We'll talk about a number of things. One of 27 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.159 the d backs, Uh, the Sons are getting ready to start their season, 28 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.000 how things are going there, and then uh, they say, Kyler 29 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.319 Murray's gonna play, he's getting ready to start practicing, and they're they're they're 30 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.519 doing whatever. There's called the step up that he needs to take to be 31 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.920 able to come back and play. So starting it's not like he mam actually 32 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.400 play this season, So excuse me. We'll talk about all those things with 33 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.480 and you know what, Jody, you know what kind of difference it'll make? 34 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.359 Not a damn thing. But I will see. You don't see what. 35 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.560 Jody likes him, right, Jody doesn't know. I think that doesn't 36 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.199 Mamamananonman likes him. Jody doesn't. I don't know. Jody doesn't like anything. 37 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.199 We'll see it. He's liking the Diamondbacks right now. Oh yeah, 38 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.560 No, he didn't want to love Alla fired after the All Star break like 39 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.840 everybody else too. I don't know. I'll recheck that. And that was 40 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.280 ugly last night, wasn't. It got so bad that I changed the channel 41 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.159 to watch a repeat of Dateline. Oh man just stopped murder that one? 42 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.159 Yeah, just yeah, Well, I said, if I'm gonna see somebody 43 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.560 get killed, I want to see somebody really got Yeah, So I switched 44 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.240 it over to Dateline h last night. But uh, that was a beatdown. 45 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.520 That was a beatdown. So us so Jody A will be coming on 46 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.319 here about three fifteen, three twenty and then Jeff Hammerschmid. I I brought 47 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.680 him up, Steve because I feel like we need to talk about the Dwayne 48 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.159 and Keena fact, because that well, because what's different other than it's a 49 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.120 second year under Johnny Nansen. What else is different about the staff? Yes, 50 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.639 no, well let me tell you if you remember the podcast the last 51 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280 time we had Hammer on when he didn't cuss, uh that one. Uh 52 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.000 he he predicted something like this that they would be very good. And it's 53 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.719 a combination, like Jed said, right, a combination of all of them. 54 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.800 But I think a big influence, a huge influence from comes from between. 55 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.840 And then you know, we're reading that that you know, they made 56 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.759 this little tweak to their defense. That is something that they were going back. 57 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.759 You know that that defense back when Desert Swarm was was in its heyday, 58 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.560 and so that was that wasn't that mentioned in in Brushki's discussion. Oh 59 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.479 that's the flexure and and and and they actually, you know, did did 60 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.400 a little tweak to the defense. And and they you know again fifty seven 61 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.039 touchdown passes by the last three quarterbacks they faced, and only one of those 62 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.919 against Arizona. So, uh, it's a it's pretty crazy that just like 63 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.759 that, you know, and that we're sitting here and you know, you 64 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.960 know, the two stories of the of the season right now are at the 65 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.680 quarterback situation obviously, and then the defense and what it's doing. Yeah, 66 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.599 I talk to Hammer about what kudos, you know what all that you know 67 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.360 from his experience, you know, he's also been a coach. How does 68 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.719 that happen? Right? And I just hope he doesn't cuss. He knows 69 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.279 he's got he got double secrets, has the instructions. I'll have my finger 70 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.920 on the dump button, yes immediately, but uh uh, it would be 71 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.199 fun to talk to Hammer. And it's it's like real busy time. I 72 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.839 mean I I sleep a little now and I do so many things, which 73 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:31.439 is bad. You do a lot of things. Well, you got all 74 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.399 the up four stuff going, and I've got a month from today, but 75 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.240 you have we have a game on Friday, Friday, Friday Saturday. Luckily 76 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.439 there's nothing to do, which is great. Makes me catch up for the 77 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.399 weekend and then next week another week, when's that? Okay, so Friday, 78 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.720 and then when's the next exhibition game? So then uh so then they 79 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.920 play again on Monday. That well, let me let me go back a 80 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.879 week here I'm doing. Please give us some rest a second. Okay, 81 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.360 So so you got you got an exhibition game Friday. Then next week really 82 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.079 nothing just the just the Oregon State game. No, no basketball games. 83 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.759 Then the following week you got the men on Monday you got another you got 84 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.120 the u c l A game, and then and then women's basketball is going 85 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.720 to kick in with their ex when's the first game of the season, regular 86 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.839 first men's game of the season, regular season, the real game, uh 87 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.319 November sixth against Morgan State. And then they had to do and then they 88 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.720 go to Duke right after they one game and then they go to do that's 89 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.240 a quickie, that's a quickie test. So they got New Mexico Highlands and 90 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.199 an exhibition on the thirtieth, and then then they're off for a week open 91 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:44.079 with Morgan State on Monday sixth, and then Friday the tenth, they're at 92 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.600 Duke. No to everybody on the tenth, we won't be having a show. 93 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.279 Steve's off to Duke. I'm off to Vegas for a weekend of football 94 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:02.279 prognosticating. Hey, some of the best years I've had on that trip have 95 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.360 been during my worst years of picks. You mean, but this is my 96 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.639 worst year of that pool. There are Steve, there there are one thousand 97 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.240 and fifty seven in the pool. I'm in a thousand and forty seventh place. 98 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.360 Okay, okay, well let's clarify that too, And then how many 99 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.040 of people below you have kind of given up, I say, by not 100 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:26.199 doing the thing anymore? Five of the ten, so out of one hundred. 101 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.079 So so there's only five people below me who have made all their picks. 102 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.759 That's my point. Yeah, another fight that I have given and then 103 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.759 another five who have, yeah, just kind of given up or do they 104 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.680 make them once in a while? Yeah, yeah, who's that to you? 105 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.519 There's a person in the pool who got a perfect week, and that 106 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.120 week she got two more points than I have. Right now, I have 107 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.079 four points in seven weeks. That's not very good. So four thirty five, 108 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.399 there's thirty seven weeks. Okay. Let me tell you. We used 109 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.240 to keep track of this back in the day. The record the record low 110 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.079 score for somebody who made all their picks in the season. It's twenty. 