00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.759
Streaming live. I mean iHeartRadio WIP. This is I on the Ball with

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:14.599
Steve Rovera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox
Sports fourteenth fifthday. Hey, welcome back

3
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.359
to our the ball here on Fox
Sports fourteen fifteen on Steve, he's Jay

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.800
and I think Jame's gonna do some
breaking news now. I've I've got to

5
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.079
train Alien on this. You've got
the breaking news there. Alien, turn

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.079
on the mic right there where the
music is, put it all the way

7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.039
up and he hit it. This
is on the Ball breaking news. All

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:39.000
right, we do have breaking news. Hey, big ruling, big big

9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.399
news on the NCAA transfer thing two
years something. Well, no, what's

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:50.079
what happened is, judges issued a
fourteen day temporary restraining order that prohibits the

11
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:55.799
NCUBA from enforcing its transfer rules,
meaning if it's transfer waivers, meaning if

12
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.320
you didn't get a waiver, if
you tried to transfer and didn't get a

13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.759
waiver, that would keep you from
having to sit out. Those guys can

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.120
play right now for fourteen days,
and if they playlet it sort of affect

15
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.200
mostly basketball, right so they can
play if at the end of the fourteen

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:19.920
days, the ruling is that the
transfer rule stands, then if they've played,

17
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.040
that doesn't count at all against their
eligibility. But the hope is that

18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.359
if he's you know, he's already
you know, ruled against the NC double

19
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.840
A on this, that he'll probably
you know that that the temporary straining it

20
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.599
will be made into a permanent injunction. So they're they're just basically saying,

21
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.159
you know, NC double A is
overstepping the legal rights of these kids by

22
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.400
saying you can't play if you transfer. Okay, I was gonna say,

23
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.439
you sounded a lot like a Charlie
Brown guy, Charlie dun injunctions and waivers

24
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.920
what I you know what I I
I just zeroed in on this for the

25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.239
last five minutes. I know the
whole thing. You know, did a

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.519
crash course on this, on this, on this way everything. But it's

27
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.039
a big The bigger deal is that, at first glance, a judge is

28
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:14.039
saying you can't. This is this
is you're violating these kids' rights by telling

29
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.000
them that they can't go play somewhere
else and play right away, which you

30
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.599
know, in a sense even makes
sense. Right. Nobody can tell you

31
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.199
that you can't quit a job and
go to another job. Sure, but

32
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.039
they can tell you, well,
I'm sure you've said non disclosure, right,

33
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.159
but they're not having these kids signed
you know, non compete or non

34
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.039
compete, right. You know,
you get your scholarship, and you get

35
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.120
your scholarship and and and maybe that's
what happens is they say, Okay,

36
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.919
if you want to play here,
you got to sign this that says if

37
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.879
you decide to leave, you're gonna
sit out of here somewhere. But if

38
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.039
some schools do it and some schools
don't, right, because it's that's gonna

39
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.479
go school by school. It's not
gonna be a law. So maybe they

40
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.240
do that, but for now it's
uh, you know, the transfer rule

41
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.479
is headed down the tubes like all
the other things. The bottom line,

42
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.840
Seam, I think is that you
know, students, these athletes are starting

43
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.960
to be looked at as employees of
these universities because they're bringing in a little

44
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.960
money. Sure, well, didn't
we talk about this a while back,

45
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.840
just recently that now you're looking into
the schools paying the kids, right,

46
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.680
which then, of course that would
change it because they would be employees,

47
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.319
right, will take right, And
that's what you know, and that's what

48
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.039
you know. The new president of
the NCAA propost throughout there and SA,

49
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.360
okay, we're headed down this road
anyway, So let's just have the schools

50
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.960
do this, and let's not you
know, have the schools paying, you

51
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.560
know, under this strange structure.
So anyways, all right, the super

52
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:47.919
Bowl for twenty twenty seven has been
awarded back in Los Angeles. So this

53
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.400
year, twenty twenty four is in
Vegas. Last year was in Phoenix,

54
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.919
right, this year twenty twenty four
is in Vegas, which it was fine.

55
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.759
Again. I heard the cener with
Charles Barkley. So Steve was talking

56
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.560
about how for twenty four years or
something like that, he's got a group

57
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.759
of guys in twelve guys we go
to Vegas every year for the super Bowl.

58
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.479
He said, I'm not going when
the super Bowl is because there's nothing

59
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.879
but a bunch of losers. He's
probably right, It's probably right. I

60
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.279
mean the crowd sure, not a
bunch of winners. Yeah. Well,

61
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.360
you know, I can't even imagine
what Vegas will be like, oh during

62
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.079
the super Bowl. Yeah well,
I mean it's crazy when there's no game.

63
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.879
There is there sure? No,
I mean you've been there for n

64
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.879
CUAA tournaments. Yeah, I was
sent there in the first time in ninety

65
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:42.079
six. I think it was when
the Super Bowls and Phoenix something like that.

