00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.559

4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.199
come to iron the Ball here on
Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve,

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.039
He's Jay. We have Henry with
us today. Two hours of exciting

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.320
sports talk, probably because I'll be
napping the whole two years. You know,

7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.320
you make it like you don't want
to be here today. I'd rather

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.600
be sleeping. It's sleeping. It's
hot, I'm tired. There's too much,

9
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.799
too much stuff to do to be
sleeping. What do you mean,

10
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.880
too much stuff to be Give me
those stuff just what I said, give

11
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.359
me a lift. We're having a
hard time finding guess we are. You

12
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.159
know it. It's the dog days
and subtle, it's the start of the

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.840
summer. You know, people are
doing things. But we pulled the one

14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.719
out of our whatever today we did
to get you some uh fireworks tonight Tucson

15
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.480
Jonathan Frolling ye ye, yep.
He was excited to be on the show

16
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.120
as always. And then since we're
gonna have the ad next week. Right

17
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.079
from an issue, right, I
ThReD we did the hold of Bob Kemp

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.400
to gauge the gauge the last place
finished that they were predicted. Yeah,

19
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.599
wow, we're talking about we're talking
sixteen out of sixteen. Yeah. I

20
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.599
already saw something on the internet Issue
Fan whatever he's called himself that if that

21
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.519
happens, that Dylan Hamm has already
kind of worn out as welcome and I'm

22
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.159
thinking he's been there not even a
year. Well, they're not gonna finish

23
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.200
last, you don't think so.
No, who's gonna finish last? I

24
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.599
don't know, but not that really
well, they got some players this year.

25
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.480
He did, he did the other
schools players. Do you know I

26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.799
think? I mean, somebody's gotta
finish last, right, Someone is this

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.680
Jay Henry. He's always poopoo on
an issue, But not because against Steve.

28
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.359
I just think it's it's wow.
I think it's it's the it's the

29
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.400
Big twelve media not giving the four
the four new teams any respect. I

30
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.959
want some of that action, but
you'd have to give me some odds.

31
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.479
I think, Yeah, no,
because I'm not gonna bet you that because

32
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.439
they're not have to rook for them, and I don't want to do reverse,

33
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.879
like want to get god doing that? Okay, that they'll just blow

34
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.800
my whole in. I don't know
what the bottom of the barrel looks like.

35
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.080
But they're gonna be there, well
yeah, I mean, do I

36
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.319
finish? Do I think they're gonna
be one of the bottom four teams?

37
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.759
Probably? I just think Kenny Dillingham
has shown he's he can I think what

38
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.960
Look, he's he's the same.
He's their version of Brent Brannan, right,

39
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.159
A guy who wants to be there, right, A guy who really

40
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.719
cares about the place he's I mean, he's recruited some guys, you know,

41
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.879
I don't know. I just don't. I just don't feel like they're

42
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.280
they're gonna be the last place team
got you, okay? You know it

43
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.240
was one thing to finish last when
you were in the Pac twelve when they

44
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.199
were only twelve teams. Yeah.
Now if you're the last out of sixteen,

45
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.639
how far back are you? That's
bad? It's bad. That's a

46
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.319
lot. Or if finished, if
you're you know, if you're eighteenth in

47
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.719
the in the in the Big ten, No, No, it's bad as

48
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.520
much as it's not that great of
a conference for football, you know,

49
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.800
it's not maybe top heavy, but
it doesn't have a cow anymore. Yeah,

50
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.039
I guess I don't know how a
Washington State, you know. I

51
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.439
guess I don't know who the really
bad teams are in the Big twelve,

52
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.439
right right, right, right,
that's part of it. I don't know.

53
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.800
I think it's a premature evaluation on
both our part of premature what evaluation

54
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.879
And that was purposely said, premature
evaluation on our part because not knowing and

55
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.759
the media over there not knowing.
Right, That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

56
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.240
you're you're right. So I don't
know. Maybe maybe they will,

57
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.680
maybe maybe they won't. I don't
know. I don't know. It's gonna

58
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.120
take another year or two. Obviously, I think you know, he's gonna

59
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.400
have to pay the jet fish of
the of the issue where they kind of

60
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.280
rolls into it and then all of
a sudden, boom it happens. Right,

61
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.080
So we'll see, we'll see.
Yeah, so we had Bob Campbell,

62
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.120
will have him out for that.
I think we're gonna talk a little

63
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.800
about, uh so, maybe some
sun stuff because the sons, who knows

64
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.919
what they're doing up there with the
basketball team and diving back. So just

65
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.479
cover it all up there. Yeah, because in fact we'll have the a

66
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.680
D do you know when probably the
Friday. Well he's he's gonna be a

67
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.199
big twelve im mediateday next week.
So we our friend Doug Tamro said he's

68
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.680
gonna he's trying to line him up
for Thursday Friday next week. Okay,

69
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.319
cool. You know, look again, I'm gonna be friendly to him,

70
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.879
right, That's the first thing I'm
not gonna. I'm not gonna bring a

71
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.879
guest on even though he's from a
s U and you know, be mean

72
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.000
to the guy. Uh you know, it's not even the seats, not

73
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.000
even warm. What are they going
through? Right? Because here, look,

74
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.800
you know we're okay with it because
we feel pretty good about where Arizona.

75
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.560
You know, as an Arizona fan, you know we think Arizona's gonna

76
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.040
be very competitive in football. We
know they're gonna be very competitive in basketball

77
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.920
the other sport. You know,
Uh, Pat forty did you see Pat

78
00:04:53.920 --> 00:05:00.279
forties call him? He did a
column about sort of the I don't know

79
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.800
prognosis is the right word, but
just got every team that's moving into a

80
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.720
new conference. What do they bring? Right? And so you know he

81
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.920
you know, he mentioned the Arizona
sports. You know, football was ten

82
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.240
and three and finished third. You
know, basketball won the league, you

83
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.759
know, and then they ran through
as you know, their their their football

84
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.079
team was terrible, their basketball team
was under five hundred, their baseball team

85
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.560
wasn't very good, didn't make the
tournament. You know, all those things.

