00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.600
Of course, yeah, we're gonna
check in on Analys because she was

10
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.719
that she was at the waste management
open on Saturday, right, right,

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.920
experience, and we'll see we should
actually go there. Let's go there because

12
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.759
we well, wait, are you
jed fished out? I am? I

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.560
am I I you know, out
of curiosity and just doing my due diligence,

14
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.079
right, because we are a sports
talk radio show, and every he

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.679
was talking about this interview he did
yesterday. I listened to it, right,

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.120
and then I said, okay,
I'm done listening to it. Yeah,

17
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.000
yeah, I you know I didn't
in my role, in your role,

18
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.680
in the same role, I wrote
stories. I didn't get close to

19
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.680
him. I don't get close to
him football people anymore because it doesn't really

20
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.480
matter. And I'm glad I didn't. I sure don't still don't know if

21
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.120
he's a good football coach. But
didn't see enough. Yeah, did you

22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.079
know? We didn't. I mean, we think he is right because he

23
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.640
did a really nice he did a
great job. But again, you know,

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.640
it's it's easy to get a lot
better when you were really bad.

25
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.680
True. True. In fact,
well we know call yor two who said

26
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.000
who said they had a hard time
dealing or accepting the higher from Brennan because

27
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.280
his record wasn't so great. Well
did you accept Jeff Fish's before he got

28
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.280
here and after? Yeah? So
yeah, So look, you know I

29
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.439
mentioned that because asked you if you
listened to it. You did, I

30
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.879
did. I'm done listening to it. He didn't say here, I didn't

31
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:06.000
say anything new that the three minute
thing, and then the Texas A and

32
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.159
M thing, right, and then
I still believe there was one other job

33
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.280
that he had contact with somebody.
He says he says no, but I

34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.039
think there's at least one sure,
But other than that, that's it.

35
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.080
That's not U c l A.
Yeah. And now you know, I

36
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.039
kind of like on the way in, when I'm listening on the way and

37
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.240
I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna
paraphrase a line from The Godfather, I'm

38
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.520
like, you know, okay,
good luck in your your new venture.

39
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.240
He's talking to that Salozzo guy,
right, Vito Corleone talking to good luck

40
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.520
in your venture. I wish you
well as long as your interests don't conflict

41
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.680
with mine. Yeah, No,
that's good. That's good. I thought

42
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.159
there was you're dead to me or
something that way. You got to get

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.280
right up to him, blow his
brains out by being okay, get his

44
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.039
brains out over your IVY league.
Unless something breaks for anything else, we'll

45
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.439
talk about him. But we're kind
of done with him, right, he's

46
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.039
gone, he's up there. Good
good luck to him. I understand why

47
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.840
you took the job, and I
you know, move on. Sure,

48
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.680
sure, okay, So now let's
go to the civilized sports of golf.

49
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.560
Yes, did you were you prepared? Was that your first time? That

50
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.520
my first? What did you prepare
for? And what did you see.

51
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.000
Well, we knew it was going
to be a party. We knew.

52
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.960
I didn't think it was going to
be that crowded though. We got there

53
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.639
early too, and it was anywhere
by the entrance or the first few holes

54
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.080
totally packed. You can barely move. The lines to get even a water

55
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.759
were just so long, Yeah,
to do anything. And then they're like,

56
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.719
there's like only certain ways you can
walk down, in certain ways you

57
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.879
can walk up. And they have
started closing off different holes and stuff so

58
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.280
everyone could watch the same holes.
Did you what was your purpose in going?

59
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.439
I don't know. I just wanted
to go check out the golf tournament.

60
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.000
Okay, okay, did you it
wasn't Did you see any golf?

61
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.560
I actually saw like I think maybe
two two swings. That's my kind of

62
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.080
point. Go for the golf.
You don't. You don't you don't go

63
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.439
for the golf. For this tournament. I don't even know how the players

64
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.599
focus. I mean, it's crazy. There's screaming there, couldn't focus.

65
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.639
Yeah, but I like every year, I'm sure it's the same thing,

66
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.639
but I heard this year was just
the worst. We left kind of early

67
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.199
because it was just too two packed. It stop serving alcohol, and they

68
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.360
stopped even scanning tickets, so anyone
could just come in and like, what

69
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.680
did I pay to pay for?
But it was still cool to see.

70
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.040
Well, certainly a spectacle. Let's
say. It was definitely a spectacle.

71
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.959
But you know, in the end, people want to go see the golf.

72
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.680
I mean, did you think that
waste management? You think people paid

73
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:53.519
to see the golf? Some people
they don't. They don't at the WASTA.

74
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.199
I would do it again, but
I would buy VIP or something like

75
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.759
early or something to be able to
sit and watch and sit at the sixteenth

76
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.360
hole or something and sit somewherehere you
could sit and watch and not have to

77
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.040
like be running around trying to find
a good place to see. I would

78
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.600
do it again, but I would
do it differently. Okay, yeah,

79
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.319
yeah, you don't know too,
you know, and yeah, no,

80
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.800
no, there's a lot of people
that go for the party. Yeah right,

81
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.519
people watch the people watching to have
the party. Yeah, yeah,

82
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.439
you know they do. But even
that's not big of a party if you're

83
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800
taking the lines to get beers,
and I mean, yeah, that's the

84
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.519
thing. And that's why I was
like kind of disappointment because I was like,

85
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.639
this is not how I thought it
was going to be. I saw

86
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:41.000
a video of the lines at the
bathroom, and I'm like, were crazy

87
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.720
expensive to get anywhere. They're saying
it was taking you an hour or more

88
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.639
just to go to the bathroom.
Well, if you're up there for a

89
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.959
few hours to watch golf and you
gotta spend an hour of it in the

90
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.560
bathroom because you got to go,
Yeah, you know what fun is that?