66
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.079
I can't remember. Well, they
played it was in Phoenix, so

67
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.439
they sent me to Vegas. I
was coming back from Oregon on a trip,

68
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.279
so I stopped in Vegas to cover
the Super Bowl from there because it

69
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.079
was a local angle for Vegas and
that was cool. It was It was

70
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.000
crazy, you know, because it's
always crazy Vegas. Yeah, for Super

71
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.800
Bowl. Okay, it's probably the
Hi, you're on the air and I

72
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:08.120
on the ball. Hello. Hello, you're on the air. I'm on

73
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.600
the air. Yes, all right, I appreciate that. I needed to

74
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.600
ask you a question that my mind
can't fathom. They've been talking about this

75
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.160
football playoff scenario where they only have
the four teams and there's a lot of

76
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:29.839
disgruntled people, you know what I'm
talking about. Okay, Well, they're

77
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.319
talking about getting it down to six
or twelve teams. Well, how does

78
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.519
the math work out for that?
If you process of elimination, you're going

79
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.600
to have to have somebody sit out
a game unless you do with eighteen,

80
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.439
right, that's yeah, go ahead, the twelve team playoff that starts next

81
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:53.319
year. You're gonna have four first
round byes, so four conference champions who

82
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.920
are considered the highest rate. They're
still good like this year's right, They're

83
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.680
still going to do the rankings like
they did to determine who are the four

84
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.759
teams in the you know, in
the in the playoff. So the top

85
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.399
four teams in the rankings will all
get first round bys. So five will

86
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.480
play twelve, six will play eleven, So everybody else plays a first round

87
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.439
game and then those winners go play
to somebody who got a first round by.

88
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.959
I don't know why they didn't make
it a you know, sixteen or

89
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.160
sixteen team tournament, but they didn't. So it's twelve teams. Four teams

90
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.360
get a first round by. Well, you know, look at what's going

91
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.800
to do to the schedule for these
kids. I mean, I don't know,

92
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.519
I'd like to see it in my
mind. You guys tell me if

93
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.319
you think differently, But do eight
teams everybody plays once? Boom boom bum

94
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.120
you get down to the last two
teams and that's it. Yeah, well,

95
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.240
I'm sure that was a consideration,
and I wouldn't be surprised that they

96
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.839
go from twelve to sixteen at some
point. Yeah, they're not going to

97
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.560
go back to eight. And your
point of them caring about the kids,

98
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.279
they don't give a crap about the
kids. This is bringing in tons of

99
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.480
money, tons of money. Yeah, well, you know, maybe maybe

100
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.959
did the up the park then the
kid, And that's that's what's going on

101
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.480
right now. That's what they're you
know, the athletes are trying to get

102
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.879
that, they're trying to get you
know, a chunk of that. You're

103
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.560
too realistic. You're too realistic.
You make too much Sensele's bed trying to

104
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.680
work out the map. I'm thinking, did something wrong with me? Yeah?

105
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.680
Yeah, you're making too much sense. That's the problem is so much

106
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.360
doesn't make sense. Thank you for
the college, Thank you appreciate it.

107
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.279
But it's true. I mean,
come on, what's twelve. It's like,

108
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.319
when you're going to have three rounds
of playoffs, why not have every

109
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.439
sixteen? Right? Right? Yeah, of course. It's like they're thinking

110
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:38.360
about moving the sixty eight teams to
more teams? Right, Okay, when

111
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.639
are we going to stop this?
Yeah? It was good at sixty four?

112
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.680
Yeah, oh but we what about
sixty five? Well, he didn't

113
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.639
get in yeah, all right,
you're talking about your trip back to to

114
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.319
Vegas covering the Super Bowl. Yeah, so it was just, you know,

115
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.680
it was like, you know,
you think it was crazy people from

116
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.360
all over having fun, blah blah
blah. So that's kind of it,

117
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.079
that's kind of it. But he's
right, yeah, go there, it's

118
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:01.839
going to be crazy, it's gonna
be nuts. You know. They talked

119
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.480
about what it was like that first
weekend that they when they did the NBA

120
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.560
All Star Game there for the first
time, Yeah, and that it was

121
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.839
just nuts and not only nuts,
but it was in a lot of ways

122
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.920
dangerous. Oh. I'm sure there
were some people running around over there,

123
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.720
the shady side of the civilization.
I'll give you this. I've been to

124
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.199
a couple of them big boxing matches
at TMGYM. Oh yeah, a big

125
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.079
one. So, I mean I
didn't go to a Tyson one, but

126
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.120
I went to De la Hoya some
of those, and there were a couple

127
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.600
of shootings. My brother was at
one of those where you know, he

128
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.840
was walking It was in the MGM
arena and he was walking back into the

129
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.639
hotel of fights and no shots to
fire and everybody's ducking for cover. Yeah,

130
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.360
Yeah, no, it's crazy.
It's a crazy place. Yeah,

131
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.440
crazy place. Anyways, So Vegas
in twenty twenty four, New Orleans in

132
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.080
twenty twenty five, then back to
the West coast two years in a row.

