a view of a has space. So now you're talking about do

122
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.360
I need to rent out my space
more? Can I Can I go outside

123
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.160
of sports and rent it locally to
the community. So there's a revenue streams

124
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.240
that that we don't that they don't
touch at the moment. Where As I

125
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.519
was at UNLV, when I worked
at Thomas and Max Center, athletics was

126
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.840
a side piece. We did boxing
matches from Hilton and MGM came in and

127
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.840
made it theirs and we did Disney
on ice, we did circus, we

128
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.360
did concerts, we did so that
was all side revenue. A big revenue,

129
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.200
and we kicked athletic money at the
side. So I think that's a

130
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.960
possibility, is that you can rent
some space on your building. Didn't even

131
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.000
think of that. But but if
you're in a situation like this, so

132
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.200
why not host who would not want
to play a soccer match at the u

133
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.919
of a field? Who would not
put your AAU team or what? And

134
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.679
that's where the compliance issue is with
who can I bring on the campus with

135
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.519
recruiting? But it doesn't matter anymore
and il you can pay dude, So

136
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.279
what's the big deal exactly? Why
not? I mean, that's that's you

137
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.559
have to have to honestly look at
it. I think, and I'd got

138
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.559
to get out of this semester,
but somehow, yeah, And that's there's

139
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.360
revenue streams you got to think about, and those that's a possibility. Renting

140
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.039
space you got plenty of it,
right, Razing, parking, raising tickets.

141
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.399
You can only raise those things so
much before people stop coming. So

142
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.960
you're around a lot, tell tell
us your capacity being around a lot A

143
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.240
lot? So my own your co
owners are the owner of the A team,

144
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.279
right. So I've been now in
the special event business for twenty five

145
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.039
years thirty years, and I've seen
it grow, and I've seen it gotten

146
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.519
crazy. Tickets Tickets to concert used
to be seventeen to fifty twenty bucks.

147
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.799
That's not even close. Now I
paid a beer. I paid one hundred

148
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.120
and fifty bucks just to walk in
the door the other day. It's well,

149
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.559
it's a beer, seventeen eighteen bucks. So Final four, Final four.

150
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.600
I think I told you. Final
four beers were twenty three bucks apiece

151
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.000
after tip. I bought two after
a tip. It was fifty three dollars.

152
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.600
My good lord, I just spent
fifty three dollars. So I had

153
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.360
about six margage my house and I
got six pack. But you had a

154
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.159
good time, had a great time, did you. Obviously you went to

155
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.360
one in Phoenix because you go every
year, and well, I'm gonna we're

156
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.039
gonna go all over the board here. I didn't enjoy my experience at the

157
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.240
Final four. I've been to nineteen
this year, and I don't like Phoenix

158
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.360
because it's spread out, it's downtown. They have the fun. I had

159
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.039
the games. It has the games, and the games were not that good.

160
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.840
No, that's where my fun was
not good. No, I agree

161
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.879
with the games. Were there and
it is spread out and I'm gone.

162
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.919
I've gone as many times as you
have, And now the games is kind

163
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.519
of what I focus on, the
fun part. Stuff we meet. There's

164
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.480
twenty thirty of us that go,
and we all meet Friday night for a

165
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.360
drink and then we go to the
games. And then Sunday night we have

166
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.720
big dinner. Everybody sings and gets
crazy. But the games are now with

167
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.080
my focus. I don't go to
the con I don't go to the concerts.

168
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.399
I don't go to the fan fest
anymore. It's you know, that's

169
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.759
you're above that. Now. I
want to see the games right, and

170
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.799
if the games aren't good and kind
and they weren't good, no, no,

171
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.399
so you kind of root and I'm
I love watching the people. I

172
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.120
love when their team loses and they
all just melt right, just just like,

173
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.799
oh, my team is out of
it. What am I gonna do?

174
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:46.960
Right? We get the play and
we're gonna go. We're gonna go

175
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.320
watch all the bridges tonight because you
know, Canada Kentucky loss. I mean

176
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.320
I remember going. I don't know
if I want to be that fan.

177
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.440
If Arizona's in it in Final four
comes, I'm gonna be one of those

178
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.039
guys it's looking for to jump off. There are some crazy fans in this

179
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.559
there are lots of them, and
they show up. So Saturday you're up.