111 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.959 Oh you're on a pace that may not Oh I'm not even close to the 112 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.800 page. The only thing I'm hoping is that those guys are blow me stay 113 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.639 there so that it's not me. Twenty points in a nineteen week season. 114 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.879 Really, that's twenty and I'm at four after seven, so there's nothing to 115 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.879 be got to. You gotta average at least one, and I'm not averaging 116 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.079 one have. I like it though. I like it though because I know 117 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.040 you like it. It's it's a crushing below. I know it's bad. 118 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.800 Bad anyways, Enough about me, but okay some anyway, Jeff hammersmid Jodyayler. 119 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.480 Today we'll talk some football and then some Phoenix sports. As you saying, 120 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.600 a lot going on. You know, women's constantly started. When's that 121 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.759 start?

The women have Oh god, 123 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.360 I took the calendar off my schedule.

So they 125 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.319 might actually start a little earlier than that. Steve, I don't know. 126 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.079 I would assume. So if the guys are kind of around the corner, 127 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.120 and then tomorrow's media day, which so we can't make Yeah, we're just 128 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.839 gonna have to skip that.

The new firms 169 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.559 are good? Okay. I've always liked the Phillies uniforms, you know, 170 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.440 I don't like the Rangers. The Rangers kind of you know, the Phillies. 171 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.480 You know, they sometimes they break out the powder Blue road in m 172 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.279 that I think are really cool. I've always thought those, I've always thought 173 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.840 those were neat uniforms. So, you know, I you know what it's 174 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.679 like. I'll read. You know, I'm still in the end, I'm 175 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.440 still a naturally guy. Even if it's the Diamondbacks in the World Series. 176 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.799 I'll read for the Diamondbacks and I'll read for the Phillies. I don't know 177 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.039 if I'll put any money on it or anything. If I don't know if 178 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.639 I'll be interested enough to put any money on it, But you know, 179 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.759 I'll watch some of it. If it's art like tonight, you know there's 180 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.960 a Rangers, I'll probably watch that to hate on the Astros, you know, 181 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.879 hope they go down to me nothing, hoping they get swept, yeah, 182 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.519 which could have very well happened. Yeah, or they can come back. 183 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.639 I mean, they're pretty good team, except that they're not playing well 184 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.480 or Phillies or the Phillies are playing better or not feelings Rangers are playing better. 185 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.960 Yeah, it's hard for me because I know that the Astros are in 186 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.879 the American League and I don't even know when they went to the American League, 187 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.840 but to me, they're a National League team from back in my day. 188 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.720 You know, back in our day, always were out you know, 189 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.840 they were rival of the Dodgers. They were in the next Dodgers and the 190 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.399 Reds were in the National League West. Yeah, that's hard to explain to 191 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.679 some of the some of the young kids to the days that guys, they 192 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.440 used to be two divisions. There were six teams in each division. There 193 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.960 were totally twenty four teams. It was East and West at one time in 194 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.360 our lifetime. In our lifetime, it was all one league. You had 195 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.440 to win the league in the regular season to get and it was just a 196 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.879 world series, you know, I remember that, right, you know. 197 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.879 And and then then they split them up and the playoffs were you know, 198 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.559 a five game series between the two division champions, and then they broke it 199 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.519 up even more than what we have today. So anyways, all right, 200 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.279 so you know, again, as you said, man, busy, lots 201 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.200 of lots of things going on in a lot of different directions. You got 202 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.480 the road Runners are playing, the Coyotes are playing. Uh you got you 203 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.320 know, all the all the all the u of a sports are overlapping, 204 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.279 right. I see. Gymnastics is you know, getting ready to get started. 205 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.960 You know, John Court and his people over there. You know, 206 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.879 we're really well in women's gymnastics at Arizona, you know. And then again 207 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.360 the basketball teams, fall baseball, fall softball is on right now, you 208 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.399 know, they're all playing games. Yeah, so crazy time, which is 209 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.919 a good time. Job security beats well. You know what. What what 210 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.840 was nice about COVID is that we could get people to talk to because they 211 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.879 weren't doing anything. But there were no sports going on all that summer. 212 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.440 It was kind of hard, you know, but you know, we got 213 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.240 through that. Too, So it's still kind of a hangover from that a 214 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.399 little bit. Okay, maybe if you guys want to call, you can, 215 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.720 probably not right now, but after our first guess, Jordan first got 216 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.039 Jody Ale coming on here help us get today well again, we'll get through 217 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.000 some of the Phoenix stuff. All you Diamondbacks man who are tired of hearing 218 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.039 me bad mouth the Diamondbacks. I don't think Jody's going to bad mouth the 219 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.279 Diamondbacks. I think he likes what's going on over there. He's been talking 220 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.399 about them on his show. And then again we'll talk about some maybe talk 221 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.200 some sons, but I think he also wants to talk about Tyler Murray and 222 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.200 the announcement of data. He's on his way to get back on the field, 223 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.799 so sick around for all that, We'll be right back with Jody Aylor. 224 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.120 For more than twenty years, the Window Depot has provided the best price 225 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.360 and the biggest inventory on in stock vinyl windows, and now the Window Depot 226 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.759 is more than a window store, offering homeowners and contractors a one stop warehouse 227 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.679 offering interior and exterior doors, granted and courts, countertops, in stock, 228 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.120 cabinatry and skylights to finish your project.

