O'Toole as they knew Cal Golden Bears pitching

00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.839

7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.399
sense, right, so she got
hired assistant coach. I guess it would

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.520
have thought you the pitching. Yeah, no, good for her. It

9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.679
was really good for her. We've
had her on the show. She pitched

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.240

Nice? Nice? So you know
against some Tree yep, Mike Andrea Tree

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.760
going on at both Cal and Oregon. I wonder there's gotta be how your

17
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:11.359
body knows this former UA who softball
coaches players who are now coaches. I'll

18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.879
bet you there's about ten a rough
estimate. Well, yeah, I mean

19
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.280
there's a bunch of the whole bunch. Yeah. Arizona's built on him here.

20
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.920
Yeah, exactly After not getting drafted, mac Bingingham is opting to transfer

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.439
to LSU to play for the coach
that originally brought him Arizona, Jay Johnson.

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.640
Yep, if you didn't really like
him now or before, you don't

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.719
like him now, hey, listener, Bill texted me and said, if

24
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.560
you think I'm root for j Johnson, forget it. So you know,

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.120
uh, but I mean, you
know, somebody made the point I just

26
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.640
saw. It's a little bit of
go on Twitter saying Okay, so you're

27
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.319
upset at Jay Johnson for taking um, you know, some players from Arizona

28
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.040
or the LSU. So are you
upset at Adia Barnes when she brought a

29
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.879
McDonald from Washington with her? Are
you upset with Tommy Lloyd for bringing Umar

30
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.199
Ballo with him. It's the same
thing. It's just whether you're on the

31
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.560
receiving or receiving or giving end of
that. There's a phrase for that.

32
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.560
I will not. Yeah, you
know, Billsville City. You just kind

33
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.319
of wish that Jay Johnson would recruit
somewhere other than corbit Field. Well,

34
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.319
then he's probably saying, what did
he recruit him? He must have recruited,

35
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.919
must have Yeah. Well, and
then Jay saying I'm the one that

36
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.280
gave him. I brought him here, so I get to take him if

37
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.599
he's ye uh. The Tennis Tennessee
Football program has been issued at eight million

38
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.919
dollars fine um for the participation of
three three ineligible players in the twenty twenty

39
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:47.159
tacks like AATA Bowl. So they
got They said that there were hundreds of

40
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.280
instances of violations. And by that
I mean like when when somebody coming on

41
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.520
an official visit was getting paid.
They were paying for the hotel room,

42
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.879
they're paying for their meal, they're
paying for the transportation. That was you

43
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.919
know, probably five violations right there, and that there were hundreds of them.

44
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.039
And this was over a long period
of time. Um, Jeremy Pruett

45
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.520
was the coach at the time he
got fired. They were just doing this

46
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.159
and didn't care what the rules were. I read the whole um NC double

47
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.599
a report on that and that they
just didn't care. They said, we

48
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.000
know there's rules, and we don't
care what the rules are. We're doing

49
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.479
We're doing this. They were bringing
they would be having visits during the the

50
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.680
COVID dead time, just like they
did, you know, JSU. They

51
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:42.039
got pounded, but not bad because
they excuse me that they had self reported

52
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.639
a bunch of this, I took
a bunch of scholarships away visit stuff like

53
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.680
that. Yes, And additionally,
the panel also prescribed a fine of five

54
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.280
thousand dollars plus three percent of the
football program's budget. So that's also all

55
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.560
right, So and then well that's
what the a million dollars. Yeah,

56
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.080
so then, um, they didn't
What they did not do is they didn't

57
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.560
give him a postseason a postseason ban, and that was because I think that

58
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.039
was probably because all these guys are
gone. Yeah, we're not going to

59
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.520
punish the guys who are here,
but we're going to punish the school a

60
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:16.879
whole bunch. Well, they in
fact that they could have been a lot

61
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.360
worse, but they didn't. They
could have been. Yeah, but it's

62
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.199
a five year probation. The character
for Jeremy Pruett who's not employed right now.

63
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.000
Is that he's got a six years
show cause, meaning that for six

64
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.360
years. You know that any job
college sports related job that he gets,

65
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.480
he has suspended for one year at
least of that if he takes a job

66
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.879
in that six years. So that's
crazy. The Phoenix Suns TV deal with

67
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:50.759
Great Television is now official. Great
Television was that m that's not Bally Sports

68
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.279
right? No, so Balley Sports
couldn't come to a deal with the Phoenix

69
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.639
Suns. Um So, I guess
Great Television and the Phoenix Suns have come

70
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.600
to out television. Um contract?
But what what channel is that? Mean?

71
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.480
What work is that? I mean? Great Television is what I think?

72
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.399
That's the company name. Yeah,
that's the company names. I don't

73
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.759
know, I'm not sure. Um
all right? In other words, what

74
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.600
what channel do you tune into find
the Sun's game? Yeah? On Forward

75
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.120
because they were they had been on
Valley. Yes, yes, but they

76
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.079
can't come to an agreement with the
Suns or the Phoenix Mercury. Um.

77
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.120
So this is all the company Great
Television guests steptain. They got the deal

78
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.319
done right, Okay? Yeah?
Uh? Dwyane Wade is joining the w

79
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:36.680
NBA's Chicago's Chicago Sky's ownership group.
So no, yeah, you know it's

80
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.399
amazing that these players can buy go
buy teams. Now, well, I

81
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.319
was just thinking that too. When
you make a ton of money, and

82
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.639
I kept a ton of tons of
money into the millions, hundreds of millions

83
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.000
of dollars, what you can do
with your money? Go buy a team

84
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.639
by team, by game, invested, you know, by property whatnot.

