Yeah with that with traffic, but yeah, yeah, you're starting 20 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.680 to see. I mean, well you start to cyclists all the time, 21 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.239 but now you know they're they're going to be increasing over the next week. 22 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.760 And sure, I take it you will not be participating. I'm not you 23 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.680 know. I just got a quarters and shot in my knee. So that's 24 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.519 my good excuse, so till seven and he feels good though, tell seven 25 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.599 what you win? Well, well, I'm sure he hasn't seen the movie 26 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.959 I get you know, got that that you know? No, no, 27 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.439 no, I'm talking about your bike ride. Oh last I was two years 28 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.519 ago. So he did it two years ago. I did only twenty eight 29 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.879 miles. Let's put perspective. So in like in March April, I trained, 30 00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:59.879 he said, okay, hey, i'll do it. I'll do it. 31 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.840 I'll do it, and he trained, and then I did. I 32 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.200 trained, but then I ran it and and TJ did not tell me that 33 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.560 the ride was going to be uphill all the way because we came from the 34 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.759 northwest side. And what you don't realize is because if you know that the 35 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:20.560 Santa Cruz River flows north when it flows that that's downhill. So coming back 36 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.919 this way, obviously it was hard. It was uphill the whole way. 37 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.120 Yeah, So I was I was spent. I did it. Was the 38 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.840 twenty eight mile ride. Got to the big party over there with all the 39 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.719 tents and the food, and and barfed once there. And then instead of 40 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.039 you know, partaking in the party and eating stuff, went home and then 41 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.879 we got in the car and had to I had to go get my car 42 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.400 and I barfed again in front of the Fox Theater. Twenty eight miles. 43 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.000 I'll do that to you. But I had trained, I had done that, 44 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.800 I had gone in that distance, but it was the uphill. But 45 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.240 it was the uphill, yeah, because I've done that. I've done that, 46 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.400 like trek, I did a little I did a triathlon last year. 47 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.719 Yeah, And going out was easy, right coming back going on uphill and 48 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.039 sometimes you're into the wind. Yeah. And when you do it, when 49 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.560 you do a loop right part of it, you know, if there's an 50 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.560 uphill, there's a downhill on the other side, right. But this wasn't 51 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.199 a loop. It was a straight shot from Marana down to here, or 52 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.479 I should say up to here right. And and the last part of it 53 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.520 was the worst because we went over here off of Speedway and Greasewood and went 54 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.680 up Greasewood which is very uphill over there behind Tuma Mank Hill, and it 55 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.360 was just the end killed me. But I made it. There you go, 56 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.639 you biking this year? No? I worked for him, I work 57 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.719 for What does that mean? Doesn't mean that means you can't. It means 58 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:44.719 you can. I can't. I'm sure they I'm sure they're I'm sure they 59 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.080 could let you. No, I'm too busy. I think Jay and I 60 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.280 will. We'll find it out and we'll make sure you can bike. Here's 61 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.159 the thing, And don't tell t J. That was the last time I 62 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.439 was on my bike. I hung it up and I haven't been on it 63 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.520 for two years. I keep saying I'm going to and I keep not. 64 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.080 But I gotta work out my knee issues, which are getting better. Cortizon 65 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:11.080 shot yesterday feels good. It doesn't hurt, It doesn't hurt anymore. So, 66 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.520 so mister, remind me, who's the second hour. So funny. 67 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.759 Hope Pisey, the goalie at Arizona, record breaking goalie, set a set 68 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.600 an Arizona record for most saves, most career saves, and it's like fifth 69 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.519 or sixth in the Pac twelve in career saves. Hope Pisey, who I 70 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.079 met as a little rug rat when her mom was a pe teacher at Saint 71 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.759 Gregory High School. So her, Hope and her little sister would be running 72 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.360 around the gym from time to time. And I'm a serious rug rats. 73 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.360 I've heard some people say Hiszy. It's not Hopey Hi, it's Heizy. 74 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.519 And her her dad, Jason is is the baseball coach at CDO just won 75 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:56.759 a state championship. And the mom also very you know, athletic and stuff. 76 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.759 So it's not surprising that Hope is a you know, high end college 77 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.920 app right. Okay, So it's Wednesday, a couple of days the duke, 78 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.879 three days to Colorado Big sports weekend, and a reminder, no show 79 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.920 here on Friday.