And you know, I've described this Diamondbacks season if 331 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.559 people have followed it relatively closely, it's it's probably the weirdest Diamondbacks season ever. 332 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.960 At various points they were either great or terrible and just a lot of 333 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.960 weird things going on. And I guess the only hope with your d Decks 334 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.440 fan is the weirdest thing ever to cap up the weirdest season would be coming 335 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.759 back in the series and somehow making it a six or seven game one, 336 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.000 because right now it looks very heavily tilted in the Phillies fan, You're right, 337 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.400 No, you're right, because they were hot, cold, hot again, 338 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.240 and here they are. I mean, that was a massacre last night. 339 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.880 But you know, I mean, after what they did to the Dodgers, 340 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.240 you just kind of got it. Even though the Phillies that you just 341 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.519 know are really good, and when you saw what they did to the Braves, 342 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.400 you know, you kind of expect going in, expect the Phillies to 343 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.880 take the series, but the Diamondbacks are really damn hot. You know, 344 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:47.960 I went to the game three eight up in Phoenix with the Dodgers, and 345 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.039 the best team on the field was the home team, and it was by 346 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.200 a lot that night, And I'm a little surprised at what's happened in the 347 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.880 series. Yeah, I think a lot of that has to do. And 348 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.759 I'm not blaming this, but like they had four days off in between the 349 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.880 series, and for a team like the Diamondbacks, I think that momentum was 350 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.160 hard to carry over in that gap. It's not a reason they're losing, 351 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.440 but it's certainly something that didn't work in their favor. And then you know, 352 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.960 the other thing is they just bat's got cold. They've started to kind 353 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.680 of change what they did. They haven't run on the base pads at all. 354 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:21.920 Coolby and Carroll let off both games by getting on first base and then 355 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.839 was just left there to cook for three outs, which is just not the 356 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.519 Diamondbacks way. So I think this has been a learning experience for Tory levelo. 357 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.960 I think it's been a learning experience for the team. And you know, 358 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.319 there's a lot of things to look at that Phillies team and be like, 359 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.079 Okay, well this is what we know. The standard is and this 360 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.160 is where the franchise has to get better. Yeah, no question. I 361 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.799 think though apod for the review, that this is one of those seasons that 362 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.960 you can say, this is a great thing to build on. It is, 363 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.839 although I caution people and if they get swept and it's ugly the next 364 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.519 two games, it just paints everything. It's like when the Cardinals made the 365 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.240 NFC Championship Game twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, like you don't remember that that 366 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.440 was a really great run. You just remember that the Panthers humiliated them. 367 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.039 So they have to get competitive. That's really the new standard I was talking 368 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.759 about this morning is you know, Brandon Fott's rookies on the non for Game 369 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.519 three. I don't know if you guys have seen. Ticket prices are cheaper 370 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.720 than spring training lawn tickets right now, which doesn't bode well for a great 371 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.359 environments at two oh seven first pitch, and I think they just got to 372 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.319 be competitive because right now, if you get blown out, people are going 373 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.799 to wonder what you were doing there in the first place. Yeah yeah, 374 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.599 but I mean when you think about where they were after the All Star break, 375 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.960 I mean everybody wanted a toy level of fire. They you know, 376 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.519 they got flipped over by you know, by the Dodgers all of a sudden, 377 00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.440 they were it didn't even look like they were going to make the playoffs. 378 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.039 When you think about where they were, you know, in July and 379 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.519 August and where they've gotten to, I mean, how can you be unhappy 380 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.480 about anything? And even if they do get swept, well, no one 381 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.920 likes to lose, you know. No, It's like, if you're the 382 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.440 Dodgers, he won one hundred games, blah bla, oh blah, you 383 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.720 got sweat. You're not happy with the season, you know. And I 384 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.680 know there's different for different franchises, but I don't think the Diamondbacks are happy 385 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.079 getting their butts kicked on the biggest stage in baseball. And I don't think 386 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:12.359 anyone is, you know. So I think, you know, if you 387 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:18.039 talk to a sixteen feed in the tournament that loses by forty five, you 388 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.839 know, Arizona, they're not going to be happy with that. But I 389 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:25.279 think there's perspective in that you accomplish something, but you just you can't get 390 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.160 dominated. Nobody wants to get dominated. And right now, the Diamondbacks coming 391 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:32.400 off give you. Game one was competitive and the first few winnings of Game 392 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.440 two were competitives, and they got to get back to that point and stop 393 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.759 this runaway freight train right now. And you know, here's here's a friendly 394 00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:42.640 tip to the Diamondbacks that anybody who's watched these games, I think, what 395 00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.160 second is just stop challenging the meat of the Phillies lineup with ninety four min 396 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.119 hour fastballs, down home play. That'd be a good start that you would 397 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.119 be. You know, you should be a scout. You should be a 398 00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.319 scout on the years and years of experience preparing for that kind of up comes. 