133
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.080
You got Santa Claaric which is the
forty nine ers. Change is twenty

134
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.159
twenty six, then twenty twenty seven. Now back in Los Angeles. Really,

135
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.200
three out of the next four Super
Bowls are on our side of the

136
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.159
country. It's funny. I didn't
go to the ones here. That's one

137
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.919
of the things I've never been to
and I really have no desire to.

138
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.879
Yeah, this in a few months, we were gonna be in Phoenix for

139
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.000
the final four. Yeah, so
so that I just think that's a lot

140
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.480
of people. I don't know.
Did you you were on thee you were

141
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.799
on the floor, but you were
didn't see the game. I was at

142
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.039
the game and I was in the
media area and away from it. It

143
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.759
was it was like really far,
I don't know. And people at the

144
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.639
top top did you see the photo? Well, I told you, I

145
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.879
you know, I walked, I
you know, when I was there at

146
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.639
the at the at the stadium,
I went to the top because I wanted

147
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.639
to see. I was the post. Look like you'll post the stamp.

148
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.879
You can't see the game. You're
gonna you know, you're gonna want,

149
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.399
you're gonna in order to see what
was on the court, you had to

150
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.279
watch the screen. So you're in
the building, but you're not watching.

151
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.320
You can't see the ball, you
know, going into the hole. And

152
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.080
that's seventy four thousand people. Yeah, yeah, I think that was.

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.559
six, the eight seventy four.
It might have been. It might have

155
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.639
been, but I remember looking up, I didn't see any empty seats.

156
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.159
That's no, No, you're right, it wasn't. It wasn't. That's

166
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.519
You know, I've got an account

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.480

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.600
over, Christiano Ronaldo and everybody else, And you Dodger fans really like

170
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.799

him everywhere. Oh yeah, you
go to a Dodger game, Yeah,

175
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.679
everybody's got him on. You know
if if if I were to wear Dodger

176
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.519
jersey, it would be a throwback
to Fernando. I went in at the

177
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:43.080
last time I was a Dodger statu
last time I was a Dodger stadium.

178
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.879
I went in and I found a
Dodger jersey, an authentic Fernando jersey from

179
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.159
nineteen eighty one, which was the
year came on, you know, one

180
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.320
Rookie of the Year and stuff.
It was four hundred dollars and like,

181
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.279
I'm not wearing four hundred dollar.
I don't wear anything other than suit that

182
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.440
might cost four hundred dollars. And
even then, I've only had a couple

183
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.600
of them. Seen have you tried
to get one? Lady O, you

184
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.679
make your own pretty much? Get
a jersey in this but Fernando in the

185
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.000
back. Yeah, I did wear
I did wear a forty nine Ers jersey

186
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.799
to a game where I was with
my my son and my sister were a

187
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.080
Candlestick park. It was the last
year the candlestick was around. And my

188
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.879
son said, you have to wear
a jersey, and he had a He

189
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.919
had a h Steve Young jersey that
I wore to the game. That's the

190
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.480
only time I can remember wearing an
actual You didn't worry it in La you

191
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.080
would have got your ass killer.
I went to I went to a Raiders

192
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.360
Patriots playoff game nineteen eighty five.
It was here the Patriots got crushed by

193
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.759
the by the Bears. Oh yeah, in the Super Bowl we saw the

194
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:54.000
Patriots beat the Raiders. I mean
I wore like nothing black, nothing red

195
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.919
or blue. I mean I was
just as neutral away from the colors as

196
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.120
you could possibly be because I didn't
want either, and I did think I

197
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.000
was one of them. Yeah,
and that was the craziest thing because the

198
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.480
Raiders lost. This is when they
were at the coliseum in LA. They

199
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.799
lost. Patriots fans were just I
was surprised when I read the paper the

200
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.840
next game. Nobody died. Nobody, Nobody died at that game. Yeah,

201
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.559
you just got to go watch and
have fun, not to wear something

202
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.360
because you see it all the time. Yeah, yeah, you do.

and get better, and I feel
like it's a great place to do that.

299
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.880
Coming coming from Alabama, Tucson obviously
a very different place. What what

300
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:42.079
did Tommy Lloyd say to you about
what it's like here and how much of

301
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.400
that you know? I mean,
I'm guessing he was pretty straightforward with you.

302
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.000
What you know, what do you
has been what you expected as far

303
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.559
as what Tommy described to you.
Uh, you know, it's been what

304
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:59.319
I expected and even more, you
know, we're gonna get better learned.

305
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.000
You know, he's been active for
a head coach. He gets on the

306
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.400
floor with you, he you know, work you out and he teach you

307
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.759
the game. And that's what you
want as a point guard. You want

308
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.200
somebody that's gonna hold you accountable.
He kind of teach you the ropes and

309
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:17.160
like he's a great job with not
me, but you know, everybody helping

310
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.200
us, you know, learn the
game and get better. And I'm sure

311
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.279
he told you it was going to
be eighty degrees on December thirteenth, right,

312
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.240
Yeah, I didn't expect this one. I didn't believe him. He

313
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.359
said, what would it be right
now? In Alabama? You probably be

314
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:36.119
a little nippy over there. Yeah, it probably be might be a little

315
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.000
rain and I might have a little
code on right now. Yeah, so

