Good afternoon, 9 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.520 everybody. A lot of things going on. Exciting news on the baseball front. 10 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.320 Yeah, yeah, go ahead and talk about it. Yeah. The 11 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.880 Wildcats baseball team. I pulled off. It was a nail bider of a 12 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.880 win. I got. I got caught up, and then I'm watching it 13 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.240 at home, and then I went out to lunch. I was out with 14 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.079 my Wednesday crew. Were over at Postino on on Grant Road. And it's 15 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.039 it's not a sportspark kind of place, right, It's more of a kind 16 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.879 of a fun restaurant, people hanging out, having a good time. But 17 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.480 we've had we had like three phones on the table, all had the game 18 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.480 on, and you'd have thought we were Bob Dobbs or something. We're yelling 19 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.640 and we're clapping, and um, we're pissed off because they were. They 20 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.079 gave up a lead and then they wanted in a walk off bottom bottom of 21 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.799 the ninth inning. Um. Uh you score, uh score run to to 22 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.840 win it. Um. One of the interesting thing UH stats on that was 23 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.560 Chris Barrazza relief picture for for Arizona, comes in, gets himself in trouble, 24 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.560 then gets out of trouble. They had a first and third nobody out 25 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.120 in the top of the ninth, got out of it and then uh um. 26 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:47.879 Then they come up and win in the bottom of the night. But 27 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.799 Chris Barrazza was on the losing end of two walkoffs at Oregon stage back to 28 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.560 back, so he was on the mound for both of those and then he 29 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.920 gets a walk off. He gets a walk off today in a win puts 30 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.439 Arizona in the in the semi finals of the tournament. If you believe Troy 31 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.120 Hutchinson, he thinks that they might be in the NC Double A tournament with 32 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:14.360 this win. I reserve my judgment judgment. A couple of stats on that. 33 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.719 Brian Peterson posted this that Arizona is now forty eight in the RPI. 34 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.319 They're ahead of USC and ASU. They're nine and twelve. Record against Quad 35 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.439 one opponents is better than both of those schools, so they might they were 36 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.639 they were those two expected to get in. Well, those two were seeded 37 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.479 ahead of Arizona in the in the pactual, but not the NC Double. 38 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.000 There are other factors, I honestly, these are these guys are gonna have 39 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.759 the same trouble the women did. Yeah, because of other other factors. 40 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.439 I think I think they need one more and that that one's gonna be hard 41 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.599 because they're guaranteed to be the lowest seed of the four teams and in the 42 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.479 semifinals, so they're probably gonna play Stanford and that's gonna be a hard They 43 00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:00.000 did give them a good series. It's yeah, you know, well exactly. 44 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.520 I mean, Oregon State was the number two seed and they beat him. 45 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.879 So you know, I'm not saying it can't happen. It's just gonna 46 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.080 be hard, difficult, but they've got it, you know, they put 47 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.280 themselves. Look, they've done what they needed to do to put themselves in 48 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.360 position. Now they've got a chance to get themselves even beyond then if they 49 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.919 beat Stanford, who the hell knows what, Now you can win the whole 50 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.199 Dame thing. So we'll see. But a huge win again, you know, 51 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.879 just one of those nail biting games. You know, they were down 52 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.759 four, Oregon State scored four in the top of the first. Chase Davis 53 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.800 hit this home run. Steve, you know, I've been watching airs on 54 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.199 a baseball for a long time, forever and ever. I mean, Frank 55 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.080 ConA, Dave Stegman, hitters that have come through that have just been incredible. 56 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.240 I don't remember a prettier swing than Chase David. Yeah, yeah, 57 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.199 I've seen him hit a few balls now, yeah, no question. You 58 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.319 know who I really like? Uh is the shortstop? Yeah, just a 59 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.680 defensive guy, but he can but he can stick. He scored the winning 60 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360 run, you know, he got on with a base hit. Um they 61 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.360 got, you know they got. They actually almost blew it. They had 62 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:10.120 first and third with with one out, and um and and uh, Chase 63 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.039 Davis. It's a hard ground ball to second base, and but it wasn't 64 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.480 a hard but it was like a short liner, and so the runner on 65 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.000 third because it's kind of held up and hesitated. Then the guy one hopped 66 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.279 it and then he tried to go and they threw him out of home. 67 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.759 So that was two outs they had first and second, and then then then 68 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.199 then they get the base hit by a Kiko Romero, the kid from CEO 69 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.600 gets a base hit up the middle to win it. Mclaurie scores. That 70 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.639 scores the winning run. But back to Chase Davis. He hit a home 71 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.079 run today. You don't normally from the outfield camera, guy hits you know, 72 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.399 guy hits a rocket. You always see the ball off the bat right, 73 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.759 you see the trajectory of the ball. Chase Davis hit this so hard 74 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.959 you could not see the ball off the bat. The ball was just gone. 75 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.879 Yeah, he's a tough he you he does not get cheated on his 76 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.199 swing, does not. He does not hes. He's gonna make some money 77 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.199 in Major League. He's unbelievable swing. He's like Tiger when he goes up 78 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.040 and takes at it. Well. I, you know, earlier in the 79 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:14.800 day, just I came across the video of of Ken Griffy Junior. He 80 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.240 hit three homers in a game on this day and whenever and his three swings. 