91
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.480
That's didn't you say last week you
went to Pebble Beach a couple of

92
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.040
years ago US Open, Yeah,
how was that orderly? Yeah? There

93
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.680
was no order. It was you
know, it was crowded. You know,

94
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.639
Tiger Woods was playing in it,
and the crowd following him was incredible.

95
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.759
But you watched that and we're in
awe of it. You just thought,

96
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.079
I mean the guy wasn't ever even
in contention that year. Yeah,

97
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.279
yet there were more people following him
than anybody else, which meant you could

98
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.319
see uh Rory mcrel you could you
could see you know, justin Thomas,

99
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.560
you could see all those guys.
Yeah, because everybody was following Tiger.

100
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.120
Now we did, you know,
like we got ahead of where a couple

101
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.199
of holes ahead of where he was
coming, and we watched and we watched

102
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.240
him come through. We got good
sea, but the crowd that followed.

103
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.959
So you gotta you gotta be pro
strategic about what you're gonna do, you

104
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.480
know. We we we decided that
what we wanted to sit at the eighteenth

105
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.480
hole and watch the end of the
golf tournament in the bleachers there. It

106
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.959
was gonna take us an hour and
a half to get into the bleachers,

107
00:06:58.079 --> 00:06:59.959
right, two people had to leave
for two more people to go up.

108
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.519
Yeah, so said, screw it, let's go walk the golf course.

109
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.439
The lines for the stands were like
hours, and I was asking, like,

110
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.399
how long do you think it will
take there? Like three hours?

111
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.079
And I'm like, I'm not even
planning on being here for three hours exactly,

112
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.199
you know, exactly, you know, if we need to go to

113
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.160
the bathroom. We went to the
bathroom. We sat on a couple of

114
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.560
tea boxes and you could get a
drink, right, We sat tea boxes.

115
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.600
We sat at some at some by
the greens, and we got to

116
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.120
see the golf, which is you
know, when you got a field like

117
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.560
a US Open field, you want
to see the guys. You want to

118
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
see the guys that you go to
see. You want to see Tiger Woods,

119
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.879
you want to see Rory mcka where
you want to see. You know.

120
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.600
At that time, Dustin Johnson and
a bunch of those guys who were

121
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.920
in live. We had a great
time and it was it was an experience

122
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.079
of a lifetime. I can't even
imagine what that would have been like over

123
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.759
the weekend. Yes, so we're
gonna have somebody in about ten minutes of

124
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.800
getting some sense of all this,
just getting her thoughts at least obviously Judy

125
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:58.120
McDermott, a former executive director of
the Concuston now the president of the Tea

126
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.480
the Prestige. Yeah, she's she's
seen it all and we'll have her thoughts

127
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.240
on this book while we're still on
the subject. Her counterpart at the Thunderbirds,

128
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.720
the Phoenix under Bird, they're the
that's their conquistators, who who who

129
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.360
operate and run the tournament. Their
executive director who positioned that Judy held here

130
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.839
at the Conquistators. He's come out
and here here's a questions in the ESPN

131
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.560
story, I think that you will
see a complete operational change of how we

132
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.800
manage our Friday and really our Friday
and Saturday, but the entire week.

133
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.720
We're very proud of what we've built. I think we've been Tournament of the

134
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000
Year on the PGA Tour five of
the last seven years. But we don't

135
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.960
like what happened on Saturday. The
players don't like what happened on Saturday,

136
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.399
our fans don't like what happened on
Saturday. So nothing is off the table.

137
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.440
I'm reading there's a headline here a
woman fell from Friday Friday. Friday

138
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.320
Friday, a woman fell from from
the from the sky one of the sweet

139
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.080
shop. It says she's got non
life threatening injuries. But now there was

140
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.240
also so muddy, like everyone was
covered in mud, like people were falling,

141
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.360
sliding down, like just the stuff
that was going I saw another video

142
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.600
of a guy who wanted to get
into a suite but not pay right,

143
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:18.159
so he jumped up and grabbed like
a ledge, shimmied over and then pulled

144
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.799
himself up and over into the suite
and they just let him, and they

145
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.919
just let him. And who does
who goes to a golf tournament to do

146
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.720
that. It's it's it's not like
classy golf tournament like you would think it

147
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.799
would be you know, it's like
yeah, and and that that you know,

148
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.840
they got the reputation, they built
their reputations being the one off that

149
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.120
isn't the you know, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff he stuff,

150
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.600
and that's fine, and they built
a reputation on that, and that's

151
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.159
what the sixteenth hole is all about. Yeah, but like I said,

152
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.559
yes, it got out of here. Yeah, and you can you don't

153
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.559
know what's gonna happen until it happens. Although it was creeping, it's been

154
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.000
heading in that direction for a while. This is a shocker, not really

155
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.600
really. Yeah, it was overhyped
in my opinion though, definitely over what

156
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.080
do you mean the golf tournament?
People say it's so fun, it's the

157
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.360
best golf tournament ever, and it
was too It was how do you have

158
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.639
fun being smushed with people and even
pushed and like you don't even know where

159
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.159
to go, Like which way can
we go where it's gonna be less crowdics

160
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.240
it's just crowded everywhere? Yeah,
like should we go to like the beginning

161
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.759
holes? Like and everywhere? It
was so so in your experience, what

162
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.759
would you get one to ten in
your experience sounds like a three or four.

163
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.759
Yeah, I was gonna say like
five like it was fun, Like

164
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.000
it was fun, like I had
fun with my friends, and there were

165
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.159
other things that were fun about it, Like the whole day was a fun

166
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.279
day for me, But the actual
tournament was not the highlight of my weekend.