180
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.159
You see it's Saturday. There there's
a half and then their team wins,

181
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.240
and everybody from that stage just shows
up, like is there anybody left

182
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.759
in Connecticut? Anybody in Indiana?
And you know, yeah, but turn

183
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.240
the lights off when you leave,
right, No, because there was a

184
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.080
ton of people from you. There
was so many people. It waswhere where

185
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.159
I went, it was black and
gold everywhere. And when they lost,

186
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.519
you're just like, oh, better
go guard the bread. What do you

187
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.759
make of Oh, the big guy? I wasn't impressed. He's a huge

188
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.440
dude, Don't get me wrong.
I don't think his jump shots there outside

189
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.399
of like we said, you need
to hit that eleven or twelve foot jumper

190
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.159
consistently nine out of ten times,
and I never saw him get that.

191
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.360
It was two foot dunk, half
foot dunk. That was it. Those

192
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.200
were okay, But the the Connecticut
guy, the big guy was very good.

193
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.480
Yeah, he held his own and
he could be in the top five

194
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.279
clingand something like that. Yeah,
playing the Star Trek I loved what I

195
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.320
mean, I'm not a big Hurley

196
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.600
over. Yeah, he did.
That. Whole team won me over with

197
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.480
this their grit and watching him.
He's good coach. Yeah, he's a

198
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.639
he's a pain. If you watched
him, watch him directly, he's uh,

199

player, one of our great sponsors. Jake, how you doing wonderful?

299
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.279
How's your guys Friday going? We're
doing well, thank you. We had

300
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.359
Joseph Blair earlier in the first hour, so you have a lot to live

301
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:29.799
up to. That's just rude.
But I know you're gonna come through.

302
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.640
You know why. A lot of
has happened in the basketball world, and

303
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.640
I don't I don't know if I've
seen you on Twitter at all waxing poetic,

304
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.319
But what did you think of Love
coming back and then the dominoes that

305
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.960
fell alongside with it? Yeah,
I mean it was a lot. I

306
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.119
had been following a lot of folks
that have the inside track and a lot

307
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.240
of that stuff going on, and
some of the message boards on some of

308
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:53.920
the websites, and they have been
doing us about this for a couple of

309
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.559
weeks in terms of josn saying on
basically leaving if Caleb Love does, and

310
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.160
that Joe Son sting On had apparently
had been shopped around quite a bit,

311
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.119
and you know, basically a couple
guys said he's probably not gonna end up

312
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.599
here because we believe Caleb Buff's coming
back. The one that surprised me was

313
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.200
Jamari Phillips. I thought he was
going to be here regardless, but I

314
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.079
guess he didn't. You know,
he didn't want to sit and not get

315
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.279
any minutes, but you know,
you uh, he kind of got to

316
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.279
go ahead and take the guy that
became an All American last year over a

317
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.440
freshman that's unproven. Yeah, sure, hear this. Hear this from me

318
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.480
for both you guys, you and
Andy and he used to play here back

319
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:40.359
in the early nineties. Okay,
So you know what what Caleb Glove is

320
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.799
capable of? What does he need
to do to get better individually but also

321
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.079
be part of the team. So
the question is what is he got to

322
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.400
get better at to be a professional? Because no, that's the question is

323
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.440
if I'm just going to work on
the things that the combine told me to

324
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.799
work on, does that necessarily help
me team? Good question? Am I

325
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.039
working on something that's going to help
the team and get me to the NBA?

326
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:04.480
Or is it just something that the
combine told me to work on to

327
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.319
get me to be a pro?
Okay, so what kind of mindset is

328
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.359
he bringing back to the team.
Is it still a team concept? Is

329
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.400
it still Hey, I want to
be part of this or am I just

330
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.599
working on the thing that's going to
get me to the NBA? Jake,

331
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.319
Well, I think I think him
taking over more of a backup point guard

332
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.039
role. You know, he apparently
he didn't grade out in terms of the

333
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.920
height that they want him to be
as a combo guard or a shooting guard

334
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.079
at the NBA. I mean,
he came out in like, what six

335
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.640
two and a half when he's listed
at six four. So I think he

336
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.039
needs to work on dribbling and I
think he needs to get to the basket

337
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.000
more. I mean, he averaged
over eighteen points a game last year and

338
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.599
I felt like he lived at the
three point line a lot. So if

339
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:45.839
he's able to get to the basket
a little bit more, you know,

340
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.240
maybe take a few more free throws
of the game, I think it will

341
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:55.160
increase his boring output and I think
that'll probably make his transition, as you

342
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:56.680
know, to the pros a little
bit easier. So for both of you

343
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.119
guys, it's a win that he's
coming back and h and not. You

344
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.839
know, your mortgage. Your mortgage
is the president of the future for the

345
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.160
today. Sure, absolutely, well
ya apparently was going to be a one

346
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.079
and done regardless of how he did. So absolutely if you get one year

347
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.519
of a college All American versus one
year of someone you don't know how they're

348
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.000
going to be, uh, you
know, in college, I take the

349
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:21.400
all American every single day. Okay, makes sense, Absolutely makes sense.