81 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.240 I said, that looks like Jase Davis, you know, or Chase 82 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:29.079 Davis looks like Ken Griffy jus unbelievable left hand swinging, beautiful natural swing. 83 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.879 We do. You're on the R and I on the ball. How are 84 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.079 you guys? This is Gabriel calling from California. Hey, how are you 85 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.600 guys doing? Gabriel? Gabriel, Fine, let me let's let's first see 86 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.360 what you're gonna talk about, because I have some talking to you. Okay? 87 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.639 Cool? Um? So I think so um? This was reported today 88 00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:00.319 that uh that it called you call that a reporter from O calif Home who 89 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:09.639 works along the Oklahoma talks about basically reported on how Colorado is, um crazy 90 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:15.000 is almost not not necessarily necessary, almost going. Well, they're gonna be 91 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:23.399 Their decision about going into the BIT twelve is gonna happen soon. So I 92 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.319 saw a report, Yeah, I saw a report like that yesterday where Arizona 93 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.600 was mentioned that they too want to jump. Obviously, M Gabriel, just 94 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.360 because you want to jump doesn't mean they want to take you. But but 95 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:39.199 I saw the same report. I saw some some preliminary reports yesterday and Arizona 96 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.279 was mentioned. But that doesn't shock you, does it? Um? So 97 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.800 I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I'm not going to speculate 98 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.720 by just hope day Peki and President Robbins have every have all their ducks in 99 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.879 a row and do and do all just talking to their legals, defense were 100 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:08.079 not legal, defendious, every everything. I hope they have all their doc 101 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:15.839 mts cross and also uh and also, um, let me give you this 102 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.839 scenario. So when Arizona and Colorado get them, when they decide to go 103 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:29.040 into the Big twelve, and then and then a FU decides to stay in 104 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:35.560 the past twelve because of their whole because of the whole arrogance or stupidity, 105 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:44.279 and I think it's more stupidity. But can ken ken ken that happened? 106 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.680 And can a reason to go to the Big twelve and then a SU can 107 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:56.040 stay because because they're not there? Very bright, I'm gonna say it can 108 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.519 technically happen. I doubt that that would happened. I doubt that the border 109 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.800 regions, which which has control over this, would allow one to go without 110 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:13.079 the other. Um Can I say this? Um? Well? In Oklahoma, 111 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.759 Oklahoma, left to going the SEC and the Oklahoma State didn't didn't like 112 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.439 row Row Road, Oklahoma, Oklahoma. So I'm just very interested in in 113 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.960 BA Scen area. From from from my experience with the Board of Regions and 114 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.440 no actually knowing some people on the Board of Regions, I'm gonna say it's 115 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:48.639 highly unlikely, probably nine unlikely, that the Border regions would okay Arizona going 116 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.000 without Arizona State. And that's just the way it's always been here. Way 117 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.120 back when Arizona and Arizona State went into the pack what became the PAC ten, 118 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.759 Arizona State did not want to go to the PAC ten. The Border 119 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.240 Regions said Arizona is going, and guess what you are too, and they 120 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.840 went kicking and screaming. Arizona State would still be in the Whack or the 121 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.120 Mountain West if it was up to them. So just politically in this state, 122 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.200 it's different from Oklahoma, it's different from Texas, that's different from anywhere 123 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.799 else. I don't believe that Arizona can go to a conference without Arizona State. 124 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.200 So so if if, if, if Colorado go to the Big Twelve, 125 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.559 great let Colorado go to the Big Twelve. Who are they gonna go 126 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.960 with maybe nobody Arizona. I'm pretty sure Arizona Arizona State are staying together. 127 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.080 Well, let's just see what happen, right, all right, and and 128 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.879 I'm looking at I'm looking at the article that have right, but hold on, 129 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.000 hold on, Gabriel, I'm looking at the article that I think you 130 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.440 you were talking about it in the Oklahoma It's a Big twelve source. So 131 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.919 again, everybody's got an agenda when they come out with stuff like this, 132 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.600 and so you know, maybe the Big twelve is trying to make something happen, 133 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.720 trying to get PAC twelve, you know, schools to work against each 134 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.600 other, YadA, YadA, YadA. Again, I caution everybody, don't 135 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.840 believe anything until you see something signed. And that's that's basically all we can 136 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.919 do. It's gonna be all kinds of all kinds of speculation between now and 137 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.000 until a deal is done. Well, let me also say this, I 138 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.279 think Arizona's a deal. Why it's best for Arizona, right, not the 139 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.240 whole conscience. That's a there's no loyalty in the past. Well, that's 140 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.279 a that's I didn't see and you see that they didn't have any law see 141 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.240 when they left. I think that that's a joke. Yeah. I think 142 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.840 Dave hen made that pretty clear that they were gonna do what's best for Arizona, 143 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.080 and some people took that to mean Arizona jumping to the Big twelve. 144 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.120 I don't take that to mean anything other than Arizona is going to get do 145 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.440 what's best for Arizona. Okay, Well, thank you you guys, you're 146 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.799 rock. Thank you Gabriel. I was gonna ask him, Uh, Gabriel, 147 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.919 where did you stand on the the Tommy Lloyd situation? I think he 148 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.679 was critical of him early to say, like many others, like any other 149 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.279 that that said, you know what about what's going on with Paddick in the 150 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.200 streets, fire in the theater there, they's gonna be okay. They're turning 151 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.960 out to be okay. We'll probably have something in breaking news about another recruit 152 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.679 that could be coming here. At least time I was on a list. 153 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.639 So yeah, I mean it's not even June, right, Relax exactly exactly. 