167
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.759
Yeah, yeah, I saw it
again. A video of somebody posted

168
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.759
that said it went he got it, gets to the front of the line

169
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.480
at a snack bar, a slice
of pizza and a beer five thirty two

170
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.480
thirty two, eight fourteen for the
pizza eighteeneen. I heard thirteen. Ye,

171
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.919
Well they stopped serving alcohol. Yeah
that's crazy, that was but it's

172
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.080
probably smart that they probably how much
your beers at the football game, I

173
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.320
don't know. I don't buy beer, okay, but I think they're twenty

174
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.480
airs in the stadium. But they're
they're they're tall, Yeah, they're tall,

175
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.879
They're tall. Yeah. Still,
come on, and then I wonder

176
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.919
where nobody goes. Nobody goes and
they have a big screen at the house.

177
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.440
You know people you know, like
the on the six thirty game last

178
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.600
week. You know, I had
to go, you know, have dinner.

179
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.519
That's correct. Basketball game. I
run in, I grab a couple

180
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.440
of hot dogs. It's fifteen bucks. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

181
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.120
because there're five then you getting soda, but ten fifteen but two hot dogs

182
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.960
just really seven and a half dollars
and a half? Oh, how you

183
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.799
are you? Popcorn was five?
I was wondering who my charges were.

184
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.240
Yes, okay, if it wasn't
for the free sodas, we get in

185
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.879
that, I mean we get to
go to the basketball games instead on the

186
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.559
floor for freeze. I have not
come plaining, well, you cover a

187
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.200
decent team. I don't think I
don't think they'll let you before all right,

188
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.559
I cut you off when we were
going to oh yeah about our second

189
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.799
guest, So yeah, second guess. So I was thinking, you know,

190
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.639
we live in this world of craziness
and media, social media, blah

191
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.879
blah blah. And we talked to
Pete Williams all the time. I wanted

192
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.720
to give his take. What would
be the reaction in nineteen eighty three,

193
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.679
eighty four when he got here with
all the BS, with the BS posters

194
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.440
about his team back in the day, and how would he be handled it.

195
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.919
Oh, he doesn't know. He
doesn't now because because he follows me

196
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.559
and I post off and he says
he defends me or whatever because he reads

197
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.679
all of it. Yeah, and
he's that guy. He's but he's very

198
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.960
good in how we because he's a
diplomatic dude and no one's going to mess

199
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.840
with the Pope. No, he
would fight people, oh yeah, yeah,

200
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.240
he at least I think he at
least would engage. Yeah, so

201
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.399
in eighty five, eighty six,
So I wanted to ask them, and

202
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.759
obviously ask about the team, Yeah, because he follows him closely for sure.

203
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.440
But no, I'm I've been wanting
to talk to Pete for a while

204
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.840
because you know, I want to
you know, like I want to ask

205
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:03.679
him about you know, the how
the center who plays with us back to

206
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.159
the basket, the DeAndre Aids have
been devalued, the zach Eaties, you

207
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.000
know, those guys, they've been
devalued in the NBA. Now that you

208
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.399
know, if you're even if you're
seven foot two, you got to be

209
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.120
able to step out and hit a
three. And you know, because he

210
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.480
was even though he was six seven, right, he was a back to

211
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.679
the basket center. You know,
he was the guy that went in there

212
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.840
and he just you know, he
he but he was very physical with people

213
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.679
and that's why he was. He
was so good. Sure, okay,

214
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.679
you know, we'll talk about all
that. It was always good to have

215
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.960
Pete was always good to talk about
basketball. Yeah. No, that the

216
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.200
Wellcats are back my breakfast guys.
Man, they're all back on board.

217
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.720
Everybody was back on back on the
vandwig. Those guys are they looked really

218
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.799
good. Yeah. I don't think
you guys predicted they were going to win

219
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.080
this weekend. No, we were
all. I said a split. I

220
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.879
thought they would split. I thought, okay, I predicted uh, and

221
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.039
I thought I had it right.
But I predicted a Utah win. And

222
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.320
then I thought they'd lose to Colorado, you know, the second game of

223
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.000
the weekend thing. And then especially
after they went three overtimes, I think,

224
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:01.919
yeah, they're for Sugar to lose. They're just gonna be out of

225
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.000
gas. Yeah, but they sure
didn't stay through. They did. It

226
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.960
was very nice. So all right, let's go and take our break,

hi, Judy, if there's a woman

317
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.920
in this world, I know to
settle this golf problems, this fun and

318
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.200
games, I'm gonna call Judy.
What do you make of what's going on

319
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.200
in Phoenix or what went on in
Phoenix. Are we are we on the

320
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:04.880
air? Are on the air?
Yes you are? Oh goodness, what

321
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:10.640
do you make of it? Well, it was all bound to happen,

322
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.240
wasn't it. Yeah, that's kind
of what we were saying there. But

323
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:19.519
in their defense, they make a
ton of money for charity and that's what's

324
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.559
amazing. But obviously the PGA Tour
for years has been on them. And

325
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.559
now that the players really came out
and used some interesting language back at the

326
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.279
fans and things, it's time.
It was. It kind of an accepted

327
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.400
thing though too, that this that
the Phoenix Open was going to be sort

328
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.400
of that that one off where people
can get a little looser, you know,

329
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.079
the a lot of the players participated
in, you know, the things

330
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.720
going on around at the sixteenth hole. It was kind of like, we're

331
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.599
trying to have some fun different from
what we do at all the other tournaments.

332
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.640
And it's okay, right, absolutely, and all and all the players

333
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:57.559
know that, and that's why,
you know, as you know, it's

334
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.559
not like, you know, Tiger
played there every year. He quit playing.

335
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.279
So sorry I'm getting echo that slim. Yeah you're good though, we

336
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:17.599
can hear you find good is the
caller there anyway, for years they have

337
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.519
been warned and with the PGA Tour, but obviously the tournament is a force,

338
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.000
and you know, it's great for
golf because you're just attracting so many

339
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.960
eyeballs on golf that week, and
like you say, and they make a

340
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.640
ton of money for charity, and
so you can't argue with that. But

341
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.519
obviously, between the weather and everything
that happened with having to get everybody on

342
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.599
the cart paths and stuff, they
just were overrun this week. And it

343
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.440
just sounds like from what I saw
on TV, I didn't go up,

344
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.640
but we're down, I guess.
But the players just the players had it.