399 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.279 That redhead, don't listen to it, please, Hey, hey, 400 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.400 let's move to. Let's move to. Let's move to the positive side real 401 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.680 quick. A lot of hope, a lot of happiness in the Sun's camp. 402 00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:14.839 Yeah, I mean, man, I've watched more preseason basketball than I've 403 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:17.160 ever watched my life, and it's been rewarded. I mean, this team 404 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.480 is ridiculous and it's gonna be fun and it's all gonna come down to health 405 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:23.400 in the postseason. But man, they are gonna put up point. You 406 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:26.960 know, somebody compared them to the Steve Nash Suns, and what's crazy is 407 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:32.519 if you look at the stats, those Steve Nash Sons now would be one 408 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.079 of the slowest, most methodical offensive teams in the league. At the time 409 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.880 they were a Supercharge, you know, Lamborghini. This this team looks and 410 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.160 plays more stylistically like those Steve Nash led teams, even though they don't have 411 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.200 a point guard. And I mean it is it's hard to deny the overwhelming 412 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.000 talent of KD. Booker and Bradley Beal when they're on the floor together. 413 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.440 Yeah, you know, it's funny because you know, I was thinking the 414 00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.799 other day and I don't know if we last time we had you on an 415 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.920 i've had you on since DeAndre Ayton got shipped out, I don't remember. 416 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:06.839 You know, My thinking was it, regardless of whether you thought DeAndre was 417 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.119 doing a good job of bad jubb or whatever, just to hold DeAndre it 418 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.079 ate an issue that was hanging over the sort of weighing down the team, 419 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.680 and things like that can do that no matter who you've got, how good 420 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.440 you are, when you have a like this big cloud over you, it 421 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.279 drags things down. And that's gone and it seems like it's they've been released 422 00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:32.960 from something. It's like it's like when I used to be down in Tucson 423 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.279 covering U of A games and I'd beat Michale Center and Steve would be sitting 424 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:38.680 next to me, and then every now and then, for whatever reason, 425 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.920 Steve wouldn't show up to a U of A game, Like, man, 426 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:47.079 be a great night tonight reaches the free and loose and you know, now 427 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.359 the U I mean, yeah, you're one hundred percent right then. I 428 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.519 think I think that DeAndre Ayton is just a net positive just not being on 429 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.759 the team. He's a talented player. We've talked about this over and over 430 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.559 again, but really it's just a net positive. They don't have to deal 431 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.000 with that drama. Yeah, all right, sight fake news, but greater 432 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.720 great. You know, Jode, I was wondering those games when I was 433 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.799 at the table, and it seemed like the vision was clearer, and you 434 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.920 know there's a something had been lifted off the floor, like a film or 435 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.079 something. You know, we get we go into we know, down into 436 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.680 the bottels and the Kale Center at halftime, you know there's Pepsi's on the 437 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:32.160 table or whatever, and everybody'd be like, oh man, you have a 438 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.960 big smile. Any fast he's not here, and then we'd all just high 439 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:41.319 five. Well, wasn't how my kids feel the same way? At least 440 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.799 they're consistent. Well, good for you, good for you. Well, 441 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.880 a lot of excitement for the Suns. Let's move back to now, let's 442 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.200 move to the football. Yeah. So there's some news out on some on 443 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.240 Kyler Murray that he may actually come back. Yeah, he's practicing today, 444 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.720 So that's a huge got twenty one days to practice, his practice windows open. 445 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.160 He's activated off pup and so now in the next three weeks, they've 446 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.559 got a decision either he gets put on the active roster or he goes on 447 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.240 injured reserve for the rest of the season. Obviously, practicing means he is 448 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.240 gearing with the play. It's not going to be this weekend, it might 449 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.759 not be next week. But Kyler's back. And I mean, I know 450 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.960 they're one in five, and I know they got the butts kicked last week. 451 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.920 But I think Kyler Murray in this offense, with this leadership, is 452 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.519 going to be a really really fun thing to watch, and I think he's 453 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.319 going to make their decision easy. I don't think Kyler Murray is going to 454 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.119 be a straight Can I think they're going to have nowhere near the number one 455 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.319 overall pick, and it's gonna be kind of all laid out for him. 456 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.599 Jonathan Gannon, you know, first year. You know, again, the 457 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.319 record's not good, But does it seem to be that there's some hope there 458 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.240 for what he's doing. Oh yeah, he's a real football coach, and 459 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.160 that's just different one that they had the last four years. I take a 460 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.599 lot of joy watching people wonder why Caleb Williams has st and I'm like, 461 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.400 you know, Cliff Kingsbury is at USC now, he's literally one of the 462 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.759 worst football coaches I've ever seen. Because the presentation of the coach is so 463 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.799 good, people tend to think people just assume Cliff Kingsbury's good at things because 464 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:17.720 he's a good looking man. And I'm like, dude, just absolutely had 465 00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:21.200 no idea what he was doing leading the