154 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.840 You know now, you now you got people talking about the lineup that 155 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.039 oh they got this, they got that that they didn't have before, and 156 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.360 they got like we're you know, go back to your basement base. Right. 157 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.360 Well, there was one today on Facebook that was very interesting talking about 158 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.519 Arizona. Some guy just randomly said, you know, all those guys can 159 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.799 shut up now, blah blah blah. Another guy came in, well, 160 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.399 now about his coaching. Now it's gonna be you know, if it's not 161 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.159 one thing, it's the other wrong. You know, he could throw with 162 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.360 his right, but he can't he protect it with his left. You know, 163 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.039 come on, really, really, you know, what about what about 164 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.679 that? What about that guy? Enough? I know guys, well again 165 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.799 getting back. You know, Arizona is such a it's a crazy thing watching 166 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.600 them play, because you know, they got up twelve to eight, they 167 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.480 were down eight to five.

We're doing fun. 266 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.480 I think last year at this time we've spoke to you and had a 267 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.240 good time. It's gonna let's just make it routine. We'll get you again 268 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.119 next year. Yet put us in your calendar for this day next year. 269 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.480 How does this one feel? Um? This one, this one feels I 270 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.119 mean, you know, just as good as as the last one. And 271 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.640 um, you know, teams were a little bit different this year. Um, 272 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.400 trying to get this game done. But um, you know, it's 273 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.000 still a good feeling. So let's let's talk about that a little bit because 274 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.519 that was quite a quite a grind over at Hill and Brand. You get 275 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.680 postponed, you get postponed again. You played, you know, on a 276 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.319 Saturday morning. Um, was there any any I mean both teams were having 277 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.039 to go through it, right, But still, how does that affect How 278 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.559 does that affect a team trying to get ready for a game like that. 279 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.160 Well, you know it was hard because you know, the girls get hyped 280 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.200 up and they get pumped up, ready to go, and then okay, 281 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:00.480 now it's a let down. We have to wait and then we have to 282 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.559 try to build them back up again, and then we're almost there. We 283 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.920 start the game, and then weather hits and then it's okay, we've got 284 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.920 to We've got to keep them up and motivated and focused, and you know, 285 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.039 it's hard for them. But at the same time, you know, 286 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.039 I'm really proud at how they overcame the issues that they were you know, 287 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.279 they were faced with. And our principle said it very, um so eloquently. 288 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.880 You know, from the beginning, we talked about um, you know, 289 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.960 adversity that we might face. When we saw our schedule. We had 290 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.200 to play a lot of teams that were four, five and six A teams, 291 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:38.599 and we talked about the pressure as a privilege and so, you know, 292 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.440 at the adversity that we knew we were going to face throughout the season, 293 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.480 we thought was just going to be scheduled wise, and so our principal, 294 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.720 mister Ramadan, was able to say, you know what, everything that 295 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.279 we prepared them for to face was actually the adversity we were going to face. 296 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.279 With the weather, and so we just really felt like the girls were 297 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:03.319 prepared and they did the best that they could and couldn't be more proud of 298 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.839 them. So I can't remember the record, but obviously three we had the 299 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.440 Stu Point on they had lost one. I think the one they lost one. 300 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.400 We gave her a little grief about that one. Let me give you 301 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.839 a grief about the three. What happened? So the three that we lost 302 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.279 are was one to South Point, Wow, and that was actually that was 303 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.359 a really good game for us. Um. I think that's the best we've 304 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.839 played them in years. Um. You know, we were leading until the 305 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.000 fifth inning and then um, you know they just caught onto our pitcher and 306 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.039 yeah, that but we were we finished all seven innings, so we were 307 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:47.759 sad excited about that. And then we also played Cdo in our opening tournament 308 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.839 and so we lost three zero to them. Um. And then the other 309 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.680 loss we had was Paradise Honors, which is a phoenix another four eighteen. 310 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:02.599 Okay, so very good teams obviously legitimate when you when you're playing as well 311 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.960 agin you win thirty games, How much did the losses help versus how much 312 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.839 wins help? Well, I mean that's you know, when that's how we 313 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.519 learn, UM, that's how we make changes, that's how we adjust and 314 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.920 and that's how we learn. Resiliency is when we're able to bounce back, 315 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.680 we're able to use it to propel us and to learn from instead of let 316 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.640 it define us. So I think that you know, we am We accept 317 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:33.160 those just as much as we accept our our victories. UM, they're just 318 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.799 as important. A lot of those lines and Jane knows this. I asked 319 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.680 this question all the time about coaches. Just what do you think your secret 320 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.839 sauces? You want? Two? Now? Right? Is that right? 