350
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.759
Okay, so now you have pretty
much your team back, at least you

351
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:29.640
have it set with Bradley back,
and uh with kJ. I like this

352
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.519
team a lot. If we get
the Bradley that we got against Clemson,

353
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.759
I mean that's gonna be awesome.
And then obviously, you know kJ is

354
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.240
gonna play with the high motor.
He's gonna be awesome on defense. I

355
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.400
think if he's you know, if
he has a few more minutes to play,

356
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:47.440
obviously wish you will. He's not, you know, right in the

357
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.480
benure most of the game, I
think he's scoring up. It's gonna go

358
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.480
up. I just think he does
a little bit of everything. You already

359
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.359
know you're going to get scoring from
Caleb Love. So I like those three

360
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.000
in the I like those three to
start the game. That's gonna be awesome.

361
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.759
What's you know, what I want
to see is how the bigs are

362
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.240
going to do. I want to
see how more previous turns out. And

363
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.160
I think twentend obviously he shows that
he shows up in big games for a

364
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:14.400
smaller school, so that starting five
could be potent. Yeah, you know,

365
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.160
the one guy that's not being mentioned
that I really liked when I saw

366
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.880
him last year. The previous year
was Henry before he got hurt, you

367
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.039
know, off the field, off
the court, because he's so versatile,

368
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.799
and will he play at four?
Will he play a five? Does do

369
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.680
they need him in the role?
You know who knows because we didn't see

370
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.559
him at all last year. Yeah, well, it looks like, you

371
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.440
know, he's still tall and then
and it looks like he started to lose

372
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.880
his confidence a little bit. To
be honest with you, I mean,

373
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:42.960
you know, the reason why he
didn't play a lot down the stretch is

374
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.920
because they couldn't rely, you know, on him to be on the court.

375
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.000
So if he you know, gets
a little stronger mentally, a little

376
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.480
bigger physically, and he's okay with
with the you know, bruising down low,

377
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.640
then absolutely, But you never know
if he likes to keep it tight

378
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.119
you know, eight man rotation,
and if he's playing, that means that

379
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.039
he's put it in the work.
Yeah, agree, And so he goes

380
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.000
eight. You know, he has
depth. I can't and back in the

381
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:12.640
day Lout had probably eight and he
was not gonna go deep. I think

382
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:17.039
that's a fallacy we had seven eight, we had seven and a half.

383
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.920
We had we had Kevin off the
bench, and we had Corey and Joe

384
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.799
McClain. Right, those are the
three off the But but in the college

385
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.920
level, for depth, you could
have it, but coaches don't use it.

386
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.640
No, you need the depth.
You need a good depth team to

387
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.559
have practice, right, So you
need that part of it. So if

388
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.599
you have eight, you have good
eight guys on the bench that can push

389
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.559
your starters. That's the key,
I think. Yeah, and guys that

390
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:42.720
know their role. So if I
knew my role is like, you know

391
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:47.000
what, I'm gonna walk on.
I'm not going to be starter. I'm

392
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.279
not going to be that guy.
I shouldn't act like I should be on

393
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.599
them. I'm gonna do my job
and help the team win the best way

394
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.640
I can, right, And sometimes
that's just showing up and putting in the

395
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.000
work in football. In football,
Jake, did you have those guys?

396
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.240
Guy? I know you you are
not a role player, you actually played,

397
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.680
but did you have those key role
players that you their their their their

398
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.880
spot. Uh? Every year,
with the exception of my junior year,

399
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.799
we did. We had depth.
We had and it's really important when it

400
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.440
comes to the recruiting, making sure
that you get someone that's competent, that

401
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.240
that you know is either physically developed
or can't physically developed at a high level,

402
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.519
because you know, when these guys
become sophomores, you want them pushing

403
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:32.519
for the starting position. But what
worries me now, especially in basketball,

404
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.319
is a lot of these guys,
if they don't start their freshman year or

405
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.039
play a lot, they're transferring.
So I like what Tommy's doing. He's

406
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.720
bringing in guys that actually fall into
the system and believe in it. You

407
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.079
know, every now and then you're
gonna lose a guy like Boswell. But

408
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.599
I mean you have Jayden coming back, you have kJ coming back, Caleb

409
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.599
Bluff coming back, Moe coming back. You have a lot of guys coming

410
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.720
back that believe in the system and
that aren't you know, taking off for

411
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.559
a bigger, better thing. Yeah
right right, No, that's key.