Cardinals for four years. He failed 466 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.720 with Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech, and it's funny to watch Caleb Williams struggle 467 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.039 there. I'm sure it's not all Cliff's fault, but I think Kyler Murray 468 00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.000 right now knows that Jonathan Agannon's a real head coach. They've got a real 469 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.920 NFL offense. I've said this. I don't know if they said it to 470 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:40.000 you guys, but the last four years, the coaching staff held the players 471 00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.119 back. Now it's the players holding the coaches back. They just need an 472 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:45.279 infusion of talent in this team. I think by next year is going to 473 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.400 be contending for a wildcard spot. Wow, look at you. I know 474 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.640 what Kingsbury goes for. I'm a good looking man who everyone thinks so much 475 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.960 of me. It sucks. The pressure sucks. Well, that's funny. 476 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:02.720 That's a great analogy because they get probably a little a little more lax right 477 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.720 when you when you're oh he's good looking, he's smart or whatever. Yeah, 478 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.400 yeah, no, he's It's funny you see that he's a us see 479 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.880 because they're not that good. I forgot he was there. I mean I 480 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.400 forgot he was there. Jody, you're all over. That makes sense. 481 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.920 He he tried to gravy train Caleb Williams, which is just kind of obnoxious. 482 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.599 You know, like he failed in the NFL. He could have gone 483 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.119 anywhere, and he really tried to gravy train the Caleb Williams experience to get 484 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.400 another sucker team to, you know, trick them into giving him a head 485 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.319 coaching job, and it's gone sideways. And again there's a lot of issues 486 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.799 at USC. I don't think it's all with Kingsberry, but I don't think 487 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.359 it's a coincidence either. Yeah, we're talking to Joe Daylor from Fox Sports 488 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.960 nineteen up in Phoenix. So Jody, So Kyler Murray does come back. 489 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.559 Let's say he does come back in three weeks or whatever that is. You 490 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:55.240 know, how good can you be? You say, we know he'll be 491 00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.119 better than than what they've got right now, or you just get him out 492 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.799 there playing again, They're gonna be much better offensively. Josh stab that the 493 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.599 clock just courted ran out on him. And I'm not saying that they're gonna 494 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.720 win a bunch of games, but they have let This team is well coached 495 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:13.160 and well prepared. They let it at halftime of the Rams, and then 496 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.960 obviously every thing went south in the second half. I think Kyler Murray helps 497 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.799 bridge that gap between the first and second half. The Cardinals have been one 498 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:22.880 of the worst second half teams of football. They just run out of gas. 499 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:27.200 With kylerd adds an extra element. It doesn't mean that defense. The 500 00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:30.480 secondary right now is the biggest problem. They're just getting torched in the passing 501 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.000 game. Kyler doesn't play cornerback, so it's not gonna help there, but 502 00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.759 they The biggest obstacle for the Cardinals right now is in most NFL games, 503 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.720 you need to score three times to have any chance to win, and this 504 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.920 Cardinals team can barely find the end zone once. Kyler Murray is at least 505 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:50.519 going to make it possible that you can get in the end zone three plus 506 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.759 times in an NFL game, and if you do that, you win the 507 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.359 turnover battle. You've got a chance to win some games. Now they have 508 00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.920 the third toughest remaining strength of schedule. Well, so they got a bunch 509 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.039 of big boys on their schedule, but I think Kyler's going to make them 510 00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:07.039 more competitive and probably deal a game or two. How in the world did 511 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.440 they beat the Cowboys or is it one of those mystery things that they the 512 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:15.960 Cobs because I had money on the copy. Well, man, the Cowboys 513 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.319 were down three offensive linemen, right and they just sort of thought they could 514 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.759 walk in there and walk out and win. And one of the big testaments 515 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.720 to Jonathan Gannon's leadership this team plays hard every game. They come out shot 516 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.680 out of the canyon, and I think they just shocked the Cowboys and it 517 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.960 was they just and Dak's you know, Dak's not a great quarterback when you're 518 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.440 trying to erase the death of Hit, and so they just they just took 519 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.640 him by surprise. Look at Jody Man, he's all positive on all the 520 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.880 on all the Phoenix pro teams. We need to talk coyotes, right, 521 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.079 Yeah, yeah, I don't have any coyotes. Think twice of your being 522 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:58.599 held hostage? Is this really you joke? Hey Man? Always good to 523 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.680 talk to. Mana likewise young and always always love coming on. All right, 524 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.799 thanks you much. Jodey Taylor, Jody Taylor were favorite guys. Oh 525 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.039 that was alien Jody. It was different. I'm not sure what's going on 526 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.800 exactly. All right, all right, got another great guest coming up next 527 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:22.440 hour. Jeff Hammerschmidt Uh played with Arizona late eighties into nineteen ninety. He 528 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.840 played under doing Naquina. We think that Joynekina is having a huge impact on 529 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.119 this defense. We'll see what Hammer has to say about that. So stick 530 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.079 around for that and we'll take your calls at the next segment five to zero, 531 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:36.320 four, one, six, seventy four, forty We'll be right back 532 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:43.199 wet.