321 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:47.319 Tune a row and well this is my third with Sabino, but my second 322 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.480 as head coach. Okay, okay, so you're okay, So what is 323 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:55.160 your secret sauce me in being uh the coach that has won these two or 324 00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:03.079 three. I think it's trying to create a culture and environment that really encompasses 325 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:10.079 UM team first, and you know, the girls not being afraid to make 326 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.680 a mistake, UM, not being afraid to take leads, to take charge, 327 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.359 to ask questions, UM, to be students of the game. I 328 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.759 think it's just creating that culture of a team first that really creates. You 329 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.880 know, that really makes a difference. You know when you when you talk 330 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.319 about that, there's you know, there's the culture that you want, but 331 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.839 then there's the culture that you have. Um you know, how what what 332 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.400 does a coach like you do to to create that to get the girls to 333 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.279 you know, understand, this is what we want, this is what we 334 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:48.319 need, and to kind of buy into that. So the last couple of 335 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.680 years, you know, we we start our season off with a breakfast and 336 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.799 we all get together as a whole program, UM varsity and jv and we 337 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.160 talk about the subneer standard and we let you know, we may guide them 338 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:06.599 as coaches, but their input is what drives this. And so if they 339 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.559 feel like they've got input and who we are as a program, we feel 340 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:15.599 that that really helps them to buy in and have ownership. And this year 341 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.839 we had Stacy Iveson come out and talk to the girls about what it means 342 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.240 to be a champion and what it means, you know, what it's going 343 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.240 to take the stay a champion and it's her the way that she spoke to 344 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.119 the girls, and you know, one of the things we really embraced was 345 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.559 she talks about, you know, be where your feet are and take it 346 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.799 one hurdle at a time. And so you know, of course we always 347 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.480 you know, we want to be in this endgame. But you know, 348 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.200 if we had to walk it back and we had to say, Okay, 349 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.160 we're going to do one game at a time, We're going to prepare you 350 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.880 know, our biggest in our biggest rival, or our biggest game is the 351 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.200 next one we're going to play. And so that's how we really tried to 352 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.000 prepare them and they embraced it. We went from there. So you said, 353 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.880 is it five straight? Is that what you said? Prestreight for you 354 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:10.599 guys have won four straight? Right straight? So a little dynasty. What's 355 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.759 the what is it? Michael over there? Now? It's almost expected or 356 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:18.119 maybe not it is. And you know, we've talked a lot about pressure. 357 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.680 Um. We have a shirt that we wear. On the front it 358 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:25.319 says Elite Mindset and on the back it says pressure is a privilege, UM, 359 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.839 And we've talked a lot about that and embracing embracing the pressure because you 360 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.880 know, we've worked really hard as a program, even before you know, 361 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.920 I came to Sabino, they've worked really hard at creating a culture and creating 362 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.480 a program that you know, with these standards. And so now that we've 363 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:48.519 done, you know, well we have to embrace the pressure and then um 364 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.720 and prepare for it. And that's how we kind of try not to let 365 00:25:52.839 --> 00:26:00.599 the the circumstances or the events become more than what they are. So um. 366 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.279 You know, one of the other things that we've talked we always talked 367 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.440 about is that, you know, having to have a leader or leaders on 368 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.960 the team. Sometimes it can be players, sometimes it can be a coach, 369 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.480 you know, who leads in a way that you don't have to have 370 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.799 an on the field leader. But what what what did you see from your 371 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.960 team in that respect? Who do you think were the leaders on your team 372 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:25.559 and how did they lead? What did they do to say earn that earn 373 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:33.200 that title? I mean our seniors, our seniors were great this year. 374 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.519 UM as far as stepping up as leaders, you know, we didn't have 375 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.319 to really, we didn't name a captain, but I think our leaders stepped 376 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.319 up in so many different ways. You know, we had a leader as 377 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:48.240 a short stop, um that really works with the infield. We had you 378 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.799 know, two leaders in the outfield with our little twins that you know, 379 00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.599 and and then we had you know, our leader behind the plate that was, 380 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.519 um, you know, leading from leading the whole field. And then 381 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.319 we you know, those are our seniors that you know that are just in 382 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.160 in our third basement. Is that she, you know, is one that 383 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.759 leads by example. Our seniors just in their own way have stepped up to 384 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.519 help lead their teammates. Um. So you know, I think I've read 385 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:15.759 somewhere that they said, I have you know, a bunch of coaches on 386 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.400 the field. Well, when you've got you know, kids that are students 387 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.359 of the game just as much, they just naturally fit into that position. 