345
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.079
Yeah, well something like that.
As you said, I think you

346
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.359
alluded to that, you know,
the fact that Tiger used to play that

347
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.480
he doesn't now other players do.
There's some golfers who just say, yeah,

348
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.839
I want to go do that,
I want to have fun, and

349
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:03.559
then others who just said I want
no part of it. Correct, correct,

350
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.720
you know, and you know,
and the money still there, and

351
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.000
you know, it's a great golf
course and the Thunderbirds treat all the players

352
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:14.119
well and and everybody knows it's good
for golf and it's a little different,

353
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.079
but it just, like I say, it just it just you know,

354
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:21.079
it used to be just on sixteen
on the rowdy holes and the spectators were

355
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.720
just wild everywhere. This this past
week, I wonder why you want to

356
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:30.279
be here to well part of it
too. They had the delay and so

357
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:37.559
then everybody's still drinking. So it's
it just was a force that just you

358
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.200
know, turned into one big volcano. Obviously. What were some of the

359
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.480
tougher challenges that you had, you
know as the director and running that and

360
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.920
running that tournament that you know,
we're kind of out of the unusual.

361
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.160
I mean I remember you were you
still the executive director when they when it

362
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.599
snowed over up a time. Yeah, so you know you had that stuff

363
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.839
like that, right, you know
what I mean? Was there anything that

364
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:02.759
was a really hard thing to deal
with like that or was it just kind

365
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.359
of like, Okay, the weather's
bad and that it is what it is.

366
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.359
What were some of the tough things
you had to do? Well?

367
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.400
The year the year at snowed on
the match play, it actually made it

368
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.359
centure the title sponsor really happy because
we basically made national international news picture pictures.

369
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.799
Well, you know when you're a
title sponsor and you're spending all that

370
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.759
money. You know, they were
thrilled, and and obviously we had the

371
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.559
benefit because it was match play in
a limited field. We were able to

372
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.640
get the tournament in even though we
had so much snow. And the next

373
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.599
day, you know, we didn't
tee off until late in the afternoon.

374
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.599
Let me ask you this dumb question. But you expected from me. I

375
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.119
know you have a great life.
I want you to adopt me, but

376
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.680
but do you miss your old role? I missed some parts of it,

377
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.599
but it was it was just time
to do this. I don't. I

378
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.039
don't miss it. And with what's
going on with Live Golf, and and

379
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.400
obviously you know, the Cool of
Guard Classics move into La Paloma this year,

380
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.279
so Jeff and his team and the
Conqui stores, you know, they

381
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.119
have a lot of work to go
to a new site. It's going to

382
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:04.400
be exciting. And the routing of
the eighteen holes is using all three nines

383
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.000
at La Paloma, so that'll be
fun to see the routing and see the

384
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.599
players play a different golf course.
Well let's talk about that, because I

385
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.680
don't but I don't, but I
don't, I don't miss it in that

386
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.480
regard, because we're doing so many
great things with our junior golf programs and

387
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.319
our first two programs and the kids
just you know, putting putting golf clubs

388
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.319
in the hands of a kid that
never ever would have had the opportunity to

389
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.039
do that, it's pretty rewarding.
I want to talk about that in a

390
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.240
second, but let me go back
to the you know, the golf run

391
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.880
and being at La Paloma this year. It bounced around a couple of places

392
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.079
while you were while you were running
the show over there. How hard is

393
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:42.839
that to you know, move the
venue and kind of do everything all over

394
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.319
again and just kind of start from
scratch and build a whole other infrastructure and

395
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.400
all that type of stuff. How
tough was is that? For these guys?

396
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.759
It's really hard. You know,
it's a ton of meetings and a

397
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.640
ton of meeting with the vendors and
then obviously meeting with the site. You

398
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.720
know, you're putting up these massive
tents and scaffoldings that are going to do

399
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.640
some damage to the golf course,
and you have to deal with all those

400
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.559
things, and you know, you're
trying to please everybody. You're trying to

401
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:14.400
please the volunteers. You're trying to
please the spectators. You're trying to please

402
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.920
the host golf course, You're trying
to please the PGA Tour, You're trying

403
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.160
to please the players. Obviously,
the charity piece is so important, you

404
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.400
know, you know the Conquis stores
here locally, you know, we put

405
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.680
the tournament on for the community to
have something professional here because obviously we don't

406
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.440
have a lot of professional sports in
Tucson, per se. And then also

407
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.359
in turn trying to make money for
charity, to make as much money as

408
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.920
you can. So it's a fine
line of how much you spend on what

409
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:42.200
you know to do it. I'll
tell you a story. I mean,

410
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.319
everything's just getting more expensive. My
little cousin is he's now the operations director

411
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.599
for Tiger Woods Foundation, and they
run the tournament at Riviera in la where

412
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:57.200
Tiger's playing this week, and their
costs have quadrupled to put up tents and

413
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.839
scaffolding at that event. And you
know the same holds true here in Tucson.

414
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.440
So and the thing is, you
need that stuff. You need it

415
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.680
right, So you need it.
You have to pred corporate entertaining, and

416
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.359
you know, to make a different
than just you know, walking down the

417
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.720
roads. And you know that's that's
what it's about, you know, the

418
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.400
everyday spectator walking the golf course and
watching people play. It's fun too.