Is it good that the you know he talked about, I 602 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:51.760 see everybody likes to overthink things. Jody talked about the four day the hiatus 603 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.440 or whatever, the weight, the sit and you talk about the momentum and 604 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.440 yah yah yeah sitting down. You talked about that before too well, in 605 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:01.559 my point being that in baseball it's different. You know, you don't want 606 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.760 to if you're going well, you don't want to take days off. Oras 607 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:07.639 In football, you know, it's not as big a deal. How are 608 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.000 you picking? You can't pick and choose what works away? No, no, 609 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.199 no, no, But that's but that's what I'm saying that in baseball 610 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:16.400 it's more of a game that you get in a rhythm. You want to 611 00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.880 stay in the rhythm. I get that, I get that, I get 612 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.880 that. But if you're gone, and the thing is, were you rusty 613 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:27.559 or you're you're rusty's an overused term, or uh do you want the rest? 614 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.400 Right? So everybody can look at it either way, right, No, 615 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.440 you're right. And and you know what, and if if the Dodgers 616 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:37.199 had gone and swept this diving back, everybody said, boy that that rest 617 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.519 for the Dodgers was great. Exactly, you got you set your pitching staff 618 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.800 exactly. Yeah, yeahda YadA. It's it's like using the data for your 619 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:46.880 benefit, right, you know you have notes. It doesn't do that. 620 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:51.800 Everybody does that data and you make it, make it mean whatever you want 621 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.159 it to mean. Doing right now? You know, like right now, 622 00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.119 you know you're saying, well, you know, sen Arizona football, you 623 00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:58.960 know, is it good for them to have a week off or not? 624 00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:01.119 And I'm like, exactly, you know, if they if they go, 625 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.920 you know, get smashed by Oregon State and look horrible, you're gonna think, 626 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.239 damn it, they should have played last week, right right, No, 627 00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:12.800 it's exactly. You use what you know from you exactly. Wow, 628 00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:14.559 man, they were placed so well, why did you have to wait this? 629 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:19.320 Spins spin I've been I've had a lifetime of work in that. That 630 00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.360 is exactly what it is. The momentum factor of the non moment rusty blah 631 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.559 blah. This is what they do for a living. They play. If 632 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:28.079 they play, they do, they do, and you know, and look, 633 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.800 you do what you gotta do. Whatever it takes for you to be 634 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:35.840 ready. You just do that. And sometimes he was talking about maybe the 635 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.119 Diamonbacks this and that Philadelphia's pretty damn good. Yeah, And the reason why 636 00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:44.400 probably the Diamondbacks look the way they look because Philly's pretty damn good good right, 637 00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:46.159 Yeah, no, but okay, let's let's for example, this is 638 00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.159 what normally, I mean, every coach that we've ever known, football coach 639 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:53.079 you'll ever know, they come up on a bye week, they play their 640 00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:57.199 last game, they play their game, they do whatever they do. On 641 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.400 Sunday, they left, they meet, they do whatever. They give them 642 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.760 three days off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, focus on school work, sure, 643 00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.119 get back to work on Thursday. Je Fish is doing the other thing. 644 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:13.000 He's got a practicing through tomorrow. He's giving them Friday and Saturday off 645 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.039 and then they're back at it on Sunday. He kind of flipped it over. 646 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.559 Yeah, I think you know, was it too because they did play 647 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:23.320 so well on on last Saturday. He kind of wants to keep that juice 648 00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:28.400 going for a few more days, put it into the practice. Then, 649 00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.800 yeah, you gotta give them a couple of days off. They need a 650 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.119 break. Then you give them the two days off, and then you go 651 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:36.440 you go at it again. It's just you kind of figure out what's best 652 00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:37.880 for your team. If he thought it was best for his team to take 653 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:39.880 a bunch of days off right after the game, he would have done it. 654 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.960 Yeah. Yeah, so we won't know until we know, until we 655 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.480 know because next week's the game. We should have done it the other way 656 00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:52.679 around, exactly, it's exactly, it's a spin. It's we should have, 657 00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:54.639 we should have, we should have that day you played very well, 658 00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.800 yeah, the day they didn't. Okay, well I told you again, 659 00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.400 man, Mike. Today lunch group, but just giddy today. They're like 660 00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:05.400 like a bunch of little kids. They've been waiting for this role. Yeah, 661 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:07.639 and it's like the Christmas The Christmas presents are all around the tree. 662 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.199 Not that they think, you know, not that they think they're going to 663 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:14.960 you know, like the festival or stuff that are going to win the league, 664 00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.280 but just feeling like, God, it feels good to be good. 665 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:20.920 They found something. Yeah, it feels to be good, and they feel 666 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.199 they're good. Even though four and three record is a four and three record. 