85
00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:02.759
So yeah, um Sabrina um And
sets an all time w NBA and NBA

86
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:10.120
record with thirty seven points in the
final round with three point contest. Have

87
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.639
you seen the video? No,
okay, I went and saw the video.

88
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.279
Um. So you you know,
you go around the perimeter of the

89
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.480
three point line. So she starts
in the corner. She misses the first

90
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.040
shot, right, I thought,
wait, wait a minute, how she

91
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.279
got it? She hit twenty in
a row, so she was all the

92
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.480
way on the other side, missed
one and then hit the last five.

93
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.519
Rou Yeah, so she hit twenty
five out of twenty seven within the time

94
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.040
limit. That's crazy. You know, he had all the money balls,

95
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.000
but she missed two and the and
the one of the ones she missed was

96
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.040
the first one. So she hit
twenty five over the next twenty six three

97
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.680
points. Could you make two in
a row, Steve? Could you make

98
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.920
one in a row? Yes?
How long? Okay? How long would

99
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.480
it take you to make the first
one? Oh? I don't know,

100
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.839
ten seconds? No, I mean
how many shots? Oh? Probably the

101
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.000
first rack, somewhere in the first
round. You could hit one in the

102
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.319
first rack. First. But let's
say the first five shots hit you get

103
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.199
six racks? Thirty? Do you
get three shots? Yeah? Oh I'm

104
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.199
making six? Maybe maybe six?
Okay? How many? How long?

105
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.439
I mean, how many shots would
it take you to make your first one?

106
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.399
Oh? I don't know, I
don't know. Maybe four thanks to

107
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.720
gauge, the gauge of distance and
all that stuff. Yeah, yeah,

108
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.720
yeah, okay, yeah fo yeah, doing my first one? Yeah?

109
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.759
Am I warmed up? Or no? Am? I just like getting on

110
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.720
the cordina? Um? No,
you could take a couple and then you

111
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.319
say, okay, now we're gonna
time. You'll take the two y three?

112
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.959
Probably? Yeah, if I warmed
up, I'm pretty good shot the

113
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.519
thirty. How are you hitting?
Um? Probably like twelve? Okay,

114
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:46.759
really yeah, I'm a pretty good
shotty of thirty. That's yeah, that's

115
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.160
two out of seven and a half. If you're hitting, I'm doing the

116
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:56.439
math. Yeah for what that's say? Okay that we uh no, that's

117
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.959
that's twelve two out of five.
It's two out of five. Yeah,

118
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.000
forty percent. You think you're forty
percent shooter? Yeah, if nobody's covering

132
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.320
all the breaking news I have for
today. Okay. UM, I saw

133
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.000
a couple of things. One and
I don't know how we missed this because

134
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.279
this was actually you know a column
that will John Willard did a couple of

135
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.320
days ago. Um. Bobby Robbins
is now on the PAC twelve Um.

136
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.320
Um what you call it the PAC
twelve? Um got darn itt? Not

137
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.679
board of directors. Yeah, maybe
it's UH executive committee, the PAC twelve

138
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:33.440
executive meet which which is made up
of three UH university presidents. It's it's

139
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.639
now the Washington state president who took
who took over as the board chair,

140
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.000
Bobby Robbins took over for Washington's Anna
Marie Kassi or something like that, whose

141
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.840
term expired. And then it's Stanford's
president Mark Tessie Levine, who's uh.

142
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.720
And so they kind of they're the
ones who kind of make recommendations and stuff

143
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.360
like that send them to the full
PACK twelve board, which is you know,

144
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.600
all the presidents and that's how decisions
can be. But now Bobby Robins

145
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:05.279
is on that Executive Committee. So
so we've had doctor Robins on a number

146
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.039
of times. Good guy, very
accommodating. So let me ask you,

147
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.200
a busy man, right yep,
how much you think he enjoys this?

148
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:18.399
Because uh, Shelton would not have
been on this list. Uh Coffler probably

149
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.919
not on this list. Uh,
the Hispanic president. That was no,

150
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.320

we'll talk about that. But he's like

169
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.240
he is now on the on the
executive Manny, watch you think bodes well.

170
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.720
Two. A couple of things in
there that Wildern pointed out. One

171
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.600
that there's a guy who's loved sports
and has evolved in you know, thinks

172
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.120
about it all the time is in
there. And also that one of the

173
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:07.679
four Corners schools is on the executive
committee now because it was before it was

174
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.799
it was Washington State, Washington,
and Stanford basically the northern division. And

175
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.840
now you've got, you know,
somebody from the southern area and it's one

176
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.440
of the corner schools. So yeah, excuse me. He thinks that that's

177
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.240
gonna be a have a good impact
on on what goes on in the Pact

178
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.039
world. Yeah, I think I
I talked to you about getting the Crevius's

179
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.000
stats because they lost. He eventually
lost. Yeah, he was. He

180
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.639
was in his gay in his last
game, he was, he went,

181
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.320
he was fourteen and thirty thirteen,
he was a double double. Lost lost

182
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.000
to Belgium. He plays for Lithuania. Lost to Belgium seventy seven seventy one.