86
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.399
You think, what's their perspective.
We're you know, we're okay about

87
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.480
moving over there, and we're kind
of excited about it because we think Arizona's

88
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.120
gonna be competitive probably in most sports, you know, certainly tennis, certainly

89
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.319
golf, you know, and then
you know the two major sports. Obviously

90
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.920
they feel good about women's basketball,
you feel good about baseball. If you're

91
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.920
an RCU fan, how do you
feel if you're going over there and you're

92
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.160
limping along with your program? And
that's going to be interesting to see what

93
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.040
their perspective. Limping along is a
good phrase. Henry. You came from

94
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.519
Sheboy in New York, connected in
you or wherever in New York, Manhattan,

95
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.480
New York probably right? What brought
you here? Sports? I wanted

96
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.680
to go to the school that's sports. So you didn't even think about an

97
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.920
issue. No I did. I
was, you're a su in Oregon,

98
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.439
so okay. But when I toured
SUS too big, so okay, okay.

99
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.240
So yeah, So then that's kind
of the appeal, right because they're

100
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.319
competitive. They're competitive in a lot
of the sports. It's a good place

101
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.439
to live. It's a good place
if it's it's a fun part of your

102
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.279
social life, right. You know. I think when most people say they

103
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.680
want sports, they don't really care
if it's that good. They just want

104
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.680
like a football team and basketball team
and stuff like that. M hmm.

105
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.920
Well, you could have gotten to
Oregon. It would have been a great

106
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.439
campus, great college place. But
you can landed here. You haven't been

107
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.000
on did you go to did you? I can't remember. You said you

108
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.879
haven't been to campus in a while. Any issue, you haven't been a

109
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.399
long time. Don't go there.
It's a city. It's a it's a

110
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.399
little city of unbelievable. Look,
it's all over the place. Yeah,

111
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.839
well you know town. You know
we went to we went to uh when

112
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.879
we had the final four. We
went to dinner, you know, over

113
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.920
there off of Mill Avenue. And
I don't know what you know, and

114
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.160
there's the journalism school, right and
the campus is the way the hell over

115
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.959
there, you know stuff in downtown. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, because

116
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.560
it's right there. Yeah, so
you know yeah, I mean I could

117
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.720
see you know. I mean it's
ACU. Doesn't feel Arizona has always been,

118
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.399
you know, it's just this place. Arizona's a place, right,

119
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.319
It's it's a campus. It's kind
of Yeah, there's pieces of it on

120
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.240
the north side of Speedway, on
the south side of sixth Street, you

121
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.560
know, but in general, when
you think about the Arizona campus, you

122
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.600
think, you know, Speedway to
sixth Street, Campbell to euclid or Park

123
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.639
that it's a beautiful campus. Yes, but so you think about it being

124
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.480
in a central place. ACE is
not that. No, No, it's

125
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.160
a it's a big seventy five thousand
people going to school there. Whatever it

126
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.439
is, Okay, So we look
forward to that with Bob camp who will

127
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.199
have a little fun with always do
uh and then talk about peerlman. They

128
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.680
have the fire the fireworks tonight and
all that. I mean, do we

129
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.079
talk to to Tucsons who are it's
about a month ago or something like that,

130
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.240
they have anything clime with it because
it's so slim pickings here that it's

131
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.000
hard to see. Uh fireworks.
Yeah here, I'm sure the casino has

132
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.360
it. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.
Yeah, and it's already July. Jay,

133
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.399
it's already July, and a month
we're we're doing football tomorrows July fourth.

134
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.360
Man, it's lot you know,
this is where kind of you start

135
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.759
to get the feel of it,
right, yeah, you get pack.

136
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.720
I feel like you get after July
the fourth. Now it's kind of like,

137
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.759
okay, yeah, we're you know, we're gonna start getting serious about

138
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.920
this stuff right well, and then
because football starts like late July, late

139
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.679
July, right, practice starts,
and then uh in a month later the

140
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.519
game start and then here we go, yeah, here we go. Are

141
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.440
you you're when does the school start? August twenty something? August? It

142
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.279
doesn't come soon enough. You just
kind of wait to chill. Yeah,

143
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.519
yeah, okay, what else?
A lot of things I'm sure a lot

144
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.080
of things going on at Uba or
not maybe not a lot of things going

145
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.480
on at you it's kind of very
very much so you know, so we're

146
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.679
having again, we're having trouble finding
people, right, you know, because

147
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.679
everyone's gone. Yeah, everyone's gone, and we want to make it relevant

148
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.120

just again just beating the bushes for
people and just finding out different things.

200
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.960
I you know, got some interesting
information. They can't can't talk about it.

201
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.679
But you know, people are all
worked up about something that they don't

202
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.679
need to be working, right,
I'll just say that. Let me let

203
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.480
me say this. I saw a
game. I saw the highlights last nay

204
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.080
the Dodgers, Oh yeah, and
show he hits that home run, and

205
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.080
I think it. I don't know
why it doesn't happen more often, But

206
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.639
the kid gets bumped in the head
because okay, got hit because on the

207
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.679
home run, the towering home run, people grabbing it and it didn't know

208
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.480
nobody got it and some kid was
sitting there and Boom hit him on there.

209
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.240
Oh I didn't see that. I'm
surprised it doesn't happen more often.