412
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.920
And then everybody's going to have their
role, even I think Caleb's going to

413
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.240
have to adjust his role a little
bit more to become more of a team

414
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.400
player and like you say, maybe
be more of a point guard, get

415
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:14.440
to the basket more and have some
more assists. It surprised me how good

416
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:15.880
of a pass or he was last
year. I didn't think he was that

417
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.640
good of a pass, right.
There are some games where you know whether

418
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.599
it's a lob or whether someone goes
the back door, and you know he

419
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.079
put the right on the money.
I was actually really surprised at that,

420
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.200
Andy, Sure, I was.
Another concern I have is both he and

421
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.839
Bradley like to have the ball in
their hands, right. Bradley goes downhill

422
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.400
really well, and he too,
kind of has a little love in him

423
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.720
where it's like, I get the
ball, I'm going to score because that's

424
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.119
what they've done all their lives.
Now you have two dudes with that mentality.

425
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:51.440
Well right now, Oh sorry Andy
ego. First, I was gonna

426
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.400
say the one thing that really annoyed
me about bos Well is he didn't really

427
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.240
take you off the dribble. And
if he didn't get you know, a

428
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.839
step back, why it's open three
point. It's almost like he was not

429
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.440
existing on offense in my opinion.
So I like guys that can move and

430
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.960
blow past their defenders. If you
have guys that can spot up, you

431
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.440
know they're in the right place at
the right time. You know they'll be

432
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.680
open for a shot and if he
goes up, he goes up strong and

433
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.039
he gets to the free throw line. That was the key. The key

434
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:19.759
to the point is that you want
to move the defense. The defense kind

435
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.920
of flatten out and come back flattening
down by You got to move the defense.

436
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.359
If you're just standing at the top
looking for your three pointer, it's

437
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.359
not going to happen. But Bradly
got to the hole and he got to

438
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.160
the foul on. Yeah, right, that was key. I mean he

439
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.240
I never saw boss will do that. So no Cleston game when he was

440
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.279
getting to the hole. I mean
how many times did he throw it out

441
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:41.880
to a wide open three? We
just weren't making them. Yes, that's

442
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.400
true, absolutely right. No,
Now you have two guys that can do

443
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.200
that. You got both of those
guys on the court, and your defense

444
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.359
is gotta be on heads on the
swivel now, so you got to woot.

445
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:53.960
Where where is everybody at? And
if you can get to that hole

446
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.279
and get fouls. You know,
as a shooter, if I'm not shooting,

447
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.200
well, I got to get to
the line because that's where IM going

448
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.799
to get back. I need to
get back to the free throw line and

449
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.119
get my touch back, get my
confidence back to see it go through.

450
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:07.920
Right, You hear that all the
time, just need to see one go

451
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:14.119
through. And sometimes that was love
like and Caleb, I mean Boswell for

452
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.000
sure, if his first one didn't
go through, you might as well sit

453
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.640
him on the bench. Right.
The one thing I really liked was and

454
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.160
you saw it a couple of times, not just in Clemson where where kJ

455
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:27.240
and Bradley played really well together and
gave the team some spark and some energy.

456
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.720
On the defensive end. Yeah,
they created a lot offense with their

457
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.319
defense because they're long, their their
hands were in the lanes. They were

458
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:38.599
getting deflections and just making it difficult
for the team. I think Boswell is

459
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:45.119
sorry. Yeah, those two seem
to always just have their hands in the

460
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.960
right spot. I mean, just
they're always hitting the ball. Even if

461
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.400
you get by them, you know
they're coming and poking the ball out and

462
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.000
you have a chance to get a
fast break. Yeah, right, and

463
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.680
then to watch right right, because
it's kind of like when you're young and

464
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.119
energetic, you kind of just played
for the front of it and then really

465
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.440
don't you kind of eliminate the noise
if you will, and just play And

466
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.440
they played really well together. Yeah
right, And those are the types of

467
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.119
guards they're gonna need for the Big
twelve, right, yes, right,

468
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.039
and definitely gonna need depth for the
peck. For the Big twelve, you're

469
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:21.599
gonna need some files to give yeah, resolutely right now, real quick to

470
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:27.400
Jake Arizona got that big defensive lineman
from from from southern cal what'd you think?

471
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.480
I just think it's another piece you
can throw in there to eat up

472
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.240
a body or two and to spell
a couple of those guys when they get

473
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.559
tired. The one thing I really
liked about our defensive line last year,

474
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.039
no one got over what was it
like, twenty five thirty snaps a game.

475
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:45.559
So you get to the fourth quarter, you know those guys on the

476
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.640
offensive line are on their seventy seventy
fifth play. You got these guys that

477
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.279
are on their twenty fifth or you
know, they got a high motor.