667 00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.440 We thought at this point there would either be three or four or four 668 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:29.199 and three correct, right, they're not far off, or we thought they 669 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.719 were gonna correct. But what it looks like is what's is what's making the 670 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:36.800 difference. Well, we thought they were gonna get smashed by Washington USC and 671 00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.320 they did it, right, no, no, No, you can argue, 672 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:42.760 you can argue that they should have beat USC when you saw USC did 673 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:44.960 notre dame last week, right right, No, No, I think it's 674 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:46.960 to how they'd reached this point, how they reached the point of a very 675 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:53.239 dominating performance, a very respectable performance with a quarterback that you really like, 676 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:58.360 whether he stays the quarterback. I think I thought he's got it. There's 677 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:02.360 no question he's got there's no because it's just not so much public opinion. 678 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.679 But you go with the guy who's yeah. Okay, okay, I was 679 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.559 gonna use this for breaking news, but I will, I will, I'll 680 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:15.440 throw this out there. This is a This is a post from two four 681 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:22.559 seven Sports College Football pop quarterback power rankings for Week eight. So, uh, 682 00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.079 you know, going into this week, Number one Michael Pennix, no, 683 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.639 no shock, Number two, Jade and Daniels Lsu Okay, dad, 684 00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:32.280 he's up there. Number three, j J. McCarthy Michigan, Number four, 685 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.280 Dylan Gabriel Oklahoma, number five, Drake Maine, North Carolina. Number 686 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:45.639 six. Well gotta be your guy. What's the category? It says quarterback 687 00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:52.639 power Ratings whatever whatever that means. Uh, I don't know if it's a 688 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:55.679 it's a season long quarterback power rating and what they what they based it on. 689 00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.679 But whatever it's based on, you got no A Fafida listed among the 690 00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.519 top ten quarterback country. How do you set him down? No, you 691 00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:08.039 don't, You don't. You just don't. You don't. You know what, 692 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.280 then, Jed's a smart dude. He's he knows what he's doing. 693 00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.960 Look, I love you, Jayden, but you know, I think you 694 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:17.639 know you gotta admit for the good of the team, sure, this is 695 00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:21.519 what we gotta do. Sure, this is what we gotta do, and 696 00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:23.440 we're gonna do it. Be ready to play though, because if sure, 697 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:27.400 you know, if it goes if it goes south, and we need you, 698 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.079 we need to get in there and we need you to be at your 699 00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:31.920 best. That's the speech I would have, And again I would even better, 700 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.559 even better. You know if if in the postgame press conference after the 701 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.400 Oregon State game, Jed would come on and say, Jayden came up to 702 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.440 me and said, coach, we gotta you gotta stick with Noah all of 703 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:49.840 a sudden, his whole image, you know, rises there are some some 704 00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:51.400 of the guys that I had looked at, you know, the guy in 705 00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:54.079 my crowd today say, God, if Jane Delora comes out as a starting 706 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:59.400 quarterback gets Oregon State, you think they'll boot. I'm like, you know 707 00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:01.320 what, there will be some. There would be there would be some, 708 00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:05.840 there would be no doubt. And the fact that you could probably hear people 709 00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.719 saying I'm not coming back. Yeah, I'm not coming back. They've lost 710 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:13.559 me as a fan. And the thing about is he makes a lot of 711 00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:15.440 money, right, he makes a lot of to make these decisions, and 712 00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:21.440 his job is predicated on him winnings. Got to win. He's got to 713 00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.920 make a decision for you know, yeah, to win games. Tough decision, 714 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:29.400 but I think the smart decision continued rolling with what you got? Yeah, 715 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:31.960 yeah again. And you know, going into the game last week, 716 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:37.199 I remember I said, God, what happens if they be watching has a 717 00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:38.000 great game? What are you gonna do? Here? We are here, 718 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.960 you know here you are. It's in fact, you have you have one 719 00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.119 of the best the Dodgers. You have one of the best pictures in the 720 00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:50.400 history of the program of the Dodgers, who has a horrible history of losing 721 00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:53.400 games in the playoffs. Do you not start him game one? Do you 722 00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:55.960 not start him game one. Well, he was their best picture. That's 723 00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.360 and you started. He started knowing that he's not a great d're in the 724 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.000 playoffs, but he was your best. He was your best. He was 725 00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:06.920 the best. All the injuries and beating up girlfriends, they ran out of 726 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.239 picture starting pictures, right, right, But you go with the guy, 727 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.360 right, you go with the guy and for pets his guy. Yeah, 728 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.679 and he knows it. He knows it's all. This is all media driven, 729 00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.000 it's all kind of he's kind of allowed it because he hasn't said anything. 