210
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.519
Yeah, you know, with people
grabbing, grabbing and hit somebody in the

211
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.080
face or something. I love the
ones where like a guy has got a

212
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.000
baby on the front and a pack, you know, make the catch one

213
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.399
handed and hold his beer. That
happens a lot. Yeah, this kid,

214
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.320
Tobio got hit in the head,
but you know it's still watching it.

215
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.320
No, no, boom, you
kind of google it, Okay,

216
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.320
because I was watching the game.
Obviously, I hit another four teamer with

217
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.080
that one last night a four laker, same thing as I did the other

218
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.600
night. And again I never should
have won that because the Dodgers were losing

219
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.039
in the top of the ninth,
came back and went in the bottom of

220
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:13.360
you again, I've got this little
Here's here's my gambling tip of the day

221
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.240
for all you out there. My
gambling tip of the day. I love.

222
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.360
I picked three guys to get a
base hit. Then I picked the

223
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.159
Dodgers to either win the game or
cover the spread. And so I had

224
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.200
I had Shohy and Freddy Freeman,
and I had Andy Pie has the rookie,

225
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.879
and and go to the eighth,
the game's tied. Pie has was

226
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.639
oh for four, oh for three, got he gets his base hit.

227
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.279
So I got my three guys.
But then they fall behind, and uh,

228
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.000
the Dodgers down five four going to
the bottom of the ninth, and

229
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.879
then they win the game. So
I hit it. So I've hit two

230
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.200
of those in a row. Now, So Henry your journalist, right,

231
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039
So if if someone tells you this
or that, check out his fourte you

232
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.799
better make sure that he's telling you
the truth. The four teamer, because

233
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.679
you know we live we're in a
world of I did this check is fourteen.

234
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.960
If you want to see it,
you want to see it, I'll

235
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.840
show it to you. I will
show I trust you on this one.

236
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.679
I'll bring on my accountant show it
to you. What did you put on

237
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.600
it? Ten bucks? Yeah?
What? What was it? Yeah?

238
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.320
It was too okay, So it
seemed like you could have been done.

239
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.840
The only thing you sweated was the
game? Was the game? Yeah?

240
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.919
Well yeah, I mean I was
sweating the hits too. But then when

241
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.320
Pie has got his hit and I
just need the Dodgers to win the game,

242
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.840
yeah, both, and then they
did, which is cool. I'll

243
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.919
take that every time. It's fun, you know, it's a it's a

to do this because you know, it's

245
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.240

game and I'm rooting for stuff and rooting

for them to you know, get
base hits, and I'm rooting for them

John Prolman, HELDEFCI Tucsons. John,

329
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.119
how are you gee? You great
to be on Jay? How are

330
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.279
you, buddy? We're good,
Man, We're good? How are you

331
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.039
good? Good? Is too little
bit warm? But tonight well, you

332
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.759
can always change your season to this
winter, right, you can always change

333
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.599
You're not gonna do that, No, not all good johns. Let me

334
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.759
ask you. Is today one of
the bigger nights of a season for you

335
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.640
guys? Yeah, it's it's our
it's our biggest, you know, regular

336
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.319
season game of the season. Always
the third of July has been a massive

337
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:14.039
celebration of obviously Tucson soccer and uh, of course you know with us,

338
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.640
you know, these end of these
July games are really the difference between postseason

339
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.119
and not postseason again. Just like
last year, this game was massively big.

340
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.839
We're in second place right now,
in playoff position, with control of

341
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.039
our own destiny, and it's a
great fireworks show and it's one of those

342
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.200
pits where it's you love to be
out there and you love to be part

343
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.319
of the fans fare tonight because it's
going to be great soccer and just a

344
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.720
lot of fun. So you're you've
been building up to this for a while.

345
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.359
Now, what what's you know?
What's been the makeup of what you're

346
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.359
doing so far? What? What
the character of your team or the characteristic

347
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.240
of your team? What? What? What? What are you? The

348
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.200
team is super talented and it's really
a team that can beat you so many

349
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.400
different ways. Right now, we
have our you know, we've had injuries

350
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.400
in the front line, and we
had we switched a player to the number

351
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:14.079
nine, Ilian Aguilar, and Ilian's
broken the team record with six goals in

352
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.240
six games, which is now a
new team record, and he's been in

353
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.680
great for him and William Arniston is
a league leader in points total points for

354
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.079
the USL And you know, for
us again, we've had just tremendous performances

355
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:33.440
from local players like DeAndre Pickett will
be starting tonight and Brandon Sanchez, and

356
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.200
you know, it's just great to
have those guys like Gego Belize, the

357
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.119
guys are from Tucson on that team, contributing, Jared Allen and just we're

358
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.880
excited for a big performance sight obviously
play Arizon Arsenal, who's our rival from

359
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.720
Phoenix. We already won the Golden
Sorow Trophy, which is a combination of

360
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.599
our women's team, our youth academy
games, and our men's team, so

361
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:59.200
we already raised that trophy. But
again, tonight's about playoffs. You know,

362
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.240
we win the next three and we're
in, so it's very clear what

363
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.920
the target is. We have the
talent, we've got a great head coach

364
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.960
at Sebastian Pinedo who's really got the
team playing at Sebasta the key moments of

365
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.519
the season right now. But it's
a tough conference and uh there's a lot

366
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.400
of teams stacked up very close,
so you can't drop points at home.