So we're 83 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.000 just gonna do the show, him and I. But we'll get We've already 84 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.439 lined up Brian Holl, the beat writer for for the Boulder Daily Camera. 85 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.079 He's become pretty popular. Yeah, he's He's had a busy year, I'm 86 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.600 sure. So Brian's gonna come in here and talk to us, give us 87 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.120 a preview of the game. And I'm trying to line up another another worthy 88 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.800 guest who can also talk about talk about the football game. If not, 89 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.199 we'll try and get somebody can talk basketball with it. So, but it'll 90 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.000 be Kevin and I doing the show tomorrow. And then then I said, 91 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.079 I said, we're both gone on Friday. I'll be in Vegas for my 92 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.199 annual trip that I do this time of the year.

Where you're staying, we started 104 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.480 a place called the Alara. It's a Hilton Grand vacation right next to Planet 105 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.959 Hollywood. So it's it's in that mall with playing in Hollywood. Fancy fancy 106 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.199 place, four bedroom suite with a bunch of people in that. I haven't 107 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.519 done Vegas like that, so yeah, it's it's very cool. We have 108 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.480 a great time. It's a place that we stay is unbelievable, and so 109 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.480 we'll we'll stay there. We spend Saturday at the west Gate reading college football 110 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.839 all day and I'm talking. We get there at seven in the morning. 111 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.319 We leave after the last game is over. Have you been to the new 112 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.399 place in downtown called the the outdoor place. Yeah. Yeah, no, 113 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.360 I've been there. My son's been there. He said, it's pretty cool, 114 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.199 pretty but it's very expensive to go there. Yeah. They got like, 115 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.040 uh, you know, two lounge chairs for like five hundred dollars or 116 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.040 something like that. You don't have to pay a true place, No, 117 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.759 No, certain places you do have. Certain places like Caesars, you have 118 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.399 to place. The place we go to, we we find a table near 119 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.800 the near the deli and sit there all day. And we get there like 120 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.240 said, seven in the morning so that we get the seats at the tables 121 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.240 that we want, and then we usually leave after the last game is over. 122 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.439 Sometimes that's been a Hawaii game that started at like eight o'clock, nine 123 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.759 o'clock local time, and we're there till the to the bitter end. Just 124 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.560 just fade yourself this weekend. Yeah, yeah, it's it gets harder every 125 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.279 year. It gets hard not no doubt, it gets harder every single year. 126 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.800 But we have a blast. We just sit there and back college football 127 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.879 games all day. Nice not going to the sphere. We'll check it out. 128 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.720 Last time, you know, we were there last year. They were 129 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.759 still building. Still I sat construction, but I'm interested to see what that 130 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.960 looks like. It's right near there. How much it costs? How much 131 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.200 does it cost to get your message on there for a day? Oh, 132 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.200 I want something, it's uh, it's it's definitely a close to a million. 133 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.320 It's something you want to be there for four hours? Whatever it is. 134 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.399 Yeah, we'll see it, we'll see it. We'll see in the 135 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.240 well. I don't know if I'm going everyone who goes plays in Vegas. 136 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:58.080 I know the Vegas talk about that. The people that I'm talking to that 137 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.440 that's what everybody's got their fingers crossed for the Vegas Bowl, the Vegas Bowl, 138 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.240 because then now they can go over there, catch a basketball game, 139 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.360 catch a football game, and it's a great sports day. They were talking 140 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.639 about being kind of the same as thinking back to that that day when the 141 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.000 New Mexico Bowl and then Florida was here for that you know top ten game. 142 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.440 That was you know, a crazy game. So you know, two 143 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.399 games like that in one day, and there were some people who did both. 144 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.120 So a lot of people talking about, you know, being able to 145 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.240 go see something like that where you go to the you go to the basketball 146 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.759 game, games over you head straight over to the football stadium and watch Arizona 147 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.320 play in Las Vegas play that's what people are rooting for. Well, I 148 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.799 mean you should we should be rooting for the Alimo Bowl because that means we'd 149 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.320 won more games, right realistically, or the Holiday Bowl, but Vegas Bowl 150 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.000 would be would be pretty sweet. Well, you know when Arizona went to 151 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.159 the Vegas Bowl again, the first bowl that Arizona had gone to since you 152 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.279 know, the Dick Tomy years, and it was I mean it was turned 153 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.720 out, the lights and tuson we all went. It had snowed that weekend 154 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.679 in Vegas, which was crazy. That's nuts. It was nuts and it 155 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.919 was freezing. But it was a great game they played by u Ronk was 156 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.559 on that team and it was a great game and it was a lot of 157 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.879 fun and we had a blast. And again, you know when if you're 158 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.080 asking me, there's three things if you could put in one place that I'd 159 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:22.720 do in a heartbeat, you know, Vegas football, basketball, there you 160 