388 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.240 So our seniors have been incredible this year. So how many do you lose 389 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.319 and what do you get back? Um? So we lose six seniors this 390 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:40.720 year, and who returns and how does that look going to look? Well, 391 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.240 you know, we we uh, we still have our two pitchers that 392 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.119 predominantly pitched this year, which was our sophomore Avery and our junior Soriyah. 393 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:56.319 And you know, we've got a sophomore and a junior middle infielder that will 394 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:02.119 probably you know, take over. Um, we've got a catcher that's played 395 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:03.920 first base for us this year. So she'll try to fill in behind the 396 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.599 plate um. And then you know, we've been bringing up and keeping some 397 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.079 of our younger athletes the program. We carry them with us as much as 398 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:18.640 we could through our tournaments and then through postseason so that they could experience postseason 399 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.640 and they could experience the fastness of this level so that it wasn't it wouldn't 400 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.680 be a shock for them, you know, next year, it's something that 401 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.920 they can kind of flow right into. So just a question, as you 402 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.000 know, someone who's who lives here. You know, it used to be 403 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.680 that, you know, the good teams where the teams where the kids were 404 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.640 in their neighborhood went to the school. How has that changed over time? 405 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.920 You know with open enrollments and things like that. Where do your players come 406 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.279 from that allow you to continue to be this good Well, I think we're 407 00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:55.680 still pulling from our you know, from our area and that's you know the 408 00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:00.319 success of the program really helps as far as bringing the interests to abino Um, 409 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.039 you know, but it makes it difficult when you have you know, 410 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.079 programs like uh, you know stell point Um for example, and I went 411 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.079 to the stoll Point and so you know, it's uh I understand that part 412 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.559 of it. I understand that, but I think we're still pulling from our 413 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.359 area, and um, you know, hopefully the program will continue to be 414 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.920 as successful to be able to retain students in our area. Yeah. Well 415 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.880 so having said that, then you know, how how is it that you 416 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.799 you know, you have a program then that that is getting the neighborhood kids 417 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.680 and that is you know, why is softball that good out there? Who 418 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.880 helps along with that? That's far I'm not sure. Well, I'm like, 419 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:45.400 like, you know, when you're talking about if you're getting kids from 420 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.200 the neighborhood, you're eight year olds, ten year olds, twelve year old 421 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.720 you know, teenagers, they've got to be playing softball out you know, 422 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.240 in the in the Sabino area. How is that happening that your your program 423 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.759 can be this good by really drawing from the region or from the area. 424 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.480 You know, Club softball Okayum, you know, Southern Arizona has has some 425 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:14.079 really good softball talent and you know, just the club softball teams and good 426 00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.920 coaching continuing to to build athletes as they're coming through the ranks and coming through 427 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.640 the levels, and um, you know that's it helps make high school coaches 428 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.119 jobs a little bit easier when you know you're getting players that are playing for 429 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.920 quality teams and coaches and um, you know, it just makes things easier. 430 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.359 And also you can have some competition now that we saw the Empire is 431 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.680 building something over there as well on the east side, so that east side 432 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.720 both softball is gonna be pretty good. And I'm sure a lot of them 433 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.960 play together. Well, yeah, after the tournament or after our championship game. 434 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.960 You know, we have two players on our team and I think like 435 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.599 three or four on Empire's team that you know had to go, you know, 436 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.279 take off to the tournament and Phoenix to play together. Um, so 437 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.079 you know that made for an interesting dynamic. But I'm sure, you know, 438 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.440 they've been playing together for a while. I'm sure that everything just kind 439 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:08.640 of fell right back into place a minute. They were able to take the 440 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.240 field together. Well, we talked about this yesterday. I can't remember with 441 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.000 who, maybe it was the coach from yesterday, but these girls have grown 442 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.880 up together, right, even little little girl ly little league, I don't 443 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.559 know what it's called now, um, where they're eight years old and they 444 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.440 by the time they're sixteen, seventeen, they know exactly how good they are 445 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.319 because they're grown up together playing. Yeah, so it helps you helps with 446 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.000 chemistry and all that. M that sure does, all right, it sure 447 00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.799 does. So so next year, you know, are we're gonna be here 448 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.000 talking about this again? Or you know what, how do you go into 449 00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:45.119 next year? You know you've won four state championships in a row. How 450 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.279 do you go to the next year? One you want to have expectations, 451 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.359 but two you also want to make sure that people keep their wits about them 452 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.240 on stuff like this. How do you do that? Well, I think 453 00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.240 the biggest thing is you have to stay humble because one thing about this aim 454 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.000 is that you know it. If you're not humble, it's going to humble 455 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.680 you pretty quickly. Um. I've learned that as a cot and as a 456 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.240 as a player, that you have to stay humble. Um. You can 457 00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.759 be hungry, but you need to stay humble. And so I