367
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.000
So we're not going to do that
and we're going to celebrate with a big

368
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.960
fireworks display tonight. Hopefully the fireworks
will start early, Hopefully in the first

369
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.880
ninety minutes. So let me ask
you, you must be by the sound

370
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.759
of the voice and you're in the
successful part. The move to leagues has

371
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.079
been a good one. Yeah,
I mean for us again, you know,

372
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.039
when we look at it overall,
like I said, for US,

373
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.799
League two was somewhere we were able
to really you know, showcase our amateur

374
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.559
players here, our top amateur players
across the country and especially Tucson players in

375
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:49.960
League one. Obviously for us to
return there, which we'd like to do

376
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.559
as an organization, if it fits
the model, you know, it's going

377
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:59.079
to require a lot of upgrades on
our current venue or a different venue that

378
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.920
really has kind of that uh,
that swagger to it to really draw the

379
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.200
uh, the non soccer fan.
But as as we operate in the summer

380
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.799
with our fantastic partners at the Stadium
District, we've we've had the best summer

381
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.960
we've had. We they have great
new management there. They've done an incredible

382
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.680
job of elevating our platform. And
uh, you know what it's like,

383
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.839
Steve, You've got to have the
kids. Now, you got to get

384
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:23.880
on the TikTok, you know,
the dirt. So I got smart people

385
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.480
doing smart things you have Jade to
help you with that. He's dancing with

386
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:36.400
his girls. My TikTok game is
just like my vernacular. It's mid.

387
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.799
Uh. We're just going to keep
me away from that, and my job

388
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.359
is just to keep the guys going. We just have a great front office

389
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.519
right now, and a great technical
staff and a great women's team who's sitting

390
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.440
in second place as well. So
it's it's been a wonderful celebratory summer and

391
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.279
we want to keep doing that.
Momentum going, okay, cool, Uh,

392
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.359
how many people would you expect?
I'm sure you so get a pretty

393
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.799
good crowd, right. You still
have the Defend Club. I don't want

394
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.160
to send their names, you know, I mean, yeah, the Captain

395
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.519
Pricks. You know, we haven't
seen them, but they tend to come

396
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.160
out on the big fourth of July. And as we get closer to the

397
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.640
playoffs, we get you know,
we have a good we have a good

398
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.359
loud supporter section right now. But
for us, I mean again, you're

399
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.720
looking right now. We're hoping somewhere
between you know, seventeen hundred and two

400
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.359
thousand tonight for this, so that
will be massive for us, and the

401
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.640
tickets are flying out the door right
now. So if you just go online,

402
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.359
buy them before you get here because
it's always a longer wait and you

403
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.359
want to get in quick, get
scanned. So uh FC two Sun dot

404
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.440
Com seven o'clock kickoff, Keno North
Stadium Fireworks show after you know, John,

405
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.640
I we're coming over here and Steve
and I've been complaining about the heat

406
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.279
and whatnot with the teams that are
in the league. Is there any advantage

407
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.799
for you guys? Is whether a
factor for you guys? Does it help?

408
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.559
Does it you know, what's what's
that piece of it? Gay?

409
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.799
Great question. The answer is it
does help. And I tend to schedule

410
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.640
home, have schedule on the second
part of the summer. I really want

411
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.559
to finish off at home in the
heat. So the hard part is we've

412
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:10.039
had two games at home which we
performed tremendously, but there's been a little

413
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:14.000
rainstorm before, so it was like
the two nicest days to be out there.

414
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.720
I mean we had these like two
games it was like eighty three,

415
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.440
eighty four degrees, and I was
thrilled for myself, for the fans who

416
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.279
were there, but for the team
they were playing, you know, a

417
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.279
California team, but right now when
you're playing Arizona Arsenal tonight from Phoenix,

418
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.160
that's not where the advantages come.
It's got to be on the quality of

419
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.799
the player. But in the last
two games we have at home, absolutely

420
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.799
I'm hoping you can't. You can't
get hot enough for me other than I

421
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.920
want our fans to be comfortable.
They can do that through alcohol. You

422
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.720
got to sell that stuff, exactly. So, John, you talked about

423
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.920
maybe moving up in the near future
or whatever, but the venue has that

424
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.920
been talked about? Yeah, we've
We've had a lot of ongoing discussions with

425
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.359
a lot of parties and you know, obviously you know the challenges and again

426
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.599
we're certainly not analogous, but you
know, and I'd like in our operation

427
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:10.720
to a very community friendly one.
But obviously the loss of the uh the

428
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.480
fact that we were able to keep
the h GCC going and keep the road

429
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.279
Runners here I have to do with
the quality of the venue and what what

430
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.799
the you know, Rionuevo and everyone
here in Tuson is being able to do

431
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:25.960
to keep that team. Conversely,
obviously the Arizona Coyotes could not play in

432
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:27.799
that arena that they were in and
they couldn't get a new one pass that

433
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:33.519
would allow them fiscally to meet their
goals and meet the league's expectations. So

434
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.319
Keeno North Stadium is a wonderful venue. The county is a great partner.

435
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.720
We're upgrading the the concession area this
this winter. It's going to be amazing.

436
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.640
But what's hard is you really need
feedbacks, you need sweeps, you

437
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.480
need a deal that makes it makes
sense for a long term. So we're

438
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.000
working all towards that. I you
know more, we've got to find a

439
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.880
venue with another partner, a big
partner, whether it's you know, downtown

440
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.960
or it's with the univer that also
has a need where it can solve to

441
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.559
people's problems. So all those conversations
are undoing, and for me, it's

442
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.720
continuing to diligently do that by looking
at our company where it is, which

443
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.039
is healthy right now, the healthiest
it's been. So we just have to

444
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.920
find the right partner in the right
then you if you're going to make that

445
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:26.400
step in that next level investment,
did you John, when you were I

446
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.960
don't know, twenty years younger.
I think I probably I probably knew you

447
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.359
then, if not before that,
and you were a coach on the East

448
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.880
Side. I think it was in
the Sabino tankoverty area. Did you imagine

449
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.000
yourself doing exactly what you're doing now
or did this you know, did you

450
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.839
fall into it because I always thought
of you as a coach. Yeah,

451
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.759
I mean, I think the thing
what happened, to be honest with you,

452
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.839
was, you know, I was
very much as a coach in the

453
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.960
year. I can remember very clearly
when we were looking at you know,

454
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.759
twenty ten. I really was happy
where I was as a coach, and

455
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.319
I was ready for the next challenge. So it was looking very much like

456
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.960
I was going to go into the
college ranks. There was an opportunity at

457
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:10.039
Saint Mary's University in the WCC to
be an assistant coach, and the wife

458
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.680
and I were looking at places,
and then, you know, I had

459
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:18.279
the opportunity to do this and to
be part of FCT John's first opportunity.