316
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.839
this is great. Yeah, so
you guys are off to an incredible start,

317
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:48.319
number one in the country. You
know, whatever, what expectations did

318
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.240
you have as far as that goes? I mean, I think you guys

319
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.960
knew you were going to be good, but you know what you've done maybe

320
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.559
a little off the charts. What
what do you think? You know coming

321
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.440
in, we know, we all
that a little meeting and you know,

322
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.559
we put down our goals for the
season, and like, you know,

323
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.440
one of our goals is definitely being
number one, but you know that's that

324
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:12.039
small, a small goal and our
you know, our big our big techlist

325
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.240
that we have and when I won
the national championship and you know, just

326
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.359
being number one, it puts a
bigger target on our back. But you

327
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.440
know we're ready for that and we'll
come in all everything. So you you

328
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:27.319
left the system where it's running,
gun, running and be fast. You

329
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.559
come to this system. You must
be really at home with this, Yes,

330
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.319
sir, you know kind of the
same. You know, similar play

331
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.359
styles, fast play style. Well
you know here just like you know,

332
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.839
a lot more of a structure.
We got you know, dominant big,

333
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.160
dominant guards, dominant wings. We
all just play on our road and trusting

334
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.359
each other. It's looking good out
there. So so let's let's go back

335
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.079
a little bit because you know you've
better got on. The season started and

336
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.400
had a couple of exhibition games,
had one regular season, and then you

337
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.440
go to Duke, what what was
going on with you guys getting ready for

338
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:04.079
that game? Because you know,
I mean, everybody thought, you know

339
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.279
you're going to do It's gonna be
hard to win. I think most of

340
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.079
us thought, you know, I
didn't expect you to win, but you

341
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.160
know that you guys will obviously be
competitive. But do you know, was

342
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.440
there anything that you can think about
maybe that week of practice or going into

343
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.039
that game that you thought, you
know, we're gonna win this game because

344
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:26.480
of X. Yeah, I would
just say the main thing was, you

345
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.279
know, just a coach is Coach
Lloyd, you know, Coach Murph,

346
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.559
you know, Coach Ricky, other
guys just stealing that confidence in us and

347
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.920
just you know, telling us that, you know, they rode us off

348
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.640
at the beginning of the season and
think we were gonna be the top team,

349
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:45.079
and then they were telling that we're
better these guys and on paper,

350
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.599
you know, they look they look
great as well. But you know,

351
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:51.839
coach is just stealing that confidence in
us leading up to that game, and

352
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.200
we believed it and we went out
there and we showed it as well.

353
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.880
So, so how is it playing
for Tommy? And and I'll say this

354
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.000
because you know, he's been here
three years. The media likes him here,

355
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.000
a lot of people like him,
and I like him because he's a

356
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.920
straight shooter. He's he talks about
uh, you know, telling him to

357
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.079
kick their asses. You know,
he talks like a normal dude. How

358
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.000
is that? Yeah, he's a
great coach on the court. Off the

359
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.440
court, he's a you know,
he's a basketball and you know he thinks

360
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.720
the game. Yeah, on the
court, and you know love the coach

361
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.759
like that. You can pick his
brain at the time. He's like he

362
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.039
said, it's like a normal guy. So we can We're not afraid to

363
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.240
ask him questions. But you know, he takes our feedback, take his

364
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.440
as well. So I feel like
that makes him so great. We can

365
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.319
you know, kind of relate he
trusts him and understand what he's thinking.

366
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.839
So so from where we said,
you know, we see the four guards

367
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.400
that play all the time. You
Kyler Boswell, obviously Caleb Love and then

368
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.920
uh and then kJ lewis to us, you guys look all look very similar.

369
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:56.799
But you guys are you know,
you're on the court with these guys.

370
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.160
What are some of the different qualities
is that maybe you bring that those

371
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.440
those guys. Then what are some
of the other differences among the four of

372
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.839
you, Because like I said,
you guys look the same. You're you

373
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.680
know saying all about the same height, the same body style, the whole

374
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.680
bit. Almost to me, it's
almost the same game. But there have

375
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.160
to be some differences. Yeah,
for sure, four great guards we can

376
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.400
have on there, don't matter like
how he pays them, you know,

377
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.759
Colin and kJ me, Kleb or
however he puts this in. We kind

378
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119
of know the system and like like
you said, we played similar, but

379
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.119
we all have you know, our
things that we're good at and we we

380
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.319
play off each other. Like Colin, he's a great shooter, so you

381
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.319
know, we looked the game m
great shots. You know, he came

382
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:44.839
the others great shots. You know. Kleb he's just he has a knack

383
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.359
for you know, scoring the ball, whether it's shooting into the basket.