419
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.319
And but but you got to have
the scaffolding and the hospitality suite, sure,

420
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.160
you have no question. I know
we deal with it a tour where

421
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.759
you know, the barricades and the
cops blah blah blah. And they don't

422
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.599
talk about that for funding, right
and they don't. You got to find

423
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.440
a way to find them. You
got to cover all that. You gotta

424
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.440
cover all that. Well, yeah, it's it's a it's a fine it's

425
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.920
a fine line. But uh,
you know, for the for the Color

426
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.160
Guard Classic, La Paloma has been
a wonderful partner for them. Yeah,

427
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.079
it was a good move for the
tournament. And ask you what do you

428
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.400
think of that movie? What do
you think of La Paloma as a place

429
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:55.200
to host a tournament like this?
I think change is good, you know

430
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.839
a little different. And you know, obviously some people are saying, oh,

431
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.039
it's hard to walk and this and
that, but it's not like it

432
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.279
is the Phoenix Open, so you
know there'll be plenty of room to move

433
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.720
around and walk down the cart paths
and see people play, and the players

434
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.599
are going to enjoy the golf course
a lot. And and it's you know,

435
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.319
more of a desert style. So
when you talk about the national and

436
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.680
international broadcast on television, it's really
going to showcase showcase tu Son, you

437
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.440
know, in a really nice way
with the desert style golf course. And

438
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.720
the audience is totally different then we'll
obviously up in North up in Phoenix,

439
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:33.960
it's that civilized crowd, you mean, all nice to you and me.

440
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.720
There's still some partiers that go to
the cold that class. And I'll go

441
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:45.240
to the concerts Friday night, but
you know who can go. There's nothing

442
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.559
on the scale of what happens in
Phoenix. I know more. I know

443
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.599
that there's more than a few people. There's more than a fe people that

444
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.119
I know who are a little disappointed
that there's no Grand Slam tent. Right

445
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:03.200
the Friday night tent with with both
the band Uh duck soup. I was

446
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.839
thinking something duck, but it was
duck soup. Yeah, you know what

447
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:10.279
I mean? That that was?
That was I really am, I really

448
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:11.839
am, you know, stop it. I don't know what to tell you,

449
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.880
I mean, Judy, I mean, don't don't take this wrong,

450
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.240
but there were years that I only
went to the Grand Slam tent and didn't

451
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.839
even ever go to the golf because
I just, you know, get off

452
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.559
of work ahead to the concert Midlands
performing for them. They're going to have

453
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.119
that at Retol on Friday night.
It would be fun. It would be

454
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.279
fun, a little bit of something
for everybody, obviously, So let me

455
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:38.880
pick your brain. What's going on
with the Bruins And are you happy?

456
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:44.240
Fascinating, isn't it. I was
starting to I was starting to worry that

457
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.400
we might lose coach from Arizona,
Brandon going over to U SKLA since he

458
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:56.359
played there. But don't even start
a rumors and this town will go crazy

459
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.000
crazy. But uh but wow,
U c l A and I hold them

460
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.160
in high regard only because of the
basketball program. But now they're going to

461
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.319
the Big Big ten. What do
you think about the move? First of

462
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.400
all, you know, I'm not
happy about it at all. I mean,

463
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.240
I can't stan seeing the Pac twelve
doesolve. It breaks my heart.

464
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.279
And honestly, I mean, you
just look at you know, you just

465
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.119
look at women's basketball, and you
know, and how competitive competitive it's been,

466
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:30.920
you know, this season with the
Pac twelve. So it just it

467
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.480
just breaks my heart that it's breaking
up. And you know, you can

468
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.839
like Chip Kelly or not chip Kelly, but you guys probably saw that,

469
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.480
you know his comments on everything he's
he said in an interview, you know,

470
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.400
the football should be all on its
own, and he said, it's

471
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.160
the damn shame that UCLA and Arizona
are not going to play each other in

472
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.079
softball anymore, right now, right, And he's right, and that's coming

473
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.640
from you know, a football guy, right, No, his his,

474
00:30:55.960 --> 00:31:00.000
he's spent two three minutes on it
and everything he said, I told you

475
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.000
read, Yeah I was. I
was really impressed, you know with that.

476
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:08.200
So yeah, no, absolutely.
Can I ask a real quick questions?

477
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.000
So you played golf that you see
here? Right? I? Did

478
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:17.160
we talk about or people talk about
the the minor sports or the Olympic sports

479
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.640
having to travel all these distances?
Now Big ten, the Pac twelve is

480
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.400
going to go to the Big twelve. You know what I'm saying, Is

481
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.599
it that much of a difference for
the for the minor sports, if you

482
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:32.240
will, going and traveling and coming
back, and how it'll affect them academically

483
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:37.039
and otherwise. I'll be honest,
I haven't studied the schedule enough. But

484
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:38.960
you know, on golf was always
a little different the way the tournaments were

485
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:41.680
structured because it wasn't like you were
just going to play one team. So

486
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.319
it's not quite the same as the
softball team or the basketball team. You

487
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.680
know, you know going over So
so I can't really say, not knowing

488
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.559
how the actual schedule is going to
work, but you know, it sure

489
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.200
seems like it's going to be pretty
complicated to me and a lot of traveling.

490
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.880
Yeah, all right, so we've
only got a couple more how things

491
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.559
going over at the first he still
a lot of a lot of little kids

492
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.119
playing golf in more and more,
how's it going? All? All kinds

493
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.240
of kids playing golf? And we
run all the competitive tournaments and we introduced

494
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.759
kids to the game. We got
almost a thousand kids in the program and

495
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:20.880
about two hundred kids a player junior
competitive tournaments. And one of our kids,

496
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.559
James Lebucus, who he became a
caddy at Tucson Country Club through a

497
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:29.519
new program we helped them start for
the Evan scholars Program. He actually was

498
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:34.839
awarded the Evan scholars and so he's
going to get a full ride scholarship to

499
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.839
the school that he ends up getting
accepted to. He's already been accepted to

500
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.240
several but he hasn't chosen yet full
scholarship. So everything. So I did

501
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.359
the room board tuition, you name
it. Great kid, and so we're

502
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.240
really excited for him. I did
a little piece in BIZ Tucson about that

503
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.880
Tucson Country Club had a special section
and I did a little bit about that