460
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.920
So it wasn't my goal. My
goal was to be a coach, and

461
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.240
I was halfway through my master's degree
because I thought that was the way that

462
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:27.599
the world was going. So this
kind of was a u turn for me

463
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.799
on the business side of it,
you know, again, it was something

464
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.359
we all learned on the fly,
Greg Rick myself, you know, we

465
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:41.319
just learned about people hadn't done preseason
soccer before, people hadn't really monetized the

466
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:44.519
League two team before, and so
it was kind of learned as you go.

467
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.799
That really wasn't a template to go
from. But yeah, I mean

468
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.240
I still see myself as a coach. I was on the sideline with the

469
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:53.480
academy team today, I'm a technical
director. I was with a U fourteen

470
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:59.880
ECNL team this last weekend in San
Diego fighting against Seattle United to advance out

471
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:03.200
of our group. So yeah,
I'm still doing the coaching. It's it's

472
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.000
my greatest passion. But I want
to do as much as I can possible

473
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.680
for the overall soccer community here.
If that means serving as a president and

474
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.240
running a Elite two team and having
a pro level academy at U twenty and

475
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.359
doing these types of things with the
women's team, I'm happy to do that

476
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.640
because I want there to be a
legacy here when I'm gone and something for

477
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.799
people to enjoy and aspire to,
no matter what level we end up being

478
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.720
at. Finally, so yeah,
I'm a coach at heart. There's no

479
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.720
question, and I still do plenty
of coaching. Well, it kind of

480
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.720
coincides with with the time with Beckham
here. You know in the in that

481
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.599
thing you had the copa I can't
remember what it was called. In February

482
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:45.079
or something like that. You have
a diamond cop I love it, Yeah,

483
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.960
because that's when kind of all the
hoopla started at that level. Did

484
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.039
you did you not have it or
did you have it? This year?

485
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:55.519
And we did. We had a
pre season, but we only had one

486
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:59.240
MLS game. So right now we
just had a bunch of meetings to we're

487
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.799
looking to bring back a four team
MLS tournament. We're looking for that Cup

488
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:06.599
again. But like I said,
we've had some big players in there.

489
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:11.000
Obviously, there's a little guy who's
pretty famous. I think it's a layout

490
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.799
something. He's playing Forriner Miami and
so they're doing a lot of stuff down

491
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.480
in South Florida. And then you
know with Coachell, that's the owner of

492
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:23.319
the Galaxy, Philanshoots has a property
in Coachelle where he's invited all of his

493
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.039
MLS friends to play there. So
we have to create an incentive and we

494
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.519
have to have a situation where it's
a good fit for MLS teams to come

495
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.400
here again with all that competition out
there. So we're working really hard with

496
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:41.079
PMA County and with another company that
it directs teams where to go for preseason.

497
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.559
So I'm hoping to have some big
announcements in the next couple of months.

498
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.759
Okay, great, and maybe lastly, can you kind of remind everybody

499
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.640
how to see tonight's matchup and who
to get tickets? Yeah again, tonight

two oh four, one, six
seventy four forty. You're going out to

554
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.719
celebrate the fourth tonight tomorrow. I
was just asking is Deil Saul having a

555
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.920
firework place. I couldn't find it. Typically they have it on the third

556
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:59.280
I think that's why Jonathan probably said
that they're the premiere firecracker. Well there,

557
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:01.840
I mean, there's a few places
right, you know, like like

558
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.599
over by our house. You know, we're She's country club does a big

559
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:09.039
thing and so we you know,
we we if we want to, we

560
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.280
can go just take a little walk
on the other side of the houses.

561
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.079
And that's always that's always good.
One time we did a really dumb thing

562
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:21.639
and we all got up on the
roof, including our little kids. We're

563
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.679
fine, but now they think about
it's probably not very smart thing to do

564
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:28.159
because because little kids up on the
roof and trying to get them off the

565
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:31.840
roof, but that's spilling them into
the back here because it was getting down.

566
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:38.280
Yeah, exactly. The mount I
don't know, haven't heard doesn't Yeah,

567
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:40.719
I haven't heard it. The mountain
doesn't. Star Pass used to do

568
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:44.679
them. I don't know if there's
still soul. And then up in the

569
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.840
up in the hills where I'm at, uh, the up in over Cole

570
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:57.800
Overvell and that area has their own
bunch of fighters. They sometimes some remember

571
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.440
they burned down the mountain that one
year. Yeah, I was that because

572
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:04.320
yeah, it was a fireworks thing. I literally burned them out eight mountain.

573
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.000
Yes, I was thinking one on
on the hill up on an oracle,

574
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.599
the the push ridge up there.
Yeah, no, that was that

575
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:14.400
was like that was a light strike. Okay, that was a lightness I

576
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.519
thought, because it was okay,
be safe, yes, be safe.