183
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.440
Sounds like he made quite an impression
on some folks, uh in this

184
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:50.600
uh was it was an under twenty
under nineteen twenty tournament. Yeah, uh

185
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.399
here fourteen thirteen, two and two. Yeah, Yeah, I think this

186
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.559
team is gonna be very good.
It's gonna be different. It's gonna be

187
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.399
different. It's gonna be different.
Yeah, it's gonna yeah, it's it's

188
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.120
gonna have a it's gonna have a
clearly a different look. But again,

189
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.840
as you expect, it's gonna be
like that pretty much every year. There's

190
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.600
gonna be just just different faces and
more. You know, it's not like

191
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.600
you're just gonna lose the two or
three guys who who used up their eligibility,

192
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.519
Right, It's gonna be guys that
It's gonna be a lot of people

193
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.080
leaving, you know, every single
year. And then you know that Timmy

194
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:26.759
Kencrup he can you know, yeah
he should not at all, Alright,

195
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.919
but people big game. Boomer came

200
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.039
of them in town. There's one
right by our house. So that's part

201
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.240
of why I really like it.

I'm not. I'm not a huge pizza

203
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.519
guy. But you know when there's
a good one, you know, you

204
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.759

and it's all melty and yeah,
yeah, yeah gooey, and the crust

206
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.440
is good. Yeah. And if
you eat the whole thing, right,

207
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.480
if you the crust and everything,
um, you know, you know it's

208

We have our regular guy, Jake

276
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.799
Fisher on Jake, how are you

the pool, about to jump in
as then as we get off, How

278
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.720
are you guys? We're doing fine. What do you live the life?

279
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.559
Man? Yeah, you lived the
life. We are very blast. We

280
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.319
are very blast. Yes, yes, hey, I want to ask you.

281
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.680
We have a few things to ask
you. But we were talking about

282
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.839
coaches yesterday. The baseball coach at
Northwestern and we know all the problems right

283
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:59.680
that they're going through. The baseball
coach was was let go after some investigations

284
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.920
of harassment or whatever. It was
taunting or I can't remember the words.

285
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:10.319
But these days coaches can't do much
right, I guess, I mean,

286
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.680
I guess. I mean, like
the worst that I got when I was

287
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.519
a freshman or at the U of
A was they would take my cat cart

288
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.160
like once every two months. They
would kind of put us on a loop.

289
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.960
It was like every Thursday or Friday
they take our cat cart and pay

290
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.319
for lunch. And that was pretty
much it. We never got any of

291
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.599
the crazy stuff to talking about there. Yeah, I was gonna ask you

292
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:32.039
what was what was it bad?
And how bad? How bad have you

293
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.200
ever been yelled at by a coach? Oh my gosh, you guys have

294
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.920
met a couple of my coaches.
I mean the Soop's brothers were pretty bad.

295
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.079
Obviously. You know, they'd yell
at you if you did something wrong,

296
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.440
but then they'd love you up as
soon as you know, you know,

297
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.720
the play was finished or you do
something good. Coach cast Deal,

298
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.920
who was probably my favorite coach of
all time, him and Coach Cash,

299
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.880
but you know, they were definitely
different. But Coach cast Deal would uh,

300
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.440
I mean, he'd get in your
face and he would always had a

301
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.200
lip in so every now and then
you get some chew on your face and

302
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.880
that was fun. But uh,
you know, but he was also your

303
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.359
biggest, uh, your biggest cheerleader
when you did well. So I've gotten

304
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:08.920
shoot out quite a bit. My
dad used to be my coach. I've

305
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.079
gotten shoot out by am and in
high school we had a couple of coaches

306
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.440
that shoot us out. So,
um, I mean throughout the ranks,

307
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.920
I've been shoot out pretty you know, kind of a lot, actually,

308
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.440
Jake, And in all your time
in locker rooms, you know, one

309
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.559
of the one of the things with
the Northwestern football thing is that they're saying

310
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.759
that, you know, Pat Fitzgerald, who was a legendary guy there,

311
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:33.359
got fired. They're saying he either
knew and let this happen, or he

312
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:38.160
didn't know and it happened that the
hazing stuff that they're talking about. How

313
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.559
believable is that that Pet Frizgerald had
no idea what was going on in the

314
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.160
locker room. As far as all
this hazy stuff that's going is going on,

315
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.200
I don't believe it at all,
to be honest with you. And

316
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.039
this is the reason why, you
know, you got a hundred players,

317
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.359
you got so many staff members.
You got a bunch of folks that are

318
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.079
in the equipment room, you got
a bunch of folks that are you know,

319
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.200
in the you know, that are
helping with treatment. Um. I

320
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.319
mean, there's just so many people
around that somebody probably told somebody else that

321
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.799
would have ended up making it.
You know, it's way up to him.

322
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.599
So there's no way in hell in
my opinion, that he didn't know.

323
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.279
And it's just unfortunate that, you
know, this has all kind of

324
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.359
come to a head like it has. But yeah, there's just no way

325
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.839
in my opinion that a head coach
who literally is supposed to be the day

326
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.799
to day operations, like he knows
everything where every player is supposed to be

327
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:27.680
on every play, where every player
needs to be, you know, in

328
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.000
terms of class's, you know,
training table, you know, film workouts,

329
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.480
whatever. There's just no way he
didn't know, right, Okay,

330
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.640
so I'm in this one. I'm
not asking you to make a statement on

331
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.920
anything that's happening in Northwestern but you
know, if you're in the locker room

332
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.400
and somebody's asking you to do some
of those things, are telling you you

333
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.799
had to do some of those things, you know, are you saying,

334
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.559
go to hell are you doing it? What do you think you're doing?