384
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.119
You know, Caj is a great
athlete, great defender. You know,

385
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.119
he's always making highlight plays. And
you know I can bring a little bit

386
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:02.119
of little defense, high high energy, get downhill, get my teammates in

387
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:07.079
well, kind of do a little
bit and just we all have have different

388
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.759
you know quality. So yeah,
no question before you got here. I'm

389
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:14.279
sure you did some research and all
that, but you probably know the history

390
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.400
of the point guard. You and
this year it's like backcourt you so many

391
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.160
good people. But what did you
know before you got here? You know,

392
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.440
the Mike Bibbies of the world,
the Damon's and those guys. Honestly,

393
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.799
I didn't know too much when I
first got here. But you know,

394
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.319
Coach Murphy he did a great job, right, You know, they

395
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.720
do a great job. But teaching
us to history, teaching us the culture.

396
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.920
Like you said, those great guards
that come before us, you know,

397
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:41.799
we got, you know, big
shoes to feel and you know we

398
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:47.240
respect those guys for kind of painting
that path for us so we can have

399
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:51.400
this opportunity, and you know we
don't regret it. Well today's if I

400
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:56.559
could, today's kids and pardon this, but nothing phases you guys. You

401
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.119
guys have seen it all, done
it all, blah blah blah, and

402
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.519
here comes Steve Curve into the building
and we don't know who Steve Curry is,

403
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.119
Right, how was that meeting him? Maybe listening to a speech or

404
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.920
two? Yeah, you know you've
curR. You know he's you know,

405
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.400
he's a legend, came played at
Owner and you know, play at the

406
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.759
highest level and coaches at the highest
level. All right, he'll go down

407
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.680
as one of the you know,
best coaches in the NBA. And uh,

408
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.279
just to hear what he has to
say, and you know know that

409
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.519
he's at the highest level and still
supporting us. You know, we all

410
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:33.200
respect that, and you know you
want to be where he's been and what

411
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.440
he's did. You know, we
were all ears and all odds and listening

412
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.319
and you know, hearing what he
had to say. So, uh,

413
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.240
you've already had some big games that
you know that you guys have played it

414
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.279
that have gotten you to number one. You know, you'd beat Duke,

415
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.319
could be Michigan State Wisconsin on top
of the other teams. Now you got

416
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.359
Purdue coming up a one versus three
game. You know, I'm sure you

417
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.319
don't there's nothing you got to do
to get yourself up for that game.

418
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:04.200
But what is it about games like
that that are special for you guys as

419
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:10.480
players? I feel like, you
know, when you playing college basketball,

420
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.119
you want to you want to play
the best of the best. You want

421
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:17.480
to show your capability and you know
why, you know, show your show

422
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.640
your skill set and show the team
skill set. So you know, p

423
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.640
due, they were number one at
one point during the season, and you

424
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.920
know they want to prove by they
should be number one, and we want

425
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.519
to prove we should be number one. So it's gonna be a great battle

426
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.200
coming in. We know it's not
going to be easy, a world game,

427
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:38.680
So trusting each other, tusting the
coaches, you know, we'll go

428
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.680
out there energy well, no question, because you guys have to knowing that

429
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.359
everyone's going to be after you guys
being the number one team, and that's

430
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:51.160
typically the history of the program.
You go somewhere, other fans show up

431
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.839
because they want to beat you.
How is that? Yeah, I mean

432
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.599
that's what you know, that's where
we get our know, our thrive,

433
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.759
our thrill from like teams, we
don't want to other teams to hand us

434
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.359
and us anything going in, Like
you said, being number one, got

435
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:11.799
a target on our back. You
know, we've got there, you know,

436
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.160
going into this game, we know
Purdue is going to go on a

437
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.119
run. So we just gotta stick
with it, stick with each other,

438
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.839
you know, just plets each other. Okay, So I know you guys

439
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.640
don't like to talk about anything but
the game that's ahead of you. But

440
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:30.359
you got you got Alabama next week. Have you thought at all what that's

441
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.880
gonna be like for you? Are
You're just gonna wait until after the Purdue

442
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.319
game and feel free to tell us
that you've been thinking about it. Yea,

443
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.960
Honestly, you know, I try
to try not to think about what's

444
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.920
ahead of me. I want to, you know, give all my energy,

445
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.000
all my attention to know what's coming
up in front of us. But

446
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.680
now that's that's been in the back
of my mind. And after we get

447
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.240
this play on the road, we'll
stop preparing for that. And uh,

448
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.599
you know, I definitely will win
that game. So yeah, yeah,

449
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.200
no question. I think I'll talked
to you a little about Tucsons. Have

450
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.920
you been able to get out,
maybe have a favorite restaurant and just kind

451
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.880
of enjoyed the city? I know, you guys are busy with with work

452
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.920
and with school in basketball, but
have you found a spot? I have

453
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.400
a spot, but you know,
my teammates and the coaches, we've been

454
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.519
to some uh they put me on
some famous you know who's out here and

455
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:26.160
I tried to I think it's called
the Sonor And do you know that's you

456
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.519
know, I get that quiet office, so you know, I can say

457
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.200
I'm a fan of the fan of
those. Oh that's good, that's good.