577
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.599
Okay, And we go on to
coll please do fifteen minutes five to four,

578
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.320
one, six, seventy four forty. Uh, lot's going on,

579
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.719
a lot going on. What else
is going on? But well, you

580
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:36.320
know, just's still so much uncertainty
about what's going on at the U of

581
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.679
A right, right talking about that
all the time. You know, it's

582
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.079
a big deal to me because you
know, my son's and employee of the

583
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.159
u A I should say, was
and you know that all that whole situation

584
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:50.880
just a lot of I'm gonna ask
you a question that may or may not

585
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.920
be answered or want to be answered. I'll think about my answer in a

586
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.960
second. But a lot of change
and change, uh it comes about with

587
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:08.400
bad blood or feeling sometimes. And
I don't I don't envy desiree. I

588
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:13.119
think part of her job to come
in was to not so much clean house,

589
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.679
but to do some cleaning of house
because they had to anyway, right,

590
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.760
because of the salaries and stuff like
that, they had to. And

591
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:23.199
again what they've been doing all this
time has not been working correct, right,

592
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:24.960
right, you know, it got
them in the trouble that they're in

593
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.280
exactly, so it'd be justified to
do it. But we may or may

594
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.760
not know some people that are coming
and going, and I know that,

595
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.760
you know there's certain people there no
names, that are scared and unhappy.

596
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.760
Am I You got the same vibe? Yeah, oh there are you know.

597
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.199
And again and there's just a feeling
that it wasn't their fault, but

598
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.079
it kind of was right, And
there's some people in there's some people in

599
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.679
positions who could have kept all this
stuff from happening, and they didn't and

600
00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:00.239
so well. In fact, I
can for you say who because I don't

601
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:05.159
remember the whom, but it was
treated And I just throlut this for a

602
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.239
while now and I've been gone,
I've been covered the team for twenty three

603
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.480
years. The paper clothes that would
do it from other sources that it was

604
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:14.480
kind of like a country club rent
kind of like a country club. I

605
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.719
don't know if you feel that way, almost almost like they had unlimited credit

606
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:22.199
card, right right, No,
no, you felt that too. In

607
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.960
some ways there were, but like
in other ways there weren't. Like,

608
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:28.800
for instance, they don't pay their
stack creed. They give, they give

609
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.199
you, but I've done it because
it's it's fun. But you know,

610
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.840
there's little things and they you know, well, we can't do that because

611
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.960
we don't have money to do something
like right, and then you go,

612
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.599
okay, you know. But but
on the other hand, there were some

613
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.480
things going on over there. They're
just well, that's funny because I won't

614
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.079
say to whom, because you know, we're in the press conference at the

615
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.800
end of games and it's rare that
they give us stats anymore, the paper

616
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:52.679
SATs, you know, and before
they just hand them out. Yeah,

617
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.559
we stopped printing stats at the table
a long time exactly. It says,

618
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.639
come on, I'm an old dude, I'm an old school I need the

619
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:00.679
stats in front of me. I'm
not gonna get them like Peter until go

620
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:01.719
home and run. And they said
no, and they said no, becast

621
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:07.199
money. I'm thinking I've seen guys
travel all over the country. You're not

622
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.800
worried about money that way, but
you won't give me a statue. It

623
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:15.320
doesn't make sense. I'm out.
I'll tell you the story. I mean,

624
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:20.239
we went. We had a little
of that because, uh, you

625
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.159
know, a statu sheet for the
press room at the basketball games. They

626
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:25.440
said, we're just taking a printramid. That's what I'm talking about. Is

627
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.159
that where you're talking about exactly what
I'm talking about you in basketball? Okay?

628
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:34.000
Yeah, they they And you want
to see the numbers we print?

629
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.320
We now only print stats for the
coaching staffs. Yeah, that's it.

630
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.760
And thankfully I had your daughter who
likes me appreciate it. Can you sneak

631
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.400
me one? And she would,
Rachel, would you know because of you,

632
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:52.280
she's not working there anymore. Give
me one right away and kind of

633
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.400
give the rest out to the kid, the kids on the podium because still

634
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:59.679
I'm not going to fire up my
computer and see see who did what.

635
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.760
But but it was funny. It
was funny because oh, I've seen traveling

636
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.880
party of one thousand. I was
standing there when that decision got made,

637
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.960
and it was like, we're not
handing out paper anymore. We're just not

638
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.679
everybody can get it on their phones
and their iPads, and we're just not

639
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.320
gonna hand out paper anymore. Yeah, oh we're killing trees, Steve,

640
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:23.039
But give me a paper. And
I see all these people traveling to Duke

641
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:27.880
to everywhere. I'm thinking, well, we have actually we give you know,

642
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.400
we give crap to visiting teams who
want more than five or six stats

643
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.760
at timeouts to go, how many
coaches do you have? You don't you

644
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.840
don't need ten, and they're gonna
be by twenty Those stats don't get there,

645
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:38.880
you don't need you know, you
don't need ten of these. How

646
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.559
about how about we give you six? Now. On the other hand,

647
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.360
the U of a bitch gets ten. They get their ten because the entourage.

648
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:52.159
Holy moly, Yeah, you know
it's big, it's big, but

649
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.280
it's it's it's it's fun. Let's
say it's funny because little things like,

650
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.480
you know, like we should joke
with my mom that she would you know,

651
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.079
you know, drive across town to
save a nickel on the candatuna right.

652
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.159
Well, no, my mob was
gas yeah, gas too. Yeah,

653
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.199
she she'd go pat, you know, there'd be it would be you

654
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:12.880
know, well in our day,
right, it'd be twenty eight cents a

655
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.400
gallon. Would I'm not paying twenty
eight cents a gallon, I'm gonna go

656
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:21.320
pay twenty six or spend the money
to get the money. No, kind

657
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.559
of far as that goes, Yeah, it's kind of funny, but you

658
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:30.079
know, it's it's just that's on
my mind a lot right now. You

659
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.000
know, uh, just you know, because we're going through some stuff there

660
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.039
as a family, and it's it's
I'm sure it's not a it's not a

661
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:37.440
light thing. It's a big thing. Yeah, you know, having been

662
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:40.360
having been the paper closed and you
have to kind of figure out what you're

663
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.079
gonna do and who's gonna hire you, what are you gonna look bub That

664
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.320
ain't easy. No, it's not. It's not. It's hard, and

665
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:51.599
uh so, well, you know, we'll, uh we just keep battling

666
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:52.480
through it. And it's kind of
on our minds a lot right now because

667
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.599
we're not you know, we're not
going to football games on the weekend,

668
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:58.599
we don't have basketball, there's nothing
going on as far as all that stuff.