think, 458 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.240 you know, as we get back together and we prepare for next year, 459 00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:20.200 you you know, we have to keep that in mind. And um, 460 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.359 we you know, continue to bring resources to the girls, to pour into 461 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.519 the girls. And um, I think there's enough girls that have been around 462 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.480 as we talk about our core standards that will help carry on the tradition and 463 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:37.720 the leadership. Um. So it's I think we'll be I think we'll be 464 00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.680 okay. Um, you know it'll be a different look, but um, 465 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.240 I think we'll be okay. Do any of the any of the the young 466 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.839 women are going to be going to college playing? Yes, we have, 467 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.440 Um, we have one. Our short stop is still undecided. Um. 468 00:32:54.079 --> 00:33:00.279 We are two of our outfielders, the twins, they're going to East as 469 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:06.319 on A College. And we have our surveaseman who's going to Scottsdale Community College 470 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:10.400 and our catchers that's going to Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

There's a let's 536 00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:52.360 say, discussion going under Andy Morales's uh Facebook Facebook feed about it's it's referring 537 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.280 to South Points five stad I read it earlier and people being you know, 538 00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.480 well, they get to recruit and yadda YadA, y hadda and that kind 539 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.000 of stuff, and it's like, I get it, But then how do 540 00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.159 you explain Sabino's fourth straight state championship? Right? Right? I thought that 541 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:08.480 was one of the first things I thought when she came on. Yeah, 542 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:14.280 no questions again parents, right, uh, talking about stuff they know or 543 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.519 don't know, but bringing out in the public. Hasn't this always been the 544 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.159 case with this specific topic. Yeah? Well again, you know, they're 545 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.039 a private school. It's not their fault, right, They're a private school. 546 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:29.199 Go ahead and tell you explain. Okay. The argument is that let's 547 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:34.199 let's let's just say the name, that's South Point as an advantage because they 548 00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:38.639 can get students from throughout the area. They do offer scholarships and so you 549 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:42.719 know players they say, you know, they feel like, well, you 550 00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.960 know, the good players you know get attracted there. But still one, 551 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.519 you gotta like the school. Do you gotta be smart enough to get in 552 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.440 the school? Right? Three? Afford the school, and afford the school 553 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:57.480 because not everybody gets a scholarship, right And and is there some recruiting going 554 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.119 on, no doubt. I mean, you know, suth Point actually got 555 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.719 in trouble remember a few years back for football recruiting you're not supposed to. 556 00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:09.119 We know that that private schools do. Um. You know, my kids 557 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.760 went to a private school and I was a small school, private school. 558 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.320 But there was this one particular athlete who wanted to leave the school and go 559 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:21.079 somewhere, to go to a bigger school. And and our athletic director basically 560 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:22.719 told me, he said, you know because he went through he went there, 561 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.159 you know, in middle school. Right, so he wanted to go 562 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:30.119 to high school at a big school, you know, frankiemboo And uh right, 563 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:31.280 great. It was a really good athlete. He would have been a 564 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.840 good, good player no matter where he went. But um, you know, 565 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:38.360 Paul Bernoski, who was the athletic director at the time, convinced him 566 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.480 and said, you know, wherever you go, they're gonna find you, 567 00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:44.960 so just stay. And he was right, and he was right. He 568 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.199 was Frank, you got a four year scholarship, got a master's degree. 569 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:52.280 He's an investment banker now and doing really well and taking a large part because 570 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:58.119 he stayed where there were people that cared about him and and all those things. 571 00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.840 Now, you know, these kids that go to South Point, it's 572 00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.519 because they can't, right, And there's nothing wrong with that, right, 573 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.400 you know, my son wanted to go to South Point, and then he 574 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:09.079 went and he did his visit, and then he decided to stay at Saint 575 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.440 Gregory. Right, And he had a great time at Saint Gregory. Right. 576 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:14.760 Right, my son had the same opportunity. It was soccer. It 577 00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:17.760 was soccer because they have Wolfgang. He played for Wolfgang forever, great soccer 578 00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.960 program. Uh, the same group that the Cameron was in. A fantastic 579 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.920 team. They went all over the country and the paper are just closed. 580 00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.039 The paper are just closed. There's no way we're gonna be able to send 581 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:31.360 him to South Point. The paper had just closed. What are we gonna 582 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:35.079 do? And half went to South Point, half went to foot Hills and 583 00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.480 they went both won state titles and everything was fine, right, eventually, 584 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.480 guess what it all turns out fine? It does look south Point has always 585 00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.480 been south Point without questions, and they have not always been good at everything? 