458
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.839
You're kind of almost a two soon
in now exactly. And then if

459
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.000
you saw Steve and I, you
know, we've been fans of those for

460
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.519
for a while now, so we've
been we've been running around. Just tell

461
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.319
us a little bit about you know
beyond you know what what's going on on

462
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.359
the basketball court again, your experience
here in Tucson, living here, weather,

463
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.480
those kinds of things that we talked
a little bit about that. But

464
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.759
you know, how have you adjusted
to the place. What do you kind

465
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.960
of what do you like about the
place? M what I like about it?

466
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.079
You know, off the court wise, you know, the weather is

467
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:06.359
always good, that's a plus.
You know, the atmosphere, you know,

468
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.359
everybody is very welcome and very polite
kind on the court. Wise,

469
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.359
the coaches are they trusting, trusting
us, believe in us and our development.

470
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.960
That's big. You don't get a
lot of head coaches that are hands

471
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:23.359
on and want you to want you
to develop. I think that's probably the

472
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:27.599
biggest part. I just like you
know, how this culture and atmosphere is.

473
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:30.960
I think the philosophy of the offense
that he has. You know,

474
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.839
it's it's a run, run and
then find the ball, will find the

475
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.839
open man. Just your philosophy in
finding and you and playing that type of

476
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.519
offense. You know, you can
come in for you know, twelve fifteen

477
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.880
minutes and still have a chance to
touch the ball, maybe shoot the ball.

478
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.640
Yes there, Yeah, that's kind
of a big thing too. We're

479
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.359
not I don't think we have any
selfish players on our team. You know,

480
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:59.119
he watches play every possession. I
think everybody touched the ball at least

481
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:05.279
once. You multiple ball screen actions, high low actions. So very unselfished

482
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.160
and you know organized too, even
though we're running fast, you know,

483
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:14.640
chaotic, but you know we got
a great system. Sorry about that.

484
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.599
Confort Mic. One of the things
that I got talked about at the end

485
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:22.720
of last year when they lost the
president was that Arizona had to really step

486
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.000
up its toughness. You got you
got a guy like you know, Key

487
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.440
Shott who brings that level. I'm
sure you know you see it in Caleb,

488
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.160
you see it in catcha yourself.
You know, you're from a program

489
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:37.079
that you know, Alabama that historically, you know, a team that plays

490
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.440
physically in a conference that's very physical. Has there been a no, you

491
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:44.559
know, you probably I'm sure you
didn't know what it was like last year

492
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.559
with Arizona, But have you noticed
that you consider yourselves a very physical team

493
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.720
that can you know, take on
that type that type of approach for that

494
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.519
attitude. Yeah, Like you know, that was kind of our biggest thing

495
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:00.519
before the season even started, just
you know, physical physical. We wanted

496
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.119
to get tougher, you know,
and I kind of see what you see

497
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.839
that on the court now. You
see our guards, you know, fighting

498
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.279
through ball screens. You see our
big battling down low, you know,

499
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.599
guys diving on loose balls like you
said, like te Sean Aja, you

500
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:17.599
know, uh, our a big
part of that. That's that's how we've

501
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:21.680
been focusing on and want to keep
developing. As we can see you to

502
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.160
play right, right, So when
you get in the game, what's your

503
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:29.839
first thing, your first thought of
having to boost the team or what's your

504
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:35.359
role in your mind? First of
all, you know, just looking on

505
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:37.480
sitting on the bench and you know, observing the game and seeing how the

506
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:42.720
defense, our guarden certain reads and
you know how they're guarding certain things,

507
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.279
and when I get in there,
knowing that adjustment that I have to make,

508
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.319
and you know, kind of just
bringing that spark energy off the bench,

509
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.200
you know, pushing the pace a
little bit, getting a little faster,

510
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.240
you know, getting more stops,
doing anything I need need to do

511
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:59.400
to kind of give my team that
spark. Right Well, they're going to

512
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:01.799
need your spot and everybody else's park
Saturday. So good luck to you,

513
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.599

00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.159
props to him for having the energy
sure to do that, because performing is

596
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.159
hard. It's hard damn work.
You ever say, you know, if

597
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:15.119
you've been up close to watch a
performer, it's hard damn work. And

598
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.519
and you know to be that old
and continue to you know, you look

599
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:21.000
at Mick Jagger, you know,
I saw a big of Mick Jagger doing

600
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:25.159
a he did a song with with
Taylor Swift on her tour. Mick Jagger's

601
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.760
I think mid to late seventies and
he's still out there jumping around and you

602
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.599
know, and the whole bit.
And so yeah, those guys are old

603
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:36.880
seventy four. I mean, come
on, I was in high school and

604
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:38.960
I remember hearing his music in high
school. I'm thinking, okay, well,

605
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:44.280
certainly anybody older than me is old
those sixty five day but I think

606
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.079
there's people, but there's but that's
who we grew up listening to. At

607
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:52.000
least I did older old you know
a mile time favorite you know music artists,

608
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.960
Philip Baylor. Okay, Okay,
guy, he can still bring it.