669
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:01.960
But it's like everybody's mind is on
that, and it's kind of its

670
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.960
kind of it gives you time to
think because you're not active. Right,

671
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:07.960
it's kind of tough. So but
you know, we are where we are,

672
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:12.280
so we'll, you know, we'll
get there. We'll get through it.

673
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.159
You know, in in less than
a month, we'll have like we'll

674
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.880
start seeing guys and pads and stuff
like that. I'm trying to figure out

675
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:22.199
whom I'm gonna ask for paper stuff. Yeah, well, because your daughter's

676
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:25.199
out there and football. They don't
really do it either. It's it's kind

677
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.360
of theytop doing that. Ye yeah, it's kind of like you find it,

678
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.360
you find it. Yeah, it
makes no sense. I know it's

679
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.079
old school, but still yeah,
no, you know, yeah, they

680
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.920
just stop. I mean, god, the thousands of stuff that we I

681
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.000
mean, the pages and pages and
pages, I mean there were I mean

682
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:44.280
even even so still again, I
don't know if if anybody's bored by this,

683
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.719
but when we print stats at a
time out, we usually print twenty

684
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.000
to twenty five because we give them
out. You know, Brian Jefferies and

685
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:57.199
Ryan Hansen get one. They're the
busy radio gets one. Coaching staff send

686
00:43:57.239 --> 00:43:59.760
some across the way to the TV
guys, you know, and I'll tell

687
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:01.960
you what. The first time we
don't get one across to the TV guys,

688
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.679
you hear are coming back? Where
the hell is my stats? I'm

689
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:07.760
like, sure, I see your
iPad in front of you. Yeah,

690
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.360
you know, I see it there. I can see it from here,

691
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:14.599
you know. And then they still
want there, they still like you.

692
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:20.039
They're old supposed. Yeah. It's
like the newspaper. Some of us of

693
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.400
the age read the news. I
read this. When was the last time

694
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:24.159
you held the newspaper? And let
me tell you a story. Uh had

695
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:29.159
to be ten days ago. And
and I went to pay for it,

696
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:32.280
is like three bucks, I said, three paper, What the hell?

697
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:36.800
And then Sunday's five bucks. I
said, no, wonder the papers are

698
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.559
folded. Who's gonna pay five bucks
for a newspaper? I went to.

699
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:44.119
I went to a doctor's office.
It was a new doctor, you know.

700
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:45.719
I got a new doctor who she
has no idea what she's in for.

701
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.519
But I got a new doctor.
And there was a newspaper sitting there,

702
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:51.159
and I picked it up and I
looked at it, and I'm like,

703
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.840
wow, pretty thin coolin it's thin
thin, right, not a lot

704
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.119
in it, right, And it's
old, it's and it's old, yes,

705
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.119
And I had read a lot of
it already, right, so that's

706
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.320
that's the problem with that with the
newspapers today, and obviously it's killed him,

707
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.840
but I couldn't. And the price
is the price three three bucks for

708
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.639
something you and what are you gonna
know that you don't already know? You

709
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.400
know? And kind of I'm sorry
to say this too on because we make

710
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.239
mistakes all the time, you know, mispronounced, do this, do that.

711
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.039
There's a lot of editing mistakes in
the paper where they don't have editors

712
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:28.000
anymore well because and most of them
are not local, they're in Schenectady who

713
00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:30.119
don't know how to spell aina or
say I know or saw what he does.

714
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:36.559
Well, Our friend Mark Kimball is
notorious on Facebook watch pulling stuff out

715
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:40.320
and you know that man he spells
You know that the star says tucscon in

716
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:44.280
you know, in the paper.
So you know, I don't know Mark's

717
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.119
listening or if he listens to us, but a lot of people who listen

718
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.360
to us. Do you know Mark
and know that you know he's a former

719
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.159
editor and he you know, he's
you know, he calls people out on

720
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.840
that or have the headlines and the
wrong stories and things like that. Yeah,

721
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:59.920
you know, one of my favorite
ones gave of that and again going

722
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.559
telling old war stories. There was
because you know, back when they should

723
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.079
just do a lot of stuff were
just okay, we got to hold a

724
00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:13.039
spot. You remember that the newspaper
was then there's a Daily Star one day

725
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:17.440
and there was a guy that got
somebody had been had been arrested for some

726
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.960
big crime and he was this big
bald black guy with a big giant hoop

727
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:25.800
ear ring and they had a mug
shot of him. Okay, well,

728
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:30.719
somebody in the back room put that
mug shot on four other stories where they

729
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:34.599
were supposed to be the same size
mug shot, you know, and then

730
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.880
they're supposed to replace him, right, and one of them was a story

731
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.360
about Queen Elizabeth. Well they got
into the newspaper and so there was there

732
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:47.559
were five pictures of this guy and
all five of them got in. Yeah,

733
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.880
it was before they computerized the layouts, you know when they were when

734
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.360
they were you know, printing out
the stuff and then pasting painting on the

735
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.000
on the on the pages. And
somebody put five of those and then forgot

736
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.159
to take them all out, and
one of them was a story about Queen

737
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:07.880
Elizabeth. So there's Queen Elizabeth for
a day was a big ball black guy

738
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:15.000
with a big giang golden spearing years. Yeah, those the newspapers had good

739
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:16.559
old days. Yeah, but I
couldn't. I couldn't believe it. Three

740
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.840
dollars, five dollars. Yeah,
you know, I I guess. Yeah.