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.919 go. And if you can do all all of those all at once, 161 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.039 man, that is the coolest thing. Six hundred and fifty thousand for day 162 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.759 one day spot. It's pretty nuts. Well, and they're getting crushed financially 163 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.039 really, because are just talking about we were talking about that before this year. 164 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.240 Yeah, they just lost. They're losing money like crazy. They spent 165 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:50.519 spent two billion to be build a billion over budget and and they're losing revenue 166 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.960 like crazy. The lost one hundred and seventeen million that said this year, 167 00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:00.919 and I wonder why shares are down to buck in the quarter. Yeah, 168 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.240 well, I don't change things like that. So tend they tend to take 169 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.080 time to get a foot and when you have billions and billions, let's think 170 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.639 about all the money the DraftKings lost over the first couple of year. Yeah. 171 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.639 True, And Dolan's not going to stop spending money on that thing because 172 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.200 it's it is really cool. The tickets are probably more expensive than they should 173 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.200 be. And well when you when you go double, when you go a 174 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.440 billion dollars over your budget, that's it's it's yeah exactly. But yeah, 175 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.039 Dolan's not going to stop spending money into it. And they'll get a basketball 176 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.639 team within the next five years and it'll be more and more. Yeah, 177 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.320 yeah, we'll see. Okay, Uh, we have the game on Saturday, 178 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:46.200 a big game, which is a bigger game. Well, and that's 179 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.519 a tough call, Steve. That's a tough call because let's say there's one 180 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:58.399 that does something really stupid and they go beat Duke. That that that shine 181 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.440 will last the rest of the season and they'll begin the no matter what happens 182 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:01.960 the rest of the year. Say, yeah, but we beat Duke. 183 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.360 It's that kind of game, though, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, 184 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.639 though, Yeah, happen. No, they could come right on. 185 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.360 Yeah, but like it's Sandy that's a fan. Yeah, but we beat 186 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.679 Duke. Yeah, yeah, I know we lost the Michigan State and they 187 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.799 suck, but we beat Duke at their place. I guess it depends to 188 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.399 like what Duke does the rest of the year. Two Yeah, if they 189 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.799 kind of I mean they probably won't. Similarly to the Michigan State, they 190 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.840 was the first game. Okay, it's a big game. It's a big 191 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.679 game. Second game. But I've said this Jay, and I don't know 192 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.279 if it's true or not. I just in my opinion, Saturday's game is 193 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:48.879 the biggest game in the last nine years. Remember the circumstances. Yeah, 194 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.600 yeah, since twenty fourteen, since the A game of twenty fourteen, right 195 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.519 when they when they won that game to win. The Pack club sound rights 196 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.919 so much, you know, so much because of the future, so much 197 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.960 at Steak, a lot of things, even though we didn't even know what's 198 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.080 at Steak. It's just kind of like the the ride has been so good. 199 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.039 White screw it up. Yeah, first first game away from home in 200 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:18.039 three weeks. Yeah, Colorado. The hype is obviously in the game. 201 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.759 It's more it's one more win on the way to ten. Yeah, just 202 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.559 that you were here yesterday. I did talk about it Monday. Monday, 203 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:35.320 we looked at it. That includes the team we don't know who is playing. 204 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.360 So got me. I'm having lunch with my brother and our Wednesday crowd, 205 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.080 and I said, you know, I said that, I said on 206 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.879 Monday that I called ten wins for Arizona. Then my brother Rick goes, 207 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.440 he goes, you know, when I call ten wins, you you tell 208 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.679 me I'm an idiot and I'm stupid and i don't know what I'm doing, 209 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.840 and I'm over I'm over Homer. Rick. The difference is when you call 210 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.399 ten, it's before the season even started. In fact, I think you 211 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.840 called ten. And one of Kevin Sumlin's years, I said I called ten 212 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:13.120 after they already had six. Yeah, you can't cry wolf. We shot 213 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.600 his thing down really fast. It's pretty funny. Well, I know the 214 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.440 answer to this. But you would rather have the football team win. Yeah, 215 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.919 the basketball Well, see, if the basketball team loses, it's not 216 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.919 it's not the end of the world, right exactly. They in fact, 217 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.559 they're supposed to lose. They should lose. If they played them well to 218 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.120 the wire, that's just as good. They should lose. What you don't 219 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.360 want for them to get over there and get blown up by twenty ers. 220 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.600 No, yeah, you don't want that. But if it's a game and 221 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.480 they lose the game, so what Yeah, but the thing is, uh, 222 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:46.360 the Semi Arizona historically plays in November. Unbelievable, this game, they 223 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.639 win this game. I've seen it. I've seen it the four years i've 224 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.919 been here, early on. Yeah, Michigan State, just a few years. 225 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.039 I won't tell you what happens so March. Yeah, exactly, we 226 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.080 know.