504
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.480
Evans scholarship. I mean that is
that's just something that's really cool for you

505
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.200
know, these kids to have a
love of golf, but you know,

506
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.839
get get a chance, and a
lot of these kids don't you know,

507
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.119
might not otherwise get that chance.
Yeah, it's based obviously on financial need,

508
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.160
but and then how many loops you
get. It's it's a great you

509
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.279
know, it's been in it's out
of Chicago, and it's amazing. We

510
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.079
have a new college scholarship program and
so our applications are going out for our

511
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.519
kids for college scholarship. Obviously based
on need and all those things, but

512
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.079
it's not a full ride. It's
just you know a little bit of money

513
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:30.880
here. So so that Evan Scholar
and our partnership with two Cuntry sub with

514
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.000
the kids Caddy and it's just been
dynamite. Is it. Is it a

515
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.240
program that's continuing to grow or or
or or what? And how many kids

516
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.039
do you have in their program?
What's that? Is it still growing?

517
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.480
And how many kids do you have
in the in the program in the First

518
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.160
Tea Program? Yes? Yeah,
we have almost a thousand kids in the

519
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:54.240
First Tea Program on a calendar year. So wow, it's amazing. Okay,

520
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.599
I'm I'm and like to say about
two hundred kids that play our competitive

521
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:01.000
tournament. Okay, I'm a ten
year kid. I've never golf before.

522
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.440
You know, my parents don't have
a whole lot of stuff. I go

523
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.119
to school. I love sports.
Talk talk me into being you know,

524
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:13.679
joining up with First Tea and being
uh, you know, being a part

525
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.360
of that program. That's what's so
great about what we do is you know,

526
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.960
we're more than just golf and everything
is is group lessons and it's not

527
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.360
like when you come here you're just
coming out. It's almost like recess.

528
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:28.480
You know, you're going out and
playing golf on recess and you're not but

529
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.159
you're not holding up your hand waiting
to be the last person to be picked

530
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.159
to be on the team. Everybody's
treated equally no matter what your skill level,

531
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.039
and so much of what we do
here is we teach them how to

532
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.159
you know, set goals, stay
in school, work on goal laddering,

533
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.920
you know, just give these kids, you know, a sense of belonging

534
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.800
and a place to go in a
safe space. And then, you know,

535
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.920
and if they want to move on
and do more things competitive leave golf,

536
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.440
we have that too. We kind
of run the gamut with what we

537
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.320
do here and introducing them to the
game on up to getting them true,

538
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.079
true golf lessons if that's the direction
they want to go. But what's nice

539
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.000
about what we do with You don't
need your own clubs. We provide everything,

540
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.960
and once you stay in the program
a little bit, we'll give you

541
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.119
clubs if you want to take them
home and practice. Other time. I'm

542
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:16.440
going to cheer up. I'm going
to cheer up. You're a good girl,

ton to her. Yeah, I still

have pro golf. You know. One

552
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.559
of the things that she didn't say
that, And you know this, finding

553
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.800
a sponsor is just not easy,
man, that's the and that's the biggest

554
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.320
thing they'd try to chase down.

597
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:01.039
exes and ohs. It's Steve Rivera
and Jagins. This is I on the

598
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:06.760
ball on Fox Sports fourteenth Phi.
Welcome back to the ball, you know,

599
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.440
Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve, He's Jay. We have at

600
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:13.199
least today with us. We have
thirteen minutes. If you guys want to

601
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:17.920
call you gont check about hoops,
just call golf, whatever. Football,

602
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.599
Let's not go there. We're done
with football. Where do you guys think

603
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.440
about Pele? And after that performance? Well, I think we he's like

604
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:32.679
the basketball team in November December.
Wow, they're good and then just don't

605
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:37.119
go away. Yeah, because that's
what that's what we see he's capable of.

606
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.599
Yeah, but guess what it may
not be as consistent. Yeah,

607
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.840
does it make sense? Uh huh? Jay? Yeah, No, they

608
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:49.079
and we've been saying. You know
again, Evan Makawa turned us on to

609
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.079
him that when he plays well,
they play well. Yes, and when

610
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.679
he doesn't play well, they don't
play well. And he's he you know,

611
00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:00.599
he's it's weird to think that he's
the the lickxir. Yeah, like

612
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.199
as you say, the magic potion, you know, the secret sauce,

613
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.760
the secret sauce, secret, the
secret sauce, and and and so you

614
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:13.760
know the fact that that you know, he I mean, he had he

615
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.000
earned the Player of the week and
they swept on the road. Yeah.

616
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.400
But you know what, we kind
of pointed out this yesterday because you said

617
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:22.840
that he's been overtaken by h.
Bradley. Bradley, but the guy and

618
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:27.800
we said this kind of strangely,
Okay, so Pelle right, he does

619
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:30.079
really well, the team plays well. The guy that played really well,

620
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.400
Kylon Boswell, Arizona needs him.
Uh and then you come up with Baba

621
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:38.039
they need him. So it's kind
of like everybody needs to have their piece

622
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:42.639
of the pie to make this team
go well. And to your point of

623
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.920
Bradley, I totally every point that
you made, totally agree, except that

624
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.199
he doesn't pass the ball as much, And I was thinking about this coming

625
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:54.280
in today. The success of this
team is the passing of the ball.

626
00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:01.840
The ball finds as open many and
sometimes that doesn't happen. When a couple

627
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:07.679
of guys get the ball, right, that's one of them. Right,

628
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.119
you've been paid attention at all.
Right, so if that was to continue,

629
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.679
I don't have to pay attention too
much to see that. And how

630
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.639
many times, Jay, maybe you
at least do you say, and he

631
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.559
shoots the ball from wherever? You
think? No? No, yeah,

632
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.519
yeah, now you know. Let's
say, let's see what happened with the

633
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:30.079
year. And as you said,
Steve, it's gonna it's every every week.