730 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.719 Right, Well, we will let people. Look, we are going 731 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:29.599 to have Jed on the show tomorrow. Yeah, so well I don't know. 732 00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:31.159 We're not even going to ask him that because he's not gonna tell us 733 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:36.119 anyways. You know, we're not gonna say Jed, who's starting. He'll 734 00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.079 hang up on us. No, he'll but different way. But Jed will 735 00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.840 be on the show tomorrow. It's an off week, so we we asked 736 00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:45.440 him. See if we get him on the show, So we'll have him 737 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.719 on. We'll ask him some questions, uh, you know about about all 738 00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:51.239 of this? How just how is he handling all of this? Right? 739 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:54.400 Is it fun? Is it not? You know, the the angst of 740 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:58.960 this decision. You know, what's he going through? You know, yeah, 741 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.360 yeah, no, no, no, that's fair, that's fair question 742 00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:05.719 question. You know, come on, you're doing very well. How does 743 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:07.840 it feel? What's it like? You're having fun? Is that? You 744 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.960 know? Is pressure mounting because you're getting better? You know people expectations are 745 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.559 getting getting higher, you know those kinds of things. Yeah, you know, 746 00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:19.960 he's a good dude. He's he kind of likes to be back and 747 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.639 forth. He's a little Tommy yes that stuff.

It's gonna be a fun game. You know, I kind 752 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.239 of wish it was in that four thirty time slot. I know night games 753 00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:46.719 are great at Arizona. I sure hope that if it's a great game, 754 00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.119 that in the third quarter and fourth quarter, people are still there, because 755 00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:55.039 even in the Washington game, that game was never over and the place emptied 756 00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:00.400 out you know by the fourth quarter. You know, folks, yea stick 757 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.760 around these guys need you, and uh, it just makes for a better 758 00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:06.159 atmosphere. It's a lot more fun. There's plenty of bar min. It's 759 00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:08.519 left after a football game. Yeah, you know, I mean bartolp until 760 00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.840 now right? Have you ever been out to bartil I can't remember the last 761 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:15.480 time I was out that long, really, even for New Year's Eve, 762 00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:23.400 I can't remember. Man, I suck it. It's all true, though. 763 00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:27.239 When you get older, just well you get a buen. I hit 764 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.199 the sack last night at eight thirty, but that's because I have my five 765 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.280 thirty. I got it at five thirty for my meeting on Tuesday Morndas. 766 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:36.800 But at eight thirty, I was I was boom. I was under the 767 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:38.239 covers, you know. Part of that. My wife is gone, So 768 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:44.719 anybody to talk to you? Well, that's pretty trouble. You don't call 769 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:50.320 me.

I just put on 770 00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:54.280 some Dateline reruns and exactly evact, we were at the game Friday and people 771 00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.360 were, you know, together, don't you guys get enough from each other? 772 00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:00.719 Yeah, but we're here. Well here's a I like. Here's what 773 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:02.920 I like. When I think it was Marlins came up and said I had 774 00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:07.639 the ball was here. This must be a big game because we were Yeah, 775 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.199 we needed a T shirt shirt. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Although 776 00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:20.199 they put my wristband on too tight. It's blocking so much. That was 777 00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.320 a fun game, you know, there was two really good funny think about 778 00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:28.920 you said it yesterday we left when when CEO seemingly took the easy lead right 779 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.719 when they scored, they scored a touchdown three minutes left in the game. 780 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:34.840 You walked out. How far were you in the car near the car? 781 00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.480 Were you at the car when it happened? I know I must have gotten 782 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:42.039 to the car. You heard the loud cheer and I'm taking what just happened, 783 00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:46.599 But you didn't turn around and go back, too tired to watch to 784 00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:52.199 the car now. I I didn't know about it until later that night. 785 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.119 I checked on Twitter and saw that they had they had lost and had scored 786 00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:59.559 and then gone for two. But congratulations both those guys. You know, 787 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:04.000 a dustin piece and such a great story and your friendship, muge at the 788 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.719 friendship. Yeah, all that stuff. That was such a good game, 789 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.440 just a hard fund. We were standing on the sidelines. Those guys were 790 00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:13.800 hitting hard. We were hitting really hard. They both had some really good 791 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.320 players, some tough players. It was a really tough, physical football game 792 00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:21.440 and it was fun to watch. So all right, you can put that 793 00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:25.440 one man. Let's super all right, So we're gonna be right back breaking 794 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:28.239 news at the top of the hour.