609
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.679
But that guy's older than Dirk,
you know, he's much older than

610
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:00.880
me. Yeah, yeah, I'm
in country, not last year. I

611
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.039
saw him in country a couple of
years ago. Yeah, I saw him

612
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.199
last year at the casino and and
uh and he still brings it, and

613
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:10.360
and you go, how do you
do that? You know? There are

614
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.840
days I can barely get out of
the out of the sack, you know,

615
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:15.480
but I think because they do it
every day. Yeah, their limber,

616
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.239
well, yeah, their life has
been that. So they're whatever shape

617
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.760
they're in, it's been, it's
a pretty good shape. Yeah. Well,

618
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:24.239
here we got a call, probably
an old comment to take this call.

619
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.320
You're on the air and I on
the ball. This is Nico.

620
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:35.599
Nico. Have we asked you?
How old is old? Like my dad's

621
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.119
age. He's about what fifties?
Like, who was your dad? Mike?

623
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.199

624
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:52.639
hey man, but see, I'm
losing some respect for you. Now.

625

You had some you had something to
say. I had some left.

626
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.000
When did you have any left?
Yesterday? Out you had a mullet.

627
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:07.360
Yeah, yeah, and then you
just went and saw Rick Springfield five years

628
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:12.320
ago. Did I have a lady
with me? Of course? Ideas about

629
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:16.159
Nico? I thought you would respect
that. What were you singing jessel in

630
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:25.239
Stevie's girl, dude, Nico?
Nico? He lost lost respect. I

631
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.000
didn't know I had any That's what
I didn't think you had any left with

632
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.880
Nico. So thanks Nico. I
have to rebuild that, all right,

633
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:35.960
all right, I'll give you guys
credit. Man, you guys had two

634
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.320
good interviews. All right, oh
today, Yeah, appreciate that. Hey,

635
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:44.360
did you listen yesterday with with h
Francona? Was great? Yeah?

636
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:46.039
That was good too. Man,
Well, what was springing it for you?

637
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:50.320
Nico? It's not because of you. You motivate us. Oh wait,

638
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.800
wait, did you hear one of
the earlier callers like you. It

639
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.119
was Howard Crazy Howard? Uh he
said, well only you you two drink.

640
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:00.079
I don't think you drink. You
probably just do other things I drink.

641
00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:09.280
Nico is an all around player.
When they recruit you, Nico,

642
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:13.400
they call you athlete because you could
just play all the He's a three tool.

643
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.559
He's a three Tooler. All right, thanks, that'll go with my

644
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:27.000
lung, my nose too much.
One one one. What are you calling

645
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:32.440
about, Nico? Oh he started
to worry about me those in respect.

646
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:42.280
Okay, just saw this come across, so uh, Justin Spears retweeted Romo

647
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:46.920
Dunes, the Washington Wide Receiver all
Americans declaring no, no, no,

648
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:54.199
confirmed today that he broke a rib
and punctured along recovering that on site kick

649
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:59.559
at the end of the Arizona game. Spent the night here in the hospital

650
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.480
and then he had to be driven
back to Seattle. Well because you couldn't

651
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:07.400
get on the plane because he punctured
law and then he played through that because

652
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.360
I don't think he missed any games. No, because you had to play

653
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:13.000
in the Oregon game, Yeah,
a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

654
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:17.519
yeah, interesting right, interesting.
No, No, I'm debating whether I

655
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:21.880
should get Rock Springfield tickets. Holy
money, I'm going to be judged,

656
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.360
you know, Uh, Steve,
go ahead. I mean, Rick Springfield

657
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:28.679
was one of the guys during our
time. Yeah, you know, he

658
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.280
was one of the guys. And
you know he's had a couple of songs,

659
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.719
and you know, saw him a
general hospital and all that kind of

660
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:35.920
stuff. I don't think you should
be a shamed of going over the man

661
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:42.320
Nicos shaming me. Hey man,
I went to the Backstreet Boys if my

662
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.039
kid, yeah, well that's father
of the year. Voting for father of

663
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:49.960
the year. Went to the Backstreet
Boys up and went drove to Phoenix to

664
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.400
go to the Backstreet Boys, which
the nuts, well like ten years ago,

665
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.159
twelve years ago they were, they
were the young Backstreet Boys. I

666
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:04.599
mean I probably probably twenty years ago. Oh yeah, so like early two

667
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.840
thousand. Yeah, probably it's probably
twenty years ago because my kids were little

668
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.719
and that that's the only concert like
that that I've ever been to where you

669
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:19.360
know, it was all kids and
they screamed the whole time. And you

670
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.320
know, I had seats kind of
to the if you're looking at the stage,

671
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.800
I had to the left and not
too far, but I was up

672
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:30.400
on the side in the seats.
And I was just stunned at how people

673
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:36.599
or kids could just scream through a
concert and enjoy the concert. Honestly,

674
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:43.800
I think the Taylor Swift they I
remember reading about it said they made like

675
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:46.360
a small earthquake with so many people
there. Yeah, a small earthquake.