478
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.039
They still got a lot of juice
to get off the edge or to blow

479
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.920
a guy off the line. And
you know, when you're eating up blocks

480
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.519
like that, especially in a Dwayne
Quina system, you're gonna have a lot

481
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.799
of guys blsting and you don't know
where they're coming from So you eat up

482
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.559
a body or two, you give
those guys a little crease they're going to

483
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:14.920
make a play. Yeah, yeah, more optimistic or anything changed with your

484
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.079
outlook for the football team. Probably
not. No, really, to be

485
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.720
honest with you, I think that
we did a good job of bringing in

486
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.519
depth. That's what I was worried
about, because you've got you've got solid

487
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.839
starters everywhere you look, but like
you know, corner, for example,

488
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.279
you have a guy that could be
a first round draft pick, and then

489
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.839
all of a sudden you had a
big question mark on the other side defensive

490
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.720
line. You know, you have
four solid starters, but hey, where's

491
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.160
the death? I think they address
that. And then you have, you

492
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:47.039
know, one of the best linebackers
in the country in Manu Well, who's

493
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.640
going to start alongside them? So
you know, there was always safeties.

494
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:52.480
We already knew we were going to
be stacked there. But I mean,

495
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.559
you look everywhere you have solid players, but it's like depth, and you

496
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.319
know, you just have to plug
and play a few other positions, and

497
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.160
the offense is gonna be good no
matter what, not no matter what.

498
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.960
But you know what I'm saying,
it's gonna be good. As long as

499
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.640
you have that quarterback, we're gonna
be five. Yeah, solves a lot

500
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.599
of problems, right, Yeah,
And don't forget the wide receiver. Yeah

501
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:16.039
you can catch oh, I know, but you got to remember, like

502
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.559
one of the like one of the
coaches said last year on one of the

503
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.119
interviews, I forget who it was. He wasn't trying to, you know,

504
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.640
talk trash about the last quarterback,
but he goes. The one thing

505
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.920
about Noah is if you're open,
he's not staring on the other side of

506
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.519
the field. He's gonna find you
if you get open. So if you

507
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.359
have a lot of young, talented
receivers, a couple of these guys,

508
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:36.839
they're gonna pop their heads up just
because they know how to get open,

509
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:39.119
and they're gonna have the ball.
Yeah, did you still keep it?

510
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:43.039
This is a dumb, dumb question, because I'm sure you don't. But

511
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.400
the past or recent players and who
have played for Akina and and I'm sure

512
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.960
you would have played, you would
have loved to play for him. Well,

513
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.119
it's funny. So the year I
got injured, he was supposed to

514
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.119
come in and he was supposed to
be the defensive backs coach and I think

515
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.880
he got here and so that we
were you know, injury riddled, and

516
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:06.799
because our coaching staff was you know, on the hot seat, I think

517
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.200
he kind of you know, reassessed
what he wanted to do, and then

518
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:14.079
Texas came back in with a huge
offering. So apparently, you know,

519
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.279
a week after he came in,
he got right back on that burnt orange

520
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.240
plane and got the hell out of
there. And I thought that that was

521
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.960
smart, just because we had literally
nobody coming back. We had a bunch

522
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.119
of guys go to the NFL,
and we had a bunch of freshmen that

523
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.000
we're going to be playing, So
it would have been a headache for a

524
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.599
guy that's one of, you know, arguably one of the better defensive back

525
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:37.039
coach coaches that's college football's ever seen. So yeah, I would have loved

526
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.799
to play for him. It's just
you know, hey, you know,

527
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.480
was about twelve thirteen years too too
old. Yeah, okay, Hey,

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:58.440
through the eyes of twenty five former
players, coaches, and friends to give

548
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:00.760
insight to the coach and the men
who led them, competed against them,

549
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.000
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters
for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved

550
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.960

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.840
okay, we go. We talked
about You've talked about that with us

596
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:51.119
right away. We kind of grade
grade the year one to ten on the

597
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:57.840
overall grade that the sports program.
I'm looking at eight and a half nine.

598
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.480
I mean, yeah, we were. We were eight point one point

599
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.159
two before the football, before the
baseball and softball and then all this stuff

600
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.760
was So I think Jay and I
are about a nine right now. I

601
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:13.760
would agree lack of you know,
hey, ten, but would have made

602
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.599
it at least a bigger one.
But let me tell you, because you

603
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.280
you were here at this time or
right before the great times, the nineties

604
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.920
were fantastic, right They finished highly, highly in the Series Cup or the

605
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.440
Director's Cup. They're not at that
level right now, but it was a

606
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.239
heck of a year to compare to
that. Yeah, I mean that was

607
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.800
ninety three to ninety four. Was
festival champion and final four. That was

608
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.199
a good year. Ninety eight football
was pretty good. There was on basketball

609
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.400
team until lead eight. Uh,
there's a lot of things to like.