335
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.599
And what's the pressure not to dry? Well? To be one hundred percent

336
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.240
honest with you guys, I didn't
really pay attention to the story, but

337
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.160
what I would tell you if there
was something that was over the line,

338
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.400
Uh, you defend yourself and you
punch somebody. That's just kind of where

339
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.160
I'm going to leave it at.
Yeah, okay, and that's I mean,

340
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.240
that's legit. I mean I think
that's what a lot of a lot

341
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.000
of people. Somebody comes and says
to me that I got to do that.

342
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.480
It's on right, And that's like
I said, I don't know what

343
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.359
you're referencing, but what I will
tell you, like I said, if

344
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.759
it is over the line, defend
yourself. And there's got to be some

345
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.200
some upper classmen in there. If
it is get into that that, you

346
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.119
know, point I got to step
up and just stop the crap. I

347
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.559
mean, that's just stupid, right
right, No, No, especially today,

348
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.759
right you just can't. You know, sure they're gonna make you stand

349
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.799
up and seeing your alma materate,
you know, at a dinner or something

350
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:42.359
like that, but you know,
to do some of this other stuff.

351
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.440
That's kind of just as you say
over the line, I mean, somebody's

352
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.039
got to put a stop to that. Yeah, somebody asked to and most

353
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.240
of the time it's got to be
somebody who's an upper classman. But the

354
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.839
fact that they only won you know, one or two or however many games

355
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.599
that won last year, it shows
how crappy they're uppers. You know,

356
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.640
ship is anyway, so you probably
didn't have anyone with the stones to actually,

357
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.880
you know, put a stop to
it. So there you go,

358
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:07.640
that's a really good point. Hadn't
thought of that because they've been bad.

359
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.640
He won four games the last two
years, And I guess you could say,

360
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.640
you know, the locker room was
a crap place to be, and

361
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.440
that might have might explain some things
as the way they got so bad so

362
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.880
fast. One then it probably stops
a lot of the younger you know,

363
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.039
the younger kids from actually growing up
and getting better. You know, it's

364
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.279
like I'm free to go to the
locker room or be around any of my

365
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.799
my teammates, like that's not a
fun place to be. Yeah. So,

366
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:37.039
uh, given the LSU transferred guy, uh what's his name, Bamingham,

367
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.039
and I was just gonna say how
much do you like? I mean,

368
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.680
like I said, hey, greener
pastures. You know, he won

369
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.880
a national championship. Obviously he uh, you know, it's already panned out

370
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.440
for him. I feel like that
national championship a couple of years ago that

371
00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:00.160
when against US should have been hours. But hey, you know, if

372
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.440
they're willing to pay a lot and
he likes being there, then I mean

373
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.599
we can't hold them hostage. You
know what I mean so exactly, I

374
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.960
mean it is what it is.
Yeah, Hey, we haven't talked to

375
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.640
you since Elijah Rushing committed to Arizona. UM, A lot of talk about

376
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:17.759
how the you know, you know, we had Ari Wasserman on the last

377
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.759
last Hour about how the profile for
Arizona from a recruiting standpoint, and there's

378
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.000
people who are kind of out there
national you know, coaches or whatever who

379
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.160
are pretty impressed with what Arizona is
doing. What were your thoughts on on

380
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.319
Rushing committing to Arizona. Well,
first of all, I love the class

381
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.119
so far. UM. You know, it's it's very refreshing, unlike the

382
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.960
last coaching staff where you're beating out
kids you know that are you know,

383
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.039
their second best offers like Portland State. Um, so that's awesome. I'm

384
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:51.039
thankful for jet Fishing Company. I
will tell you Elijah and Kona. I

385
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.319
love the fact that those two were
from Tucson. We made it a priority

386
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.200
to go get them. They're right
down the street, so you should be

387
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.599
seeing them every day, if not
every other damn day. And I love

388
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.400
the fact that Elijah said, you
know, I'm going to go against the

389
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.000
grain here. I'm not going to
do it's easy. I'd like to stay

390
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.720
home, close to family, and
I'd like to turn Arizona new contender.

391
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:14.759
So the fact that him and Keona
both decided to do that, I mean,

392
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.680
and this is the thing. When
you get into college, you know

393
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.079
that bond is just going to help
you through the grueling days of practice,

394
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.920
you know, going through just the
hard times to camp. And I mean,

395
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.359
I hope that those two can,
you know, kind of like what

396
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.839
Brooks Reid did, you know,
at the defensive end position. I hope

397
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.960
that those guys can start and be
a solid book end for two to three

398
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.480
years. Are you going to be
coming down two more games this year?