Yeah, so 323 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.319 you know, what are there? Well, I guess I'm trying to figure 324 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.519 out the right way to ask this that you can tell as you go along, 325 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.440 what are the things that you're learning, you know that help you improve 326 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.599 the improve the event?

What do 327 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:21.160 you learn each year as you as you get ready for the next one. 328 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.440 But one of the things is to be a good listener and find out the 329 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.440 things that people really like or are things that people really didn't like? You 330 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.440 know, can we tweak some of those things that we can improve upon and 331 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.200 really accentuate the things that we're doing doing well. And so you know, 332 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:41.920 hearing from people in the off season and going on rides with people, you 333 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.079 know, just bumping into them over a coffee or a beer, and you 334 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.039 know, just hearing from different people just say Hey, I really like this 335 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.079 about ELI to War, but I wish you would think about this. You 336 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.960 know, we've been able to implement some of those items that can improve the 337 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.880 event, but you know, overall, it's a pretty good event. Didn't 338 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.160 need that much tweaking, so a lot of the same good riding, good 339 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:11.720 fun, and good al tour. So obviously earlier this year, USA Today 340 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.400 named El Tour the Tucson the best bike ride, best bike ride in the 341 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.799 country. How did that help, bust, How did it help boost your 342 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.319 attendance this year? Well, we're seeing record numbers this year, and I 343 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.599 don't know if it's just because of that, but a lot more people throughout 344 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.640 throughout the country and throughout the world know about El Tour to Tucson just by 345 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:40.079 being named that, you know, number one, you know, road cycling 346 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.960 event in the entire country. So I think a few people were introduced to 347 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.160 El Tour, took a look at it and say, hey, this looks 348 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.119 like a lot of fun. We're looking at nine thousand cyclists, which we 349 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.240 haven't seen you know, anywhere close to that lately. So we had seventy 350 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:59.279 five hundred last year. That was up from you know, the year before. 351 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.079 That. So we we've steadily been going up one thousand, fifteen hundred 352 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.880 each year for the last couple of years. Wow, So what's the number 353 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.599 this year? Yeah, we're gonna have nine thousand people on bikes, plus 354 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.400 another probably seven hundred and fifty people that'll be running in the five k So 355 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.799 that's about, you know, close to ten thousand active participants in downtown Tucson 356 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.480 that day. That's a lot of people to look out for. Man, 357 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.279 that's for sure, right, that sure is right, And there's gonna be 358 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:37.079 a lot We had a meeting today, Tell the listeners how many enforcement officers 359 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.119 and all that, all the good stuff, all the other numbers. Well, 360 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.680 yeah, well, when it's all told, we probably got four hundred 361 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.000 law enforcement officers from City Tucson, Pema County Sheriffs, City of South Tucson, 362 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.799 Satarita, I mean, you name it. All those municipalities have their 363 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.119 officers out working that day. It's gonna be a busy day in Tucson. 364 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.359 Got a little football game going on later that day as well. So there's 365 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.400 gonna be a lot a lot of people that are having some fun in too 366 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.799 soon that day. Yeah, no kidding. So so TJ when you talked 367 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.480 about, you know, different things that you're doing. Are there a couple 368 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.160 of new things that we can expect to see this year that you know, 369 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.880 are new ideas or things you've been thinking about doing for a while. You 370 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:23.440 know. The we added the run that used to be part of L Tour 371 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:29.720 that used to do kind of an adventure run or something along that line many 372 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.799 years ago. But since we've got all these law enforcement officers already in place, 373 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.359 and we've already got all the barricades in place, why not, you 374 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.279 know, slip a five k run walk in between there. And so we 375 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.799 partnered with Run Tucson with Randy A. Setti, who's kind of like the 376 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.079 guru. He's kind of like I guess the they're like the L Tour running 377 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:55.440 in this area. So they've they're putting together the five k course and probably 378 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.160 about seven hundred and fifty people will be involved in that. And