586 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.639 Correct, right? Correct? I mean there was I mean they didn't 587 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.320 win a state football championship till just a couple of years ago, and they've 588 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.400 been around forever and ever, and they didn't want it was the state basketball 589 00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:02.199 championship they had won one. His dad dad. No, No, the 590 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.199 you a Miller's guy, Miller's assistant. God, we had them on the 591 00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:15.760 show from Cincinnati. The dad the dad no, yeah, uh um. 592 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:21.039 The dad was the coach. Okay, mister, yeah, but you know 593 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.159 so south Point A. South Point has always been a private school that can 594 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.159 draw players from everywhere, and they've not always been good at everything. Well, 595 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.039 so you know they are now aren't Aren't schools able to kind of recruit 596 00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:39.000 outside now? Well, they Cindy said, She said they might drop mostly 597 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:43.880 from their area. With open enrollment they can get But you know that's what 598 00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.880 are you gonna drive across the time to go to Sabino probably when you can 599 00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:50.519 probably go to CDO or Flowing Wells or one the other. No, but 600 00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.320 if you're this parent spending enough time to write this, you're gonna be a 601 00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:58.920 guy or a woman who says, m where's the better programs at form my 602 00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:02.639 daughter or boy to have a success athletically? Right? That I might? 603 00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.920 I might, you know, I mean so it's look, it's it's a 604 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:13.760 it's an argument that's been going on forever, forever and ever, and to 605 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.800 to to bring it up now, you know, to kind of maybe take 606 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:21.920 away from what some of these kids are achieving. It's like, go to 607 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.119 bed. Well that's all that. What's your point, right, It's like 608 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:28.239 an old point. I mean, okay, you threw it out the somebody 609 00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:30.280 tests that their kid didn't win a state championship in salth Points won five in 610 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:35.880 a row. The sun will come up tomorrow, it will, It really 611 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.719 will, you know, you know, But anyways, its just just a 612 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:40.920 long I saw that to a long argument that's been going on since, I 613 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:45.239 mean since I was sure in high school, you know, I mean we 614 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.000 all saw a stalth Point that you know as a place where but you know, 615 00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.199 when I was in high school, salth Point wasn't good at everything, 616 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.519 you know, and in fact, they were terrible at some sports. Right, 617 00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:58.360 They're terrible at wrestling. Um, they were okay at baseball. That 618 00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:00.719 was around the time that Ed Bossburg. Can those guys were you know, 619 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:06.719 starting to come through there. Um um there was another guy, um Mark 620 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.559 carry on. You know some of those guys. But you know, they 621 00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:12.880 weren't good at all. They weren't. They were really not good at basketball 622 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.239 for the longest time. I think it was until Jim Flannery went over there, 623 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:17.760 and you know, it ran a program for a long time and they 624 00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.159 got better, but they still didn't win a state championship until just a few 625 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.639 years ago. And that school is decades old. My mother in law, 626 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:30.960 who's eighty something, went there, So you know, I mean, it's 627 00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:35.239 it's it's but it is Steve, as you said, it's unfortunate that, 628 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.280 Yeah, people, you know, get all worked up about the single Send 629 00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:40.920 your kid to a high school that you think that they can succeed at. 630 00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.719 Let him play sports and let him have a good time. Well, and 631 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.440 that's just sports academically is going to be the most important thing at the end 632 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.519 of the day. That's what I think. The advice that your a d 633 00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:54.599 gave Frankie, who's a great kid, I met him for that contest, 634 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.920 Uh, is exactly. And I see this for the NBA and NFL. 635 00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:01.760 If you're good, they will find you. I don't care if you're one, 636 00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:04.679 A, two, A, three, four, whatever you are. 637 00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:07.559 If you're good enough, they will find you. If you're not good enough, 638 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:09.800 you're not gonna you're not good. You're not gonna make They're not spending 639 00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:14.000 millions of dollars just to say, oh, give us a try. Yeah, 640 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:15.320 you know, at the at the big level, at the highest level. 641 00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.119 Absolutely. Anyways, all right, I asked you off off air if 642 00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:25.800 you have a pool one that I used once a year and my kids loved 643 00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:29.519 it well, and that's what they're for. Yeah, but they're all gone. 644 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:31.920 So now I'm just trying to keep the pool from not going green. 645 00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.679 You both, But I've got a beef with the pool industry. Look the 646 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.079 prices for their damn parts. Oh well parts and the little the white, 647 00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.159 the plorine things. But my god, so there's this one part that I've 648 00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:50.599 not had replaced twice. Okay, it's a it's plastic, it's made out 649 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.480 of it's made out of plastic. Probably constant eighty five cents. Man, 650 00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.800 that's an exact dation. Maybe it's three dollars. Okay, it's two hundred 651 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.000 dollars. Okay, I had replaces well back. So now this clamp on 652 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.920 my poolpump, I thought it was busted, but it turned out it was 653 00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.960 not just a bolt on. It was busted. But it's this crapass clamp 654 00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:12.840 that's got this little screw on it that I thought the screw was stripped. 