399
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.880
I know you're busy men, but
yeah, no, I should be able

400
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.880
to get down there a couple of
times this year. I don't know what

401
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.480
games yet, they have no idea. I'm hoping that I can actually get

402
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.839
to meet to Jetfish in person this
time, and hopefully I can get some

403
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.920
some field passes wink wink. Who
knows. But yeah, you know,

404
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.880
I'm excited. Guys. There hasn't
been this kind of buzz run Arizona football

405
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.519
I'm like five or six years.
So I'm I'm super excited. I'm gonna

406
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.839
I'm gonna do my best to make
time to get down there. I know

407
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.200
that we're probably going to be,
you know, probably white years ahead of

408
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:08.759
where we've been the last five or
six years. I feel like we have

409
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.079
the coaching that we haven't had,
you know since the witch spot a hunt.

410
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.240
And so if you have good players, you have good coaches. You

411
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.519
know, obviously that's a great combination. And uh, I mean, we

412
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.680
have the talent to get to a
bowl game and beyond this year. So

413
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.359
I'm excited. Okay, I'm sorry, I was I was looking at something

414
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.000
here, so um, you know, I mean, you know, Steve

415
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.279
and I were talking about the same
thing that you know, I know the

416
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.119
people that I hang around with,
are you know, the buzz heading into

417
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.480
this season is like it hasn't been
in quite a while. I don't even

418
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.640
remember being all that much buzz around
the twenty fourteen team, which was really

419
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.480
good. I think it caught us
all kind of by surprise. But we're

420
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:56.480
kind of excited about this season getting
started back. And that's what I'm excited

421
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.599
about because instead of just having cool
tat and you know, a good running

422
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.440
back, you know, a couple
of receivers that can get chunks, we

423
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:11.799
have legitimately two to three NFL m
wide receivers, a couple of NFL running

424
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.640
backs, a couple of NFL tight
ends, a couple of NFL offensive linemen

425
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.119
we have. You know, I
think Jada Dlauren could eventually make his way

426
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.480
into the NFL. I kind of, you know, I think he's kind

427
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.640
of the same fringe, you know
quarterback that Mascot was, where if he

428
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.559
finds a team that fits his his
style of play, he'll stick. If

429
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.759
someone drafts him where you don't fit, which you know Mascot would have went

430
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.960
to, like the Philadelphia Eagles or
someone Chappell was there, whatever it might

431
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.599
have been. You know, I
think he could have made it for a

432
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.599
few years and made some good money. And then on the defensive side of

433
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.680
the ball, we have a bigger
defensive line, so we're not going to

434
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.480
just get ran over every single play. We have Manu back you know,

435
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.000
obviously add justin flow, but with
defensive back room, even though they're young,

436
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.119
I think that we can be really
good. And I honestly just on

437
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.759
the offensive side of the ball,
we have like six or seven NFL players

438
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.839
and we haven't had that since the
Stoops there, So with good coaching,

439
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.359
I think we can do pretty well. So just to go back in the

440
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.400
hype stuff, when you were playing, I think that you're the transition from

441
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.519
Stoops to rich Rod was probably the
most hype time for you. And could

442
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.559
you tell can you could you tell
that there was hype? I mean,

443
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.559
shoot, there was hype when I
was in high school and you know Stoops

444
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.000
and those guys, they got them
to the uh you know, got them

445
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.680
to a bowl game there in Vegas. There was hype obviously when rich Rod

446
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.160
came in UM and like I said, ever since then, you know,

447
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.599
ever since coming off that Fiesta Bowl, I think I don't think there's been

448
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.599
as much hype with the exception and
maybe having kohlil Paid who was an absolute

449
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.160
force at quarterback, and I wish
that he didn't get banged up. I

450
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:42.880
wish he had a few more athletes
around him. But other than that,

451
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.000
Yeah, there hasn't been this hype
around a program with life some times,

452
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.720
no, no doubt. I mean
I think that's what you know, what's

453
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:55.000
got everybody excited. Sounds like they're
selling tickets and whatnot. So hey,

454
00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:00.039
we start to find out. Imagine
having t Mac Imagine having not to dore

455
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.960
In but with the other cat's name
that we just got there you go.

456
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:10.319
Imagine having you know, all the
running backs coming back. Imagine having doing

457
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.119
Morgan. Um, you know,
the big guy, he's gonna be a

458
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.799
sophomore. I mean he's just kicked
out the offensive tackle. I think he's

459
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.839
going to be more of an offensive
guard. And then at the next level,

460
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.480
Jane de Laura comes back, I
mean, the tight ends both come

461
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.960
back. And then having a revamped
defense, or even if the defense is

462
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.799
only like middle of the road.
You know, I saw a couple of

463
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.839
people thought that we were going to
be one of the worst in the nation

464
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.079
again, which is absolute bs.
I think the people they need to get

465
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.039
off of whatever they're on. But
you know the fact that even if,

466
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.880
like I think, they're just gonna
be a middle of the road and we're

467
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.839
gonna make a lot of plays,
get a lot more turnovers, get up

468
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.839
the ball in our offensive hands a
lot more. It's gonna be a fun

469
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.839
year. I can't wait to watch
it. Were you ever did you ever

470
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.799
go to pack up media day?
Were you ever one of the guys?

471
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.599
Yeah? I got to my age
junior and senior year. How was that?