don't forget 379 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:04.359 the venue. Well, yeah, we're on the newly renovated TCC side. 380 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.759 Now that they're completely done with the West side, I'll have a new look. 381 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.799 We're back in the big X Hall. It used to be we would 382 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.599 fill up two thirds of the X Hall we actually take the entire X Hall. 383 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.640 We've already sold out the expo, so people can come even if they're 384 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:23.680 not riding El Tour. They can come by the two convention Center and the 385 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.319 main X Hall and take a look at all the neat fund and and excitement, 386 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.480 lots of good food, some good live bands, and then of course 387 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.200 the Dragoon beer garden, so all lots of fun. So do you guys, 388 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.720 do you guys track, for instance, like how many first time riders 389 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.119 you have or maybe you know new you know ages, those kinds of things. 390 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:48.880 What do you track as far as that goes in And I'd be interested 391 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.759 to know how many new people you get each year? Sure, yeah, 392 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.279 for sure, it's it's over thirty five percent brand new to l Tour, 393 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.359 and you know that's a big number each and every year. So if you 394 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.559 think about that, it's probably you know, thirty five hundred people that have 395 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.880 never been to El Torta tuos on are coming out this year. And the 396 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:17.119 number of our nonprofits alone, we're close to seventy nonprofits that have a team, 397 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.359 and most of them are new riders that are just getting introduced to the 398 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:25.000 sport. So you know, definitely tracking all that stuff. Those people, 399 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.359 we want them to have a good time, go back home, tell a 400 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:32.599 few friends, and bring some friends for next year. In fact, Jay, 401 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.279 we have a cyclist from every state. Oh that's cool, every state 402 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.920 in a few countries. Yeah, that sounds very cool. Absolutely, yeah, 403 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.920 yeah, No, it's real busy right now. What about the other 404 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.319 rides. The smaller rides are still the Fun Ride, and they're the thirty 405 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:53.839 two and you're able to have electric bikes in that one. Yeah, So 406 00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.680 the Fun Ride is going to be basically one or three miles. It's mainly 407 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.599 for like elementary age. We just gave away a lot of bikes, if 408 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:07.039 you haven't heard, we gave away three thousand bikes through Boys and Girls clubs 409 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.039 and serve our City and David Mouth and Air Force Base. So three thousand 410 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.839 new bikes are out there with young kids that are elementary age kids and some 411 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.960 middle school kids. So we might see a big bump in that Fun Ride. 412 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.000 And then we also have the thirty two mile, which has picked up 413 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.079 a lot of those new nonprofits that are coming on a lot of first time 414 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.839 riders, people like I'm hoping that Jay will be out on the bike again 415 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.799 for that thirty two mile, and then of course the longer distance the one 416 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.839 hundred k or the sixty three mile and the one hundred and two mile, 417 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.160 which is considered a century ride. And so we'll probably have over three thousand 418 00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:48.400 people in both the larger distance rides. And that's just an incredible amount of 419 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.519 cyclists out there. And why it sound like a downloads but can this ever 420 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.759 get too big? I mean, is there a point where you might have 421 00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.440 to just say, Okay, that's as many as we can take because of 422 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.880 you know, law enforcement and all that other stuff that goes into doing this. 423 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.880 I mean, how long can or how big can this get? And 424 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.400 you guys would comfortably be able to do this? Yeah? I think if 425 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.599 it was just one big ride, it would definitely have a have its limitations. 426 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.720 But since we kind of break them up into the three different distances, 427 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.200 it naturally breaks up that crowd. Is it a huge crowd? Absolutely, 428 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.759 And we may take a look at it and evaluate and say, hey, 429 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.440 you know what our number should be about x? And you know, we 430 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.799 our most important thing is can we safely have people come and do the ride 431 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.119 and get home back to their loved one safe? You know, that's the 432 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.519 most important thing, and if they can have fun along the way, so 433 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.559 be it. Yeah, yeah, no, that'd be cool. I mean, 434 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.839 you know, because it's like I mean again, this is one of 435 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:49.720 