741
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:22.840
I picked up that paper and I
didn't look to see how much it

742
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.800
costs. I just looked at it
the recent Uh yeah, a couple of

743
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:29.320
weeks ago. So it's about three
bucks. Yeah, weeks ago. But

744
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:31.559
no, it's fun, you know, fun stuff. But you know,

745
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:37.239
just but but you know what I'm
I'm kind of in the middle right when

746
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.079
I read the paper. When I
read the paper, I read the electronic

747
00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:45.360
version on my iPad, so it's
the newspaper, but it's not paper,

748
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:46.519
you know, it's on my pad. I don't I don't like read.

749
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:50.400
I don't like when I read the
paper. When I sit down to actually

750
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:52.760
read it, I don't go to
the Tucson dot com and go through the

751
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.360
links. I call up the E
version of the paper so I can turn

752
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.000
pages. I see what the story
looks like. And she's paper with the

753
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:05.960
photos and all that is that constantly
changing. That paper is it already set.

754
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:08.119
How you can change the pill they
add to it. It's like like

755
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:12.920
you pick up the Sunday morning sports
page. Okay, and it's got what

756
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.960
you know, like the front page
might not have the game story from the

757
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.119
night before, but they add it
to the end. So they add another

758
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:24.159
page in the design sports page.
There's some extra pages from what came out,

759
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.280
you know, what got thrown on
your to add right, to add

760
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:32.880
those so that those are there,
so you know, I get up Sunday

761
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:38.119
morning and to read the Star story
on football game, right, I'm not

762
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:42.480
going to get it on the front
page of the electronic version. But you

763
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:46.079
go back a f your pages and
there's the games that that leve or or

764
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:51.719
or Justin Spears stuck around to write. Okay, that makes sense. But

765
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.519
they leave the layout of what,
you know, what got delivered. Then

766
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:59.360
they add pages in the end for
the late stuff and so you still get,

767
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:02.920
you know, kind of the paper, the newspaper version of the story.

768
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:07.360
That's how I read it. Well, the evolution, I mean,

769
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:08.960
yeah, you know, I think
back to the days when you know,

770
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:14.400
when the internet first started and they
just put the newspaper up there. Didn't

771
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.880
think someday that that was going to
kill him. You know, it didn't

772
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:19.320
make people pay. Well, that's
the problem. That's the problem. Back

773
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.480
in ninety six and I said,
whatever it was, there was no solution,

774
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:23.880
and they said, just give it
to people for free and see what

775
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:29.599
happens. Well, no, the
demise, that's what happened. Yeah,

776
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:31.519
And to this day, I mean, people hate going behind you know,

777
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.320
paying you know, I you know, I do it because I was a

778
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:43.599
journalist and I support and actually I
have more subscriptions now than I did when

779
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.400
they would throw you the newspaper because
you would read everything. And I read

780
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.840
the stuff, you know, for
the show and whatnot. And I've got

781
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.239
I've got the Washington Posts, in
New York Times, uh, the Well,

782
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:59.280
the Star, the Arizona Republic.
I'm about to give up the LA

783
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:01.719
Times because those guys aren't you know, we don't have to read about USC

784
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:05.079
and U c l A anymore.
Yeah, that's a tough that's a tough

785
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.079
preaking that changes. That's changed a
lot. But then I got other ones

786
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.920
like the Athletic and stuff like that
that I you know, I've got all

787
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.679
these subscriptions, and uh, I
think part of how we have the New

788
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:17.719
York Times subscription. Is my wife
loves the the recipes and word. So

789
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:21.880
there you go. I know what
to tell you about that. But you

790
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:23.719
know, I do read the Washington
Post. I know a bunch of guys

791
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:28.239
who worked there, so yeah,
I read their special. Yeah you're still

792
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.599
there, you know, you know, and I know a bunch of the

793
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.000
writers from knowing from knowing Tom,
so I know those guys. And then,

794
00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:37.239
uh, you know, obviously I
need to keep up on what's going

795
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.880
on up in Phoenix. Why I
you know, I subscribed to the Probably.

796
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:45.280
I just recently gave up my Mercury
News subscription because it got too damn

797
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.960
expensive. It was thirty bucks a
month to be able to read Wilner.

798
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:53.480
His stuff comes out in the in
the Star comes out a day later,

799
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:55.559
you know. I like getting it
when it's hot off, you know,

800
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.480
when it just hits. The things
usually comes out of day later in the

801
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.119
Star. But I can't, you
know, thirty bucks a month, twenty

802
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:06.800
eight it's too much. But you
know, for when I only read John,

803
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:10.679
don't read anything. Okay, Well
that's your future and started to press

804
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:19.199
you. Yeah, you said,
I heard him, our guest. You

805
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.760
said to Leah Henderson. All right, yeah, so what she's going to

806
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:23.920
study in school? And she says, you know, sports journalism and communication.

807
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:27.079
He starts telling her not to do
it. No, I didn't say

808
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:30.199
that. I said be prepared to
be broke, be being haired to be

809
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.639
broke. Basically, that is telling
her not to do it. Okay,

810
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:36.119
what you interpret it is your problem? No, no, no, But

811
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:37.480
in fact I should not have said
that, because it's probably if she's very

812
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:42.519
good and she sounded very right,
this is not that she's in the right.

813
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.400
She gets into the TV, in
the TV, into the broadcast and

814
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:49.239
yeah, and she sounded very very
good. In fact, a couple of

815
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:52.760
people liked our show yesterday with the
paral Paralympics. Yeah, because it was

816
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:57.760
different, right, and then obviously, uh, miss Henderson, because she

817
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:00.920
was so bright, she was she
was really good. Yeah, sure,

818
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.039
very good. Okay, No,