472
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.119
Was it fun? Was it a
pain? What did you like doing

473
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.920
that? It's on? I mean, some of the coaches that you meet,

474
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.279
they're awesome. Like I think it's
Mike Riley when he was at Oregon

475
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.680
State, nicest guy in the entire
world. He knows everybody by first name,

476
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.079
et cetera, et cetera, and
you just want to talk to him

477
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.680
forever. And then you get you
know, guys like Chip Kelly, who

478
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:15.880
they kind of piss you off,
to be honest with you, I mean

479
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.079
they just kind of you know that
you could tell that he rubs off on

480
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:23.000
a team, that type of thing. It's fun to hang out the players,

481
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.839
you know, uh, you know, obviously my junior year, ils

482
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.680
are with Mike Scott or Matt Scott, and you know he was from that

483
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.240
area, so I got to meet
a lot of his friend's family, that

484
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.559
type of stuff. And then my
senior year I got to go there at

485
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.240
Terence Miller, and he knew a
lot of folks, obviously him being from

486
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.599
southern calis So. I mean,
they've put on a first class show.

487
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.400
I will tell you that, son, knowing you as well as I know

488
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.160
you, so, I'm sure you
were annoyed by a couple of questions that

489
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.279
you were asked over there. I
wouldn't know what they are, but do

490
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:53.079
you remember what they were? I
don't remember, but Steve, you know

491
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:59.480
me better than most. I'm annoyed
by a lot of questions. That's what's

492
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.039
Yeah, I see. I think
he was annoyed by that question, right,

493
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.319
I love And by the way,
just as full transparency, I still

494
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:13.599
think you're delusional about seven or eight
wins. H No, I think we're

495
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:15.519
gonna win seven and then the eighth
win's gonna be in the ball game.

496
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.240
She's one up at the end of
the year. If I'm wrong, you

497
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.960
know, talk trash, do whatever
you want. But that's that's my that's

498
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.319
just my goal. That's my pick. I'm sticking to it. All right,

499
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:29.960
that's a good one. You go
get him, Jake, go get

500
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.039

Now take a look back at the lud

521
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:00.599
Olson era. In my new book, Lessons from Loot. It was a

522
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.559
labor of love through the eyes of
twenty five former players, coaches, and

523
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.480
friends to give insight to the coach
and the man who led them, competed

524
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.960
against them, and inspired them.
Twenty five chapters for his twenty five years

525
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.239
as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from
Loot is an insight to how he built

526
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:21.559
the program into a national powerhouse.

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:27.199
a year or whatever. There's been
a few of them. Um, and

596
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.079
the Sugar Skulls have some of those
guys who have had tryouts with the NFL

597
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:34.840
there. I would say they're like
if if you were to say major League

598
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.800
Baseball, I'd say they're like double
A. Okay, Now they're not triple

599
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:42.519
A like on the on the Birds
of Being, but they're double A where

600
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:45.119
you know, you get it.
You have a certain talent, have certain

601
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.360
capability, You've got certain skills,
and somebody's looking for those skills. You

602
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.800
might get the call of the quarterback
from last year, de Quan Neil the

603
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.440
middle of the season went went for
a tryout with the Colts. Right is

604
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:59.159
playing still? Yeah, he's in
Vegas. Okay, so you know they

605
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:02.199
might get they might get a look. Um, you know, I don't

606
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:07.320
see you know, like like Arizona's
I mean Arizona's two sons, running back

607
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.719
Mike Jones, really good player,
face of the face of the league.

608
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:14.880
I mean face of the team,
face of the franchise. Really good player,

609
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.239
probably not an NFL player, maybe
a CFL player, maybe a USFL

610
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.960
player. Yeah, um, you
know, so they're more they're closer to

611
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.840
that NFL. It takes a special
kind. You know. You can tell

612
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.480
you know a Major League Baseball player
versus a you know, a guy in

613
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.199
the miners. There's a there's a
huge difference higher on the air and I

614
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.840
on the ball. Yeah up,
Nico, Yeah, man, did I

615
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:44.119
hear you like Grandma Toni's pa.
I love Grandma Tony's pizza. You go,

616
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.440
I do? I do? Did
you work? Man? I passed

617
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.719
that thing like four times a week
going of the weed, and I never

618
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.719
want to stop that. So when
you have your weed, what makes you

619
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.599
want to eat a pizza? We
just go with the lace potato chips.

620
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.679
After you go for your weed.
What's your go to pizza? I guess

621
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:09.840
New York the one on on tank
AVERTI there no Broadway man, or buy

622
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:15.039
Sara? Oh okay, okay,
okay, okay, okay, No man,

623
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.880
It's it's gotta be. It's gotta
be Grandma Tony's. Yeah, man,

624
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:22.039
I say one time got the wings. I was stuck on the toilet

625
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.599
for three days. Well the wings, the wings are okay, they're not

626
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:29.199
great, um not not top of
the line wings from But you don't go

627
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:31.159
to a pizza place for wings.
Okay, go to a wing place for

628
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:36.559
wings. You gotta put jays.
I didn't want to ask you something.

629
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.239
Okay. You played softball, right, yeah, for a long time.

630
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:43.599
Man, I got this friend that
keeps trying to get me to play.