634
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:31.119
It's gonna be a wait and see. Okay, let's see what they

635
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:35.719
do next. It is a wait
and see. You never know because they've

636
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:37.760
been as you say, you know, you say you can't trust him.

637
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.639
I say, they're just unpredictable.
I was just gonna ask, because you

638
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:44.360
haven't been with us for a while, I haven't brought this question to you.

639
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.880
Do you trust one of your questions? Do you do you do you

640
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:52.400
trust this team to win every game
or to win when they should? Yeah,

641
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.559
just the rest of the year.
I don't know. I don't think

642
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:59.760
I trust them, That's that's what. No, I don't I think that

643
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.800
people who have seen enough games love
this team, but they don't trust them.

644
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:08.840
Yeah, they are, they're unpredictable. Yeah, but I mean this

645
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:13.559
weekend you get a little bit more
trust in them. Now, sure,

646
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:15.440
until you don't, I know,
because remember we were saying, like again

647
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:21.599
I actually said this the other day
on UATV, that it was amazing that

648
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.360
they could come back from Stanford and
UCLA, even though they should never be

649
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:27.760
down in the first place. But
we were saying, like they were at

650
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.960
home, like they probably wouldn't have
won if they weren't in McHale. But

651
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:35.599
then they did this at Utah and
they had the fight in them. Actually

652
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:37.800
they gave up, they gave up, I know, but you know they

653
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:44.599
played till the end. Yeah,
yeah, it is what it is.

654
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.559
I mean the things, they're eight
strong, they're a good When they play

655
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:51.480
really well, we see what they're
capable of. When they struggle, we

656
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:57.400
see what they're capable of. We
have and don't forget Jay in the tournament,

657
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:00.760
how many bullets do you get?
You get one, get one and

658
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:06.440
six day trying you know, you
got to hit the bulls eye every time,

659
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:08.320
right right now? I get yeah, I understand. You know,

660
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:12.119
there's I'm not trying to poo poo
or anything. I mean, those you

661
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.679
are, but that's okay. Those
are the legitimate things I'm not trying to

662
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.320
do. You guys think it's going
to be looking good in the tournament team

663
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.719
oys, Yeah, that's what we
really don't know. Well, how about

664
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:28.880
how about what Kansas did? Yeah, you texted right away. Yeah,

665
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.679
twenty nine point loss. It's crazy, unranked. If you're if you're a

666
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:37.800
canvas guy, you trust them,
You've lost your mind. You know you've

667
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:39.679
lost. Do you trust? Does
your mom trust Duke? I trust?

668
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:45.840
Yes, because they're always more solid, though they're more consistent. They almost

669
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.320
lost the weak for us at home
last night. They won, though they

670
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.800
almost lost. There's a lot of
teams that are out there that aren't.

671
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:58.840
You don't know, even Purdue come
on as good as they are. Do

672
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:04.079
you really think giving their tree?
I don't trust that exactly exactly. It's

673
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:07.559
just when these players are so young
and unexperienced, that's it's hard to win

674
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:14.400
March madness like that. But Arizona
is more experienced now, so you're trying

675
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.599
to go away with a diploma and
some luck. You need a little luck

676
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:21.400
to you need a lot of luck, luck and health and all that stuff.

677
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.480
We'll see what happens. I'm not
try trying to poo poo and it's

678
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:27.840
just what I see. My eyes
aren't lying to me. I don't think

679
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:36.239
no, no, you're right.
I mean it's you. I mean you're

680
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:38.480
you're a hum percent correct. I
mean if you're thinking, okay, everything's

681
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:43.519
fixed, then you haven't been watching
them all year long, right, right,

682
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:45.880
because it's day to day, it's
game to game, right, you

683
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.360
haven't you haven't been paying attention.
So yeah, you know you have to

684
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.239
you know you have to kind of
just take it day by day. That's

685
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:57.039
what it is. I mean,
that's it's it's a stupid cliche, but

686
00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.360
you have to do You really do
have to take them one game at a

687
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:01.280
time. Who thought that ACU was
going to come in and beat them last

688
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.320
year? Then they did? You
let them hang, Let them hang,

689
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:07.400
You let them hang. Then they
hit a half court shot to win the

690
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.960
game. If I said last Saturday
morning and said, okay, Jay,

691
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.679
here's a hundred bucks, uh,
put it on. Put it on.

692
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:17.039
Utah or a issue. What are
you doing, I'm going to Utah easy,

693
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:22.639
right, he's easy man, easy
money, and so well, because

694
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.440
it's you never know, give from
on any team. Yeah right right,

695
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.559
no, so that's you know,
and that's so that's where we are with

696
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:32.360
this team. And no matter what
happens, Steve, you know, they

697
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:36.440
can want a winning streak. They
can win three more games in a row,

698
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:38.880
right they you know, they they've
got I think the Washington schools commit.

699
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:42.719
So let's say they win these next
three home games they should, which

700
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.760
they should, right, they should. Right, let's say they do.

701
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.239
Now they're on a six game winning
streak with momentum, right, and you

702
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:54.079
are you thinking though, right,
are you thinking? Okay, there's after,

703
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.960
there's after, who's after? Then
they then they go to say,

704
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:00.480
oh see, you see it.
That's even because you see, right,

705
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:01.880
isn't that very well at the end
of the end of the regular season,

706
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.320
Uh? Yeah probably? And U
c. L A Is I think the

707
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:08.199
last game of the year, and
you're looking, oh no, because they're

708
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:13.119
playing really well. Yeah, so
you know, I'm looking up here real

709
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.719
quick. I've got on my trusty
calendar because yeah, you got you've got

710
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:20.480
the Washington Schools here next week.
Then they go to oh no, they've

711
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:25.920
got uh uh uh, they got
a s U on the twenty eighth Wednesday.