655 00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.480 It on any good you can't just buy the screw. You have to buy 656 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.360 the clamp now. I go, I go online, and this has nothing 657 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.719 to do with sports, by the way. I go online and I see 658 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:24.039 the part for one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty bucks. But 659 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:27.960 I need it now because the pool the pump hasn't been running for a few 660 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:31.840 days and it's going green already. And I'm leaving town on Wednesday. I'm 661 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:35.599 not gonna be if I'm not gonna be able to get the part online before 662 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.400 I leave. So I got to find this part in town. I find 663 00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:44.199 it in town three hundred plus dollars, so more than twice what it is 664 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.360 online. And then you have someone to put it in. Right, No, 665 00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:50.599 I can put it on. But then I found out I had taken 666 00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:52.840 it to, you know, a pool store. And then I find out 667 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.559 there's nothing wrong with the clamp. It's just the bolt got stripped. But 668 00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:59.480 they didn't detect that they were gonna sund me the damn three hundred dollars clamp 669 00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.760 when it was a twenty dollar part that I needed. So you got the 670 00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:06.840 twenty dollars party. But even there, I saw that part online for any 671 00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:12.280 fair from twelve thirteen dollars twenty five bucks here in town. Piss me off. 672 00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:14.880 So if you got a pull, fill it up with dirt. That's 673 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:17.880 what I'm gonna do with mine. I think we all shoot make it into 674 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.239 a planter. Yeah here, anyway, I just had I I've been working 675 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.920 on this all day long. I finally I got the part. I'm pissed 676 00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.000 off, and but I'm gonna get my pools done and it won't be green 677 00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:31.920 in a couple of days. Yeah, okay, Now we get off to 678 00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.400 the Jay rant over the day. What do you think, Jason, Um, 679 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:38.639 I've never had a pool before, so I'm really sure. I was 680 00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:44.000 gonna say, that's just people with money problems. It's its first world problem. 681 00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:46.400 It definitely his first world problems, no doubt about. He was doing 682 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:51.119 a little by little. I saw you. I said, you're going, 683 00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:53.119 what the hell are we talking about? This is not what I signed up 684 00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:58.480 for as an unpaid intern. You listen to this rant about swimming pool. 685 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.559 I had a row with me. He has a pullet. I had a 686 00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:05.679 rant. I just want those guys at the pool store. You know what 687 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:08.000 I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna email them that rant and so hey. But 688 00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:13.480 by the way, we need a pool sponsor, so come on all right, 689 00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.760 so there you go. Anyways, I'm dead, Um, I'm still 690 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.880 fired up about Arizona baseball. Steve. That was it was a fun game 691 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.119 to watch. I watched it in pieces, you know. I was watching 692 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:23.559 it at home, then went to the pull store. So I'm listening to 693 00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:27.400 it in the car and I'm driving across town to my lunch. I'm listening 694 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.400 it in the car. Then we've got it on phones on the table and 695 00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.320 we sat there and watched it and they win the game, and you know, 696 00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:36.000 good for Chip Hale again. Chip. You know, another guy that's 697 00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:38.119 taking a bit of a beating, right, you know, a A bunch 698 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.519 of people have said, you know, he's he was not the guy he's. 699 00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:44.800 You know, it's the same people they're talking about Tommy Lloyd. It's 700 00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:46.960 honestly, and people are just some of those who said that about Kaitlin Lowe. 701 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.559 People just like to complain. I mean, a buddy of mine who 702 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:53.719 calls in and now said the same thing. At least they must have been 703 00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:58.599 losing. When they were losing, they were down, and I'm thinking the 704 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.159 pitching, the pitching who is it worse? And then we'll talk about this 705 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.920 man four minutes who he said, who has it worse the women's pitching or 706 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:07.639 the men's pitching, and the I think, come on, get over this 707 00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.639 really, And then then somebody else texts me they just want yeah, listen 708 00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.679 there, take that, yeah exactly exactly, and the kid there and I 709 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:20.559 will say that. So so they're they're down, um uh, you know, 710 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:22.559 they're they're up. They're up, I think twelve eleven or something. 711 00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:28.840 They're bringing this pitcher he's got a seven point three er. You just go, 712 00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.159 Holly hell, he doesn't. He didn't have any better body better than 713 00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:35.079 that in the bullpen. And then the guy does the job right, he 714 00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:37.599 does, He does the job get you know, doesn't allow anymore runs, 715 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.000 and they win the game Chris Razza, and you feel good about him, 716 00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:44.440 especially when you hear that he was on the you know, on the other 717 00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:47.559 side of two walk offs up at I saw good for him. I saw 718 00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:51.000 those and I didn't watch for him inty games when I saw those two because 719 00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:54.000 just happened to Channel Surf, and I'm thinking, God, how can they 720 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:58.800 blow these leads? They brew a free them whole. I think they had 721 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.079 eight walk off losses this year or something like, didn't that the number? 722 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:05.400 Yeah around, Yeah, sometimes magic happens on the good side. Yeah, 723 00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.239 sometimes, yeah, so you know, but yeah, yeah, I know, 724 00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:13.519 I'm I'm excited for Chiff Hale, feel good about about the baseball team 725 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.400 doing that. And uh, you know, you know what that game between 726 00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:20.840 Oregon and Oregon State, well, Oregon State needs to play to win it 727 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.880 because they can still get into the bracket as a wild card. If they 728 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:28.320 end up one and one as the number two seed the tournament, they'll get 729 00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:30.920 the wild card spot unless Stanford doesn't get in. So we'll see what happens. 730 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:35.800 But anyways, all right, we've got enough time for a quick call. 731 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:38.159 Thanks you Gabriel for calling in before.