676
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:54.800
Happened somehow. That was just Travis
Kelsey. But you know it was because

677
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.800
the concerts I ever went to,
they weren't ever the you know, the

678
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.320
Taylor Swift Stadium concerts. Well,
I guess I went. I saw you

679
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:07.679
two at at the Cardinals Stadium,
so that was pretty big. But that

680
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.280
was like the you know, most
of my concert were things I saw at

681
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.199
the Tucson Arena or or one of
the casinos. Well, earth went on

682
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:19.039
Fire, you know a bunch of
times. Yeah, so that's they put

683
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.400
on great shows. The best one
of them that I saw. And it

684
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:28.000
was the first time that they started
because remember the way too much detail,

685
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.119
but Maurice White got MS and their
lead singer and the founder. So they

686
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:36.639
didn't tour for quite a while.
And then around nineteen ninety five they started

687
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:39.480
touring again and they came and played
in Phoenix at the at the Music Hall

688
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:44.000
of the Phoenix and Business Center.
We went to that and that was the

689
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:45.920
best Earth Wind and Fire because they
were still pretty I mean that was thirty

690
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:51.119
years ago and uh, and they
were great. And I've gone to pretty

691
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:52.679
much every time they come to town, I go see them. I've seen

692
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:58.679
them a bunch but saw great Stevie
Nicks concert up in Phoenix, which was

693
00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:01.559
awesome. Saw Boss Skags here a
couple of times, which was awesome.

694
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:10.079
But you know, stuff like that
my generation. What Garth Brooks here at

695
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:14.880
Michale back when you started. Him
and Faith Hill were coming together back in

696
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:19.000
the day ninety five ish. Uh, sorry to say, Nico, I'm

697
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.840
going to disappoint you again, but
Pitt Pull to me is fantastic. And

698
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:28.320
the dancers don't forget the dancers.
Yeah, so Pitt Pull the dancers that

699
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.760
stuff foreigner back in the day,
you know, bad company. Yeah,

700
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.639
that's probably because buddy, a buddy
of mine, wanted to I'm like,

701
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:43.840
okay, I'll go. Saw Bob
Dylan at at at the Casino. Still

702
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.679
don't know what he said, but
I saw him no idea. Yeah,

703
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.079
you know people talk and talk about
that. That's exactly it. I mean,

704
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.599
I didn't understand the single word he
said. Yeah, yeah, I

705
00:47:55.679 --> 00:48:00.079
can. You know. George Benson
was a good When I saw George Benson

706
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:05.280
with with Natalie Cole, which was
a very cool concert after the Casino,

707
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.400
New World. George Benson was one
of my dudes in the mid in the

708
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:15.239
in the in the mid we both
having lost lost respect for you know,

709
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:20.400
whatever he comes with mere stereo.
All right, I'll give it up.

710
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.000
Nico's okay. You think Nicole's gonna
hate what you saw? Verry Manilow,

711
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:30.119
Oh oh yeah, Copa, I
thought, very very Manilow in the round

712
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:36.760
at at McHale. Saw really Kenny
Rogers and Crystal Gale at the in the

713
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:43.000
round at Michale, and Crystal Gale
captured that. Of course he was awesome.

714
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:47.440
Stevie Wonder saw Stevie Wonder at Michale
his last concert in Arizona nineteen eighty

715
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:52.519
something. This was in the late
eighties. Stevie Wonder came here eight really

716
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.320
yeah. My wife and I went, yeah. He came and played a

717
00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.639
kale. And it was when it
was when Zone was trying to get Martin

718
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:06.239
Luther king Day. Oh I remember
Bruce Babbitt had declared Martin Luther king Day.

719
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:10.760
Then that butt head that got impeached, that got uh got what was

720
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:14.960
his name, but got elect the
governor that got impeached because he was just

721
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.840
a crook, and he he removed
the governor's order, and that it was

722
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.320
rumored that that was going to happen. And Stevie Wonder said, if you

723
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.440
he told the crowd, if you
let them take away the MLK day,

724
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.239
I will never set foot in Arizona
again, And they did and he hasn't.

725
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:34.960
He's never played another concert in Arizona. So our boys picture a Tower

726
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.239
of Power, Tower of Power.
I saw Tower of Power with War.

727
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.920
That was my first concert I ever
went to. But years seventy, seventy

728
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.480
five, seventy six, I was
a junior in high school. Tower of

729
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.039
Power would come here all the time. They were great. Did you see

730
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.119
you two? I saw them too. Those I was kind of far from

731
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:52.840
the stage zone for you two.
Oh you too. We were. They

732
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.800
were playing at one end of the
stadium Cardinal statem and we were at the

733
00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:59.360
other. Yeah, it's it's tough
for you too, but you know we

734
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.719
heard the music and it was good
if it was there. Huey Lewis and

735
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:07.119
the news. Now you're losing him, Michale A great concert of the benefit

736
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:13.239
country. They used to talk about
this is for Sierra Tucson a drug rehab

737
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.800
and who therapy plays Jimmy Buffett,
James Taylor didn't go star. Yeah,

738
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.000
they think because all of those guys
that spend time at Syre. I played

739
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.719
with a poker with some older dudes
like that they talk about James said,

740
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.639
all those guys, yeah, because
it's in their wheelhouse. Yeah, you

741
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.440
know, sixties nine seventy year old
guys and yeah, yeah, And that

742
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.360

the only time I got to see Jimmy

743