610
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.320
Softball was very good. Yeah.
Oh no, teams did well this year.

611
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.360
Gona be happy. I'm gonna ask
you a question after Juan comes up

612
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.760
with a couple more or one more? Right? Yeah? So the two

613
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.159
Song super Schools play a game tomorrow
against the Duke City Gladiators. Uh,

614
00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:05.000
six oh five and TCC. So
are they what times tomorrows games? Baseball?

615
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:07.719
Seven o'clock? It's one in seven. Yeah. So now you're starting

616
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:15.079
having competing efforts here with sports teams. I saw just now that the regional

617
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:17.719
here are allowed because it's gonna be
so hot, they're allowing your own water,

618
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.679
right, you can take your own
water. Uh, that's pretty much

619
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:25.400
standard is always louding bring in your
water. Oh okay, okay, the

620
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.199
desert, it's like the water.
So so you work these security things at

621
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.599
the games, right, security things, you know, Yes, that's your

622
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:39.239
job. Any any sport tougher than
the other. And then you don't know,

623
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:43.519
you don't do specifically, you you
don't everything. We do everything,

624
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:49.360
So just we do sports entertainment.
Entertainment's the toughest entertainment is because there's a

625
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.000
lot more drinking involved in entertainment.
You like concerts, concert, Yeah,

626
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.480
concert a festival for instance, that's
the toughest because that's an all day event

627
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.639
and people are out in the hot
heat all day long drinking not water.

628
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:05.320
All right, not what they should
be, but they're there all day.

629
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.400
And country music is probably a little
tougher them. So right, all right,

630
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:14.039
and uh, what do you This
is another dupe question. Do you

631
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.800
guys have the authority? T authority? Two? What if Steve is kind

632
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.519
of loopy and you know, being
obnoxious at one? We want to get

633
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.599
you medical attention. Right, if
you're loopy and you're not you're not being

634
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:28.000
right. We want to get medical
to look at you and go, yeah,

635
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.320
this guy's just drunk, but I'm
loopy, loopy from too many,

636
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.960
too many drinks. Yeah, then
we try to get your ride home.

637
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.480
So you know what, you're a
danger to yourself and other people at this

638
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:38.320
moment, and we're gonna ask you
to leave. And that's the phrase.

639
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.239
I mean, there's a lot of
drunk people inside, but to themselves,

640
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.079
they're not a danger yet, but
you are now a danger to yourself and

641
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.320
other people, and we're gonna kindly
ask you to leave. We're not giving

642
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.000
you your keys and letting you drive
home, though, we're gonna find you.

643
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:52.480
Who'd you come with? Where's your
buddy? Yeah? Did you have

644
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.960
any friends? And I don't have
any friends. Well that's why you're loopy.

645
00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:59.920
So we get your dry, we
get your ride home, but you

646
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:00.880
in an uber, we get you
in a taxi. We make sure you

647
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.880
get homesick. Yeah that's smart.
Yeah, yeah, that's smart. Who's

648
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:09.880
expense? You know what? It's
usually mine really for the venue. It's

649
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:13.920
it's most people. I got uber. I can do it myself, like,

650
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.000
okay, right in, But there's
once in a while we've had to

651
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:19.880
pay for him. Sure. Yeah, well good on you. I'd rather

652
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.760
you get home safe. Sure,
and that, like you said, not

653
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.159
just your life, other people's life
exactly. Yeah, that makes sense.

654
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:30.079
Okay, Uh, anything else?
Do you want to talk about? Baseball?

655
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:31.559
Baseball? Ball, man, I'm
excited. I hope they do well

656
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:37.000
tonight. You know, I'm not
a big baseball fan per se, but

657
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.280
I do love when Arizona's in it. At the end of the year Regionals.

658
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:45.199
I I really can't stand Major League
Baseball. I just don't watch it

659
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:50.079
because I don't know. Not enough
scoring, I don't know. She must

660
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.119
hate soccer. I could never hit
the ball. It's probably why I could

661
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.400
never play baseball, so I never
got into it. I was a football

662
00:42:55.400 --> 00:43:00.800
basketball guy. But you are a
UFC guy. I love you. Tomorrow

663
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:04.760
is a big night, big night. Yeah, Dustinloye ain't gonna fight.