712
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:31.039
Up, that's right, And then
Oregon comes here. Then they go

713
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:35.760
to the there's still a lot of
basketball left, especially issue up there,

714
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:37.960
because you know how crazy it is, Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah.

715
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:43.000
Then they go to the LA schools
and then who's first u USC or UCL

716
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.559
C l A is on Thursday?
Okay, the US is the last game

717
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:47.840
of the season. Yeah, so
they beat U C l A on Thursday,

718
00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:52.679
and then guess what that downer game
that you always have to worry about

719
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.559
is that Saturday. Yeah, because
there's always playing down to a team that

720
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:00.960
you know what, a USC is
so bad. Yeah, they're so bad.

721
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:06.440
Oregon State wasn't very good, but
no US is even worse. I

722
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:08.639
mean they're the last place by a
lot. USC and Arizona were supposed to

723
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:13.119
be the top two of the pack
twelve. This season. Washington State's been

724
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.280
the big, big surprise. I
was excited for these USC matchups and now

725
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:23.519
it's well, you kids booing BROWNI
just I was not Bannie. I was

726
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:30.880
working that game. Students. You
guys, you guys. No, yeah,

727
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:31.840
so I mean, I mean you
look at their schedule. You know,

728
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.400
they got a SU should be a
win. They got Washington State,

729
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:37.039
should be a win. They got
Washington should be a win. Then they

730
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.239
got a SU again, didn't They
lose to Washington this year at Washington State.

731
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:45.559
But in Washington state's put there.
They're gonna come here and they're gonna

732
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:49.119
Arizona's gonna be passed and then and
they're gonna beat them. So you may

733
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.719
have a seven game winning streak heading
with Oregon coming to town. Now you

734
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:55.119
make it eight and then you go
to U c l A and USC and

735
00:47:55.159 --> 00:48:01.559
you're thinking, Okay, what can
go wrong? The traffic, the traffic

736
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:06.159
just to get to the games?
Get what can go wrong? Well,

737
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.000
sid who is it that head?
That was it Oregon that had that trouble

738
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.559
at U C l A. There
was a presidential motorcade that kept them from

739
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:17.840
getting the arena. Corey Williams was
doing the game him and and what's his

740
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:22.199

I saw a lot of I saw, you know. The one thing

752
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:14.039
I saw her play. I thought
she looks like a deal. She plays

753
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.679
like a deal. Smooth, very
smooth on the busket. Yeah, she

754
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.119
plays. She plays a different game
than the rest of them. She definitely

755
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:25.480
does. The woman played well last
night, it could. I mean they

756
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:30.079
were hanging pretty well into the game
and then they weren't down by that much.

757
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:34.079
Then it got away from him.
I feel for a deal now that

758
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.559
it's almost over whatever, seven players, how are you going to survive,

759
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:46.119
man, whether it's injuries or craziness
or whatever. Gilbert was back and she

760
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:50.320
played well. You know, they
all played well. It's just us.

761
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.960
It was just too much for him. Yeah, no, I I I

762
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.960
watched enough. I turned it on
and it was towards the end of the

763
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:00.000
first quarter, right, they were
at the end of the I'm like,

764
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.559
wow, there's a little something going
on here. And then they hung with

765
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:07.360
them and they were down what four, four or five at the half.

766
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.639
I thought it was like more like
ten, but you know, I mean,

767
00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:14.400
but they were there. Actually in
the middle of the second quarter,

768
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:16.360
they were still hanging and then I
mean had I think at a four or

769
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:20.079
five point lead at one point in
the second quarter, and then the game

770
00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:22.880
got away, got away. You
know that's to be expected. Yeah,

771
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:29.559
but you know, Idea's gotta she's
got to kind of evaluate, you know,

772
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.280
how her program's going, the players
that she's bringing in, right,

773
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.719
and you know she's doing that.
I mean, I mean, she she's

774
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.119
going to I mean, she's she
and all of a sudden become a bad

775
00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:43.440
coach. Yeah, she's she's well, she's evaluated it for the last two

776
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:45.599
years, right, and then it's
just not just not working, you know,

777
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:49.960
and she's and maybe she's you know, she's adjusting to the things that

778
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.519
you know need adjusting in this day
and age of of of uh you know,

779
00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:59.400
of coaching and that in this uh
you know in college and it's like

780
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:04.280
some people just to well some people
don't you got you know, your your

781
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.800
athletes can be all nutty and you
don't know what to do with them.

782
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.599
And so, uh, she'll be
fine. I think she'll be fine.

783
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:15.480
She's still a good coach. Yeah, listen, I think right right,

784
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:20.039
Okay, I was, I was
talking to somebody today, how would you

785
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.480
handle in a l as a coach? That'd be so always so tough,

786
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.599
knowing that you're gonna lose players to
other schools. You don't have a choice.

787
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:29.920
If you got it, you've got
to embrace it, and you've got

788
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:35.599
to figure out ways to help.
I mean, your livelihood at at stake.

789
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:37.679
If you if you if you,
if you think I can ignore it

790
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:42.280
and continue to be competitive, then
you're not going to have a job for

791
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:45.360
very long. Yeah, you have
to embrace it. That. Plus you're

792
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:50.360
in Tucson, Arizona. Uh,
and you're asking the local companies to give

793
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:54.840
you money, especially now with a
you of a the school in trouble here

794
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.559
and then you have n I l
here and then you have the Athletic Department

795
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:02.320
here all asking the same people,
same questions. Can you give us some

796
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.440
money? You got? You have
to embrace it. Absolutely do and you

797
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:09.159
had no choice. And if you
don't, then then you need to do

798
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:13.199
what Chip Kelly did and go somewhere
where you don't have to to do with

799
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.039
it. Take a job that you
don't have to deal with it. I

800
00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:17.239
bet you that was reasons could be
a reason when you did that. Yeah.

801
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:21.079
Absolutely, I've had enough of this. I don't need it anymore.

802
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.639