two son's signatory events. You know, every year, there's a few things 436 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.720 that we do in this town and have done for a very long time, 437 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.359 and you know this is at the top of the list when you think about 438 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.640 an annual event that happens. Oh well, well, you know, I 439 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.039 mean, I'm sitting here today and it's what about eighty degrees out today, 440 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.680 and I was talking to my daughters in school in Maine and it's already snowed 441 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.279 on her. So you know, people want to come ride their bikes where 442 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.279 it's a you know, fun and exciting place. We've got the greatest food 443 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.480 in the world here, We've got incredible weather, just delightful people to be 444 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.279 around. Why wouldn't you want to get out of a place like Canada or 445 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:29.319 Wisconsin and come down here and ride your bike. So I just think, 446 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.200 you know, the Lord grows and each and every year people go back and 447 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:36.440 say, you know what, that was a lot of fun, And then 448 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.440 when they get back to there, they have to scrape the snow off their 449 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:44.640 car at the airport in Milwaukee. They realized, Hey, that toucson Rae 450 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.079 was a lot of fun. I'm going to ask you about the prologue. 451 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.559 I think that's it's full, right, it's obviously full. But will they 452 00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.960 were people like you and me and anybody out there be able to see some 453 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:03.680 big timing big timers just walk around. Oh sure, We're gonna have about 454 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.519 eight eight to ten different pros from from all over the world. We've got 455 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.799 George Hinkappi, Christian van Devel, Bob Roll, Jens Voight who's coming over 456 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:17.880 from from Germany, Mari Holding, Kristin Armstrong, Rassam Bahati, and Bobby 457 00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:22.119 Julick. Those people have been, I mean literally some of the best cyclists 458 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.880 in the world over time. Kristin Armstrong is the most decorated female cyclist of 459 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.799 all time. So they're gonna be rubbing shoulders, I mean at the start 460 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.960 line you can certainly talk to them. They're gonna stop at rest stomps. 461 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.319 But we're also gonna have an autograph session on Friday at five o'clock where if 462 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.400 you want to come in and meet any of them, take their photo with 463 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.200 them and get an our graph. Uh, you've got an opportunity on Friday 464 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.880 afternoon at five o'clock at the TCC. All right, well this you know 465 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.039 again, we know it's always gonna be a great event that's in good hands 466 00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.680 and street that's free, right and free if you don't write right and and 467 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.319 but you know, just to be a part of our tour. I'm look, 468 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.720 I'm still waiting for a game time for Saturday. So I don't know, 469 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.039 but you know, I honestly, I mean, I did it two 470 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.880 years ago. I had a blast, even though you know, I had 471 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.279 had a rough goal when the race was over, but you know, I 472 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.279 still probably I have my I have my metal hanging above my desk, and 473 00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:21.799 I've got my my number in the whole bit and it was a proud moment 474 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.480 for me to finish that. So I think there's probably people like me who 475 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:30.319 you know, not not serious bike cradits, but who it's an accomplishment for 476 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.160 them, And I think that's probably one of the lures for people like, 477 00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.839 you know, an average person to go in and do this. I mean 478 00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.839 no doubt about it. You can line up next to a yends void who's 479 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.799 you know, one of the most accomplished cyclists of all time, and you 480 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:49.400 can literally be on the other end of the spectrum the worst cyclists in the 481 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.559 world, and there's a place for you in el toor de Tuccon. Now 482 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.119 I'm figuring Jay, you're probably towards the worst cyclist in the world on that 483 00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:59.839 spectrum. I'm very close to it. There's there's always a place for you 484 00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:04.519 to come back and and remember the pain that you went through that day exactly 485 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.000 and get another medal to pair up with the one on your desk. Yes, 486 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.359 okay, yeah, tejer, You're not far off. There was one 487 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.160 one ride that I did. It wasn't Eltro, but it was another one 488 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.079 and I finished third to the last, so yes, I'm right there and 489 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:20.519 the hey, all right, but I finished it there you go. Yeah, 490 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.240 Well, so can you still register or is it over? No, 491 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:29.599 you can still register. Prices go up drastically.