664
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.960
And for those who don't remember this
or or may have forgotten, he's the

665
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.880
guy to beat up Connor McGregor.
Connor McGregor come up two three years ago

666
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.760
and give him the ankle injury or
whatever foot injury knocked him out the first

667
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.440
time, broke his leg the next
time. Yeah, and then and then

668
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.599
lost the next time. Well,
it's got it's tough men to stay hungry

669
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.360
in that game. I think it's
just like anything. It's tough. What

670
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.840
do you mean, you're getting your
butt kicked? Yeah, you need to

671
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.480
stay tough. Well, no,
but you've been at the top. If

672
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.360
you're your top, when you're at
the top of that level, it's a

673
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.119
hungry to stay there is tough.
Yeah, but yeah, because they're like

674
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:44.320
maybe I'll sleep in the day,
maybe I won't run an extra mile to

675
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:46.800
day. So I think that's what
happens to all of us called the Buster

676
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.320
Douglas routine. Buster Douglas, you
knocked out the best guy in the world.

677
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.800
Yeah, we don't have to prove
anymore now I can go right yeah,

678
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:58.400
right, No, It's that's tough
when to stay on top. Yeah,

679
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:00.360
so that's such should be a nice
night of fighting. Yeah, seeing

680
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.239
people beat the crap out of each
other. I like the because there's short

681
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.639
fights. You got three rounds or
five rounds. It's not fifteen or twelve

682
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.760
or whatever they used to be,
right boxing, and there's you know who

683
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:15.679
wins. I mean, it's tough
to say the cars, say fifteen thirteen.

684
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.599
They either you're you're getting off the
floor and you've just been knocked out.

685
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.679
Yeah, most of them in with
a pretty distinct winner. Yeah,

686
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:28.880
the most part. Right, Uh, you went to another you go to

687
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.199
a a number of them here,
right, sure, But in Vegas you

688
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.960
must have gone to a few of
those big fights, the big fights.

689
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.920
Yeah, we actually host them at
Thomas and Mack. Ye biggest fight,

690
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:44.320
biggest fight probably we did a Tyson
fight. We did a holy Field and

691
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:50.199
Rick Bow. Oh that was a
good fight. We did a I Coarte

692
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:53.800
and Caesar Chobbings, I think fight. There were some good ones at Thomas

693
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:57.480
and Max Center Back and then yeah, the ones I went to I went

694
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:04.639
to before they all the casinos built
their own stadiums or they used Thomas were

695
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:08.119
I went to a couple of one
to De la Hoya, Dela Hoya and

696
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:14.760
Mayweather. But that was m M
I think uh and some of the other

697
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:19.679
ones. George Foreman and when he
when he upset when he came back and

698
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.320
he said, Cooper, I think
it was Cooper amazed at how many entertainers

699
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:27.559
love boxing, and oh, it's
the place to be and you see him

700
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:29.679
right on the side, you know, right on the side of I mean,

701
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.559
there's no better place to be than
at a boxing event. We created

702
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.559
a whole red carpet area for those
events, and they were like, you

703
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:38.400
guys are coming down the trash shoot
like you know, we dressed up,

704
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:42.159
but you guys are in the back
back house, right, But that's what

705
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.360
they wanted to come in, right
carpet, put in some queen palms and

706
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.639
who was the who was the who's
the rider guy? Oh yeah, yeah,

707
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:57.320
yeahs he was always there. The
guys from Saved by the Bell.

708
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.800
What was that guy's name? I
oh just uh yeah, the blonde guy,

709
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.599
the other guy, No, not
that, oh yeah or yeah,

710
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:15.199
yes, god, Mario Lopez Stallone. Those guys are always always coming down.

711
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:16.800
That was amazing. How many of
those guys come out of the woodwork.

712
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:21.960
Yeah, I'm a good fight.
Do you have? This is a

713
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.320
dumb question. You probably should not
have been doing this. Any cool autographs.

714
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:30.920
No, I'm not an autographed guy, like I really wasn't. I'm

715
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:34.840
not impressed by you or you know, to the point where I need your

716
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.840
autograph, Well then you're not asking
for mine. No, I don't need

717
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:44.159
unless you're write me a check.
Never mind, never mind those the other

718
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:45.480
way. And I think that's why
I'm good at my job. Is I've

719
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:50.199
never really cared to Yeah, you
know, I'm not on audio point.

720
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:52.880
You know, I'm like, you're
another dude, you're getting from your car

721
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:54.519
to the stage. I'm here to
help you, you know what. And

722
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:58.480
that's how you're supposed to look at
it. Yeah, and that's I've never

723
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:00.000
been that guy. Oh my god, it's so Yeah. Yeah, I'm

724
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.039
not anymore. In fact, I've
told the story a few thousand times.