631
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:49.000
Man. Yeah, it's fine.
I had I played it for years,

632
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.079
I mean a lot of years,
retired and then went back and played another

633
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.239
couple of seasons with with my kids
team. We have a blast you know,

634
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:59.079
out of sports park or is it
a city league or is out of

635
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:01.960
sports park? It's at a Lincoln
Park. I don't know. Okay,

636
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.440
So why are you asking? Because
have you played ball before? I just

637
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.960
played baseball like a man. Okay, So okay, good, So you

638
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:15.800
have some bill, then you can
go have fun. Man. You know,

639
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.840
if you don't, you know what, the only thing you say,

640
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.000
don't take it serious. Okay,
let's keeping go out there and play and

641
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:25.039
have fun. Man, that's the
product that's keeping me. Man. First

642
00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:28.880
of all, we got to practice
two times a week. That's stupid right

643
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.440
there. Okay, don't play with
that team. Do not play with that

644
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:37.440
We'll be running out there feeling like
Zama Dadgers. Yeah, no, I'll

645
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:43.280
know if they practice, don't play, that's not it's not no, I

646
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:47.639
would, I would warn you off
of that. You know, just play

647
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:51.360
some guys. Find some guys who
just like to go out there and play.

648
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.519
Drink some beers. If you're a
Lincoln Park you probably can't drink beers,

649
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:57.639
but you go after the game,
have a couple of beers and not

650
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.719
take yourself too serious. What position
do you play or did you play?

651
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:07.800
Now? Was a short? And
you you you have some skills, then

652
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:15.119
hey man, you're basically forced to
play baseball. You are did you?

653
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.239
Did you? Um? Have you
never played slow pitch shoftball? No?

654
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.039
Man, I don't want to go
sit out there and play with some husband.

655
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:25.320
That's what they are. But that's
what they are, and they're just

656
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.639
out there. If they're just out
there having fun, then it's cool.

657
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:36.880
But if they're practicing, yeah,
you know, I don't know. I

658
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:42.760
can't three days a week, that's
it. That's once a week, man,

659
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.079
that's interfering for your fun time.
You know what that one game a

660
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.400
week I'll play that. I'll come
to the games and if that's good enough,

661
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.320
then I'm coming. But you know, if I have to come to

662
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.800
practice in order to be on the
team and play, I'm not playing exactly.

663
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.239
Man, I got a sex last
man, but I gotta go.

664
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:02.719
Okay, man, it's always good
that he has to, you know.

665
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.960
Look, I the when I played
a lot um. I took it serious

666
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.280
enough where we had uniforms and I
put my uniform on right and all that

667
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.079
bit. But I never was on
a team to practice. We played our

668
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.639
one game, you know, one
day a week, would play on Sunday

669
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:22.360
night sports Park, where I played
on another team that played during the week.

670
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:27.320
But you practicing slow pitch softball is
the dumbest thing ever. Here's the

671
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.679
deal. If you know how to
play, you don't how to play,

672
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:31.679
that's when you don't have to go
practice. No, no, right,

673
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.039
it's just ten dudes out there or
women to go out and play. If

674
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:37.719
you know how to play, you
know how to play your position, you're

675
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.360
good. We see that baseball team, that's Sita League baseball team. They

676
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:45.159
played on for I think fifteen years. We did practice. One time we

677
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:49.360
would play. We would a week
before the season started, would call,

678
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:51.840
you know, would call around and
say, okay, hey, season starts

679
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.599
next Tuesday, be there, and
guys would show up and we would just

680
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:58.760
start to play because that's it's recreation. That's what it's supposed to be.

681
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:00.679
It's not supposed to be something.
Then you're gonna go practice and get to

682
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:04.840
the game and you're gonna be upset
if you lose. All that other crap.

683
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.159
Yeah, it's softball, it's big
Yeah, Okay, come on man,

684
00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:10.920
there are teams are taking very shoots. Those are the very elite teams

685
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:15.159
at the top. But you know
that's well, yeah, it's a different

686
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:16.440
I mean, you know, we
we we had a game again. There

687
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:22.199
was a team they were sponsored by
sporting goods national sporting goods company called Steels

688
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:28.119
and this was this traveling team and
go around the town around towns and they

689
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:30.280
play I don't know if you remember
them, and we played them once.

690
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:35.599
You could tell these guys were pros
and they played a different game well than

691
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.840
what we play. You know,
the guy that was very good is rick

692
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.599
Le Rose. But that was fast
pitch softball, fast pitch. Well,

693
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.960
there was there was a time at
fast pitch softball rule the world is town

694
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.840
with it, you know, and
I you know, you probably got to

695
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:52.199
be seventy years old to have played
in the heyday of fast pitched softball and

696
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:54.280
do something. But there were some
guys, and I know, ros rick

697
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:59.239
Le Rose was a really good baseball
player. I mean he was fifty some

698
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.480
years old and he was playing shortstop
for us and that, uh and then

699
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.679
on that city league baseball team because
he was good. You know, you

700
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:07.199
could tell he could you know,
he could play. Um, he was.

701
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.440
He was a good athlete. But
you know, again, if you're

702
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:14.760
if you're out there to have fun, then go have fun. And if

703
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.440
somebody's saying you got to come and
practice for a slow pitch softball team,

704
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.159
they're not having fun. They're out
there trying to win and if they don't

705
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.719
win, they're gonna be unhappy and
that's not fun. Yeah. I know

706
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:30.320
I'm making a broad statement, but
I think that's pretty much the rule.

707
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.199
You know. It's even these guys
that you know come to games and they've

708
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.119
got all the gear and elbow pads
and all that stuff. You go,

709
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:44.239
dude, man, no, wait, wait, we got five minutes.