I think. Yeah, 605 00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:13.880 I would say five or six, but I'm taken. I'm taking the 606 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:15.440 points in the U of A for sure. What if it's three or four? 607 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.840 Four? Maybe not three but four. Oh, I got a question 608 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.679 for you, Jay, I watched it on my phone.

But I got a question 611 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:42.440 about the women's the men's basketball the other day. I was really confused because 612 00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.639 we have a player named Lewis, guy who didn't play, But do we 613 00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:51.599 have a girl professional that practices too? But they had her for the Lewis 614 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:57.760 score scoring a woman named Lewis, a professional thirty years old? So what 615 00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.239 was a woman's not allowed to play? Especial that she was a pro? 616 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:06.000 Right? kJ? Lewis is the player for Arizona. Yeah, kJ, 617 00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.159 Yeah, But what they had on this actual score with borrowing all the other 618 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:15.480 people, they had a woman for under Lewis. Maybe she's a practice player 619 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:21.239 for thirty year old practice with three names in the box score. Yeah. 620 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.159 The one on the phone that I'm just telling you is the word. There's 621 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:25.719 no way that's right. No, no, no, and I don't know 622 00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:30.000 how that would have happened, but it did. I'm saying. I looked 623 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.960 at Lewis and it had the woman came up and it was a three name 624 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.440 Lewis Professional. Oh I see, okay, that might yeah, that might 625 00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:45.119 be an ESPN thing because it's was it website or something. It was totally 626 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.119 Yeah, it was just me looking up the game, a game just on 627 00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.320 the phone, I mean on Google. Yeah, okay, I see what 628 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.679 you're saying. No, and I follow it the score. I just follow 629 00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.079 the score to see how much blowing them out by ye who knows what the 630 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.760 heck that was. It was weird. I go, there's no way a 631 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.960 woman, whether she's you know, could play, even though she bet she 632 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:12.840 could play with the guys. She's five point eleven. I bet she could 633 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.320 play. She's a former professional. Hey, Howard, A quick question. 634 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:17.639 So last time we saw you, when you were at the card shop, 635 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.079 did you buy anything? Yeah? Oh, actually you just bought supplies there. 636 00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.320 It's funny thing. I just went to the post suffice the first time 637 00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:31.480 in twenty years. I put in twenty three cards to be graded, mostly 638 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:37.239 basketball. Twenty three. You know how much money just the fee to grade 639 00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.400 them is for those twenty three cards, No, four hundred and twenty five 640 00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:45.079 dollars, that doesn't count the insurance when they send it back, and then 641 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.039 the shipping four hundred and twenty five degrade twenty three cards? So what are 642 00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.280 you think it's going to be? What are you hoping for? What's give 643 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.079 me a number one? Oh? Oh? The cards? The cards are 644 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:57.400 going to be worth four thousand, no matter what. Okay, that's a 645 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.760 low bit, that's a minimum. That's it's all. If someone wants to 646 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.039 buy him. Do you know that eighty six eighty seven Jordan is going for 647 00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:09.079 two hundred thousand?