725
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.599
I'm not a sports fan because of
because of that, I've run into some

726
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.480
bad sports guys. Yeah, I
mean there's some people. I was like,

727
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.239
you know what, I like what
you do? You know, the

728
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.719
guy I think the world is Steve
Kerr, and he's that guy you know

729
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.159
when he's you know, never signed
stuff. But sure, uh, you

730
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.000
know other guys just who are just
good guys. Yeah, No, there's

731
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.440
a lot of those. There's some
bad ones, and there's some entertainers that

732
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.320
run across. I'm sure you met
those guys, the bad ones and just

733
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:31.360
kind of didn't give people to tell
you and you saw him in fans didn't

734
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.960
give him time a day. Yeah. And the guys that have done it

735
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.519
for years and years and years are
the guys that sign autographs for hours or

736
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:43.719
talk to people for hours and they
don't get anything from them. Well,

737
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.519
you mentioned Bill Bolton earlier in the
same way he stayed to stay for Garth

738
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.639
Brooks was one of those guys.
Garth would sit around and we did a

739
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:55.079
three day special for HBO at Thomas
and Max Center, and he every day

740
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:58.639
came the same way he did the
same stuff, talked the same people,

741
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:00.920
and the last day he came through
and he gave everybody something. Hey,

742

Here's some drumsticks, Hey, here's a

743
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.400
here's an autograph. Whatever. And
he went around and talked to all those

744
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.360
people that ran elevators, that did
escalators, that did tickets, that whatever

745
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.719
it was, cleaned the dishes or
set out the food. He said,

746
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:19.679
hey, thank you for working all
three days. And you're like, I

747
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.239
really like that guy. I hate
country music, but I love that dude.

748
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:23.159
Yeah. Like I'd like to marry
that guy. Run. Yes,

749
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:25.880
you would be a perfect cut.
You are a country dude to me,

750
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.239
that's what I'm born and raised in
Indiana. Dude, Bloomington, Indiana.

751
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:35.519
I was a Bobby Knight guy.
Wow, when did dad go south?

752
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.159
When my dad and mom moved out
to Tucson, so we moved, we

753
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.599
left Bloomington and eighty three, same
year Loot came out from Iowa. Okay,

754
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.840
So my dad said you were seven. I was eleven. Ten to

755
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:52.800
eleven okay, ten, Yeah,
but you gave me when you're ten.

756
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:54.360
You don't know about Bobby Knight or
do you know my dad goes if it's

757
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:58.400
good enough for Ludolson, it's a
good enough for us. Yeah. No,

758
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:00.239
but I'm telling you to growing if
you were Bobby Guy, I just

759
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:04.000
know it was Indiana basketball. Okay, that makes sense. That was Indiana

760
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.000
basketball. He is new. But
everybody's like outside, it's kind of like

761
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:09.480
Arizona. People outside of Arizona like, oh my god, Arizona's right,

762
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:14.119
Like we've had a discussion before,
blue blood. Arizona's blue blood. Well,

763
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:16.119
everybody outside thinks they are. I
don't know about that. We we

764
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:22.239
had what about Indiana? Are they
No? And Arizona is yes, you're

765
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:29.480
crazy? Did you come what's that? Yeah? What's that? You're going

766
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:31.880
in the wrong direction. I don't
know, man, I don't think you

767
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.920
could ever get better than the Bobby
Night years that were there. They were

768
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:37.519
they were there, are blue blood. They're not a blue blood. They're

769
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:42.559
not. Back to the Indiana game
was always fun to watch. I've always

770
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.360
stepped my dollar that one to watch
it. Those two teams just dislike each

771
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.119
other, two programs going in the
wrong direction. Sure, we'll see how

772
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.000
Babow does out there. Did you
know did you talk to bollow at all?

773
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:58.159
No? No, I had an
exmotions about them. No, no,

774
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.239
Ye couldn't hit free throw. Yeah
again, it's that jumper. He

775
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.679
can't go to the NBA because he
can't hit a jumper. Yeah. His

776
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.920
shot was horrible. Yeah, it
was that push shut Yeah, like that's

777
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.280
horrible, man, it's a shot. It's not an NBA shot, not

778
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:19.159
an NBA show. Yeah. Yeah, I was surprised he left though.

779
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.480
Uh. Yeah, I was surprised
to give them the relationship he had with

780
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:27.039
Yeah, but it was a mutual
decision. Yes, it was go ahead,

781
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:29.440
son, go ahead and go.
I think a lot of that's making

782
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:31.519
room, yeah, very much.
So. Yeah, we have other guys

783
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:36.440
who will benefit more base management.
Yeah, and Indiana's gonna love him.

784
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.519
Yeah, you know the great coach
out there too. You think Winston's a

785
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:45.159
good coach. I think so.
I don't. We're disagreeing a lot,

786
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:47.199
right, But I didn't get your
check this week. I didn't get your

787
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:54.880
check this week. So you're a
good guy. I can pull it back

788
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:59.800

already been pushed. You don't waste any

789
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:05.800