710
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:46.480
You I can talk about this.
This is your this is your version,

711
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:52.360
and that's what I'm telling you.
Play good blah blah blah. But I'm

712
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:57.480
talking about serious sports. To go
play you go play softball, to go

713
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.960
play soul pitch softball. You know, a pair of gym shorts and a

714
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.760
T shirt and some cleats and some
short socks. It is perfectly fast.

715
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.039
And that falls right into what I
talk about, where you can have these

716
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:12.119
dudes and we know these dudes that
dressed like that that are unbelievably good because

717
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:15.599
you're natural good athletes and they dressed
like that. No, but what I'm

718
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:17.599
talking about, Steven's like you're on
a high school baseball team or you're on

719
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:22.320
a college football team or whatever,
that you gotta wear your seeing some pretty

720
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:27.079
good dudes in uniforms, pretty bad
dudes and uniforms that look pretty good that

721
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.119
were horrible. That's that's think they
might be good because they wear their uniforms.

722
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.440
You're this is you've heard this argument
before. We right, Oh he

723
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.119
looks good giving off the bus and
then he can't even get to play.

724
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.400
You can't play, No, dude, I want somebody who's okay, but

725
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.760
if I if I can't play,
I'd rather look good. You can't play

726
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:51.320
then look bad, and not being
able to play that makes you even look

727
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:59.840
worse. Yeah. God, the
guy looks good but he can't play uniform?

728
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:04.960
God is he bad? Goddy looks
bad at that baseball uniform and he's

729
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:10.360
bad. That's okay, that makes
sense, right, yea, oh God,

730
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:14.840
Steve, he slowly, You're not. I am not. I'm still

731
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.039
I'm a firm believer. Look good, play good, look good, play

732
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.880
good. But when it comes to
so pitched softball, it doesn't matter.

733
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:22.920
No, That's kind of where I
went with it, because we had uniforms,

734
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.000
we had dudes. Right. Well, then maybe that's where we didn't,

735
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.039
Clara yacause when I'm talking about looking
good and playing good, I'm talking

736
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:35.559
about you know, my baseball team
when I was coaching, um my high

737
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.679
school baseball. Yeah, I made
them wear their uniforms correctly. Yeah,

738
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:45.920
I get, I get. That's
what I'm saying. Good good, Well,

739
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.719
some of the guys were good.
But like I know, my son

740
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.039
Adam wanted to wear his uniform right
right, and he did, and he

741
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.480
looked, he looked at him.
He was good. Okay, but the

742
00:48:55.559 --> 00:49:00.800
rest of us suck. But and
the coaches sucked. But that's what I'm

743
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:02.639
talking about. When you're in an
organized thing like that, to wear your

744
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:06.639
uniform, right, that's that's different. That's what I'm talking that's different because

745
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:09.880
everybody I'm talking about you pick up
basketball, you know, slow pitch softball,

746
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:13.880
you know, you're out there playing
flag football where whatever you're gonna wear.

747
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.199
But I'm talking about when you're on
a team where everybody's got to wear

748
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.960
a uniform, right, where your
uniform, right, That's what I'm talking

749
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.400
I get it. I get it. So just did you watch the Baseball

750
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:27.719
I'll Star game? No? Probably
not, Okay, they had issues with

751
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:30.920
the uniforms. They kind of we're
not stylish one. It didn't look great.

752
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:36.079
Yeah, we're used to explain it
correctly. They normally in an all

753
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:38.880
Star game in Baseball I'll Star game, Major Baseball, the guys wear their

754
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:42.960
team uniforms. Right. Well,
they put these damn softball uniforms on them

755
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.440
this last this this game, right, and the and the and the National

756
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:51.280
leagu uniforms particularly bad. It was
like a like a dark awkwa top with

757
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.679
black pants. They looked like a
te ball teams. Okay, that's that's

758
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.159
the problem. I had. Both
sides looked and the other side had a

759
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:01.800
teal top but with white pants.
And part of it maybe stuck with me

760
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:10.679
because our my son's team when he
was seven, we were teal with black

761
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:14.800
pants. And that's why it reminded
me of that team. Remind me of

762
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:19.159
our coach's pitch or coach pitch team
when he was eight years old or seven

763
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.760
years old. And the and these
major League All Stars are wearing this damn

764
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:24.320
uniform in the All Star Why did
they switch from the I don't know.

765
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.719
I don't know. You'd probably to
sell the jerseys to be able to sell

766
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:31.719
jersey. Go buy an All Star
Game jersey. Yeah right, stupid stop.

767
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:37.199
Yeah it wasn't pretty, they weren't, but guess what they played?

768
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.880
Well, yeah, it was still
a good game. It was still a

769
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:45.320
good game. So that's at least
we're qualifying or qualifying our argument about I'm

770
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.960
more of the recreational guy. Oh
do you look bad? But they're very

771
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:52.119
very good. I played against those
dudes. I was never talking about those

772
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:54.920
guys. And maybe that's maybe that's
why we've had the had the difference of

773
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:00.320
opinion. I was I was always
talking about you're on an organized game like

774
00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:05.840
a high school team, uh,
you know, college team whatever, where

775
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.280
your uniform? Correct? No,
I don't disagree with that. Fix that

776
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:14.199
one. We fix that one too. And there still having the blue blood

777
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.079
argument. No, no, no, well kind towards the middle of that,

778
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:20.559
you're coming by way on that one. Okay, So that's cool.

779
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:22.280
A good week this week, we're