It looks like it just popped 658 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:50.119 up because it's the only Friday game that there's a line for on DraftKings, 659 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:53.320 and it's Arizona by five with I mean Duke by five with a with an 660 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:58.880 over under one and a half. It's because neither of us are playing until 661 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.840 then. That's probably why. Yeah, it could be could be five five 662 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.280 I would take I think I'll take five, that's right about the number. 663 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.239 And then i'd go over one fifty two. I think, so yeah, 664 00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.480 oh yeah, because there's going to score eighty, but score we win or 665 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.360 lose. Arizona scoring eighty, we'll see. What would you say under I 666 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:25.079 just think Duke runs. I'm just saying. I just think it'll be eighties, 667 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.599 a lot of points for you. They to score in what will be 668 00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:32.039 the loudest, craziest atmosphere that all those guys have played in. I think 669 00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.239 I think the I think the first twelve minutes of the game will be a 670 00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.239 very feel out. But but you know what, I'm going to say that 671 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:45.840 this is a group of guys that playing there is going to get them more 672 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.800 juiced instead of intimidated. And this is the kind of game that they came 673 00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:52.639 here to play. Sure they're good, but they're good dudes. They're good 674 00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.840 player and it's not March. So yeah, Will, it's funny. It's 675 00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:59.320 funny. I think about this all the time. You know, here we 676 00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:02.519 are talking about other people's lives and how they deal with stress. They don't. 677 00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:06.559 We don't have a clue how they'll react to that. I know exactly 678 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:09.320 how they're going to react to it. Steve, I don't think so there 679 00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:13.559 he's the guy. He's at the putt. He's gonna put He can't handle 680 00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.599 it. Shut up our job though, that's our job. That's why half 681 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:21.480 of them don't know what they're talking about. Hey, what do you I 682 00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.280 went to a cheeseburger. You know that we can't run a thousand miles. 683 00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.159 That one fifty two does seem very low. That's me, he does. 684 00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.920 Yeah, it's seventy five one hundred dollars on that. I think there's a 685 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.559 reason you haven't put one hundred dollars. Well, my my unit changes when 686 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:38.199 I go to Vegas. Oh that's right. Your wife said a different time 687 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:42.599 zone, but no, she'll be there. She's doing well. You can 688 00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:44.760 put it one hundred dollars, you know. I'm not putting one hundred dollars. 689 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:46.039 I don't bet one hundred dollars. The unit should change and you go 690 00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:49.840 to Vegas, the unit does change. But see my unit, My unit 691 00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:52.559 here is ten bucks right now. No, yeah, it's every bet. 692 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.039 I make its ten bucks because it's okay. I'm just trying to have fun 693 00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:59.920 exactly over there, I'm trying to win. Yeah, I want to trying 694 00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:04.679 to sweat. I feel it more. My heart gets pounding, I get 695 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:08.920 all sweaty. Next step, I think, I think to go back to 696 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:13.760 that number. If you have A wins the game, I think it's it's 697 00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:16.920 an over. Yeah, but people into overtime too. Sure, but if 698 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:20.880 you have a, if you have A struggles hence they won't win the game. 699 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:22.440 I don't know if they get to that that number, I don't think 700 00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:27.760 there's a team in the country that can keep them under eighty. Is that? 701 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.280 Is that like a ceiling thing or is that? I think every night, 702 00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.440 the way they play, they're going to score that pretty much every game. 703 00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:38.000 Well, starle is gonna make the fight the thing and and the things 704 00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:42.199 do do gruns runs. Yeah, it's true, you know, true, 705 00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.760 you know it's good. I think both teams go over eighty. There's just 706 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:53.719 I know the cover. Yeah, one of them get the eighty one of 707 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:59.639 them on a little gifts there. We'll see I think ranked early games or 708 00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.280 they're not gonna nobody's gonna be nervous about this game. They're all gonna they're 709 00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.320 all gonna have a blast. Took off already, they went a day early. 710 00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:13.519 Yeah, I'm looking forward to to seeing the game. I'm just I 711 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:15.400 just want to see those two uniforms on the courting. Yeah, you know, 712 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:19.719 you know. At the same time, it's been a long time and 713 00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.920 I can't wait for them to come and do it here. That's one that 714 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:27.679 I mean. I hope that game is like on a Saturday at two o'clock 715 00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:32.039 in the afternoon, CBS or eight, you know, or ABC or somebody 716 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.960 is here game day. I hope it's that kind of a game here, 717 00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.599 you know, next year, and it's not on a Friday night or Thursday 718 00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:44.519 or something like that, that it's a Saturday game, you know, with 719 00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.199 all the hype and hoopla that comes with that. When you walk into the 720 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:52.039 arena, then you can feel the buzz because there's a distinct buzz to games 721 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.280 like that, and especially when it's on you know, a Saturday, a 722 00:48:55.320 --> 00:49:01.119 Saturday afternoons and it's Duke. You can't say, especially you go to school 723 00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:06.000 in Arizona, whether it's a su wherever it is, you can't say many 724 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.039 times Duke came and play basketball, right, and especially it's you of a, 725 00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:13.519 it's Kale.

Listen to it all after the game? Yeah? No, 729 00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.800 she was good about it because we know the history, right the coach k 730 00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.880 and Newton wouldn't want to play each other on the home court. Kaki didn't 731 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.920 want to come here, and I wanted to play on a neutral court. 732 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:38.440 Yeah.
